Delhi CM Gupta takes holy dip in Uttarakhand to mark completion of her 100 days in office
The visit began with a holy dip at the revered Har Ki Pauri ghat in Haridwar, followed by a special worship and prayers to Goddess Ganga.
A teenager was successfully rescued from the Ganga river after the car he was in rolled into the river at Nimtala ghat near the Bhutnath temple on Sunday morning. The car was also retrieved from the river after an hour of effort from local people and rescue teams. According to local sources, on Sunday morning, a family from the Anandapur area of South Kolkata came by car to offer prayers at the Bhutnath Temple. While the family members went to the temple, the youngest son remained in the car.
It was at this time that the accident occurred. The teenager apparently caused the mishap while playing with the car’s steering wheel. The car rolled into the Ganges. Locals, upon seeing this, immediately jumped into the river and started the rescue operation. Police and a rescue team arrived at the scene after being informed. The teenager was successfully rescued from the car. The car was also tied with rope and pulled out of the water by the locals and the rescue team. The prompt actions of the locals and the rescue team saved the teenager’s life. Questions are being raised regarding the family’s sense of responsibility

We don’t like to wait. We don’t like to be confined. The times when we are stuck in traffic jams make us feel helpless. The times when we can’t get off the plane or train perhaps, during a long journey makes us restless. Even when we know that the wait is temporary. Not indefinite.
The Mahakumbh at Prayagraj
I was undecided about going to Mahakumbh 2025, more so after the stampede on 29 January. I am a firm believer in God, so I desperately wanted to take a dip in the sacred waters of the Ganga.
