Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami conducted a surprise inspection of 'Kavad Patti' at Haridwar's Shankaracharya Chowk on Saturday following the ongoing Kawad Yatra.
Undertaking a daring mission, an Indian Coast Guard ship, 'Abheek' which is based at Okha Port in Devbhumi Dwarka district, rescued five fishermen from a boat, stranded at sea, officials said on Saturday.
No casualty or injury to anyone was reported in the incident that took place at around 7:00 am near the Mangala Chowk in Bilaspur district, officials said.
Tamil Nadu DGP Shankar Jiwal, IG South Zone Asra Garg, and other police officials paid their last respects to the mortal remains of Coimbatore Range DIG Vijayakumar, who allegedly shot himself to death at his camp office in Coimbatore on Friday.
According to the officials, inclement weather conditions in the union territory caused a delay to the annual Amarnath Yatra and suspended the yatra from both the Pahalgam and the Baltal routes.
Army officials said that such drills are carried out to prepare for contingencies where they have to take action against the adversaries if they try to capture Indian areas by using the routes of valleys in this area.
