Rescue workers entered rescue pipes to manually cut metal girders after machines hit metal girders in the debris

The operation to rescue the workers trapped in Uttarakhand's Silkyara tunnel has been going on for 17 days. The delay in bringing out the workers was partly due to the obstructions faced by the drilling machines while clearing the debris.&nbsp;
Auger and drilling machines kept hitting metal obstructions in the debris, stalling the rescue work.&nbsp;
This led to manual intervention with rescue workers entering the the narrow pipes pushed through the rescue holes to cut the metal structures using gas cutters.&nbsp;
According to the Indian Express, on the 12th day of the rescue operation, the teams faced a similar situation.&nbsp;
Praveen Yadav, an underground tunnelling expert for Trenchless Engineering, told Indian Express that several people tried to enter the narrow pipes but could not in the absence of a proper oxygen supply.&nbsp;
He volunteered to go in but his boss asked him to wait for the National Disaster Response Force personnel to try.&nbsp;
Yadav told the Indian Express that NDRF jawans were to big and the rescue pipes too small so he ultimately went in with two other people.&nbsp;
Yadav said he took a gas cutter, two bottles of water and crawled into the pipes on his knees and elbows.&nbsp;

He said that sometimes the work requires him to go inside those pipes two or three times a day.&nbsp;
Yadav and his aides found the metal girders and cut them using gas cutters. They then removed the cut pieces.&nbsp;
He said that the process generated a lot of heat and they faced the risk of sustaining burn injuries.&nbsp;

Kashmir leaders question bail to army officer convicted of killing 3 civilians in fake encounter

The three men hailing from Rajouri district of Jammu region were killed in a fake encounter in Shopian in 2020.&nbsp;

Former chief ministers Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah Tuesday questioned bail being granted to an army officer convicted of killing three civilians in a "staged" encounter in 2020, with the NC leader terming it a reminder from the government that the blood of people of Jammu and Kashmir is "cheap".
The armed forces tribunal in New Delhi has suspended the life sentence of Captain Bhoopendra Singh who was found guilty of killing three men in a "staged" encounter in south Kashmir's Amshipora village in July 2020.
The three men hailing from the Rajouri district of Jammu region -- Imtiyaz Ahmed, Abrar Ahmed and Mohammed Ibrar -- were killed in a remote hilly village in the Shopian district on July 18, 2020, and labelled as "terrorists".

The probe into the deepfake video of actor Rashmika Mandanna suffered a setback as US-based tech firms refused to share data, the Indian Express reported citing Delhi Police sources.

While the US indictment does not mention the target, reports say that it was Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of the Sikhs for Justice organisation.

What US indictment of Indian Nikhil Gupta says about Nijjar killing

While the US indictment does not mention the target, reports say that it was Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of the Sikhs for Justice organisation.

The United State has charged an Indian national named Nikhil Gupta for being involved in an alleged plot of assassinate a Sikh leader who is also an American citizen on American soil.&nbsp;
A press release on the indictment posted on the US Department of Justice's website also mentions the murder of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.&nbsp;
It says that on June 19, 2023 - a day after Nijjar's killing - Nikhil Gupta told the 'hitman' he had allegedly hired to kill the US Sikh leader that Nijjar was also one of the targets and that they have many targets. US has said that the 'hitman' was their undercover agent. The US statement also says that Gupta told the 'hitman' that there was no need to wait to kill the target in the light of Nijjar's murder.&nbsp;
The indictment has not named the US citizen but The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, last week reported that US authorities thwarted a plot to assassinate banned Sikhs for Justice&rsquo;s Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, and issued a warning to the Indian government over concerns it was involved in the plot.

Pannun 'assassination' plot: US sent 2 top officials to India to press for probe

An Indian man has been charged in the US over alleged plot to kill a Sikh leader

The US sent its two top intelligence officials to India to press for an investigation into an alleged plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader on American soil earlier.
The federal prosecutors have now filed a case against an Indian national, named Nikhil Gupta, in a New York court charging him with 'murder-for-hire'. The US document does not mention the target but acocrding to reports it is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a separatist Khalistani leader who is both a US and Canadian citizen.
This comes on a day when India said that it has constituted a high-level enquiry committee to probe allegations relating to a conspiracy to kill the Sikh extremist on American soil.
The indictment has not named the US citizen but The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, last week reported that US authorities thwarted a plot to assassinate banned Sikhs for Justice&rsquo;s Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, and issued a warning to the Indian government over concerns it was involved in the plot.

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

'No one can stop CAA': Amit Shah launches BJP's 2024 campaign for West Bengal

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Wednesday that the Central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and no one can stop it.
Addressing a big rally here to launch the BJP's Lok Sabha campaign, Shah launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issues of appeasement, infiltration, corruption and political violence, alleging she has "destroyed" the state.
Banerjee has been opposing the CAA due to her support to infiltration, he asserted, adding that a state with so much infiltration cannot develop.
He urged people to throw out her government by electing the BJP in the next assembly polls in 2026 and asked them to lay its foundation by supporting the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
He said, "Give so many seats to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls that Modi ji says I have become PM due to Bengal." The Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress won the last assembly polls by "rigging" but the BJP jumped to 77 seats from zero, he said, calling upon people to end the TMC's alleged misrule of corruption, infiltration, and political violence by electing a government conducive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda of development.
Lauding the turnout at the rally, he said this indicates the people's mood and claimed that the BJP will come to power with two-third majority in the state in 2026.
The BJP's performance in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will create the foundation of its win in the assembly polls, he said.
Turning to the contentious CAA issue, he said Banerjee has been opposing it but it is a law of the country and no one can stop its implementation, which has been in a limbo as the central government is yet to frame its rules amid the opposition's strong stand against the law.
Parliament had passed the law in 2019 They, Shah said in a reference to the intended beneficiaries of the law, have as much a right to citizenship as anyone else. Banerjee has once stalled Parliament over the issue of infiltration but she is now keeping mum, he said, claiming that no one can infiltrate into Assam after the BJP was voted to power in the state.
"Assam has done a commendable job in stopping infiltration. But in West Bengal, infiltration persists due to the TMC government's vote-bank politics. Mamata Banerjee is opposing CAA, but let me say it clearly that CAA will be implemented in the country. No one can stop the implementation of CAA," Shah declared.
Hitting out at Banerjee over the suspension of the Leader of Opposition in Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari, he said she may try to silence him but cannot silence people of the state.
Her time as the state's chief minister is over, he said, often referring to her as 'didi'.
Shah dared Banerjee to suspend from her party some of its leaders arrested in corruption cases and said she cannot do it as she apprehended that they may implicate her nephew, a reference to MP Abhishek Banerjee.
"The people of Bengal are fed up with the cut money and syndicates of TMC," he said.
The home minister said as many as 212 BJP workers have been killed in West Bengal in political violence and added that people will avenge these murders with their votes in the 2026 assembly polls.
Banerjee has destroyed West Bengal, Shah alleged, citing political violence, corruption, appeasement in state. The state's development is Modi's top priority but it can only happen when there is a government conducive to the prime minister's agenda, he said.
He urged people to ensure a big win for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
"We must ensure that the BJP forms the next government in West Bengal. To achieve this, we must win the maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from the state in the next Parliamentary elections," Shah emphasised, echoing sentiments expressed during an April rally when he set a target of winning over 35 seats in the state.
The union minister was addressing the rally at the historic Esplanade, with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in the state. The party had won 18, its highest ever, of the state's 42 seats in 2019.
At the rally Shah was joined by the state party leadership and Union ministers from the state.&nbsp;
