No compromise on devotees' safety: CM Yogi Adityanath directs officials to ensure elaborate Chhath arrangements

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.

171-run Knock Changed Women's Cricket Perception: Harmanpreet Kaur Unveils Wax Statue In Jaipur

Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Indian women's cricket star Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday joined the league of cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Virat Kohli as her wax statue was unveiled at a ceremony held at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) in Jaipur. Organisers noted that the figure, crafted by the Historica Museum, is the world's first wax statue of a female cricketer and will be placed on permanent display at the 'Historica: Step into History' museum at Nahargarh Fort. Reflecting on her career milestones at the event, Harmanpreet said her historic 171-run knock played a pivotal role in transforming public perception around women's cricket in India. She observed that the sport has undergone a remarkable shift, with stadiums increasingly drawing packed crowds and growing numbers of women turning out to cheer for the national side. Drawing a parallel with India's 1983 men's World Cup triumph, she stated that the women's team's World Cup success had similarly reshaped the landscape of the women's game. This is just the beginning. Women's cricket will reach even greater heights in the coming years, she said. Recalling the World Cup victory at Lord's, Harmanpreet described lifting the trophy as one of the most unforgettable moments of her life, emphasising that the triumph was the culmination of the entire squad's collective dream and unity. During the ceremony, young aspiring cricketers from Jaipur welcomed the Indian skipper with a guard of honour using raised bats. Touched by the gesture, Harmanpreet interacted with the youngsters, posed for photographs, and urged them to pursue their sporting ambitions with dedication. Describing the wax figure as a deeply emotional milestone, Harmanpreet noted that seeing her statue displayed alongside cricketing icons she grew up admiring reflected years of perseverance and early career struggles. She also lauded the sculptors and museum team for the detailed measurements, photographs, and video recordings undertaken to create an accurate likeness. Highlighting the need to nurture grassroots talent, Harmanpreet pointed out that India's villages and small towns possess immense sporting potential. Having hailed from a similar background herself, she called for greater encouragement and improved sporting infrastructure for aspiring female athletes in rural areas. She added that coordinated initiatives by state cricket associations and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), alongside an almost year-round cricketing calendar, now offer emerging players a stronger platform to build professional careers.

Pak Spies 'Honeytrap' IAF Officer; Explosive 'One Nude Photo For One Military Secret' Exchange

One war plan. One nude picture. That is the alleged price of access to Indian military secrets. A chargesheet filed in Delhi says an Indian Air Force Wing Commander communicated with a suspected Pakistani intelligence operative on WhatsApp between January and April. Police allege that he shared secret war-plan pages, drone capabilities, deployment locations, aircraft movements and sensitive installation coordinates. They also claim he installed spyware on the devices of five subordinates. Investigators say the digital trail included 3,008 messages, 65 images, 42 voice calls and four video calls. The officer is accused under the Official Secrets Act, but the court is yet to decide whether the allegations are proved. This report explains the alleged bargain, the information involved, the malware angle and earlier honeytrap cases involving Indian defence personnel. The warning is simple: one private chat can become a national-security breach.

Indias 'Buried' 8,571-Crore Bet: Biggest-Ever Strategic Oil Reserve To Survive Next 'Choke'

India is building its largest strategic oil reserve in Odisha. The Chandikhol facility will store four million tonnes of crude and cost an estimated Rs 8,571 crore. The project is being developed as Hormuz disruptions expose Indias dependence on vulnerable maritime routes. India imports more than 88 per cent of its crude oil, making supply shocks a direct economic risk. Its existing strategic reserves at Visakhapatnam, Mangaluru and Padur hold about 5.33 million tonnes, covering roughly 9.5 days of national demand. Chandikhol will expand that emergency buffer by around 80 per cent. The UAE is also storing crude in India, while Saudi Arabia is developing storage in Singapore and using facilities in Japan and South Korea. The message is clear: oil security is now about storage, access and time. This report explains Indias Odisha oil plan and why Hormuz changed New Delhis energy calculations.
