My fight in Gurugram not with any person or party but with problems: Congress' Raj Babbar

My fight in Gurugram not with any person or party but with problems: Congress' Raj Babbar By Amit Kumar Film actor and Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Gurugram Raj Babbar on Saturday said that he is not too concerned about national issues but local ones and that he is not contesting against any particular person or party but against apathy. I am not thinking about national issues but local. I have an old relationship with Gurgaon. Those who are coming from Delhi don't know that this place is the most backward in the interiors...My fight is not with any person or party but with problems, I am contesting against apathy, Babbar said speaking to ANI on Saturday. The Congress leader expressed deep sorrow over the bus accident in Nuh where several people were charred to death and many were left injured after the bus they were travelling in caught fire. Responding to a question on how many seats will be bagged by the Congress in Haryana, Babbar said that his party would sweep the state. Gurugram is where people from across the state of Haryana live. It is a city in which people from all over Haryana and people from everywhere can be seen...Gurugram means Haryana and it is also a cosmopolitan city. This is unique...Looking at their response, it seems that Congress Party is winning all 10 seats in the state, Babbar said speaking to ANI. People don't want the BJP government this time. All development and small-scale industries in the country developed during the time of Jawaharlal Nehru to the Manmohan Singh government...BJP does not understand the issues that are on the ground, he added. On BJP's slogan 'abki baar 400 paar' Raj Babbar said that people have understood that it is only a slogan. BJP people are deceiving themselves. Despite knowing the reality they are talking like this. This is not the way to fight elections among the public...They had shown the trailer of the film 'Hum To Film Wale Hain' in 2014 and people felt that the film was coming...In 2019 they won while waiting for the film and now after watching the film people have understood that the film is not good. So this is a mere slogan, Babbar said speaking to ANI. Responding to BJP's claim that Congress is batting for reservations for Muslims, Babbar said, They do not trust the law but we trust the law. Why should we talk about something that cannot happen? How can you change the quota of a backward class and a Dalit? Babbar is up against sitting MP and former Minister Rao Inderjit Singh of the BJP in Gurugram. Also in the fray are Rahul Yadav of the JJP and Sorab Khan of the INLD. The elections to Gurugram are scheduled for Phase 6 of the polls on May 25. The results of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared on June 4. (ANI)

The exclusive masterclasses highlighting Japanese mixology and craftsmanship with Shingo Gokan took place on 11th April at The Library Bar in The Leela Palace New Delhi and 13th April at ZLB23 in The Leela Palace Bengaluru. About House of Suntory Since 1923, Suntory has been renowned as the pioneer of Japanese Whisky for its House of Master Blenders and for their Art of Blending. Founder Shinjiro Torii built Japans first malt whisky distillery in Yamazaki, and the Suntory legacy continued with Toriis son and Suntorys second Master Blender, Keizo Saji, who continued to establish distilleries including the Hakushu distillery. As the generations of Suntorys master blenders carry on, Suntory Whisky remains committed to heritage and innovation. The House of Suntory has been named four-time Distiller of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge in London, UK (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014). Suntory Whiskies are subtle, refined and complex. The portfolio includes two single malt whiskies: YamazakiJapans number one single malt, multi-layered and profound, and Hakushuverdant, fresh, and delicately smoky; and two blends: the noble blend, HibikiJapans most highly awarded blended whisky and Suntory Whisky Toki. The House of Suntory portfolio also offers Roku Japanese Gin and Haku Japanese Vodka. Created from Japanese ingredients by the master artisans at the House of Suntory, Roku Gin and Haku Vodka represent the nature and spirit of Japan. This year, the House of Suntory celebrates one hundred years of whisky innovationa major milestone not only for the brands history, but for Japanese spirits culture as a whole. To mark this anniversary, the House of Suntory will be rolling out its centennial campaign throughout 2023. About Toki Suntory Whisky Toki, meaning time, is a concept that is deeply-woven into the Japanese way of life - a concept rich in meaning the world over, yet especially in Japan, where regard for convention and re-evaluation starts an amazing inventive vitality. The House of Suntorys fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo was inspired to create a blend that is both groundbreaking and timeless, leading him to take a fresh approach with Toki. By bringing the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain spirit is distilled only twice on column stills, and is vanilla-rich with a sweet undertone in its unblended state. Shinji-san sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt similar to many Speyside distilleries. The unique pairing of Hakushu American White Oak Cask malt spirit with Chita heavy-type grain spirit overturns the traditional hierarchy between malt and grain. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant spirits, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity give rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Toki Suntory Whisky. About Shingo Gokan Shingo Gokan is a bar industry legend. The 15th most Influential Bar Personality in the world as per Drinks Internationals Bar World 100, he runs an empire of F&B establishments across the globe.

Dog Walker Accused of Abusing Pet Golden Retriever in Gurugram Lift

A recent viral video has sparked outrage as it depicted a dog walker allegedly abusing a pet golden retriever inside an elevator within a residential society in Gurugram. The distressing incident, which unfolded on May 9th at the Orchid Gardens society in Sector 54, has garnered significant attention both locally and on social media platforms. According to reports, the footage captured by a CCTV camera within the society revealed the dog walker engaged in reprehensible behavior towards the canine companion. The video, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user Vidit Sharma, portrays the individual striking the golden retriever multiple times with a litter scoop. Shockingly, the abuse extends beyond physical blows to include the use of hands to strike the dog's head, eventually leading to the confinement of the dog's face within the scoop. The dog's owner, although understandably distressed by the footage, has chosen not to escalate the matter to law enforcement authorities at this time. Instead, a decisive action was taken to terminate the services of the implicated dog walker following the circulation of the video. This decision underscores the owner's commitment to the well-being and safety of their pet, ensuring that such reprehensible conduct is not tolerated. In response to the video's circulation, there has been a widespread condemnation of the behavior exhibited by the dog walker. Animal rights activists, concerned citizens, and pet owners alike have voiced their shock and dismay at the mistreatment of the golden retriever. The incident has reignited discussions surrounding the importance of responsible pet care and the ethical treatment of animals entrusted to human care. While the absence of a formal police complaint may raise questions, it is imperative to recognize the complexities involved in such situations. The decision to pursue legal action rests with the dog owner, who may be navigating various factors, including emotional distress and concerns about legal processes. Nevertheless, the public outcry serves as a powerful reminder of the collective responsibility to advocate for the welfare of animals and hold individuals accountable for their actions. Instances of animal cruelty, such as the one depicted in the viral video, underscore the need for heightened awareness and vigilance within communities. It is incumbent upon society to remain vigilant against all forms of abuse, including those perpetrated against defenseless animals. Through continued advocacy, education, and enforcement of existing laws, strides can be made towards creating a safer and more compassionate environment for all living beings. In conclusion, the emergence of the viral video depicting the alleged abuse of a pet golden retriever in Gurugram has ignited widespread condemnation and calls for justice. While the dog owner has opted not to pursue formal legal action, the removal of the dog walker from service underscores a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of the animal. As discussions surrounding animal welfare continue, it is essential for communities to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding the rights and dignity of all living creatures.

'Horrible,' says SC about 3,800 tonnes of solid waste going untreated in Delhi every day

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday termed as horrible the situation where 3,800 tonnes of solid waste in Delhi and its surrounding areas go untreated every day, and observed it violated the fundamental right of citizens to live in a pollution-free environment. Referring to data on generation of solid waste per day and the capacity to treat them in areas like Gurugram, Faridabad and Greater Noida, the top court observed that considering the development work which was taking place in Delhi and the surrounding areas, it was obvious that it would increase. A bench of Justices A S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan said immediate measures should be undertaken to ensure that the quantity of untreated solid waste does not increase till proper facilities are put in place to treat them. The authorities will have to consider various methods to do that, including putting restraints on construction activity in these areas, it said. It directed the secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs of the Government of India to convene a meeting of all authorities concerned to find a solution and place it before the court. In the event the authorities fail to come out with any concrete proposals, we will have to consider passing drastic order with a view to take care of the environment in the capital city of Delhi and surrounding areas, the bench said. We hope and trust that all the authorities will take the issue with great seriousness as prima facie impression which we gather is that none of the authorities have bothered to consider the drastic consequences of not having adequate capacity to deal with solid waste generated every day, it said. The bench said a report shall be prepared by the secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and placed before the court by July 19. The apex court noted it was an admitted position by all concerned that within the limits of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), every day 3,800 tonnes of solid waste was generated which cannot be treated as the existing plants do not have the capacity to treat them. This is a sorry state of affairs in the capital city of Delhi, it said. Calling it a very vital issue for Delhi, the bench observed there should be no politics over it. It noted that the MCD's counsel has apprised the court that it will be possible to treat such excess waste only by June 2027 when an additional facility will come into existence. It said this means that for a period of more than three years from now, Delhi will have 3,800 tonnes of untreated solid waste accumulating in some place every day. As noted in the earlier order, this poses a great danger to the environment of the capital city, it said. Referring to an affidavit filed by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affair, the bench said something more shocking has been brought on record. It noted that as per the affidavit, 1,200 tonnes of solid waste was generated in Gurugram daily while the capacity of processing was only 150 tonnes per day. The bench said as per data, 1,000 tonnes of solid waste was generated daily in Faridabad but the capacity of processing was only 240 tonnes a day. During the hearing, the court said a permanent solution has to be found by the authorities otherwise tell us which category of constructions should we stop in Delhi. We will pass that drastic order. Around 3,800 tonnes per day is untreated solid waste in the city of Delhi. Have you taken estimate how far will it increase? it asked the counsel representing various authorities. We are worried about this. What the whole world will say. In the capital city of India, 3,800 tonnes of solid waste being untreated every day as of 2024. What will happen in 2025, what will happen in 2026? it said. Everywhere the situation is horrible, the court said. Towards the fag end of the hearing, the bench told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was appearing before it in some other matter, that the Centre should also look into this issue. What kind of scenario is this and what signal are we giving to the entire world? We talk about development, we talk about environment. What signal we are giving, the bench said. It also asked whether any authority has tried to prepare an estimate as to how much the quantity of untreated solid waste will increase in Delhi in the years to come. It is going to be an increase of three per cent per annum, which means 330 metric tonnes per day and the source for it is the 2041 draft Master Plan of Delhi, the counsel appearing for MCD said. The bench has posted the matter for hearing on July 26. While hearing the matter on April 22, the apex court had termed as shocking that 3,000 tonnes of the 11,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste generated in Delhi every day was not processed.
