Huge fire breaks out in Gurugram's Sheetla Colony

As part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ programme was organised across Haryana on Thursday, during which ministers, legislators and a large number of party workers lit lakhs of diyas, conveying the message of service, values, harmony and human compassion. The glow of the diyas created an atmosphere filled with spirituality and enthusiasm.

The initiative was launched in collaboration with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and coincided with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday carried out searches at three premises linked to businessman and former Minister of State for Haryana Gopal Goyal Kanda in connection with a Rs 248.46 crore alleged money laundering probe.

Two workers died and two others were seriously injured after being run over by a car around 2:30 am on Thursday, while they were installing grills on the Dwarka Expressway. 

Rescue teams responded to the incidents and successfully rescued seven people, who were subsequently hospitalised. Nine bodies were recovered, while search operations were underway for one person reported missing, the department said.
