Fatal Ranchi Road Crash: Four Dead, One Injured

A deadly collision on Ranchi&ndash;Purulia Road led to the tragic deaths of four family members. A woman is critically injured, hospitalized in Ranchi.

&nbsp;
Ranchi, Aug 14: In a tragic incident, four family members lost their lives while another woman sustained serious injuries following a head-on collision between an autorickshaw and a truck in Ranchi. The police confirmed the incident on Thursday.
The accident took place at Chamghati on the Ranchi&ndash;Purulia Road within the Angara police station's jurisdiction on Wednesday night. Angara police station in-charge, Hiralal Sah, revealed the details to PTI.
"Four family members, including two women, tragically died in the crash. Another woman is gravely injured and is receiving treatment at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi," reported Sah.
Investigations indicate the autorickshaw was bound for Ranchi, while the truck was headed towards Muri. The collision occurred when the truck driver lost control, causing a fatal crash and leading the truck to overturn. The driver fled the scene following the accident, the police noted.
The victims have been identified as Seikh Gayasuddin, who was driving the autorickshaw, his mother Ayesha Khatun, his wife Joraddin, and his son Seikh Aman. The family hailed from the Kantatoli area of Ranchi.

The flood in Hunt, Texas claimed over 100 lives, with 160 still missing. Search efforts continue amid scrutiny over missing warning systems. Camp Mystic, a central figure in the tragedy, highlights the community's pressing need for better disaster preparedness.

Texas Flooding Claims Over 100 Lives, 160 Still Missing

Hunt, Texas, witnessed a catastrophic flood, claiming over 100 lives with 160 missing. The extensive search efforts face scrutiny over missing warning systems.

Devastating Texas Flood Leaves Over 100 Dead and 160 Missing

A devastating flood in Texas resulted in over 100 deaths and left 160 missing. Extensive search efforts are underway. The lack of a warning system has triggered scrutiny.

As the intensive search operation continued in Texas on Wednesday, officials were still striving to account for over 160 individuals reportedly missing following a catastrophic wall of water that claimed more than 100 lives. With the full scope of the disaster yet to be fully unveiled, authorities cautioned that additional victims might emerge from the extensive heaps of debris covering miles.
"Know this: We will not stop until every missing person is accounted for. Know this also: There very likely could be more added to that list," declared Gov. Greg Abbott during a Tuesday news conference. Abbott mentioned efforts to gather information regarding those who were in the state's Hill Country over the Fourth of July holiday but didn't register at camps or hotels and might have been in the area without many being aware of their presence.
The lowlands of Kerr County, along the Guadalupe River and the primary recovery site, are teeming with youth camps, including the historic Camp Mystic, a century-old all-girls Christian summer camp where at least 27 campers and counselors lost their lives.
Authorities reported on Tuesday that five campers and a counselor remain unaccounted for. The extensive search operation, one of the largest in Texas history, includes crews in helicopters, airboats, and horseback, joined by hundreds of volunteers.
The flash flood represents the deadliest inland flooding in the US since Colorado's Big Thompson Canyon flood on July 31, 1976, which resulted in 144 fatalities, according to Bob Henson, a meteorologist with Yale Climate Connections. That perilous event occurred during a holiday weekend in a canyon filled with people celebrating Colorado's centennial.
Public officials responsible for locating victims are confronting escalating questions regarding their responsibility for monitoring weather conditions and issuing warnings as floodwaters rapidly approached camps and homes.
Governor Abbott reiterated a commitment to exhaustive search efforts, vowing not to relent until all victims are found and noting President Trump&rsquo;s pledge to supply any necessary relief for Texas&rsquo; recovery efforts. President Trump is scheduled to visit the state on Friday.
Scenes of Devastation at Camp Mystic - Outside the cabins at Camp Mystic, once bustling with youthful laughter, now lay mud-streaked blankets and pillows on a grassy slope leading to the river. In the debris littering the site are pink, purple, and blue luggage adorned with stickers.
Among the tragic casualties were a second grader fond of pink sparkles and bows, a 19-year-old counselor passionate about guiding young girls, and the camp's 75-year-old director.
The floods erupted before daybreak last Friday, as torrential rains surged water into the Guadalupe River, causing it to rise 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour. Campers escaped through cabin windows or clung to ropes to reach higher ground.
Just 48 hours before the deluge, Texas inspectors had approved the camp&rsquo;s emergency preparedness. Yet, inspection reports over the past five years accessed by The Associated Press yielded scant details on evacuation instructions or the specific responsibilities of each staff member and counselor.
While attributing a singular weather event directly to climate change is complex, experts highlight that rising atmospheric and oceanic temperatures increase the likelihood of severe storms.
Where Were the Warnings? - Inquiry into local officials' actions&mdash;or lack thereof&mdash;during the flood gained momentum, particularly their failure to alert campers and residents in the scenic locale ominously dubbed &ldquo;flash flood alley.&rdquo;
Kerr County&rsquo;s leaders, where 90 bodies have been discovered, asserted that recovering victims remains the foremost priority over scrutinizing pre-flood actions.
Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, the chief elected official, acknowledged the absence of a warning system, despite historical flood tragedies in the area. A 1987 flood had necessitated the evacuation of a youth camp in Comfort, where ten teenagers perished.
Discussions about a warning system have persisted for years, and Kerr County's request for a nearly USD 1 million grant for one was denied by FEMA, compounded by local reluctance to self-fund its establishment, Kelly said.
Recovery and Cleanup Continues - Of the bodies recovered, 30 were children from Camp Mystic and nearby camps, the sheriff revealed. The flood's impact stretched over hundreds of miles in central Texas, reaching near Austin.
Aidan Duncan narrowly escaped after hearing evacuations alerted by a megaphone at Ingram&rsquo;s Riverside RV Park. His belongings&mdash;including a mattress, sports cards, and his pet parakeet&rsquo;s birdcage&mdash;now sit coated in mud outside his home.
"What's going on right now, it hurts," said the 17-year-old, visibly emotional. "I literally cried so hard." (AP)

Trailblazing Czech climber, Klara Kolouchova, tragically lost her life on Pakistan's Nanga Parbat. A notable figure in mountaineering for her achievements, her fall remains shrouded in mystery amidst speculation of a possible accident.

Czech Climber Dies Tragically on Nanga Parbat

Klara Kolouchova, a pioneering Czech climber known for summiting Everest and K2, tragically died on Nanga Parbat. Dubbed the 'Killer Mountain', it claims another life. The cause remains uncertain, with speculations about an accident. A profound loss for adventurers worldwide.

Czech Climber Klara Kolouchova Dies on Nanga Parbat

Renowned Czech climber Klara Kolouchova, 46, perished on Nanga Parbat, Pakistan. First Czech woman to ascend Everest and K2, her death remains unexplained.

A renowned Czech mountaineer has died while climbing Nanga Parbat, amongst the 14 peaks that are over 8,000 metres in altitude, an official of the Alpine Club of Pakistan said here on Friday.
Klara Kolouchova, 46, fell from a height between Camp I and Camp II in the early hours of Thursday, around 4:00 am, near Bunar Base Camp of the 8,125 metres peak in Diamer area of Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Nanga Parbat has earned the moniker of a 'Killer Mountain' in the mountaineering community due to its reputation of regularly exacting high numbers of human fatalities.
Karrar Haidri, vice president, Alpine Club of Pakistan, said Klara, an accomplished mountaineer, globally recognised as the first Czech woman to summit both Mt Everest and K2, had arrived in Pakistan on June 15 and was accompanied by her husband and five team members.
After she fell from a height between Camp I and Camp II, &ldquo;authorities and rescue teams were immediately alerted and dispatched. Recovery efforts are currently underway to locate and retrieve her body from the fall site,&rdquo; Haidri said in a message on WhatsApp.
He didn&rsquo;t give any reason for the fall but some local media reports said possibly her gas-cylinder exploded causing the mishap.
Nanga Parbat, which derives its name from the Sanskrit words &lsquo;nagna&rsquo; and &lsquo;parvata,&rsquo; meaning &ldquo;naked mountain&rdquo; is the ninth-highest mountain in the world, and earned the grim moniker due to the high number of fatalities.
More than 95 climbers have died so far while trying to scale the peak, including 31 who died before it was first scaled in 1953. It also suffered a terrorist attack when Taliban militants stormed and killed 10 foreign climbers on June 23, 2013.

Nila Patel, 56, dies in a Leicester assault. Suspect Michael Chuwuemeka charged with her murder. Children honor their mother’s life.

Nila Patel Dies After Leicester Assault

56-year-old Nila Patel tragically died after being assaulted in Leicester. The suspect, Michael Chuwuemeka, faces murder charges. Patel’s children fondly remember her vibrant and generous spirit.

Nila Patel, 56, died from a head injury after an assault in Leicester. Suspect Michael Chuwuemeka faces multiple charges.

A 56-year-old Indian-origin woman succumbed to a head injury suffered during an assault while out on a street in the eastern England city of Leicester and a 23-year-old male suspect charged with her murder has been remanded in custody.
Nila Patel died in hospital from her injuries last week after being attacked as a pedestrian and Leicestershire Police has said a post-mortem examination gave the "provisional cause" of her death as a head injury.
Michael Chuwuemeka appeared before Leicester Crown Court sitting at Loughborough on Tuesday charged with her murder and also faces additional charges of dangerous driving, possession with intent to supply Class B or banned drugs, attempted grievous bodily harm relating to a prior incident and assault of an emergency worker following an alleged assault on a police officer after his arrest on June 24.
He has been additionally charged with causing actual bodily harm in connection with a separate victim in London earlier.
&ldquo;A post-mortem examination has been conducted and a provisional cause of Nila's death has been given as a head injury,&rdquo; Leicestershire Police said.
The force also shared a statement on Tuesday issued by Patel&rsquo;s son Jaidan and daughter Danika in tribute to their &ldquo;kind-hearted and devoted&rdquo; mother, who was a &ldquo;loyal friend, and an incredibly hard worker&rdquo;.
&ldquo;We are heartbroken, but we want the world to know who our mum truly was &ndash; a beautiful, vibrant soul who deserved so much more,&rdquo; reads the statement.
&ldquo;Her love was quiet but powerful &ndash; shown through warm meals, thoughtful words, and a smile that could light up any room. She always put others before herself, offering comfort without ever asking for anything in return. Even when life was hard, she carried on with strength, dignity and a smile on her face,&rdquo; they said.
Jaiden and Danika said she raised them with patience, love, and unwavering support, and that their greatest wish was always to make her proud.
Their statement adds: &ldquo;Mum&rsquo;s life was full of love, and the stories we&rsquo;ve heard from those who knew her have reminded us of just how deeply she touched the lives around her. She was truly rich in love and generosity.
&ldquo;We will miss her more than words can ever express. We didn&rsquo;t get the chance to say goodbye, and that pain is something we carry every day. But we will continue to speak her name with pride, honour her memory, and live by the values she taught us. Mum&rsquo;s story matters. Her life mattered. We ask that anyone who hears her story helps us keep her name and memory alive.&rdquo; Leicestershire Police has set up an online portal to encourage people with more information into the attack on Aylestone Road in Leicester on June 24.

Cricket fraternity mourns Dilip Doshi, a respected former left-arm spinner who passed away at 77. Legends like Tendulkar and Shastri honor his legacy.

Cricket Community Remembers Dilip Doshi

Dilip Doshi, celebrated Indian cricket spinner, dies at 77. Tributes from cricket legends highlight his skill and gentlemanly character.

Dilip Doshi, former left-arm spinner, dies at 77. Tributes from Tendulkar, Shastri celebrate his cricket contributions and warm nature.

A "heartbroken" Indian cricket fraternity came together in grief and reverence to pay tribute to former left-arm spinner Dilip Doshi, who died following a cardiac arrest in London.
Despite spending much of his early career in the shadow of the great Bishan Singh Bedi, Doshi carved a niche for himself with his unwavering resolve. He died at the age of 77 on Monday.
Leading the tributes for him was the great Sachin Tendulkar, who recalled his first meeting with the "warm-hearted" Doshi during a tour of the UK in 1990.
"I met Dilip bhai for the first time in the UK in 1990, and he bowled to me in the nets on that tour. He was really fond of me, and I reciprocated his feelings.
"A warm-hearted soul like Dilip bhai will be deeply missed. I will miss those cricketing conversations which we invariably had. May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanti," Tendulkar posted on X.
Former India all-rounder and head coach Ravi Shastri, who shared the field with Doshi, remembered him as "always immaculate, a gentleman to the core and a fine, fine bowler".
"Heartfelt condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace. Really sad to hear about the passing of Dilip Doshi." Doshi made his Test debut in 1979 after Bedi's retirement and played the last of his 33 games in 1983. In those matches, he took 114 wickets with six five-wicket hauls and was exceptional at home during the first three seasons, completing 100 scalps in just 28 Tests.
Former India cricketer and selector Sunil Joshi also a left-arm spinner like Doshi shared a poignant memory.
"Still can't believe it, we spoke just last Wednesday, and he sounded well. Heartbroken by the passing of Dilip Doshi Sir a legend on the field,a true gentleman off it, he meant a lot to me, and this loss is deeply personal. My heartfelt condolences to Nayan &amp; the Doshi family," Joshi tweeted.
Former India captain Anil Kumble, who was among the first to pay his tribute to the late cricketer, too, expressed his sorrow: "Heartbreaking to hear about Dilip bhai's passing. May God give strength to his family and friends to bear this loss. Nayan, thinking of you buddy." Former Indian keeper-batter Parthiv Patel wrote, "I'm heartbroken and still in shock about Dilip uncle...he was truly special. Nayan (Doshi's son), thinking of you all with love and strength." Manoj Tiwary echoed the collective sense of loss.
"It's a shock! India's legendary cricketer Dilip Doshi passed away at the age of 77 due to a cardiac arrest in London. May God give his family and close ones the strength to deal with this. May his soul rest in peace." Former cricketers Pragyan Ojha and Harbhajan Singh also paid their respects.
"Saddened to hear about the passing of Dilip Doshi sir, a distinguished left-arm spinner who served Indian cricket with grace and grit. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in peace," said Ojha.
"RIP Dilip Doshi sir Condolences to family," Harbhajan wrote.

Veteran Indian spinner Dilip Doshi passes away at 77. Remembered for his left-arm spin prowess, he claimed 114 Test wickets and showcased exceptional skill on the English county circuit.

 Indian Spin Legend Dilip Doshi Dies at 77

Veteran cricketer Dilip Doshi dies at 77. Renowned for exceptional accuracy in spin, he took 114 Test wickets. Post-retirement, he succeeded in business, living between London, Mumbai, and Rajkot.

Veteran spinner Dilip Doshi passes at 77, amassing 114 Test wickets. Renowned for accuracy, he had notable county cricket successes. Post-retirement, he thrived in business in London.

Former India left-arm spinner Dilip Doshi, who carved out a niche for himself despite being in the shadows of Bishan Singh Bedi, died due to cardiac arrest in London on Monday, the Saurashtra Cricket Association said.
He was 77 and is survived by his wife Kalindi, son Nayan, who has also played first- class cricket, and daughter Vishakha.
Doshi made his Test debut in 1979 after Bedi's retirement and played his last of his 33 games in 1983.
In those matches, he took 114 wickets with six five-wicket hauls and was exceptional at home during the first three seasons, completing 100 scalps in just 28 Tests.
His finest hour was getting five wickets in India's Test win at the MCG in 1981 when the visitors defended a paltry target.
Doshi bowled with a fractured toe and was literally unplayable on an up-and-down MCG track. Doshi, Karsan Ghavri and the peerless Kapil Dev won that game for India.
He was also a stalwart in English county circuit having plied his trade for more than a decade there. He represented Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire.
"Dilip bhai suffered a heart attack in London. He is no more," Saurashtra CA president Jaydev Shah told PTI.
"Dilip's passing away is a personal loss to me. He was like a family. He was one of the finest human beings," former BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said.
In the Indian domestic circuit, he played for Bengal and Saurashtra. In all he had a staggering 898 first-class scalps with 43 five-fors.
He was Bengal's go-to man in Ranji Trophy for years.
While Bedi remains India's greatest left-arm spinner, Doshi was one of the most accurate bowlers who would flight the ball when required and was very accurate for the better part of his career.
The touring Australian, English and West Indies teams found it difficult to handle his arm balls, and it was Javed Miandad, who actually hastened his exit from international cricket during the 1982-83 series against Pakistan.
The bespectacled cricketer was a gentleman to the core.
Miandad would often tease him by enquiring about his room number in the middle of the game.
"Ae Dilip tela loom number kya hai," Miandad would ask in a slurry tone.
His batting and fielding in those days wasn't top notch but in that era he could survive because his bowling was from top drawer.
He was a close friend of Sunil Gavaskar and the legend was first introduced to his wife Marshaniel by Doshi.
After retirement, he had migrated to London where he became a successful businessman.
He would divide his time between London, Mumbai and Rajkot, and it was quite strange that the BCCI never bothered to use Doshi's expertise.
Former India captain Anil Kumble was among the first to pay his tribute to the late cricketer.
"Heartbreaking to hear about Dilip bhai's passing. May God give strength to his family and friends to bear this loss. Nayan, thinking of you buddy," Kumble wrote on X.

In Hazaribag, Jharkhand, a couple tragically died after their roof collapsed. The government is providing relief and educational support to their children while assessing house safety to prevent future incidents.

Roof Collapse in Jharkhand Claims Two Lives

A couple died in Hazaribag, Jharkhand when their roof collapsed. Government aid and safety measures are underway to support the family and prevent further tragedies.

A couple died in a roof collapse in Jharkhand's Hazaribag. Officials provide aid, education, and compensation to the surviving family. Safety measures are being reviewed to prevent further incidents.

A couple died after the roof of their room collapsed and fell on them in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district, an official said on Monday.
The incident happened when the couple was sleeping inside the room at Rasoidhamna village on Sunday night.
The deceased were identified as Hadis Ansari (52) and his wife Zamira Khatun (48).
Barhi Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Johan Tudu said they were sleeping in their room when the roof of their room collapsed on them and they died on the spot.
Other members of the house remained unaffected as they were sleeping in separate rooms, he said.
The SDO said the bodies were sent for postmortem at the Barhi Sub Division Hospital.
He said that the relief and grants would be provided to the family as per the government rule.
Ansari and Khatun were parents of five children including three daughters and two sons. The elder daughter is married.
"Ansari was the sole bread earner of the family. Two girls are below 18 years of age. So, the administration has decided to admit them in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Hazaribag," Tudu said.
After seeing the condition of the family, the SDO provided 50 kg of ration and Rs 10,000 in cash for immediate relief.
He said that the family would receive Rs 4 lakh as compensation for each death under the disaster management department. "The document regarding this is being prepared and it will be soon submitted to the deputy commissioner," he added. The SDO added, "We have ordered a survey of old and dilapidated houses in the area in a bid to avoid such incidents."

Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav accuse UP government of underreporting Kumbh stampede death toll, citing a BBC report. The allegations highlight a pattern of data concealment in tragic events.

Rahul Gandhi Questions UP Govts Kumbh Stampede Data

Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav challenge the UP government's reported death toll from the Maha Kumbh stampede. Citing a BBC report, they allege significant underreporting, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in official statistics.

Rahul Gandhi claims BBC report reveals UP govt underreporting Kumbh stampede deaths, echoing COVID-19 data issues.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday cited a BBC report to allege that the number of people who died in stampedes during the Maha Kumbh was suppressed by the Uttar Pradesh government and accused the BJP of having no accountability.
"BBC report reveals that figures of deaths in Kumbh Mela stampede were hidden. Like in COVID, the bodies of the poor were erased from the statistics. Like after every major railway accident the truth is suppressed," he said in a post on X.
"This is the BJP model - if there is no counting of the poor, then there is no accountability either!" the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said.
On Tuesday, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav cited the same media report to accuse the Uttar Pradesh government of lying about the death toll in the January 29 Maha Kumbh stampede and said that those who provide "false statistics" are not worthy of public trust.
Yadav made the remarks in a post on X, citing a BBC report which claimed that 82 people died in the stampede. The toll is significantly higher than the official figure of 37.

RCB's victory celebration turned tragic with 11 fatalities in a stampede outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium. This incident highlights crucial security lapses during mass events and marks a grim reminder of ensuring safety for cricket enthusiasts.

RCB Celebration Marred by Stampede, 11 Dead

During RCB's IPL victory celebration at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium, a stampede resulted in 11 deaths. The incident revealed major safety shortcomings, emphasizing the urgent necessity for meticulous event planning and crowd management to protect fans.

Fans, officials blamed for Chinnaswamy stadium stampede

A stampede outside Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium during an RCB celebration event left 11 dead.

"I don't know what we did wrong...we had tickets," an exasperated RCB supporter wondered outside the Chinnaswamy stadium, watching what was meant to be a day of celebration become a day of mourning after 11 fans were killed in a mad scramble to attend the team's IPL victory party here.
Thirty three of the team's injured supporters had to be hospitalised after a chaotic day.
"When one organises a victory celebration of this magnitude...safety and security measures need to be taken," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI, taking note of the lack of preparedness to deal with the lakhs who crowded the streets, desperate to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars, including the enigmatic Virat kohli.
The tickets for the hastily-arranged engagement programme were sold in a jiffy, but the fans crowded all the gates 12, 13 (main gates) and 10 (club house entrance) with not enough security to control them.
The number swelled to unexpected levels around 3.30pm and it forced the police and stadium security officials to close all the gates to prevent the ticket-less from squeezing in along with the ones who had valid tickets.
"We came to watch our stars. I bought tickets for the function but was not even able to enter the stadium. Police suddenly blocked all the roads and closed all the entrances to the venue, and suddenly they started lathi-charging near the main gate," said Prashant Shetty, a post-graduate student who came along with a few of his friends.
"I don't know what we did wrong. We were invited for the function and bought tickets but in the end got beaten up and abused. Terrible day for fans like us," he added.
At around 4.30 pm many more came from the nearby Cubbon Park metro station, worsening the situation and the police had to resort to mild use of force to disperse the huge gathering.
At Gate No. 10, the situation was grimmer as women and children were shoved around forcefully, and even this reporter was pushed to a corner by a police official with a lathi who also hurled some swear words in local dialect.
Several ticket-holders had no choice but to make a retreat from the venue albeit thankful that they escaped unscathed from what became a stampede.
Even from a distance, it was disturbing to see women fainting and some others getting crushed under the feet of jostling fans.
The fan engagement function lasted close to an hour and the team went back to the hotel around 6:30 pm, but the fans still remained near the stadium, creating further traffic blocks and chaos, before slowly moving away after a tragic day.

A tragic stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium claims four lives during RCB's IPL triumph celebration, highlighting serious crowd management lapses.

Tragedy Strikes Stampede After RCBs IPL Win

A joyful celebration turns tragic as a stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium ends in the loss of four fans' lives. Insufficient crowd control during RCB's IPL win highlights crucial safety lapses, raising concerns for future events.

RCB celebrations lacked planning, says BCCI secretary Saikia

A stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium, post-RCB's IPL win leads to four deaths due to improper crowd control, underscoring the need for better event safety measures.

The stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium that led to death of at least four fans is "unfortunate" and RCB's IPL-winning celebrations should have been planned better, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI on Wednesday.
The celebratory mood in the city turned sombre a day after RCB ended their 18-year wait for an IPL title. Lakhs of fans gathered outside the stadium, which the police could not control, leading to utter chaos.
"It is very unfortunate. This is a negative side of popularity. People are crazy for their cricketers. The organisers should have planned it better. My deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. I wish early recovery of the injured," said Saikia.
"When one organises a victory celebration of this magnitude, proper precautions, safety and security measures need to be taken. There have been some lapses somewhere.
"After such a glorious ending to the IPL, this has been an anti climax. There have been IPL celebrations in the past as well, like in Kolkata last year when KKR won but nothing happened there." Saikia also cited the examples of the celebrations in Mumbai following India's T20 World Cup triumph in Barbados.
"Same was the case when we won the T20 World Cup. There was a sea of humanity in Mumbai but nothing happened. Police and local authorities worked in tandem to ensure smooth conduct. I hope nothing more untoward happens.
"Even yesterday in Ahmedabad, during the IPL final, there were 120,000 people at the stadium but BCCI has a dedicated team which has done elaborate planning in coordination with local district administration and law enforcing authorities to ensure that safety and security of the spectators," Saikia added.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court transfers the probe into engineer Vimal Negi's death to the CBI after allegations of harassment. The decision is aimed at ensuring a fair investigation following family protests.

Himachal Court Orders CBI Probe in Engineer Death

Following allegations by Vimal Negi's wife regarding harassment, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has ordered the death probe to be transferred to the CBI. This move aims for transparency and justice.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court has ordered a CBI investigation into engineer Vimal Negi's death. His wife claims harassment by superiors. The court seeks an unbiased probe free from local officer involvement, echoing the family's demands for justice.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Friday transferred the probe into the death of state Power Corporation Limited chief engineer Vimal Negi, whose body was found under mysterious circumstances in the Gobind Sagar Lake in Bilaspur district on March 18, to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
A single-bench of the high court comprising Justice Ajay Goyal, which reserved its judgement in the case on Wednesday, accepted a petition filed by Negi&rsquo;s wife and ordered to transfer the investigation to the CBI.
The court also said that no officer of Himachal Pradesh cadre be associated with the probe, R K Bawa, advocate for the petitioner, said.
A copy of the judgment is awaited.
Negi went missing on March 10 and his body was found on March 18.
His wife Kiran Negi had alleged that her husband was tortured by his superior officials for the past six months, who also misbehaved with him.
She also alleged that her husband was forced to work till late at night even when he was ill.
Appearing for the state, Advocate General Anup Rattan said, &ldquo;While we are not averse to any investigation by any party, the probe carried out by the SIT was fair and transparent. As of now, we will not file an appeal challenging the (high court) order." During the hearing on Wednesday, DGP Atul Verma raised questions on the &ldquo;impartiality&rdquo; of the probe by the special investigation team (SIT), even as Rattan defended the SIT investigation, saying it was being conducted properly without any bias.
Welcoming the court order, former chief minister and Leader of Opposition in the Vidhan Sabha, Jai Ram Thakur, said now the matter will be investigated impartially and the truth will come out.
After Negi was found dead on March 18, his family members sat on a dharna outside the Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited&rsquo;s (HPPCL) office in Shimla with the body the next day, demanding a CBI inquiry into the matter.
Subsequently, a case of abetment to suicide and joint criminal liability under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered against the director (electrical) and managing director of the HPPCL.

Aujla blames CM Mann for Punjab's liquor tragedy, urging accountability. Methanol poisoning raises concerns on drug policy.

Punjab Liquor Tragedy Aujla Blames CM Mann

Aujla holds CM Mann responsible for 27 liquor deaths in Amritsar, calling for accountability and action on Punjab's drug crisis.

MP demands Mann take liquor deaths responsibility

Aujla blames CM Mann for the Amritsar liquor tragedy's 27 deaths, urging accountability and better anti-drug efforts.

Congress MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla on Friday said Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann should take full responsibility for the spurious liquor tragedy that led to 27 deaths in Amritsar district and hold top officials accountable.
The Amritsar tragedy was not an isolated incident. There have been similar incidents during the past few years but the government has not learnt any lesson, he claimed.
Twenty-seven people, mostly daily-wage labourers, died after consuming spurious liquor in Amritsar district.
Aujla, the MP from Amritsar, expressed grief over the deaths and said, "The Punjab government's ongoing Yudh Nashian Virudh (campaign against drugs) has no connect whatsoever with the ground reality. Otherwise, this tragedy would not have happened." He pointed out that 120 deaths were reported due to spurious liquor consumption in Amritsar, Batala and Tarn Taran in 2020. In March 2024, 20 people died due to consumption of spurious liquor in Sangrur.
"No one knows what was done to the culprits and that is why people have no fear of the law. Now it has happened again in my (Amritsar parliamentary) constituency," Aujla said.
He added the recent deaths exposed the Mann's government's claims about the Yudh Nashian Virudh campaign.
"The chief minister should take full responsibility for the tragic deaths. He should hold top officials responsible and get resignations of all those government functionaries who are at the helm&hellip; Suspending DSP- and SHO-rank officials is not enough," Aujla said.
He also claimed the state government was focusing solely on revenue collection.
Highlighting that most victims of the recent and past hooch tragedies came from the poor strata of society who put their lives at risk to buy liquor from unauthorised sources, Aujla suggested the government should keep this in mind and provide country liquor at cheap rates in villages.
"Good quality liquor is not being sold at the actual price but at a higher rate, due to which the poor class is being forced to buy cheap and spurious liquor," he said and claimed there was a difference between the minimum sale price and the actual sale price of different country liquor brands.
Aujla said he had been raising alarm by writing to the director general of police and government officials, highlighting the worsening drug crisis, particularly in Amritsar and the border areas.
"I have consistently exposed the deep-rooted drug nexus and repeatedly brought the issue to the attention of the government and now the spurious liquor issue but all my missives were ignored," he claimed.
He also alleged there was a dangerous collusion between drug cartels, certain senior police personnel, and some state government officials.
"I strongly demand that the state government form a high-level committee under the supervision of a sitting high court judge to investigate the number of drug- and liquor-related deaths and go into related issues," he said.
Aujla said the situation in Amritsar was very serious and demanded that the central government send a high-level delegation under a Supreme Court judge to investigate the manufacture and supply of drugs and poisonous liquor in Amritsar and other parts of the state and pinpoint the people behind these activities.
The AAP government has drawn flak for the Amritsar tragedy, with the opposition demanding Mann's resignation.
The state government has said most of the culprits were arrested and vowed to ensure the strictest punishment for them.
A police probe has revealed that methanol-- a chemical used in industrial products -- was procured in bulk online to prepare the toxic brew.
Methanol is a light, colourless organic chemical compound that is poisonous when ingested and is illegally added to alcoholic beverages as a cheaper alternative to ethanol, which is the normal consumable alcohol.
Mann said his government would not spare anyone, however affluent they might be, involved in the sale of spurious liquor.
Aujla said, "We all know that illegal liquor manufacturers are ordering a large quantity of methanol and the state government hasn't done anything in this regard." He said every village in Punjab was affected and there had been a number of deaths due to drugs in recent years.
"When a big incident happens, action is taken against just a few and some are suspended but, after a few days, everything is forgotten," Aujla said and added it was time the government took the issue seriously.

Terror attack in Pahalgam claims one life, injures 6 tourists

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, leaves one tourist dead and six injured. It raises security concerns for the upcoming Amarnath Yatra.

A terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed the life of one tourist and left six others injured.
The attack occurred in the upper meadows of Baisaran Valley, a remote area accessible only by foot or horseback. Security forces and medical teams have swiftly moved to the scene.
The gunmen, reportedly disguised in camouflage, carried out what appears to be a targeted attack.
This incident has shocked the Pahalgam region, renowned for its breathtaking forests, clear lakes, and expansive meadows, attracting countless tourists each year.
This attack comes amid the high tourist season in the region and coincides with the ongoing registration for this year's Amarnath Yatra. The 38-day pilgrimage, one of the holiest journeys for Hindus, commences on July 3.
Devotees embark on this spiritual trek via two routes: the 48-km Pahalgam path through Anantnag district and the shorter, yet steeper, 14-km Baltal route in Ganderbal district.
Recently, during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Amit Shah presided over a high-level security review meeting. He emphasized the need for the complete eradication of terrorism, particularly focusing on the Jammu division, and stressed a zero-tolerance stance on infiltration.
Condemning the attack, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti stated, "Such violence is unacceptable and must be denounced."
She called for a comprehensive investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable and to scrutinize any security lapses. "Historically, Kashmir has warmly welcomed tourists, making this rare incident deeply concerning. Ensuring visitor safety is paramount, and steps must be taken to prevent future attacks," she added.
As the investigation unfolds, questions about security measures in the region and the impact on the upcoming Amarnath Yatra loom large. Authorities are urged to reinforce safety protocols to protect both citizens and visitors in this sensitive region.
