Delhi put on high alert day after farmers' rally turned unruly, with groups storming Red Fort. Police says all protesters have left the city. No restrictions on travel.
Delhi Police had over 50,000 personnel on the ground Tuesday, with over 20,000 deployed on the routes fixed for the protesting farmers' tractor rally. But situation still went out of control.
The Nishan Sahib, a triangular saffron flag, is usually hoisted outside a gurdwara, mounted on a steel pole that is also covered with a saffron-coloured cloth.
'Adopt a Heritage' came under fire last year when Dalmia Group signed up for the Red Fort. Critics had said Modi govt was selling India's historical gems.
For an industry globally classified as hazardous, protections such as health insurance and a provident fund for workers are necessities. In Sivakasi, they remain elusive.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
I wonder about these rallies and protests; allowed by our hallowed constitution? Lakhs of people on public property, denying its use to other citizens, in itself a violation of basic rights, creating confusion and in many cases vandalizing all in the way. The police can’t, of course, use any force to control them and in all cases suffer unwanted causalities. In the end all that is left is damage and a bad taste.
Hey Indians, are you under the impression that a few “Union leaders” who have a huge disconnect with the crowd (turned into a mob) they profess to “command” can control these lakhs of disoriented people in various state of mind, themselves unsure of what really is happening? If so, I am sure you must be actually joking.
These shenanigans are allowed in the name of “Right to protest” as if that is the ultimate in all rights. Part of the media hail it as acts of democracy. This same media has failed miserably to pursue our elected representatives to have meaningful discussion on National matters in the hallowed Houses – but are vociferous to give a “ball by ball” commentary on these “protests”.
And we want to progress, become a world leader. If we allowed these to continue, we will surely remain a laggard democracy and China and the rest of the world will race far ahead, as they probably are already.
Whose Nation is it anyway?
I hope that the families police fraternity will be joined by ordinary Delhites in the silent protest. People have a right to peace as much as they have a right to protest.
Opposition to ruling BJP should NEVER EVER be expressed to tarnish India’s image itself, that too with the covert / overt support of DUBIOUSLY FUNDED ( foreign & inland ) renegade vested interests.
Sky High Levels of Freedom available in India for Expression of opinion – thoughts / Democracy / Street Protests with funds collected dubiously from inland & abroad are only misused in India. Cannot digest the Stand of self declared farmer leaders like Hannan Mollah / Yogendra Yadav yesterday in front of media, to wash their hands off the violent incidents, which was just short of taking anticipatory bail, when things spiralled out of their control. Such self declared leaders only seems to have incited / provoked the besmirching incidents / sacrilegious acts on a Republic Day in Delhi.
