JDA yet to complete ROB, railway plans new project

1 2 Jaipur: At a time when the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) is yet to complete the construction of barely 700 metre long Civil Lines Railway Overbridge (ROB), there are plans to construct another ROB connecting Bani Park and Hasanpura sides of the railway station. Although experts are apprehensive about major chaos along the railway station if both constructions continue simultaneously on both sides of the Ajmer Road Puliya, JDA officials have claimed that they are trying their best to complete the construction of the Civil Lines RoB before the construction work for the proposed RoB starts. "We set a revised deadline of Dec this year to complete the construction of Civil Lines ROB. Even if we miss the deadline, we are hopeful to complete the Civil Lines ROB before railways start the construction work for the proposed ROB. It would take a few more months to commence the construction of the proposed ROB," stated a JDA official. Officials of the civic body made it clear that North Western Railway (NWR) would construct this proposed ROB connecting Ram Mandir on Bani Park side and Jal Mahal Chouraha in Hasanpura. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo JDA and PWD would only help the railways to allocate lands on the Bani Park side near the Ram Mandir. On the Hasanpura side, railways would utilise lands of its own colony. Recently, during a Projects Work Committee meeting of JDA, the civic body sanctioned the GAD (General Arrangement Drawing) of the project, giving its approval to railways to construct the ROB. "Earlier, there were plans to construct an underpass jointly by the railways and the public works department (PWD). But in the feasibility report, it was mentioned that an underpass is not viable. So, now it has been decided to construct a ROB instead," said an official. This would be the fifth means to cross the railway line within a stretch of around 4km between the Bais Godam and Bani Park Ram Mandir. Out of the remaining four, the Civil Lines flyover, the Ajmer Road Puliya and the Railway Station Puliya (connecting the ITC Rajputana Hotel and Jal Mahal Chouraha) are already operational. JDA is constructing the ROB at the Civil Lines Phatak. "The Hasanpura side of the railway junction is getting a major facelift. Once the renovation work is over, a huge footfall of passengers is expected on the Hasanpura side of the railway station. This proposed ROB can reduce traffic pressure on the Railway Station Puliya to a great extent," said a PWD official.

Autorickshaw rush at new Trichy bus terminus leaves drivers waiting for hours

Trichy: The newly commissioned Kalaignar Karunanidhi Bus Terminus (KKBT) in Panjapur is facing an unexpected problem — overcrowding by autorickshaws. Around 550 three-wheelers have flooded the premises, far exceeding demand and forcing many drivers to wait 5-6 hours for their first ride of the day. Instead of streamlining fares, the glut of autos and poor passenger demand have led to overcharging in some cases. While 250 autorickshaws from the Central Bus Terminus were allocated space at KKBT's front entrance, another 300 from nearby areas like E Pudur and Crawford were directed to the rear entrance. "Autorickshaw unions from across the city approach us daily for space at KKBT. Though we cannot deny them outright, the overcrowding is making business unsustainable," a senior corporation official said. Authorities have clarified that no auto stands will be permitted within the terminus itself. For now, drivers park in long queues outside both entrances. However, with the terminus well-connected by city buses to Central and Chathiram bus stands, many solo travellers and low-income passengers prefer public transport. Families often disembark at stops like Mannarpuram or TVS Tollgate to reach the city core, further reducing demand for autos at Panjapur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo "I waited six hours for my first ride today. Many inexperienced drivers have also taken slots here and are overcharging passengers," said R Murugesan, an AITUC-backed auto driver. The queue system further delays subsequent rides, prompting some drivers to overcharge by ₹100-₹150 just to make ends meet. Fares to places like the airport or Srirangam can touch ₹600-₹700, depending on passenger urgency. "The district administration should introduce pre-booked auto services through apps or counters to regulate fares. Unscrupulous drivers could tarnish the reputation of the new terminus," warned consumer rights activist H Ghouse Baig. Authorities expect that some autos may leave the terminus voluntarily as poor demand persists. Meanwhile, RTO officials said no formal complaints about fare fleecing have been received so far.

Who is Golfer Scheffler? 2025 Open Champion and Texas Rangers fan on track to hit $100 million in PGA Tour earnings

Scottie Scheffler has firmly cemented his legacy as one of golf's modern greats. The 29-year-old, currently ranked world number one, clinched his fourth major title and third leg of the career Grand Slam on Sunday, July 20, winning the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush by four strokes. Scheffler carded a final-round 68 to finish at 17-under 267. The win adds to his dominant year, having already secured the 2025 PGA Championship by five shots. With victories at The Masters (2022, 2024), the PGA, and now The Open, he only lacks the US Open to complete the coveted Grand Slam.

Home Fitness Hack Shop Now Undo He joins Tiger Woods and Ben Hogan as the only golfers to win multiple majors by four or more strokes in a single year. Since February 2022, Scheffler has collected 20 global victories. Live Events Who is Scottie Scheffler? Scheffler was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on June 21, 1996. His family moved to Dallas after 9/11, where his golf journey began. His father, a carpenter-turned-stay-at-home dad, and his mother, a law firm executive, supported his early passion. By age nine, Scheffler was challenging pros at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. He went on to dominate the Northern Texas junior circuit, winning 90 out of 136 tournaments. He also clinched the 2013 US Junior Amateur and was ranked the No. 1 junior golfer in 2014. He played college golf for the Texas Longhorns and was named the 2015 Phil Mickelson Freshman of the Year. Despite battling back injuries, he qualified for the US Open twice as an amateur and finished as the low amateur in 2017. Personal life Scheffler married his high school sweetheart, Meredith Scudder, in 2020. They had their first child, Bennett, in 2024 and live in Dallas. Scheffler is open about his Christian faith and attends Park Cities Presbyterian Church. He often studies the Bible with his caddie, Ted Scott. The golfer is also active in philanthropy. He supports the Triumph Over Kid Cancer Foundation, which honors a childhood friend who passed away. In 2024, he auctioned off his car to raise funds for the cause. Scheffler has built a clean, disciplined public image. He made headlines in May 2024 after being briefly arrested before the PGA Championship, but all charges were later dropped. Authorities confirmed it was a misunderstanding. A fan of the Dallas Stars and the Texas Rangers Away from golf, he is a fan of the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers. He even threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Rangers game in 2022, wearing his Masters green jacket. Scheffler also appeared in the Netflix sports documentary Full Swing and made a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. In 2023, he became a co-owner of a pickleball team, the Texas Ranchers. With three legs of the Grand Slam secured and unmatched form, Scottie Scheffler now eyes the U.S. Open to complete the rarest achievement in golf. For his peers, like Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele, the message is clear: Scheffler is the standard they are chasing. 'His bad shots are really good,' said fellow golfer Shane Lowry. 'That's when you know he's special.' How much prize money has Scottie Scheffler earned in 2025? Scheffler's jaw-dropping 2025 haul stands at $19.2 million in prize money alone, following his Open Championship win at Royal Portrush. While that figure is shy of his record-setting $62.2 million in 2024, it still places him far ahead of most of his peers this season. The Texan's career earnings on the PGA Tour have now soared to nearly $88 million, making him the third-highest earner of all time, behind only Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. At his current pace, Scheffler is on track to break the $100 million mark by mid-2026, joining an elite club that speaks volumes about his consistency, dominance, and staying power in the modern era of golf.
