Ranaghat flyover on NH12 became operational in March 2024

Ranaghat flyover on NH12 (erstwhile, NH34) is officially open for vehicular traffic movement wef mid March 2024.  Even as on 2024-04-13, both way traffic are being directed through single flanks of the flyover. Vehicular traffic are expected to move seamlessly on both lanes within end April 2024.  The videos were filmed on 2024-04-13 and sent to me for the benefit of Indian Roadie members/ followers by my brothers-in-law who are the owners of Manorama Hospitex, a 400+ bed super speciality hospital (and also an Indian Roadie Preferred Hospital) in Ranaghat, Nadia district, West Bengal.  For the uninitiated who can't drive without the dumb online navigation maps, the hospital is on the left flank of NH12 as one drives down from Kolkata/ Barasat/ Chakdaha towards Krishnanagar/ Baharampore/ Farakka/ Malda.  Roadies will no more be held up in inordinately long jams at the railway level crossing in Ranaghat which is just about 150 mtrs on the right (from where the video was clicked) towa

BRO has connected the Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road in Ladakh on 2024-03-25

Image
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) connected the strategic Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road in Ladakh on Monday 2024-03-25. This 298-km road will connect Manali to Leh through Darcha and Nimmu on Kargil – Leh Highway. The road is now the third axis apart from Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh, which connects Ladakh to the hinterland. The Nimmu-Padam-Darcha road derives its strategic importance from the fact that it is not only shorter vis-a-vis the other two axes, but crosses only one pass; Shinkun La (16,558 feet) on which tunnel work is about to commence by the BRO.  .  .  .  * Indian Roadie Infrastructure Projects  * Ladakh Trails

Video review of Asansol Energy Fuel Station

A car owner (in dark blue T-shirt) from near Kolkata had stopped for refuelling at Asansol Energy Fuel Station (IOCL), on NH19 near Ghagarburi Mandir in Asansol, WB while driving back home from Purulia via NH19 in January 2024.  The customer was overwhelmed by the ambiance and overall refuelling experience at the IndianRoadiePreferredFillingStation. He gladly agreed to express his happiness in front of the camera. Our fellow Indian Roadie, Sandip Samanta ho's the owner of AEFS and also my school classmate, is an an avid road travel lover himself. As a a token of appreciation for the good words the gentleman from Kolkata was presented a bunch of fresh organic coriander leaves from the field adjoining the filling station which obviously delighted the customer immensely.  .  .  .  * It Pays To Be Proactive In Indian Roadie
