UP: Kanwariyas showered with flower petals; Muslims in Sambhal among those welcoming them
Barabanki/Ayodhya/Basti/Sambhal , Kanwariyas, or Shiva devotees, on Tuesday were showered with flower petals in various districts, including Sambhal, which witnessed violence last year over a dispute related to Shahi Jama Masjid. UP: Kanwariyas showered with flower petals; Muslims in Sambhal among those welcoming them As the yatra entered its 11th day, the district administration of Barabanki, Sambhal, Ayodhya and Basti districts greeted the devotees with petals as they arrived at various temples in these districts to perform rituals. Communal harmony was on full display in Sambhal district as Muslims, along with authorities, showered rose flowers on kanwariyas. Sambhal witnessed violence in November 2024 after locals clashed with government officials over a court-ordered survey of Shahi Jama Masjid, located in Kot Garvi area of the city. The violence resulted in the death of four people. In Barabanki, District Magistrate Shashank Tripathi and Superintendent of Police Arpit Vijayvargiya supervised the aerial shower on devotees, who gathered at the ancient Mahadeva Shiva temple in Ramnagar tehsil. Virendra Kumar Awasthi, chief priest of the Mahadeva temple, lauded the initiative, calling it a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering faith of the devotees. Tight security arrangements were made for the event to ensure the safety of the crowd on Tuesday, officials said. The Mahadeva temple becomes a major pilgrim site during Shravan, drawing devotees from across the region. In Ayodhya, marigold and rose petals were showered on the Shiva devotees walking barefoot in large numbers. District Magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde and Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Grover rained flowers from a helicopter on the kanwariyas visiting Hanumangarhi Temple, Nageshwarnath Temple, Darshan Marg, Saryu Ghat, Lata Mangeshkar Chowk and the Ram Temple. Seventy kilometres east of Ayodhya, similar scenes were witnessed in Basti district, where Divisional Commissioner Akhilesh Singh and Deputy Inspector General of Police, Sanjeev Tyagi, showered flowers while conducting aerial inspection of security arrangements for kanwariyas. The Shiva devotees were visiting ancient Bhadeshwarnath Temple to perform jalabhishek and other rituals, officials said.

US govt employee banned from leaving China
Agency: PTI Washington, Jul 22 (AP) A US government employee has been banned from leaving China after travelling there in a personal capacity, the State Department said Tuesday, marking the latest case where Beijing has stopped US nationals from departing the country. The State Department did not reveal the identity of the employee at the US Patent and Trademark Office, which is part of the Commerce Department, but said it is 'tracking this case very closely" and that it is engaged with Chinese officials to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. 'The Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens," it said. The Chinese government restricts people from leaving the country if they are involved in investigations, including business disputes, but it has been accused of using the tool to arbitrarily keep both Chinese and foreign nationals in the country. China's use of the exit ban and other concerns previously prompted the State Department to tell Americans to reconsider travel to China. The travel advisory was only eased in November after China released three US citizens who were detained for years. It's one of the latest instances of such travel restrictions. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Chenyue Mao, a US-based Wells Fargo banker, was blocked from leaving China, prompting the bank to suspend all travel to the country. Guo Jiakun, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, said Mao is 'involved in a criminal case currently being handled by Chinese law-enforcement authorities" and that she is 'subject to exit restrictions in accordance with the law". 'Let me stress that it is an individual judicial case," Guo said. 'China will as always welcome people from all countries to travel and do business in China and ensure their rights and interests in accordance with the law." Asked about the case involving the US government employee, Guo said: 'I have no details to share. China upholds the rule of law and handles entry and exit affairs in accordance with the law." Other Americans have faced China's exit ban. Two American siblings were only allowed to leave China in 2021 after they were stranded there for three years after visiting their relatives.
