Lucknow/Gorakhpur: People taking the Gorakhpur link expressway will enjoy a world-class experience as cutting-edge Swiss technology has been used to improve the quality of ride.
To enhance mobility and accessibility in the region, the state govt has tied up with ETH Zurich, a Switzerland-based entity, to provide the technology to upgrade quality of ride and experience for vehicle owners using the stretch.
The same technology is also being used in Ganga Expressway and in the maintenance of other operational expressways across the state.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate the 91.3-km long high-speed corridor on June 20.
Through calibration, vibrations, and AI-based inputs, the independent experts from Switzerland ensured that motorists experience no bumps, roughness, or abnormal noise levels while commuting on the Gorakhpur link expressway.
Using advanced vibration technology, accelerometer-based sensors, and S-motion sensors, the expressway's four-lane ride quality was scientifically evaluated. The equipment was installed in a specially outfitted Innova vehicle, which collected data during test runs.
The assessment was carried out in collaboration with ETH Zurich and its spin-off firm, RTDT Laboratory AG.
Based on detailed analysis, UP Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) implemented targeted improvements to ensure optimal ride experience.
A senior officer at the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) said that the CM's office had been constantly monitoring the progress of the project.
Though work on the project commenced in Feb 2020, the project got delayed due to some roadblocks. "Among major hurdles stalling the completion of the project was the change of the course of the Ghaghra. A portion of an embankment built for the safety of a major bridge constructed between Ambedkar Nagar and Gorakhpur was washed away last year after the monsoon, and repair works took time," an official said.

Rs 26 lakhs awarded to employee for not working a single day for four months. Here's what happened
A man in Abu Dhabi has been awarded AED 110,400 (approximately Rs 26 lakh) in unpaid wages, despite never having started work at the company that hired him. The decision came after a court ruled in the employee's favour, highlighting that the delay in his joining was entirely the employer's fault. Employee Signed Contract But Never Got to Work As per a report by Khaleej Times, the employee, whose identity has not been disclosed, signed a fixed-term employment contract with an Abu Dhabi-based company. The agreement promised a basic monthly salary of AED 7,200, with a total compensation package of AED 24,000. The contract covered the period from November 11, 2024, to April 7, 2025. However, despite this agreement, the individual was never actually permitted to begin work. Frustrated by repeated delays and the absence of any opportunity to start his job, the man eventually filed a lawsuit seeking his withheld salary for the contract period. The court accepted his claim and ordered the company to compensate him for four months and 18 days of unpaid wages, after deducting eight days he admitted to being on leave. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60 m² Prefab Bungalow for Seniors in Tanza Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Court Places Responsibility on Employer The Abu Dhabi Labour Court held the employer accountable for the delay in onboarding. Citing Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021, the court underlined that employers are legally required to pay wages on time, following standards set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. It also referred to Article 912 of the Civil Transactions Law, which states that a worker's right to wages cannot be denied unless the employee has formally waived that right or acknowledged non-entitlement. The court examined various documents including the wage report, employment contract, and case file, and found that the fault clearly lay with the company. The evidence confirmed that the delay was not caused by the employee, as the employer had failed to provide any proof of misconduct or absenteeism. Employer's Argument Rejected by Court In response to the lawsuit, the company argued that the employee had taken leave and never reported to duty. However, the court found no records or documentation to support this claim. No formal investigation had been conducted into the employee's alleged absence. Consequently, the court dismissed the company's justification and concluded that the employee's failure to start work was directly linked to the employer's own inaction.

CBI busts Rs 183.21 cr fake bank guarantee scam, make 2 arrests
Bhopal: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has busted a Rs 183.21 crore fake bank guarantee scam with the arrest of two persons — including a senior manager of Punjab National Bank. The arrests were made in Kolkata following a multi-state operation. The crackdown comes after the High Court of Madhya Pradesh directed the CBI to probe allegations involving forged bank guarantees submitted by an Indore-based company to Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Limited (MPJNL). Acting on these directions, the CBI registered three separate cases on May 9, 2025. The company in question had secured three major irrigation contracts in 2023 from the MP Jal Nigam, collectively valued at Rs 974 crore. To meet the contractual requirements, it submitted eight fake bank guarantees worth Rs 183.21 crore, purportedly issued by PNB. MPJNL initially received e-mail confirmations that appeared to originate from PNB's official domain. Later these were found to be fraudulent and based on these forged confirmations, the agency awarded the high-value contracts to the company. Following preliminary findings, the CBI launched an extensive search operation on June 19 and 20, 2025, across 23 locations spanning five states — Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Gujarat, Jharkhand, and New Delhi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Teaneck: Stunning New 2-Bed Senior Apartments (Take A Peek Inside) Senior Apartments | Search Ads Click Here Undo The operation led to the arrest of two persons from Kolkata, one of whom is a senior PNB manager suspected of direct involvement in the scam.

The CBI is continuing its probe to identify all those involved in the conspiracy. More arrests and seizures are expected as investigators trace financial records and digital evidence linked to similar frauds in other regions.
