There is news of heavy landslide in China. It is being told that due to this, more than 100 people are expected to be buried.

According to the Chinese media, at least 40 houses have collapsed due to this natural calamity in the Maqsian county of Sichuan province.

According to the information, landslides came at 6 o'clock in the local time. More than 500 rescue workers have been evacuated in the rescue area.

According to the government, the incident took place when a part of the hill located here fell apart. Rescuers are working to remove stones with ropes and bulldozers.

Local police captain Chen Taibo told that there are many tons of stone lying here. Recently there was heavy rain that caused landslides.

Earlier, in Bangladesh, 163 people died due to landslides continuously for weeks. The disaster was termed by the government as the most horrific landslide in history.

A suicide bomber blew himself up near the Grand Mosque at Mecca as police disrupted a plot to target the holiest site in Islam just as the fasting month of Ramadan ends, Saudi security forces said Saturday.

The Interior Ministry said it launched a raid in Jiddah province, as well as two areas in Mecca itself, including the Ajyad Al-Masafi neighborhood, located near the Grand Mosque.

There, police said they engaged in a shootout at a three-story house a suicide bomber, who blew himself up and led to the building's collapse. He was killed while the blast wounded six foreigners and five members of security forces, according to the Interior Ministry's statement. Five others were arrested, including a woman, it said.

Saudi state television aired footage after the raid Friday near the Grand Mosque, showing police and rescue personnel running through the neighborhood's narrow streets. The blast demolished the building, its walls crushing a parked car as what appeared to be shrapnel and bullet holes peppered nearby structures.

The Interior Ministry ''confirms that this terrorist network, whose terrorist plan was thwarted, violated, in what they would have perpetrated, all sanctities by targeting the security of the Grand Mosque, the holiest place on Earth.''

''They obeyed their evil and corrupt self-serving schemes managed from abroad whose aim is to destabilize the security and stability of this blessed country,'' the statement said.

The ministry did not name the group involved in the attack. The ultraconservative Sunni kingdom battled an al-Qaida insurgency for years and more recently has faced attacks from a local branch of the Islamic State group. Neither group immediately claimed those arrested, though Islamic State sympathizers online have urged more attacks as an offensive in Iraq slowly squeezes the extremists out of Mosul and their de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria comes under daily bombing from a U.S.-led coalition.

The disrupted attack comes at a sensitive time in Saudi Arabia as King Salman earlier this week short-circuited the kingdom's succession by making his son, Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman, first in line to the throne. The newly appointed crown prince, 31 years old, is the architect of Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen against Shiite rebels, now stalemated. He has also offered aggressive comments about the kingdom confronting Shiite power Iran.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries have cut diplomatic ties to neighboring Qatar and are trying to isolate the energy-rich tiny country over its alleged support of militants and ties to Iran. Qatar long has denied those allegations.

As the Interior Ministry announced the raid, over 1 million Muslim faithful prayed at the Prophet's Mosque in Medina to mark the end of Ramadan. In July 2016, a suicide bombing there killed four members of Saudi Arabia's security forces. Millions of Muslims from around the world visit the mosque, the burial site of the Prophet Muhammad, every year as part of their pilgrimage to Mecca. The same day in July, separate suicide bomb attacks targeted a Shiite mosque in eastern Saudi Arabia and near the U.S. Consulate in Jiddah.

The Grand Mosque has been the target of militants before, in part as it represents a symbol of the ruling Al Saud family's clout in the Islamic world. King Salman is known as the "custodian of the two holy mosques," a title used by the monarchs before him as well.

In 1979, some 250 militants seized the mosque and held it for two weeks as they demanded the royal family abdicate the throne. When Saudi troops stormed the mosque, the official death toll was 229, including extremists and soldiers.

Bomb blasted in a car parked outside the bank in the capital of Helmand state of Afghanistan. At least 24 people have been killed in this attack in Lashkar Gah city and more than 60 people have been injured.

The attack took place around 12 noon at the local time. State Governor Umar Zak said, "The people in the wounded are civilians and army people. So far no sure number of dead has come out."

The blast happened outside a bank, where people had gathered to take their salary. The capital city is about 550 kilometres away from Kabul. No organization has taken responsibility for this attack so far.

Terrorist attacks through car have increased for the last few months in Afghanistan. On May 31, a suicidal bomb had exploded in a car in Kabul, killing 80 people and injuring 350. The blast happened near the German mission, in which the building of the Indian Embassy located 50 metres away was also damaged.

On March 8, the terrorists attacked the Afghan army's largest military hospital in Kabul. More than 100 people were killed in an encounter with security forces for six hours. The Islamic State took responsibility for the attack.

On 13 March a powerful explosion occurred in a bus. No organization had taken responsibility for the blast. The attack took place when the Taliban accelerated the attacks before the official start of the annual spring festival.

Thousands of Indians are going to grow hard by a fresh decision of the Saudi Arabian government. The Saudi Arabian government is going to impose 'dependent tax' on migrants living in the country from July 1. Under this, citizens of other countries living with family in Saudi Arabia will have to pay 100 Saudi Riyal (about Rs. 1700) per dependent tax in the form of tax.

According to a report, about 41 lakh Indians live in Saudi Arabia. The number of Indians living in Saudi Arabia is the highest in migrants.

Some migrants have said in the media that after this tax, they will send their family back to Hindustan. Mohamad Tahir, a migrant living in Saudi Arabia, told the Times of India newspaper that he could not bear the burden of this tax and he would send his family back to Hyderabad. Tahir told the newspaper that many more of his knowing are taking similar steps. Mohammad Tahir is a computer engineer. Another Indian migrant said that the Saudi Arab government wants that be a migrant unmarried.

The Saudi Arabian government gives family visas to migrant workers with more than five thousand riyals (about 86 thousand rupees). If a family with five thousand riyals has a wife and two children apart from a husband, then he will have to pay 300 riyals (about 5 thousand rupees) every month to the Saudi government in the form of tax. According to the report, the Saudi government will continue to increase the tax by 2020 every year.

According to the Saudi government's order, all migrant families will have to pay advance tax of this tax. That is, the family in which the three dependents his parents will have to pay 300 riyals in advance.

So far, the Indian Foreign Ministry has not made any statement about this tax imposed by the Saudi Arabian government.

During the tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the relationship between India and Saudi Arabia has become much better. Last year, the Indian PM went on a two-day tour of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arab government has also given its highest civilian honor to PM Modi. In such a situation, the tax breaks the waist of Indian workers is likely to sour relations between the two countries.
