CHENNAI: BJP State president Nainar Nagenthran on Tuesday assured that the Muruga devotees conference, scheduled for 22 June in Madurai, will remain entirely apolitical. Speaking at a press conference at the BJP headquarters, he said, Contrary to the DMKs expectations, no political comments or views will be made during the conference.

Responding to DMK deputy general secretary Kanimozhis remark that the conference is a tool for the weak to gain strength, Nagenthran countered, The reality is different.

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah slams BJP over resignation demand
The chief minister asked the BJP leaders to seek the resignation of those responsible for the Ahmedabad plane crash, collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge in Morbi in Gujarat, and stampede during the Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh
Who quit after air crash, Kumbh stampede: CM Siddaramaiah
BENGALURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday hit out at the BJP for seeking his resignation over the stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, which claimed 11 lives. Siddaramaiah asked the BJP to first release a list of its leaders who resigned owing responsibility after similar incidents in the past, including the recent Ahmedabad plane crash , collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge in Morbi, Gujarat, and the stampede during the Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh. The incident that happened outside Chinnaswamy Stadium is a tragedy. As a responsible government, we have ordered a probe, and action has been taken. While we have taken these many steps, the BJP is demanding my resignation. They are politicising the tragedy. They have no concern for people, the CM said. The BJP on Tuesday staged a protest in Bengaluru seeking the resignation of CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar in connection with the stadium stampede. He said that the BJP plays politics over dead bodies, and it is their old habit. Siddaramaiah said that his government knows the pain of the families of the stampede victims, and that is why the Congress is not politicising the incident. Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka HC asks cops not to arrest RCB, DNA reps Recalling the Godhra train carnage that resulted in communal riots in Gujarat in 2002, Siddaramaiah said that the then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee had asked the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi to resign. Modi neither resigned nor expressed any regret. BJP leaders, who are demanding our resignations, should question their own leaders about this, the CM said, asking the BJP leader why they did not seek PM Modis resignation after the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack . My party wanted a special session of the Parliament to discuss the matter... but PM Modi refused. The Union Government has failed to nab the four terrorists who killed innocent tourists. Who should take responsibility for this? he asked the BJP leaders. He sought to know from the BJP who was responsible for the stampede during the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and the air crash in Ahmedabad and who resigned for it. Saying that the unrest in Manipur has been going on for the last two years, the CM said that the then Chief Minister of the state from the BJP, N Biren Singh, did not resign immediately but quit only after the Supreme Court intervened. The unrest still continues in Manipur. Why hasnt Home Minister Amit Shah resigned? the CM asked BJP leaders.

Most had travelled for Shia pilgrimages (Ziyarat) to key religious cities such as Mashhad, Qom, and Tehran.

LUCKNOW: Striding towards making Uttar Pradesh a hub for world-class healthcare services, the state government has launched a new initiative to promote medical device manufacturing in Greater Noida. The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has rolled out the scheme for the allotment of 21 industrial plots in Sector-28, inviting manufacturers from the medical device sector to set up units.

Rajasthan BJP ex-pradhan alleges assault by family over live-in relationship
JAIPUR: A former BJP pradhan from Rajasthans Deeg district, Rachna Jatav, has alleged that she was assaulted by her own family members after they opposed her live-in relationship with a former deputy pradhan from the same party. The 28-year-old woman, who belongs to the Dalit community, is currently undergoing treatment at RBM Hospital in Bharatpur. In an interaction with the media, Rachna asserted that she had served as the pradhan from the BJP in the Kama Panchayat Samiti between 2017 and 2020. She said she left her family in 2021 and moved to Alwar, where she began living with former deputy pradhan Budhram Yadav (30). About a year and a half ago, the couple shifted to Kaman town and began living in a rented accommodation on Kosi Road. Rachna claims she is also continuing her studies. In her statement to the media, she said, On Sunday, my father, mother, and four brothers suddenly came to my residence. I was alone at the time. They asked me to come home with them, and when I refused, they started beating me. They hit my head against the wall and struck my leg with a stone. My family wants me to return and get married. Neighbours reportedly intervened upon hearing the commotion and later informed Budhram, who took Rachna to the hospital. Meanwhile, her father Girraj Jatav has lodged a separate complaint, claiming that he was en route to a condolence meeting in Uttar Pradesh when he saw his daughter with Budhram Yadav near a marriage home. He said he questioned her presence there, as she was supposed to be in Alwar for her studies. Girraj alleged that Budhram attacked him and hurled casteist slurs during the confrontation. Despite the incident, Rachna Jatav has not yet filed an official police complaint in the matter.

NEW DELHI: In a major push towards environmental sustainability, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will introduce annual awards to recognise exemplary plantation work carried out along national highways. The initiative is aimed at encouraging wider participation in restoring ecological balance and increasing greenery in highway corridors. Under the newly instituted NHAI Green Highways Excellence Awards, a total of nine honours will be presented annually across three categories: Avenue Plantations, Median Plantations, and Plantations at Land Parcels, which include toll plazas, service areas, and cloverleaf junctions. According to the officials familiar with the development, the Authority has decided to institute annual NHAI Green Highways Excellence awards as mandated in the Green Highways Policy, 2015. The objective is to recognise and reward exemplary efforts by various agencies and such initiatives for wider replications. Nomination will be invited by the Regional Officer (ROs) or Project Directors preferably in February. The plantation completed by January 31 will be considered for the recognition, officials said. The Authority -- road construction wing under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) -- is mandated to develop, maintain and manage the national highways. At present, the total length of NH network is about 1.46 lakh km and about 38,842 km length is under development. During the current financial year 2024-25, the ministry has planned to take up maintenance of about 25,000 km of roads. The selection process will be based on an eight-point evaluation system that will assess adherence to timelines, quality of planting material, survival rate, protection measures, species selection, and compliance with the guidelines laid down by the Indian Road Congress (IRC). Since the launch of the Green Highways Policy, NHAI has planted more than 5.12 lakh saplings across the country. The Authoritys broader vision is to saturate green cover along all national highways by involving various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and private institutions. In a recent step towards this vision, NHAI organised a plantation drive along the DelhiDehradun Economic Corridor in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, where 40,000 saplings are planned to be planted. Officials noted that such awards would not only acknowledge outstanding contributions but also serve as an incentive for other organisations to adopt similar environmental practices, creating a green and sustainable national highway ecosystem.
