Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear that the lockdown will not be implemented. If anyone spreads rumors and shares misleading information on social media, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, a criminal case will be registered against him. The Chief Minister said that the Central Government has made it clear regarding the lockdown that the lockdown will not be implemented, so do not spread such rumors. On the shortage of gas and oil in the Iran-Israel war, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that India has a month’s supply of oil and gas, so no one should try to create an artificial shortage and do not hoard by lining up at the petrol pump. If anyone does so, it will create an artificial shortage. To prevent oil prices from increasing due to the war, 10% excise duty has been reduced so that consumers do not have to bear the burden of this. The oil companies will bear it, and the government will also cooperate in this. He said that even in a crisis situation, the situation in India is better. He has made it clear that a cut was made in the commercial cylinder, but it has now been brought to 50%. He said that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel and please do not spread any rumors. The situation is better. Even in such situations, no charge has been increased on anything including petrol and diesel. For this, I thank the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Due to India’s better foreign policy, the situation will soon return to normal.

Mumbai: A 55-year-old priest lost his life in a tragic road accident involving a BEST bus on the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) in Kurla, Mumbai, on Thursday afternoon. The deceased has been identified as Trivikram Shripad Acharya, a resident of Nehru Nagar in Kurla West.

According to police, the incident occurred around 12:30 pm when an electric bus operated by the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) allegedly rammed into his scooter. Following the collision, Acharya fell onto the road, after which the rear wheels of the bus reportedly ran over him, leading to his death on the spot.

The Kurla Police have taken the bus driver, Kamlesh Kumar Baranlal (42), into custody and booked him for causing death by negligence. Officials confirmed that prima facie there is no evidence of drunk driving, though the driver underwent a medical examination as part of standard procedure. A formal case is being registered and further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events.

In a separate incident earlier the same day, a major accident was narrowly averted in Prabhadevi when another BEST bus lost control and mounted a road divider while trying to avoid a collision.

The incident took place around 7:49 am near the Bombay Dyeing bus stop. The bus, operating on route number 167, was travelling from P.K. Kurne Chowk towards Prabhadevi railway station when a car coming from the opposite direction suddenly took a U-turn. In an attempt to avoid a crash, the driver applied emergency brakes, causing the vehicle to veer off and climb onto the divider, where it got stuck.

Passengers on board experienced moments of panic due to the sudden jolt, but no injuries were reported among commuters or pedestrians. Authorities later managed to bring the situation under control and clear the obstruction.
