Jharkhand to introduce AI-based elephant alert system along Chhattisgarh border
RANCHI: Jharkhand is all set to introduce an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Elephant Alert System in regions bordering Chhattisgarh. According to officials, states first AI-based camera hooter system will be installed near Rajabasa village under the Chakulia Range of Jamshedpur Forest Division as a pilot project. Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Saba Alam Ansari informed that it will be Jharkhands first such AI-powered hooter system designed to detect elephants entering a particular area automatically and alert the villages by sounding the hooter. As soon as an elephant enters the visibility rage of the AI-based cameras, the hooter will sound automatically, alerting villagers to protect their families, and livestock, said the DFO. This will be first such project in Jharkhand on the lines of Chhattisgarh, he added. The DFO further added that the entire system is solar-powered and can be monitored in real time through a laptop or mobile app, even during power cuts. As of now, five cameras will be installed covering the village from all sides, he said. Looking at the success of this project, it will be expanded to other elephant prone areas, including Ghatshila, Potka and Bodam ranges, said the DFO. The AI-based hooter system will not only reduce damage to the life and property but also mark a major step toward ensuring peaceful human-elephant coexistence in Jharkhand, he added. Besides alerting the villagers, the forest department teams will also receive an alert message to remain cautious. The system will also allow authorised forest officials to control it remotely. These AI-based cameras will sound the hooter by only if an elephant or a herd of elephants comes into its visibility range and will ignore if any other animal or human being crosses by it, said Ansari. According to sources in forest department, the hooter system will sound alerts in two phases; firstly, when elephants are four kilometres away, the siren will sound for 20 seconds and secondly, when they reach within the range of two kilometres, a louder siren will sound for 40 seconds, so that the villagers to go to a safer place. Notably, Chakulia Forest Range, under Kolhan region of Jharkhand, is an elephant prone zone, having more than 15-20 elephants at a time which sometimes goes to 35-40 after the influx of elephants from neighbouring West Bengal. The region witnesses frequent man-animal conflicts resulting to significant loss of life. Due to frequent wandering of elephants, Chakradharpur (CKP) Division under South Eastern Railways is also to installed an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Elephant Intrusion Detection System (EIDS) soon to protect elephants being mowed down by the speeding trains. This system detects the presence of elephants around the rail tracks and inform the loco pilots on time. The Intrusion Detection System, for which a successful trail was completed recently along the Barabamboo-Chakradharpur-Lotapahar section, detects the presence of elephants around the rail track and informs the loco pilots on time so that they can slow down the speeding train. This system will operate through fiber optics and sensors. This step will prove to be very crucial in Kolhan region, where a large number of elephants cross railway tracks on regular basis and many of them are hit be trains and get killed.

Ghatshila bypoll: JMMs Somesh Chandra Soren defeats BJPs Babulal Soren by 38,524 votes
RANCHI: JMM candidate Somesh Chandra Soren has won the Ghatshila Assembly by-election, securing 1,04,794 votes and defeating the BJPs Babulal Soren by a decisive margin of 38,524 votes. The result has infused fresh enthusiasm into the JMM, reaffirming the partys strength in one of its traditional bastions. Counting began at 8 a.m. on Friday at Jamshedpur Co-operative College, and Somesh Soren took the lead from the very first round, opening with a margin of 3,246 votes. He maintained his lead throughout all 20 rounds of counting, with the gap widening steadily and triggering jubilant celebrations among JMM supporters. Party workers waved flags, beat drums, lit crackers, and danced as the numbers continued to favour their candidate. Expressing his gratitude, Somesh Chandra Soren thanked voters for their overwhelming support and pledged to work with dedication for the development of Ghatshila. Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) candidate Ramdas Murmu finished third, securing 11,542 votes.

Autonomy debate rages after IIM director quits
RAIPUR: The resignation of IIM Raipur Director, Prof. Ram Kumar Kakani, highlights the inconsistencies between the IIM Act and the institutes HR policies, which some academics acknowledge have persisted for years and are seen as a key reason behind his decision to step down. Prof. Kakani said the contradiction between the institutes HR policies and the spirit of the IIM Act of 2017 was limiting his professional scope, thereby hindering his work and decision-making. He resigned abruptly on July 22, well before his tenure was scheduled to end in March 2027. For more than two months, Prof. Sanjeev Parashar has served as Director in charge. He could not be reached for comment. Prof. Kakani is the third director of a premier IIM in the past five years to resign, reportedly due to differences with the Board of Governors. Two former directors of IIM KolkataAnju Seth (2021) and Uttam Kumar Sarkar (2023)resigned over disputes with their boards. A respected academic, Prof. Kakani has previously taught at IIM Kozhikode, XLRI Jamshedpur, and LLBSNAA Mussoorie. He is now the vice-chancellor of RV University, Bengaluru. Faculty and senior students at IIM Raipur said disputes over administrative authority between directors and board chairpersons have increased since the IIM Act, 2017. They said these differences affected the institutes administrative autonomy and functioning. Prof. Kanai had reportedly raised these concerns during his tenure. A source explained the probable circumstance behind Prof. Kakanis resignation. A grave academic integrity issue involving the institutes faculty member allegedly implicated in a forgery acted as a primary catalyst for the sudden exit of Kakani. The fraud specifically related to a doctoral students signature to reorder the co-authorship of a research article accepted in an A-star journal, the source said. 3rd head in five yrs to quit over rift with board Prof Ram Kumar Kakani resigned abruptly as the IIM Raipur Director on July 22 this year, well before his tenure was scheduled to end in March 2027. Prof. Kakani is the third director of a premier IIM in the past five years to resign, reportedly due to differences with the Board of Governors.

Unable to find an ambulance, tribal man in Jharkhand sets off for home carrying his ailing wife
JHARKHAND: A tribal man at the Dhalbhumgarh Community Health Centre (CHC) in Jamshedpur, set off for home carrying his wife on his shoulders after he was not provided an ambulance or any other alternate arrangements. The incident highlights the struggles faced by people in rural areas, particularly in tribal communities, in accessing medical care and emergency services. Notably, Shukulmani Sabar had gone for treatment to CHC Dhalbhumgarh on Friday, but was referred to MGM Hospital in Jamshedpur for better treatment by doctors on Saturday. Neither an 108 ambulance was available on time, nor provided with any alternative arrangements. Consequently, the man left for home carrying his wife on his shoulder. However, after the incident was brought to the notice of health officials, an ambulance was dispatched from CHC Dhalbhumgarh, and the couple was brought back to the hospital. According to eyewitnesses, when Shukulmani could not walk a distance from the hospital, her husband, Gura Sabar, carried her on his shoulders. Holding her with one hand and her bag with the other, he kept on walking on the road heading towards their village, Mudathakura in Gudabandha. On the way, Pavitra Manna, a mobile shop owner, took a sensitive initiative and arranged an auto through his friend Gulshan to take the couple to Dhalbhumgarh Chowk. Reportedly, Shukulmani Sabar was admitted to the Community Health Centre on Friday. Her haemoglobin was 7.5 g/dL, and she complained of blood in her sputum. Her husband, Gura Sabar, said that his wife had been suffering from fever and diarrhoea for two to three weeks. Unable to find a vehicle and a place at the hospital, they left on foot without informing anyone. Medical officer, Dr Gopinath Mahali, said that after being referred to MGM Hospital in Jamshedpur, the couple did not wait for the ambulance to come or even an auto and left for home on foot. When it was put in our notice, we sent an ambulance for them, but they refused to go to MGM Hospital for unknown reasons and were taken to CHC Gudabandha once again. But they insisted on going back to their village and were dropped off at their home by an ambulance, said the Medical Officer. They said that they had some work at home and hence would go to MGM Hospital on Sunday, he added. According to the Medical Officer, when the ambulance was sent to his home on Sunday, the couple refused to go to Jamshedpur for treatment. We are trying our best so that we can provide the woman, who is a Tuberculosis patient, the best possible treatment, but we are not getting proper cooperation from the other side, said the Medical Officer. Meanwhile, an explanation has been sought from the on-duty CHC staff who were present at the time of the incident, he added. The Civil Surgeon has also sought an explanation from the Medical Officer on the entire incident.
Jharkhand to host first-ever Run for Gajraj marathon to raise promote elephant conservation
RANCHI: Aimed at creating awareness for the conservation of wild animals, especially elephants, the Jharkhand forest department for the first time, is set to organise a marathon Run for Gajraj in the foothills of Dalma in Jamshedpur on October 5. According to officials, though the marathon is meant to create awareness for the protection and conservation of wild animals, the focus will be on the elephants. Both male and female elephants will participate in the event with separate prize money for each group, ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 31,000 across five categories. According to Jamshedpur Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Saba Alam, An elephant marathon is being conducted as part of the Wildlife Week 2025 in Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary. This event is aimed at promoting eco-tourism, local tourism, and encouraging fitness and healthy living among citizens. Probably, this is the first time such an event, focused especially at the wild elephants, is being organised in Jharkhand. Earlier, a walkathon, Walk for Gajraj was also organised at Van Bhawan in Jamshedpur on Friday, he added. The DFO informed that more than 2500 participants have already registered to take part in the event, while the figure is likely to cross 3000 by the time it closes on Saturday. The marathon will be for 16 km and will be flagged off at Saharbeda Football Ground in the foothills of Dalma at 7.00 am on Sunday. It will pass through four villages to end at Saharbeda itself. Alam said that after a long gap, five elephants returned to Dalma a few days ago, a region that had otherwise been devoid of wild elephants. Forest department sources, however, noted that while only a few elephants remain at Dalma, a sizeable number are currently stationed at Chakulia in Ghatsila subdivision and at Chandil in the adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan district. They attributed the exodus of elephants from Dalma to a 16-km-long trench dug by the West Bengal Forest Department five years ago, which disrupted the tuskers movement along the elephant corridor connecting the two states.

JAMSHEDPUR: The Jharkhand State Minority Commission (JSMC) on Tuesday took suo motu cognisance of the alleged questioning by a Hindu outfit of a nun and 19 tribal minors at a railway station for about five hours on suspicion of human trafficking and religious conversion, an official said. Members of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad had allegedly questioned the catholic nun and tribal children over religious conversion at Tatanagar railway station on Friday night after they deboarded the South Bihar Express. JSMC vice-chairman Pranesh Solomon told PTI that they have taken up the serious issue of harassment of minorities by alleged right-wing outfits at the Tatanagar Station. We came to know about the detention of the Catholic nun and the minor boys and girls by the Railway Police through the media. We will be writing to the district commissioner, senior superintendent of police (SSP) and the Railway Police to furnish the reasons for the detention of the nun and the minors even after not finding any valid reasons for the charges labelled against them by some right-wing outfits, the official said. Our team would be visiting Jamshedpur (Tatanagar is the railway station for Jamshedpur city in East Singhbhum) in the last week of September and meeting the officials concerned and the Catholic institution officials who had organised the skill development training session, Pranesh Solomon added. A minority outfit alleged that the Catholic nun and tribal minors were questioned for about five hours by members of Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders through the GRP soon after they got down from the South Bihar Express on Friday night. The leaders had lodged a written complaint with the GRP Tatanagar alleging human trafficking of minors and religious conversion, the outfit members claimed. Ratan Tirkey, a former Tribal Advisory Council member, alleged that members of the right-wing outfits had circulated photos and videos of the minor tribals without their consent on social media and other platforms. Father Birender Tete director of Samekit Jan Vikas Kendra in Sundernagar at Jamshedpur, who had been to the Tatanagar station and persuaded the railway police to release the minors and the nuns, told PTI that a total of 16 girls and three boys from different parts of Seraikela-Kharsawan district had come with consent of their parents to attend life skill development session at their centre on Saturday and Sunday. However, due to the ordeal faced by the minors at the Tatanagar Station we had to cancel the session as all the boys and girls were traumatised and returned home, Father Tete. Deputy Superintendent of Police, GRP, Jayshree Kujur, said that an investigation into the case is underway, but prima facie, there has been no conclusive evidence of any religious conversion and human trafficking.
RANCHI/JAMSHEDPUR: Kurmi community members will go ahead with their indefinite 'Rail Teka' (rail blockade) agitation on Saturday at different railway stations across Jharkhand in support of their demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status and inclusion of Kurmali language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, an official of Adivasi Kurmi Samaj said on Friday. Adivasi Kurmi Samaj member and Kurmi Vikas Morcha central president Sheetal Ohdar told PTI that community members have been asked to stage protests on railway tracks in a peaceful manner without disrupting railway traffic, damaging public property and indulging in any sort of violence. We are aware of the Calcutta High Court directive and will ensure that protests on railway tracks are held in a peaceful manner, and under no circumstances will members damage railway property or indulge in violence. Members have been asked not to show resistance when security forces of the state or railway units try to remove them from tracks or take them under preventive custody, Ohdar added. The Calcutta High Court has declared the Kurmi community's plan for rail and road blockade on September 20 unconstitutional and illegal and directed the railways and the state government to take steps to maintain law and order and ensure public movement remains unhindered. Adivasi Kurmi Samaj has given a call for a rail and road blockade in the greater Chotanagpur area, spanning Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha. Ohdar said community members have been asked not to carry any traditional weapons during the agitation. Members have been asked not to carry any traditional weapons during the agitation. We will stage jhumur (a traditional dance) and raise slogans in support of our demand, he added. In Jharkhand, Kurmi leaders will sit on protest near railway tracks at Muri Station (near Ranchi), Barkakhana (in Ramgarh), Parasnath (Giridih), Chandrapura (Bokaro), Pradhan Ghanta (Dhanbad), Galudih (East Singhbhum), Sonua (West Singhbhum), Godda and Jamtara from Saturday morning. We do not want the public to be harassed during the agitation and are ready to withdraw our agitation if only Union Home Minister Amit Shah holds a meeting in support of our demand, Ohdar said. The movement for ST status by the Kurmi community gained momentum in 2022. After the COVID-19 pandemic, protests were held at several railway stations in Jharkhand and West Bengal. The movement began on September 20, 2022, and lasted for about nine days. In 2023, the protest again started on September 20 and continued for 7-8 days. No protests were held in 2024 due to the Lok Sabha and assembly elections. Meanwhile, several tribal outfits under Sanyukt Adivasi Sangathan have decided to stage a demonstration near the Raj Bhawan on Saturday in protest against Kurmi community's demand for inclusion in ST category. Sangathan spokesperson Niranjana Toppo claimed that the Kurmi demand for ST status is illegal and the agitation will force railways to incur huge losses. They also announced that they would submit a memorandum to Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar addressed to the President, Droupadi Murmu, against the Kurmi community's agitation. DGP Anurag Gupta had instructed police on Friday to increase vigilance, deploy additional forces with protective gear, install CCTV and drones at sensitive stations, and coordinate with railway police to prevent stone-pelting and ensure passenger safety during the agitation. Meanwhile, prohibitory orders under Section 163 of BNSS have been promulgated around four railway stations, including Tatanagar, from Friday in view of the agitation. The order will be effective in a 100-meter radius of Tatanagar, Govindpur, Rakha Mines and Haldipokhar stations under Dhalbhum subdivision of the district, Dhalbhum SDO Chandrajeet Singh said in a statement. The SDO stated that demonstration, dharna, effigy burning or gherao, carrying any sort of weapons, including sticks and bows and arrows, assembly of five or more persons with the intention to disturb peace, has been prohibited. No public address system will be allowed in the prohibited areas without prior permission, he said, adding that the order will be in force till the end of the agitation.
