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.

Four Coaches Of Chauri Chaura Express Derail In UP After Leaving Kanpur Central Station
Four coaches of the Gorakhpur-bound Chauri Chaura Express derailed while leaving Kanpur Central, with no casualties reported among around 300 affected passengers.
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.

Birthdays often offer an opportunity to reflect on the journey so far, and for Samridhii Shukla, the occasion is as much about gratitude as it is about celebrating another year of life. The actress, who has become a familiar face in Indian households with her portrayal of Abhira Poddar in Star Plus long-running show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, believes that the past year has taught her valuable lessons about family, resilience and self-worth. As Abhira, the spirited lawyer who is now married to another Armaan Poddar, played by Rohit Purohit, Samridhii has earned considerable affection from viewers. While the character continues to enjoy a special place in the audiences hearts, the actress admits that the love surrounding Abhira has also brought about a significant change in her own life. Looking back at the year gone by, Samridhii identifies family as her biggest source of strength. I feel family is the one constant that stands by you through every phase of life, and right now, they are my biggest pillar of strength, she says. She is equally grateful for the opportunity to work every day and pursue something she genuinely loves, along with the affection and appreciation she continues to receive from people. One of the biggest realisations of the year, however, has been discovering her own resilience. One thing I have learnt about myself is that I am much stronger than I give myself credit for. There were times when I doubted my own strength, but this year has made me realise that I am, in fact, quite strong, the actress reflects. The appreciation she receives for playing Abhira has also played an important role in shaping her confidence. Describing the audiences love as instrumental in her journey, Samridhii says, It has given me newfound confidence and so much unconditional love and appreciation. It has shaped me into a more confident actor and, as a person, I feel much more appreciated. She particularly values how viewers celebrate milestones that can sometimes get lost in the everyday demands of a television schedule. Whether it is completing 1,000 episodes, marking three years on the show or winning an award, the audience makes sure that these moments receive their due recognition. When you are working every day, sometimes you get caught up in the routine and become immune to your own milestones. But the audience constantly reminds you to pause and celebrate these moments, she explains. Over the years, Samridhiis understanding of success and happiness has also evolved. Today, she measures success through her ability to fulfil professional responsibilities and do justice to the work entrusted to her. She also finds happiness in life's everyday comforts and the people she can genuinely depend on. As you grow older, you realise that you dont need a large circle; you just need a few people who genuinely want the best for you, she says. This shift in perspective is also reflected in the way she approaches birthdays. While she was once someone who had elaborate expectations and looked forward to being celebrated, showered with gifts and appreciated, she now prefers to let the day unfold naturally. Her ideal celebration is simple: spending time with loved ones without worrying about elaborate arrangements. In fact, her recent Diwali celebrations offered a glimpse into the kind of happiness she values. With no particular plans, she spent time at home with her family, enjoying her mother's home-cooked Kashmiri pulao, chole puri and basundi. The experience reinforced her belief that celebrations do not necessarily need to be planned to be memorable. She also acknowledges the pressure of the Instagram-driven world, where there is often an expectation to make every occasion look picture-perfect. For Samridhii, preserving her authenticity matters more. That outlook is perhaps rooted in the lessons she has learnt while growing up. If she could meet her younger self, the actress would simply tell her to relax and trust that everything would eventually fall into place. Describing herself as an extremely sensitive and empathetic person, she admits that learning to establish boundaries has been an important part of her personal growth. Today, I have understood that other peoples actions are often a reflection of what they are dealing with themselves and dont necessarily have anything to do with me. I have learnt not to take everything personally, and that is something I wish I had understood earlier, she shares. Beyond her television commitments, Samridhii is also looking forward to exploring digital media more actively in the coming year. She hopes to experiment with Instagram, create content and gradually build a community where she can express herself more freely. However, the actress admits that stepping outside her comfort zone will take some effort, given that she considers herself an introvert. I also want whatever I create to feel extremely organic and authentic. I dont want it to feel forced or like I am trying to show a particular side of myself. I think this is about slowly coming out of my shell, and I am sure I will get there, she says. Interestingly, her birthday also coincides with Children's Day, making the occasion particularly meaningful because of a cherished childhood tradition. Samridhii recalls how her father would bring her a red rose every year, associating it with the tradition of Chacha Nehru. He would also narrate stories about freedom fighters, a subject that was close to the family's heart, considering her great-grandparents' involvement in the freedom struggle. Her great-grandfather even served as an MLA in Kanpur for a brief period. She also remembers looking forward to Children's Day celebrations at school, particularly the opportunity to wear casual clothes instead of her uniform and distribute candies to her classmates. However, the day usually coincided with a school holiday. Looking at the affection and recognition she receives today, the actress feels those missed celebrations have been more than compensated for. Looking at how many people celebrate my birthday today and shower me with love, I feel life has made up for all those missed school celebrations. The recognition and affection I receive, even from people I have never met, are truly overwhelming. What more could I ask for? she concludes. For Samridhii Shukla, then, another birthday is not about grand celebrations or a long list of expectations. It is about acknowledging the people who have stood by her, appreciating the journey that has brought her here and finding the confidence to embrace everything that lies ahead.

Diwali rush: Over 8.20 lakh passengers travel in six days; Western Railway runs 73 special trains
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Nov 7 (IANS) More than 8.20 lakh passengers travelled from stations under the Ahmedabad Division of Western Railway in the first six days of November, prompting the railway administration to deploy additional staff, set up holding areas and operate 73 special train trips to manage the festive rush during Diwali and Chhath Puja. Between November 1 and 6, the division recorded 4.55 lakh passengers travelling on unreserved tickets and 3.65 lakh on reserved tickets. Ahmedabad Railway Station accounted for more than 3.20 lakh passengers, followed by Sabarmati with 1.30 lakh and Asarwa with around 50,000. Together, the three stations handled more than five lakh passengers during the six days. To meet the additional demand, Western Railway is operating 73 special train trips from the Ahmedabad Division during November to destinations across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and other states. The services are being operated from Ahmedabad, Sabarmati, Asarwa, Bhuj and Gandhidham, connecting passengers to cities including Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Mumbai, Prayagraj, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Barauni, Rajgir, Jaipur, Haridwar and Bhagalpur. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Ved Prakash visited Ahmedabad Railway Station late at night and remained there with railway officials to oversee arrangements for passengers travelling during the festive season. He inspected the holding areas and other facilities and interacted with passengers heading to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to enquire about their travel experience. He also extended Chhath Puja greetings and appealed to them to board trains in an orderly manner. Passengers raised slogans of 'Chhath Maiya Ki Jai' alongside the DRM and appreciated the arrangements. They said that after waiting for some time, they were allowed to board trains in an organised manner, allowing them to proceed towards their hometowns. Special holding areas have been set up at Ahmedabad and Sabarmati stations to prevent overcrowding on platforms. Seating, drinking water, lighting and fans have been provided at these locations for passengers waiting for their trains. The division has also arranged food packets, water bottles, chips and biscuits for general-class passengers. Voluntary organisations and NGOs are assisting in distributing food and drinking water. Additional cleaning staff have been deployed, while water coolers and other drinking water facilities are being monitored regularly. For security and crowd management, additional Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel, ticket-checking staff and other railway employees have been deployed. CCTV cameras are being used to monitor station premises, platforms and crowded areas. Particular attention is being paid to regulating passenger movement at entry and exit gates, foot overbridges and platforms. A dedicated war room has also been set up in the control building at the DRM's office to monitor passenger movement and train operations round the clock. During his inspection, Prakash reviewed CCTV surveillance, real-time crowd management, passenger movement on platforms, holding areas and queue-based boarding arrangements. He directed officials to coordinate immediately through the war room and take necessary action in the event of excessive crowding or passenger inconvenience at any station. Information about special train services, schedules and passenger facilities is being disseminated through electronic display boards, public announcement systems and social media. Train operations and punctuality are also being monitored regularly. The division has appealed to passengers to follow railway guidelines, maintain discipline on station premises and reach stations sufficiently ahead of their scheduled train departure times.
Married UP man dies by suicide after friend's daughter rejects his proposal in Delhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) A 47-year-old married man died by suicide after setting himself on fire inside a utensil factory in northwest Delhi's Wazirpur Industrial Area. Police said he left behind a suicide note in which he attributed his extreme step to the breakdown of his alleged 'friendship' with a 20-year-old woman, who is his friend's daughter. The deceased, identified as Sandeep, was a native of Sant Kabir Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, where he lived with his wife and two children. According to police, Sandeep frequently visited a friend's house, where he developed feelings for the latter's daughter. The woman, who works at a utensil factory in Wazirpur Industrial Area, lives alone in Delhi. Police said Sandeep regularly contacted the woman over the phone. However, she had reportedly stopped communicating with him for some time. Disturbed by this, he travelled to Delhi on Thursday. On Friday, Sandeep reached the factory carrying two bottles of petrol and asked the woman to marry him. When she declined his proposal, he poured petrol over himself and set himself ablaze, police said. Hearing his cries, factory workers rushed to help him. They managed to extinguish the flames and immediately shifted him to Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. During the investigation, police recovered a suicide note in which Sandeep held the woman responsible for the breakdown of their friendship and linked it to his decision to take his own life. However, the woman has denied being in a relationship with him, police said. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, while the deceased's family has been informed about the incident. Further investigation into the matter is underway. In a separate incident earlier this week, a 25-year-old man died by suicide at the residence of his married girlfriend in Kanpur on Tuesday. He had reportedly gone to meet her and was sitting inside a room when her brother-in-law grew suspicious of someone's presence inside. In desperation the young man decided to kill himself.
