The firefighters had brought the blaze under control, but "excessive heat" led to reignition at the tank around 4.30 am today, the official said.


According to officials, the fire had broken out around 5 pm yesterday when Mumbai and the surrounding areas witnessed thundershowers. However, no causality was reported.

"Excessive heat caused reignition around 4.30 am today. Firefighting as well as the cooling operations are on. Foam and other extinguishing agents are being used for the purpose," Mumbai fire brigade chief PS Rahangdale said.

He said firefighters of MbPT as well as the fire brigade team are working in tandem to douse the blaze.

According to Mr Rahangdale, fire brigade personnel involved in the firefighting operation through the night have been relieved and new staff staff have been deployed there.

"There has been a good coordination between Mumbai fire brigade personnel and the MbPT fire service team. The fire brigade team had reached around 10 feet near the blaze-hit tank, but reignition at dawn has posed a new challenge before us. However, the blaze is under control," he said.

"I am monitoring the operation. Because of the heat, the foam (used as an extinguisher) is not settling down, this is causing reignition. But overall, the situation is under control," Mr Rahangdale said but did not specify how long the firefighting operation would continue.

"Our main challenge is to keep the other tanks near the affected one safe. So, on one hand our firemen are involved in cooling operations to keep other tanks safe, while on the other, they are also engaged in dousing the flames," he told PTI.

Oil tankers discharge crude at the terminal, and it is transported to refineries at nearby Mahul through submerged pipelines, port officials said.
After the fire broke out, vessels in the vicinity of the island have been moved to a distance as a precautionary measure.

A BPCL spokesperson had said yesterday that a lightning strike amid thundershowers was the apparent cause behind the fire. "A diesel tank caught fire due to the lightning and thundershowers," he had said.

"No other project in the world has faced such hurdles as the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada river. But we were determined to complete the project," Modi said here.

Addressing a rally some 55 kms from the dam site in Dabhoi town of Vadodara district, the Prime Minister said "Sardar Sarovar will become a symbol of India's new and emerging power and propel growth in the region ... the project is an engineering miracle."



Modi, who had earlier dedicated the dam to the nation on his 67th birthday, said "many false allegations were hurled on us. Many people conspired to stop this project. But we were determined not to make it a political battle."

"I have knowledge ('kacha chittha') of everyone who tried to stall this project, but I will not name them as I do not want to go on that route," Modi said.



"A massive misinformation campaign was launched against the project. The World Bank which had earlier agreed to fund the project, refused to give loan for it raising environmental concerns. But, with or without the World Bank, we completed the massive project on our own," he said.

Modi said the construction of this dam was an engineering marvel and every engineering student should study it.

Noting that shortage of water was a major factor in slowing the pace of development, Modi said the project will also help take water from the dam to the Indo-Pak border in Gujarat to fulfil the water needs of BSF soldiers, besides benefitting states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.

He said he was delighted to dedicate the dam to the nation on his birthday and thanked the chief ministers of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Maharashtra's Devendra Fadnavis and Rajasthan's Vasundhara Raje Scindia.

Paying tributes to Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and B R Ambedkar, Modi said had the two leaders lived longer, the dam would have been completed in the 60s and 70s itself, boosting the economy and combating the problems of drought and floods.

Nearly 56 years after its foundation was laid, the Sardar Sarovar Dam, which was mired in controversies and faced stiff opposition from affected villagers, became a reality today after Modi unveiled the plaque to launch it.

Earlier, the prime minister had performed a puja at the site in Kevadia area of the Narmada district.

Forensic lab to tell cops how to handle Blue Whale Challenge

(Click Here To latest aaps news join our Whatsapp)

MUMBAI: Even as the Blue Whale Challenge continues to make headlines, the directorate of forensic science laboratories (DFSL) in Kalina is preparing guidelines for the police on how to identify whether a case of suicide is a result of the online game or not. On July 30, a teenaged school goer had jumped to his death from the terrace of his Andheri east building, sparking off speculations that he may have fallen prey to the online suicide game. But the police could find no conclusive proof of the boy having played the game at all.

The Blue Whale Challenge has spawned several duplicates and it may not be possible to block them all. "Police station personnel are not aware of what the game is about. The guidelines will make them familiar about the 50 tasks to be performed that end with suicide. While probing a case of suicide, the investigator will first have to ascertain whether the victim was involved in these tasks (such as cutting and poking himself with sharp objects) from the nature of injuries suffered. Then, the investigator needs to probe if the victim had been waking up very early as certain tasks have to be performed before daybreak," said a senior official with the DFSL. The investigator would have to look out for tattoos or images carved on the body (the most common image carved would be that of a whale).

"The police need to contact the victim's internet service provider and go through his web history to look for suspicious links. This needs to be done as the victim would have erased the web history on his phone browser in most cases. It's key to find out how many social media accounts did the victim operate, where and what did he use them for," said the official. The game used to be played on a popular Russian social networking site. Survivors of the Blue Whale Challenge have told investigators abroad that they had clicked on the link to a scary picture, which led them to another such picture and finally to a group where tasks for the game were given out. Net users have been trying to reach out to the curator of the game using hashtags on Twitter. Searching for the game has led children to the dark web where curators operate, officials said. It's also important to check if the victim operated an online payment account or operated an e-wallet and whether money was transferred to a suspicious entity.

DFSL officials are also planning to contact Kerala police where a suicide case, suspected to be a result of Blue Whale Challenge, has been reported. Forensic officials are seeking information on what have investigators from Kerala found on the victim's gadgets and social media accounts. Maharashtra's cyber police have been engaged in prevention as well as creating awareness.

"It's a primary responsibility of parents first and then of schools to find out if the child is engaged in self harming behaviour. Families need to have a frank discussion with kids. Parents need to check what the child does online, how many social media accounts does he operate and whom does he speak to. Parents also need to be touch with the child's peers as they would be aware if the child has been hurting himself," said special Inspector General of police, cybercrime, Brijesh Singh. "Schools should encourage students to report such cases assuring confidentiality."

Lord Ganesha should follow certain rituals and use certain samagri (ingredients) for the specialPooja. Rice (or askhat) is an important part of the Pooja samagri and play a significant role in welcoming Gajanan.

As you bring Ganeshji home, followers showerAkshat or unbroken rice slathered withkumkum or turmeric on the idol to signify the welcoming of prosperity and happiness. According to Chef Manjusha Sinha who runs Manjusha's Cooking Classes in Gurgaon, "Maharashtrians welcome Ganpatiji by showering kumkum laden rice. Once the idol is installed in the temple, we make theswastika with rice coated with turmeric orkumkum. Basically, we have to keep five important elements in front of the idol, which includes 11-21 betel leaves, Akshat,haldi,rolior gulal, bukka (black coloured powder used in various rituals) and a Kalash with a coconutin it. Along with these elements, a diya is lit for all the ten days to ensure there is no darkness around the idol."

The place where Ganpatiji sits is known as theIsthaan and some people spread some rice grains around that place, along with supariand sprinkle some haldi on it. Not just this, a plate full of modaks as prasad or bhog is kept with these elements. After all, Ganeshaji loved modaks and it makes for one of the most important sweet offered to the deity.
