Kanwar pilgrims vandalise car, attack driver after vehicle hits man in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad: A group of kanwar pilgrims assaulted a car driver and vandalised his vehicle with sticks and rods in Muradnagar on Tuesday night. Police said the pilgrims were returning from Haridwar when the Swift allegedly hit one of the pilgrims from behind on Delhi-Meerut Road near NH-34. Videos of the scuffle showed a crowd surrounding the vehicle and smashing its window and shield. The driver, Rajeev Sharma, was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time. The pilgrims pulled him out of the car and thrashed him brutally. He was later arrested. According to cops, six men—Om, Harkesh, Shagun, Shyam, Anuj and Shivam—residents of Mewat in Haryana had halted near Mahendrapuri Gate to rest while returning from Haridwar with Ganga water.

Enraged, the other men chased the car and pulled out the driver from the vehicle and thrashed him badly. The men also damaged his vehicle," a police officer said. The chaos hit traffic movement in the area for nearly 30 minutes before a police team reached the spot and pacified the pilgrims. ACP Modinagar Gyan Prakash Rai said cops took the driver to a nearby hospital for treatment and later arrested him. Sharma was on his way home from his office at the time of the accident. Medical tests confirmed he was under the influence of alcohol. "Sharma was booked under BNS Section 170 (prevention of cognisable offence). We have seized his car," he said. The annual pilgrimage, where devotees collect Ganga water from Haridwar, sees pilgrims using three main routes through Ghaziabad every year. While those on foot primarily use the Pipeline Road from Loni Border to Niwari, dak kanwariyas predominantly utilise the DME. NH-34 via GT Road is another popular route. Despite restrictions on traffic movement on these routes, road rage cases involving pilgrims are reported every year. On July 28 last year, a Bolero was vandalised and overturned by a group of pilgrims near Duhai metro station and its driver, Avnish Tyagi, was assaulted. Tyagi had allegedly entered the kanwar route and accidentally hit one of the pilgrims. The incident came just a few days after a Honda City driver, who entered a lane reserved for the movement of pilgrims and hit one of them, was beaten up with rods and sticks on the Delhi-Meerut Road in Muradnagar. With the pilgrimage is set to commence from Friday, cops have drawn up an elaborate traffic management plan to avoid snarls. Traffic restrictions have been imposed on heavy vehicles from Kashi toll plaza in Meerut to UP Gate from July 11, followed by a complete ban on cars and light vehicles from July 19. Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) is to remain closed for regular traffic for five days starting July 19.

Stellantis may close factories due to EU fines for carbon emissions
Stellantis may have to close factories due to the risk of hefty EU fines for not complying with CO2 emission targets, the head of the Franco-Italian carmaker for Europe said on Tuesday. European car manufacturers have to sell more electric vehicles to cut CO2 emissions or risk penalties as part of the bloc's efforts to limit the catastrophic effects of climate change. The carmaker industry has successfully lobbied for more time to comply as fines will be based on 2025 to 2027 emissions rather than only in 2025. Stellantis' Europe chief Jean-Philippe Imparato said the targets were unreachable for carmakers, and exposed his company to fines of up to €2.5bn (R51,948,170,730) within "two to three years". Speaking at a conference in the lower house of parliament in Rome, he said without significant changes in the regulatory situation by the end of this year "we will have to make tough decisions". This is because Stellantis would either have to double its electric vehicle sales, which is impossible, or cut the production of petrol and diesel vehicles, Imparato said, to improve the energy mix of its fleet in favour of electric. "I have two solutions: either I push like hell (on electric) or I close down ICE (internal combustion engine vehicles). And therefore I close down factories," he said, at one point mentioning the Italian van-making plant of Atessa.
