Amit Shah distributes Indian citizenship certificates to 188 individuals in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah distributed Indian citizenship certificates to 188 individuals in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The event, announced by Minister of State for Home Harsh Sanghavi, is part of the ongoing implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which facilitates the granting of Indian citizenship to people from neighboring countries.
In addition to distributing citizenship certificates, Shah is scheduled to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for development projects worth around ₹1,003 crore. Among the projects are the newly opened Oxygen Park on Sindhu Bhavan Road, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium in Makarba. Shah is also scheduled to address a public meeting at an open plot near Pancha Talav on Prahladnagar Road in Vejalpur.
This distribution is part of a broader effort under the CAA, with similar events taking place in other states, including Karnataka, where Bangladeshi refugees have recently been granted citizenship.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
