Commuters caught in a massive traffic jam at Uppal X roads amid ongoing elevated corridor works. | Photo Credit: G. RAMAKRISHNA Traffic diversions triggered by the ongoing Uppal–Narapally elevated corridor works are increasingly spilling into colony roads and residential lanes, slowing commutes and affecting businesses across Uppal X roads and surrounding areas. What was once a five-minute commute between Uppal and Boduppal has now turned into a slow crawl for many residents as vehicles heading towards Hyderabad–Warangal highway are being rerouted through internal roads and alternative corridors. Locals reported congestion and delays during unexpected hours. L. Niharika, a commuter travelling from Ramanthapur towards Turkayamjal, said traffic has started building up well before peak office hours. “Even at around 6 a.m., there was heavy traffic towards Tarnaka and Nagole. Taking a u-turn was extremely choked because of the traffic volume. It took me over 10 minutes to cross a stretch that would otherwise take four or five minutes even during peak hours,” she said. The ongoing works have led to a three-way diversion system around Uppal …

Monalisa Baruah’s Masor Tenga Anchors a North Eastern Dream in Goa

Monalisa Baruah’s Masor Tenga Anchors a North Eastern Dream in Goa

“Food has always been important in my family”, says Monalisa. Her lineage is steeped in culinary traditions. Her parents ran a restaurant 35 years ago; her grandmother had her own food stall; her aunt ran a cafe long before cafes were fashionable. “My grandma was known for her breads,” she smiles. “I grew up in this background, just like how my daughter is growing up in a restaurant now.” Planning meals was a ritual for the couple. “Saurav and I would plan the menu a month in advance if someone was visiting us,” she laughs. “We both love cooking. We even fight about who gets to cook.” When the couple first moved to Goa over a decade ago, they stumbled upon a space that felt perfect. But at the time, they had no capital. “I told the owner I had no money. He said, ‘I have the money. Let’s be partners.’ And so, the foundation of Soul Chef was laid in 2015.”  As they began building Soul Chef, they quickly realised that Goa was not …

The extraordinary journey of EIR, eastern India’s first railway| India News

New Delhi, On August 15, 1854, a five-coach train pulled by a British-made locomotive left Howrah at 8:30 am for Hooghly without any fanfare signalling an engineering triumph and the beginning of eastern India’s first railway. Triumphs and tragedies: The extraordinary journey of EIR, eastern India’s first railway However, this historic milestone achieved by the then-East Indian Railway , whose massive network would eventually reach Delhi by the 1860s, was preceded by a series of unfortunate events that delayed its arrival on the country’s landscape and in people’s consciousness. A new book on the birth and evolution of the EIR and the East India Railway Company that established it, based on multiple 19th-century-era accounts drawn from a range of archives, has endeavoured to offer an “unbiased narrative” of this railway and the men who built it, brick by brick and steel by steel. “Before the inaugural run, the EIR had already stirred public curiosity in Bengal with its first locomotive-only trial on June 29, 1854, from Howrah to Pandooah, followed by an experimental run on …
