Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 14 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to ensure foolproof arrangements for the safety, convenience and cleanliness for devotees during Chhath Mahaparva, stressing that there should be no compromise on public safety and essential facilities at ghats across the state. Chairing a high-level review meeting through video conferencing on Friday, the Chief Minister instructed district administrations to complete all preparations well in advance, particularly in districts witnessing large gatherings of devotees, including Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Ballia, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Basti and Kanpur Nagar. Describing Chhath as a festival rooted in faith, discipline, purity and gratitude towards nature, Chief Minister Adityanath said, Lakhs of devotees will participate in the festival with immense devotion and enthusiasm across various districts of the state. He noted that devotees would offer arghya to the setting Sun on the evening of November 15, while the four-day festival would conclude on November 16 with offerings to the rising Sun. Directing officials to inspect all major ghats, rivers, ponds and other water bodies, the Chief Minister emphasised proper cleaning, adequate lighting, accessible approach roads, clean drinking water, toilets and changing rooms for women. Giving top priority to devotees' safety, CM Adityanath ordered the installation of strong barricades and warning signboards at vulnerable locations after assessing water levels and depths. Adequate numbers of trained divers, boats and water police personnel must be deployed to prevent accidents. CCTV cameras and public address systems should also be installed for continuous surveillance and crowd management. Special attention, CM Adityanath said, must be given to women, children and senior citizens. Adequate police personnel, including women officers, should be deployed at major ghats. Police personnel should be counselled and encouraged to discharge their duties with restraint, sensitivity and a cooperative approach, the Chief Minister directed. The Chief Minister also called for district-level control rooms and effective coordination between police and administrative officials. Traffic management plans, necessary diversions and designated parking areas should be prepared in advance to prevent congestion around the Puja sites. In a major relief for people travelling home for the festival, CM Adityanath directed the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation to operate additional buses from Delhi to various districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. He categorically instructed officials to ensure that passengers are not charged more than the prescribed fares. He also directed the Urban Development and Panchayati Raj departments to organise special cleanliness drives around ghats and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, with alternative lighting arrangements. First-aid camps, ambulances and emergency services must remain available at major Puja sites, the Chief Minister said. Warning against negligence, CM Adityanath added, There must be no compromise on cleanliness, safety and public convenience during the festival. Senior officials were instructed to personally inspect arrangements and seek assistance from Civil Defence, NCC and NSS volunteers to ensure the smooth and safe celebration of Chhath Mahaparva.

Chhath Puja: BJP govts in Delhi, Bihar to run 77 buses with subsidised fare
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) On the occasion of Chhath Puja, the BJP-led governments in Delhi and Bihar have decided to deploy 77 buses for ferrying devotees on subsidised tickets, Delhi Transport Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh said on Thursday. He said the initiative reflects the shared commitment of both governments to ease the festive travel rush and strengthen interstate public transport connectivity. The initial arrangement from Anand Vihar Bus Terminal includes 77 buses across five Bihar divisions: Muzaffarpur (36), Patna (13), Purnea (12), Gaya Ji (10) and Darbhanga (6), he said. To provide financial relief to passengers, subsidised festival fares are being charged across Non-AC Seater, Non-AC Sleeper, AC Seater and AC Sleeper categories, he said. Depending on the route and bus category, passengers will benefit from reductions ranging from Rs 134 to Rs 1,028, he said. For instance, the Non-AC Seater fare on the Patna-Delhi route has been reduced from Rs 1,615 to Rs 1,221, while the AC Seater fare has been brought down from Rs 1,980 to Rs 1,361, he said. Pankaj Kumar Singh said, Chhath Puja holds immense cultural and emotional significance for lakhs of people from Bihar and Poorvanchal residing in Delhi. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the Delhi government is committed to working in coordination with the Bihar Government to ensure that passengers can travel home safely and affordably. The introduction of subsidised fares and additional bus services is an important step towards making public transport more accessible during the festive season, he said in a statement. The Minister highlighted the proposed Reciprocal Transport Agreement between Delhi and Bihar, which envisages 18 interstate routes connecting Delhi with major destinations in Bihar, including Patna, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj, Buxar, Nawada, Madhubani and Biharsharif. The proposed arrangement provides for bus operations in both directions, with a permit quota of 12 buses each for Delhi and Bihar on every route. Several routes will connect through major transit points in Uttar Pradesh, including Noida, Agra, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur and Varanasi. Pankaj Kumar Singh said that passenger safety and environmental compliance have also been prioritised under the proposed agreement. Only BS-VI environment-friendly CNG buses and electric buses will be permitted. Buses will also be required to have vehicle location tracking devices and emergency buttons. The agreement further provides for mutual recognition of tickets issued in either state and stipulates that the arrangement will remain valid for 10 years subject to applicable legal provisions, he said. The Delhi Transport Minister reiterated that the initial 77-bus service is an important beginning and that its operations will be monitored to assess passenger requirements. Further routes and services will be incorporated in a phased manner to strengthen connectivity between Delhi and Bihar and provide passengers with more convenient and affordable travel options, the statement said.

We may be living in times dominated by hyper-masculine and gory films, but the charm of a clean, feel-good entertainer never fades away. Hence, there's hope that Parivarik ManuRanjan, which releases on Sony LIV on November 13, will spring a surprise. Starring Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari, the film is directed by Varun V Sharma and produced by Ali Abbas Zafar. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Varun spoke about the film's idea, its casting, the possibility of a sequel and a lot more. Not just the casting, but even the writing of Parivarik ManuRanjan is very strong. Certain dialogues are entertaining yet thought-provoking, especially the one about alpha male and beta male The credit for it goes to Brijendra Kala ji. He has been a long-time friend and collaborator, and not many people know that he's also an expert writer. Nobody has really explored that side of him. We were lucky that he came on board very early. He brought that flavour to the film. All three of us me, Ali sir and Kala ji come from small towns. Kala ji belongs to Mathura; I am from Kanpur, while Ali sir grew up in Dehradun. But the credit for getting the secondary characters right goes to Kala ji. Since there are multiple writers on the film, could you tell us who initially came up with the idea? Ali sir and I regularly jam on various ideas. We were also working on an action film at that time. During one of our conversations, we remarked that we grew up watching films of Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee, like Khoobsurat (1980), Chupke Chupke (1975), Guddi (1971), and even films like Padosan (1968). In these films, the settings and characters were very simple. Even the conflicts were simple. Pankaj sir calls such films 'comfort food'. When you eat dal-chawal, you feel satisfied from within. These films have a similar effect. So, we discussed that we should also make a film in that zone. That's how we chanced upon the one-line idea of the film. We realised that we should get Kala ji on board, as we knew that no one could be better than him at adding a quirky flavour to the story. He readily agreed, and we all worked on the subject. Then, Ali sir got busy with his upcoming directorial, Beparwah. Kala ji and I continued working on it, and finally, we were able to lock the screenplay and dialogue draft. Were Pankaj Tripathi and Aditi Rao Hydari the original choices for the characters of Ranjan and Manu? When we locked the script and the core group Ali sir, Kala ji and producer Himanshu Mehra heard it, everyone unanimously agreed that Pankaj ji suited the role to a T. Pankaj ji brings an old-world, innocent and endearing quality to his characters. That's how he is in real life, and it reflects on camera as well. He doesn't have to work hard to bring those qualities to life. I worked with Pankaj sir on my first film, and we have shared a good equation ever since. I narrated the story to him, and he liked it a lot. Within a week, he was on board. As for Aditi ma'am, Ali sir suggested her name. We realized that the casting would work because Pankaj sir and Aditi ma'am seem to belong to completely different worlds. She's regal in real life and looks that way on screen as well. Meanwhile, Pankaj ji is known for gritty and earthy cinema. Both are phenomenal actors. Hence, we thought this pairing would be very interesting and novel. Pankaj Tripathi is perfect as Ranjan. His image is such that it's convincing for viewers when Manu decides to stay at Dubey Niwas, even though Ranjan lives there all alone You're right. In fact, Ranjan initially tells Manu that he doesn't want to hire a woman and is even ready to reimburse her return journey. At a crucial juncture in the film, Manu tells Ranjan's sisters, 'Ek aurat ko mard ki nazar pata hoti hain, chahe achhi ho ya buri'. A character is just a character on paper. It comes to life when an actor plays it convincingly. I feel Pankaj ji has done full justice to the part. Aditi Rao Hydari is adorable and plays her part to a T as well She is a phenomenal actress. Unki jitni taareef ki jaaye, utni kam hai. She has surpassed our expectations. What's next for you after this film? I'm just waiting for the response to Parivarik ManuRanjan. I hope it gets a lot of love from the audience. Then, I'll decide what to do next. Can we expect a part 2 of Parivarik ManuRanjan? Whether a film gets a part 2 or turns into a franchise is decided by market forces. If the audience accepts it wholeheartedly, the chances of a sequel will increase manifold. It's not entirely in the hands of filmmakers to make that call. At the end of the day, the audience is king. They decide what happens next. Parivarik ManuRanjan is skipping a theatrical release and arriving directly on OTT. How do you feel about your film not releasing on the big screen? Digital has its own charm, though Yes, indeed. Pankaj sir told me that he receives messages from countries like Brazil and Paraguay. Yeh woh desh hain jahaan shayad hi kabhi koi Indian film theatre mein lagi ho. Hence, OTT has tremendous reach and helps you get appreciation from far and wide. Also, we had decided from the very beginning that Parivarik ManuRanjan would be suited for a direct-to-OTT release. Pankaj sir and Aditi ma'am have a solid audience base on digital. Hence, it would be easier to reach our target audience by releasing the film on streaming.

Srinagar, Nov 11:Air Quality Index (AQI) readings compiled by Airleaf have turned into an India-Pakistan race. Cities in India and Pakistan overwhelmingly fill the list of the worlds most polluted urban centres as per the rankings released on 10 November 2026. This is perhaps the starkest picture of a regional air quality crisis faced by the subcontinent. The entire top 50 polluted cities are either in India or Pakistan. Qadirpur Ran in Pakistan recorded the highest reading at an extreme AQI of 1065, followed closely by Multan at 983. Gwalior, India ranked third with 816. The top 10 was dominated by a mix of Pakistani cities - Dera Ghazi Khan had an AQI of 716. RenalaKhurd had 700 and Okara 700. Indian cities had Kota with 698, Jodhpur 694, Unnao 693 and Kanpur 693. Down the list, the pattern continues - Pakistani cities such as Kasur, Charsadda, Arifwala, Pattoki, Phool Nagar and Bahawalpur are in the upper ranks. Indian cities including Hapur, Meerut, Soyibug, Lucknow, Palwal, Bhopal, Ambala, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Varanasi, Ludhiana and Ghaziabad also register dangerously high levels. Even cities lower in the top 50 recorded AQI values well into the very unhealthy and hazardous categories. On the US EPA scale used in the rankings, an AQI between 201 and 300 is classified as very unhealthy. Anything above 300 is considered hazardous. Many Indian and Pakistani cities have readings above 500, and in several cases above 700 or even 1000, show severe pollution that poses serious health risks to the entire population. Prolonged exposure to polluted air is known to aggravate respiratory and cardiovascular conditions and reduce lung function. Post-monsoon and in early winter months, meteorological conditions often trap pollutants close to the ground.
