Lucknow Metro inaugurated, to be opened officially for public tomorrow

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Metro corridor will cover a distance of 8.5 km from Transport Nagar to Charbagh over eight elevated stations; train services to be operational between 6 am and 10 pm daily

The Uttar Pradesh Government, on Tuesday, inaugurated the first phase of the Lucknow Metro line which will link Transport Nagar and Charbagh through eight elevated stations spread across an 8.5 kilometer stretch.

Union home minister and Lucknow MP Rajnath Singh along with Uttar Pradesh Governor Ram Naik and chief minister Yogi Adityanath flagged off the maiden run of the Lucknow Metro.

The train services will be thrown open to the public from Wednesday. The Metro services will be operational between 6 am and 10 pmdaily.

The first phase of the Lucknow Metro, covering the distance between Transport Nagar and Charbagh took a little over three years to be completed. Addressing the inauguration ceremony, chief minister Adityanath said that more cities across the state will soon be covered under the Metro project.

Kumar Keshav, Managing Director, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) told media persons in Lucknow that the Transport Nagar-Charbagh Metro service is part of a 23 km North-South Metro corridor which is being executed by the LMRC from Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport to Munshipulia. The proposed East-West corridor, which is 11 km-long is likely to be completed by April 2019, Keshav informed.

Lucknow Metro inauguralThe foundation stone for the Lucknow Metro project was laid by Adityanath’s predecessor, Akhilesh Yadav on March 4, 2014 and though the trial run of the Metro train was conducted in December 2016, the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) had taken over nine months to clear the file (on August 14), robbing the Samajwadi Party a chance to showcase the multi-crore-rupee public transport service as its achievement.

Expectedly then, in the run up to Tuesday’s inauguration, as Adityanath sought to appropriate credit for the Metro services, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav wasn’t too happy.

In a televised commercial that began airing over the past few day, Adityanath had asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of launching the Lucknow Metro services was finally being realised. The commercial forced Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav to hit back at the state government through micro-blogging site Twitter.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The

Anna University sexual assault case: BJP shares accused photo with Udhayanidhi Stalin, DMK responds

Anna University sexual assault case: BJP shares accused photo with Udhayanidhi Stalin, DMK responds

The BJP on Thursday alleged that the accused arrested for the alleged sexual assault of a 19-year-old Anna University student in Chennai is a repeat offender and a DMK functionary.

37-year-old Gnanasekaran of Kottur, who ran a biryani stall near the Anna University campus, was arrested by the Tamil Nadu Police. Reportedly, the accused entered the university campus, thrashed the second-year engineering student’s male friend, and then dragged her into a bush before sexually assaulting her.

This incident taking place inside the campus of a renowned university has sparked a debate, protest, and a political tussle over the safety of women in the state. Taking to X, BJP state president K Annamalai shared a picture of deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin and other DMK leaders with the alleged accused. He claimed that a clear pattern emerges from the number of such cases in the past, noting that a criminal gets closely linked to local DMK functionaries and then becomes a member of the party.

He further said that all the cases registered against the accused get suppressed, and he gets leeway by not being categorised as a history-sheeter or kept on the watchlist of the local police station.

K Annamalai also alleged that police do not investigate the existing cases against him due to the pressure from the local DMK leaders and ministers, which allows him to commit further crimes. He further questioned how long should the people of Tamil Nadu put up to this, and will MK Stalin ever take responsibility.

Reacting to the allegation, DMK spokesperson A Saravanan told a news publication that a picture with the party leader does not imply culpability of the party. He added that the accused has been arrested, and he cannot escape justice from the DMK government.

Later, in a social media post, Saravanan said that no matter who did the wrong, the Tamil Nadu police will take action. He claimed that those who cannot shake the DMK politically continue to spread false allegations that law and order have deteriorated.

Border Security Force (BSF) personnel shot and killed an individual attempting to cross the India-Pakistan border in the Ganganagar district of Rajasthan late on Tuesday, according to police.

Jitendra Kumar, the station house officer at Kesrisinghpur police station, stated that the man was trying to breach the barbed wire fence when he was spotted by BSF personnel. “They advised him to leave the area, but when he continued to advance, the BSF personnel shot him,” said the SHO.

Sriganganagar Superintendent of Police Gaurav Yadav confirmed that the suspect was allegedly trying to enter Indian territory around midnight on December 24, 2024. Despite warnings from the BSF soldiers, he did not heed their calls, which resulted in the shooting.

The incident occurred near a village in the Kesarisinghpur area. Items recovered from the intruder included Pakistani currency notes, a cigarette packet, an identity card, and other belongings. Authorities are currently gathering more information about him.

Ongoing discussions are taking place between the armed forces and police officers regarding the incident. An FIR has been filed that includes charges of trespassing and violations of the Passports Act and the Foreigners Act, according to Kumar. “We are investigating the case under these acts,” he added.

This incident is one of several similar occurrences along the border. In August, the BSF apprehended an intruder named Jagsi Kohli, who had entered about 15 kilometers into Indian territory in Barmer after locals alerted authorities that he was asking for directions to Tharparkar, a district in Pakistan’s Sindh province.

In March of this year, another person attempting to cross the border in Ganganagar was shot by BSF personnel. There have been additional incidents reported in October 2022 and twice in March 2021, all resulting in fatalities among the intruders.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP chief J.P. Nadda and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu among leaders of the NDA met in New Delhi on Wednesday to discuss different issues including Shah’s comment on BR Ambedkar days ago in Rajya Sabha.

In attendance, apart from Shah, Nadda and Naidu, JD-U leader and Union minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Apna Dal (S) president and Union minister Anupriya Patel, as well as JD (S) leader and Union minister H.D. Kumaraswamy were present.

Also present were Jitan Ram Manjhi, leader of Bihar’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (S) and a minister in the Modi government, Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) president Upendra Kushwaha, a Rajya Sabha MP, and Thushar Vellappally, president of Bharath Dharma Jana Sena.

While the specific agenda of the meeting was not officially disclosed, sources indicated that discussions revolved around good governance and various political issues—principles that were central to Vajpayee’s tenure as Prime Minister. The alliance had decided to convene on the birthday of the late BJP leader, noted for successfully leading the first coalition government to complete its term.

Following the meeting, Nadda shared on X, “Attended the NDA leaders’ meeting in New Delhi today. Under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi, India is achieving unprecedented milestones and has positioned itself as a global superpower. The NDA government remains committed to realizing the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’, ensuring a brighter and more prosperous future for all.”

Sanjay Nishad, chief of the NISHAD Party in Uttar Pradesh, described the meeting as “informal” and focused on Vajpayee’s legacy. He emphasised the importance of unity among all alliance members heading into future elections, mentioning that they congratulated the BJP leaders for their electoral victories in Haryana and Maharashtra.

Nishad further outlined that the meeting addressed coalition strategies to ensure that Prime Minister Modi’s initiatives effectively reach the populace and that electoral promises are fulfilled. He raised the topic of providing reservations for the fishing community, stating, “I presented evidence on this issue, as it was a poll promise. They will follow up with us next week to discuss it.”

Responding to inquiries about whether Amit Shah’s controversial remarks on Ambedkar were discussed, Nishad said, “We are here for the welfare of the people. Our energy should focus on achieving success in that area, rather than engaging with negativity from opposition parties.”

The NDA meeting underscores the alliance’s commitment to the proposed simultaneous elections, with all members backing the initiative. A Joint Committee of Parliament, established to review two bills related to simultaneous polls, is set to convene on January 8.
