84 cops on 42 race bikes to tackle traffic chaos in Lucknow
The Lucknow Police Commissionerate on Wednesday launched 42 Racer Mobile units equipped with state-of-the-art traffic management tools. 'These units are expected to play a crucial role in swiftly clearing traffic bottlenecks, especially during high-pressure situations such as cricket matches, religious processions, political rallies, or sudden gridlocks at key junctions. If the need arises, several of them can be called to one place to tackle the situation,' said DCP, traffic, Kamlesh Dixit. Lucknow police commissioner Amrendra Kumar Sengar flagged off the fleet from the Reserve Police Lines, marking a significant upgrade to the city's traffic response capability. 'A key feature of this initiative is the Racer Mobiles' ability to respond instantly in large numbers to any traffic disruption across the city. Whether it's a jam near the stadium during a match, or crowding due to a procession or festival, these bikes will act as the first responders to break the bottleneck and restore flow,' said the DCP traffic. A senior police officer said that cops will also be able to challan those trying to flout traffic norms. The commissioner of police emphasised that these mobile units bring discipline, quick action, and modern technology into the field, and instructed officers to uphold professionalism and swift responsiveness during duty. The mobile teams have been deployed strategically across sensitive routes, busy intersections, and accident-prone zones. With the continued expansion of the commissionerate, this initiative is seen as a key effort to ensure smarter, faster, and more people-centric traffic management in the city.

Those who targeted ‘sindoor' of India's daughters lost their clan: Yogi

(Deepak Gupta/HT Photo) 'Operation Sindoor is a symbol of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army's commitment and sensitivity towards the country's sisters and daughters. The bravery of the armed forces has full support of people,' he said reviewing civil defence preparations during the mock drill in Lucknow. 'Those who tried to snatch the 'sindoor' (vermilion) of India's sisters and daughters had to lose their 'khandaan' (clan),' he added. Terming the Indian forces' response to the Pahalgam terror attack as 'decisive', he said: 'We won't let anyone play with the honour and pride of the nation. The country comes first. Those who conspire against 'Bharat Mata' will have to face the consequences.' Adityanath voiced strong support for the armed forces, asserting that national security remains the top priority — whether in villages, cities, or neighbourhoods. He urged not just NCC cadets, homeguards, and scouts, but every citizen to step forward and support security agencies, stressing that protecting the nation is a shared responsibility. He also congratulated the three armed forces, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the defence minister and the Union Cabinet on behalf of the people of Uttar Pradesh for their firm response to the Pahalgam incident. He offered condolences to the families of Indians who lost their lives in the attack. The CM interacted with officials from various civil defence agencies to assess their preparedness. He said mock drills like these help the general public understand what steps to take in emergencies, which is essential for national security. As soon as the mock drill was launched by the NDRF, sirens went off, followed by a blackout to simulate an enemy airstrike. Civilians moved to safe zones, and once the second siren declared the end of the threat, the injured were given first aid. Firefighters, medical staff, and rescue teams stepped in to assist. Citizens were also trained on how to deal with collapsed structures and chemical attacks.

India says it attacked nine sites in Pakistan, Pakistani Kashmir
Due to the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, the Indian government ordered various states to conduct mock drills, following which a mock drill was conducted by the Civil Defense at the Reserve Police Lines on May 6, 2025 in Lucknow, India. Multiple loud explosions were heard in several places in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday as India said it had attacked "terrorist infrastructure" in nine sites and Pakistan vowed to respond to the attacks. After the explosions, power was blacked out inMuzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, witnesses said. It was not immediately clear what the explosions were. "A little while ago, the Indian armed forces launched 'OPERATION SINDOOR', hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed," the Indian government said in a statement. "Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution," it said. A spokesman for Pakistan's military told broadcaster ARY that India had attacked Pakistan with missiles in three places and that Pakistan would respond. The development comes amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours in the aftermath of an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last month. India blamed Pakistan for the violence in which 26 men were killed and vowed to respond. Pakistan denied that it had anything to do with the killings and said that it had intelligence that India was planning to attack.
