Festive Chaos Across India: From Harassment In UP To Record-Breaking Diwali In Ayodhya

Amid festive celebrations across India, several incidents have captured public attention. In Uttar Pradesh’s Kashiram area, a middle-aged man misbehaved with a young woman in a crowded market. The video went viral on social media, prompting the police to identify and arrest the accused within hours. In another shocking incident from Kanpur, a man accused of cnnabisa smuggling received a “hero-like” welcome after being released from jail — garlanded with flowers and celebrated by his supporters, raising questions about the state of law enforcement.Meanwhile, Delhi’s railway stations are overflowing with passengers rushing home for Diwali and Chhath. Even with confirmed tickets, people are unable to board due to extreme crowding. In Nashik, two people died and one was critically injured in a tragic accident currently under police investigation.Delhi’s air quality has again dipped to hazardous levels, with areas like Wazirpur and Jahangirpuri recording AQI above 380. In Bihar, Tej Pratap Yadav has been booked for violating the Model Code of Conduct by using police equipment on a private vehicle. Amidst all this, Ayodhya celebrated a grand Diwali by lighting 26.17 lakh lamps, setting a Guinness World Record as CM Yogi Adityanath called it a symbol of a “United and Glorious India.”
