'Never doubted my abilities to come back into national setup', says Indian Team forward Preeti Dubey

'Never doubted my abilities to come back into national setup', says Indian Team forward Preeti Dubey Preeti Dubey, the dynamic Indian hockey forward, was named in the 33-member Indian women's hockey team that is currently training at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Bangalore. The 60-member assessment squad that reported to camp on April 1, was spruced up after selection trials that were held on April 6-7, 2024. Out of 33, one name that stood out was - Preeti Dubey. The 25-year-old, who hails from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and made her last appearance for the Indian Women's Hockey Team in the Hockey World League Semi-Final in 2017, clawed her way back into the national setup after impressing the selectors and coaches in the assessment camp. Her selection comes after she put up an impressive performance in the 14th Hockey India Senior Women National Championship 2024, held in Pune, as per a press release from Hockey India. Speaking about her inclusion, Preeti said, It feels amazing to come back in the national setup. But this is just the first step. All my efforts and hard work have paid off. I would like to thank my family members, and all my coaches who supported me, motivated me and stood by me in difficult times. I always believed in myself that the right time would come and I never doubted my abilities and potential to come back into the national setup. Recalling the struggles that she overcame, she said, I have seen a lot of ups and downs in the past few years but I believe that because of what happened, it has made me mentally strong. When the lockdown happened in 2020, I faced a lot of problems because we could not play Nationals and due to that, I could not get my allocated leave from my job at Centre Railway. That one year was the toughest for me. I used to work for eight hours and then come back to my room, and prepare my own food as I was living in Mumbai without my family. But every day, I used to make time for my fitness and training from 8-9 pm. I made sure that my fitness level never went down. My next aim is to make the cut for the 18-member squad, gain my confidence and help my team win medals and accolades on an international circuit. My main focus is now on the 2028 Summer Olympics, she added. Preeti also shared how she kept herself motivated each day and how she pushed herself to improve her game and make a comeback to the Indian Women's Hockey Team. She shared, My father calls me every day and he says that I have what it takes to make a comeback. All of my coaches have always told me that I have the potential and when so many people put their trust in me, it gives me that extra motivation to do better and it keeps me going even under adverse circumstances. I have a diary where I keep writing my dreams in the form of drawings, how can I fulfil them and each day before I hit the field for my training, I look at the diary and it just reminds me of the struggles that I have overcome in the past few years, the 25-year-old added. Known for her agility, strategic prowess, and commitment to the field, she brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. Having previously represented the nation in several national and international tournaments, including the Olympics and World Cup, her presence is set to inspire the performance of her teammates. In 2016, Preeti was one of the youngest members of the Indian Women's Hockey Team that qualified for their maiden Olympic Games in Rio. She also led the 18-member Indian Junior Women's Hockey Team in the U-23 Six Nation Tournament, held in Belgium in 2018. (ANI)

Indian Rail Transport Day 2024: Know These Lesser-known facts about Indian Railways

Indian Rail Transport Day 2024:As the sun rises on April 16, 2024, India marks yet another milestone in its rich railway history - Indian Rail Transport Day. This auspicious occasion commemorates the inauguration of the first-ever passenger train journey on April 16, 1853, from Bori Bunder to Thane, covering a distance of 34 km. Over the years, Indian Railways has evolved into one of the world's busiest and most intricate networks, connecting the nation's vast expanse and facilitating the movement of billions of passengers and goods annually. While many are familiar with the extensive reach and operational prowess of Indian Railways, there are several lesser-known facts that add layers of fascination to this colossal transportation system. India's Fastest Train: Tearing through the tracks at a breathtaking speed of 180 kmph, the Vande Bharat Express stands as a testament to India's engineering prowess. In stark contrast, the Mettupalayam-Ooty Nilgiri passenger train chugs along at a leisurely pace of 10 kmph, offering passengers a scenic journey through the picturesque landscapes of southern India. Train with the Longest Route: Embarking on an epic journey spanning 4286 km, the Vivek Express traverses the length of the Indian subcontinent, connecting the northeastern town of Dibrugarh to the southern tip of Kanyakumari. Clocking in around 82 hours and 30 minutes, this transcontinental voyage is not just the longest in India but also holds its place as one of the most remarkable train journeys in the world. Longest Railway Platform in India: Stretching over a staggering 1366 meters, the platform at Gorakhpur Railway Station in Uttar Pradesh stands as a colossal testament to Indian Railways' engineering marvels. Surpassing the previous record held by Kharagpur station, this mammoth platform offers a glimpse into the grandeur and scale of India's railway infrastructure. First Electric Train in India: Rewinding to the annals of history, the first sparks of electrification in Indian Railways ignited on February 3, 1925. The inaugural run of the electric train between Bombay Victoria Terminal and Kurla Harbour heralded a new era of modernization in India's transportation sector, paving the way for future advancements and expansions. First Bullet Train in India: Anticipation mounts as India gears up to embrace the future of high-speed rail travel with the impending launch of its first bullet train. Set to debut in 2027, the Mumbai to Ahmedabad bullet train promises to revolutionize intercity connectivity, reducing travel times and ushering in a new era of efficiency and comfort. As we celebrate Indian Rail Transport Day 2024, let us not only reflect on the rich tapestry of achievements woven by Indian Railways but also look forward to the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. From the thundering locomotives traversing the length and breadth of the nation to the silent whispers of progress echoed through electrification and high-speed rail, Indian Railways continues to remain the lifeline of a nation in motion.

Several of them held 'Mera Ghar Modi Ka Ghar' and 'Mera Pariwar Modi Ka Pariwar' placards. The BJP had started a campaign to highlight that people of the country comprised Modi's family, the move coming after Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Yadav had said the PM spoke about dynastic politics but had no family of his own. Tribals groups performed several dances enroute, including 'Badhai Nritya', a dance form of the state's Bundelkhand region that is on display to mark marriages, childbirth and other happy occasions. An injured being taken for treatments after a stage built for people collapsed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's road show ahead of Lok Sabha elections, in Jabalpur, Sunday, April 7, 2024 Slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram', 'Ab ki baar 400 paar' and 'Jo Ram ko laaye hai, hum unko layenge' were shouted all along the route. PM Modi started the roadshow by garlanding the statues of Bhagat Singh, Adi Shankaracharya and Rani Durgavati, a legendary Gond queen hailed for her valiant fight against the Mughals several centuries ago. Six people injured Such was the enthusiasm that people on a wooden dais jostled to get a better glimpse of the PM, causing the structure to topple. Police said some six people received minor injuries. Jabalpur is part of the state's Mahakoshal region, which also comprises Chhindwara, the only Lok Sabha seat the BJP had failed to win in the 2019 polls. The ruling party had swept the remaining 28 seats in MP. Jabalpur and Chhindwara will go to polls in the first phase on April 19 along with Sidhi, Shahdol (ST), Mandla (ST) and Balaghat.

PM Modi's roadshow has fired up BJP workers in MP, say party leaders

PM Modi's roadshow has fired up BJP workers in MP, say party leaders Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh on Sunday has fired up workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party, leaders said. The 1.2 kilometre roadshow, from Shaheed Bhagat Singh crossing to Adi Shankaracharya crossing in Gorakhpur locality here, saw huge crowds lining up along the route, many of them carrying placards claiming they were Modi's family. Tribal dancers performed at several places while the saffron coloured vehicle carrying the PM, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and others moved as part of the roadshow between 6:30pm and 7:15pm. Jabalpur is the main city in MP's Mahakoshal region. The BJP has been winning from Jabalpur Lok Sabha seat since 1996. It has fielded Ashish Dubey this time. Of the eight Assembly seats in Jabalpur, the BJP won seven and the Congress one in the 2023 polls. Mahakoshal also has Chhindwara, the only Lok Sabha seat the BJP had failed to win in the 2023 Assembly polls. The BJP, which won 166 seats in the 230-member Assembly and relegated the Congress to a distant second with 63 seats, however, had failed to capture any of the seven seats in Chhindwara, which is considered a bastion of Congress leader Kamal Nath. The PM began his roadshow by garlanding the statue of Rani Durgavati, the queen of the tribal Gond community, who valiantly fought the Mughals in Jabalpur and then ended her life with a knife to keep her honour intact. Jabalpur and Chhindwara will go to polls in the first phase on April 19 along with Sidhi, Shahdol (ST), Mandla (ST) and Balaghat. ''The PM's roadshow has really fired up BJP workers,'' a party leader told PTI. Incidentally, of the 31 Assembly seats in Mahakoshal, the Congress won 16 and the BJP emerged victorious on 15 in the 2023 polls. Of the 12 seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes in the region, the Congress won eight and the BJP four. In Mandla, the BJP has fielded Union Minister Faggan Singh Kulaste, who had lost the 2023 Assembly polls from Niwas seat. Moreover, of the six Assembly seats reserved in Mandla for STs, the Congress won four and the BJP two. Of the total eight seats in Mandla, the Congress emerged victorious on five and the BJP managed to win on three. The PM will also address a public meeting on Tuesday in Balaghat, where BJP's Bharti Pardi is up against the Congress' Samrat Saraswat and BSP's Kankar Munjare. Of the eight Assembly seats in Balaghat, the BJP and Congress had won four each in 2023. In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP had won 28 out of the 29 seats in MP on the back of a massive Modi wave. The stellar performance came just months after the Congress managed to edge out the BJP and form government after the 2018 Assembly polls.

RPF's Crackdown on Stone-Pelting: Passenger Safety Paramount

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Railway Protection Force (RPF) has taken a stern stance against stone-pelting incidents targeting trains, aiming to ensure the safety of passengers. Commandant Ashutosh Pandey of Lucknow RPF has initiated the formation of special teams in collaboration with all police stations within the division to apprehend stone-pelters. Recent incidents, such as the pelting of stones at the Shatabdi Express traveling from Lucknow between Amethi and Chilbila, have prompted proactive measures. Passengers promptly alerted authorities about these incidents, prompting swift action. In response to escalating incidents of stone-pelting on various trains, RPF Commandant Ashutosh Pandey has mobilized teams across all police stations within the Lucknow division. These teams, operating incognito, will diligently search for and apprehend stone-pelters, while also keeping a vigilant eye on individuals loitering near railway tracks. RPF Inspector Anil Kumar highlighted the persistent monitoring of individuals engaging in anarchic activities, particularly targeting trains with stone pelting. Notably, incidents of stone pelting were reported on the Gorakhpur-Prayagraj Vande Bharat train on March 18, resulting in damage to the exterior glass of the train. Prompt action was taken as passengers promptly reported the incident to the RPF, leading to the initiation of an investigation by the authorities. While the incident caused no casualties, it underscored the need for heightened vigilance and prompt response to ensure the safety and security of passengers. Despite the challenges posed by such incidents, railway authorities remain committed to ensuring the smooth and safe operation of train services in Uttar Pradesh.

People of West Bengal tired of TMC's corruption, poor governance: PM Modi ahead of Jalpaiguri rally

People of West Bengal tired of TMC's corruption, poor governance: PM Modi ahead of Jalpaiguri rally Amid the showdown between the ruling TMC and the BJP in the state over the attack on an NIA team in Purba Medinipur district during the raid in connection with a blast case, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a public rally in Jalpaiguri district of North Bengal as part of his campaign vigils ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. PM Modi is scheduled to address the rally around 2 pm on Sunday in Jalpaiguri's Dhupguri, for which hectic preparations are currently underway. Ahead of his visit to North Bengal, PM Modi, on Sunday, took to his official X handle to post, This afternoon, I will be among the people of Jalpaiguri to address a rally. There is outstanding support in @BJP4Bengal's favour. The people of West Bengal are tired of TMC's corruption and poor governance. Only BJP can fulfil their dreams. The visit to North Bengal will also be his first since the upper reaches of Bengal were hit by a severe storm. The storm, which also lashed vast swathes of the Northeast, left a trail of devastation in its wake. PM Modi will headline the campaign event in favour of the BJP's sitting MP and Lok Sabha candidate Jayanta Kumar Roy. The Jalpaiguri Lok Sabha seat will poll in the first of seven-phased Lok Sabha elections on April 19. Earlier, PM Modi addressed a rally in Cooch Behar district, his first public meeting in the Bengal since the announcement of the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections. Though the TMC, BJP, Left and the Congress are in fray for the Lok Sabha elections in Bengal, the battle is likely to be dominated by the ruling party and the principal Opposition force in the state. The 42 parliamentary seats of Bengal will poll across all seven phases--on April 19, April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1. In 2019, Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal were also conducted in all seven phases, with the TMC winning 22 of the 42 seats and the BJP coming up with a much-improved showing from 2014, bagging 18 seats. The Congress had to settle for just two seats. Apart from Jalpaiguri in North Bengal, PM Modi will also headline rallies at Nawada in Bihar and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. He will kick off campaign in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh on Sunday with a roadshow in Jabalpur. The roadshow, on a 1.2-km route, will start from Shaheed Bhagat Singh crossing on Sunday evening and culminate at Adi Shankaracharya crossing in Gorakhpur locality of Jabalpur, according to the BJP's city president Prabhat Sahu.

Skin-friendly gulal, made from Kachnar flowers, to mark Ram Lallas Holi

Lucknow: Lord Shri Ram Lalla will enjoy the Holi with skin-friendly gulal made from Kachnar flowers at his magnificent temple in Awadhpuri as the scientists of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Botanical Research Institute (CSIR-NBRI) have crafted this special gulal, to honour Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths remarkable contribution to conserve the rich tradition and heritage of the country. The scientists have prepared another herbal gulal from the flowers offered at Gorakhnath Temple, Gorakhpur. The gulals made from kachnar as well as other flowers offered at Gorakhnath Temple are available in lavender and sandalwood fragrances, respectively. Director of the institute Dr Ajit Kumar Shashani presented both the special gulals to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and earned his appreciation on Wednesday. Lauding the efforts of the institute, the CM said that the initiative will provide more opportunities to start-ups and entrepreneurs while generating employment both within UP as well as across the country. Underscoring CM Yogi's efforts to conserve trees and plants that find mention in the Ramayana in Ayodhya, Director Dr Ajit said, Kachnar was considered the state tree of Ayodhya in Treta Yuga and it has been used as a well-established medicine in our Ayurvedic system of medicine. He said. Drawing inspiration from the CMs efforts to respect heritage and preserve tradition, our scientists have developed this herbal gulal, especially for Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, Ayodhya, from the flowers of Bauhinia species commonly known as Kachnar. Kachnar has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal etc. properties. Similarly, herbal gulal has been extracted from flowers offered at Gorakhnath Temple, Gorakhpur. These herbal gulal have been tested and are completely safe for human skin and eco-friendly. According to Shashani, the colours of these herbal gulals are not bright as they do not contain harmful chemicals like lead, chromium and nickel. The colours extracted from flowers are mixed with natural ingredients to form a powder that can be easily wiped off the skin, he said. Herbal Gulal technology has been transferred to many companies and start-ups for better availability of the eco-friendly gulal in the market. Talking about the chemical gulal currently available in the market, Dr. Shashani said that these contain dangerous chemicals that can cause allergies, irritation and serious problems in the skin and eyes.

Herbal, skin-friendly colours for Ram Lalla this Holi

Herbal, skin-friendly colours for Ram Lalla this Holi Ram Lalla will enjoy this year's Holi with skin-friendly gulal made from Kachnar flowers at his new temple in Ayodhya, officials here said. Devotees believe that Kachnar was Ayodhya's ''state tree'' in Treta Yuga. A team of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Botanical Research Institute (CSIR-NBRI) has prepared this special gulal for the occasion, an official said. ''The scientists have prepared another herbal gulal from the flowers offered at Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur and are available in lavender and sandalwood fragrances,'' an official said. Ajit Kumar Shasany, Director of CSIR-NBRI presented both the herbal Holi colours to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday. ''Drawing inspiration from the chief minister's efforts to respect heritage and preserve tradition, our scientists have developed this herbal gulal, especially for Shri Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, from the flowers of Bauhinia species commonly known as Kachnar,'' Shasany said. ''Kachnar was considered the state tree of Ayodhya in Tretayuga and it is used as a medicine in Ayurveda. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties,'' he said. ''These herbal colours have been tested and are completely safe for human skin and are eco-friendly, he added. The appearance of these colours is not bright as they do not contain harmful chemicals like lead chromium and nickel, the director said. ''The colours extracted from flowers are mixed with natural ingredients to form a powder that can be easily wiped off the skin,'' he explained. Chemically prepared gulal, currently available in the market, contains toxins that can cause allergic reactions, irritation and serious damage to the skin and eyes, said Shasany. He further elaborated that a key characteristic of herbal gulal is its tendency to not quickly stain the hands, distinguishing it from other varieties. The herbal gulal produced by CSIR-NBRI serves as a secure substitute for the harmful chemical-based colors commonly available in the market during the Holi festivities, he added.

CBI Files Chargesheet Against 7 Suspects in Manipur Arms Looting Case

Imphal: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken decisive action by filing a chargesheet against seven individuals accused of orchestrating the looting of arms and ammunition from the 2nd Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) in Manipur amidst the ethnic turmoil that engulfed the state last August. Presenting the chargesheet before the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Kamrup (Metro), located in Guwahati, marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for the heinous crime. The incident, which occurred on August 3, 2023, saw armed miscreants allegedly pilfering 300 arms, 19,800 rounds of ammunition, 800 varieties of munitions, and associated accessories from two rooms within the IRB Headquarters situated in Naranseina, Bishnupur district. Following the gravity of the situation, the CBI swiftly intervened by initiating a case against the perpetrators on August 24, 2023. The agency took charge of the investigation, building upon the foundation laid by the First Information Report (FIR) filed at the Moirang police station in Bishnupur. Currently, the CBI's rigorous investigation remains ongoing, with dedicated efforts focused on identifying and prosecuting all individuals implicated in the crime. This commitment underscores the agency's dedication to upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability for such reprehensible acts. The backdrop of the incident is rooted in the ethnic tensions that erupted in Manipur, particularly between the Valley-majority Meiteis and the hill-majority Kukis, starting from May 3, 2023. The resultant sporadic violence has exacted a heavy toll, claiming the lives of over 180 individuals and displacing thousands more within the state. As Manipur grapples with the aftermath of these tragic events, the pursuit of justice by the CBI serves as a beacon of hope for the affected communities, signaling a resolute stance against criminal activities that threaten peace and stability in the region.
