The latest report from the Ministry of Statistics and Development said that about 417 infrastructure projects, each with investments of 150 billion yen or more, had cost overruns of more than 4.77 billion yen in January.

The ministry, which oversees infrastructure projects worth Rs 150 lakh crore or more, said that of the 1,763 projects, a quarter (417) were reported to be overrun in costs and half (842) were late. “The total initial implementation cost of the 1,763 projects is Rs 24,86,402.70 crore and their expected completion cost is likely to be Rs 29,64,345.13 crore,” the report said, and the cost is nearly 20% more than the original cost.

For 298 projects, neither the year of operation nor the temporary testing period were specified, and the average completion time for these projects was more than three years.

Reasons for the delay, according to implementing agencies, include delays in land acquisition, environmental clearance, lack of infrastructure support and linkages; Delays in financing the project, and finalizing detailed engineering and scope changes.

The ball goes off – Shreyas Iyer’s enemy is no more

It may seem strange to briefly mention Shreyas and mention the same sentence, but the first quote took him to his maiden World Cup century.

While the latter proved to be his most effective shot in the match against the Netherlands.

Shreyas Iyer scored his maiden World Cup century, off 84 balls, against Netherlands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. This hundred, his fourth in this format, came on the back of 82 against Sri Lanka and 77 against South Africa.

Shreyas reached base with a single on a short ball, and his most effective shot of the evening was a pull shot. It seems strange to mention Shreyas briefly and repeat the same sentence in an article praising his roles.

After all, Shreyas’ short-ball problem is well-documented. The problem seems to be that he has no defensive options to counter, so he opts for an unconvincing shot or awkward jump to defend rather than just getting out of line.

However, the story is different in the ODI World Cup. Trusted by captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid to be India’s No. 4, Shreyas is the team’s designated middle-order attacker, whose job it is to take risks against the bowlers specifically. “When you say it’s a problem for me, what do you mean?” Shreyas asked in the post-match press conference after the win over Sri Lanka secured India’s place in the semi-finals. “See how many shots I scored, especially the ones that lasted up to four shots?

However, Shreyas did not have the best of starts in this tournament as he was dismissed for a duck in the opening match of the campaign against Australia in Chennai.

In fact, he fouled out a short ball against New Zealand and England. But since then, the Mumbai right-back’s form has improved, partly due to his “temperament”, as Dravid pointed out before the match against the Netherlands. Shreyas has worked closely with Dravid since 2015, when Dravid served as an advisor to the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). The company later expanded into the India A organization. “Everyone will have areas they need to work on and improve. No perfect batsman can say I know everything or I am very good at everything,” Dravid said. “There will always be areas for improvement. But in the end, you should be judged on the results you achieve. How many points do you score and when do you score them? “I think with Shreyas, that’s one of the things that stands out,” he added.

Since he came to fight the Dutch, Shreyas has had his fair share of long deliveries. But that wasn’t a problem for him in what was a fairly easy match. The challenge for the opposition is that once Shreyas is appointed, they have to wait for the decision to remove him. If it’s not a short ball, the best way to get him out is when he gets out and misses, or when he scores over a hundred and is looking to do more damage. Unfortunately for the Netherlands, none of the above happened.

Brutal response

Leaders use slower, predictable balls after a certain point and are brutalized. When he gets to his feet, Shreyas waves or walks around him and hits him. He may not be the best short-ball player, but you won’t find Shreyas lacking the will to try harder.

This quality is rare in a brilliant player like him. “The last few rounds have given me a lot of confidence,” Shreyas said after the win over the Netherlands. “The game wasn’t easy at first, so I knew I had to make the most of a good start.” Shreyas recently claimed that since he has played most of his cricket matches on high-bouncy pitches in Mumbai, he is confident of his ability to handle the increase in players.

“Coming from Mumbai, especially Wankhede, the bounce is quite uniform and bounces more than any other surface. I have played most of my matches here so I know how to deal with it. It’s just that when I play a few rounds I have to get out, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.

“Most of the time this doesn’t suit me; “Maybe that’s why you think it’s a problem for me, but in my mind I know there’s no problem,” Shreyas said. There is evidence that Shreyas acted the way he did in his shorts. It is true that most of the speedy Dutch goalkeepers were not the best players Shreyas faced, but there were signs that he made a conscious effort to get to the line and showed enough patience before deploying a string of shots.

On Sunday, when he returned to the dressing room, unbeaten on 128 off 94 balls, Shreyas knew he had rewarded his faith with another display of strength. But tougher tests await them in the first semi-final against New Zealand in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The company operates more than 60  stores  in India and has  a  presence in countries such as the  United States,  New Zealand, Singapore, Nepal and the  United Arab Emirates.  

  Group CEO Shyam Sunder Aggarwal said: “Kakaji’s demise  is not  only  a loss  for Bikanervala but also  a  gap  in the culinary landscape. His vision and leadership will forever guide our culinary  journey.”  Kedarnath Aggarwal started his entrepreneurial journey in Delhi. 

  Originally  from Bikaner, his family owned a sweet shop  on  the  streets  of the city since 1905. The shop was  called  Bikaner Namkeen Bhandar and  sold  a  number  of sweets and snacks. 

  Aggarwal, who had  greater  ambitions, migrated to Delhi in the early  1950s  with his brother Satyanarayan Aggarwal, bringing his  family’s recipes  to the city. 

  Initially,  the two  struggled  to carry crates full of  bhujia and  rasgulla to sell on  the streets of old Delhi. However, the Aggarwal brothers’ hard work and  Bikaner’s  unique  aesthetic  taste  were  soon  recognized  and  accepted by  the people of Delhi. 

  The  Aggarwal brothers  then opened  a shop  at Chandini Chowk  in  Delhi,  where they used  family recipes  passed  down from generation to generation. 

  Bikaner Namkeen Bhandar  quickly  became famous for its Moong Dal Halwa, Bikaneri Bhujia and Kaju Katli,  among  others. The  brothers and the  store quickly  became  famous  as Bikanervala. 

  “When  we  say goodbye  to a legend, we  pass on  his legacy with a  profound  sense of responsibility. Bikanervala will continue to  reflect its values:  where every dish tells a story and every customer is part of our extended  family,”  said Radhey Mohan Aggarwal,  Group  Director of Bikanervala  and eldest son of  Kakaji said.

Images from different parts of Delhi showed dense fog covering the roads, significantly reducing visibility and making it difficult to see beyond a few hundred meters.

New Delhi: A thick layer of smog shrouded the national capital after people burned crackers on Diwali night, leading to severe pollution across the city, which is already reeling from deteriorating air quality. Officials said the Delhi Fire Brigade received 100 calls regarding fire-related incidents on Diwali evening. Delhi Fire Service (DFS) chief Atul Garg said these calls were recorded between 6pm and 10.45pm on Sunday.

 “The total number of calls for small, medium and large fire incidents reached 100 between 6pm and 10.45pm,” he said, adding that his department was ready to provide assistance. Delhi Police is on alert and assisting firefighters, officials said. The ban on fireworks was flouted in several areas of Delhi as the city celebrated Diwali. Images from different parts of Delhi showed dense fog covering the roads, significantly reducing visibility and making it difficult to see further than a few hundred meters.

It is important to note that the national capital has been suffering from pollution for several weeks. Al-Qaeda in Iraq has peaked in many places at “dangerous” levels and has remained at toxic levels for several days, but after Diwali, the national capital is likely to once again witness rising pollution levels, making people’s lives difficult. 

A breathing city The Supreme Court last week said that the ban on fireworks containing barium is binding on all states and is not limited to the Delhi-NCR region, which suffers from severe air pollution. Recently, the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government in Delhi imposed a complete ban on bursting firecrackers. In the face of pollution, the government thought of the idea of ​​”artificial rain” to combat the city’s oppressive atmosphere, until sudden rains significantly reduced the pollution level.

The latest posts and reports circulating on social media sites show the participation of large numbers of people in different places in lighting fireworks. Images on Sunday night from Lodhi Road, RK Puram, Karol Bagh and Punjabi Bagh showed intense fireworks lighting up the night sky in several parts of the capital. Previous data on pollution showed that since the last week of October, the air quality in the national capital was at its worst.

 PM2.5 concentrations in the city were recorded at 20 times the limit set by the World Health Organization, prompting the city government to issue an order to close all primary schools and limit truck access. Despite the ‘Diya Jalao, Patakhi Nahi’ campaign launched by the Delhi government and the Supreme Court’s order against bursting of firecrackers, the increasing pollution is likely to reduce the lights in the city after the festival ends.

India holds  ‘2+2’ ministerial  dialogue with the US: What it means 

By

2+2 meetings have been held annually with  US leaders since 2018. What is  the format of  this meeting  and which countries does India engage with  under this framework? Let’s  take a look. 

  Indian  Defense  Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met their  US  government counterparts, Defense  Secretary Lloyd Austin and Secretary of State Antony  Blinken, in a  2+2  ministerial dialogue Thursday was  held in New Delhi on  Friday, November 11.  

2+2 meetings have  taken place  annually with  US leaders since 2018. What is  the format of  this meeting  and which countries  is  India  engaging  in this  way? 

Let’s  take a look.  

What are 2+2 meetings and what is  their purpose?  The 2+2  meeting means  the participation of two high-level representatives,  ministers  holding  the  Foreign and  Defense positions of  each  country, with the aim  of  enhancing  the scope of dialogue between them. 

Having such a mechanism  allows  partners to better understand and appreciate each  other’s  strategic concerns and  sensitivities,  taking into account political factors on both sides, in order to build  the relationship. stronger and  more integrated  strategy  in a rapidly changing global environment.  

Who  is India’s  2+2  partner?  

The US is  the  oldest and most important  partner in India’s  2+2  negotiations.  

 The first 2+2 dialogue between the two countries  took place  during the Trump  administration,  when then Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and then Secretary of  Defense  James Mattis met  with  the late Sushma Swaraj and then  Secretary of Defense  Nirmala Sitharaman in New Delhi in September 2018. 

It  is  also seen as a replacement for the  strategic  and  trade dialogue  held between the  two countries’  foreign and  trade  ministers  under  the previous Obama administration. 

 The launch of the dialogue  is  seen as  “reflecting  the shared  commitment” of  India and the US to  bring about a “positive and  forward-looking vision  of  the India-US strategic partnership and  leverage integrated  in  the  diplomatic and security  efforts of the two countries.”  Additionally, India  held 2+2 meetings with  the  ministers  of  Australia, Japan,  UK  and Russia. Notably,  during  this  year’s  meeting, Antony Blinken reiterated the  importance  of  India’s relationship  with  several  countries that are also important  allies of the United States. 

 “We  promote  a free and  open Indo-Pacific region that is  prosperous, secure and  resilient,  including by strengthening our partnership through  QUAD with Japan and  Australia”.  QUAD or  Quadrilateral Security Dialogue is an informal security  forum  and these four countries  are members.  

  According to a joint press release at the time, negotiations  with Japan  through the  platform began in 2019, with the aim  of  “further  strengthening  the strategic depth of  security and  defense cooperation Bilateral”.  In 2021,  in  the  first discussion session  with Russia, Russian Foreign Minister  Sergei  Lavrov  said:  “Both Russia and India have a similar  worldview, which is about  a more polycentric,  multipolar world order.” and  more  fair.  We  support  similar or identical positions on the most important political and military issues.” He also said that  2+2  will become “an effective  dialogue platform to  discuss many  regional and international  topics,  further deepening our  traditional  mutual understanding.” 

  That  same year,  the  2+2 dialogue with Australia also began. In October 2023, the first such meeting with the UK took place. 

 Defense  and strategic agreements under 2+2 

 Over the years,  strategic bilateral  relations  with  partners, including  dialogues held in the 2+2 format,  have yielded clear  and far-reaching results for India. 

  India and the US  signed a  trio  of  “foundational treaties” on deepening  military cooperation,  starting  with the Logistics Exchange Memorandum of  Understanding  (LEMOA) in 2016, followed by the  Compatibility and Security  Agreement. communication secret  (COMCASA) after  2+  first  2 conversations.  in 2018,  followed by  the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) in 2020.  

Strengthening  the  cooperation  mechanism  between the two militaries is  very important  in the context of an increasingly aggressive China,  threatening many countries in and outside the region, while also challenging  a  number of  established norms and  aspects. established in  international relations.

  Establishing a  mechanism with Japan, which is also wary of  China’s  role, is another  example.  However, India also  engages with  Russia through 2+2  dialogue,  keeping in mind  the  security and energy interests  as well as  the  historical depth of  the relationship between the two countries.
