4 IndiGo flights will commence to Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad & Bangalore
The Chakeri Airport authorities have been instructed to reschedule IndiGo flights due to the delayed operations of the new terminus. Earlier, IndiGo was planning to launch 4 services from September 15, from the new terminus. The plan was then postponed to begin from October 15, in line with the extended project timeline.
However, with the entire project being pushed to the year-end deadline, the DGCA has granted permission to flag these off from the old terminal only. As such, domestic operations from Kanpur to Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore have been slated, accordingly.
Additionally, SpiceJet has also scheduled three aircraft from the Chakeri Airport to Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. It had initially planned an aircraft service to Amritsar as well but the flight was cancelled before take-off. Although, airline officials have confirmed the start of the Kanpur-Amritsar route soon.
New terminus to have 8 check-in counters, 3 air-aprons & much more
The new terminus at Kanpur Airport has been sanctioned a budget of about ₹160 crores and its depot is scheduled at Mawaiya. The proposed airdrome has the capacity to house over 300 passengers and park 150 vehicles. It will further have 8 check-in counters and will be equipped with 3 aircraft tarmacs or parking lots, read reports. This number can be increased if need be.
Lately, the Special Secretary of Civil Aviation had also surveyed and directed the workers to conclude the work as early as possible. The information about the delay has further been relayed to the state administration and government as well.
A total of 100 Health ATMs to be set up in the city
In addition to the 6 aforementioned parks, LDA office premises will also get a Health ATM. Besides, the authorities have affirmed that a total of 100 such units will be set up across different locations in the city. With regards to this, all executive engineers have been asked to ensure their support and cooperation for the inception of these new facilities.
It has been observed that a large count of citizens flock to the city gardens for morning walks every day. Once the planned Health ATMs are set up, these joggers will be provided with an easy and affordable option for health check-ups. Additionally, it is expected that these units will benefit a significant number of health-conscious people coming to the park.
SGPGIMS to roll out a price tally for these diagnostic centres
Amid a variety of facilities available at these Health ATMs, individuals will be able to get themselves tested for blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, creatinine, haemoglobin. It has been informed that all these tests will be available at economical rates, which will encourage the people to get tested.
For this scheme, officials from SGPGIMS will formulate a price list, which will then be used by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation. With the finalisation of rates, the authorities will initiate interventions for setting up these facilities. Amit Kumar, the Additional Municipal Commissioner stated that health ATMs will greatly benefit the fitness-conscious people, who visit the parks regularly.
Unnecessary travel to Rajokri will be avoidable via this U-turn
Upon completion, this U-turn will relax the traffic situation from Gurugram to Ambience mall and DLF Phase 3 besides saving time for the commuters. Travellers from Gurugram will be able to take this U-turn to go towards these malls while avoiding the travel to Rajokri in Delhi. This will save them from an additional 4-kilometer drive. Thereby, it is expected to cut the extra time and save commuter's money as well.
LED lights to be installed inside the underpass
An officer from the NHAI said, "The total height with Vertical Clearance has been kept five and a half meters. LED lights will be installed for proper lightning inside the underpass. Along with this, the plantation will be done between Signage Board and Dividers in the Underpass under the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) rules,"
As per the reports, this underpass is about 377 metres long, whereas the width of the entire stretch, including the access road, is around 1.5 kilometres. In addition to this, the length of the service roads is approximately 559 metres while its width is 7 metres.
Construction undertaken on a cost-sharing basis
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) and the Government of Haryana, DLF, Ambience Mall and Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) shared the construction cost amongst themselves. Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways green flagged the construction under this project in the cost-sharing ratio of 75:25 between the aforementioned authorities.
Though the deadline for the completion of this underpass was September 4, 2020, reportedly, the project was delayed due to unavoidable circumstances. Further, the Supreme Court's ban on construction to curb air pollution was imposed in November 2019, hampering the planned course of action. Additionally, the lockdown enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic also adversely affected the plans. Now, they are being revived to make sure that the facility is commissioned at the earliest.

Additionally, the team will also help the suitable startups with possible funding options.

Initiative in line with the Smart City Mission
In a bid to strengthen the economy and bridge the gap between start-ups and their stakeholders, multiple Smart City Incubation Centres have been established across India. These initiatives fall in line with the national Smart Cities Mission which was launched on 25 June 2015. Before the launch of this new establishment in Indore, Madhya Pradesh had already launched a total of five incubation centres at Jabalpur, Bhopal, Gwalior, Sagar and Satna.

Teeth of species that became extinct 65 million years ago!
The aforesaid publication was co-penned by the Head of the Department of Earth Sciences at IIT Roorkee, Prof Sunil Bajpai. Notably, he played a key role in spotting and recording the various facets of this discovery. Besides, the group of geologists and other experts consisted of Krishna Kumar, Pragya Pandey, Triparna Ghosh and Debasish Bhattacharya.
According to Krishna Kumar, senior geologist, palaeontology division, Western Region, "Hybodont sharks have been reported for the first time from the Jurassic rocks (approximately, between 160 and 168 million years old) in the Jaisalmer region of Rajasthan. They comprise an extinct group of sharks, which was a dominant group of fishes in both marine and fluvial environments during the Triassic and early Jurassic times."
The official further stated that the decline of hybodont sharks in marine ecosystems started in the Middle Jurassic age. Driven by the falling numbers, they gradually occupied a small proportion of open-marine shark assemblages. Later, they finally became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago.
A milestone for research in the field of vertebrate fossils
After the maiden discovery, the research team has named the new species 'Strophodusjaisalmerensis'. Interestingly, this is the first time that an organism from the class of genus Strophodus has been found in the Indian sub-continent. Additionally, this is the third discovery of its kind in Asia while the previous two were recorded in Japan and Thailand.
Recently, this species has been mentioned in Shark references.com, an international platform operating in association with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Species Survival Commission (SSC), and Germany. Being a notable accomplishment in the study of Jurassic vertebrate fossils in the Jaisalmer region of Rajasthan, the latest finding will fuel more research and exploration in this field.
