Even as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government tried to downplay the nationwide ‘Chakka Jam’ protests observed by farmers, the world media took note of the ‘Chakka Jam’ protests. Armed police came out in large numbers across Delhi. Nearly 10 metro stations in central Delhi were . shut down for six hours on Saturday Many protesters said it was to create a false narrative of Khalistanis on the prowl in the national capital to create another spurt of violence at the Red Fort and other parts on the . Republic Day Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait said that they have given the Modi-government time till October 2 to repeal the controversial farm laws. “After this, we will do further planning. We won’t hold discussions with the government under pressure,” Tikait said. Fear was writ large on the people coming out of their homes to unusual security blanket covers. Fortunately, there was no violence in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabadh in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Claiming that the ruling Trinamool Congress government looted the ‘Ma Mati and Manush’, Nadda said that if voted to power, the BJP will first implement ‘Ayushman Bharat’ in West Bengal. Addressing a rally at Nabadwip after the first Rath started, the BJP chief alleged that despite swearing in the name of the motherland, the TMC supremo didn’t do anything for the benefit of the people. “The people of West Ben- gal are desperate to get another change as the ruling Trinamool Congress government didn’t do anything for the people and just kept on giving false hopes. In the last 10 years, The Mamata government just looted ‘Ma’, ‘Mati’ was disrespected and ‘Manush’ weren’t protected, said Nadda at the Rath Yatra, which the BJP is dubbing as ‘Parivartan Yatra’. Nadda, who was seen paying darshan to Lord Gouranga before flagging off the yatra, said that the BJP’s Parivartan Yatra signifies the ‘parivartan in the governance and status of the people in Bengal’. Notably the saffron camp , has planned five such Biden admin delays Trump’s H-1B policy The Biden administration has announced that it is delaying the H-1B policy of the previous Trump administration on allocation of the popular foreign work visas by continuing with the lottery system until December 31, 2021, to give the immigration agency more time to develop, test and implement the modifications to the registration system.

With Bengal Assembly polls scheduled in a couple of months, the BJP is leaving no stones unturned to woo the voters by bringing in more central leaders in West Bengal.

DRI remains committed to combating smuggling and drugs menace. Two months ago, the DRI had seized around 1700 kg Ganja in Bhopal and 117 Kg Charas in Narsinghpur.

The countries with the largest number of Telegram installs were India at 24 per cent, followed by Indonesia at 10 per cent. Telegram reached the top position in the overall downloads (non-game) on Google Play Store moving from ninth position in the previous month, December 2020. The app also entered the list of top 10 most downloaded (non-game) apps on App Store, directly gaining the fourth position.
