UP: Three killed after boat capsizes in Hamirpur's Virma river
Hamirpur (UP) [India], Jan. 15 (ANI): In yet another horrifying incident, at least three people including two children were today killed after a boat capsized in Hamirpur's Virma river in Uttar Pradesh. As per reports, three others are still missing. This comes a day after 24 people were killed when a country boat capsized in river Ganga near NIT ghat in Patna, Bihar. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today sanctioned an ex-gratia of Rs. two lakh each to the next of kin of those killed in the Bihar boat tragedy. He also announced Rs. 50,000 each to those seriously injured from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had earlier ordered an inquiry into the boat tragedy.

"Opposition lacks facts for no confidence motion": Anurag Thakur

"The opposition has brought a no-confidence motion against the Lok Sabha Speaker. Rahul Gandhi had the opportunity to speak for as long as he wanted, as time was allotted for his party. However, they lack facts, arguments, and any substantial basis. Today, the opposition stands completely exposed. The nation has seen how some members dance on tables, tear up papers and throw them at the Speaker, use pepper spray, and bring banners into the House. Such members should naturally be suspended according to the rules and should not be given a chance to speak," he said.
