Belagavi: Kharge Unveils Mahatma Gandhi Statue, Stresses Need for Protecting Consitution
BELAGAVI - KARNATAKA : Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, inaugurated a statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside the Suvarna Soudha in Belagavi on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. This initiative is part of the Congress' 'Gandhi Bharat' campaign, marking 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi chaired the 39th Congress Session in Belagavi during Indias freedom struggle in 1924. Speaking at the event, Kharge emphasized the critical role of democracy and the Constitution in maintaining order in the country. Without the Constitution and democracy, there would be chaos, he stated. Kharge highlighted how Mahatma Gandhi guided India to independence, while Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar played key roles in drafting the Constitution. It is every citizens duty to safeguard the Constitution, he added. Kharge explained that the statues installation at Suvarna Vidhan Soudha is a tribute to Belagavis historic significance as the only place where Gandhi presided over a Congress session. It is high time to ponder on Mahatma Gandhis achievements, sacrifices, and contributions to the nation, he remarked. The Congress president also noted that global leaders continue to honor Gandhis legacy. He urged everyone to take responsibility for upholding constitutional values. Kharge mentioned the 1924 Congress session as a turning point for Gandhis messages on removing untouchability and empowering women. He expressed his privilege in hosting an extended Congress Working Committee meeting in Belagavi and unveiling Gandhis statue there. He said that AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra admired the statue of Gandhi standing with two children and plans to replicate it in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and Kalaburagi. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in his address, dismissed claims by the BJP portraying Gandhi as anti-Hindu. He said, Mahatma Gandhi was a Hindu and not anti-Hindu, as falsely claimed by BJP. These are baseless lies. He also reminded the audience that Nathuram Godse, Gandhis assassin, came from a family linked to the BJP. Siddaramaiah concluded by recounting Gandhis last words, Hey Ram. Due to illness, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, could not attend the event and had to return from the airport. As part of the occasion, the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj University in Gadag was renamed Mahatma Gandhi Rural Development and Panchayat Raj University, with a new logo unveiled. Special postal covers were also released by Kharge and other dignitaries to commemorate the event. The event saw participation from notable leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, K.C. Venugopal, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar, and Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti. U.T. Khader, Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, delivered the welcome speech, while Satish Jarkiholi, Public Works Department and District In-charge Minister, proposed the vote of thanks.

Anil, a 24-year-old cab driver from Noida, tragically died on Saturday night after his car caught fire outside a banquet hall in East Delhi's Gazipur. He was attending a relatives wedding when the incident occurred. The fire engulfed the Wagon R within minutes, leaving Anil charred to death before he could be rescued. Deputy Commissioner of Police (East Delhi) Abhishek Dhania stated that Gazipur police received three distress calls about the incident at around 11 pm. Some bystanders broke the cars windows and pulled him out, but his body was charred beyond recognition, Dhania said. Authorities have launched a probe to determine the cause of the fire.

NEW DELHI: Given the supremacy of cities like Indore, which has held the title of the cleanest city for the last seven years in a row, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) on Friday introduced a separate category for the annual Swachh Survekshan AwardsSuper Swachh League. The cities that have claimed the title will now compete with each other in the newly launched category. The aim is to encourage other cities to make efforts to achieve the coveted recognition. Speaking at the launch of the new toolkit for Swachh Survekshan, the Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal, announced the introduction of the League. To acknowledge the exceptional performance of cities in Swachh Survekshan, we are introducing the Super Swachh League, a competition among the cleanest cities. This reflects our shared commitment to cleanliness, and our continuous innovation ensures that the Swachh Bharat Mission remains a global success even after 10 years. Our focus is on improving quality year after year, with simplified evaluation parameters that ensure clearer data from Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and maintain full transparency. This approach strengthens the missions reputation and drives ongoing progress in urban cleanliness, said the minister. The Ministry has also introduced another change in the assessment process, as cities have been classified into five different groups based on their population for the first time. Each categoryVery Small, Small, Medium, Big, and Million-Pluswill be assessed based on population and parameters tailored to each citys specific size and needs. Awards will be given to the cleanest cities in each category. This makes the new Swachh Survekshan more inclusive. Even smaller cities will be able to showcase their excellence alongside the usual stalwarts like Indore and Surat. Originally launched by MoHUA in 2016, Swachh Survekshan drives urban sanitation improvement through citizen participation and third-party validation. The cities that have ranked in the top three at least twice in the last three years (2021-2023) have made the cut. There are 12 cities in the Super Swachh League. Moving forward, the top three ranking cities in each population category will enter the league for the subsequent years. ULBs in this league will be assessed on additional aspirational indicators and must maintain a score of 85 per cent or higher to retain their position, said ministry officials. In the Super Swachh League, the Very Small cities are those with populations of less than 20,000, such as Panchgani and Patan. Vita and Sasvad are in the Small cities group, with populations ranging from 20,000 to 50,000. The Medium cities (with populations ranging from 50,000 to 3 lakh) are Ambikapur, Tirupati, and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). Noida and Chandigarh are categorised as Big Cities (with populations ranging from 3 lakh to 10 lakh), and, as per the criterion for Million-Plus cities (with populations of 10 lakh or more), Navi Mumbai, Indore, and Surat fall into this group.

Sameer app dysfunctional, complaints go unattended
Hyderabad: Ninety-six complaints registered on the Sameer app remain unresolved in Hyderabad, raising concerns over the effectiveness of the pollution-monitoring platform outside the National Capital Region (NCR). The app, developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), was designed primarily for monitoring air quality and handling pollution-related complaints. In Hyderabad, citizens who reported issues raning from air and water pollution to illegal dumping are still waiting for action. According to a senior CPCB official, the app was initially created for the NCR, which includes Delhi and its neighboring cities such as Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Meerut. Given the severe pollution levels in these areas, the app was integrated with 47 agencies in Delhi. However, such integration has not been extended to other states. In states like Telangana, complaints filed on the Sameer app are forwarded through emails to the respective State Pollution Control Boards. If officials fail to check their emails regularly, complaints may go unnoticed and unresolved. In Hyderabad, the app does not direct the complaints to local pollution control agencies. We cannot integrate the entire country into one app, a CPCB official told Deccan Chronicle. He added that states have been advised to develop their own complaint management systems to handle pollution-related grievances efficiently. Now we can clearly see how the government is actually working. If citizens are left to handle these issues on their own, then what is the point of having a separate department from the government for monitoring pollution? It is their responsibility to address these concerns, yet nothing is being done. said Navya Raj, a homemaker from the city. Multiple attempts from this correspondent to reach the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) for a response have gone unanswered. One complaint read in Sameer app Untreated sewage is let into Trimulgherry Lake by Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) and polluting the lake. Telangana Pollution Control board had served notice on 18th April 2018 and no show cause notice served from 2018. No action was taken by TSPCB against the SCB & GHMC MRO inspected & reported open defecation and dumping of garbage around the lake. Despite multiple follow-ups with EE, hesitating to serve show cause notice & SCB officials least bothered to divert sewage Multiple newspapers published articles on Trimulgherry Lake, we are tweeting TSPCB and sending emails requesting to serve show cause notice to SCB and GHMC but not serving show cause notice and not responding to our emails, Tweets etc. TSPCB should initiate serious action against the SCB to prevent untreated sewage not letting into the lake, the complaint said. Another complaint said We are getting a huge bad unhealthy smell at night due to factory emissions. The area where we reside is near the GMR convention center. Please investigate. PIN: 502319. They are burning garbage which has a lot of plastic. And they continue to do so even after telling, another complaint said. Typically, there has been no response.

Notorious 'Khan Brothers' of Siwan join Chirag Paswan's LJP(RV), eye Bihar assembly elections
PATNA: Crime and politics often go hand in hand, and this is exactly what happened when Ayub Khan and Rayees Khan, better known as the 'Khan brothers', formally joined the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), led by Union Minister Chirag Paswan, in Bihar's Siwan district late on Wednesday. Ayub Khan and Rayees Khan, whose names once spelt terror across Bihar, Jharkhand, and Uttar Pradesh, had initially tried to join Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United), but sources claimed that Nitish did not give his approval for their induction into the party. On Wednesday, the Khan brothers, along with their supporters, took membership of LJP (RV) in the presence of party chief Chirag Paswan. The Khan brothers had arranged a chopper for the party supremo for the 'Milan Samaroh' held at Sahuli High School Ground in Siwan. LJP (RV) on 'X' said, Ayub Khan and Rayees Khan, along with their supporters, joined the party after being inspired by Chirag Paswan's able leadership and his 'Bihar First, Bihari First' vision. This is a significant step towards commitment to the party's principles. Rayees Khan, the younger brother of Ayub Khan, has allegedly been involved in at least 30 cases of murder, kidnapping, dacoity, and extortion across three states. The Bihar government had announced a reward for his arrest after his name appeared in the kidnapping and murder of three youths from Siwan in 2022. In addition, he was also accused of being involved in the killing of two police personnelB K Yadav and Ganesh Prasad Yadavin Siwan district. Rayees Khan's name appeared on the list of the 10 most-wanted criminals of Siwan, recalled a senior IPS officer who previously served as the SP of Siwan. In 2022, Rayees Khan unsuccessfully contested local body elections from Siwan. During the election campaign, his election vehicle was allegedly attacked by political opponents. Rayees had then accused former RJD MP Mohammad Shahabuddin's son Osama and his supporters of orchestrating the attack. Osama, along with eight others, were named as accused in the FIR lodged with the Siwan police. In the FIR, Rayees Khan alleged that bullets were fired at his vehicle with an AK-47 assault rifle with the intent to eliminate him. However, he luckily survived the attack. The Khan brothers initially worked for Mohammad Shahabuddin's gang but parted ways after Shahabuddin's father, Mohammad Kamrul Haque, decided to contest the assembly elections in 2005. Sources said that Shahabuddin got angry over the Khan brothers' decision and distanced himself from them. Rayees Khan was arrested from Noida, Uttar Pradesh, in 2006 after a warrant for his arrest was issued by a Siwan court. At least 30 cases of murder, loot, dacoity, kidnapping, and extortion were lodged against Rayees in different police stations of Siwan (Bihar) and Ballia (Uttar Pradesh). Rayees recently announced that he would contest the assembly elections from Siwan. Sources close to the Khan brothers said that Rayees was lobbying for JD(U) and even held meetings with the party's working president Sanjay Kumar Jha and other senior leaders, but his efforts were in vain. He formally joined LJP (RV) in the presence of party supremo Chirag Paswan on January 15.

Faith stronger after holy dip, say bathers
PRAYAGRAJ: Cousins Shivanshu Dubey and Rakesh Tiwari from Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, are at the Sangam having done their Shahi Snan and feeling quite thrilled about it. Shahi Shan has been happening at the Mahakumbh for a long. What makes it special this year is that it happens during a rare celestial alignment that occurs only once every 144 years. I certainly wont be around for the next one, says Tiwari with a smile. Dubey came out of the water with a positive energy surge. It will carry me through as I prepare for the UPSC exams, he says. He ensured going for an early morning dip, at the hour of the manthan (churning of the ocean) that yielded Amrit. Whether for material or spiritual gains, or a combination of both, most who come for the Shahi Snan feel charged by the holy dip. Like the cousins from Ghazipur, residents of Prayagraj also do the dips during the annual Magh Mela. Heramb Chaturvedi, retired HOD of History at Allahabad University, says it is part of the intersectional journey between the Magh and the Kumbh. Rinku Kimari, an advocate from Prayagraj, says it is part of her familys culture. Her mother and her grandmother before her would never miss taking the holy dip. It connects her to her family, family traditions, and the traditions of the city to which she belongs. She also imbibed her feelings for the event from her grandfather, who was into astronomy. Its not about religion for me. The Kumbh happens when Jupiter aligns with the Sun and the Kumbh (the constellation of Aquarius), so you could say its about the cosmos. Its also everyones Shahi Snan. Half my neighbourhood goes and so do our neighbours, says Kumari, a resident of Alopibagh, a neighbourhood close to Sangam. Vrijender Dubey, a retired athlete from Noida now in his eighties, says the movement of a mass of people towards water reminds him of the eternal flow of life. We come, we go, and we have to keep going, he says. Pramila Thakur of Pune is a first-timer at Prayagraj for the Shahi Snan. She is here with her family but cannot spot them for last two hours. But her eyes are steady as she says, Im not worried. If coming here has made me realise anything, it is this, that my faith is strong.
