Member of erstwhile royal family Arvind Singh Mewar passes away
JAIPUR: Arvind Singh Mewar, the member of the erstwhile royal family of Mewar and the chairman of the HRH group of hotels died early Sunday in Udaipur after prolonged illness, family sources said. Mewar (81), a descendant of Rajput king Maharana Pratap, had been ill for a long time and was receiving treatment at his residence in Udaipur's City Palace. He is survived by his wife, Vijayraj Kumari, son Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, and daughters Bhargavi Kumari Mewar and Padmaja Kumari Parmar. His funeral will take place on Monday. As a mark of respect, the Udaipur City Palace will be closed for tourists on Sunday and Monday. He was the younger son of Bhagwant Singh Mewar and Sushila Kumari. His elder brother, Mahendra Singh Mewar, died in November last year. Arvind Singh Mewar was educated at the prestigious Mayo College, Ajmer and pursued hotel management courses in the UK and US. He received training in various international hotels. He lived and worked in Chicago for many years before building the HRH group of hotels as a professionally-managed corporate organisation. An avid cricketer, Mewar made his Ranji Trophy debut as Rajasthan's captain in 1945-46 and enjoyed a successful career spanning nearly two decades. In the 1970s, he also played polo before retiring from the sport due to health reasons. To showcase his commitment to professional polo in the UK, he instituted 'The Udaipur Cup' at the Cambridge and Newmarket Polo Club. In Udaipur, Mewar Polo was formed as a polo team with professional players who had been handpicked and specially trained for Indian tournaments. The Mewar Polo team lifted the prestigious President's Cup defeating the 61st Cavalry players in 1991. He was also an avid pilot and has done solo flights across India in a microlite aircraft. Mewar was the Chairman and Managing Trustee of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, Udaipur and also headed other trusts. Since the death of his father, Bhagwat Singh Mewar, there have been conflicts and issues between his descendants regarding the leadership of the house of Mewar and a property dispute. Bhagwant Singh willed his property through a trust to Arvind, named him his successor, and disinherited his eldest son, Mahendra Singh Mewar, because he had filed a lawsuit against him. After the death of his father in 1984, Arvind assumed the leadership of the house. At the same time, Mahendra Singh Mewar, being the elder son, was coronated as the titular head of the family. Mahendra Singh Mewar died in November last year and his son Vishvaraj Singh Mewar, also a BJP MLA, was made the titular head of the family. A controversy erupted when Vishvaraj Singh was not allowed to enter the City Palace of Udaipur by his cousin brother and Arvind Singh Mewar's son Lakshyaraj Singh to complete the rituals. However, the deadlock ended later after Vishwaraj Singh was allowed to enter the city Palace to visit 'dhuni' (sacred fire) to offer prayers to the deity.

Canadas new immigration rules: What are the reforms and how do they impact migrants and aspirants
Canada has long been a popular destination for international students, especially from India, and workers and visitors, thanks to its strong economy, world-class education system, and high standard of living. However, in recent years, Canada's immigration and visa policies have become increasingly stringent. These changes reflect the government's efforts to reduce illegal migration to the country, tighten border security, and ensure that visa holders comply with the intended purpose of their visit. Below is an explainer of Canadas new immigration regulations and the new challenges for the immigrants, especially Indian students: Visitor Visa and Entry to Canada Although Canadas immigration process begins with obtaining a visitor visa, student visa or work permit, which grants an individual permission to travel to Canada, with the reforms that gives more powers to visa and immigration officials, the primary travel document do not guarantee entry into the country. Once you arrive at a Canadian port of entry, an immigration officer will ask you several questions to verify your purpose of travel. The questions may include the ones like; What is the purpose of your visit?, How long do you plan to stay?, and Where will you be staying during your visit?. Though these are the routine questions addressed in the primary visa application, the goal of the queries after the arrival is to ensure that you are fully abiding by the terms of your visa. And any variation in your answers the immigration officers can revoke your visa and even deport immediately after reaching the port. These officers did not have the power to revoke visa traditionally. have the power to revoke a visa upon arrival, Prashant Ajmera, an Immigration lawyer, explains that recent changes in the regulations now give these officers the authority to cancel a visa at the point of entry if they suspect the visa holder is not complying with the rules. This could happen if a visitor is deemed to be overstaying, engaging in unauthorized employment, or otherwise violating the terms of their visa. For example, if a visitor visa holder returns to Canada after an extended stay in their home country and is found to be working illegally or violating other conditions of their visa, the officer may revoke their visa and send them back home. This can be particularly problematic for students. Ajmera highlights that if a student who has been studying in Canada returns home after a long stay, then comes back to Canada after an extended holiday, they may be questioned about their activities while abroad. If the officer determines that the student has been working full-time or engaging in activities outside the scope of their visa, they could face deportation. Ajmera further emphasises that if someone is not a regular studentfor example, a student who is not attending classes full-time but is instead working illegally they are at greater risk of having their visa revoked. In such cases, the officer may question whether the person is truly a student or simply using the student visa as a means to enter the country for other purposes. Hence, Ajmera advises that it is important for individuals to be aware of the rules surrounding their visas and to avoid any activities that may appear suspicious to immigration authorities. The Canadian government has also been making significant investments in border security. According to a January notification by Canadian government, it has allocated $1.3 billion to strengthen its border security measures. This includes increasing the number of border security personnel, utilising advanced surveillance technologies, and deploying drones and helicopters to monitor and enforce immigration laws. These efforts have been aimed at reducing illegal border crossings and ensuring the security of the countrys immigration system. For example, the introduction of an additional protocol in partnership with the US has led to a significant drop in illegal asylum claims. Since the protocols implementation in March 2023, the number of asylum claims has dropped from an average of 165 per day to just 12 per day by December 2024. In addition to border security measures, Canada has also implemented partial visa requirements for nationals of certain countries, such as Mexican nationals, to curb the high number of asylum claims from these regions. This policy has successfully reduced asylum claims from Mexican citizens by 97%. The Canadian government has also taken steps to eliminate the practice of flagpoling, where temporary residents would leave and re-enter Canada to obtain immigration services. This practice was found to strain border security resources and slow down cross-border traffic. After eliminating flagpoling, Canada observed an immediate 86% reduction in this practice, saving thousands of hours of work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. International students have been significantly affected by these regulatory changes. Ajmera stresses that students must be particularly cautious in adhering to the conditions of their visas, as violations can lead to serious consequences. One common violation is working beyond the allowed number of hours or working without authorization. Ajmera warns, If youre working in cash or not maintaining full-time enrollment, youre at risk. Students who are caught violating these rules could face deportation, even if they have been in Canada for a long time. Withdrawal of Student Direct Stream (SDS) Ajmera also points to the cancellation of the Student Direct Stream (SDS) as another significant change that has impacted international students. The SDS programme, which was designed to expedite the processing of study permits for students from certain countries, including India, China, and the Philippines, has now been closed. This has made it harder for students to get their study permits approved quickly, creating uncertainty for prospective students who were hoping to enter Canada without delays. Changes in Border Security and Immigration Measures The Canadian government has also increased scrutiny of educational institutions to ensure that they are legitimate and that they are not being exploited by fraudulent agents. Ajmera highlights how some agents in India have been known to sell fake admission letters to students, often promising them easy entry into Canada through subpar institutions. These agents sometimes partner with schools offering diploma or certificate courses at remote campuses that lack the facilities students expect. Ajmera explains that while these institutions are technically licensed, they often offer poor-quality education are exploited by fraudsters. As a result, the Canadian government has started verifying the status of educational institutions more rigorously to prevent such exploitation. In response to these issues, Canadian immigration officials have begun cracking down on fraudulent practices, ensuring that only genuine educational institutions are allowed to accept international students. This has been part of the broader effort to address systemic issues in Canadas immigration system and make sure that the process is fair for all applicants. International Students and Changing Regulations Real-life experiences from international students further illustrate the challenges posed by these changing regulations. Jewel Jacob, a 22-year-old student from India, reflects on the increasing difficulty of obtaining a visa to Canada: Many people are entering here as illegal immigrants. I personally think it's not the best for a student who completed his 12th or degree to come to Canada right now. Aishwarya, a student and also a part-time worker as a front-line cook with a proper work permit, expresses her gratitude for her ability to work legally, while acknowledging the difficulties faced by other students: There are so many people who work on cash... she says adding that, I had a friend who got deported because she was working illegally on cash in a restaurant. Another student who doesn't want to be identified, and currently in her final year of a business degree, talks about the uncertainty caused by the cancellation of the Student Direct Stream and the anxiety surrounding study permit extensions. These experiences highlight the growing concerns of international students as they navigate the increasingly complex immigration landscape in Canada. As Prashant Ajmera warns, Its crucial to maintain full-time enrollment, comply with the conditions of your visa, and ensure youre following the regulations to avoid any issues. For international students, it is now more important than ever to stay informed about the latest immigration regulations and ensure that they adhere to all the necessary requirements to avoid any complications with their visa status. Canadas immigration and visa regulations are evolving rapidly, and prospective immigrants especially students must stay vigilant to avoid falling foul of the increasingly stringent rules. By adhering to the conditions of their visas, students can continue to enjoy the benefits of studying and working in Canada without facing unnecessary risks or complications.

Police arrest seven as minors blackmailed, sexually exploited in Rajasthan's Beawar
JAIPUR: Four to five minor girls have been sexually exploited in Vijay Nagar town in Rajasthans Beawar district, according to sources. According to the local police, a group of miscreants trapped and blackmailed girls from a private school, subjecting them to rape and allegedly even tried to force them into conversion. The Beawar police have arrested seven culprits and detained two other offenders who are themselves minors in this sordid case. Family members of the victims complained to the police and shared details that a gang was behind this heinous racket. The criminals targeted a girl by assaulting and blackmailing her and coerced her into befriending other schoolgirls and systematically entrapping multiple victims. The minor girls were lured through gifts of Chinese mobile phones and were even forced to make their underage friends chat with the offenders who would sexually exploit them. The victims on Monday revealed that the culprits, all labourers and belonging to one community, had taken obscene photos and videos of the girls and were blackmailing them. The victims have also alleged that the criminals were even pressurising them to recite Kalma, keep Rozas or fasts, and adopt Islam. The case in the Vijay Nagar police station area has sparked public outrage with angry residents surrounding the local police station, demanding strong and swift action. As people gheraoed the police station, demanding the arrest of the accused, additional cops were summoned from four nearby police stations. The situation in the town remains tense as public anger is mounting. The accused have been identified as Rihan Mohammad (20), Sohail Mansuri (19), Shoaib (20), Arman Pathan (19), and Sahil Qureshi (19) who are all from Vijaynagar and close by areas. Two juvenile offenders have also been detained by the local police. The incident has triggered a political storm, drawing comparisons to a similar case in Ajmer 33 years ago, where schoolgirls were victimized through vulgar pictures and then subjected to rape and blackmail.

JAIPUR: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the North-Western Railway (NWR) is set to deploy psychologists to help employees cope with increasing work pressure and stress. This move makes NWR the first railway zone in the country to introduce such a program. Under the initiative, psychologists will interact with employees and provide counselling sessions every 15 days. According to railway sources, nearly 12,000 posts are currently vacant in the NWR, including 230 vacancies in the headquarters alone. This acute shortage of staff has significantly increased the workload on existing employees. Over the past two years, around 62 officers and employees from various departmentsincluding personnel, operations, commercial, and accountshave opted for voluntary retirement (VRS) due to stress. To counter this growing issue, psychologists are being appointed to assist officers and employees in managing their mental well-being. APO/T Amritlal Meena of the Railway Headquarters has issued an order regarding the deployment of psychologists. As per the order, psychologists will be stationed at key locations, including the headquarters in Jaipur, the DRM offices in Ajmer, Bikaner, and Jodhpur, as well as the Ajmer Workshop. These professionals will be hired on a contract basis. Notably, this initiative is being implemented on the recommendation of General Manager Amitabh. Instead of abolishing existing vacant Level-5 posts, these positions will be reallocated for the appointment of psychologists. Employees Union General Secretary Mukesh Mathur has praised the move, stating that the NWR is setting a precedent by prioritizing employee mental health. The decision to introduce psychologists comes in the wake of the recent suicide of Chief OS Narsilal Meena. According to railway sources, Meena had been struggling with work pressure and the inability to take leave for a long time. However, railway authorities have not officially confirmed any direct link between work stress and his death. Speaking on the matter, the Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway Shashi said, Workload will always be there, but employees should not feel stressed in the office environment. If any employee is facing personal issues affecting their mental health, counsellors will help address them. We will begin this initiative from the headquarters and four divisions, gradually expanding further. Employees from all departments will be mapped and counselled in batches. He further assured that the recruitment process for vacant positions is ongoing and that efforts are being made to fill them as soon as possible. For the first time, we are introducing psychologists and counselors at the headquarters and division levels. They will regularly interact with railway employees to identify any psychological issues or mental health concerns. The goal is to provide appropriate solutions to help employees overcome stress, anxiety, and depression. The official added, While workload cannot be eliminated, we want to ensure that employees do not feel overwhelmed due to work or personal issues. The North-Western Railway already has a positive work environment, and we aim to make it even more supportive and stress-free. With this initiative, the NWR is taking a progressive step toward addressing employee well-being, setting an example for other railway zones across the country.

Huge rush to Ajmer Dargah, locals step in as all hotel rooms booked
JAIPUR: Amid the controversy over the claims that the Ajmer Dargah is built over a Hindu temple, a record number of pilgrims attended the 813th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. The turnout this year was double that of the previous year, dargah committee sources said. The rituals of Bade Kul and Jumme ki Namaz were observed with fervor. Pilgrims from many countries, including 89 from Pakistan, thronged the dargah to seek the blessings of the Sufi saint. The rooms of over 6,000 hotels in Ajmer proved insufficient for the pilgrims. Locals opened their homes as makeshift guesthouses to accommodate the devotees. The Anjuman Committee revealed that while no official record of chaadar offerings is maintained, an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 chaadar were presented daily during the Urs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma, and Delhi former CM Arvind Kejriwal also sent chaadar. A delegation of pilgrims from Pakistan, led by second Secretary of the Pakistan high commission Tariq Masroof, offered a chaadar on behalf of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. The delegation later returned to Pakistan via a special train under tight security. Speaking to the media, one pilgrim expressed prayers for peace and prosperity. Amid claims of temple inside Ajmer Dargah, PM Modi presents 'chadar' to Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti's shrine We all came to pray for peace and brotherhood. May Allah bless everyone, fill everyones bags, and bring peace to both India and Pakistan, he said. Syed Sarwar Chishti, Secretary of the Dargahs Anjuman Committee, dismissed concerns about the controversys impact, stating that pilgrim numbers only increased. This year, we have witnessed a larger turnout than before, he said. Traditionally, the crowds begin to thin after the Chhathi ritual, but this year, even after the Bade Kul ceremony, hotels remained fully booked, and pilgrims continued to arrive. The last time such a large crowd was witnessed was during the 786th Urs. On September 25, 2024, Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta filed a petition claiming that the dargah site was originally a Sankatmochan Mahadev temple. The petition cited a 114-year-old book, Ajmer Historical and Descriptive, by retired judge Harbilas Sarda. A chapter of the book asserts that a Lord Shiva temple once stood at the dargahs location.
Amidst controversy over Ajmer Dargah, 813th Urs celebrated with grandeur
JAIPUR: Amid the controversy claiming that the Ajmer Dargah was built over a Hindu temple, the 813th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti was celebrated with great fervor and devotion. The rituals of Bade Kul and Jumme ki Namaz on Friday attracted a record-breaking number of pilgrims. Despite the controversy, the turnout this year was reportedly double that of the previous year. Pilgrims from around the globe, including 89 people from Pakistan, thronged the dargah to seek the blessings of the Sufi saint. The influx was so overwhelming that when the rooms in over 6,000 hotels in Ajmer proved insufficient, locals opened their homes as makeshift guest houses to accommodate the devotees. The Anjuman Committee revealed that while no official record of chaadar offerings is maintained, an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 chaadars were presented daily during the Urs. Notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, also sent chaadars as a mark of respect. A delegation of pilgrims from Pakistan, led by the Second Secretary of the Pakistan High Commission, Tariq Masroof, offered a chaadar on behalf of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

Aakar Patel | Places of Worship Act, 1991: What stand will Centre take at SC hearing?
The Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991 is a law to prohibit conversion of any place of worship and to provide for the maintenance of the religious character of any place of worship as it existed on the 15th day of August, 1947. This is an unusually phrased law which says that temples, mosques, churches, stupas, gurdwaras and so on will remain as they were in 1947. Meaning that the religion that was practised in that structure would continue to be practised. Why was it legislated? To prevent more incidents like the Babri Masjid demolition. It could not be more clear in phrasing or in intent. However, laws have rarely stopped things from happening in India, even in the courts. In 2019, after the Supreme Courts verdict handing over the Babri Masjid site to a temple, a petition was taken up in an Uttar Pradesh court regarding the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi. The court directed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a survey, though historians have clearly recorded that the mosque was built over an existing temple razed by Aurangzeb in 1669. The Places of Worship Act was meant to avoid precisely such medieval history from becoming current affairs. The matter went to the Supreme Court in 2022. Here, D.Y. Chandrachud, who had authored the Babri judgment, made an observation that would prove to be devastating. He said that the ascertainment of the religious character of a place was not prohibited by the Places of Worship Act. Presumably meaning that people were free to bring to court suits to that effect. He allowed the continuing of the survey, which came to be centred around a fountain which the Hindu side claimed was a shivling. In 2023, the Varanasi district court asked the ASI to ascertain whether the mosque was constructed over a pre-existing structure of a Hindu temple. Predictably, these events have led to a number of judges in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and elsewhere admitting petitions that sought to ascertain the religious character of mosques built in medieval India and ordering surveys. Demands for surveys in places include the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra mosque in Ajmer, built in 1199 by Qutubuddin Aibak (who also built the Qutab Minar in Delhi) and the Ajmer Dargah of Moinuddin Chishti, who died in 1236. The mosque is already an ASI-protected site for its historical value, but was now subject to demands from the BJPs Speaker in the state Assembly who wanted an ASI survey to find out if the claim was true that it had been a Sanskrit college earlier. The dispute over Lucknows largest mosque, Teelewali Masjid, was centred around a claim that it was built by Shah Jahans governor over a platform named after Lakshman. In Badaun the Jama Masjid Shamsi, built under Iltutmish (who also died in 1236) was claimed by the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha. The Atala Masjid in Jaunpur is, according to the governments tourism website, the ideal for the construction of the other mosques of Jaunpur. A group named Swaraj Vahini Association has moved the court demanding the right to worship inside it. In March 2024, the 13th century Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Madhya Pradeshs Dhar district became the latest site for a scientific survey by the Archaeological Survey of India after an order from the Madhya Pradesh high court. In November last year, a court in western UP heard a petition on the Sambhal Jama Masjid. The court ordered a survey of the mosque premises, which took place on the same day. The team returned for a second visit early on a Sunday and a rumour spread that it was digging under the mosque. A crowd of protesters gathered there and the police shot dead five of them. We can attribute this tragedy directly to that remark made in the court. The really unusual thing is that those remarks made in the Supreme Court have no binding authority, as experts have noted. Those words have not been recorded in the order and exist merely because they were reported at the moment they were uttered. The Supreme Court did not stay or undo the Places of Worship Act. It remains in force and unless a structure has been actively used by multiple faiths on August 15, 1947, it cannot be brought to court in a dispute. And yet, as we can see, the number of cases is rising with structures that are seven centuries old being claimed as property disputes. For those who like the writer were adults when the Ayodhya dispute began to bubble, and then burst, and then remain as the core issue of politics for three decades, these events are alarming. Too much national energy and blood has been expended over that. Last month, the Supreme Court stopped all courts across the country from registering new suits. It also said no interim or final orders could be passed in the pending suits till it decided on the validity of the Places of Worship Act. The court will hear the matter again soon, when we may learn what the Narendra Modi governments position on the law is. All governments are expected to defend the laws, but it is unclear what the stand of this government is, headed by the party that benefited from the movement that led to the legislation of the Places of Worship Act.

Sub Inspector exam paper leak case: 9 more trainee SIs suspended in Rajasthan
JAIPUR:In a significant development in the Sub Inspector 2021 paper leak case, nine more trainee Sub-Inspectors (SIs) have been suspended, bringing the total number of suspended officers to 20. The SOG has arrested 45 trainee SIs in connection with the paper leak case. Of these, 25 accused have been granted bail. The suspensions follow a series of actions initiated by the authorities. On December 31, 2024, the Police Headquarters issued orders for field training for trainee SIs. However, these orders were seen as an attempt to facilitate the appointment of the accused officers. The new suspension orders have effectively reversed the situation. On Sunday, Bikaner Range Inspector General (IG) Omprakash suspended eight trainee SIs, including Karanpal Godara, Jairam, Manish Beniwal, Shravan Kumar, Manisha, Ankita Godara, Manju Vishnoi, and Manju Devi. Of these, Manju Vishnoi was allotted Bikaner, Manju Devi Hanumangarh, and the rest were assigned to Sri Ganganagar district. Additionally, Ajmer Range IG Omprakash suspended one trainee SI, Subhash Vishnoi. This follows the suspension of 11 trainee SIs from the Jaipur and Udaipur ranges on January 3, 2025. All the suspended officers had been sent to their respective districts on December 31, 2024, despite being under investigation. According to the Rajasthan Civil Service (Classification, Control, and Appeal) Rules, 1958, any government employee taken into police custody for more than 48 hours is subject to suspension. The current actions are based on this regulation, as all the accused had been in custody. Six individuals who were selected in the recruitment process but did not join have also been arrested. In May, the Police Headquarters directed all districts and ranges to initiate departmental action against the accused.The Police Headquarters decision to send the accused SIs for field training has been legally challenged in the High Court. A hearing on this matter is scheduled for January 6, 2025. Meanwhile, BJP Minister Kirodi Lal Meena, who had been vocal about cancelling the Sub Inspector-2021 recruitment process, has recently refrained from making further statements. On Sunday, he met BJP state president Madan Rathore at the partys state office but avoided questions regarding the recruitments cancellation. When asked if the governments recent actions, including the suspension of SIs on bail, were influenced by his protests, Meena declined to comment. His sudden silence has sparked speculation about possible instructions from the partys central leadership to avoid conflicting with the governments stance. Notably, Meena recently met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi. On December 30, 2024, Meena had publicly demanded the cancellation of the recruitment process and criticized the SOGs handling of the investigation. As the High Court prepares to hear the case, the outcome could have significant implications for the accused officers and the future of the recruitment process. The evolving political and legal landscape surrounding the Sub Inspector-2021 paper leak case continues to draw attention, with further developments anticipated in the coming days.
