Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnav on Wednesday informed Parliament that several projects are underway to enhance railway capacity in Mumbai, with a focus on safety and passenger convenience. As part of the plan, 238 new trains with automatic door closure systems are being procured. The Railways said this is a practical solution aimed at improving commuter safety, especially on Mumbai’s heavily crowded suburban network. Heavy rail traffic in Mumbai At present, Mumbai sees the operation of around 120 mail and express trains and over 3,200 suburban local trains every day. To manage this high volume of traffic, multiple infrastructure works are being carried out across the city and its suburbs. The Railways said that three pit lines at Bandra have already been completed and several other projects are currently in progress, including- - Expansion of the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) depot - Construction of six new platforms at Parel - Six platforms at Kalyan - Five platforms each at Panvel and Kalamboli - Extension of platforms at Mumbai Central to accommodate 24-coach trains - Two platforms at Jogeshwari - One additional platform at Dadar - Six platforms at Vasai Road - Work Progressing at Fast Pace The Railway Minister said that work on capacity enhancement in Mumbai, as well as in other major cities, is progressing at a fast pace to meet growing passenger demand and improve overall rail services. Aadhaar OTP for Tatkal ticket booking live in 322 trains; over 3 crore fake IDs deactivated: Ashwini Vaishnaw Meanwhile, last week, the Parliament was informed that Aadhaar-based OTP verification for online Tatkal ticket booking is now active in 322 trains, helping curb misuse and improve fairness in the system, the IANS has reported. According to the government, the introduction of the verification method has increased the availability window for confirmed Tatkal tickets by around 65 per cent in these trains. Aadhaar OTP verification for Tatkal bookings at reservation counters is also being implemented in phases and is currently operational in 211 trains as of 4 December. Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told the Lok Sabha in a written reply that, because of this measure, confirmed Tatkal ticket availability time has risen in nearly 95 per cent of the 96 most popular trains, according to the IANS. The minister further said that strict revalidation and verification of user accounts had been carried out. Since January 2025, approximately 3.02 crore suspicious user IDs have been deactivated. Anti-bot solutions such as AKAMAI have been deployed to block non-genuine users and ensure smooth booking for legitimate passengers, the news agency reported. Complaints regarding suspiciously booked PNRs were being submitted to the National Cyber Crime Portal, he added. (with IANS inputs)
17 December,2025 04:39 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentCongress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Modi government of creating a "monopoly or duopoly" in every sector and called for putting the reins of India's economy back into the hands of MSMEs. Gandhi said that during the Winter Session of Parliament, he met a delegation of small and medium ice cream manufacturers, and by listening to their problems, it became clear that the government is determined to destroy small businesses for the benefit of its favoured industrialists. "Monopoly or duopoly is a curse for India and the Modi government has been doing exactly this in every sector, every industry," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said in a post in Hindi on his WhatsApp channel. "During the Jan Sansad (People's Parliament), I met with a delegation of small and medium-sized ice cream manufacturers. Talking to them and listening to their problems made it clear that the government is determined to destroy small businesses for the benefit of its favoured industrialists," Gandhi said. The customers of these small ice cream manufacturers are the poor and lower middle-class people of India, he said. Gandhi pointed out that there are thousands of such small ice cream manufacturers across the country, providing employment to millions of people. "The GST is so complex for these small businesses that it becomes difficult for them to bear the burden. This is why a special 'composition scheme' was created for small businesses, but the BJP government deliberately excluded ice cream from this scheme. At the same time, BJP-ruled states and municipal corporations have sharply increased fees," he said. Faced with this onslaught of high taxes, increasing paperwork, and rising fees, small ice cream manufacturers are collapsing, Gandhi said, adding that today, they are hardly visible even at tourist spots like India Gate. "This story is being repeated in every sector. Only the Prime Minister's favourite monopolists, who fund the BJP, survive and in return, they get a complete monopoly over the market," he alleged. "We must break this vicious cycle and put the strong reins of India's economy back into the hands of MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), so that young people get jobs, the public gets affordable and quality options, and small businesses can become equal partners in the country's progress," Gandhi said. In the video posted on Gandhi's channel, he said the problems being faced by small ice cream manufacturers are the same as every small and medium businesses in India is facing. "If you want to create jobs for the people, small and medium businesses are the place where it is going to be done. What specifically Mr Narendra Modi does is to help monopolies crush these people," Gandhi alleged. "When you hand monopoly power to somebody, you basically destroy the market. The monopolist can do whatever he wants, and there is no control over the manufacturers," he said. Gandhi said he feels it is important to give preference to small and medium industries, and they are looked after because they have a space in the economy. "There is a reason why Mr Narendra Modi is ensuring that monopolies are built. It is because that is the easiest way for him to find the BJP these poor fellows, they don't have access to him, they don't have access to his offices, so they can't basically finance the BJP," he said. Gandhi alleged that the BJP is creating monopolies everywhere, and while the largest ones are Adani and Ambani, in every sector, they have done so. "This is dangerous for the country, it weakens the structure of the country, and it ensures a large number of Indian youngsters are unemployed," Gandhi said.

17 December,2025 03:24 PM IST | New Delhi | PTIAccused in the Goa nightclub fire mishap, Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra were brought back to Goa on Wednesday by the police. The owners of the North Goa nightclub 'Birch by Romeo Lane' were brought back a day after they were deported from Thailand. The development comes in connection with the tragic fire incident at their nightclub earlier this month that resulted in 25 fatalities. As reported by news agency IANS, the Luthra brothers had fled India shortly after the incident and were brought back to Delhi on Tuesday after being detained by Thai authorities. As per the reports, the Luthra siblings will face legal proceedings, and a thorough investigation will be conducted by the authorities in Goa. The officials said, “Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra boarded an IndiGo flight to Phuketjust hours after a massive fire engulfed Birch by Romeo Lane in the early hours of December 7,” as cited by news agency IANS. The blaze, which reportedly started during a dance performance involving electronic fireworks, led to a fire on the roof. The incident claimed 25 lives, including tourists and staff members, and left several others injured. As soon as the Luthra brothers got to know about the incident at their club in Goa, they went missing. However, they were later located and detained in Phuket on December 11 when they stepped out of their hotel for a meal. The Luthra brothers were subsequently taken to Bangkok, from where they were deported to India. An IndiGo flight carrying them landed in Delhi at around 2 pm on Tuesday. Upon arrival, they were placed under police custody and were produced before a local court in Delhi, where the Goa Police sought transit remand for Goa, reported IANS. Several charges imposed against the Luthra brothers A case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, along with charges of negligence, has been registered against the accused. Investigators allege that the nightclub was functioning in violation of essential fire safety and building norms, which significantly worsened the impact of the fire. An Interpol Blue Corner Notice had earlier been issued against them after they left the country. Furthermore, a police investigation revealed that flammable materials, including bamboo, were extensively used in the construction of the club, allowing the fire to spread rapidly. Additionally, the establishment reportedly had a narrow entry and exit point, which made evacuation difficult and trapped many inside during the blaze. Earlier, on December 11, a Delhi court rejected the anticipatory bail pleas of the Luthra brothers. During the hearing, the Goa Police submitted documents contradicting the brothers’ claims of limited involvement in the business and pre-planned foreign travel. These included applications filed with the FSSAI and Pollution Control Board, as well as GST records naming the brothers as partners. Police also informed the court that the nightclub’s Panchayat licence had expired and was never renewed, and that the venue was operating without valid authorisation at the time of the incident.

17 December,2025 03:16 PM IST | Goa | mid-day online correspondentThe Solapur Division of Central Railway successfully carried out a 13-hour and 30-minute special traffic block on December 14 to dismantle a 103-year-old Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Solapur Yard. Solapur Railways demonstrated meticulous planning, strong inter-agency coordination and a passenger-centric approach. As per the release, decommissioning of old structures tends to throw up surprises – as this ROB did. Still, the Division was able to conclude the work in 12 hrs 45 min and open the complete Solapur yard for normal operations. Overview of the special traffic block The 19.7-metre-long ROB, constructed in 1922, had become structurally vulnerable and was severely restricting railway operations. Despite unexpected challenges typically associated with dismantling century-old structures, the Division completed the work 12 hours and 45 minutes ahead of schedule, allowing full restoration of train operations at Solapur Yard. The dismantling work was carried out by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in close coordination with Indian Railways, ensuring the protection of critical railway infrastructure throughout the operation. All key stakeholders, including the people's representatives, the municipal commissioner, the police commissioner and other state authorities, were briefed about this exercise through briefings and necessary arrangements. State government officials, appreciating the need for early dismantling of the ROB, extended their full cooperation to the Solapur Division. Need of dismantling the old ROB The ROB structure has reached the end of its life, and also it had put a 19.7 m noose on railway lines, severely impacting Solapur, which forced Solapur yard to not be able to handle speeds more than 15 kmph and necessitated the stoppage of all trains. Solapur serves the Mumbai-Chennai leg of Indian Railways’ golden quadrilateral – this ROB had adversely impacted the full utilisation of the capacity augmentation of IR’s GQ. The Solapur Division of the Central Railways also highlighted that the track could not be maintained to required standards, as the height between rails and ROB was limited. With petroleum loading set to double through IOCL siding at Pakni, near Solapur, this clearance started to affect confidence in moving inflammable cargo under this ROB. Furthermore, this ROB put limitations on economically carrying out Ro-Ro services from Bale towards the South Western Railway. Trains operated with minimal impact Train services were largely unaffected due to strategic planning. Key trains, including Vande Bharat Express, Karnataka Express, Siddheshwar Express and Mumbai–Chennai superfast services, operated with minimal disruption. Furthermore, help desks were set up at major stations, and alternative arrangements such as state transport buses and onboard catering were provided where required. To ensure transparency and passenger preparedness, the general public was well informed in advance about traffic disruptions, diversions, short terminations and originations, rescheduling and regulations through detailed press releases, social media platforms, official railway apps, route maps and SMS alerts. Execution of shadow blocks Additionally, the Division optimally utilised the block period to execute 21 shadow blocks across the Solapur–Wadi section, carrying out essential maintenance works and reducing the need for future traffic interruptions. The successful execution of this complex operation underscores Solapur Division’s commitment to infrastructure modernisation, safety and seamless passenger services.
17 December,2025 03:04 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSeveral Opposition MPs on Wednesday protested in Parliament premises over the National Herald case. The Congress MPs hold posters bearing the slogan "Satyamev Jayate; Truth prevails!". Congress MP Shashi Tharoor also took part in a protest against the goverment doing vendetta Politics in the National Herald. Earlier today, Karnataka Congress leaders also staged protests near the Gandhi statue at Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi against the Central government over the National Herald case and the decision to rename the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) as VB-G Ram G. During the protest, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said the National Herald was closely linked to India's freedom movement. "The National Herald is the pride of the country, established by Jawaharlal Nehru during the freedom movement," he said, questioning the actions of central agencies in the case. "Justice has prevailed. BJP should stop this vindictive politics," Shivakumar added. Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the National Herald case was being pursued with "political vendetta" by the ruling government, asserting that the matter was aimed solely at harassing the Gandhi family. Addressing the media on the issue, Kharge said there was no basis to the allegations and claimed that no First Information Report (FIR) had been registered in the case. "They are doing this for a political vendetta. This case is only to trouble the Gandhi family. There is no FIR in this case...Our slogan is 'Satyamev Jayate', and we welcome the judgment in the case," Kharge said. On Tuesday, the Delhi court declined to take cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate's prosecution complaint in the National Herald money-laundering case, holding that proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) are not maintainable in the absence of an FIR for the scheduled (predicate) offence.

17 December,2025 03:02 PM IST | New Delhi [India] | ANIThe Congress on Wednesday demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation after a Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED's money laundering charge against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case, reported news agency PTI. The opposition party also vowed to expose the "vendetta politics" against its leadership, asserting that the Congress cadre is agitated and is going to show its strength against the "misuse of agencies." "We will keep fighting them both inside and outside Parliament and teach them a lesson," party president Mallikarjun Kharge said at a press conference. In a relief to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and five others, a Delhi court on Tuesday refused to take cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate's money laundering charge against them in the National Herald case, holding that the agency's probe stemmed from a private complaint and not an FIR. "I want to say that after this judgement Modi and Shah should resign because it is like a slap on their face. They should give resignation as they should not harass people like this," Kharge said at the press conference, which he addressed with party leaders K C Venugopal, Abhishek Singhvi, Jairam Ramesh, and Pawan Khera, reported PTI. "They should know that if they do such things people will not tolerate it," he said. Kharge said the Congress has been fighting the issue politically by taking out marches when the top leadership was summoned by the probe agencies. "We have been fighting on the streets, in Parliament, outside it, and will continue to do it and teach them a lesson," he said. Venugopal asserted that the Congress will expose the "vendetta politics" of the Modi government. The entire Congress cadre is agitated and will show its strength all over India against the "misuse of agencies." Singhvi said the law has spoken louder than noise, and termed the National Herald case a story of political vendetta and harassment, reported PTI. Delivering his order in a case that was marked by a political slugfest and legal battles for several years, Special Judge Vishal Gogne said the cognisance of the ED's prosecution complaint relating to the offence of money laundering was "impermissible in law." The ED complaint was based on an investigation into a complaint by a private person, Subramanian Swamy, and not on an FIR of a predicate offence, the judge said. The court said it has now become premature and imprudent for it to decide the submissions made by the ED as well as the proposed accused in relation to the merits of the allegations, especially so when cognisance is liable to be declined on a pure question of law. "Other arguments possibly live to fight another day," it said. ED may file appeal against the court's order ED officials said the probe agency may file an appeal against the court's order after taking opinions from law officers, including Solicitor General Tushar Mehta. The ED has accused Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, as well as late party leaders Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, along with Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda, and a private company, Young Indian, of conspiracy and money laundering. It has been alleged that they acquired properties worth approximately Rs 2,000 crore belonging to Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which publishes the National Herald newspaper. Reacting to the order, the Congress on Tuesday claimed that the "illegality" of the Narendra Modi government and its "politically motivated prosecution stands fully exposed." In a statement, the Congress said the ED's proceedings against Congress leadership -- Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi -- in the case were found to be "completely illegal and mala fide" by the court.
