Union Minister BL Verma on Tuesday criticised the Congress ahead of the INDIA bloc rally scheduled for November 1, accusing the party of being unable to accept the people's mandate in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 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. We have also seen that sometimes Congress people use abusive words for the Prime Minister, sometimes for his...

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.

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.

New research highlights that individuals frequently misjudge how much others enjoy their company during interactions. This phenomenon, known as the liking gap, shows that people are harsher judges of their own performance. Participants in studies indicated they liked their partners more than expected. Observers are often unaware of each other's internal doubts and nervousness during conversations. Understanding this may encourage more positive interactions as connections develop over time.

People in Pakistan face problems due to rise in prices of fuel and food
Digital Desk | Islamabad, Oct 25 (IANS) People have been facing problems in Pakistan due to a rise in prices of fuel, food, and transport fares as prices of petrol have increased by 26.11 per cent and high-speed diesel by 26.39 per cent in the nearly four months of the financial year 2026-27, local media reported on Sunday. Prices of petrol climbed to Pakistani Rupees (PKR) 377.71 per litre on October 24 from PKR 299.50 on July 1. During the same period, the price of high-speed diesel rose to PKR 393.66 per litre from PKR 311.47. Passenger transporters and freight operators have been facing problems due to the rise in fuel prices, Pakistani daily The Express Tribune reported. Salaried employees, daily-wage workers, pensioners, and low-income families were facing problems in managing household expenses as the price index for 51 essential commodities increased about 5.81 per cent from July 2 to October 22, according to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics' weekly Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI). Apart from the increase in prices of essential commodities, the cost of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has also increased. Transport fares and the price of roti have increased due to the rising costs, with people complaining that Pakistani authorities have not been able to curb profiteering and provide relief. Low-and middle-income households in Karachi have been facing difficulties in affording even two meals a day due to the increase in food prices. Households have been facing problems in managing their expenses due to the increasing price of flour. A rise of PKR 150 per kilogram in the price of LPG over the past week has further placed pressure on households, with the tandoor operators warning that the price of roti would further increase if the cost of LPG is not reduced by Pakistani authorities. People have said that there is no effective check on rampant inflation and the official price lists are not available in markets, with the profiteers operating freely, The Express Tribune reported. Consumers have complained that the government has not provided relief from increasing prices. In July, members of the transgender community in Pakistan held a protest in Karachi against rising inflation and the recent hike in petroleum prices. They also spoke in detail about the problems faced by the community in Karachi as the cost of living has increased due to the hike in prices of fuel and essential commodities. Protesters carrying placards and shouting slogans against the government held the protest outside Karachi Press Club and urged the Shehbaz Sharif governmentto reduce the price of essential commodities and fuel. The protesters warned that continued inaction would increase problems for the vulnerable section of society, The Express Tribune reported. Addressing the protesters, Gender Interactive Alliance spokesperson Zehrish Somroo said that the community was holding a protest as inflation continued to erode the livelihoods of people. We have come out today to protest against rising inflation and the increase in fuel prices because the cost of living continues to rise every day, and it has deeply affected the lives of the transgender community as well, The Express Tribune quoted Somroo as saying. During the protest, participants said repeated increases in prices of fuel and essential goods have pushed many low-income households to the brink, compelling some to sell personal belongings to meet daily expenses. They urged the government to take immediate measures to control inflation and warned of holding larger demonstrations if their demands are not met.
