NHAI to issue tender for Pinjore-Baddi highway
NHAI has announced plans to shortly float tenders for the four-laning of 36-km-long Pinjore-Baddi highway. The cost of the project has now increased from Rs 510 crore to Rs 731.67 crore and it will be completed in two and a half years.
Construction work on the project is likely to start in the next couple of months. The mega road project will give relief for lakhs of road users of Himachal Pradesh as well as Haryana who are visiting the industrial township of Baddi regularly. Suresh Kumar Sharma, project director of the Shimla unit at NHAI informed that the tender process had been started by the main office of the NHAI in New Delhi and the project is proposed to be completed in 30 months.
Currently, the road is in a deteriorated condition and it takes hours for motorists to cross the 36-km stretch and has virtually become a death trap for motorists. The four-laning of the road from Pinjore to Swarghat in HP was approved by the Central Government and the road was to be widened up to 45 meters for which a total of 54.9 hectares of land was to be acquired by the government. Of this, 28 hectares of land to be provided by HP, and about 16 small and five large bridges have been proposed to be constructed on the 36-km stretch. There are about 2,500 companies in the Baddi and Nalagarh areas of HP and more than 35,000 vehicles, including staff buses of the companies, are regularly plying on this road stretch.

Leonardo DiCaprio blasted as ‘snob’ for ‘disrespecting’ Fijian welcome: ‘The fake old act…’
Leonardo DiCaprio was criticised for seemingly disregarding a traditional Fijian farewell serenade, with fans calling his actions disrespectful.
Leonardo DiCaprio is under fire after a video surfaced showing him seemingly ignoring a traditional Fijian welcome ceremony at a hotel. The Hollywood star was captured on camera, engrossed in a phone call, walking past the performers without acknowledging their efforts. Social media users have since accused him of being “disrespectful,” with some labeling the behaviour as “snobbish,” calling for the actor to show more appreciation for the cultural gesture.
Leonardo DiCaprio labeled ‘snob’ and ‘disrespectful’
In a now-viral TikTok video, the Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio was seen leaving a hotel in Nadi on November 20 as staff lined up to perform a traditional farewell serenade. Wearing a dark cap, tracksuit, and sunglasses, the actor seemed to overlook the cultural send-off as he entered the foyer. Without pausing for a moment DiCaprio just took out his phone and started a conversation. He then quickly lowered his head before rushing to a waiting car.
Fans were left questioning his behavior, with some expressing their disappointment. “He didn’t even recognise the welcome,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “At least a quick wave or thank you would have been nice.” Many felt his lack of acknowledgment was disrespectful to the Fijian tradition.

“Don’t waste your energy, my Fiji whānau, he’s so disrespectful omg,” an offended Fijian wrote on social media. Some even criticised him for using a “fake call” method to exit the venue. “Haha, the old ‘fake call’ act. Gets in the car, drops the phone,” one user remarked.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s 50th birthday bash
Leonardo’s recent appearance in Fiji comes just days after he hosted a lavish yet intimate birthday celebration at his Los Angeles residence on Saturday, Nov. 9. The 50th birthday bash featured a star-studded guest list, including Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Robin Thicke, April Love Geary, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyga, Teyana Taylor, Jamie Foxx, Bill Maher, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, Paris Hilton, and Cara Delevingne. The 50-year-old actor is also reportedly in a serious relationship with 26-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti.
However, the star-studded affair didn’t go down well with the neighbors. Many complained about the noise, traffic congestion, and overall disruption caused by the party. Videos obtained by Fox News Digital show irate residents expressing their frustration with the lack of consideration for their peace and quiet.
