Bihar set to get its 4th expressway, will connect Gorakhpur to Siliguri

Bihar is ready to open a second highway-this highway will run from Gorakhpur in the east of Uttar Pradesh to Siliguri in West Bengal. According to Livehindustan, a sister publication of the Hindustan Times, most of the proposed highway will pass through northern Bihar.

The report further stated that this new road will become a lifeline for people living in northern Bihar. According to Livehindustan, this will not only make commuting between Bihar and Bangladesh easier, but will also open up new trade routes.

According to Livehindustan, the central government approved the highway in principle, and the Bihar State Highway Construction Department will start construction soon.

Currently, there is no road connection between Gorakhpur and Siliguri, which is why it takes nearly a day to cover the distance between these two cities. The proposed highway will reduce the distance between Gorapkhpur and Siliguri to within 600 kilometers. According to Livehindustan, most of it (about 416 kilometers) will pass through northern Bihar. It will enter Bihar via Gopalganj, then pass through Siwan, Chhapra, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Saharsa, Purnia, Kishanganj, and then reach Siliguri. According to Livehindustan, this will be a newly built highway and will not include any existing roads.

Since the speed of the vehicles on the highway is very fast, the route will be maintained to keep the road straight.

This will be the fourth highway in Bihar. One such road is being built between Aurangabad and Jaynagar (located in the Madhubani district). The second one is being built between Laxor and Patna, and it will go to Kolkata. The other was proposed between Buxar and Bhagalpur.

According to Livehindustan, the Gorakhpur-Siliguri highway will be connected to Azamgarh and other cities in Uttar Pradesh by connecting roads, which will eventually make the connection with Delhi easier.

Startups that use excerpts from their own pitch are sent legal notifications by Shark Tank India; the creator responds, “Kaise banega naya India?”

After getting a legal letter from Sony Pictures for copyright infringement, the subscription-based tea business Dorje Teas found itself in deep water for utilising footage from their own pitch on YouTube and Meta advertisements.

While many entrepreneurs, especially those with startups, have found transformation through the business reality TV series Shark Tank India, the narrative is slightly different for Dorje Teas, a subscription-based tea firm that ships organic and fresh-from-the-farm Darjeeling Tea to consumers throughout India. Sony Pictures Networks India slapped the firm with a legal notice, which has placed it in hot water.

Co-founder Sparsh Agarwal of the company, who brought Dorje Teas to Shark Tank India last year and raised funds of Rs 30 lakh for 15% equity from Anupam Mittal, Peyush Bansal, and Vineeta Singh, valued the business at Rs 2 crore, recently revealed on LinkedIn that they received a legal notice from Shark Tank India for utilising snippets of their own pitch.

Agarwal claims that they received a notification about copyright infringement for utilising these clips in YouTube and Meta advertisements. It appears that Sony Pictures has sent notice to other companies besides Dorje Teas. He said, “They’ve clamped down on every single startup that showed up on Shark Tank, so we’re not the only ones.”

“I don’t understand why they would do this, even though I am aware of the copyright rules that justify it. After all, Dorje Teas and several other businesses, like Skippi, Assembly, Perfora, Hoovu Fresh, Beyond Snack, Wakao Foods, Nasher Miles, and many more, invest thousands of dollars each month to enhance Shark Tank content, which helps the Shark Tank India brand get free exposure and increase brand memory,” he continued.

Agarwal went on to call it a poor business choice that some executive or lawyer at Sony had made, adding that it “goes against the entire ethos of promoting small startups.”

Additionally, the focus of Shark Tank Season 3 has been on creating a new India and assisting the startup environment in India. “How will we construct a ‘new India’ in this manner?’” he questioned in a self-recorded video.

On social media, Agarwal was met with praise, while some contended that Sony’s actions were legitimate in theory. “Dear Sparsh, you must realise that ‘You are the content’ in this situation. You play a big part in content production. You posted the material that features you on your social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and so on), but not on Sony’s. You might say that the traffic they were supposed to get was somehow redirected to them. A content strategist made the observation, “You are monetizing your social channels with the content they produce.”

“The first person to provide a sneak peek in the content industry attracts greater attention. Furthermore, it’s possible that you agreed to sign a waiver giving them perpetual rights to the footage they shot. They said, “Verify your contract or try to recall signing any electronic documents on the filming locations that make this clear.

“You are investing lakhs of dollars to promote Shark Tank, while Shark Tank is investing billions of dollars to plan and publicise the programme that features your brand.” Simply alter your viewpoint, as another poster pointed out.
