Relief news has arrived for millions of people commuting on the SG Highway, which serves as the lifeline of Ahmedabad city. The state-of-the-art elevated corridor from Iscon Junction to Sarkhej Cross Road is now fully ready. This massive flyover, constructed at an estimated cost of ₹464 crore, will be grandly inaugurated on November 9 by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah. With the commencement of this corridor, commuters from Gandhinagar to Sarkhej will receive direct connectivity without any signals, which will permanently eliminate traffic jams during peak hours.
According to a report by Sandesh, motorists previously had to wait for 15 to 25 minutes at traffic signals at the junctions between Iscon and Sarkhej. However, once on this elevated corridor, this distance can be covered in just a few minutes. The project has utilised technology capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads, ensuring motorist safety and modern lighting. This facility will result in significant savings of both time and fuel for thousands of people commuting towards Sanand, Bopal, or SG Highway.
During the programme to be held on November 9, Amit Shah will present public welfare works worth a total of ₹1,000 crore for Ahmedabad city and district. Out of this total amount, completed development works worth ₹700 crore will be inaugurated, while foundation stones for new important projects worth the remaining ₹300 crore will be laid. Preparations by the administration and the organisation are in the final stages for this event, and a large number of citizens and workers are expected to attend.
Political activities are also intensifying. Participating in the ‘Loktantra Bachao, Anarkata Hatao’ march in Hyderabad, Amit Shah launched sharp attacks on Rahul Gandhi. He stated that Rahul Gandhi could never become Prime Minister in a true Parliament and had organised a fake Parliament in Delhi. Shah further added that there is no match for Modi ji against Rahul Gandhi and that the Congress had committed scams worth ₹12 lakh crore during its 10-year rule, whereas there are no allegations of corruption in Modi ji's 12-year rule. He also clarified regarding the SIR, stating that no SIR occurred in the 2014, 2019, or 2024 elections.
The controversy regarding the Election Commission's SIR process is also at its peak. Amit Shah had challenged the opposition to discuss this subject in Parliament and said the government is ready to call a special session. However, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha leader Derek O'Brien responded to this allegation by sharing a video on X. Showing a video of the proceedings from December 1, 2025, O'Brien said that the INDIA alliance had demanded a discussion on the SIR but the BJP had blocked it. Amidst this controversy, workers including Neha Bora held a protest in Delhi, where police detained some individuals.
Additionally, Amit Shah will play a significant role in the Deepotsav to be held in Ayodhya on November 7. He will perform the Rajtilak of Lord Shri Ram in the role of Maharishi Vashistha. Previously, this tradition was performed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. During Deepotsav, Shah will also perform a Maha Aarti with 5100 lamps on the banks of the Sarayu, in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Governor Anandiben Patel. To make this event grand, a helicopter will be used as a symbol of the Pushpak Viman, and the entire Ayodhya will be illuminated. The programme will be telecast live via LED screens in various parts of the city.
Regarding weather conditions, four days after Cyclone Arnab, Cyclone Murasu has hit the coast of Andhra Pradesh at a speed of 110 kmph. Due to this, 19 flights have been cancelled at 3 airports, including Vijayawada, and schools have been closed in Chennai. The Meteorological Department has issued an alert for waves 1.5 to 2 metres high in the sea. 37 teams of the NDRF have been deployed across 5 states. On the other hand, pollution has increased in Delhi-NCR, but the Supreme Court has permitted the sale of green crackers from November 4 to 6, while the ban will be re-imposed from November 9.
Major changes are also being observed in Israeli politics, where reports suggest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ready to form a government with opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, although no official response has been received from Eisenkot.
Amit Shah plays a crucial role in the Government of India as the Union Home and Cooperation Minister.
