Ganesh Acharya is taking the music promotions of his upcoming film Ganesh: Dust to Stardust to Varanasi, with the filmmaker set to launch the much-awaited song Shivji in the holy city on November 14. Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learnt that the song will be unveiled at the iconic Namo Ghat, located along the banks of the Ganga, in an event planned on a grand scale. The choice of Varanasi for the launch carries particular significance, given the citys deep association with Lord Shiva. The makers are looking to bring together music, devotion and cinema through the event, with Ganesh Acharya and members of the films cast expected to attend. The launch is also expected to draw a large gathering of local residents and devotees, with the ghats and the spiritual atmosphere of Kashi forming the backdrop for the occasion. Adding another dimension to his visit, Ganesh Acharya will attend the revered Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. The ceremony is among Varanasis most recognised spiritual traditions, and the visit will form part of the films promotional activities in the city. By choosing a location closely connected with Mahadev for a song dedicated to Lord Shiva, the makers are giving the launch a devotional setting rather than opting for a conventional promotional event. Ganesh: Dust to Stardust has already attracted attention following the release of its trailer, which received encouraging responses from members of the film fraternity. Several prominent actors, including Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal, Kriti Sanon, Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff, extended their support to Ganesh Acharya and acknowledged his journey. Presented by V2S Production & Entertainment, the film is produced by Soundarya Acharya and written and directed by Ganesh Acharya. The screenplay and dialogues are jointly written by Digangana Suryavanshi and Ganesh Acharya. Junaid Kumar has composed the music and background score, with lyrics by Sameer Anjaan and Ganesh Acharya. Zee Music is associated with the music. The film also features cinematography by Ajay Pandey, editing by Rakesh Ram and production design by Amrish Yamanappa Patange and Daya Vanniyar of Red Ameise. Choreography is handled by Ganesh Acharya and his team. Ganesh: Dust to Stardust is scheduled to arrive in theatres on December 11, 2026.

Chhath rush: Indian Railways rolls out massive preparations as thousands head home
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 11 (IANS) With Chhath Puja approaching, railway stations across the country are witnessing a massive surge in passenger footfall as thousands of people head to their hometowns in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to celebrate the festival with their families. From Delhi and Mumbai to Varanasi, Howrah, Lucknow and other major railway hubs, crowds of passengers can be seen gathering at platforms and station premises, creating an unprecedented rush during the festive travel period. In view of the heavy passenger movement, Indian Railways has stepped up its preparations, introducing a series of measures aimed at ensuring safe, smooth and organised travel. Several arrangements have been made at several stations to manage the festive rush. These include special trains, additional reserved and unreserved services, designated passenger holding areas, enhanced security arrangements, and round-the-clock monitoring. The huge rush is particularly visible at Delhi's Anand Vihar Railway Station and New Delhi Railway Station. Large numbers of passengers are gathering to board trains at these stations to their hometowns ahead of Chhath Puja. Passengers carrying luggage and travelling with their families can be seen waiting for trains. Many of these passengers are opting for general-class tickets. Some passengers acknowledged that the arrangements were satisfactory. However, some pointed to the massive crowds at the station. Passengers expressed satisfaction with the improved infrastructure and crowd-management arrangements at New Delhi Railway Station. One passenger told IANS that the creation of separate areas helped reduce congestion compared with previous years. This is how the station experience is considerably better, he added. The tremendous pressure on railway infrastructure during the festive season has been analysed by the railways. The Northern Railway has announced the operation of 31 special trains from major stations in the Delhi area to facilitate passenger movement on a high-demand travel day. Officials said that additional reserved and unreserved services are also being operated on important routes to accommodate the increased demand. Central Railway has introduced precautionary measures at major stations in Mumbai to prevent overcrowding. Unhindered passenger movement is being ensured. According to Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Swapnil Nila, the sale of platform tickets has been suspended at major stations across its divisions, broadly between November 5 and 15, depending on the location. Moreover, parcel traffic has been suspended for around eight to ten days at key stations, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT). The move is intended to free up space and prevent congestion so that passengers boarding and alighting from trains do not face inconvenience. Special arrangements have been made at Varanasi Junction to deal with the anticipated increase in passenger footfall. The Railways have established a dedicated holding area where passengers can wait in an organised manner before boarding their respective trains. Help desks have also been set up at both entry gates to assist passengers and provide necessary information. Similar arrangements are being implemented across Eastern Railway stations. At Howrah, Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel are continuously monitoring passenger movement through a dedicated control room to ensure effective crowd management. TTEs and RPF staff are working in close coordination to regulate queues, guide passengers towards their designated coaches and facilitate systematic boarding. A specially designated passenger holding area with carpeted flooring has also been created at Howrah Station to provide Chhath-bound passengers with a more comfortable waiting experience. A medical booth has been made available to provide immediate medical assistance to passengers in need. The festive atmosphere is also being reflected at railway stations. At Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction in Chandauli, traditional Chhath songs are being played through loudspeakers, bringing a touch of the festival to the railway premises. Passengers have welcomed the initiative, with many appreciating the festive ambience as they begin their journey home. Holding areas have also been created at stations such as Ballia to ensure that passengers can wait safely without overcrowding platforms. Travellers have expressed gratitude for these facilities, acknowledging the efforts being made by railway authorities to improve passenger convenience. Across the network, the Railways is also relying on AI-enabled CCTV surveillance, additional security personnel and coordinated monitoring to keep a close watch on passenger movement. These measures are intended to identify potential congestion points, regulate crowds and ensure that boarding and alighting take place in a controlled manner. The Railways has also expanded festive connectivity through additional reserved and unreserved special services. Unreserved special trains are being operated between Muzaffarpur and Howrah, as well as Jaynagar and Sealdah, to cater to the large number of passengers travelling towards Bihar, West Bengal and adjoining regions. Special services from Mumbai towards Gorakhpur are also providing relief to passengers travelling home. Travellers aboard the CSMT-Gorakhpur special train have appreciated the seating facilities and arrangements, expressing satisfaction with the efforts of Central Railway. The festive travel arrangements also include additional services towards Patna, including Vande Bharat and other special trains, alongside enhanced crowd-management measures. Passengers have acknowledged the availability of additional trains and improved station facilities, particularly during the busy Chhath travel period. As millions of devotees prepare to return home to observe Chhath Puja, one of the most significant festivals in Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring regions, the challenge before the Railways is not merely to run additional trains but also to manage the enormous crowds gathering at stations. With passengers travelling with families, children and heavy luggage, even routine boarding and alighting operations can become challenging during peak hours, say officials. The creation of holding areas, suspension of platform ticket sales at selected stations, temporary restrictions on parcel traffic, enhanced security deployment, and dedicated passenger assistance facilities are therefore crucial to maintaining order, they add. The Railways has urged passengers to rely on official railway announcements and information rather than rumours or misleading social media reports regarding train services and festive arrangements.

Many people are even having to give up their morning walks for the sake of their health, he said.Ashok Yadav, a resident of Sector-14, said pollution has become a cause for concern even for those who head out for morning walks.Instead of merely issuing directives, the government and the administration should take concrete, on-the-ground measures to control pollution so that people can get relief, he added.In Punjab, the 24-hour AQI reading in Jalandhar and Mandi Gobindgarh was 336, in the 'very poor' category, while Ludhiana (292), Amritsar (257) and Patiala (221) were all in the 'poor' category.

'All mafias are associated with BJP': SP hits back at Nitin Nabin over remarks on Azam Khan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Saturday hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) President Nitin Nabin's remarks on SP leader Azam Khan, who is currently in judicial custody in connection with a money laundering case, saying all mafias and goons are associated with the BJP and are seen alongside Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. This comes after Nabin, during an exclusive interview with IANS, accused the SP leadership of pursuing vote-bank politics by standing with people associated with criminal elements. These are the same people who gave Uttar Pradesh the identity of 'One District, One Mafia'. During the Samajwadi Party government, every district had a strongman, and they used these figures to gain and maintain power, Nabin said, responding to SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav's claims of injustice against Azam Khan. Reacting to Nabin's remarks, SP MLA Sangram Yadav said: All the mafias are associated with the BJP and are seen alongside CM Yogi Adityanath. Can't you see who the mafia from Varanasi is sitting with? Who the mafias from Jaunpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Deoria and Allahabad are associated with? Do you only see PDA members as mafias? Can't you see people from Yogi Adityanath ji's own community as mafias? He questioned the BJP about who is a mafia, and what are the criteria for identifying one. The Allahabad High Court questioned how these people obtained licences. One of them even displayed 500 weapons on Dussehra. Did the Chief Minister not notice it?...It is the BJP which is the party of mafias, goons and corruption, Sangram Yadav remarked while speaking to IANS. Citing the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, SP MLA Jai Kishan Sahu asserted that the people of Uttar Pradesh will respond to all such statements in the 2027 elections by bringing the Samajwadi Party to power. While maintaining that everyone is entitled to their opinion, Sahu told IANS, The people of Uttar Pradesh are watching everything closely. Voters would give a strong reply in the 2027 Assembly elections and elect an Akhilesh Yadav-led government...under both the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments, young people are roaming in search of jobs, while students demanding employment opportunities are being met with police batons. Meanwhile, BJP MP Prakash Pal backed the BJP Chief Nabin over his criticism of the Samajwadi Party. Speaking to IANS, Pal said: There were people like Atiq Ahmed, Mukhtar Ansari, Azam Khan and countless others. There used to be at least one mafia in every district, whose muscle power was used to illegally occupy people's land and properties. Look at their old photographs and records. Judges would refuse to hear cases involving Atiq Ahmed, and he would even hold police personnel hostage. In Mukhtar Ansari's case, a pond was reportedly built inside the jail so he could eat fresh fish, and the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police would visit him in jail to play badminton. That was the kind of influence these mafias enjoyed, he claimed, adding that under CM Adityanath's government such mafias have been completely eliminated.

The Varanasi Municipal Corporation had earlier issued a notice concerning the building's dilapidated condition.

Dont just meet own people, get to the ground: OP Rajbhars advice to Akhilesh Yadav
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 5 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar took a fresh dig at Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday, advising him not to remain confined to his own voter base but rather embrace all sections, including the marginalised, as his popular slogan PDA stands for. Rajbhars swipe came on the back of SP supremos recent visits to Rampur and Varanasi, the MLC constituency where party candidates trounced the two nominees of the ruling BJP decisively. Taking to social media, Rajbhar wrote, You went to Rampur to meet the 'A', visited the homes and shops of your own caste-fellows represented by 'P', and while you were at it, you even took a stroll through the mansion of an MP represented by 'D' - just to make a name for yourself. Taking aim at Yadavs previous tenure as Chief Minister, Rajbhar said, In any case, during your rule, the condition of the real 'D' - the Dalits, remained in pathetic state, even as you focused only on the 'P' and the 'A'. He further stated, By the way, if you ever get the chance, visit the homes of some of these 'real' Dalits in today's 'new' Uttar Pradesh. You will see that they now have permanent houses and toilets; their women are earning an income through self-help groups, and their children are receiving a good education and finding employment - all of which were forcibly snatched away from these very people during your government's time. Offering a piece of advice to Akhilesh, Rajbhar said, Sir, come down to the ground level. Don't just visit your own inner circle; meet the common people. Only then will you realise how much has changed under the current administration compared to your era of misgovernance. Do give it some thought. Notably, the SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has consistently maintained that the 'PDA', which his party is committed to, seeks to uplift the backward classes, Dalits, and minorities and would alleviate the difficulties and sufferings of every segment of society. Broadening the ambit of PDA, he stated that the P also stands for those Brahmins who are troubled or victimised.
