Republic Bharat LIVE: Delhi Air Pollution | PM Modi Vs Rahul Gandhi | CM Yogi | Arnab | Hindi News
Dangerous air in Delhi and plans for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to celebrate Diwali with security personnel in Bastar sit alongside each other in a wide-ranging broadcast from India's Republic Bharat.
The channel reports that pollution reached what it describes as an extremely severe level in several parts of Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region during Sunday's celebrations. Its description gives no neighborhood-level readings, but portrays the deterioration as a serious concern across the capital region.
The broadcast also outlines Modi's planned visit to Bastar, in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, to spend the festival with personnel deployed on anti-Maoist operations. In a social media message cited by the channel, Modi describes the region as a former insurgent stronghold undergoing a transformation toward peace and development. That is the prime minister's assessment of the security situation.
Another strand follows Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's visit to the Ram temple in Ayodhya. The channel recounts his Diwali greeting and his assertion that religious celebrations in the city can now take place without restrictions or discrimination.
International coverage turns to U.S. President Donald Trump's statements about Iran. The channel cites a Truth Social post in which he argues that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons averted catastrophe for Israel and the wider Middle East. It also reports that Washington is considering further military action against Iran.
India's prime minister since 2014 and a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He previously led the state government of Gujarat.
