'Owaisi, Akhilesh and Rahul will not form alliance: UP minister OP Rajbhar
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 21 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar has said that AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are unlikely to come together for an alliance ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Responding to Owaisis recent remarks on a possible alliance, Rajbhar said the differences over political leadership and representation would make such an arrangement difficult. They will not form an alliance, so they should not remain under any illusion. Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi consider themselves leaders of the Muslim community. Owaisi ji wants a Muslim to become Chief Minister. Neither Akhilesh Yadav nor Rahul Gandhi likes that, so how will these people form an alliance? Rajbhar told IANS. Rajbhar also reiterated his position that Uttar Pradesh could eventually be divided into four states, with the eastern region of Purvanchal becoming a separate state. There is such a large population in Purvanchal, and the most important thing is that Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in the country. Sooner or later, whether today, tomorrow or the day after, it is bound to be divided, he said. He further asserted that if Uttar Pradesh were divided into four parts, the demographic strength of Purvanchal would make political leadership from the region significant. The day Uttar Pradesh is divided into four parts, given the population in Purvanchal, and since we are in Ambedkar Nagar, whoever we form an alliance with, it is certain that the first Chief Minister of Purvanchal will be a son of the Rajbhar community, the Uttar Pradesh minister said. Rajbhars comments came after Owaisi said AIMIM would announce its decision on a possible alliance for the Uttar Pradesh elections by October 2. Owaisi has said his party is prepared to contest the polls and wants to expand its political representation in the state. Addressing a public meeting in Kanpur earlier, Owaisi also said AIMIM was open to joining hands with parties that do not want the BJP to return to power in Uttar Pradesh for a third consecutive term. He urged such parties to work together and said AIMIM would announce its alliance, if any, after October 2.
J-K: NIT-Srinagar to open campus observatory with advanced 14-inch telescope
Srinagar, Sep 21: The National Institute of Technology (NIT) here is set to become the country's first NIT to have a dedicated campus-based observatory equipped with a high-performance 14-inch aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, officials said on Monday. The telescope provides aberration-free flat-field images for advanced astrophotography and planetary observation. The Observatory for Astronomy and Astrophysics (NSOAA) will be inaugurated on Tuesday, marking a significant milestone in science education and research, they said. The facility will bring advanced observational astronomy to the campus and create a new platform for students, researchers and the wider community to engage directly with the night sky, an NIT-Srinagar spokesperson said. The centrepiece of the observatory is a 14-inch Celestron C14 EdgeHD Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, equipped with a computerised equatorial mount and supported by specialised astronomical imaging equipment, he said. According to the spokesperson, the system includes planetary and cooled deep-sky cameras, LRGB filters, a 2.5x Barlow lens and high-speed imaging capabilities, allowing observations ranging from the Moon and planets to nebulae, star clusters and distant galaxies. The facility is being developed with scientific guidance and collaboration involving the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bengaluru, one of India's premier institutions dedicated to astronomy and astrophysics, he said. Dr Niruj Mohan Ramanujam, Scientist F and Head of the Science Communication, Public Outreach and Education (SCOPE) Section at IIA, is associated with the initiative as an advisor and collaborator, he said. His expertise in astronomy education and large-scale public outreach adds an important dimension to the observatory's vision, the spokesperson said. With the establishment of NSOAA, NIT-Srinagar will become the first National Institute of Technology to establish a dedicated campus-based observatory of this kind, providing students with access to advanced observational astronomy and astronomical imaging facilities, the spokesperson said. Speaking about the initiative, Professor and Head of the Department of Physics, NIT-Srinagar, Prince Ahmad Ganai, who is leading the project, said the observatory for Astronomy and Astrophysics is an effort to bring the excitement of observing and exploring the universe closer to our students. Our aim is to create a space where students can move beyond theoretical learning and engage directly with astronomical observations, data and scientific inquiry. We hope NSOAA will inspire curiosity, encourage research and help develop a stronger culture of astronomy and astrophysics in Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Beyond being a telescope facility, NSOAA is envisioned as a centre for experiential science education, astrophotography, observational projects, student training and astronomy outreach, he added. Ganai said the observatory can provide students with an opportunity to move beyond learning astronomy from books and simulations to actually acquiring and analysing astronomical data. Its potential impact extends well beyond the NIT-Srinagar campus. The observatory could become a regional hub connecting schools, colleges, universities and science enthusiasts across Jammu and Kashmir with modern astronomy, Ganai said. Regular sky-observation programmes, student workshops, teacher-training activities and public viewing sessions could help bring astronomy closer to young learners and encourage them to pursue physics, space science and astrophysics, he said. Ganai said NIT-Srinagar is mulling to start its hands-on course on Astronomy and Astrophysics in the coming months, where special sessions will be allotted to schools, colleges and universities in the valley as part of its outreach programme. The facility also places NIT-Srinagar among a relatively small number of Indian technical institutions with substantial campus-based astronomical observatories. IIT-Kanpur, for example, operates a 14-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain astronomical observatory with CCD imaging and remote-operation capabilities, the NIT spokesperson said.

Delhi Police trace minor girl after 8 years, recover her from Bihar
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) The Delhi Police have solved a long-pending missing-person case after the minor was found in Bihar after eight years of sustained efforts, officials said on Sunday. The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of Delhi Police's Central District successfully traced and recovered the minor girl from Bihar, bringing an end to a long-pending case registered at Anand Parbat police station. The case dates back to October 14, 2018, when an FIR was registered at PS Anand Parbat in connection with the alleged missing and kidnapping of a minor girl, who was then 14 years old and a resident of the national capital's Anand Parbat area. Following the registration of the case, sustained efforts were made by the police to trace the missing girl and ascertain her whereabouts. During the course of the investigation and search operations, the AHTU team examined footage from multiple CCTV cameras and conducted extensive searches at around 90 shelter homes for girls, 52 orphanages, religious places, and red-light areas across Delhi-NCR. Despite the extensive searches and multiple efforts undertaken over the years, the whereabouts of the missing girl could not initially be established. The AHTU team, however, continued to pursue available leads and kept working on the long-pending case. A few months ago, the team received a crucial secret input indicating that the missing girl might be present in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur. Acting promptly on the information, a dedicated team was constituted to trace and recover her. The team comprised Sub-Inspector Raj Bahadur Singh, Head Constable Surender and Woman Constable Manisha. The team worked under the supervision of Inspector Anil Yadav, In-charge of AHTU, with overall supervision by the ACP, DIU. Following the development of the lead, the police team immediately travelled to Kanpur and conducted searches at the location indicated by the source. However, upon reaching the spot, the team learnt that the missing girl had been moved from the location shortly before their arrival. The police team did not abandon the search and continued checking the surrounding areas while developing additional local sources in an effort to trace her whereabouts. Despite these efforts, no immediate clue could be established at that stage. The team continued to follow the lead and subsequently received information suggesting that the missing girl might be residing in Bihar's Samastipur district. Acting on the newly developed information, the AHTU team proceeded to Samastipur on September 15. Through sustained technical surveillance, field verification and persistent ground-level efforts, the team was able to narrow down the location of the missing girl to Shahpur Patori. The police team subsequently conducted a search operation in the area and successfully located and recovered the missing girl from Patori with the assistance of the local police. Following her recovery, the girl was brought back to Delhi on September 17 and produced for medical examination. She was subsequently counselled, and her statement was recorded under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). After completion of the requisite legal and procedural formalities, the recovered girl was handed over to her parents, facilitating her reunion with her family after eight years.
