CMC cracks down on illegal water bottling units amid diarrhoea outbreak
Cuttack: The Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) sealed two illegal water bottling units in Shankarpur's Das Sahi area on Wednesday, amid rising concerns over a diarrhoea outbreak in Odisha linked to contaminated water consumption. The raid, conducted by the municipal health wing following specific complaints, revealed serious violations of hygiene and licensing norms at both facilities. "These units were operating without any safety standards or proper documentation," CMC mayor Subhash Singh said, adding, "Such negligence during a diarrhoeal outbreak is unacceptable." The mayor confirmed that both units have been sealed until further notice. Officials found the facilities lacking basic filtration systems and disinfection mechanisms. A local resident, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the units had been operating for years while flouting safety guidelines. "Large quantities of untreated water were being bottled and distributed in the local market, posing a serious health threat to consumers," the resident added. The enforcement action was carried out jointly by the municipal health team and CMC enforcement squad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không?

Ghaziabad: 2 men on morning walk killed by speeding car
An unidentified speeding vehicle hit and killed two men on their morning walk near the rotary area of the Hindon elevated road in Ghaziabad at 6am on Friday, and then sped away, police said. Police rushed the two to a hospital where they were declared dead on arrival. Police have launched a search for the car and the driver. The victims were identified as Subhash Singh, 57, and his neighbour, Kamlesh Yadav, 45, residents of Brij Nagri in Nandgram, police said. 'The victims had gone for a morning walk and were hit by a speeding car, probably a Swift Dzire, near the rotary of the Hindon elevated road. Passerby informed us and we rushed them to a hospital. Both were declared dead by doctors. We will soon lodge a first information report against the unidentified driver. He fled with the vehicle soon after the incident and did not stop. We are trying to get footage from nearby CCTVs and will soon trace the suspect,' said Poonam Mishra, assistant commissioner of police of Nandgram circle. The rotary is the start/exit point of the 10.3km Hindon elevated road, which connects with the border of East Delhi. The road allows signal-free movement from Ghaziabad to Delhi. 'The two were probably crossing the road when the vehicle hit them. It was early morning so our traffic personnel were not present for duty. However, CCTVs are being scanned to get clues to the incident. The case will be investigated by Nandgram police station,' said Sacchidanand, additional deputy commissioner of police (traffic). According to the families of the victims, the two were friends and regularly went for morning walks in the nearby city forest. 'Both used to go around 5am and return by 6am. On Friday, some of our neighbours who also had gone for a walk informed us about the accident. We rushed to the scene but police had already arrived and were taking them to hospital. Our neighbour Kamlesh Yadav suffered multiple fractures to his leg and fell on the other side of the road divider. My father suffered multiple fractures to his head and severe head injuries, which led to his death,' said Atul Singh, son of Subhash Singh. The families of both victims have given a written complaint to the police. Based on a complaint by the family of the victims, the Nandgram police station registered an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 281 (rash driving on public way), and 106(1) (causing death by negligence) against the unidentified driver.

Out for morning walk, two friends die in hit & run in Ghazaiabad
Ghaziabad: Two neighbours who'd been friends for a decade were run over at the Rotary roundabout in Raj Nagar Extension while they were on an early morning walk, a ritual they had followed for years, on Friday. According to police, Subhash Singh (57) and Kamlesh Yadav (45), residents of Brij Nagri in Nandgram, left for the walk around 5am. They were on their way back around 5.30am when a four-wheeler rammed into them from the back. Its driver sped away. Kamlesh's son Atul told TOI some neighbours informed the family about the accident. "We reached the spot and took them to a nearby hospital. Both of them succumbed to their injuries within an hour," Atul said. Atul, a BJP functionary, said his father was the RWA president of the colony and Subhash was an e-rickshaw driver. "They had been friends for 10 years and were living in the area for the past five years. When Covid-19 happened, they decided to go for morning walks to become fit. They'd leave at 5am and return by 6am," Atul said. Nandgram ACP Poonam Mishra said a police team was rushed to the spot of the accident on Friday morning and was trying to gather information about the vehicle that hit the two men. "We have registered an FIR against an unknown driver under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving or riding on a public place) of BNS at the Nandgram police station," the ACP said. Atul said there were few eyewitnesses near the roundabout at the time of the crash. The ACP said two teams have been formed to investigate the case. "Police are also checking CCTV footage of nearby areas to identify the vehicle," she said. 18 injured in DME accident Eighteen people on a Tempo Traveller were injured after its driver fell asleep at the wheel and collided with another vehicle on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near Modinagar in the city on Friday.
