In a statement that has stirred controversy, BJP’s Navneet Rana made inflammatory remarks directed at the Owaisi brothers, suggesting they would be untraceable if police were briefly removed. Rana’s comments, made in Hyderabad, have drawn criticism for their incendiary nature.
Meanwhile, tragedy struck in Tamil Nadu’s Sivakasi as an explosion at a firecracker manufacturing unit claimed the lives of eight individuals, including five women. Over ten others sustained burns in the incident. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has instructed district authorities to ensure appropriate care and support for the injured.
The blast underscores the urgent need for safety measures and stringent regulations in industries dealing with hazardous materials. As investigations into the cause of the explosion commence, authorities are urged to prioritize the safety of workers and residents in such areas.
