HC: Pocso never meant to criminalise consensual ties

The Allahabad High Court has voiced concerns that the POCSO Act, intended to protect children, is being misused to criminalize consensual adolescent relationships. Justice Krishan Pahal emphasized that love-based consensual relationships should be considered when granting bail. The court granted bail to an 18-year-old accused of raping a 16-year-old, citing delayed FIR filing and lack of medical evidence.

'Internal threats are more dangerous than external ones,' says Pahalgam terror victims family

RANCHI: Expressing contentment over the recent air strike on Pakistan, the family of Manish Ranjan, the Intelligence Bureau officer who lost his life along with 25 others in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, said internal terrorism must also be tackled with the same seriousness as external threats. The family lives in Jhalda, a small subdivision in West Bengal, adjacent to Jharkhands Silli. According to Manish Ranjans brother, Rahul Ranjan, The step taken by the Indian government is commendable, but the same action should also be taken against internal terrorism as well. Action should also be taken on those who spread or support terrorism. He added, After every incident, they raise slogans of Pakistan Zindabad. They should be searched, put in the category of terrorism, and prosecuted selectively. Enemies inside the home cause more harm than outsiders, he said, urging that the fight against Pakistan should continue until terrorism is completely eliminated. Fifteen days have passed since the attack, but Manishs wife, Jaya Mishra, is still in shock. Whenever she sees his picture or hears about the incident, she gets scared and starts screaming, said Rahul. Bhabhi (Jaya Mishra) is under the doctors observation. Even now, her blood pressure is fluctuating and she is not able to talk much to anybody, he added. Rahul also informed that the process of offering her a job on compensatory grounds has begun at the departmental level. However, she has expressed her unwillingness to be posted in Hyderabad, as the place is filled with painful memories for her. She wants to be posted in Prayagraj, where she can stay with her parents, he said. Jaya Mishra holds a Masters degree in English and Sociology, along with a B.Ed degree, and has also cleared the CTET. She previously worked as a schoolteacher while living in Delhi. Family members mentioned that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Jharkhand on May 10. If given even a minute to meet him, they plan to personally request his support for Jayas transfer. Ranchi MP Sanjay Seth has also assured the family of all possible help.

Civil defence volunteers rehearse emergency response in Lucknow ahead of nationwide mock drill

LUCKNOW: A day before the scheduled mock drill mandated by the Union government, civil defence volunteers conducted a rehearsal at the Lucknow police lines on Tuesday to strengthen emergency preparedness. Meanwhile, UP DGP Prashant Kumar, on Tuesday, said that comprehensive civil defence mock drills would be conducted across all districts on Wednesday in compliance of the instructions received from the Government of India. The exercise, which involved around 200 civil defence volunteers, was aimed at training volunteers in managing large-scale emergencies and responding effectively to potential missile or air attacks. According to Chief Warden, Civil Defence Lucknow, Amarnath Mishra, the participants demonstrated coordinated responses to sirens, evacuation procedures, and protective measures designed to minimise panic and chaos during emergencies. The drill focused on practical techniques to protect civilians during missile strikes and air attacks, along with educating the public on how to safeguard themselves in such situations, Mishra added. The development comes a day after the Union Home Ministry's directives to states to conduct mock drills on May 7 to enhance civil defence preparedness. The Union Home Ministry asked the states to operationalise air raid warning sirens and train civilians to protect themselves in the event of a hostile attack. The states have also been directed to update and rehearse evacuation plans, crash blackout measures, and early camouflaging of vital plants and installations. Interacting with media persons, the UP DGP Prashant Kumar said that the Centre had identified 19 districts-- one placed in Category 1, two in Category 2 and the remaining 16 in Category 3-- for the exercise. Bulandshahr in western UP has been kept in Category 1; Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Bakshi Ka Talab, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Meerut, Prayagraj, Moradabad, Bareilly, Mathura, Ghaziabad, Jhansi, Saharanpur, Sarsawan, and Chandauli are there in Category 2; Baghpat and Muzaffarnagar, both western UP districts, have been kept in Category 3. However, keeping the preparedness in mind and also considering the local sensitivities, the state government has decided to conduct the mock drill across all the state districts, said the DGP. He explained that the exercise would involve coordinated participation from multiple agencies, including the police administration, fire services, and disaster response agencies, to cope with disasters and other critical situations. The mock drill is imperative to ensure better coordination and readiness among all response agencies, said Prashant Kumar. Meanwhile, DG Civil Defence, Abhay Prasad also confirmed the instructions received from the Centre, explaining preparations were already underway to equip civilians with the knowledge and readiness needed in case of any future conflict. He said the mock drill would be conducted between 7 pm to 9 pm on Wednesday. At present, the state Civil Defence department has offices in 15 districts but covers 26 districts through its network. As part of the initiative, an assessment of emergency medical infrastructure, response time, and coordination between various agencies would be assessed in the event of mass casualties and large-scale evacuations. The drill would also foster greater public awareness and resilience in times of national crisis, said a senior state government official.

IAF showcases night-ready airstrip on Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh

LUCKNOW: In a significant boost to Indias defence capabilities, the Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted a powerful display of fighter jet operations on a newly constructed 3.5-kilometre airstrip along the Ganga Expressway in Peeru village, Jalalabad tehsil of Shahjahanpur district, marking a major milestone in military preparedness amid heightened security concerns. It is the first airstrip on any expressway in the country equipped to handle both day and night landings of fighter jets with the help of advanced lighting and navigation systems installed on-site. The airstrip is part of the around 594-kilometre-long Ganga Expressway connecting Meerut to Prayagraj. With 85 per cent of the expressway construction already completed, this airstrip is the fourth operational stretch on a UP Expressway designed for Indian Air Force operations. The other three facilities are there on the Agra-Lucknow, Purvanchal, and Bundelkhand Expressways. However, the one on Ganga Expressway is the first among them to support night operations. The IAF conduct fighter jet exercises at the Shahjahanpur airstrip in two phases. The drills featured aircraft like the Rafale, Sukhoi-30 MKI, Mirage-2000, MiG-29, Jaguar, C-130J Super Hercules, AN-32 transport aircraft, and MI-17 V5 helicopters. The IAF fighter jets conducted flypasts over the expressway as part of a broader exercise designed to assess the viability of the facility as an alternative runway in the event of war or national emergencies. Take-off and landing drills were carried out throughout the day and late into the evening to test the airstrip's full operational spectrum, including its night capabilities, showing the preparedness of IAFs night campaigns. The airstrip has been developed using specially engineered materials to bear the weight and pressure of heavy-duty military aircraft. It features precision approach lighting, reinforced pavement strength, and CAT II Instrument Landing System (ILS) technology to ensure safe operations in low-visibility or night-time conditions. The Indian Air Force has emphasised that this strip not only enhances the country's operational readiness but also strengthens its disaster response capacity and rapid deployment capability. However, the IAF exercise came at a time of heightened security concerns, as the country is contemplating a potential action in the wake of the recent Pahalgam terror attack which claimed 26 innocent lives on April 22. To ensure security and crowd management during the high-profile event, 250 CCTV cameras were installed on either side of the airstrip. Public representatives, senior officials, dignitaries, and over 500 schoolchildren witnessed the aerial display. The state government intends to dedicate the Ganga Expressway to the nation by November this year. This Expressway will go a long way not only in giving impetus to the economic and geographical growth of the state but also it will be established as a historic step towards the national security, said an official spokesman.

Lucknow Diary | Prayagraj man feted by the British monarch

Sameer Sah from Prayagraj has been honoured with the Humanitarian Medal by King Charles III at a Buckingham Palace ceremony for his exceptional service in humanitarian emergencies and human welfare in the face of crisis. Sameer is the first Indian to have received the honour for providing medical aid in war-torn Gaza leading the first WHO emergency medical team convoy into the West Bank in December 2023. Hailing from Nainital and educated at St Josephs College in Prayagraj, Sameer is an Overseas Citizen of India. Currently living in Colchester, England, Sameer has over 30 years of experience in the human development sector. Partys interest above all, says Mayawati The BSP supremo is out to justify re-induction of expelled party members saying such decisions are entirely motivated by the interests of the party. Apparently, in a veiled reference to the repeated expulsions and readmission of her nephew Akash Anand, BSP chief Mayawati said there are no qualms if people, who have worked for the party, rejoin its ranks after leaving once. When few party members start weakening the party, or become undisciplined and lack sincerity, it becomes necessary to expel them in the interest of the party. But, after they realise their mistakes, they are taken back into party fold, Mayawati wrote in a series of posts on X. The rare achievement of a murder convict Jubilations inside a prison are rare scenes. One such occasion presented itself in Pratapgarh district jail as a murder convict scored 71.6%, highest among all the 105 inmates who took the Class 12 UP Board exams across various prisons in the state. The results of Class 10 and 12 board exams were announced recently. One of the convicts, Amethi-born Pintu alias Omprakash Gupta, 35, passed the intermediate exam with 71.6% marks while serving life imprisonment for murder. Lodged in Pratapgarh jail since June 2021, Pintu used to study at night as he worked in the jail canteen. He procured his subject books from the prison library and often took help of jail teachers.
