Trash booms bring relief to choked canals in Thiruvananthapuram
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With concerns over plastic pollution continuing unabated in the capital, the corporation has been grappling with the challenge of curbing plastic waste from choking the citys rivers, canals and drains. In an accomplishment of sorts, the civic body, in collaboration with Plastic Fischer, a Germany-based social enterprise, removed over 600 tonnes of plastic waste from local waterbodies over the past two years -- though it also served to underscore the severity of the crisis. This was achieved using innovative trash-boom systems -- floating barriers designed to trap plastic waste -- across canal networks and rivers including Amayizhanchan canal, Killi River and Ulloor Thodu. In light of the effectiveness of trash booms, the civic body is planning to deploy two more such systems at strategic locations along the Amayizhanchan canal near Rajaji Nagar -- one of the critical hotspots. Abraham Thomas Renjith, project manager at Plastic Fischer, said that trash booms collect an average of 25 tonnes of plastic per month from waterbodies in the capital city. At present, we have employed around 24 individuals and the trash booms have been deployed at critical locations. In some locations, the waste is removed everyday, he said. The project was implemented in Thiruvananthapuram with support from Allianz. Mangaluru, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kanpur and Varanasi are the other cities where Plastic Fischer is implementing similar projects. We are getting a lot of enquiries from other cities within Kerala, said Abraham. Fencing the canal network to prevent dumping of waste proves to be ineffective, he added. An official of the health wing of the city corporation said that trash booms prove to be very effective. Its a very successful model that can be replicated by other cities and local bodies. We continue with our fight against plastic but rooting out plastic completely is impossible. Though we have strengthened waste collection and enforcement, there is no decline in the generation of waste, said the official. The official said that trash booms will be deployed in more locations, especially the river basins in the immediate future.

He assured the family of getting the severest punishment for the terrorists wherever they may be. Earlier, the Congress MP arrived in Amethi for the first time after last year's parliamentary polls and began his day with an inspection of the ordnance factory in Munshiganj. Rahul Gandhi had laid the foundation stone of the factory during the UPA rule in 2007. He also inspected the Indo-Asian Rifles Private Limited unit located on the same campus which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 3, 2019. Both facilities have now begun manufacturing rifles. Gandhi spent nearly an hour inside the factories, examining the rifles and interacting with officials to understand the production processes. The Congress leader then visited the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, where he inaugurated a new heart unit meant for open heart surgery, built at a cost of approximately Rs 3.5 crore. During his Amethi visit, Gandhi also reviewed the progress of the Indira Gandhi College of Nursing, a project he is personally associated with. He interacted with students and faculty members and took stock of the institution's activities. Both the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital and the Indira Gandhi College of Nursing are managed by the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Trust, New Delhi, of which Congress leader Sonia Gandhi is the chairperson and Rahul Gandhi a trustee. Congress MP from Amethi, KL Sharma, accompanied Rahul Gandhi during his visit to the district on Wednesday. However, ahead of Rahul Gandhis arrival, posters labelling him as a supporter of terror were seen around Amethi town. Near the guesthouse gate of the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers burnt his effigy and raised slogans demanding his departure from Amethi.

Rahul Gandhi reaches Rae Bareli on two-day visit to UP
LUCKNOW: Former Congress president and Rae Bareli MP Rahul Gandhi arrived on a two-day visit to his parliamentary constituency on Tuesday morning. He commenced his visit by distributing over a dozen solar-powered carts donated by an NGO to the underprivileged. While winding up his two-day visit to Rae Bareli and Amethi, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday, is slated to visit the family members of Kanpurs Shubham Dwivedi who was killed in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. The Leader of Opposition (LoP) also inaugurated 2 MW Atom Solar Roof Plant and the Atom Electric Charging Station at Visaka Industries Limited, Kundanganj. On the way to the inauguration venue, the Congress leader stopped at many places to greet his supporters. He also unveiled a statue of Subhash Chandra Bose at Civil Lines and then headed to the Bachat Bhawan (district collectorate) to attend the DISHA (District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee) meeting along with local leaders and public representatives. During the meeting he raised questions over the Jal Jeevan Mission, claiming that a sample survey showed that the potable water schemes had not reached people so far. At some places, leakage in the pipeline was spotted, and many households had not received the connection yet. He said that a committee comprising of officers and public representatives should be set up to check the authenticity of potable water schemes. He expressed disappointment over central schemes, claiming that of the 25 trainees of the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Rural Skill Programme, only three could get placement. He called the programme a total flop. Rahul Gandhi also visited the Railway Coach factory. Rahul Gandhis visit to Rae Bareli on Tuesday will conclude in Amethi on Wednesday, thus, he will be keeping one of the promises he made during the 2024 general election that he would give equal treatment to both the Lok Sabha constituencies. Both Rae Bareli and Amethi were considered to be the strongholds of the Nehru-Gandhi family till Rahul Gandhi lost Amethi to Smriti Irani in 2019. As Rahul Gandhi, who has represented Amethi Lok Sabha seat thrice in 2004, 2009 and 2014, decided to shift to Rae Bareli, and he was replaced by family loyalist KL Sharma against then Union minister Smriti Irani in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In Amethi, besides visiting the ordnance factory project at Korwa, Amethi, Rahul Gandhi is likely to inaugurate an open-heart surgery operation theatre at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Munshiganj. The ordnance factory project facility is for the production of AK-203 assault rifles, a Kalashnikov variant, as part of an Indo-Russian joint venture. Rahul Gandhi is proposed to pay a visit to Indira Gandhi Nursing College at Munshiganj in the constituency. Earlier, on Tuesday, upon arriving at Lucknow airport, he was received by state Congress chief Ajay Rai, Amethi MP Kishori Lal Sharma, and other local leaders. Meanwhile, after winning from Rae Bareli in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, this has been the fifth visit of the Congress MP to his constituency. However, after the DISHA meeting, Uttar Pradesh Minister of State (Independent Charge) Dinesh Pratap Singh, who was also present at the meeting, addressed the media and made critical remarks about the Congress leader's intentions. Singh accused Rahul Gandhi of attending the meeting merely to register his presence for media attention. He comes just to make headlines. On the way, he might stop to eat jalebi or sit at a cobbler's shop because it gets him media coverage, said the minister.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has strongly condemned the Samajwadi Party's (SP) response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed Kanpur resident Shubham Dwivedi.

1984 anti-Sikh riots: SC orders expeditious trial of 11 cases in Kanpur
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday directed the expeditious trial of 11 cases related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, in which chargesheets were filed post a reinvestigation. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh asked the special public prosecutors appointed in the case to enter appearance before the courts aside from measures for the cases' early disposal. The bench underlined an inordinate delay in the matter and ordered the expeditious trial of the cases. Advocate Ruchira Goel, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, said a 40-year-old illegible FIR in a Kanpur anti-Sikh riots case was forwarded to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to re-trace its contents but the laboratory was yet to give a report. The bench directed the CFSL to expedite the process and submit its report at the earliest. Goel referred to the trial being underway with the examination of witnesses in a related case. The counsel appearing for the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee said some accused persons moved the high court and obtained a stay on the proceedings. The top court was hearing a plea for the reopening of the killings of around 130 Sikhs in Kanpur during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. On March 3, the bench allowed the Uttar Pradesh government to engage forensic experts to reconstruct the four-decade-old illegible FIR in the case, requesting the laboratory's director not to insist on the original FIR, which was not readily available in the records of the chief judicial magistrate, Kanpur. Even if the CFSL found the contents of the FIR were illegible, the court lab was asked to identify the Hindi words/expressions on the basis of which victims might be able to submit their protest petitions in the court concerned. The top court on January 2 permitted the complainants and their families to engage a private counsel to assist the high court in appeals against the acquittals of the accused persons. If the complainants/victims or their families are not in a position to avail the services of a private counsel, they are permitted to approach the executive chairpersons of the UP State Legal Services Authority/High Court Legal Services Committee immediately, it said. In the 11 cases, which were reinvestigated and chargesheets were filed, the Uttar Pradesh government appointed Kamlesh Kumar Pathak and Ranjeet Singh as special public prosecutors. In those cases also, we permit the complainants/victims/ their families to engage counsel for which the trial court is directed to accord necessary permission, the bench said. If, owing to financial constraints, the top court said, the complainants and their families were unable to engage such a counsel, the district legal services authority will provide the best expert leading lawyer of the sessions division to represent the victims in trial, on payment of special fee. The fee would be sanctioned by the executive chairperson of the UP State Legal Services Authority as a special case, it added.

Heaven on earth turned to hell: Families in grief, horror after Pahalgam terror attack
What was meant to be a celebration of love, family, and dreams turned into one of the bloodiest chapters in recent Kashmir history. The serene valley of Pahalgam, famously known as Mini Switzerland, became the site of horror on Tuesday as terrorists opened fire on unsuspecting tourists. At least 28 lives were lost newlyweds, fathers, sons, and professionals who had come seeking peace but instead met brutality. Among them was Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, a 26-year-old naval officer from Karnal, Haryana, on his honeymoon with his wife Himanshi. The couple had married just five days prior, on April 16. Vinay, who had been commissioned into the Navy two years ago, was dining with his wife when he was shot in the head. His grandfather, a retired police officer, recounted how Vinay had always dreamt of serving the armed forces. He was just a boy when he started asking questions about military vehicles. That dream brought him here and now, took him away, he said. From Karnataka, another family is shattered. Manjunath Rao , 48, a Bengaluru-based realtor, was vacationing with his wife and son to celebrate his sons excellent results in the Class XII exams he had scored 96%. They had planned to return home on April 24. Instead, the family is returning with his lifeless body. His wife Pallavi, still numb with shock, recalled the harrowing moment when her husband was gunned down in front of her. After killing my husband, I asked them to kill me too. One of them said, Nahin marenge, Modi ko boldo... and walked away, she said. Prasant Kumar Satpathy , 43, from Balasore, Odisha, had been saving for months to show his family the snow-clad landscapes of Kashmir. The accounts assistant from CIPET was with his wife and nine-year-old son when he was gunned down near the ropeway. He just wanted to show us heaven on earth, his grieving wife told relatives. Now, his younger brother is on his way to bring his body back home. Shubham Dwivedi, a 31-year-old businessman from Kanpur, had been married for just two months. He was in Pahalgam with 11 family members when he was shot point blank after terrorists confirmed his identity. His wife Aishanya, who hails from Lucknow, watched in helpless horror. They asked me who he was. When I said, My husband, they shot him in front of me, she said. The couple had taken a train to Delhi, a flight to Srinagar, and were to return on April 23 the day of his final journey. In Aruhi village of Bihars Rohtas district, sorrow hangs thick in the air. The dusty lanes are unusually quiet, the faces somber. News that Manish Ranjan, an Intelligence Bureau officer, had been gunned down in front of his wife and two young children during the Pahalgam attack has left his entire village and family across two states in stunned disbelief. The 42-year-old officer, originally from Aruhi but posted in Hyderabad, had taken a rare break from work to travel with his wife Asha (also known as Jaya), 12-year-old son, and 8-year-old daughter. It was supposed to be a bonding trip a pilgrimage and a vacation wrapped into one. He was excited about visiting Vaishno Devi. I was going to join them too, but couldnt go because of my health, said his uncle Alok Priyadarshi, his voice trembling over the phone. Now we only want justice from the government. He served the nation and they shot him in front of his children. His family, originally from Rohtas but currently settled in Malda, West Bengal, is shattered. His father, Manglesh Mishra, a retired college teacher, had hoped to see all three of his sons thriving. Now the eldest is gone leaving behind grieving parents, two brothers employed in government services, and children too young to understand the finality of death. He had called me just before leaving, said his other uncle, Alok Ranjan, from Sasaram. The kids were excited. The family was happy. But destiny had willed it otherwise. Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar both condemned the attack, calling it a cowardly and despicable act. But no statement can ease the devastation in Aruhi, where a decorated officers life ended in a valley that was meant to bring peace. 32-year-old Syed Adil Hussain Shah, a local horse rider was the sole provider for his family. Adil wasnt a tourist. He wasnt part of any convoy. He was one of Kashmirs own a man who saddled up horses for visitors, offering them rides through the stunning slopes of Baisaran,That day, he had gone to Pahalgam for work as usual, unaware that he wouldnt return home again. When bullets flew, they hit locals and visitors alike. One of them struck Adil, ending a life that had been holding together an entire household. We called his phone when we heard about the firing, said his father, Syed Haider Shah, his voice trembling as he recalled the hours of helpless waiting. It was switched off. Later, it rang once, but nobody answered. We rushed to the police station. Thats where they told us my son had been martyred. Adils family lives in modest conditions no riches, no safety nets. His work as a horse rider was their only income. Now, his wife, children, elderly parents, and relatives are left shattered, not just by grief but by the uncertainty of what comes next. He was our only support, cried his mother, barely able to speak through her tears. He fed us, clothed us, did everything. Now, we have nothing. His uncle, Shaheed Bug Singh, painted a fuller picture: Adil had a young family his wife, his children. He was the eldest son, the backbone of this family. Poor as we are, we could still sleep at night knowing he was there for us. Now we have no one. Relatives and neighbours from the region echoed the same pain, and a shared feeling of betrayal. Adil represented the real Kashmir hardworking, peace-loving, said Mohiddin Shah, a relative. And yet he was gunned down like his life meant nothing. This isnt just a tragedy, its a wound on our Kashmiriyat. The Shah family is now pleading for help financial, emotional, and most of all, judicial. We want justice, his father said. We want answers. Why was an innocent Kashmiri man killed? Who will now take care of his family? Across the nation the reaction is the same: silence, disbelief, and mourning. Entire communities have been left reeling.

'Filing criminal case in civil dispute unacceptable': SC slaps 50k fine on UP cops
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday imposed a Rs 50,000 fine on two Uttar Pradesh police officials for filing an FIR in a property dispute of civil nature. The bench said the top court was flooded with the petitions challenging registration of FIRs in civil disputes and the practice was in violation of a plethora of judgements. Filing a criminal case for civil wrongs is unacceptable, said a bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar and refused to waive off the fine imposed on errant police officials. The bench told the state government counsel, You pay the cost of Rs 50,000 and recover it from the officers. The counsel had sought waiving off the fine. The CJI recorded the facts of the case and said an FIR was lodged against Rikhab Birani and Sadhna Birani, who hail from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, in the case. While dealing with a similar case, the CJI had said previously, There is a complete breakdown of rule of law in Uttar Pradesh. Converting a civil matter into a criminal case is not acceptable. The director general of the state police was then directed to file an affidavit in the particular case. In the case at hand, the bench noted the FIR was lodged by the state police despite the fact that a local magisterial court twice rejected two separate pleas of one Shilpi Gupta seeking a direction for criminal prosecution against the Biranis. 'Strange, shocking things happening in UP': SC slams state police over conversion of civil disputes to criminal cases It came on record that the Biranis orally entered into an agreement to sell their warehouse in Kanpur to Gupta on a consideration of Rs 1.35 crore. Gupta paid Rs 19 lakh only towards part sale consideration and could not pay the agreed 25 per cent advance by September 15, 2020 to the Biranis. Later, the Biranis sold the facility to a third party at a reduced price of Rs 90 lakh and did not refund Rs 19 lakh paid by Gupta who twice unsuccessfully approached a criminal court for lodging an FIR. The local court held that it couldn't order a criminal investigation as the matter was civil in nature. However, the local police lodged the FIR against the Biranis for offences, including cheating, criminal intimidation following which they were summoned by the court. The Allahabad High Court refused to quash the FIR and asked them to face the trial. The order was then challenged in the top court. Supreme Court objects to Allahabad High Court's rape victim 'invited trouble for herself' observation

NIA court sentences Maoist operative to nine years in jail for carrying out anti-national activities
LUCKNOW: A special NIA court sentenced Rajendra Munda, an active member of banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), to nine years of imprisonment for conspiring against the nation and attempting to disrupt India's unity, integrity, and sovereignty here on late Thursday. Moreover, Special NIA court Judge Hussain Ahmad Ansari also imposed a fine of Rs 43,000 on the convict. As per Government Counsel MK Singh, Rajendra Mundas conviction was done under Sections 121 A (conspiracy) of IPC and different sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). According to the government counsel, the case dates back to 2010 when multiple members of the banned Maoist outfit and its frontal organisations were arrested in Gorakhpur, Kanpur, and Prayagraj. Several others, however, managed to escape, prompting the authorities to keep a close watch on absconding accused. According to officials, Munda was attempting to meet his sister Hiramani Munda alias Asha, a fellow Maoist operative who was arrested and lodged in Gorakhpur jail. On receiving intelligence inputs, the UP Special Task Force (STF), apprehended Rajendra Munda near Shani Mandir on Station Road in Gorakhpur. Munda was arrested with Maoist literature and anti-national propaganda material. As per the sources, during the interrogation, Munda disclosed that Asha and her husband Balraj alias Baccha Prasad Singh both arrested from Kanpur were associated with the Maoist organisation. He admitted to aiding them in organisational activities and said he was planning to visit Asha in jail before fleeing to Bihar. Munda also revealed that he was inducted into the outfit about one-and-a-half years ago through his sister Asha.

Six dead as sudden rain, thunderstorm hit UP; CM calls for survey on crop losses
LUCKNOW: Six lives were lost due to a lightning strike as the weather took a turn resulting in a thunderstorm accompanied by heavy rains, strong winds with hail storm at certain places across UP on Thursday. Though people got some relief from sweltering heat wave like conditions, farmers suffered losses due to damage to standing and harvested crops in the fields. As per the IMD sources, such weather conditions are likely to continue for next three days in the state. The skies were shrouded with dark clouds since Thursday morning in state capital Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, NCR along with 25 cities across the state. The districts of the Terai region, including Bahraich, Pilibhit and Lakhimpur Kheri had a hailstorm followed by heavy rains destroying the standing crop of wheat and mango. Officials at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the weather took the turn after the Westerly winds from the Arabian Sea and easterly from the Bay of Bengal collided. While the actual assessment of the loss and damage to crops would take time, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath ordered a quick survey of the damage to the crops and asked officials to conduct field visits for the same. The CM issued orders for all District Magistrates, SDMs, and Tehsildars to visit the affected areas immediately and carry out a detailed survey so that the compensation against the damages can be disbursed directly to the farmers' accounts within 24 hours. He warned the district administrations against negligence and laxity. Following the survey, compensation for crop losses will be provided by the Revenue Department in collaboration with insurance companies. Additionally, the Relief Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami issued an alert due to the ongoing bad weather urging people to step out of their homes only when absolutely necessary. Moreover, the Relief Commissioner asked the DMs, SDMs and Tehsildars, to upload the field survey reports over damage to the crops on the department's portal as soon as possible. It is important to note that compensation will only be provided to farmers whose crops suffered more than 33 percent damage due to floods, hailstorms, and unseasonal rains. Meanwhile, the mango growers of Lucknows mango belt, Malihabad and adjoining Barabanki sounded concerned for the crop as thunderstorms caused the immature fruit to fall, leading to some losses. However, the rain, mango growers said, would certainly help the fruit increase its size and sweetness. Malihabad produces Dussehri, Langda, Lucknauva Safeda, and Chausa. Dussehri is the earliest ripening variety, followed by Langda, Lucknauva Safeda, and Chausa. At this stage, fruit has formed for every variety, but in different sizes. Since the thrust and speed of wind in Malihabad on Thursday were not very high, the windfall was not expected to be severe.
Craving for chicken landed fake cardiologist N John Camm in MP police's custody
BHOPAL : Craving for mouth-watering chicken delicacies landed fake cardiologist N John Camm aka Narendra Yadav in Madhya Pradesh police's custody, it has emerged. Tracking his cell-phone location, cops from Damoh district reached Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday, when they found Yadav's phone was switched off. Unable to track his location subsequently, the Damoh district police team contacted their cyber cell team back in MP, who while tracking Yadav's call details, zeroed in on one phone number to which multiple calls had been made by the fake cardiologist on Monday. The cops on the ground in Prayagraj found that the concerned phone number pertained to a popular non-vegetarian restaurant. Reaching there, the restaurant staff admitted that the caller (Yadav) had been calling them repeatedly seeking delivery of multiple chicken delicacies at his home, which they refused to make due to staff and distance constraints. Based on the address given by the restaurant staff, the police located Yadav's rented flat in a premier township and nabbed him from there on Monday afternoon. Yadavs ongoing questioning and revelations Currently in police remand in MP's Damoh district, Yadav (being probed over allegations of the deaths of seven patients after minimally invasive surgical procedures) has revealed that he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm, owing to a five-year-old ban imposed on him by authorities in India during 2015. He was banned from any kind of medical practice by authorities in 2015, following a case against him in Noida (UP) for forging documents related to medical qualifications and experience. Owing to it only, he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm (which resembled the name of famous British clinical cardiologist John Camm) and started working again, a senior Damoh police official told The New Indian Express . Yadav's grilling has also revealed that he doesn't hail from Dehradun (Uttarakhand), but is instead a native of Kanpur (UP) and lived in a rented flat in Prayagraj district. He completed his MBBS from North Bengal Medical College in Siliguri in 1996, but couldn't crack the MD exam, despite repeated attempts. Later, he did his MRCP and other courses from the UK and worked there for some years. He has also worked in Germany and the US and keeps on visiting Nuremberg. Further, he has also worked in hospitals in other parts of India, including Hyderabad, Delhi and Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) and worked in the Mission Hospital in Damoh between December 2024 and February 2025 on the basis of the fake MD and DM (Cardiology) degrees for which he was booked by the Damoh Kotwali police on Sunday midnight. As far as the seven deaths, which allegedly happened after angiography and angioplasty procedures at the Mission Hospital in Damoh (MP), at least three deaths are directly related to minimally invasive surgical procedures performed by Yadav. A team of cardiologists at the Jabalpur Medical College are in the final stages of their probe into the deaths, sources said. According to the Damoh district police superintendent Shrutkirti Somvanshi, It's still early days into Yadav's grilling and more disclosures are likely in the coming days. We'll request the central government's help in verifying the disclosures of Yadav's visits and working experience of UK, US and Germany, particularly as he has travelled multiple times to Nuremberg in Germany.

Sangh welcomes all who pay respect to Bharat Mata, saffron flag: Mohan Bhagwat
LUCKNOW: Calling upon those who do not believe in the ideology of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to join the Sangh and attend its Shakhas, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said the organisation welcomes all who pay respect to Bharat Mata and the Bhagwa Jhanda (saffron flag). While replying to a query from a participant at a Shakha during his four-day Pravas in the Kashi regional unit, the RSS chief reiterated the need for forming a strong society by ending caste discrimination, environmental, economic and other issues. While responding to a query over the participation of Muslims in Shakhas, Bhagwat said they all were welcome with the only condition being that each one coming to join Shakha should have no hesitation in chanting Bharat Mata Jai and must show respect for the saffron flag. The RSS chief said that Indians might have different religious practices and lifestyle but their culture was same. He added that people from all faiths, sects and castes in India were welcome at the Shakhas. Bhagwat also visited Padma Shri recipient litterateur late Ramchandra Vermas home, Shabdlok, and met local intelligentsia. Vermas grandson, Deepak Kapoor, said he and his entire family felt blessed to have Bhagwat at their home on the auspicious occasion of Ramnavami. Bhagwat also held a meeting with Vedic scholars of Kashi when he mobilised them to work hard to achieve the goal of making India a Vishwa Guru. While interacting with 94 IITians and 28 professors of BHU, the RSS chief exhorted them to visit different villages by taking time out of their busy schedule. He said Sangh was preparing to hold Shakhas in 58000 village panchayats across UP. During his pravas (stay) in Kashi, Bhagwat gave the message of being on same page with the BJP over Hindutva.

The heat wave prevailing in many parts of the state will intensify in the coming days, he said. The temperature is likely to increase in the state by 3 to 4 degrees in the coming days. On Monday, the maximum temperature in some parts of southwestern Rajasthan is likely to settle around 44 to 45 degrees and 42 to 44 degrees in parts of eastern Rajasthan, he said. Uttar Pradesh braces for above normal temperatures this summer A punishing summer is in store for Uttar Pradesh, with prolonged periods of above normal temperature and intense heat waves predicted from April to June this year. The state's Bundelkhand region, which covers seven districts of Jhansi and Chitrakootdham division, will bear the brunt of the heatwaves, posing significant risks to both human and animal health, weather officials said. During these months, above-normal maximum temperatures are expected across Uttar Pradesh. The forecast indicates that daytime temperatures will consistently exceed the 40-degree Celsius mark, Atul Kumar Singh, a MeT official here, said. Adding to the concern, night time temperatures are also projected to remain unusually high. The minimum temperatures recorded during night time are also expected to remain above normal, Singh said. The Bundelkhand region is anticipated to be the epicentre of this extreme heat, he added. The first week of April has already provided a stark preview of the impending heat, with daytime temperatures surging. As per the MeT Department, the day temperature in Kanpur, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Fatehpur, Amethi, Ghazipur, Sultanpur, and Hamirpur have been crossing the 40-degree mark since last week. On Saturday, Prayagraj recorded a maximum temperature of 41.6 degrees Celsius, 4.2 degrees above the seasonal average, MeT officials said. The forecast predicts that maximum daytime temperature will frequently exceed 35 degrees Celsius, consistently bordering 40 degrees, and is likely to surpass 45 degrees in some areas. Night time temperatures are expected to remain in the range of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius. The possibility of rain that could provide any relief during these days over Uttar Pradesh remains below normal in the months of April, May and June, Singh added. Furthermore, an above-normal number of heatwave days are expected across the state. During April 2025, an above-normal number of heatwave days are likely over most parts of Uttar Pradesh, the forecast stated. Medical professionals emphasise that heat waves pose a greater health risk than high temperatures alone. High temperatures cause general discomfort, which can be managed by staying in the shade and consuming ample water. However, heat wave exposure disrupts the body's natural temperature regulation, leading to severe dehydration and potential health complications, explained Dr.Shantanu Mishra, a Lucknow-based general practitioner. In response to the MeT department's forecast, the state government has directed district administrations to implement mitigation measures. District administrations have been alerted to the expected adverse hot weather and instructed to take measures to reduce its impact. Hospitals in the districts have also been asked to prepare for a surge in heat-related illnesses, Uttar Pradesh Relief Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami said. The Animal Husbandry department is also taking proactive steps to protect livestock. Cattle shelters across the state have been instructed to provide shaded areas and ample water for animals. Veterinary departments have been placed on high alert to assist farmers in rural areas whose livestock may be affected by the extreme conditions, Animal Husbandry Minister Dharmpal Singh said.

Uttar Pradesh police remain vigil across state in wake of Waqf Amendment Bill
LUCKNOW: Amid the prevailing tension following the passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill in Parliament on late Thursday night, security was tightened in all the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh amid fierce criticism of the Bill from various quarters of Muslim community. However, there was no incident of public protest reported from anywhere in the state. UP police in all the 75 districts held Flag March in the wake of the passage of the Bill with a strict monitoring of potential troublemakers. Moreover, the state police are keeping an eye on the situation through drones as well. Notably, UP DGP Prashant Kumar had cancelled the leave of all the police personnel calling them back to join duty with immediate effect on Wednesday when the Bill was tabled in Lok Sabha. While cautioning the officers to exercise utmost caution in their respective districts, the state police chief has directed the officers in the sensitive areas to remain mobile in the field and intensify the police patrolling in public places. The police chiefs of respective districts, including state capital Luckow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Sambhal, Aligarh, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Agra, Bulandshahr, Rampur, Jalaun, Moradabad and Mathura, remained on high alert and conducted flag march coupled with the monitoring of sensitive areas, shrines and dargahs through drone. Moreover, the vigilance was increased in Muslim dominated localities of the cities across the state. Congress to challenge Waqf (Amendment) Bill in Supreme Court In Lucknow, police surveillance was amplified especially in over a dozen localities across the old city area. Special security measures were taken to protect Vidhan Bhawan, Satkhanda, Roomi Gate and Chowk areas. Rapid Action Force, Sashastra Seema Bal and 10 companies of Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) conducted flag march. All the preventive measures have been put in place. Cops are aware of SOPs. People are urged not to have any misconception, said DCP (Central) Lucknow Ashish Srivastava. In the Taj city of Agra, police and PAC units were deployed around the Jama Masjid with barriers erected at various points to control the movement. Flag marches are being conducted since Wednesday morning, especially, in areas with diverse population. Additionally, the authorities are also monitoring social media platforms to prevent any attempt to spread misinformation. Uttar Pradesh: Waqf Board to be reconstituted and new guidelines implemented shortly However, numerous Muslim organisations denounced the Waqf Amendment Bill calling it an infringement of their religious freedom. The AIMPLB and other Muslim organisation have conveyed their concerns over the Bill to the JPC but they were not considered, said Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali, a senior executive member of AIMPLB and chairman Islamic Centre of India. Maulana Fazlul Manna, cleric of famous Tilewali Masjid in Lucknow, said the waqf was owned by Allah. No one else can own the Waqf properties. Now the future course of action would be decided by All India Muslim Personal Law Board. Similarly, in Bareilly, while Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza claimed that the Bill would not be accepted by the Muslims at any cost, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, chairman, All India Muslim Jamat came out in support of the Bill saying it would be in the favour of Muslims if passed by the Parliament. In Saharanpur, Maulana Mahmood Madni, chairman, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind dubbed the Bill as anti-constitutional. He said it was brought by Modi government following its majoritarian approach against the democratic values. On the other, in Varanasi, Supreme Court advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain welcomed the bill saying it would curtail several 'unchecked' powers previously held by Waqf Boards. Former chief of UP Minority Commission, Ashfaq Saifi said that he was getting life threats for supporting the Bill. I am being intimidated through social media and Whatsapp calls. My brother-in-law Zahid Saifi, who lives in Gunnaur in Sambhal, was attacked by unidentified persons, said Saifi. At the same time, Sumaiyya Rana, daughter of late poet Munnawar Rana, was house arrested as a preventive measure in Lucknow. Waqf amendment bill 'Brazen assault' on Constitution, says Sonia Gandhi

KOTA: An 18-year-old engineering aspirant, who was to appear for the JEE-Main on April 2, allegedly committed suicide by jumping in front of a moving train in Kota, police said on Monday. This is the tenth case of suspected suicide by a coaching student in Kota since January. Kanpur native Ujjawal Mishra was supposed to leave for Lucknow where he was allotted a centre to sit for the engineering entrance exam, Deputy Superintendent of Police (GRP-Kota) Shankar Lal. His father, Deepak Kumar Mishra, was to reach Kota on Monday to take him and his belongings back to UP, the police said. Ujjawal had been preparing for JEE at a coaching institute here and lived in a hostel in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar area, they said. On Sunday, the boy left his hostel room around 6.30 pm and reached Kota Railway Station, the DSP said. According to the train pilot, when the boy saw the train approaching, he laid down on the tracks and got run over around 7 pm. The pilot, who immediately informed the Government Railway Police about the incident, said he was unable to stop the train on time due to high speed. No suicide note was recovered from the boys possession. Ujjawal was an average student. He never shared that he was in trouble nor did he exhibit any sign of distress, said the grief-stricken father outside the mortuary after claiming his sons body. The DSP said on Sunday evening Ujjawal reportedly spoke to his classmate, who lives in a hostel opposite to his, and shared that he was not well prepared to crack the April 2 exam. Ujjawals father, an agricultural scientist, said that his son had been taking coaching for JEE-Mains and Advance at a coaching institute in Kota for the past two years. The engineering aspirants mother and younger brother live in Lucknow. The body was handed over to the father after a post-mortem on Monday noon, the police said, adding that a case has been registered in the matter. This is the tenth student suicide this year that took place in the city famous for being a coaching hub. Six coaching students -- five JEE, one NEET -- killed themselves in January alone. On March 25, 17-year-old medical aspirant from Bihar Harshraj Shankar allegedly hanged himself from an iron rod he had installed in his hostel room to exercise pull-ups. While the police found no suicide note from the spot, Sorry was found written on the book shelf rack. Seventeen coaching students died by suicide in Kota in 2024. In 2023, the number stood at 26.
