SHOCKING! Three people shot dead in broad daylight in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. Shivaji Tiwari, his brother Shivendra Tiwari and his son Suyash Tiwari lost their lives after a neighbourhood dispute allegedly escalated into firing over car parking. Three lives lost over a dispute that should never have turned deadly. How can people pull out guns and take lives over petty disagreements? Where is the fear of the law? Strictest action must follow. No dispute is worth three human lives. #Lucknow #UttarPradesh @lkopolice

Thank you for flagging this. We recognise the concerns regarding infrastructure at Siruseri SIPCOT IT Park and the inconvenience caused to employees and commuters. Be assured, steps are being taken to address these issues. A work order has been issued to upgrade the 3rd Cross Road, from CH 0/590 to Pudhupakkam Junction near the TNEB substation, with completion scheduled for January 2027. The tender for relaying the cover slab and reconstructing drains on the 1st Main Road at SIPCOT IT Park is scheduled to open towards end of this month. For the improvement of the 1.5 km stretch of village roads connecting the SIPCOT boundary to Pudhupakkam village, a formal letter has been sent to the Chengalpattu District Collector. We are also coordinating with the Rural Development Department on this matter. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru C. Joseph Vijay, we remain fully committed to delivering robust and seamless infrastructure for everyone.
