The chief engineer also presented proposals to the governor during the meeting.
While acknowledging the significance of the various projects under Project Pushpak, Singh assured the chief engineer of his commitment to facilitating coordination with relevant Central and state government authorities to ensure swift approvals and funding for their timely implementation, the sources said.
The discussion highlighted six key projects, including the urgent need to upgrade the Kawnpui-Durtlang-Aizawl (K-D-A) road and the necessity for securing funds from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the sources said.
The two discussed the need for fast track disposal of Land Acquisition (LA) and Forest Clearance (FC) cases related to International Border (IMB) road works and fencing works under MHA to ensure timely progress, and proposal for the Kawlchaw-Serkawr-Tuipang road, emphasising the need for the state government to issue a No Objection Certificate (NOC) promptly to commence this strategic work.

Kargil victory showed Indias courage, dignity: Delhi CM
New Delhi, Jul 26 (PTI) The triumph in Kargil War showed India's courage, restraint and dignity Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday. She said the Kargil Vijay Diwas is a tribute to the unmatched valour, discipline and dedication of the soldiers of the nation. Kargil Vijay Diwas is observed on July 26 every year. On this day in 1999, the Indian Army announced the successful culmination of Operation Vijay, declaring victory after a nearly three-month battle on the icy heights of Kargil, including such super-high-altitude locations as Tololing and Tiger Hill. Gupta said the Kargil War was not just about defending a territory but also battle for defending India's honour, sovereignty and resolve. 'The triumph in Kargil was victory of India's courage, restraint, dignity and devotion to the motherland. We pay the brave martyrs on this auspicious day with gratitude and reverence," said the chief minister. Their sacrifice fills us with a sentiment of putting the 'nation first", she added.

4 people killed in Russia, Ukraine as countries trade aerial attacks
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Moscow, Jul 26 (AP) Russia and Ukraine traded aerial attacks overnight, resulting in two deaths in each country, according to officials. Ukraine's southern Dnipro and northeastern Sumy regions came under combined rocket and drone attack, local officials reported. Head of the Dnipro regional administration Serhii Lysak said at least two people had died and five were wounded in the barrage. In the city of Dnipro, a multi-story building and business were damaged during the strike and in the region a fire engulfed a shopping centre. In Sumy, the military administration said three people were injured. Kharkiv sustained an intense aerial bombardment overnight with local authorities reporting Ukraine's second-largest city was hit by four guided aerial bombs, two ballistic missiles and 15 drones over a three-hour period. In a post on Telegram, Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said high-rise residential buildings, local businesses, roads and the communication network were damaged in the attack. He said at least five people were injured, including three rescue workers who were wounded in a double tap strike — where a second attack targets emergency workers trying to help people wounded in the initial attack. According to the daily air force report, in total Russia targeted Ukraine with 208 drones and 27 missiles overnight. It said according to preliminary data, air defense and electronic warfare took down or intercepted 183 drones and 17 missiles but hits from 10 missiles and 25 drones had been recorded in nine locations. In Russia, officials said that Ukrainian drones targeted multiple regions overnight. A drone attack on the Rostov region, on the border with Ukraine, killed two people, acting governor Yuri Slyusar reported. In the neighbouring Stavropol region, drones hit an unspecified industrial facility, governor Vladimir Vladimirov said on Telegram. He added that the attack sparked a brief fire, but didn't specify where exactly. Vladimirov said cellphone internet in the region was restricted because of the attack — a measure authorities regularly take across the vast country that critics say helps widespread online censorship. An unconfirmed media report said videos posted online by local residents showed that the drones hit the Signal radio plant that makes jamming equipment. The Associated Press was unable to verify the claim. Drones also targeted Moscow, but were shot down, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, and an unspecified industrial facility in the Penza region southeast of the capital, Gov. Oleg Melnichenko said. Russia's Defence Ministry said that its air defences shot down or intercepted a total of 54 Ukrainian drones, including 24 over the Bryansk region on the border with Ukraine, 12 over the Rostov region, six over the annexed Crimean Peninsula, four over the Azov sea, three over the Black Sea and a few others over the Orlov, Tula and Belgorod regions. Russian civil aviation agency Rosaviatsia overnight briefly halted flights in and out of airports serving the city of Kaluga, southwest of Moscow, as well as Vladikavkaz and Grozny in the North Caucasus.
