Anmol Bishnoi might be first extradited to Canada, later to India
CHANDIGARH: The US Immigration Department had last week detained 26-year-old Anmol Bishnoi alias Bhanu younger brother of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, in California as one of his travel documents was reportedly found to be forged. He had reportedly fled India using fake documents. He is likely to be first handed over to the Canadian authorities in connection with the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He is also facing more than 32 criminal cases registered against him in India related to kidnapping, extortion and murder out of which at least 20 are registered in Rajasthan alone. Also, Anmol looked after Lawrences cartel of extortion and invested the gangs money in businesses outside India. Sources said that in all likelihood Anmol Bhisnois custody will be first handed over to the Canadian law enforcement agencies by the US authorities and only later India might get his custody as he has been residing in Canada, he is likely to be extradited to that country first. The process of bringing back to India might have to be initiated through Canada. Anmol was reportedly interrogated by the US authorities. A red corner notice had been issued against him in December 2022. He was detained last week in California by the US immigration department, as one of his travel documents was reportedly found to be forged, as he had reportedly fled India using fake documents. US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller had told the media in Washington, It would be appropriate if anyone is going to comment on such a report, it would be the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, not the State Department. I prefaced it that way because they may decline to comment, but I certainly am not going to comment on something that falls within their jurisdiction. Indian agencies meet FBI officials to discuss extradition of detained gangster Anmol Bishnoi: Sources Sources said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials have met the senior officials of various Indian agencies after Anmol was detained in the United States to discuss the status of his case and the evidence against him. Anmols alleged involvement in the killing of NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique might have also been discussed. Sources further claimed that after meeting the US official the officials of the central agencies are busy finding strong and direct evidence against Anmol and are thus reopening the files. An official privy with the development in the Punjab Police said that Anmol Bishnoi who operates from Rajasthan is the key operator of the global criminal syndicate of Lawrence Bishnoi and works behind the scenes managing businesses and activities of the gang. He is now in the most wanted list due to his involvement in three high-profile cases: murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique , firing outside the house of Bollywood actor Salman Khan and the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. As per the Punjab Police dossier, Anmol looks after the cartel of extortion and also oversees the investment of the gangs money in businesses outside India. He emerged as the point man of this gang as he was out of jail and looked after the cartel of extortion and would invest the gangs money in businesses outside India. The investments made were in sports clubs especially related to kabaddi and have benami real estate in India and abroad. A total of 32 criminal cases are registered against him which relate to kidnapping, extortion and murder out of which at least 20 are registered in Rajasthan alone as per dossier and he worked with Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar with Lawrence as their boss. In 2012, first case was registered against Anmol under the Arms Act when he was 15 years of age. His brother Lawrence was the main accused in the case, he was arrested but later released on bail. In 2017, 19-year-old Anmol was arrested by Rajasthan Police on charges of extortion case and for firing outside the office of a businessman in Jodhpur. He got the bail in 2019 and during his stay in Jodhpur jail, he established contacts with his brothers accomplices. Anmol was last spotted in 2023 at a wedding in California in which noted Punjabi singers Karan Aujla and Sharry Mann performed. Both singers later clarified that they had no clue that Anmol was present at the wedding as they were there just to perform. He was last seen in New York after he escaped in November 2022 via Dubai using a fake passport. A case was registered in the cyber cell police station. The passport was issued by the Regional Passport Office, Delhi. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had previously in October announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for his capture. Also, the Mumbai police issued a lookout circular against him in connection with the firing outside actor Salman Khans residence on April 14 after he claimed responsibility for the incident on social media. Anmol was also involved in ordering a hit on singer Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022 and had left the country a month before the singer was targeted and killed. This is the second major detention of wanted gangsters after Arshdeep Singh Gill alias Arsh Dalla was arrested in Canada earlier.

Karnataka: Cyber criminals use KYC details of students to open bank accounts
BENGALURU: Four youth from Rajasthan have been arrested by the CEN police of South East division for allegedly running various cyber rackets like online job scams and investment frauds in Bengaluru. The accused were also found to use the bank accounts of students to commit fraudulent activities. The accused have been identified as Abhay Dhan (19), Aravind Kumar (19), both from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, and Pavan Bishnoi (18) and Sawayi Singh (21), both from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. Of them is a student while the others are college dropouts. The police zeroed in on the gang members after they siphoned off Rs 12.5 lakh from an individual in September promising him huge returns if he invested as per their suggestions. Before this, they had also lured him with commissions for giving positive ratings for certain online products. On the basis of his complaint, the CEN police registered a case under the IT Act. During the investigation, the CEN officers found that four individuals from Rajasthan were behind the fraud. On searches conducted on houses of two accused in Rajasthan, the officers located various bank accounts. The police also recovered 19 mobile phones, two laptops, 20 SIM cards, 34 bank passbooks, 106 credit/debit cards, 39 cheque books and Rs 75,000 in cash. The bank accounts were found to be linked to 43 such cyber fraud cases registered in 15 states across the country. The main factor that is of concern is that the accused used KYC details of college students to open savings bank accounts and commit cyber fraud. These students will be made witnesses in the case. People should take care not to fall for such cyber frauds and should not divulge their bank details or give their bank accounts details to other individuals. The police are checking if there was any collusion of bank officials in the fraudulent activities, said an officer. Further investigations are on.

Skye Air Transforms Healthcare Delivery with Drone Technology Under Ayushman Bharat Scheme
Skye Air, a prominent drone logistics company, is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by partnering with the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY). As part of the expanded health sector initiative announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Skye Air will enable drone-based healthcare logistics at five of the eleven AIIMS facilities under PMJAY: Jodhpur, Patna, Deoghar, Manipur, and Mangalagiri. This collaboration highlights the significant role of drone technology in improving healthcare services, especially in remote and underserved areas. The governments expanded Ayushman Bharat initiative, with an investment of over Rs.12,850 crore, aims to enhance healthcare access across the country. Skye Airs contribution is crucial in ensuring efficient and timely medical logistics at multiple AIIMS locations, supporting the nationwide healthcare upliftment effort. Ankit Kumar, CEO of Skye Air, shared his excitement about the project, saying, The expansion of the Ayushman Bharat Scheme is bringing healthcare to new heights, with drone technology playing a vital role in service delivery. Skye Air is leading the charge in providing drone-enabled logistics at five key AIIMS facilities, contributing to bridging healthcare gaps in underserved areas. This initiative ensures that medical supplies, lifesaving medicines, and essential healthcare services reach millions under PMJAY, with improved efficiency. One of the key challenges in healthcare logistics is accessibility, particularly in areas with difficult terrain or inadequate infrastructure. Drones offer an innovative solution by rapidly delivering medical items, equipment, and emergency supplies directly to healthcare facilities, reducing transportation times and improving patient care. Skye Air has deployed its advanced StarLiner and Artemis drone models, equipped with temperature-controlled boxes to ensure the safe and efficient transport of medical supplies. These drones are designed to carry heavy loads, addressing the unique logistical challenges of the healthcare sector. This drone initiative aligns with PMJAYs mission to enhance healthcare equity by ensuring access to essential medical resources for rural and underserved populations. As India continues to build its healthcare infrastructure, integrating technologies like drones into logistics systems will create a more resilient and sustainable framework for healthcare delivery. Skye Airs project at AIIMS facilities sets a precedent for the use of drone technology in healthcare, potentially transforming how medical supplies and resources are distributed nationwide. As healthcare programs evolve, the inclusion of drones could position India as a global leader in technology-driven healthcare logistics. With Skye Air leading the way, the future of healthcare delivery in India promises to be faster, more efficient, and accessible to those who need it most. This innovation under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana marks a significant step in the country's commitment to enhancing public welfare through technology.

Meth lab busted in NCR; Tihar Jail warden, Mexican national among 5 arrested
New Delhi: A meth lab having links to a Mexican drug cartel was recently uncovered in Noida and five people, including a Tihar Jail warden and two Delhi-based businessmen, were arrested in connection with it, the NCB said on Tuesday. In a statement, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said the lab was busted in the Kasna industrial area of Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddh Nagar district on October 25 and about 95 kg of methamphetamine, a synthetic drug, was found on the premises both in solid and liquid forms. The Special Dell of the Delhi Police was also roped in by the federal anti-narcotics agency as he drug network has footprints across several places in the National Capital Region. During a preliminary enquiry, it has come out that a Delhi-based businessman, found at the factory during the raid, along with the Tihar Jail warden, was instrumental in establishing the illegal factory, procuring chemicals required for the drugs from various sources and importing the machinery, NCB Deputy Director General (Operations) Gyaneshwar Singh said. He said a Mumbai-based chemist was roped in by these people to manufacture the drug. The quality of the drug was tested by a Mexican drug cartel member residing in Delhi, Singh added. The official said these four people were arrested and produced before a special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court here on October 27 which sent them to three-day NCB custody. An important member of the syndicate and close associate of the Delhi-based businessman was apprehended in follow-up action from Delhi's Rajouri Garden area, he said, adding that this person was being produced before a court for his custody. The Delhi businessman, as per the NCB, was earlier arrested by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in a separate NDPS case and had been lodged in Tihar Jail, where he came in contact with the warden who later became his accomplice. The agency said the Mexican drug cartel identified in this case is CJNG -- Cartel De Jalisco Nueva Generacion. Chemicals like acetone, sodium hydroxide, methylene chloride, premium-grade ethanol, toluene, red phosphorus, ethyl acetate and imported machinery for manufacturing synthetic drugs were also seized from the clandestine lab, the NCB said. DDG Singh said forward and backward linkages as well as financial trail and assets generated by the accused through this illegal drug trafficking are being investigated now. The agency claims to have busted at least five clandestine labs this year so far in Gandhinagar and Amreli in Gujarat, Jodhpur and Sirohi in Rajasthan and Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. In the Bhopal case, a joint operation was undertaken by the NCB and the Gujarat ATS at the Bagroda industrial estate and about 907 kg of mephedrone and 7,000 kg of some other chemicals, along with machinery, were seized. The NCB believes that considering the low cost of production of synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and mephedrone, the drug mafia is increasingly shifting to setting up such clandestine labs in industrial areas so that local law enforcement agencies are not alerted by the routine transportation of material and machinery, waste generated from the laboratories and toxic fumes coming out of chimneys during chemical processing.

Since October 14, over 90 Indian flights have been affected by similar bomb scares. Though these threats turned out to be fake, the fallout is real: delayed flights, disrupted schedules, and mounting anxiety among passengers and airlines. We received security threats on six of our flights, a Vistara spokesperson said, listing major international routes Delhi to Frankfurt, Singapore to Mumbai, Bali to Delhi, Singapore to Delhi, Singapore to Pune, and Mumbai to Singapore. Six of the affected IndiGo flights included those on the Delhi-Istanbul, Mumbai-Istanbul, Jeddah-Mumbai, Kozhikode-Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Pune-Jodhpur, and Goa-Ahmedabad sectors. Akasa Air said six flights Ahmedabad to Mumbai, Delhi to Goa, Mumbai to Bagdogra, Delhi to Hyderabad, Kochi to Mumbai and Lucknow to Mumbai received security alerts. The Akasa Air Emergency Response teams were in touch with security and regulatory authorities, said an airline spokesperson. Sources said six Air India flights, too, faced a similar situation though its officials did not share the number. They, however, confirmed that some flights were subject to security threats received on social media. Following the laid down protocols, relevant authorities were immediately alerted, and all security procedures strictly adhered to, as per guidance from the regulatory authorities and security agencies, said an official.

Recent Surge in Bomb Threats The latest threats come after over 30 flights from various Indian airlines received bomb threats on Saturday. Airlines impacted included Air India, Vistara, IndiGo, Akasa Air, SpiceJet, Star Air, and Alliance Air. These threats, mostly circulated through social media, led to heightened security measures and disruptions for both passengers and staff. One threat note was reportedly found inside the lavatory of one flight. The social media handle used to issue some of the threats has since been deactivated. Over the past week, more than 70 domestic and international flights operated by Indian carriers have been subjected to bomb threats, most of which were hoaxes. Among the airlines, Vistara had six flights affected, while IndiGo and Akasa Air each had five flights targeted. In response, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) held a meeting with airline representatives in Delhi to address the situation. The civil aviation ministry is also considering strict measures to prevent future hoax threats, including placing those responsible on the no-fly list.

Who is Lawrence Bishnoi, the gangster linked with Baba Siddique's murder?
Sending shock-waves across Maharashtra and the country, the killing of politician and social worker Baba Siddique on Saturday night has reignited the concerns surrounding the safety of public figures. Siddique, a former minister is a notable leader in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), who is also known for his philanthropic work.The Mumbai police's investigation after the tragic incident had revealed the involvement of notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang behind the criminal incident. But who is Lawrence Bishnoi: In the recent past, Bishnoi had made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The attacks that claimed the life of Singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Punjab, the multiple failed attempts attacking Bollywood actor Salman Khan all bring out one name, with no prizes for guessing. Lawrence Bishnoi born in 1993 in Punjab primarily operates in Northern India. He went to DAV College and later joined the Punjab University Campus Students Council where he met 'Goldy Brar'. The friendship between the two grew as they ventured from student politics to criminal activities. Between 2010-12, multiple FIRs were registered against Bishnoi for his activities in Chandigarh that included extortion, murder, drug trafficking and others. However, he was acquitted in four of the cases, while three are still pending. Giving him a more celebrity like status was when he conspired to kill Salman Khan in 2018. He was also known for his open threat claiming Salman Khan will be killed here in Jodhpur. Soon after that, his gang's involvement in the murder of celebrated singer Sidhu Moosewala had made headlines again putting his name in the spotlight. Though Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the murder, Police questioned Bishnoi who was in Tihar jail at that time. In 2023, Bishnoi was back to making headlines again after gunshots were fired outside Salman Khan's residence. A report by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) also argued of a connection between Bishnoi, Brar and pro-khalistan groups. Despite being locked up, Bishnoi manages (allegedly) to operate with more than 700 shooters at his call. Be it Sabarmati Jail or Tihar Bishnoi finds a way to communicate with his phone from the prison, earlier a video went viral showing Lawrence talking to a Pakistan-based gangstar.

LEH: The uniquely placed Ladakh, facing twin active fronts with China and Pakistan, is working to beef up its Army Aviation assets towards not just offensive and defence roles but also for deployments in assisting with the civil support to handle the inclement weather conditions of the region. However the tasks remain the same, since May 2020, the Chinese standoff in eastern Ladakh, the intensity has increased, tells Brigadier Gurdeep Singh. Our tasks have increased manifold, the flying hours have increased, in future we may see more helicopters inducted here. Tells the top aviator of the Fire and Fury Corps looking after the complete operations. Since May 2020, as first reported by TNIE, there has been tensions due to the major deployment of men and equipment from both India and China. The Army aviators operate all the year round in a very dynamic condition, fulfilling multiple roles and tasks, as the brigade maintains the places of Kargil and Leh along with Siachen-world's highest battlefield. The army has different types of helicopters, the reconnaissance and observation helicopters, like Cheetal. RC's are for surveillance, LH are for various tasks like induction of troops, deinduction of troops, induction of store air maintenance, and also for casualty evaluation, Singh added. And, this place throws challenges and requires special preparations too points Colonel Randeep Pathania Pathania the man commanding one of the Units at Leh. We start our flying from approximately 12,000 feet and fly upto 18,000 feet. We have terrain which is very varied. We have icy heights of glaciers, we have heights but dry deserts of Eastern Ladakh, we have hilly terrain or high mountains of Western Ladakh which is Drass and Kargil. Each sector we have fragmented here is unique and definitely a very challenging and difficult terrain., tells Pathania. This area is challenging with temperatures plummeting minus 50 degree celsius, with gusts of winds and narrow valleys. This involves a lot of training by the pilots. We need to understand the machine and all aspects related to the machine so that we can undertake flying here. The tasks here are very essential., Pathania said. Aviators who get posted here are already trained. But most of them have not operated at high altitudes, so it's a continuous process to train them in the area, that is, 20,000 feet and beyond, and the temperature drops to minus 50, with narrow valleys, restricted areas, difficult drains, and small helipads. For the technical staff, it's a challenge to work early in the morning during winters, adds Brg Gurdeep. The place requires additional practices, fuel, gas and lubes to keep the machines operational, says Brigadier Gurdeep. And, the maintenance staff are the soul of this brigade who keep the machines operational all year long, he says. The Fire and Fury Corps is operationally one of the most sensitive corps and synergy is needed between, not only with other aviation assets, but also with ground formations spread out into a large area. The Aviation squadron regularly practices with various formations so that one plan can come out and the role is understood by one and all during operations. says Lt Col Amit Ansal also from EME. For the brigade, challenges increase in winters when the roads are closed due to snow and it becomes a lifeline. The spares are placed at important locations. In addition to the military role, the aviation brigade is always there for Ladakh and for the civil administration as well when needed. The Brigade has been instrumental in election time with taking officials to the still cutoff areas of Ladakh. Was there in assistance to the unfortunate accident victims last month when a bus fell into the gorge, in which people sought assistance and immediate medical evacuation. Currently Indian Army's Army Aviation Corps is comprised of three Brigades at Leh, Missamari and Jodhpur which fly around 190 Cheetah, Chetak and Cheetal helicopters, 145 ALH, 75 of which are the Rudra (ALH-WSI) which is the weaponised version. While the indigenous Light Combat helicopters are under induction, orders have been placed for 25 ALH Mk-III.
Team India best in world cricket at the moment, says this former English player
Jodhpur: Joe Root will go down as England's greatest batter in Tests even if he is not able to break Sachin Tendulkar's gargantuan record of 15,921 runs, reckons his former teammate Ian Bell. Root went past Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara recently to move to the sixth spot in the list of highest run-getters in the longest format. He's played incredibly well in the last 12 months. I don't think he's overthinking too much what's ahead. He's just sort of living in the moment as we are, Bell told PTI in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of Legends League Cricket. To think that he can even get close to someone like Sachin, a real great of the game, someone that we've all admired growing up, as a hero to not just people and fans in India, but around the world. To think that Joe could get close is an amazing achievement on his behalf. He'll go down as England's greatest batsman. There's no doubt whether he does get to Sachin or not, said the 42-year-old who played as many as 118 Tests for England. With 12,402 runs, the 33-year-old Root is 3,519 runs away from breaking Tendulkar's record. Bazball has unlocked talent of current players Bell feels England's much talked-about Bazball approach has unlocked talent of the current players. From a fan point of view, you have to look at the results. Since Brendon (McCullum) has come into this England side and (Ben) Stokes has took over, the results have been absolutely fantastic. What they've managed to do with the talent that they have is to unlock some of that.... Zak Crawley's, Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, they've managed to get the best out of them. I don't think you could ask a Crawley or Pope to try and be an Alastair Cook or a Jonathan Trott who played in a different style, but were very successful. It's important to identify what they've got and they're adapting that as we go on now. However, with England not featuring among contenders for World Test Championship final in the first two editions, Bell said winning away would be as important as at home in the next cycle. I'm sure they've got one eye on the next 12 months, which has five Test matches (against) India at home, which will be a huge challenge, he said. India are probably the best team in the world at the moment, and then, Australia away. Those 10 Test matches on the road will be hugely important for that group of players and something they're gearing themselves up for. We were the last team to win in India, which was obviously (a) part of the journey to get to No 1 and we won in Australia. For this England side to get to No 1, there's no doubt, ability and talent-wise, they have that, he said. He also stressed on consistency shown by the Indian team which has won 17 series in a row at home and its last two series in Australia. That's what we've seen with India at the moment. They've managed to be able to win away from home as much as anyone and that's the reason why they are the No 1 team in the world at the moment. Next generation of England players growing up with big T20 diet Bell agreed while one could argue saying England's white-ball revolution has also seen diminishing batting averages of the players in Tests barring Root. You could definitely have that argument. The next generation of players are growing up with a big diet of T20 cricket in early age and have a look at cricket in England at the moment, there's a lot of short format cricket in the early age group, he said. Himself known for his delightful cover drivers, Bell thinks Virat Kohli plays his favourite shot the best among his peers. It's very hard to look past Virat Kohli, that is for sure. Not just his cover drive, but the way he plays, his desire for batting, his desire actually in competition and how he goes about his cricket. When he plays his cover drive, whatever format of the game, it's a good one to watch. You know, my kids who love cricket, I certainly get them watching as much cricket from Virat Kohli as possible, he said. Bell added the likes of Gus Atkinson and Matthew Potts have huge shoes to fill following the retirement of James Anderson and Stuart Broad. It's very difficult for any players to come in and emulate straight away what Broad-Anderson have done for England for such a long time, he said. It's probably very similar to when (Shane) Warne and (Glenn) McGrath finished at the same time for Australia. It took a little bit of time for Australia to adapt and adjust. It's unfair for anyone who's to follow in those shoes to be seen in the same way. Hopefully people don't get too hard on them too much, he added.

Mortar blast injures 4 BSF soldiers during exercise in Pokhran Firing Range
JAIPUR: An explosion of a mortar bomb during a war exercise at the Pokhran Field Firing Range in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan left four BSF soldiers injured on Friday. The soldiers, identified as Uday, Suvimal, Abhishek, and Rahul Kumar, were rushed to Pokhran Hospital, where the condition of Uday and Abhishek is reported to be critical. After the initial treatment at the Pokhran Hospital, the jawans were referred to Jodhpur as a precautionary measure. Preliminary reports suggest that the accident occurred due to a shortfall during the exercise. A 51 mm mortar reportedly misfired during a regular practice session around noon. Upon receiving news of the incident, BSF Commandant Ranveer Singh arrived at the scene, assessed the situation, and briefed senior officials. BSF officers are actively investigating the cause of the accident and have spoken with other soldiers present at the scene to gather more information. In the wake of the incident, serious concerns have been raised about the safety protocols during such exercises. An official inquiry has been launched to determine the exact cause of the explosion. Similar accidents occurred in 2016 and 2017 at the Kishangarh Field Firing Range, where multiple mortar explosions left soldiers injured. In 2017 alone, two explosions injured nine soldiers, while in 2016, there were three separate incidents. Additionally, in 2012, four Army soldiers sustained injuries due to a mortar explosion. The 51 mm mortar, involved in several of these incidents, was first introduced by the British Army in 1988. Due to its lightweight design and portability, it was adopted by several countries armed forces. Weighing only 6.25 kg, with a barrel length of 28 inches, it was in service with the British Army until it was phased out in 2007. The mortar has a range of 750 meters and can fire up to eight bombs per minute.

Cancer sticks: Over 11K bidi deaths in Chhattisgarh, 5.5L nationwide in 2023
RAIPUR: An extensive study carried out by AIIMS-Jodhpur on the health and economic burdens due to bidi smoking in Chhattisgarh has estimated 11,011 deaths in the year 2023, with prevalent bidi smokers believed to be around 4.1% of the states population. The study also covered various states with Uttar Pradesh reporting the maximum figure on deaths with over one lakh per annum followed by Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu with over 50,000 and 42,000 respectively dying due to bidi smoking. According to the study, the total deaths attributable to bidi smoking in India is said to be over 5.55 lakhs with 7.7% of the countrys population being tobacco users. There are a good number of studies, reports, and analysis on cigarette use and its harmful effects, but very few conducted in other tobacco forms, as per the observations made by the ministry of health and World Health Organisation. A meta-analysis was also conducted during the course of survey to account for the data from all published studies concerning disease occurrence, such like lung cancer (0.39%), tuberculosis (0.20%), oral cancer (0.32%), and ischemic heart disease (0.17%) due to bidi consumption in the state. As per one observation there were higher risks seen with bidi smoking compared to cigarettes. A state-level workshop was recently organised in Raipur to energise the tobacco control system which the officials from the health, excise, labour and transport department attended. The state nodal officer of tobacco control programme Dr Kamlesh Jain focussing on the need for enhanced awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco had expressed concern over the people addicted to tobacco despite the specified health warning on tobacco products packs. In addition to health, the AIIMS survey also made extensive observations on the corresponding economic implications and burdens owing to bidi consumption.

Raebareli (Uttar Pradesh), Nalgonda (Telangana) and Nalagarh (Himachal Pradesh) topped the list among cities with populations under three lakh. Swachh Vayu Survekshan is an initiative by the environment ministry to rank cities based on the implementation of activities approved under the city action plan and air quality in cities covered under NCAP. These cities were awarded for significant improvements in air quality through various best practices to reduce air pollution. Key activities included paving roads, promoting mechanical sweeping, bioremediation of legacy waste, solid waste management, converting reclaimed land from dump sites into green spaces, greenbelt development, intelligent traffic management systems, and Miyawaki afforestation.

SC to continue hearing Kolkata doctor rape-murder case on September 9
The Supreme Court will continue hearing its suo motu cognisance case involving the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on September 9. A three-judge bench of the court, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, will hear the matter on Monday. On August 20, the top court constituted a 10-member National Task Force (NTF), headed by Surgeon Vice-Admiral and DG Medical Services (Navy) Arti Sarin, to formulate guidelines to ensure safety, security, and facilities for doctors and healthcare staff in hospitals across India. The NTF members include D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman of the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology in Hyderabad; M Srinivas, Director of AIIMS Delhi; Pratima Murthy, Director of NIMHANS Bengaluru; Goverdhan Dutt Puri, Executive Director of AIIMS Jodhpur; Saumitra Rawat of Ganga Ram Hospital; Anita Saxena, Vice-Chancellor of Pandit BD Sharma Medical University in Rohtak; Pallavi Saple, Dean of Grant Medical College in Mumbai; and Padma Srivastava, Chairperson of Neurology at Paras Health in Gurugram. During its last hearing, the SC bench described the incident as horrific and horrendous and attributed it to a systemic failure of state machinery. The court also expressed serious concern over the death of the doctor and criticised the Kolkata police and state authorities for their inaction in promptly investigating the case and for allowing a mob to vandalise the RG Kar Hospital. The apex court warned the West Bengal government against using state power against peaceful protesters. The state must not unleash power on them. Please handle them with sensitivity. This is a moment for national catharsis, the SC bench observed. The top court said that NTF should look into the safety and wellbeing of medical professionals and other matters related to health care issues. It urged the NTF to develop an action plan to prevent gender-based violence and to create a national plan ensuring dignified working conditions for interns, resident doctors, and non-resident doctors. The court emphasised the need for a national consensus on the issue. Senior lawyer Kapil Sibal, representing the West Bengal government, informed the court that 37 accused have been arrested and 50 FIRs have been filed. The CJI noted the lack of safe conditions for doctors, particularly women doctors, and stressed the need for separate rest and duty rooms for male and female doctors. What is equality under the constitution if women cannot be safe in their workplace? he asked. The Supreme Court also took measures to enhance security at Kolkatas RG Kar Medical College and Hospital by assigning it to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). It questioned the conduct of the former principal, Sandip Ghosh, for initially misclassifying the case as a suicide and criticised the delay in FIR registration and police failure to secure the crime scene. The court also directed the removal of the deceased doctors name, photos, and videos from media and social media.
