DVAC Raids At Former DMK Minister KN Nehru's Residence In Tamil Nadu

Authorities in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur carried out a demolition drive against a mosque situated inside the District Magistrate collectorate office complex following court orders that rejected appeals against an earlier ruling declaring the structure illegal. The administrative action, conducted with bulldozers under heavy police deployment including Provincial Armed Constabulary forces, led to the barricading of the collectorate premises as a precautionary measure. The demolition has triggered a political controversy in Uttar Pradesh. Opposition leaders strongly criticised the administrative action, questioning the legality and timing of the drive. A Member of Parliament was placed under house arrest at her residence to prevent travel to the site, while another parliamentarian termed the operation an infringement on constitutional norms, alleging local residents were restricted inside homes. The administration maintained that all legal protocols and judicial parameters were adhered to during the enforcement of the court order.

A massive fire broke out late Saturday night at the R&R Inkore bag factory located in Tronica City, Ghaziabad. Twelve fire tenders were deployed to battle the blaze, bringing it under control after nearly four hours of efforts. The fire completely engulfed the building, destroying three factory sheds. Firefighting teams used eight to ten pumping lines along with a JCB to demolish walls for effective operations. No casualties have been reported, and cooling operations were underway amid the smoldering debris. The cause of the fire and the extent of property damage are currently being assessed.

Incessant heavy rains lashed Delhi NCR for a second straight day, bringing significant weather changes across North India. The India Meteorological Department issued alerts predicting continued cloud cover and widespread showers across the National Capital Region. While downpours led to waterlogging in some pockets, including previous disruptions near the airport, central Delhi and NDMC areas reported manageable conditions with steady rain. Traffic congestion on major routes saw partial respite owing to an ongoing long weekend, reducing commuter volumes on Saturday morning. However, with the monsoon reactivating and the weather department forecasting persistent rainfall over the next two to three days covering Sunday and Monday, concerns remain regarding civic readiness, water drainage, and potential traffic bottlenecks as the workweek resumes.

The footage shows firefighters positioned at different points, directing powerful jets of water towards the burning section. Flames can be seen rising from behind the structure as smoke spreads across the premises.
