The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is organising a nationwide ‘Tiranga Yatra’ from May 13 to 23 to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor and its significance for India’s security and sovereignty. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde participated in the rally held in Thane. Speaking at the event, Shinde said, “Pakistani terrorists wiped off the sindoor of our sisters in Pahalgam. They were given a befitting reply through Operation Sindoor. The operation has been successful. Prime Minister Modi had clearly stated, ‘Wahan se goli chalegi, yahan se gola chalega’. I express my heartfelt gratitude to the three armed forces of the country and to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM stood firmly behind our jawans and echoed the sentiments of every Indian. We have never had such a resolute and committed Prime Minister before.”
Mumbai and its neighbouring districts—Thane, Ratnagiri, and Raigad—are in for a sweltering weekend as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heatwave alert. According to the latest weather update, these areas will experience heatwave conditions in some pockets for three days, starting Sunday. With temperatures on the rise, Mumbai is already feeling the summer heat. The city is expected to have clear skies over the next 24 hours, but the day is likely to be exceptionally hot. Meteorologists from IMD’s Regional Centre in Mumbai say the soaring daytime temperatures are due to strong easterly winds. As the heatwave sets in, experts urge residents to stay hydrated and limit their time under the sun to avoid heat-related health issues.
