#WATCH | Chandigarh: Congress MP Charanjit Singh Channi says, "Mining in Punjab is rampant, and this isn't a recent development. For the past four and a half years, ever since the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) formed the government, all mining has been illegal. This government has failed to introduce any policy whatsoever regarding mining. Initially, they did bring in a policy for a three-month period, which mandated manual extraction. That policy lapsed; it didn't work. Since then, all mining has been entirely illegal. People in Punjab are getting sand, but it is being extracted illegally from riverbeds, stolen under the cover of night. This entire operation, under the direction and patronage of Kejriwal and company, as well as our Chief Minister, allows the mafia to take control of the rivers at night. Thousands of tipper trucks haul away sand and stone, effectively stealing these resources. Kejriwal had promised that mining would generate 20,000 crore rupees; in reality, not even 20 crore has been collected. Instead, they have siphoned off all the wealth over these last four and a half years. It is highly condemnable; there is no environmental clearance, no government approval, yet the mining continues unabated." He further says, "...Drugs have become so prevalent in Punjab that they are being sold on every street. The people of Punjab now regret having brought them to power and, rest assured, they will soon be wiped out from here. The BJP government, too, bears responsibility for the spread of drugs in Punjab."

#WATCH | Delhi: On Axiom Mission 4 Mission experience alongside Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, bilateral space sector collaboration, Polish Astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski says, "That's like my lifetime experience. Shubhanshu Shukla, 'Shuks', became a great friend of mine during the mission, and we all as a crew became like the closest family. You spend all your time together training, and then you try to execute the mission to the best of your capabilities. I think we were well prepared. We achieved our national objectives and objectives for the mission, and I can only say positive things about Shuks: how efficient he is, how operational he is.
