After Metro and Bullet Train, Gujarat Prepares for Rapid Rail Network; Five Satellite Towns to Get RRTS Connectivity

Ahmedabad: After introducing metro rail services and advancing the ambitious bullet train project, Gujarat is now preparing to launch a Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), similar to the Delhi–Meerut model.

Defence Plea Rejected The defence argued that the prosecution’s case was weakened because a doctor had advised a bone age test, but the investigating agency failed to conduct it.

Do Not Depend Only on RSS, Work Within Your Communities for Larger Hindu Society: Mohan Bhagwat

Gorakhpur: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday urged society members not to rely solely on the RSS for social transformation, and instead take responsibility at their own level by engaging in discussions within their caste and community groups for the welfare of the larger Hindu society.

One must reflect on what we are doing for the Hindu society,” he said while responding to questions raised by representatives present at the mee...
