Panbazar road overbridge to be ready by July: NFR

Guwahati: Construction of the Panbazar road overbridge (ROB), which began last year, is expected to be completed by July, Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials said. The bridge is likely to ease traffic congestion in the Paltan Bazar and Panbazar areas, two of the city's oldest cosmopolitan areas. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "As of now, concretisation work on the bridge's approaches is going on. But most of the work has been completed, including laying the foundational structures, significant fabrications, and placing the bow string girders. Advanced sub-soil strengthening through geo-cell technology has also been completed. The project is expected to be complete by July this year," said Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, chief public relations officer, NFR. The construction work of the ROB has not been progressing on a smooth note. The CPRO said the presence of the fire brigade station posed a challenge in the stacking of construction materials, limiting workspace efficiency. Approximately Rs 48 crore in cost, the project was undertaken by a Kolkata-based construction company to facilitate the smooth movement of the electric locomotives as part of the NFR's ongoing electrification process, where high-voltage lines have been installed. However, the old ROB, which was built in 1965, had turned into a 'dead wire zone'. The area under the bridge was a neutral point, and since it was not charged, it restricted the speed permanently to 15 km/h. As a result, locomotives approaching Guwahati railway station failed to maintain the required momentum, causing them to halt in that area. "Waterlogging also used to be a recurring challenge, especially during heavy rains, causing signal failures and disruptions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With the necessary adjustments to this project, the lifted track levels will prevent waterlogging, ensuring smooth operations even during monsoons," Sharma said. He added that the new ROB will aim to address the limitations of its predecessor while introducing significant enhancements. With a span of 60 meters, it will provide improved vertical and horizontal clearance. It will also feature a three-lane wide road replacing its two-lane limitations, which will increase its capacity to handle higher volumes of road traffic as well, thus ensuring a smoother transportation system for commuters.

ICICI sought to acquire HDFC, reveals chairman Deepak Parekh

Former HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh and ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar MUMBAI: Former HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh, in a candid disclosure, said that then ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar had proposed a merger between the two lenders - well before HDFC's eventual reverse merger with its banking subsidiary. During an interaction with Kochhar on her channel, Parekh said: "I remember you talking to me once. I remember it very clearly. It's never been talked about in public, but I'm willing to share it now. You said that ICICI started HDFC. 'Why don't you come back home?' That was your offer." Parekh said he declined the offer, saying "it won't be fair" or "proper with our name and the bank and all". Parekh said the eventual merger with HDFC Bank, completed in July 2023, was driven mainly by regulatory pressure. RBI had classified NBFCs like HDFC, then holding assets over Rs 5 lakh crore, as systemically important, breaching the Rs 50,000-crore threshold. "RBI supported us and they pushed us into it to some extent and they helped us," he said. However, he added that there were "no concessions, no relief, no time, nothing". Describing the day the merger concluded, Parekh called it "a sad day and a happy day". He said, "It's good for the institution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders turn to IC Markets for optimum CFD trading conditions IC Markets Sign Up Undo It's good for the country to have large banks. Look at how large Chinese banks are. We have to be bigger, larger in India." Parekh believes that Indian banks must grow through acquisitions to become stronger in future. On broader economic concerns, Parekh cited persistent uncertainty in supply chains, trade policy, and export conditions as top CEO concerns. Calling insurance the "least understood product", Parekh criticised "mis-selling by banks" driven by high upfront commissions.
