<p>It has been more than a year since PM Modi inaugurated Jalandhar's <a title="Adampur Airport" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/direct-flight-delhi-cards-adampur-says-jalandhar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adampur Airport</a> virtually after its renovation. Slowly and steadily, the number of flight operations from Adampur Airport is increasing. Following its inauguration, a private airline company, Star Air, started flights from Adampur to Hindon airport in Ghaziabad. On July 2, 2025, the first IndiGo flight from Mumbai&rsquo;s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport reached Adampur at 3.15 pm.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Deputy Commissioner <a title="Himanshu Aggarwal" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/direct-flight-delhi-cards-adampur-says-jalandhar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Himanshu Aggarwal</a> said the service would prove to be a game-changer for the NRIs and the industrial hub of Punjab. He highlighted that passengers can now conveniently access domestic and international destinations through connecting flights such as Amsterdam, Goa, and Chennai via Mumbai, ensuring better connectivity for travellers. Now the question arises, how many direct flights are operating from Adampur Airport? Below is a detailed list-&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Adampur to Hindon (Ghaziabad)</h2>
<p>Star Air operates Adampur to Hindon Airport i.e. Ghaziabad. It is a 1-hour flight, and the ticket price starts at Rs&nbsp; 3048. The flight tickets from Adampur to Hindon may vary based on factors such as when you book, whether you choose economy or business class, and the availability of seats. To secure the best rates, it's advisable to book your Adampur to Hindon air tickets early. Tickets can be booked from the Star Air official website.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Adampur to Nanded flights</h2>
<p>The second flight from Adampur Airport is to Nanded. Star Air operates Adampur to Nanded flights from 'Jalandhar Airport'. The flight duration will be approximately 3 hours and 25 minutes. It is a transit flight that stops at Hindon Airport first, as per the Star Air official website. The flying distance between Adampur and Nanded is 1366 km. Tickets can be booked on Star Air's official website.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Adampur to Mumbai direct flight</h2>
<p>As mentioned above, Adampur to Mumbai direct flights resumed on July 2. Airline company IndiGo operates Adampur to Mumbai flights. As per IndiGo's official release, the flight will take off from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at 12:55 pm and reach Adampur at 3:15 pm. After a 35-minute halt at Adampur, it will take off from here at 3:50 pm and reach Mumbai at 6:30 pm. The flight duration will be 2:20 hours for the Mumbai-Adampur sector and 2:40 hours for the Adampur-Mumbai sector.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The journey will be approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. Talking about ticket price, MakeMyTrip suggests that the average price of a flight will be Rs 5199. However, on July 2, the price of the ticket is Rs 5660.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Adampur is IndiGo's 92nd domestic and 133rd overall destination. IndiGo has appointed staff for ground handling and administrative purposes. Star Air has already been running flights on the Adampur-Hindon-Nanded-Bengaluru sector from Adampur for a year.</p>
<h2>Upcoming direct flights from Adampur</h2>
<p>Following the introduction of domestic air services from Adampur Civil Airport to Mumbai, the government, along with the administration, is now accelerating efforts to obtain direct flights to New Delhi in order to further improve air connectivity for the area.</p>
<p>Dr. Aggarwal informed us that talks with airline operators have started for commencing flights from Adampur to New Delhi, which would further facilitate the traveling needs of the whole Doaba region, anticipating positive results in the upcoming days.</p>
<p>He appealed to NRIs and the business community to take maximum benefit of the Mumbai flight for their traveling needs. He further added that different measures will be taken to make travel by road to the Adampur Airport convenient with the support of the Government of Punjab.</p>

Following its inauguration last year in March, a private airline company, Star Air, started flights from Adampur to Hindon airport in Ghaziabad.

<p>Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia has grabbed headlines again, but all for the wrong reasons. Punjab Vigilance Bureau on June 25 raided <a title="Bikram Singh Majithia" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/bikram-majithia-booked-new-case-vigilance-alleges-sad-leader-tried-destroy-evidence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bikram Singh Majithia</a>'s house in Amritsar. However, a high-voltage drama erupted after that. Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) supporters gathered outside Majithia's house and started sloganeering. Seeing this, additional security forces were sent, and the area was cordoned off. In fact, Majithia's wife confronted the Vigilance Bureau's official and even took media personnel and supporters inside the house in the middle of the raid.&nbsp; Majithia was then arrested by the Vigilance and was taken to Mohali. Thereafter, a Mohali Court sent him to 7 days of Police remand for allegedly laundering more than Rs 540 crore of "drug money".</p>
<p>Notably, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann called Bikram Majithia's arrest- the arrest of a 'big fish' under Yudh Nashian Virudh and emphasized that the people of Punjab are no longer silent; they are grieving, angry, and demanding justice. However, Majithia is not new to such serious allegations and drug charges. Below is a timeline and list of allegations that Bikram Singh Majithia has faced over the years-&nbsp;</p>
<h2>List of Cases Bikram Singh Majithia has faced over the years</h2>
<p>2012 &ndash; Punjab witnessed one of its biggest drug busts in Fatehgarh Sahib, where synthetic drugs worth Rs 6,000 crore were recovered. This case exposed a vast international drug trafficking network and set the stage for deeper investigations into political links.</p>
<p>2013 &ndash; Former DSP and Arjuna Awardee Jagdish Bhola, a key accused in the case, was arrested. His involvement shocked many, as he was a decorated police officer turned drug trafficker.</p>
<p>2014 &ndash; During a court appearance, Jagdish Bhola publicly named Bikram Majithia, then Revenue Minister, alleging that he had deep ties with drug lords and provided them political protection. Bhola also accused Majithia of facilitating hawala transactions through foreign networks. Following these allegations, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned Majithia, but no formal charges were filed at the time.</p>
<p>2016 &ndash; A letter written by Akali leader and Majithia aide Boney Ajnala to then-Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal alleged that drug-related arrests were made under pressure from Majithia and Sukhbir Badal. The letter sparked controversy within the Akali Dal.</p>
<p>2017 &ndash; In the Punjab Assembly elections, the drug menace became a central campaign issue. Congress leader Captain Amarinder Singh vowed to eradicate drugs, while the Aam Aadmi Party labeled Majithia as the "political face of the drug mafia." In response, Majithia filed defamation cases against AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh, and Ashish Khetan.</p>
<p>December 2021 &ndash; Under the Congress government led by Charanjit Channi, an FIR was registered against Majithia under the NDPS Act. The FIR accused him of protecting international drug traffickers between 2004 and 2015 and maintaining financial links with Canada-based smugglers.</p>
<p>February 2022 &ndash; After receiving interim bail from the Supreme Court to contest the Punjab elections, Majithia surrendered before a Mohali court and was subsequently arrested. He was lodged in Patiala jail and remained in judicial custody for nearly five months.</p>
<p>August 2022 &ndash; The Punjab and Haryana High Court granted bail to Majithia, stating that the police had been given enough time to investigate. The court directed him to cooperate during trial proceedings.</p>
<p>2023&ndash;2025 &ndash; Following his release, Majithia launched consistent attacks on the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government, accusing it of failing to curb the drug menace in Punjab. He used social media platforms to claim that the real drug network remained untouched under political protection.</p>
<p>June 25, 2025 &ndash; The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Bikram Majithia in a fresh case related to disproportionate assets. He was accused of amassing over Rs 540 crore in illegal wealth, allegedly linked to drug money. The charges include Rs 161 crore in unaccounted cash deposits, Rs 141 crore routed through foreign entities, and Rs 236 crore in unexplained financial disclosures.&nbsp;</p>

Bikram Majithia: From drug trafficking allegations to disproportionate assets, a timeline of legal troubles surrounding SAD leader

<p>While Sardaar Ji 3 has already been running successfully in theaters abroad, the controversy in India does not seem to settle. Punjabi singer and actor <a title="Diljit Dosanjh" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/diljit-dosanjh-gets-university-courses-isn-alone-indian-celebs-taught-books" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diljit Dosanjh</a> has not been coming to the front to address the ongoing demand to ban him from future Bollywood projects; however, he has at times shared some reels in his story, questioning the hypocrisy revolving around the India vs Pakistan debate. In the meantime, a report went viral a few days back in which it was claimed that production company TSeries has decided to break its ties with <a title="Diljit Dosanjh" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/amid-sardaar-row-diljit-shares-youtubers-video-asking-ind-pak-cricket-matches-stop-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diljit Dosanjh</a> after the release of Border 2.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It was reported that the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had lifted its ban following a request by producer Bhushan Kumar. Although FWICE permitted the production of Border 2 to move forward, it stressed that its non-cooperation stance with Diljit would persist for upcoming projects. Reports also claimed that Bhushan Kumar had assured FWICE that T-Series would part ways with Diljit after Border 2.</p>
<h2>Did TSeries part ways with Diljit?</h2>
<p>The answer is no. According to Mumbai Mirror, a source close to T-Series has denied parting ways with Diljit or banning him from future Bollywood projects.&nbsp;&ldquo;These reports are completely baseless..T-Series has always shared a strong and respectful working relationship with Diljit and looks forward to collaborating with him on future projects."</p>
<p>Hence, reports saying that T-Series has banned&nbsp; Diljit from its future projects are false.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Talking about Sardaar Ji 3 box office collection, reports suggest that in 1 week after its release, the Punjabi movie did a business of Rs 33.6 crore gross at the overseas box office. As per reports, the budget for the film was Rs 35 crore, and it is all set to break it as well. Directed by Amar Hundal, Sardaarji 3 was released internationally on June 27. It stars Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa, Jasmin Bajwa, and Hania Aamir in key roles in the horror-comedy Punjabi film. The writers of the film are Rakesh Dhawan, Dheeraj Rattan, and Manila Rattan.</p>

A report went viral a few days back in which it was claimed that production company TSeries has decided to break its ties with Diljit Dosanjh after the release of Border 2.

<p>It seems like the United States and the world are all set to witness one of the biggest tech wars of all time. As per reports, <a title="OpenAI" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/global-outage-hits-chatgpt-thousands-report-tool-down-openai-investigates-server-issues" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenAI</a> is shutting down its operations for a week to give its employees a break amid growing pressure from rival Meta. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is accused of trying to recruit the AI company&rsquo;s top researchers. The move comes after Meta recently managed to lure away four senior researchers from OpenAI to join its superintelligence lab. In the meantime, reports are going viral that ChatGPT will be shut down for a week.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>ChatGPT to be shut down for a week?</h2>
<p>As per Economic Times,&nbsp;an internal memo to employees, OpenAI&rsquo;s chief research officer, Mark Chen, compared the situation to a break-in. &ldquo;I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something,&rdquo; Chen wrote, according to Wired. He assured staff that he, CEO Sam Altman, and other leaders are working &ldquo;around the clock&rdquo; to respond to Meta&rsquo;s offers and retain key talent.</p>
<h2>ChatGPT Employee Poaching by META</h2>
<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been offering massive compensation packages, including up to $100 million in signing bonuses, to lure OpenAI staff. Chen&rsquo;s message made it clear that while OpenAI is actively working to retain staff by reviewing compensation and rewards, the company also wants to remain fair. &ldquo;While I&rsquo;ll fight to keep every one of you, I won&rsquo;t do so at the price of fairness to others,&rdquo; he wrote.</p>
<p>Several other OpenAI leaders also encouraged employees not to give in to pressure from Meta. One leader stated, &ldquo;If they pressure you, or make ridiculous exploding offers, just tell them to back off, it&rsquo;s not nice to pressure people in potentially the most important decision."</p>
<p>As OpenAI staff deal with heavy workloads, often stretching to 80 hours a week, the upcoming break is seen as a way to help employees recharge. However, executives will continue working through the shutdown, and they worry Meta might use the pause to boost its recruitment efforts.</p>
<h2>Will ChatGPT remain closed for 7 days?</h2>
<p>The answer is no. ChatGPT is not being shut down due to Meta. What&rsquo;s happening is that OpenAI is taking a rare, internal one-week break for its employees, not shutting down the service for users.</p>

<p>Business and employment-related social media, Indeed, has recently published its survey titled 'Indeed PayMap Survey 2025'. Indeed PayMap Survey 2025&nbsp;analyzed data from 1,311 employers and 2,531 employees across 14 industries and 16 job roles in India. Based on the result, the survey found that <a title="Chandigarh" href="https://www.truescoopnews.com/newsdetail/how-many-years-savings-required-buy-house-ludhiana-chandigarh-check-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chandigarh</a> professionals with 5&ndash;8 years of experience now earn an average of Rs 68,400 per month. This puts the city ahead of Delhi and even close to Hyderabad, the current leader for mid-career salaries.</p>
<p>However, the low cost of living in Chandigarh has put the union territory among one of the most desired destinations for working professionals. Once overshadowed by traditional metros like Delhi and Mumbai, Chandigarh is now offering competitive salaries across experience levels, especially in the mid-senior bracket.</p>
<p>Notably, Chandigarh is also not far behind in terms of average salary for freshers. Indeed Survey points out that&nbsp;for entry-level roles, Chandigarh offers an average monthly salary of Rs 26,300, which is at par with Delhi. Working professionals of Chandigarh enjoy an added advantage of a lower cost of living and better work-life balance, according to employee sentiment gathered in the report.</p>
<p>Indian cities that are paying more to experienced employees than Chandigarh are- Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The survey also found that 69% of Indian employees feel their salaries aren&rsquo;t keeping pace with rising living costs, especially in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. In contrast, cities like Chandigarh are gaining favor not only for offering better compensation-to-expense ratios but also due to a growing reluctance among workers to relocate for work.</p>
<p>"Chandigarh is fast becoming a sweet spot for professionals seeking career growth without the financial and emotional burden of metro living," said an Indeed India analyst.</p>
