<p><strong>Nirvana Mahotsav 2025 Accident:</strong> A religious event was underway as part of the Nirvana Mahotsav in Barout, Baghpat. Organisers had constructed a 65-foot-high wooden stage. The stairs of this 65-foot-high platform suddenly collapsed, causing numerous devotees to fall on top of each other. Seven people died in the accident, and more than 75 were injured.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Entire Scaffolding Collapsed</h2>



<p>The accident occurred between 7 and 8 am. During the Nirvana Mahotsav, a ceremony was taking place to offer <i>laadu</i> (prasad) to Lord Adinath. Organisers had erected a 65-foot-high wooden stage for this purpose, with a 4-5 foot high statue of the deity placed on top. Devotees were climbing the makeshift stairs to reach the deity when the entire scaffolding collapsed under the weight, leading to a stampede. Seven people died in the incident, and over 75 were injured. Due to a lack of ambulances, the injured were transported to the hospital in e-rickshaws and handcarts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People Lying Injured on the Ground</h2>



<p>Images emerging from the aftermath show several people writhing on the ground, covered in blood. The situation was so chaotic that there was a lack of any organised assistance. People were being moved from one place to another amidst the fallen timber of the collapsed scaffolding.</p>



<p>Those who died in the accident include Taraspāl (66), son of Hukamchand; Amit (35), son of Naresh Chand; Arun (48), son of Keshav Ram; Usha (24), wife of Surendra; Shilpi (24), daughter of Sunil Jain; Vineet Jain (40), son of Surendra; and Kamlesh Jain (65), wife of Suresh Chand. The injured are receiving treatment.</p>



<p>Baghpat DM Asmita Lal confirmed the deaths of five people. The sixth death was confirmed by the hospital. According to the SP, this event has been held for 25 years, attracting Jain community members from across the country. An investigation has been launched into how the stage structure was constructed. The situation is under control.</p>

Four murder accused found in MP hotel, wielding swords after slashing victims


<p>A gruesome quadruple murder took place in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, on Monday. Four young men were brutally killed in broad daylight in Timri village, near Patan. The assailants, after hacking the victims to death, brandished their swords and fled the scene. On Tuesday, suspects in this heinous crime were apprehended from Pachmarhi, a hill station in Narmadapuram district.</p>



<p>Seven suspects were taken into custody by Jabalpur police in a raid at the Samarth Home Stay hotel in Pachmarhi. This action was taken in connection with the murder of the four young men in Timri village. The suspects, their faces covered with cloth, were transported to Jabalpur. Reports suggest that all the suspects arrived in Pachmarhi at night in a car without number plates.</p>



<p>Four individuals from two families were murdered in Timri, Patan, Jabalpur. On Tuesday, when the ambulances carrying the bodies arrived in the village after post-mortem examinations, the relatives blocked the Jabalpur-Damoh highway. Only after persuasion by MP Ashish Dubey and police officials did the relatives relent and take the bodies for the last rites. The highway remained blocked for about an hour and a half.</p>



<p>Sources suggest that Jabalpur police have apprehended 10 accused in the murders. Some of these accused were hiding in a hotel in Pachmarhi fearing arrest. However, Jabalpur police have not yet confirmed this information.</p>

<p><strong>Budget 2025:</strong> Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget (Budget 2025) on 1 February 2025. This budget is expected to include significant measures to boost internet access in rural India. It could play a decisive role in bridging the digital divide and connecting the country&#8217;s rural areas to the internet mainstream.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Current Status of Internet Usage in Rural India </h2>



<p>By the start of 2025, India is projected to have over 900 million internet users, with a significant contribution from rural areas. Of the total 886 million users in 2024, 55% were from rural India. On average, an Indian individual spends 91 minutes online daily, while rural users spend approximately 89 minutes online. These figures indicate the rapid growth of digital service usage in rural areas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for Internet Adoption in Rural Areas</h2>



<p>Several key factors are driving the increase in internet usage in rural India:</p>



<ol>
<li><strong>Accessibility of Mobile Data:</strong> Mobile data prices have decreased by up to 90% since 2016, making it one of the world&#8217;s most affordable markets.</li>



<li><strong>Smartphone Usage:</strong> With 1.2 billion smartphone users in India, affordable devices have helped connect rural users to the internet.</li>



<li><strong>Content in Local Languages:</strong> 57% of users in rural areas prefer content in local languages, increasing their likelihood of digital engagement.</li>



<li><strong>Government Schemes:</strong> Programmes like BharatNet have worked to bring broadband connectivity to gram panchayats.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Previous Budgets and Government Initiatives</h2>



<p>The 2024 budget allocated ₹1.28 lakh crore to the Ministry of Communications. This funding was used to improve telecom infrastructure and support schemes like BharatNet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tarun Pathak, Director, Counterpoint Research, said</h2>



<p>According to Tarun Pathak, Director of Counterpoint Research, the first phase of the National Broadband Mission (NBM) did not fully achieve its goals. Therefore, Budget 2025 should include specific provisions for NBM 2.0. Furthermore, strengthening the Digital India Fund (DIF) initiative is crucial, as it will help increase connectivity in remote and rural areas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expectations from Budget 2025</h2>



<p>The telecom industry expects the following measures from this budget (Budget 2025):</p>



<ol>
<li><strong>Tax Reforms:</strong> There is a demand to reduce import duties and other taxes on telecom service providers. This would increase infrastructure investment.</li>



<li><strong>Investment in Digital Infrastructure:</strong> Allocation of funds is necessary to increase connectivity in rural areas.</li>



<li><strong>Support for Local Manufacturing:</strong> Local smartphone manufacturing can be promoted through tax incentives.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Measures to Increase Internet Access</h2>



<p>The government can increase internet access in rural India by taking the following steps:</p>



<p><strong>Increase budget for digital infrastructure:</strong> Increasing funds for projects like BharatNet.<br><strong>Public-private partnerships:</strong> Encouraging partnerships between government and private telecom companies.<br><strong>Incentivizing local manufacturers:</strong> Providing subsidies to local manufacturers to reduce smartphone prices.<br><strong>Digital literacy programmes:</strong> Educational initiatives to teach the rural population how to effectively use digital services.<br><strong>Content in local languages:</strong> Promoting digital content in local languages.</p>

<p>Mauni Amavasya is considered an extremely auspicious date in Hinduism, and bathing in the Sangam on this day holds special significance. It is believed that bathing in the holy river on this day destroys all sins and leads to salvation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10 District DMs and SPs Take Charge</h2>



<p>Given the expected crowds of millions of devotees for the bathing festival, the administration has made stringent arrangements.

Baba Ramdev Criticises Mamta Kulkarni&#39;s Appointment as Mahamandaleshwar


<p><strong>Baba Ramdev Reacts to Mamta Kulkarni&#8217;s Appointment:</strong> Following Bollywood actress Mamta Kulkarni&#8217;s appointment as a Mahamandaleshwar at the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, yoga guru Baba Ramdev has responded. Ramdev clearly stated that a true Kumbh is not merely about creating such saints. Adding &#8220;Baba&#8221; before anyone&#8217;s name is wrong. He also expressed displeasure at the vulgarity being spread in the Kumbh through reels. Baba Ramdev&#8217;s statement has caused a stir on social media. While some are happy about Mamta Kulkarni&#8217;s appointment, many are questioning her elevation to Mahamandaleshwar.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baba Ramdev&#8217;s Statement on Mamta Kulkarni</h2>



<p>Millions of devotees are attending the Kumbh Mela, which occurs once every 144 years. On Friday, Mamta Kulkarni, a former famous Bollywood actress, visited the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. There, she took a dip in the Sangam and announced her renunciation of worldly life. Subsequently, she was appointed Mahamandaleshwar of the Kinnar Akhada. This has sparked controversy. Baba Ramdev has now reacted angrily. Speaking to the media, he said, &#8220;Some have become Mahamandaleshvars; adding &#8216;Baba&#8217; before anyone&#8217;s name&#8230; Promoting any kind of vulgar acts or reels in the name of Kumbh is not right. The true Kumbh is where one ascends from humanity to divinity, to rishihood, to Brahmatva.&#8221;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramdev Explains the Significance of Mahamandaleshwar </h2>



<p>Ramdev further stated, &#8220;One thing is to feel, live, and promote Sanātana Dharma. Another is to merely utter shallow words in the name of Sanātana Dharma; that is not true Sanātana Dharma. Sanātana Dharma is the eternal truth that cannot be denied. Sainthood cannot be achieved in a day. It requires years of penance. We have spent 50-50 years in achieving this sainthood. This is called sainthood. Being a sadhu is a big deal. Being a Mahamandaleshwar is a very significant position. Nowadays, I see that anyone can be made a Mahamandaleshwar by simply grabbing their head. This should not happen.&#8221; It is noteworthy that earlier, the head of Bageshwar Dham Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also objected to Mamta Kulkarni&#8217;s appointment as Mahamandaleshwar.</p>

<p><strong>Sky Force Box Office Collection:</strong> The film <em>Sky Force</em> was released on 24 January. From its first day, the film had a spectacular collection, but on the fourth day, the film&#8217;s earnings plummeted. After the opening, <em>Sky Force</em> had a phenomenal collection over the weekend, collecting over ₹50 crore in just three days. Now, on the fourth day, a weekday, Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya&#8217;s film has taken a nosedive. Let&#8217;s find out how much <em>Sky Force</em> collected on its fourth day…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sky Force Fizzles on Fourth Day </h2>



<p>From the opening of <em>Sky Force</em>, fans and makers alike expected the film to be Akshay&#8217;s 2025 superhit. However, the figures for 27 January have surprised everyone. The film collected only ₹6.25 crore on its fourth day, Monday. The film&#8217;s total earnings now stand at ₹68.50 crore.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="338" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image_3fc09f.png" alt="Sky Force Box Office Collection Day 4" class="wp-image-19351841" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image_3fc09f.png 600w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/image_3fc09f.png?resize=300,169 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Veer Pahariya and Sara Ali Khan&#8217;s Pair in Sky Force Wins Over Fans </h2>



<p>The budget of <em>Sky Force</em> is reportedly ₹160 crore. The film&#8217;s story is set during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War. Besides Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur also play lead roles. Audiences are particularly enjoying the pairing of Veer Pahariya and Sara. Abhishek Anil Kapoor and Sandeep Khelwani directed the film. While it was initially predicted to be a superhit for Akshay, the fourth-day collection may now dash the makers&#8217; hopes.</p>

<p><strong>Heart Attack:</strong> Eight mistakes that trigger heart disease (Heart Disease) and how they increase the risk of a heart attack. The risk of heart attacks is now increasingly seen even in younger people. A heart attack can strike at any time, and often, some of our unwitting mistakes contribute to it. Certain activities can trigger a heart attack, so let&#8217;s find out what these eight mistakes are.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Activities that Invite a Heart Attack </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Overexertion</strong></h3>



<p>While exertion is good for maintaining a healthy heart, overexertion can sometimes cause heart failure. Doing too much at once will not only cause physical harm but also increase the risk of a heart attack. If you are not used to regular exercise, sudden physical exertion can be a potential cause of a heart attack.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Exposure to Extremely Cold Temperatures or Cold Showers</strong></h3>



<p>Exposure to extremely cold temperatures or suddenly pouring very cold water over your head increases the risk of a heart attack. Exposure to cold causes constriction of the arteries, leading to a sudden increase in blood pressure. This condition can trigger a heart attack.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Risk During Sexual Intercourse</strong></h3>



<p>A strenuous sexual session can also trigger a heart attack, especially in those already at risk of heart disease. For people over 50, the likelihood of a heart attack increases by 2.7% during sexual intercourse.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Drugs or Alcohol</strong></h3>



<p>Alcohol and drugs themselves pose a risk of heart attack. If you mix alcohol with other substances or take two drugs together, your risk of a heart attack doubles.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lack of Sleep</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1422" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/heart-attack-symptoms_c5e3d5.jpg?w=640" alt="These 8 mistakes can cause heart attack" class="wp-image-19350488" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/heart-attack-symptoms_c5e3d5.jpg 1422w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/heart-attack-symptoms_c5e3d5.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/heart-attack-symptoms_c5e3d5.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/heart-attack-symptoms_c5e3d5.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1422px) 100vw, 1422px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">These 8 mistakes can cause heart attack</figcaption></figure>



<p>Lack of sleep is associated with obesity, blood pressure, depression, and the risk of heart attack. People who sleep less than six hours a day have a higher risk of heart attack than those who sleep eight hours.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Heavy Meals in Large Quantities</strong></h3>



<p>Eating very large or heavy meals regularly increases levels of norepinephrine, a hormone responsible for increasing heart rate and blood pressure.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ignoring Migraines</strong></h3>



<p>Migraines can also cause heart attacks at a young age. People who experience strange visual, auditory, or sensory phenomena during migraine headaches have a higher risk of heart attack. Therefore, never take migraines lightly and seek proper treatment. Ignoring migraines can lead to heart failure.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Living in Pollution</strong></h3>



<p>Fine dust particles and fumes from vehicles can significantly damage the heart. These particles cause blood clots, which can ultimately lead to heart attacks.</p>



<p>So, remember that by being aware of certain illnesses, eating habits, and conditions, you can avoid heart attacks.</p>

<p><strong>MP News:</strong> Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Dr Mohan Yadav hoisted the Tricolour at a ceremony held in Indore&#8217;s Nehru Stadium. Following this, he observed cultural programmes performed by school children. During this time, CM Mohan announced that two megacities would be created by combining several cities. He also highlighted the achievements of the state government.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nine Districts to be Combined to Create Two Megacities</h2>



<p>The CM stated that Ujjain, Indore, Dewas, and Dhar will be combined to form one megacity. Similarly, Bhopal, Sehore, Raisen, Vidisha, and Rajgarh will be merged to create another. Discussions regarding the formation of these two megacities have been ongoing for several months. This development is expected to boost economic growth in the surrounding rural areas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1450-Kilometre-Long Shriram Van Gaman Path to be Constructed</h2>



<p>CM Mohan announced the decision to construct a 1450-kilometre-long Shriram Van Gaman Path in the state. A plan has also been formulated to connect pilgrimage sites associated with the life of Lord Krishna through the creation of a ‘Shri Krishna Pathey’. He expressed his happiness at the state&#8217;s rich history connected to Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, stating that the government aims to revive this glorious chapter in the state&#8217;s history. The construction of a Gita Bhavan in every urban body has also been approved.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Government to Manage Public Transport</h2>



<p>The CM further stated that Madhya Pradesh was the only state in the country where the absence of a government-run public transport system had led to reliance on private operators. The government has now decided to manage public transport itself, ensuring connectivity from village to village. This will strengthen transport infrastructure in both megacities and rural areas.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Central Government&#8217;s Focus on State Development</h2>



<p>The Chief Minister acknowledged the central government&#8217;s support in various projects, including the metro train project and the Indore-Manmad rail line. The central government has sanctioned ₹3500 crore for national highways. Projects worth ₹350 crore, including an elevated corridor in Indore, have also been approved. Permission has been granted to upgrade the Bhopal-Kanpur economic corridor to a four-lane highway. Significant progress has also been made in expanding aviation services.</p>

<p>Pushkar-Merta Rail Line Project: Work has commenced on the first package of the much-anticipated 60km Pushkar-Merta rail line. The project work will begin from Pushkar railway station.</p>



<p>In the first phase, work worth approximately ₹100 crore has been underway for a fortnight. This package includes the construction of the railway station, underpasses, bridges, and buildings. Subsequently, in the second phase, the main track laying will be undertaken at a cost of ₹600 crore.</p>



<p>Following administrative and financial approvals from the government, the commencement of work in Pushkar on the first phase of the Pushkar-Merta rail line has further strengthened the hopes of those eagerly awaiting its completion. Work on the ground has begun after the completion of land acquisition, underbridges, overbridges, and surveys.</p>



<p>In fact, the railway line coming from Ajmer had been laid up to Pushkar and then work was stopped. After various obstacles and a long wait of several years, work has finally resumed in Pushkar.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?w=640" alt="Pushkar-Merta rail line project" class="wp-image-19345704" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Pushkar-Merta-rail-line-project-3-2.jpg?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure>

<p>The Ministry of Railways has prepared a map of the fields through which the rail line will pass in Pushkar and Pisangan tehsils of Ajmer district and Merta and Riyambdi tehsils of Nagaur district and has issued a notification of Khasra numbers for land acquisition. Objections have been invited. The Pushkar-Merta rail line will pass through 23 villages in Merta, Riyambdi, and Pushkar tehsils.</p>

<p>With the commencement of work on the first phase of the Pushkar-Merta rail line, which is significant from a religious and tourism perspective, a positive expectation has been generated among lakhs of people in Nagaur and Ajmer districts. The completion of this line will give a tremendous boost to tourism.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work included in the first package</h2>



<p>Suresh Punglia, the contractor of the contracting company for the Pushkar-Merta rail line, informed that the first package, worth approximately ₹100 crore, has commenced with the construction of quarters, buildings, and offices in Pushkar. Simultaneously, work is also underway to widen the railway track by 10 cm. The contractor stated that under this package, underpasses will be constructed at all road crossings, along with two large bridges, and the construction of stations in Bhainsda and Nand, and the expansion of the Pushkar railway station.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work to be undertaken in the second phase</h2>



<p>Meanwhile, the second phase of the Pushkar-Merta rail line will involve work worth approximately ₹600 crore. This includes earthwork for the rail line and track laying. This work will be crucial. The project is expected to be completed within three years.</p>



<p>Work commenced in Pushkar in the first phase after the financial approval. Construction of quarters and buildings began 15 days ago. This phase will include three stations, underpasses, bridges, and widening of the railway track.<br><strong>-Abhay Singh Bhainsda</strong>, Former Member, Railway Advisory Committee</p>
