Description: In Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur, a driver mowed down a lawyer to death. The driver then fled from the crime scene.

BJP leader Rajneesh Singh, in his letter to the chief minister on December 10, said that since the apex court's verdict, "no substantial endeavour has been undertaken by the Muslim community to construct the mosque".

BJP Leader Urges CM Yogi to Reclaim Ayodhya Mosque Land Citing Non-Compliance

BJP leader Rajneesh Singh, in his letter to the chief minister on December 10, said that since the apex court's verdict, "no substantial endeavour has been undertaken by the Muslim community to construct the mosque".

A BJP leader from Ayodhya has written to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, asking him to reclaim the land allotted for the construction of a mosque here and claiming that no substantial endeavour has been undertaken to build it.
On November 9, 2019, settling a fractious issue that went back more than a century, a five-judge bench headed by the then CJI Ranjan Gogoi paved the way for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, at the site where the 16th century Babri Masjid once stood. It also ruled that an alternative five-acre plot would be found for a mosque in the holy town.

The Sunni Central Waqf Board later formed the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation to build a new mosque on the land allotted by the state government in the Dhannipur area of the district.
BJP leader Rajneesh Singh, in his letter to the chief minister on December 10, said that since the apex court's verdict, "no substantial endeavour has been undertaken by the Muslim community to construct the mosque".
Their "intention was never to establish a mosque there but to perpetuate the discord under the pretext of a mosque", he alleged.
"In compliance with the Supreme Court's order, the land allocated to Sunni Central Waqf Board in Ayodhya is being used by the mosque's responsible persons for other purposes. The Muslim community's intention was never to construct the mosque but rather to keep the disturbance and disorder alive under the guise of a mosque. However, this has not been possible due to your leadership," Singh said in the letter to Adityanath.
Asserting that "a mosque is not necessary for offering prayers anyway," he appealed to the chief minister to "issue strict instructions to the officials of the Ayodhya mosque trust to use the land in compliance with the Supreme Court orders".
In case of being unable to do so, issue directives to return the land to the government to prevent its misuse, Singh said.
In a conversation with PTI, he said, "The Muslim community merely wishes to preserve Babar's legacy through this mosque and aims to manipulate Hindu sentiments in the name of Babri Masjid."
When PTI contacted Athar Husain, the secretary of the Ayodhya Masjid Trust, for his reaction to the issue, he refused to comment.
In 2022, Singh petitioned the Allahabad High Court, claiming that the Taj Mahal mausoleum is an ancient temple dedicated to the deity Lord Shiva and is known as the "Tejo Mahalaya".

The Bhasma Shankar Temple is drawing a surge of devotees, many of whom are arriving to offer prayers now that the temple has been reopened.

Three damaged idols, including one of Lord Ganesh, were recovered from a well near the newly reopened Shiv-Hanuman Temple in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, on Monday. The temple, which had been sealed since the 1978 riots, was reopened on December 14 after 46 years. The idols were found during excavation work in a well linked to the temple, located in the Khaggu Sarai area.

According to Shrish Chandra, Sambhal&rsquo;s Additional Superintendent of Police, the idols, believed to also include one of Lord Kartikeya, were discovered while digging through debris and soil. "These are broken idols that were found during the digging of the well. There is an idol of Lord Ganesh. The other one seems to be of Lord Kartikeya, more details are being sought.

The discovery occurred amidst restoration efforts for the Shri Kartik Mahadev Temple, also known as the Bhasma Shankar Temple, which had remained closed since 1978. The well and temple were unearthed during an anti-encroachment drive that had uncovered the long-forgotten structure. Local officials have said that other idols, including those of Lakshmi and Parvati, were also found in the well.
Security and Restoration Plans
In light of the discovery, the district administration has secured the temple area with CCTV cameras and a permanent police presence. The authorities are also working on restoring the temple to its original form. Sambhal Sub-Divisional Magistrate Vandana Mishra confirmed that more details are being gathered regarding the idols, while security has been heightened to ensure smooth excavation.
The Bhasma Shankar Temple is drawing a surge of devotees, many of whom are arriving to offer prayers now that the temple has been reopened. Security measures have been ramped up, including a round-the-clock police presence and the installation of cameras to monitor the area.
Carbon Dating and Historical Significance
The Sambhal district administration has reached out to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct carbon dating of the idols and the temple site, which may provide further insights into the historical significance of the area. Carbon dating will help determine the age of the ancient artefacts and the structure, shedding light on the temple&rsquo;s long-standing cultural heritage.
The discovery of the temple and its religious artefacts has become a topic of significant interest, with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasizing the temple's importance as a symbol of enduring heritage. "This temple represents our enduring heritage and the truth of our history," Adityanath said, reflecting on the temple's historical and cultural significance.
Temple's Role in the Community
The Shiv-Hanuman Temple, part of the larger Shri Kartik Mahadev complex, is set to become a vital place of worship for the community. Local officials and residents are working together to remove encroachments around the temple, with efforts underway to restore its former glory.
This significant archaeological find comes at a time of heightened tensions in the area following recent communal unrest. With heightened security and active restoration efforts, the reopened temple is set to become a beacon of both spiritual and historical importance for the people of Sambhal.

3 dead, 33 injured as Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express derails in UP

The loco pilot heard the sound of a blast before the derailment, an official told reporters. The railway's technical team will investigate the cause of the accident.

Three passengers were killed and 33 injured when eight coaches of the Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express derailed near Gonda in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, an official said.
Ambulances and medical teams were rushed to the spot between Motiganj and Jhilahi railway stations, about 150 km from the state capital, as news of the derailment came in.
The loco pilot heard the "sound of a blast" before the derailment, an official told reporters. But he did not elaborate.
The dead were identified as Saroj Kumar Singh (31), a resident of Araria in Bihar, Rahul (38) from Chandigarh and one unidentified person, a list released by the Relief Commissioner's office later in the night said.
Bad weather affected the rescue operation for a while, but police and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) completed the task.
Even before the relief teams arrived, passengers in the Assam-bound train had begun pouring out of the toppled coaches.
Some of them went back again to pull out their luggage. They then sat near the tracks, waiting as rescuers arrived.
"For a moment the coach was filled with dust and it was all dark. I don't remember what happened in the next few seconds. I only remember the cries and that a passenger pulled my hand, and helped me get out of the window," Sandeep Kumar recalled.
Dileep Singh, who was travelling up to Chhapra in Bihar, had climbed on to an upper berth for an afternoon nap when the accident took place at about 2.35 pm. He was thrown on to the berth on the opposite side.
A 40-member medical team and 15 ambulances reached the spot and more medical teams and ambulances were being sent, Relief Commissioner Kumar said during the initial stage of the relief operation.
"Train number 15904 Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express that left Wednesday night from Chandigarh derailed near Gonda Junction station between Motiganj and Jhilahi railway stations at around 2.37 pm on Thursday under the jurisdiction of North Eastern Railway (NER)," Sabyasachi De, a spokesperson said.
Union minister and local MP Kirti Vardhan Singh visited the accident spot.
"Since this train was going to Dibrugarh from Chandigarh, a special train has left from Gorakhpur to carry the passengers to their destination. The train will stop at Mankapur railway station, and buses have been arranged to take passengers to the railway station," Singh told PTI.
He said the railway's technical team will investigate the cause of the accident.
The Railway Ministry said a high level inquiry has been ordered, apart from the probe by the Commission of Railway Safety.
The ministry said an enhanced ex-gratia amount of Rs 10 lakh will be given to the relatives of those killed. The grievously injured passengers will get Rs 2.5 lakh and those with minor injuries Rs 50,000.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed the local administration to ensure proper medical treatment for the injured.
The authorities released several helpline numbers, including 8957400965 (Gonda) and 8957409292 (Lucknow) and 9957555960 (Dibrugarh).&nbsp;

In Uttar Pradesh, a man was bitten by snake seven times in 40 days. Chief Medical Officer called it a strange case and is investigating it. 

UP: Man bitten by snake 7 times in 40 days says he won't survive the ninth attack

In Uttar Pradesh, a man was bitten by snake seven times in 40 days. Chief Medical Officer called it a strange case and is investigating it.&nbsp;

In just a span of 40 days, a 24-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur was allegedly bitten by a snake for the seventh time. The man is identified as Vikas Dubey and he is allegedly being bitten by snake on Saturdays.
Dubey's mother said that her son claims that the snake will bite Dubey nine times. Dubey further told his family that he won't be able to survive the ninth attack.&nbsp;
Dubey's family said that these repeated snake bites have left them in a financial predicament, prompting to seek assistance from local authorities. Dubey also asked for Ayushman Card from the government.
As this news came to light, the chief medical officer Rajiv Narayan Giri said,"The victim came to the Collectorate and cried that he had spent a lot of money to cure the snake bite and now he requested financial help from the authorities. I advised him to visit a government-run hospital where he could get anti-snake venom free of cost."
Giri further called this case very strange. He said, "We still need to figure out if it is actually a snake that's biting him. We also need to see the competence of the doctor who is treating him. A person being bitten by a snake every Saturday and that person being admitted to the same hospital every time, and recovering in just one day seems strange."
The Chief Medical Officer said that they have formed a three-doctor team to investigate this case.&nbsp;

Maha Kumbh 2025: Prayagraj Mela administration hikes boat fare by 50 pc

A revised list of boat fares is being prepared to maintain transparency and it will be prominently displayed at all ghats and parking areas, according to ADM Mela.

Ahead of the Maha Kumbh in January, the Kumbh Mela Administration has approved an increase in the fares of boatmen by 50 per cent.
According to Additional District Magistrate Mahakumbh Vivek Chaturvedi, this decision comes after prolonged demands from the boatmen and a fruitful discussion between the Prayagraj District Boatmen Association and the Mela administration.
Welcoming the move, Pappu Lal Nishad, President of the Prayagraj District Boatmen Association said that boat fares had remained unchanged for years despite rising inflation.
He praised the administration&rsquo;s decision as a significant step in favour of the boatmen&rsquo;s welfare.
Following the fare hike for boats, strict measures will be implemented to ensure that devotees are not overcharged.
A revised list of boat fares is being prepared to maintain transparency and it will be prominently displayed at all ghats and parking areas, according to ADM Mela.
Meanwhile, the administration has also restricted the movement of vehicles for devotees&rsquo; safety. While motorboats remain prohibited, traditional boats can operate even on major bathing festival days.
Sub Divisional Magistrate Mahakumbh Abhinav Pathak stated that decisions regarding boat operations during festivals will be based on weather and crowd conditions.
&ldquo;Currently, 1,455 boats are in operation at Sangam, but this number is expected to exceed 4,000 during Mahakumbh as boats from neighbouring districts arrive.
All boats will undergo safety inspections before being issued licenses, and life jackets will be provided to boatmen. Additionally, every boatman will receive insurance coverage of ₹2 lakh,&rdquo; he said.

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.
According to railway officials, the train was severely overcrowded, prompting passengers already inside to bolt the doors from within to prevent more people from boarding. This infuriated those waiting at the station, leading to a violent outburst. "A youth shattered the glass of the entry door, and others broke the iron grill of a window to gain access," an official source said.
The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. and was followed by another video surfacing from Mankapur railway station later that night. The footage shows an RPF constable helping an elderly woman board the overcrowded train, highlighting the chaos passengers faced.
Chandra Mohan Mishra, Senior Divisional Security Commissioner of Northeastern Railway, confirmed that authorities have CCTV footage of the vandalism and are working to identify the perpetrators. "Our teams are trying to track down those involved," he said.
Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests have been made so far.
The Antyodaya Express, which runs between Chhapra and Mumbai, has been a lifeline for many passengers travelling long distances, but the incident underscores the challenges posed by overcrowded trains.
As the investigation continues, railway authorities will likely face questions about overcrowding and safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

"The family had left for Delhi at around 10 PM on Wednesday night after attending a wedding. Their vehicle met with the fatal collision shortly thereafter," the SP said.

Uttar Pradesh: Six killed in Shahjahanpur road accident

"The family had left for Delhi at around 10 PM on Wednesday night after attending a wedding. Their vehicle met with the fatal collision shortly thereafter," the SP said.

A car rammed into a truck, leaving six members of a family dead and four others critically injured in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur district, police said on Thursday.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh S said, "The accident occurred near the Barkheda Jaipal crossroads on the Bareilly-Etawah highway when a family travelling to Delhi in an Ertiga car collided with an oncoming truck late Wednesday night."
The deceased were identified as Riyazul Ali (45), Amna (42), Gudiya (9), Tamanna 'Anu' (32), and Noor (6). Gulfisha (25) later succumbed to injuries at a government hospital.
Riyazul, a resident of Kant town in Shahjahanpur, was engaged in the garment business in Delhi, the police said.
"The family had left for Delhi at around 10 PM on Wednesday night after attending a wedding. Their vehicle met with the fatal collision shortly thereafter," the SP said.
Chief Medical Superintendent of the Government Medical College Dr Nepal Singh said five seriously injured people were brought here, of whom Gulfisha (25) died during treatment.
In addition to this, a seriously injured patient was referred to Bareilly. The condition of two of the three patients admitted here remains serious.
Police said they had taken the truck driver into custody and seized the vehicle.
Shamsher Ali, the uncle of Riyazul, said at the hospital, "The family had come to Shahjahanpur two days ago for a wedding and were returning to Delhi when this tragedy occurred."
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed condolences to the bereaved families.
In a statement, he directed district officials to ensure the injured receive proper treatment and prayed for their speedy recovery.

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.

No provision of free travel for Prayagraj Maha Kumbh Mela: Railways

"Indian Railways categorically denies these reports, as they are entirely baseless and misleading," the statement said.

The Ministry of Railways on Wednesday dismissed as "baseless" claims that passengers would be allowed to travel free of cost during the Maha Kumbh Mela, and said no such provision exists.
"It has come to the attention of Indian Railways that certain media outlets are circulating reports claiming that passengers will be allowed to travel free of cost during the Maha Kumbh Mela," it said in a statement.
"Indian Railways categorically denies these reports, as they are entirely baseless and misleading," the statement said.
"Travelling without a valid ticket is strictly prohibited under the rules and regulations of Indian Railways and constitutes a punishable offence. There are no provisions for free travel during Maha Kumbh Mela or any other occasion," the ministry added.
It added that the Indian Railways was committed to ensuring seamless passenger travel during the Maha Kumbh.
"Adequate arrangements are being made, including the establishment of special holding areas, additional ticket counters, and other necessary facilities to manage the anticipated influx of passengers," the Railways said.
