[ad_1] Prime Minister Narendra Modi has introduced a new mode of transportation in India with the inauguration of the priority section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS also known as NaMo Bharat. The train operated in this section will be operated on a 17-km stretch covering five stations in Uttar Pradesh. Later on, the rapid rail system will be integrated with other modes of transportation including Delhi Metro to develop a multi-modal transportation system. The citizens in Delhi are familiar with the Delhi Metro and have adopted it as one of their preferred means of transportation. However, the scenario is about to change because of the presence of RRTS. Seemingly similar, both of these train systems are significantly different from each other but are meant to improve public transport in NCT while functioning together.

[ad_1] Glenn Maxwell showed no mercy to the Netherlands bowlers and hit them to all parts of the ground during the 24th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 between Australia and the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, India, on Wednesday. Maxwell scored the fastest hundred in the history of the World Cup as the right-handed batter completed his ton in just 40 balls. The 35-year-old came to bat when the Aussies were 266-4 in 38 overs after they had just lost the wicket of Josh Inglis. Maxwell came in and started hitting the Dutch bowlers and scored 106 runs in total off just 44 deliveries courtesy of 17 boundaries, nine fours and eight sixes.

[ad_1] The historic Yamuna Bridge here whose construction over 150 years ago was considered an extraordinary engineering feat, was first opened for traffic in 1866, connecting Calcutta and Delhi on a continuous rail network for the very first time. The old bridge, popularly referred to as 'lohey ka pul' (iron bridge) has witnessed many floods in its over a century-and-a-half journey, so much so that it is also a reference point for measuring danger level for Yamuna water levels. The mighty river has been in spate for the last week, swelling to 207.71 metres on Wednesday, breaching its all-time record of 207.49 metres set in 1978, inundating several key areas in Delhi, after submerging the floodplains. With the raging river waters lapping close to its base, the landmark bridge -- a major lifeline of the Indian Railways -- has been temporarily closed for traffic movement as the river exceeded the evacuation mark earlier in the week. After breaching the 45-year record, wat...
