A fire, suspected to be from a short circuit, erupted in the waiting area of Asha Jyoti Kendra at Lok Bandhu Hospital early Friday. Flames spread through the false ceiling, causing smoke and breathing issues for staff. Hospital employees quickly extinguished the blaze. This incident follows a major fire last year, despite ongoing fire safety upgrades.

The FIR was lodged by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust member Krishna Mohan at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station under Sections 306 (theft by clerk or servant), 316 (criminal breach of trust), 317 (cheating) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), police sources said. According to the complaint, the accused allegedly embezzled donations offered by devotees at the Ram Temple and misappropriated trust funds through a criminal conspiracy.

Mathura, Lord Krishna's birthplace, has transformed significantly under the Yogi government, becoming a major religious tourism hub. Improved infrastructure, including roads and railways, has boosted visitor numbers, driving growth in hospitality, services, and MSMEs. This economic surge, fueled by millions of pilgrims, has revitalized the district, making its temple economy a key growth engine for Uttar Pradesh.

A shocking incident unfolded in Lucknow where a 28-year-old man allegedly attacked his mother with an axe following a heated argument over her alleged relationship. The woman sustained critical head injuries and is undergoing treatment. The son, who reportedly returned from Ahmedabad after learning about the situation, is now in judicial custody. Police have registered an attempt to murder case and are continuing their investigation into the brutal assault.

Uttar Pradesh is witnessing an impressive transformation in its power sector, moving from deficit to surplus status. The state has achieved a peak supply of 32,000 MW, greatly surpassing demand. Key to this achievement are initiatives like extensive rural electrification, smart metering, and a strong emphasis on renewable energy, especially solar power, making UP a national frontrunner in clean energy advancements.

The BJP has unveiled its new Uttar Pradesh unit office-bearers, signaling a strategic move ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Key positions including Vice Presidents, General Secretaries, Secretaries, and Regional Presidents have been filled. This reshuffle aims to bolster the party's organizational strength and campaign readiness across the state, with a focus on key leadership roles and morcha presidents.
