    Seven Killed in Chemical Factory Fire in Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi, Two Trapped Inside

    Bhiwadi (Rajasthan) — A massive fire broke out at a chemical factory in Bhiwadi, resulting in the death of seven people, while two workers are feared trapped inside, officials confirmed.

    According to local authorities, rescue operations were launched immediately. Several workers were evacuated, and the injured were shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment. Officials stated that the intensity of the fire made rescue efforts challenging.

    100+ Women Smash Liquor Worth ₹15 Lakh in Lalitpur

    Lalitpur, February 11, 2026 — In a dramatic protest against illegal liquor trade, over 100 women in Uttar Pradesh’s Lalitpur district allegedly stormed a local liquor outlet and destroyed alcohol bottles worth nearly ₹15 lakh, officials said.

    According to local sources, the women, many of whom belong to self-help groups, gathered in large numbers alleging that the sale of liquor in their area was causing social problems, including domestic disputes and financial distress within families. Eyewitnesses reported that the group entered the premises and smashed bottles stored inside the shop.

    Police reached the spot shortly after receiving information about the incident and brought the situation under control. Authorities confirmed that an investigation has been launched, and CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to identify those involved.

    A senior district official stated that while grievances can be raised through legal channels, taking the law into one’s own hands is not acceptable. “We are looking into both the allegations regarding illegal liquor sales and the damage caused during the protest,” the official said.

    The incident has sparked debate in the region, with some residents supporting the women’s stand against alcohol abuse, while others questioned the method adopted during the protest.

    Further legal action is expected as the probe continues.

    Budget 2026 Price Alert: क्या हुआ सस्ता, क्या महंगा

    New Delhi, February 11, 2026 — Budget 2026–27, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1, has introduced several tax and duty changes that are set to directly impact the prices of everyday goods and services across India — bringing relief in some areas while making others costlier for consumers and businesses.

    📉 क्या हुआ सस्ता (Price Cuts)

    Several items and services are expected to become more affordable as a result of customs duty reductions and tax rationalisations, including:

    • Cancer drugs and essential medicines: Customs duty exemptions on 17 key cancer drugs and medicines for several rare diseases aim to reduce treatment costs for patients.

    • Smartphones, tablets और इलेक्ट्रॉनिक सामान: Import duty cuts on components are expected to lower prices of Indian-made smartphones, tablets and related electronics.

    • EV बैटरी व सौर पैनल: Duty relief on lithium-ion cells and solar panel components should help make electric vehicle batteries and solar equipment cheaper over time.

    • Overseas खर्च: Reductions in Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on foreign education fees and travel packages will ease the cost of studying or travelling abroad.

    • Leather और sports goods: Duty relief on raw materials could make some leather items and sports equipment more affordable.

    📈 क्या हुआ महंगा (Price Hikes)

    On the other hand, the budget has also raised duties and taxes on certain products, which are likely to push up prices:

    • Imported luxury and discretionary goods: Higher import duties on items like luxury watches and specialised equipment will make them pricier.

    • Cigarettes, pan masala and tobacco: Increased excise and health-related taxes will make tobacco products more expensive.

    • Alcohol और similar products: Higher duties mean spirits and alcohol are set to cost more for consumers.

    • Futures & options trading costs: Securities Transaction Tax (STT) hikes on derivatives will raise transaction costs for investors in those markets.

    • Select imported equipment: Some specialised machines and parts, like cash dispensers and manufacturing components, may see higher duties.

    📊 आम आदमी पर असर

    With these changes, everyday expenses for essentials like medicine and mobile devices could ease for many households, while luxury and non-essential items may be costlier. Higher taxes on sin goods and trading activities may also influence consumer behaviour and investment decisions in the coming year.
