Video: Man boats through flooded Delhi road, AAP mocks BJP's 4-engine government
AAP Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj on Thursday mocked the BJP-led government in the national capital, showing a man boating in the streets of the posh locality of Greater Kailash, and saying, "Looks like boats have started running in Greater Kailash (GK) too — a four-engine government." The rains in the national capital, which have laid bare the city's infrastructure, have become the focal point of the AAP's attack against the Delhi government. Earlier in the day, the main opposition party took another jab, claiming that the 'double-engine' government is failing, citing more than two dozen rain-related deaths in the city. advertisement"In Delhi's rains, all the BJP government's engines have failed. More than two dozen people have already died in Delhi. But the BJP government, busy making reels, is running away from its responsibilities," AAP said earlier in the day. On Saturday, heavy rains resulted in the deaths of eight people and severe flooding in key areas, including a disruption of water supply following the flooding of the Giri Nagar pumping station. The deluge has turned parts of the city impassable, leading to a political spat between AAP and of the Opposition in the Delhi Legislative Assembly, Atishi, criticised the BJP-led government, accusing it of mismanagement. "Mismanagement by the four-engine BJP govt has not only submerged Delhi roads, but caused a water crisis in Kalkaji," she timing of this crisis coincided with Raksha Bandhan, where Atishi lamented the situation, "On Raksha Bandhan, the entire city is submerged. People cannot step out of their homes. The collapse of governance under (Chief Minister) Rekha Gupta's government is preventing brothers from meeting their sisters."Bharadwaj further alleged a lack of transparency in desilting operations in Delhi, citing a missing audit report as evidence. "This shows the government is trying to hide information," Bharadwaj also mocked BJP MP Parvesh Verma's delayed visit to flood-affected areas, saying, "It seems Parvesh doesn't have a watch. Someone please give him one."In contrast, BJP's Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh released videos comparing AAP's 11-year tenure's waterlogged areas to current footage showing improvements, aiming to demonstrate progress under BJP leadership.- EndsMust Watch

Over 4.14 lakh devotees performed Amarnath yatra this year
SRINAGAR: Over 4.14 lakh devotees performed Amarnath yatra from twin routes of Pahalgam in south Kashmir and Batal in central Kashmir this year, said Lt Governor Manoj Sinha at a felicitation ceremony held at Raj Bhawan Auditorium, here on Tuesday. Last year, 5.1 lakh pilgrims had paid obeisance at the Amarnath cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas. 'The enthusiasm and devotion of devotees and successful pilgrimage was a befitting reply to the enemy's design of destabilising peace in J&K UT,' the Lieutenant Governor said. He congratulated people of J&K for making the pilgrimage a rich spiritual experience for devotees. Sinha felicitated the officers of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB), Administration, J&K Police, Army, CAPFs, BRO, service providers, medical professionals, members of Non-Governmental Organisations, and other stakeholders for the successful conduct of Amarnath Yatra this year. 'Amarnath Yatra is a confluence of humanity and faith. Every pilgrim is now a brand ambassador for Jammu Kashmir,' Sinha said. He asked the officials to analyse and apply the experiences and lessons learned from this year's pilgrimage, and take up the works on priority for a better experience of the pilgrims in future. This year's 38-day Amarnath yatra started on July 3. However, the authorities suspended the yatra a week before its scheduled end on August 9 on Raksha Bandhan, citing adverse weather conditions and its impact on the yatra. Shri Amarnath Barfani Langars Organisation (SABLO), the apex body representing various Bhandara (langar) groups serving free food (langars) to pilgrims during the pilgrimage, had objected to premature suspension of the yatra saying the 'arbitrary stoppage amounts to a denial of the fundamental right to worship and is violation of spiritual customs and traditions associated with the yatra'.
