Greater Noida: Illegal colony demolished, land worth Rs 40 crore reclaimed
Digital Desk | Noida, Sep 28 (IANS) The Greater Noida Authority, intensifying its crackdown on illegal construction and land encroachments, demolished an illegally under-development colony in Bhanauta village on Monday. Officials said the operation freed about 20,000 square meters of encroached land. According to the Greater Noida Authority, the estimated value of the reclaimed land stands at about 40 crore. Officials said certain colonisers were in the process of setting up a colony here by illegally carving out plots on land within the notified zone in Bhanauta village. Acting on the information, the officials took immediate action and bulldozed the illegally raised structures. The Authority has also issued directives for strict action against those involved in illegal encroachment and construction. The Authority demolished the illegal structures with bulldozers in the presence of security personnel. Subsequently, the Authority reclaimed approximately 20,000 square meters of land and brought it under its control. Previously, the Authority has taken similar action against illegal construction in the floodplains (low-lying areas) of Bisrakh. The Authority cleared approximately 5,000 square meters of land under encroachment across Khasra numbers 135 and 153. According to the Authority, officials are keeping a close watch on the land mafia, which is attempting to mislead the public about buying and selling land and illegal plotting within the notified area. Sumit Yadav, ACEO of the Greater Noida Authority, has also appealed to the public to obtain complete information from the Authority before purchasing any piece of land in Greater Noida. He emphasised that no individual is permitted to carry out illegal construction within the notified area. Before purchasing land, it is essential to verify the land's legal status and confirm whether construction or plotting is permitted there. The Authority has also cautioned the people against falling prey to unscrupulous and illegal colonisers offering cheap land or plots. People are advised to thoroughly check land documents and the Authority's records before investing their hard-earned money to avoid facing any legal or financial complications later, it said in a statement.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and city BJP President Harsh Malhotra on Monday accorded a grand welcome to participants of the Vadnagar-to-Varanasi Seva Sankalp Yatra as they reached the national Capital, a party leader said. The yatra has been organised to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modis birthday and the completion of 25 years of his service to the nation, a statement issued by the Delhi BJP said. The Chief Minister said, There can be no better example of One India, Great India than this journey. This journey, which has begun through all of you, is carrying across the country the message of love, brotherhood, our sentiments towards our heritage, and the deep roots of patriotism that bind us to the nation. Malhotra said, This development journey, which began from Vadnagar, will travel up to Varanasi. Therefore, all of you are also witnesses to the journey of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which began with him serving as a Chief Minister and today has led to his being known as one of the worlds most popular Prime Servants. When the Yatra, undertaken by youth on motorcycles, reached the Gurugram-Delhi border, it received an initial welcome from MPs Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and Kamaljeet Sehrawat, along with BJP National Secretary Jaiprakash, Delhi government Minister Kapil Mishra, State General Secretary Mohan Lal Gihara, Delhi Yuva Morcha President Rajat Chaudhary and Rohit Chahal, who said the statement. The above Delhi BJP leaders then accompanied the yatra from Vadnagar to the Presidents Bodyguard Grounds, where Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Delhi BJP President Shri Harsh Malhotra personally welcomed all the participants. They also participated in a tree plantation drive under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam initiative, linked to 25 schemes of PM Modi, the statement said. Senior BJP leader V.D. Sharma, BJP General Secretary Harish Dwivedi, Delhi BJP Co-Incharge Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, MP Manoj Tiwari, BJP National Secretary Jaiprakash, Delhi government ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh, Ashish Sood, Manjinder Singh Sirsa and others were present on the occasion.

Whether it is cleanliness, tree plantation, or maintaining cleanliness at religious sites while preserving them as part of Indias heritage, you are contributing to all these efforts, he said. He said that under the leadership of PM Modi, the country is continuously progressing, and it is the responsibility of all of us to contribute towards preserving and strengthening the heritage of this developed nation. He said the development journey that began in Vadnagar will continue to Varanasi, and all participants are also witnesses to PM Modi's journey, which began when he served as Chief Minister. Today, he is known as one of the worlds most popular Prime Servants. From the Presidents Bodyguard Grounds, the yatra proceeded to Sansad Marg, where Delhi government minister Ravinder Indraj Singh formally welcomed the participants on behalf of the Delhi government and wished the youth luck. They then proceeded towards Noida.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 28 (IANS) Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday announced a series of promises ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, including steps towards implementing the Old Pension Scheme, improving the status of Shiksha Mitras, and clearing pending salaries of madrasa teachers. Addressing reporters at the SP office, Akhilesh Yadav said that if his party forms the government in 2027, it would work to reform the education system and address the concerns of teachers and employees. He said the status of Shiksha Mitras would be improved by granting them the same facilities as regular teachers, while issues concerning Sanskrit schools would also be resolved. He claimed that addressing the problems of Shiksha Mitras could also help in reopening schools that had shut down. He also promised to clear the long-pending salaries of teachers associated with modern madrasas. On the Old Pension Scheme, he said that his party would take steps towards its implementation after consultations with the Finance Department. Akhilesh Yadav also targeted the BJP government over its handling of education and alleged that it was dividing society rather than addressing issues concerning jobs and education. He alleged that madrasas had faced discrimination and accused the government of providing what he described as substandard jobs and inadequate education. The SP chief also raised allegations concerning electoral rolls and the deletion of voters' names during the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. He claimed that a large number of SP supporters' names were deleted and alleged that BJP workers had sought deletions through Form 7 applications. He cited an example from Lucknow, claiming that one person had applied for deletion of more than 100 names. The Election Commission's Form 7 guidelines, however, state that an application can be made by an elector registered in the constituency, including an objection against another elector's entry or a request to delete the applicant's own name. He further alleged that fake voter entries were still being created in Noida and questioned the Election Commission's role in the electoral process. He also said courts should take suo motu cognisance of reports concerning alleged vote theft and consider ordering re-elections in West Bengal and Bihar. The SP President also referred to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, saying his party had defeated the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, and said the BJP would be completely ousted from the state in the 2027 Assembly elections. He alleged that the BJP worked in the interests of capitalists and large business groups. The remarks come as the SP steps up preparations for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. The party has recently intensified its outreach and campaign activities ahead of the polls.

SC takes suo motu cognisance of minor's gangrape in moving bus in Delhi-NCR
The Supreme Court on Monday took suo motu cognisance of the gang-rape of a minor in a moving bus in Delhi-NCR, observing that such cases underline a systematic failure on the part of law enforcement authorities. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and K Vinod Chandran said one cannot help but draw painful parallels to the Nirbhaya incident of 2012. The reports of rape cases in Delhi-NCR starkly underline a systematic failure on the part of the law enforcement and the public administrative authorities to guarantee basic public safety, the bench said. The top court said public spaces, including parks, buses, cannot be permitted to become zones of high risk due to lack of illumination, poor surveillance and other administrative facilities. A 16-year-old girl, who boarded a sleeper bus in Greater Noida, was allegedly gang-raped by its conductor and driver and abandoned near Kashmere Gate, more than 40 km away in Old Delhi, on August 4. The two accused have been arrested. The crime brou

CBI opposes bail plea of ex-judge Giribala Singh in Twisha Sharma death case
Digital Desk | Jabalpur/Bhopal, Sep 26 (IANS) The CBI has opposed the bail plea of former district judge Giribala Singh in the Twisha Sharma death case, telling the Madhya Pradesh High Court that there is ample evidence indicating her alleged complicity and that she could influence witnesses and tamper with evidence if released. In its reply filed before the High Court at Jabalpur, the agency said further investigation was continuing into certain important aspects of the case and urged the court to reject Singh's petition under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. There is ample evidence on record against the accused/petitioner showing the complicity of the accused in the crime, the CBI said, according to the document available with IANS. The agency further submitted that here is every likelihood that if the accused/petitioner is released on bail may influence the witnesses and tamper with the evidences. The case relates to the death of Twisha Sharma, who was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on the night of May 12, 2026. According to the CBI, Twisha married Samarth Singh on December 9, 2025. After the family allegedly discovered her pregnancy on April 17, a dispute arose between her and her matrimonial family, following which she left for Noida. The agency said allegations regarding Twisha's character were levelled by her husband and mother-in-law and that the issue was reflected in WhatsApp chats examined during the investigation. Twisha returned to Bhopal on April 30 and underwent an abortion, the CBI said. It alleged that she subsequently asked her mother to take her back to her maternal home, claiming she was facing continuous harassment and cruelty. On May 12, Twisha allegedly called her mother and informed her about abusive behaviour by her husband. Later that night, she was found hanging at the matrimonial house and was taken to AIIMS Bhopal, where doctors declared her dead. An FIR was registered at Katara Hills police station on May 15 against Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh under Sections 80(2), 85 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The Madhya Pradesh government subsequently sought transfer of the investigation to the CBI. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the matter on May 25, following which the CBI registered its case the same day and took over the probe. The CBI said Singh was arrested on May 28 after the High Court cancelled her anticipatory bail. It also alleged that she initially did not fully cooperate in providing her voice samples. According to the agency, CBI officials and CFSL experts visited Central Jail, Bhopal, on July 9 and 10 to obtain voice samples. Singh allegedly refused to provide the remaining specimen on the second day, following which the CBI approached the trial court. Her remaining voice samples were obtained after a court order dated July 14. The agency also alleged that both accused did not cooperate with CFSL experts during reconstruction of the crime scene. The CBI filed a charge sheet against Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh on August 17 under Sections 85, 108 and 3(5) of the BNS. It said further investigation into allegations relating to dowry death, dowry and other aspects was continuing. The agency also told the High Court that financial details of the deceased had been examined and alleged that money was transferred to her account by the accused on various occasions, while a substantial portion was subsequently used for their own expenses through her account. The CBI further claimed that co-accused Samarth Singh (Twisha's husband) had absconded during the initial investigation by Bhopal Police. The case is currently at the stage of framing of charges, according to the agency's reply.

Paragraphs 27 to 33 of that judgment recorded strictures against the DM, holding that she desired to set an example out of Chaudhary to deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of labourers. Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government moved the Supreme Court against the order. The petitions, SLP (Crl.) Diary No. 56202/2026 and SLP (Crl.) No. 18010/2026, came up before a bench of Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N K Singh. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the state, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for Roopam, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves for Chaudhary. Muted proceedings, then a clarified order During the September 23 hearing, the bench muted the audio of the video conferencing feed, cutting off media access since reporters cannot enter the courtroom in person. The Court reserved orders on interim relief that day. Later on September 23, the Court stayed paragraphs 27 to 33 of the High Court judgment, the portion recording strictures and directing salary recovery. Notice was issued, and the matter was listed for October 7. The Court clarified that the stay did not extend to the quashing of Chaudharys NSA detention itself, which stands. On September 24, the Court revised its order to make this distinction explicit, specifying that the stay operates only on the adverse remarks against the officer and the compensation direction. The LAFCs objection While the LAFCs in its letter has not disputed the merits of the stay, it has raised complaints such as that the case did not fall before this bench under the prevailing roster for NSA matters, that it appears to have been specially assigned, and that muting the live feed in a case important for media and the public undermines the openness that video conferencing is meant to provide. The special listing before a particular bench has also not enhanced confidence in the judicial process, the letter states.
