What’s happening to people these days? A Tata Curvv (CH01DA0537) was allegedly being driven rashly and repeatedly flashing high-beam lights at a vehicle someone known to me.

Unable to brake in time, the Tata Curvv reportedly rammed into the car from behind. Instead of accepting responsibility, the occupants became aggressive, allegedly attempted to assault the driver, Captured even in Dashcam, and even damaged the car’s windows.

Thankfully, he managed to leave the spot before the situation escalated further.

It’s disturbing to see incidents like this unfold simply because of ego and road rage. A written complaint has already been submitted to Rupnagar Police.

Strict action should be taken against such individuals to ensure the safety of law-abiding citizens and to prevent such behavior from becoming common on our roads.

@propertylenden Is it canceled because there were no vendors or because the tender had a lot of missing technical points they realised post the queries session and realised these are such big miss that amendment will not work and had to cancel it.

दिल्ली के मालवीय नगर अग्निकांड में उत्तराखंड के शेफ केशव नेगी की गिरफ्तारी कई गंभीर सवाल खड़े करती है।
केशव दिल्ली में अपने परिवार का पालन-पोषण करने के लिए नौकरी कर रहे थे और उनका काम रसोई में खाना बनाना था, न कि भवन की वैधता, फायर एनओसी (NOC) या सुरक्षा मानकों की जांच करना। यदि भवन में अवैध निर्माण, सुरक्षा नियमों की अनदेखी और प्रशासनिक लापरवाही हुई है, तो इसकी जवाबदेही वास्तविक जिम्मेदार लोगों की तय होनी चाहिए।

एक कर्मचारी को बलि का बकरा बनाकर पूरे मामले की जिम्मेदारी उस पर डालना न्यायसंगत नहीं कहा जा सकता। यह भी जांच का विषय है कि रिहायशी क्षेत्र में व्यावसायिक गतिविधियां किस अनुमति से संचालित हो रही थीं और नियमों का पालन क्यों नहीं हुआ।

21 निर्दोष लोगों की मौत के इस दुखद मामले में निष्पक्ष और व्यापक जांच आवश्यक है। उत्तराखंड सरकार, सांसदों और जनप्रतिनिधियों को इस मामले का संज्ञान लेकर केशव नेगी को उचित कानूनी सहायता उपलब्ध कराने की पहल करनी चाहिए। न्याय का सिद्धांत यही कहता है कि जिम्मेदारी उसी की तय हो जो वास्तव में जिम्मेदार हो, और जांच सबसे कमजोर नहीं बल्कि असली दोषियों तक पहुंचे।

You have been watching SPR for some years, maybe for self use or investment.

The elevated road was the one thing that finally made sense to you.

It just got cancelled. It's not dead but the tender is withdrawn, and will be released again.

Your broker will call tomorrow with a reason to stay in.
Read this before he does.

The SPR elevated road tender got withdrawn on June 5, 2026. ₹755 crore project. 4.2 km signal-free corridor from Vatika Chowk to the NH-48 cloverleaf. Floated in March, extended twice, cancelled in June. Most people reading that will assume the infrastructure story on SPR is broken and the project is dead. That assumption is wrong. But the version your broker will sell you as a correction is not the full picture either.

The tender was pulled because the RFP had technical deficiencies. Unclear specifications, insufficient structural drawings, scope gaps that serious contractors flagged during the pre-bid meeting in late May. This is not exceptional incompetence. This is how government infrastructure tenders typically work. The people drafting the document often do not build things. The people who build things read the document and tell you what is missing. The loop closes when the document gets withdrawn, revised, and re-floated. GMDA has said fresh tender in a month. That is probably true. What nobody is asking is what happens after the tender.

Here is where the timeline changes shape entirely. Fresh tender goes out in July 2026. Then comes the pre-bid query round, the corrigenda, the extension because there is always at least one, and you land at bid submission somewhere in September or October. Then evaluation, negotiation, Letter of Award, which adds three to four months at minimum. Letter of Award by early 2027, if everything moves without friction. GMDA's own 30-month construction clock starts from that date. Not from today. Not from when you bought. From LoA. Thirty months from early 2027 is mid to late 2029 on paper. But that calculation assumes no monsoon shutdowns, no utility shifting delays, no ROW encroachment disputes, no contractor capacity issues, and no political scope changes after someone senior visits the site.

Every single one of those assumptions has been broken on every major Gurugram infrastructure project in recent memory. Two full monsoon seasons fall inside a 30-month construction window. Each one shuts active construction for roughly three months. That is six months of dead time already baked into the calendar before a single thing goes wrong. Add one more delay of any kind and the window stretches to 36 months. Add two and you are at 42. GMDA's own model road project on MG Road and Vyapar Kendra missed its deadline twice in two years. The penalty clause on these contracts is 10% on paper and 1% in practice. The Chilla elevated road in Delhi was five years behind its original schedule and still unfinished as of 2024. MoRTH itself now formally recognises that elevated corridor projects of this complexity deserve a 30-plus-6 month baseline. That is before real-world friction enters the picture.

So build the honest number. LoA in early 2027. Construction window of 36 to 42 months once two monsoons and at least one serious delay are factored in. That lands you between late 2029 and mid 2030 under an optimistic scenario. One contested ROW clearance, one change in alignment after a political review, one contractor dispute over escalation costs, and you are looking at 2031. The people who have been watching SPR for two years, telling themselves the elevated road will change everything, need to sit with that sentence. The road is coming. Just not before 2030, and 2031 is the more honest number. In the meantime, the five years between now and then are years you will spend on a corridor that is congested in peak hours, being dug up for stormwater drain work, waterlogged every July, and moving on a timeline that nobody in any broker's office is actually tracking.

Brokers will call this week. Some already have. They will say the project is alive, the tender is being re-floated, this is a signal to move before prices react. They are not lying about the project being alive. They are just stopping the sentence three years too early. They do not walk you through tender stages, LoA signing, utility shifting disputes, monsoon shutdowns compounding every year, or NHAI NOC timelines. They are not doing this with bad intent. They are optimising for the token, not for your commute in 2028. That gap between what they present and what you will experience is always your problem to carry, not theirs.

Buy on SPR if the fundamentals work for you today, on today's infrastructure, with today's commute as the honest baseline. The elevated road is real. The need is genuine. It will be built. But it will not change your morning drive before 2030, and 2031 is the number you should plan around.

If someone calls you this week and says hurry because the tender is being re-floated and prices will move, ask them one question. When is the Letter of Award expected? The length of the pause before their answer will tell you everything.

People are desparetly waiting for things to move on ground and frustration is building as we don't see any results. GCER/SPR is a nightmare to travel no matter day/time giving vibes of post appolcyptical world

In the last few days, we have seen how buildings can catch fire, whether outside the gate or even within the gated localities, destroying homes worth Rs. 3-4 crore to Rs. 10-20+ crores, while also claiming the lives of innocent people, all because due to inefficient systems.

Yet we see... people are constantly sold dreams of growing their net worth from Rs. 5-10 crore to Rs. 50+ crore to spend comfortable life one day, and many spend their lives chasing that race.

What rarely gets discussed is how fragile life remains regardless of the size of your home and wealth in this country.

The reality for most people is that they don't have options. In many ways, neither money nor life seems to receive the value they deserve. The promise of luxury living, status and wealthy portfolio often turns out to be an illusion.

Like some are already using this as an opportunity to hype and sell projects of a particular builders, promoting claims such as having the tallest fire ladder (assuming it's tall enough) or even a dedicated fire station.

But God forbid something actually goes wrong, there's a good chance those systems could fail too. After all, by sheer luck and God's grace, their real-world capacity has never truly been tested under a major emergency.

But then, yes one can even buy a Rs. 100-200 crore ultra-luxury home, but their children may still end up breathing air with an AQI of 1000!

Wealth can buy comfort, but it cannot eliminate even basic risk or guarantee a better quality of life in broader sense, especially in this country.

That's why it may not be worth stretching yourself endlessly in pursuit of a bigger number due to such rosy narratives being sold to you.

Spend quality time with the people you care about. In the end, that matters far more than the size of your house or your net worth.

@AjitSinghRathi It's really strange to see government giving Fire NOCs to buildings reaching upto 50 floors in gurgaon where as the fire department doesn't even have equipment to reach 12th floor.
What a strange world we live in.
No one cares for us and hence DLF thrives.

21 people died in Malviya Nagar Fire yesterday.

We saw similar incidents in Noida last month, we have seen videos of Dubai building on fire last year

This took me back to a conversation I had some time ago

A client who lives in Golf Links is evaluating Oberoi Three Sixty North. He told me that one of the biggest reasons he feels secure in Golf Links is the dedicated DLF fire department in Phase 5. Not just the building's internal systems. An actual fire response capability within the community. He had a personal experience in the family earlier that left an impression on him.

Then he asked: what is Oberoi doing about this for Three Sixty North?

At the time, told him I’m sure it will have the best internal system that we can think of, like every top developer does.

But tbh I did not give it the weight it deserved.

After yesterday I cannot think of it that way anymore.

When someone pays multi crore for an apartment, they are not just buying the square foot space

They are buying into a private ecosystem where they expect better security, better infrastructure, better maintenance in every sense than what exists outside those gates.

Fire safety should be one of the most non-negotiable part of that promise.

NCR has 250+ under construction skyscrapers. These are towers where families would sleep peacefully on the 30th, 40th, 50th floor knowing that this is taken care off by my building

This is not a question for buyers. It is a reminder to every developer that when people pay this kind of money they are trusting you with something far more important than their investment.

So far thankfully we haven’t had a major case in a high rise but If something goes wrong tomorrow, are we actually prepared to minimise the impact?

Please do not cut corners on fire compliance. Not at any price point.

You want the young officer to sacrifice his life for the love of the Nation, but you don’t want him to express his love for his fiancée.

In the Army we say ‘Youngster nahi karega, toh kaun karega’.

If you can not find a fault in his professional capabilities, don’t do this nuktachini for such a pure gesture of love and belonging.

Military equipment has been on display during many ‘Know your Army’ exhibitions around the country. The students and non military personnel have clicked pics with it showing pride and love for the Army. So, please don’t bring in the national security angle into this.

Let the young soldier do his national duty with pride and honour 👍

Jai Hind 🇮🇳

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has come across reports in certain sections of the media about RBI’s sale of gold. The RBI emphasises that these reports are not correct. In this context, it is clarified that the physical stock of gold is disclosed by RBI in its Monthly Bulletin. The physical stock of gold remains unchanged at 880.52 tonnes as on date: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

[Grok @grok]

**Verified.**

A Bloomberg Economics analysis (June 2) infers RBI likely sold ~$12B gold in the two weeks to May 22 to support FX reserves amid Middle East tensions, outflows & oil spikes. This is data-based inference, **not** an official RBI announcement or confirmed physical sale.

In 1991, India **pledged** gold as collateral during a severe BoP crisis (not outright sold). RBI’s gold holdings remain strong (~880 tonnes, mostly domestic after recent repatriations). This looks like tactical rebalancing, not a crisis sale. No official confirmation or distress signals.
