    Chandni Chowk Market Closed After Delhi Blast: Traders Decide Temporary Shutdown Amid Security Concerns

    Old Delhi’s busiest marketplace sealed for safety checks; police

    Following the powerful blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, the historic Chandni Chowk market — one of India’s oldest and most crowded commercial hubs — has been temporarily shut down as part of enhanced security and investigation measures.

    According to police officials, the decision came after consultations with local traders’ associations and security agencies. Markets in and around the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and Fatehpuri areas will remain closed for the next few days until authorities complete forensic examinations and verify the safety of the surroundings.

    The National Investigation Agency (NIA), Delhi Police’s Special Cell, and forensic experts are currently scanning CCTV footage, inspecting nearby buildings, and questioning local shopkeepers. Security checkpoints have been expanded to cover adjoining lanes, metro exits, and parking zones.

    Traders’ association leaders said they voluntarily decided to suspend business activities to support the ongoing investigation and ensure that “no civilian is put at risk.” They also requested the government to deploy additional security forces once the market reopens.

    A senior Delhi Police officer confirmed that the closure is a precautionary measure and not due to any direct threat. “We are conducting detailed checks of electrical connections, vehicles, and storage areas. Public movement will resume once we ensure complete safety,” he said.

    Meanwhile, tourists and visitors have been advised to avoid the Old Delhi area until official clearance is issued. Traffic diversions remain in effect, and metro operations near Red Fort and Chandni Chowk stations are running with restricted entry points.

    Authorities are expected to review the situation after 48–72 hours and then decide on reopening schedules.

  • Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir Set for Supremacy: 27th Amendment to Cement His Power

    Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir Set for Supremacy: 27th Amendment to Cement His Power

    Constitutional overhaul to elevate army chief as unified military-boss

    In a decisive move that may reshape Pakistan’s power architecture, the federal government is poised to table the Twenty‑seventh Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan (27th Amendment). This constitutional revision is widely seen as aimed at strengthening the grip of Field Marshal Asim Munir by further centralizing military and executive authority.

    Among the key proposed changes: amendment of Article 243 to create a new “Commander of Defence Forces (CDF)” role, bringing Army, Navy and Air Force under a unified command. Also on the table: formation of a specialist Constitutional Court, reduction of provincial autonomy, and re-centralization of education and population-welfare ministries.

    Government officials argue the reform is necessary to streamline defence operations and strengthen Pakistan’s readiness following recent hostilities with India. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said the amendment is being introduced “in accordance with law.”

    Critics, however, warn this could mark a major rollback of the 18th Amendment’s devolution of powers and exacerbate the country’s suspension of civilian governance. Opposition parties such as the Pakistan Tehreek‑e‑Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have called the legislation a “power grab”.

    With Munir already holding the rare rank of Field Marshal (only the second in Pakistan’s history), passage of the 27th Amendment would carve his position more firmly into the constitutional framework—and escalate concerns over governance, accountability and the future of democracy in Pakistan.

  • Delhi Government Revises Office Timings Amid Severe Pollution — Check the New Schedule!

    Delhi Government Revises Office Timings Amid Severe Pollution — Check the New Schedule!

    Delhi Adjusts Office Hours to Combat Pollution and Traffic Emissions

    As Delhi continues to battle hazardous levels of air pollution, the city government has announced a change in office timings for its departments and employees. The move comes as part of the broader strategy to reduce vehicular emissions during peak traffic hours and mitigate the rising Air Quality Index (AQI), which has remained in the “severe” category for several days.

    According to the official notification, Delhi Government offices will now operate in two shifts — from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This staggered schedule is designed to ease congestion on the roads by distributing traffic flow more evenly throughout the day. Private offices have also been advised to consider implementing similar timing adjustments or remote work options for employees.

    Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated that the government is taking “every possible measure” to safeguard public health, including restrictions on construction activities, the Odd-Even vehicle scheme, and the use of anti-smog guns in key areas. “Reducing peak-hour congestion is a critical step toward cutting down pollution,” he said.

    Environmental experts have welcomed the decision, noting that vehicular pollution contributes significantly to Delhi’s poor air quality. However, they emphasize that long-term solutions such as promoting public transport, electric vehicles, and strict industrial emission controls are equally necessary.

    The Delhi government has also urged citizens to avoid outdoor activities during high pollution hours and to use N95 masks when stepping outside. Schools have been given the autonomy to adjust schedules or switch to online classes based on air quality conditions.

    Cargo Plane Crashes After Take-Off from Louisville Airport — At Least Three Dead in Fiery Accident

    Tragic Air Disaster in the US:

    Cargo Plane Goes Down Minutes After Take-Off from Louisville

    Louisville, Kentucky (US): A devastating air accident occurred early Wednesday morning when a cargo aircraft crashed shortly after take-off from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, killing at least three crew members on board.

    According to officials, the plane went down just a few miles from the airport, near a wooded area adjacent to a residential neighborhood. Witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion moments after take-off, followed by a massive fireball rising into the sky. Emergency response teams from Louisville Fire and Rescue and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department rushed to the scene to contain the blaze and search for survivors.

    Authorities have confirmed that no civilians on the ground were injured, though debris spread across a wide area, causing damage to some nearby structures. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched a joint investigation to determine the cause of the crash.

    Preliminary reports suggest the aircraft may have experienced engine failure shortly after departure. The type of cargo, flight destination, and airline operator have not yet been disclosed, pending confirmation from aviation authorities.

    Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg expressed condolences to the victims’ families, calling the incident “a heartbreaking tragedy for our city and the aviation community.”

    Investigators are expected to analyze flight data and cockpit voice recorders once they are recovered from the wreckage. Further updates are anticipated as officials release verified information about the cause of the crash.
