'Nanhe Jaisalmer' - Tax Free
Friday, September 14, 2007
Bobby Deol starrier 'Nanhe Jaisalmer' has been declared tax-free in Rajasthan, even before the release. It's a story of a child, who is a fan of Bobby - a film star. His dreams of meeting him fulfilled one day. "Yes, I got to know about it just a couple of days ago. I don't know how it will help the film... It is an inspirational film and I am sure with the tax-free tag, more people will watch the film along with their kids.
The film has a sweet message and I guess that will work in favor of the film. This is also the first time I am playing myself in the film. I am eagerly waiting to see how the film fares at the box-office," says Bobby. The film will be release on September 15.

New Transport Policy
Thursday, September 13, 2007
The Rajasthan Government will shortly announce a new transport policy to deal with the growing pressure of vehicular traffic in the cities and bring uniformity to the action plans for making public transport arrangements and creating parking facilities in the urban areas.
Based on existing resources
State Transport Minister Mohammed Yunus Khan, addressing the first meeting of the newly appointed Integrated Metropolitan Authority and Executive Council here on Tuesday, said the policy would take care of the resources and plans during the next 20 years. The new policy will take into account the growth of population, number of tourists visiting the cities, number of vehicles plying on roads and the rising pollution level while recommending measures for a smooth traffic flow and safe journey for city dwellers.
Special provisions
Special provisions for flyovers and elevated roads will be made for the areas with high traffic density. Mr. Yunus Khan said the State Government had established city level transport companies in Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur and Jodhpur for operating the Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS). A 42-km-long BRTS corridor, divided into three packages, is proposed to be constructed in Jaipur, with the buses set to hit the roads by July next year.
Introducing new buses
The Minister pointed out that six routes had been identified for BRTS in Jodhpur and 12 buses had started plying on three of them, while 12 buses had been introduced on six routes in Kota and 18 buses in Udaipur.
