The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert in these states.

The incessant showers in Maharashtra and Gujarat have led to the loss of hundreds of lives since the monsoon began. So far, around 89 people have died in Maharashtra and 18 in Gujarat due to rain-related incidents. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert in these states.

Heavy rain in Mumbai also caused a landslide in the Vasai area of Palghar district today where one person has been declared dead and two others are critically injured. The rescue operation is underway. Due to the persistent rain in the financial capital, the trains have been largely affected as some parts of the Andheri subway were flooded. The monsoon also caused a problem for those travelling by road.

Due to waterlogging and traffic snarls in several areas of the city, the traffic police appealed to motorists to travel cautiously. Several rivers in the state have also reached the warning level. Over 839 houses have been damaged because of the heavy showers.

The Kundalika river has crossed the warning level and the water levels of the Amba, Savitri, Patalganga, Ulhas, and Garhi rivers are slightly below the warning level. IMD has also predicted floods in several villages in Nagpur. The gates of Navegaonkhairi, Nandh, and Vena dams have been opened to release water and, as a result, villages in Saoner, Parseoni, Ramtek, Umred, and Bhivapur tehsils may face floods.

The Nyari dam in Gujarat’s Rajkot district overflows as heavy downpour lashes the state. The flood-like situation and water logging are also reported in Navsari’s Jalalpore.

Over 9,000 people were relocated, while 468 people were rescued as a result of the torrential rain that lashed numerous regions in south and central Gujarat.

Over the past 24 hours, several districts in south and central Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, saw extremely severe rains. As a result, over 6,000 people were relocated to safer locations from low-lying areas where a flood-like situation had developed. The heavy rains forced the closure of 388 roads, including state highways and panchayat roads.

The touching scene unfolded as they humbly touched Sonia Gandhi’s feet. The social media praised the Telangana CM for his gesture. Supporters and members of the Congress took immense pride in the video and it was shared widely as a symbol of respect and unity within the party. One social media user said this is the manners of the Congress party. He said this is the scene of the day for him.

He said there is no problem with that as it is part of our culture. He noted that Reddy shook hands with Kharge ji, although he is much senior, both in age and position.

Akbaruddin Owaisi takes oath as pro-tem speaker of Telangana assembly

Owaisi who took the oath in the name of Allah, will later administer oath to newly elected members of the House. Ministers D.Sridhar Babu, Tummala Nageshwara Rao, Seethakka , former minister and BRS leader T Harish Rao and other attended the ceremony

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeem (AIMIM) MLA Akbarudin Owaisi on Saturday took oath as pro-tem speaker of the newly-elected Telangana State Assembly. Governor Tamilsai Soundararajan took the oath to him at Raj Bhavan at a ceremony attended by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and speaker of previous assembly Pocharam Srinivas Reddy.

Owaisi who took the oath in the name of Allah, will later administer oath to newly elected members of the House. Ministers D.Sridhar Babu, Tummala Nageshwara Rao, Seethakka , former minister and BRS leader T Harish Rao and other attended the ceremony. According to a notification issued by Governor, Owaisi will perform the duties of the speaker till a speaker is elected under Article 178 of the constitution of India.

Being the senior most member of the assembly, the AIMIM legislator has been appointed as the Pro-tem speaker. In 2018, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan was made protem speaker. In the just concluded state elections he was elected from Chandrayangutta constituency in Hyderabad for a sixth consecutive term. This is the second consecutive time that a MLA of AIMIM has been appointed as Protem speaker. In 2018, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan was made protem Speaker.

The Pro-tem Speaker serves a temperory role, officiating the assembly session until the-elected members are sworn in and a speaker is elected. Once the assembly speaker is elected, the pro-tem speaker’s duties end, which marks the beginning of regular legislative activities under the new leadership.

Telanagana BJP today boycotted the oath ceremony for the newly elected MLAs, objecting to AIMIM’s Akbaruddin Owaisi being appointed Protem Speaker of the state assembly. The Pro-tem speaker is tasked with administering oath to the new legislators.

BJP MLA T Raja Singh, who won from Goshamahal in last month’s assembly elections, said in a video message that he would never take oath as long as he is alive in front of AIMIM. He said he would take oath only after a full term speaker is appointed.

ISIS conspiracy case: NIA raids multiple locations in Maharashtra, Karnataka; 13 arrested

The case concerns a criminal conspiracy that the accused and their allies, who established a terror gang and vowed allegiance to the violent ideology of ISIS, planned.

In connection with the ISIS conspiracy investigation, the National Investigation Agency raided 44 places in Karnataka and Maharashtra and detained 13 people from Pune.

Of these 44 sites, two were in Pune, 31 in Thane Rural, 9 in Thane City, 1 in Mira Bhayander, and 1 in Karnataka.

The case concerns a criminal conspiracy that the accused and their allies, who established a terror gang and vowed allegiance to the violent ideology of ISIS, planned.

Just one month ago, the national agency in the Pune Module submitted a chargesheet against seven people who were part of an ISIS-related conspiracy. The accused participated in the terror outfit’s fund-raising and collection efforts with the goal of advancing its violent and terror-related activities.

It was discovered that the defendants had set up terrorist training camps, harboured known and wanted terrorists, and had committed crimes before IEDs were invented. They were also discovered to be in possession of ammo, guns, and IEDs.

The Indian Penal Code, the Explosives Substances Act, the Arms Act, and the UAPA Act all have different sections that address the allegations.

Shahnawaz Alam, an Islamic State (IS) terrorist sought by the NIA in relation to the Pune ISIS module case, was apprehended by the Delhi Police in October.

Alam was taken into custody a few days after the NIA offered him a Rs 3 lakh reward. In the follow-up action, Arshad Warsi and Mohammad Rizwan, two other accused terrorists, were also taken into custody. Alam, an engineer by trade, was discovered to be in possession of a chemical substance, which was taken, according to an official.

Regarding the case, the NIA claimed to have taken evidence against Shamil Saquib Nachan from his Thane district home in August, when he was apprehended.

The NIA had earlier filed its first supplementary chargesheet against nine Karnataka residents in connection with an alleged ISIS plot to conduct terror acts throughout India.
