In UP, barcodes to unravel history and significance of religious and historical hotspots

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 15 (IANS) For the thousands of tourists visiting various religious and historical tourism sites in Uttar Pradesh, they will no longer be needed to rely on the guides or locals for getting a peek into the history, archaeological significance, and beliefs associated with these tourist places. The state government has introduced a system of barcodes and plaques at various religious sites, where a simple scan by your smartphone will provide the pilgrims with 360 degree understanding of the whole religious spot, along with its historical context as well as significance. A total of 575 projects have been approved for the financial year and installation of plaques and barcodes has been completed at 14 sites. Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh said that this system is being implemented to provide authentic and concise information to devotees and tourists about sites of religious, ancient, and historical importance. He noted that the plaques display essential information covering the site's archaeological and historical significance as well as associated religious beliefs. The state government's initiative aims not merely to identify these religious sites but to develop them into new hubs of information and tourism. A visitor to an ancient temple, ashram, or religious site can simply scan the installed barcode to easily learn about the history, significance, and beliefs linked to that location. This will also help connect the younger generation with local religious and cultural heritage. Key sites where the installation of plaques and barcodes has been completed include Nardanand Rishi Ashram (Mainpuri), Samaur Babadham (Firozabad), Vankhandeshwar Temple (Ukhrand), Chyavan Rishi Ashram (Mainpuri), and Radhakrishnan Temple (Firozabad). Few others are Kalyani Mata Temple, Prayagraj; Shri Durvasa Ashram, Prayagraj; Shulkanteshwar Mahadev Temple, Prayagraj; and Shri Dashashwamedh Temple, Prayagraj. Additionally, the installation of information plaques and barcodes has been completed at Paglanand Ashram, Prayagraj; Kamanhiya Baba Temple, Ayodhya; Prachin Shivala Temple, Ayodhya; Prachin Jwaladevi Temple, Suchitaganj-Sohawal (Ayodhya); and Gehnag Baba Temple, Ayodhya. Many believe that this initiative has potential to provide new identity to smaller and relatively lesser-known sitesplaces that possess local historical and religious significance but often lack widespread public awareness. This system also marks a step towards linking Uttar Pradesh's religious and cultural heritage with digital information. As further projects are completed, more religious and historical sites across the state will be integrated into this facility.

Why 'Ramayana

Highlights A.R. Rahman gives Jai Jai Ram a fresh take on the traditional bhajan Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal lend their voices to the song Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi feature as Rama and Sita The song offers a glimpse into their relationship in Ramayana Ramayana has given audiences their first taste of its music with Jai Jai Ram , a new take on the traditional Jai Siya Ram bhajan. Composed by A.R. Rahman and sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, the song accompanies Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi as Rama and Sita , offering a glimpse at the emotional and romantic side of Nitesh Tiwaris ambitious two-part epic. The song has quickly become a talking point, with listeners praising the vocals, composition and the way the familiar devotional sound has been reimagined for the big screen. A familiar bhajan gets a new sound Jai Jai Ram draws from the long-standing tradition of devotional songs dedicated to Lord Rama, but Rahman gives it a contemporary cinematic treatment. Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal bring their voices to the track, while the lyrics have been written by Dr Kumar Vishwas. Rather than functioning purely as a devotional sequence, the song is closely tied to Rama and Sitas relationship. The video shows their wedding, their journey through Ayodhya and Rama displaying his abilities as a warrior. The combination gives the song a broader role in the film, introducing both the romance and the larger world of the epic. Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi offer a glimpse of Rama and Sita The music video gives audiences more footage of Kapoor and Pallavi in their roles as Rama and Sita. One of the most striking moments shows Rama placing a flower in Sitas hair, while another sequence features the couple travelling through Ayodhya in a chariot as people shower them with flower petals. The makers had also released a new poster featuring the pair around the time of the song's release, showing a softer side to their relationship. - YouTube youtu.be The song arrives ahead of a huge cinematic spectacle Jai Jai Ram arrives after the film's promotional material began revealing the scale of Tiwari's adaptation. The trailer introduces Yash as Ravana, along with Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Rakul Preet Singh as Shurpanakha and Vivek Oberoi as Vidyutjihva. Sunny Deol, who plays Hanuman, has also been cast in the film but does not appear in the trailer. Arun Govil, who famously played Rama in the classic Indian television series Ramayan , appears as King Dasharatha. The film is being made in two parts, with the first scheduled for a worldwide release in October 2026 ahead of Diwali and the second planned for Diwali 2027. Producer Namit Malhotra has said the combined budget for both films will be around 370 million, making Ramayana one of the most ambitious Indian productions ever mounted. With Jai Jai Ram , audiences have now had their first substantial look at how the film plans to balance its mythology, romance and spectacle.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 14 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu on Monday lauded the Indian women's cricket team for their Asia Cup win, stating that the players are a source of great inspiration for India's youth, while adding that they have made the country proud. India won the Women's Asia Cup for a record-extending eighth time, defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the 2026 Asia Cup final on Sunday. In a post on X, President Murmu said, My heartiest congratulations to all the members of Team India on winning Women's T20 Asia Cup Championship 2026. They played superbly as a team throughout the tournament, winning all the matches. They have done the country proud. They are a source of great inspiration for our youth, especially our daughters.

India posted a strong total of 183/5, with Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana setting things up with a record 129-run stand for the opening wicket and scoring strong half-centuries.

Mandhana made a composed 59 from 39 balls, but Sri Lanka made a strong comeback in the latter half of the innings. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur struggled at No.3, falling for 14 before Richa Ghosh was also removed for 17, while G Kamalini, playing her first match of the tournament, made a five-ball 15 to give the Women in Blue a strong finish.

Women's Asia Cup: India Beat Sri Lanka By 72 Runs To Win Record-extending Eighth Title

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India lifted the Women's Asia Cup trophy for a record-extending eighth time by defeating Sri Lanka in the 2026 Asia Cup final here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium by 72 runs on Sunday.

Sri Lanka were found wanting in their top-order performances, and it was not a big improvement over their previous outings, as Imesha Dulani was dismissed in the first over by Kranti Gaud. India kept the lid on Sri Lanka batters as captain Chamari Athapaththu was not being let free to score. They were kept at 38/1 at the end of the powerplay. Athapaththu showed her muscles when she saw leg-spinner Prema Rawat coming in for her first over in the ninth over. She hit her for a six and four as Sri Lanka dreamt with their captain around. However, Deepti hit the body blow when she got Athapaththu stumped out in the 10th over and then doubled the blow when she bowled Vishmi Gunaratne in the same over. The two wickets meant Sri Lanka were already staring down the barrel by the end of the 10th over. With 121 needed off 60 balls, India did not let the 2024 champions breathe easy as Shree Charani got Harshitha Samarawickrama for nine to become India's leading T20I wicket-taker of the year.

Women's Asia Cup Final: Deepti credits Shafali, Mandhana for strong total

Digital Desk | Dubai, Sep 13 (IANS) India all-rounder Deepti Sharma heaped praise on the record 129-run stand between openers Shafali Verma and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana for providing the platform for the Women in Blue to post a strong total of 183/5 in the Asia Cup 2026 final against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Deepti highlighted that the Indian team had hoped to get to 180-190, as the pitch in Dubai was better to bat on in the final. We were looking for 180 or 190, because it's a good wicket to bat on. Today it's a slightly better pitch, and credit goes to both the openers, how they played in the first six overs, and how they accelerated in the first 10 overs. It's good to see, Deepti told broadcasters after the first innings. Deepti highlighted that the first few overs in the second innings will be crucial and India will want a few wickets in the powerplay to stake their claim to defend the target. It's quite important. We are looking for a few wickets in the early stage. That's going to (give) the momentum, she said, referring to how crucial the powerplay would be for India. Deepti further opined that the ball is unlikely to stick into the surface, with this being a better surface for the willow-holders. As I said, today is a different wicket to bat on, but we have a good bowling side. I'm looking forward to it. (How does the support from the massive crowd feel?) It's great whenever the fans come and support. It brings the energy, the all-rounder concluded. Shafali (68 from 39 balls) smashed the fastest fifty in the history of the Asia Cup as she got to her milestone in just 24 balls to give the Women in Blue a strong platform along with Mandhana, who made a composed 59 from 39 deliveries. The two put up a 129-run stand for the opening wicket as India bossed the first half of the innings after opting to bat first. However, Sri Lanka made a comeback in the later part of the innings with Chamari Athapaththu, Mithali Ayodhya and Chamudi Praboda getting wickets, while the Women in Blue lost Mandhana and Deepti to run-outs. The 129-run stand is now the highest in a final of a Women's T20 tournament, going past the previous highest of 120, put up by Hayley Matthews and Stafanie Taylor in the 2016 Women's T20 World Cup 2016 win against Australia. It is also the highest in the Women's T20 Asia Cup for any wicket, surpassing the 128-run stand by Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma, which came against the UAE in 2022. India went down from 129/0 to 167/5 as Kamalini gave the final bit of fireworks. She made 15 from five balls and hit a four and a six on the final two balls of the innings as India took 16 off the final over to finish with a strong total in the final.

Women's Asia Cup: Kamalini Replaces Pratika As India Opt To Bat Against Sri Lanka In Final

Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first against Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 final here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. India made a change to their XI for the first time this tournament after Kaur won her maiden toss in the 2026 Asia Cup as the Women in Blue brought in G Kamalini for Pratika Rawal. This will be Kamalini's as she got her first game of the tournament and only her second T20I for India. India and Sri Lanka are both undefeated in the ongoing tournament, with the Women in Blue having looked far more dominant than Sri Lanka. India have tamed every other opponent with superb all-round performance, while Sri Lanka have been found wanting in the batting department. Their top-order batters have not been at the top of their game, including captain Chamari Athapaththu, who has only 63 runs from four innings. Meanwhile, India have looked far more dominant in all the departments, with Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana doing the bulk of the scoring. Deepti Sharma and Shree Charani have been highly penetrative with the ball, with 11 and eight wickets, respectively. India are looking for a record-extending eighth Asia Cup title after winning four continental tournaments in the ODI format and three in T20Is. The Women in Blue have a very strong record against Sri Lanka and swept them in a five-match T20I series last year in December. They have also won nine of their previous 10 T20Is against Sri Lanka, but their only defeat came in the 2024 Asia Cup final in Dambulla. Yeah, we are going to bat first today. I feel it's a very important game for us, and I think having a score on the board is always positive. That is the reason we decided as a group that we'll bat first, India captain Kaur said at the toss. Every final is very important, and at the same time, there is a lot of pressure. I think today's game is about playing good cricket, staying in the moment and giving your best. We do have one change. Pratika is resting today; Kamini is back. She has a lot of ability, and hopefully she'll enjoy herself today. We are not keeping a specific target in mind. It's all about using the batting power-play and then see how much we can get, she added. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have also made a change to their XI for the final with Vishmi Gunaratne coming in for Sanjana Kavindi. If we won the toss, definitely we would have bowl first, because we back our skills. Last few games we have bowled really good. Actually, it's a really good thing for me as well as the team. As a country, we need to improve our cricket all the time. So we have good players. We will stick with our plans and we'll try to play positive cricket in the middle. We are going with one change: Vishmi Gunaratne is playing in place of Sanjana Kavindi. I felt we needed some experience. (The) first six overs (are) very crucial. So if we can get early (wickets), I think (there will be) pressure on them, Sri Lankan skipper Athapaththu said at the toss.

As Trinamool factions battle for official recognition before upcoming bypolls, questions arise on Mamata contesting again

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Trinamool Congress founder Mamata Banerjees possible return as a member of the West Bengal Assembly has continued to dominate discussions, even as the jury has yet to decide which of the two current factions is the real party. The Election Commission on Saturday gave time to both groups, one under Mamata Banerjee -- often referred to as the Kalighat Trinamool from her home address and the other, led by former Left leader Ritabrata Banerjee, to put forward their respective claims for the original name and party symbol. Both are seeking the poll bodys recognition before by-elections to two Assembly seats in West Bengal -- left vacant after the respective winning candidates resigned -- are held next month. As per a recent Election Commission communique, the repoll will be held on October 6, with the last date for making nominations being Wednesday, just four days hence. While the Rejinagar Assembly Constituency was left vacant after the controversial Babri Mosque replica maker Humayun Kabir resigned, retaining his Naoda seat, Nandigram was vacated by current Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari for Bhabanipur, where he defeated his predecessor and once-mentor Mamata Banerjee. Incidentally, Mamata Banerjee lost to him from Nandigram in 2021 and had to subsequently seek re-election from Bhabanipur to become Chief Minister for the third successive term. Kabir has already extended an invitation to her to contest from Rejinagar, asserting that he can ensure her victory from the seat. He was earlier with the Trinamool Congress, but was suspended following his contentious decision to build a mosque modelled on Ayodhya's Babri Masjid at Rejinagar in West Bengals Murshidabad district. He went on to launch the Aam Janata Unnayan Party and contested from two seats simultaneously. In December last year, four months before the Assembly elections, he laid the foundation stone for the replica. Meanwhile, members of the Ritabrata faction have insisted that they would not field a candidate in Nandigram if Mamata Banerjee chose to contest herself. Ritabrata Banerjee, now the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, himself endorsed this, though quipping that a win would mean that she could enter the state legislature only through repolls. He was referring to her two successive losses, with a repoll ensuring her entry in the earlier case. Mamata Banerjee, or her camp, has yet to conclusively issue a statement on her contesting the upcoming by-elections. It is, however, almost certain that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will hold an edge in Nandigram in the absence of a candidate from the Ritabrata faction. His faction can split anti-Mamata Banerjee votes, where those still not supporting the BJP would have an option to exercise their franchise against the previous Trinamool regime. As of now, the faction under the feisty former Chief Minister stands reportedly somewhat jaded following this years election loss, subsequent crossing over by several leaders, MPs, and MLAs, and arrests or legal proceedings initiated against many, including Mamata Banerjees nephew and her partys General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

Womens Asia Cup: When And Where To Watch IND Vs SL Final, Know All Details

T20 Asia Cup: Indias bid for an eighth Womens T20 Asia Cup title will face a stern examination from Sri Lanka when the two unbeaten sides meet in Sundays final at the Dubai International Stadium. India's standout performers throughout the tournament have been Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma. Shafali has scored 168 runs and tops the rankings, with two fifties demonstrating her consistent performance at the top of the order. Her resilience in difficult batting conditions has been especially important for India. Mandhanas 154 runs include a century, but her two low scores mean India will be keen for greater consistency from their batting group in the final. The middle order has produced starts without regularly converting them into major scores, while the teams boundary-hitting has also lacked consistency. Deepti, meanwhile, has provided India with control and breakthroughs. Her 11 wickets make her the joint-leading wicket-taker alongside Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu. She has contributed with the bat too, scoring 13 off six deliveries in the semifinal against Bangladesh to help India finish strongly. Sri Lanka will take heart from their semifinal fightback against Pakistan. Four wickets down for 33 while chasing 131, they could easily have lost their way. Instead, Harshitha Samarawickramas 36 and Kavisha Dilharis 33 rebuilt the innings before Nilakshika Silva and Kaushini Nuthyangana completed the chase. That resilience could be vital against India, especially given Sri Lankas recent history in this fixture. Athapaththu and Harshitha were instrumental in the 2024 final, where Sri Lanka defeated India by eight wickets after both batters made half-centuries. India, however, will know that they have another area to fix before the title clash: their fielding. Nine catches have been dropped across their four matches two against Thailand, three against Pakistan and four in the semifinal against Bangladesh. Against a Sri Lankan team that has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to recover from difficult positions, another lapse could prove costly. The final therefore brings together Indias tournament-leading batting and spin resources with a Sri Lankan side whose greatest strength has been its refusal to surrender under pressure.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's years in public service, from Chief Minister of Gujarat to the Head of State, calling it a glimpse of new India. Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister said the government and the BJP's state unit has prepared a list of programmes that will be undertaken for a month, from PM Modi's birthday on September 17, till marking the completion of his 25 years in public service on October 7, being celebrated as 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. October 7 is when PM Modi will complete 25 years in governance, including his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister and as the Prime Minister of the country. So the party and the govt has prepared a list of programmes to celebrate these glorious years, CM Yogi said. He referred to PM Modi's years in public service as a vision that has led to successful implementation of all schemes across various fields, till the last person is served. Gujarat was like any other state before 2001, which faced drought, connectivity and drinking water issues and other challenges. PM Modi, during his tenure as the Chief Minister, ensured the availability of proper drinking water till the last village in the state. During his 13 years of tenure, he transformed Gujarat into a welfare state, a centre of attraction for the world, which is today considered as a model for infrastructure and technology, he said. CM Yogi termed PM Modi's tenure since 2014, as a glimpse of new India with visions of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat', 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Viksit Bharat'. For this, he ensured the construction of world-class infrastructure, welfare schemes, produced a model that established India from 'Fragile Five' to 'Top Five' economies of the world, he stated. The Chief Minister asserted that under PM Modi's leadership, India has established itself as a nation that is capable of providing leadership to the world. More than three dozen countries have conferred their highest honour on PM Modi. Moreover, the G20 leaders have hailed the successful completion of the Summit and its related events in the country, under the Prime Minister's leadership, he said. Further, he lashed out at the then regime for opposing the consecration ceremony of the Somnath Temple, accusing it of insulting India's heritage and seeding the mindset of slavery among people. Only after 2014, India could come out of the mindset of slavery and move towards the vision of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat', he said while invoking the construction of Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Ayodhya's Ram Temple and organisation of the Mahakumbh Mela. He also praised PM Modi's leadership towards advancement of railway infrastructure, including electrification, trains like 'Namo Bharat', 'Amrit Bharat' and construction of new stations. The construction of waterways, ports, airports, highways, and public transport, etc, has become the backbone of India's development, he added. He further said: During the Congress regime only one AIIMS was built, Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji took it to seven, while PM Modi took its number to 23. While the vaccine for encephalitis took around 100 years to reach India, the Covid vaccine was produced here itself within nine months, CM Yogi added. Detailing the list of programmes, the UP Chief Minister said: Apart from distribution of fruits at hospitals on the morning of September 17, blood donation camps will be organised. A 'yatra' is also being organised under which holy water from Vadnagar in Gujarat will be brought to Kashi, while holy water from 10 separate rivers will be taken from Kashi to Vadnagar. It will start from September 17 and reach its destination on October 7. The participants will also interact will the public every day during the course of the 'yatra'.

Womens Asia Cup: India, Sri Lanka Face Off In Yet Another Summit Clash (preview)

T20 Asia Cup: An unbeaten campaign has taken India and Sri Lanka to the final of the 2026 Womens T20 Asia Cup, but the two sides arrive at Sundays summit clash with contrasting memories of their previous meeting in a title decider. India, the most successful team in the tournaments history with seven titles, will once again shoulder the weight of expectation. Yet Sri Lanka will take confidence from their eight-wicket victory over India in the 2024 final at Dambulla, a result that remains a reminder of their ability to deliver when the stakes are highest. For India, much of the attention will centre on Shafali Verma, whose consistency has been one of the defining features of their campaign. She has accumulated 168 runs, including two half-centuries, and currently sits at the top of the tournaments run-scoring charts. While Indias batters have struggled to consistently dominate on slow surfaces, Shafali has found ways to score without allowing the conditions to dictate her approach. Smriti Mandhana has also made a significant contribution with 154 runs, although her tournament has included both a century and two single-digit scores. India will want their middle order to provide greater support, particularly after several batters have failed to turn promising starts into substantial contributions. With the ball, Deepti Sharma has been central to Indias campaign. The senior all-rounder has claimed 11 wickets, matching Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu for the tournament lead. Deepti has also added useful runs, with her six-ball 13 against Bangladesh in the semifinal helping India push their score towards 150. The presence of Shree Charani and Prema Rawat has given India further options in the spin department, an area that could prove decisive on a surface where stroke-making has not always been straightforward. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have demonstrated that they are capable of absorbing pressure and finding a way out of difficult situations. Their semifinal against Pakistan was the clearest example. Chasing 131, they were reduced to 5/2, and then 33/4 before Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari steadied the innings with a crucial partnership. Harshitha made 36, while Kavisha contributed 33, before Nilakshika Silva and Kaushini Nuthyangana guided the side home. Athapaththus leadership and experience will again be crucial, while the skipper herself has taken 11 wickets during the tournament. Sri Lanka also have the memory of their 2024 triumph, when Athapaththu and Harshitha both struck half-centuries against India in the final. Indias biggest concern heading into the title clash remains their work in the field. They dropped four catches against Bangladesh in the semifinal, three against Pakistan, and two against Thailand in the opening match. That makes nine dropped catches across four games. Against a Sri Lankan side that has already shown its resilience, India cannot afford to offer second chances. When: Sunday, September 13, 8:00 PM IST Where: Dubai International Stadium, Dubai Where to watch: The match will be broadcast on Sony Sports Network, with live-streaming available on the Sony LIV app and website.

Rajasthan Police arrest man from UP's Faizabad in Rs 3.81 crore online trading fraud

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 12 (IANS) Acting on the directives of Rajasthan Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar Sharma to prevent cybercrimes and take effective action against cybercriminals, the Rajasthan Police Cyber Crime Branch has arrested a man from Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh, in connection with a multi-crore online trading fraud. The arrest was made by the Central Cyber Crime Police Station, Jaipur. The accused has been identified as Alok, a resident of Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh. DGP (Cyber Crime) VK Singh said that, according to a complaint filed on October 5, 2025, the complainant had been searching on Google for information related to online trading and investment. During the search, the complainant came across an online trading platform called 'CMC Forex' / 'CMC Global CS'. The accused allegedly contacted the complainant through Telegram while posing as representatives of the company's India-based customer care or management team. They lured the complainant with promises of high returns from online trading and induced him to transfer a total of Rs 3,81,37,677 into various bank accounts. During the investigation, police found that the cyber fraudsters had created a website and fake online trading platform resembling 'CMC', a reputed foreign trading company. The accused allegedly claimed to be associated with the company's India-based customer care and management teams. They continuously provided trading-related instructions to the complainant through Telegram and encouraged him to invest in different companies. Initially, to gain the complainant's confidence, a portion of the money invested in small amounts was returned. This convinced the complainant that the platform was genuine and prompted him to invest larger sums. The accused allegedly directed the complainant to deposit money into multiple bank accounts. At the same time, the fake trading account showed steadily increasing profits against the investments. As a result, the complainant was led to believe that profits worth crores of rupees had accumulated in the account. When the complainant attempted to withdraw the money, the cyber fraudsters allegedly demanded additional payments on various pretexts, including income tax, currency exchange fees, security deposits and margin guarantees. Even after each payment, new conditions and charges were allegedly imposed, with the complainant repeatedly pressured to make further deposits. Despite the payments, the crores of rupees displayed in the fake trading account were never actually made available for withdrawal. During the investigation, police examined bank records and followed the money trail. A beneficiary bank account linked to 'Shiv Bakers and Fast Food' was identified. Police found that Rs 20 lakh of the money allegedly obtained through the fraud had been deposited into this account. Investigators are now tracing the subsequent movement of the money and working to identify other individuals associated with the cyber fraud network. Based on bank records and technical analysis, police identified Alok, a resident of Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh. The investigation allegedly established his involvement in connection with the beneficiary bank account used to receive proceeds of the cyber fraud. According to police, the bank account and financial channels provided by the accused were used to receive the defrauded money and facilitate further transactions. Alok has been arrested, and further investigation is underway. Police are conducting detailed technical analysis of CDRs, CAFs and IPDRs, along with the money trail from the banking transactions. Investigators are collecting information about the accounts into which the defrauded funds were deposited, the subsequent movement of the money and the identities of other individuals linked to the network. The operation was conducted by a team constituted under the direction of Shantanu Kumar Singh, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Cyber Crime). The team was led by Gajendra Sharma, Station House Officer (SHO) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the Central Cyber Crime Police Station, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The team included Police Inspector Radheshyam, Constables Manoj Samota and Krishna Yadav, and Constable-Driver Sube Singh.

Some sections tarnishing Sanatan Dharma by spreading hatred: Digvijaya Singh

Digital Desk | Datia, Sep 11 (IANS) Senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh on Friday said that some sections were tarnishing Sanatan Dharma by spreading religious hatred and asserted that he opposed anyone using religion to create divisions in society. What is happening is that in this country, some sections are tarnishing Sanatan Dharma and spreading religious hatred. I do not want to name those organisations. They exist among Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians as well. I oppose anyone who spreads hatred in the name of religion, Singh said at a press conference in Datia. The veteran Congress leader made this statement while explaining the objective behind his proposed 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' from Ujjain to Ayodhya. During his visit to Datia, Singh visited the Pitambara Peeth and offered prayers to Goddess Baglamukhi. He also offered jalabhishek at Bankhandeshwar Mahadev temple and stood in a queue along with common devotees. He later visited the residence and fort of newly elected Congress MLA Ghanshyam Singh, where he met party workers before addressing the media. Singh said the essence of Sanatan Dharma should be understood through the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya and saint-poet Kabir, and maintained that religion should not be used to spread hatred or hostility. The Congress leader said true Sanatan teaches tolerance, compassion and harmony among all communities. He had earlier announced that the 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra' would begin from Ujjain on October 20, coinciding with Vijayadashami, and proceed to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, covering over 1,000 km. Singh has said the yatra is neither in support of nor against any political party and is aimed at protecting transparency, truth and devotees' faith while promoting social harmony. The Congress leader has invited people to register for participation in the proposed yatra from Ujjain to Ayodhya.

Digvijaya Singh announces Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra to Ayodhya; BJP accuses Cong of 'appeasement politics'

Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 10 (IANS) Amid controversy surrounding allegations of donation theft at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Digvijaya Singh has announced the 'Sanatan Swabhiman Yatra', which will begin in Ujjain on October 20, coinciding with Dussehra, and proceed towards Ayodhya. While announcing the march, Digvijaya Singh described it as a journey from 'Shivdham' (the abode of Lord Shiva) to 'Ramdham' (the abode of Lord Ram), saying that the significance of Dussehra inspired him to undertake the yatra. Dussehra symbolises the victory of 'Dharma' (righteousness) over 'Adharma' (unrighteousness), and it is with this spirit that I decided to undertake the march... The objective of the march is not to oppose any political party or individual, but to hold a mirror to those allegedly involved in the misuse of devotees' faith and the funds offered at the temple, he said. Digvijaya Singh levelled serious allegations against the government over the alleged misuse of offerings made to the Ram Mandir Trust and claimed that the government was attempting to shield Champat Rai. The Congress leader also pointed out that allegations of irregularities had implicated certain individuals associated with the trust, which was constituted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He maintained that any alleged misuse of funds donated by devotees at a major centre of faith could not be accepted and stressed that contributions made by devotees must be handled and utilised in a transparent manner. Singh said the proposed march was not intended as an attack on any particular political party or individual, but was rooted in Sanatan tradition, religious faith and respect for devotees. He said the allegations surrounding donations made to the Ram Temple would be raised before the public through the yatra. During the announcement, Singh also referred to his political history and recalled that despite his opposition to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he had participated in the 'Ram Shila Pujan' campaign during 1988-89. The announcement drew a sharp response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which accused Singh of using the Ram Temple issue for political purposes and urged him to first question Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his absence from the Ayodhya temple. Uttar Pradesh Minister Rakesh Sachan, speaking to IANS, said Singh himself had not visited the Ram Temple to offer prayers and questioned the basis of his criticism. He (Digvijaya Singh) never even went there to offer prayers. Those involved in the theft of donations have already faced action after the Chief Minister constituted a full-fledged inquiry committee. A CEO has also been appointed there in a new arrangement. CM Yogi has consistently been concerned that no such incident should take place, Sachan said. Bihar BJP President Sanjay Saraogi also hit out at Digvijaya Singh and said the Congress leader should first ask Rahul Gandhi why senior leaders of his party had not visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to pay obeisance. Digvijaya Singh should first ask Rahul Gandhi why his party's senior leader has not visited the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to pay obeisance even once. Don't these people feel ashamed? Saraogi told IANS. Saraogi said the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, acted promptly after allegations regarding the theft of donations surfaced and constituted a committee to look into the matter. This is just an example of the Congress party's appeasement politics. Next year, Uttar Pradesh is going to polls, and hence now they are remembering Lord Ram out of nowhere, Saraogi added. JD(U) National General Secretary Shyam Rajak also questioned Digvijaya Singh's reference to Sanatan while attacking the Congress leader over his decision to launch the yatra. Which Sanatan is Digvijaya Singh talking about? He should first put his own house (Congress party) in order and take care of his own family, Rajak said.

Mafia controlled supply of nutritious food to 'Anganwadis' before 2017: CM Yogi in Ayodhya

Digital Desk | Ayodhya, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that under the erstwhile Samajwadi Party (SP) government, the supply of nutritious food to Anganwadi centres in the state was controlled by 'Mafias'. CM Adityanath made the remark while was attending an event to honour Anganwadi workers in Ayodhya. The Chief Minister announced several schemes for Anganwadi workers in the state, including an annual health coverage through a cashless insurance scheme worth Rs 5 lakh. The monthly honorarium for Anganwadi workerswhich had previously been increased to cover an 8-month periodis now being raised to Rs. 12,000 per month. The honorarium for Anganwadi helpers is now being increased to Rs. 6,000, he said, adding that smartphones will also be provided to all workers. Stating that Anganwadi centres are now technologically equipped, CM Aditynath said: I still remember the situation of Anganwadi centres nine years back. They were worn-out, disorganised. Proper food didn't reach the centres, leading to disrepute of the Anganwadi staff. This cheating was carried out by the then government, he said while alleging that the nutritious food meant for the Anganwadi centres was controlled by 'Mafias' back then. Targeting the SP, he added, The reach of the Mafia was such that it could influence any system. No body could dare speak before it. As a result, the Anganwadi centres were not taken care of. There were complains that it didn't get nutritious food on time. The centres had to bear the consequences of somebody's else's actions. He alleged that the previous SP government and the mafia ogether destroyed the system due to which Anganwadi workers were held responsible. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comparison of Anganwadi women to that of Lord Krishna's foster mother 'Yashoda' in 2014, the UP CM said: In order to show respect towards your work, I have come to start these schemes from Ayodhya, the sacred land of Lord Ram. The Chief Minister further claimed that before 2017, the Anganwadi centres in the state lacked basic facilities, saying: The then government lacked sympathy, money went into the hands of mafias, and as a result the Anganwadi centres remained worn-out. CM Adityanath asserted that his government has given an organised look to more than 70,000 Anganwadi centres in the state. We have asked to ensure separate infrastructure for each Anganwadi centre in the state for a healthy childhood, he said, adding that these centres will be the foundation for PM Modi's 'Viksit Bharat' vision. Moreover, the Chief Minister also spoke about the development in Ayodhya under the BJP-led government. Ten years back, there was no electricity, roads, cleanliness or any other facility in Ayodhya. There was anarchy all around, he claimed. Yogi Adityanath alleged that before the BJP came to power in the state, electricity was controlled by the syndicate in Uttar Pradesh. Further, he accused Samajwadi Party of opposing the developmental works carried out by the BJP in the temple town, saying: They (SP) were against the construction of roads, railway station and even airport in Ayodhya dham. Referring to the SP as opposed to development, he accused the party as well as the Congress of opposing the construction of the Ram Temple.
