Public transport in miles to unleash the true potential of the city is currently driven by 130 busses our people and India’s ancient procured by VMC under JnNURM heritage. which ferry close to 20,500 passengers per day. Reliance on them is low on account of intermittent and irregular ****** service. Intermediate transport in the city is driven by a combination of e- Rickshaws and cycle rickshaws who do not have a standard fare. Encouragingly, vehicle sharing as a concept appears acceptable to the local populace as is evident from the use of e-Rickshaws. The city’s traffic density is primarily comprised of two wheelers which account for 79% of vehicles against a minor 7% attributed to cars. Citizens regularly voiced their need/desire for an effective and reliable public transport system which would help in decongesting roads, reducing pollution and yet be comfortable for everyone to travel in. Towards improving intra-city transport, the following solutions are proposed for long, intermediate and short trips: • Multi-modal transportation hubs with Metro and other public transport • Integrated traffic management system with CCTV surveillance • Smart multi-level parking in the city for reducing congestion • e-Rickshaws for clean last mile connectivity • Development of waterways as an INDIA SMART CITY MISSION

This is the name given to the collection of poems by the celebrated Bengali poet, musician, revolutionary and philosopher, Kazi Nazrul Islam. He was born in Burdwan district in 1899 and died in Dhaka in 1976. He is the national poet of Bangladesh, and also honoured in India.

She took over reigns of the kingdom after the death of her husband and father-in-law. She moved the capital to Maheshwar south of Indore on the Narmada River. She also built temples and Dharamshalas (free lodging)at sacred sites outside her kingdom, at prominent religious places like Dwarka, Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi, Ujjain, Nasik, Parli Vaijnath and Somnath. The city of Indore is sometimes called Ahilyanagari in her memory.
