Mumbai: the arrival of the government, the arrival of the master, the arrival of the lord, the streets of Mumbai echoed with the loud slogans of “Welcome, welcome, welcome” when the historic Muhammadi procession was taken out from the Khalifat House. The procession was warmly welcomed at every place. The procession was accompanied by a convoy of lovers of the Prophet, reciting Naat and Manaqabat along the way, playing drums. The convoy of lovers of the Prophet passed through the Muslim-majority areas of Nagpara, Madnapura, Do Tanki and other highways and came to a peaceful end at Mastan Talab after reciting Naat, Manaqabat and prayers. Before the procession, a meeting was held at the Khalifat House, where scholars described the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) as a mercy for the worlds and said that today the world has come to his aid. Addressing the gathering, Mufti Hazrat Allama Khaliq Ashraf, Principal of Darul Uloom Ashrafia Mazhar Uloom, said that until 40 years before the announcement of Prophethood, people were indeed human, but they did not have human qualities. He (PBUH) transformed the beasts, i.e., beasts, into humans on the land of Arabia. My Holy Prophet did not come as a mercy only for humans, but he came as a mercy for animals as well. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) visited the house of a deer owner, the deer said that it had two children and wanted permission to breastfeed them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) told the deer owner that this deer is the mother of two children and wants permission to breastfeed her children and will return after breastfeeding. The owner then asked who would guarantee that the deer would return. The Prophet (peace be upon him) guaranteed the return of the deer and the deer returned after breastfeeding. The Prophet (peace be upon him) expressed his desire to buy the deer. The deer owner gave the deer to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and then he untied its rope and set it free. The deer said that you are Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him), you were the only one who could set me free. You (peace be upon him) were merciful not only to humans but also to animals. This Muhammadan procession will be successful when humanity is shown in the procession. If an ambulance comes on the way, give way to it. Eid Priority should be given to welfare works on Milad-un-Nabi and good deeds should be done on the birth of Muhammad (peace be upon him). This will be our true tribute to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council Sachin Ahir said that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) has spread the message of peace and is the standard bearer of justice and humanity. The message of brotherhood and peace is spread in the procession of Eid Milad-un-Nabi and unity is achieved. We are different, our ways of worship are unique, but our homeland is one and our goal is to promote unity. Member of Parliament Congress Senior Leader Imran Pratap Garhi started his speech with a poem and said that.

I respect all the people in the world, but after Mustafa, Imran Pratap Garhi narrated the history of the Khilafat Movement and said that Gandhiji had started the Non-Cooperation Movement along with the Khilafat Movement. When the Messenger of Allah was sent into the world, he was sent as a mercy for the whole world. India is like a bouquet and we have made countless sacrifices for the freedom of this country. Therefore, the unity and solidarity of this country is its specialty. Former MLA Waris Pathan said that this is not a political procession, by the grace of Allah Almighty, we have all gathered here to celebrate the birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet. MLA Amin Patel said that you (PBUH) have come to this earth as a mercy for the worlds and we, the lovers of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), celebrate his birth anniversary. Member of Assembly Manoj Jamsatkar said that the Khilafat Committee is of historical importance and the procession of Milad is taken out from here. You (PBUH) have broken the chains of ignorance, oppression and oppression and given a new life to humanity. After the meeting, after the prayers and greetings, the meeting took the form of a procession. In the procession, the leader of the procession, Allama Khaliq Ashraf, Congress leader and MP Imran Parpapgarhi, MP Amin Patel and others rode in an open jeep and led the procession. The procession was given a grand welcome by the Baikla Fruit Market. Before the vehicle of these leaders, a convoy of lovers of the Prophet was playing Naat and Manaqabat of the Prophet of Mercy in a respectful and respectful manner, which was very unique. The procession also included tableaux of the holy place, in which the attractions of Medina and Mecca were also included on trucks. In view of Eid Milad-un-Nabi, the police had also made strict security arrangements. Additional Commissioner Central Region Vikram Di Mane, along with the procession staff, was on duty to provide security for the procession. No untoward incident of any kind was reported during the procession and the procession ended peacefully.

Lucknow, Aug 26: Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Wednesday made several major election announcements focusing on women, including an annual financial assistance of Rs 40,000 to every woman under the ‘Stri Samman Samriddhi Yojana’.

SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that this amount would be further increased if they came to power in Uttar Pradesh.

He also promised laptops for girls who passed the 12th grade, transportation facilities for girl students, reopening 26,000 closed primary schools, and ensuring women’s safety.

Mainpuri MP Dimple Yadav, referring to the “A” in the party’s PDA as “half the population”, said that respecting women and empowering them economically is the party’s priority.

PDA stands for Pichhda (backward classes), Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (minorities), a core social coalition strategy coined by Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav.

She appealed to women not to be “bound by old customs and social restrictions”.

During the event, Akhilesh Yadav said that the progress of the country and the state is impossible without the participation of half the population.

He asserted that the Samajwadi Party will work for the respect, security, and economic self-reliance of women.

Taking a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the SP Chief said, “Even those who do not understand technology are now talking about distributing tablets… For the BJP, women have become merely a political slogan.”

Referring to the ‘1090’ women’s helpline and the ‘102’ ambulance service launched during the Samajwadi Party government, Akhilesh Yadav said that the party had done “concrete work” in women’s safety and healthcare.

He raised the issue of women’s reservation, questioning the delay in implementing the Women’s Reservation Act, which had already been passed.

He demanded that women’s reservation be implemented in the upcoming elections.

The SP President also announced transportation facilities for women and female students, and said, “Women should become independent and empowered. Women’s mobility will be improved. Facilities like free metro travel will be available to female students through a card… The Samajwadi Party works to unite people with a progressive mindset, and PDA is its unifying slogan.”

Akhilesh Yadav also took a jibe at the Uttar Pradesh government’s ‘Lokmata Ahilyabai Matrishakti Yatra Yojana’ announced for elderly women.

“We have to keep our offices fully shielded. Our plans are reaching there (the government). I don’t understand why we plan something, and then the information gets leaked. This is the result of making bus travel free for elderly women,” he said.

He added that the Samajwadi Party is a party with progressive ideas and adapts to the times and circumstances.

The SP Chief said that if his government is formed in Uttar Pradesh, the 26,000 previously closed primary schools will be reopened and the conditions of Anganwadi centres will be improved.

He also announced the resumption of the bicycle scheme, saying that bicycles will be provided to students as before under the Samajwadi government.

Regarding women’s facilities, Akhilesh Yadav talked about the construction of better public toilets.

He said that public toilets should be given the respectful name “Izzatghar”.

“The Samajwadi Party would work to alleviate women’s insecurity and provide complete freedom to half the population,” he added.

Jaipur, Aug 26: In a major road-safety initiative aimed at reducing accidents and saving lives, the Jaipur Range Police has launched ‘Operation Safer Road’, a technology-driven initiative under which accident-prone zones on national and state highways in the Jaipur Range have been integrated with Google Maps.

The initiative is designed to alert motorists when they approach identified accident-prone locations, enabling them to reduce speed and exercise greater caution before reaching potentially dangerous stretches.

Jaipur Range IG Rahul Prakash said the black spots were identified through a scientific analysis of road accident and fatality data collected over the past three years. He said the objective was not only to identify accident-prone locations but also to use technology to provide timely warnings to motorists and promote safer driving.

Based on accident data from 2023 to 2025, police have identified 101 black spots across the Jaipur Range. The identified locations include Jaipur Rural: 28, Dausa: 24, Kotputli-Behror: 19, Alwar: 11, Sikar: 10, Bhiwadi: 5, Khairthal-Tijara: and Jhunjhunu: 1.

The classification of these locations has been based not only on the number of accidents but primarily on the severity of fatalities recorded at the sites during the three-year period. Under the initiative, motorists using Google Maps for navigation on highways within the Jaipur Range will receive a road-safety alert when approaching a designated accident-prone zone.

The advance warning is intended to encourage drivers to slow down, remain alert and adjust their driving according to road conditions. The Jaipur Range Police has also developed a QR code-based digital facility as part of Operation Safer Road. By scanning the QR code, users can access information about identified black spots through Google Maps.

The information includes the location, risk category, geographical coordinates and other relevant road-safety details. Police officials first conducted a detailed analysis of police records, traffic information and accident data collected from highways. Each identified accident-prone location was subsequently verified geographically and digitally mapped. Technical information related to the locations was then prepared for integration with Google Maps.

IG Rahul Prakash said the initiative represents an important step towards using technology to reduce road fatalities.

Following the pilot implementation in the Jaipur Range, the police have sent a proposal to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) seeking expansion of the system to highways across Rajasthan and eventually other parts of the country.

The Jaipur Range Police expects that timely digital warnings at accident-prone locations will help motorists exercise greater caution and contribute to reducing road accidents and fatalities.
