New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal are being compared to Mughal ruler Aurangzeb by the BJP for banning firecrackers in the national capital ahead of the Diwali celebrations.

BJP Yuva Morcha National Secretary Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, on Thursday, posted a picture on his Twitter handle depicting Arvind Kejriwal as Aurangzeb.

The photo was captioned “New age Aurangzeb govt banned firecrackers in Delhi.”

Bagga on Friday also staged a protest outside the house of the Delhi CM and said “Just like Aurangzeb, Kejriwal also banned crackers”.

The Delhi government on October 19 rolled out its decision to impose a fine of Rs 200 and six months of jail for bursting firecrackers on Diwali in Delhi.

The government has declared manufacturing, storing, and selling firecrackers a punishable offence with a fine of up to Rs 5,000 and three years’ imprisonment under Section 9B of the Explosives Act.

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.
