The condition of the garden in Udyog Nagar is bad due to lack of maintenance: Lights are not working in the garden built at a cost of lakhs, sports equipment is also damaged
The garden, which is under the control of the Municipal Corporation and is located in the Udyog Nagar area, has reached a very dangerous condition due to the gross neglect and lack of maintenance of the administration. The Municipal Corporation has sanctioned Rs. 3 years ago for the entertainment and movement of citizens, elders and children. The garden was prepared at a cost of Rs 20 to 25 lakh. Due to the absence of a single light in the garden, the entire area is in a state of utter darkness at night. Children's play equipment, slippers, rides and exercise equipment are in a dilapidated con

A very shocking incident has come to light in the well-known Delta Career Academy in Junagadh city, which brings shame to education and humanity.

'You are surrounded from all sides, raise all hands': Mafia changed route to smuggle drugs but Gujarat could not escape the eye of ATS, this is how the operation was carried out in collaboration with the Coast Guard
Gujarat ATS and Coast Guard conducted a joint operation in the Arabian Sea and apprehended 5 Pakistanis near Lakshadweep with 526 kg of MD drugs worth approximately Rs 3000 crore. During the last few years, drugs worth crores of rupees were seized from the coast of Gujarat and the drug mafia chose another route to smuggle the drugs, but could not escape the eyes of the ATS. Just 20 days ago, the Gujarat ATS received a tip-off and a team of 2 PIs along with the Coast Guard were involved in the investigation. With the help of satellites, the boat was traced continuously for 19 days and finally a
Vadodara Welcomes PM Modi, But Citizens Ask: Clean City for One Day or Accountable City Every Day?
Vadodara, September 9, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Vadodara on Tuesday and inaugurated, dedicated and laid foundation stones for development projects worth more than ₹35,000 crore. Official announcements highlighted major railway, highway, urban-development, solar, housing and water-supply projects, including three key sections of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and projects of the Gujarat government. According to published figures, the programme involved projects worth over ₹35,200 crore, including more than ₹32,606 crore of Central Government works and more than
Ankle deep again: A little rain, a big bill, and a city that keeps asking why?
It doesn't take a cloudburst to bring Vadodara to a standstill anymore. This monsoon, residents once again woke to submerged lanes, stalled two‑wheelers and water lapping at shop shutters after only a modest spell of rain. Continuous heavy rain left water accumulated on the city's main roads, disrupting daily life. For a city that markets itself as a "Sanskari Nagari" and a Smart City aspirant, the question writes itself on every waterlogged street corner: where does all the money go? The paradox: modest rain, maximum chaos: The numbers tell an uncomfortable story. Vadodara's
E20 Petrol: The Hidden Water Cost Behind India's "Green Fuel" Push — Is the Math Really Adding Up?
The Great Ethanol Paradox: Are We Burning Water to Save Petrol? India's ambitious ethanol blending programme has been celebrated as a shining success story of energy independence. India achieved 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol in March 2025, five years ahead of target, and the Government is now aggressively pushing for E85 and E100 flex-fuel adoption. But beneath the glossy press releases lies an uncomfortable question that every Indian citizen deserves an answer to: at what real cost? While official communication celebrates carbon savings, a growing body of scientific evide
Welcome to Vadodara, where water logging is a tradition, and corruption is the city's only true infrastructure.
VADODARA — There was a time in Vadodara when the scent of wet earth brought joy, when children danced in the first showers, and a hot cup of chai made the monsoon magical. Today, a single dark cloud over the city triggers a primal fear. In Vadodara, rain is no longer a weather event; it is a municipal apocalypse. It takes exactly two to three inches of rainfall to transform this "cultural capital" of Gujarat into a sprawling, murky swimming pool. Roads vanish, cars submerge, and neighborhoods are marooned. The monsoon, once a romantic respite, is now an annual hostage situation. And the
THE GREAT DEREGULATION LIE — "MARKET-LINKED" PRICES THAT NEVER GO DOWN
On October 19, 2014, the Narendra Modi government announced with great fanfare that petrol and diesel prices would henceforth be "deregulated" and linked to international market prices. It sounded like a reform. It turned out to be a one-way valve — open to price hikes, permanently sealed against price cuts. The Tax Heist of 2014–2016: The evidence is damning and in the public domain. Between June 2014 and October 2018, the retail selling prices did not adhere to changes in global crude oil prices. The global prices fell sharply between June 2014 and January 2016, and then subsequently
Grand start of Mata Narmada Parikrama 2026, but more promotion than devotion? Question of facilities, transparency, and values in front of historic faith
