Rs 2,528 crore project: Cabinet approves 104-km freight corridor connecting Vadhavan Port with Mumbai-Nagpur E-way
The Maharashtra Cabinet on Tuesday gave its approval for the construction of a 104.8-kilometre high-speed freight corridor connecting the upcoming Vadhavan Port in Palghar district with Bharvir in Nashik district, linking it to the Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway, officially named the Hindu Hridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg. The corridor, proposed as a strategic infrastructure link under the state's rapid logistics expansion plan, is expected to save nearly 79 km in travel distance and reduce commute time between the port and the expressway from 4–5 hours to just 1–1.5 hours. The project will be developed by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). The Cabinet has approved a total outlay of Rs 2,528.90 crore, including a Rs 1,500 crore loan from HUDCO (Housing and Urban Development Corporation). The corridor is to be completed within three years. Currently, cargo from Vadhavan must travel via the Vadodara–Mumbai Expressway, covering around 183.48 km to reach the Samruddhi corridor via Bharvir–Amne. With the new expressway, the distance will be reduced to 104.898 km, saving 78.582 km, officials said. The proposed expressway will pass through Dahanu, Vikramgad, Jawhar and Mokhada in Palghar district, and Trimbakeshwar and Igatpuri in Nashik district, offering a direct, fast-moving logistics link between the state's western coast and central and eastern Maharashtra. The Vadhavan Transshipment Port, being developed under the Sagarmala initiative by Vadhavan Port Project Ltd, is expected to serve as a major international cargo hub. To complement this, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is currently constructing a 32-km highway from the port to Tawa on National Highway 48, which will integrate into the larger freight corridor. At present, heavy cargo vehicles must take a longer detour from Bharvir–Amne to reach the Vadodara–Mumbai Expressway, resulting in additional travel of nearly 82 km. The new corridor is expected to eliminate this inefficiency, enhancing fuel savings and turnaround times for goods transport. Officials said the corridor is being planned with future traffic volumes in mind. With anticipated high-volume freight movement from Vadhavan Port, particularly toward Vidarbha, Marathwada, and North Maharashtra, the expressway will play a vital role in decongesting existing routes and facilitating regional economic development. 'The expressway will benefit a wide range of stakeholders — from large and medium-scale industries to agricultural processing units, educational institutions, and IT parks in Palghar and Nashik. It will also help improve market access and generate local employment,' an MSRDC official said. The Cabinet meeting was chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who is overseeing major infrastructure and connectivity initiatives in the state. Officials noted that the new corridor will function as a key logistics backbone, enabling affordable, fast, and efficient cargo transport from India's western maritime gateway to its heartland.

How Pahalgam terrorist's reliance on technology sealed their fate
After the April 22 Pahalgam massacre, in which 26 civilians were gunned down, the three Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists responsible vanished into the unforgiving mountains of South Baisaran bloodbath triggered one of the biggest manhunts launched by security forces, with multiple teams spreading out from Baisaran, trekking deep into the wilderness — kilometre after kilometre — but to no avail. Given the challenging terrain, finding the three terrorists in the area was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The trio trekked for days, then weeks, and eventually months, disappearing deep into the Dachigam–Harwan forests — a remote stretch with almost no mobile network coverage, a dense canopy that blocks aerial sightlines, and a long history of providing refuge to security agencies, this was not just a manhunt — it was a race against terrain, technology, and time. Hopes began to fade despite multiple cordon-and-search operations launched to track down the perpetrators. But a glimmer of hope emerged from the satellite phone carried by the terrorists. The flickering signal was definitive proof that the trio was still in the Kashmir Valley and had not exfiltrated back to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). From the outset, the terrorists — Suleman Shah, Abu Hamza, and Yasir Jibran — ensured they stayed beyond the reach of conventional surveillance. They carried no regular mobile phones that could be traced through telecom towers. Instead, they used a Huawei satellite phone connected to the Inmarsat4 F1 network, allowing them to send encrypted messages directly to handlers in Pakistan without ever touching an Indian to high-level sources, 'On the slain terrorists' bodies were found three Motorola Android devices with the Alpine Quest navigation app installed — an offline app that provides access to detailed topographic maps.' This allowed them to navigate confidently through unfamiliar jungle terrain without relying on mobile data or GPS sources revealed that the app was used not just for navigation, but also to monitor the locations of security force installations — helping the terrorists maintain a safe distance from patrol zones. Radio communication was kept to a minimum, limited to short bursts, typically late at night, making early interception nearly first major breakthrough came in the third week of May, when the Intelligence Bureau and the Army's signal units managed to partially fix the location of the 'ultra set' — the satellite phone. Even this was a significant challenge. The dense forest canopy, high ridgelines, and deep valleys of Dachigam created natural blind spots that absorbed and deflected signals. Recognising the limitations, the Ministry of Home Affairs deployed three advanced RF surveillance devices capable of detecting faint radio frequencies in signal-shadow human intelligence inputs began to flow. The intelligence grid received credible tip-offs about the terrorists' movement inside Dachigam — information later confirmed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in a briefing to Parliament. Security personnel, equipped with indigenous RF scanners, began tracking fleeting pings from the satellite phone. With upgraded equipment on the ground, the signal hunt intensified. Triangulation from multiple elevated positions gradually narrowed the suspected hideout area to just six square kilometres — still dense forest, but now a manageable search this intelligence in hand, 24 Rashtriya Rifles, responsible for the region, assessed the need for enhanced firepower given the operational complexity. In consultation with the General Officer Commanding, 4 PARA was brought in to lead the strike. Concurrently, the intelligence unit activated one of its most trusted human assets to penetrate the jungle. The operative returned with vital last-mile intelligence, including specific details of the terrorists' movements and temporary this information reached the operations room, it took just 36 hours to close the July 25, the last satellite phone activity was logged. The cordon-and-search operation began shortly afterward. On July 28, deep inside the Dachigam–Harwan belt, contact was made. The firefight that ensued was brief but decisive. All three terrorists — Suleman Shah, Abu Hamza, and Yasir Jibran — were neutralised. According to sources, each was eliminated with precise headshots, with no more than five to six bullets used in the recoveries were the Huawei satellite phone, the Motorola devices with Alpine Quest, ropes, steel cups, wire cutters, and a camphor-like inflammable substance — all pointing to meticulous long-term jungle survival planning. The weapons seized — two AK47 rifles and one M4 carbine — were later forensically matched to shell casings recovered from the Baisaran massacre site, conclusively confirming that the men killed in Operation Mahadev were indeed the perpetrators of one of the year's most horrific terror attacks.- EndsTune InMust Watch
