As the endless wait continued for Shimla bus there was not much to do at Solan's New Bus Stand which was much different from bus stand in Poland. The one which I spotted and boarded I realised that it was in a dilapidated state and during course of journey passengers would surely berate. I deboarded the bus in nick of time and few minutes later I boarded Mehta Coach bus which looked to be fine.
The bus starts at 12.18 pm and reach Kather at 12.22 where some other passengers board who are not few and have the clue. At 12.42 Shimla is 42 km and Shoghi 33 km. From 12.45 onwards we are amidst surroundings where flyover is under construction and metalled road being laid by those who wage day to day battle away from cage. Here thoughts are on Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC) as well as on Mr Biden and hill station in Tamil Nadu Udhagamandalam where efforts to keep pollution free is more than centum. At 1 pm reach Kandaghat where occasionally people blurt. At 1.15 there is Board of Jaypee University Of Information Technology, Board of L R Group of Institutes and Board of Chitkara University. From 1.20 onwards there is no road construction activity spotted with road travel challenges possibly thwarted.
Long Lasting Solution To Traffic Snarl
At 1.20 we reach Shoghi Check Post and at 1.32 Snowhill Online Examination Centre where some engage in banter. At 1.32 Shimla is 14 km and at 1.34 we are in Main Bazar Shoghi which has round the year weather surety. At 1.40 Shimla is 10 and Narkanda 71 where day to night offenders are not on the run. At 1.43 we spot Board of Himachal Law University where exams are not conducted in brevity. From 1.45 onwards we are stuck in traffic snarl which refuses to recede and holds the probability of a brawl. It is way past 2.30 the traffic gets cleared given the fact that the number of private vehicles entering Shimla is huge no matter how fearsome is the deluge. The long lasting solution is a levy of Rs 1500 per passengers per vehicle of non Himachal Pradesh STATES (if there are five persons in a vehicle the levy would be Rs 7500) and this task may not be arduous and entire exercise carried out by gentlemen who are courteous. A database of vehicles belonging to Himachal Pradesh (Himachal Pradesh Is A State In India) is drawn and these vehicles have a special logo pasted on the windscreen and there should be no room for irregularities even if vehicle owner has gone past seventies. If we have to save Himachal Pradesh there has to be segregation of Himachal vehicle and non Himachal vehicle and henceforth levy imposed and from Shimla border itself fewer and fewer private vehicles be allowed and there should be plying of electric buses alone that would take them to new bus stand / old bus stand no matter how voluble is their rant. SAVE SHIMLA SAVE HIMACHAL is the war cry as this state is in desperate need of an eco-friendly solution that one could try.
At 2.30 Shimla is 4 km and at 2.40 we reach Shimla New Bus Stand. Board electric bus and reach old bus stand at 3 pm. This Solan-Shimla Ride would be remembered for the innumerable twists and turns that road journey came with traffic blues giving little clues. A cluttered Shimla doesn't look good; there should be a limit on number of days tourists stay to let Shimla retain its hood.
SRI PADMAVATI AMMAVAN TEPPOTSAVALU ON SVBC WAS GOOD. GARUDA VAHANAM WAS EQUALLY GOOD.
UK Should Honour Northern Ireland Protocol; UK Should Stop Deporting Migrants to Rwanda
It is important that UK honour Northern Ireland Protocol. Protocol aimed at avoiding hard border and here UK wants to put checks on goods entering Northern Ireland. EU is opposed to UK to make changes to Post BREXIT Northern Ireland Deal and here EU's stance is correct.
UK SHOULD STOP SENDING MIGRANTS TO RWANDA AND IT SHOULD DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING AS DEPORTING THEM BY PLANE SMACKS OF ARROGANCE.
According to a UN report Myanmar's Junta is hellbent on torturing children. This torture is having an impact on economic, social and cultural rights of children. Humanitarian aid is being denied to children and over 7.8 million children are out of school. There is a need for course correction. If close to 8 million children are out of school it mirrors the intent of Junta and its nasty designs.
Release Of Ecuador Indigenous People's Movement Leader Mr Leonidas Iza
The release of Ecuador Indigenous People's Movement Leader Mr Leonidas Iza who was protesting against high fuel, food and fertiliser prices was the solo option that Ecuador Regime was left with. Important to note less than three years ago the Indigenous Group forced govt to reduce the prices of essentials and the regime of that time cave in to their justified demands. We hail Ecuador's Indigenous Group.
Record Floods Hit Yellowstone National Park
Record floods hit Yellowstone National Park in the US and the territory received two months of rain in three days. And there is lesson to be learnt for Shimla and other places as climate change is a challenge that won't recede if corrective measures are not taken.
President Mr Biden's Request To Seven Major Oil Companies
President Mr Biden has asked seven major oil companies to ramp up oil production as gasoline prices have hit a 40-year high and oil companies should heed to his request. The President's Visit To Saudi Arabia May Bring In Good Tidings.
Al Jazeera in The Stream focused on what can be done to make Nigeria safe and here all sides have to do the needful. Polls in Nigeria are due in 2023 and hope it throws up credible leaders. We Hope for the best for Nigeria and Africa. Al Jazeera's reports are extensive and so are the reports of CNN.
