Tourists stop to soak in Zojilas beauty
Ganderbal: The iconic Zojila Pass is witnessing a new trend among tourists travelling between Kashmir and Ladakh, with visitors increasingly stopping at the high-altitude pass to enjoy the landscape, sip hot tea and capture photographs and videos. Located at around 14,649 feet above sea level, Zojila is known for its challenging terrain and unpredictable weather. The stretch also remains particularly cold, and even during the summer months, tourists can encounter rain and chilly conditions at the pass. A signboard reading I Love Zojila, installed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), has become a popular spot for tourists to stop and take pictures. During a recent visit, tourists travelling towards Ladakh and Srinagar were seen spending time at the point, clicking photographs, recording reels and enjoying hot tea and snacks at temporary stalls operating along the route. We stayed here for almost half an hour just to capture photographs and videos. The view is beautiful and this is something we will remember, said Rahul Sharma, a tourist from Delhi, who was travelling towards Ladakh with his friends. Another tourist, Neha Verma from Jaipur, said the journey through Zojila was an experience in itself. The road looks challenging and at some places it feels adventurous, but the mountains and the landscape are breathtaking. We stopped here for tea and Maggi and really enjoyed the weather, she said. For Arjun Mehta from Mumbai, the stop at Zojila offered an opportunity to experience the mountain landscape up close. We had planned only a short stop, but after seeing the view and the I Love Zojila sign, we stayed longer for pictures and videos. The cold weather and mountains make this place special, he said. Tourists said that although the Zojila road is considered one of the more difficult stretches on the SrinagarLadakh route, the dramatic mountains, winding road and changing weather make the journey memorable.

Ashok Gehlot questions ECs functioning amid SIR dissent row
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 23 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has questioned the functioning of the Election Commission of India after a report revealed that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had formally raised objections to several decisions taken within the poll panel. Gehlot quoted a recent report that the two Election Commissioners recorded objections at least 14 times over the past 10 months, including concerns over voter registration, deletion of names from electoral rolls and the centralisation of access to the voter database. Reacting to the development, Gehlot said the concerns raised by the two Election Commissioners vindicated the questions that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had been raising about the Election Commission. The entire country is aware of what is happening. There were concerns about the functioning of the Election Commission from the very beginning. Rahul Gandhi had repeatedly raised questions about the Election Commission, and now two of the Election Commissioners themselves have raised objections to decisions being taken within the Commission. Gehlot said the issue was not merely about an individual but about the credibility and independence of a constitutional institution. If two members of the Election Commission are putting their objections on record and saying that important decisions were taken without their knowledge or approval, then this is a matter of serious concern. The country deserves to know how such decisions are being taken. Gehlot also questioned the government's decision to change the law governing the appointment of Election Commissioners and exclude the Chief Justice of India from the selection panel. The independence of constitutional institutions is essential for democracy. When questions are being raised from within the Election Commission itself, these concerns cannot simply be ignored. There must be transparency and accountability. He further said that public confidence in the electoral process was at stake. People, especially the younger generation, need to understand what is happening. Elections are the foundation of democracy. If people's confidence in the electoral process is weakened, it affects the credibility of the entire democratic system. Gehlot maintained that the latest developments made it necessary for the functioning of the Election Commission to be examined transparently. This is a much larger question about democracy and the future of the country. The Election Commission must function independently, transparently and in accordance with the Constitution and the law. The Election Commission, however, has rejected the suggestion that its decisions were taken without the participation of the full Commission. In a response issued on Wednesday, the poll panel said differing views and observations were a normal part of institutional deliberations and asserted that decisions taken over the past year, including those relating to electoral-roll revision and SIR, were unanimous decisions of the full Commission.
Kota: FIR against Cong MLA, 20 others for obstructing official duty on election day
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 23 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday appointed Sanjay Bhatia as its new in-charge for Rajasthan, with Rajya Sabha MP Kavita Patidar and Delhi BJP leader Kuljeet Singh Chahal named as Co-in-charges. The appointments are part of a wider organisational reshuffle covering 28 states and eight Union Territories. The new assignments were announced by BJP President Nitin Nabin and take effect immediately. Bhatia will now oversee the party's organisational affairs in Rajasthan, while Patidar and Chahal will assist him as Co-in-charges. The appointments come as the BJP prepares for the next phase of political activity in Rajasthan, including the state's Panchayati Raj elections. The BJP has also been undertaking organisational preparations at the grassroots level ahead of the upcoming polls. Bhatia, a senior BJP leader, has been given responsibility for Rajasthan as part of the latest national organisational reshuffle. His appointment places him at the centre of the BJP's organisational coordination in the state, where the party is currently in government under Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma. Bhatia will be responsible for coordinating with the State BJP leadership and monitoring organisational activities across Rajasthan.

She hails from Madhya Pradesh and is a member of the BJP's national-level political organisation. Patidar will work alongside Bhatia as part of the new Rajasthan organisational team. Kuljeet Chahal, a Delhi BJP leader and member of the New Delhi Municipal Council, has been appointed the second Co-in-charge for Rajasthan. Chahal has been associated with the BJP's youth organisation and has held organisational responsibilities in Delhi. The Rajasthan appointments are part of a larger BJP organisational exercise covering 36 states and Union Territories. The BJP has appointed new in-charges and Co-in-charges in several states. Among the other major changes, Baijayant Jay Panda has been appointed Maharashtra In-charge, Vinod Tawde has been given charge of Uttar Pradesh, Smriti Irani has been assigned Chhattisgarh and Haryana, and Ram Madhav has been given responsibility for Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. For Rajasthan, the new organisational team is In-charge: Sanjay Bhatia, co-in-charge: Kavita Patidar and co-in-charge: Kuljeet Chahal.

Calls grow for martyr status to ranger killed during anti-mining operation in Rajasthan
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 23 (IANS) Forest Department Ranger Pratap Singh Chundawat, who was killed while leading an operation against illegal mining in Rajasthan's Pratapgarh district, is being widely hailed for his service, with public representatives, forest officials and social organisations demanding that he be accorded martyr status. The demand has gathered momentum in the wake of the ranger's death during a late-night enforcement operation in Chhoti Sadri, where he and his team had acted on information regarding illegal mining and unauthorised transportation of soil in a forest area. ADM Vijayesh Pandya said the request for martyr status was being forwarded to the government, while DFO Suresh Agarwal said the Forest Department would also submit a formal proposal. For Pratap Singh's family, however, the loss is far more personal. The 40-year-old ranger was the sole breadwinner of his household. His death has left his wife, Asha Kunwar, 13-year-old daughter Gunjan, and 8-year-old son Aniruddh without their primary support. The family had already suffered the recent death of Pratap Singh's father. His own death has now deepened the family's grief and uncertainty. Pratap Singh had been posted in Chhoti Sadri around two years ago. During this period, he became actively involved in forest protection, wildlife monitoring, and rescue operations. He participated in rescue efforts involving tigers, leopards, pythons and crocodiles. Colleagues and people familiar with his work also knew him as a skilled marksman and an accomplished swimmer. His work had reportedly earned wider recognition, with his name proposed for a state-level award in recognition of his service. His death came while he was performing one of the most challenging aspects of his official duty, acting against illegal mining and unauthorised transportation of soil in a forest area. Around 11.30 p.m. on Monday, Pratap Singh and his team reached the forest area of Chak Sukhad, near Ghati-wale Balaji in Chhoti Sadri, after receiving information about illegal mining and soil transportation. The team found a JCB, a tractor, and a soil-loaded dumper at the site. During the operation, the dumper was seized. Forest staff member Suresh Meghwal was inside the dumper, while Pratap Singh began returning towards the range office on his Bullet motorcycle. According to the police account, the dumper driver suddenly accelerated the vehicle. The ranger and his motorcycle were allegedly dragged for around 50 metres. Pratap Singh sustained critical injuries and was rushed to hospital, where doctors declared him dead. What began as a routine enforcement operation against illegal mining had turned into a fatal incident, cutting short the life of a forest official who had spent years working in the field. Following the incident, police intensified the investigation and launched a search for the dumper driver. Pratapgarh SP Vishal Jangid said several people had been detained for questioning and that all aspects of the case were being investigated. Three police teams have been deployed to locate the accused driver, and raids are being conducted at different locations, he said. Police have also seized the JCB and tractor found at the site. Investigators are examining the role of the dumper and people allegedly associated with the illegal soil transportation. According to reports, the dumper driver took the vehicle towards the vicinity of his village, unloaded the soil, and then fled. Three people, including JCB owner Harish Thakur, have reportedly been detained for questioning. The person who allegedly commissioned the soil removal is also being questioned. A forensic team has collected evidence from the scene, while the ranger's body was handed over to his family following the post-mortem examination. Pratap Singh hailed from Amrana village in the Medi area of Chittorgarh district. For his wife and two young children, his death means losing not only a husband and father but also the family's principal financial support. His 13-year-old daughter Gunjan and 8-year-old son Aniruddh are now facing a future without the person who was supporting the household. The circumstances are particularly painful for the family as Pratap Singh had himself recently lost his father. His last rites were performed with state honours, amid grief among family members, villagers and colleagues. The demand to accord Pratap Singh martyr status has emerged as one of the central responses to his death. Supporters of the demand point to the circumstances in which he died -- while carrying out an official operation against illegal mining -- and his record of service in forest and wildlife protection. MP CP Joshi has demanded martyr status along with strict action against those responsible. ADM Vijayesh Pandya said the request would be forwarded to the government. DFO Suresh Agarwal has also said the Forest Department will formally submit a proposal to the government. The final decision on the demand rests with the government. The incident has put a focus on forest protection challenges. Pratapgarh has a forest area of approximately 1,319 square km, making enforcement and protection a significant responsibility for the Forest Department. The incident has also brought renewed attention to vacancies, manpower and resource constraints faced by forest officials working across large and difficult terrain. For forest personnel, operations against illegal mining and other unauthorised activities can involve working at night and in remote areas, often in challenging conditions. Pratap Singh's death has therefore become more than a case being investigated by police. It has also prompted questions about the risks faced by field-level forest officials and the support available to them while carrying out enforcement duties. As the police continue searching for the accused dumper driver and the government considers the demand for martyr status, Pratap Singh's family is left to cope with an irreversible loss. For his wife and two children, the ranger who spent his career protecting forests and rescuing wildlife was, above all, the person holding their family together.
