Hyderabad Fire: 8 children among dead in fire near charminar as narrow path blocks rescue efforts

A devastating fire near Hyderabad's Charminar claimed 17 lives, including eight children and five women. The blaze erupted early morning in the densely packed Gulzar House area, where a family lived above their shop. Firefighters faced hurdles due to narrow access and lack of equipment. The suspected cause is a short circuit. PM Modi expressed anguish and announced ex-gratia aid. Local leaders urged improved emergency infrastructure. The area, known for century-old jewellery shops, now grapples with grief and outrage as authorities investigate safety lapses behind the fatal inferno. #HyderabadFire #CharminarTragedy #GulzarHouseFire #HyderabadNews #FireAccident #BuildingFire #ShortCircuitFire #FirefighterHeroism #PMModiRelief #RevanthReddy #FireRescue #ChildVictims #JewelleryMarketFire #NarrowEscape #TelanganaFire #HyderabadDisaster #CharminarFireNews #TragicBlaze #FireSafetyFailure #HyderabadUpdates ~ED.346~HT.408~

'CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL' | Trump blasts Kamala Harris’ celeb-endorsed campaign -- Calls for Probe.

Donald Trump has launched a fiery tirade against former presidential rival Kamala Harris, accusing her of bribing celebrities for endorsements during the 2024 campaign. Trump claims entertainers like Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah may have accepted payments in violation of campaign finance laws and is calling for a “major investigation.” In a series of heated social media posts, Trump mocked Springsteen as a “dried out prune” and slammed him for criticizing America from a concert stage abroad. These accusations come as Trump intensifies efforts to cast the Democratic campaign as corrupt, reigniting long-standing hostilities with liberal celebrities who have openly opposed him. #TrumpVsHarris #KamalaHarris #TrumpRant #CampaignFinance #Springsteen #Beyonce #Oprah #Bono #Trump2024 #CelebrityPolitics #ElectionScandal #IllegalEndorsements #TrumpSpeaksOut #USPolitics #CampaignControversy #BruceSpringsteen #Harris2024 #TrumpAttacks #EntertainmentAndPolitics #PoliticalDrama #BreakingNews #TrumpVsCelebrities #TrumpSocialMedia #TrumpInvestigation #CorruptionClaims #CampaignFunding

Gaza in Flames | IDF’s Extensive Ground Operations Leaves 100+ Dead Amid Ceasefire Talks [Video]

Gaza in Flames | IDF’s Extensive Ground Operations Leaves 100+ Dead Amid Ceasefire Talks

Israel intensifies its military campaign in Gaza under Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” launching simultaneous ground assaults in both the north and south. Airstrikes overnight have killed over 100 people, with Gaza’s last northern hospitals—like the Indonesian facility—now shut down, triggering a dire medical crisis. While Israel allows limited food aid to prevent mass hunger, its strategy seeks to segment Gaza and isolate Hamas fighters. As ceasefire talks resume in Qatar, Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas disarmament, while Hamas refuses to negotiate under fire, warning escalation won’t bring peace or freedom for captives. Mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt race to salvage dialogue amid deepening violence.

BLA releases RAW footage of Jaffar Express Hijack | How BLA brought Pak Army to its knees. Watch!

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has released graphic and unfiltered footage of the dramatic hijack of the Jaffar Express, dubbed Operation Darra-e-Bolan, carried out on March 11. Armed with rocket launchers and IEDs, BLA insurgents sabotaged train tracks and ambushed the train inside a tunnel, capturing over 300 Pakistan military personnel. While women and children were released, the BLA used the platform to issue a rallying cry for resistance, denouncing Pakistan’s alleged extrajudicial killings and accusing the UN of ignoring what they call a Baloch genocide. Pakistan's military claims to have rescued 354 hostages and killed 33 militants, while the BLA asserts higher enemy casualties and continued resistance. #Balochistan #BLA #JaffarExpressHijack #OperationDarraEBolan #BalochLiberationArmy #PakistanArmy #Insurgency #HumanRights #BalochStruggle #UNSilence #GenocideClaims #TrainHijack #BalochistanCrisis #RawFootage #BreakingNews #BalochConflict #SouthAsiaNews #PakistanSecurity #BalochVoices #MilitantOperation #HostageCrisis #PakBalochTensions #TunnelAmbush #IEDAttack #PakistanNews #FreeBalochistan #BalochistanNotPakistan
