Speaking to the reporters, Verma said the country was progressing under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and alleged that the Congress was unable to accept the public's verdict. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is continuously moving towards development, which these people are unable to accept. The public has rejected Congress. The Prime Minister has received the people's mandate. Their arrogance is so high that they are not ready to accept it, Verma said. He also accused Congress leaders of using abusive language against the Prime Minister and his family, alleging that they had refused to apologise for their remarks.

Blaze at Ghaziabad hotel triggers chaos; 18 people safely evacuated
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) A major fire broke out at a hotel in Ghaziabad, triggering widespread chaos and panic in the area. Several fire tenders were battling the blaze at the Banana Tree Hotel & Banquets, located in the Site IV Industrial Area of Sahibabad, till last reports came in. The reason for the fire was not immediately known, but firefighters successfully evacuated 18 stranded individuals from the hotel, and there were no casualties due to the fire. The fire broke out on an upper floor at the rear portion of the hotel and began to engulf the commercial establishment rapidly. Renovation work was underway at the hotel at the time of the incident. As the Ghaziabad Fire Department received an alarm, it rushed fire tenders to the spot and initiated rescue operations. Thick smoke and flames were seen erupting from the hotel premises. Multiple fire teams and personnel are currently deployed on-site, conducting extensive firefighting operations to bring the fire under control and prevent it from spreading further. According to the Fire Department, the control room at the Vaishali fire station received a report of a fire at the Banana Tree Hotel, Site-4, Sahibabad, at noon on Tuesday. Two fire tenders were immediately dispatched from Vaishali fire station, and additional fire engines were sent from the nearby Sahibabad fire station. It was discovered that the fire originated on the fifth floor, where renovation work was in progress. The flames were spreading rapidly toward the higher floors. As the fire reached alarming levels, filling the hotel with smoke, it posed a daunting challenge for the firefighters. The latter mounted a daring rescue and managed to safely rescue 18 people trapped inside the hotel. While one team evacuated the residents from the hotel, others worked to extinguish the fire. They utilised the hotels existing fire-fighting system to lay out hose lines and pumped water from fire tenders to the upper floors via stairwells to combat the flames. There have been no reports of fatalities or loss of life in the incident, but it does raise questions regarding safety protocols and fire-fighting arrangements during the renovation work that was underway at the hotel.
J&K Cabinet expansion will benefit people, says Deputy CM
Digital Desk | Srinagar, Oct 27 (IANS) Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary, on Tuesday said the expansion of the Union Territory's Cabinet would strengthen the government and ensure that people benefit from its initiatives, while taking a swipe at the BJP over its criticism of the exercise. Surinder Choudhary said the government had fulfilled its promise to expand the Cabinet and pointed out that three ministerial positions had remained vacant before the latest exercise. My leader has fulfilled the promise made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir that we would expand the Cabinet. We have carried out both the reshuffle and the expansion as promised, he said. Acknowledging that Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had taken some time to fill the vacant positions, the Deputy Chief Minister said the induction of senior leaders would help strengthen the government and enable it to serve the people more effectively. It is right that three ministries were vacant. The Chief Minister took some time to fill the Cabinet seats. Multiple senior leaders have joined the Cabinet. The people of Jammu and Kashmir should benefit from this government, and that is why this expansion took place, he said. He also criticised the opposition BJP, saying it should focus on more substantive issues instead of repeatedly raising questions about the Cabinet expansion. Sunil Sharma Sahib, the Leader of the Opposition, is also here. Ask him as well. He was the one who kept saying that we would carry out the expansion. He started talking about it before us, but we have delivered, he said. However, the media should ask them about the issue of how people of Jammu and Kashmir are ostracised outside. Why are the people of J&K beaten up in the rest of the country? Did any one of the BJP leaders speak about it? They should have spoken about it, condemned it, he added. The remarks came after four new ministers were inducted into the Jammu and Kashmir Cabinet, all belonging to the ruling National Conference (NC). The newly inducted ministers include senior NC leader Ali Muhammad Sagar, who represents the Khanyar Assembly constituency in Srinagar and has won the Assembly elections seven times. Shameema Firdous, the MLA from Habba Kadal in Srinagar, was also sworn in. She has won the constituency twice. Mir Saifullah, who represents the Trehgam Assembly constituency in Kupwara district, and Altaf Ahmad Wani, popularly known as Altaf Kaloo, the MLA from Pahalgam in Anantnag district, were the other legislators inducted into the Cabinet. Surinder Choudhary, Sakina Itoo, Javed Rana and Javaid Ahmad Dar are among the ministers who have been retained. With the latest inductions, the total strength of the Jammu and Kashmir Cabinet, including the Chief Minister, has risen to nine, the maximum permitted under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. The expansion fills the vacancies in the Cabinet and brings additional senior NC leaders into the government as it seeks to strengthen its administration and deliver on its commitments to the people of the Union Territory.

Oppn ruining joy of festivals, people must stay vigilant against those on anti-Hindu path: VHP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 27 (IANS) The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Opposition INDIA bloc over the November 1 'Delhi Chalo' march and accused it of uining the joy of Hindu festivals and businesses. VHP Spokesperson Vinod Bansal, taking to social media, called on people to stay vigilant against people and organisations hatching anti-India and anti-Hindu conspiracies. Taking to X, Bansal said, INDI leaders, refrain from attacks on Hindu festivals and the economy in the name of protests. The appeal to postpone the November 1 rally came from traders, so it was rejected outright. If it had come from jihadis, they would have prostrated themselves in apology and cancelled the rally too! Slamming the Congress party, he said, This is the hallmark of Congressi culture... The same day is also Ahoi Ashtami, a major fasting festival observed by mothers for the happiness and long life of their children. Beware...!! These Triple C (Congresi, Communist, and Communalist Jihadi) gangs are plotting from all sides to lay siege and ruin traders' businesses, Hindus' faith, the joy of festivals, and the country's economy! he added. The VHP Spokesperson asserted that earlier conspiracies were hatched to cast a shadow over Navratri and Dussehra festivities, and now it is being done during the nation's biggest festival, Diwali. Citizens (especially Hindu society) must stay vigilant against people and organisations that persist on this anti-Hindu path, Bansal said. Let the INDI knot-heads tie this into a knot and hear it well: No matter how many attempts you make, society will, in due time, surely respond to these vicious plots of yours aimed at harming Hindu society and India's economy, and it will never allow your anti-India, anti-Hindu conspiracies to succeed, he added. This came as Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Monday took to X and made it clear that he intends to proceed with the rally, which is scheduled to be held at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1, just days before Diwali. To every trader in Delhi: We love you and hear you. The Govt shut the metro, sealed our roads and locked down our capital. With a stolen vote, nothing is safe - your shop, your savings, your children's future. Tell Modi to sack accused no. 4, Gyanesh Kumar, and the protests will stop in 30 seconds, Gandhi said. Following this, the Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI) wrote to Gandhi again on Tuesday, pleading that the mega-rally be rescheduled after Diwali festivities. A copy of the letter has also been sent to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge, urging him to discuss the matter with allies in the INDIA bloc.
