IPL 2025: An Amazing Experience, Everybodys Been Really Welcoming, Says Southgate
Kolkata Knight Riders: Gareth Southgate, the former England mens football team manager who stepped down after the loss in the 2024 Euro finals, said the time of watching IPL 2025 in India has made for an amazing experience, adding that everyone in the country has been very welcoming towards him. I love the sport, so it's lovely to come here and I've loved coming to India, it's the first time I've been to India, (and) everybody's been really welcoming and it's been an amazing experience, said Southgate in a video posted on iplt20.com on Monday. Southgate was seen in attendance for two of Rajasthan Royals (RR) games against Mumbai Indians in Jaipur and against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata. Last year, Ben Stokes came and talked to the England (football) team and so, also with a lot of the coaches, you learn a lot across sports. So thats really why I am here. Manoj (Bedale, one of RR lead owners), is one of the advisors to the federation when I was there. So, I found him really helpful challenging my thinking and we struck up a good friendship, he added on his reason to be in India during the IPL. Southgate, who also played football for England, reflected on the love he had for cricket in his growing-up years. Very often when you play at Wembley, the crowd is a little bit quieter. I've always been a fan of cricket. When I was a young kid. I used to watch Test matches all day long. I mean, I am going back to the era of Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar and players like that. Then, over the years, got to know a lot of the players when I was playing for England and I knew a lot of the England team. Southgate signed off by telling how being with RR has led to him spending time with legendary cricketers Rahul Dravid and Kumar Sangakkara, who are the franchises head coach and director of cricket respectively. I mean, I am going back to the era of Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar and players like that. Then, over the years, got to know a lot of the players when I was playing for England and I knew a lot of the England team. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS

Jaipur Diary | Girija Vyas death brings Gehlot, Raje together
Udaipur saw a rare political spectacle last Friday as top leaders gathered to pay tribute to veteran Congress leader Girija Vyas. But it wasnt just the condolences that grabbed headlines - it was the unexpected sight of arch-rivals Ashok Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje Scindia sharing the VIP lounge at the airport. The two former CMs, rarely seen together in public, stood side by side, prompting raised eyebrows and hushed chatter. Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra and LoP Tikaram Jully were also present, but the Gehlot-Raje frame stole the show. Clearly, the death of Girija Vyas, considered one of Rajasthans most graceful leaders, managed to conjure a gracious togetherness rapidly disappearing in Indian politics. MLA caught red-handed with bribe money In a sensational first in Rajasthan politics, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Banswara MLA Jaikrishna Patel red-handed while accepting a bribe. The Bharat Adivasi Party leader allegedly demanded a whopping `2.5 crore to withdraw questions he raised in the Assembly about the mining department. The deal was reportedly finalised at his official residence in Jaipur. When a trap was laid, his gunman was caught collecting `20 lakh on his behalf. But heres the clincher: according to the ACB DG, Patels hands turned colour when washed, confirming contact with the tainted cash. We have video proof of him handling the money, ACB said. Katha storytellers eventful Jaipur visit Storyteller Pradeep Mishra made waves in Jaipur after he abruptly halted his seven-day Katha on Day 3, blaming lack of support from the administration unlike in Uttar Pradesh. A meeting with top officials, including the Collector and Police Commissioner, followed. Soon, Mishra released a video saying the katha would resume, and photos of him with CM Bhajanlal Sharma and MLA Balmukund Acharya surfaced, adding a political twist. Earlier, Mishra had sparked backlash by telling girls to avoid showing their navels, comparing it to a dying Tulsi plant. Days ago, he raised eyebrows by likening Amit Shah to Lord Shiva. Spiritual discourses to controversies - Mishras Jaipur visit had it all. Rajesh Asnani Our correspondent in Jaipur rajesh.asnani@newindianexpress.com
Ganagaramaya Temple, one of the oldest temples in Colombo which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited on trips to Sri Lanka, has all the features of a Buddhist Temple a vihara, cetiya, the Bodhi tree, an assembly hall for monks and a relic chamber believed to contain Buddhas hair relics. But for years, there was a mysterious space left empty. For unknown reasons, there were 10 small cubicles next to the main Buddha statue which had the names of Hindu gods and goddesses, says Jayachandra, a businessman who, alongside his wife Nalani Madhushani Wickramarathna, took it upon themselves to fill these spaces. My wife happened to meet the revered Assaji Thero, the head monk of Gangaramaya temple during one of her visits. He casually asked if she could donate the statues of the gods and goddesses. The 10 idols are of Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna, Vishnu, Muruga, Lakshmi, Saraswathy, Kali, and Sri Lankan deities Pattini and Sumana Saman all made of marble. After they were sculpted by craftsmen in Jaipur, Jayachandra consulted Radhakrishna Gollapinni Seshappa, a well-known priest from Bengaluru, to take charge of consecration. He led 10 priests through three days of ceremonies adhering to the shastras, which saw participation from locals across religions. Though a majority of Sri Lankans are followers of Buddhism, there are Hindus from various parts of India who are Sri Lankan residents. In fact, some of the monks have a deep knowledge of Shiva and Kali and their spiritual significance. The decision to consecrate the Hindu Gods in the Buddhist temple, though unique, promotes inter-religious harmony and goodwill, says Seshappa.
Mhatre's 'composure & Temperament' Are Something I'm Most Impressed With: Fleming
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has revealed what impressed him the most about Ayush Mhatre after the 17-year-old turned out to be the biggest positive in the franchise's one of the toughest IPL campaigns. CSK, who are already knocked out of the IPL 2025 playoffs race, fell to a narrow two-run loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday night, despite Mhatre's impressive knock of 94 off 48 balls, which made him a the third player to score a fifty in the IPL at 17 years and 292 days. After the match, Fleming was full of praise for the right-hander and said Mhatre's temperament and composure are something that impressed him a lot. It's sometimes hard to explain, but there's just a quality around what he was doing. But his composure was something that impressed me. He's got talent, he's got hand-eye coordination, he's got a beautiful silky swing. He's aggressive, everything that we like about a modern-day T20 player. But to me it's the temperament and being able to execute in a trial and then on the big stage. So that's what I'm most impressed with. Fleming said in the post-match presentation. We have a pretty relaxed camp, which has always been our style. He has some teammates on the side... (Shivam) Dube is one who has seen a fair bit of him. Again, it comes back to his maturity. He fitted in seamlessly. It's often not what the team around him does, but it's just the way that he behaves. He was very comfortable right from day one. The team was very comfortable with him. Hopefully, it's the start of a long relationship, he added. Mhatre joined CSK as a replacement for captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was sidelined five matches into the season due to an elbow injury. He made his T20 debut in the match against the Mumbai Indians (MI), scoring 32 runs off 15 balls. He followed it up with a quick 30 off 19 deliveries against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). On Saturday in Bengaluru, Mhatre took down statistically the IPL's best powerplay bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, for 26 runs in an over, hitting five fours and a six. A week ago in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scripted history with a 35-ball century, which is the fastest by an Indian player in the IPL and the second-fastest of all time. Fleming further shed light on the surge of teenage prodigies, and said, It's extraordinary to watch that fearless approach. But you've got to have skills as well, and to have the skills that these young players have - and to be able to execute them against some of the best bowlers in the world, is quite remarkable. On Saturday in Bengaluru, Mhatre took down statistically the IPL's best powerplay bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, for 26 runs in an over, hitting five fours and a six.

Jaipur police detain four activists trying to save Dol Ka Baadh forest
JAIPUR: Tension gripped Jaipur on Saturday as police detained four individuals, two student protesters and two environmental activists, during a demonstration against tree-cutting in the Dol Ka Baadh forest. Among those taken into custody was Ashutosh Ranka, a leading face of the Save Dol Ka Baadh campaign to save a vital green lung on the outskirts of Rajasthan's capital city. The detentions came shortly after labourers and machinery sent by the Rajasthan government arrived to begin forest clearing for a controversial government-backed construction project. Activists claim the state government plans to remove nearly 100 acres of dense forest to construct the Prime Ministers Unity Mall, a project being advanced under the name of tribal welfare. The land is also slated for other structures, including a Rajasthan Mandapam, residential complexes, and a revived Fintech Park. Dol Ka Baadh, which has evolved into a thriving forest over the last thirty years, is considered a critical ecological buffer for South Jaipur. The area contains over 2,400 fully grown trees, dozens of medicinal herb species, and native wildlife, making it a rare urban green zone. Locals often refer to it as the regions green lungs. The lands legal history has been fraught with controversy. In 1979, 105 acres in Dol Ka Baadh were officially notified for industrial development. By 1988, the Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation (RIICO) had allotted the land to the Diamond and Gem Development Corporation Limited to develop a Gem Industrial Estate. However, the company failed to initiate construction within the stipulated timeframe, leading RIICO to cancel the allotment in 1996. A year later, the company challenged this decision in the Rajasthan High Court and temporarily regained control of the land. But in 2013, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court ruling, restoring ownership to RIICO, a move seen as pivotal in shaping the areas current legal standing. This is not the first time the forest has faced developmental threats. In 2021, plans by the then-Congress government to build a Fintech Park triggered massive opposition, leading to a citywide Save Dol Ka Baadh movement that included citizens, conservationists, and celebrities. Adding a political layer to the controversy is the fact that Dol Ka Baadh lies within the constituency of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma. Critics point out that several BJP leaders, including current Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari, had previously called for the forests preservation when in opposition. Kumari once even proposed a biodiversity park on the same land. Further fueling criticism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently condemned forest destruction in Telangana for an IT Park, raising questions about the inconsistency of forest conservation policies when his name is now associated with a similar project in Rajasthan.
IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders Seek Win Over Rajasthan Royals To Boost Playoffs Hopes
Kolkata Knight Riders: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are aiming to secure a playoffs spot in IPL 2025. For that to happen mathematically, they need to win their remaining four matches, starting with a home game against the already-eliminated Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon. The task for seventh-placed KKR is easier said than done, considering their home leg form has been poor - only one win coming from five matches. Their batters have been inconsistent - Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer havent been at their run-scoring best while their opening combination never got a settled look. Captain Ajinkya Rahane is also nursing a hand injury which he picked during their 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier this week though it is expected that he will be fit in time for Sundays game. Its the bowling where theres been some solace spin duo of Sunil Narine, who had a brilliant all-round show in Delhi and Varun Chakaravarthy have been at their best. Meanwhile, RR have already been eliminated from the race to playoffs after a string of poor results, including a recent 100-run hammering at the hands of five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Jaipur. Despite this, they can still be dangerous opponents with nothing to lose, as said by Rahane on the Star Sports press room show on Friday. RR's struggles in IPL 2025 have happened due to lack of depth in both batting and bowling departments, including with regular skipper Sanju Samson being injured for a huge period. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been their bright spots with the bat, while the likes of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer havent been in great form. Their bowling attack has also lacked penetration, with the likes of Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana being expensive and ineffective. RR have nothing to lose, but KKR have, as the race to IPL 2025 playoffs intensifies with every outcome. When: Sunday, May 4 at 3:30pm IST Where: Eden Gardens, Kolkata Where to watch: Live telecast on Star Sports Network and live streaming on JioHotstar Squads Kolkata Knight Riders: Ajinkya Rahane (c), Rinku Singh, Quinton de Kock (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakaravarthy, Rovman Powell, Manish Pandey, Harshit Rana, Luvnith Sisodia, Venkatesh Iyer, Anukul Roy, Moeen Ali, Ramandeep Singh, Andre Russell, Anrich Nortje, Vaibhav Arora, Mayank Markande, Spencer Johnson, and Chetan Sakariya.

Southern Railway launches new train from Chennai to Jodhpur
CHENNAI: To cater to the growing demand for travel to Jodhpur and other parts of Rajasthan, Southern Railway is launching a new train service from Chennai to Bhagat Ki Kothi, located about 3.5 km from Jodhpur, a major tourist hub. The new service will operate five days a week and is expected to reduce the black-market sale of Rajasthan-bound tickets, which are often sold by travel agents allegedly at a premium of Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 above the regular fare. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will flag off the inaugural special train on Saturday. Regular operations will commence on May 5 from Chennai Central and May 7 from Bhagat Ki Kothi. Currently, Jodhpur is connected by a weekly train to four key destinations in Tamil Nadu Chennai Egmore, Tiruchy, Rameswaram and Coimbatore. However, many Rajasthan natives who migrated to Tamil Nadu 50-60 years ago and have since settled across the state face significant travel challenges due to the lack of a daily service. The Chennai-Jodhpur and Chennai-Jaipur routes frequently experience huge demand, especially during festivals and summer holidays, resulting in ticket shortage. A Uttam Kumar, a resident of Mannady, shared his experience: Due to the high demand, I used to send my staff to queue up from 6 am at the ticket counter to book Tatkal tickets to Jodhpur. During summer, I often paid travel agents an extra Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 for AC tickets. According to an official release, the new train will depart from Chennai Central at 7.45 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving at Bhagat Ki Kothi at 12.15 pm on the third day. In the return direction, it will leave Bhagat Ki Kothi at 5.30 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, reaching Chennai at 11.15 pm on the next day. The train will consist of the following coaches: 2 AC two-tier, 4 AC three-tier, 4 AC three-tier economy, 6 sleeper class, 4 general second-class, 1 second-class coach equipped for passengers with disabilities, and 1 luggage-cum-brake van. Nagercoil Vande Bharat to run with 20-car rake Chennai: To manage the extra rush, the railways has decided to augment the Chennai Egmore-Nagercoil Vande Bharat Express with four extra chair car coaches starting from May 8. Currently operating with a 16-coach rake, the train will be upgraded to a 20-coach configuration, according to a statement from the Railways.

23-year-old Surat teacher who eloped with 13-year-old student found 5 months preganant
AHMEDABAD: The case of a 23-year-old private tutor from Surat, Gujarat, who eloped with her 13-year-old student and was later found five months pregnant, has sent shockwaves across the country, raising urgent concerns about child safety in informal education settings. The scandal deepened after a medical examination revealed the womans pregnancy, and she claimed that the minor is the father, prompting authorities to order an immediate DNA test. The ordeal began on the afternoon of 25 April, when the teacher, previously a trusted figure in the boys life, vanished with the child in broad daylight, triggering panic and a swift search operation. CCTV footage from their residential society captured the teacher leaving with the boy, a sling bag over her shoulder, indicating premeditation. The teacher had been tutoring the boy for the past three years, and for the last year, he had become her only private student, a closeness that dangerously escalated over time. Police investigations revealed that the alleged sexual abuse took place at the tutors residence and later at a hotel in Vadodara while the pair was on the run. Before fleeing to Surat, the 13-year-old reportedly handed over a few of his clothes to the woman, who later purchased additional items for their escape. Surat teacher abducts 11-year-old student, caught 390 kilometres away after four-day manhunt The pair travelled across several cities-including Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Jaipur, and Vrindavan-before being apprehended near the Gujarat-Rajasthan border after a four-day manhunt. Surat Deputy Commissioner of Police Bhagirath Gadhvi told The New Indian Express, A medical examination has revealed that the woman is five months pregnant. She has claimed that the minor is the father of the child. Based on her statement, we have ordered DNA testing. During questioning, both individuals admitted to having engaged in a physical relationship over several months. A formal case has been registered against the woman under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for kidnapping a minor, alongside serious charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for sexual exploitation. Senior officials have called the incident a grave breach of trust and power, warning of urgent gaps in protections across both formal and informal education spaces. Legal experts have also flagged the glaring ignorance around grooming tactics used by adults in positions of influence. The case remains under intense investigation, with further legal action pending the results of the court-ordered DNA test.

IPL 2025: Clinical MI Win Sixth In A Row, Top Points Table With 100-run Thrashing Of RR (ld)
Despite Kumar Kartikeya Singh: Mumbai Indians (MI) top four batters brought out blazing fireworks to post 217/2 before the bowlers showed relentlessness in their approach to clinch their sixth consecutive win in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and grab the top spot on the points table with a 100-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Thursday. After making a mammoth total, thanks to 61 and 53 by Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma respectively, along with Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya making 48 not out each, MI turned on the heat in their bowling efforts to bowl out a listless RR for 117 in 16.1 overs and get a win in Jaipur for the first time since 2012. The massive margin of victory has meant that MIs net run rate stands at 1.274, which is also the best among all sides. On the other hand, the crushing defeat means RR, who lost half of their side on 47, are now the second team to be eliminated from IPL 2025 after Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rickleton and Rohit, apart from hitting fifties and showcasing great timing in their shots, shared a stellar 116-run opening stand, making it the first century stand MI got from their openers this season. Though they departed in successive overs, an inventive Suryakumar and solid Pandya added 94 runs in just 44 deliveries in their unbroken third-wicket stand to end up at exactly 48 not out off 23 balls each, as MI got 71 runs in the last five overs. With a longer boundary and lateral swing around due to strong winds, RR were able to keep things tight in the first three overs. MI had a scare when Rohit was adjudged lbw by an inswing and slower delivery from Fazalhaq Farooqi and decided to take the review before the timer clocked 15 seconds. Fortunately, Rohit survived as replays showed the ball pitched outside the leg stump. But after that, MI began to tee off Rickleton flicked and pulled Farooqi for four and six before he and Rohit carted Archer for two fours and a six. With Maheesh Theekshana struggling to nail his lengths, Rohit lofted and sliced him for consecutive fours, before Rickelton dispatched him for another boundary, as MI got 42 runs off the last three powerplay overs. Despite Kumar Kartikeya Singh and Akash Madhwals introduction, there was no stopping Rickleton hit three quick boundaries off them, while Rohit dispatched the former for successive fours and even reached the landmark of 6000 runs for MI in IPL. Rickelton then muscled a pull off Kartikeya to bring up a 29-ball fifty, before Rohit brought up his half-century off 31 balls by slicing Theekshana over point. After that, RR made a mini-comeback Rickleton castled by a straight delivery from Theekshana, while Rohit reached out to a wide ball off Riyan Parag and holed out to long-off. Suryakumar hit the ground running by hitting three boundaries in his first six balls, with the uppercut and late slice being the standout shots, before sweeping Theekshana for six. Suryakumar continued his solid show by swatting Archer for six, before a solid Pandya, who had hit two boundaries by then, lofted Farooqi for four and six respectively, before taking consecutive fours off him, as 21 runs came off the 18th over. Suryakumar brought up MIs 200 by lapping Archer for four before he and Pandya took a boundary each off Madhwal in the final over as both batters finished on a similar score off the same number of balls. In defence of the mammoth total, MI were on the money from the word go. Deepak Chahar had young Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hit a whirlwind 35-ball century in the last game, mistime to mid-on for a two-ball duck. Yashasvi Jaiswal smacked Trent Boult for two sixes, but the pacer bounced back by castling Jaiswal in the same over. Nitish Rana was next to fall, pulling one to the deep square leg off Boult, while Riyan Parags relentless test by short balls resulted in him giving a top-edge to mid-wicket off Jasprit Bumrah. The short ball from Bumrah took Shimron Hetmyer out on the very next ball, as mid-wicket held on to a sharp catch. After RR ended their power-play at 62/5, Shubham Dubey tried delaying the inevitable with a nine-ball 15, laced with three boundaries. But there was no stopping RRs slide as Dubey holed out to long-on off Hardik Pandya, while Dhruv Jurels attempt to paddle sweep off Karn Sharma took the glove edge, and the leg-spinner ran forward to take the catch off his bowling. Karn, introduced as the impact player, then had a double strike against his name in the 12th over, before Boult finished it off by having Jofra Archer caught at short fine leg and ending his cameo on 30, as five-time IPL champions MI secured a statement win. Brief scores: Karn, introduced as the impact player, then had a double strike against his name in the 12th over, before Boult finished it off by having Jofra Archer caught at short fine leg and ending his cameo on 30, as five-time IPL champions MI secured a statement win.

IPL 2025: Karn's And Boults Three-fers Help MI Get Sixth Straight Win, Go On Top Of Points Table
Indian Premier League: Karn Sharma and Trent Boult picked three wickets each as Mumbai Indians (MI) clinched their sixth consecutive win in IPL 2025 and the top spot on the points table with a 100-run thrashing of Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday. After making a mammoth 217/2, thanks to fifties from Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma, along with Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya making 48 not out each, MI were relentless in their bowling efforts to bowl out a listless RR for 117 in 16.1 overs to get their first win in Jaipur for the first time since 2012. The massive margin of victory has meant that MIs net run rate stands at 1.274, which is also the best among all sides. On the other hand, the crushing defeat means RR are now eliminated from IPL 2025. In defence of the mammoth total, MI were on the money from the word go. Deepak Chahar had young Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hit a whirlwind 35-ball century in the last game, mistime to mid-on for a two-ball duck.

Relief for mother as infant Pakistani daughter allowed to stay amid deportation orders
JAIPUR: In a significant relief for an Indian mother, one-and-a-half-year-old Adarshni, a Pakistani citizen by birth, has been granted special permission to remain in India with her mother, Bhaur Rashmi. The decision comes in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam , which led the Indian government to issue an order mandating that all Pakistani citizens on short-term visas leave the country within 48 hours. This sudden directive placed Rashmi and her daughter in a deeply distressing situation. Rashmi, an Indian citizen by birth, had married Dhanpat Singh Sodha, a resident of Amarkot in Pakistan, three years ago. However, she never acquired Pakistani citizenship and continues to hold an Indian passport. Their daughter, Adarshni, born in Pakistan, is officially recognised as a Pakistani national. On April 3, 2025, Rashmi travelled to her parental home in Jaitsar in Rajasthan with her daughter. But following the government's deportation orders, Adarshni was suddenly prohibited from remaining in India, raising the alarming possibility that the toddler might be sent back to Pakistan alone. After urgent appeals and persistent efforts by the family, senior officials in the central government have finally intervened. Special permission has been granted for Adarshni to stay in India with her mother, lifting the immediate threat of separation and allowing the family to remain united. Sri Ganganagar Superintendent of Police, Gaurav Yadav, confirmed to the media that, as per instructions from higher authorities, the girl's family was informed of the required procedures. Following compliance, the girl is now safely residing with her mother in India. Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has issued updated guidelines offering relief to Pakistani nationals residing in India on Long-Term Visas (LTVs). Under the revised directive, LTV holders are not required to leave the country, providing significant respite to many who are legally settled in India. In the last 7 days alone, more than 362 Pakistani nationals in Rajasthan have had their LTVs approved and formally registered. Officials also clarified that people whose LTV applications are still pending or under consideration are exempt from deportation for the time being. Notably, Pakistani Muslim women married to Indian citizens and residing in India on LTVs are also not being asked to return under the new rules. A large number of Pakistani refugees, particularly Hindus, have settled in Rajasthans border districts such as Jaisalmer, Barmer, and especially Jodhpur. Cross-border marriages are common in these areas, often leading to complex situations where families are split, with some members living in India and others either stuck in or being asked to return to Pakistan. In at least three to four documented cases, mothers and children hold citizenship from different countries, typically a result of birth circumstances, creating emotional and bureaucratic challenges. Many of these families continue to live in uncertainty, awaiting either a resolution or more comprehensive reforms to address their cross-border realities.

Former Indian Mujahideen operative arrested in Jharkhand for resuming terror activities with HuT
RANCHI: The Jharkhand Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which is probing the states Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) module, has arrested a former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative who rejoined terror activities after spending a decade behind bars. The suspect, identified as Ammar Yashar (33), was arrested from Shamsher Nagar under Shamshar Bhuli OP in Dhanbad. According to police sources, the ATS also seized a mobile phone and several banned documents from his possession. He was produced in court on Thursday and subsequently sent to jail. After being released from prison in 2024, Yashar allegedly resumed involvement in terrorist activities. This time, he was reportedly engaged in anti-national activities through his association with Hizb ut Tahrir, said DGP Anurag Gupta. According to ATS officials, Yashar was earlier associated with the banned terrorist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen and was arrested by Jodhpur Police in 2014. He was released in May last year after spending 10 years in jail. Following his release, he re-established contact with HuT operatives, including his associate Ayan Javed. Three cases have been lodged against Yashar, all in Jodhpur and Jaipur in Rajasthan. Information about Yashars renewed involvement came to light during the interrogation of Ayan Javed, a HuT member earlier remanded to ATS custody. Javed reportedly revealed several details that led to the seizure of suspicious documents from Yashar, linking him to the banned group. In a broader crackdown on terror networks, the Jharkhand ATS on Saturday arrested four more individuals from Dhanbad for alleged links to banned organisations Hizb ut-Tahrir and Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). Those arrested were identified as Gulfam Hasan (21), Aayan Javed (21), Md Shahzad Alam (20), and Shabnam Parveen (20), the wife of Aayan Javed. During the raids, the ATS recovered two pistols, 12 bullets, multiple books and documents linked to banned outfits, along with over half a dozen mobile phones and laptops. Hizb ut-Tahrir, founded in Jerusalem in 1953, was banned by the Indian government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on 10 October 2024. The organisations stated aim is to establish a global Islamic Caliphate and overthrow democratically elected governments through radicalisation and extremist activities.

Janhvi Kapoor Speaks Out On Jaipur Tragedy
The actress expressed profound grief over the incident and used her platform to highlight the alarming rise in accidents caused by intoxicated driving.
Star Cast:Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh Director:Raj Kumar Gupta Raid 2 Movie Review Synopsis: RAID 2 is the story of an honest officer and a corrupt-cum-shrewd politician. The year is 1989. Income Tax Officer Amay Patnaik (Ajay Devgn) raids the palace of Raja Kunwar (Govind Namdeo) in Jaipur and confiscates truckloads of black money. Rajas manager offers a bribe and surprisingly, Amay accepts the offer. He gets caught and is transferred to Bhoj. The town is ruled by Manohar Dhankar aka Dada Bhai (Riteish Deshmukh). Hes also a cabinet minister and is seen as a philanthropist. Hence, the residents of Bhoj worship him and are ready to go to any lengths for him. Amay is surprised to see that hes unable to find a single clue of money hoarding or corruption against Dada Bhai or any other resident. Realizing that something is fishy, Amay starts looking around and interacts with the local residents to find out more information. Soon, he comes across evidence that makes it clear that Dada Bhai is corrupt. Amays senior Anjani Kaul (Rajat Kapoor) approves the raid. Amay and his team of officers at the Income Tax Department, Bhoj commence the raid at Dada Bhais residence, office, and a five-star property. Amay is confident that hell find a lot of black money hidden in his properties. Sadly, hes unable to find a single instance of unaccounted money. Amay soon realizes that Dada Bhai is possibly the shrewdest corrupt suspect that he has come across. Amay is compelled to change his strategies so that he can expose Dada Bhai. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Raid 2 Movie Story Review: Ritesh Shah, Raj Kumar Gupta, Jaideep Yadav and Karan Vyas's story is one level up compared to the first part, RAID [2018]. Ritesh Shah, Raj Kumar Gupta, Jaideep Yadav and Karan Vyas's screenplay is captivating and is peppered with some entertaining and dramatic moments. In a few places, however, the writing could have been tighter. Ritesh Shah, Raj Kumar Gupta, Jaideep Yadav, and Karan Vyas's dialogues are witty and add to the humour quotient. Raj Kumar Gupta's direction is simple. He also makes sure that the film has enough commercial value so that it can reach out to a large section of the audience. He also has a certain sensibility, which he doesnt compromise on. The balance achieved is praiseworthy. He has chosen an intriguing plot. The challenges Amay faces this time are a lot more, as the antagonist is way more sharp-minded and a genius compared to the villain in the first part. The character of the mother (Supriya Pathak Kapur) and the depiction of Sushma Jankalyan Foundation stand out. The first half is decent and Raj Kumar Gupta reserves the best for the second half. This is where the film shows his true brilliance. On the flipside, Dada Bhais rise in politics seems unconvincing and sudden. One can understand him winning the local election and maybe becoming a minister in the state government. Instead, he is catapulted as a central cabinet minister! The interest levels dip in the first half. Even the investigation of Amay Patnaik in the post-interval portions, though important to the film, doesnt excite the audience much. The character of Punit Sahni (the Sardar batchmate of Amay; played by Sandeep Kapoor) fails to make a mark. The character of Raja Kunwar is introduced in a dramatic fashion, but hardly has anything to do. RAID 2 begins on a fine note. Amays entry is predictable, but nevertheless, it works well. Dada Bhais entry is even more dramatic, and its a very unusual intro scene for a villain. The scene where Amay meets the Bhoj office colleagues is interesting. The interest then rises once Amay conducts the raid. The intermission point promises a smashing second half. The second half commences well with an item number. The film then falls and thankfully, gets better with the entry of Lallan Sudheer (Amit Sial). From here, the film remains steady. The climax is the best part of the enterprise and would be greeted with applause. Raid 2 (Trailer): Ajay Devgn | Riteish Deshmukh | Vaani Kapoor Raid 2 Movie Review Performances: Ajay Devgn is in his element yet again. He keeps his act restrained and that works for his character. However, in a few scenes, his dialogues are not audible. Riteish Deshmukh is terrific and does complete justice to the part of the antagonist. In several scenes, his eyes do all the talking, which is also quite commendable. After EK VILLAIN [2014], the actor proves yet again that hes versatile and that filmmakers should see him in roles beyond comedy as well. Vaani Kapoor (Malini) hardly has anything to do. Amit Sial is the surprise package and contributes immensely to the laughter quotient. Performance-wise, hes first-rate. Another scene stealer in the film is Shruti Pandey (Geeta ji). Supriya Pathak Kapur plays a crucial character and is lovely. Rajat Kapoor lends able support. Saurabh Shukla (Rameshwar Singh aka Tauji) is great. However, his character barely has much to do. The same goes for Govind Namdeo. Yashpal Sharma (Devinder Gehlot) does well, as always. However, one expects more from him because of the way his character was introduced. Pritisha Srivastava (Mini) is cute. Sanjeev Jhori (Ashok), Brijendra Kala (Vinay Bakaya) and Ayushi Neema (Anita) lend able support. Samayar Singh (Vikram Ghadiyal) and Ikram Khan (Kamal Chauhan; IAS officer) are okay. Tamannaah Bhatia is sizzling. Raid 2 movie music and other technical aspects: 'Kamle'and'Tumhe Dillagi'fail to impress and act as speed breakers.'Nasha'is catchy and will be loved by the front benchers.'Money Money', played during the end credits, is also enticing. Amit Trivedi's background score (additional background score by Amar Mohile) is one of the strong points of the film. Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary's cinematography is satisfactory. Rita Ghosh's production design is in sync with the bygone era. Naveen Shetty, Mehak Shetty and Priyanka Castelino's costumes are realistic. The same goes for R P Yadav's action. Sandeep Francis's editing could have been sharper in the first half. Raid 2 Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, RAID 2 makes a strong and enduring impact, driven by its gripping drama, a formidable antagonist, and a second half that strikes an engaging balance between entertainment and intensity - culminating in a climactic sequence that stands out as the films crowning achievement. At the box office, the film is well-positioned to capitalize on a four-day weekend and the advantage of minimal competition in the immediate release calendar.
When art often mirrors society in its purest form, change towards a better world is not a dream so far away. For Jainil Mehta, a renowned dancer and choreographer, dance as a form is a powerful tool to reflect on society and explore themes like community and identity through simple yet powerful narratives. Known for his revolutionary #meninskirts [dance] movement showing him dancing in the streets of New York wearing a skirt (which took social media by storm), Mehta is ready to set the stage on fire with his new dance production, Sam-Aaj. Sam-Aaj is a culmination of two words that correlate to the characters Samir (played by Mehta) and Miraaj (played by Shubham Mahawar). Sam-Aaj is broken up into two words sam as in balance and aaj meaning today, which talks about how we change over time as individuals; we grow as individuals, we grow in relationships and sometimes we grow out of relationships. This change is inevitable, he reveals. Blending poetry, music, movements and a story, Sam-Aaj is more than a mere dance performance but a dance narrative. Art is boundless, it includes all points of view, from religious, political, social, and psychological perspectives. I have interacted with so many people: my family, my friends and from their experiences, I have built this beautiful story. From his early childhood days when he used to dance, wrapping his mothers saree, to now, Mehta has come a long way. When I was a child, I used to steal moms clothes, lock myself up in the room and dance. That came alive when I was around 20 [when the #meninskirts video went viral in 2022]. I always loved the flair and grace of skirts and the fabric so I wanted to use it in my dance. Suddenly, it blew up, Mehta shares, recounting his #meninskirts movement. According to Mehta, the movement helped him embrace his imperfections and boldness, eventually leading to the creation of Sam-Aaj. Dancer Jainil Mehta With the performance, Mehta hopes to deliver a warm feeling to the audience. I wanted to leave people with a cosy feeling and I want to talk about finding balance in our everyday lives, he confides. He also hopes to convey a simple message on love and acceptance. The touring journey so far has been anything but smooth with disruption from conservative forces. We had a protest from RSS organisations in Jaipur, saying that it [the theme of the production] is not a part of the Indian value system and the sanskriti of India, so the theatre had to cancel, he reveals, adding, But we did perform at the Jaipur Jantar Hostel. The response has been absolutely positive. Despite these challenges, he hopes Bengaluru will embrace the production. Bengaluru is an experimental hub for art, Im hoping that the audience welcomes us with open arms, he concludes. (Sam-Aaj will be held on May 3 at Medai-The Stage, Koramangala, at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced at 699, allevents.in)

Rajasthan to join Indias first cheetah conservation corridor with Madhya Pradesh
JAIPUR: Rajasthan is all set to become a part of Indias first cheetah reintroduction project, currently operational in Madhya Pradesh. A wildlife corridor spanning 17,000 square kilometers will be developed across both states, allowing cheetahs to roam freely in a protected and connected habitat. The corridor will link Palpur Kuno National Park and Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh with the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan. As part of the plan, seven districts in Rajasthan Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, and Chittorgarh will be integrated into the project. Speaking in Jaipur on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasised the success of the cheetah project, describing it as a unique initiative in Asia. It is a matter of pride that cheetahs are thriving here. This is among the most successful wildlife conservation efforts globally, he said. Yadav also stated that the project would now move forward in collaboration with Rajasthan. Highlighting past joint efforts, the MP Chief Minister recalled the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal river linking project, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We are confident that both states will progress together on this project under the leadership of the Prime Minister, he added. According to the action plan released by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has designated the Kuno-Gandhi Sagar landscape as a suitable cheetah habitat. Of the total corridor area, 10,500 square kilometers fall within Madhya Pradesh, while 6,500 square kilometers are in Rajasthan. The corridor will enable cheetahs to move from Kuno National Park through the Mukundara Hills Reserve in Rajasthan to Gandhi Sagar. Discussions are also underway to include parts of Uttar Pradesh, specifically the forest areas of Jhansi and Lalitpur, within the extended landscape. An official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan is in the pipeline. The proposal has reached the Chief Ministers of both states and is awaiting final approval. During his visit to Jaipur, CM Mohan Yadav met with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. Sources suggest that discussions on the cheetah corridor were held, and the signing of the MoU is expected soon.

In a parallel development, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs has issued new guidelines offering relief to Pakistani nationals living in India on Long Term Visas (LTVs). As per the updated directive, LTV holders are not required to leave the country, providing significant respite to many individuals residing in India legally. Over the past three days, 362 Pakistani nationals in Rajasthan have had their LTVs approved and formally registered. Officials have clarified that applicants whose LTV cases are pending or under consideration are also exempt from deportation. Notably, Pakistani Muslim women married to Indian citizens and residing in India on LTVs are also not being asked to return to Pakistan under the revised rules. A significant number of Pakistani refugees, especially Hindus, have settled in the border districts of Rajasthan, including Jaisalmer, Barmer, and particularly Jodhpur. In many cases, families have been split due to cross-border marriageswhere one half of the family is in India while the other remains in Pakistan or faces pressure to return. In at least three to four reported instances, mothers hold passports from one country, while their children have obtained citizenship in another, typically due to birth circumstances. These families now face the emotional and logistical burden of separation until new regulations are introduced or the situation stabilizes.
JAIPUR: Following India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty after the Pahalgam incident, water from the Sindhu, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers, currently flowing into Pakistan, may soon be redirected to benefit northern states like Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab. As part of this plan, efforts to revive the long-extinct Saraswati River in Rajasthan will also be expedited. In a significant development, Rajasthan and Haryana officials met scientists in Jaipur on Monday to discuss reviving the Saraswati river. A team from Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Government of Denmark will map the river's ancient paleo channel to trace and restore its original flow. Once the flow route is identified, encroachments and other obstructions along the riverbed will be cleared. The Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI), Jodhpur, and IIT-BHU have also agreed to support the initiative. The meeting, held at the Birla Institute of Scientific Research in Jaipur, was organised by the Haryana Saraswati Heritage Development Board. Rajasthan Water Resources Minister Suresh Singh Rawat and HSHDB Vice President Dhuman Singh led detailed discussions on the project's roadmap. It was decided that Rajasthan would set up a dedicated social cell to create awareness and accelerate progress on the revival efforts. Speaking on the occasion, HSHDB vice-chairman Dhuman Singh said, The Saraswati river will become a lifeline for both Haryana and Rajasthan. Together, we will trace its flow and work towards its revival. Minister Rawat emphasised Rajasthan's proactive stance on inter-state water issues. The state government has already taken the initiative to revive the Saraswati river. Representatives from the Danish Embassy have requested the involvement of both Central and State Ground Water Departments to strengthen this important collaboration, he said. Notably, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Water Resources Department and the Danish Embassy during the Rajasthan Investment Summit held a few months ago. Denmark has pledged its support for the scientific revival of Saraswatis paleo channels and has called for deeper involvement of relevant groundwater authorities.

Rajasthan Education Department website hacked; message from 'Pakistan Cyber Force' displayed
JAIPUR: The official portal of Rajasthan's Education Department was targeted in a cyber attack on Tuesday that modified the portal's homepage to display a series of inflammatory messages under the name of 'Pakistan Cyber Force.' One of the messages claimed that the Pahalgam terror attack was orchestrated internally, calling it an 'inside job.' Another described the incident as a false flag by the Indian government, designed to incite conflict and religious division. The hackers also posted offensive comments about Himanshi Narwal, wife of the late Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, whose image sitting beside her husbands mortal remains were recently circulated widely on social media. Soon after the breach was discovered, the department's website was taken down. Education Minister Madan Dilawar condemning the Cyber Attack remarked, The IT wing of the Education Department has been activated. At present, the website has been temporarily shut down, and recovery efforts are underway at a rapid pace. We have also informed cybersecurity agencies about the incident. An investigation has been launched to identify the group responsible for the cyberattack and to assess the extent of the damage. So far, there is no confirmation of any sensitive data being leaked. However, a comprehensive audit of all systems is being conducted to ensure the security and integrity of our data, he further added. Experts Call for Urgent Cybersecurity Reforms Cyber experts have raised red flags over the ongoing misuse of government digital assets. They estimate that over 20 lakh pages linked to state departments across the country have been hijacked by cybercriminals. In Rajasthan alone, over 8 lakh such pages are believed to have been compromised, including several from the Home Department and district-level police units. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and frequent, experts stress the urgent need for robust digital security frameworks and better monitoring to protect government web infrastructure.

Fake websites offering safari bookings in Karnataka tiger reserves spark forest department warning
BENGALURU: If the increasing cases of poaching and man-animal conflict were not enough, officials of the Karnataka forest department now have another problem on their hands. A fake website is offering safari bookings in the tiger reserves of Karnataka and Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP). In case of BBP and Nagarahole Tiger Reserve (NTR), the fake website has been identified and cases are being filed, but it is yet to be done in case of other tiger reserves in the state. Forest officials have warned tourists and citizens not to fall for it, and have suggested that bookings be done either through registered and publicised government department portals or visit forest patches and BBP to make their bookings. Creation of the website Bannerghatta National Park has caught the attention of the state forest department. There is no website of Bannerghatta National Park with the Karnataka forest department offering safari, as it is a reserve forest patch. While going through the internet, this fake website was found. It is offering safari tickets at Rs 2,000 for adults and Rs 1,000 for children. After making the payment, a receipt with transaction reference details is generated, but there are no other safari details, BBP Executive Director Surya Sen told TNIE. There is no information of the type of safari and when (date/time) it is. When the given mobile number was contacted, it was found to belong to a Jaipur-based travel agency. The person seemed to have a lot of details of BBP, but was unable to generate the safari tickets for which it was charging, Sen added. He said citizens must be cautious and not fall for fake websites. The BBP has a dedicated website (bannerughattabiopark.org) for booking tickets, which gives all details. He pointed out that the department is working with Bannerghatta police to file a complaint. Similar is the situation with NTR. Fake safari bookings through websites is being done for all tiger reserves and is a concern. The matter has been red-flagged, said Seema PA, Director, NTR. Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Wildlife, Subhash B Malkhade said the matter is being looked into and action will be taken.
Karnataka HC orders SIT probe into drone data theft, urges cybercrime unit creation
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court ordered the Karnataka government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe a case of data theft from a private company supplying drones to the defence sector as the city cybercrime police failed to conduct a proper investigation allegedly due to the influence of a deputy commissioner of police from Rajasthan and an ACP from Bengaluru. The court directed the state government to give life to the Cyber Command Centre (CCC) or constitute a separate wing, which could be a Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau -- on the lines of City Crime Branch, to tackle the growth of cybercrime. Justice M Nagaprasanna passed the order, allowing a petition filed by Newspace Research and Technologies Pvt Ltd, seeking directions to constitute the SIT, alleging an improper investigation by the CEN police of North East Division in Bengaluru. The court directed that the SIT should comprise Director General of Police Pranab Mohanty and two IPS officers Bhushan Gulab Rao Borase and Nisha James and it should be handed over the investigation immediately. The court directed that the copy of its order should be given to the chief secretary and principal secretary of the Home Department for compliance. It directed the SIT to submit the report within three months. The court said, It is again in public domain that the State of Karnataka recognising the huge problem of cyber crime, has in fact come up with a novel idea of a CCC, to be headed by an officer of the rank of Director General of Police. If a CCC is established to combat cyber crimes and strengthen cyber security, it would usher a new beginning of tackling new-age crime with new-age investigating centres. This is the paradigm shift that is imperative. Such CCCs should be made meaningfully functional by appropriate officers manning them. It is only then the state will leap forward to tackle the emergency and growth of cybercrime, failing which, the citizen who has been a victim of cybercrime or cyber fraud will never get justice. The petitioner, involved in the manufacture of drones for the services, registered the crime on December 25, 2024, accusing its three former employees - Prabhat Sharma, Anirudh Putsala and Akash Patil - of stealing data and starting their own company, compromising the security of the nation. The accused conspired to steal sensitive proprietary information for the benefit of a rival firm called Lenviz Technologies, where they are now employed, it alleged. The alleged stolen information pertains to cutting edge UAV, the complaint stated. During the hearing, it came to light that the accused were not taken into custody despite bail not granted to them. After an interim order on March 20, 2025, the police visited Noida and arrested the accused. They later issued a notice to the accused under Section 35(3) of the BNSS to appear for inquiry, which was to be done before the arrest. The court was informed that they disappeared after the notice was issued. Noting that the notice after the arrest is the first needle of suspicion on a fake investigation being conducted, the court appointed a court commissioner, who visited the residence of the accused, Prabhat Sharma. The Court Commissioner reported that during the seizure procedure at Prabhats place, a technical staff member, Manoj, received continuous phone calls from individuals claiming to be a DCP from Jaipur and an ACP from Bengaluru. They tried to interfere with the operation and instructed us to vacate the premises, warning of unusual circumstances. The ACP from Bengaluru specifically enquired what are you doing with a group of 12-14 people at the raid location despite being informed by DCP Jaipur to vacate the premises? the court commissioner stated.
Rajasthani mother stranded in India but infant daughter faces return to Pakistan alone
JAIPUR: Amidst the escalating tensions since the Pahalgam attack, a deeply disturbing story has emerged from Rajasthan where a young mother, Bhor Rashmi, now faces the unimaginable - her infant daughter may have to return to Pakistan without her. A resident of Jaitsar in Sri Ganganagar district, Bhor Rashmi was married three years ago to Dhanpat Singh Sodha, a resident of Amarkot, Pakistan. Their daughter, Adarshini, was born in Pakistan. Rashmi and her daughter arrived in India on 3 April, but their visa expired on 27 April. However, Rashmi does not possess a Pakistani passport and remains an Indian citizen on paper, whereas Adarshini is a Pakistani citizen by birth. Following the Indian governments directive that Pakistani citizens must return within 48 hours after the Pahalgam attack, Adarshini is now required to go back to Pakistan - all alone. With the child's visa set having expired this Sunday, Rashmis family is desperately trying to secure an extension in the hope of keeping Adarshini in India for a little longer. Local police officer Imran Khan confirmed that the girl's maternal grandfather and family have been instructed to reach the Attari border with the necessary documents. The police, however, have no information regarding any possibility of a visa extension. As the government is yet to provide any relaxation, Rashmi and her infant daughter face a hugely uncertain future. Clearly, the bitterness in India-Pakistan relations is extracting huge human costs for ordinary people in countless ways.

Kharge lashes out at PM Modi for skipping all-party meet on Pahalgam attack
JAIPUR: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for skipping the all-party meeting called to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 people dead. It is the misfortune of the country that when the pride of the country was hurt, you (PM Modi) were giving an election speech in Bihar, he said addressing the 'Samvidhan Bachao' rally here. Leaders of all parties attended the all-party meeting, but it is sad that PM Modi did not come to that meeting. Was Bihar far away? The PM should have come to the all-party meeting and explained the plan. What help does he need from us? he said. Further attacking the Prime Minister, he said, Modi gave inflation and unemployment. Such people weaken the country. The 56-inch chest has shrinked. In the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Modi had said that it takes a 56-inch chest to convert Uttar Pradesh into Gujarat in terms of development. Kharge said Congress leaders had decided that it will support the government in its action as the country is supreme. Country is supreme, then come parties, religion. Everyone should be united for the country, he said. He said the Congress talks about unity, but the BJP talks of breaking it. In this country, the Constitution is supreme and our democracy runs under the Constitution, he said. Attacking the government over alleged misuse of investigative agencies and raids on Congress leaders, he said, Whenever Congress grows, these people try to suppress it. We are not the ones to be suppressed. He alleged that BJP leaders are trying to weaken everyone but they cannot weaken democracy by filing false cases against people.

Cross-border families crumble as tensions rise
JAIPUR: The heightened tension in India-Pakistan relations since the terror attack in Pahalgam has disrupted the lives of countless ordinary folk. Taking a tough stance, the Indian government has revoked the visas of Pakistani citizens and directed them to return to their country. This decision has shaken the lives of several Pakistani citizens and families who have recently come to Rajasthan, which shares the longest common border with Pakistan. Among the worst-hit is the love story of two youths from Jaisalmer, which flourished in Pakistan two years ago and culminated in their marriage but has now fallen prey to sudden orders from the government. Cousins Saleh Mohammad and Mushtaq Ali, residents of Devikot in Jaisalmer, went to meet their aunt in the Ghotki district of Sindh province of Pakistan in July 2023. There, they fell in love with two girls named Karam Khatun (21) and Sachul (22). The two couples entered wedlock in August 2023 with the families consent. Despite the Nikah, the brides could not get a visa to India, but the grooms had to return in September 2023. After a wait of about one and a half years, the brides finally got their visas, came to Jaisalmer on April 11, and started living with their husbands and their families. Heartbreak amid exodus: Separations on both sides Just 10 days later, the terror attack in Pahalgam shattered their new-found wedded bliss. With the Modi government ordering Pakistani citizens to leave India, the brides father-in-law Haji Abdullah is now a worried man. He says, After the brides arrival in India, we had applied for a long-term visa. But after the government order, police is pressuring us to send them back to Pakistan. The administration is bent on sending the young brides back to Pakistan. How will these two go their in such tense times, Abdullah wonders. A similar situation confronts a family of 18 from Tando Allahyar district of Pakistan who have come to Rajasthans Barmer just last weekend. On Saturday, this Hindu family requested the government to let them stay in India.

Families in Rajasthan with cross-border ties hit hard as India revokes visas for Pakistani citizens
JAIPUR: The recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam has intensified tensions between India and Pakistan, disrupting the lives of countless ordinary people. In response, the Indian government has taken a firm stance by cancelling the visas of Pakistani citizens and ordering them to return home. This move has deeply impacted many Pakistani individuals and families, particularly those who had recently arrived in Rajasthan, the state sharing the longest border with Pakistan. Among the worst-hit is the love story of two youths from Jaisalmer, which flourished in Pakistan two years ago, led to their marriage, but has now also fallen prey to the sudden orders from the government. After a love marriage in Pakistan in the year 2023, the two brides, Sachul and Karma Khatoon, have to return to Pakistan, just 13 days after coming to their in-laws' house in Jaisalmer. While the mehndi on the brides' hands has yet to fade, orders have arrived for them to return to their parental homes in Pakistan, casting a shadow of sadness over their husbands' homes in Jaisalmer. Cousins Saleh Mohammad and Mushtaq Ali, residents of Devikot in Jaisalmer, had gone to meet their aunt in Ghotki district of Sindh province of Pakistan in July 2023. There, they fell in love with two girls named Karam Khatun (21) and Sachul (22). After the consent of the families, the Nikah of both was done in August 2023. Despite the Nikah, both the brides could not get a visa to India but the grooms had to return to India in September 2023 and started waiting for their brides to come to India after getting their visas. After waiting for about one and a half years, both the brides finally got their visas from the Government of India in April 2025. Both promptly came to Jaisalmer on 11 April and started living with their husbands and their family. Just 10 days later on 22 April, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam has shattered their new-found wedded-bliss. With the Modi government ordering Pakistani citizens to leave India, the bride's father-in-law Haji Abdullah is now a worried man. He says that after the arrival of both the brides in India, we had applied for a long-term visa. But after the government's order, the police administration is pressuring us to send both the brides back to Pakistan. Father-in-law Haji Abdullah is worried about the safety of both the brides. He asks anxiously, after the government's order, the police administration is forcing us to send these young brides back to Pakistan. In such a tense situation, how will these two go to Pakistan? If the roads are closed after going from here, then our family will be destroyed. He has requested both the local authorities and the Indian government to allow the brides to settle in his family. Meanwhile, the two young brides are deeply disappointed at getting the information of being sent to Pakistan. Both of them say that they will prefer to die rather than leave their husbands and go back to Pakistan. Karam Khatoon's father-in-law Abdullah points out that the brides are in no position to go back to Pakistan. He remarked, Karam Khatoon's mother has died. She was raised by her father and after marriage, her father has also gone to work in Arab. In such a situation, on whose trust can we send Karam back to Pakistan. Abdullah says he is unable to contact Karam's father and there is no one there who can take care of her. Due to this, I cannot send her alone to Pakistan. Abdullah has appealed to the government to give concessions. A similar tough situation confronts another family of 18 members from Tando Allahyar district of Pakistan who have come to Rajasthans Barmer district just last weekend. The family had come with the intention of staying in India and had reached Barmer just a few days ago. On Saturday, this Hindu family from Pakistan, requested the government with folded hands to let them stay in India, as they have also applied for a long term visa. Family member Suresh says that there is no income in Pakistan while the expenses are very high and thats why we came to live here. Suresh asserts that most of his family and relatives live in India, and thats why they came on visa on 19th April to leave Pakistan and stay in India forever. The 18 members of this family include women, children and men. He said that India is very good and we want to stay here for which we have submitted all the documents for long term visas. We request the government that we should be allowed to stay in Barmer. Another member of the family, Kailash Kumar says we have come here as we are fed up with Pakistan. We request the Indian government with folded hands, to help us stay here. All Pakistani citizens who had come to India recently on religious visa, visitor visa or for other reasons, except those whose Long Term Visa (LTV) has been approved or is under consideration, all Pak citizens will have to return to Pakistan in compliance with the instructions of the Government of India. But these affected families in Rajasthan hope that the Indian government will understand their pain and save them from being ruined. Clearly, as India-Pakistan tensions escalate, the lives of many ordinary people are getting badly hit and in the crossfire between the two bitter neighbours, its common citizens who are feeling helpless and are bound to suffer in countless ways.

Centre plans 25 new ropeway projects across 10 states to boost connectivity and tourism
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has started preparing comprehensive reports to check scope and feasibility of the development of at least 25 ropeway projects in 10 states, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Arunachal Pradesh. The sites identified to introduce aerial transport system include Ooty (Tamil Nadu), Boyakonda Gangamma Temple (AP), Mullayyana Giri (Karnataka), Shirgul Mahadev Temple (Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh), Palampur Thathri-Chhunja Glacier (Himachal Pradesh), Hempeupet Peak (Assam), Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Assam), Shivneri Fort (Junnar, Maharashtra) and Amer Fort-Nahargarh Fort (Jaipur, Rajasthan). The National Highways Logistics Management Limited, the agency entrusted with the work for development of ropeways projects under Parvatmala Pariyojana, will soon appoint consultants for preparing Detailed Project Reports for these projects. The agency is a wholly owned company of NHAI, which functions under the ministry. The 24-km ropeway in Assam, connecting Khanapara to Lokopriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati, is significant because of its length. Most of them aim to improve accessibility to religious and historic sites. For DPRs, the assessment of the sites and the length of the proposed ropeway with Lower Terminal Point will be finalized. The review will also help in taking decision whether the length is to be increased or reduced considering site specific local factors. To improve last-mile connectivity in remote and hilly regions, the Centre in the 2022 Budget announced the National Ropeways Development Programme.
FIR against BJP MLA for 'provocative' rant outside Rajasthan mosque
Tensions flared in Jaipur's walled city after BJP MLA Balmukundacharya and supporters allegedly engaged in provocative sloganeering near Jama Masjid during a protest against the Pahalgam massacre. An FIR has been filed against the MLA for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and inciting violence. CCTV footage shows the group pasting posters and raising anti-Pakistan slogans near the mosque, sparking widespread protests.

BJP MLA Acharya apologises amid outrage over controversial protest at Jaipur's Jama Masjid
JAIPUR: BJP MLA Balmukund Acharya has stepped back and issued an apology after facing a backlash over the objectionable sloganeering and alleged misbehaviour that his supporters indulged in during a protest outside the Jama Masjid in Jaipur on Friday night. In a video message released on Saturday, Acharya stated, If anyones sentiments were hurt due to the posters or my words, I sincerely apologise. It was never my intention to hurt any community or religion. At this time, unity among all of us is very important. He further emphasised that India functions according to the Constitution, where every citizen has the right to respect their religious sentiments. He urged people to stay united and support Prime Minister Narendra Modis efforts to combat terrorism and respond strongly to Pakistan. Amid rumours about a potential Jaipur bandh against his controversial actions, Acharya also appealed for calm through a post on his official X handle. The unrest in Jaipur began on Friday night when tensions erupted in the Chardiwari (old city) area. Around 8:30 p.m., during a protest led by Balmukund Acharya and his supporters condemning the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, posters reading Pakistan Murdabad were allegedly pasted outside the Jama Masjid premises. The group led by Acharya also raised some controversial slogans and carried posters with offensive messages during their protest. The incident angered members of the Muslim community, who responded by staging a counter-protest near Badi Chaupad next to Jaipur's famous landmark, the Hawa Mahal. They also raised slogans and posters of their own. A brief altercation between the two groups followed, leading to the registration of an FIR against Hawamahal MLA Balmukund Acharya. The FIR, registered against Acharya at Manak Chowk police station, accuses him of inciting religious sentiments and disrupting social harmony. Sources within the BJP suggest that Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and senior party leaders were unhappy with Acharyas actions, especially given the sensitive environment. State BJP President Madan Rathore reportedly called Acharya to express his disapproval. Following the conversation, Acharya assured the leadership that he would exercise greater caution in future and avoid similar incidents. In the midst of the controversy, the Jama Masjid Committee held a press conference on Saturday evening and released a video showing Balmukund Acharya entering the mosque while wearing shoes, a gesture considered highly disrespectful in Islamic tradition. Congress MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi, who attended the press conference, criticized the BJP MLA's behaviour. MLA Rafiq Khan said, We have no objection to slogans like 'Pakistan Murdabad' or 'Terrorism Murdabad.' We too oppose terrorism. But the BJP MLA deliberately tried to provoke religious sentiments under the pretext of the protest.This controversy is not the first time Balmukund Acharya has captured public attention with his dubious actions. Earlier, he had drawn headlines for calling for the closure of meat shops in Jaipur, citing religious sentiments.

Posters spark tension near Jaipur mosque; FIR filed against BJP MLA for inciting communal unrest
JAIPUR: Tension erupted in the Chardiwari area of Jaipur's Walled city after controversial posters reading Pakistan Murdabad and some other offensive slogans were allegedly pasted outside the Jama Masjid in Johri Bazaar on Friday night. Following the incident, an FIR was registered against BJP leader and Hawamahal MLA Balmukund Acharya. The incident unfolded around 8:30 pm when MLA Acharya and several others organized a protest condemning the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. However, during the protest, some individuals reportedly pasted the controversial posters on the mosque premises, escalating the situation. The appearance of these posters triggered outrage among members of the Muslim community, who began protesting near Badi Chaupad, opposite Jaipur's most famous landmark the Hawa Mahal. They began raising slogans and put up counter-posters and a brief altercation occurred between the two groups. As tensions escalated, Congress MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi arrived on the scene and helped to defuse the situation. Allegations were made by the Muslim community that several protestors had entered the mosque without removing their shoes, which added to the growing unrest. The controversial posters also included a slogan reading, Who says terrorism has no religion? along with an image of a bearded man. The Jaipur Police Commissionerate intervened as the situation worsened, with Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph and Additional Police Commissioner Rameshwar Singh arriving to manage the crowd and restore order. Additional police forces were deployed to maintain peace in the area. Protesters accused MLA Balmukunda Acharya of inciting religious sentiments and stoking communal passions. Subsequently, the Jama Masjid Committee filed an FIR against MLA Acharya at the Manak Chowk police station. The crowd dispersed only after the FIR was officially announced through the mosque loudspeakers. Jama Masjid Secretary Zahirullah Khan, who went to file the FIR, explained, Isha Namaz was in progress at the mosque when MLA Balmukund Acharya arrived with his supporters. He kicked the posters of Pakistan, and we agree with that action. We would have done the same. But they also brought other offensive posters that hurt the sentiments of our community. MLA Rafiq Khan, speaking about the incident, said, This was not a protest by one community, but a concern shared by society at large. We all stand against terrorism, but some individuals acted irresponsibly. We have taken legal action accordingly.
