Union Minister Nitin Gadkari fainted at an election rally in Yavatmal, Maharashtra but recovered shortly and continued his campaign. He attributed the incident to the heat.

In February last year, 100 passengers got stranded in the middle of Chilika near Satapada while travelling in a floating bridge vessel. Reports claimed the vessel was on way from Satapada to Janhikuda when it developed a technical glitch.

The Minister was speaking at a function to celebrate the golden jubilee of Vasai Janata Cooperative Bank in Vasai town here.

Gadkari said that this innovative vehicle is based on the Innova Hycross and is engineered to adhere to India's stricter emission standards, marking it as the first-ever BS6 (Stage II) Electrified Flex Fuel Vehicle prototype globally.

Talking to media persons Tejashwi Yadav said, “We had a very positive conversation with the minister and had a discussion about the projects which were on hold since last 11 to 12 years in Bihar. We also discussed the road projects of Bihar.”

Accompanying state Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and BJP leader Jairam Thakur, Gadkari assessed the aftermath of the disaster that ravaged Kullu district.

According to sources, one Jayesh Pujari, a murder convict, was behind the threat calls. He was subsequently arrested from Belgavi jail in Karnataka. The Nagpur Police lodged a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against him

Gadkari acknowledged the rapid improvement in the tourism sector and cited the feedback received from the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, who reported a notable increase in tourist numbers compared to the previous year.

The calls were made from Hindalaga prison to the office of Gadkari in Nagpur city on March 21. The office has received three calls of threatening and extortion, the sources said.

Patnaik further pointed out that as many as 399 accidents have taken place during the last two years causing 196 fatalities. He added that there was public agitation and discontentment among the people for inordinate delay in completion of the road work. 

At least three calls were received by Gadkari's private office in the city - between 11.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. - and the caller purportedly uttered the name of absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar.

Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi on Sunday shot a letter to Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari seeking formal status of National Highway to New Jagannath Sadak. New Jagannath Sadak is the second most important road to Puri Jagannath Dham.

The MP pointed out how important the New Jagannath Sadak has been for Western and Southern Odisha as well as the States of Western India for connection with Puri and other coastal areas of Odisha.

International Road Federation (IRF), a global road safety body, has said this provision should not be time-bound but governed by the survey, indicating how many people are wearing rear seat belts.
