Afghanistan Quake LIVE: Rescue Ops Continue After 900 Deaths in Devastating Disaster A powerful magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan late Sunday night, claiming the lives of at least 1,124 people, according to the Afghan Red Crescent. The disaster has left thousands injured, with the majority of casualties reported in Kunar province, one of the hardest-hit areas. Rescue operations are underway, but efforts are being hampered by the region's rugged terrain and severed communication lines. Widespread Devastation in Kunar Province The earthquake, centered in the volatile Hindu Kush mountain range, has caused significant destruction in remote communities. Homes, many constructed from mud and timber, collapsed under the force of the quake, trapping residents beneath the rubble. Local authorities report that entire villages in Kunar have been reduced to debris, leaving thousands homeless and in urgent need of aid. Emergency response teams are racing against time to locate survivors, but the lack of road access and disrupted mobile networks has slowed progress. "We are doing everything we can to reach those in need, but the mountainous terrain is making it incredibly difficult," said a spokesperson for the Afghan Red Crescent. Helicopters have been deployed to airlift supplies and medical personnel to isolated areas. A Region Prone to Seismic Activity Afghanistan lies near the convergence of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates, making it highly susceptible to earthquakes. The Hindu Kush region, in particular, experiences frequent seismic events, with quakes often triggering landslides that further complicate rescue efforts. Sunday's earthquake is one of the deadliest in recent years, highlighting the vulnerability of Afghanistan’s rural communities to natural disasters. The Afghan government, alongside international aid organizations, has mobilized resources to provide food, water, and temporary shelters to those affected. However, the scale of the disaster has overwhelmed local capacities, prompting calls for global assistance. "The situation is dire, and we need urgent support to save lives," said a government official. Challenges Ahead for Recovery As rescue operations continue, concerns are growing about the long-term impact on the region. Many survivors have lost their homes and livelihoods, and the approaching winter could exacerbate the crisis. Humanitarian agencies are warning that without sustained aid, the death toll could rise further due to exposure and lack of medical care. The international community has begun to respond, with neighboring countries and global relief organizations pledging support. However, political instability and ongoing security challenges in Afghanistan may complicate the delivery of aid to those who need it most. How to Help For those looking to assist, the Afghan Red Crescent and other humanitarian organizations are accepting donations to fund relief efforts. Supplies such as blankets, medical kits, and non-perishable food items are urgently needed to support the thousands of families displaced by the quake. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of Afghanistan’s vulnerability to natural disasters and the critical need for improved infrastructure and disaster preparedness in the region.

K Kavitha Out of BRS – Father KCR’s Tough Decision Shakes Party Hyderabad, September 2, 2025 – In a dramatic turn of events, Telangana MLC K Kavitha has been suspended from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the political party led by her father and former Chief Minister, K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR). The suspension, announced on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, follows Kavitha’s public accusations against senior BRS leader and her cousin, T Harish Rao, whom she blamed for instigating a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. Suspension Over "Anti-Party" Behavior In an official statement posted on X, BRS leaders T Ravinder Rao and Soma Bharat Kumar cited Kavitha’s recent remarks as damaging to the party’s reputation. “The leadership views MLC K Kavitha’s ongoing anti-party activities and statements seriously, as they are harming the BRS,” the statement read. “As a result, party President K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to suspend K Kavitha with immediate effect.” The move comes amid escalating internal conflicts within the BRS, with Kavitha’s allegations intensifying speculation about a power struggle within the party’s ranks. Kavitha’s Allegations Against Harish Rao On Monday, Kavitha publicly accused T Harish Rao, who served as Irrigation Minister during the BRS’s tenure from 2014 to 2023, and former Rajya Sabha MP J Santosh Kumar of colluding with Telangana’s current Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy of the Congress party. She alleged that the duo worked to amass personal wealth while tarnishing her father’s reputation. “We must question why KCR is being tainted with corruption charges. Some individuals close to him have benefited by exploiting his name,” Kavitha stated, pointedly questioning Harish Rao’s role in the Kaleshwaram project. Kavitha further claimed that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was shielding Harish Rao and Santosh Kumar, suggesting a conspiracy to undermine KCR. She expressed confidence that her father would emerge unscathed from the CBI investigation, describing him as “pure as a pearl.” However, she admitted that witnessing her father face such scrutiny was personally painful. The timing of Kavitha’s remarks is significant, as they followed the Telangana government’s decision on Sunday to hand over the Kaleshwaram project investigation to the CBI, raising questions about alleged mismanagement during the BRS’s rule. Family and Party Dynamics The suspension highlights long-simmering tensions within the BRS, particularly between Kavitha and her brother, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR). On the same day Kavitha made her accusations, KTR publicly praised Harish Rao for his defense during a discussion on the PC Ghose Commission Report, which investigated irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project. KTR called Harish Rao’s arguments a “master class,” a move interpreted as a subtle rebuke of Kavitha’s claims. The rift between Kavitha and the party leadership is not new. In July 2025, KTR appointed Koppula Eashwar as the in-charge of an influential coal miners’ union, a position previously held by Kavitha as Honorary President. This decision fueled speculation of a power struggle between the siblings. Earlier, in May, tensions surfaced when a private letter written by Kavitha to her father was allegedly leaked by someone close to KTR, further straining their relationship. Political Implications The internal discord within the BRS comes at a challenging time for the party, which lost power to the Congress in Telangana’s 2023 assembly elections. The Kaleshwaram project, a flagship initiative of the BRS government, has been under scrutiny for alleged cost overruns and design flaws. The CBI probe, now authorized by the Congress-led state government, could have significant political repercussions for the BRS and its leadership. Political analysts suggest that Kavitha’s suspension may deepen divisions within the party, potentially weakening its position ahead of future elections. The public airing of family and party disputes could also erode the BRS’s credibility among voters, who have long viewed the party as a tightly knit, family-led organization. What’s Next? As the CBI begins its investigation into the Kaleshwaram project, all eyes will be on how the BRS navigates this internal crisis. Kavitha’s suspension raises questions about her future role in the party and whether she will attempt to reconcile with the leadership or pursue an independent political path. Meanwhile, KCR faces the dual challenge of defending his legacy against corruption allegations while maintaining unity within the BRS. #kaleshwaram Link video - https://www.ndtv.com/video/embed-player/?site=classic&id=988650&autostart=false&autoplay=0&pWidth=500&pHeight=281&category=embed%27
