Rajasthan: Romanian tourist dies after falling ill during Shekhawati region visit
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 7 (IANS) A 70-year-old Romanian tourist visiting Rajasthans Shekhawati region died on Saturday after experiencing sudden chest pain and breathing difficulties. She was rushed to hospital but could not be saved. The deceased, identified as Corina Iacob, a resident of Romania, had arrived in India on November 4 as part of a 32-member foreign tourist group. She reportedly developed severe chest pain and breathing difficulties around 9 am on Saturday. Hotel staff immediately arranged for her to be taken to the government hospital in Mukundgarh. After providing initial treatment, doctors referred her to the government hospital in Nawalgarh as her condition remained critical. However, doctors at the Nawalgarh hospital declared her dead upon arrival. Preliminary assessments suggest a possible heart attack, although the exact cause of death will be established after the necessary medical procedures. According to Gopal Singh Thalor, Station House Officer (SHO) of Mukundgarh police station, the 32-member group arrived in India on November 4 to visit various tourist destinations across the country. On Friday evening, around 5:30 pm, the group checked into Vivana Hotel in Churi Ajitgarh, Jhunjhunu district. Iacob was among the tourists staying at the hotel. Her health reportedly remained normal until Saturday morning, when she suddenly complained of severe chest pain and difficulty breathing. Noticing her deteriorating condition, the hotel management promptly arranged medical assistance. Following the tourist's death, Nawalgarh Deputy Superintendent of Police Sugan Singh visited the government hospital to gather information about the incident. He spoke with officials and sought details about the sequence of events. The incident left the other members of the foreign tourist group in shock.

Lawrence Bishnoi gang member Hari Boxer detained in US; process to bring him to India underway
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 7 (IANS) In a major breakthrough in Rajasthan Police's ongoing crackdown on organised crime and criminal gangs, notorious gangster Harichand Jat alias 'Hari Boxer', an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and a wanted fugitive, has been detained in the United States. The operation was carried out under the directions of Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar Sharma as part of the state police's sustained campaign against organised criminal networks. The Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), working under the guidance of Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Dinesh M.N., played a key role in securing the detention. A special team operating under the supervision of Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Deputy Inspector General of Police and Interpol Liaison Officer Yogesh Yadav gathered crucial intelligence and coordinated efforts to trace the fugitive. As part of the international operation, Rajasthan Police facilitated the issuance of a Red Corner Notice against Hari Boxer. It also sent 14 separate references to Interpol across five countries to track his whereabouts and secure action against him. To strengthen the case for his detention, the police submitted a provisional arrest request, an updated and comprehensive dossier containing details of the accused, and his fingerprints to the concerned authorities. Hari Boxer has deep roots in Rajasthan. His birth, upbringing and early journey into the world of crime are all closely linked to the state. His real name is Harichand Jat, and he originally hails from the Bansur area of Rajasthan's Kotputli-Behror district. His father Girdhari Jat is an ordinary farmer from the region. Before entering the world of crime, Harichand reportedly led an ordinary life in his village and aspired to serve the country or the state. A look into Hari Boxer's background reveals that Harichand Jat initially aspired to join the Indian Army or Rajasthan Police. While preparing for competitive examinations, he moved to Jaipur, the state capital. During his stay in Jaipur, he underwent professional boxing training and later started coaching young people in the sport. His association with the boxing ring in Jaipur and his subsequent work as a boxing coach earned him the nickname 'Hari Boxer'. The name gradually became popular among his friends and on social media before gaining recognition in criminal circles as well. The process to bring Hari Boxer back to India is now underway. His detention marks a significant achievement for Rajasthan Police in its efforts to dismantle organised criminal networks and pursue gangsters operating beyond India's borders.
Harry Boxer's extradition to India may take months due to legal hurdles: CBI sources
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Bringing Harry Boxer (Hari Chand Jaat) a notorious shooter of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, from the United States to India is unlikely to be an easy task, as investigating agencies may face several legal hurdles and procedural delays. Although he has been detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California, his extradition could take several months due to legal complications, according to sources. According to CBI sources, Harry Boxer has been detained for immigration violations and not in connection with criminal cases registered against him in India. In the US, he will first have to undergo proceedings before an immigration court, followed by a hearing. Subsequently, India will have to formally submit an extradition dossier under the bilateral Extradition Treaty. The dossier will include forensic evidence, details of FIRs, charge sheets and voice recordings linked to cases registered against him in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Mumbai. The CBI told IANS that the extradition process in the US is lengthy, with the accused having ample opportunities to challenge the proceedings in courts. In several cases, accused persons also seek political asylum, which can further delay the process. Another major challenge is that most of the cases registered against Boxer are being investigated by state police agencies. Therefore, documents related to cases from different states will have to be consolidated into a single dossier and forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs through the CBI. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Mumbai Crime Branch have started submitting documents related to the cases against him to central agencies. Officials said that his extradition to India would not be possible until the US court gives the necessary approval. Harry Boxer, has been detained in the United States following inputs and efforts by Indian law enforcement agencies. Indian security and Intelligence agencies had been closely tracking his movements, particularly after the firing incident outside Bollywood film-maker Rohit Shetty's residence in Mumbai. Boxer, a native of Narayanpur village in Rajasthan, earned the nickname due to his earlier association with sports and his background as a boxing coach in Jaipur. He gradually moved away from his sporting and farming background and entered the criminal underworld. He has been absconding since 2022 and eventually fled India to the United States, where Indian agencies continued to track his activities.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 6 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said on Friday that Jaipur's development must be planned keeping in view both present requirements and future needs. The state government aims to transform Jaipur into an exemplary model of urban development through the expansion, modernisation and systematic development of its infrastructure. The Chief Minister was chairing a review meeting on the functioning of the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) on Friday. He emphasised the need for a comprehensive and effective action plan to ensure smooth traffic movement amid the growing vehicular pressure in the city. He directed officials to prepare a plan for seamless traffic flow, including making key intersections along Jawaharlal Nehru Marg signal-free. He stressed that traffic management measures must also prioritise pedestrian safety and ensure adequate parking facilities. The Chief Secretary V. Srinivas and concerned departmental officials were instructed to conduct on-site inspections to assess the situation and identify necessary interventions. Reviewing the proposed 'High-Tech City' project, the Chief Minister said that Jaipur's proximity to Delhi, coupled with the significant presence of the Rajasthani diaspora across India and around the world, offers immense opportunities for development and investment. Keeping these prospects in mind, he suggested developing a 'High-Tech City' equipped with modern technology, advanced infrastructure and world-class amenities. Reviewing the 'Medi-City' project, Chief Minister Sharma emphasised the need to incorporate modern medical infrastructure and world-class healthcare facilities. He said that both 'High-Tech City' and 'Medi-City' should be developed as landmark projects that define the identity of a 'New Jaipur'. During the meeting, the Chief Minister directed officials to ensure that all development projects are completed within their stipulated timelines. He instructed that clear timelines be established for every project and that progress be regularly monitored. He added that unnecessary delays, negligence or laxity in project execution would not be tolerated at any level. Strict action must be taken against officers and personnel found responsible for such lapses, he said. The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary V. Srinivas, Additional Chief Secretary to the Chief Minister Akhil Arora, Additional Chief Secretary of Urban Development and Housing, Alok Gupta, Principal Secretary (Finance) Vaibhav Galriya, Jaipur Development Authority Commissioner Siddharth Mahajan, and other departmental officials.

Akshay Mhatre recollects his most memorable Diwali celebration away from his family
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 6 (IANS) Actor Akshay Mhatre, who essays the role of Girdhar in the television show Humari Radha, has spoken up on his Diwali celebrations. The actor took a trip down memory lane, sharing his family's festive traditions and why his first Diwali celebration with wife Shrenu remains particularly special. Talking about the same, he said, Diwali has always been a special occasion for my family, and we celebrate it in the traditional Maharashtrian way. One of my favourite rituals is Abhyanga Snan, where we wake up early, apply utna and begin the day with a traditional bath. This is followed by Faral, when the entire family comes together to enjoy the festive delicacies prepared by my mother, and relatives also visit us to celebrate. He also spoke about his most memorable Diwali celebrations in Jaipur, which was incidentally the first time he was celebrating Diwali away from his family. One Diwali that I will always cherish is the first one I celebrated with Shrenu in Jaipur, when we were both away from our families for a shoot. This was also the first time I was celebrating Diwali away from my family. Interestingly, this was even before we started dating, which makes that memory all the more special for us. In a way, it felt like my family was there with me. It is moments like these that make festivals truly memorable, he added. Talking about Humari Radha, Girdhar (played by Akshay Mhatre) grows increasingly fond of Shanaya (played by Vaidehi Nair), while his wife Radha (played by Simaran Kaur), who was once heartbroken by his betrayal, has now decided to fight back. Humari Radha airs every day on Anmol TV.

Jaipur roots of Indian-American Congresswoman-elect from Florida in focus
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 5 (IANS) After her victory in the recent US midterm elections, Pia Dandiya, whose family traces its roots to Jaipur, has emerged as a prominent new face in American politics. A former White House Fellow, Apple employee and educationist, Dandiya has built her career around public service and expanding educational opportunities for underprivileged children. Dandiya contested the US House of Representatives election from Florida's 22nd Congressional District as a Democratic Party candidate. She secured 51.89 per cent of the votes, defeating Republican candidate Casey Askar, who received 48.11 per cent. Her election has also brought attention to her family's connection with Rajasthan's capital, where several of her relatives continue to reside. Dandiya's parents moved from Jaipur to the United States in 1980. She was born and raised in America, but her connection with her ancestral city remained strong. Her father Rohit Dandiya is a physician and an MBBS graduate of Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Medical College in Jaipur. During her childhood, Dandiya frequently visited Jaipur during school holidays to meet relatives. These visits continued until her college years, keeping her connected with her family's hometown. Her mother is associated with the education sector and established a Montessori school in Jupiter, Florida. She received her early education at the institution founded by her mother. Education has been a major part of Dandiya's professional journey. At the age of 28, she established a high school in Harlem in New York, aimed at providing quality education to children from low-income families. She became the school's founding principal and worked to create better academic opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Graduates from the institution have subsequently secured admission to prestigious colleges. Her experience in education and working with underserved communities helped shape her interest in public service and policymaking. Apart from her work in education, Dandiya has also served as a White House Fellow, an experience that gave her exposure to the functioning of the US administration and policymaking. She has also worked at Apple, adding experience in the corporate and technology sectors to her professional profile. Her journey from education to public service and politics eventually brought her into the Democratic Party, where she went on to contest the Congressional election. With her election to the US House of Representatives, Dandiya now begins a new chapter in public life. Her victory has attracted particular interest in Jaipur, where her family's roots and her father's medical education remain an important part of her background.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 5 (IANS) The state government has constituted six task forces to take stringent action against illegal mining, transportation and storage of gravel (bajri) in the Jojari, Bandi and Luni river basins and strengthen monitoring mechanisms. Additional Chief Secretary (Mines and Petroleum) Aparna Arora said that the task forces have been directed to ensure strict compliance with the guidelines issued by the High-Level Ecosystem Oversight Committee, the Honble Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal (NGT). She informed that separate task forces have been constituted for Sirohi, Sojat City, Jalore, Barmer, Jodhpur and Gotan. These teams will regularly monitor and inspect the activities of gravel mining leaseholders to ensure compliance with environmental clearance conditions, adherence to the prescribed maximum mining depth of three metres and maintenance of the mandatory buffer distance from riverbanks. Arora further stated that the task forces would conduct regular field inspections, identify violations and take appropriate action. They will also submit reports on instances of non-compliance, including violations of environmental clearance conditions, mining beyond the permissible depth of three metres, failure to maintain the prescribed distance from riverbanks and extraction of gravel from below the water surface. The state government is pursuing a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal mining activities. Accordingly, the task forces have been instructed to strengthen field-level monitoring and take strict action against illegal activities in accordance with the Government of India's Enforcement and Monitoring Guidelines for Sand Mining, 2020. The task forces have also been empowered to initiate action under Section 23B of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act and the relevant provisions of the Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2017. Each task force constituted by the state government will be headed by an officer of the Assistant Mining Engineer rank and will comprise a geologist, a mining foreman and a surveyor. To ensure transparency and effective enforcement, officials and personnel from other departments have also been included in the teams. The Additional Director (Vigilance) at the headquarters has been designated as the Nodal Officer for coordinating the task forces. Arora directed all officers and personnel assigned to the task forces to ensure strict implementation of the prescribed guidelines and take firm action against violations. She made it clear that negligence or laxity at any level would not be tolerated.
Union Minister Vaishnaw joins Rajasthan CM Sharma in 'Save Democracy, End Anarchy' march in Jaipur
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Nov 5 (IANS) Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday joined Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and other senior BJP leaders in a padyatra (foot march) in Jaipur as part of the partys 'Save Democracy, End Anarchy campaign. The march was organised following a public meeting at Ramlila Maidan and proceeded from New Gate to Tripolia Gate, with BJP leaders and workers carrying party flags and raising slogans in support of the campaign. Addressing the gathering, Vaishnaw struck a light-hearted note while referring to his personal connection with Jaipur, where his in-laws reside. I have a deep connection with Jaipur. I was born and raised on this soil, and I am a son of this land, he said. The meeting was attended by BJP State President Madan Rathore, Chief Minister Sharma, Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa, State BJP in-charge Sanjay Bhatia, senior party leader Arun Chaturvedi and Mayor Sunil Kothari, among others. Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Sharma launched a sharp attack on former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, challenging him to prove any of his allegations wrong. Referring to his earlier remarks at a rally in Jodhpur, Sharma said, When I spoke at the Jodhpur rally, he became rattled, and he will be even more rattled now. I had promised that every question would be answered, and answered with full force. I challenge you to prove even one of my statements wrong. He raised questions about alleged irregularities in the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) and the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), referring to the arrest of an RPSC member and a minister in connection with separate cases. The Chief Minister also questioned the functioning of officials during the previous Congress government and referred to the arrest of Gehlot's Personal Security Officer (PSO) and remarks allegedly made by his Officer on Special Duty (OSD). You are the one lying. If you are right, provide proof. Let us see who is lying and who is telling the truth, Sharma said, adding that his government was focussed on public welfare rather than engaging in politics. BJP State President Madan Rathore accused the Opposition of being desperate to regain power and alleged that it was attempting to create unrest to achieve its political objectives. He also criticised the Congress leadership over its association with individuals who, he alleged, had insulted Lord Ram, questioned national unity and disrespected the national song. Party workers raised slogans such as Modi kahin nahin jayega and Save Democracy, End Anarchy. They also carried posters bearing the message, India will not tolerate the insult to its popular mandate. The march was part of the BJP's campaign against what the party describes as attacks on democratic institutions and the public mandate.

The ceremony commences with the PBG troops, astride their caparisoned, powerful and well-groomed steeds, advancing from behind the Jaipur Column to the tunes played by the Army Brass Band. Thereafter, the Parade Commander marches in, on whose 'word of command' the guard marches in. After inspection, the new guard takes position along the old guard, and both the guards exchange the national salute. Thereafter, the new guard takes over the duties of guards and sentries.
