  • 10th May 2010, Meerut: Mammu Singh (65) one of India's last official hangmen at his house in Shiv Hari Mandir Colony, Nail Basti, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India, 10th May 2010.<br />
<br />
With the recent sentencing to death by hanging of Ajmal Kasab the sole surviving gunman from the Mumbai attacks in 2008 there is a good chance that if the sentence is carried out within a few years that Mammu Singh will be the hangman. He has expressed a wish to pull the lever and says it will be  'a great service to the entire country , the noose should be tightened around Quasab's neck. Only then will the souls of those who died in the 26/11 attacks rest in peace. It is my ardent desire to ne the one the Maharashtra government calls upon to execute Qasab'.<br />
Singh is an executioner of 30 years standing following on from and to begin with assisting his father Kallu Ram Jallad, he performed his first execution in 1973 and his total is now 15. He was permanently employed as a hangman in 1998 and has been stationed at Meerut's Abdullapur jail ever since on a monthly sallary or Rs 3000.  Together with his father he exectuted the assassins of the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<br />
Before becoming a hangman Singh used to work as a rickshaw puller and also sold cloth in neighbouring villages. <br />

People have been coming to Firoz Shah Kotla to leave written notes and offerings for Djinns in the hopes of getting wishes granted since the late 1970's. Jinn, jann or djinn are supernatural creatures in Islamic mythology as well as pre-Islamic Arabian mythology. They are mentioned frequently in the Quran  and other Islamic texts and inhabit an unseen world called Djinnestan. In Islamic theology jinn are said to be creatures with free will, made from smokeless fire by Allah as humans were made of clay, among other things. According to the Quran, jinn have free will, and Iblis abused this freedom in front of Allah by refusing to bow to Adam when Allah ordered angels and jinn to do so. For disobeying Allah, Iblis was expelled from Paradise and called "Shaytan" (Satan).They are usually invisible to humans, but humans do appear clearly to jinn, as they can possess them. Like humans, jinn will also be judged on the Day of Judgment and will be sent to Paradise or Hell according to their deeds. Feroz Shah Tughlaq (r. 1351–88), the Sultan of Delhi, established the fortified city of Ferozabad in 1354, as the new capital of the Delhi Sultanate, and included in it the site of the present Feroz Shah Kotla. Kotla literally means fortress or citadel.

<br />
According to Dorothea Stumm, a glaciologist at the Nepal-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, a massive hanging glacier cracked when an earthquake struck at 11.56am on the 25th April 2015. The ice formed a cloud that gathered snow and rocks and then funnelled down the mountain, burying the village, and creating an enormous pressurised blast. 400 residents of the village and up to 100 trekkers are believed to have been killed.<br />
