After delay, light at the end of Pragati Maidan tunnel delhi news

After delay, light at the end of Pragati Maidan tunnel
Work on the final underpass on Bhairon Marg near Pragati Maidan has progressed.

New Delhi: The Public Works Department (PWD) has set a deadline of February 2027 to complete the construction of the much-delayed Bhairon Marg underpass – a vital part of the Pragati Maidan Integrated Transit Corridor.PWD Minister Parvesh Verma has said that the “box issue” has almost been resolved and the agency will complete the project by next February. He said that Railways has given in-principle approval to stop train movement for a few days, after which work on this section will proceed.The issue at Pragati Maidan Underpass No. 5 includes structural failures: precast concrete boxes pushed under active railway lines through the “box-pushing” method in 2023 sank, broke and stopped due to severe water leakage leading to flooding in the Yamuna.The underpass is designed to provide signal-free connectivity between Sarai Kale Khan and Mathura Road. It aims to reduce transit time by reducing heavy traffic at ITO intersection and surrounding areas and improve overall traffic flow between East, Central and South-East Delhi, including major stretches near ITO, Rajghat and Laxmi Nagar. Once completed, it will allow commuters to bypass the congested Ring Road-Bhairon Marg junction.“It is set to ease travel for daily commuters from Noida and Central Delhi who use the Ring Road and Mathura Road corridors,” an official said.Officials said that since this stretch passes directly under operational railway tracks, the PWD had requested to stop train movement to prevent sinking of concrete boxes under the railway lines and also because intensive ground stabilization work cannot be carried out while trains are running.The transit corridor project, slated to be inaugurated in June 2022, is a 1.36 km long, six-lane main tunnel designed to decongest central Delhi by connecting Mathura Road to Ring Road. It has six underground underpasses: four on Mathura Road, one on Bhairon Marg and another connecting Bhairon Marg to Ring Road. Underpass No. 5, also known as Bhairon Marg-Ring Road Underpass, is the only incomplete part of the project.PWD has been struggling to fully operationalize the Bhairon Marg underpass for more than three years. However, once the Railways gives its permission, the PWD hopes to complete it by next February, Verma said.The project, funded by the Central Government, was built at a cost of over Rs 920 crore. It also aims to provide hassle-free and seamless access to the new world-class exhibition and convention center at Pragati Maidan, allowing easy participation of exhibitors and visitors.The main tunnel connects the Ring Road to India Gate via Purana Qila Road and passes through Pragati Maidan. The six-lane divided tunnel serves several purposes, including allowing access to Pragati Maidan’s vast basement parking.

Return of ‘Ghost Lake’: California’s largest lost body of water resurfaces after 130 years world News

'Ghost Lake' returns: California's largest lost body of water resurfaces after 130 years

Tulare Lake, once known as Pashi by the Tachi Yokut tribe, has made a stunning comeback. This rare phenomenon shows how a long-lost terminal lake can reclaim its original basin. It used to be the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi until it was drained for farming purposes in the late 1800s. However, in 2023, extreme weather and record snowfall in the Sierra Nevada refilled the basin, covering more than 100,000 acres. The event highlights California’s unpredictable water cycles and points to the limits of modern flood control. In addition to impacting the Central Valley’s economy, the lake’s return has promoted ecological revival, attracted many migratory birds and renewed indigenous cultural areas.

California’s largest lost water reservoir resurfaces

According to the California Department of Water Resources, the Tulare Lake Basin is a terminal sink for the Kings, Kaweah, Tule, and White rivers. While it was considered ‘extinct’ due to 20th century water diversions and land reclamation for farming, the basin remains a natural topographic depression. In 2023, the sheer volume of runoff from the Sierra Nevada exceeded the capacity of man-made canals and dams, causing water to follow its natural gravity-driven path back into the ‘ghost lake’.

how 12 atmospheric rivers A lost lake revived

Re-emergence was promoted by a ‘Big Fill’ event caused by a series of more than 12 atmospheric rivers. As the California Department of Water Resources reported, these storms left snow accumulations in the southern Sierra Nevada that were nearly 300 percent of the normal average. As this record snowpack melted, it overwhelmed the Kings River and Tule River watersheds, causing sustained flooding of agricultural areas downstream of Tulare Lake.

How a dry basin reactivated its biological cycle

Despite being a disaster for local infrastructure, the revived lake immediately served as an important stop on the Pacific Flyway. Ornithological observations recorded thousands of waterbirds, including American avocets, black-necked stilts, and various duck species, nesting in the newly formed wetlands. This rapid colonization demonstrates the ‘ecological memory’ of the landscape, where dormant seeds and biological cycles are reactivated when flooded.

existence of indigenous Pashi

For the Tachi Yokut tribe, the return of the lake is the restoration of Pashi. Research indicates that the lake was the center of the region’s biodiversity and indigenous livelihoods for centuries before the lake was diverted. The resurgence has allowed tribal members to perform traditional ceremonies on the water for the first time in generations, emphasizing that ‘the lake never died,’ but was only suppressed by industrial engineering.

Strait of Hormuz technically open, but not operational: National shipowners’ body chief india news

Hormuz Jolt: India's grand plan to avoid global chokepoint; Future Proofing Oil, Business

New Delhi: The Strait of Hormuz is technically open, but commercial shipping is far from normal, according to Anil Deoli, chief executive of the Mumbai-based Indian National Shipowners Association, a nearly century-old body that speaks for the country’s shipping industry.The risk is high as 14 Indian ships are stuck in the chokepoint, which carries half of India’s crude oil and most of its LPG. And Deoli said the earlier attacks on Indian ships by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were bound to create a sense of hesitation among sailors.

Hormuz Jolt: India’s grand plan to avoid global chokepoint; Future Proofing Oil, Business

The blockade of Iran continues despite a fragile ceasefire, while the US on Wednesday halted a three-day naval mission to open the Strait of Hormuz.“Technically, Hormuz is open. Ships are transiting, but for commercial traffic. The risks are still very high,” Deoli said. times of India On Wednesday. Before the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran in late February, thousands of ships passed through the strait each month. But by April, crossings fell to barely 5%.Ships stuck in the strait currently avoid a lethal combination of sanctions, IRGC patrols and naval escorts.Deoli said, “We understand that some neutral-flag ships are transiting with Iran’s tacit permission or US protection”, but “normal traffic” has stopped.The ships that are moving are doing so on borrowed time and on borrowed trust – ships from countries that Iran considers “friends,” Chinese-flagged bulk carriers broadcasting their ownership over open radio, Pakistani ships, neutral-flagged tankers carrying cargo to neutral countries, including India. As of Monday, US-flagged commercial ships had also stayed away. And until recently, not a single American-flagged ship had crossed it.That changed on May 4 when two U.S.-flagged merchant ships transited Hormuz amid the Iranian blockade under the escort of a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer as part of Washington’s Project Freedom.When the first Indian ship came out, then the second, sixth, seventh, eighth – confidence was growing. Then, on April 18, two Indian-flagged ships were fired upon by IRGC boats: VLCC Sanmar Herald (2 million barrels of Iraqi crude) and bulk carrier Jag Arnav. An audio captured the Sanmar Herald’s radio plea: “Sipah Navy! You cleared – I’m second on your list. Now you’re firing! Let me back!”The incident prompted India to raise the matter with the Iranian ambassador regarding the safety of its sailors, but the trust of Indian sailors – already fragile – was broken.“‘You cleaned me out yourself,’ the captain was heard saying to the Iranians over the radio. It tells you the level of uncertainty that sailors on ships passing through the strait are dealing with,” Deoli said.A few weeks ago, a Hong Kong-bound tanker sank after attempting a surreptitious transit – collided and burst into flames – after the IRGC warned all traffic about mined waters.There was a brief success over the weekend. Marshall Islands-flagged MT Sarva Shakti, carrying 46,313 tonnes of LPG for Indian Oil Corporation and manned by 18 Indians, transited the strait on 2 May and is expected to reach Visakhapatnam by 13 May. This is the first tanker tied to India after the collapse of peace talks in Islamabad on April 13 and the subsequent nearly two weeks of severe disruption caused by the US naval blockade around Iranian ports.During the height of hostilities last month, Gulf port operations also slowed dramatically. Shipping supplies, food distribution and basic services for Indian sailors and crew members were disrupted in several hubs, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait. That situation has since stabilized, Deoli said.India has so far facilitated the movement of eight LPG ships through the strait during the crisis with diplomatic engagement and close coordination between Iranian and Indian government agencies, naval authorities and maritime bodies. Indian flagged ships are currently operating strictly under compliance protocols with government instructions and restrictions.NUSI and the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) have advised Indian personnel in the region to maintain strict vigilance in Iranian waters and the Strait of Hormuz, avoid unnecessary shore departures, keep communication systems operational and regularly monitor advisories issued by Indian authorities.Since shipowners pay premiums to keep crew on board, war-risk insurance costs have increased sharply by as much as 70% – adding up to millions of dollars in additional costs per voyage.The crisis is becoming financially painful for Indian shipowners, especially those with fixed-term contracts.

US closes Peshawar Consulate despite soft talks on Pakistan

US closes Peshawar Consulate despite soft talks on Pakistan

TOI correspondent from Washington: The US State Department on Monday announced the closure of its embassy in Peshawar, a move that underscores a surprising contradiction in the Trump administration’s Pakistan policy: warm rhetoric and praise at the top, but a steady decline in diplomatic infrastructure on the ground.The decision, framed by officials as a matter of “security” and “efficient resource management,” would transfer responsibility for the engagement in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, about 114 miles away. The closing comes as Trump has publicly praised Pakistan’s leadership, paying unusual praise to the country’s “field marshal” (sic), whom Trump has liked for his help as a mediator with Tehran. The State Department has offered a familiar quartet of justifications for closing the Peshawar Consulate: cost savings, restructuring, changes in logistical needs, and security concerns. Officials also point to the post’s diminished strategic role since the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, when Peshawar served as a major logistics hub. Security concerns have also been cited, with recent unrest in the area increasing the risk to personnel. The Peshawar shutdown is the first permanent closure of a foreign US diplomatic mission in Trump’s second term. In the Middle East and South Asia, several US consulates have temporarily suspended operations amid regional tensions, particularly military tensions involving Iran, and following a “worldwide caution” advisory issued earlier this year. Meanwhile, visa services have been cut at many posts under the extended restrictions and “extreme scrutiny” policies.Behind these operational changes lies a more profound change: the systematic downsizing of America’s diplomatic corps. More than 200 career diplomats, including about 246 foreign service officers, were laid off on Monday, in the latest phase of sweeping “reductions in force”. The cuts have disproportionately targeted refugee, human rights, and democracy promotion bureaus. The administration justified this by openly arguing that such offices were “prone to ideological capture”, indicating a deliberate move away from the traditional pillars of American diplomacy.Adding to the turmoil has been the dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), long a cornerstone of American soft power. With its functions cut or absorbed, many of the State Department’s roles have been deemed redundant.Employees reportedly arrived at work in recent days under instructions to bring passports and government equipment, preparing them to surrender at short notice – a process that created what one insider called “an atmosphere of quiet panic”.The downsizing coincides with a significant shift in the way the administration conducts high-level diplomacy. Rather than relying primarily on career diplomats and subject-matter experts, major negotiations—particularly those involving Iran’s nuclear program—are increasingly being handled by political loyalists and unofficial messengers, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.Neither has formal diplomatic training or deep technical expertise in nuclear nonproliferation, an area that typically requires years of specialized experience.At the top of the diplomatic hierarchy, Marco Rubio is managing an unusually broad portfolio. In addition to serving as Secretary of State, she has been tasked with multiple overlapping roles in national security and policy coordination, raising questions about the administration’s bandwidth and strategic coherence. On Tuesday, he stood in for White House spokeswoman Carolyn Levitt, who is on maternity leave. In a raucous briefing, there was no pregnant interruption. “This is chaos, folks,” Rubio said at one point while speaking to the noisy press.
