On the auspicious occasion of Eid, a huge crowd of pilgrims (devotees) gathered at the Dargah of Qalandar Haji Malang Baba located in Thane district of Maharashtra. Due to the enthusiasm of the festival and deep faith in Baba, thousands of people from Mumbai, Thane and surrounding areas came together for Ziyarat.

Due to this unexpected crowd, there was so much pressure on the Funicular Trolley service leading to the Dargah located on the hill that the system completely broke down. The video of the chaos at the trolley station is now going viral on social media.

This historical Dargah of Haji Malang Baba is situated on an inaccessible hill (Malang Garh) in Kalyan at an altitude of about 790 meters above sea level. In the video going viral, it can be clearly seen that the trolley station and its waiting area are jam-packed with people and there is no space left to even step foot.

On normal days, the trolley service is a convenient means of climbing the hill for the elderly, children and women, but on the day of Eid, due to the arrival of many times more people than the capacity, there was a waiting time of hours here. The pressure of the crowd was so much that many times a situation like pushing and shoving occurred at the station.

Hours of waiting and compulsion to climb on foot

Due to the limited capacity of the trolley and the crowd of thousands, the pilgrims had to face a lot of trouble. To get their turn, people had to stand in queues for hours in the scorching heat and humidity. When the wait became unbearable, hundreds of devotees abandoned the trolley and chose the difficult option of climbing this inaccessible and high hill on foot. Due to heavy crowd even on the footpath, people took double the time than usual to climb the route.

security personnel sweat

Controlling the pilgrims who arrived together in such a large number became a big challenge for the local administration and the Dargah management. The policemen, security forces and private guards deployed there had to work hard to handle the situation and avert any untoward incident. The security personnel tried to stop and queue the crowd through barricades.

After this viral video surfaced, people on social media are demanding better ‘crowd management’ and increasing emergency facilities at pilgrimage sites during such big festivals, so that any major accident can be avoided in future.

Between royal duties, King Charles checks in on his flock.

The monarch recently gave longtime royal photographer Chris Jackson a tour of “Cluckingham Palace,” the chicken coop at his beloved Highgrove estate. The photos are featured in Jackson’s new photo book, “Modern Majesty.” Jackson has photographed Charles, 77, for more than 20 years.

Cluckingham Palace, a cheeky nod to Buckingham Palace, was recently featured on Amazon Prime Video’s “Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision.”

“One of my favorite pictures in the book is King Charles feeding his Burford Brown and Maran chickens at his home called Highgrove,” Jackson told Fox News Digital.

“Many people don’t know he keeps chickens in a chicken coop called Cluckingham Palace,” Jackson said, laughing.

“Many people didn’t know about it until the recent documentary he made. But he’s very passionate about the environment. He’s very passionate about the countryside. And I think feeding his chickens in the morning is probably very far removed from many of the royal engagements he has to attend in a day. So, I would imagine it gives him a little bit of reflection and downtime away from the formalities of his day-to-day life.”

“Capturing those moments was very special because it’s not often something we imagine when we think about the king feeding chickens at Cluckingham Palace,” Jackson added.

“Well, the great thing is you give them something in return,” the sovereign said with a chuckle.

Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Charles has always had a great love for farming and the great outdoors. He purchased Highgrove, the royal country home, in 1980 and redesigned its landscape.

“Why chickens? Well, it was often said that Charles used to have his kitchen staff boil seven eggs each morning so he could find the perfect one for his breakfast,” said Turner.

“In his early days, Charles became a ‘tree hugger’ and used to regularly talk to his plants, which he felt helped them grow. He also had a keen interest in farming and helped to develop the farm shop at Windsor, which sold meat and vegetables grown on the royal estates.”

Jackson noted that the king has been in good spirits, tending to his chickens despite his health woes. In December, Charles announced that his cancer treatment would be reduced in the new year, a positive development in his health journey.

“Of course, it was probably the last thing he expected post-coronation, to be diagnosed with cancer,” said Jackson.

“It’s clearly a very difficult time for both himself, Queen Camilla and the royal family. But it’s been absolutely fantastic to see him bounce back with renewed energy. And certainly, it’s pretty difficult to keep up with him these days. He’s a very busy man, with multiple daily engagements and royal visits over the last couple of days. It certainly hasn’t stopped him from traveling abroad.”

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital he isn’t surprised Charles refers to his chicken coop as Cluckingham Palace. The monarch, he said, has always been known for his sense of humor.

“[One of my favorite stories] involves Charles trying to move a flock of sheep at Highgrove,” said Fitzwilliams. “Instead of obeying the royal command, they scattered in all directions with his arms waving, exacerbating the situation, until a nearby farmer stepped in. His affection for the countryside is also reflected in his watercolors. He has genuine talent and loves painting in the outdoors.”

Helena Chard, a British broadcaster and photographer, told Fox News Digital that Charles has one thing in common with the goats on his property.

“His wife has shared how he can now out-walk anyone, similar to an old goat!” she exclaimed.

“King Charles feels most at home in the tranquil countryside. Highgrove is his happy place where he is relaxed and away from royal duties. His gardens and eco-friendly practices highlight his passion for sustainability. The four-acre wildflower meadow is now home to 120 different species. He even devised tiny ramps positioned in all his fountains and ponds to help hedgehogs escape if they fall in.”

“Eating his way through local and seasonal produce from his estate, it is well-documented that the king is a lover of eggs,” Chard shared.

“Paying great attention to their preparation time, they play a huge part in his diet. After hunting, he has been known to invite guests back for boiled eggs, washed down with lashings of whiskey. Charles was introduced to chicken keeping by his beloved grandmother, the Queen Mother. He continues the tradition as a nod to animal welfare and sustainability.”

“He finds all of his breeds inquisitive, much like himself. Thankful for his steady supply of fresh organic eggs, he enjoys the personalities of his flock and the calm as they peck around Cluckingham Palace, living their best lives.”

Fitzwilliams noted that the king’s deep love for the countryside stems from his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. England’s longest-reigning monarch died in 2022 at age 96.

“It has been said of Queen Elizabeth that if she had not been queen, she would have been happy as a countrywoman among her corgis,” he said.

“King Charles inherited his father and mother’s affection for the countryside. He was the first major figure [in the U.K.] to espouse environmental causes as early as 1970. He has a focus on biodiversity, soil health and sustainability. He supports British farming and has been a keen rider, although his polo-playing days are long over. But he has participated in sporting country pursuits too, including fishing in Scotland.”

Back in 2023, Jackson told Fox News Digital that over the years, he’s learned plenty about the British royals. He described how the king is known for making an entrance in his vintage Aston Martin, just like James Bond.

“Did you know he had an ejector button in his Aston Martin? Probably not,” the royal photographer chuckled.

“He’s got this beautiful Aston Martin that runs on biofuel, which is basically surplus wine and cheese whey, which is pretty incredible,” Jackson said. “He’s obviously very passionate about the environment, [and] he’s got this beautiful car, an Aston Martin DB6 Volante, that’s environmentally friendly.”

The king, who has been a longtime advocate of sustainable living, bought the car in 1970. He converted it to run on biofuels, which use ethanol created from cheese-making whey and wine. He loaned his beloved vehicle to his son, Prince William, who used it to drive his bride, Kate Middleton, from their nuptials in 2011.

Charles’ cousin, Lord Snowdon, once joked, “How does [the former] Prince Charles drive his Aston Martin? Caerphilly.”

According to Jackson, Charles finds solace behind palace doors. Gardening has been his longtime hobby, with his garden at Highgrove described as “his pride and joy.” When he’s not feeding his chickens or collecting eggs, he’s painting landscapes or scenes from his travels.

Last Saturday (March 21, 2026) in Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Bilal Arif Salafi was shot dead after Eid prayers outside Lashkar headquarters Markaz Taiba in Muridke. ABP News was the first to tell you that the matter appeared to be one of internal enmity and factionalism in Lashkar-e-Taiba. Today ABP News has got another big exclusive information in this matter.

According to the information, as soon as Bilal Arif came out of the demolished premises of Salafi Markaz Taiba to meet other people of Lashkar after the Eid prayers, another terrorist commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan and his wife killed Bilal.

Both the murderers are in the custody of Shekhpura police.

According to exclusive information received from sources, Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan and his wife, who killed Bilal, had also come to the demolished premises of Markaz Taiba to offer Eid namaz and after the namaz, they were waiting to kill Bilal and as soon as Bilal arrived, Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan shot Bilal three times, while Ubaidullah’s wife stabbed Bilal with knives. Both are currently in the custody of Shekhpura police.

What is the whole story behind the murder?

Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan, his wife and deceased Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Bilal Arif live in Taiba Colony of Salafi Muridke, the house which has been allotted to them by Lashkar-e-Taiba itself. Besides, other big commanders of Lashkar like terrorist Zafar Iqbal also live in this Taiba Colony. 3-4 years ago, Lashkar commander Bilal Arif Salafi had killed the son-in-law of another Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan, but because Bilal Arif Salafi was close to India’s wanted terrorist Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Sheikhpura police had given a clean chit to Bilal and he was not punished.

Under which sections did the police register the FIR?

For this reason, Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan and his wife, who were burning with revenge, killed this senior Lashkar-e-Taiba commander and close aide of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi yesterday, Saturday (March 21, 2026), just after the Eid prayers. Sheikhpura police is currently interrogating Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan and his wife, who murdered Lashkar commander Arif Bilal Salafi, and an FIR has been registered against both of them under sections of murder and disturbing the atmosphere.

Ghazi Ubaidullah was active in JK from 1993 to 2003.

According to sources, the senior terrorist Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan, who killed terrorist commander Bilal Arif Salafi, was an old terrorist of Lashkar-e-Taiba and was active in Jammu and Kashmir, India from 1993 to 2003. Later Ubaidullah Khan crossed the border back to Pakistan and started training terrorists inside Muridke.

Ubaidullah Khan was a resident of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, but after returning, his stature not only increased in Lashkar, but he was even given a house to live in Taiba Colony of Muridke. At this time, Lashkar-e-Taiba was giving a stipend of Rs 20,000 every month to Ghazi Ubaidullah Khan.

Bilal Ahmed Salafi was associated with Lashkar since 2005

Killed terrorist commander Bilal Ahmed Salafi was associated with Lashkar since 2005 and was handling the responsibility in the financial department of Lashkar, where he was the head of the finance department of Lashkar in Sheikhpura district and used to collect around 40 lakh Pakistani rupees every year.

According to sources, Lashkar-e-Taiba used to give Bilal a stipend of Rs 1 lakh 60 every month. Last Saturday (21 March) night, the Namaz-e-Janaza of Bilal Salafi, who was killed in Jamia ud Dawa located in the 6-acre campus of Markaz Tayyaba, was held and then Bilal was buried in the cemetery located in the same campus.
