Anushman Jha: I make movies to connect, my attempt has never been transactional
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 28 (IANS) Actors Soni Razdan and Raghubir Yadavs Om Ka Hari is to have its special screenings for over 50 Army centres in India. The films producer Anshuman Jha calls it the old-school way of connecting with audiences and added further that he makes movies to connect. Anshuman will travel across 15 cities from Monday onwards, including Delhi, Kolkata, Lucknow, Agra, Jaipur, Bengaluru and Patna to host special screenings. Anshuman said in a statement: This is the old-school way of connecting with audiences, not just selling a film to them. I make movies to connect, and my attempt has never been transactional; it has always been emotional. So I am willing to keep working harder and going further to reach my audience. Charlie Chaplin used to take his films from city to city. I want to do that with Om Ka Hari. I want to sit with audiences, watch the film with them, hear what they feel, and have conversations with them. He said that the love for Om Ka Hari is real, and he wants to keep walking that extra mile to take the film to more people and, hopefully, spread the message at its heart: express your love to your parents while you still have the chance. With 25 cinemas retaining the film into Week 2 and 50+ Army Centre screenings lined up across India, Om Ka Hari is now entering its second week with continued word-of-mouth momentum. The Army Centre screenings are expected to bring the film to thousands of viewers nationwide, with over 50 centres hosting screenings. Om Ka Hari explores the complexities of the father-son relationship through comedy, drama and the things families often struggle to say to one another. Directed by Harish Vyas, Om Ka Hari stars Anshuman Jha and Raghubir Yadav in the titular roles of Om and Hari. The film follows a stubborn father and his independent-minded son, whose relationship is shaped by generational differences, disagreements and deeply held expectations. When Hari believes he has only a few days left to live, he decides to make a journey to Varanasi, with Om accompanying him. What begins as a journey marked by conflict gradually becomes an opportunity for the two to confront the love, hurt and things left unsaid between them.

Rajasthan CM announces Rs 924 crore projects for Udaipur division
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 26 (IANS) Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma on Saturday inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for development projects worth Rs 924 crore across the Udaipur division, emphasising the importance of tribal art and cultural traditions to Rajasthans identity. Addressing a programme in Pratapgarh, Sharma said the state government was committed to preserving tribal heritage while promoting products and creating livelihood opportunities. He noted that tribal communities would benefit from better markets, fair prices and new opportunities through organisations such as Rajasangh and CONFED. Referring to the Gram Vikas Chaupal held in Bambori, Sharma said the interaction allowed discussions on local culture and villagers needs. He added that under Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership, the government was expanding employment and amenities in rural areas, including water, electricity, roads, education and healthcare. Sharma said the double-engine government had dedicated 423 projects worth Rs 256 crore to tribal regions. These included 14 power projects worth Rs 87 crore, 15 drinking water and irrigation projects worth Rs 75 crore, seven road projects worth Rs 22 crore, and 19 school-related projects worth Rs 9 crore. Other works covered healthcare, skill development, environmental conservation, hostels and tribal development. Foundation stones were also laid for 1,029 projects worth Rs 668 crore, including 299 road projects worth Rs 429 crore, 562 rural development projects worth Rs 73 crore and six major health infrastructure projects worth Rs 71 crore. Altogether, 1,452 projects worth Rs 924 crore were inaugurated or launched across seven districts of the division. Sharma highlighted national tribal welfare initiatives under PM Modi, including the Rs 24,000-crore PM-JANMAN scheme and the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan, aimed at providing housing, electricity, clean water, healthcare and roads to over 60,000 tribal villages. He also mentioned expanding Eklavya Model Residential Schools and hostel facilities. Rajasthans measures included increasing honorariums for educators, assistants, sanitation and health workers at Maa-Badi centres, establishing 530 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras in eight districts, and setting up a skill development centre in Udaipur. The monthly mess allowance for students was raised to Rs 3,250, while 250 new Maa-Badi centres were sanctioned. A total of 5,947 centres have been inaugurated under the Adi-Karmyogi Abhiyan. Sharma said 2.36 lakh agricultural minikits were distributed to tribal farmers, and loans worth Rs 925 crore were disbursed under the Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Rajasthan Dalit-Tribal Enterprise Promotion Scheme. He also highlighted the Saundh Mati-Adi Dharohar documentation scheme for tribal art and the inaugural Adi Gaurav Samman ceremony at Mangarh Dham. On employment, Sharma said 1.90 lakh posts had been filled during the governments tenure, with recruitment underway for 1.22 lakh posts and a calendar issued for 1.25 lakh posts scheduled for 2026. He added that e-libraries and e-Mitra services were being made available at panchayat level through Atal Gyan Kendras. He said agreements had been signed with various states on water availability, including projects related to the Ramjal Setu link, Yamuna water sharing, Narmada and Kishau. Efforts were also underway to ensure daytime electricity supply to farmers across Rajasthan by 2027. Revenue Minister Hemant Meena said Rajasthan was witnessing rapid development under Sharmas leadership, with Pratapgarh receiving projects in drinking water, roads, healthcare, education and electricity. During the programme, Sharma launched Aadipar, the first honey product under the Vangiri brand, introduced by Rajasangh to promote minor forest produce from tribal areas.
Rajasthan: Three, including two medical students, killed in Udaipur crash
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 26 (IANS) Three people, including two MBBS students, were killed and two others critically injured after a speeding car collided head-on with a trailer on the Debari-Amberi National Highway in Udaipur on Saturday afternoon. The accident occurred around 3:30 p.m. near the Ramdevji Temple in the Pratapnagar police station area. Police said a Honda City travelling from Debari towards Amberi first hit a road divider after the driver apparently lost control. The car then crossed into the opposite lane and collided with an oncoming trailer. The impact left the vehicle mangled, trapping its occupants inside. Additional Superintendent of Police Umesh Ojha confirmed that all four occupants were MBBS students at Pacific Medical College in Umarda, Udaipur. The deceased were identified as Uday Bansal, a resident of Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, and Ruchika Parihar, 25, from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Police said a third person also died in the crash. The injured include Shashank Singh, son of Lakshminarayan and a resident of Haryana, who sustained serious injuries and was admitted to a private hospital. Another female student travelling in the car was also critically injured. Police said efforts were underway to confirm the identity of the third deceased person and the injured woman. Residents and police worked together to extricate the victims from the wreckage. The bodies of the deceased were taken to the mortuary, while the two critically injured were rushed to hospital. Their condition was reported to be serious. The accident caused significant traffic disruption on the highway, with vehicles queuing on both sides. Police deployed a crane to remove the wrecked car and trailer from the road, restoring traffic flow after clearing the scene. Preliminary investigation suggests the car lost control, struck the divider, and entered the opposite lane before colliding with the trailer. Police have launched a probe into the incident.

She is the wife of Ranjeet Singh Sodala, a former BJP state secretary and state president of the Ravna Rajput community. The BJP had fielded her as its candidate for the councillor election. Celebrations broke out outside the Municipal Corporation headquarters after the result was announced. BJP workers and supporters lifted Sodala onto their shoulders amid the jubilant scenes. A total of 149 councillors participated in the voting, which took place under tight security. Police personnel were deployed at the entrance, and councillors were allowed inside only after security checks. Mayor Sunil Kothari also arrived at the headquarters to cast his vote.

According to the official result, Panwar secured 52 votes, while Abdul Karim received 48.

Voting for the Deputy Mayors post began at 2:30 p.m. Councillors arrived at the municipal office after verification and cast their votes. The result was announced shortly after counting concluded. The BJP had won 45 seats in the municipal elections and later secured the support of seven independent councillors, taking its strength to 52. Congress has 44 councillors, while 10 independents and one Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) councillor were also elected. The majority mark in the 101-member House is 51.

Rajasthan: Independent MLA granted bail in 23-year-old land lease case
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 26 (IANS) Independent MLA from Hanumangarh, Ganeshraj Bansal, who was arrested in connection with a nearly 23-year-old case concerning the alleged fraudulent issuance of two land lease deeds, was granted bail by the District and Sessions Court on Saturday. The court accepted the bail application filed on Bansals behalf. A day earlier, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court had rejected his bail plea and declined the CID-CBs request for an additional seven days of police remand. After completing four days of police remand, the CID-CB produced Bansal before the CJM Court on Friday and sought a further seven days of remand for questioning. The CJM Court rejected the request and ordered Bansal to judicial custody. A bail application was subsequently filed before the CJM Court but was rejected. His legal team then approached the District and Sessions Court. During Saturdays hearing, the court granted bail. Bansal therefore spent four days in police remand and one day in judicial custody following his arrest. A large number of lawyers, Bansals supporters and others gathered at the court complex during the proceedings. His arrest came while the municipal election process was underway in Rajasthan. Police registered two separate cases on September 17 against Bansal, his wife and former Municipal Council Chairperson Santosh Bansal, former Executive Officer Bhanwarlal Soni, and plot owners Krishna Rani and Raj Rani Chugh. The cases relate to allegations of fraudulent issuance of lease deeds and the use of forged documents. According to the allegations, the Hanumangarh Municipal Council issued lease deeds for Plot Nos. 8 and 16 in Sector-9L of Hanumangarh Junction in 2003. Investigators found discrepancies between the information recorded in the lease deeds and the Municipal Councils official records. The allegation is that, based on these details, government land was represented as private land, resulting in the issuance of leases and allegedly providing undue benefits to the beneficiaries. The case also involves an alleged loss of several crores of rupees in government revenue. The CID-CB is investigating the case. According to the investigation timeline, the agency detained Bansal in the Bikaner district area on September 19 and arrested him on September 20 following questioning. He was produced before the court on September 21, when the CID-CB was granted four days of police remand. After the remand period ended, Bansal was produced before the CJM Court on Friday. The court rejected the agencys request for a further seven days of remand and sent him to judicial custody. He subsequently approached the District and Sessions Court, which granted him bail on Saturday.
