Death toll in Yamuna Expressway pile-up at Mathura rises to 19
The accident occurred on December 16 when eight buses and two smaller vehicles collided on the expressway, triggering a massive fire
Yamuna Expressway crash: Death toll may rise as identification of burnt bodies begin, say officials
MATHURA: The death toll in the multi-vehicle pile-up that has killed 13 people on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura may rise further as several severely burnt human remains are yet to be identified, officials said on Wednesday. The identities of five victims of the accident, which took place on Tuesday morning, have been established so far. Many bodies were charred beyond recognition, making identification virtually impossible at this stage, officials said, adding that they were relying on DNA tests for the purpose. According to a panel of doctors conducting post-mortem, police have brought 18 body bags to the mortuary. These contained the heads of 10 victims, torsos of two others, and one largely intact body, while the remaining bags held only small, badly burnt fragments of human remains. Post-mortem examination of all the remains are being carried out and reports are being prepared, officials said. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Gopal Garg said samples of all human remains have been collected and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory in Agra for DNA profiling and to establish their identities by matching them with samples provided by claimants. The district hospital has officially confirmed the death of 13 passengers in the accident. However, officials said that given the fragmented condition of the remains, the actual number of victims could increase once they receive the DNA test reports. Only after DNA testing of all the remains will it be possible to ascertain how many individuals they belong to. Identification will be confirmed after matching with the samples provided by family members, Dr Garg said. Assistant Regional Transport Officer Madan Sharma said Sunil Kumar (45), who was driving the Azamgarh-bound bus involved in the crash, was missing. The second driver and the conductor were admitted to the hospital with injuries, but they have no recollection of the incident. They told us they fainted immediately after the collision and regained consciousness only after being hospitalised. They are unable to say what happened to Sunil Kumar, whether he was injured or died in the crash. His fate may become clear after examination of the burnt remains, Sharma said. A passenger, Parvati (42) from Rath tehsil in Hamirpur district, also remained untraceable. Her brother-in-law Gulzari Lal searched for her till late on Wednesday evening across hospitals and mortuaries, but no information could be found, officials said. In another case, Kanpur resident Pooja has lost her brother-in-law Anuj Srivastava, who was travelling with her on the bus. With several passengers still unaccounted for and identification of remains pending, officials said the possibility of an increase in the death toll cannot be ruled out.
UP CM orders authorities to step up road safety measures following several crashes due to dense fog
LUCKNOW: Following the Yamuna Expressway accident, which claimed 13 lives in the Mathura stretch, UP CM Yogi Adityanath reviewed expressway safety with NHAI and state highway officials on Wednesday. He ordered stricter measures to avert any such incident in future under foggy conditions. CM directed the authorities concerned to increase patrolling, field inspections, deployment of teams at all black spots, installation of reflectors, and 247 availability of cranes and ambulances on expressways. The highway authorities in the state intensified safety measures on expressways and national highways to prevent road accidents amid dense fog conditions during the winter season. As per the senior officials, a day after multiple fog-linked crashes leading to the loss of multiple lives, across the state, the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), the nodal authority operating key access-controlled highways including the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, Purvanchal Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway and Gorakhpur Link Expressway, moved to put enhanced precautions in place. At least 25 people were killed and 59 were injured in a series of accidents attributed to poor visibility, with the worst incident reported from the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura, where a multi-vehicle pile-up claimed 13 lives. Four people each were killed in Basti and Unnao, while two fatalities were reported each from Meerut and Barabanki, said the officials on Wednesday. According to UPEIDA Nodal Officer Rajesh Pandey, fog-related accidents this season began on Tuesday. Most of the accidents, including those on the Purvanchal and Lucknow-Agra Expressways, were rear-end collisions caused by poor visibility. Pandey said UPEIDA was set to send a proposal to the state government soon to reduce the maximum speed limit on expressways from the current 120 kmph to 80 kmph during the fog period, which generally lasted until February 15. He said special advisories were being issued for two-wheeler riders, allowed on expressways. During fog, we request motorcyclists to halt at toll plazas. We are making arrangements for blankets and basic facilities for them, Pandey, a former IPS officer and SSP Lucknow, said. UPEIDA has also activated public address systems at all toll plazas to make real-time announcements about fog conditions ahead based on inputs from patrol teams, he said. Pamphlets containing safety guidelines, do's and don'ts, and emergency helpline numbers, including 14449, are also being distributed among commuters. Pandey reiterated that parking on expressways is strictly prohibited. Meanwhile, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has also launched a statewide drive to improve visibility and awareness among road users during winter fog. Officials said the speed limit on highways under NHAI is 100 kmph and stressed that besides fog, wrong-side driving and unauthorised entry and exit through highway cuts remain major causes of accidents. Authorities have urged motorists to drive cautiously, maintain safe distances and strictly follow advisories as dense fog conditions are expected to persist across the state in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, CM Yogi ordered the authorities to ensure safe traffic management on expressways during poor visibility. Proper arrangements should be ensured in dense fog. Street and lane lighting should be checked continuously. If any light is faulty, it should be fixed immediately. Officers should inspect to ensure no person is found sleeping in the open, the CM directed the officials at the review meeting. He also asked the local administrations to make proper arrangements for the homeless during the cold wave. The homeless should be taken to rain shelters. Blankets should be continuously distributed to the needy. Bonfires should be arranged at public places. Meanwhile, an intense cold wave is sweeping the state. The conditions are such that dew drops are falling like drizzle in the foggy weather with zero visibility. On Wednesday, 50 districts including Lucknow, Ayodhya, Prayagraj were in the grip of fog. Zero visibility was recorded in many places. Due to fog, more than 30 accidents have occurred in the last four days in the state. During this period, more than 150 vehicles collided.

Krishna Janmabhoomi case: Allahabad HC sets Jan 30 hearing; trust seeks Dhirendra Shastri as witness
LUCKNOW: In a major development, Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Mukti Nirman Trust moved the Allahabad High Court with an application seeking inclusion of Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, Peethadheshwar of Bageshwar dham, as a spiritual witness in this case. In the application, it was claimed that Dhirendra Shastri had good knowledge of religious traditions as well as historical evidences of this case. According to the trust, there is no reference to Eidgah in the records of Mathura Municipal Corporation. Meanwhile, during the hearing of the main Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Eidgah title dispute case on Friday, the Allahabad High Court fixed January 30, 2026, as the next date of hearing. The bench, comprising Justice Avnish Saxena, fixed the next date after hearing counsels for the parties. While taking up the case, the court verified the documents regarding some amendments in the pleadings. At an earlier hearing, the court had observed that since the record was voluminous, the parties to the suit may file objections in all the pending applications, so that the applications could be decided at an early date. It had also directed to rearrange the file strictly in accordance with general rules (Civil) and number the same accordingly. It may be recalled that the Hindu side has filed 18 suits for possession of land after removal of the structure of Shahi Eidgah mosque, as well as for restoration of the temple and for permanent injunction. On August 1, 2024, the High Court had rejected applications of the Muslim side challenging the maintainability of suits by Hindu worshippers and held that all suits of Hindu worshippers were maintainable. In the August 1 order, the court had also held that these suits were not barred by the Limitation Act, Waqf Act, or the Places of Worship Act, 1991, which prohibits conversion of any religious structure as it existed on August 15, 1947. The controversy is related to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb-era Shahi Eidgah mosque in Mathura, which is alleged to have been built after demolishing a temple at the birthplace of Lord Krishna.

Uttar Pradesh govt to withdraw case against Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case accused
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to withdraw the case against Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case accused. The 50-year-old Akhlaq, 50, was lynched by a mob over rumours of alleged cow slaughter and storing its meat at his home in Dadris Bisada village in Greater Noida in 2015. His son, Danish, was thrashed too, but he survived after spending several days in hospital. According to Gautam Buddha Nagar Additional District Government Counsel (ADGC), Bhag Singh Bhati, the withdrawal application, issued by the state government in connection with Mohammad Akhlaq Ahmeds case, was filed before the competent court on October 15. The court is yet to pass order on the application. It has rather fixed December 12 for hearing the matter, said Bhati. Bhati added that it was for the court to decide whether the case would be withdrawn or not. Until then, the trial would continue. So far, the testimony of the first prosecution witness the complainant and the deceaseds daughter, Shaista is underway, Bhati added. He also confirmed that all 15 accused facing trial in the case were currently out on bail. Meanwhile, Defence counsel, BR Sharma, also confirmed that withdrawal application was moved by government counsel in the court. Akhlaq and his son Danish had faced the mobs wrath on September 28, 2015, following an announcement from the village temple that he had slaughtered a cow. Both father and son were dragged out of their house and badly beaten up. Akhlaq, later, died at a Noida hospital, while Danish survived after undergoing major surgery to correct head injury inflicted by mobsters. Police had registered an FIR at Jarcha police station under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (assault), 504 (intentional insult to disturb peace), of IPC. In 2015, 15 persons including Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and his cousin Shivam, were charge-sheeted as the main conspirators who led the mob to Akhlaqs house and assaulted the family. The meat recovered from Akhlaqs house was also sent to a forensic laboratory in Mathura for examination and the report had stated that it belonged to a cow or its progeny. Akhlaqs family, however, had alleged that the samples were switched. In 2016, a Surajpur court had ordered a separate FIR to be filed against Akhlaqs family for alleged cow slaughter.

Armys Northern Command carries out multi-domain, multi-agency warfare exercise
NEW DELHI: The Indian Armys most committed Northern Command carried out a simulation of intense multi-domain, multi-agency exercises using futuristic conflict scenarios. According to a statement by the Army, the exercise challenged commanders, staff and troops with futuristic threats in cyber, space, electromagnetic and cognitive domains. The four-day exercise (13-16 October) named as Vidyut Vidhhwans concluded under the aegis of Headquarters (HQ) Northern Command, with new lessons, improved reflexes and setting of new benchmarks in Indias preparedness for next-generation conflicts. Among the tri-services, while there is a substantial deployment of the Army and Air Force, the Indian Navy also has its complements at select locations. The Army added further that Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), sister services, central government agencies and private sector players participated jointly, underscoring the importance of an integrated and whole of a nation approach to continuously evolving security landscape. Participation by indigenous defence industry players set a new benchmark, achieving Jointness, Atmanirbarta (self-reliance) and Innovation. In addition to the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the CAPFs include the Border Guarding Forces: Border Security Force (BSF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBPF), Shashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), mandated as the lead Internal Security Force. Troops of the Northeast-based Assam Rifles have also been deployed in the Jammu division for the CI/CT Task. The Northern Command handles borders with both China and Pakistan, including sensitive areas such as Kargil, Siachen, and Eastern Ladakh, where tensions with China continue due to the ongoing standoff. The spectrum of threats handled by Northern Command is not multi-domain, including the traditional border-related issues, long-standing counter terrorism/counter insurgency (CI/CT), but also the modern offence and defence spectrum, which includes the cyber, space and others, as mentioned earlier in the report. As brought out earlier by the TNIE , with Pakistan, India shares a total of 3,323 km border which is divided into three parts: the International Border (IB) (approximately 2,400 km from Gujarat to the north banks of Chenab in Akhnoor in Jammu), the Line of Control (LoC), (740 km long and runs from parts of Jammu to parts of Leh) and the Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) (110 km long dividing the Siachen region extending from NJ 9842 to Indira Col in the north.) With China, the length of the border, as per the Ministry of Home is 3488km, which is not fully demarcated. There has been a dense deployment of troops in Eastern Ladakh since May 2020, which started with a standoff situation. Both in Pakistan and China borders we are strong: Army Vice Chief During the exercise, Troops deployed in the forward areas were practised in situations like cyber intrusion, spectrum saturation, electronic jamming, spoofing and cognitive attacks., the Army said. Lt Gen Pratik Sharma, Northern Army Commander, while interacting with the troops, said, In modern warfare, the lines are blurring between domains, so we need to leverage niche technology and keep innovating. A whole of nation approach is required to protect our territorial integrity and critical assets and also unleash punitive action on adversaries if the situation so demands. Before taking charge as the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command, General Pratik Sharma was at New Delhi based Army Headquarters as the Director General Military Operations (DGMO) followed by his elevation to the crucial post of Deputy Chief of Army Staff handling the strategy for the more than a million strong Indian Army, with the operations and intelligence directorates under him. As per the Army, initiated by the thoughtful dialogue during Samvad held at Mathura on October 4, the exercise demonstrated that readiness for future warfare begins with open minds and seamless teamwork. The Northern Command now stands better equipped, united and prepared to defend against emergent threats with strategic foresight and multi-domain synergy, said the Army.

Devotee dies of suspected heart attack at overcrowded Banke Bihari Temple in UP
LUCKNOW : A devotee died at the Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan late on Wednesday evening while leaving the temple after darshan. He suddenly collapsed in the crowd and died on the spot. Family members said the temple was extremely crowded, making it difficult to move. It is suspected that he may have died from suffocation. According to district administration sources, a probe is underway to ascertain the cause of the sudden death. The deceased, who was reportedly an asthma patient, had come from Meerut with his family for the darshan of Banke Bihariji. Kripal (50), son of Sher Saini, along with his younger brother Om Prakash, nephew Titu, and 47 others from Niloha, Mawana, Meerut, visited temples in Vrindavan. In the evening, they reached Thakur Shri Banke Bihari temple for darshan. While in the crowd, Kripal Saini allegedly began feeling unwell. After darshan, near gate number four, he fell unconscious. Temple doctors were called immediately. After examining Kripal Saini, they advised that he be taken to hospital. He was rushed to Mayawati Hospital by ambulance, where he was declared dead upon arrival. Doctors cited a heart attack as the prima facie cause of death. Police reached the scene, but the family refused a post-mortem in writing. Temple CCTV footage shows Kripal Saini suddenly collapsing near the gate while a child was on his shoulder. He is seen putting the child down and then falling unconscious. According to the family members of the deceased, Kripal Saini had been suffering from respiratory illness and had recently experienced increased breathlessness. District Magistrate Chandraprakash Singh stated that the death appeared to be from a heart attack. Relatives took the body away without a post-mortem. Meanwhile, attributing the sudden demise of Kripal Saini to cardiac arrest based on the doctors version and his other medical conditions, SSP Mathura Shlok Kumar denied suffocation of the devotee due to overcrowding in the temple.
