NMC to deploy teams of ex-military men to curb littering, garbage burning
Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) is set to recruit 72 ex-servicemen to be deployed across the city's six divisions to tackle issues like littering, garbage burning, and use of banned plastics. Twelve teams with six ex-military men each are to be set up for NMC's six divisions. The teams will impose monetary fines on people indulging in littering, garbage burning and spitting. Even those not segregating waste at source and putting up illegal hoardings and banners will also be penalised. The civic body has already decided on the amount of fines for different violations, besides putting out an advertisement for the appointment of ex-military men for this purpose. The selected ex-military men are to be appointed on an honorarium basis. NMC plans to pay their honorarium through the amount collected from fines. NMC's general body recently gave its approval to the proposal of the civic administration to deploy ex-military men to take monetary action against erring people in the city. "The squads will impose a fine of Rs 10,000 each if any resident is found littering in public places, while those burning garbage, plastics or rubber in the open will be fined Rs 5,000 each. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 BHKs starts at ₹ 72.6 Lakh | No Floor rise | Zero PLC Mahindra Happinest Tathawade Get Quote Undo A fine of Rs 25,000 will be imposed on people burning garbage on a large scale," an official said. If construction and demolition waste is disposed of along roads, a fine of Rs 5,000 will be imposed on the person concerned. "The civic body has also decided to take action against residents who do not segregate waste at source. It is mandatory for residents to segregate waste as dry and wet before handing it over to the garbage vans of the municipal corporation. However, most residents do not segregate the waste. Hence, a fine of Rs 300 will be imposed for the first offence, and if it continues, a fine of Rs 500 will be imposed for the second offence," the official said.

Speaker awards dad-daughter duo for saving tiger
1 2 Ranchi: The state govt on Friday awarded father-daughter duo Purandar Mahto and Sonika Kumari who played a brave role in rescuing a six-year-old tiger, which sneaked into their bedroom of their house at Silli in June. The incident was also a test of nerves for the forest department to ensure safety of both the big cat and common people. Soon after they discovered the tiger in Mahto's room, they duo locked it and ran out. Later, a team of Palamu Tiger Reserve rescued the tiger during operation which lasted for hours.

Shahid Khudiram grunts under terminal Kavi Subhash's load
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: The Shahid Khudiram Metro station has unexpectedly become prominent as the new southern terminus of the North-South corridor (Blue Line), following recent developments. Despite its new status and the transfer of additional Metro staff, it is still ill-equipped for its enhanced role, according to stationed personnel. For instance, the station operates with only three security guards, with one now indisposed. The remaining two must manage multiple responsibilities, including passenger guidance, assistance with smart card machines, QR-coded ticket verification, and providing transport information. The morning shift runs from 6 am to 2.30 pm, followed by a gap till 4 pm when the next guard's shift begins, ending at midnight. During the interim period, a sweeper temporarily assumes security duties. Compared to Kavi Subhash's six booking counters, three windows are now functioning during peak hours at Shahid Khudiram, reducing to two during quieter periods. "We need more staff to handle passenger rush," a Metro employee said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle, Needle-Free Way to Monitor Blood Sugar—Now Being Tried by Seniors Zakdavi The station superintendent was unavailable for comment since he was at Kazi Nazrul station in Garia Bazar.

The Blue Line, stretching 32 km from Kavi Subhash to Dakshineswar along the city's north-south axis, has been essential to Kolkata's transport system since its inception in Oct 1984, with subsequent expansions. The elevated Shahid Khudiram station began operations alongside Kavi Subhash terminal on Mahalaya on October 7, 2010, marking the Blue Line's final southern extension, which now serves approximately 6 lakh passengers daily. Earlier, while Kavi Subhash station recorded 22,000-25,000 daily visitors, Shahid Khudiram station saw a modest footfall of less than 10,000. Over the last three days, its footfall has increased to around 20,000 during peak hours. "People were barely aware of this station close to Dhalai Bridge in Garia. Many of my colleagues didn't even know that it has been named after freedom fighter Khudiram Bose. For riders, it was just one of the stations. It has suddenly become crucial for Metro commuters," said Sudakshina Sen, a govt schoolteacher and Sonarpur resident, who takes the Metro to travel to her workplace in Hazra.
