MMRDA is building a ‘Shunya (zero) bridge' as part of an under-construction elevated metro railway line — a 23.5-km corridor from D.N. Nagar to Mandale connecting eastern and western suburbs.
The sea link will connect Versova, a western suburb of Mumbai, to Virar, fast-growing, dense residential hub. When it was first conceived in 2018, it was estimated to cost Rs 30,000 crore.
Proponents of the Rs 12,721-crore coastal road project call it a ‘temporary’ disturbance that would ‘transform’ Worli sea face and parts of Marine Drive.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
