Eighteen members of a family were among at least 45 Umrah pilgrims from Hyderabad charred early Monday in a bus inferno triggered by a highway collision with a fuel tanker while travelling from Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia. Mohammed Shoeb, the lone pilgrim to survive, escaped because he was seated beside the driver when the bus burst into flames after ramming into the tanker around 1.30am (11pm IST). Both men broke through a window and jumped. Hyderabad police commissioner V C Sajjanar said the 46 passengers were part of a 54-member group that flew from the city to Saudi Arabia on Nov 9. They were to return on Nov 23 after visiting Islam’s holiest site. “Four members of the group hired a car to travel to Medina after completing Umrah rituals. Another four stayed back in Mecca,” Sajjanar said. The victims include 22 women and 11 children. Shoeb, whose brother also travelled to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage but wasn’t on the bus, remains in intensive care at Saudi German Hospital with injuries to his arms and legs. “I spoke to Shoeb. Going by what he said, some passengers were asleep during the crash. He was lucky to be in the cabin with the driver,” his sibling, Mohammed Sameer, told TOI over phone. Telangana govt to send team to Saudi to coordinate relief”It is unclear if the tanker hit the vehicle while it was moving or was stationary.”Sameer and his family landed in Jeddah three days after the rest of the pilgrims and are yet to finish their Mecca rituals. PM Modi condoled the deaths in a post on X. “Deeply saddened by the accident in Medinah involving Indian nationals. My thoughts are with the families who have lost their loved ones. I pray for the swift recovery of all those injured. Our embassy in Riyadh and consulate in Jeddah are providing all possible assistance,” he wrote.Telangana govt has decided to depute a team, led by its minorities welfare minister Mohammad Azharuddin, to Saudi Arabia to coordinate relief efforts. Announcing ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of those who died, the govt said it would help arrange the funerals of the deceased in Saudi in accordance with traditions. Two members of each affected family would be flown to Saudi, it said. “The bodies were charred beyond recognition. DNA tests are also likely to be conducted to identify the victims,” said Azharuddin, adding a control room had been set up at Haj House (numbers 79979 59754/99129 19545) to provide more information to families of victims. The minister reaffirmed the state govt, in coordination with the foreign ministry and Saudi authorities, was making all possible efforts to provide assistance, guidance, and necessary support to the families. Police and govt officials, who are in contact with authorities in Saudi, said the Al-Makkah Travels-owned bus was about 25km short of its destination when the fatal crash occurred.Saudi authorities have started investigating the circumstances that led to the accident. In a 2023 report, the UN pointed out that Saudi had a high road fatality rate compared to other high-income countries. Transporting worshippers around Saudi’s holy sites has frequently proven dangerous, particularly during Haj, when roads can be chaotic with buses creating interminable traffic jams, sources said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar, Russian FM Lavrov Hold Key Talks in Moscow Ahead of Putin’s India Visit ‘In 3 Weeks’India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Imports Despite U.S. Sanctions HeatBangladesh Seeks Hasina’s Return As India Notes ICT Tribunal Verdict, Calls For Peace And Stability’This Generation Can Bring Viksit Bharat Before 2047’: Army Chief Dwivedi’s Message To Gen ZHasina Verdict Sparks Outrage as Ex-Indian Envoy Questions Evidence and Awami League Cries Black DayPak Army Chief Asim Munir Vows ‘Strong Response’, Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Op Sindoor Was A TrailerPM Modi Condoles Families as 45 Indians Feared Dead in Saudi Bus CrashOusted Bangladesh PM Hasina Calls ICT’s Death Sentence ‘Rigged’, Says It Denied Fair Trial RightsFrench Consulate Staffer Molested In Bandra As Mumbai Police Launch Rapid Hunt To Track The SuspectAfter 5th August 2019…’ Army Chief Counters Mehbooba’s Charge Against Centre Over J&K Situation123PhotostoriesSecond innings as Bollywood favourites return and shine all over againKarisma Kapoor’s grace, talent and magnetic screen presence continue to define timeless Bollywood beauty for every generationFrom ‘Dil Tu Hi Bata’ to ‘Mayabini’: Zubeen Garg’s first birth anniversary:his best songsBirthday special: Nayanthara’s 5 best performances that seal her name as the ‘Lady Superstar’Zubeen Garg birth anniversary special: Lesser-known facts about the legendNayanthara birthday special: Social media moments with Vignesh Shivan and the twinsLemon, olive oil and more: 7 natural remedies to help relieve constipationZubeen Garg’s birth anniversary special: Films that define his cinematic journeyWhat happens when you eat garlic soaked in matha (buttermilk)This simple at-home test can reveal how fast your digestive system works123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodaySheikh Hasina VerdictBihar Government FormationGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingQTCinderellaTravis KelceKlay ThompsonAuston Matthews Net WorthDana WhiteTrey Benson InjuryLaMelo BallGiannis AntetokounmpoZion WilliamsonWho is Ella Hakkinen

The Supreme Court has mandated states to demarcate tiger reserve core and buffer areas within six months and implement comprehensive conservation plans in three months. A steering committee led by chief ministers will oversee implementation, with tourism now subject to National Tiger Conservation Authority guidelines.  NEW DELHI: Aiming to strengthen the existing regime for tiger protection, the Supreme Court on Monday issued a slew of directions to the states including giving a six-month deadline to demarcate and notify core and buffer areas of tiger reserves and put in place within three months comprehensive tiger conservation plans (TCPs).In one of his last of important judgments prior to retirement on Nov 23 relating to protection of environment, flora and fauna, CJI B R Gavai-led bench said a steering committee headed by the chief minister would be constituted for each tiger reserve within two months for implementation of the directions of the expert committee set up on SC’s directions by the Union ministry of environment forest and climate change.The tourism in tiger reserves, which often turned into noisy late-night parties, would now have to conform to the guidelines set by the National Tiger Conservation Authority. The expert committee recommended designating tiger reserves and corresponding eco-sensitive areas as ‘silence zones’ and phasing out night safaris and banning the stay of tourists in core areas at night. On the presence of religious sites within tiger reserves, the bench said the influx of devotees must be regulated to avoid disturbance to the wildlife. Importantly, the bench focused on improving the service condition of forest guards and personnel.Asking the ministry of environment and forest and central empowered committee to set up a special cell to give a report within a year on staffing pattern and cadre requirement in all tiger reserves, the bench said states will, based on the report, fill the posts. SC barred states from outsourcing of core patrolling roles and scientific posts and other personnel integral to management of tiger reserves.The forest staff should be permitted to retain their accommodation at a place of their choice while they are posted in remote areas.

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May was a “trailer” and that India is fully prepared to “teach” the adversary responsible behavior if needed. He also highlighted improved India-China relations and India’s strong deterrence against Pakistan’s nuclear threats, emphasizing that “talks and terror cannot go together.” 12 NEW DELHI: Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in May was just an “88-hour trailer” without the film actually beginning, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi said Monday, warning that the Indian armed forces were fully ready to “teach” the western adversary “how to behave responsibly” if the need arose in future.General Dwivedi also said relations between India and China have improved a lot since Oct last year after dialogue among the leaders of the two nations to usher in “normalcy”, with military commanders on the ground also regularly meeting to resolve local issues.Addressing a curtain raiser event of the Chanakya Defence Dialogue, the Army chief delivered a stern message to Pakistan by stressing that as per the “new normal” India will continue to consider terrorists and their supporters alike.”Blood and water cannot flow together. Talks and terror cannot go together. India focuses on progress and prosperity. If someone creates obstacles in our path, then we will have to take some action against them,” he added.Alluding to Pakistan’s nuclear sabre-rattling, General Dwivedi said “India is in a position today where it is not scared of any blackmailing”. India has the political will and military capabilities, which are increasing by the day, for the requisite deterrence, he said.”Deterrence works only when the adversary believes you will act the way you warn them…the other side takes your resolve seriously. Today, our deterrence is working,” he said. On lessons learnt from Op Sindoor, General Dwivedi stressed the importance of integration among the Army, IAF, Navy and other forces, the need for timely decision-making at every level of the command chain, and ensuring proper ammunition and other supplies for even long-drawn out battles.He said the situation in J&K has improved significantly after the scrapping of Article 370 in Aug 2019. “After this, political clarity has come. There has been a huge decline in terrorism…,” he said, adding that of the 31 militants eliminated this year, over 60% were of Pakistani-origin.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosJaishankar, Russian FM Lavrov Hold Key Talks in Moscow Ahead of Putin’s India Visit ‘In 3 Weeks’India Doubles Down On Russian Oil Imports Despite U.S. Sanctions HeatBangladesh Seeks Hasina’s Return As India Notes ICT Tribunal Verdict, Calls For Peace And Stability’This Generation Can Bring Viksit Bharat Before 2047’: Army Chief Dwivedi’s Message To Gen ZHasina Verdict Sparks Outrage as Ex-Indian Envoy Questions Evidence and Awami League Cries Black DayPak Army Chief Asim Munir Vows ‘Strong Response’, Army Chief Dwivedi Warns Op Sindoor Was A TrailerPM Modi Condoles Families as 45 Indians Feared Dead in Saudi Bus CrashOusted Bangladesh PM Hasina Calls ICT’s Death Sentence ‘Rigged’, Says It Denied Fair Trial RightsFrench Consulate Staffer Molested In Bandra As Mumbai Police Launch Rapid Hunt To Track The SuspectAfter 5th August 2019…’ Army Chief Counters Mehbooba’s Charge Against Centre Over J&K Situation123PhotostoriesSecond innings as Bollywood favourites return and shine all over againKarisma Kapoor’s grace, talent and magnetic screen presence continue to define timeless Bollywood beauty for every generationFrom ‘Dil Tu Hi Bata’ to ‘Mayabini’: Zubeen Garg’s first birth anniversary:his best songsBirthday special: Nayanthara’s 5 best performances that seal her name as the ‘Lady Superstar’Zubeen Garg birth anniversary special: Lesser-known facts about the legendNayanthara birthday special: Social media moments with Vignesh Shivan and the twinsLemon, olive oil and more: 7 natural remedies to help relieve constipationZubeen Garg’s birth anniversary special: Films that define his cinematic journeyWhat happens when you eat garlic soaked in matha (buttermilk)This simple at-home test can reveal how fast your digestive system works123Hot PicksDelhi AQI TodaySheikh Hasina VerdictBihar Government FormationGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingQTCinderellaTravis KelceKlay ThompsonAuston Matthews Net WorthDana WhiteTrey Benson InjuryLaMelo BallGiannis AntetokounmpoZion WilliamsonWho is Ella Hakkinen

The Supreme Court has finally taken up a plea to lift a seven-year-old ex-parte stay on a CBI probe into tiger poaching in Jim Corbett National Park.  The investigation, initially ordered by the High Court, reportedly suggested connivance of forest officials with poachers. The court granted three weeks for a response to the plea.  NEW DELHI: It was an ex-parte interim stay order by Supreme Court on a CBI probe into tiger poaching in Jim Corbett National Park, but it has continued to be in force for the last seven years. On Monday, Supreme Court finally issued notice on a plea for lifting the stay to pave the way for investigations into the case. A bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria agreed to hear the plea after senior advocate Meenakshi Arora and lawyer Govid Jee brought it to the court’s notice that the stay order had been in operation for the last seven years despite the CBI’s preliminary enquiry suggesting “connivance of forest officers/officials with poachers”.Arora, appearing for environmentalist Atul Sati, told the apex court that the CBI report had suggested the involvement of the officer who got the stay order from the court. The counsel for the officer countered her plea and sought time to file a response. The court thereafter granted the lawyer three weeks’ time. CBI filed an application in 2023 for lifting the stay order passed by the apex court in 2018. On Sept 4, 2018, the HC had ordered a CBI probe into all poaching cases in the state in the past five years, to find out the “complicity, involvement or collusion” of serving forest department officials in such incidents.
