Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra [Video]

Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra

In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna. Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra. As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra. #JagannathPuriRathYatra #JagannathRathYatra2025 #PuriRathYatra #RathYatra2025 #JagannathYatra #JagannathPuri #RathYatraLive #RathYatraAdaniNews #JagannathRathYatraStory #JagannathRathYatraLatestNews #SevaHiSaadhnaHai #AdaniSeva #PuriRathYatra2025 #JagannathRathYatra ~PR.152~HT.408~GR.124~

Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand: Helicopter Safety CrisisHits Kedarnath Route Again| Watch

Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu. This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days. The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones. Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies. #HelicopterSafetyCrisis #KedarnathCrash #CharDhamYatra #UttarakhandNews #AviationAlert ~PR.282~GR.122~HT.96~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock [Video]

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock

Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote. The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future. #TrumpBigBeautifulBill #JdVanceTiebreaker #TrumpSenateVote #RonJohnson #RandPaul #ThomTillis #GOPDefection #SenateShowdown #TrumpLegislation #TrumpPromise #WhiteHouseStatement #RepublicanSenators #TrumpVanceBill #TrumpJuly4Deadline #TiebreakerVote #TrumpBillFail #TrumpBillSupport #OneBeautifulBill #PromisesMadePromisesKept #SenateRepublicans ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.125~

Mamdani Under FIRE: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York’s mayoral race, is under fierce attack from Republicans questioning the legitimacy of his U.S. citizenship. Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles mocked Mamdani on X, accused him of lying on his N-400 naturalization form, and cited old rap lyrics as evidence of “material support for terrorism.” Ogles is calling for a DOJ investigation and has labeled Mamdani a “socialist, communist, and antisemite.” With Mamdani’s national profile rising, Republicans are escalating efforts to derail his candidacy through citizenship-related attacks. #ZohranMamdani #CitizenshipControversy #NYMayoralRace #AndyOgles #N400 #DOJInvestigation #Naturalization #PoliticalAttacks #GOPVsDemocrats #FreeTheHolyLandFive #TerrorismAllegations #RapLyricsControversy #DeportationDemand #UgandaToUSA #MuslimPolitician #Election2025 #USPolitics #RepublicanBacklash #PoliticalSmear #GOPTargeting #CitizenshipDebate #AntiMuslimRhetoric #NewYorkPolitics #DOJ #PoliticalDrama #MamdaniForMayor #AmericanDemocracy #ElectionScandal #RightWingAttack #OglesVsMamdani ~HT.410~ED.420~

Trump Scores JUDICIAL VICTORY As SCOTUS Bars Judges’ Powers |Citizenship War LOOMS for 150K Newborns

In a 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major judicial win, curbing federal judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies. Trump celebrated the ruling as a “monumental victory” for the Constitution, potentially clearing the path for sweeping policy moves, including controversial immigration actions. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor slammed the decision as a threat to the rule of law, warning it could erode judicial checks. While Trump’s birthright citizenship order remains blocked, the new ruling shifts the legal battlefield dramatically in his favor. #Trump #SupremeCourt #TrumpSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtRuling #SCOTUS #SupremeCourtNews #SupremeCourtLive #SupremeCourtToday #USSupremeCourt #TheSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtCases #SupremeCourtDecision #SupremeCourtOpinions #SupremeCourtJudges #SupremeCourtJustices #SupremeCourtDecisions #TrumpCourt #SCOTUSRuling #SupremeCourtUpdate #SCOTUSLive #SupremeCourt2025 #BirthrightCitizenship #SupremeCourtDebate #SupremeCourtWatch #SCOTUSNews Also Read ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc It's Shocking Actually: SC On Madras HC's Arrest Order On Tamil Nadu Cop HM Jayaram :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/its-shocking-actually-sc-on-madras-hc-arrest-order-on-tamil-nadu-cop-hm-jayaram-4184815.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
