Rahul Gandhi wrote in his X post, “I am deeply saddened by the news of the death and injury of many newborns in the tragic accident at Jhansi Medical College. I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families.”

Surrounding the UP government, he said, “Such tragic incidents happening one after the other in Uttar Pradesh raise many serious questions about the negligence of the government and the administration. The government should ensure that the injured children get the best possible treatment. Also, this tragic incident should be investigated immediately and strict legal action should be taken against the culprits.”

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi also expressed her condolences and wrote in an ex-post, “Shocking news has come from Jhansi’s Maharani Laxmibai Medical College, where ten children have died due to a fire in the intensive care unit of newborns. Words of grief and condolence are useless in this time of great tragedy. We stand with the families and guardians in this difficult situation.”

PM Modi gave the mantra of ‘Progress of the People’ at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit on Saturday. He said that the people of India have handed over the capital of their trust to us for the huge goal of making a developed India.

He said that in the era of social media, false news has also spread. Even in this era, the citizens of India have faith in us. When the confidence of the public increases, its different effect is seen on the development of the country. The culture of risk taking has been common from the ancient civilization to today’s developed countries. The changes that have come in the country in the last 10 years have again given new energy to the culture of risk taking among the citizens of India.

PM Modi said that the government has eliminated gas shortage in the last 10 years. Similarly, mobile phones and Rupay cards are examples. Earlier, having a debit or credit card made people feel proud. Today, even the poor have Rupay credit and debit cards in their pockets. Today, even the poorest of the poor do online transactions. They use UPI. This is also an example of employment through investment and dignity through development.

PM Modi said that to understand the growth trajectory on which India is today, it is important to look at another approach of our government. This approach is – ‘Spend Big for People’, ‘Save Big for People’, i.e. more spending on the public and more savings for the public.

Citing an example, PM Modi said that today our capital expenditure is more than Rs 11 lakh crore. This amount is being spent on new hospitals, roads, railways, research facilities. Along with increasing spending on the public, we are also saving the public’s money. For example, the country has saved Rs 3.5 lakh crore due to direct benefit transfer. The poor have saved Rs 1 lakh crore due to free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. The citizens have saved Rs 30,000 crore due to the cheap medicines available at the Jan Aushadhi Kendra. The Ujala scheme has saved Rs 20,000 crore in the electricity bills of the people.

He said, “For the first time, 12 crore people have got clean water under the Har Ghar Nal Se Jal scheme, due to which such families have saved more than Rs 10,000 every year. 10 years ago, no one had thought of such a big change in India. Today there is a hope and thought that this century will be India’s century. For this, we will have to make many more efforts and we are also working in this direction. We have to make such world class products, such world class infrastructure, education, films etc. should be made.” PM Modi further said, “We are moving with the mantra of Progress of the People, Progress by the People, Progress for the People. 10 years ago, nobody had thought that such a big change would happen in India. India’s success has inspired us to dream bigger and fulfill it. Today there is a hope, a thought that this century is India’s century.”

One person said, “Harish Chaudhary was the target of the miscreants. They fired 20-22 rounds of bullets. Bullet marks are visible both inside and outside the office.

In the awareness program running throughout the month of November, Noida Police has specifically told people that people driving four-wheelers in Noida who use the wrong side will be given a notice that action will be taken against them.

Noida Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh has said that under the awareness campaign, the work of registration and verification of autos has been started so that the number of autos running on the roads can be known. We have found in our assessment that most of the accidents happen due to vehicles coming from the other side. A short film has been released today to increase awareness. We hope that all the people of Gautam Buddha Nagar district will be a part of the campaign and focus their attention.

On the occasion of Traffic Month, Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh gave a traffic awareness message to all the citizens through a video message in view of road safety. Through the video message, she told that we should not put our lives and others’ lives in danger by taking a wrong turn in order to save a few seconds. Every year thousands of citizens lose their lives in road accidents. A little caution and a little time can save our lives. So walk carefully on the road and save yours and others’ lives.

The cabinet says that planning for bus marshals is a matter of service as well as law and order. Therefore, the LG has been requested to make a plan for this.

Senior officials have given in writing to the Delhi government that only the LG has the right to make a policy for bus marshals. Therefore, the cabinet has said that till the plan is made, the bus marshals should be reinstated immediately as before 31 October 2023. It may take several months or years for the LG to make a policy. Therefore, the cabinet has urged to immediately reinstate the bus marshals where they were posted.

It said that the Delhi government is ready to bear all the financial expenses incurred on the bus marshals. The LG should immediately allow the use of civil defence volunteers as bus marshals. For ease of understanding, the decision of the cabinet meeting has been sent to the LG in both Hindi and English.

The Delhi government has said that the 2012 Nirbhaya incident had exposed the lack of women’s safety. In view of this, bus marshals were deployed to protect women so that security is maintained in buses at all times. The presence of bus marshals also reassures passengers, especially women, that there is a person in the bus who is ready to prevent incidents like molestation, theft or fights. CCTV cameras help in identifying the culprit after the incident, but bus marshals take immediate action, which can prevent the incident.
