Aurangabad : Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said he would attend as a journalist Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s press conference scheduled to be held here on September 16 following a meeting of the state cabinet, if police allow him to remain present there.

The state cabinet is scheduled to be held in Aurangabad on Saturday to mark the Marathwada Liberation Day, also known as Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din, celebrated on 17 September annually.

Marathwada Mukti Sangram Din marks the integration of Marathwada with India after security forces invaded Hyderabad and defeated the Nizam and his Razakar units on September 17, 1948.

Talking to a Marathi news channel, Raut said, “The Maharashtra cabinet’s meeting will take place in Aurangabad on Saturday. If the police allow and don’t stop me, I will attend the press conference of CM Eknath Shinde as a journalist after the cabinet meeting.”

“I just want to see how much CM Shinde lies,” the Rajya Sabha member, who is the executive editor of Sena (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, said.

When asked about the purpose of his Aurangabad visit around the time of the state cabinet’s meeting, Raut said, “We came to know that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is going to visit Aurangabad. He does not meet us in Delhi. So we Shiv Sainiks planned to meet him here as this is our own land. But his tour has been cancelled.”

Targeting the state government over the expenses for the cabinet meeting in Aurangabad, he said, “They have a habit of grandeur. They have booked hotels in Aurangabad. This will take the state backwards. Booking hotels and taking cars on rent is a waste of public money.”

Raut accused the state government of not fulfilling the announcements made previously for the Marathwada region.

“A package of Rs 49,000 crore was announced in 2016 for the development of Marathwada region. How many promises have been fulfilled so far? Now it is being said that the government will announce another package of Rs 40,000 crore. The government must tell how many promises done earlier are fulfilled,” he said.

Kota: Three members of a family were booked for dowry death after a 25-year-old woman died here under mysterious circumstances, police said on Friday.

On Wednesday night, Nahida Parveen was brought to a local hospital in an unconscious state by her husband Munnawar, SHO (Kaithun) Hari Singh Meena said.

The doctors declared her brought dead and after noticing strangulation marks around her neck, they suspected foul play and informed the police, he said.

The victim’s parents were also informed about the incident and on the complaint of her father, a case was registered against Munnawar and his family members on Thursday, the SHO said.

The father, a resident of Madhya Pradesh’s Nimach city, told police that Nahida married Munnawar around four years ago in Kaithun and they have two children, police said.

Munnawar and his family members would frequently torture and harass the woman for dowry after the marriage, he alleged in the complaint.

Following this, a case of dowry death was lodged against Munnawar, his mother and brother, the SHO said.

The woman’s body was handed over to her family after a post-mortem, they said.

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Friday donated all his savings worth Rs 51 lakh to the state disaster relief fund to extend a helping hand to the people affected by natural calamities, according to a statement.

The chief minister and his wife Kamlesh Thakur presented a cheque of Rs 51 lakh to Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena at their official residence here, the statement issued here said.

“I could well understand the pain of the people and their plight during the recent monsoon fury in which more than 260 precious lives were lost and many rendered homeless, besides suffering huge losses,” he said.

Every section of society had voluntarily contributed towards the relief fund. Even children broke their piggy banks to help those in distress, the elders parted with their pension and the state government employees contributed generously from their salary to contribute towards the Aapda Raahat Kosh (disaster relief fund), he said.

Earlier, the governments of Bihar, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh had provided help to the tune of Rs 61 crore to the state to meet the relief and rehabilitation requirements. Besides temple trusts, NGOs and individuals have also come forward to help.

Heavy rains in the months of July and August have caused huge damage to the road infrastructure, water supply schemes, buildings and other private and public property.

As many as 272 people have died in rain-related incidents since the onset of monsoon on June 24 till September 14 and the state has suffered losses of Rs 8,680 crore as per the state emergency operation centre and the loss estimates are still pouring in.

The chief minister had claimed that the state has suffered losses of Rs 12,000 crores and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare the calamity in Himachal as a national disaster.

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, during her two-day visit to rain-affected areas of Kullu, Mandi and Shimla on July 12 and 13, had stated that the issue would be raised in the special session of Parliament.

Sukhu had also given away his one year’s salary and contributed Rs 11 lakh towards the state relief fund during the COVID-19 pandemic, the statement said.

Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada (DK) district Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan on Friday reassured the public that there is no cause for concern regarding infectious diseases such as dengue and Nipah virus in the region. In an effort to educate the public about these diseases, their symptoms, transmission, prevention, and treatment, he has directed health officials and local organizations to take proactive measures.

Chairing a meeting at the DC’s office to address the control of infectious diseases, Deputy Commissioner Mullai Muhilan provided valuable insights. He emphasized that there is no need to fear the Nipah virus, provided necessary precautions are taken. He advised people to exercise caution if bats are present near their homes and to avoid consuming fruits that may have been exposed to bites from birds. Properly washing fruits before consumption is essential, and individuals experiencing fever should seek medical attention without delay, he added.

Muhilan urged the health department staff and Asha workers to acquire comprehensive knowledge about Nipah virus symptoms from medical officers and to disseminate this information to the public. He also suggested close coordination with the forest department to identify areas with fruit bats.

The Deputy Commissioner highlighted the significance of active participation from District Wenlock Hospital, Medical Colleges, and primary health centers in combating infectious diseases. Special emphasis was placed on dengue control, which is of paramount importance, especially during the rainy season when stagnant water can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

To mitigate dengue risks, Muhilan recommended identifying mosquito breeding sites and taking immediate remedial measures. Awareness campaigns for dengue control were proposed at both the district and local organization levels, utilizing communication channels like WhatsApp groups. An action plan for larvicidal spraying will be developed, targeting areas with known mosquito breeding concerns. Additionally, fogging, larvicidal spraying, and larval surveys will be conducted promptly upon the discovery of dengue cases, he stated.

A 55-year-old man died and a woman was pulled out alive from the debris after a four-storey residential building that was dilapidated and declared dangerous by civic authorities collapsed in Dombivali East in Maharashtra’s Thane district on Friday, an official said.

The building ‘Adinarayan Bhuvan’, located at Ayre village in Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation limits, had 44 tenements and occupants were being evacuated since Thursday after some part of the structure started sinking, he said.

At round 5:40 pm on Friday, it collapsed, and search and rescue teams pulled out the body of Sunil Birja Lodaya (55) from the debris at around 8pm, he said.

At 9:15pm, 54-year-old Deepti Sunil Lodaya was pulled out alive from the debris and was rushed to a nearby hospital, TMC disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi told PTI.

The rescue operations are underway since one more person is feared trapped, he added.

KDMC chief Bhausaheb Dangde said two persons, who are believed to be unwell, were feared trapped while all other occupants had been evacuated.

“The 50-year-old building was declared dangerous and a notice had been issued asking occupants to vacate. Many had vacated but some had returned to the building,” Dangde told reporters.

The structure was sinking and the process of evacuating occupants began on Thursday evening and was underway at the time it collapsed, he informed.

“It was an unauthorised building and tagged as a dangerous structure by the KDMC earlier,” another official said.

The search and rescue operation of the fire brigade and local disaster management cell was underway at the site under the supervision of Dangde and other senior officials.

Another civic official at the site said there were 40 buildings in the ward that had been declared dangerous, while there were 602 such structures under various categories in KDMC limits.

Replying to a query on civic action on such structures, Dangde said the immediate priority was the search and rescue operations at the site of the collapsed building.

Earlier, Thane Municipal Corporation disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said a team of the Thane Disaster Response Force had also rushed to the site after it got an alert about the building collapse.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday made an announcement regarding the ban on American XL Bully dogs in the United Kingdom. In a video shared on social media, PM Sunak expressed concerns about the breed, labeling them as “dangerous.” 

He revealed that the government plans to outlaw this breed under the Dangerous Dogs Act, with new legislation expected to be in place by the end of the year.

“It’s clear the American XL Bully dog is a danger to our communities. I’ve ordered urgent work to define and ban this breed so we can end these violent attacks and keep people safe,” stated Rishi Sunak in his video message.

In the video, PM Sunak highlighted the need for this ban in response to recent attacks involving American XL Bully dogs within the community. He emphasized that this issue extends beyond isolated incidents of poorly trained dogs and constitutes a recurring pattern of behavior that must be addressed.

Since its posting, the video has rapidly gained traction, amassing over 1.2 million views. While some individuals criticized the Prime Minister’s decision, others expressed support for the breed. Many argued that the responsibility for these incidents lies with the owners rather than the breed itself.

At present, the United Kingdom already has restrictions on four specific dog breeds under the Dangerous Dogs Act: Japanese Tosas, Fila Brasileiros, Dogo Argentinos, and pit bull terriers. Ownership of these banned breeds can result in penalties, including a prison sentence of up to six months and an unlimited fine.
