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
Vigilance inquiry launched against suspended Invest UP CEO as ED, I-T investigations continue
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh vigilance department has initiated a confidential probe against suspended IAS officer Abhishek Prakash, who previously served as the CEO of Invest UP, following allegations of corruption. The inquiry, launched on Wednesday on the orders of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, will scrutinise his entire tenure, examining his movable and immovable assets. Prakash, a 2006-batch IAS officer, was suspended on 20 March after accusations of irregularities in the evaluation process for a proposed solar manufacturing project. His suspension followed a complaint by an employee of a solar and renewable energy firm, who alleged that Prakash demanded a five per cent commission for project approval. The complainant claimed that the officer directed him to contact Nikant Jain, who allegedly facilitated deals between the IAS officer and investors. The complaint, addressed to Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, triggered immediate action, leading to Jain's arrest and Prakash's suspension. Following this, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a probe into the alleged corruption, and now the income tax department is also preparing to investigate his financial dealings. Senior officials from the home department stated that the vigilance inquiry would cover Prakashs tenure in various districts, including Lakhimpur Kheri, Bareilly, Hamirpur, Lucknow, and Aligarh, where he served as district magistrate. In the past, investigations were conducted into land acquisitions during his postings in Lakhimpur and Bareilly, but he was given a clean chit as the properties were registered under his relatives' names. However, this new probe will reassess all financial transactions related to properties acquired by Prakash and his family, comparing his legitimate income with his expenditures. Following the confidential probe, Prakash will be asked for clarification, and a report will be submitted to the government, a senior home department official said. The ED continues its parallel investigation following Jains arrest, while the income tax department is also gearing up for a financial probe.
Assam environmentalist flags refinery effluent discharge into Dhansiri river
GUWAHATI: An Assam-based environmentalist has raised concerns with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) over alleged hazardous effluent discharge from Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) into the Dhansiri river in Golaghat district, warning of severe ecological damage. In a letter to the CPCB Member Secretary, Apurba Ballav Goswami cited findings from a report by AGT Biosciences (OPC) Private Limited, which analysed a water sample reportedly collected from the NRLs effluent plant on 11 March this year. The results reveal exceedances of CPCB effluent discharge standards for petroleum oil refineries under the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, and subsequent guidelines, with severe implications for aquatic life and the long-term health of the Dhansiri river, the letter stated. According to Goswami, the analysis showed biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) at 18.0 mg/L, chemical oxygen demand (COD) at 142.0 mg/L, and oil and grease content at 11.5 mg/L, surpassing the CPCB limits of 15 mg/L, 125.0 mg/L, and 10 mg/L, respectively. These exceedances are not isolated incidents but signal a potential pattern of pollution that threatens the Dhansiri rivers biodiversity and the communities that depend on it. The elevated BOD indicates excessive organic matter, depleting dissolved oxygen levels critical for aquatic organisms, Goswami wrote. Fish species such as mahseer and catfish, abundant in Dhansiri, require oxygen levels above 4-6 mg/L to survive. A BOD of 18.0 mg/L risks creating hypoxic zones, leading to fish kills, suffocation of benthic invertebrates, and disruption of the rivers food web, he added. He added that the high COD level reflected a toxic mix of oxidisable pollutants from refinery processes, which could impair reproduction, stunt growth, and bioaccumulate in aquatic species, ultimately affecting predators such as birds and mammals. The oil and grease content of 11.5 mg/L, though seemingly modest, forms a surface sheen that blocks oxygen exchange, coats fish gills, and smothers aquatic plants, further compounding the ecological stress, he noted. Goswami urged the CPCB to conduct a detailed investigation into NRLs effluent treatment practices and compliance with pollution control standards as of March 2025. He also called for a cumulative assessment of the discharges impact on Dhansiris aquatic life and water quality, long-term monitoring of oxygen levels and biodiversity, and stringent corrective measures to ensure BOD, COD, and oil and grease levels remain within permissible limits. In response, NRL denied discharging effluents into Dhansiri. Generated effluents are treated in a modern effluent plant within the refinery and processed water is recycled for utilisation in the refinery itself. However, stormwater is occasionally discharged through a stormwater drain. Discharged stormwater quality is closely monitored for compliance with statutory norms. The discharged stormwater flows to several villages and finally into the Kalioni river, 6 km away, not Dhansiri. Dhansiri is 12 km away, an NRL spokesperson said. Following Goswamis letter, the refinery collected stormwater samples, and the results are expected in a few days. NRL is committed to ensuring continued compliance with pollution control and environmental protection norms, and it will actively cooperate with any agency, including CPCB, the spokesperson added.

Amid tight security, Eid-ul-Fitr namaz offered peacefully in UP's mosques
LUCKNOW: Namaz of Eid-ul-Fitr was completed peacefully in 30,000 mosques and 40,000 Eidgahs across Uttar Pradesh on Monday amid state-imposed curbs prohibiting the offering of Namaz on roads and public properties. Special vigilance was deployed in Sambhal, Aligarh, Lucknow, and Meerut districts; Namazis who thronged the Jama Masjid of Varanasi were forced to offer Namaz on the stairs of the mosque. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the state government deliberately stopped his fleet to delay his arrival at the Lucknow Eidgah. They kept my fleet held up for half an hour. When I asked for reasons behind the delay, the officer had no reply. Is it a dictatorship or some emergency? Today, the countrys constitution is at the greatest risk, said Akhilesh. Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak also reached Lucknow Eidgah and greet the Namazis. UP DGP Prashant Kumar said that the Namaz of Eid-ul-Fitr was offered peacefully in all the districts of the state abiding with guidelines issued by the administration. People did not offer Namaz at public places following the advice of the clerics and also the norms laid out by the state administration amid tight security arrangements, said the DGP. Mamata calls for unity, slams BJP's 'divisive politics' at Eid prayers In Sambhal, around a dozen companies of security forces were deployed. Over 1300 CCTV cameras were installed around mosques and the disputed Shahi Jama Masjid. The district administration kept a close vigil on the situation through drones. Meanwhile, SP MP from Sambhal, Zia-ur-Rehman Barq also reached Shahi Jama Masjid to offer namaz. On the ban on holding Namaz on road, the MP said that there should not be double standards in the country. On one hand, roads are barricaded to celebrate festivals, on the other, there is a huge problem if Namaz is offered for just 10 minutes on roads, said the SP MP. In Moradabad, a few young Namazis lodged their protest over intense checking while on way to Eidgah. They said that due to the delay, they could not offer the Namaz, and that the Eidgah management organised Namaz again so that they could offer it. In Meerut, two Muslim groups clashed after the namaz at Siwalkhas town and they engaged in heavy stone pelting and firing at each other leaving many injured. The clashes could be stopped after the police intervention, said the local sources. According to SP, Meerut Dehat, Rakesh Kumar Mishra said that five persons were held in connection with the trouble. In Saharanpur, Namazis were seen waving the flag of Palestine saying Muslims were suffering a lot in that nation. They also raised slogans against the Congress MP Imran Masood, saying that while Muslims were suffering in Palestine, the MP was busy celebrating Holi and playing with colours. Meanwhile, the Namazis were seen wearing black band at number of places in protests against the impending Waqf Amendment Bill . No Eid prayers to be offered at Srinagars Eidgah: Waqf board

Uttar Pradesh minister suggests Muslim men cover themselves with tarpaulin on Holi
ALIGARH: In controversial comments, BJP leader Raghuraj Singh has suggested that Muslim men cover themselves with tarpaulins if they want to avoid being sprinkled with colours when they step out for prayers on Holi this Friday. The festival of Holi this year coincides with the second Friday of the month of Ramzan. For the followers of Sanatan Dharma, the festival of Holi comes just once in a year and to expect them to not to play Holi at some restricted areas near mosques is not a feasible solution, Singh, who has been accorded the status of Minister of State in Uttar Pradesh Assembly, told reporters here on Monday night. Suggesting that Muslim men stepping out for Friday prayers cover themselves up, he said, Muslim women cover themselves with veils and very often mosques are covered by tarpaulins as a precautionary measure. The controversial remarks comes days after a circle officer in Sambhal kicked up a row by commenting that those who feel uncomfortable with Holi colours should stay indoors, as the festival comes only once a year, whereas Juma namaz (Friday prayers) takes place 52 times in a year. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had supported the remarks of the Sambhal police officer, saying the official may have spoken as a pehelwan, but what the Arjun awardee said was correct. Ahead of the festival, many mosques in Uttar Pradesh have shifted the Friday prayer timings on Holi. On the recent proposal by local BJP leader Ruby Asif Khan for construction of a Ram temple on the AMU campus, Singh said, I strongly support this proposal, and I am ready to make a hefty contribution for this cause. District authorities are taking all precautionary measures to ensure that the festival of Holi takes place in a peaceful manner.

Local Congress leader and former Aligarh MLA Vivek Bansal accused the BJP of deliberately stoking controversy over the celebration of Holi at AMU for political gain, calling it unfortunate. Bansal, who is also an alumnus of AMU, shared his personal experience, saying, We always used to celebrate Holi with friends at AMU and I never recollect any bitterness or opposition on this issue from anyone. Then why is the BJP engaging in provocative politics and trying to disturb the peace? He urged the BJP to refrain from inflaming tensions. On Thursday, Gyanendra Singh Chauhan, president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of Karni Sena, along with other members, marched to the district collectorate, submitting a memorandum addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The group demanded the PM's intervention and called for action against AMU officials, alleging that the university had intentionally denied Hindu students the right to hold the event on Holi. The issue began on Wednesday when student leader Akhil Kaushal submitted an application to AMU authorities requesting approval for a special Holi celebration at the Non-Resident Students' Centre (NRSC) on March 9. However, AMU officials have strongly denied these allegations. AMU Proctor Mohammad Waseem explained that like in previous years, Holi would be celebrated traditionally across the campus and there would be no special function for any particular group. Traditionally, all festivals, including Eid, Holi and Diwali, are celebrated across hostels. There is no precedent for holding a special function for any specific group. We do not consider it advisable to start a new precedent as it can lead to misuse of such permissions under any pretext, Waseem stated. He also emphasised that there had been no conflict or violence among students over the issue.

Officials stated that these products were available at lower prices compared to the open market while maintaining high quality. A staff member confirmed that additional stock of shoes and wooden artefacts was ordered due to high demand. Visitors were impressed by the affordability and craftsmanship of the items.

Earlier in the day, speaking at a thematic session on Unlocking Assams Energy Potential: Building Future-Ready Oil and Gas Infrastructure, Innovation, and Investment Aligned with Global Energy Transitions in the presence of Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri, Sarma said Assam has played a pioneering role in the forward march of Indias oil industry, which gained momentum in the late 19th century. Assam remains a key player in Indias energy sector, with vast hydrocarbon reserves and a skilled workforce, he said. He also said that the states oil and gas potential, extending to neighbouring regions, served as a stimulus for the development of the state. Highlighting Assams position in India's energy map, he said the state contains 12 per cent of the countrys natural gas reserves and produces half of Indias onshore natural gas. With four operational refineries and a combined refining capacity of 7.45 million metric tonnes (MMT), Assam ensures a consistent supply of energy to fuel the nation, the CM remarked. Assams retail network includes 1,180 outlets, and its annual LPG consumption stands at a significant 0.5 MMT. Major players in the petrochemical sector, such as Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited, Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited, and Numaligarh Refinery Limited, also contribute substantially to the states revenues, with royalties and taxes amounting to over Rs 11,700 crore annually. Stating that the horizon for Assams hydrocarbon sector is promising, Sarma said that by 2030, crude oil availability is projected to double.
