Ludhiana: Seven Injured After illegal re-filling leads to Cylinder Explosion!

The Sahnewal police have booked a man, Gaurav Jha of Kanganwal, who was allegedly involved in refilling gas cylinders illegally.

Seven persons, including three children, suffered injuries after an LPG gas cylinder exploded in labour quarters in Kanganwal when some of the dwellers were refilling LPG cylinders illegally, police said on Wednesday.

The Sahnewal police have booked a man, Gaurav Jha of Kanganwal, who was allegedly involved in refilling gas cylinders illegally.

Panic gripped the area after the incident on Tuesday night. At least 25 families, who were living in labour quarters, had to vacate the rooms and spent the night in open.

The Sahnewal police lodged an FIR against the accused and initiated investigation. The injured have been identified as Priya, 32, Simpy, 23, Pawan Kumar, 29, and three children aged 10, 11 and 14.

One of the injured is yet to be identified. The victims have been rushed to civil hospital for treatment. Condition of two children, who suffered 65% burns, is stated to be serious.

The walls of the labour quarters also developed cracks due to the explosion.

According to the police, a group of labourers were involved in refilling small cylinders illegally when the gas leaked. As the women, living in the other rooms, lit the stove for cooking, the gas caught flames and the cylinder exploded. The children who were playing in the veranda also suffered burn injuries.

Shyam Raj Pandey, a local, stated that they immediately informed the police and alerted the fire brigade. They rushed the victims to hospital. The fire brigade doused the flames after one hour.

The police recovered a weighing machine, kept for weighing cylinders, and damaged cylinders from the room.

Sub-Inspector Jasvir Singh, Incharge at Kanganwal police post, said an FIR has been lodged on the statement of Dilbagh Singh. An FIR under sections 285, 336, 337 and 338 of the IPC has been lodged against the accused, who suffered burn injuries and his condition has been stated to be serious.

Day 3 protest: Farmers to block trains today, hold round 3 talks with Centre!

Farmers’ Delhi Chalo protest: 3 Union ministers will meet farmers’ leaders in Chandigarh for the third round of talks amid stand-off at Haryana, Punjab borders.

farmer protest

Several major farmers’ unions have extended their support to the protesting farmer unions at Shambhu border and Khanauri border in Punjab, with the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) and BKU Dakaunda (Dhaner faction) announcing a ‘rail roko’ (stop trains) in the state on Thursday between 12 noon and 4 pm on Thursday, February 15. The Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of 37 farm unions, have also supported the ongoing protests. The protesters are demanding a minimum support price or MSP for their crops.

These unions had played key roles in the protests on Delhi’s fringes in 2021 and have joined the current protests citing the “condemnable use of violence” against farmers. BKU (Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan has slammed the police action.

“We stand with them in solidarity. To prove it, our supporters will hold rail roko (stop trains) at as many places as we can,” he announced. The organisation will block train tracks in Punjab between 12pm and 4pm on Thursday, he said, a day before the larger nationwide strike planned for February 16.

Farmers’ ‘Delhi chalo’ protest: Key points

  • The Indian Express reported that nearly 10 protest sites have been finalised for the rail roko protest in which the BKU Ugrahan and BKU Dakaunda (Dhaner faction) will participate jointly, and more locations are likely to be added by evening.
  • Rajpura, Sunam (near Shambu and Khanauri borders, respectively), Jethuke village in Bathinda, Moga, Mansa, Malaut, Valla railway crossing in Amritsar, Barnala, Sangrur, Budhlada have been selected as the rail roko protest locations, the report added. This will affect the Amritsar-Jalandhar-Delhi line, the Mansa-Bathinda-Delhi line, Ludhiana-Ferozepur line, and many other locations, Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan, the general secretary of BKU Ugrahan, said.
  • On Thursday, three Union ministers will meet farmers’ leaders in Chandigarh for the third round of talks as the stand-off between the protesters and police at the Punjab-Haryana border entered its third day, marked by more clashes between the two sides. The two earlier meetings, held before the march began, remained “inconclusive”.
  • Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said the meeting will be held with union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal and Nityanand Rai at 5pm.
  • Meanwhile, defence minister Rajnath Singh and agriculture minister Arjun Munda held discussions in New Delhi on addressing the farmers’ issues, reports claimed.
  • On Wednesday, at the Shambhu border point near Ambala, there was intermittent shelling by security personnel at the ‘Delhi Chalo’ protesters. Security forces used tear smoke whenever any group of farmers moved towards the barricades. Reports claimed that security personnel faced stone-pelting from the protesters.
  • A similar stand-off was witnessed continued at the Data Singhwala-Khanauri border in Haryana’s Jind district. But the situation remained less volatile compared to Tuesday, when farmers tried to shift cement barriers at Shambhu with their tractors, attempting to push towards the national capital.
  • Farmer leaders claimed that over 100 protesters were hurt Tuesday, hit by rubber bullets and tear gas shells. Police said 24 of their own men were injured in the stone-pelting by protesters during the first day of the protest.
  • At the Shambhu border, farmers with their tractor-trolleys lining the road and more arriving from different parts of Punjab, are still over 200 km from their destination.
  • Multiple layers of concrete blocks and metal spikes are put in place at Delhi’s Singhu and Tikri borders with Haryana as well as at the Ghazipur border with Uttar Pradesh. Delhi-Sonipat traffic at Singhu and the movement of vehicles to Bahadurgarh.
  • In Delhi, commuters faced a tough time at the Singhu border due to the sealing of the area and the heavy deployment of police and paramilitary forces

Check out the entire program for PM Modi’s massive event in the UAE prior to the opening of the country’s first Hindu temple!

 PM Modi mega event

The much awaited ‘Ahlan Modi’ community event, which was scheduled to feature Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, has been significantly scaled back due to unfavourable weather in the UAE, according to a news agency PTI report quoting an official involved in the preparations. The decision to postpone the ‘Ahlan Modi’ (Welcome Modi in Arabic) event was made due to unfavourable weather conditions that included heavy rain and lightning strikes throughout the UAE overnight.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 13–14, 2024. As of this Saturday, the Ministry of External Affairs announced that PM Modi will have made seven trips to the UAE since 2015, including three in the last eight months.

On February 14, Prime Minister Modi will dedicate the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi during his two-day visit. “One of the most important aspects of PM Modi’s visit to the UAE is the inauguration ceremony of the BAPS temple,” Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra stated on Monday. In addition, at a gathering in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Sports City, the Prime Minister will speak to the Indian community living there.

PM Modi and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, will meet one-on-one. The two leaders will talk about how to further develop, broaden, and fortify their strategic alliance and share their opinions on regional and global matters of shared concern. Additionally, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE’s vice president, prime minister, and minister of defence, will meet with PM Modi.

In 2024, the Prime Minister is scheduled to attend the World Government Summit. He is scheduled to give a special keynote address as the Guest of Honour. 

On February 13, he is also expected to speak to the Indian community in the United Arab Emirates at an event held at Zayed Sports City. Over 65,000 people have registered for the ‘Ahlan Modi’ event in Abu Dhabi, according to news agency ANI, indicating an unprecedented level of interest. Unfortunately, the event was cancelled because of the bad weather. Presently, the event is expected to draw between 35,000 and 40,000 people, including those who are presenting cultural programmes.

Later, on February 14, he will officially open the BAPS Mandir, Abu Dhabi’s first Hindu temple. The BAPS Hindu Mandir is expected to be the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East. The leadership of the UAE kindly donated the 27 acres of land on which the temple is located. In 2015, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, donated 13.5 acres of land for the construction of the mandir.

On February 14, PM Narendra Modi will depart from his two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates and head to the capital city of Doha, Qatar. The news of PM Modi’s trip to Qatar was made public one day after the Gulf state freed eight Indian naval personnel who had been imprisoned. On Monday morning, seven of them left for India.

Ashok Chavan likely to join BJP, day after quitting Congress!

Ashok Chavan is likely to join the BJP today in Mumbai, his office said, as reported by news agency ANI.

Ashok Chavan join bjp

Former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan is likely to join the BJP today in Mumbai, a day after he resigned from the Congress delivering a major blow to the party in the state ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election which Congress will be fighting as part of INDIA bloc with Uddhav Sena and Sharad Pawar’s NCP. On Monday, Chavan did not specify his future plan and asserted that he was not in talks with any political party but said that he would announce his next step within 48 hours. Speculations were rife that he would join the BJP, but Chavan denied a specific BJP link on Monday and said he did not decide anything.

While Maharashtra Congress has been witnessing big-ticket exits, this is the first that would help BJP directly as Milind Deora and Baba Siddique chose BJP’s allies in Maharashtra — Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP — but not BJP itself.

Rajya Sabha seat for Ashok Chavan?

After Ashok Chavan’s resignation, it was speculated that he might get a Rajya Sabha berth from the BJP. Uddhav Thackeray said it would be disrespectful to martyred soldiers if Chavan is sent to the Rajya Sabha. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had earlier gone to Nanded (Chavan’s home district) and spoken about corruption committed by Ashok Chavan. They had said Chavan disrespected families of the martyred soldiers…But if the prime minister sends him (Chavan) to Rajya Sabha, it will amount to disrespecting our soldiers,” Uddhav said.

“I have resigned from the Assembly membership as an MLA. I have given my resignation to the Speaker. I have resigned from the Congress Working Committee and the Congress primary membership. I have not decided to join any party. I will clear my stand on joining a party after two days,” Chavan told reporters after resigning from Congress.

Congress in a huddle after Ashok Chavan’s resignation

Ashok Chavan’s resignation caught the Congress unawares and now many MLAs are likely to follow Chavan. Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chenniyhala has called for a key meeting of the party leaders in Mumbai. Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam said Ashok Chavan was not happy with the working style of one of the Congress leaders. The Congress leader in question is Nana Patole.

Massive traffic jam at Delhi-Gurugram border ahead of farmers’ protest!

More than 200 farmer unions will be marching to the Capital after the last round of talks with the government remained inconclusive.

Massive traffic jam at Delhi

Vehicular traffic was disrupted in the national capital on Tuesday ahead of the farmers’ ‘Delhi Chalo’ protest march day after their meeting with two Union ministers over their demands remained inconclusive.

Videos shared by news agencies showed vehicles stuck in jam at Delhi-Gurugram border due to the restriction of traffic movement along the borders. The authorities have also restricted traffic movement at Singhu, Ghazipur and Shambhu borders in the capital.

Multi-layered barricading has been enforced at these borders to restrict the protesting farmers from entering the national capital.

“Section 144 is in place. Bringing in tractor trolleys and assemblies is restricted. The Delhi Police and the CAPF are here. We have prepared to seal the border. We will ensure that no one breaks this border. If there is any untoward incident we will seal it completely,” Ankit Singh, deputy commissioner of police (DCP), north east district, told ANI.

On Tuesday, more than 200 farmer unions will be heading to the capital after the last round of talks with the government remained inconclusive.

“We do not think the government is serious on any of our demands. We do not think they want to fulfil our demands…. Tomorrow, we will march towards Delhi at 10 am,” farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher had told reporters on Monday.

Union agriculture minister Arjun Munda along with food and consumer affairs minister Piyush Goyal had attended the meeting with the farmers. Munda said that a consensus was reached on most issues and the Centre had proposed that the remaining concerns be addressed through the formation of a committee.

“The government always wants that we can resolve every issue through dialogue…. We are still hopeful and we welcome talks,” Munda was quoted by PTI as saying.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha had announced that more than 200 farmer unions will head to Delhi to press the Centre to accept their demands.

Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to skip western UP!

The yatra was earlier scheduled to remain in Uttar Pradesh from February 16 to February 26 before entering Rajasthan.

Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has decided to cut short his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Uttar Pradesh by skipping western part of the state and saving five days, a party leader said on Monday while citing board exams.

The decision follows indications that Samajwadi Party ally and Jayant Singh-led Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) may join hands with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Uttar Pradesh Congress spokesperson Anshu Awasthi said the duration of the yatra in UP is being reduced in view of the state board examinations for Classes 10 and 12.

The yatra was earlier scheduled to remain in Uttar Pradesh from February 16 to February 26 before entering Rajasthan. However, it will now end on February 21 and enter Madhya Pradesh by skipping western UP.

“Setting an example of sensitivity, Rahul Gandhi ji has given public interest a priority on many occasions. Keeping in mind the UP Board examinations starting from February 22, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will remain in Uttar Pradesh from February 16 to February 21,” Awasthi said in a statement issued here.

“Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had cancelled his rallies in Bengal out of concern for the people during the COVID-19 period,” the spokesperson said.

Elaborating on the schedule of the yatra in UP, Awasthi said it will enter the state through Varanasi on February 16, and then reach Amethi on February 19 via Bhadohi, Prayagraj and Pratapgarh.

On February 19, Gandhi will address a public meeting in Gauriganj in Amethi Lok Sabha constituency and the yatra will reach Rae Bareli the next day from where it will proceed for Lucknow. The participants of the march, including Gandhi, are likely to make a night halt there, he said.

The spokesperson said the yatra will reach Unnao from Lucknow on February 21. It will enter Kanpur via Unnao city and Shuklaganj. Subsequently, it will reach Jhansi via Kanpur and Hamirpur, after which it would enter Madhya Pradesh the same day.

Denying that the recent and sudden shift of the RLD (a part of INDIA bloc) towards the BJP has prompted the party to go back to the drawing board and leave the western UP region, Awasthi said, “The change in the itinerary of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is only in view of the UP Board examination.”

According to the website of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, the hybrid bus and foot march was earlier scheduled to reach Bareilly from Lucknow. It would have then gone to Aligarh and Agra before entering Rajasthan.

Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra

Asked when Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav will be joining the yatra, Awasthi told PTI, “SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is likely to join the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Rae Bareli district on February 20 and take part in a road show.

Yadav on February 6 received an invitation to join the yatra. Yadav had said he will join the yatra either in Amethi or in Raebareli.

“Akhilesh Yadav has received an invitation of (Congress president) Mallikarjun Kharge to join Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which enters UP on February 16. Yadav has given consent to join the yatra either in Amethi or Raebareli,” the SP said in a statement.

Yadav said he expected that the yatra would join the ‘PDA’ strategy of the SP while entering the state and take forward its agitation for “social justice and mutual harmony”.
