Govt has stopped talking about present, now selling dreams of 2047: Rahul
New Delhi(PTI): The Modi government's 11 years have witnessed no accountability but only propaganda, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Monday and said the Centre has stopped talking about the present and is now selling dreams of 2047.
Gandhi's attack on the government came after at least four passengers were killed and six injured after falling off a moving and overcrowded local train in Maharashtra's Thane district.
In a post in Hindi on X, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, "While the Modi government is celebrating 11 years of 'service', the reality of the country is reflected in the tragic news coming from Mumbai – several people died after falling from a train."
Indian Railways is the backbone of the lives of crores of people, but today it has become a symbol of insecurity, congestion and chaos, he alleged.
"11 years of Modi government = no accountability, no change, only propaganda. The government has stopped talking about 2025 and is now selling dreams of 2047," Gandhi said.
"Who will look into what the country is facing today? I express my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and wish the injured a speedy recovery," he said.
The train incident occurred between Diva and Kopar railway stations when the train was going towards Kasara, a police official said.
The incident occurred probably after commuters hanging from the footboard of two overcrowded trains and their backpacks brushed against each other as the trains passed in opposite directions, railway officials said without confirming the number of fatalities.
जब मोदी सरकार 11 साल की “सेवा” का जश्न मना रही है, तब देश की हक़ीक़त मुंबई से आ रही दर्दनाक ख़बर में दिखती है - ट्रेन से गिरकर कई लोगों की मौत।

भारतीय रेल करोड़ों की ज़िंदगी की रीढ़ है, लेकिन आज असुरक्षा, भीड़ और अव्यवस्था की प्रतीक बन चुकी है।
मोदी सरकार के 11 साल = न…

Delhi to adopt fully digital system for time bound traffic challan disposal
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi government will soon implement amended Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, making the traffic challan process completely digital and time-bound, to curb violations and enhance road safety, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Sunday.
Under the new framework, avoiding challans will no longer be possible and timely resolution will be mandatory for all citizens. Importantly, violators will not be able to approach courts directly to contest a challan without first going through the prescribed process, said a Delhi CMO statement.
Anyone committing five or more traffic violations within a year will be classified as a "serious offender" and will risk suspension or disqualification of their driving licence under the amended rules, it said.
Gupta noted that the issuance of challans will now be fully modernised.
Police or authorised officers can issue challans either physically or electronically. In addition, violations captured through cameras and digital surveillance systems will automatically generate challans. The e-challans will be delivered within three days to the violators through their mobile numbers, and a physical notice will be delivered within 15 days.
Once a challan is issued, the violator will have 45 days to either pay the fine or challenge it before a grievance redressal officer through the online portal, supported by documentary evidence. If no action is taken within this period, the challan will be deemed accepted, and payment must be made within the next 30 days, the statement said.
If a challenge is rejected, the individual can either pay the fine within 30 days or approach the court after depositing 50 per cent of the challan amount.
Failure to act within the stipulated time will result in the challan being treated as accepted, with payment required within 15 days thereafter.
Payments can be made through electronic modes. The grievance redressal officer will be required to upload a decision on the portal within 30 days, it said.
The chief minister made it clear that once deadlines lapse, daily electronic notices will be issued. Continued non-payment will lead to restrictions on all vehicle-related services, including payment of taxes and processing of driving licence or registration-related requests.
The vehicle will be flagged on the official portal as 'not to be transacted,' effectively blocking any further transactions until the dues are cleared. In cases where necessary, and subject to court orders, police or authorised officers may also impound vehicles involved in violations.
All challans will be issued in the name of the registered vehicle owner, who will be notified via SMS, email or other digital means, it added.
