New Delhi: National president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Amit Shah on Sunday inaugurated new Deen Dayal Upadhyaya railway station. Mughalsarai railway station has been renamed as Deen Dayal Upadhyaya railway station. Union Minister Piyush Goyal and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were also present. The leaders also launched a project to upgrade the yard at the station.

Speaking at the event, Shah said,''Purvanchal Express will change the face of East UP.  BHU hospital has been brought to an AIIMS level hospital.'' ''No investment would come to UP, since coming to power BJP has brought more than 1 lakh crore investment to the state,''  Shah further said.

New Delhi: Salman Khan's counsel had moved an application before the District and Sessions Judge Chandra Kumar Songara seeking exemption from taking court’s permission before visiting foreign country. But Khan will have to continue taking permission from the court every time he travels abroad. It was made clear by the judge hearing a plea against the actor's conviction in the blackbuck poaching case.

But he withdrew the application after the prosecution raised objections. The court is hearing the Bollywood star's plea against his conviction by a lower court, which had handed him a five-year jail sentence for killing two blackbucks 20 years ago in Kankani village near here. Public prosecutor Pokar Ram Bishnoi said since the arguments had already begun it would not be appropriate to grant Khan permanent relaxation from permission to travel.

New Delhi: After the invitation of Prime Minister designate Imran Khan, Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar on August 5 said he would take the government's advice before deciding to attend his great cricket rival Imran Khan's swearing-in as the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.

 Gavaskar, along with former skipper Kapil Dev, have been invited to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Imran, who led Pakistan to its maiden World Cup title in 1992.

"I would like to take our government's OK, take their view, opinion whether I should travel there even if there is a day when I am able to go," Gavaskar told 'India Today'. Gavaskar is not certain as to whether he will be able to attend the ceremony as he has his other commitments.

New Delhi: After facing criticism from all across, Rajasthan’s home minister Gulabchand Kataria said that the state government prepared a blueprint to prevent cases of lynchings by mobs. It includes identifying sensitive areas, increasing the presence of the police and naming nodal officers.

The Bharatiya Janata Party in the state has faced renewed criticism after a 29-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death late in July by suspected cow vigilantes in Alwar district, where three people engaged in cattle trade were killed since April last year.

“A team of informers will be prepared to enable the police to respond quickly to the possibility of mob lynching in remote areas. The way to do this is to increase the police mobility in remote areas and for that, we will soon be issuing 700 motorcycles,” Kataria said.
