weather updates: heatwave in north India; 14 killed as Mizoram stone quarry collapses in heavy rain

Published

on

As a result of cyclone Remal, a stone quarry collapsed in Mizoram’s Aizawl district on Tuesday morning, leaving at least 14 persons dead and dozens more missing. The incident happened in the midst of constant rain. The incident happened in the vicinity of Melthum and Hlimen, on the southern edge of Aizawl town, at around six in the morning.

People in north India are suffering from a scorching heatwave while torrential showers pound several northeastern regions. There is a red alert in effect until May 29 in several northern states, including areas of Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi-NCR, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). On Tuesday, the national capital’s high temperature is predicted to reach 46 degrees Celsius.

The IMD’s seven-day prediction states that till May 30, the temperature in Delhi and the surrounding cities is predicted to stay above 45 degrees Celsius. After that, there will be a slight decrease in temperature. The weather service also forecasted a humid June and a monsoon that was “above normal” for the northern states.

Aftereffects of Cyclone Remal

On Sunday, Cyclone Remal made landfall in West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh, wreaking havoc on power lines and other infrastructure. Four electrocutions in Bengal on Monday night brought the cyclone’s death toll to 16.

On Monday, there were periods of intense rain in the northeastern states of Mizoram and Tripura. Aizawl, Mizoram: Cyclone Remal’s constant rains forced a stone quarry to collapse, resulting in ten fatalities and other missing persons. In addition, Tripura saw the cancellation of flights following the issuance of a red warning owing to strong thunderstorms and heavy rain.

Additionally, the IMD forecast that till May 30, cyclonic disturbances may result in light to moderate rainfall in several areas of Karnataka. For a few days, Kerala can also expect gusty winds and little rain. Nevertheless, Cyclone Remal’s depression in the Bay of Bengal is too far away to have a significant impact on the southern states.

With winds of up to 135 mph, Cyclone Remal made landfall on Sunday night between Sagar Island in West Bengal and Khepupara in Bangladesh.

At least two people have died as a result of landslides caused by the rain in multiple other locations throughout the state.

Three people vanished when a landslip in Aizawl’s Salem Veng destroyed a structure. They are being sought after, according to an official.

A landslip on National Highway 6 at Hunthar has blocked off the state capital from the rest of the nation, according to officials.

Furthermore, they added that landslides have also caused disruptions to a number of intra-state roadways.

To assess the situation, Chief Minister Lalduhoma called an urgent conference with K Sapdanga, the Home Minister, Chief Secretary Renu Sharma, and other top officials.

All government employees were instructed to work from home, with the exception of those who provided critical services, while all schools were closed due to the rain.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasted strong showers and thunderstorms for the next several days in the eastern, northeastern, and southern regions of the nation, while the northern states of India struggle with oppressive heat and rising temperatures. Cyclone Remal, which made landfall on the Bay of Bengal coast on Monday, is to blame for the sharp change in weather that has occurred in the eastern states.

Up until May 29, several northern states, including portions of Punjab, Haryana, and the Delhi NCR, were under a red alert, according to the MeT department. On Tuesday, the national capital’s high temperature is predicted to reach 46 degrees Celsius.

Amit Shah will preside over a high-level Manipur meeting.

Published

on

Monday night’s meeting to assess the security situation in Manipur will be facilitated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. This is the first high-level gathering of its kind held by the central government since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was re-elected earlier this month.

Senior representatives from the federal government, state governments, including chief minister N Biren Singh, the army, and other security agencies are anticipated to attend the meeting at 4 p.m., according to people with knowledge of the development.

Manipur has seen fighting between the Kukis and Meiteis communities since May 3 of last year. The fighting has resulted in at least 225 deaths to far and the displacement of almost 50,000 people, the majority of whom are still living in relief shelters.

The previous few weeks have seen new acts of violence in the northeastern state, including the burning of a school facility close to Moreh and the discovery of the beheaded body of a missing individual.

In the Kangpokpi district last week, armed terrorists assaulted the vehicle of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s enhanced security team, injuring a security officer and a civilian driver.

Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stated on June 10 that Manipur has been waiting for peace for a year and that this problem has to be given priority.

Bhagwat emphasised the importance of putting aside political hyperbole and concentrating on the issues confronting the country.

Dattatreya Hosabale, the general secretary of the RSS, called the current violence in Manipur “painful” and “worrisome.”

The Sangh, according to a statement, feels that the only way to solve any issue is “through mutual dialogue and expression of brotherhood in a peaceful atmosphere.”

In an attempt to mediate peace, Shah had earlier travelled to Manipur last month and convened nine talks with leaders of the Kuki and Meitei groups. Despite this, the violence has not decreased.

Sunita Kejriwal is requested by the Delhi High Court to remove Arvind Kejriwal’s court footage from social media.

Published

on

The wife of chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Sunita Kejriwal, has been ordered by the Delhi High Court to remove a video of her husband speaking to a Delhi court from her social media accounts. The social media companies have also been ordered by the court to remove posts that contain links to the video.

In addition, the high court has sent notices to all parties involved in the PIL, which was filed by lawyer Vaibhav Singh, alleging that Kejriwal’s appearance before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on March 28 violated the court’s regulations regarding video conferencing.

Among the five people requested to remove the social media posts is Sunita Kejriwal.

The court has set July 9 for the hearing.

On March 28, Arvind Kejriwal personally addressed Special Judge (PC Act) Kaveri Baweja after being brought before the court a second time after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.

Sunita Kejriwal reposted the images after the audio and video recordings of the speech went viral on social media.

When films with comparable content are brought to their attention, the Delhi High Court ordered X, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to remove them.

The notice on the PIL filed by the Delhi-based attorney Vaibhav Singh was issued by a division bench made up of Justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Amit Sharma.

After he disregarded nine summonses from the Enforcement Directorate, Arvind Kejriwal was taken into custody on March 21 in relation to the excise policy fraud. Subsequently, the Delhi High Court affirmed the agency’s decision.

Later, Arvind Kejriwal petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn his arrest.

In order to enable Kejriwal to campaign for his Aam Aadmi Party during the Lok Sabha elections, the Supreme Court granted him temporary release in May for a period of 21 days.

On June 2, he turned himself in to the Tihar Jail officials per the Supreme Court’s directive.

The former bureaucrat Sunita Kejriwal had spent a great deal of time campaigning for the AAP during the Lok Sabha elections. But the party was unable to secure a single seat in the nation’s capital.
