COVID-19: Puducherry to impose lockdown till April 26

A fire broke out at the old Transport Authority building in Sheikh Sarai Phase 2 area of Delhi on Wednesday night, gutting important documents stored in the record room, officials said.

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.

The incident occurred at Capital Power System Limited, a company engaged in the manufacture of electricity meters, under the jurisdiction of the Phase 2 police station. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, officials said.

A fire broke out at a fish market late at night on Wednesday in Matiala village in Uttam Nagar, Delhi. It started around 11:50 pm when vendors were packing up their stalls. Flames quickly spread to several nearby slums, threatening the homes of many families.

Metropolitan President Anand Dwivedi stated that the Defence Minister will arrive at Lucknow Airport on March 12th at approximately 8:00 p.m. After departing from the airport, he will attend a family wedding ceremony at 8:30 p.m. and will then spend the night at 5-A, Kalidas Marg.
