Huge sounds of explosion, 10 - 12 of them, were heard in a span of 10 minutes, exactly between 2.50 am and 3.00 am on Thursday 2025-12-18. Glass panes and wooden doors rattled of my house near Yuva Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium). Streets dogs started barking in unison and are still barking at 3.45 am. 

The sound seemed to have originated from Phoolbagan, Maniktala or further north in Kolkata. 

I am still wondering what  had happened 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Edit: By 10 am on 2025-12-18 the cause was all over the social media although what triggered the inferno in Kankurgachi, Kolkata is still not clear.

One Woman Built AIIMS. Congress Erased Her

One Woman Built AIIMS. Congress Erased Her

Nehru took credit.

AIIMS was built by Amrit Kaur.

History textbooks say “Nehru built AIIMS.”

That line is propaganda.

Jawaharlal Nehru did not build AIIMS.

Rajkumari Amrit Kaur did.

AIIMS exists because one woman gave land, arranged money, fought the system, and forced execution while Congress watched and later branded it.

The land they never mention

AIIMS Delhi stands on ~190 acres of prime land at Ansari Nagar.

This land did not come from the Union government.

It came from Amrit Kaur’s personal family estate.

Not acquired.

Not purchased.

Donated.

At today’s rates, this land is worth tens of thousands of crores.

Congress didn’t spend a rupee for it.

The money Nehru didn’t have

Post-Independence India was broke.

Congress had slogans, not resources.

So Amrit Kaur:

•Secured foreign assistance (New Zealand)

•Brought international medical collaboration

•Arranged equipment, training, and expertise

If Congress had the capacity, foreign governments wouldn’t have been needed.

The law Congress delayed

The AIIMS Act, 1956 didn’t pass because of Nehru’s urgency.

It passed because Amrit Kaur pushed relentlessly against:

•Bureaucratic inertia

•Cabinet indifference

•Congress lethargy

Files moved because she forced them to move.

What Nehru actually did

He:

•Approved what was already built

•Delivered speeches

•Cut ribbons

That’s not institution-building.

That’s optics.

Why Congress buried her

Because this truth destroys the myth:

•That Congress “built” India

•That Nehru created institutions

•That power equals contribution

AIIMS proves the opposite.

A royal woman gave up her inheritance for public health.

Congress took the credit.

No Chamcha praises her.

No textbook centres her.

Because Congress history only remembers one surname.

Reality

AIIMS is Amrit Kaur’s legacy.

Congress just put its nameplate on it.

Others sacrificed.

Congress advertised.

Jewellery shops across Bihar will deny entry to customers wearing hijabs, burqas, masks or helmets, citing security concerns. The decision follows directions from the All India Jewellers and Gold Federation (AIJGF) amid rising thefts and robberies.

The rule comes into effect statewide from January 8, 2026, with “No Entry” notices already displayed outside several jewellery shops in Patna. Traders said high gold and silver prices have made such stores frequent targets, adding that entry will be allowed only after customers uncover their faces. The restriction applies equally to men and women.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday 2026-01-08 landed at the residence of I-PAC chief Pratik Jain during searches by the ED and claimed that the central agency was attempting to seize the TMC's internal documents, hard disks and sensitive digital data. Banerjee reached Jain's house around noon, minutes after Kolkata Police Commissioner Manoj Verma arrived there, and stayed for about 20-25 minutes before emerging with a green folder in her hand. She said the raid at the residence of Jain, "the in-charge of my IT cell", was politically motivated and unconstitutional.

The much awaited ED action has added to her woos since SHE is in immense tension because of SIR 2026. 

However, the moot question is how SHE personally got physical access even while the search operation was on 🤔

Anjana got back her home on 2026-01-01 with Yogiji's intervention

For Anjana, the daughter of a former Major who was a victim of harassment by powerful individuals in Uttar Pradesh, the first day of the new year brought immense joy. Following strict instructions from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the police, within just 24 hours, restored her multi-crore rupee house to her and arrested the land mafia members. The harassment by these powerful individuals had been so severe that Anjana developed schizophrenia and had to seek treatment at a rehabilitation center. Anjana, who was living at the rehabilitation center, met the Chief Minister on Wednesday (December 31st, 2025) and informed him that Balwant Kumar Yadav of Chandauli had illegally occupied her house.

She received an assurance of justice from the UP Chief Minister within 24 hours, and on Thursday (January 1st, 2026), before noon, when she regained possession of her house, tears welled up in her eyes, and she exclaimed, "God bless you, Yogi Uncle!"

Anjana's father was a Major in the Army

Anjana's father, Bipin Chandra Bhatt, was a Major in the Army. He owned a house at A-418 in Indira Nagar. He passed away in 1994. Major Bhatt had one son and two daughters. His son and one daughter have also passed away. Only Anjana remained in the family. Seeing this, Balwant Yadav and Manoj Kumar Yadav put up their own sign on her property and began harassing her. Due to suffering from schizophrenia, Anjana was taken to the Nirvan Rehabilitation Center in 2016. She began receiving treatment there under the care of the doctors and has been living there ever since.

She met the CM and explained her problem; the solution came in 24 hours

Meanwhile, Balwant Yadav had transferred the house to his name using forged documents. When Anjana learned of this, she requested a meeting with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On December 31st (Wednesday evening), the Chief Minister called her to his office and listened carefully to the plight of the daughter of a soldier who had served the country. The victim informed the Chief Minister that in recent days, Balwant Yadav, a resident of Chandauli, had occupied the house using forged documents. A sign bearing Balwant Kumar's name had also been put up on the house.

On December 6, 2025, she submitted a written application to the local police station, requesting that the house be vacated. When the process was delayed, she met with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and narrated her ordeal.

Anjana found solace thanks to the Chief Minister's compassion!

Dr. Santosh Dubey of the rehabilitation center said, "In 2016, we brought Anjana to the rehabilitation center. She received care and treatment there. A few days ago, we received a complaint about the house being illegally occupied, following which a written application was submitted to the police station.  Afterward, we met with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday. Following the instructions received from the CM, the local administration and police team immediately became active and, after an investigation, restored her possession of the house within 24 hours."

Anjana's eyes welled up with tears upon entering her home.

In the presence of police and army officers, as soon as Anjana entered her house on Thursday (January 1), tears welled up in her eyes. She went into every room, kissed the walls. Then she came outside, broke a coconut, lit a lamp, and offered flowers, reliving memories of her past. She hugged the neighborhood women and started crying, recounting her childhood memories. After entering her home, Anjana, overwhelmed with emotion, had tears of joy in her eyes. She expressed her gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath from the bottom of her heart. She said, "Yogi Uncle is great. He helped us in our time of distress. Thank you, Yogi Uncle! God bless you." Two arrested, including the accused, within 24 hours of meeting the CM.

After Anjana met with the CM, the police became more active. The police immediately started an investigation into the matter and restored Anjana's possession of her house. ACP Ghazipur Anindya Vikram Singh said, "In this case, the accused Balwant Kumar Yadav alias Bablu, son of Ramdulare Yadav, resident of Narayanpur village, Saiyadraja-Chandauli, and Manoj Kumar Yadav, son of late Umashankar Yadav, resident of Daudpur-Kotwali police station, Chandauli, were arrested on Thursday, January 1, 2026."

Bail for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam rejected by Supreme Court on 2026-01-05

The Supreme Court on 2026-01-05 rejected bail for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam in the 2020 Delhi riots case. Delivering the verdict, Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria said that the material against the two accused shows planning and that their conduct prima facie constitutes a terrorist act. The court noted that the actions of Khalid and Imam disrupted services and posed a threat to the economy. According to Delhi Police, the conspirators aimed at regime change. The Supreme Court’s decision means both Khalid and Imam will remain in jail.

A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria, however, granted bail to five others accused named in the case: Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, Shifa Ur Rehman, Mohd Saleem Khan, and Shadab Ahmed.
