Sarai Kale Khan set to enter faster lane Times of India



NEW DELHI: PWD has started work of blacktopping the three-lane, second flyover near Sarai Kale Khan ISBT.

Officials said that more than 95% of the civil work is complete.

"We have started blacktopping of the flyover. Most of the civil and electrical work is complete and it is just the miscellaneous work that is left. We are confident of opening it soon to the public," a PWD official said.

In August, PWD minister Atishi had given an ultimatum to officials to complete the work by September. The construction of the flyover will allow smooth traffic flow on Ring Road, benefiting hundreds of thousands of commuters who drive from ITO to Ashram daily.

Construction of the flyover was started around July last year, with a deadline of one year, but there was a delay. Officials said as soon as the blacktopping is done, they will send a proposal for opening the flyover.

Soon the traffic load at Sarai Kale Khan will increase due to the construction of the Rapid Rail Transit System. The area already has a railway station, metro station and an ISBT. Sarai Kale Khan will develop as a critical transport hub, thus officials must ensure that flyover construction is completed as quickly as possible.

This 643-metre, three-lane flyover being built from ITO to Ashram will create a signal-free corridor on Ring Road, saving time and reducing fuel consumption for commuters.

Currently, there is an existing flyover for traffic from Ashram to ITO, but the opposite direction, from ITO to Ashram, cars have to stop at a traffic signal at this T-Junction, causing congestion. After the completion of this flyover, commuters won't face the jam.

The project envisages giving an easy route to people travelling from Noida and Ghaziabad.

The flyover will come up alongside the existing one, which provides connectivity from Ashram to ITO. In June last year, the project got the approval of the Delhi Urban Arts Commission and UTTIPEC and the tender work was awarded.

At the diverging point on the Ring Road which gives way towards the Barapullah elevated corridor, there is already a traffic slowdown due to construction of a pillar of the rapid rail.

According to the government, the flyover construction will reduce 5 tonnes of CO2 emissions daily, and Rs 19 crore will be saved annually.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn...
