SC grants bail to Chhattisgarh Congress MLA accused of provoking violence at collectorate premises
RAIPUR: The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to Congress MLA from Bhilai Devendra Yadav, sent to jail in connection with arson and violence at Baloda Bazar collectorate premises on June 10 last year. Yadav was arrested by Chhattisgarh police on August 17, 2024, from his residence in Bhilai. He was accused of provoking the protestors and allegedly incited them leading to vandalism. He is expected to be released from the Raipur Central Jail by Friday evening. Following the decision of the Apex Court, former Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Bhagel took to X-handle alleging that the Congress leader Yadav was jailed in a government conspiracy case. Baghel claimed it would be proved soon that the government had wrongly kept Yadav in jail for months. Due to incompetent government, the incident of arson at the offices of collector and superintendent of police in Baloda Bazar happened. Vishnu Deo Sai government and the home minister are responsible for it, Baghel stated. . . . . @Devendra_1925 Bhupesh Baghel (@bhupeshbaghel) February 20, 2025 However, BJP countered that Yadav has only got a bail but he has not been exonerated from the case. The Congress leader got bail only on technical grounds. The Satnami community and the people of the state will not forgive those accused involved in the conspiracy behind the violence in Baloda Bazar collectorate. Actually the entire Congress is on bail, said Anurag Agrawal, BJP spokesperson. Thousands of Satnami caste protestors agitated over desecration of their place of worship 'Jaitkhamb' near Girodhpuri turned violent, leading to setting the collectorate building and hundreds of vehicles in the premises on fire besides causing extensive damage to public property on June 10. As many as 186 accused involved in Baloda Bazar violence were then arrested. Later some got bail. Yadav, a two-time Congress MLA, also contested Lok Sabha polls last year from the Bilaspur seat.

RAIPUR: As the success of Allu Arjuns blockbuster Pushpa-2 continues, two opportunistic thieves robbed Rs 1.28 lakh from a cinema theatre at Bhilai city after the late-night screening of the film. Two masked robbers reached Mukta theatre on a motorbike, and held the lone security guard on duty Nohar Dewangan at knife point at around 3 AM. The guard was thrashed by them, locked in a room and the keys snatched from him. The duo grabbed the collections from the locker and fled. They even stole the surveillance equipmentclosed-circuit TV cameras and digital video recorder (DVR) that records the footage, evidently not leaving any visible trace of their acts inside the theatre. The probe is underway. We got some specific inputs that hopefully should help the police that have launched a manhunt to nab the robbers who escaped with Rs 1.28 lakh, Jitendra Shukla, Durg district police chief told The New Indian Express. As elsewhere, the Pushpa-2 is also going strong in a packed single-screen Mukta theatre where the tickets sold online in advance were also available on counters. According to the owner of Mukta Theatre, the amount of Rs 1.28 lakh was obtained from the tickets purchased by cinema-goers from the counters for the last show and the cash was kept in the locker of the theatre. The amount was to be deposited in the bank the following day. The incident of theft came to light after the theatre staff arrived in the morning, found the guard locked in a room and alerted the manager. The police were informed and the case was registered.

Country's development not possible without active participation of tribal community: President Murmu
BHILAI: President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday said the country's inclusive development is not possible without the active participation of tribals, and stressed the need to learn from this community on how to live in harmony with nature. Speaking at the 3rd and 4th joint convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai in Chhattisgarh's Durg district, she hailed the institute's efforts towards addressing the issues and problems of the tribal community through technology. Chhattisgarh is rich in tribal culture and tradition. Tribals understand nature very closely and have been living in harmony with the environment for centuries. They are a storehouse of knowledge attained by their lifestyle linked to nature. By understanding their thinking and their lifestyle, we can make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of India, President Murmu said. But the inclusive development of the country is possible only with the active participation of our tribal brothers and sisters, she said, adding IIT Bhilai has made special efforts in the field of technology for their progress. IIT Bhilai has been specially focusing on agritech, healthtech and fintech. IIT Bhilai has developed a mobile app in collaboration with AIIMS Raipur which has provided medical and health suggestions to people at their home in villages, she said. The institute has also collaborated with Indira Gandhi Agricultural University Raipur to create tech solutions for farmers, which gives them guidance in using their resources properly, the President said. Six lakh farmers are using a mobile application called 'Crop Doctor'. I am happy to know this institute is promoting socially relevant research. I have been told many projects related to national security and defence are also being run in this institute, the President said. The institute has been working on the development of people belonging to tribal communities engaged in collection of minor forest produce 'Mahua' and also taking efforts to address issues and problems faced by all stakeholders, she added. The President said IITians had made invaluable contribution to the progress of the country as well as the world with their pioneering thinking, experimental mindset, innovative approach and far-sighted vision. By leading many global companies, IITians are shaping the 21st-century world in many ways with their technical and analytical skills, she said. Many IIT alumni have chosen the path of entrepreneurship, have created new jobs and have promoted India's digital transformation and start-up culture, the President pointed out. In the field of industry, it is said o risk, no gain', Murmu pointed out and asserted success in self-employment cannot be achieved with an attitude of risk aversion. Risk appetite is considered good. I am sure you will continue to move forward with your risk appetite. You all know about AI, blockchain, augmented reality, quantum computing, cyber-security etc. I am sure you all will develop new technologies and work towards making the world a better place, Murmu told the students at the event. The earlier IITs and the newer ones will create a strong ecosystem to face the challenges of the future and this ecosystem will become the identity of a developed India, she said. There are 23 IITs in the country today. The Union government has established IITs in every part of the country with the aim of providing the highest quality technical education to youth, Murmu said. Chhattisgarh Governor Ramen Deka, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Chairman of Board of Governors (BoG) of IIT Bhilai Krishnamurthi Venkataramanan and Director of IIT Bhilai Professor Rajiv Prakash were present on the occasion.
