Vijayanagar junction set to benefit
One level of the double decker flyover at the Vijayanagar junction in Velachery being constructed at a cost of ₹108 crore is nearing completion. The structure in the second level at a height of 15 metres that will allow traffic from Taramani to the Velachery bypass has been constructed and the final bituminous tar layer is being laid in portions. Sources in the Highways Department said that the second-level flyover is 1,200 m long and will allow one-way traffic like the other level, which is coming up at a height 5.5 m. “The first level flyover of 640 m length will take three more months to complete as there are still five more spans, including two over junctions to be completed. The works would be carried out simultaneously,” said an official source.More Related News

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.
