CHANDIGARH: Demanding the declaration of No-Go-Area zones for waste dumping, burning and landfills, over 100 geo-tagged locations across five districts of Haryana, Gurugram, Faridabad, Nuh, Rewari and Charkhi Dadri, have been highlighted in the second part of the State of the Haryana Aravallis: Citizens Report . The Aravalli mountain range, estimated to be over two billion years old, is under serious threat due to rampant violations, according to the report submitted by the People for Aravallis group to Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Neelam Ahluwalia, Founder Member of People for Aravallis, said the report underscores how illegal industrial waste burning continues in several villages despite a blanket ban imposed by the Nuh Deputy Commissioner in early May this year on open waste burning within the ecologically fragile Aravalli region. The report highlights how, in direct violation of the blanket ban imposed by Nuh Deputy Commissioner in early May this year on open waste burning within the ecologically fragile Aravalli region, alleged illegal industrial waste burning continues in Khori Khurd, Khori Kalan, Sonari, Gurnawat, Rangala, Naharpur, Sewka and other villages in Tauru, which is resulting in severe air, soil and groundwater pollution, she said. It also throws light on the pollution being caused in the eco-sensitive Aravalli region as a result of the infamous Bandhwari landfill and a landfill site near ITI Colony on the old Sohna-Alwar road, where mixed waste is being dumped daily. Regular fires at both landfill sites in the Gurugram Aravallis emit dangerous toxins, as organic waste, e-waste, plastic, chemicals and hazardous waste are all burnt together, adding to Delhi-NCRs and Haryanas air pollution, heat index and climate sensitivity, she claimed. She further said, The report also highlights how, over the last few years, hazardous solid waste from the Bandhwari landfill and other kinds of waste have been dumped in mining quarries and forest areas across many locations in the Gurugram and Faridabad Aravallis, contaminating the soil, surface and groundwater in NCRs lifeline for clean air, water recharge and wildlife habitat. The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had tested samples of the solid waste from the Bandhwari landfill dumped in one of the Aravalli forest areas near the landfill and found a high concentration of pathogens and toxic metals. Dumped waste lying in 100-plus locations across five districts of the state where the Aravalli range runs, as mentioned in the report, must be removed from these eco-sensitive areas immediately and disposed of in a responsible manner. It is critical to establish a mechanism for strict monitoring and accountability, which is completely lacking at this point, in order to bring any positive change to the current extremely dismal health of the Aravallis, she said. Neelam added, We urge the government to constitute Aravalli Protection Task Force Committees in all the Aravalli districts, headed by the DC of each district under the supervision of the Chief Secretary. Strict accountability with severe consequences is a must to ensure that government officials do their job without neglect and in a proactive manner to safeguard the Aravallis, so that our cattle, wildlife and people in the Aravalli districts in Haryana can live with dignity, without gasping for breath, drinking toxic water and being sick. Dr Rajendra Singh, the globally renowned water conservationist, said, Aquifers lying beneath the Aravallis are interconnected and any disturbance or alterations in the pattern due to toxic landfills and waste dumping can significantly alter the purity of the groundwater table. Aravallis need to be declared as a No-Go area for waste dumping, burning, landfills and waste plants, as we cannot afford to pollute our green lungs, critical water recharge zones and wildlife habitats any further. Dr Shyamala Mani, Senior Waste Management Expert who works as Senior Advisor at the Centre for Chronic Disease Control and is a former professor at the National Institute of Urban Affairs, said, Sustainable waste management is the need of the hour. No fresh, mixed waste should go to the existing landfill sites in the Aravallis. Focus must be on decentralised waste management, source segregation and maximum resource recovery from waste, so that minimal waste goes to the landfills, which must be set up outside the eco-sensitive Aravalli region. The use of single-use plastic items must be banned in all the Aravalli districts. Earlier, a month ago, Part 1 of the Citizens Report, which focused on the worrying state of the Aravallis due to rampant mining, deforestation and illegal encroachments, was submitted.

54-year-old held for murdering daughter-in-law in Faridabad
NEW DELHI: A 54-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his daughter-in-law and burying her near their house in Faridabad. The in-laws filed a missing persons complaint and managed to hide the crime for two months, before the police found the body on Friday, police said. The woman, Tannu Rajput, got married to one Arun Singh of Roshan Nagar area of Faridabad in 2023. According to Tannus father, the police paid no heed to his complaint, even after he raised suspicions about the freshly covered pit, which he had seen while visiting his brother-in-law. On April 25, Arun filed a complaint stating that his wife had left home without informing anyone. Based on the complaint, a case was registered at the Palla police station, and an investigation was initiated. ACP Sarai Rajesh Kumar said the police grew suspicious of the in-laws involvement in the womans murder and burial on their property. On June 20, in the presence of a duty magistrate, the police excavated a pit in front of the house and recovered Tannus body.
Faridabad murder case: Father-in-law held after confessing to killing and burying woman outside home
FARIDABAD: Police here have arrested a 54-year-old man who confessed to killing his daughter-in-law and burying her body in front of his house two months ago, an officer said on Saturday. Bhoop Singh, a resident of Roshan Nagar, confessed to strangling his daughter-in-law Tannu Kumar and throwing her body in a pit he dug for the purpose in front of his house, the officer said. The motive behind the murder is yet to be revealed, even though the accused said he killed the woman because she caused a rift in the household. According to Bhoop Singh's testimony, as cited by police, the murder happened on the night of April 21, when the woman's husband, Arun Kumar, was away at work, and Bhoop Singh's wife at a wedding in Uttar Pradesh, leaving only Bhoop Singh, his daughter Kajal, and Tannu in the house. His daughter had gone to sleep in her room on the ground floor after having dinner and Tannu had also gone to sleep on the first floor. In the night, the accused went to Tannu's room and strangled her with her dupatta. He then dumped the body in a pit in front of the house and covered it with soil. In the morning, he called a mason and got the pit cemented, a spokesperson of Faridabad police said. Bhoop Singh was produced in a city court today and was taken into police custody for two days. We are verifying the roles of other family members. The motive appears to be dowry-related, but further probe is underway, Sarai Assistant Commissioner of Police Rajesh Kumar said. Tannu Kumar, a native of Shikohabad in Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh, had married Arun Singh of Roshan Nagar area here two years ago. Her body was exhumed Friday morning before Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh. Her father, Hakim, alleged that police refused to listen to his complaint even after he raised suspicion about the freshly covered pit, which he witnessed when he visited his brother-in-law's house. Hakim alleged that his daughter was harassed by her in-laws over dowry, to the extent, she had to stay at her paternal home for a year after marriage. She returned to Faridabad after the intervention of a panchayat, but the matter was far from being resolved. Earlier, her in-laws reported Tannu as missing and also told police she was mentally challenged. Hakim said that after he was informed about her daughter going missing, he visited Bhoop Singh's house with his other daughter, Preeti, and knew something was amiss when he saw the freshly turned soil outside the home. Police had earlier booked Bhoop Singh, originally from UP's Mainpuri, his wife Sonia, son Arun Singh, and daughter Kajal. Tannu's body was handed over to her kin after a post-mortem at Badshah Khan Civil Hospital on Friday.

According to police, on April 23, Arun Singh and his father called for an earthmover and used it to have a 10-foot deep pit dug in the street in front of their house. The next day, they asked a mason to fill the hole. Two days later, they approached police to report Tannu missing, and even branded her as mentally challenged. Hakim alleged that his daughter was harassed by her in-laws over dowry, to the extent, she had to stay at her paternal home for a year after marriage.

He alleged that he made several rounds of the local police station but in vain, as they refused to investigate the matter. They took it up only a week ago. The pit was dug Friday morning before Naib Tehsildar Jaswant Singh, and Tannu's body was exhumed. A Faridabad Police spokesperson said raids are being made to nab the other family members.

Haryana: Citizens' report calls for 'no-go' zones for mining in the Aravallis
CHANDIGARH: A citizens' report has been submitted to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, demanding the declaration of 'NO-GO' areas for mining and stone crushing in the Aravallis. It also calls for a law that classifies the destruction of this ancient mountain range as an ecological crime in Haryana. The report, titled State of the Haryana Aravallis: Citizens Report Part 1, was submitted by the environmental collective 'People for Aravallis'. It outlines the status of the Aravalli range across seven Haryana districts, Nuh, Faridabad, Gurugram, Rewari, Mahendergarh, Charkhi Dadri and Bhiwani. The report highlights that due to rampant mining (both licensed and illegal), deforestation, encroachments, and diversion of Aravalli land for various projects, the two-billion-year-old range is on the brink of extinction. Neelam Ahluwalia, Founder Member of People for Aravallis, said, This report is the first in the series of reports that our group is sharing with our elected representatives and bureaucracy, on the dismal health of our lifeline which is vital for clean air and water security. In the backdrop of the Supreme Court this week expressing serious concern over continuing illegal mining across the 670-kilometre Aravalli range and giving the Centre-led Committee a final two-month deadline to arrive at a uniform definition of the ecologically crucial mountain range, this report highlights the extremely worrying status of the Aravalli hills and forests in Haryana, she said. She added that the destruction has resulted from a lack of legal safeguards and ground-level protection, with significant consequences for the environment and public health in the region. Dr R.P. Balwan, Retired Conservator of Forests, South Circle Haryana, stated, In the report we have showcased in detail how licensed mining and stone crushing units across the Haryana Aravallis have been flouting rules and regulations, and how illegal mining continues brazenly in most districts in various ways. It also states how out of the seven districts where the Aravallis are present in Haryana, in two districts, licensed mining operations have wiped out most of the two-billion-year-old range. Only a few small hillocks stand in the name of the mighty Aravallis in Bhiwani district! he said. He further noted, The policy decision to allow mining in all the Aravalli hills in Charkhi Dadri district in 2015, other than one hill range which comes under the Aravalli plantation project, has over the last decade resulted in the near annihilation of one of the oldest geological features in the world in this district. Citing a specific case, Dr Balwan added, In Rajawas village in Mahendergarh district, where the Aravalli area was designated as Protected Forest under the Nicobar Swap, in a serious case of illegality, 24 per cent of this PF land was auctioned for mining in 2023. This area is extremely rich in biodiversity with native tree species like Khair, Dhok, Rohida, Dhoodi, Khejri, Hingot, Kair, and some endangered tree species like Guggul, Jaal and Salar. It is also a habitat for many endangered and vulnerable wildlife species such as the rare Rusty Spotted Cat, Leopard, Striped Hyena, Indian Small Civet, Bengal Monitor Lizard, Owl, and Eagle, he said. The report identifies over 60 documented locations and hotspots of illegal mining across the Mahendergarh, Nuh and Gurugram Aravallis, stressing the urgent need for surveillance, protection, and ecological restoration. Indias National Capital Region and Haryana state will soon become a desert and water-starved at the current rate of destruction of the Aravalli hills, which serve as the only shield preventing the expansion of the Thar desert into Haryana and Delhi-NCR, warned Balwan. Dr Rajendra Singh, renowned water conservationist from Rajasthan, added, All the demands made in this report, especially the creation of NO-GO areas for mining and stone crushing, are a must to be implemented to save what is left of the Aravalli hills and centuries-old forests across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi. Our elected leaders in the Aravalli states and at the Centre should also consider introducing a law that makes destruction of Aravallis an ecological crime punishable in the strictest way possible so that people indulging in illegal activities know that they will be severely punished, he added. This law should also be applicable to government officials failing to protect the Aravalli range crucial for human, cattle and wildlife health; agricultural productivity; climate modulation, as North West Indias only barrier against desertification, our pollution sink and critical water recharge zone, Singh said.
Name Mix-Up Leads To Wrongful Release Of Rape Accused From Faridabad Jail
Faridabad: Name mix-up leads to release of rape accused instead of prisoner granted bail

Name mix-up leads to release of rape accused instead of prisoner granted bail in Haryana
FARIDABAD: The district jail administration released a POCSO prisoner instead of the prisoner who was supposed to be released on bail due to a mix-up of names, police said on Friday. After the release of the wrong prisoner, a case has been registered against the POCSO prisoner for hiding his identity and getting released at the Sadar police station. The police have begun searching for the prisoner and he will be arrested soon, assured Sadar police station SHO Umesh Kumar. 27-year-old Nitesh Pandey, son of Ravinder Pandey, was arrested on October 2021 for repeatedly raping a nine-year-old boy in Faridabad. Complicating matters, there is a second individual named Nitesh, who is 24 years old and also has a father named Ravinder. He was jailed the previous Sunday on charges of house trespass and assault. Both men were lodged in Neemka jail, Faridabad, the police said. The second Nitesh, accused of assault, was granted bail on Monday by the Faridabad court Chief Judicial Magistrate. He was set to be released from jail on Tuesday, however, authorities released Nitesh Pandey, the rape accused. The jail administration now claims that Nitesh Pandey managed to obtain his release by hiding his identity. We have lodged a complaint with the Sadar Police Station against Nitish Pandey for obtaining his release by hiding his identity, Jail Deputy Superintendent Vikram Singh said.

CHANDIGARH: There is only one operational old-age home in Haryana as per the status report given to the Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) by the authorities. The commission has raised serious concerns over the sluggish pace of old-age home construction across the state. In a review conducted in compliance with its earlier order dated January 31 the commission noted that only one old age home in Rewari district is currently operational, nearly two years after its inauguration on January 6, 2023. As per the status report received on April 1, this year the land has not yet been identified for old age homes in Jhajjar, Palwal, Panipat, Rohtak, and Sirsa districts. Meanwhile, districts like Gurugram, Kaithal, CharkhiDadri, Mahendragarh, and Nuh have earmarked land and have initiated the construction process. Construction remains pending in Faridabad, Fatehabad, Hisar, Jind, Kurukshetra, Sonipat, and Yamunanagar due to a lack of planning approvals. However, work is ongoing in Karnal under the Smart City Project and in Panchkula under the supervision of the Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board. During a virtual inspection of the Rewari old age home, the commission found that only 12 senior citizens (9 men and 3 women) were residing in a facility built to house 170 residents.

To expedite progress, the commission has directed the following senior officials to personally monitor and accelerate the construction of old age homes: Additional Chief Secretary, Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Chief Administrator, HSVP, Panchkula, Director, Development and Panchayats Department and Director, Town and Country Planning Department. According to Dr Puneet Arora spokesman of the commission and protocol officer, the commission has sought a detailed action taken report from the concerned departments by July 29 this year.

Study reveals India unprepared for growing heatwave threat; warns of rising deaths
NEW DELHI: A new report indicates India is poorly prepared to handle the increasing number of extreme heatwaves in the future. It claims the country primarily focuses on immediate responses to heatwaves while long-term strategies remain scarce. It warns that India may witness more deaths due to more frequent, intense, and prolonged heatwaves in the coming years. The report is produced by the Sustainable Futures Collaborative (SFC), a non-profit based in New Delhi, and co-authored by scholars from Kings College London, Harvard University, Princeton University, and the University of California, Berkeley. Many long-term measures must be implemented now, with urgency, to have a chance of preventing significant increases in mortality and economic damage in the coming decades, says Aditya Valiathan Pillai, a researcher at Kings College London and coauthor of the study. Experts pointed out that a major problem with short-term measures is that their impact cannot be easily verified until long-term measures are implemented. Short-term measures are life-saving actions, while long-term actions look at strengthening and capacity-building health systems and environmental steps to reduce future impact. It surveys nine major metro cities and identifies short-term and long-term emergency measures to mitigate rising heatwaves. These cities Bengaluru, Delhi, Faridabad, Gwalior, Kota, Ludhiana, Meerut,Mumbai and Surat together make up over 11 percent of Indias urban population, according to Census 2011, and are some of Indias most at-risk cities for future heat. The report finds that the surveyed cities focus on immediate responses to heat waves, while long-term actions remain rare. Even where they do exist, they are poorly targetted. The report recommends urgent institutional changes to measures, including assessing vulnerability and identifying urban heat islands, building the capacity of health staff and implementers of the heat action plan, and investing in technology to provide energy-efficient cooling devices. However, the report also underlined barriers to implementing the heat wave mitigation action plan. It states that coordination problems among institutions emerged as the top barrier, followed by competing priorities limiting the focus on heat. Around 14% of surveyed people said they do not see heat as a problem. The study used different climate models to identify the nine cities with a recent rise in dangerous heat index values and a population above one million. For analysis, interviews were conducted with city, district, and state government officials responsible for implementing heat actions in these cities.
