Student dies in mishap at time of I-Day function in Jodhpur
1 2 Jodhpur: A 12-year-old school student died here after being hit by a dumper truck early morning on Independence Day, while three other students accompanying him were seriously injured. All four were heading to their school on one motorcycle. Enraged family members and local residents staged a protest and blocked the road at Panchbatti Chowk. They were joined by Congress leaders to support their demands. They demanded strict action against the guilty dumper driver, along with compensation, an impartial investigation, and a job for one member of the family. After several hours of discussions, the protest was called off following an assurance of immediate financial aid of Rs 11 lakh from the CM Relief Fund, along with a promise to provide a contractual job to one dependent of the family and to extend benefits of govt schemes by the administration. This incident took place at a time when Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma was scheduled to attend an Independence Day programme at the Shaheed Memorial in Jodhpur, barely a few meters away from the accident spot. As soon as news of the accident spread, panic spread through the police administration. In view of the chief minister's visit, a large police force immediately reached the spot and tried to bring the situation under control. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

SHO (Airport) Ramkrishna Tada said all four children were on the same bike, were minors, and not wearing any helmets. "In front of Hotel Radisson, their bike skidded and they fell down while overtaking a small truck loaded with stones.

Disturbing that PM's I-Day speech didn't have Nehru's mention: Pawar
1 2 Pune: NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday was critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech and said not mentioning the name of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was "disturbing". "I heard the Prime Minister's speech from the Red Fort. It was very disturbing that he did not mention Nehru in his entire speech," Pawar said in a private function in Pune, reacting to Modi's speech. "Nehru gave important years of his youth to the freedom struggle of India. After independence, he led the country and spread the message of peace worldwide. Even after his immense contribution, his name was not taken by the Prime Minister, which was unfortunate," the veteran politician said.
