Pure joy, true team spirit, and an unforgettable football match with my young friends,” the BJP president posted on social media with a video of the late-night match. Nabin, who was on a two-day visit to the state, helmed several organisational meetings and programmes, including a 'Yuva Samvad', as part of the party’s youth outreach.02Temple Tour/ Temple RunIndia's permanent representative to UNESCO, Vishal Verma, took a bus full of diplomats from countries accredited to UNESCO to visit the recently inaugurated BAPS Swaminarayan temple in Paris. The visit comes days after the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) ran into a controversy over allegations that women employees at the Eiffel Tower were asked to step away from their posts during a visit by the sect’s delegation. Verma took the high-profile delegation on a tour of the temple and called it a masterpiece of Indian stone carving and French precision stone engineering.03Judicial Green DiplomacyClose on the heels of the BRICS summit in the Capital, the city will see another international conference — under the aegis of the National Green Tribunal — on environment and climate.
