FOBs put on hold for highway expansion
The Hindu
No nod for three FOBs on NH-65
Construction of proposed foot over bridges at a few locations on the city roads has been put on hold owing to objections from the National Highways.
This has acted as a deterrent to the civic authorities from proposing new FOBs on these stretches where they are sorely needed.
National Highways wing of the Roads and Buildings department has not given a green signal for at least three FOBs on the NH- 65, which is one of the major arterial roads in the city, with lakhs of vehicles traversing every day.

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
