Massive Security Blanket For 103rd Urs at Tajbagh, Cops On High Alert

Police personnel will be stationed in day and night shifts across sectors. Key zones include the inner and outer perimeters of the dargah, the route from Dome and Y Point to Bullet Gate, Shahenshah Chowk, Chhota Taj Bagh, and Hussain Baba Dargah. A central control room at Bada Taj Bagh will coordinate operations in real time.
Singal issued clear instructions to officers in charge, with special focus on identifying pressure points, managing dense crowds, monitoring power supply setups, and ensuring safety around temporary fair structures and entertainment stalls.

New York City police responded to a deadly shooting incident Monday evening, July 28, on Park Avenue in Manhattan, where an armed suspect opened fire, killing four people, including an NYPD officer. The gunman later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to CNN, surveillance footage showed a man entering the building while carrying a long rifle. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that the "lone shooter has been neutralized." Authorities said the attacker acted alone and is now deceased.

While authorities have yet to release a full official profile, unconfirmed reports suggest Tamura was a former football player who graduated high school in 2016 and played as a standout running back at Granada Hills. Live Events He reportedly held a concealed firearms permit issued by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in 2022, which was valid for two years. The weapon used in the attack was identified as a .223-caliber AR-15-style rifle made by Palmetto State Armory, retailing for around $420. Some speculative reports circulating on social media have pointed to Tamura's alleged disappointment over not making it to the NFL as a potential motive, given that the building houses NFL headquarters. However, these claims remain unverified, and police have not commented on any motive at this time. New York City Mayor Eric Adams urged residents to avoid the area around Park Avenue and East 51st Street, as emergency services responded to the active scene. 'New Yorkers: there is an active shooter investigation taking place in midtown right now,' Adams wrote in a X post. 'Please take proper safety precautions if you are in vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street.'

SC questions Gr Noida varsity delay in reporting student suicide, calls for ‘lawful' probe
New Delhi The bench refused to pass any further order, directing the probe to proceed. (Representative photo) The Supreme Court on Monday called for the probe into student suicide deaths at Sharda University and IIT Kharagpur to proceed 'expeditiously, in accordance with the law', while questioning the silence of Sharda University in reporting the incident and directing IIT Kharagpur to ascertain the reason for four student deaths at the institute over the past seven months. A bench of justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan had taken suo motu cognisance of the two incidents as part of its broader directions passed in March for setting up a National Task Force (NTF) to identify causes behind increasing student suicides. 'We are doing this for our children, our progeny,' it said, as it took up responses filed by the two educational institutions explaining their conduct. The court was informed by amicus curiae senior advocate Aparna Bhat that in the Sharda University case, the complaint was lodged by the student's parent after two hours had lapsed since the discovery of the body at the college hostel room on July 18. Bhat pointed out that the father was informed of the incident by students, and that the management failed to inform the police and parents. 'You (management) should have informed…Was it not your duty to immediately inform the police and parents?' the bench asked senior advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for the university. The amicus curiae told the court that a note left by the student, a 24-year-old second-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) student, led to the arrest of two members of the faculty. The bench refused to pass any further order, while noting, 'Our concern was the investigation should proceed. We will not say anything further as it may prejudice the investigation.' The court also sought to know the progress of the investigation into the death reported from IIT Kharagpur. The amicus pointed out that the IIT administration had informed the police after they discovered that a fourth-year student had committed suicide in the hostel room. The incident took place soon after he joined classes upon returning from vacation at home. The court said, 'What is wrong with IIT Kharagpur? Why are students committing suicide? Have you given it any thought?' Senior advocate MR Shamshad, appearing for the IIT administration, told the court that a 10-member committee has been constituted to probe the present incident. He said that, in addition, a 12-member counselling committee was established by the institute for students to report their problems. Bhat informed the court that she could not carry out a spot visit to IIT Kharagpur, but confirmed that a complaint was lodged, converted into an FIR, and an investigation is ongoing. 'Let investigation in both matters proceed expeditiously in accordance with law and in the right direction,' the court said in its order, while posting the matter after four weeks. In March, the court constituted a National Task Force (NTF) to probe into the larger issue of student suicides across the country and the systemic changes required to address this issue. The NTF is headed by former Supreme Court judge S Ravindra Bhat and is expected to submit its preliminary report in September.
