Nagpur Road Restored by MRIDC Caves In Again, Sparks Commuter Outrage Nagpur: Barely 24 hours after the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) repaired a damaged stretch on the Kadbi Chowk-Golibar Chowk road, the surface caved in again, triggering outrage among commuters. The damaged stretch, located beneath an under-construction 2.82km railway overbridge (ROB), is part of a ₹146-crore project launched in July 2021. Locals reported that the road was patched on Saturday night but developed deep depressions by Sunday morning, turning the busy corridor into a “death trap.” Residents accused the agency of poor-quality work, citing a resident’s video of a two-wheeler rider losing balance on the freshly repaired surface and falling. The filmer alleged that the contractor failed to compact the excavated portion adequately before laying asphalt, causing it to sink within hours. “It is impossible to ride safely. Anyone, especially women and the elderly, can lose balance. This happened without rain. Imagine what will happen during heavy showers,” the resident said. MRIDC officials rejected allegations of substandard work, stating the repair was a temporary measure to keep traffic moving during the monsoon. They claimed the surface was damaged overnight after unidentified individuals allegedly dug through the road to lay a sewer pipeline illegally. The official noted that the damaged portion would be repaired again within two to three days, with permanent restoration planned after utility shifting and cable-crossing works are completed. According to MRIDC, the concrete road near Bhola School is already complete, while the remaining stretch will be upgraded after underground utility works are finished.#wasim_khan #kadbi_chowk #mominpura #mridc #golibar_chowk
Sant Gulab Baba Urdu School Building to Be Demolished, New Facility Planned Nagpur: The aging structure of Sant Gulab Baba Urdu School in Mominpura is set to be demolished, with plans underway to construct a new facility. Municipal Commissioner Vipin Itankar has directed officials to submit a proposal to ensure the school can resume operations for the upcoming academic year. During a routine inspection of civic projects in Mominpura and Minimata Nagar, Itankar visited the school and emphasized the urgency of accelerating reconstruction efforts. Local corporator Wasim Khan raised the issue of rebuilding the school, highlighting the need for a modern infrastructure to support educational needs. The commissioner also reviewed progress on the under-construction Muslim e-library in Mominpura, which is being developed on a 4,098.41 square meter plot at a cost of Rs20 crore using funds from the District Planning Committee. During the inspection, Itankar examined the multipurpose hall and reading room, instructing officials to install an iron ramp for parking and complete remaining works promptly. In Minimata Nagar, the upcoming 30-bed Urban Community Health Centre received attention. Itankar directed officials to widen the side entrance, allocate parking space, and lay paver blocks in designated areas. He also proposed transforming the open space in front of the hospital into a walking track, garden, and play area for residents. The facility will be equipped with air conditioning, a modular operation theatre, an effluent treatment plant, quality furniture, and rooftop solar panels through MEDA.#municipal_commissioner_vipin_itankar #mominpura #sant_gulab_baba_urdu_school #muslim_e_library #minimata_nagar
113gm MD Seized On Samruddhi Eway Nagpur police intercepted a private bus on the Samruddhi Expressway near Waifall toll naka, seizing approximately 113 grams of MD powder valued at 12 lakh rupees from two smugglers. The operation, part of a 24-hour surveillance effort, was initiated after intelligence indicated the narcotics consignment was being transported from a supplier codenamed “DISC” in Mumbai’s Kurla area. This follows a previous interception of 150 kilograms of Cannabis bound for Mumbai, conducted by the same team. The accused, Sayyed Qureshi and Shakeel Khalid, are alleged to operate from Mominpura in central Nagpur. Shakeel Khalid, according to police, has a prior criminal record. During the operation, authorities also confiscated mobile phones and other incriminating evidence. The action was carried out under the directive of Crime Police (CP) Ravinder Singal’s “Operation Thunder” and DCP (Crime) Deepak Aggarwal. The police are currently registering a case at Hingna police station, marking the latest in a series of drug seizures targeting smuggling networks. The incident highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to disrupt illicit drug trafficking routes, particularly along major highways like the Samruddhi Expressway. The seizure underscores the role of intelligence-led operations in intercepting narcotics before they reach their destination. The case also reflects the broader challenges faced by authorities in combating cross-border drug smuggling, with suspects often leveraging transportation networks to evade detection. The involvement of a codenamed supplier, “DISC,” suggests a well-organized distribution chain, prompting further investigations into potential accomplices and funding sources.#mominpura #samruddhi_eway #waifall_toll_naka #operation_thunder #crime_policeravinder_singal
Nagpur Horror: 19-Year-Old Newlywed Woman Subjected to Sexual Abuse, Killed for Dowry A 19-year-old newlywed woman in Nagpur was allegedly strangled to death by her in-laws, who initially claimed her death was due to a heart attack. The truth emerged after her body was exhumed for an autopsy, which revealed signs of strangulation and asphyxia, contradicting the initial narrative. The case has sparked outrage over dowry-related violence and sexual harassment, with critical evidence including recorded calls detailing the victim’s ordeal. Her husband and brother-in-law have been arrested, while her elderly father-in-law remains at large. The victim, who married in January, faced relentless dowry demands from her in-laws. The trauma escalated when her brother-in-law began making sexual advances, which she repeatedly reported to her mother. Voice recordings of her desperate calls to her mother, recovered from her mother’s phone, have become key evidence in the case. These recordings capture her describing the pressure for more dowry and the unwanted advances from her brother-in-law. The in-laws’ attempt to conceal the murder as a natural death unraveled after her parents, who resided in Amravati, retrieved her body from Nagpur. They had initially been told she died of a heart attack but faced a prolonged standoff before obtaining her remains. Her body was buried in Amravati, a Muslim graveyard, as per her family’s wishes. The police, acting on a complaint filed on May 17, exhumed the body and conducted an autopsy at the burial site. The findings led to the registration of a murder case at the Tehsil police station in Nagpur. The accused, residents of Mominpura locality, were remanded in police custody until Friday.#nagpur #supreme_court #victim_family #amravati #mominpura
MRIDC Clears Major Hurdles, Mominpura Y-Shaped Flyover Work Picks Up Pace; Target Set for March 2027 Nagpur: After years of delays caused by encroachments, land disputes, and local opposition, the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC) has accelerated construction of the long-pending Y-shaped Mominpura flyover. The project, which aims to alleviate chronic traffic congestion between Kadbi Chowk and Golibar Chowk, is now targeting completion by March 2027. An MRIDC official confirmed that nearly 70% of the work has been completed, with progress ongoing on multiple fronts. Foundation and substructure work is finalized, and approximately 50% of the superstructure, including girder launching, has been finished. Road concretisation beneath the flyover has also begun. The 2.82-kilometre flyover, initially sanctioned at ₹146 crore, is now expected to cost around ₹185 crore due to delays and additional works. The project will connect Kadbi Chowk, Mominpura, and Santra Market, with one arm extending to Mominpura and the other branching towards Santra Market and linking to Platform No. 8 of Nagpur railway station. The Kadbi Chowk-to-Mominpura arm will feature an 11-metre-wide carriageway, while the Santra Market arm will be 7.5 metres wide. Construction began in July 2021 following the bhoomipujan ceremony, but progress stalled due to encroachments, residents' objections, land acquisition disputes, tree-felling permissions, and the relocation of power cables and water pipelines in the Mominpura area. Officials stated that most of these obstacles have been resolved, enabling faster execution. The original deadline of December 2025 was repeatedly pushed back, first to the end of 2026 and then revised to March 2027.#nagpur #kadbi_chowk #mominpura #mridc #santra_market
