I am sure that after the removal of this Article, we will be successful in completely eradicating terrorism and the ideas promoting terrorism in the area.”

“Within the next 10 years, Jammu and Kashmir will be one of the most developed regions of the country and the journey of development has begun with Vande Bharat Express which is set to boost development and promote religious tourism,” he said. 

Shah also said he was proud that the train being flagged-off was ‘Made in India’.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hailed the new service on Twitter calling it, “A Navratri gift for my sisters and brothers of Jammu as well as devotees of Maa Vaishno Devi!”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Train number 22439 New Delhi-Katra Vande Bharat Express will depart from the New Delhi railway station at 6 am to reach Katra at 2 pm.  En route, the train will halt at Ambala Cantonment, Ludhiana and Jammu Tawi for two minutes each.

 The train will run on all days of the week except Tuesdays.

 The minimum fare for travelling between New Delhi (NDLS) to Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra (SVDK) will be Rs 1,630 and the maximum will be Rs 3,015.

The luxury all air-conditioned chair car service, with 16 coaches, is engine-less and self-propelled. This allows for faster acceleration and deceleration, therefore reducing travel time by 40 percent.

The new train has a bigger pantry compared to the first Train 18 or Vande Bharat Express. It also has windows with a special provision to protect against stone-pelting and a cattle guard in the front to prevent damage to the train or derailment in case of cattle run.

The first Vande Bharat Express was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The railway is expected to manufacture 40 more such trains by 2022, according to senior officials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Mohanlal’s Stephen returns in fearsome form in L2: Empuraan Teaser

Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpally in the teaser of L2: Empuraan

The much-anticipated teaser for L2: Empuraan, the second chapter of the planned trilogy directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, has been unveiled, offering a glimpse of a darker, more brutal narrative. Starring Malayalam cinema legend Mohanlal, the film continues the story of Stephen Nedumpally, also known as Khureshi Ab’raam, a character that mesmerized audiences in Lucifer.

The teaser debuted at a grand event attended by the film’s key players, including Mohanlal, Prithviraj, and Mammootty, who released the teaser in style. Clocking in at 143 seconds, the preview immediately sets a grim tone, beginning in Qaraqosh, a war-torn town in Iraq. The atmosphere is tense, underscored by the chilling phrase, “Death to the Evil.”

One of the standout moments in the teaser recalls PK Ramdas (Sachin Khedekar) advising Priyadarshini (Manju Warrier) in the first film: “If one day you feel everything is falling apart and I’m not around, the only person you can turn to is Stephen.” This sentiment reverberates through the teaser as it shifts to Stephen’s iconic black Ambassador car, now layered with dust—an ominous sign of his long absence.

The suspense builds as a voice declares, “He leads the most powerful mercenary group in Asia,” introducing audiences to Stephen’s transformation into a figure commanding immense influence and fear. The teaser’s climactic moments highlight Mohanlal’s commanding return as Khureshi Ab’raam, warning of the perils of dealing with the devil.

Star-Studded Cast and Stellar Crew

Joining Mohanlal in this cinematic spectacle are Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, and others reprising their roles from Lucifer. The film also features Saniya Iyappan, Saikumar, Baiju Santhosh, Fazil, and Sachin Khedekar in key roles.

The story, penned by Murali Gopy, is brought to life with the expertise of cinematographer Sujith Vaassudev, editor Akhilesh Mohan, and composer Deepak Dev, whose score amplifies the teaser’s intensity.

As the teaser hints at power struggles, deceit, and vengeance, L2: Empuraan sets the stage for an explosive continuation of this gripping saga, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its release.

JPC clears Waqf Amendment Bill with 14 changes, Opposition cries foul

Published

By

The Waqf Amendment Bill is poised for a final vote on January 29 in the Joint Parliamentary Committee. The committee had been tasked with reviewing the bill by November 29, which was then extended to February 13, approved 14 changes to the draft. The 44 amendments proposed by the Opposition were rejected by its chairman BJP MP Jagadambika Pal.

The Opposition had accused the BJP of bias in several sittings of the committee leading to the suspension of several MPs, including Kalyan Banerjee of Trinamool Congress and Asaduddin Owaisi of the AIMIM, both vocal critics of the Bill.

The Opposition MPs had also written to Speaker Om Birla against Pal, saying he was rushing the Bill to gain political mileage ahead of the Delhi Assembly election due to be held on February 5.

Earlier, reports had said Banerjee had broken a glass during a verbal altercation while in deliberations with BJP MP and former Calcutta HC judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay.

The Bill aims to reform Waqf Board administration, mandating the inclusion of non-Muslim and women members. The Central Waqf Council’s composition would also change, incorporating a Union minister, MPs, ex-judges, and individuals of national repute, regardless of religious affiliation. Crucially, the Council’s land acquisition powers would be removed. A controversial clause restricts donations to Muslims practicing their faith for at least five years, prompting concerns about religious freedom.

While proponents claim the bill empowers Muslim women and children, critics, including the Congress and the DMK, allege it infringes upon Articles 15 and 30 of the Constitution, which guarantee freedom of religion and the right of minorities to administer educational institutions. The final report is expected by January 31.
