Maha sees 823 communal unrest since Jan
Maharashtra has witnessed 823 incidents of communal unrest since January this year, with demands for the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb and the spread of distorted facts on social media fomenting fresh trouble. Districts like Nandurbar, Pune (Rural), Ratnagiri, Sangli, Beed, and Satara have seen communal unrest in recent days due to right-wing organizations' demands for the demolition of the Mughal emperor's tomb in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The state witnessed 4,836 Hindu-Muslim related communal crimes in 2024, with 170 incidents classified as cognisable and 3,106 as non-cognisable cases. The violence in Nagpur, triggered by protests demanding the removal of Aurangzeb's tomb, highlights the role of social media in spreading inflammatory content and instigating people. While the state has taken measures to curb the spread of misinformation, concerns remain over the impact on communities and the need for promoting peace and understanding.
Shaniwar Wada murals restored after years of neglect
NEW DELHI: After years of neglect, the historic murals on the main gate walls of Punes 18th-century fort, Shaniwar Wada, have been meticulously restored, giving them a new lease of life. The delicate Maratha masterpieces had been buried under layers of lime, dust, dirt, and smoke, with flaking paint, chipped edges, and faded colours. Now, a team from the Science Branch of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), known for its conservation work on the Ajanta and Ellora paintings, has reversed the damage. These murals have finally been restored by the Science Branch of ASI through careful scientific preservation using organic solvents. Lime deposits were also removed meticulously, and areas with flaking or bulging paint were reinforced. Finally, a protective preservative was applied to safeguard these treasures for the future, ASI officials stated. Heritage enthusiasts and historians had long been urging action to preserve the murals inside the Delhi Darwaza of the fort, which served as the seat of the Peshwas until 1818. Built-in 1732 by Peshwa Bajirao I, Shaniwar Wada remains a prominent historical landmark in the heart of Pune. Originally a 13-storey palace, Shaniwar Wada was designed with security as a top priority. Alongside its main entrance, Delhi Darwaza, the fortification includes four other gatewaysGanesh, Mastani, Jambhal, and Khidki. In front of the fort stands a statue of Bajirao I on horseback. However, much of the palace was destroyed in a massive fire in 1828. The materials used in its construction were sourced from across the region: teak from the jungles of Junnar, stone from the quarries of Chinchwad, and lime from the deposits of Jejuri. The fort was completed in 1732 and remains an enduring symbol of the Maratha era.

Pilli Raju: The man who runs marathons, catches criminals and wins medals
KHAMMAM: The wailing siren of a police vehicle and the rhythmic pounding of running shoes these are the twin soundtracks of a police constable-cum-athletes life in Khammam. At 40, Khammams Pilli Raju is a role model not only for the Telangana police but also for the youth across the state. An armed police constable under the Khammam police commissionerate, Raju has broken full, half, and ultra-marathon records at the national and international levels. This is not all; he has also won numerous medals in long-distance running and swimming. His ultimate goal is to become an Ironman a long-distance endurance race comprising a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bicycle ride and a 42.1-km run without a break and the grueling 100-km border run. A native of Kothala village in Wyra, Raju comes from a lower-middle class background but has always aimed high. Speaking to TNIE, he says he also hopes to guide and motivate the youth towards health and fitness, as he believes many young persons take the wrong path due to a lack of proper direction. He was inspired to take up marathon running in 2016 by the then Khammam Rural ACP B Tirupathi Reddy. Over the past nine years, he has won around 300 medals in marathon events in the 21 km, 42 km and 50 km categories. Additionally, he has secured 40 medals in the annual state police sports meet over the last 15 years. Raju also won three medals in judo, wrestling and arm wrestling at the Telangana Police Sports Meet held in Karimnagar in January. Behind every record-breaking athlete, theres often an unsung hero. In Rajus case, its his wife, Subha Rani, a junior lecturer whose financial support has allowed him to run not just races but also towards his extraordinary destiny. While he runs the physical race, she runs the financial one. All my success is due to the support of my wife. She has been the strong foundation which has allowed us all, including our daughter, who is in Class 4 now, to be the best we can be and follow our dreams, the constable says. Asked about his plans, he mentions that he wants to achieve the Ironman title.

IPL 2025: LSG Sign Shardul Thakur As Replacement For Injured Mohsin Khan
Registered Available Player Pool: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have named India allrounder Shardul Thakur as a replacement for left-arm fast bowler Mohsin Khan, who has been ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to injury. Shardul, who went unsold at the mega auction last year, has played 95 games in the IPL for five franchises - Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings, PBKS), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rising Pune Supergiant (defuct) - and has 67 wickets to his name with an economy rate of 8.89. Thakur, an experienced all-rounder, has been signed from the Registered Available Player Pool (RAPP) at his reserve price of Rs 2 crore. A proven performer across all three formats for India, he brings valuable IPL experience, having played 95 matches for five franchises, the IPL statement read. Mohsin tore the anterior cruciate ligament tear (ACL) on his right knee last December while playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He did join the LSG pre-season camp, but had sustained a calf strain when he was bowling in the nets, which eventually ruled him out of the tournament. The 33-year-old Thakur, who went unsold in the auction, had signed a seven-match County Championship deal with Essex for the start of the 2025 season. However, this may no longer proceed as the allrounder is now required to fulfill his IPL duties for LSG. Mohsin tore the anterior cruciate ligament tear (ACL) on his right knee last December while playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He did join the LSG pre-season camp, but had sustained a calf strain when he was bowling in the nets, which eventually ruled him out of the tournament.

KIPG 2025: With Dreams Of Competing In Paralympics, Wheelchair-bound Shuttler Makes Debut
Khelo India Para Games: The focus has been on India's para-shuttlers following their fine performance in the Paralympics since Tokyo 2020. Though Indians have done well in various categories like SL3, SL6, SU5, etc in which players have impairment in upper or lower bodies, the country has not had many participants in the wheelchair category. World No. 13 para-badminton player Prem Kumar Ale, who endured a spinal cord injury in 2009, is hoping to remedy that anomaly by representing India in this category in the 2028 Paralympic Games and winning medals. Prem Kumar is all set to make his debut in the Khelo India Para Games and will be competing in mens singles, doubles, and mixed doubles categories in New Delhi. Prem Kumar Ale, currently India's No. 1 para wheelchair badminton player, is a living example of how India's soldiers are a symbol of strength and vitality, whether they are active in the army or not. Ale, who joined the Indian Army in 2005, met with a serious accident in 2009. It put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life but it did not break his spirit. He not only started a new life as a para-badminton player but enjoyed it to the fullest and won several medals at the national and international levels. Competing in the Men's Singles WH1, Men's Doubles WH1-WH2, and Mixed Doubles WH1-WH2 categories in the Khelo India Para Games 2025, the 37-year-old is today the World No. 13 Wheelchair Para-Badminton Player. As World No. 9 singles player back in 2022, he claimed 10 gold, 11 silver, and 10 bronze medals at the international level. He had reached the quarterfinals of the last Para Badminton World Championships and had a similar performance in the 2019 Para World Championships. The special thing is that in Basel (Switzerland) that year, Prem had defeated World No. 1 Thomas Wandschneider of Germany. Ale's journey as a soldier began in Siliguri, West Bengal, in 2005 when he joined the Army's nursing department as a Havildar after completing his schooling in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. A Nepalese by descent, Ale got married during his temporary posting in New Delhi in 2007. A new chapter in life was added and the journey became easier with a companion. Everything went well until 2009. Prem, who won a gold medal at the Dubai Para International with Abu Hubaida in 2021, recalled, I was happy with my wife Indira Maya Ale. But things changed two years later. In 2009, while going to duty on a bicycle, a truck hit me from behind. I opened my eyes and found myself in the hospital. I was unconscious for two months and then after four months, the doctors said that due to spinal cord injury, I would never be able to stand on my feet. It was a shocking moment but I accepted it as God's will. Ale, who won the French Para-Badminton International Championships (Level 2) title in 2024, says he had a second birth after that accident. For two years, I was treated at the Army Hospital in Pune before I was discharged. After that, I got to know about para sports from the seniors. In 2014, I started para badminton. At that time, I was at the Para Physical Rehab Centre in Pune. There were many wheelchair badminton players in the Army and seeing all of them, I also started learning. In 2012, I took early retirement from the Army and in 2014, I participated in the Badminton Nationals held in Mumbai and won a bronze medal. This medal gave me the means to live and then I never looked back. Ale, who dreams of playing in the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics, is participating in the Khelo India Para Games this year for the first time. According to Ale, para players are now getting a lot of facilities and recognition, but in 2014, the situation was exactly the opposite. There was a lack of provision for para-athletes in 2014. In such a situation, we had to face difficulties. Today, the situation has completely changed. Today almost all our stadiums are accessible to para players. There is full support from the government. Currently, Ale is practicing under Aniket Singh at Chandra Patil Academy in Pune. Earlier, he also trained under Gaurav Khanna at GKB Academy in Lucknow for four years, after which he returned to Pune to be with his family. He also has a son and a daughter. There was a lack of provision for para-athletes in 2014. In such a situation, we had to face difficulties. Today, the situation has completely changed.

IPL 2025: Tripathi Can Rattle Any Bowling Line-up As A No.3 Batter For CSK, Says Jadhav
Chennai Super Kings: Ahead of five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opening their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign against Mumbai Indians in Chennai, former India batter Kedar Jadhav said Rahul Tripathi should bat at No.3 position for the side in the yellow jersey, citing his ability to rattle any bowling line-up. Tripathi has made a name for himself as a top-order attacking batter clearing the 30-yard circle with ease ever since he became a part of the IPL fold through the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017. In last years IPL, Tripathi made 165 runs in six innings for Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he emerged as the problem solver of the missing link at number three in their chase of 215 against Punjab Kings. Now in CSKs colours, Tripathi, who had five T20I appearances for India, has been backed by Jadhav to bat at number three, a role held by Ajinkya Rahane in the last season. If Devon Conway is fit, then I'm sure definitely he'll start with Ruturaj Gaikwad. They have been very consistent and successful as an opening pair. I think after that, Rahul Tripathi is also one where I would put my bet on, as he had previous good performances for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, said Jadhav, a JioStar Marathi Expert, to IANS on Saturday. After Suresh Raina retired from CSK, they havent found a good attacking number three batter. Plus, I also think both Conway and Ruturaj are very conventional batters, but Rahul is unconventional. He can rattle any bowling lineup, which is very much needed in the first six overs. So I think these three are the key, he said. Since IPLs inception in 2008, the matches between MI and CSK have produced memorable clashes, with the rivalry between the two teams being dubbed as El Clasico of the tournament. MI, though, have the upper hand by winning 20 matches, while in the rest of 17 games, CSK emerged victorious. Jadhav, who himself won a match for CSK in 2018 by one wicket despite a hamstring injury, believes the quest to be number one between MI and CSK is the factor that adds a lot of spice to the rivalry between the two teams. Both the teams are very star-studded, and Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians are very successful franchises as they have won the IPL title five times. So, I believe that this thing of who wants to be the number one in this race, both of them always are up against each other for a tight battle. If MI wins, they will be ahead of CSK, while if CSK wins, they will be ahead of MI. So, I think it is because of the competitiveness between the two teams that it often results in star-studded clashes, he added.

Monetary policy in major economies, a return of astronauts from space after nine months and significant efforts to push for a halt in the Russia-Ukraine crisis this was another eventful week.

Central Bank Rate Actions The US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday and signalled only two rate cuts this year, in line with their December projections, while acknowledging increased uncertainty in the economic outlook. Chairman Jerome Powell said Donald Trump's trade agenda would likely drive up prices, even amid considerable uncertainty about exactly how much and whether the price changes would be 'transitory.' Across the Pacific, the Bank of Japan kept its key policy rate unchanged and signalled growing unease over the potential impact on the global economy from escalating trade tensions. The Bank of England also kept rates steady. Sunita Williams, Three Others Return From Space Sunita Williams and three other astronauts, seated inside a SpaceX Dragon capsule, returned to Earth on Wednesday after spending nine months at the International Space Station. The splashdown happened off the Florida coast. Their trip marks the sixth-longest continuous stay at the ISS among NASA astronauts, according to the agencys website. Williams has now logged the second-most time in space by a US astronaut, with 608 days total, a launch commentator said earlier, reported Bloomberg. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed her arrival, saying their unwavering determination will forever inspire millions.

Satellite transmitters to track migratory routes of nesting Olive Ridley turtles in Odisha
KENDRAPARA: Scientists of Wildlife Institute of India (WII) have fitted satellite transmitters on two female Olive Ridley sea turtles at Gahirmatha marine sanctuary in Kendrapara. Senior scientist of WII Dr Suresh Kumar said the satellite telemetry project is to track the migratory routes of the marine species. The devices are equipped with temperature sensors and surface time counters to indicate the proportion of time spent on the surface. The data will be received, analysed, and mapped at the WII. The Forest department and the WII had installed platform transmitter terminals (PTTs) on four turtles at Devi Beach for the first time in April 2001 enabling online tracking of migratory paths. According to the tagging results, just one of the PTT-fitted turtles was observed migrating southward toward Sri Lanka as they circled the seawater. Unfortunately, all four turtles had stopped transmitting within two to four months, either due to some technical problems or trawler-related mortality, said Dr Basudev Tripathy, a wildlife biologist and the officer in charge, Western Regional Centre of the Zoological Survey of India, Pune. Thirty turtles were fitted with PTTs by the Forest department in 2007, and many of them moved towards Sri Lanka. Those transmitters also stopped functioning within a year. Research has revealed significant genetic differences between Olive Ridley sea turtles in India and those from Costa Rica, Mexico, Australia, and other countries. Our research work showed that the Ridley population in the state is quite different from the turtles of other mass-nesting sites of Costa Rica, Mexico and Australia. Our research demolished the myth that the Olive Ridley sea turtles come from Australia, Costa Rica and other countries from the Pacific ocean for laying eggs at Gahirmatha and Rushikulya, added Tripathy. Around 6,06,933 Olive Ridley sea turtles laid eggs from March 5 to March 10 on the Nasi-1, Nasi-2, and Eakakulanasi island within Gahirmatha marine sanctuary.

BPCL, CIAL at the wheel of Keralas first hydrogen-fuelled bus
KOCHI: In a major step towards promoting sustainable transportation solutions, the first hydrogen-fuelled bus will soon be rolled out in the state, thanks to the collaborative initiative of the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL), the worlds first fully solar powered airport. A prototype of the bus, which uses green hydrogenthe future fuelwas displayed at the Global Hydrogen & Renewable Energy Summit held in Kochi on March 12 and 13. The states first green hydrogen plant and fuelling station is already under construction near the airport in Nedumbassery. CIAL plans to deploy the bus as soon as the plant is commissioned. Currently, 70% of the work is over. A few more pieces of equipment need to be installed. We expect the facility to be ready in a month or two, a BPCL official told TNIE . The bus, which uses hydrogen fuel cells developed by Pune-based firm KPIT Ltd, will be either deployed within the airport or used for providing short-distance airport connectivity. Authorities will soon initiate the registration process. The green hydrogen plant is being set up at an estimated Rs 25 crore. Its initial output will be used to power vehicles within the airport, starting with the hydrogen bus. Under the agreement, BPCL will oversee the establishment of the integrated plant and fuelling stations, providing technology and managing the operation. This collaborative effort will result in the worlds first green hydrogen plant and fuelling station located close to an airport setting. Green hydrogen, produced from water using renewable energy sources, is recognised as a future fuel and aligns with zero-carbon energy strategies. The under-construction green hydrogen plant near the Kochi airport | express Plan to set up jet fuel manufacturing unit on airport premises CIAL, renowned for its effective deployment of green energy through big solar plants and a hydel station, now has a cumulative installed capacity of 50 MW. Ever since the installation of the first solar plant, with a capacity of 12 MW, the airport has been augmenting its capabilities and now inked an MoU for a strategic collaboration with BPCL for setting up a 1,000 KW pilot project on the airport premises. There are also plans to set up a jet fuel-manufacturing unit within the CIAL premises, also in partnership with BPCL. The BPCL official said CIAL has submitted the proposal for building a synthetic aviation fuel unit. Synthetic fuels, or e-fuels, can significantly contribute to decarbonising the aviation sector. The government aims to announce net zero-carbon Kerala by 2050, and various campaigns towards the goal have been initiated in various sectors, including agriculture and road transportation. Central pilot projects As part of its National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Union government has initiated five pilot projects on hydrogen-fuelled buses, trucks and refuelling stations. A total of 15 hydrogen fuel cell-based vehicles and 22 hydrogen internal combustion engine-based vehicles will be run on 10 routes across the country for trial. Two routes in Kerala have been selected for the trial Thiruvananthapuram-Kochi and Kochi-Edappally. The projects are likely to be commissioned in the next 18 to 24 months, paving the way for the scaling up of such technologies in the country.
