The new Cab Fare Surge rules under the 2025 Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines allow cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, and Rapido to charge up to 2X the base fare during peak hours — a sharp increase from the previous 1.5X limit. This Cab Fare Surge policy aims to balance demand and supply, but has sparked debates among daily commuters and drivers alike. While aggregators argue that the revised Cab Fare Surge system accounts for dead mileage and peak-time strain, many passengers feel the burden of increased fares during rush hours. The Cab Fare Surge rule also includes penalties for unjustified cancellations by drivers or passengers, capping at ₹100.

Dutch environment enthusiast Ellis Spaanderman, 69, has taken it upon herself to clean Srinagar’s iconic Dal Lake—by hand. Her quiet, solo mission has gone viral, inspiring locals to join her fight against plastic pollution. Known fondly as the “Mother of Dal,” Ellis rejects praise, saying she’s simply cleaning what she loves. A cyclist and long-time Kashmir resident, Ellis now hopes to raise awareness, encouraging collective responsibility to protect Kashmir’s natural beauty—one plastic bottle at a time.
