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.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
