Netizens Angry As Gaurav Khanna Becomes Bigg Boss 19 Winner
The celebration of Gaurav’s win did not last long on social media as online users began calling him the fixed winner. Many viewers claimed the result felt scripted.
Read some user comments below:
“Fixed winner! Can Salman Khan explain what his contribution was to the show? Amaal and Farhana were more involved than GK!! Not watching this biased show again.”
“The most undeserving winner in the history of BB …Even mc stan did better.”
“Damn, like always decided winner.”
“Worst winner.. Kuch kiya nahi show me aur Jeet gaye wah bhai wah.”
“Second most undeserving winner after Stan lol.”
“He literally did nothing in the show.”
“Lo dekh lo ye scripted show.”
“Not MC stan, this one is the worst winner of all time… totally rigged.”
“I’m done with this crap show, they have just used Farhana for trp, and as always made the winner according to biasedness it is just so bullshitt”
Gaurav’s Journey In BB 19
Despite the criticism, Gaurav’s fans defended him. They said he played with dignity and patience. He stayed away from fights and refused to use harsh language.
At the recent press conference before finale, Gaurav addressed his strategy. He said, “No Bigg Boss winner has ever created or gotten involved in unnecessary arguments. It’s not necessary to use abusive language; previous winners haven’t done that. If I win this show with support and love from the audience, it will be an inspiration that, without verbally abusing or taking a wrong stand, one can become a winner on a show called Bigg Boss.”
Salman Khan also praised Gaurav for his calm gameplay. In one weekend episode, Salman said he would like to work with him in the future. The moment became one of the most talked-about highlights of the season.

Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale: After Ashneer Grover’s Rise And Fall, Pawan Singh Graces Salman Khan’s Show, Is He The Actual TRP King?
Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale came packed with surprises, celebrity moments and unexpected entries. One appearance that instantly grabbed attention was Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh. His arrival on the finale stage was after his much-talked-about stint on Rise and Fall (hosted by Ashneer Grover). This sparked a fresh debate on whether Pawan Singh is the real TRP king.
Pawan Singh Graces Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale
Pawan brought his Bhojpuri power the moment he stepped into the finale. He walked up to Salman Khan and asked if he could call him “Bhaiyaa,” which left everyone smiling. He even asked Shehbaaz to translate his Bhojpuri lines into English. Pawan also took a moment to show support for contestant Neelam Giri.
The makers later shared a video where Salman Khan gave Pawan a grand welcome. Soon after, Neelam Giri joined them on stage. The trio broke into a fun performance on the Bhojpuri hit “Rajaji ke dilwa.”
Reacting to the video, one user wrote, “Wow Neelam’s dance was the best.” Another commented, “Bas kar.”
Grand Finale night aur Pawan Singh ka swag is a perfect combo! Be ready to watch.

Is Pawan Singh The Actual TRP King?
This question has been floating around ever since his appearance on Rise and Fall. On that show, many viewers called him the “TRP king.” His episodes often created strong engagement online due to his bold personality, massive fan base and the controversies attached to his name.
Bringing him to the Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale was clearly a calculated move. Makers knew he could add extra buzz to one of the biggest episodes of the year. His interactions, dance and humour all contributed to the chatter on social media.
But along with fame came controversy. Reports surfaced just some time before the finale that Pawan Singh received a threat call from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, allegedly warning him not to share the stage with Salman Khan. The news spread quickly and only added more attention to his appearance. As always, controversies tend to pull even more viewers in.
So, is he the real TRP magnet? In many ways, yes. Pawan Singh has the rare ability to create headlines, spark debates and command eyeballs. That is exactly what reality shows look for. But he’s not alone. High-profile or controversial guests have always boosted TRP for Bigg Boss. Names like Sunny Leone, Rakhi Sawant, Karan Kundrra and even Ashneer Grover have done the same in the past. Pawan Singh simply continues that pattern and Bigg Boss is never one to miss such an opportunity.
Apart from Pawan, Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday also appeared on the finale to promote their film Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri. Karan Kundrra and Sunny Leone also promoted the next season of Splitsvilla on the show.
Namo Bharat Train Gets Approval to Run Till Sarai Kale Khan, CMRS Clears Operations
The Delhi–Meerut Namo Bharat train is now ready to operate beyond New Ashok Nagar, crossing the Yamuna and reaching Sarai Kale Khan. After successful trial runs, the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) has granted approval for operations on this extended stretch. According to sources, passenger services are expected to begin within December itself.
Second Major Multimodal Transit Hub
With this extension, Sarai Kale Khan will become the second multimodal transit hub on the corridor after Anand Vihar. The hub will integrate railways, metro services, ISBT buses, and the Namo Bharat train at one location, offering seamless travel options for thousands of daily commuters. The next station after Sarai Kale Khan will be Jangpura, where construction work is still underway.
For Delhi–NCR residents, especially office-goers traveling between Noida, Ghaziabad, and Delhi, this extension brings significant relief. The RRTS aims to cut travel time drastically—reducing long daily commutes to minutes. The Sarai Kale Khan station will also offer improved last-mile connectivity with e-buses, autos, taxis, and shared mobility options.
Strengthening Regional Transport Vision
Officials from the NCRTC said the extension is a step toward the broader vision of creating a high-speed, interconnected regional network. As the remaining portions of the corridor become operational, NCR residents can expect faster, cleaner, and more efficient public transport options.
When Will Service Start?
The new 5-km stretch between New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan is fully ready, and safety clearances are complete. Internal sources suggest that operations could start in the last week of December, marking a major boost to Delhi–NCR’s high-speed regional connectivity.
Boost to NCR Mobility
The extension is expected to significantly reduce travel time and ease congestion for commuters heading toward central Delhi. Once operational, it will strengthen last-mile connectivity and provide faster access to workplaces, educational hubs, and transit stations.
Noida International Airport: LDA Confirms Inauguration Delayed as Aerodrome Licence Still Pending
The inauguration of the Noida International Airport, Jewar, has been postponed after the aerodrome licence could not be issued on time. Preparations underway at the airport site have now come to a complete halt. On Saturday, the event management company began dismantling tents and other structures set up for the proposed ceremony.
During a recent public programme, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath indicated that the airport may become operational within the next two months, suggesting that the government is expecting pending approvals soon.
Noida International Airport: Security Clearance Yet to Be Issued
According to officials, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has not granted the mandatory security clearance required for DGCA to issue the aerodrome licence.
Due to the absence of this licence, the Prime Minister’s Office has not been able to finalise the inauguration date, resulting in the indefinite postponement of the ceremony.
Ten Days of Preparations Come to a Standstill
For nearly ten days, extensive arrangements were underway at the airport site—ranging from German hangar setup, main stage construction, chairs, sofas and carpeting. Police, administration, and various departments were also preparing for the Prime Minister’s expected rally.
However, preparations were paused on Friday evening. By Saturday, the event management team officially began removing all equipment from the venue.
CM Yogi’s Assurance
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while referencing the project during an event, said that the inauguration of India’s largest upcoming airport will take place soon, signalling confidence that all regulatory approvals will be cleared shortly.
Algorithms Are the New Editors. Democracies Are the New Victims.
“The feed is no longer a mirror of society — it is a persuasion machine.”
“India is now one of the world’s biggest battlegrounds for digital free speech.”
For years, the internet was celebrated as the world’s most democratic invention — a global town square where every citizen could speak, organise and influence. That optimism has collapsed. Today, the battle for free speech is no longer about who may speak; it is about who gets to be heard. And that decision lies not with courts or parliaments, but with private algorithms operating inside opaque rooms of global platforms.
The first truth of the digital age is stark: free speech is not the same as free reach. A post may survive online but be silently throttled, demoted or buried. A video may not be taken down but may become invisible. Visibility, not censorship, is now the real instrument of power. Every citizen today speaks into a system that constantly decides — through code — whether their words deserve oxygen.
This immense influence rests with platforms that still claim neutrality. They are not neutral. Their moderation systems, once designed to fight spam, now function as ideological filters. Three forces define this new landscape: moderation, manipulation and the collapse of neutrality.
Moderation has evolved from a technical function into a political one. Platforms deploy reactive moderation (after complaints), proactive moderation (AI scanning every post before it appears), and algorithmic moderation (ranking, burying or boosting content). One minor policy change can wipe out a creator’s livelihood or distort a public conversation. Most users have no idea how engineered their worldview has become.
Manipulation is the second force — and perhaps the more dangerous one. Outrage is profitable. Conflict retains attention. Anger drives engagement. The feed is not a reflection of public sentiment; it is a persuasion machine optimised for platform economics. Governments, political parties and interest groups exploit this architecture to push narratives, suppress criticism or influence elections. Meanwhile, AI-personalised feeds create customised political realities for every citizen.
This leads to the third force: the death of platform neutrality. BigTech companies can no longer pretend they are mere conduits of information. They are now the world’s most powerful editors — but editors without accountability, transparency or a public mandate.
India is at the centre of this global battle. The Intermediary Rules (2021/2023) require platforms to comply swiftly with takedown orders and enable message traceability. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act creates a new privacy regime but grants wide exemptions to the state. Deepfakes are exploding, especially during elections, and India still lacks a dedicated law to combat them.
Meanwhile, courts are becoming digital referees, hearing petitions on takedowns, account suspensions and online speech almost weekly. India’s decisions will shape global norms, especially as other democracies watch how the world’s largest digital public sphere balances rights, regulation and platform power.
Internationally, the picture is fractured. The United States protects speech aggressively; the European Union enforces strict content moderation; China maintains complete state control; and India is moving towards a hybrid regulatory model. The world is no longer governed by one free speech norm — it is now a patchwork.
The new battle for free speech is being fought inside recommendation engines, not rallies. Democracies must confront a hard truth: the public square now belongs to private companies, whose incentives are commercial, not constitutional.
If democratic expression is to survive meaningfully in the digital age, the world needs a new social contract — one built on algorithmic transparency, platform accountability and empowered citizens. Until that happens, algorithms will decide the truth, and democracies will bear the consequences.

Host Teases Malti Chahar And Others, Gaurav Khanna And Farhana Bhatt Are Top 2 Finalists
The host also playfully teased other contestants. He told Malti Chahar, “Mic cheeno,” when she avoided naming someone she thought deserved to be a finalist. He joked about Pranit More, suggesting they go on a coffee date after the finale. Salman also called out Baseer Ali for poking fun at the show and Nehal Chudassama. He reminded everyone that he still needed the show, which is why he returned for the finale.
Meanwhile, Gaurav Khanna and Farhana Bhatt were the top two finalists. Fans eagerly waited to see who would lift the trophy and become the winner of Bigg Boss 19.
Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale: ‘Hated Him Since Day 1 But…’ Netizens SHOCKED As Amaal Mallik Becomes First One To Get Out Of Final Race
Bigg Boss 19 grand finale has dropped its first surprise, and the internet is already in chaos. Hours before the telecast, reports revealed that Amaal Mallik was the first finalist to get evicted. This placed him in fifth spot. His exit from the race for the trophy sparked mixed reactions from viewers who stayed glued to his unpredictable and emotional journey throughout the season.
Amaal entered the show with a strong personality. He expressed his feelings openly, but was also seen as someone hiding secrets. He lied about several things, including meeting Malti Chahar before the show. His controversial behaviour and love angle with Tanya Mittal kept him in the spotlight.
Despite the drama inside the house, Amaal was considered a strong contender for the trophy. Fans also felt that the makers were always favouring him.
His close friend Shehbaz Badesha openly supported him after his own eviction and asked fans to vote for Amaal. Shehnaaz Gill also praised their bond. But the final outcome shocked many.
Bigg Boss 19 Grand Finale: Amaal Mallik Evicted First
Film Window first reported the news, and the update page BBTak confirmed it and revealed that “Amaal Mallik has been EVICTED from the FINALE RACE. He finished at no. 5 position.”
Some fans were surprised he left before Tanya Mittal. Others felt the result was expected. Read some online user reactions below:
Read some online user comments below:
“In the end, he was not even visible in the episodes. It seemed he might not win, but 5th??? Even Tanya above him….can’t believe this. “
“Omg! I didn’t expect that. That’s shocking. I thought he would be at 3.”
“Hona hi tha puri season sote sote nikal di thi..this is y daboo malik was irritated.”
“Hated him since day one, but he deserves to be in the top 3.”
“Image clean karne aaya tha Kaam ho gaya. Kaunsa Trophy chahiye thi usko.”
“Votes hi na aa Rahe the hona hi tha.”
“Bigg boss carried him till here….. Not Surprising.”
“Ahan Tak bhi BB ki wajah se aaya tha.”
Did Amaal Deserve To Win the Show?
A big section of the audience believed Amaal didn’t deserve to win because of his actions inside the house. Many pointed out that he often used sharp, below-the-belt remarks and was involved in back-biting. One of the most criticised moments was when he reportedly snatched a food plate from Farhana Bhatt and threw it away. The clip went viral, and viewers called it “inhumane.”
Some fans also highlighted that he used dirty language in fights, which even Salman Khan addressed on the weekend episodes.
Other contestants like Zeishan, Malti, Nehal and former winner Gauahar Khan even called him “dogla.” Because of these incidents, many felt he lacked the balance, respect and emotional maturity expected from a winner.
However, Amaal did create genuine moments too. During the finale shoot, he performed “Hello Brother” with Shehbaz Badesham, which will be aired in the episode.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Meets Indian Community in Seoul, Urges Support to Bring NRI Entrepreneurs Back Home
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met representatives of the Indian community in Seoul, South Korea, where a significant number of attendees were of Punjabi origin. The meeting was part of his continued efforts to strengthen Punjab’s global outreach and connect with NRIs settled across the world.
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Meets Indian Community in Seoul
During the interaction, Mann briefed the community about the Punjab government’s pro-people, transparent, and development-focused policies. He highlighted reforms in sectors such as industry, agriculture, MSMEs, education, and health, which are aimed at making Punjab a competitive and investor-friendly state. He also noted that the government is simplifying processes for businesses and ensuring fast clearances to attract new investments.
Urges Support to Bring NRI Entrepreneurs Back Home
The Chief Minister urged the diaspora to play an active role in helping Punjab grow by encouraging entrepreneurs who had moved abroad to consider returning and re-establishing their ventures in the state. He said the government is offering a stable ecosystem, modern infrastructure, and strong support systems to ensure that returning investors face no hardship.
Mann emphasised that NRIs are Punjab’s “global ambassadors” and have always contributed financially, socially, and culturally to the state’s progress. He said their expertise and global connections can help Punjab compete on the international stage.
The Chief Minister also assured the community that the state government is committed to protecting the interests of NRIs. Dedicated grievance redressal mechanisms and NRI-friendly policies are being strengthened to address issues related to property disputes, safety, and investments.
The Seoul meet is the latest in a series of international engagements by the Punjab government aimed at attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and building long-term partnerships. Mann said such interactions would open doors for technology exchange, joint ventures, and skill development opportunities for Punjab’s youth.
He concluded by inviting NRIs to visit Punjab, witness the transformation underway, and become partners in the state’s journey toward a more prosperous and modern future.
Mann government’s initiative brings joy to farmers, canal water reaches fields after decades! Record-breaking impact of irrigation transformation seen
Punjab farmers are witnessing a new dawn today. This change has come not from a mere announcement, but from on-the-ground action that has forever transformed the state’s irrigation system. Thanks to the visionary initiatives of the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, canal water now reaches almost every farm in Punjab, a dream that had remained unfulfilled for decades.
It is nothing short of miraculous that in Punjab, where only 68% of farms once received canal water, this figure has now increased to an impressive 84%. This achievement is a direct result of the 14-point program implemented under the ‘Integrated Provincial Water Scheme’. The government has not only restored 15,914 waterways but also ensured water flow back into 916 canals and minors, bringing water to even the most remote areas of the state.
The biggest hallmark of this transformation is underground pipelines. To prevent water wastage and deliver it directly to the fields, the government has laid 2,400 kilometers of underground pipelines, providing new irrigation facilities to 30,282 hectares of land.
The enthusiasm for this initiative is clearly visible among the farmers of the Sri Anandpur Sahib constituency. When these farmers saw canal water reaching their fields through pipelines for the first time, their joy knew no bounds. This water has become not just a means of irrigation for them, but a ray of hope for life in an area that had been dry for 35-40 years. The emotional farmers immediately thanked Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and local MLA Harjot Singh Bains. This smile on the farmers’ faces is a true story of the Mann government’s success.
The Mann government hasn’t stopped at just providing water. Major steps have also been taken to promote water conservation and modern farming. Punjab, which faced a groundwater crisis, is now receiving 300 million liters per day (MLD) of treated water through 28 projects. Farmers are also receiving 90% group and 50% individual subsidies for modern irrigation systems like drip and sprinkler irrigation. Furthermore, 160 water harvesting structures and solar-lift irrigation schemes have been implemented in the Kandi region and 125 villages.
Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has clarified that this is not just about water management, but a vision to provide water to every farm. His policies have established Punjab as a model state for irrigation and sustainable agriculture, where farmers can expect higher yields and a better standard of living.
Over 2,000 Flights Cancelled Across India: Chaos at Airports, Anurag Dhanda Slams Central Government
For the past several days, several major airports across India have been witnessing massive chaos. More than 2,000 flights have been cancelled in the last five days, leaving thousands of passengers stranded for hours inside terminals. Many complained about long queues, lack of information, and shortage of basic facilities as the disruption hit travel plans nationwide.
Anurag Dhanda Targets Centre Over Crisis
Amid the uproar, AAP’s National Media Incharge Anurag Dhanda strongly criticised the Central Government. Taking to X, he wrote:
“The Government of India has surrendered before one company.
The truth behind the slogan of letting even the ‘chappal-wearing common man’ fly is now exposed.Modi government has put the lives of air travellers at risk.
How long will this government continue to play with people’s safety just to favour its businessman friends?”
Dhanda’s sharp statement has gone viral as passengers continue to express frustration across social media.
DGCA Rolls Back Decision Amid Rising Chaos
With the situation worsening at Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and other airports, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) was forced to roll back its earlier order to ease the pressure and bring operations back on track.
IndiGo Issues Update: Operations Returning to Normal
IndiGo, India’s largest airline, released a detailed update, assuring that operations are gradually stabilising.
The airline said:
“Due to recent disruptions across our network, we had cancelled a large number of flights.
Yesterday, we operated 700+ flights connecting 113 destinations, mainly to restore systems and crew rosters.Today, we are on track to operate 1,500+ flights by the end of the day.”
IndiGo also confirmed that over 95% of its network connectivity has already been restored, with 135 out of 138 destinations now operational.
Passengers Advised to Check Updates
Airlines have advised travellers to check live flight status before heading to the airport, as minor route adjustments may continue for the next 24–48 hours.

During the meeting, he outlined the Government of Punjab’s vision to foster deeper economic and technological collaboration, particularly in high potential sectors such as food processing, agri-tech, renewable energy, manufacturing, defence, aerospace, and urban infrastructure. Bhagwant Singh Mann also highlighted Punjab’s evolving industrial ecosystem, progressive policies, and competitive advantages that position the state as a strategic gateway to North India.
On Monday, the Punjab delegation will embark on a packed day of high-level engagements, beginning with meetings with major Korean companies, including Daewoo E&C, GS E&C, and Nongshim, to explore opportunities in construction engineering, infrastructure development, and advanced food processing.

IndiGo: Airline Pilots Blame Top Management, CEO for Cancellation Fiasco, Cite Inhumane Working Conditions and Low Payouts for Chaos
IndiGo: India’s largest airline – IndiGo – is facing severe turbulence not in the skies but in its cockpit. A group of pilots have blamed the top management fully for the ongoing flight cancellation fiasco.
What Went Wrong With IndiGo?
The group of pilots cited “a systematic collapse of ethics and safety” at the heart of IndiGo’s so-called management. The letter, which has now widely being circulated among social media and aviation circles, alleges that domestic and foreign executives at the top level have been pushing crew members beyond legal and mental limits while blindly chasing profits.
It was further claimed that the airline’s day-to-day operations are dangerously understaffed with both flight crews and ground staff stretched to their breaking point.
IndiGo Flight Cancellations
In December 2025 alone, more than 500 flights have been cancelled due to poor planning, crew fatigue and rostering chaos. In a repair mode, the airline offered to issue full refunds for all cancellations between December 5 to 15, 2025. It also announced accommodations, buses and taxis in addition to meals for stranded passengers.
The letter also alleges that ground employees earn as little as Rs. 18000 per month while working in shifts of 12-14 hours. In contrast, pilots are flying illegally beyond extended hours, sometimes even for more than 14 hours a day. This seriously violates DGCA’s fatigue limits while severely endangering both flying crew and passengers.
These serious allegations against IndiGo severely dent the airline’s impeccable reputation for efficiency and punctuality. Aviation experts have warned for long that fatigue-related safety lapses are no longer hypothetical.
The letter has sparked widespread debates in political circles, social media and aviation industry about the safety and future of India’s skies.
Jalandhar Gets Major Boost as 1,196 New Civic Posts Approved; Bhagwant Mann
A long-pending demand of over three decades has finally been fulfilled for Jalandhar. The Local Government Department has approved 1,196 new recruitments to strengthen the city’s sanitation and civic infrastructure. Despite a growing population and expanding municipal limits, the Municipal Corporation had been functioning with severe human resource shortages for years.
Under the new approval, vacant posts across key categories—including sanitation workers, sewer men, gardeners, and fitter-coolies—will be filled, significantly enhancing the corporation’s ground workforce.
Bhagwant Mann Key Leadership Played Crucial Role
Jalandhar Central Halka Incharge Nitin Kohli played a pivotal and continuous role in pushing this process forward. Prioritizing the issue, he held multiple meetings in Chandigarh, ensured documentation, and maintained consistent follow-up. Mayor Vaneet Dhir, Sanitation Union Punjab Chairman Chandan Grewal, and Municipal Commissioner Sadeep Rishi also contributed actively throughout the administrative process, leading to official approval by Local Government Minister Dr. Ravjot Singh.
A Turning Point for Jalandhar’s Civic System
Mayor Vaneet Dhir called the decision “much-needed and transformative” for Jalandhar, acknowledging Nitin Kohli’s persistent efforts as a key reason behind the approval. He said the result will soon be visible in the form of cleaner streets, improved waste management, and strengthened services across wards, markets, and residential areas.
Nitin Kohli: “This Is the Beginning of a Cleaner, Modern Jalandhar”
Nitin Kohli stated that his mission is to build a clean, efficient, and modern Jalandhar. The addition of 1,196 employees will accelerate sanitation operations, improve sewage management, and significantly enhance the city’s overall appearance.
He credited Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and the AAP government’s progressive vision for making this historic approval possible. Kohli added that the government continues to prioritize public welfare and city development, and this recruitment drive reflects that commitment.
A Historic Milestone for the City
According to Kohli, this step marks the beginning of a major transformation. With improved manpower, Jalandhar is poised to become a cleaner, healthier, and better-managed city, with visible impact expected in the coming months.
He said that such people-centric decisions prove why the AAP government is considered among Punjab’s most dedicated administrations, consistently working to address citizens’ needs and enhance urban infrastructure.
Lucknow News: Announces Major Boost to Transport: Old Lucknow to Get Metro Soon
The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has announced a major milestone for the city, confirming that metro services will soon run through Old Lucknow, one of the most congested and historically significant parts of the capital. The project marks a crucial advancement in improving mobility and easing daily commute challenges faced by residents.
Lucknow News: Announces Major Boost to Transport
LDA officials revealed that the East–West corridor of Lucknow Metro will establish its main depot at Vasant Kunj Yojana, where approximately 40 acres of land have already been earmarked in Sector-A. The identified land parcel also includes plots from the Machhli Mandi area, enabling a smoother and more integrated layout for the upcoming depot.
Authorities believe that the construction of the depot will accelerate the Metro’s operational timeline and strengthen connectivity between Chowk, Aminabad, Kaiserbagh, and other old city localities, which currently face heavy traffic congestion. Once functional, the metro line is expected to reduce dependence on traditional transport modes and significantly cut travel time for thousands of commuters.
Urban planners have welcomed the move
Urban planners have welcomed the move, noting that metro expansion into Old Lucknow was long due, given the narrow streets and high population density. The project is also expected to trigger economic growth in the surrounding areas by improving access to markets, heritage sites, and business hubs.
LDA is working closely with UP Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) to ensure that the land acquisition and design approvals are completed within the proposed timelines. Senior officials have indicated that environmental clearances, structural planning, and tender processes will begin soon to keep the project on track.
The development reflects the Uttar Pradesh government’s broader push to modernize transport infrastructure and strengthen urban connectivity under its long-term vision for a more efficient and commuter-friendly Lucknow.
