Gurgaon Lok Sabha Seat Witnessing Intense Battle Between Local and Outsider Candidates
Gurgaon Lok Sabha Seat Witnessing Intense Battle Between Local and Outsider Candidates The Gurgaon Lok Sabha constituency in Haryana is witnessing a local versus outsider contest after the Congress nominated actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar from the seat against sitting MP Rao Inderjit Singh of the ruling BJP. In his campaign, Babbar highlights his Haryana connect to beat the 'outsider' jibe while Singh appeals to voters to again go for the ''tried and tested''. According to the Congress leader, his family had arrived in Ambala after the country's Partition. ''Mein bahari nahin hoon (I am not an outsider),'' the 71-year-old former MP says, adding that he has relatives in Gurugram and Faridabad too. Singh has been targeting Babbar, saying he is an 'outsider'. Babbar's candidature was announced by the Congress on April 30. Congress leader and former Haryana minister Ajay Singh Yadav was also a strong probable from the seat. Making a stop at Badshahpur under Gurgaon constituency while campaigning recently, Babbar appeals to people to vote for a change and elect him this time. ''Gurugram mein iss baar badlaav ki bari hai.'' ''Raj Babbar will create his place in the hearts of people,'' says the actor-politician, who began his campaign after a visit to the Sheetla Mata temple in Gurgaon last week. Targeting the BJP, Babbar says that despite generating a major chunk of revenue for Haryana, Gurugram city does not have proper civic infrastructure and the situation turns bad during the monsoon season. On the other hand, BJP's Rao Inderjit Singh (74), a five-time parliamentarian, of which he has served as Gurgaon MP on three occasions (2009-till present), pitches himself as a leader who is local and understands people's needs and aspirations. He is banking on the development works carried out in Gurugram during his tenure as MP as well as his local connect. During his campaign, Singh tells the people, ''Mein Gurgaon vasiyo ka parkha hua hoon (I am your tried and tested leader). I have always raised the voice of my constituents. The strength which you give me I use that for raising your voice.'' ''Gurgaon and India are progressing. We want to bring Narendra Modi as Prime Minister again and take our country on a path of progress,'' he says. Seeking reelection, Singh, son of former Haryana chief minister late Rao Birender Singh, highlights the works done during the past 10 years in Gurugram, saying these will be further accelerated. Two decades ago Gurgaon used to be a small town, but today it is contributing 70-75 per cent revenue to the state, Singh says. After Gurgaon parliamentary constituency was carved out in 2008 and first elections for the seat were held in 2009, it was for the first time that the Congress went with a candidate who does not belong to the Yadav community, which has a sizable presence in south Haryana. Singh, a prominent Ahir leader, who joined the BJP after switching over from the Congress in 2014, had represented Gurgaon in 2009 as Congress MP. Prior to this, Singh has also served as MP twice from Mahendragarh, which is Bhiwani-Mahendragarh constituency from 2009. Among the development works, Singh highlights the inauguration (by Prime Minister Narendra Modi) of the 19km-long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway that will cut travel time between Delhi and Gurgaon, inauguration of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)-Rewari, and connecting old Gurgaon with metro, among others.

Delhi-NCR Schools Face Mass Bomb Threats, Turned Hoax
New Delhi: At least 100 schools in the Delhi-NCR area received identical bomb threats by email on Wednesday, triggering mass evacuations and large-scale searches as panicked parents rushed to pick up their children. The threat was declared a hoax as nothing objectionable was found during searches. The Union home ministry said the bomb threats turned out to be a hoax. The Delhi government has, meanwhile, issued an advisory to schools asking them to ensure that emails received at their official email addresses are checked timely. Police sources said the email the schools received had the same source, suspected to be sent from Russia, aimed at creating panic. They added it was also possible that culprits may have masked their identity using the DarkNet. The special cell anti-terror unit of the Delhi police will investigate the bomb threat. The case is being registered with the special cell and a dedicated team will be formed to conduct the investigation. The matter is related to national security. It needs a deeper probe, the official said. The police will also probe foreign involvement, including of the Islamic State. Some schools of Delhi received emails regarding bomb threats. The Delhi police has conducted thorough checks of all such schools as per protocol, the Delhi police said in a post on X. Nothing objectionable has been found. It appears that these calls seem to be a hoax. We request the public not to panic and maintain peace, it said. The police said the content of the email to every school was the same, adding that it was sent from a user with email id, sawariim@mail.Ru. Kill them wherever you meet and drive them out of the places from which they drove you. There are many explosive devices in the school... reads the identical email sent to all schools. The investigation so far has revealed that Sawariim (clashing of the swords) is an Arabic word, which has been used by the Islamic State since 2014 to spread Islamist propaganda. Thus, the police is investigating if there is a conspiracy of any organisation behind these threatening emails Sources claimed that a single IP address was used to send the email to all schools. The police received at least 131 PCR calls regarding the bomb while the Delhi Fire Service got over 109 calls from different schools. They started receiving calls about the bomb threat at 6 am, an officer said. An official said that DFS also received calls even after noon and firefighters are still on the ground. Multiple private schools in Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Gurgaon also received the bomb threat, but the local police dismissed them as a hoax. The bomb threat was received in 16 schools in Outer district, 24 private schools in East Delhi, 18 schools in South Delhi, 21 schools in West Delhi and 10 schools in Shahdara, four in Northeast Delhi and several schools in other areas too. Special CP (Crime) Ravinder Yadav said: These emails were received in several schools. Some hospitals also received these emails on Tuesday. Thorough checking was done Even if it was a hoax call, we cannot take chances. We will conduct an investigation. Earlier in the day, the Union home ministry said there was no need to panic as the threat appeared to be a hoax. It said the Delhi police and security agencies were taking all the necessary steps as per protocol, it said. The Delhi police said it has conducted a thorough check of all schools that received the bomb threat but found nothing. Delhi lieutenant-governor V.K. Saxena visited one school and said that the Delhi police has traced the origin of the threat emails. Delhi education minister Atishi said nothing was found in the schools and requested parents not to panic. We are in constant touch with the police and schools. Would request parents and citizens not to panic. The school authorities will be in touch with parents wherever needed, Atishi said in a post on X. Parents and guardians rushed to the schools to pick up their children. The school administrations made announcements on the microphone as parents rushed to collect their wards. Fire tenders, ambulances and lines of police vehicles were seen on standby outside the schools, while bomb detection teams and bomb disposal squads were conducting searches inside the schools.

Delhi-NCR, Bangalore witness a decline; Pune, Hyderabad saw a substantial hike in luxury real estate sale: CBRE The luxury real estate market in India has experienced contrasting trends in major cities during the first quarter of 2024, according to the latest findings by CBRE South Asia Pvt. Ltd. While Delhi-NCR, Kolkata and Bangalore witnessed a significant decline in luxury segment housing, other major cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai recorded a surge in the same segment. During the period from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024, Delhi-NCR saw a 38.83 per cent decline in luxury segment housing, while Kolkata and Bangalore recorded a 36.63 per cent and 85.71 per cent decrease respectively. On the other hand, Pune witnessed a substantial 78.5 per cent increase. Hyderabad experienced a notable 52.5 per cent rise, Chennai saw a 33.33 per cent increase and Mumbai recorded a 13.5 per cent growth in the luxury segment housing market CBRE's report 'India Market Monitor Q1 2024', revealed that the luxury segment housing (units priced at Rs 4 crore and above) recorded a 10 per cent year-on-year sales growth during January to March 2024. This segment accounted for about 5 per cent of the overall residential unit sales during this period, with a significant increase of nearly 64 per cent year-on-year in new luxury segment unit launches. Mumbai maintains its stronghold as the leading luxury segment market, contributing over 40 per cent of the country's total luxury inventory in Jan-Mar '24. The city, known for its attraction to high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs), boasts premium locations such as Altamount Road, Nepean Sea Road, and Bandra (West), where average ticket sizes range from INR 20 to 60+ crore. Delhi-NCR follows closely, representing over 25 per cent of the luxury inventory, with luxury properties concentrated in areas like Golf Links and Prithviraj Road, typically priced between Rs 40 to 60+ crore. Gurgaon has emerged as a luxury market within the region, with areas such as DLF Phase I/II witnessing ticket sizes between Rs 10 to 20 crore. Hyderabad claims the third spot with nearly 10 per cent share of the country's luxury inventory, experiencing growth driven by a pro-business environment. Areas like Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills report average ticket sizes ranging from Rs 20 to over 40 crore. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, commented, The Indian luxury real estate sector demonstrates robust fundamentals for sustained expansion, underpinned by consistent increases in household income and consumer spending power. These factors are anticipated to cultivate a segment characterized by discerning buyers prioritizing quality, financial prudence, and a desire for an elevated living experience. He added, Going forward, capitalizing on the positive sales trend, developers nationwide are ramping up activity and are expected to launch new units in the segment. Furthermore, Sustainability has become a critical differentiator in real estate development, with an increasing emphasis on constructing eco-friendly and energy-efficient dwellings. As buyers in this category tend to be more aware of and demanding such features, developers are integrating features such as energy-efficient appliances, rainwater harvesting systems, indoor air quality control, and renewable energy sources to be able to tick the boxes when catering to the demand for luxury homes, he further said. In the overall residential sector, sales across categories reached nearly 85,000 units in Jan-Mar '24, marking an 8 per cent year-on-year growth. Mid-end projects emerged as the leading category, driving sales, followed by high-end and affordable projects. Pune, Mumbai, and Bangalore collectively accounted for about 65 per cent of the total sales, while unit launches in Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad dominated the market, accounting for almost 69 per cent share during the period.
