Going through their Instagrams and dissecting their ‘statements’ is not the astute political commentary you think it is—it is time for us to back off from targeting 20-year-olds.
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
In yearly losses of metro,
How come surat has loss when currently metro is being built. There is error in it. I think only ahmedabad has loss, not surat.
Very large sums are being invested in the Metro and other components of Bombay’s infrastructure. Sincerely hope they will prove to be sound investments.
First CMD of Jaipur Metro was Nihal Chand Goel. Out of all candidates selected by him, Reshma Khan, d/o RPSC Chairman Habib Khan Goran (accused of Rajasthan Judicial Service Exam paper leak) was appointed as Legal Manager out of hundreds of candidates after oral interview (she soon left to become a Judge). This is not related to above news article, the girl must have been extremely hardworking, but in media all sort of reports were published. Similarly, route of Jaipur metro is such that it is of no use to commoners and this is probably due to involvement of high profile people as metro route affects land prices and value of property. Currently Jaipur Metro is a white elephant which neither connects hospitals, universities and markets nor other tourist spots. Delhi-Gurgaon-Noida have, in contrast, such a great connectivity that you don’t need a taxi when visiting Delhi NCR. Probably the rich and powerful in Rajasthan are too indifferent towards the middle class. Further, would any influential person want his royal palace, bungalow, hotel, school or resort being hidden behind a conjested metro station? Otherwise what could be the reason behind almost zero-utility connectivity? Jaipur Metro doesn’t even connect Airport, University, SMS Hospital, Railway Station and Sindhi camp bus stop. Nor other nearby and distant towns of Jaipur / Rajasthan – be it Bagru (Manipal University, Laxmipat University, NRI School, etc), Kanota, Chomu, Sikar, Kishangarh, Jhunjhunu, Samode, Kuchaman, Khatushyam, Salasar, Churu, etc. If government babus, judges and netas are stripped off their priviliges of having sarkari gadi, maybe we will have better metro connectivity. Kindly forgive me for my frustrated thought process, i apologise in advance.
This article is long winded and seems to make the same point repeatedly with little in way of contrast. It would have been more interesting to read about what people thought about nascent metro projects in Paris, New York or any others where metros were built in the early 1900s. The main takeaway for the Jaipur metro seems that it hasn’t connected the high traffic areas yet. Whether or not this is planned would also have been relevant information here.
