Attack during Modi's ‘Mann Ki Baat' programme in Tripura leaves seven BJP workers injured

GUWAHATI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mann Ki Baat' programme at a Tripura village turned violent on Sunday, when an alleged group of Tipra Motha Party (TMP) 'goons' attacked BJP workers, leaving at least seven of them injured. TMP denied its involvement. TMP and BJP are allies and constituents of the state government. The incident occurred at the Taksapara village falling under the Asharambari Assembly constituency in Khowai district. Around 30 BJP workers had assembled at the place to listen to Modi. The injured were admitted to the Khowai district hospital. The condition of two was reportedly critical. About 15 bikes and two cars were also damaged by the attackers. Authorities deployed a large number of security personnel to the place after the incident. No arrest was made when reports last came in.

PM Modi's Chola Tribute, Haridwar Temple Stampede, Maharashtra Welfare Scam & Thailand-Cambodia Clashes

On July 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Gangaikonda Cholapuram in Tamil Nadu for the 'Aadi Thiruvathirai' celebrations honoring Rajendra Chola I. He released a commemorative coin for the emperor and announced grand statues for Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola. The PM also launched development projects worth ₹4,800 crore in Thoothukudi, covering infrastructure and clean energy, and paid homage to soldiers on Kargil Vijay Diwas. A tragic stampede at Mansa Devi Temple in Haridwar left six dead and many injured. The chaos was reportedly triggered by rumors of an electric current near the temple stairs. Authorities are investigating the incident and have promised compensation to affected families. In a shocking misuse of Maharashtra's welfare scheme meant for women, over 14,000 men fraudulently enrolled and claimed ₹1,500 monthly benefits. The scam cost the state ₹21.44 crore. Payments to ineligible beneficiaries have been halted, and stricter verification measures are under review. Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's intervention, clashes resumed between Thailand and Cambodia over a border dispute. Over 30 have died and more than 200,000 people have been displaced. Both nations accuse each other of ceasefire violations, and tensions remain high. Script & Voiceover: Zeeshan Akhtar Editing: Zeeshan Akhtar
