Kashmir's Chillai-Kalan brings intense cold, transforming the region into a stunning winter landscape, with temperatures dropping and communities embracing their rich traditions.

Cold conditions intensify in Kashmir valley after brief respite

Experience Chillai-Kalan in Kashmir, as the valley is enveloped in winter’s embrace, with temperatures plunging and nature turning the region into a frozen masterpiece. Despite the cold, rich tradition and communal warmth persist.

Night temperatures in Kashmir fell below freezing, with Srinagar at -1&deg;C, Gulmarg at -9.8&deg;C, and Pahalgam at -8.2&deg;C. The "Chillai-Kalan" phase continues, with light rain or snow expected Saturday and further temperature drops.

Night temperatures dipped to settle below the freezing point across the Kashmir valley as cold conditions intensified after a brief respite, officials said on Wednesday.
 Owing to clear skies, night temperatures dipped below the freezing point across the valley, the Met office said.
 The minimum temperature in Srinagar was recorded at minus 1 degree Celsius, down from the previous night&rsquo;s 0.9 degrees, it said. The city had witnessed bright sunshine in the morning.
Gulmarg, a tourist resort town known for skiing activities in north Kashmir, recorded a low of minus 9.8 degrees Celsius, compared to the previous night&rsquo;s minus 6.6 degrees, and was the coldest recorded place in the valley.
In Pahalgam, one of the base camps for the annual Amarnath Yatra in south Kashmir, the minimum temperature settled at minus 8.2 degrees Celsius against the previous night&rsquo;s minus 7.8 degrees.
 Qazigund, the gateway town to the valley, logged a low of minus 2.4 degrees Celsius while Konibal in Pampore town registered a minimum temperature of minus 1 degree.
Kupwara in north Kashmir recorded a minimum temperature of minus 2.1 degrees Celsius while Kokernag in south Kashmir saw the mercury settle at minus 1.9 degrees.
The Met office has forecast mainly dry weather over the next few days, with the possibility of light rain or snow at isolated places on Saturday.
It also said the minimum temperature was likely to drop further in the valley and forecast an isolated cold wave over the few days ahead.
Kashmir is currently under the grip of &lsquo;Chillai-Kalan&rsquo; &mdash; the harshest period of winter &mdash; that began on December 21. During the 40 days of &lsquo;Chillai-Kalan&rsquo;, the chances of snowfall are the highest and the temperature drops considerably.
 &lsquo;Chillai-Kalan&rsquo; ends on January 30. It is followed by a 20-day &lsquo;Chillai-Khurd (small cold)&rsquo; and a 10-day &lsquo;Chillai-Bachha (baby cold)&rsquo;.

Indian Railways achieves a major milestone in the USBRL project with successful trials in Kashmir, led by Dinesh Chand Deshwal. A step towards connectivity, safety, and regional progress.

Successful speed trial on Katra-Banihal rail link marks key milestone for Kashmir connectivity

The USBRL project achieves a crucial milestone with successful speed trials led by Dinesh Chand Deshwal. Exemplifying engineering excellence, it marks progress towards enhanced connectivity in Kashmir.

A historic high-speed trial run on the Katra-Banihal section of the USBRL project in Jammu and Kashmir was successfully completed. The train reached speeds of 110 km/h on challenging terrain.&nbsp;

A significant milestone in Indian Railways' history was achieved with the successful rising grade speed trial between Katra and Banihal in Jammu and Kashmir, part of the USBRL project, according to a senior official on Wednesday.
Dinesh Chand Deshwal, the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) for the Northern Circle, said the trial run, conducted at speeds of 110 km/h on the 180-degree rising grade, marks a breakthrough for the rail network in this challenging region. This accomplishment offers hope for the early launch of direct train services connecting Kashmir to the rest of the country.
While the trial was successful, Deshwal emphasized that the data collected during the two-day statutory inspection would be thoroughly analyzed before a decision is made by the Centre regarding the launch of regular services.
The trial train departed from Katra station at 10:30 am and reached Banihal in approximately 90 minutes. It then returned to Katra in the afternoon. This trial marks the final test run before a decision on public service.
Deshwal commended the engineering efforts behind the project, calling the trial run a "smooth" success and praising the work done by the team. He added that the infrastructure for the rail link is in excellent condition.
The decision on starting direct rail services will be based on the analysis of the data collected and recommendations from the statutory inspection. The Centre is expected to make an announcement soon.
Earlier, on January 4, an electric train trial was conducted on the Katra-Banihal section, with a total of six trials conducted in the past month, including key tests on the Anji Khad and Chenab bridges.
The 272-km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula Rail Link (USBRL) project, which aims to connect Kashmir by rail, was initiated in 1997 but faced multiple delays due to challenging geography and weather. About 209 km of the route has been commissioned in phases.

Chaos at Kerala festival: Elephant injures 17, triggers stampede

An elephant named Pakkathu Sreekuttan caused panic at Kerala's Puthiyangadi festival in Malappuram, leaving 17 injured, including one critically.

At least 17 people were injured, including one critically, after an elephant went on a rampage during a festival in Kerala's Malappuram district late last night.
The incident occurred at the Puthiyangadi festival in Tirur, which had drawn a large crowd. Visuals from the event show five elephants, decorated with golden plates, as attendees tried to capture the moment on their phones.
Suddenly, one of the elephants, named Pakkathu Sreekuttan, became agitated and charged into the crowd. In a shocking moment, the elephant lifted a man, swung him in the air, and hurled him away.

The injured man, whose condition is critical, is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kotakkal. The panic caused by the elephant&rsquo;s rampage led to a stampede-like situation, resulting in most of the injuries.
Efforts to control the elephant involved several men using chains, and it took nearly two hours to subdue it. The animal was eventually secured near a mast to prevent further chaos. Visuals from the scene captured the fear and chaos as people scrambled to escape to safety.

An investigation into the 2024 Hathras stampede calls for better event safety protocols. The court seeks accountability and aims at preventing future tragedies at large religious gatherings.

Allahabad HC summons Hathras DM and SSP over 2024 stampede tragedy

The 2024 Hathras stampede highlights urgent safety protocol needs at large gatherings. The Allahabad High Court seeks accountability and improvement to prevent future tragedies, affecting millions.

The Allahabad High Court has summoned the former DM and SSP of Hathras to explain why they shouldn't be held accountable for the 2024 stampede that killed 121 people.&nbsp;

The Allahabad High Court has ordered the former District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police of Hathras to personally appear on January 15 to explain why they should not be held accountable for the stampede that claimed 121 lives in 2024.
Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav, during a hearing on January 6, stated that the tragedy resulted from poor arrangements made by event organizers. He emphasized that it is the responsibility of the administration to ensure adequate police presence, medical facilities, and other necessary provisions for large gatherings.
The court also noted that many stampedes occur when large crowds, often composed of people with strong faith and belief, lose control, resulting in tragic outcomes. The incident in Hathras occurred during a "satsang" event organized by followers of Surajpal, also known as Bhole Baba, in Fulrai Mughalgarhi Village on July 2, 2024. Despite organizers estimating a crowd of 80,000, nearly 2.5 lakh people attended, leading to the fatal stampede.
While an FIR was filed following the complaint of sub-inspector Brijesh Pandey, the petitioner&rsquo;s name came up in the investigation. The court called for lessons to be learned from the Hathras incident, urging the district and police administration to ensure proper arrangements for the upcoming Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj to prevent similar incidents.
The next hearing is scheduled for January 15.

The BJP has accused AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj of diverting attention from the ongoing "Sheesh Mahal" corruption allegations.

BJP accuses AAP leaders of diversion tactics amid 

The BJP has accused AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj of diverting attention from the ongoing "Sheesh Mahal" corruption allegations.

The BJP on Wednesday accused the AAP leaders of diverting attention from the "corruption and irregularities" surrounding the "Sheesh Mahal", and enacting drama of a visit to the bungalow while the model code of conduct was implemented for the upcoming Assembly polls.
"Why did AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj not visit the Sheesh Mahal earlier?", questioned Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva after they were stopped by the police from visiting the bungalow in Civil Lines, earlier in the day.
Singh on Sunday challenged the BJP for a visit to "Sheesh Mahal" and the Prime Minister's residence dubbing it "Raj Mahal" along with media persons.
Sachdeva charged, "The AAP leaders are doing drama and trying to divert attention from the Sheesh corruption and irregularities committed in the construction of Sheesh Mahal (6, Flagstaff Road, occupied by Arvind Kejriwal as chief minister). Why did they not think of showing the Sheesh Mahal earlier and now insist on a visit when the administration is bound by a model code of conduct?"
The Delhi BJP president visited AB 17 Mathura Road bungalow allotted to Delhi Chief Minister Atishi. He asked, "Why is Atishi demanding another bungalow when she was allotted this bungalow?"
Atishi on Tuesday alleged that the BJP-led Centre evicted her from the chief minister's bungalow by cancelling allotment.
According to the department, Atishi failed to take possession of the property within the mandated time frame.
"The allottee had failed to take physical possession/occupation of the bungalow at 6, Flag Staff Road, despite multiple requests/correspondences and even after issuance of 'Habitability Certificate' for the bungalow, certifying that the bungalow was fit for immediate occupation and fully habitable. However, in this case, possession was not taken even after three months," the PWD letter stated.
The PWD has, meanwhile, offered two other bungalows to the chief minister.
Sachdeva said, "Atishi should tell the people why did not she take possession of the Flagstaff Road bungalow within three months, and now claiming that her allotment was cancelled".
He also alleged that Atishi herself did not live at AB 17 Mathura Road bungalow and asked her to clarify who lived there.
"It is the same bungalow where Sheila Dikshit lived as Delhi's chief minister from 1998 to 2004. Why can Atishi not live in it?" he questioned.
Sachdeva alleged that the AAP leaders were indulging in "petty politics" by raising questions over the PM's residence, to divert attention from the notoriety gained by the "Sheesh Mahal".

Mayawati appeals to the government to prioritize public welfare over politics amid economic challenges like rupee downturn and GDP slowdown, highlighting the impact on vulnerable communities.

 Mayawati urges govt to prioritize public welfare amid economic concerns

Mayawati calls for a shift from political ambition to public welfare, addressing economic issues like rupee depreciation and GDP decline, emphasizing the impact on marginalized communities.

BSP chief Mayawati urged the government to focus on public welfare over politics, as India&rsquo;s GDP growth forecast dropped to 6.4% for 2024-25, the lowest in four years, and the rupee hit a record low of 85.83 against the US dollar, worrying citizens.

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati on Wednesday called on the central government to focus on national and public welfare over political interests, following the downward revision of India's GDP growth estimate for the current fiscal.
Her appeal came as the Indian rupee hit a record low of 85.83 against the US dollar, and the GDP growth forecast for 2024-25 was revised to 6.4%, the lowest in four years. Addressing the situation on social media, Mayawati noted the hardship faced by the poor, who are deeply concerned about the nation&rsquo;s economic health despite having no direct link to the rupee's depreciation.
"The GDP growth rate falling to 6.4% has been widely reported. The poor and hardworking citizens, who endure tough lives, are distressed by this news," she said in a post on X. She urged the government to respect public sentiment and shift focus from "narrow politics" to fulfilling promises of better days or 'Achhe Din.'
The GDP growth revision is attributed to the underperformance of the manufacturing and services sectors. This marks the slowest growth since the pandemic-struck year of 2020-21, when the GDP contracted by 5.8%, significantly below the 8.2% growth in FY 2023-24.
Mayawati's BSP, which has faced electoral setbacks in Uttar Pradesh, remains independent, not aligning with either the BJP-led NDA or the opposition INDIA bloc.

Elon Musk supports Priyanka Chaturvedi in critiquing UK's PM Starmer for using 'Asian grooming gangs'; stresses precise terminology for ethnic communities.

 Elon Musk Backs Priyanka Chaturvedi's Stand on 'Pakistani Grooming Gangs' Controversy

Elon Musk endorses Priyanka Chaturvedi's stance on UK's PM Starmer's 'Asian grooming gangs' remark, emphasizing accuracy in ethnic terminology.

Elon Musk supported Priyanka Chaturvedi's stance on calling grooming gangs "Pakistani" rather than "Asian." The debate follows UK PM Starmer's controversial remarks on child abuse cases involving gangs of Pakistani origin.

Billionaire Elon Musk has voiced his support for Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, backing her remarks on the controversial comment made by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the child sexual abuse scandal in the UK.
In a post on social media platform X, Chaturvedi criticized the use of the generic term &ldquo;Asian&rdquo; to refer to the men involved in grooming gangs. The abuse, largely centered around the exploitation of mostly white British girls by men of Pakistani descent, has sparked debate across the UK. Chaturvedi clarified, "These aren't 'Asian' grooming gangs, but Pakistani grooming gangs," and questioned, "Why should Asians take the fall for one absolute rogue nation?" Musk, known for his outspokenness, quickly responded to her post with a simple but supportive "True."&nbsp;
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/677f5bc61f6f2_1736399814.png" width="310" height="153">
The controversy stemmed from Starmer's remarks earlier this week, where he defended his past actions as head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and referred to the perpetrators of the abuse as "Asian grooming gangs." His use of the broad term angered many, including Chaturvedi and several Indian diaspora groups in the UK, who argued that it unfairly stigmatized the broader Asian community and overlooked the specific ethnic background of the perpetrators. These groups have long called for more accurate reporting, emphasizing the need to specifically identify the Pakistani origin of the offenders.
Starmer&rsquo;s comments came amid growing pressure from the Conservative opposition for a fresh national inquiry into the issue. This debate has gained significant traction, especially after Musk, who has frequently voiced his opinions on political matters, criticized the UK Prime Minister's handling of the situation on his platform.
While the UK Prime Minister has rejected calls for a new inquiry, emphasizing the need to act on the findings of a seven-year investigation, the issue remains divisive. The use of "Asian" in this context has become a flashpoint, with calls for clarity and accountability from both political figures and advocacy groups.
Musk&rsquo;s endorsement of Chaturvedi&rsquo;s post adds fuel to the ongoing discourse, drawing attention to the sensitive nature of the language used in addressing such a serious and long-standing issue.
