Aakhir Tak – In Depth
The explosion near CRPF Public School in Rohini, Delhi, caused a stir this morning. The loud blast was heard near the school‘s wall, shattering the windows of nearby vehicles. While no injuries were reported, the police suspect the use of a low-intensity explosive. The entire area was cordoned off, and a white powder-like substance was found at the site.
CM Atishi’s Response:
Reacting to the blast, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi pointed fingers at the BJP-led central government, stating that maintaining law and order in the national capital is the Centre’s responsibility. She emphasized that Delhi Police, land, and law enforcement come under the purview of the central government, and accused the BJP of using “90% of their energy” to hinder the Delhi government’s work. She also referenced the recent shooting incident in the Welcome area and urged the BJP to focus on governance rather than interference.
Investigation Underway:
The police have registered an FIR under the Explosives Act and are analyzing CCTV footage from the area to understand the cause of the explosion. While initial investigations suggest a cylinder blast, the exact cause remains unknown, and further inquiry is ongoing.
Pollution Remarks:
During the same press conference, Atishi addressed the rising pollution in Delhi, attributing it to stubble burning in BJP-ruled states like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. She argued that the AAP-led government in Punjab has successfully reduced stubble burning incidents by 27% over the past two years, while Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have seen a rise, contributing to Delhi’s air and water pollution.
