Description: 7 more die at Nanded hospital, death count 31 in 48 hours

The direction would apply across metro stations, hospitals, public parks and other public spaces. The Public Works Department (PWD), which manages 1,250 km of roads in the city will begin updating signages accordingly.

Delhi to Promote Linguistic Diversity with Multilingual Road Signages and Bureaucratic Nameplates

The direction would apply across metro stations, hospitals, public parks and other public spaces. The Public Works Department (PWD), which manages 1,250 km of roads in the city will begin updating signages accordingly.

Delhi&rsquo;s road signages, and directional boards, including those at metro stations, will soon display information in Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu a move aimed at promoting linguistic diversity and representing the city&rsquo;s official languages.
Bureaucrats working with the Delhi government will also be required to display their names in the four languages on boards outside their offices.
The move aligns with &ldquo;The Delhi Official Languages Act, 2000&rdquo;, which recognises Hindi as the first official language and Urdu and Punjabi as second official languages. Currently most signboards and nameplates in Delhi display information only in Hindi and English.
In a written communication dated November 4, the Department of Arts, Culture and Language directed all departments, civic bodies and autonomous authorities to ensure compliance with the Act, following instructions from Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena The communication specifies that the sequence of languages on boards and signages should be Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu, with uniform font sizes for all.
A senior government official told PTI that the direction would apply across metro stations, hospitals, public parks and other public spaces. The Public Works Department (PWD), which manages 1,250 km of roads in the city will begin updating signages accordingly.
&ldquo;All government departments/offices/autonomous bodies/local bodies are directed to ensure the implementation of &ldquo;The Delhi Official Languages Act 2000&Prime; and the aforementioned order/sequence of the State Languages including English in the same size of font to write, print, paint, inscribe or emboss the information on boards, Sign-boards, Name-plates and Directional signs in language/s other than Hindi, recognised for use for official purposes in NCT of Delhi,&rdquo; the department&rsquo;s official statement said.
The LG&rsquo;s directive also aligns with a 2011 order from the Union Home Ministry&rsquo;s Department of Official Language, which mandated states in Region A, including Delhi, Bihar and Haryana, to prioritise Hindi on public signages while deciding the order of other languages locally.
Hindi holds the top spot due to its official status and widespread usage followed by English, the associate official language of India given its prominence in administrative and communicative functions.
Punjabi is included to honour the city&rsquo;s significant Punjabi-speaking population, while Urdu because of its cultural and historical relevance.
According to the 2023 Delhi Statistical Handbook, Punjabi is spoken by around 8.73 lakh people, while Urdu is spoken by nearly 8.67 lakh people.
Shehpar Rasool, Chairperson of Delhi Urdu Academy welcomed the move, saying that he is happy to hear the news of the official implementation of &lsquo;The Delhi Official Language Act 2000&rsquo;.
&ldquo;These languages are a representation of our rich multicultural history, which is aptly communicated in an Urdu phrase &ldquo;Ganga-Jamni Tehzeeb&rdquo;. I welcome all the decisions and policies that encourage linguistic and cultural diversity,&rdquo; Rashool told PTI.

Dressed in blue, a colour associated with B R Ambedkar, INDIA bloc MPs, including the Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, staged a protest in the Parliament premises demanding Amit Shah's resignation for his remarks related to the chief architect of the Constitution.
BJP-led NDA parliamentarians also carried out a march within Parliament premises, raising slogans and carrying placards demanding an apology from the opposition Congress for allegedly insulting Ambedkar.
As the INDIA bloc parliamentarians came face to face with the ruling coalition MPs in front of the Makar Dar of Parliament, the two sides engaged in loud sloganeering in a bid to outdo each other.
The INDIA bloc members first staged a protest at B R Ambedkar's statue in Parliament premises, carrying posters that read 'Main Bhi Ambedkar', 'Jai Bhim' and 'Amit Shah maafi maango'.
They then took out a protest march on the Parliament premises. MPs of the Congress, DMK, RJD, SP, the Left and NCP(SP), among others, participated in the protest. Several opposition MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and K Kanimozhi, were seen wearing blue.
Earlier, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha chaired a meeting of the Congress' Lok Sabha MPs in the main committee room.
The opposition on Wednesday seized on Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on B R Ambedkar to corner the government and demanded his resignation for what they called was an insult to the architect of the Constitution.
The attack from virtually all opposition parties, including the Congress, TMC, DMK, RJD, Left parties and Shiv Sena-UBT, led to the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament and prompted the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to come out in stout defence of Shah.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Derek O'Brien has also submitted a notice to move a privilege motion against Shah in the Rajya Sabha where the home minister had said on Tuesday evening that Congress leaders would have got a place in heaven had they chanted the name of God rather than following the fashion of repeating Ambedkar's name.
The hullabaloo in Parliament also spilled onto the streets of the national capital and places as far as Maharashtra, Bihar and Tamil Nadu. In Delhi, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal led hundreds of supporters to gather outside the BJP office and protest noisily amid slogans "Amit Shah maafi mango, Amit Shah sharm karo".
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee, DMK chief M K Stalin, Shiv Sena-UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav were among those who have slammed Shah for his remarks.

The Farishtey Scheme, launched by the Punjab government to provide immediate, hassle-free treatment to road accident victims, has proven to be a boon in saving precious lives.

Punjab: Over 200 accident victims treated under Farishtey scheme

Under the Farishtey Scheme, 494 hospitals, including 90 tertiary care hospitals, have been specifically empaneled to cover a 30 km stretch along national and state highways/roads.

The Farishtey Scheme, launched by the Punjab government to provide immediate, hassle-free treatment to road accident victims, has proven to be a boon in saving precious lives.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), approximately 1,400 road accidents and 400 deaths occur every day in India, with Punjab alone accounting for around 5,000 accidental deaths annually. The Farishtey Scheme aims to address this critical issue by providing comprehensive treatment to accident victims, without any capping on the amount.
The state flagship scheme, aimed at reducing the mortality and morbidity rates resulting from injuries sustained in roadside accidents and to provide immediate, hassle-free treatment in government and empaneled private hospitals, was notified on January 25, 2024. The scheme is applicable to all the victims and sufferers of road accidents that happened in the territory of the state of Punjab irrespective of the caste, creed, nationality and place of birth of the victims and provides comprehensive treatment to accident victims, without any capping on the amount.
Divulging details, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) State Health Agency (SHA) Punjab Ms Babita said that to encourage common people to come forth and help accident victims and save the lives of the victims, such &ldquo;Farishteys&rdquo; are being felicitated with cash rewards, commendation certificates and provided immunity from legal complications and police inquiries. &ldquo;Any person who voluntarily rescue the accident victims and help them in saving their lives, will be considered as &lsquo;Farishta&rsquo; and conferred with commendation certificate and a cash prize of Rs 2000,&rdquo; she said.
The CEO said that since its launch, the scheme has provided free medical treatment to as many as 223 accident victims, showcasing its effectiveness in reducing mortality rates resulting from road accidents. So far, 66 "Farishtas" (good Samaritans) have been registered with the State Health Agency (SHA) Punjab, she added.
She said that the Chief Minister of Punjab has recognised the selfless efforts of 16 Farishtas, by awarding them a cash incentive of Rs 2000 per victim on August 15, 2024, and a commendation certificates, with their awards aptly named the "Farishey Award". The remaining Farishtas have also been recognised, receiving their awards from the Deputy Commissioners in their respective districts, she added.
Under the Farishtey Scheme, 494 hospitals, including 90 tertiary care hospitals, have been specifically empaneled to cover a 30 km stretch along national and state highways/roads, ensuring treatment during the critical golden hour.
Ms Babita said that these hospitals are integrated with the Mapple application (a mobile app), a mobile app that helps the people to search and navigate to the nearby empaneled hospital.
The scheme is also linked to emergency helplines, including 108, 1033, and 112 Sadak Surakhiya Force (SSF), which use IT systems to locate the nearest hospital for quick transportation, with hospitals within a 30 km radius providing immediate care within the golden hour, she said, while adding that the 108-ambulance staff have been trained to manage and transport accident victims to the nearest hospitals.
The CEO said that if an empaneled hospital demands payment, beneficiaries can file a complaint with the SHA Punjab or register their grievance at 104 Medical helplines.

Kejriwal urges NDA allies to rethink BJP support over Ambedkar remark

Arvind Kejriwal said people feel that those who love Ambedkar can not support the BJP that "insulted" the architect of India's Constitution.

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday wrote letters to Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu, leaders of NDA partners JDU and TDP, urging them to deeply reflect on Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remark on B R Ambedkar.
Sharing the letters in X, Kejriwal said people feel that those who love Ambedkar can not support the BJP that "insulted" the architect of India's Constitution, and asked Kumar and Naidu to ponder over it.
Shah's remark on Babasaheb was not only "disrespectful" but also revealed the BJP's perspective towards him and the Constitution, the AAP leader said in the letters to the two chief ministers.

"How can the BJP dare to make such a comment against Babasaheb, the Constitution's architect and champion of marginalised rights? This has hurt the sentiments of millions of people across the country," Kejriwal said.
"Babasaheb is not just a leader but the soul of our nation. After this statement by BJP, people expect you to deeply reflect on this issue as well," the former Delhi chief minister implored Kumar and Naidu.

Andhra High Court upholds lesbian couple’s right to live together, parents told not to ‘interfere’

The Court on Tuesday directed the parents not to interfere with the relationship of the couple, asserting that their daughter is major and can make her own decisions.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court has upheld the right of a lesbian couple to live together, affirming their freedom to choose partners.
A bench comprising Justices R Raghunandan Rao and K Maheswara Rao was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Kavitha (name changed), one of the women, alleging that her partner Lalitha (name changed) was detained by her father against her will and kept her at his residence in Narsipatnam.
The Court on Tuesday further directed the parents of Lalitha not to interfere with the relationship of the couple, asserting that their daughter is a major and can make her own decisions.
The couple has been &ldquo;living together&rdquo; for the past year in Vijayawada.
Based on a missing complaint by Kavitha earlier, police traced Laitha at her father&rsquo;s home, and rescued her. After that, she was kept at a welfare home for 15 days though she pleaded to the police that she was a major and wanted to live with her partner.
Lalitha also lodged a complaint against her father in September alleging that her parents are harassing her over the relationship and other issues.
After the police intervention, Lalitha came back to Vijayawada and started going to work, often meeting her partner.
However, Lalitha&rsquo;s father once again came to her place and took the daughter away forcibly in a vehicle. He kept her in his custody &ldquo;unlawfully&rdquo;, Kavitha alleged in her habeas corpus petition.
The father also lodged a complaint with police alleging that his daughter was abducted by Kavitha and her family members.
Jada Sravan Kumar, counsel for Kavitha, pointing out earlier Supreme Court judgments, argued that the detenue has expressed her unequivocal consent to cohabit with the petitioner in a shared household of the petitioner&rsquo;s parents and would never want to get back to her parents and other family members.
Kumar also informed the court that Lalitha had also expressed her desire to withdraw the complaint she lodged against her parents if she&rsquo;d be allowed to live with the petitioner.
The Vijayawada police on Tuesday produced Lalitha before the High Court following the court&rsquo;s direction.
The Bench while disposing of the petition, also made an observation that no criminal proceedings be initiated against the family members of Lalitha as she was willing to withdraw the complaint.

FIR against Samajwadi Party’s Sambhal MP for power theft

The parliamentarian was booked under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003, (theft of power or unauthorised use of electricity).

The Samajwadi Party&rsquo;s Sambhal MP Ziaur Rehman Barq was booked by the Uttar Pradesh Police on Thursday for alleged theft of electricity at his residence in the Deepa Sarai neighbourhood here.
The parliamentarian was booked under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003, (theft of power or unauthorised use of electricity).
&ldquo;On checking the meter of the consumer received from the electrical testing laboratory, it is clear that electricity theft has been done by bypassing the meter and using electricity illegally,&rdquo; stated the FIR lodged on a complaint by a power department official.
The department inspected the Sambhal MP&rsquo;s residence on Thursday morning amid heavy security.
Barq is among those booked by the police in connection with the November 24 violence that led to the death of four locals in a clash with security personnel during a court-ordered survey of the Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid in the city&rsquo;s Kot Garvi area.
He has filed a writ petition in the Allahabad High Court, seeking a stay on his arrest and has also sought the quashing of the FIR registered against him. The MP was accused of instigating people on November 24 and police alleged that his provocative speech was the reason behind the violence during the survey.
In the writ petition, the MP has pleaded innocence, saying he was wrongly implicated in the matter. According to his counsel, he was not present at the place of the incident, yet he was named as accused in the FIR.

A day after a ferry-Navy craft collision claimed 13 lives off the Mumbai coast, authorities on Thursday made life jackets mandatory for all people taking boat rides from the Gateway of India.

Mumbai boat tragedy: Life jackets now mandatory

13 persons, including a Navy personnel and two contractual naval employees, were killed and nearly 100 rescued after the Navy craft carrying out engine trials dashed against the passenger ferry.

A day after a ferry-Navy craft collision claimed 13 lives off the Mumbai coast, authorities on Thursday made life jackets mandatory for all people taking boat rides from the Gateway of India.
Some tourists, however, said the life jackets would be of help only if people know how to use them. The authorities should instruct people how to use the life jackets in case of an emergency, they said.
Some survivors of the tragedy on Wednesday claimed the ferry did not have enough life jackets.
Thirteen persons, including a Navy personnel and two contractual naval employees, were killed and nearly 100 rescued after the Navy craft carrying out engine trials dashed against the passenger ferry 'Neel Kamal' on Wednesday afternoon.
The ferry was carrying more than 100 passengers from the Gateway of India to the Elephanta Island.
Devidas Jadhav, an assistant boat inspector deputed at the Gateway of India, told PTI that they have made the use of life jackets mandatory for every passenger taking ferry boat to Mandva near Alibaug (in neighbouring Raigad), Elephanta Island or while going for a short ride of the Mumbai harbour.
Sangeeta Dalvi, who was travelling to Mandva with her husband for some work, said passengers must use life jackets as they can save lives in case of an emergency.
She also said there was no need for the people to be scared after Wednesday's accident.
"Such tragedies do not happen everyday. We do not avoid travelling by roads though everyday several accidents occur on roads," Dalvi added.
Suyesh Sharma, a tourist from Chhattisgarh who came to the Gateway of India to take a boat ride as he had time before his return by an evening flight, said life jackets does not prove much helpful in the high sea unless people know how to use them.
"Life jackets could prove helpful only when you know how to use them. Authorities should also tell people how to use them in case of emergency," said Sharma, who often takes up adventure sports like river rafting.
Boat owners from Bhaucha Dhakka (a wharf near the Dockyard Road here) said they insist that people wear life jackets, but passengers are reluctant many a times though they could prove life-saving in case of an emergency.
Ferry boats operate from Bhaucha Dhakka to trans-harbour locations like Uran and Revas in neighbouring Raigad district.
Boat owner Sameer Bamane said some passengers are reluctant to wear life jackets, citing the reason that they feel uncomfortable due to excessive heat and sweat during humid conditions.
"Tourists here do not want to wear the life jacket, but the same people use it without any complaint when they go to other countries like Singapore or Malaysia. It is because the authorities there do not allow a boat to move if even one person is without a life jacket," he said.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid tributes at the memorial of RSS founder Dr K B Hedgewar on Thursday and said no one can ignore the Sangh's contribution to nation-building.

Eknath Shinde praises RSS contribution to nation-building

The RSS teaching seeks to unite and not divide, the Eknath Shinde said. One gets inspired and energised after visiting Hedgewar's memorial, he added.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid tributes at the memorial of RSS founder Dr K B Hedgewar on Thursday and said no one can ignore the Sangh's contribution to nation-building.
The ideologies of the Sangh Parivar and Shiv Sena are same, Shinde told reporters after visiting the Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir at Reshimbagh in Nagpur, where Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other leaders of the ruling allies BJP and Shiv Sena also paid respects.
NCP leader and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, who outfit is also a constituent of the ruling Mahayuti, was not present, while two of his party legislators visited the memorial.
The winter session of the state legislature is currently underway in Nagpur.
As an organisation, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) works selflessly, Shinde said.
The Shiv Sena head further said that he earlier also visited Hedgewar's memorial and had a relation with the Sangh Parivar since childhood.
"I started with a Sangh shakha and then with a Shiv Sena shakha, Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology and Anand Dighe sahab's teachings. The ideologies of the Sangh Parivar and Shiv Sena are same. How to work without expecting anything should be learnt from the Sangh Parivar," he said.
Shinde said one cannot ignore the contribution of the RSS to nation-building.
The RSS teaching seeks to unite and not divide, the deputy CM said. One gets inspired and energised after visiting Hedgewar's memorial, he added.
State assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar, council's deputy chairperson Neelam Gorhe and various other legislators of the ruling parties also paid homage at the memorials of Dr Hedgewar and M S Golwalkar, the second Sarsanghchalak of the RSS.
They also met with the Sangh office-bearers who gave them a brief introduction of the RSS.
