Hutatma Chowk

Hutatma Chowk ("Martyrs' Square, officially, Hutatma Smarak Chowk, "Martyrs Memorial Square") is a square in South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The square hosts Flora Fountain and was known by that name until 1961 when it was officially renamed in memory of the members of Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti, who died when police fired upon their peaceful demonstration in 1956. A statue of a "Martyr with a Flame" stands next to Flora Fountain. History Hutatma Chowk is located in the busy financial district of Fort. It derives its present name from an incident in 1956 when a peaceful demonstration by the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti (United Maharashtra Committee) was fired upon by the police resulting in 106 deaths. The incident was part of ongoing struggles of the Samyukta Maharashtra Samiti, amongst others, for the creation of the State of Maharashtra. The shooting proved to be a major impetus for the creation of Maharashtra on 1 May 1960. The Hutatma Chowk square is lined on all sides by buildings constructed during the British Raj. An ornate fountain surrounded by delicately carved figures forms the center of the huge square. This was the Flora Fountain. The fountain itself was built in 1864 and represents the Roman Goddess Flora, the Goddess of Abundance. Today, it is a heritage structure. It cost Rs. 47,000 to build, a large sum at the time, and was constructed by the Agri-Horticultural Society of Western India. Cursetjee Fardoonjee Parekh donated Rs.20,000 towards the construction of this fountain. The fountain was carved from stone that was imported from Portland. It was built in honour of Sir Bartle Frere, who was the Governor of Bombay at the time. Sir Bartle was responsible for dismantling Bombay Fort and shaping much of modern Mumbai. Initially it was to be named after the Governor but the name was changed before the fountain was unveiled. When it was constructed, it was in the middle of the city. Flora fountain stands in exactly the same place where the original Churchgate of Bombay Fort stood. The area around Flora Fountain is the business center of Mumbai and is surrounded by offices, banks, colleges and shops. Gallery References

LIGO-India

LIGO-India est un projet de détecteur d'ondes gravitationnelles près de la ville d'Aundah, dans le district d'Hingoli en Inde, qui devrait voir le jour à l'horizon 2030. Il reprend une conception pratiquement identique aux détecteurs LIGO existants, réutilisant des composants développés pour ceux-ci. Son développement et sa construction sont dirigés par le consortium IndIGO (Indian Initiative in Gravitational Wave Observations). Objectifs scientifiques Il est prévu que LIGO-India ait une sensibilité similaire à celle des deux détecteurs LIGO actuels. Il est estimé qu'il pourrait permettre d'augmenter le nombre de détections de coalescences de binaires compactes de 40 à 50%, et sensiblement améliorer la mesure de leurs paramètres. En particulier, son orientation très différente des détecteurs existants (due à sa localisation en Asie) devrait permettre une forte amélioration de la localisation des sources. Historique Le projet de LIGO-India est né en 2009, avec la formation du consortium IndIGO. Initialement, il est envisagé comme une coopération avec l'initiative australienne ACIGA, qui prévoyait alors un détecteur en Australie, AIGO. Le projet n'est finalement pas financé par le gouvernement australien, donnant naissance à un projet de détecteur en Inde, LIGO-India, en 2011 ; le consortium IndIGO rejoint la collaboration LIGO la même année. Le gouvernement indien s'engage dans le projet en 2016. Initialement envisagé pour un début des opérations en 2022, le projet débute sérieusement ses opérations dans les années 2020. En 2023, le gouvernement indien alloue officiellement les 320 millions de dollars nécessaires à la construction du détecteur. En 2024, le site du futur détecteur est déjà acquis, et sa mise en service prévue pour le début des années 2030. Début 2026, il est annoncé que la construction de l'infrastructure du détecteur est attribuée à Larsen & Toubro, prévoyant une durée de deux ans pour la construction.

Khapra Kodiya Caves

The Khapra Kodiya Caves are part of the Junagadh Buddhist Cave Group. They are the oldest of the caves in the group. The caves, on the basis of scribbles and short cursive letters on the wall, are dated to 3rd-4th century BCE during the Emperor Ashoka's rule and are the plainest of all the caves in the groups. These caves are also known as Khangar Mahal. They were carved in rock during the reign of Emperor Ashoka and are considered the earliest monastic settlement in the area. These caves are along the edge of the ancient Sudarshan Lake (which no longer exists) and a little outside Uparkot fort, to the north. The caves are carved out in an east–west longitudinal ridge. They are small in area. But the architecture of the water tanks is unique, and the caves form an L-shaped residence. Caves were used by bhikkus during vassa period. After many years of use, they were abandoned because cracks within the caves let water seep into living quarters, rendering them unusable. Many accounts say that after this, the monks left for Maharashtra, where they went on to carve many similar and more elaborate structures. Khapara Kodia was damaged by later quarrying, and now only the highest story remains. References

Ram Jhula, Nagpur

The Ram Jhula consists of two parallel cable-stayed railway over-bridges in Nagpur, India. The 606.74 metres (1,990.6 ft) long bridge crosses the railway tracks north of Nagpur Junction railway station. The Blue Line of the Nagpur Metro runs along the centre of the bridge on the eastern side. History A bridge was originally built by the British in 1927 to connect what was then Old Nagpur and New Nagpur that lay across the tracks of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR, the precursor to Central Railway. The South East Central Railway and Nagpur Municipal Corporation were informed by the British contractors that the bridge had lasted its guaranteed service life and hence be kept out of bounds for heavy vehicles. Subsequently, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) was handed over the responsibility to demolish and reconstruct the bridge. Reconstruction The MSRDC began work in 2006 by building a three-lane cable-stayed bridge parallel to the old bridge. The bridge was built by Afcons, a subsidiary of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. As per the plan, the old bridge would be demolished once the parallel bridge was open to traffic following which a second three-lane bridge would be built, bringing the total number of lanes to six. However, a dispute arose between MSRDC and the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro) over the alignment of the Blue Line of the Nagpur Metro. MahaMetro sought permission to build the metro between the two bridges but the MSRDC refused. In 2016, the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to resolve the matter. Subsequently, MSRDC and MahaMetro agreed to integrate the two structures. The last 200 metres (660 ft) of the second bridge would be built by the latter with two levels with the metro at the upper level before proceeding towards the railway station. References
