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