Keralam has formed an expert panel to examine E. Sreedharan's proposed 473.2 km, 200 kmph semi-high-speed rail corridor linking Thiruvananthapuram and Kannur. DMRC’s interim report shows big time savings, panel to assess technical, financial and environmental impacts. 🚄🇮🇳

@RahulChels @mieknathshinde Wasn't the tender of transportation of coaches from Mandale to Thane worth a few crores?

[Thane Needs Ring Metro @ThaneNeedsMetro]

Look at this queue. These are our parents, classmates, and neighbors just trying to get home. No one deserves to be crushed like this for a bus. The Ring Metro isn't about pillars, it's about giving Thanekars dignity back. Imagine skipping the chaos for a 15-minute, AC ride. Even if you hate the construction, the city is drowning, and this is a lifeboat.

Former Captain of the Indian Cricket Team, Sourav Ganguly, says, "...It was alleged that I had contacted Mr Yusuf Pathan on behalf of Mamta Banerjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal and had carried her message that he should step down/resign from his Constitutional post as the elected representative of the aforesaid constituency in order to enable Ms Banerjee to contest the ensuing by-elections from the said constituency. The aforesaid allegations are untrue. I would request the media not to fall prey to rumours and speculations..."

@bodkeitis @ashp111 Ah sorry. I thought since Alstom is the RS provider, the trains will run at 90kmph just like Aqua(?)

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@bodkeitis @ashp111 Is this line designed for 90kmph operations or 80?

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

Much needed intervention into the matter of delays in various infra projects across Mumbai. I sincerely wish that the works pick up pace now.

कामात दिरंगाई खपवून घेतली जाणार नाही...

मुख्यमंत्री देवेंद्र फडणवीस यांनी पायाभूत सुविधा प्रकल्पांच्या आढावा बैठकीत अधिकाऱ्यांना आणि कंत्राटदारांना स्पष्ट शब्दांत सुनावले. निर्धारित कालमर्यादेत कामे पूर्ण करण्याचे निर्देश देत प्रकल्पांच्या प्रगतीबाबत कोणतीही ढिलाई सहन केली जाणार नसल्याचा इशारा दिला.

@CMOMaharashtra Respected Sir,I am glad that you have taken up these matters.Some of the projects have been going on since ages and at snail's pace.Also,the Carshed issues for Line 4,6 and 9 are pending since time immemorial.I hope you will step in to resolve these issues aswell.

Annamalai used the following phrase in his resignation letter…

“National parties never spoke the language that people in Tamil Nadu understood”

Now some big BJP RW handles without understanding the idiomatic phrase used by Annamalai have started accusing him for dividing the country on linguistic lines 🤦🏻

Someone needs to give these guys lessons in English….

Annamalai did not mean national parties did not speak Tamil, what he meant was they did not speak on issues that resonated with the people!

Again I say, if BJP IT cell is nurturing such people, BJP does not need enemies 🤦🏻

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@soham1651 @RahulChels @Dev_Fadnavis Looks very unlikely.

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@Maha7Arindam I guess by next year end, the Chembur - ITO stretch will be ready for trials atleast. For Saraswat Nagar - ITO this is applicable if they finish the cable stayed bridge by that time.

[🇮🇳 Vidyasagar Jagadeesan🇮🇳 @jvidyasagar]

Cantilever design for #MumbaiMetro over Mithi river at Kurla. Going to be a big breakthrough. @Sahilinfra2

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@jvidyasagar @Sahilinfra2 If this line 2b can be made operational in 2 years time, nothing like it.

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@RahulChels @Dev_Fadnavis They should try and open till Mulund Fire Station when they open Ph1 of L4. That will somewhat makeup for the huge delay. Next year we can expect some decent network to be commissioned for Mumbai Metro. L4 Ph1, L9 Ph2, L7a, L2B Ph2(Juhu to Saraswat Nagar) and L5 Ph1.

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

@RahulChels @Dev_Fadnavis Line 4 will not happen in November too. April or May 2027 is what I feel.

@Akshatgoel1408 Could be true. Remember reading an article post the selection of the first T20 team. Only Tendulkar had a realistic chance of being selected among the then seniors for the first T20 world cup as per that article.

[Jayadev Menon @jayadevrmenon]

Finally. Hoping for some relief from this sweltering heat.

@OversLife Absolutely. Micheal Bevan was second to none when it came to finishing tough chases for Australia before the term "finisher" was coined. It was a pleasure watching him play those tough innings.

@shishirjn2130 @alanwilkins22 Thanks a lot for highlightint Alan Wilkins. His commentary is as good as all the others. I remember his commentary during 2002 India tour of England. His banters with Sidhu, Bhogle, Ravi Shastri and Gavaskar were a treat. He used to address them as Shri Sidhu, Shri Bhogle etc
