[00:01:52] will both be kept away
[00:02:00] what laws and actions are there for those who overspeed on the Coastal Road? Questions arise regarding this.
[00:02:03] We know that recently on the Coastal Road,

[00:02:10] inside the tunnel,
[00:02:14] for the upcoming elections. after which Mumbai Police took action against them, and now
[00:02:16] another overspeeding incident has occurred on this Coastal Road,

[00:02:27] through forensic evidence and after their investigation,
[00:02:32] to succeed and do something for society, and what action will be taken to curb overspeeding incidents. Mumbai's

[00:02:43] process is ongoing.
[00:02:44] है

[00:02:57] From Mumbai, Sujata Dwivedi, NDTV India.
[00:03:02] Amidst Mumbai's famous Ganesh Utsav, a very tragic and shocking news
[00:03:06] has come from the Lalbaug area. Here, near the Ganpati pandal,
[00:03:10] due to an electric current spread, an 8-year-old innocent girl, Ragini Ghanshyam
[00:03:14] Yadav, and 33-year-old Sujata died. In this accident,
[00:03:17] four people were also seriously burned.
[00:03:19] गए
[00:03:26] Lalbaug area of Mumbai, where Ganpati pandals
[00:03:32] angle of a
[00:03:37] to 912 youths for UP Police.
[00:03:42] to 912 youths for UP Police.
[00:04:00] electricity meters and open wires were installed, a live wire fell to the ground
[00:04:03] while a tarpaulin cover was being pulled. Due to rain, water had already accumulated
[00:04:07] on the ground, causing high voltage current to spread throughout the area in a moment.
[00:04:11] Devotees who came to see Bappa could not understand
[00:04:15] what was happening, and before they could, people got electrocuted
[00:04:18] and started writhing in pain, causing a commotion at the spot.
[00:04:22] गई,
[00:04:25] In this accident, an eight-year-old girl Ragini and a 33-year-old
[00:04:28] woman Sujata died. Ragini's family members
[00:04:32] are in a bad state, crying. The family says that when millions of people gather,
[00:04:36] why is there such a big negligence regarding open wires and
[00:04:39] safety?
[00:04:44] is a It was 2 o'clock, we went in line, at least at 2:40,
[00:04:49] is a this accident happened, but we saw too much crowd, so we said
[00:04:51] we would go back home, we wouldn't go, so we were going out from the side,
[00:04:55] but there was a shop next to the pandal, so we
[00:04:59] thought we would stand near the shop, the crowd would go, then we would
[00:05:03] go home, we wouldn't go to see the deity,
[00:05:05] are very frightening for Indian but where was it there, there was a light installed there,
[00:05:07] which is near the pandal people, there is a pandal nearby,
[00:05:11] they put up a line, they put up a light, they should have said, they should have kept safety,
[00:05:15] you are seating Bappa and causing so much crowd.
[00:05:18] Despite this heartbreaking accident, there is a huge crowd of devotees
[00:05:21] in the Lalbaug area. There is no space to set foot in the pandals.
[00:05:25] For darshan of Lalbaug Raja and nearby
[00:05:29] pandals, devotees are standing in long queues
[00:05:33] of 18 to 24 hours.
[00:05:35] हुए
[00:05:38] This is the line where you have to wait for at least
[00:05:42] three to three and a half hours and depending on the crowd,
[00:05:46] if you say, up to 6 hours. And
[00:05:49] the crowd does increase every
[00:05:52] year, but the arrangements are limited,
[00:05:55] and because of that, if something happens
[00:05:59] or could happen, many arrangements have been made for that.
[00:06:03] You can see there, there are also toilet facilities,
[00:06:06] along with that, water is being distributed.
[00:06:10] Kala Chowki police, seeing the seriousness of the matter,
[00:06:14] cut the electricity at the accident site and sealed it.
[00:06:18] Police have registered a case of accidental death and started investigation.
[00:06:22] Officials say that strict legal action
[00:06:26] will be taken against those responsible for neglecting safety standards in the pandal
[00:06:30] and showing negligence in temporary electricity connections.
[00:06:33] Report by Sujata Dwivedi from Mumbai,
[00:06:37] NDTV India.
[00:06:41] Now, let's talk about UP politics, where SP and
[00:06:44] BJP are constantly attacking each other. Here, SP chief
[00:06:48] Akhilesh Yadav made a big allegation against the BJP government of demolishing statues of Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar,
[00:06:52] while CM Yogi Adityanath reminded of the riots and months-long
[00:06:55] curfew during the SP rule.
[00:06:59] The bugle for Mission
[00:07:07] 2027 has been sounded in Uttar Pradesh politics. In the SP's marathon meeting held in Lucknow,
[00:07:11] a new formula was decided to reach power in 2027,
[00:07:14] while Yogi Adityanath handed over appointment letters to 912 youths for UP Police.
[00:07:18] यूपी पुलिस के लिए 912 युवाओं को नियुक्ति पत्र
[00:07:20] But amidst all this,
[00:07:23] Yogi Adityanath and Akhilesh Yadav were also seen sharply attacking
[00:07:27] each other's parties. First, Akhilesh Yadav revealed his strategy
[00:07:31] for the upcoming elections.
[00:07:34] We all together
[00:07:38] have decided that
[00:07:41] in 27, in every assembly
[00:07:44] constituency, we will work to increase 27,000 votes.
[00:07:47] Or rather,
[00:07:51] we will work to reduce
[00:07:55] 27,000 votes of the Bharatiya Janata Party. And then
[00:07:59] Akhilesh Yadav targeted BJP. Through SP's PDA's seventh
[00:08:02] audit report, he claimed that in the current government,
[00:08:06] the rights of backwards, Dalits, and minorities have been tampered with,
[00:08:10] and Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar's
[00:08:42] statues were broken by Samajwadi Party goons. The most statues were broken
[00:08:46] during the Samajwadi Party government.
[00:08:50] Meanwhile, CM Yogi Adityanath handed over appointment letters
[00:08:54] But from this big platform, the Chief Minister not only taught
[00:08:58] the youth about law and order, but also launched a sharp attack
[00:09:01] on the opposition. CM Yogi said that during the SP's
[00:09:05] time, there were so many riots that curfew used to be imposed for months.
[00:09:08] Every other day there were riots.
[00:09:15] Curfew lasted for months.
[00:09:18] Not just one place, what about
[00:09:21] Bareilly, what about Aligarh,
[00:09:24] what about Meerut, in Muzaffarnagar, riots continued
[00:09:28] for six months straight.
[00:09:31] Riots start from Koshi Kalan,
[00:09:33] and there was no
[00:09:37] town, no
[00:09:38] district,
[00:09:41] no village where riots did not happen.
[00:09:45] SP MP Abidesh Prasad Singh said that Yogi government's
[00:09:49] appointment letter is just a deception. Release letter
[00:09:52] is a deception.
[00:09:55] There is no reality in it.
[00:09:58] This
[00:10:01] tempting and
[00:10:04] attractive
[00:10:07] letter to win elections.
[00:10:11] In this way,
[00:10:25] the party has been making changes continuously for the past few days. A few days ago, she had talked about keeping her nephew Akash
[00:10:29] Anand away from BSP politics. Now, once again, she has made a big decision
[00:10:32] and announced to keep her niece Deepkia Anand away from BSP as well.
[00:10:36] हुए भतीजी दीपिका आनंद को भी बसपा से दूर करने का ऐलान कर
[00:10:40] First, she removed her nephew,
[00:10:48] then called her niece to the party, and now the announcement has been made to remove
[00:10:52] her niece. BSP President
[00:10:56] Mayawati has clearly stated that her nephew Akash Anand
[00:11:00] and his sister, i.e., niece
[00:11:03] Deepika Anand, will never be given any responsibility
[00:11:06] in the BSP. In this regard, Mayawati wrote a long post
[00:11:10] on X.
[00:11:13] She wrote that at the special request of her younger brother
[00:11:16] Anand Kumar, she had promoted Akash Anand in politics,
[00:11:20] but after marriage, Akash's attitude and activities were such that she had to separate him
[00:11:23] from the party. Mayawati directly alleged
[00:11:27] that Akash is now completely under the influence of his father-in-law Ashok
[00:11:30] Siddharth, and re-including him would be a betrayal
[00:11:34] for the party. Akash Anand had faced Mayawati's
[00:11:38] displeasure many times before. This time, niece Deepika
[00:11:42] also came under fire. Mayawati had hinted
[00:11:46] for the first time on September 12, 2026, through social media
[00:11:49] that she might be given some role in the party in the future.
[00:11:52] But
[00:11:55] now she has reversed her decision. Mayawati wrote in a post
[00:11:58] on X that Deepika Anand should also be kept away
[00:12:02] from BSP. She expressed apprehension that Deepika's fate might
[00:12:06] also be like her brother Akash Anand after marriage.
[00:12:10] If that happens, it will not be in the party's interest. This means Mayawati has made it clear
[00:12:14] that Akash and his sister
[00:12:17] from roles in the organization forever.
[00:12:21] However, Mayawati has decided that now Anand Kumar's younger son
[00:12:57] one has to rise above the attachment of relationships and work with complete
[00:13:00] honesty. From Lucknow, Ajay Dubey, NDTV

[00:13:09] Now, let me show you a news from Agra, UP, where there was a protest against UGC rules,
[00:13:12] and this protest turned violent here. You can see the security personnel
[00:13:16] running behind here. In fact, since this morning,
[00:13:20] there was a protest against the new UGC rules here, and in UGC,
[00:13:24] यूजीसी में
[00:14:25] a large number of protesters have arrived on tractors.
[00:14:28] They are riding in tractors, continuously
[00:14:31] shouting slogans. A brave pilot who thwarted Pakistan
[00:14:35] in the war, who took his fighter jet
[00:14:38] alone against four Pakistani fighter planes in the 1965 war,
[00:14:42] that brave warrior, retired fighter pilot Alfred
[00:14:46] Tyron Cooke passed away last Friday. Just three days
[00:14:49] before his death, he had participated in NDTV's podcast Control
[00:14:52] Alt Defense,
[00:14:55] in which he shared the thrilling and unheard story of the war.
[00:14:58] NDTV pays tribute to this great warrior.
[00:15:13] The air warrior who defeated Pakistan, who single-handedly engaged
[00:15:16] four enemy fighter planes and became immortal in history,
[00:15:20] Flight Lieutenant Alfred Tyron Cooke. On Friday, September 18,
[00:15:24] 2026, the country lost this great brave son.
[00:15:27] Flight Lieutenant Cooke was awarded the Vir Chakra
[00:15:31] for his extraordinary bravery, strategic acumen, and disregard
[00:15:35] for his own life. It is also a coincidence
[00:15:39] that just three days before his demise, Flight Lieutenant Cooke
[00:15:43] had visited the NDTV office. He had a long conversation with us.
[00:15:47] During this, he openly spoke
[00:15:50] as well as other issues. In NDTV's podcast
[00:15:54] Control Alt Defense, Flight Lieutenant Cooke talked about
[00:15:57] that famous dog fight. This incident happened on September 7,
[00:16:01] 1965. On that day, four F-86 Sabers
[00:16:04] of the Pakistani Air Force suddenly attacked the Kalaikunda Air Base
[00:16:08] in West Bengal. Alfred Cooke, flying a Hawker Hunter,
[00:16:11] along with his wingman S.C. Mamgan, took charge. Instead of retreating
[00:16:15] in front of the numerically superior enemy, Cooke alone engaged
[00:16:19] everyone. Showing immense courage, he shot down the plane
[00:16:22] of Pakistani Squadron Leader Afzal Khan, seriously damaged
[00:16:26] another plane, and forced the remaining planes to flee.
[00:16:30] His plane was badly damaged, yet he landed at Dum Dum Airport
[00:16:34] in Kolkata.
[00:16:46] three because they kept one, because on internal fuel they could
[00:16:50] not go back to their base,
[00:16:53] anyway, so he just drop tanks, i just in my drop tanks,
[00:16:57] and of course the hunter, once you just in the drop tanks, it
[00:17:01] becomes totally different
[00:17:02] animal,
[00:17:05] you can make it do just about anything,
[00:17:07] Anyway so I had my dock fight
[00:17:11] at the sky initially when
[00:17:14] he when when I had a shot at him and I zoom
[00:17:18] zoomed out and he reversed I said oh my god I'm going to
[00:17:20] die and now I'm a christian i just said
[00:17:24] Jesus you can't let me die because it would kill my
[00:17:28] mother
[00:17:30] and moment I said that my panic
[00:17:34] went my profession kicked in and I
[00:17:37] knew exactly what these guys are doing, so with this first guy
[00:17:41] asal khan, we did a couple of things, I got him, and he tried to run
[00:17:45] away, and he's running, when he tr around that
[00:17:48] time, he's very low, about 20, 30 feet off the ground,
[00:17:52] and I was there, I got my gunside on him and I
[00:17:54] fired and his aircraft exploded, of
[00:17:58] course, while I was firing him, I was also hitting the scrub
[00:18:02] buse, I saw low and I didn't that time, all
[00:18:05] I maintain my gunside on them. and when his
[00:18:08] aircraft exploded i mentioned to you
[00:18:11] previously, i've couldn't help but fl the
[00:18:14] fireball, it felt like a bit of a sort of a thud
[00:18:17] anyway, but as did that i saw the other guy coming at
[00:18:21] me, now the hunter, i knew how to fly the hunter properly, you have to
[00:18:24] fly it very delicately, especially at low speeds,
[00:18:28] anything harsh, you would go into the ground, and i was quite
[00:18:31] content, now one of the things that people told me is when you be when you're in a
[00:18:35] dog fight, make sure you're behind the guy, and above
[00:18:38] him, so I kept that in mind, and he says in the dog fight, if you
[00:18:41] can't see the guy, he says, you're dead, so keep him inside
[00:18:45] all the time, so all of this came back to me, so this is what it
[00:18:48] was, this guy and myself chris crossing each other, and I was above
[00:18:52] him, I could see him looking up at me, he had a white
[00:18:55] helmet, I
[00:18:58] samir joshi managed to find out who the each individual was,
[00:19:01] but eventually I got behind him and I was firing at him and
[00:19:05] long burst and then and saw increasing his
[00:19:10] dive and bank, nice, oh my
[00:19:13] god, somebody is wander, that guy is probably behind
[00:19:17] me, so i went went on firing, now i was hitting him, i could see is hitting
[00:19:20] him, but nothing happening to his aircraft, dense panel
[00:19:24] flying off here, i said, oh my god, so kept on
[00:19:27] firing and i was almost going to collide, so i broke away, Flight
[00:19:31] Lieutenant Cook was born in Lucknow in January 1939. His early education was at the famous
[00:19:35] La Martinière College in Lucknow.
[00:19:37] In 1961, he joined the Indian Air Force.
[00:19:41] He was proficient in flying the British Hawker Hunter fighter jets.
[00:19:45] He was part of the Air Force's prestigious 14 Squadron,
[00:19:48] also known as the Bulls. On September 7, 1965,
[00:19:52] during the India-Pakistan war, he displayed immense courage,
[00:19:56] single-handedly fighting four Pakistani Air Force planes
[00:19:59] at Kalaikunda Air Base. The Government of India honored him
[00:20:03] with the country's prestigious gallantry award, the Vir Chakra.
[00:20:07] After retiring from the Air Force, Alfred Cook settled in Australia.
[00:20:11] Recently, he came to India to attend a special event of his No. 14 Squadron.

[00:20:29] express their deep condolences on the demise of Flight Lieutenant Alfred
[00:20:33] Tyron Cooke, a war hero whose courage
[00:21:11] Now, let's talk about the growing threat of a new war in the Gulf.
[00:21:15] Amidst the tension between America and Iran, a front has now opened between Houthi rebels
[00:21:19] and Saudi Arabia. The echoes of missiles and drones
[00:21:22] rising from Yemen are now heard in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
[00:21:25] There is an alert in the Saudi skies, and after these attacks, America has also issued a security warning
[00:21:29] to its citizens.

[00:21:33] Tension in the Gulf was already
[00:21:37] at its peak. The conflict and threats
[00:21:40] between America and Iran continue.
[00:21:43] Meanwhile, from Yemen,
[00:21:46] है, इस बीच यमन के सिर्फ
[00:24:36] politics heated up. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
[00:24:39] Yogi Adityanath retaliated sharply against him. In fact, Hamid
[00:24:43] Ansari, citing India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, had said
[00:24:47] that the real threat to India is not from communism
[00:24:50] but from Hindu right-wing communalism.
[00:24:52] से
[00:24:58] Former Vice President of India Mohammad Hamid Ansari is once
[00:25:02] again at the center of controversies due to his statements. In the
[00:25:06] A.G. Noorani Memorial Lecture held in New Delhi, Hamid Ansari
[00:25:09] made a comment about the country's security and communalism
[00:25:13] that caused an uproar. Hamid Ansari cited an old statement
[00:25:17] by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
[00:25:50] Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that some people's thoughts
[00:25:55] and Sanatan traditions. Mr. Hamid
[00:25:58] Ansari, who as
[00:26:01] the Vice President of India, completed
[00:26:04] his five-year term in the country, gave a statement yesterday.
[00:26:08] It was a very unfortunate statement,
[00:26:10] and it does not even behoove people like us
[00:26:14] to refute or support it.
[00:26:16] करें,
[00:26:19] But his statements
[00:26:20] were
[00:26:24] truly frightening statements.
[00:26:27] Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleged that people holding the country's highest
[00:26:31] constitutional positions
[00:27:03] is constantly being maligned
[00:27:06] by anti-India forces.
[00:27:09] Regarding Hamid Ansari's statement, not only the UP Chief Minister
[00:27:13] but also several senior leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and
[00:27:17] Bharatiya Janata Party have called it an agenda to divide the country
[00:27:20] and insult the majority community.
[00:27:24] Bureau Report, NDTV India. And now let's talk
[00:27:27] about UP politics, where SP and BJP are constantly
[00:27:31] attacking each other. Here, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav made
[00:27:34] a big accusation against the BJP government of demolishing statues of Babasaheb
[00:27:38] Bhimrao Ambedkar, while CM Yogi Adityanath reminded
[00:27:42] of the riots and months-long curfew during the SP's rule.

[00:27:52] The bugle for Mission 2027 has been sounded in Uttar Pradesh politics.
[00:27:55] In the marathon meeting of SP held in Lucknow, a new formula was decided
[00:27:59] to reach power in 2027, while Yogi Adityanath handed over appointment letters
[00:28:03] to 912 youths for UP Police.
[00:28:05] But amidst all this, Yogi Adityanath
[00:28:08] and Akhilesh Yadav were also seen sharply attacking each other's parties.
[00:28:12] First, Akhilesh Yadav revealed his strategy
[00:28:16] We all
[00:28:19] together have
[00:28:23] decided that
[00:28:26] in 27, in every assembly
[00:28:29] constituency, we will work to increase 27,000 votes.
[00:28:32] Or rather,
[00:28:36] we will work to reduce
[00:28:40] 27,000 votes of the Bharatiya Janata Party. And then
[00:28:44] Akhilesh Yadav targeted BJP. Through SP's PDA's
[00:28:47] seventh audit report, it has been claimed that in the current government,
[00:28:51] the rights of backward, Dalit, and minority communities
[00:28:54] have been violated, and over 151 statues of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar
[00:28:57] have been demolished. Now statues
[00:29:01] are being broken, idols are being broken.
[00:29:04] है,
[00:29:07] The Samajwadi Party has audited everything,
[00:29:11] but the Bharatiya Janata Party could not give a single answer.
[00:29:14] On this, UP government minister O.P. Rajbhar said that the most statues
[00:29:18] were broken during the SP rule. When Akhilesh ji came
[00:29:21] to power in 2012 and until 2017, you will see
[00:29:25] that the goons of his Samajwadi Party
[00:29:28] broke the statues of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar. The most statues were broken
[00:29:32] during the Samajwadi Party's government. Meanwhile,
[00:29:36] CM Yogi Adityanath handed over appointment letters
[00:29:39] But from this big platform, the Chief Minister not only taught
[00:29:43] the youth about law and order, but also launched a sharp attack
[00:29:46] on the opposition. CM Yogi said that during the SP's
[00:29:50] time, there were so many riots that curfew used to be imposed for months.
[00:29:53] Every other day there were riots.
[00:29:56] थे,
[00:30:00] Curfew lasted for months.
[00:30:03] Not just one place, what about
[00:30:06] Bareilly, what about Aligarh,
[00:30:09] what about Meerut? In Muzaffarnagar, riots continued
[00:30:13] for six months straight.
[00:30:16] The riots start from Koshi Kalan.
[00:30:18] And there was no town, no
[00:30:22] district,
[00:30:23] no village
[00:30:26] where riots did not happen. SP's
[00:30:30] MP,
[00:30:43] There is no truth in this. This
[00:30:46] tempting and
[00:30:49] attractive
[00:30:52] letter to win elections.
[00:30:56] In this way, the verbal war between BJP and SP has intensified for the upcoming elections.
