Iqra Hasan Calls Nitish Kumar’s Hijab Pulling Act Shameful and Humiliating! Does Bihar CM Even Deserve to Lead?
Iqra Hasan: Samajwadi Party’s MP from Kairana Iqra Hasan has termed the behaviour of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar during the distribution of appointment letters as disgusting, shameful and a misogny.
What Happened At The Event?
Bihar CM was distributing appointment letters to 1,283 Ayush doctors (Ayurvedic, Homeopathic and Unani). During the event, he laughingly pulled off the face veil of Nusrat Praveen, a Muslim female doctor. The face of the female doctor was exposed to the audience and she was hurriedly rushed off the stage.
Bihar Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary made an attempt to stop Nitish but the damage was already done. The event was also attended by another Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, Health Minister Mangal Pandey and Bihar Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary.
The incident took place at ‘Samvad’, the chief minister’s secretariat in Patna.
Iqra Hasan-Reaction Of Political Parties
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) blasted Nitish Kumar’s behaviour terming that either the mental health of the CM has now reached a pitiable condition or he has become a 100% Sanghi (RSS man).
Congress labelled the act “vile”, “disgusting” and “shameful”. It demanded an unconditional apology and even resignation from the Bihar chief minister.
RJD leaders said no woman in the state of Bihar could feel safe if such behaviour by a sitting CM was normalized by the highest elected office. Congress added that the removal of a woman’s religious covering on a public platform sends a chilling message to minorities in the state and the country. It was further commented by Congress that the incident also degrades working women about how little their autonomy is respected by people in power.
According to legal experts, provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) such as Section 354-assault or use of criminal force on a woman with intent to outrage her modest could be invoked against Nitish Kumar depending on the woman’s complaint and investigation findings.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 11: Aditya Dhar’s Film Chases THIS Milestone After Beating SLB’s Padmaavat And Becoming Ranveer Singh’s Highest Grosser
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 11: Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is still surprising everyone at the box office. Many expected a strong ru, but nobody imagined this kind of dominance. On Day 11, the spy action thriller hit another big milestone. The film has now entered the top 10 highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
Read on for the detailed box office report!
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 11
As per industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhurandhar has collected Rs 379.75 crore net in India. The Rs 400 crore mark is now very close. Trade experts say the film could cross it soon.
The weekday numbers make the story even stronger. On its second Monday, the film earned ₹29 crore. This was higher than its first Monday, which stood at Rs 23 crore. Such growth on a weekday shows strong word of mouth. It also points to repeat audiences.
Dhurandhar has already beaten a major record. It crossed the lifetime India net collection of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. With this, it became Ranveer Singh’s highest-grossing film in India. This is a huge moment in his career.
At the moment, Dhurandhar is the second-highest Hindi grosser of 2025. It went past Saiyaara, which earned around Rs 330 crore in India. The top spot still belongs to Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava. That film made a little over Rs 600 crore domestically.
The film is also doing well worldwide. So far, Dhurandhar has earned Rs 579 crore globally. By the end of Day 12, it is expected to cross Padmaavat, which finished at Rs 585 crore worldwide. If that happens, it will also become Ranveer Singh’s biggest global hit. For Akshaye Khanna, this is his second biggest success after Chhaava, which crossed Rs 800 crore worldwide.
Occupancy numbers remain healthy. On Day 11, the average occupancy was 42.35%. Morning shows were at 21.75%. Afternoon shows rose to 40.74%. Evening shows touched 51.17%. Night shows peaked at 55.75%. These figures show steady interest throughout the day.
Dhurandhar Box Office Collection Day 11
| Day | India Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 [1st Friday] | Rs 28 cr |
| Day 2 [1st Saturday] | Rs 32 cr |
| Day 3 [1st Sunday] | Rs 43 cr |

| Day 9 [2nd Saturday] | Rs 53 cr |
| Day 10 [2nd Sunday] | Rs 58 cr |
| Day 11 [2nd Monday] | Rs 29 cr |
| Total | Rs 379.75 cr nett |
How Ranveer Singh Starrer Emerged As BLOCKBUSTER Despite Negativity
Strong word of mouth has driven this run. Before release, Dhurandhar faced heavy negativity. Some called it “rage-bait.” Others accused it of pushing propaganda. There were also doubts about its box office numbers. Audiences, however, thought differently. They connected with the story, action, and performances.
Trade analysts say weekday growth proves the film worked. A rejected film does not grow on Mondays. Dhurandhar did. Ranveer Singh’s intense performance won praise. Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait also stood out.
The story helped too. Dhurandhar is inspired by real events like the 1999 Kandahar hijacking and the 2001 Parliament attack. It follows a covert mission called Project Dhurandhar. R. Madhavan plays IB chief Ajay Sanyal, who leads the operation.
Ranveer Singh plays Jaskirat Singh Rangi. He is a prisoner sent undercover to Pakistan as Hamza Ali Mazari. His mission is to break Rehman Dakait’s terror network from within.
With no major Hindi release ahead, the film looks set to stay strong. Avatar: Fire and Ash may cause a small dip. Even then, Dhurandhar remains in control and very close to ₹400 crore.
SIR 2025: ECI to Release Draft Voter List Today, Mamata Banerjee in Combative Mode, Says ‘You have kitchen tools…’
SIR: The Election Commission of India (ECI) is likely to publish the draft electoral rolls for West Bengal today after the completion of the statewide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) ahead of the 2026 assembly polls.
Printed copies of the draft voter lists will be made available to all recognized political parties by the chief electoral officers (CEOs) and district election officers (DEOs). In addition, draft rolls will also be made available on the internet on the DEO and CEO websites.
The Election Commission will also publish the SIR electoral draft rolls of Goa, Puducherry, Rajasthan and Lakshadweep.
What Happens Next in West Bengal?
The publication of draft rolls by the ECI will bring an end to the enumeration phase. Thereafter, the stage of claims, objections and hearings will stretch into February 2026.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made a provocative suggested to women asking them to be prepared with “kitchen tools” if their names are deleted by the ECI during SIR.
Previosly, Mamata had warned of a dharna if any name gets illegally removed by the ECI. She had claimed that ‘BJP minded’ officials were exerting pressure on the District Magistrate to eliminate 1.5 crore names from the West Bengal voter lists.
SIR 2025 Draft Roll In West Bengal
The ECI draft rolls for the state of West Bengal are likely to include approximately 7.08 crore voters out of the total 7.66 crore in the state. The ECI refused to entertain more than 58 lakh forms as booth level officers found that those voters had moved, deceased, duplicates or absent. It was revealed by the ECI that 19.93 lakh have permanently moved, 1.37 lakh are registered at multiple locations, 24.18 lakh are deceased, 12.01 lakh cannot be traced and 57,509 fall into other categories.
Dense Fog Causes Massive Crash on Delhi-Agra Expressway, 4 Dead — What Drivers Must Know About Fog Safety ?
Delhi Agra Expressway: A major crash with many vehicles happened on the Delhi-Agra Motorway because of dense fog. Four people died, and several others were hurt. It was hard to see, so there was a chain reaction crash with cars and buses. Some of the cars caught fire after the crash.
Why Fog on the Highway is So Dangerous
Fog makes it very hard to see and judge how far away objects are. On high-speed motorways, drivers often don’t notice traffic slowing down ahead of them. This can lead to rear-end accidents and pile-ups in seconds.
Typical Errors Made When Driving in Fog
A lot of drivers keep going at normal speeds, use their high beams, or follow too closely. These errors make it much more likely that there will be very bad accidents in situations where visibility is low.
Fog Safety Rules for All Drivers
- Slow down and stay well under the speed limit.
- Keep an extra safe space behind the vehicle in front of you.
- Only use fog lights or low-beam headlights.
- Don’t change lanes quickly or brake suddenly.
- Follow the reflective studs and lane markings.
- If you can’t see well, turn on your warning lights and pull over safely.
When fog is strongest, traffic officials say to stay off the roads if you don’t need to go anywhere in the early morning and late at night. Also, drivers should look at weather reports before going out.
Why This is Important
The Delhi-Agra Motorway crash shows how speeding in foggy conditions can be dangerous. A lot of people don’t have to die in car accidents if drivers are careful and patient.
Delhi Pollution Shows Slight Improvement, many Areas Still Reel Under Severe Air Quality Levels, Can N95 Mask Protect Your Lungs ?
Delhi Pollution: Delhi’s air pollution remains a concern, especially in winter. Despite slight improvements, many areas still face severe pollution, underscoring the importance of health precautions such as N95 masks.
Current Air Quality Situation in Delhi
Recent data shows a slight improvement in Delhi’s AQI. However, many areas continue to experience severe pollution from PM2.5, PM10, and toxic gases, posing risks to children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions.
Health Risks of Severe Air Pollution
Severe air pollution can cause a range of health problems. Short-term effects include eye irritation, coughing, and respiratory difficulties, whereas long-term exposure can lead to chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, and reduced lung function.
Can N95 Masks Protect Your Lungs?
N95 masks are designed to filter at least 95% of airborne particles, including fine PM2.5 pollutants. They are considered one of the most effective masks for protecting against air pollution. However, the level of protection depends on proper fitting and consistent usage.
- Proper Fit: Ensure the mask covers your nose and mouth completely without gaps.
- Quality Check: Use certified N95 masks rather than cheaper alternatives.
- Duration of Use: Replace masks regularly if used for extended periods in polluted areas.
While N95 masks significantly reduce exposure to harmful particles, they cannot eliminate risks, especially in areas with extremely high pollution levels.
Additional Safety Measures
Along with wearing N95 masks, residents can take other precautions to reduce exposure:
- Stay indoors during peak pollution hours.
- Use air purifiers at home, especially in bedrooms.
- Avoid outdoor exercise or heavy physical activity on high-pollution days.
- Monitor AQI levels daily and plan travel accordingly.
Vijay Diwas: Will History Repeat Itself, or Have We Forgotten the Lessons of 1971?
Vijay Diwas: Observed on December 16 every year, Vijay Diwas marks the victory of India over Pakistan in 1971 that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh.
The Indo-Pak war of 1971 fundamentally shaped the geopolitical landscape of South Asia forever, reaffirming the role of India as a superpower and stabilizing force in the region.
Vijay Diwas-The Surrender of Pakistan
Pakistan forces surrendered on December 16, 1971 after they had committed mass atrocities in East Pakistan. Over 90,000 thousand Pakistan troops surrendered before the Indian troops.
General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi, the then chief of Pakistani forces, surrendered to the allied forces led by General Jagjit Singh Aurora.
Vijay Diwas: What led to the Indo-Pak War?
The Indo-Pak war started on December 3, 1971, and lasted for 13 days.
The war was a result of Bangladesh Liberation War after the ill-treatment by West Pakistan of East Pakistan people, undermining the election results in East Pakistan. This was after The Awami League under Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won. However, Pakistan’s military General Yahya Khan canceled the National Assembly and arrested Rahman in March 1971 after launching Operation Searchlight. After this, Pakistan imposed military rule in East Pakistan.
According to official estimated, Yahya Khan ordered mass killing and rapes of Bangladeshi people and women. More than 3 million people were killed and 400,000 women and girls were raped by members of the Pakistan Army.
This caused thousands of suicides, pregnancies, births of war babies, infanticide, abortions and ostracism of the victims. This was the same time when Bengali nationalists also went on to commit mass rape of ethnic Bihari Muslim women as they were supportive of Pakistan.
India assisted the Mukti Bahini of East Pakistan to help them get freedom. Indian army, navy and air forces attacked the Pakistani forces. Indian action relied of speed, accuracy, logistics and leadership on all war fronts and smartly exploited the enemy’s weaknesses in positions that resulted in the swift victory.
Have We Learned The Lessons?
Today, Bangladesh and Pakistan seem to be together against India. Gen Z and Gen Alpha of today are not much aware of the historic events, and doesn’t share the same level of patriotism that was once the pride of India.
Dhurandhar: ‘Stree’ Shraddha Kapoor Makes Special Demand, Kyunki Actress Smriti Irani Yells ‘De Do Oscar’, Samantha Ruth Prabhu Also Reacts, Check
Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar is enjoying a dream run at the box office. The spy thriller has impressed audiences across India. It has also won praise from several celebrities. Names like Vicky Kaushal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Allu Arjun have already applauded the film. Now, Shraddha Kapoor has joined the list, and her reaction has grabbed attention online.
Shraddha did not just praise the film. She also made a special request to director Aditya Dhar. Her message was clear and emotional. Fans quickly related to it.
Shraddha Kapoor Praises Dhurandhar And Demands Early Sequel
On Monday, Shraddha Kapoor shared her review on Instagram. She posted a series of stories after watching Dhurandhar. Her first line surprised many. She wrote, “Truly terrible of Aditya Dhar to make a film like Dhurandhar.” The next slide explained why.
She added, “and then make us wait three months for Part 2. Don’t play with our emotions, prepone the release please.”
Shraddha went on to praise the experience. She called the film powerful and immersive. She wrote, “What a phenomenal experience. Subah shoot nahi hoti toh kasam se abhi hi dobara dekhne jaati (had I not had a shoot in the morning, I would have gone again to watch the film). Chhaava, Saiyaara, Dhurandhar – all in 2025 Hindi cinema.”
Check her posts below
Her words struck a chord with fans. Many echoed the same feeling in the comments. Aditya Dhar also responded. He sent love and gratitude to Shraddha for her support.
Shraddha also spoke about the film’s journey. She highlighted how Dhurandhar faced negativity before release. She wrote, “From Yami Gautam having to call out the rampant negative PR machinery to manufactured controversies, Dhurandhar endured it all and came out shining. No bad force can pull a good film down. In audiences, we trust.”
TV Actress Smriti Irani also praised the film and raved about Akshaye Khanna’s performance. She eve told that the film deserves an Oscar.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu praised Ranveer Singh’s transformation and the performances of other cast members. She called the film ‘stunning to watch.’
Here’s Why Ranveer Singh Starrer Is Winning Hearts
Dhurandhar draws inspiration from real-life incidents. The film follows a spy who infiltrates Rehman Dakait’s gang in Lyari, Pakistan. His mission is dangerous. He must dismantle the gang and pass crucial information to RAW. The goal is to weaken ISI-backed terror networks.
The film stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role. He plays undercover agent Hamza. Viewers have praised his restrained and intense performance. Akshaye Khanna has also earned strong reviews. His portrayal of Rehman Dakait is chilling and layered.
The ensemble cast includes Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi and Danish Pandor. The grounded action, emotional depth and strong background score have worked in the film’s favour. Many see it as a refreshing change from formula-driven action films.
The box office numbers tell the same story. Dhurandhar crossed the Rs 500 crore mark worldwide within just 10 days. The collections are still holding strong.
Ranveer Singh also shared his thoughts amid the success. He wrote, “Kismat ki ek bohut khoobsurat aadat hai, ki woh waqt aane par badalti hai… lekin filhal… nazar aur sabr.”
Is It Safe To Release Dhurandhar Part 2 In March 2026?
The makers have already announced Dhurandhar Part 2. The sequel is set to release on March 19, 2026. It will clash with Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for the Grown-Ups. The clash has sparked debate. Still, many believe Dhurandhar will hold its ground.
The two parts were planned together. A post-credits scene confirmed the continuation. Fans now know the story arc is complete and intentional. That has only increased excitement.
Given the strong word of mouth and loyal fan base, expectations are high. If Part 1 is any sign, the sequel could aim even higher. Right now, audiences might agree with Shraddha Kapoor, as the wait feels long to them too.
Rob Reiner Death: ‘It’s Horrible…’ Donald Trump’s Cruel Comment On Murdered Director Triggers Fury, US President Faces Blowback From Own Allies
The death of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife has shocked many. The tragedy left the film world and political circles in disbelief. However, grief soon turned into anger. This happened after US President Donald Trump shared a harsh post online. Even some of his own supporters pushed back.
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead at their Los Angeles home on Sunday. Police later said their 32-year-old son had been booked on suspicion of murder. Authorities also stressed one clear point. There is no proof that politics played any role in the killings.
Despite this, the tragedy quickly became political.
Rob Reiner Death Shocks Entire Hollywood
Rob Reiner was a well-known name in Hollywood. News of his violent death spread fast. Many were still trying to process what had happened. That made the timing of the comments even more painful for some.
Police confirmed there was no link between Reiner’s political views and the crime. Investigators have not suggested any political motive. The focus remains on the family tragedy and the ongoing investigation.
Nick Reiner, the couple’s son, is now in custody. He is being held on $4 million bail. Reports have spoken about his past struggles with drug abuse and homelessness. For many, this only deepened the sense of heartbreak around the case.
Donald Trump Faces Backlash Over His ‘Cruel’ Comments
On Monday, Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social. He suggested that Rob Reiner’s criticism of him may have caused anger that led to the killing. He wrote that Reiner’s death was “I reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
The post shocked many people. It also drew quick backlash. Reporters later asked Trump if he stood by his words. He did not step back. “Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person.” He added, “I thought he was very bad for our country.”
Criticism followed almost immediately. This time, it did not come only from Democrats or Hollywood figures. Several Republicans and Trump allies also spoke out.
Jenna Ellis (Trump’s former lawyer) called the comment unacceptable. She wrote, “A man and his wife were murdered last night. This is NOT the appropriate response.” She added, “The Right uniformly condemned political and celebratory responses to Charlie Kirk’s death. This is a horrible example from Trump (and surprising considering the two attempts on his own life) and should be condemned by everyone with any decency.”
Former ESPN host Sage Steele also reacted. She called the post “so disappointing.” She said, “It’s comments like this that take away from the countless great things @realDonaldTrump does for America.”
Several Republican lawmakers echoed the criticism. Thomas Massie called the remarks “inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.” Mike Lawler was more direct. He wrote, “This statement is wrong. Regardless of one’s political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene urged restraint as well. “This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies,” she wrote.
The episode has also revived older criticism of Trump’s tone after deaths. In the past, he faced backlash for comments about John McCain and John Dingell. For some, this moment felt similar.
As the anger continues, Senator Chuck Schumer summed it up bluntly. Mr. Trump “knows no shame.”
For now, Rob Reiner’s death remains a moment of deep loss. Many feel it should have been met with silence and sympathy. Instead, it sparked a political storm that has left many shaken.
Lashkar Handler Behind Pahalgam Carnage, TRF Executed Attack: NIA Chargesheet
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has named a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) handler as the key conspirator behind the deadly Pahalgam attack, while stating that the strike was executed on the ground by The Resistance Front (TRF), according to a chargesheet filed by the agency. The development sheds fresh light on the terror network operating behind the attack that shook Jammu and Kashmir.
Lashkar Handler Behind Pahalgam Carnage, TRF Executed Attack: NIA Chargesheet
As per the NIA chargesheet, the attack was part of a larger cross-border conspiracy, with operational guidance and logistical support allegedly provided by a Pakistan-based Lashkar handler. TRF, considered an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, carried out the execution to give the attack a localised cover while maintaining ideological and operational links with the banned terror outfit.
Investigators have detailed how the accused coordinated recruitment
Investigators have detailed how the accused coordinated recruitment, movement of terrorists, weapons supply and reconnaissance before carrying out the attack in the Pahalgam area, which is a major tourist hub in south Kashmir. The agency has termed the incident a calculated attempt to spread fear, disrupt peace and target civilians as well as security forces in the region.
The chargesheet underscores the continuing threat posed by proxy terror outfits and their handlers operating from across the border, even as security forces maintain heightened vigilance in Jammu and Kashmir. Further investigation into financial channels, overground workers and digital communication used in the conspiracy is ongoing.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Sparks Debate in Pakistan Over Portrayal of Lyari
Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar, set predominantly in Karachi’s Lyari town between 1999 and 2009, is generating strong reactions not only in India but also across the border in Pakistan—despite the film not being released there. The first part of the film, which hit theatres on December 5 and has been on a record-breaking run at the box office, depicts Lyari as a violence-ridden neighbourhood marked by gang wars, police crackdowns, drug trafficking, arms proliferation and terrorism.
Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar Sparks Debate in Pakistan Over Portrayal of Lyari
The portrayal has drawn sharp criticism from Pakistan’s Sindh Information Department, which accused the film of misrepresenting Lyari. In a post on X, the department said Lyari symbolises culture, peace and resilience rather than violence, and alleged that Dhurandhar spreads propaganda. It announced Mera Lyari, a film aimed at presenting what it called the “authentic story of pride and prosperity,” scheduled for release in January 2026.
“Misrepresentation cannot erase reality. Lyari stands for culture, peace, and resilience—not violence,” the Sindh Information Department stated, adding that “Indian propaganda against Lyari will never be successful.”
Ranveer Singh’s character Humza Ali Mazari travels to Pakistan
In Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh’s character Humza Ali Mazari travels to Pakistan and eventually reaches Lyari, a locality that has long been associated—rightly or wrongly—with organised crime in popular narratives about Karachi. The film references the era when Karachi earned a reputation as one of Pakistan’s most dangerous cities, with Lyari often cited as a hub of gang activity.
The movie also features Akshaye Khanna as Rehman Dakait, one of Karachi’s most notorious gang leaders, who historically operated out of Lyari. Opposing him is the character of Superintendent of Police Chaudhary Aslam Khan, portrayed as a fearless officer determined to dismantle gang networks in the area.
While Pakistan prepares its cinematic counter-narrative with Mera Lyari, the Dhurandhar franchise is set to continue its momentum. The makers have already announced that the second part of Dhurandhar is slated for release on March 19, a move that could further fuel cross-border debate over history, representation and popular cinema.
Bhagwant Mann Reviews Preparations for Shaheedi Sabha at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday held a high-level meeting with senior officials in Chandigarh to review preparations for the upcoming Shaheedi Sabha at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib. The meeting focused on ensuring smooth arrangements and comprehensive facilities for the large number of devotees expected to attend the historic religious congregation.
Bhagwant Mann Reviews Preparations for Shaheedi Sabha at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib
The Chief Minister directed officials to complete thorough cleaning and maintenance of all roads leading to the Gurdwara Sahib well before the event. He stressed that pilgrims should not face any inconvenience while travelling to and from the venue, and that all arrangements must reflect the spirit of service and reverence associated with the Shaheedi Sabha.
To facilitate devotees, the state government will deploy ambulances, fire brigade vehicles, e-rickshaws, mobile toilets and shuttle bus services at key locations. These measures are aimed at ensuring quick medical assistance, safe movement and overall comfort for pilgrims, especially senior citizens and women.
CM Mann also instructed the administration to strengthen security
CM Mann also instructed the administration to strengthen security and crowd management. CCTV cameras will be installed across all sectors, with continuous monitoring to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of devotees throughout the event.
Reiterating his government’s commitment, Bhagwant Mann said that the Punjab government stands fully prepared to serve devotees paying obeisance at Sri Fatehgarh Sahib. He emphasized that providing seamless facilities to pilgrims is a matter of duty and respect for the supreme sacrifice commemorated at the Shaheedi Sabha.
Delhi–Dehradun Expressway Likely to Open by January 2026, Travel Time to Reduce Sharply
There is welcome news for commuters travelling between Delhi and Dehradun as the long-awaited Delhi–Dehradun Expressway has reached its final stage of construction. Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari informed Parliament that the project is nearly complete and is expected to be opened for traffic by January 2026.
The expressway is being developed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at an estimated cost of around ₹11,868 crore. Once operational, it is expected to significantly ease travel between the national capital and Uttarakhand, while also reducing congestion on existing routes.
Route and Key Features of the Delhi Dehradun Expressway
The Delhi–Dehradun Expressway will begin near the Akshardham Temple in Delhi and pass through several districts of Uttar Pradesh, including Baghpat, Baraut, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli and Saharanpur, before terminating in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. The project is a 210-km-long, six-lane, access-controlled greenfield highway designed to ensure faster and safer travel.
Construction Status and Reasons for Delay
Initially, the project was scheduled for completion by October 2025. However, the deadline has now been extended to January 2026. According to reports, Minister Nitin Gadkari stated that while most of the construction work has been completed, legal hurdles related to a 70-metre service road stretch between Akshardham and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) caused delays in finishing the remaining section.
Travel Time to Be Reduced to Nearly 2.5 Hours
The expressway will have a speed limit of 100 kmph. Once opened, the travel time between Delhi and Dehradun is expected to reduce dramatically—from the current 6.5 hours to around 2.5 hours. This reduction in travel time is likely to benefit daily commuters, tourists, and the transport sector, while also boosting economic activity in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The project is being seen as a major infrastructure boost that will improve regional connectivity, promote tourism, and enhance overall road travel experience between the two states.

AAP Punjab Claims Peaceful Conduct of Zila Parishad and Block Samiti Elections After Years
AAP Punjab media in-charge Baltej Pannu stated that in the past, these grassroots-level elections were openly “looted” by opposition parties, depriving people of their democratic rights. This time, however, candidates from all political parties were able to contest freely, reflecting an improved electoral environment in the state.
Highlighting the role of the Bhagwant Mann-led government
Highlighting the role of the Bhagwant Mann-led government, Pannu said the administration ensured law and order throughout the polling process, allowing elections to conclude smoothly and transparently. He added that the Aam Aadmi Party fought the elections on the basis of its work and governance record rather than money power or intimidation.
“The results will also come on the basis of work,” Pannu asserted, expressing confidence that voters would reward AAP for its performance in governance and development.
The party described the peaceful completion of the elections as a positive step towards strengthening democracy at the grassroots level and restoring public faith in the electoral process in Punjab.
AAP leaders further said that the smooth conduct of the elections reflects the Mann government’s commitment to democratic values and institutional transparency. They claimed that strict monitoring by the administration and police ensured that no candidate or voter was pressured, creating a level playing field for all political parties.
Baltej Pannu also emphasized that these elections marked a shift towards issue-based politics at the local level. He said development works in villages, improvements in basic amenities, and pro-people policies of the state government became the central issues during campaigning. According to him, this change indicates growing political awareness among voters.
AAP Punjab reiterated that empowering local bodies is essential for effective governance, as Zila Parishads and Block Samitis play a crucial role in rural development. The party expressed hope that the newly elected representatives would work in coordination with the state government to accelerate development, strengthen public services, and address local issues more efficiently.
