Hindu ascetics known as Naga sadhus, many naked apart from a coating of ash and carrying swords or tridents, led the bathers at the Kumbh Mela, or pitcher festival, in the northern town of Haridwar. All participants at this year’s event, that runs until the end of April, are required to present a negative coronavirus test result before being allowed into the festival grounds, authorities said. But there was little evidence of social distancing in place on Thursday as bathers jostled at the riverbank. Devout Hindus believe bathing in the waters of the Ganges absolves people of sins, and during the Kumbh Mela brings salvation from the cycle of life and death. More than 22,000 people had bathed in the holy river by 8 a.m. (0230 GMT), police overseeing the festival told ANI, a number that was expected to rise significantly throughout the day.

    ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED NEWSPAPER 4 January 2014 3 Rabial I 1435 - Volume 18 Number 5934 Price: QR2 ON SATURDAY Obama pushes for new gun control regulations WASHINGTON: The Obama administra- tion yesterday proposed two new gun control regulations aimed at clarifying restrictions on gun ownership for the mentally ill and strengthening a database used for back- ground checks before firearm purchases. The measures are the latest step in a year-long push by President Barack Obama to tighten gun laws in the wake of a school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, where 20 children were killed. Obama tried last year to bring in sweeping gun control measures but most of his proposals were defeated in Congress. He has pledged to continue working on the issue despite setback. He had also directed officials to take steps that did not require approval from Congress. The first action, proposed by the Department of Justice, would clarify who is prohibited from possessing firearms because of mental illness and outline for states what information can be shared with the federal database. The second, by the Department of Health and Human Services, would remove barri- ers that could prevent states from passing on information to the database. Kerry seeks to allay fears on Mideast deal JERUSALEM: US Secretary of State John Kerry held intense talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders yesterday, seeking to overcome their concerns about a framework to guide negotiations towards a peace deal. Kerry met Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and is due to meet him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again today for their third round of talks in as many days.
