Welcome to the ABP News LIVE for Friday, March 26, 2021: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has begun two-day visit to Bangladesh on Friday, which will be his first to a foreign country since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to his departure to Bangladesh, PM Modi said that he looks forward to having "substantive discussions" with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He will also call on Bangladesh President Abdul Hamid during the visit.
Two people were killed after a massive fire broke out at a coronavirus hospital in Maharashtra’s Bhandup on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday. As many as 70 patients of Sunrise hospital, including those affected with Covid-19, have been shifted to another medical centre.
Farmers protesting against the 3 agricultural laws have called a 12-hour ‘Bharat Bandh’. The nationwide shutdown began at 6 am on Friday. The pan-India blockade has been called to mark the completion of four months of protests against the laws, which began on the borders of Delhi on November 26 last year.
Rail and road transportation services are likely to be affected and markets may remain closed in parts of the country on Friday as farmer unions protesting against the three agri laws have called a complete ''Bharat Bandh'', even as it will not be observed in four poll-bound states and Puducherry.
India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against England. But England’s troubles didn’t end there as the visiting team faced a double injury blow with Eoin Morgan and Sam Billings both got injured during the 1st ODI. Morgan faced a hand injury while Billings suffered a shoulder injury during the 1st ODI. In the absence of Morgan, Jos Buttler will take over the captaincy of the England team.
