Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday took a swipe at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for his statement that the monsoon session beginning June 27 will be the farewell session of the MahaYuti government. "Shouldn't he (Uddhav Thackeray) be in the House to give a farewell? Or will he say goodbye from a Facebook Live? The people will decide whether to bid a farewell," Shinde said, asserting that those sitting in the government are connected to the people and have done a slew of works for their betterment. The obvious reference was Uddhav Thackeray's regular use of Facebook Live during the Maha Vikas Aghadi government's tenure, instead of coming to the Mantralaya. Shinde, who chaired the state Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, also criticised the opposition for its move to boycott the customary tea meeting convened by him on the eve of the monsoon session. "This is the last session of the present state Assembly. So we thought that the oppo

Maharashtra Government on Tuesday suspended IPS officer Quaiser Khalid for allowing a giant hoarding - whose collapse last month claimed 17 lives – without the approval of the DGP office. The 140x120 ft hoarding in Mumbai's Ghatkopar area collapsed on May 13 during gusty winds and unseasonal rains. A notification issued by the state Home Department on Friday said the IPS officer, as the then Government Railway Police (GRP) commissioner, permitted the erection of the hoarding without obtaining mandatory permission from the office of Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP). Mr Khalid committed administrative lapses and irregularities in sanctioning the hoarding on his own, the notification said. The hoarding size also deviated from the approved norms, it added. The suspension comes amid reports of Mumbai police probing a series of money transactions allegedly linking the company that owned the hoarding, and a business associate of the wife of the IPS officer. “A preliminary

Haryana Government on Sunday took multiple decisions for the benefit of the Other Backward Classes in the state. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced these decisions.

The court also extended the deployment of central forces in the state till June 26, when the matter would be listed for hearing again.

Mr Patnaik, known for his composed demeanour, was making his way through the House after taking the oath as a member of the Assembly when he came face-to-face with Mr Bag, who stood up from his seat.

A day after 15 tourists died in a road accident in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag, officials said there is a need for greater focus on the "hill endorsement" in drivers' licences accompanied by a physical test. Joint Transport Commissioner Sanat Singh said this check was required for all tourist vehicles, including those that are a part of the Char Dham Yatra and the Hemkund Sahib Yatra, to reduce road accidents in the hilly regions. Many tourist vehicles come to Uttarakhand, but due to the greater volume of cars of Char Dham Yatra, checking of other vehicles is ignored, Mr Singh said. "Now we will need to focus on tourism apart from Chardham Yatra. We will now focus on hill endorsement of driving license," the official said. 'Hill endorsement' of a driver's license is necessary for driving on mountainous roads, he said. Earlier the state did not have the facility for physical "hill endorsement" tests. So they were offered online, Mr Si

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge posted his reservations about the relocation of statues of key leaders of the Independence movement as the area of relocation within the parliament complex, Prerna Sthal, was inaugurated today. Pointing out that the dedicated committee for such purposes, which contains MPs from both Houses, has not been reconstituted since 2019, Mr Kharge strongly criticised the decision to relocate the statues. "Such decisions made without any proper discussion and deliberation with relevant stakeholders are against the rules and traditions of our Parliament," read his post on X, formerly Twitter. A political row has been simmering for weeks over the decision to shift the statues of Mahatma Gandhi, BS Ambedkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji. The statues -- moved first during the building of the new parliament -- have been relocated to a new spot towards the back of the parliament complex, which was named Prerna Sthal. The Lok Sabha Secretariat had explained the

The devotees coming to Kashi Vishwanath Temple here in Uttar Pradesh will now get not only physical darshan, they will also get 'virtual' darshan. The temple administration has introduced 11 minutes and 50 seconds of virtual reality Darshan.  This will allow the devotees to avoid standing in a long queue in the scorching heat to get the darshan. The temple administration said that the service is now on a trial basis and will be implemented permanently after getting feedback from the devotees. Speaking about the new initiative, Kashi Vishwanath Temple Chief Executive Officer Vishwa Bhushan Mishra said, "3D virtual reality is a new technique which has been implemented in various temples like Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar and Mata Vaishno Devi temple. The company providing 3D technology in those temples contacted Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust for the same." "Between May 5 to June 4, a total of 363 of our employees and priests watched the movie.

The victim's father narrated the incident to the police and said that the accused had kidnapped her daughter from their house on Thursday night and taken her to a shop. One of the accused sat outside while the rest raped the woman. "When her uncle got up to drink water at night, he noticed that his niece was not in the house. He went outside to look for her and heard her screaming from a shop. When he tried to open the door, the other accused sitting outside, beat him up. After the commotion, the shop's door was opened, and the woman came out crying," he said. After the in

A woman from Bihar has been frantically calling up her son since she heard about the fire that killed 49 people, mostly Indians, in a building in Kuwait. But she has failed to get any information about her son, who was to get married next month. Madina Khatoon said her eldest son Kalu Khan has been living in that building, and was about to return home for the wedding. "I spoke to him over the phone at around 11 pm on Tuesday. He told me he would come to Darbhanga on July 5 as his marriage is scheduled for next month," she told media persons. A resident of the Naina Ghat area in Bihar's Darbhanga district, Ms Khatoon said her son has been in Kuwait for several years. According to villagers, he was working as a skilled labourer in Kuwait. When she found out about the fire in the building where her son lived, she frantically tried to contact him. "But he is not responding to my calls. We have no information about his whereabouts," the inconsolable mother said,

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar has approached the Delhi High Court seeking regular bail in the case of alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal. The bail plea is likely to be listed for hearing before a vacation bench of the high court on June 14. Kumar, who was sent to 14 days judicial custody on May 31, has been accused of assaulting Maliwal on May 13 at the chief minister's official residence. A trial court in Tis Hazari had on June 7 refused to grant him bail, saying he was facing "grave and serious" charges and that there was an apprehension that he could influence witnesses. In his plea before the high court, Kumar said the trial court failed to consider the fact that his further custody was not required as all evidence has been collected by the investigating officer and statements of witnesses have also been recorded. "While passing the bail rejection order, the additional sessions judge failed to consider the fact that

National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah ruled out the possibility of him contesting the Jammu and Kashmir assembly polls but said would lead his party's election campaign. The former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister also said he would not humiliate himself by entering the legislature of a Union Territory (UT). On his defeat in the Lok Sabha election to jailed contestant Sheikh Abdul Rashid alias Engineer Rashid in Baramulla, Mr Abdullah said that in electoral politics, one must be ready for a loss as well. "If you set aside the fact that I lost, I think, on the whole, the NC has a lot to be satisfied for... As far as my seat is concerned, how can I be anything but disappointed? But that is electoral politics for you. If you are not prepared to lose, you should not file your papers. I cannot say the result was on the expected lines. But it is what it is," he said. The NC leader said he will lead his party's campaign for Jammu and Kashmir's assembly electi

Nine Maoists were arrested from different places in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, police said on Sunday. Of them, eight were arrested from separate locations in Usoor police station area, while one was held under Naimed police station limits, the official said. "All arrested cadres were active as militia members of the outlawed Maoist movement and were allegedly involved in incidents of planting IEDs to target security personnel, damaging roads and putting up posters and banners," a statement from the police said.

In the era of deepfakes, photographs placed by a spouse alleging adultery by the other partner would have to be proved by way of evidence before the family court, the Delhi High Court said. The court's observation came while dealing with a man's contention that his estranged wife was living in adultery. The high court dismissed the man's appeal challenging a family court order directing him to pay Rs 75,000 as maintenance to his wife and minor daughter. As the counsel for the husband drew the court's attention to certain photographs of his wife, a bench of justices Rajiv Shakdher and Amit Bansal said, "It is not clear as to whether the respondent/wife is the person in the photographs, as alluded to by the counsel for the appellant/husband." "We may take judicial notice of the fact that we are living in the era of deepfakes and, therefore, this is an aspect that the appellant/husband, perhaps, would have to prove by way of evidence before the family co

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor hailed Rahul Gandhi as "the man of the match" of the Lok Sabha polls and said it would be fitting that he takes on the mantle of the Leader of Opposition in the Lower House. In an interview with news agency PTI after his fourth-straight Lok Sabha poll win, Shashi Tharoor said the message of the mandate was that the electorate has given a "comeuppance" to the BJP's "overweening arrogance" and its "my way or the high way attitude". "It will be a challenge for Mr (Narendra) Modi and Amit Shah who have not been used to consulting very much in running their government and I think this is going to test their ability to change their way of functioning and be more accommodative and more conciliatory within the government and also I hope with the Opposition," he said on the incoming coalition government of the NDA. The former Union minister said this time the NDA government could prove to be a ' m

A 52-year-old man on Thursday climbed down onto the safety net at the Mantralaya here to stage protest over the issue of maintenance and safety of dams in Maharashtra, police said. Deepak Bachche Patil (52), a resident of Pune, descended on the safety net from the second floor but was rescued by security personnel, a police official said. A safety net has been installed inside the seven-storey headquarters of the Maharashtra government in south Mumbai to foil attempts to commit suicide by jumping from upper floors after a couple of such incidents took place in the past. After he was rescued, Mr Patil told police he is an activist working in the field of drought relief, and felt that the issue of maintenance and safety of dams in the state was being neglected, the official said. He had also staged a hunger strike over the issue in the past, Mr Patil told police. He was being questioned further, the official added.  (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV s

Mr Lalwani won by 11.75 lakh votes against his nearest BSP rival, though the second-highest votes were bagged by NOTA.
