This Mumbai Area Only Wants ‘Rich With Class': No ‘Nuisance' Bollywood, No Club For Jhunjhunwala
Societies in Pedder Road do not welcome Bollywood celebrities, as they believe famous people could be a nuisance. Mumbai is known as the city of dreams because many people come here for a better life. But some places in the city are still out of reach for many, even for locals, because living there is very expensive. One such area is Pedder Road, where many societies do not welcome Bollywood celebrities, as they believe famous people could be a 'nuisance." Journalist Vishal Bhargava explained that the area is mostly for the very rich, but not for celebrities, who face unofficial barriers when trying to buy a house. While appearing on the latest episode of Mumbai, Munch and Market with Chintan Vasani️ on Instagram, Bhargava said, 'Pedder Road, you have the rich and the super rich. In one building where the TATA chairman stays, next to that is Antilia, where Mukesh Ambani stays. So Bandra has celebrities, here celebrities struggle to buy a home. Many societies don't want Bollywood actors. They think of them as a nuisance. So if any Bollywood actor decides to buy a home here, many societies place informal restrictions on actors." 'So there are two or three big clubs. The most famous club is the Willingdon Club. They do not like Bollywood actors, but do not like anybody who they think is not sophisticated and refined. So, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, the billionaire stock investor, tried to get membership into the Willington club three times, all three times they rejected him. So it's not that you have money, it's that money is not enough in Peddar Road, you need to have something more than money. The rich and famous can be a disqualification, rich and super rich give you a chance, but rich and sophisticated have better odds than rich and famous good one," Vishal Bhargava added. Pedder Road History: According to an X Page, 'Peddar Road is named after Mr. W. G. Pedder, Municipal Commissioner of Bombay in 1879. He was in the Bombay Civil Service from 1855-1879." Peddar Road is named after Mr. W. G. Pedder, Municipal Commissioner of #Bombay in was in Bombay Civil Service from 1855-1879 #Mumbai — Mumbai Heritage (@mumbaiheritage) October 17, 2013 Although most people still call it Pedder Road, the road now has a sign that says Dr Gopalrao Deshmukh Marg, the founder of the Indian Medical Association and the first mayor of Bombay after Independence.

Biker dies on the spot after truck rams two-wheeler in Thane
THANE: A loaded truck crashed into a motorcycle near Kopri bridge in Thane in the early hours on Thursday, causing severe head injuries to the bike rider and killing him on the spot. The deceased worked as a salesperson and was due to return to his native village in north India on June 1, his acquaintances said. According to the police, the accident took place near the skywalk adjacent to the gurudwara on Mumbai-Nashik road, under the jurisdiction of Naupada police station. Around 1am on Thursday, a TATA truck (registration number GJ 12 BZ 9410) carrying 35 tonnes of chemical powder from Bhuj to Kolhapur allegedly rammed into a Honda Shine bike (registration number MH 04 JA 9535) from behind. The truck driver fled from the spot after the accident, leaving the vehicle behind. While the bike was registered in the name of Taslim Ansari, police confirmed that he was not the deceased. A person named Khursheed, believed to be Ansari's brother's colleague, was riding the bike at the time, said police. 'The victim was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which resulted in his instant death due to severe head injuries,' said a police officer. Responders from the disaster management cell, Naupada police and the traffic department reached the spot swiftly and sent the body to the Thane District Government Hospital for legal and medical formalities, the officer said. Traffic police officer Abhijeet Bhat said they had identified the truck driver involved in the accident and efforts were being made to locate and nab him. 'A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,' said Bhat. The mishap caused a traffic snarl for about 30 minutes till both vehicles were removed and the road was cleared, said police. Forensic examination of both vehicles was underway, the police added. A close acquaintance of the deceased said he was the only breadwinner in his family and was supposed to return home on June 1. 'The tragedy has devastated the family,' the person said, requesting anonymity.

Centre approves development of AMCA prototype with rollout target of 2031. HAL to bid with private firms
The decision has been taken by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as part of plans to enhance India's indigenous defence capabilities and foster a robust domestic aerospace industrial ecosystem. New Delhi: In a significant development, the Narendra Modi government has approved the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme execution model, under which the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will have to bid, along with private firms, to bag the contract. 'The Execution Model approach provides equal opportunities to both private and public sectors on a competitive basis. They can bid either independently or as joint ventures or as consortia,' read a statement released by the defence ministry. 'The entity/bidder should be an Indian company compliant with the laws and regulations of the country.' This means that no one entity will be considered as a natural choice and everyone will have to bid to win the contract, sources in the defence establishment told ThePrint. This implies that HAL, which has been the only entity in India to manufacture fighter planes, will have to compete against private companies, like TATA, Adani, L&T and other interested players to bag the contract to build the prototype. Sources further explained that HAL can bid as a single entity, or even as a consortium with private players. Private players can also bid as single entities, or as consortia of private players, or with HAL. This goes against the current practice, where HAL would have been the natural choice as the production agency, which would have then tied up with private players for manufacturing components and parts. 'ADA will shortly issue an Expression of Interest (EoI) for the AMCA Development Phase,' the defence ministry statement said. Sources said according to the timeline decided, the first prototype of India's own fifth-generation fighter is set to be rolled out by 2031, and the series production is slated to start by 2035. 'We have fixed a 10-year timeline, starting today. After the first prototype is developed, we will go in for series production, which should commence by 2035,' a source explained. The idea is for the ADA to select the best possible partner to speed up the development and production rather than depend on any one entity, sources added. There has been a lot of criticism against HAL for the tardy progress in the development and production of the Tejas fighter programme. 'For the first time, you have a private player like TATA, which has tied up with Airbus to manufacture military transport aircraft C295 in India. The private companies are supplying components for international fighters. Now, they can bid for the AMCA programme too,' said the source quoted above. The development comes amid reports that China is expediting delivery of its fifth-generation fighter—J-35A—to Pakistan, which will widen the capability gap with the Indian Air Force (IAF). While in terms of pure numbers, the IAF has more fighters, Pakistan has a higher mix of 4.5-generation fighter jets. China also unveiled what are being claimed to be two sixth-generation fighter jets—Chengdu J-36 and Shenyang J-50—last December. Sources declined to comment on whether India will go in for limited purchase of fifth-generation fighters, like the F-35 of the US, which is yet to be formally offered. They said that India is currently pushing ahead with the AMCA programme, and that is what is on the cards.
