Pune: Efforts of three passersby to rescue a woman who fell into a stormwater channel failed as she was swept away by water in an overflowing nullah near Navale Bridge in the Narhe area during the heavy rain on Thursday night. After failing in their effort, one of them alerted the police control room about the accident. A fire brigade team found the body of the woman, Shobha Mahimane (64), on Friday following an over 15-hour search. Pradip Khedekar, an official of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC)'s fire brigade involved in the search, told TOI: "Her body was found near the Warje crematorium, where the nullah merges with the river, almost 4-5km from the accident spot. Earlier in the day, we had found her footwear and clothes." Rahul Khilare, inspector (Crime) at the Bharti Vidyapeeth police station, told TOI that the woman had arrived from Kolhapur with some relatives in a car after attending a wedding. She was dropped by the relatives at Narhe. They had told her to stay overnight in another relative's house in Katraj, instead of travelling all the way to Phursungi because of heavy rain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He said, "She was trying to cross the highway and reach the service road to find an autorickshaw when the accident occurred.

Ayodhya, Barabanki admins say no to two Urs over law & order concerns
Ayodhya: Local administrations in Ayodhya and Barabanki have refused to grant permissions for organising two separate 'Urs' ceremonies that have been held in the districts for the past several years on grounds that the two events could lead to breach of peace and a law & order crisis. One of these Urs was an annual affair held at the shrine of Dada Miya in the Khanpur Masodha area of Ayodhya. The other relates to the Urs of Syed Shakeel Baba, which, too, has been an annual event for the last 75 years, held at Phoolpur area of Barabanki. Following a complaint from the activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad , the Ayodhya administration cancelled the permission for the Dada Miya Urs. The complainants claimed that a gathering was being organized in the name of 'Ghazi Baba' (a reference to Syed Salar Masood of Bahraich) at these Urs events. Subsequent police investigation revealed that the organizers obtained permission from local administration for organising an event under the name of 'Urs Dada Miya' but they were found collecting donations by printing receipts under the name of 'Ghazi Baba Urs'. The permission granted under the name of 'Urs Dada Miya' has been revoked as it was found that 'Urs' was under the name of Ghazi Baba, said Ayodhya circle officer Ashutosh Tiwari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In Mohammadpur Khala police station area in Barabanki district, the four-day Urs of Syed Shakeel Baba that was traditionally being held for 75 years, has also been denied nod due to concerns over law and order and potential unrest. Barabanki additional SP Vikas Tripathi said, "Some disputes have emerged that may lead to communal tension and unrest. IN view of this, the administration has refused to grant permission for the Urs." In May, the Bahraich district administration had denied nod for the annual Jeth Mela, held at the dargah of Syed Salar Masood, citing an LIU report flagging law and order concerns. Before this, the state government had denied permission for holding the Sambhal's Neja Mela, also in the name of Salar Masood. In Gorakhpur, the iconic Bale Miyan fair held in memory of Salar Masood—locally called Bale Miyan—was scheduled to begin on May 18. However, the district administration did not grant the necessary security clearance, effectively stalling the fair. This was followed by CM Yogi Adityanath's assertion that glorification of invaders amounted to treason which an "independent India will not tolerate". Salar Masood, a semi-legendary figure, is believed to be the nephew of Mahmud of Ghazni and served as his military commander. The main source of information about him is contained in Mirat-i-Masudi, a Persian-language hagiography written by Abdur Rahman Chishti during the reign of Jahangir. According to Mirat-i-Masudi, Ghazi was killed in a battle with Maharaja Suheldev of Shravasti at Bahraich in 1034 CE. Where he is believed to have been buried is now the Dargah Sharif in Bahraich. On June 10, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated a 40-foot-high statue of Maharaja Suheldev, an icon of the Rajbhar community, in Bahraich. Speaking on the occasion, the CM said no event celebrating foreign aggressors should be allowed in the state. He proposed that a three-day 'Vijayotsav' should be celebrated from next year onwards to commemorate Maharaja Suheldev's victory over Syed Salar Masood in the Battle of Bahraich.
