Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the Northern Corridor of the bullet train network. The Northern Corridor will originate in Delhi and connect Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow and Ayodhya, before extending further to Varanasi, Patna and eventually Guwahati. Let me tell you about the travel times once this Northern Corridor is completed in the coming years. Delhi to Agra in 59 minutes, just one minute short of an hour. Delhi to Kanpur in 1 hour 45 minutes, less than two hours. You can travel from Delhi, enjoy 'Thaggu Ke Laddu' in Kanpur, and return to Delhi to resume your work. Delhi to Lucknow in 2 hours 12 minutes, connecting the two major capitals. Kashi to Lucknow in 1 hour 21 minutes. This will be a major benefit for the people of Purvanchal. Kashi to Patna in just one hour. Delhi to Varanasi in 3 hours 33 minutes. You will no longer need to take a flight to travel from Delhi to Kashi. This will create an extensive connectivity network for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and even Guwahati. It will provide the general public, middle-class families, young people and those travelling for business, education or medical treatment with an affordable and accessible mode of transportation, making travel from one city to another much easier." #BulletTrain# #AshwiniVaishnaw# (Full video available on PTI Videos -

13 ACCUSED ARRESTED BY NIA IN JMB OFFSHOOT'S TERROR CONSPIRACY TARGETING WEST BENGAL AND NORTH-EASTERN STATES New Delhi, 29th September 2026 The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted searches at 16 locations across Assam, West Bengal and Kerala, leading to the arrest of 13 accused persons on 29th September 2026 in connection with a terror conspiracy orchestrated by an offshoot of the proscribed Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorist organisation. Digital devices, including mobile phones, pen drives and memory cards, were seized from their possession. Of the 13 accused, 8 were arrested from Assam, 4 from West Bengal and 1 from Kerala. The case originates from the arrest of 11 accused persons by Assam Police on 28th December 2025, from various districts of Assam, West Bengal and Tripura. STF PS had registered Case No. 06/2025 on 30th December 2025 against 35 accused for an online radicalisation module operated through the "Purva Akash" Telegram group by Bangladesh-based handlers of IMK. These 11 accused were chargesheeted on 25th June 2026 and remain in judicial custody. NIA subsequently took over the case and filed a chargesheet against these 11 accused persons under various sections of the BNS, 2023, and the UA (P) Act, before the NIA Special Court in Guwahati, Assam. NIA's investigation had revealed the active involvement of the accused in the conspiracy of Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), a manifestation of JMB, to expand the terror outfit's ideology in West Bengal and the north-eastern states of India. The conspiracy involved promotion of the terrorist organisation's extremist agenda, radicalisation of vulnerable youth, and expansion of the outfit's network in India. Investigations by the anti-terror agency showed that JMB's senior member Imam Mahmud Habibullah had established IMK to promote the banned outfit's agenda on Indian soil. NIA's investigation further revealed that the accused had conspired to grow the presence of IMK/JMB in India through clandestine meetings, religious indoctrination programmes, circulation of extremist literature, and use of digital platforms for anti-India propaganda. They were promoting allegiance to the leadership of IMK/JMB. 10 accused in the case remain absconding, including 1 Indian national and 9 Bangladeshi nationals. Investigation in case RC-01/2026/NIA/GUW is continuing.
