PM Modi applauds Shivanis family, links organ donation to Indias 'Brain Research Mission'
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) The courageous decision of a family from Narmadapuram (Hoshangabad) in Madhya Pradesh to donate the organs of their loved one after a tragic road accident found special mention in Prime Minister Narendra Modis 'Mann Ki Baat' address on Sunday, as he linked the act of organ donation to Indias pioneering brain research efforts. Referring to Shivani ji, a woman from Narmadapuram, the Prime Minister said she had become a victim of a road accident. Even in that moment of profound grief, her family made an inspiring decision to donate her organs. This act, he said, has sent a powerful message to society and the entire country. Such decisions not only save multiple lives but also make advanced scientific research possible. PM Modi connected this human story to the cutting-edge work underway at the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre at IIT Madras, which he had inaugurated recently. During that visit, he had met young scientific talents engaged in research that could change the future of humanity. One of the key areas of focus is brain research. The centre has developed a world-class brain imaging technology platform that creates high-resolution digital 3D images of the human brain. Its mission is to carry out detailed 3D mapping of 100 human brains - the first such initiative of its kind in the world. The Param Shakti supercomputer is being used for this complex work. Both the government and Indian industry have played a major role in establishing the centre. The Prime Minister noted that diseases like Alzheimers and dementia still lack definitive solutions. The deeper the understanding of how the human brain functions, the greater the chances of finding new pathways for treatment. The data generated from this research will be made available as open source for scientists across different fields. Highlighting the critical role of organ donation in such advanced studies, PM Modi said people who donate organs after death not only give the gift of life to others but also enable breakthrough research. He held up the decision of Shivanis family as an example worthy of emulation by society. Bilash Tanti Sharma, popularly known as Shivani, a resident of Khapa Khurd village in Bankhedi tehsil of Narmadapuram district, met with a severe road accident on October 10, while travelling with her family for darshan at the Vijayasan Devi Temple in Salkanpur during Navratri. She sustained critical head injuries and was admitted to AIIMS Bhopal, where doctors declared her brain-stem dead on October 14. In their moment of immense grief, her family took the courageous decision to donate her organs. The organ retrieval was completed on October 15. One of her kidneys was successfully transplanted at AIIMS Bhopal, while the other kidney and liver were transplanted at a private Hospital in Bhopal, giving a new lease of life to three patients. She was cremated with God Of Honour.

Bihar: Anant Singh supporter Chhotu Singh detained in Patna amid MLC polling
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 23 (IANS) Police detained Chhotu Singh, a supporter of Mokama MLA Anant Singh, in Patna on Friday amid polling for eight Bihar Legislative Council seats. The District Intelligence Unit (DIU) team reportedly apprehended him from the Karbigahiya area under the jurisdiction of the Jakkanpur police station over concerns about a possible law-and-order situation. He was subsequently handed over to the local police for further action. The detention comes amid heightened security arrangements during the Legislative Council elections. However, an official statement detailing the reasons for his detention and the further action taken against him was awaited. Earlier on Friday, a confrontation broke out near a polling station in Mokama between supporters of JD(U) candidate Neeraj Kumar and those of Anuj Kumar Singh, who is backed by Anant Singh and is contesting on a Jan Suraaj Party ticket. The dispute reportedly began with a heated verbal exchange between the two groups and escalated into a commotion, prompting police intervention. Barh SDPO Ramkrishna reached the spot with a police team, dispersed the crowd and detained three to four people, who were taken to the police station. The incident occurred during polling for the Patna Graduates Constituency. JD(U) has fielded Neeraj Kumar as its official candidate, while Anant Singh, a JD(U) MLA from Mokama, is supporting Anuj Kumar Singh of the Jan Suraaj Party. Anant Singhs support for a candidate other than his partys official nominee has sparked discussion about political equations in the constituency and possible differences within the JD(U). The election for the Patna Graduates' constituency has drawn attention this time not only due to the candidacies involved but also because of the political backing and local dynamics at play. The role of Anant Singh in the contest between Neeraj Kumar and Anuj Kumar Singh has further intensified the electoral atmosphere. Amidst heated political rhetoric and clashes between opposing supporters, the outcome will only be revealed once the votes are counted.

Shraddha Dubey reveals escape route, admits Amir's role in Shiva Sharma murder case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 23 (IANS) Model Shraddha Dubey, the prime accused in the murder of Shiva Sharma, has revealed details of her escape route and admitted that her boyfriend, Amir, had helped her evade the police, according to officials. During hours of interrogation, Dubey disclosed several details but remained silent on certain aspects of the case. She was subsequently sent to jail. Investigators suspect that she kept her driver, Danish, with her to prevent him from revealing her secrets. She used him as a shield and a means of facilitating her escape. In her statement to the police, Dubey admitted to travelling to Kanpur and Agra. On October 18, she reportedly visited a hotel in Kanpur to book a room. However, when the hotel staff asked her to produce identification, she left without completing the booking. Dubey feared that if her photograph went viral following the murder case, the hotel staff might recognise her and inform the police. She subsequently booked a car and left for Nagpur without staying at the hotel. She managed to evade the police for 11 days. Although she was fond of staying in large, luxurious hotels, she reportedly chose smaller hotels and lounges where identification documents were not required to avoid disclosing her identity. Dubey also travelled to Rae Bareli but could not reach her home. Fearing that she might flee abroad, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) issued a lookout circular. During interrogation, Dubey reportedly admitted that Amir had been accompanying her since Lucknow and had helped her enter Nepal through Bahraich. Following her statement, the police are likely to add Amir's name to the First Information Report (FIR). Preparations are also underway to announce a reward for information leading to his arrest. According to the DCP (Central), investigators are identifying people who allegedly helped Dubey and the other accused evade the police. Strict action will be taken against those found assisting them. Investigators have also learnt that Dubey remained in contact with several people at the locations she visited. Police suspect that someone was continuously guiding her and helping her avoid arrest. The DCP personally interrogated Dubey for hours. During questioning, she reportedly refrained from naming anyone and repeatedly complained of difficulty in breathing and speaking. Meanwhile, Dubey was arrested in Nagpur by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) and Lucknow Police, officials said on Tuesday. She had been on the run since October 9, when Sharma allegedly fell from the balcony of an apartment in Lucknow's Hazratganj area. His death was initially treated as an accidental fall, but later became a suspected murder case after his family alleged that he had been assaulted and tortured before being thrown from the building.

Noida village worships Ravan as 'Son of soil', rejects effigy burning on Dussehra
Digital Desk | Greater Noida (UP), Oct 20 (IANS) While Dussehra is celebrated across India by burning the effigies of Ravan, Meghnad and Kumbhkaran to symbolise the victory of good over evil, Bisrakh village in Uttar Pradeshs Greater Noida follows a distinct tradition of worshipping Ravan instead. Located around 30 kilometres from the national Capital, the village is believed to be the birthplace of Ravan, the demon king from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Unlike other parts of the country, residents here refrain from burning his effigy, considering the practice disrespectful to their ancestors. Instead, devotees offer prayers and perform religious rituals for Ravan. Speaking to IANS, Mahant Ramdas Maharaj said the village holds a special place in local religious beliefs and is associated with sages Brahma and Pulastya. This is Ravans birthplace and was once the ashram of Sage Brahma and Sage Pulastya. Ravan is worshipped here every day throughout the year. Today is Dussehra, and a 'yagya' is being performed. The temple has been beautifully decorated, and special prayers are being offered to Ravana, he said. He added that people from several areas visit the temple on the occasion to offer flowers and sweets. Religious ceremonies, including 'havans', are conducted during the day and continue into the evening. According to local tradition, Bisrakh was earlier known as Vishveshara, a name associated with Ravanas father, Vishrava. It is believed that Sage Vishrava was born in the village during the Treta Yuga and established a Shiva Lingam there. Ravan, who was a devotee of Lord Shiva, is also believed to have worshipped at the site. The temple has attracted growing attention on social media, bringing visitors from different parts of the country to witness the villages distinctive Dussehra observance. Bisrakh is not the only place where Ravan receives religious reverence. A temple in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur follows a different tradition, with devotees offering prayers to the ten-headed king instead of celebrating his destruction. The Dashanan Temple, located within the Kailash Temple complex in the Shiwala area of Kanpur, is known for its unique tradition of opening its doors only once a year, on Vijayadashami. The temple remains closed for the other 364 days. Speaking to IANS, temple priest Pandit Ram Bajpai said, The shrine was built in 1868 by Maharaj Guru Prasad Shukla. On Dussehra, the temple doors are opened in the morning, following which the idol of Ravana is ceremonially bathed with milk and holy water. The rituals are then performed according to traditional customs, followed by prayers and aarti. The temple's distinctive tradition stems from the belief that Ravana should not be viewed solely as a symbol of evil but also as a highly learned scholar, an intelligent ruler, and a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. Devotees visit the shrine on Vijayadashami to seek blessings and offer prayers, flowers, and oil lamps. The annual opening draws worshippers who wish to pay their respects to Ravana's scholarly attributes and his devotion to Lord Shiva. Similarly, while Dussehra celebrations across the country traditionally culminate in the burning of Ravanas effigies, a village in Madhya Pradeshs Vidisha district, too, observes the festival differently, worshipping the King of Lanka, affectionately known as 'Ravan Baba', as its presiding deity. Speaking to IANS, Pandit Naresh Tiwari, the priest at the Ravan temple, said the villagers believed that Ravan Baba protected the community and that every auspicious occasion should begin with his blessings. Located in Nateran tehsil of Vidisha, Ravan village is home to an ancient temple believed by locals to date back to the Parmar era. The temple houses a 12-foot idol of Ravana in a reclining posture, where daily prayers and aarti are performed. Rather than burning his effigy on Dussehra, villagers organise Ramayana recitations, devotional singing, and a grand community feast, drawing devotees from Vidisha, Bhopal and neighbouring areas. Our village, named Ravan, has an idol of Ravan Maharaj established. Ravan Baba Maharaj presides here, and our entire village resides under his protection. All our tasks are accomplished through him, Tiwari said. The priest added that villagers seek the deitys blessings before weddings, pre-wedding rituals, Bhagwat Kirtans, and Ramayana recitations. According to him, failing to seek the deitys blessings before beginning an auspicious undertaking is believed to invite obstacles.
