Delhi: JP Nadda joins veterans in Defence Colony for Mann Ki Baat
BJP National President and Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Sunday led the party's Delhi unit leaders in tuning in to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' radio show in the company of veterans. Nadda listened to the 'Mann Ki Baat' programme at Defence Colony along with Vinod Tawde, Baijayant Jay Panda, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, Bansuri Swaraj, and retired army officers at an event coordinated by local MLA Neeraj Basoya. Additionally, the Delhi BJP made arrangements for the public to listen to the programme across 14 organisational districts. Sachdeva stated that PM Modi consistently strives to bring positive stories and initiatives from across the country to the public through Mann Ki Baat. As a result, the programme has now become a people's movement. He added that the way PM Modi highlighted how science in the 21st century is rapidly progressing with renewed energy is commendable. He mentioned the recent success of Indian students at the International Chemistry Olympiad and that students also won three golds, two silvers, and one bronze medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad held in Australia — a matter of great pride. Elsewhere, Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra and Delhi BJP's Organisational General Secretary Pawan Rana listened to the programme in Gharauli, East Delhi, with Mayur Vihar District President Vijendra Dhama and party workers. Earlier, the Delhi BJP President paid tribute to the three civil services aspirants who tragically drowned on July 27, 2024, due to sewer backflow in the basement of a coaching centre in Rajendra Nagar, as well as a student who died from electrocution due to a hanging wire in Patel Nagar. Sachdeva stated that due to criminal negligence and corruption by the Arvind Kejriwal government, no proper cleaning of drains and sewers was carried out in 2024, which led to the untimely deaths of these four talented students – Naveen Dalwin, Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni, and Nilesh Rai – along with nearly 50 other citizens of various ages, who died due to drowning in waterlogged areas. The Bharatiya Janata Party had promised in its 2025 election manifesto that it would seriously address the issue of waterlogging, and we are satisfied that our government has managed to keep waterlogging to a minimum. Sachdeva further stated that the BJP-led Delhi government had pledged to prevent the recurrence of such accidents in Rajendra Nagar, Patel Nagar, Moti Nagar, Burari, Kirari, and other areas. 'We are proud that, unlike last year when over 50 lives were lost due to waterlogging in Delhi, no such incidents occurred this year due to the vigilance and preparedness of the government,' he said.

The memory of these immortal fighters will continue to awaken our consciousness for generations. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.' Speaking at another ceremony in AB Block, Shalimar Bagh, Gupta said the battle for Kargil was not just about land but 'about safeguarding India's honour, sovereignty, and collective resolve.'

The Delhi BJP held 140 events across its 14 organisational districts, including tricolour processions, victory marches, lectures in schools and colleges, and tribute ceremonies at memorials. Families of soldiers who were killed in action were also felicitated. 'Today is a day of valour, pride, and triumph for our armed forces—a moment of pride for every Indian,' said Sachdeva. 'The Kargil War, fought under then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, saw the Indian Army decisively defeat Pakistan-supported terrorism.' In South Delhi, MP Ramveer Singh Bidhuri led a torch procession at Ratia Marg, Sangam Vihar, attended by hundreds. Another march was held at the DM office in Kapashera. 'The day instills a feeling of patriotism among the people,' he said.

CM to celebrate b'day quietly in ancestral village
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta will keep her birthday on Saturday, July 19, a "low-key affair" and celebrate it at her ancestral village Nandgarh, in Haryana's Julana district. Officials said the chief minister will leave for her village early on Saturday and attend a few programmes there before spending some time with differently abled children. According to the official programme shared by CM's office, apart from spending time with her family, Gupta will attend a public meeting in Nandgarh village and lay the foundation stone of various projects in Julana. Sources said Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini is also likely to call on Gupta in her village. A Delhi BJP spokesperson said the chief minister will also plant a tree in the name of her mother under the party's ongoing programme 'Ek Ped Maa ke Naam'. The party spokesperson said CM may make a new beginning. "She considers exchanging flower bouquets as an unfruitful splashing, which needs to be curbed. That's why she has decided to keep her birthday as a personal affair and avoid the queuing up of people to meet and wish her by offering flower bouquets," said the BJP spokesperson.

The Delhi police on Sunday detained an e-rickshaw driver after shards of glass were found scattered on a road along the Kanwar Yatra route in north-east Delhi's Shahdara, raising concern over the safety of the pilgrims walking barefoot. 'A case was registered based on a complaint filed by a junior engineer of the Public Works Department,' said the police. Sources said that, after examining CCTV footage, the police found that an e-rickshaw carrying glass panels had passed through the area.

The glasses broke during the journey to the destination. The driver has been identified and detained for further questioning,' the police said. Following the incident, police personnel were deployed in the area for the Kanwar Yatra, which is a 12-day pilgrimage carried out by Lord Shiva devotees. The incident came to light after Delhi Cabinet Minister Kapil Mishra took to social media, assuring stringent action against the perpetrator. In an X post, he informed that PWD and corporation employees have cleared the road in the presence of Shahdara MLA Sanjay Goyal. Terming the incident 'extremely unfortunate', Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said, 'While the Delhi government is making excellent arrangements for the service of pilgrims, some people are attempting to disrupt peace in the name of religious politics.'
