Panchayat and assembly elections: ‘No road, no vote'- Amethi villagers to hold protest
Amethi: To highlight their long-pending demand for better roads, residents of Nuwawa village here staged a protest by putting up a banner reading 'no road, no vote'. Due to a lack of action on the matter, the villagers threatened a boycott of the upcoming panchayat and assembly elections. Amit Mishra, who led the protest, said despite over 70 years of Independence, Nuwawa village remains deprived of basic development. 'There is no proper road. During monsoon, the village gets waterlogged, and it becomes difficult to step out of our homes. We've repeatedly raised the issue with public representatives and officials, but no action has been taken,' he said. As a result, the villagers have now decided to boycott the upcoming panchayat and assembly elections, he added. Sub-divisional magistrate Ashish Singh confirmed that people in Nuwawa village in Amethi tehsil staged a protest and put up a banned that read 'no road, no vote'. 'It is not that there was no road earlier. A road was built, but it has deteriorated. We have received complaints regarding this. The block development officer of Amethi has been directed to take action, and the issue will be resolved soon,' Singh said. Panchayat polls are scheduled next year in the state and the state assembly elections in 2027.

Opening of Heerapura bus terminal may be delayed by a month
1 2 Jaipur: Although the state govt plans to start operations from the Heerapura bus terminal in Aug, it seems it will take at least another month to make this terminal operational. On Tuesday, when Team TOI visited the bus terminal, it was found that the Rajasthan State Bus Terminal Development Authority (RSBTDA) is yet to construct roads inside the terminal leading to the bus bays and parking bays from the exit and entry gates. However, work on the bus shed inside the terminal is almost complete, as workers were constructing the last few of the 16-odd bus bays and were erecting the benches and the ticket counters. RSBTDA officials said there were several decisions by the state govt centring on this bus terminal in the last year. Finally, the govt asked the authority to complete the remaining jobs in early April. "The JDA is doing the construction work. We are sorting a few issues with the National Highways Development Authroity of India (NHAI), while the RTO is in talks with the operators. The works are going on at full pace. We are trying to make this terminal ready for operations as soon as possible," stated Shubhra Singh, the chairperson of RSBTDC. Although there is sufficient space for the long-distance buses to take a U-turn from the underpass of the Kamla Nehru Nagar flyover and reach this bus terminal, locals are apprehensive about a bottleneck on the service lane. The vehicles for last-mile connectivity, including JCTSL and minibuses, will have to travel at least five to six kilometre through these lanes to reach the underpass of the Bhankrota flyover. "There is a cut right within 100 metres from the exit gate of the bus terminal for buses to climb the Ajmer-bound flank of the Ajmer Expressway But vehicles travelling towards Jaipur from this terminal must take a U-turn from the underpass of the next Bhankrota flyover. There's no cut on the highway before the Bhankrota flyover. It means these vehicles would travel to the underpass of the Bhankrota flyover through the already congested side lane," said Amit Mishra, a local resident. NHAI said, the state govt would decide on how the traffic would flow in and out of this terminal. "There are three different bays, each of four lanes, to allow traffic movement in these three directions through the underpass of the newly constructed Bhankrota flyover. The rest remains on the traffic and transport department, whether they want to allow Jaipur-bound traffic through the service lanes or through the main flank (Ajmer-bound) of the Expressway," a NHAI official added.

Man claims IndiGo shut boarding gate in front of him, denies entry: ‘No effort to help a genuine passenger'
A Gurgaon-based passenger travelling from Delhi to Bagdogra has called out IndiGo Airlines after he was allegedly denied boarding for being just a minute late, despite standing at the gate while boarding was still ongoing. Amit Mishra shared his unsettling experience in a lengthy LinkedIn post. Mishra claimed that the incident not only cost him an important business trip but also resulted in financial losses. 'IndiGo Airlines – where's the accountability? I never thought missing a flight by 60 seconds — while the gate was still open — would end up canceling an entire business trip and cost me double for my next leg of travel,' he wrote. Mishra further claimed that he had checked in his luggage at 6:25 am for a 7:30 am flight. He then arrived at the boarding gate at 7.04 am, 26 minutes before the scheduled departure. However, he was not allowed to board. 'The gate was open, and passengers were ahead and behind me. But after three minutes of my requesting entry, the staff called DGCA personnel and shut the gate right in front of me,' he added. He further emphasised that the flight was preponed to 7.20 am without any SMS, email, or app notification. Despite the change, he still reached the gate 16 minutes before the new departure time. According to Mishra, the incident disrupted his entire itinerary. 'This cost me my Bagdogra–Hyderabad connection, my Gangtok meeting, and I had to rebook my Delhi–Hyderabad leg at double the cost,' he said, demanding both a refund and compensation. 'There was no attempt to help. No empathy. The process took priority over people,' he wrote. He also highlighted another issue with a later flight. His rebooked Delhi–Hyderabad leg was also rescheduled earlier, from 6.45 AM to 6.35 AM. However, boarding for that flight didn't even begin until 6.07 AM. 'Now tell me, how do the rules work? If we're late by minutes, we're offloaded. But when delays are from your side, there's no explanation or accountability,' he questioned. See here: IndiGo responded on LinkedIn, initially asking Mishra to share an alternate contact number and a convenient time for a callback, stating, 'Sir, we tried reaching out to you on your registered contact number; however, we were unable to establish a connection. Please share an alternate number along with a convenient time via DM so that we can connect with you. ~Team IndiGo.' 'Upon careful review, we would like to share that our team had kept the boarding gate open until the scheduled gate closing time to accommodate all customers. As per our records, unfortunately, you arrived at the gate after it had closed,' the airline added.
