Solve traders' issues on priority basis: DM
Kanpur: District magistrate Jitendra Pratap Singh on Saturday instructed the officials to ensure solution of trade related problems on priority basis. Singh was chairing a Vyapar Bandhu meeting with traders. The traders informed that during rainy days, many areas including Lajpat Nagar, Ranjit Nagar, Gumti Number Five, Kaushalpuri, Sant Nagar kabadi market, JK Mandir Marg, Sarvodaya Nagar and Guru Nanak School Marg face waterlogging and traffic jams, due to which traffic remains affected for hours. The DM asked the municipal xorporation to take concrete action on this. On the problem of drainage of rain water in Transport Nagar located in Babupurwa, he directed to prepare DPR and ordered necessary action. The traders also raised the issue of begging at major intersections in the city, which poses a risk of accidents when traffic signals are off. Reacting over it, Singh stated that this was a serious social challenge, which would be resolved in a phased manner under the Smile scheme of the Central Govt and efforts would be made towards rehabilitation. On the demand for removal of traffic lights which were inoperative for years at places like Moolganj, Afeem Kothi and Deputy Padhva, he assured that appropriate action would be taken in this regard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo The problem of non-availability of pink toilets for women in Shastri Nagar market and encroachment on major commercial places were also raised prominently in the meeting, on which necessary instructions were given to concerned officials by the district magistrate.

Israeli gunshots, strikes kill at least 25 in Gaza, some while seeking aid
Israeli airstrikes and gunshots overnight killed at least 25 people, according to Palestinian health officials and the ambulance service on Saturday, as ceasefire talks appear to have stalled and Gaza faces famine. The majority of victims were killed by gunfire as they waited for aid trucks close to the Zikim crossing with Israel, said staff at Shifa hospital, where the bodies were brought.

Techno Mag Learn More Undo Those killed in strikes include four people in an apartment building in Gaza City, among others, hospital staff and the ambulance service said. The strikes come as ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have hit a standstill after the US and Israel recalled their negotiating teams on Thursday, throwing the future of the talks into further uncertainty. Live Events Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday his government was considering "alternative options" to ceasefire talks with Hamas. His comments came as a Hamas official said negotiations were expected to resume next week and portrayed the recall of the Israeli and American delegations as a pressure tactic. Egypt and Qatar, which are mediating the talks alongside the United States, said the pause was only temporary and that talks would resume, though they did not say when. Experts and the UN warn of famine For desperate Palestinians, a ceasefire can't come soon enough. The United Nations and experts say that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition. While Israel's army says it's allowing aid into the enclave with no limit on the number of trucks that can enter, the UN says it is hampered by Israeli military restrictions on its movements and incidents of criminal looting. The Zikim crossing shootings come days after at least 80 Palestinians were killed trying to reach aid entering through the same crossing. Israel's military said at the time its soldiers shot at a gathering of thousands of Palestinians who posed a threat, and that it was aware of some casualties. During the shootings Friday night, Sherif Abu Aisha said people started running when they saw a light that they thought was from the aid trucks, but as they got close, they realised it was from Israel's tanks. That's when the army started firing on people, he told The Associated Press. He said his uncle, a father of eight, was among those killed. "We went because there is no food ... and nothing was distributed," he said. Israel is facing increased international pressure to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza . More than two dozen Western-aligned countries and over 100 charity and human rights groups have called for an end to the war, harshly criticising Israel's blockade and a new aid delivery model it has rolled out. The charities and rights groups said even their own staff were struggling to get enough food. For the first time in months, Israel said it is allowing airdrops, requested by Jordan. A Jordanian official said the airdrops will mainly be food and milk formula. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote in a newspaper article on Saturday that the UK was "working urgently" with Jordan to get British aid into Gaza. Aid group the World Central Kitchen said on Friday that it was resuming limited cooking operations in Deir al-Balah after being forced to halt due to a lack of food supplies. It said it's trying to serve 60,000 meals daily through its field kitchen and partner community kitchens, less than half of what it's cooked over the previous month.
