PUNE: The ambitious 1,386-kilometer Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, one of India’s largest infrastructure projects with an estimated cost of ₹1.04 lakh crore, has suffered significant delays due to underperformance in key sections.

Speculations Rise on Priyanka Gandhi’s Leadership Role; Upendra Kushwaha Questions Rahul Gandhi’s Credibility

PATNA: Speculation over Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi taking on a major leadership role within the party in 2026 has created waves across Bihar’s political landscape. While party insiders hint at an expanded and strategic responsibility for Priyanka, opposition leaders are portraying this as a sign of Rahul Gandhi’s alleged leadership failure. Priyanka Gandhi Could Take on a Key RoleCurrently serving as General Secretary without a specific portfolio, Priyanka Gandhi had her responsibility for Uttar Pradesh withdrawn after the party’s defeat in the 2022 assembly elections. According to sources, she is now being considered for a new, influential position—possibly as the head of the Campaign Committee or the Election Management Committee—rather than being restricted to a singl...

MP Officials Label 17-Acre Landowner as ‘Worker’; Authorities Ordered Action

Bhopal: A shocking case of administrative malpractice has surfaced in Saunsar, Madhya Pradesh, where a landowner with 17 acres of fertile land was falsely classified as a worker to avail benefits under the Sambal Scheme. Following the revelation, the Labour Secretary has directed strict action against the negligent officials involved. ‘Rich Worker’ Scandal Under the Sambal Scheme, only those with less than 1 hectare (≈2.5 acres) of land are eligible for government assistance. However, Ramshankar Gavnekar, a resident of Saunsar, managed to register as a landless worker despite owning 17 acres. The deception escalated when he lodged a complaint on the CM Helpline to claim ₹2 lakh in government aid following the death of Sanju Gavnekar, assuming pressure tactics would force the administ...

High Security Number Plates: Over 1.6 Million Vehicles in Pune Still Without HSRP as Deadline Nears

As the countdown to the December 31 deadline begins, Maharashtra’s drive to install High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on older vehicles is facing serious challenges—particularly in Pune. Despite repeated extensions, a staggering 1.6 million vehicles in Pune alone are still without HSRP, raising concerns over compliance and enforcement. Low Compliance Despite Multiple Extensions According to transport department data, Pune has nearly 2.6 million vehicles that are required to install HSRP. However, so far, only 10 million vehicle owners have registered for the plates, and just around 800,000 vehicles have actually had the plates installed. Even more worrying is the trend in December: only 50,000 vehicle owners registered for HSRP in the entire month, indicating poor public re...
