Hail and strong winds hit flights in Delhi, causing cars to shake on the roads.





This evening, parts of Delhi had moderate-intensity rain and strong wind speeds, which helped to chill the city, which had been pummelling by a heat wave.


A hailstorm slammed portions of the nation's capital Thursday evening, causing traffic to come to a halt in numerous areas as the frozen shards of ice smashed into windshields and motorcycles. Several passenger flights are circling Indira Gandhi International Airport, according to flight monitoring websites, waiting for the terrible weather to dissipate, which will likely cause flight delays.

"Our flight operations may be hampered by raindrops and thunderstorms in Delhi. Please provide extra travel time to avoid any inconvenience. Keep an eye on the status of your flight. Send us a direct message on Twitter or Facebook if you need help "IndiGo sent out a tweet.




The brilliant evening sky, which had been brightening for the preceding several days due to the extreme heat wave, abruptly darkened at 4:30 p.m. when a thunderstorm with hail began.

Images shared on Twitter by Delhi locals show automobiles swaying on the roadways due to the strong wind speed.

A thunderstorm with light to moderate intensity rain and strong gusts up to 50 kmph was predicted by the meteorological officer early today.

How old is the claim that the Gyanvapi Mosque has Hindu outfits on it?

  The controversy dates back to 1984, when 558 Hindu seers from throughout India gathered in the centre of Delhi. They gathered for the first religious parliament, which included a statewide appeal for Hindus to claim the holy temples in Varanasi, Mathura, and Ayodhya, among other resolutions. Years later, as the Babri Masjid and Ram Janmabhoomi conflict reached its apex in the 1990s, with the desire for a Ram Mandir gaining traction, the push to reclaim ownership of the mosques in Mathura and Kashi gained traction as well. While the campaign referred to roughly 3000 mosques, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and other Hindu religious organisations had their sights set on these two mosques in particular.The Shahi Idgah mosque in Mathura, West Uttar Pradesh, was erected next to Lord Krishna's temple, while the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, East Uttar Pradesh, was built next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. Fears about what this might mean for the country led the PV Narsimha Rao administration...

What Has Varanasi's High Court Said?

The Court ordered the ASI to form a "five-member committee of distinguished individuals who are professionals and well-versed in archaeology," according to the Court. The court ordered that "two of the experts should ideally belong to the minority community." The ASI head has also been instructed to appoint a distinguished person to act as an observer for the committee, and the UP government has been told to cover the cost of the survey. "The Archaeological Survey's primary goal will be to determine if the religious structure currently standing at the 'disputed site' is a superimposition, change, or addition, or if there is any structural overlapping of any type, with or over any previous religious building." The following are some of the directives given by the court: 1) Artefacts must be appropriately kept during the survey. 2) The committee must guarantee that Muslims are not stopped from performing namaz at the contested site while completi...

Why Is the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor Making Muslims Worried?

The Kashi Vishwanath temple, built on the instructions of Queen Ahilya Holkar, is often regarded as Lord Shiva's most important shrine. It is one among Shiva's 12 Jyotirlingas, Vishveshvara or Vishvanath, and is described in the Skanda Purana as one of the most significant. Hindus from all across the country go to the temple, which is usually bustling with activity. In March 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who represents the Varanasi seat in the Lok Sabha, lay the foundation stone for the Kashi Vishwanath temple corridor. The objective is to adorn the temple and the surrounding region with Makrana marble, Kota granite, Mandana, and Baleshwar stones in order to extend and enhance it. The temple would be seen clearly from the Ganga ghat after the Rs 1,000 crore renovation is completed. The construction of the Kashi Vishwanath corridor has caused Muslims in the vicinity to be concerned. During the time the platform was being dismantled, S M Yaseen, joint secretary of the (AIM)...
