Lucknow: Lucknow police have arrested four people in the incident of Namaz at Lulumal. Dismissing the reports that the eight people who prayed at Lulu Mall on July 12 were non-Muslims, the police said that the four people arrested are Muslims and they are being interrogated.

On July 15, four people were arrested for attempting to perform religious rituals at Lulu Mall after prayers on July 12. Saroj Nath Yogi, Krishna Kumar Pathak, Gaurav Goswami and Arshad Ali were arrested. When Yogi, Pathak and Goswami tried to perform puja, Ali was trying to offer namaz in the premises of the mall. According to a press release issued by the Lucknow Commissioner on Tuesday, false news was being spread that they had performed Namaz on July 12.

Apart from these four, 18 people were booked on July 16 for disturbing the peace while trying to enter the shopping mall. On the same day, two others were taken into custody for trying to disrupt religious harmony over the Hanuman Chalisa.

Referring to the Lulu Mall controversy, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that security lapses will not be tolerated and those who try to disrupt unity will be dealt with sternly.

“Some people make unnecessary statements and organize demonstrations to stop people visiting the mall. The Chief Minister said that no one will be allowed to disrupt traffic on the road by organizing prayers or other events.

The controversy was ignited when a video of people praying at Lulumal went viral on social media. There was also controversy when extremist Hindu organizations tried to recite Hanuman Chalisa in the mall after the namaz. The Hindu Mahasabha threatened to recite Sundara Kanda from the Ramayana if the prayer was allowed to continue. After this, the UP Police registered a case against the unknown persons who performed Namaz.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath opened the mall on July 11, which was built with an investment of two thousand crore rupees.

New Delhi: Indian Railways is on the path of change and progress. Railways passing through the path of modernization are implementing many reforms. Indian Railways pays attention to even the smallest things considering the needs of the passengers.

Recently, Railways has implemented a major legal reform. Accordingly, from now on it is essential to have a confirmed ticket to travel by train. Otherwise, railways will charge a penalty if traveling without a confirmed ticket.

That is, according to the new law, a person who is caught traveling with a weighting ticket will have to pay a fine. With the start of the festive season, the train is very crowded. On this occasion, this decision is for the convenience of the passengers. Apart from this, railways have started many new trains considering the rush of trains.

According to the new rule implemented by the railways, traveling on waiting tickets is completely prohibited. Besides, the railways have also tightened ticket checking. According to the estimates given by the railways, 4000 to 6000 passengers travel with waiting tickets every day. This not only creates inconvenience to other passengers but also leads to massive overcrowding in the coaches.

Railways have implemented these new rules keeping in mind such inconveniences to the passengers. That means if a passenger is caught traveling with a waiting ticket when the new law comes into force, a fine of Rs 500 will be levied. So, before starting the train journey, keep these things in mind.

Apart from that, the other major change is that comforts like blankets, sheets, and pillows have been re-introduced in the trains. This is a great comfort for AC coach travelers. But, another important thing is that this time this service will not be provided free of cost to the passengers. Passengers will have to pay for this. Also, a complete kit will be provided to railway passengers. Its price is 300 rupees. It is not necessary to buy the complete kit. Buy only what you need. Any traveler can avail of these services.

Last Tuesday, a 12th-class student committed suicide by jumping from the third floor of the Kanimayur Shakti Matriculation School building. She committed suicide by writing a note against the teachers of the school. Many people took to the streets demanding action against the accused teachers and school management.

The protestors demanded that the accused should be arrested and the case should be handed over to the Crime Branch. The autopsy of the body was conducted yesterday, but the family refused to accept it. The family’s position was that they would not accept the dead body without taking action against the culprits.

About 50 vehicles including a school bus and vehicles parked in the compound were vandalized. A police vehicle parked nearby was also set on fire. Protesters blocked the Chinnasalem National Highway.

The relatives alleged that there was a mystery in the suicide and that the mental torture of the teachers led to the suicide. In the post-mortem report which came out in the afternoon, it became clear that the cause of death was a brain injury. Relatives are adamant about the demand for a re-postmortem.

As the riots escalated, more than 800 policemen, led by a DIG and 5 SPs, reached the spot. Police fired twice in the air to disperse the protesters. Chief Minister MK Stalin said that they should take the government into confidence and maintain peace and find the real culprits.
