“I earnestly request the central and state home ministers to take the sternest action against such outfits that even the phonetic sound of ‘PA’ will not be uttered from them. If not, then our country’s Hindus will not take it lying down. I don’t wish to go into the details of what may happen,” he added.

“If the Hindus of Hindustan and our Marathis Hindus decide to take the matter in their hands, then what these scoundrel will face? Don’t make me say it here!

While the HMRL encouraged commuters to use the Metro Rail on Sept 22 in order to give their cars a day’s break, outraged Metro Rail users asked that the HMRL increase coaches.

HYDERABAD: The World Car Free Day is observed annually on September 22 and promotes car-free days in cities all around the world. This year, the Hyderabad Metro Rail also jumped on board, promoting the use of metro trains as an alternative to driving cars around, entirely oblivious to the reality that most metro trains run at capacity and are constantly crowded with people squabbling for space.

The Hyderabad Metro Rail tweeted, “Hiya Hyderabad, Let’s give your automobiles a day’s relaxation on the event of World Automotive Free Day” and shared a picture inviting the town commuters to make use of the metro, which sparked backlash from the commuters.

Whereas the Hyderabad Metro Rail Restricted (HMRL) inspired commuters to make use of the Metro Rail on September 22 so as to give their automobiles a day’s break, outraged Metro Rail customers requested that the HMRL improve coaches, no less than throughout peak hours, as the vast majority of metro trains are already full of passengers.

Sharada, a daily Metro Rail consumer who works for an MNC in Raidurgam, said, “All of the coaches, together with two to 3 coaches allotted for ladies, are already working at most occupancy throughout peak hours. If the Metro Rail authorities are asking us to take the metro on particular dates equivalent to ‘World Automotive Free Day’, they need to achieve this solely after growing the variety of coaches.”

Hyderabad: In a major decision that could bring in relief for students and parents, the Telangana Admission and Fee Regulatory Committee (TAFRC) slashed the fee for several private engineering colleges in the State by revising its earlier fee structure that was fixed in July.

This year, the TAFRC has fixed a fee of Rs.1.60 lakh per annum for the MGIT, which is highest among all private engineering colleges. This college has retained its fee structure as fixed in July. Similarly, the CBIT which earlier got the highest fee structure i.e., Rs.1.73 lakh per annum has now got a fee of Rs.1.12 lakh per annum.

On the other hand, the minimum fee has gone up from Rs.35,000 per annum in 2019 to Rs.45,000 per annum now. Around 12 engineering colleges received fees over Rs.1 lakh per annum and majority colleges have a fee more than the minimum fee. This new fee structure will be applicable for the next three-year block period starting academic year 2022-23.

As fee revision was due for the next three-year block period this year, the TAFRC had invited applications from private colleges. A fee of Rs.1.73 lakh per annum for the CBIT was fixed in July this year. Likewise, close to 30 colleges got their revised over Rs.1 lakh per annum.

However, this revised fee was not notified and the Committee had decided to retain the existing fee for the present academic year given the hardships faced by students and parents due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the Committee decided on retaining the earlier fee structure, 79 private engineering colleges approached theHigh Court which passed an interim order allowing them to collect the enhanced fee. However, it asked the colleges to refund the differential amount if the fee notified by the TAFRC was less than the amount collected from students.

With some colleges approaching the Committee seeking a review on the fee fixed, the TAFRC, while reviewing audit reports submitted by managements, has found several discrepancies. Following which the Committee had called around 90 colleges for personal hearings in which the fee for several colleges was reduced compared to the fee fixed in July, while for some earlier fee was retained.

“The new fee structure will be placed before the TAFRC committee meeting which is scheduled for Saturday and later it will be sent to the State government for issuance of order,” an official said.

Bhutan has re-opened its borders for international tourists after over two and half years following the COVID-19 pandemic. The reopening has come with a revised tourism levy called the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF).

The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan Friday finally opened its borders to international tourists, including those from India, after being closed for two and a half years due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Bhutan’s Ambassador to India, Major General Vetsop Namgyel said fully-vaccinated travellers are now welcome and tourists would no longer be required to be quarantined upon arrival.
Namgyel said the strict measures adopted by the Bhutanese government during the pandemic helped the country save lives.
We took two and a half years to open our international borders, as our priority during the pandemic was to prevent the loss of lives. So we took very stringent measures. This was very effective as Bhutan hardly had any fatalities from Covid-19,” the Bhutanese Ambassador stated.

As of today, there will be no more quarantine for people coming to Bhutan. There will be no test on arrival. Only vaccine certificate needs to be shown,” he added.
The envoy said there will be a daily fee for tourists to enter Bhutan. Namgyel said the Bhutanese government’s tourism council has fixed a fee of Rs 1,200 per day for Indians. For other international tourists, the fee is USD 200 per day.
“The tourism council did a review of policies to find out if we have to keep Bhutan as a high or low volume tourist destination. For Indian tourists, Rs 1,200 per day will be charged by the Bhutanese government as Sustainable Development Fee (SDF),” the ambassador said.

A zoonotic virus Langya has been reported in China, with 35 people infected so far. The new type of Henipavirus has been found in China’s Shandong and Henan provinces, Taipei Times reported. The Virus is causing liver, kidney failure. Know the symptoms about this new virus.

Langya virus patients developed symptoms like fever, fatigue, a cough, loss of appetite, muscle pain, nausea, headache and vomiting. The virus was likely transmitted from animals to human quoting scientists in Taiwan. A correspondence about the new virus by scientists from China, Singapore and Australia has been published in New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang said that 26 of the affected patients developed symptoms like fever, fatigue, cough, loss of appetite, muscle pain, nausea, headache and vomiting. They also showed a decrease in white blood cells, low platelet count, liver failure and kidney failure. The authors of the study have underlined that the sample size of their investigation is too small to determine human-to-human transmission. However, they point out that among the 35 patients infected by LayV, there was “no close contact or common exposure history”, which suggests that the “infection in the human population may be sporadic”.The spread of germs from animals to humans, called zoonosis, is common, accounting for more than six of out of every 10 known infectious diseases in people, according to the CDC. Most of the time they cause limited disease, dying out without having a major impact.

© Provided by Theaglenews.Indian railways has achieved a lot of milestones lately, but the organisation is on the verge to complete the construction of the world’s highest single-arch railway bridge over the Chenab River. The completion of the bridge is scheduled for next week. The bridge is being built at a height that can make people go weak. Well, the bridge sits at a height of 359 metres. For perspective, it should be noted that it can fit the Eiffel Tower beneath it, along with a 10-story building. Also, the bridge will feature a “Golden Joint” that will connect the two sides of the bridge.What is Golden Joint?The golden joint will club the two segments on the bridge and the bridge overarch deck with the help of High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) bolts, which make the critical ‘golden joint’ on the engineering marvel. Well, it would now be clear that a Golden Joint doesn’t mean that the joint will be made of expensive metal. It should be noted that Gold isn’t a strong metal, as it is highly malleable, therefore limiting its use to jewellery. highest railway bridge – SpecificationsThe bridge comprises 93 deck segments, each weighing around 85 tonnes. Also, the bridge has so far gobbled up around 30,350 tonnes steel, comprising 10,620 tonnes to build the gigantic arch and 14,500 tonnes for the bridge deck, and stands majestically near the Kauri village on the upstream of Salal Dam.Given the height, the extreme weather conditions and strong gales that often lash the valley, the sophisticated automatic signalling system installed on both sides will stop the trains from crossing the bridge if wind speeds there touch 90-kmph.World’s highest railway bridge – RouteThe project is part of the ambitious 272-kms long railway line from Udhampur to Baramulla joining Jammu with the Kashmir valley as an all-weather highspeed alternative, named the ‘Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project’.When completed, it will connect the Salal-A and Dugga railway stations on either side of the bridge with the mighty River Chenab gushing below in the picture-postcard Reasi district.The 272-km long railway line will have 38 tunnels (total length 119 -kms) with the country’s longest tunnel T-49 (12.75 kms), 927 big and small bridges (total length 13 kms), and mark a new era in the development and progress of Jammu & Kashmir, said officials.
