Karnataka PWD section, MH border to TG border SH-10, maintained by KRDCL, executed by GVR, RMN Infrastructures & Pratyusha shipping Smooth 2 lane roads with tolls, concession upto 30 years, but like MH section there will be speed breakers & rumblers often to watch out (9/n)

That completes the NHAI sections, now moving on to sections by Maharashtra & Karnataka PWD Maharashtra PWD section Murum-Akkalkot section NH-548B, maintained by MSRDC, stretch is decent but with patches of bad roads, speed breakers near towns & turns to prevent accidents (8/n)

For the strengthening project for 1st package like I mentioned earlier, is usually done by concessionaire, but since both the concessionaires have left the road construction (IL&FS is bankrupt) now its upto NHAI to bring out tender for maintenance and give it to 3rd party (7/n)

That completes the NHAI section, the traffic on Pune-Solapur route has started rising because the Satara-Kagal section of NH-48 is currently undergoing 6 laning & has become slower To be continued... (6/n)

Moving onto next road, NH-150, Solapur-Akkalkot built by GR Infraprojects The section being concrete has decent quality, the PQC isnt top notch like Yamuna Expressway but manageable with a few bumps although need to watch out for that MSRDC toll for CVs that feels illegal (5/n)

The blackspot rectification in the 2nd package, the contractor AK Shivhare Infrastructure is doing substandard job resulting in slowdown of heavy vehicles on service roads and congestion during evening hours (not to mention the MH-12 & MH-14 drivers discipline) (4/n)

Pune-Solapur 2nd package built by IL&FS, the section was subcontracted to GHV India, places where blackspot rectification is going on has resulted in massive crater like potholes due to construction vehicles passing through it To be Continued... (3/n)

Roads under NHAI NH-65 Pune-Solapur, NH-150 Solapur-Akkalkot In Pune-Solapur 1st package built by Tata Realty & Infrastructure Limited, 1st subcontract built by IJM, surface quality has started to wear out after a decade compared to 2nd subcontract by Oriental Engineers (2/n)

Did Pune to Mantralayam trip over the weekend, and here is the analysis & conditions Starting with the Roads that come under NHAI then with the Roads that come under Karnataka & Maharashtra PWD (1/n)

@akshayakrishnaa @Retiredraintree @BallalPrashanth another one, used BMTC Bus dumped Thankfully in the comment section non-migrated folks are supporting private buses As usual migrated folks will justify this over private buses https://t.co/s4LOIU2ya4

Meanwhile coastal Karnataka folks: our buses are katkats, mafias that should be closed and should have State Transport Buses Meanwhile the State Transport Buses Government gives: @7071Kt @Retiredraintree @vijeshetty @akshayakrishnaa @BallalPrashanth

When Private operator do it, its Mafia But if Government does it, its progress No special trains announced for Malabar region (Train to MAQ via PGT, CLT) instead Kerala KSRTC will run their new sleeper-cum-seater buses for state over Railways for ₹5000+ https://t.co/jhlT0WYVVI

2000s kids would definitely remember this coming around Ganesh Chaturthi P.S- If the 1st movie came out in today's time it would be stuck in gender related bs by some sensitive folks @kidfrmmountain

@Ananth_Krishna_ @IndusFederalist @sangeeth_gvr @IndusFederalist and as usual redditors when they were looking at the spy shots, they all said

The full refreshed fleet of Kerala KSRTC @Ananth_Krishna_ @IndusFederalist @sangeeth_gvr From Left to Right AC Seater, FP Link, FP, AC Seater-Cum-Sleeper, SFP, Ordinary/LS, AC-Sleeper & finally the Volvo At the end it's just KB Ganesh reviving his assets

And finally, from paper it's on ground reality @Ananth_Krishna_ @IndusFederalist Today inauguration of the full refreshed fleet of Kerala KSRTC

MSRDC realises the issue with Virar-Alibaug and cuts off the 2nd part of the corridor and makes a new greenfield alignment from Chirle to Rewas & finally connecting to Alibaug The Northern half still remains in dispute...

However.. they change the alignment somehow, there is some babu with sense knocked in, and they realign the spur and integrate it with the Mumbai-Pune Expressway's Kon Interchange and somehow end it before Kolkhe town

Alternative Timeline: Government of Maharashtra realises that Delhi-Mumbai Expressway JNPT spur ends in the middle of nowhere, Since tenders are financially stuck, they hand it over to NHAI, NHAI takes Package-18 from them & executes in war footing However..
