Delhi Confidential: Solid support
Not all in Kerala BJP were happy about the party leadership's intervention in the matter of two Kerala nuns arrested in Chhattisgarh on charges of human trafficking and forced religious conversion, but state BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar was unperturbed as his move was supported by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, it is learnt. According to party insiders, when Chandrasekhar met PM Modi last week, the latter was very supportive of his request. Many say it was Modi's intervention that silenced any resistance within the party in Kerala as well as Chhattisgarh. The PM has repeatedly asked party leaders to woo the Christians in Kerala as a Christian-Hindu consolidation would only help the BJP emerge as an alternative in the state. Post From Past THE ARMY'S Eastern Command on Tuesday shared a news clip on X from August 5, 1971 that highlighted the role of the United States nearly 20 years prior to the 1971 war in arming Pakistan.

The post, shared at a time when the US is threatening India with steeper tariffs over Russian oil trade and Delhi calling it 'unjustified and unreasonable targeting', has raised many eyebrows but military insiders maintain it's a 'sheer coincidence' and not related to the current impasse.

CM to officials: Include views of public reps in action plans
Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath conducted a detailed review of development works for the Agra division in Agra on Tuesday. He announced that there was no shortage of funds for projects but emphasised the need for proper utilisation of the budget. Interacting with officials and public representatives from Agra, Mathura, Firozabad, and Mainpuri, the CM directed officials to coordinate with public representatives over the finalisation of proposals. He warned against delays in approvals, adding that unspent funds undermined govt's intent. Calling the meeting "a mission to ensure development schemes translate into real outcomes" and not just a routine inspection, the CM also stressed the need to bridge the gap between planning and execution of projects by incorporating ground-level feedback from elected representatives into planning. In his interaction with public representatives, Yogi discussed their challenges, asked about public expectations and development priorities of their respective constituencies. He directed officials to ensure that all their suggestions were incorporated into action plans. During a review of the public works department, the CM issued various directions, asking officials to ensure that proposals for roads, bridges, flyovers, bypasses, and inter-state connectivity submitted by MLAs were incorporated into the work plan. He also called for a large-scale pothole-free road campaign to be launched immediately after the monsoon. The CM reminded officials that roads built by contractors are covered under a guarantee period, and any damage during this time must be repaired by the same contractor. He warned of strict action in cases of negligence and directed departments to prepare fresh proposals for constructing small and large bridges over rivers. Tourism department officials informed the CM that 160 projects worth Rs 590 crore were underway in the division. The CM directed them to ensure that roads leading to major urban and rural temples are developed based on the number of devotees using the roads. In his review of the urban development department, the CM's major focus was on waterlogging. He asked local bodies to come up with effective drainage plans. The Agra police commissioner also gave a presentation on action taken under 'Mission Asmita', focused on tackling illegal religious conversions and crime.

MLA Anmol Gagan Mann inaugurates water supply project
1 2 Mohali: MLA Anmol Gagan Mann on Tuesday inaugurated the construction of the first phase of the Rs 22.15 crore surface water supply project at New Sunny Enclave, Jandpur Road, Kharar. Addressing the public gathering, MLA Mann stated that the long-standing commitment to provide surface water supply from Kajauli Water Works Pipeline was fulfilled with the commencement of pipeline laying. The first phase of the project, slated for completion by September 2026, marks a significant step towards ensuring clean and sustainable water supply for Kharar residents. She informed that the entire Kajauli Water Supply Project is estimated at Rs 150 crore, with Tuesday's launched phase accounting for Rs 22.15 crore. The first phase will benefit the localities of Jhungian, Mandair Nagar, Harlalpur, Jandpur, and Chandigarh Road area. Subsequent phases will extend the coverage to the remaining parts of Kharar city. Under this project, water will be sourced from the existing GMADA Clear Water Pipeline at Sihnpur, which channels water from Kajauli to Mohali. This water will be stored in an upcoming Underground Service Reservoir (UGSR) of 54 lakh litres capacity at Jandpur, near the Community Centre, from where it will be distributed through an extensive pipeline network. To maintain consistent water pressure and supply, two overhead water tanks of 18 lakh litres and 9 lakh litres capacity will be constructed at Jandpur and Mandair Nagar, respectively. A total of 8.1 km of Ductile Iron (DI) supply pipelines will be laid during this phase. "This project was a key promise I made to the people of Kharar. Today, I am more than happy to keep my word and ensure that our residents get access to surface water supply," said MLA Mann. She added that major civic demands, including sewage treatment plants and water supply, were already addressed, and she will remain committed to resolving other pending issues in the coming days.
