Injured elephant dies after suspected Maoist IED blast in Jharkhand's Saranda forest
RANCHI: A six-year-old wild elephant named Gadru, which was seriously injured in a suspected IED blast planted by Maoists in the Saranda Forest of Chaibasa, has sadly succumbed to its injuries despite intensive treatment efforts. The elephant had been spotted wandering in the forest in an injured condition ten days ago. Gadru was believed to have sustained injuries on June 24, but it was only located on June 27 with the help of a drone camera. Despite exhaustive efforts by the Forest Department and veterinary experts, the elephant could not be saved. After several hours of treatment, the elephant finally collapsed late on Saturday evening due to excessive blood loss and infection. It had sustained a major injury to its hind limb, which became severely infected and spread throughout its body, said Saranda Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Aviroop Sinha. He added that further details would be available following the post-mortem, scheduled for Sunday. A joint medical team comprising members of the Forest Department and Vantara, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre from Gujarat, had tranquilised the elephant late on Saturday evening. The animal was then transported to Jhariakela from the Digha area of Saranda, but it succumbed overnight due to massive internal bleeding and injuries. Specialised teams were called in from various forest divisions in Jharkhand and Odisha to assist in locating and treating the elephant. The rescue operation was personally monitored by Jamshedpur Regional Chief Conservator of Forests (RCCF) Smita Pankaj and Saranda DFO Aviroop Sinha, with Dr Tenzing from Vantara also on-site. According to local sources, the incident likely occurred between 24 and 26 June. The elephant was last seen near Digha on June 27and was finally traced by drone on July 3. Forest officials confirmed the animal was severely injured, although the exact cause is still under investigation. However, wildlife experts have not ruled out an IED explosion as the cause, given the nature of the injury to the hind limb. With Maoists now deploying capsule IEDs with limited impact, it's possible the elephant was hurt by one of these devices, said a wildlife expert on condition of anonymity. Notably, Maoist activity is now largely confined to the Saranda jungles of Jharkhand, having been driven out of most other parts of the state. Estimates suggest 8590 Maoist insurgents are hiding in the region, which is reportedly littered with thousands of IEDs, posing a grave challenge for security personnel. Since the launch of a joint security operation in the Kolhan region in November 2022, following intelligence reports about the presence of senior Maoist leaders including Misir Besra and Patiram Majhi alias Anal Da, the area has witnessed intense conflict. The IED blasts triggered by Maoists have claimed the lives of six security personnel and around 22 civilians, leaving over 30 others critically injured.

RANCHI: 20-year-old Rohit Kumar from Jamshedpur, who sold mobile phone covers from a roadside cart, has cracked the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG), securing 549 marks. With an All India Rank of 12,484, he now hopes to secure admission to a government medical college in Jharkhand. Kumar shared that his father once worked in a vegetable market, and he now runs a small shop alongside his elder brother to support their family. He began his education at a government school before moving to a private institution with a modest fee of Rs 800. Following Class 10, the COVID-19 pandemic forced him to take up work at a medical store an experience that sparked his interest in medicine. Initially unaware of NEET, Rohit chose Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Class 11 and managed to top his board exams despite juggling work and studies. He would sell mobile covers by day and study late into the night, often staying up until 3 AM, before starting again at 7 AM the next morning. Though I was confident I would clear NEET, I never imagined Id score this well. I studied till noon, then went to the shop from 12 to around 4 PM, returned home and continued studying till midnight, he said. He credited his success to the unwavering support of his brother and the free coaching provided by Physics Wallah. On average, we earned around Rs 500 a day from selling mobile covers to support our family. Physics Wallah didnt charge me anything for coaching I was given a free batch based on my performance in the second attempt, Kumar added. He also attended free YouTube sessions offered by the coaching platform. Kumar stressed the importance of sticking to the NCERT syllabus, practising thoroughly, and revising regularly. One should focus on NCERT books and follow the syllabus strictly. Practice and revision are the key, he advised.

The video, shared by the platform, shows Pandey embracing Rohit and acknowledging his hard work and dedication.

Village Panchayat in Jharkhand passes resolution to reject witchcraft-related complaints
RANCHI: A village panchayat in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur has passed a resolution for not hearing any case related to witch-hunting. According to the Gram Pradhan of Sarjamda village under Jamshedpur Block of Jamshedpur, the decision has been taken in the wake of the growing incidents of killing women and elders after branding them as witches during Panchayat meetings. Not only that, the Gram Panchayat has also amended the rules of the traditional self-governance system, under which, if anyone approaches the Gram Sabha with a complaint accusing a woman or anybody of practicing black magic, his or her complaint will not be entertained. As per the amended constitution, there is no such thing as a witch or witchcraft. Gram Pradhan Suresh Hansda, also known as Manjhi Baba, informed that if someone comes to the Gram Sabha with an application accusing someone of being a witch, it is rejected outrightly and the person referred for counselling, during which, they are told that it is nothing but superstition. Not a single case of witchcraft has recorded in the region after the resolution was taken by the Gram Sabha a few years back, which clearly indicates that the purpose has been solved, said Hansda. Earlier, our forefathers were illiterate, who used to believe in such superstitions, but now after becoming literate, there should not be any space for such thing in society, he added. The resolution not taken orally, but in writing formally on the Panchayat register, said Hansda. Block Development Officer (BDO) Malay Kumar also lauded the initiative taken by Gram Panchayat, calling it a welcome step. As most of the witch-hunting cases are targeted towards the women and elderly, it is really a welcome step, which will further help in checking such incidents, said the Block Development Officer. Other Panchayats should also follow the suit as it has effectively worked in this particular Panchayat, he added. Civil Society Organisations also called it a landmark decision. Such initiative will further inspire other Panchayats to take similar decision as more than 2000 women have been killed the name of practicing black magic across Jharkhand since the state came into being in the year 2000, said Secretary of Association for Social and Humar Awareness (ASHA) Ajay Jaiswal. Padma Shri recipient and social worker, known for raising her voice against the witch-hunting, Chhutni Mahato, also believes that the incidents of murder on the pretext of being a witch could only be stopped when the society becomes aware. Panchayats have an important role to play to check this menace as the decisions of Panchayats are paramount in tribal villages. If initiatives are being taken against such superstitions in tribal panchayats, then it will yield positive results, said Chhutni Mahto. Notably, there are a lot of instances in Jharkhand where people were killed following a decision taken by the Panchayat, branding them as witches. Tribal-dominated Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana are the worst affected states. Hundreds of women have been persecuted, tortured and killed in the garb of witchcraft in past few decades in these four states.

CM Hemant Soren replaces Shibu Soren as JMM President
RANCHI: Chief Minister Hemant Soren replaced Shibu Soren as JMM President. The decision was taken at the 13th convention of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) being held in Ranchi on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a new post Founding Patron has been created by amending the partys constitution for Shibu Soren. The party also abolished the post of Executive Presidenta role previously held by Hemant Soren. In place of the executive president, a new post of Founding Patron has been created for Shibu Soren. Hemant Soren was given the responsibility of executive president during the Jamshedpur convention in 2015 and held it for almost 10 years. Under his leadership, the party won two Assembly elections. Earlier, Nalin Soren proposed the name of Shibu Soren for the newly created post of founder patron of JMM, seconded by Stephen Marandi, which was approved unanimously by the party leaders and workers. After this, Shibu Soren was officially elected as the founder patron of the party. Later, Hemant Soren's name was proposed as the president of JMM. Shibu Soren announced the name of Hemant Soren as the central president of JMM. With this, JMM is ushering in a new era under the leadership of Hemant Soren. Formed in 1972, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha began as a tribal rights movement under the leadership of Shibu Soren. Originally a grassroots platform advocating for the creation of a separate tribal state, the party was instrumental in the formation of Jharkhand in 2000 after decades of struggle and sacrifice. Now, with assembly elections round the corners in the neighbouring states, the JMM appears ready to broaden its reach and redefine its identity on the national stage. After the formation of JMM in 1972, Vinod Bihari Mahto was made the first president of JMM, holding the post till 1984. Later in 1984, when the political circumstances changed, Shibu Soren appointed Nirmal Mahto as the president of JMM. Later, Shibu Soren was given the responsibility and had been serving as the party president since 1987, playing a key role in shaping the direction of the party. Shibu Soren remained party president for about 38 long years. JMM, under Shibu Sorens leadership, intensified the movement for a separate state, giving voice to the aspirations of the people of Jharkhand. The partys symbol, bow and arrow, became a powerful emblem of identity, pride, and rights for the people of the region. From forests and hills to fields, villages, towns, and cities, the party expanded its reach. Starting in the 1980s, JMM also made its mark in electoral politics and gradually gained a foothold in the parliamentary system. According to party leaders, in his new role as Founding Patron, Shibu Soren will continue to guide the party as a mentor.
