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.

Glass finds at Vadnagar reflect its overseas links
Ahmedabad: Tiny beads, fragments of bangles, or other objects made of glass from Vadnagar in north Gujarat have shed light on the nature of the town's connections with far-flung places, ranging from China on one side to the Mediterranean Sea on the other. A team of researchers from India and the US studied the composition of the glass found from excavations and correlated it with known samples associated with specific regions of the world, placing the ancient town with over 2,000 years of continuous history on the trade map of ancient India. The study, 'Indian Ocean Connections and Regional Trade: An Elemental and Isotopic Study of the Glass of Vadnagar, Gujarat,' by Laure Dussubieux from the Field Museum in Chicago; Alok Kumar Kanungo from IIT Gandhinagar; Yadubir Singh Rawat from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI); and Pankaj Sharma from the Gujarat state directorate of archaeology and museums, was recently published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, an Elsevier publication.

Glass exchanges via the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea were likely bi-directional, with objects travelling east to Gujarat and also travelling west from the state to the Middle East or Egypt, as mentioned in the study. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Start planning your next adventure today Hotel Deals | Search Ads Browse Now Undo The researchers also found a type of glass believed to be produced in Gujarat, possibly for local demand. For the study, the researchers chose 47 representative samples from over 500 artefacts excavated from the site. These ranged from beads, decorative items, bangles, glass shards and tubes among others, indicating a wide range of glass objects. The researchers used modern techniques such as laser ablation and spectrometry to understand the composition of the glass. The glasses were divided into groups such as soda-rich, potash-rich, and contents of alumina and lime, among others. According to the study, the potash glass dates from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, whereas those with mineral soda flux and sand with variable proportions of lime and alumina date to the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD. The later samples with soda plant ash glass date to the 14th-15th centuries AD.

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.
