Mangaluru, Dec 28: Housing and Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that a journalist of an electronic media has said to be insulted the Prophet which is condemnable.

The Prophet was not just limited to Muslim community. The entire mankind has been respecting and following his messages and ideologies. The journalists who are in a responsible position should not disrespect such an ideal personality and behave irresponsibly. Journalists have a great responsibility in the society. They should spread peace and solace in the society instead of disturbing it. He would speak to Information department minister, he said.

People and organizations should respond quietly and take proper legal action in order to avoid the repetition of such incidents in future. Instead of conducting protest meets which could disturb peace in the society, the organizations and people need to think about lodging complaints to the police and concerned departments to take legal actions, he said.

New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi government is making every effort, including deploying automatic pumps and personnel at vulnerable spots, to ensure that the national capital remains free from waterlogging during monsoon, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Friday.

Accompanied by Public Works Department Minister Parvesh Verma, the chief minister inspected the waterlogging-prone Minto Bridge underpass to take stock of the preparations for monsoon.

"Automatic pumps have been deployed here that will flush out water during heavy rain and a 2.5-kilometre-long pipeline has been laid to carry the accumulated water out. Operators will also be on round-the-clock duty" Gupta said.

Vulnerable spots have been identified and corrective measures are being taken. The Delhi government will take every step in a time-bound manner to ensure there is no waterlogging this year, she told reporters.

Gupta will also inspect monsoon preparedness at other major waterlogging points, including Ring Road near the WHO building and the Pul Prahladpur underpass.
