With a view to passing on to the coming generations the timeless message of social, economic and political equality given by Sri Guru Ravidass Ji nearly six centuries ago, the Punjab Government has taken a decision of historic significance to establish the Sri Guru Ravidass Bani Adhayyan Centre near Dera Ballan in Jalandhar. The initiative is also aimed at ensuring global outreach of the teachings and ideology of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji.

Disclosing the details, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that in a novel initiative, one of its kind in the country, the Punjab Government has got registered more than 9 acre land at a cost of ₹10.50 crore in the name of the Adhayyan Centre. “The Punjab Government stands totally committed to ensuring that the teachings and ideology of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji reach every nook and corner of the globe,” he said.

Giving further information, the Finance Minister said that three registries have been effected today. “One registry pertains to village Naugaja measuring 64 Kanal 5 Marla at a cost of ₹5,40,98,500. Another registry is at village Faridpur for 2 Kanal at a cost of ₹16,74,000, while the third registry, also at village Faridpur, measures 10 Kanal 14 Marla and costs ₹1,44,62,150,” he said, adding that “these three registries together amount to ₹7,02,54,659 and pertain to a total area of 76 Kanal 19 Marla.”

“We are fortunate to be partners in this noble cause. Our Government is dedicated with heart and soul towards propagating the global message of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji, which is centered on equality, compassion and social justice,” said the Finance Minister.

He said that these Adhayyan Centres would act as shining lights for the coming generations. “The motive behind this measure is to make the young generation aware of the glorious history and to take a giant step forward towards erasing social and economic gaps,” he said.

Explaining the broader vision, the Finance Minister said, “The main objective of the Sri Guru Ravidass Bani Adhayyan Centre is to undertake research, preservation and dissemination of the teachings of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji through seminars, publications as well as community-based programmes.”

The Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government has carved a significant milestone in public welfare by introducing policies aimed at protecting the interests of every section of society. Among its most notable initiatives is the Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme, which has been widely described as a transformative step in the healthcare sector and is now drawing attention beyond state borders.

AAP leader Anurag Dhanda has on multiple occasions appreciated the Mann government’s approach to governance, particularly highlighting the health insurance scheme as a forward-looking and people-centric reform. While explaining the scope of the scheme, Dhanda has termed it a “boon for the people of Punjab”, stressing its long-term benefits for ordinary citizens.

Anurag Dhanda: ₹10 Lakh Annual Health Cover for Every Family

Under the newly implemented scheme, Punjab residents are eligible for free annual health coverage of up to ₹10 lakh. The programme aims to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent citizens from accessing quality medical treatment. Anurag Dhanda has described the initiative as a revolutionary move in the healthcare sector, noting that such comprehensive coverage can significantly reduce the economic burden on families during medical emergencies.

AAP Leader Calls Scheme a Global Model

Anurag Dhanda has repeatedly praised the Punjab government’s health policy, calling it a path-breaking decision that could serve as a model for other states and countries. He has pointed out that Punjab has emerged as one of the first regions where the government is providing such an extensive health insurance cover entirely free of cost.

According to Dhanda, the scheme has the potential to change the state’s healthcare landscape by making advanced treatment accessible to all, regardless of income or location.

Relief for Rural and Economically Weaker Sections

The Chief Minister Health Insurance Scheme has already been rolled out across Punjab, with health cards being distributed in various districts. The initiative is expected to bring major relief to economically weaker sections who often delay or avoid treatment due to financial limitations.

The scheme is also designed to benefit residents of rural and remote areas, where access to quality healthcare remains a challenge. By reducing out-of-pocket medical expenses, the policy aims to bridge the gap between urban and rural healthcare facilities.

A Step Towards Inclusive Healthcare

Observers say the consistent appreciation from political leaders like Anurag Dhanda reflects growing confidence in the Mann government’s welfare-oriented policies. The health insurance scheme is being seen as a decisive step towards building an inclusive and equitable healthcare system in Punjab, ensuring dignity and security for every citizen.

Punjab Cabinet Ministers Advocate Harpal Singh Cheema and Lal Chand Kataruchak on Wednesday flagged off a special train carrying devotees to Varanasi from the city railway station to mark the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji, with the leaders calling upon people to walk the path of universal brotherhood shown by Sri Guru Ravidas Ji to build an ideal and inclusive society.

The programme was attended by Lok Sabha Member Raj Kumar Chabbewal, Chabbewal MLA Dr. Ishank Kumar, former Minister Balkar Singh, Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh and Chairman Punjab State Cooperative Agricultural Development Bank Pawan Kumar Tinu, who joined the devotees in marking the occasion with devotion and reverence.

Addressing the gathering, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, after seeking blessings from Sant Niranjan Dass Ji of Dera Ballan, said, “The Punjab Government led by CM Bhagwant Singh Mann will observe the 650th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji on a grand scale with devotion and reverence. Statewide programmes focusing on the life, teachings and travels of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji will be organised, and a detailed roadmap in this regard has been finalised in a meeting of the Cabinet Sub Committee.”

Highlighting concrete steps taken by the government, Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, “A sale deed has been signed for setting up a dedicated centre for extensive research and study of the sacred bani of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji. Sri Guru Ravidas Ji gave a timeless message of welfare of humanity and equality of all sections of society, and his teachings continue to guide society towards social harmony and justice.”

Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak, while addressing the devotees, said, “The Bhagwant Mann Government remains fully committed to shaping a society rooted in the teachings and philosophy of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji. A comprehensive plan has been drawn up to observe the 650th Parkash Purab on a large scale, and the government will ensure that the celebrations are held in a befitting and historic manner.”

Extending greetings to the devotees on the 649th Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Ravidas Ji, Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak said, “Guru Ji envisioned an ideal social order where no one suffers discrimination or hardship. By following these teachings, the Punjab Government is taking sustained steps to secure the welfare of the weaker sections of society.”

Bhagwant Mann: Over 2 Lakh Registrations for 20,000 Seats Reflect Growing Trust in Government Schools

January 29, 2026

Punjab’s government-run education system has witnessed a significant surge in public interest, with over 2 lakh students registering for just 20,000 seats in the state’s Schools of Eminence and residential government schools. The overwhelming response highlights a growing confidence among parents and students in the quality of education being offered by government institutions under the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government.

According to official information, the high number of applications far exceeds the available seats, indicating intense competition and a clear shift in preference towards upgraded government schools. Education officials said the response reflects the impact of recent reforms aimed at improving infrastructure, academic standards, and overall student development.

Why Bhagwant Mann Government Schools Are Attracting Students

The Schools of Eminence programme focuses on providing modern classrooms, trained faculty, digital learning tools, and holistic education at no cost to students. Residential schools, in particular, offer an inclusive learning environment with lodging, meals, and academic support, making them attractive to students from both urban and rural backgrounds.

Officials noted that the state’s emphasis on equal access to quality education, regardless of socio-economic background, has played a key role in driving registrations.

Entrance Examination Details

With applications now closed, the Punjab government is preparing to conduct an entrance examination to shortlist candidates for admission. Authorities are expected to announce the exam schedule and guidelines shortly, following the scrutiny of applications.

The merit-based selection process aims to ensure transparency while giving deserving students an opportunity to secure admission in these premier government institutions.

Education Reforms Under Mann Government

The surge in applications is being seen as a validation of the education reforms introduced by the Bhagwant Mann government. Over the past few years, Punjab has focused on revamping school infrastructure, teacher training, curriculum updates, and student welfare initiatives.

Education department officials said such responses encourage the government to further expand capacity and continue investing in public education.

A Competitive Yet Promising Opportunity

While the limited number of seats means many applicants may not secure admission this year, education experts believe the enthusiasm signals a positive long-term shift towards strengthening government schooling in Punjab.

The Punjab government has reiterated its commitment to expanding educational opportunities and ensuring that quality education reaches every deserving student in the state.

AAP’s Pannu Slams Warring and Bajwa’s Silence on Rajinder Kaur Bhattal’s Explosive Statement

January 29, 2026

Aam Aadmi Party Punjab Media In-charge Baltej Pannu on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress leadership for maintaining a “criminal silence” over the shocking statements made by former Punjab Chief Minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, who recently claimed that she was advised to allow bomb blasts in Punjab to help the Congress government return to power.

Addressing a press conference at the party office, Pannu said it was deeply disturbing that more than 24 hours after the interview went viral, neither Rajinder Kaur Bhattal nor any senior Congress leader has come forward to clarify or condemn the statement. “This silence raises serious questions. Are these statements true, or is Congress trying to bury a very uncomfortable truth?” he asked.

Pannu recalled that this was not the first time such revelations had surfaced. Former CM Captain Amarinder Singh himself had earlier spoken about young men being presented before the then Prime Minister and later being killed, claims that were never properly investigated or even acknowledged during his long tenures as Chief Minister. “Why did Captain Amarinder Singh, despite ruling Punjab for years, never speak about those youths or seek justice for their families?” Pannu questioned.

Referring to Bhattal’s interview, Pannu said the claim that senior leaders, advisors or officers suggested orchestrating bomb blasts at public places to secure electoral victory is an extremely grave matter. “Punjab has paid an unbearable price for violence during tough times. Families were destroyed, youth were lost, and the state is still carrying the burden, socially, economically and emotionally. To even suggest using terror as a political tool is unforgivable,” he said.

Pannu also questioned why the Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa, and other senior leaders have chosen to remain silent. “At the very least, Congress must tell Punjabis whether Rajinder Kaur Bhattal is lying or telling the truth. Who were those leaders, officers and advisors who gave such advice?” he demanded.

He further linked the statement to the 2017 pre-election bomb blast, in which innocent lives, including children, were lost. “If Bhattal’s statement is true, Punjabis have every right to ask whether such incidents were part of a larger conspiracy to manipulate power,” Pannu said, calling for full accountability.

Drawing a contrast, Pannu said traditional parties, Congress and Akali Dal, have repeatedly compromised Punjab’s interests, whether on SYL, Chandigarh, Punjab University or BBMB, for political convenience. “These parties ruled by suppressing truth and sacrificing Punjab’s rights. Today, their own leaders are exposing that dark history,” he said.

Pannu asserted that under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, AAP has taken an uncompromising stand on every issue concerning Punjab’s rights and dignity. “This government assures Punjabis that the state will never again be treated as a laboratory for political experiments. Punjab’s peace, rights and future are non-negotiable,” he said.

Concluding, Pannu said the truth cannot remain hidden forever. “Like the tale of the blue jackal, the real face of these traditional parties is being exposed. Punjabis must remember how governments were formed in the past, and must never allow such forces to return,” he said.

Gut Health: Harvard Doctor Shares 7 Hidden Body Signals, Ignoring It Could Sabotage Your Energy, Mood And Immunity

Gut Health - 7 Hidden Body Signals, Ignoring It Could Sabotage Your Energy, Mood And Immunity — Photo Credit: Created with Gemini

Our bodies often send subtle signals before bigger health issues appear. Many of us overlook these early warnings, thinking they’re minor annoyances. According to a Harvard-trained doctor Saurabh Sethi, these small changes could be telling you that your gut health is off balance. This is a problem that can silently affect energy, mood, immunity, and overall well-being.

Understanding these hidden signals early can help you take action before bigger problems develop. Here are seven key signs to watch out for.

Early Signs Your Gut Health Needs Attention

Burnout without exhaustion

Most people think fatigue is the first sign of burnout. But often, the earliest signal is a lower stress threshold. You may find yourself irritated over small things. Emotional burnout appears before physical fatigue, so noticing this early can help prevent serious stress-related issues.

Waking up tired despite sleep

Dark circles aren’t always the first indicator of poor sleep. If you wake up feeling drained after a full night, your sleep quality may be compromised. Sleep fragmentation (the interruptions throughout the night) matters more than total sleep hours.

Mental fog and slow thinking

The first sign of gut imbalance often shows in the brain before the stomach. Feeling unfocused, mentally slow, or foggy could indicate your gut–brain axis is struggling. Paying attention to cognitive changes can help catch gut issues early.

Body-wide fatigue from low vitamin D

Instead of low mood, low vitamin D often causes general fatigue. Your energy drops, making even small tasks feel heavier. Recognising this early can prevent more serious vitamin deficiencies and related health problems.

Cold hands and feet from low iron

Dizziness is not always the first sign of low iron. Poor circulation from reduced oxygen delivery can make your hands and feet feel cold. Catching this early allows timely adjustments in diet or supplementation.

Puffy face from inflammation

Inflammation doesn’t always hurt. Early signs include fluid retention, which can show as a puffy face in the morning. Detecting inflammation before pain develops helps prevent chronic conditions.

Subtle shifts you might miss

These early warning signs are easy to overlook. Most people only notice the more obvious symptoms later. Paying attention to your body’s subtle cues can protect energy, mood, immunity and overall health.

Why It Is The Foundation Of Wellness

Gut health affects almost every system in your body. Energy levels, mood stability, immune function, cravings and inflammation all start in the gut. By recognising these hidden signals early and supporting your gut with proper nutrition, hydration and lifestyle habits, you can prevent bigger health issues and feel more energetic and focused every day.

Taking small, consistent steps to maintain gut health can make a huge difference. Listen to your body – it often knows what’s going wrong before you do.

Budget 2026: Industry Expects MUDRA Loan Extensions For Homestays, New Projects Under Swadesh Darshan 2.0 And UDAN May Be Announced To Boost Tier 2 And 3 Tourism

By

January 29, 2026

Budget 2026: The travel & tourism industry of India stands at a crucial juncture as the country eyes its ambitious goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. Industry experts want the Union Finance Minister to untap the hidden potential in travel and tourism segments of the country.

Presently, the industry contributes nearly 6.5-8.0 percent to GDP pre-pandemic and employing more than 40 million people, the travel & tourism sector expects a series of welfare, economic and social measures to drive industry revival after a somewhat good year in 2025.

Key Demands & Expectations From Budget 2026

Key demands include extensions of Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA) loans for homestays, fresh funding under Swadesh Darshan 2.0 and Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik (UDAN) scheme expansions.

A series of growth-inducing budgetary measures could go a long way to turbocharge tourism in tier-2 and tier-3 cities of the country such as Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Coimbatore, Dehradun, Guwahati, Indore and Jaipur, unlocking hidden gems beyond the Taj Mahal and Goa beaches.

The Right Way Forward

Industry stakeholders expect the Budget 2026 may sharpen its focus on strengthening tourism infrastructure across rail, road and air transport. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman may introduce budgetary measures under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) and the Challenge-Based Destination Development (CBDD) scheme.

The Indian Tourism & Hospitality Association (ITHA) is pushing for higher loan ceilings up to ₹20-40 lakh and simplified disbursal for homestay owners in aspirational districts. Many believe that such developmental measures could draw Gen Z and Millennials seeking sustainable, Instagram-worthy escapes to tier-3 towns like Coorg or Ziro Valley.

Many industry experts are counting the Finance Minister to announce ₹25,000-30,000 crore for new projects, prioritizing underserved regions under Swadesh Darshan 2.0. Tier-2/3 cities crave more routes under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagarik) scheme and budget 2026 expectations include 100 new UDAN routes, with subsidies extended to 2028-30.

Border 2 has become one of the biggest Bollywood success stories this week. Starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh, the war drama has impressed at the box office. After a strong four-day extended weekend, the film has continued to perform well on weekdays.

As the film enjoys its successful run, Sunny Deol took time to thank fans for their love.

Sunny Deol Thanks Fans For Showering Love On Border 2

On Thursday, the actor shared a video on social media and expressed his gratitude. Along with the post, Sunny wrote, “Meri, aapki, Hamari #Border2 ko itna pyaar dene ke liye, aap sab ko bohot… (sic).”

In the video, Sunny addressed fans by recreating his iconic dialogue from the film. He said, “Aawaz kaha tak gayi… Aapke dilon tak. Aapko meri border bahot pasand aayi, thank you very much. Love you all.”

Even at 68, Sunny Deol has received praise for his performance. His action scenes look effortless, and his powerful voice continues to give audiences goosebumps.

Suniel Shetty Hasn’t Watched The Film Yet

While theatres are packed, Suniel Shetty has made a surprising choice. The actor (who played Assistant Commandant Bhairon Singh Rathore in the 1997 film Border) has not watched the sequel yet. This is despite the fact that his son (Ahan Shetty) plays an important role in Border 2.

Suniel attended the premiere to support Ahan but chose to stay outside the theatre. His wife Mana Shetty, daughter Athiya Shetty and son-in-law KL Rahul watched the film inside, while Suniel met people and greeted well-wishers.

Speaking to Mid-day, Suniel said, “I sat outside the theatre for three and a half hours, meeting people and soaking in all the compliments.” He then revealed the reason behind his decision.

Explaining his vow, Suniel shared, “I had said from day one that I wouldn’t watch ‘Border 2’ until it crossed a worldwide collection of Rs 500 crore. I had kept a mannat for Ahan. So far, I haven’t watched a single frame. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about arrogance.”

He also expressed confidence in the film and his son’s performance and said, “I am hoping it will cross Rs 500 crore. Many loved Border 2. Everybody who has watched the film has appreciated Ahan’s work. I am happy that after Dhurandhar, another Hindi movie has worked brilliantly.”

Suniel added that once the milestone is achieved, he plans to watch the film with his family and the cast.

Viral Video: A clip of a woman from Patna, India, filming a former classmate and making fun of him has become very popular online. The male subject in this video previously received numerous accolades for his academic achievements but is now 30 years old and works as a Domino’s pizza deliverer. In spite of being mocked, he remains composed and highlights the integrity associated with working for your wages.

Saw this viral heartbreaking Patna video — ex-schoolmate mocking the Domino's delivery boy for "just delivering pizza" after he used to motivate everyone in class. Bro stayed calm, kept smiling, kept working.

No job is small when it's honest hustle. Respect 🙏🫡

Public Reaction

Quickly, users of social networks had a very strong view about what happened. Everyone agreed that the woman had behaved inappropriately, and many found her use of personal insult unacceptable. Conversely, most found that the man demonstrated grace and humility, with many noting double standards in how men and women are perceived and treated when they experience difficulty; e.g., the man was ridiculed for being a lawyer, a profession he had in the past.

Societal Stigma Around Blue-Collar Jobs

This event serves as a recurring theme within India, as there is an underappreciation for blue-collar roles. Job positions such as delivery personnel and other jobs within this field of work are paramount to the economy, however, they also come with an unjustified stigma attached to them. Viral articles such as this one provide social dialogue around the need for empathy and respect for everyone struggling financially.

Calls for Empathy and Understanding:

Over 50 comments under the video condemned the mockery and celebrated the man’s resilience. While the identities of those involved haven’t been officially verified, the story highlights the importance of treating all professions with dignity, regardless of societal expectations.

Shark Tank India 5: ‘Papa Ne Humein…’ Jaipur Man Left A Diary After Death, Daughters Built Rs 10 Cr Business Using His Secret Formula

Shark Tank India 5 witnessed one of its most emotional pitches when Jaipur-based Dr Renu Mathur stepped onto the stage with her two daughters. They were not just pitching their home-cleaning brand, Urban Wipe, but also sharing a deeply personal story rooted in loss, legacy and resilience.

What caught everyone’s attention was a small red diary. It once belonged to Dr Renu’s late husband. Inside it were handwritten formulas that later became the foundation of a business now worth over Rs 10 crore.

Dr Renu’s husband passed away in 2017. Instead of letting his dream fade, she and her daughters decided to bring it back to life. That diary became their guiding light.

As the pitch began, daughter Apoorva shared an emotional note on stage, “Papa ne humein bahut kuch diya hai, lekin unki sabse keemti virasat yeh diary hai. Isi ki madad se humne 10 crore se zyada ka business khada kiya hai. Urban Wipe banata hai asardaar, acid-free home cleaning solutions, jo aapke ghar ko ghanton nahi, balki minutes mein chamka dete hain.”

For the family, Urban Wipe is more than a brand. It is a tribute to their father’s unfinished dream.

Shark Tank India 5: Daughters Build Acid-Free Cleaning Solution Built On Father’s Legacy

Urban Wipe was officially relaunched on November 1, 2023 by Dr Renu Mathur and her daughters Apoorva and Samriddhi. The brand focuses on effective, acid-free home-cleaning products.

However, the idea began much earlier. Dr Renu explained the journey and said, “2011 mein maine apne husband ko challenge diya tha ki aap mere liye koi aisa effective liquid cleaner banao jo fatafat kaam kare. Lekin unhone itne zabardast chemicals bana diye ki poora Jaipur hi chamak gaya. 2017 mein unke jaane ke baad bhi mujhe yaad raha ki papa ne iske liye kitni mehnat kari thi. Unka sapna tha har ghar Urban Wipe. Us sapne ko adhoora kaise chhod sakte the? Isi liye 1st November 2023 ko humne is business ko phir se start kiya. Aaj dheere-dheere poora India Urban Wipe par bharosa kar raha hai. Hum jis platform par list hote hain, wahan ke best sellers ban jaate hain.”

The family had earlier experimented with a washing powder business around 2000, which eventually shut down after her husband’s death.

Today, Urban Wipe sells kitchen, bathroom, floor, furniture, and shoe cleaners. The brand has gained strong traction online. On Meesho, its kitchen cleaner has received nearly 35,000 reviews with a 4-star rating. On Amazon, the product carries a bestseller tag.

In 2024, Amazon recognised Urban Wipe as a bestseller at a Delhi event. Soon after, a viral reel led to nearly 10,000 orders overnight, pushing the brand temporarily out of stock

Sharks’ Reaction, Packaging Concerns And Final Deal

The Sharks were moved by the story and impressed by the numbers. However, Aman Gupta criticised the packaging, calling it “fuddu” and saying it lacked appeal for Gen Z and millennial consumers.

Despite this, he saw potential and first offered Rs 90 lakh for 5 per cent equity. He later revised the offer to Rs 1 crore for the same stake, which Mohit Yadav matched.

After tough negotiations, Anupam Mittal and Aman Gupta teamed up and made a joint offer of Rs 2 crore for 20 per cent equity. With limited room to negotiate further, the founders accepted the deal.

Urban Wipe walked away from Shark Tank India 5 not just with funding, but with a powerful story of family, faith, and a father’s dream carried forward.

Ghaziabad News: CM Yogi Adityanath Govt’s Gift To Commuters, These 9 Busy Intersections To Get Rid Of Long Traffic Jams

By

January 29, 2026

Ghaziabad News: The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) under the able guidance of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath would be addressing severe traffic jam concerns in the city.

A scientific survey would soon be carried out by the Urban Mass Transit Company Limited (UMTC) to make nine busiest intersections of the city free from traffic jams and congestion to ease the travel of millions of daily commuters.

Ghaziabad News-What’s Special?

The UMTC Survey, which is being initiated on the instructions of the Divisional Commissioner, would be collecting data on peak hours and traffic pressure with a predefined goal to develop solutions that would work in the long run. These intersections would be developed into out-of-the-box model junctions to reduce pollution and ensure pedestrian safety.

Divisional Commissioner’s Intervention

The Divisional Commissioner suggested that simply replacing the divider or widening the roads would not be able to solve the traffic jam problems of the city. Therefore, it was decided that scientific data on traffic pressure, the road’s dynamics and the count of vehicles during peak hours should be considered before formulating any policy decision. After this, the thought of carrying out a professional survey was formulated and accepted.

Nine Intersections

The nine major intersections would be Chaudhary Mor, Hapur Chungi Square, Dasna Gate Square, Junction below Thakurdwara flyover, ALT Center Square, Gaushala Gate/Chowraha, Junction near Commissionerate Office (Collectorate), Lohia Nagar/Old Bus Stand Square and Nehru Nagar/Yashoda Hospital Cut.

It was clarified by the GDA Vice Chairman Nand Kishore Kalaal that the tender process for the same would be initiated shortly once the report by UMTC is received. The nine intersections would be developed as “model junctions”, prioritizing pedestrian safety and modern facilities. This initiative would help save fuel, reduce traffic congestion and minimize the city’s alarming pollution levels.

UP Emerges as a Leader in Metro Network Expansion Under CM Yogi Adityanath

According to the Government of Uttar Pradesh, metro rail services are now operating successfully in six major cities — Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, and Agra. This expansion has made urban commuting simpler, smoother, and smarter, benefiting lakhs of daily commuters.

Metro Connectivity Boosts Urban Mobility

The state government highlighted that the operational metro network has improved ease of travel, reduced congestion, and enhanced overall urban mobility. With modern infrastructure and efficient services, metro rail has become a preferred mode of transport across major urban centres of Uttar Pradesh.

Double-Engine Government Push

Officials credited the progress to the double-engine government model, stating that coordinated efforts between the Centre and the state have accelerated infrastructure development. Uttar Pradesh is now among the frontrunners in metro connectivity, setting an example for other states.

Rapid Pace of Development

The government emphasised that Uttar Pradesh’s development momentum continues to gain speed, with metro expansion playing a crucial role in transforming cities into more accessible and future-ready urban spaces.

With metro rail operations expanding across key regions, Uttar Pradesh is steadily reinforcing its position as a state focused on modern, efficient, and people-centric urban transport solutions.

The state government has emphasised that metro rail aligns with its vision of smart, sustainable, and environmentally friendly transportation. Energy-efficient systems, modern stations, and integrated connectivity with other modes of transport are helping build future-ready cities.

Double-Engine Government Model

The progress in metro infrastructure has been attributed to the double-engine government approach, with coordinated planning and execution between the Centre and the state. Officials noted that this synergy has enabled faster project completion and improved service delivery.

Strengthening Uttar Pradesh’s Growth Story

With continuous investments in urban infrastructure, Uttar Pradesh is positioning itself as a model state for modern transport systems. The government maintains that metro expansion is not only improving mobility but also supporting economic growth, employment generation, and overall quality of urban life.

As the metro network continues to expand, Uttar Pradesh’s focus remains on inclusive, efficient, and smart urban mobility, reinforcing the state’s rapidly evolving development narrative.

Ajit Pawar: Sorted? Cremation Day Turnaround! NCP May Propose Sunetra As Deputy CM And Praful Patel As Party Supremo

January 29, 2026

Ajit Pawar: The shocking death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on 28 January 2026 has left many shocked in the political circles. Just hours after his cremation today, top Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders Praful Patel, Chhagan Bhujbal, Dhananjay Munde and Sunil Tatkare met his wife Sunetra Pawar. She may now contest from Ajit Pawar’s Baramati seat.

Many believe that Praful Patel may become the President of the NCP. This possible “cremation day turnaround” could reshape political alliances and rivalries in the state.

The Dramatic Shift Post-Cremation of Ajit Pawar

Senior party leaders Praful Patel, Chhagan Bhujbal, Dhananjay Munde and Sunil Tatkare met Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra Pawar. It is believed that she may be asked to contest Baramati by-election, a seat Ajit dominated since 1993.

According to media reports, there are growing talks that Sunetra may be pitched for the role of Deputy CM to CM Devendra Fadnavis, with Patel stepping up as working president amid merger talks with NCP (SP).

Political Stability

The faction of Ajit Pawar with 41 MLAs has ties with the BJP-Shiv Sena Mahayuti coalition, which holds a slim edge over the 145-seat majority mark. The elevation of Sunetra Pawar would ensure continuity but it is likely to be seen whether the Bharatiya Janata Party would give a nod to the Deputy CM position though it is highly likely that Sunetra could become, given the sympathy wave in her favour.

The grassroots connection of Sunetra in western Maharashtra could sustain the Pawar clout in the state. Moreover, the elevation of Patel may neutralize hardliners such as Chhagan Bhujbal.

A political veteran, Praful Patel could steer mergers with Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP), mending family rifts.

If Sunetra and Patel clinch it, NCP survives else NCP-SP could feast on the vacuum.

Shashi Tharoor: Senior Congress leader and Thiruvananthapuram Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor met Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in New Delhi, setting off fresh political buzz in Kerala. The meeting comes amid ongoing discussions around leadership dynamics within the party’s Kerala unit and speculation about internal differences.

Thanks to @INCIndia President @kharge ji and LS LoP @RahulGandhi ji for a warm and constructive discussion today on a wide range of subjects. We are all on the same page as we move forward in the service of the people of India. pic.twitter.com/T5l8jqkhUT

High-Profile Meeting Sparks Speculation

Tharoor’s meeting with the Congress high command has drawn attention due to recent public debates surrounding his role and statements. While the party has denied any serious rift, political observers note that the timing of the interaction is significant, especially as the Congress looks to consolidate its position in Kerala’s highly competitive political landscape.

“We Are on the Same Page,” Says Tharoor

After the meeting, Tharoor stated that discussions were constructive and that the leadership is aligned on key issues. He emphasised unity, stating that the focus remains on strengthening the party and addressing concerns relevant to the people of Kerala. His remarks are being seen as an effort to put to rest rumours of internal discord and project organisational cohesion.

Implications for Kerala Politics

Kerala politics has long been shaped by internal leadership balance within major parties. Tharoor, known for his national profile and voter appeal, holds influence beyond his constituency. Analysts believe his visible engagement with the central leadership could impact future organisational decisions and campaign strategies in the state.

The Congress is currently facing strong competition from the ruling Left Democratic Front, while also attempting to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party’s expanding footprint. In this context, unity within the party is seen as critical.

Congress Signals Stability

By publicly showcasing dialogue and alignment, the Congress leadership appears keen to send a message of stability to party workers and supporters. The meeting may also indicate efforts to integrate diverse voices within the party framework ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Farhan Akhtar Making Jee Le Zaraa After Don 3 Put on Hold — Photo Credit: X

Don 3 is put on hold after Ranveer Singh‘s exit from this Farhan Akhtar directorial. This has once again brought Jee Le Zaraa into focus. Weeks after reports claimed Ranveer Singh exited Don 3, fresh updates suggest that Farhan has decided not to rush the project.

Instead, the filmmaker is reportedly turning his attention to Jee Le Zaraa, the road-trip drama announced in 2021. The film stars Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif and fans have been waiting for an update for a long time.

According to reports, the decision has been taken carefully, keeping the legacy of the Don franchise in mind.

Farhan Akhtar Puts Don 3 On Hold

As per a PinkVilla report, Farhan Akhtar does not want to finalise the casting of Don 3 in a hurry. He believes the role of Don is extremely important and needs the right actor.

A source told the portal, “Farhan feels the casting of Don is crucial. He wants to be absolutely sure about who steps into the role, and it is a longer process.”

Because of this, Don 3 has been temporarily paused. With more time available, Farhan has reportedly decided to revisit Jee Le Zaraa, a project that is said to be very close to him.

Another insider revealed, “Jee Le Zaraa has always been special for Farhan. With Don 3 taking time at the casting stage, he felt this was the right moment to revive discussions with the original team and push the film forward.”

Jee Le Zaraa Update: Script Ready, Dates Awaited

According to reports, the script of Jee Le Zaraa has already been finalised. Creatively, the film is ready to go. However, the main reason for the delay has been scheduling issues.

All three lead actresses have packed work calendars, which has made it difficult to align dates. Despite this, discussions are now back on track.

Sources added, “If the dates align, the film could finally go on floors in the second half of 2026. Creatively, everything is in place, and it’s now about managing schedules. Farhan has started discussions with all three actresses and is hopeful their timelines can align. Everyone is keen, it’s just about finding that common window.”

Earlier, Farhan Akhtar also spoke about the delay in an interview with The Hindu. He said, “The astronomy of it is all messed up: my rahu is in my ketu (laughs). Unfortunately, it will take more time. I am optimistic that it will happen when it has to happen. There is a time for everything. I don’t want to stress out over this one project. I have other things to do (like Don 3 with Ranveer Singh).”

For now, there is no official confirmation from the makers. Still, with Don 3 on hold and fresh discussions around Jee Le Zaraa, fans are hopeful that the long-delayed film may finally move closer to production.
