Noida accidents

The Noida authority has reportedly formulated a plan to minimize the risk of accidents at 15 high-risk spots. The authority has allocated a budget of Rs 5.4 crore for the project. Speaking to the media, officials stated that the Noida Authority would soon issue tenders to hire contractors for work suggested by a private consultant at each of these 15 black spots. 

Previously, the traffic police in Noida identified and shared a list of 15 critical intersections with the Noida Authority, after analyzing road accidents between 2020 and 2022. Later, a private consultant was employed to carry out a detailed survey of each spot, in addition to shedding light on specific issues and suggesting required changes.

According to reports, the 15 black spots are intersections at Sector 21-25, Rajnigandha Mahamaya, Sector 37, GIP Sector 18, Hajipur, Sector 93, Sector 110, Mamura, ABCD Chowk, Chilla Border, DND Border, Phool Mandi, Nagla Bus Stop, and Sector 63 Block A. 

Reports further claimed that the survey by the assigned private consultant revealed specific issues plaguing the black spots. These issues include geometric design problems, inadequate access control, lack of pedestrian crossings and insufficient signage. The consultant also cited examples of the unchanneled traffic merges at Chilla border intersection between Delhi and Noida that often leads to accidents. The similar situation also rises in the unchanneled traffic diverges at the DND border intersection that results in accidents.

Reportedly, the risks in these black spots are higher due to lack of warning and indication signs. The Rajnigandha Chowk which is situated near Sector 16 metro station faces issues due to geometric design and insufficient access control. Moreover, inadequate traffic signage also compounds the problem. Reports further claim that at Mahamaya Chowk along the Noida Expressway, unchanneled traffic merges due to limited weaving space and inadequate traffic signage, which poses a threat. 

Additionally, the Sector 37 intersection near the Botanical Garden metro station lacks pedestrian crossing and traffic calming measures, leading to conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. The GIP, Sector 18 intersection also suffers from inadequate pedestrian infrastructure and traffic calming measures, which often results in conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, especially in heavy traffic conditions.

Moreover, the consultant also underlined another critical intersection, namely the ABCD Chowk near Shatabdi Rail Vihar  in Sector 62, that confronted issues with its geometric designs and unsystematic water pipe placement, thereby creating hazardous conditions. The private consultant also offered three packages, each focusing on correcting five black spots. The three packages are design improvements, enhanced access control and installing appropriate traffic signage at the respective intersections. The Noida Authority assured that they will hire contractors to execute the suggestion soon.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a veiled dig at Rahul Gandhi on Thursday. He was addressing an election rally in Gujarat’s Anand where PM Modi said, Congress is dying here and Pakistanis are crying. He further added that Pakistani leaders want to make shehzada of Congress the prime minister of India.

He said everyone should look at the coincidence that today the Congress is getting weak in India and Pakistani leaders at the same time are praying for the grand old party. PM Modi said Pakistan is eager to make the prince the Prime Minister and everyone knows that the Congress is a fan of Pakistan. The prime minister further added that the partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed.

A few days earlier Pakistani leader Chaudhary Fawad Hussain had shared a video on X which featured Rahul Gandhi, in which the Congress leader is seen targetting the BJP and PM Modi. In the video shared by the former Pakistan minister, rahul Gandhi can be seen attacking the BJP government over the invitees at Ram Mandir’s Pran Pratishtha ceremony.

The edited video shows Rahul Gandhi speaking about the Ram Mandir’s inauguration and charging the BJP government of sidelining the interests of the poor and youth.  PM Modi further added at the Anand rally that Congress Shahzade is dancing around with the Constitution on their foreheads. But for 75 years, this did not apply to all parts of Hindustan. The Constitution was not applicable in Kashmir, where Article 370 was like a wall that the BJP government had demolished.

The Prime Minister said it is his guarantee that he will work 24×7 to make India a developed country by 2047. He pointed out that in the last 10 years, the BJP government has given tap water connections to 14 crore houses, while the Congress gave just 3 crore houses in 60 years.

Farooq Abdullah, Jammu and Kashmir’s National Conference President said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was trying to divide the country over religion. He also said that those who will vote for them must prepare for hell. Farooq Abdullah said Muslims cannot snatch away the rights of others.

Farooq Abdullah also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government a threat to the survival of the country. Omar Abdullah, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister cautioned the people not to divide this country on the basis of religion, otherwise a storm will unleash making the survival of the nation difficult. He said it is better to talk about uniting the country, instead of dividing its people.

He was addressing an election rally in Thanamandi area of the Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir. The Anantnag parliamentary constituency will go for elections on May 25. Faroukh Abdullah reacted to PM Modi’s remark that the Congress will redistribute people’s money and property to Muslims if voted to power and said Muslims respect all religions. He said that they are Muslims and Allah has told them to respect other religions. He further added that a Muslim cannot snatch anyone’s right.

He remembered an incident when former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi once stopped his car in Pulwama and assured a poor Hindu woman that he would give her a mangalsutra as she could not afford it. Farooq Abdullah said those who were against the INDIA bloc are against the nation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier sparked a controversy last month as he commented that the Congress would take away the hard-earned money of the masses and distribute them among infiltrators and those with many children.  Speaking at a rally today, the Prime Minister took a jibe at the Congress and said the governments in the past were not able to implement the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir. He was referring to the revocation of Article 370.
