Rain Disruption: 13 Killed In Uttar Pradesh, Schools Shut In Noida, Gurgaon WFH

Due to heavy rain disruption, schools have been shut in parts of Uttar Pradesh. Private offices in Gurgaon have also been asked to switch to work from home. At least 13 people lost their lives, and 11 got injured in incidents of lighting, house and wall collapses as heavy rains lashed parts of Uttar Pradesh. Parts of Delhi are flooded after it recorded 40.8 mm of rainfall between 5:30 pm on Thursday and 8.30 am on Friday. Several areas in Delhi and traffic movement on key roads have been affected due to rains. The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted more rain for the national capital and thus issued a yellow alert warning people of moderate rain in the city. After heavy rainfall led to waterlogging in parts of Gurgaon, the administration advised corporate offices to work from home today. "Due to continuous heavy rainfall in Gurugram, there is waterlogging at some places, and the traffic is moving at a slow speed. Therefore, we request all of you that you should come out of the house only when necessary," read the traffic police advisory on Twitter. As per IMD, the heavy spell of rain before the withdrawal of the monsoon from the NCR region will help cover the large deficit to some extent. It would also help to keep the air clean and the temperature in check. https://twitter.com/Indiametdept/status/1573024510508290048

NIA, ED Raids: Popular Front of India (PFI) Raise Slogans Against The Sangh Parivar, Union Government 

During a nationwide swoop conducted by the National Investigation Agency along with Enforcement Directorate, Popular Front of India (PFI) chairman O M A Salam and C P Mohammed Basheer were among the organisational leaders who NIA and ED arrested. After its top leader was held, PFI called for a hartal in Kerala, where the organisation is most active. In a statement, PFI State General Secretary Abdul Sathar slammed the use of state machinery and claimed that the government is using central agencies to silence the dissenting voices. On the other hand, the Bhartiya Janata Party has urged the CPM-led Kerala government to take stringent action against those calling for the hartal and ensure normal life on Friday. "The PFI should not think that it can confront terrorism cases with muscle power. The state government is soft on PFI to appease a vote bank," said BJP State President K Surendran. Meanwhile, protesting against the NIA and ED arrests, PFI workers took to the streets across Kerala and raised slogans against the union government and the Sangh Parivar. As per sources, 24 PFI leaders have been either taken into custody or arrested.  Also Read: Massive NIA Crackdown on Popular Front of India; Over 100 Arrested  https://youtu.be/EHYent3Tzjc
