Three incidents of chain snatching in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad, (PTI) In three separate incidents of chain snatching, motorcycle-borne thieves today escaped with the chains of a journalist, a BSP leader and a doctor, police said. While the incidents took place at intervals, within the jurisdiction of three different police stations, the modus operandi was the same, they said. In an incident in Kavi Nagar area, two men on a motorcycle forcibly took away BSP district president Ram Prashad Pradhan's chain after stopping him on the pretence of asking directions while he was returning home after a morning walk . In another case, the chain of journalist Neetu, a resident of Indirapuram, was snatched near Vaishali metro station. Similarly, three men approached Dr Rajiv, a resident of Lohia Nagar, when he was heading home from a local market and looted his gold chain.

GDA, builders unite to decongest Raj Nagar Extension

GHAZIABAD: Builders in Raj Nagar Extension and the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) have joined hands to put an end to congestion woes in the area. The move would give a breather to the people commuting through the area and builders believe that this will entice more people into buying a property in the area. "To execute the proposed traffic decongestion plan for NH 58 and other roads in Ghaziabad, GDA has decided to complete these works in association with Raj Nagar Extension Developers Association," said Gaurav Gupta, spokesperson of the Association. Mr Gupta added, "The authorities propose to restructure of the NH-58 stretch - from Meerut-crossing (near new bus stand) to ALT-cut."

The project is already underway and is expected to incur a cost of Rs 2 crore. The...

Munna Sharma, president of Noida Sector-71 RWA and former office bearer of the Federation of Noida RWAs (FONRWA), said, "Normally, we are scheduled to get six hours of water supply, three each in the morning and evening, but these days, we are getting water for just thr...

Metro smart cards may soon be used in Delhi buses

The Delhi Metro’s Smart Cards will soon be valid for travel in both the metro trains as well in buses being run in the national capital. The smart cards would also be integrated with the National Common Mobility Card - More (peacock). The facility would help commuters use all kinds of transport in the city with one single card. The cards would, however, be renamed as ‘Yatri More Cards’ for this purpose. To facilitate its implementation, a series of high-level meetings have since taken place between the Urban Development ministry and Delhi government’s transport department. “It has been decided that the ‘More’ (meaning peacock) cards will be introduced initially in the cluster buses and later in the DTC buses. The art work for designing the ‘More’ cards is already in progress,” said Urban Development Secretary Sudhir Krishna at a press conference here. Krishna said the facility was likely to be made operational by May and by the end of the year the common mobility card would...
