Drone surveillance is being conducted at key locations, while several Metro stations, including Supreme Court and Mandi House, have been closed as part of the security measures. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Anant Mittal reached the Aya Nagar border to review the arrangements ahead of the protest. Delhi Police personnel were checking vehicles entering the national Capital to prevent unauthorised persons from reaching New Delhi. Speaking to IANS, DCP Anant Mittal said, Regarding the call given by the CJP to protest in New Delhi, security arrangements have been made accordingly in Delhi and in the South district as well. Special security arrangements are in place at inter-state and inter-district borders. We are preventing unauthorised elements from entering New Delhi and checking them. Our effort is to ensure that everything remains peaceful and law and order is maintained. Police personnel have also been equipped with body cameras to record any instances of manhandling or physical altercations during the demonstration. At New Delhi Railway Station, drone surveillance is underway, with Delhi Police and Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel deployed across the premises. Security marches are being conducted, and drones are being used to monitor the situation. Meanwhile, barricades have been placed at several locations, including Ghazipur and Badarpur borders, where police personnel are checking suspicious vehicles. Paramilitary forces have also been deployed to prevent leaders and party workers from reaching the protest site. Heavy police deployment has been reported at Janpath Gol Chakkar, while security has been tightened on roads leading towards Janpath Metro Station.

A passenger told IANS, We didn't face any difficulties; we came by train very comfortably. There was a bit of doubt at night, but in the morning, we were allowed to come comfortably, so there was no problem.

Free LPG cylinders, AC electric buses: UP Cabinet approves more than 30 proposals
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 9 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet on Friday approved a number of proposals, including continuation of the scheme to provide two free LPG cylinders in a year, facilitating the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses, launching of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone development scheme, and providing three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Around 39 proposals were approved during the Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The UP Cabinet approved a proposal to continue the scheme of providing one free LPG cylinder refill each on Diwali and Holi to the eligible beneficiaries of 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana' in the financial year 2026-27. In all, the eligible beneficiaries will receive two free cylinder refills during the financial year. The state government will spend Rs 2,142.78 crore on this initiative. The first free refill will be provided between October and December 2026 (coinciding with Diwali), and the second between January and March 2027 (coinciding with Holi). According to the eligibility criteria set by the government, the benefits of the scheme will be available only to those Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana beneficiaries whose bank accounts are linked to Aadhaar and who have completed their Aadhaar authentication. The Yogi Adityanath government will also facilitate the operation of 1,725 air-conditioned electric buses. These electric buses will operate in Agra, Aligarh, Ayodhya, Bareilly, Firozabad, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Jhansi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Mathura-Vrindavan, Meerut, Moradabad, Prayagraj, Shahjahanpur, Saharanpur, Varanasi, and Noida (including Jewar). As per the Cabinet's decision, the operation of all 1,725 AC electric buses will be handled by private operators through a 12-year contract, commencing from the date of commercial operations. The UP cabinet has also approved the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Skill Training and Employment Zone (SVPSTPZ) development scheme during its meeting on Friday. The scheme aims to develop Uttar Pradesh into an ultimate sourcing hub for skilled manpower and a global manpower hub. Under this initiative, an integrated system for skill training and employment will be developed across nine zones, covering all 75 districts of the state. According to the government, this will help train youth in accordance with the industry demands and connect them with employment opportunities available both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, a proposal to rename the state's Bhadohi district to 'Sant Ravidas Nagar Bhadohi' was also approved. During the tenure of the previous Samajwadi Party government, the name 'Sant Ravidas' was dropped, with the district being known as Bhadohi. Now, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to reincorporate the name of 'Sant Ravidas' while simultaneously preserving Bhadohi's historical identity. Further, the UP government has decided to provide three sarees every year to the state's Anganwadi workers and helpers. Currently, workers and helpers receive two sarees a year. The new arrangement is scheduled to benefit 3,80,290 workers and helpers across the state. Moreover, Chief Minister Yogi announced during a press conference after the meeting that the UP Cabinet has passed a proposal to rename Noida International Airport as Narendra Modi International Airport.

UP AAP womens wing chief, BSP leader join Congress
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 8 (IANS) Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, several leaders and social workers from different political parties joined the Congress on Thursday, said a party leader. Among those who joined the party were Neelam Yadav, Uttar Pradesh president of the Aam Aadmi Partys womens wing and a former national executive member; former Bahujan Samaj Party candidate from Ghaziabad Parmanand Garg; former Government of India official Durga Prasad; and Haji Imamuddin Ansari, a social worker and representative of the weavers community from Noorpur in Bijnor. Uttar Pradesh Congress in-charge Rajendra Pal Gautam formally inducted the leaders into the party, said a party statement. Welcoming the new entrants, Gautam said people were joining the Congress in large numbers every day, mentioning that they were fed up with the misrule of the BJP. He said the Congress was the only party fighting under the leadership of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, along with the INDIA bloc, to protect the countrys democracy and Constitution. Gautam said that the country was facing a situation akin to dictatorship and an undeclared Emergency. Referring to protests at Jantar Mantar, he also alleged that police directions requiring applications to be submitted 10 days in advance for demonstrations violated citizens fundamental rights and the constitutional freedom of speech and expression. On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Aradhana Misra Mona hinted at a major organisational shake-up ahead of next year's Assembly elections with an evident Brahmin outreach. If the Congress attempts to rebuild its fortunes in Uttar Pradesh through a targeted Brahmin outreach, it would be reinventing the strategy that its leadership embraced a decade ago under the reported guidance of the then political strategist Prashant Kishor. Ahead of the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election, the Congress had brought in Kishor to draft its revival strategy. Reports had said that the poll consultant favoured projecting a prominent Brahmin face as the party's Chief Ministerial candidate, saying that Congress could attempt to reconnect with this category, once among its most loyal social constituencies. The choice had then reportedly been Sheila Dikshit -- a three-term Chief Minister of Delhi, daughter-in-law of Uttar Pradesh's veteran Congress leader Uma Shankar Dikshit -- explicitly linked to her Brahmin identity and perceived appeal among upper-caste voters. Kishor's strategy was apparently based on the assumption that Brahmins, estimated at around 10 to 12 per cent of Uttar Pradesh's electorate, remained one of the few communities where Congress might recover lost ground. The experiment failed, and the Congress won only seven seats in the election, contesting 114 among a total of 403 Assembly constituencies.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Delhi Polices North District has arrested five accused in connection with a Rs 19.50 lakh robbery case registered at Kashmere Gate Police Station. Police have recovered Rs 9 lakh in cash and an iPhone purchased with the looted money. The incident took place on September 30, when two men travelling on separate motorcycles were robbed of approximately Rs 19.50 Lakh in cash on the Rani Jhansi flyover in Delhi. According to police, the victims worked for a businessman in Chandni Chowk and were carrying the cash after leaving the area. A man working in Chandni Chowk tracked their movements and subsequently planned the robbery with four associates from Ghaziabad. The accused initially intercepted the victims near Kashmere Gate, assaulted them and attempted to rob them. However, the victims managed to escape with the help of members of the public. They did not make a PCR call at that time. The accused later followed the victims and intercepted them again on the Rani Jhansi flyover, where they assaulted them and robbed them of the cash. A team led by North Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police Niharika Bhatt subsequently launched an investigation and arrested five accused in connection with the case. Police recovered Rs 9 lakh in cash and an iPhone bought using the stolen money. Efforts are underway to identify and apprehend other suspected accomplices. In a separate case, also linked to Kashmere Gate, police on September 30 had arrested a 21-year-old man and his 24-year-old associate and apprehended a juvenile for their alleged involvement in the killing of a cash collection agent during an armed robbery at an underpass in north Delhi. Joint Commissioner of Police (Central Range) Madhur Verma had said that the victim, identified as Prabhat, was returning home with his nephew, Sachin, after collecting payments from shops in Gandhi Nagar Market when four armed men intercepted their e-rickshaw at around 7.20 p.m. on September 24. According to police, the assailants had snatched their cash bag and stabbed Prabhat, Sachin and another passenger when they resisted. Prabhat was declared dead at a hospital, while two others sustained injuries. DCP Niharika Bhatt had said the investigation team traced a Maruti Swift that had made a sharp U-turn near the underpass. However, the registration number displayed on the vehicle was found to be fake.

Consultancy owner acquitted in 2014 cheating case
Srinagar, Sept 27: A Srinagar court has acquitted a career consultancy owner accused of cheating a family over the admission of their son to SRM University, Ghaziabad, observing that the prosecution failed to establish the charge amid contradictions in witness statements and gaps in the investigation. The judgment was passed by Varun Kumar, 3rd Additional Munsiff/JMIC Srinagar in a case arising from FIR No. 29/2014 registered at Police Station Saddar under Section 420 of the Ranbir Penal Code. The accused, Aijaz Hussain Rather of Balhama, Srinagar, was facing allegations of cheating the complainants family in connection with admission arrangements. According to the prosecution case, Rather was running a career consultancy and had allegedly taken Rs 1.50 lakh as yearly/institutional fee and Rs 1.80 lakh as donation for securing admission of the complainants son at SRM University. The prosecution alleged that the student was subsequently not provided an admit card and additional money was demanded. After charges were framed in January 2026, the prosecution examined only three witnesses. The court ultimately closed the prosecution evidence after it failed to produce a further witness despite being granted an opportunity. While examining the evidence, the court found significant inconsistencies in the testimony of the witnesses. It noted that the primary complainant, Mohammad Amin Dar, could not recall several important details, including the name of the consultancy, and was unable to explain aspects of the original complaint attributed to him. The court said the discrepancies affected his credibility. The court also pointed to shortcomings in the investigation, noting that the investigating officer had not appeared before the court despite sufficient opportunities. It observed that no independent witness, conversation record or transcript had been produced to corroborate certain allegations against the accused. Another significant observation concerned the alleged registration status of the consultancy. While a prosecution witness claimed that the consultancy was unregistered, the court found that the record apparently contained a registration document showing the firm was registered with the Registration of Firms, Kashmir, Directorate of Industries and Commerce, J&K Government. The court further noted that the complainants son, Farhaan Amin Dar, who was central to the allegations, was not produced as a witness, despite his statement having been recorded under Section 164A in 2014. Holding that the prosecution had failed to establish the ingredients of cheating and that the evidence contained contradictions and deficiencies, the court acquitted Rather of all charges and set him at liberty. His bail and surety bonds were ordered to stand discharged. The accused was represented by advocate Shublee Ashraf and others.

The forecast of clearer skies could provide some relief from the persistent humidity experienced across the city over the past few weeks. The relative humidity is likely to remain around 60 per cent, while weather conditions are expected to be generally comfortable for residents. However, temperatures are likely to rise during the afternoon before easing later in the day. Among the weather stations in the national Capital, Palam is likely to record a minimum temperature of around 23 degree Celsius. Lodi Road and Ayanagar may register minimum temperatures of 24.3 degree Celsius and 24.2 degree Celsius, respectively. The Ridge could witness a comparatively cooler morning, with the minimum temperature expected to settle at around 22.5 degree Celsius. While Delhi-NCR is likely to remain dry on Tuesday, several other parts of the country are expected to experience rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days due to a weather system developing over the Bay of Bengal. Odisha is likely to witness some of the most intense weather activity as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal becomes more organised. The system is expected to move towards the South Odisha-North Andhra Pradesh coast and reach the west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal near the coast around the morning of September 23. The IMD has issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall exceeding 20 cm in Kandhamal, Gajapati, Ganjam and Puri on September 23. A similar red alert has been issued for Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Rayagada for September 24. Rainfall is expected to remain active across Odisha until September 27, with different districts placed under red, orange and yellow alerts depending on the anticipated intensity of rainfall. Kerala is also likely to experience wet conditions during the week. Light to moderate rainfall has been forecast in several areas between September 21 and 25, while isolated heavy showers are possible in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The IMD has advised residents in areas vulnerable to waterlogging and landslides to remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities. Weather activity is also expected to increase across parts of the Northeast and eastern India. Assam and Meghalaya may experience thunderstorms and lightning on September 22, followed by heavy rainfall between September 23 and 25. Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim could witness thunderstorms, lightning and squally conditions on September 22. Heavy rainfall is likely in these areas on September 23 and 24, while very heavy showers are possible on September 25. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see increased rainfall activity from September 24, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions. Similar weather is likely to develop over West Uttar Pradesh from September 25. In contrast, Delhi-NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Faridabad, is unlikely to receive significant rainfall on Tuesday. The region is expected to remain predominantly dry as the southwest monsoon continues to withdraw from northwest India. However, weather conditions could become more active towards the end of the week, with the IMD forecasting thunderstorms, lightning and squall-like conditions over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi between September 25 and 27. The developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is expected to remain the primary factor influencing rainfall and thunderstorm activity across several parts of the country in the coming days.

Ghaziabad: Fire breaks out in storeroom of high-rise flat, firefighters bring blaze under control
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Sep 12 (IANS) Panic gripped the Aditya Mega City high-rise residential complex in Indirapuram on Saturday afternoon after a major fire broke out in the storeroom of a flat. As a result, the tower was filled with thick, toxic, and suffocating smoke. The fire was brought under control after firefighters launched a challenging operation. No casualties were reported in the incident, though goods stored in the storeroom and household items in the surrounding area were damaged. According to the Fire Department, Vaishali Fire Station received information about the fire at around 2:12 p.m. Following the alert, the station in-charge, under the direction of the Chief Fire Officer, Ghaziabad, immediately dispatched two fire tenders along with a team of firefighters to the spot. On reaching the complex, firefighters found that the blaze had broken out in the storeroom of flat number GC-502, located on the fifth floor of the tower. The fire had intensified rapidly, and smoke had spread to adjoining portions of the flat and the tower. Maintenance staff of the housing society initially attempted to control the fire, but the intensity of the blaze made the situation difficult to manage. Thick smoke soon filled the tower, making it challenging for firefighters to enter the building. Despite the difficult conditions, the fire personnel began the rescue and firefighting operation using protective equipment. A hose line was taken from the ground floor to the affected area through the staircase, while the buildings existing firefighting system was also used to tackle the flames. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus sets entered the affected flat and reached the source of the fire through the dense smoke. Modern exhaust equipment was deployed to remove the accumulated smoke from the tower and the flat. After sustained efforts, the firefighters managed to completely extinguish the blaze. The prompt response by the Fire Department, along with the automatic firefighting system already installed in the society, helped prevent the fire from spreading to other flats. The incident could have resulted in a major tragedy in the high-rise complex, had the fire and dense smoke not been brought under control in time. The fire damaged items kept in the storeroom as well as household belongings in the surrounding area. The exact cause of the fire is being investigated. After extinguishing the blaze, firefighters inspected the affected area to ensure that there was no possibility of the fire reigniting.
