The location where Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh was supposed to hold a programme on Friday in the state’s Churachandpur district was vandalised and set on fire by a mob. Today, the chief minister is supposed to open a gym and sports complex.

Following the event, Churachandpur implemented Section 144 and temporarily prohibited Internet use. The enraged mob was seen destroying everything inside the facility, including seats, and setting fire to the gym’s brand-new sports equipment. The crowd was promptly dispersed by local police, but the facility had already suffered damage from hundreds of flaming chairs. The situation deteriorated rapidly.

The agitated mob managed to partially torch the newly set-up open gym at PT Sports complex at New Lamka, which Biren Singh is slated to inaugurate on Friday afternoon, police told news agency PTI.

The district administration is yet to confirm if the chief minister’s program has been canceled due to the violence or not.

According to authorities, the enraged mob was able to partially burn down the recently constructed open gym at the PT Sports facility in New Lamka, which Biren Singh was supposed to dedicate on Friday afternoon. If the chief minister’s programme has been postponed because of the violence, the district administration has not yet confirmed this.

Tribal forum mob violence 

The Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum, which has been protesting the BJP-led state government’s survey of reserved and protected forest regions in addition to the wetlands, is said to have led the mob violence. The state administration was charged by the tribal forum with destroying churches.

The forum claimed in a statement that it has been forced to engage in a campaign of non-cooperation against the government, impeding its initiatives and strikes in the district on Friday starting from 8 am. 

The forum has also received backing from the Kuki Students’ Organisation, which has accused the state’s indigenous people of having a stepmotherly attitude. Three churches in the state were reportedly destroyed earlier this month by the Manipur administration, who claimed they were built without permission.

Chattisgarh, 27 April 2023: On Wednesday, Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district bombed a van that was returning from an anti-Naxal operation and had 10 security personnel and a driver in it. Around 1 o’clock, an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated in the vicinity of the Aranpur police station, killing a driver and all ten members of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) of the state police. 

According to reports, the attack on April 26 was the Maoists’ largest against the security forces in Naxal-affected Chhattisgarh in the previous two years. Around 450 kilometers separate the blast’s location from Raipur, the state capital.

How Naxals Conducted IED Attempt 

After learning about the presence of Maoists from the Darbha division in the densely forested tri-junction of the Bastar area in south Chhattisgarh, the security officers had left the Dantewada district headquarters.

According to sources, soldiers were dispatched to conduct operations based on knowledge of senior Naxal figures present in the Aranpur region. Around one o’clock in the afternoon, troops halted a private car to return to their base. The Naxals set off the IED as soon as the car arrived in the Palnar region.

Sources claim that the Naxals planted roughly 50 kilograms of IED in preparation for the attack.

Visuals from the attack site revealed a massive hole that was approximately five feet deep and divided the road. The car itself was

CM Bhupesh Baghel and PM Modi promise action

The attack by the Naxals was harshly denounced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who also paid tribute to those who lost their lives. “I condemn the assault on the Chhattisgarh police in Dantewada emphatically. I honor the brave personnel who lost their lives in the attack. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” the Prime Minister tweeted, “My sympathies to the families of the deceased.”

Attacks on personnel under the TCOC 

According to reports, armed Naxals from the Tactical Counter Offensive Campaign (TCOC) carried out the assault on security forces. TCOC is a violent campaign carried out by the Maoists between March and June to fortify their cadres and launch significant attacks on security forces because woods lack vegetation, increasing visibility and the ability to set up ambushes.

Identification of personnel killed in the blast 

driver Dhaniram Yadav, Raju Ram Kartam, Joga Kavasi, Santosh Tamo, Duglo Mandvi, Joga Sodhi, Munna Ram Kadti, Lakhmu Markam, Hariram Mandavi, Jayram Podiam, and Jagdish Kavasi were among the ten security officers and one driver that perished in the explosion.

On April 26th, 2023, Wednesday, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese announced that Australia will host the Quad Leaders’ Summit on May 24th in Sydney. Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India will be travelling to Australia in May to participate in the Quad Leaders’ Summit. The Summit will include the leaders of India, Australia, the United States, and Japan. This is the first time that Australia is hosting a Quad Leaders’ Summit in Sydney. 

“I am honoured to declare that for the first time Australia will be hosting the Quad Leaders’ Summit in Sydney on May 24,” tweeted the PM, Anthony Albanese. The declaration of this Quad summit  was made during the combined press conference hosted by PM Narendra Modi along with the counterpart of Australia in March when the latter was on a four-day visit to India. “ “The members of Quad include both countries Australia as well as India. I thanked PM Albanese for inviting me to Australia for the Summit of Quad Leaders in May. Earlier in September, India has also invited him for the G20 Summit,” said PM Modi.   

The Summit of Quad Leaders devoted towards the contribution of a steady as well as successful Indo-Pacific that guaranteed the development, security and growth for all. The leaders of Quad Group will be meeting in Australia on May 24, while earlier they have also met on four occasions. The importance of the group in the region has expanded due to its sharp interest in sustainable and inclusive growth of the economy and also encouraging connections between Quad members as well as Non-Quad members. 

The leaders of different countries participating in the Quad Summit, will have a conversation on how the Quad can work with the partners and regional groupings, also including the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Pacific Islands Forum, to strengthen the cooperation as well as shape the region.

On Wednesday Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Shiromani Akali Dal’s (SAD) party office in Chandigarh with the intent to pay his last tribute to Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal. The politician took his last breath at the age of 95 after being admitted to a hospital in Mohali a week back. 

PM Modi took to Twitter to express his condolences. He said, “The demise of Parkash Singh Badal is nothing less than a personal loss for me. I have closely interacted with him for many decades and gained so much knowledge from him.” He recalled a number of meetings with Prakash Singh Badal ‘in which his wisdom was always seen,’ He referred to Badal as a ‘remarkable statesman who contributed greatly to the nation and worked tirelessly for Punjab’s progress.”

As a gesture of respect for the veteran politician, the Centre has declared a two-day mourning across India. According to a government statement, the national flag will be flown at half-mast on all the buildings where it is normally flown, and there will be no official entertainment on these two days. The five-time chief minister gained the light in the political world after working as a village sarpanch and then in the year 1957 he contested in the assembly elections for the first time.

It was only recently when Badal’s party broke ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) due to the farmer’s protest in the year 2020. He returned his Padma Vibhushan award- the second highest civilian honour in the country as well in order to protest against the government’s mistreatment of farmers. 

The veteran political leader complained of difficulty in breathing and was thus taken to Fortis Hospital in Mohali a week ago. Fortis Hospital Mohali said in a statement that S Parkash Singh Badal left us due to his illness even though he had received proper medication. They further added that the death of S Parkash Singh Badal is deeply mourned. 

On April 26th, 2023, Wednesday, The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elected a new mayor and a deputy mayor. The Aam Aadmi Party’s candidate Shelly Oberoi was unanimously elected as the Mayor of MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi) for the second consecutive term as her rival, a BJP candidate Shikha Rai withdrew her nomination. The elections were held at the time when the Civic body was yet to choose the powerful Standing Committee, which plays an important role in the local government.

The Aam Aadmi Party’s candidate Shelly Oberoi was pitted in today’s election against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) councillor Shikha Rai from Greater Kailash. On the other hand, incumbent deputy mayor Aaley Mohammad Iqbal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also got another term as deputy mayor after BJP candidate Soni Patel withdrew her nomination. AAP’s Shelly Oberoi was elected as the MCD Mayor in the fourth attempt after much ruckus between the BJP and AAP, earlier in the year.

Being the ruling party in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the win comes as a big relief for the AAP. The last three attempts to elect the Mayor failed due to the political bickering between the AAP and the BJP. They met for the first time on 6th January, after that on 24th January, and last on 6th February. In the history of MCD elections, only eight mayors have served for more than a year, and now AAP’s Shelly Oberoi will be the ninth such mayor. 

The Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal took to his Twitter, “Congratulations Shelly and Aley on again becoming Mayor and Deputy Mayor, this time unopposed. Best wishes to both of them, people have huge expectations from us. We have to work really hard to meet the expectations.” The post of mayor in the national capital sees five single-term elections on a rotational basis with the first year reserved for women, for the open category the second year is reserved, and the reserved category got third year. At the end of the annual year, the city gets its new mayor. 

On April 26th, 2023, Wednesday, The closing ceremony of Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam will be addressed by the Prime Minister of India at 10:30 am via video conferencing. This confluence of 10-day witnessed around 3000 Saurashtrian Tamil who came to Somnath with the help of a special train. The event commenced on April 17th, while the closing ceremony will now be held at Somnath. The cultural confluence of West India and South India is celebrated by the Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam. 

For the last 1200 years, an event of this much magnitude had not taken place, for the first time it’s happening. The origin of the event lies in the thought process of Narendra Modi of encouraging the soul of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat through several initiatives and programs which bring out and rediscover the age-old links between the people in different parts of the country, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office. The vision of recognizing the shared culture as well as rich heritage between TamilNadu and Gujarat takes forward by this event.

 The Kashi Tamil Sangamam was even organised earlier with the same vision. It has been observed that many people relocated to the state of Tamil Nadu from the region of Saurashtra for decades. This gives the opportunity to many Saurashtrian Tamil to reconnect with their roots and to be back at their native places, said a statement by the Prime Minister’s office. “As the milestone #STSangamam begins, my best wishes to the participants. The relationship between the Saurashtra region in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu is ancient and a strong one. May this Sangamam uplift the cultural linkages and the soul of Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat” tweeted by the official handle of PM of India.

Through this event, for the first time Saurashtrian, who settled in the state of Tamil Nadu, are returning to their native lands. The historical significance of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu can be measured by the fact that Lord Shiva resides in Somnath (Gujarat’s coastal lines) as well as Lord Ram resides in Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu’s coastal lines). Both the States named Gujarat and Tamil Nadu occupy a central place considering their rich nature as well as heritage.

Television has always been the prior source of entertainment for the audience. Over the past years, we have watched a lot of hit comic shows which made each and every one giggle and each show has its own unique style of presenting the storyline in front of the public. Television shows have always been a special part of our lives. Each and every character won’t be remembered by the audience. There is always something about that particular character, maybe their way of speaking, their body language, their way of dressing, or could be anything. Let’s take a ride to some of the memorable comic characters of Indian Television. 

1. Daya Jethalal Gadha-Tarrak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah 

Disha Vakani aka Daya Ben is also recognized as a loud housewife. The character of Daya Ben is famous worldwide. Her screeching laughter, garba style, and who can forget Daya Ben’s iconic dialogue ‘Hey Maa!! Mata Ji’. She portrayed the role of an ideal housewife, who does not even take his husband’s name and refers to him as ‘Tapu Ke Papa’. Disha Vakani’s chemistry with her co-actor, Dilip Joshi who played the character of Jethalal was appreciated by the viewers. Daya’s accent, the way she speaks and her garba style has made her one of the best comic characters in Television shows. 

2. Roshesh Sarabhai -Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai

Rajesh Kumar aka Roshesh was one of the most unique characters in the whole series of the Sarabhai vs Sarabhai. Momma’s boy loved to write poems that no one liked to listen to at all. Indravadan Sarabhai, the father of Roshesh does not like him much but he was loved by his mother immensely. Roshesh duckish as well as an infantile way of speaking ‘momma’ rather than ‘mumma’ was the (USP) selling point of the show. It has been observed that Roshesh weirdest sense of writing poetry was inspired by his father only, but the way he adds power to the show was immensely unmatched. 

3. Mussadi Lal-Office Office

If you’re a 90s kid then there is no chance that you haven’t watched Office Office starring Pankaj Kapoor in the lead role. This particular show was one of the most popular shows of that time. Pankaj Kapoor portrayed the role of Mussadi Lal, a common man who was always asked for a bribe in order for his tasks to be completed. He was an honest man and wanted to fight against the corruption in his office as well as to finish the corruption. Talking about that one factor that sticks the viewers to watch the show, would be the acting skills of Pankaj Kapoor and his way of expressing sarcastic dialogue. He presented the life of a common middleman fighting each and every day. 

4. Praful and Hansa-Khichdi 

Rajesh Mehta aka Praful Parekh, if you really want to meet someone who has zero IQ or no IQ at all you should meet Mr. Praful Parekh. His character was one of the most loved characters on Indian Television. Talking about Hansa’s character, Hansa’s English as well as Praful’s explanation of them were the major highlights of the show. Praful’s zero knowledge has made Babuji always mad at him, and fans can never get over Hansa’s Hello, How are you? Khaana Khake jana, Haan. Talking about the body language of Praful, everything was worth looking at, and his famous dialogue Hansaa, main hoon na. Nostalgia hits while you’re watching this show. 

5. Maya Sarabhai-Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai

Maya Sarabhai aka Ratna Pathak Shah, the high society sophisticated Maya was the heart of the show. Her way of portraying the character of Maya made that character an iconic one. Her off-shoulder blouses and chiffon saree made her look up to the mark, which made her look classy too. The only middle-class thing that she has was her daughter-in-law Monisha Sarabhai, who she never missed a chance to taunt, and her ending line of every sentence, ‘Don’t mind it Beta’. Ratna Pathak Shah played the role of Maya beautifully, no one can ever play that character better than her.  

According to a report by the Global Times, Li Shangfu, China’s Defence Minister will make his maiden visit to India to attend SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) meeting of Defence Ministers to be held from 27th to 28th April in the National Capital, on April 25th, 2023, Tuesday. It has been said that following the Galwan Valley clashes that took place in the year 2020, this will be the first time that the Chinese Defence Minister will visit India to be a part of the SCO Defence Ministers  Meeting. 

According to Global Times, the Defence Ministry of China said that from 27th to 28th April (Thursday to Friday), the Defence Minister of China will take part in the SCO meetings, and will address the gatherings as well as meet the head of the delegations from other countries. “Defence Minister and Chinese State Councillor Li Shangfu will attend the defence ministers’ meeting among the members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) from 27th to 28th April in India,” said in a Tweet by the Global Times.  

A report by CNN mentioned that the US-sanctioned general, Li Shangfu was named as China’s new Defence Minister a month ago. Li Sangfu has been under US Sanctioned since 2018, and his appointment to the position of Defence Minister comes at a time of highly strained relations between Washington and Beijling. The National People’s Congress replaced outgoing defence chief, Wei Fenghe, as he was voted in by the country’s rubber-stamp parliament. Russia, China, India, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and India are among the SCO member countries. 

An encounter was also witnessed in the Galwan Valley in June 2020, when the Chinese troops tried to aggressively change the status quo on LAC in the eastern area of Ladakh. Since the past few years, it has been observed that India and China have issues as well as a long history of border transgressions while the most recent one was witnessed in the year 2022 in Arunachal Pradesh. It has been observed that almost 20 soldiers of India died in the Galwan Valley clash which was fought in hand-to-hand combat in zero temperatures around 15 June and 16 June 2020. That particular clash is known as one of the deadliest confrontations between India and China over 4 decades.

The Prime Minister of India will flag off India’s first water metro that links 10 islands around Kochi through battery-oriented electric hybrid boats for seamless connectivity with the city.

The Managing Director of Kochi Metro Rail Limited said ahead of PM Modi’s visit to Loknath Behra, “Kochi’s water metro project is a unique project which will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister.

It will turn out to be one of the most useful and successful projects.

Narendra Modi’s government has made a conscious choice in the way of providing basic framework, infrastructure as well as connectivity to the public. An example of this particular approach is shown in the increasing numbers of metro in the country, according to some officials. Narendra Modi will also inaugurate the rail electrification section of Dindigul-Palani-Palakkad. The water metro will cover 11 districts including, Kollam, Kottayam,  Palakkad, Ernakulam, Kannur, Kasargod, Malappuram, Pathanamthitta, Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur, Kozhikode.
