Heramba Sankashti Chaturthi 2025: Significance
According to Hindu Scriptures, Sankashti Chaturthi holds a special significance as this day is devoted to worship Lord Ganesha.
Devotees observe a fast from dawn to dusk and offer fervent prayers to Lord Ganesha on this day, which is solely dedicated to honoring him. Every Sankasthi Chaturthi has a unique history and tale connected to Ganesha Ji. One of the most affectionate gods is Lord Vinayak, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
He is also regarded as the first deity to be worshipped, and no puja ritual or auspicious activity is performed without worshiping him first.

Residents' body flags water, sewer, road issues in meeting with Noida Authority
Noida: The GB Nagar District Development Residents Welfare Association (DDRWA) has urged the Noida Authority to address a slew of civic issues, from erratic water supply and overflowing sewers to damaged roads, encroachments and unauthorised extensions. At a meeting with authority officials, RWA general secretary of blocks C to F, Sector 51 Sanjeev Kumar said residents in the sector had received visibly contaminated water on Tuesday after a four-day disruption last week due to a Ganga water shutdown from Haridwar. "The supply today had moving particles clearly visible in a glass tumbler. The Ganga water line bursts every second day, and at other times it is shut from Haridwar due to silt deposits. Sewers in every sector overflow without checks, and even after complaints, there is no hearing," said Kumar, who is also DDRWA's senior vice-president. DDRWA president N.P. Singh pressed for urgent redress, to which Noida Authority general manager R.P. Singh responded that while the Ganga water issue had been resolved, sewer complaints would be prioritised. "As soon as we get the complaints in writing, we will resolve the issue within two days," he assured. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Become Fluent in Any Language Talkpal AI Sign Up Undo You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida | Gold Rates Today in Noida | Silver Rates Today in Noida The meeting also took up the Authority's Section 10 notices, issued under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976, for unauthorised constructions. Members alleged that officials often "settle" such notices informally and urged that instead, the Authority levy fees at circle rates for regularisation, allowing the government to generate revenue. There was no official response to the proposal. The city's long-pending dog policy also came under discussion, with residents demanding its immediate implementation to curb recurring incidents of stray and pet dog attacks. N.P. Singh requested that large boards displaying the policy's key provisions be installed at major parks and sector gates. Authority GM S.P. Singh assured that the boards would be put up within a week. Other issues raised included road repairs, tree pruning, encroachment removal and sanitation in residential sectors. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

NGT seeks DJB report on sewer line work in Sangam Vihar unauthorised colonies

Sewer lines have been laid in 8 of the 11 such colonies. DJB further stated that of the unauthorised colonies in the forested land, 11 were partially in the forest area while 22 colonies were completely in the forest area.
