[00:02:44] In such a situation, in West Bengal, a [00:02:46] Guinness Book of World Record has been made here. [00:02:50] Mahalia festival has been celebrated here. We will tell you these [00:02:54] three news stories in detail and the big news [00:02:57] coming at this time is from Nepal. First of all, let's turn to the news from Nepal. A flood warning has been issued in the [00:03:01] Budhi Gandak river in Nepal and people [00:03:04] have been asked to be vigilant here. Let us tell you that flash floods [00:03:08] have occurred once again in Nepal and in such a situation, the water coming from the rivers [00:03:12] of Nepal towards India and joining the rivers [00:03:16] of India, in such a situation, the areas, especially [00:03:19] the areas of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the rivers [00:03:23] there have been advised to remain on alert [00:03:26] mode. People have been advised to avoid going near the river. [00:03:30] Bihar has been put on alert mode at this time. Along with this, let us tell you [00:03:34] the areas in Bihar that are on alert mode at this time [00:03:38] are West Champaran, East [00:03:41] Champaran, Gopalganj are on alert mode at this time. Let us tell you [00:03:44] that before this, on August 26, 2026, [00:03:48] a devastating flash flood occurred in Bhotekoshi, [00:03:51] after which thousands of people died, and even today [00:03:55] many people, many thousands of people are missing, let us tell you. [00:03:58] In such a situation, once again, due to the flood in the Budhi [00:04:02] Gandak river of Nepal, the rivers of Bihar [00:04:06] are on alert mode at this time and [00:04:09] many areas have been put on alert mode [00:04:13] at this time. Bihar has been put on alert mode at this time. Monitoring is being done at this time. [00:04:16] The Bihar government is on alert mode at this time, especially [00:04:20] those people who are living near the coastal areas, near those [00:04:23] rivers, people have been advised not to go. [00:04:27] Our correspondent from Bihar, Madhuresh Narayan, has joined us on this news. [00:04:30] Madhuresh, what is the latest update? This news of flash floods [00:04:34] in Nepal is coming once again and Bihar is on alert [00:04:38] mode at this time because the Gandak river, the water that comes from there, [00:04:42] what is the water level right now and what advice has been given to the people? [00:04:46] Look, the water level [00:04:48] of the river was already high due to the continuous heavy rain [00:04:51] in Nepal for the last three to [00:04:54] four days. Definitely, [00:04:57] and the district administration was already on alert regarding this. [00:05:01] But now, as information has been given by Nepal [00:05:04] that there is a possibility of flash floods, the district administration has [00:05:08] definitely started the procedure [00:05:11] once again. According to the information [00:05:15] given by Nepal through social media, [00:05:19] the Chumanubri Rural Municipality 6 [00:05:23] has said that there is a possibility [00:05:26] of flood in the Budhi Gandak river. [00:05:30] Keeping this in mind, people have been appealed to move to higher places. [00:05:34] This is also the reason why an alert has been issued [00:05:38] in Bihar. The Budhi [00:05:42] Gandak river in Bihar also enters through West Champaran. [00:05:45] But after entering West Champaran, it turns [00:05:49] towards East Champaran and then passes through Gopalganj [00:05:52] and then meets the Ganges in Munger. So all the districts [00:05:56] that fall in this entire stretch [00:06:00] and all the villages that are on the banks [00:06:03] of this river have been put on alert. [00:06:06] We saw that last time when the devastation happened [00:06:10] in Nepal, after that, the way [00:06:14] crisis management was done [00:06:17] in Bihar, due to this, a lot of [00:06:21] loss of life and property did not happen, and in the same way, [00:06:25] Madhuresh, in such a situation, when there is a flood warning [00:06:28] in the Budhi Gandak river and Bihar is on alert mode [00:06:32] at this time, which areas and regions or districts [00:06:36] should be considered sensitive at this time? [00:06:39] Yes, exactly what I told [00:06:42] you just now, that this Budhi Gandak, besides [00:06:46] West Champaran, East [00:06:49] Champaran, Gopalganj and some parts of [00:06:53] Chhapra and Patna district, [00:06:56] up to Munger, these four or five districts [00:06:59] are affected by the rise in the water level of the Budhi Gandak. [00:07:03] But the way the district administration is already [00:07:07] prepared, people are being alerted in advance [00:07:10] that if there is any bad [00:07:12] condition, people are being alerted through announcements [00:07:16] to be ready so that whenever the district administration [00:07:20] alerts them to go to higher ground, [00:07:23] they should pack their necessary belongings so that they can go [00:07:27] to the safe place. As we saw [00:07:30] last time when there was a flood in Gandak, [00:07:34] when the water level increased in Narayani and Trishul [00:07:38] river, due to which the water level of Gandak river increased, [00:07:42] at that time also, similar announcements were made in East [00:07:45] and West Champaran and other districts, and proper arrangements [00:07:49] were made for people to stay together, [00:07:53] communal kitchens were being run, and similar arrangements [00:07:57] were seen when the flood came [00:08:00] last month, at that time also, it was managed [00:08:03] by the district administration and the Bihar government. [00:08:06] So, preparations are being made on the same lines [00:08:10] and the district administration [00:08:13] has been alerted. The Bihar government [00:08:16] is continuously monitoring and the officials [00:08:20] of the Water Management Department, the engineers, are [00:08:23] continuously keeping an eye on the situation, and when the water level [00:08:27] in Gandak increased, at that very moment, [00:08:31] a command center was formed in Patna, which is continuously [00:08:34] monitoring the water level of the rivers [00:08:38] and how relief is being provided in the flood-affected areas. [00:08:41] The command center is also continuously monitoring this. [00:08:45] Through that command center, the possibility of flash floods [00:08:49] in the Budhi Gandak is also being monitored, and the Chief Secretary [00:08:53] of Bihar, Pratyay Amrit, is continuously [00:08:56] keeping an eye on the situation and taking updates. [00:08:59] The employees of the Water Resources Department, engineers, [00:09:03] especially the team [00:09:06] constituted for the monitoring [00:09:10] of embankments, updates are being taken from them [00:09:12] every hour [00:09:16] so that there is no mistake of even 1%. [00:09:19] The Bihar government's full focus is that [00:09:23] there should be no loss of life and property in any way. [00:09:26] Even if a flood comes, some areas may be affected, [00:09:30] but there should be no loss of life. [00:09:33] Yes, thank you very much, Madhuresh, [00:09:37] for sharing all the information with us. Keep an eye on this news. [00:09:41] We will keep taking updates from you. [00:09:43] And we will turn to the next news. [00:09:47] The next news is related to CJP. Let us tell you that the Kokrate Janata Party [00:09:51] has once again announced a big protest at Jantar Mantar today. [00:09:54] However, the Delhi Police has tightened security at Jantar Mantar [00:09:58] and in its surrounding areas. The Delhi Police's restrictions [00:10:02] are still in place today and Delhi has been turned [00:10:05] into a fortress and heavy police are deployed [00:10:09] in New Delhi at this time. Meanwhile, three big leaders of CJP, [00:10:13] namely Abhijeet, Dipke, Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Naka, were detained [00:10:16] at the airport yesterday and have been released today [00:10:20] after appearing in the Magistrate Court. Before this, Dhruv Rathi was also released. Let us tell you, [00:10:23] but the normal situation is clearly visible at this time, [00:10:27] but the big question is whether this should be considered [00:10:31] that the CJP's protest has failed or whether the CJP has a big [00:10:34] plan ready for this. But whether there will be any movement [00:10:38] of CJP towards Jantar Mantar today or not, this will be very interesting [00:10:41] to see, but let's turn to the big news of News Punch at this time. [00:10:45] Let us tell you that the Magistrate Court has released [00:10:47] Dipke, Saurav and Raka. You can see [00:10:50] here all the pictures, but let's first [00:10:54] turn to the big news of the moment. The big news of News Punch at this moment [00:10:58] is that the ACM court has released Dipkesh [00:11:01] Saurabhdas and Ashutosh Ramka. [00:11:05] When their plane landed at the airport [00:11:09] yesterday, they were detained [00:11:12] from inside the plane. They were taken into custody, [00:11:16] but today, after appearing in the Magistrate Court, all three have been released. [00:11:20] All three appeared in the Magistrate Court and after that, [00:11:23] they were released. Abhijeet Dipke, Saurabh [00:11:27] Das and Ashutosh Raka were taken into custody yesterday. [00:11:30] For the next one year, they will not be involved in any activity that disturbs [00:11:34] peace and order. The court has released [00:11:38] them on this condition. The CJP protest [00:11:41] case was heard and after the hearing, [00:11:45] they were released. Abhijeet Dipke, Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Naka [00:11:48] all three appeared before the Special Executive Magistrate [00:11:52] and were released on the condition [00:11:55] that they will maintain peace for the next one year. [00:11:58] Let's also share those pictures [00:12:01] with you, of Abhijeet, Dipke, Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Raka, [00:12:04] who have been released. And let us tell you, [00:12:08] you are seeing the picture that the public rejected, but [00:12:12] the support of the protest was received here. [00:12:15] That is, the entire CJP protest that was supposed to be held [00:12:18] at Jantar Mantar yesterday somehow failed. [00:12:22] And let us tell you that all the restrictions [00:12:26] that were there yesterday are still in force today. [00:12:29] But if we talk about metro stations, the entry and exit of 45 metro stations [00:12:33] were closed, but the metro stations have been opened. [00:12:37] Along with this, markets were also affected yesterday, and now the markets [00:12:41] have also opened. Traffic appears normal at this time. Yesterday, there were many [00:12:44] restrictions, barricades were put up, especially in the areas [00:12:47] connected to Connaught Place, the areas connected to Central Delhi, [00:12:51] including Rama Krishna Ashrama Marg, Barakhamba Road, [00:12:55] Mandi House, Connaught Places, barricades were put up on all these roads. [00:12:59] Rail travel was severely affected yesterday. Many trains' [00:13:03] movement was affected, and along with this, [00:13:06] many trains were running late [00:13:10] from their scheduled time. But today, rail traffic is also running normally. [00:13:13] In such a situation, many restrictions that were there yesterday [00:13:17] have definitely been normalized here, but let us tell you that security [00:13:21] arrangements are still tight in Delhi. Kumar Alok has joined us, [00:13:25] and Mukesh is also with us. Let's first turn to Mukesh. Mukesh, today is the [00:13:28] second day of Jantar Mantar 2.0. Yesterday, no protest [00:13:32] could happen. The Delhi Police was in action mode. [00:13:36] If we talk about today, what is the situation today? [00:13:39] Absolutely, Bhavna, yesterday also we saw how the Delhi Police coordinated [00:13:43] well and assembled and projected things [00:13:46] in a proper manner. And the kind of picture they showed yesterday, [00:13:50] you must be seeing many videos, they neither did any barbarity [00:13:53] nor behaved inhumanely with anyone, but were politely explaining [00:13:57] to the people who were coming, giving them water, doing whatever they could [00:14:01] along with it, and behaved very humbly yesterday. And the way the entire [00:14:04] thing was well-managed and coordinated, from ground to sky, [00:14:08] they had created their security layers all around [00:14:12] so that protesters do not go to Jantar Mantar and were repeatedly saying, [00:14:16] "There is no permission, please don't come." And the rest of the people, look, they were also outside our office, [00:14:20] Kamani Auditorium, those whose routine work was there, they were allowed to do it. [00:14:23] If they had a valid reason, they were allowed to go. But the way they were presented [00:14:27] in the ACM court, Abhijeet Deepak, Saurav [00:14:31] Das and Ranga, and there also they told them today that [00:14:34] if you do not get involved in any such activity for one year, [00:14:38] only then will you be released, otherwise cases will be filed against them, [00:14:42] and then whatever legal proceedings happen. But yesterday, we saw throughout the day, [00:14:45] the police were also working properly, things were also happening, and today, [00:14:49] as things have become new normal, all metro lines have been opened, buses are running, [00:14:53] things are happening, and yesterday also we saw wherever needed, buses were running. [00:14:57] It was not that the whole of Delhi was shut down, as they are so-called saying [00:15:01] that Delhi was completely shut down and no one was coming or going. [00:15:04] Wherever needed, people were going and coming, but there was a central zone [00:15:08] where there were restrictions, diversions, you could pass through there. [00:15:12] And along with that, we also talked to people yesterday, they said this is not a protest, [00:15:15] this is directly their arbitrary behavior, their own people were coming [00:15:19] and talking to me, they said, "We are the former protesters from [00:15:22] CJP, who held their first 1.0, they did not participate in 2.0. [00:15:26] They said, "Now this has become politically dominated and funded, [00:15:29] they are misusing that fund, misleading the youth." And many such youths [00:15:33] came there, they did what they were guided to do by them. [00:15:37] The police detained them and sent them back. But yesterday, [00:15:41] the CJP's protest was a total flop. [00:15:45] The expectation they had that people would come [00:15:48] and do mischief, pelting stones, [00:15:52] Bhavna, nothing of that sort happened. That is, the police knew, the government knew [00:15:56] how to coordinate, and so I think what they did yesterday made them completely zero. [00:16:00] Absolutely, Kumar Alok is also with us. Kumar Alok, if we talk about today, [00:16:03] the way Delhi Police was in action mode yesterday, if we talk about today, [00:16:07] what are the conditions in Delhi at this time? Especially if we talk about [00:16:11] the areas around Jantar Mantar, will the proposed protest [00:16:14] of CJP that was supposed to happen yesterday happen today? Because [00:16:18] now Dipke, Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Rakha have been released. [00:16:21] Yes, look, the barricade [00:16:24] at Jantar Mantar is there, [00:16:27] at the main protest site, there are barricades, [00:16:30] there are barricades, but yesterday, around it, [00:16:34] what we saw, from Election Commission [00:16:38] to Ashoka Road, the entire Central Delhi area of Le Meridien, [00:16:41] which is also called [00:16:45] was all barricaded yesterday. But there was one thing, [00:16:48] that the common people who were suffering due to the barricades, [00:16:52] if they had an identity card, a valid identity card, [00:16:56] like people working in offices or hotels, [00:16:59] if you had an ID card, they were allowing you to go, but if you did not [00:17:03] have an ID card, entry was restricted yesterday. [00:17:07] But today, you can see, this entire area is normal. [00:17:11] You can see buses going, you can see bikers, [00:17:14] common people, going. Complete normalcy is being seen [00:17:18] here today. And the second thing, which is the biggest, [00:17:22] is that yesterday's situation is much more open today. [00:17:26] Another important thing is that it's Sunday today, [00:17:29] so it's usually empty on Sunday. [00:17:33] There's not much pressure on the metro or buses. [00:17:36] Offices are closed. But despite this, you can see, [00:17:40] the message went out [00:17:43] that because these [00:17:45] CJP leaders had applied, [00:17:49] they should have been given permission 10 days ago, but they did not get permission [00:17:53] for this protest. On the 7th, they [00:17:56] just gave an information. [00:18:00] In such a situation, a big message goes from here that everyone [00:18:04] has the right to speak in a democracy, but under the law and order. [00:18:07] For now, Kumar Alok and Mukesh, thank you very much [00:18:11] for all the information. [00:18:15] The next news is related to Uttar Pradesh. In Uttar Pradesh, the election fever has already started [00:18:19] rising before the assembly elections. Ramnagari is once again [00:18:22] at its center. This began when Samajwadi Party President [00:18:26] and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav challenged Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath [00:18:29] to contest the assembly elections from the Ayodhya seat. [00:18:33] Yogi Adityanath was not one to keep quiet on this challenge, [00:18:36] and as expected, he retaliated in Balrampur [00:18:40] and challenged Akhilesh Yadav to contest elections [00:18:44] against himself from Ayodhya. In such a situation, Yogi [00:18:48] vs. Akhilesh is clearly visible here. A war of words [00:18:52] has begun here. They are seen challenging each other, [00:18:55] but Yogi also retaliated here and accepted [00:18:59] every challenge of Akhilesh. So the center point [00:19:03] in this big contest at this time is Ayodhya, [00:19:06] where Yogi Adityanath has retaliated [00:19:09] to Akhilesh's challenge and has accepted this challenge. [00:19:13] Akhilesh's challenge has come here: [00:19:16] "Contest elections from Ayodhya." Yogi Adityanath said [00:19:20] that one young PDA guardian is enough. [00:19:23] This is what Akhilesh Yadav is saying. He has given a political answer [00:19:27] through PDA. Meanwhile, Yogi's challenge has also come. [00:19:30] In Yogi's challenge, he has spoken of fully accepting [00:19:34] the challenge: "Nominate from Ayodhya, [00:19:38] I will also contest. I will contest for Ayodhya [00:19:41] for development, not for politics." So here, the war of words [00:19:45] between Yogi vs. Akhilesh has clearly started [00:19:48] and the political activity has intensified [00:19:52] before the Uttar Pradesh elections [00:20:02] and the Chief Minister who makes [00:20:05] big claims, if he is so confident, [00:20:09] then he should [00:20:11] contest the election from Ayodhya himself and show it. [00:20:15] And he tells me [00:20:18] that the Chief Minister should contest the election from Ayodhya [00:20:21] and show it. [00:20:25] O Akhilesh, Ayodhya is our holy [00:20:27] abode. I go to Ayodhya [00:20:30] repeatedly so that there is no negligence [00:20:34] in the development of Ayodhya. And I offer [00:20:38] you, come, you also file [00:20:41] your nomination in Ayodhya and I will also contest [00:20:44] from Ayodhya. Let's try our luck [00:20:45] once. [00:20:51] And you clearly heard Yogi vs. Akhilesh. [00:20:54] The verbal war has intensified here. Our correspondent Vikas Singh [00:20:58] has joined us on this news. Let's turn to Vikas and ask him. Vikas, the election is becoming very interesting. [00:21:02] Here Akhilesh challenged, Yogi Adityanath accepted, [00:21:05] and the way Yogi Adityanath spoke, he was full of confidence. [00:21:08] He said Ayodhya is a religious city [00:21:12] and is moving forward on the path of development, and whenever he comes to Ayodhya, [00:21:15] he only talks about development here. Yes, absolutely. [00:21:19] If we look at this, as soon as Akhilesh Yadav challenged, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath [00:21:23] accepted it and said, "You come, I will also come, let's both fight." [00:21:26] There is no need for things to be indirect, let's have a direct fight [00:21:30] because Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath clearly said [00:21:33] that he comes to Ayodhya repeatedly, [00:21:37] he doesn't come here to do politics. And he reminded that [00:21:41] Ayodhya used to have electricity for only two or three hours and there used to be piles of garbage. [00:21:44] He worked for the development of that Ayodhya. All the development projects [00:21:48] here have been implemented on the ground. [00:21:52] beautiful was worked for. And after that, we saw [00:21:55] that Akhilesh Yadav did not tweet about fighting himself, [00:21:59] he said that our guardian will fight. [00:22:03] But all these things are such that the Bharatiya Janata Party [00:22:06] and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have always been on the front foot [00:22:10] and answer every attack themselves. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, [00:22:14] the way he accepted the challenge of the Samajwadi Party President, [00:22:18] after that, somewhere [00:22:35] and Yogi's statements are also looking very interesting. Vikas, thank you very much [00:22:39] for all the information. It's time for a short break. [00:22:42] We will be back soon. Keep watching News Punch.
