Uttarakhand to reimburse SGST on 'Hanuman Ansh' tickets

Digital Desk | Dehradun, Sep 16 (IANS) The Uttarakhand government has decided to reimburse the State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) collected on tickets for screenings of the film 'Hanuman Ansh' in cinemas and multiplexes across the state as part of an initiative to promote the film. Director General of Information Banshidhar Tiwari has issued an order in this regard, directing the State Tax Department to take necessary steps for reimbursement of the SGST applicable to ticket sales for the film. According to the order, both Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) and SGST are levied on ticket sales for screenings of 'Hanuman Ansh' at cinemas and multiplexes in Uttarakhand. The state government has now decided to reimburse the SGST component to encourage and promote the film, which is based on the spiritual journey of a man who later became known as Neem Karoli Baba. 'Hanuman Ansh' tells the story of Laxman Das, who went on to become widely known as Neem Karoli Baba. The film seeks to portray his spiritual transformation and journey from an ordinary life towards devotion and spirituality. The narrative follows the life of a man whose experiences gradually lead him towards a deeply spiritual path, eventually transforming him into a revered figure who became a centre of devotion for millions of followers. The film has been directed by Vishal Chaturvedi. Actor Shobhinav Satya portrays Neem Karoli Baba, while Chandan K. Anand plays the character of Dr Ram Nandan Bhosale. The film also features Purnima Tiwari and veteran actor Anil Rastogi in important roles. 'Hanuman Ansh' has been receiving a strong response from audiences since its theatrical release. The film opened with collections of around Rs 10 lakh in theatres but has continued to draw audiences even after completing more than 35 days of its theatrical run. The film has also witnessed a significant rise in earnings during weekends, with its collections showing an upward trend despite the passage of several weeks since its release. According to the figures cited for the film, 'Hanuman Ansh' has already crossed the Rs 200-crore mark in gross collections in India, adding to its theatrical performance and audience response. Uttarakhand is not the only state to have extended a tax-related benefit to the film. In Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai declared 'Hanuman Ansh' tax-free after watching the movie along with members of his Cabinet in Raipur on September 11. The Chhattisgarh government said the film highlights important cultural, spiritual and moral values associated with India's saint traditions. It also noted that the themes presented in the movie could be beneficial for young people and families and encouraged audiences to watch the film.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo: Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) President Kapil Dev and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday inaugurated the Nava Raipur Open 2026 at the Fairway Golf & Lake Resort.

Nava Raipur has been planned as a city of opportunity, and sport must be part of that opportunity, Sai said. A national tournament of this scale will go a long way in promoting golf tourism in the state and encourage more young people from Chhattisgarh to view golf as a sport they can learn, pursue and excel in.

Golf is an Olympic sport, and young Indian players today have a clear international stage to aspire to. When children watch the country's leading professionals compete, they see how discipline, concentration and consistent effort can take them from junior golf to representing India at the Asian Games and the Olympics. Bringing DP World PGTI to Nava Raipur can help turn that interest into ambition, the former India cricket captain said. Meanwhile, PGTI CEO Johl reflected on Nava Raipur having the potential to become a leading golfing destination. Nava Raipur has the infrastructure, hospitality and potential to emerge as a leading golfing destination.

ED arrests Chhattisgarh officer in CGPSC exam money laundering case

Digital Desk | Raipur, Sep 14 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) Raipur Zonal Office has arrested Chetan Borghariya, former Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister's Office and currently Additional Collector of Balrampur-Ramanujganj, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), an agency statement said on Monday. The arrest, effected on September 11, relates to alleged money laundering linked to irregularities and manipulation in the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) State Service Examinations of 2020 and 2021. The ED probe stems from an FIR registered by the Economic Offences Wing/Anti-Corruption Bureau (EOW/ACB), Raipur, concerning large-scale corruption in the examinations. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) later took over the predicate offence investigation, registering an FIR against then CGPSC Chairman Taman Singh Sonwani and others, and filing charge sheets, the ED said in a press release. According to ED findings, Utkarsh Chandrakar, Anil Chandrakar, and Vikash Chandrakar allegedly collected illegal gratification exceeding Rs 3 crore from candidates of the 2021 examination. They assured provision of question papers in advance and selection by leveraging purported access and influence in the then Chief Ministers Office. Borghariyas name and official position as OSD were allegedly invoked in these assurances, it said. Investigation revealed that leaked question papers were distributed to certain candidates. Prior to the Preliminary Examination, candidates gathered at Siddhi Vinayak Marriage Palace in Raipur, where the papers were handed over. They were later accommodated at Barnawapara Sanctuary Resort, where coaching based on leaked Mains papers was allegedly provided, said the release. Financial probes uncovered cash deposits totalling Rs 66.64 lakh through 170 transactions in Borghariyas bank account during the relevant period, along with multiple transactions between him and Utkarsh Chandrakar. The ED had searched Borghariyas premises on September 1, seizing digital devices including mobile phones. Forensic analysis of these devices revealed communications with Utkarsh Chandrakar regarding financial transactions and demands for repayment. Further trails pointed to transactions involving M/s Figurecave E-Com (OPC) Private Limited, suspected of being used for layering and movement of funds. Evidence comprising digital records, banking data and statements recorded under PMLA indicated Borghariyas involvement in the acquisition, possession, concealment and use of proceeds of crime. Borghariya was arrested under Section 19 of the PMLA and produced before the Special Court (PMLA), Raipur, which sent him to six days of ED custody for further investigation. The probe continues.

Digital Desk | Raipur, Sep 10 (IANS) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday made it clear that collectors, superintendents of police and other senior officers will be held personally accountable if any building posing a threat to human life is found neglected under their watch. Addressing a high-level review meeting through video conferencing from his official residence, the Chief Minister told divisional commissioners, inspectors general of police (IGs), collectors, superintendents of police and other senior administrative and police officers that the safety of students and citizens remains the governments highest priority. Do not wait for an incident to occur. Identify potential hazards in advance and take effective action, Sai instructed the officers. He directed immediate inspections and safety audits of hostels, paying guest accommodations, coaching centres, schools and large educational buildings across all districts of Chhattisgarh. Wherever safety deficiencies are detected, necessary corrective measures must be completed within a fixed timeframe, the Chief Minister said. He specifically asked officers to assess the actual condition of old and dilapidated structures in schools, libraries, hostels and other public places. Buildings found to be in a precarious state or capable of endangering lives should be identified at once and appropriate action taken without delay. CM Sai stressed that institutions housing children and students must strictly adhere to safety standards. He called for the development of a continuous monitoring system in every district so that risks are spotted and eliminated before any tragedy occurs, rather than action being taken only after a complaint or accident.

Centre earmarks four MBBS seats for terror victims kin

Srinagar, Sep 08: In a significant support measure for families affected by terrorism, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has earmarked four MBBS seats from the Central Pool for the academic year 2026-27 for spouses and children of civilian victims of terrorism. According to an official notification, the MHA, in a time-bound communication to the Chief Secretaries of all States and Union Territories,hasasked administrations, including Jammu and Kashmir, to give wide publicity to the scheme and invite applications from eligible candidates. Of the four seats, one has been earmarked at A.N. Magadh Medical College, Gaya, Bihar; one at Grant Medical College, Mumbai, Maharashtra and two at Pt. JNM Medical College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, the official letter reads. The ministry said the initiative is aimed at extending educational support to families that have suffered the devastating consequences of terrorism. As per the eligibility criteria, the candidate must be the spouse or child of a deceased or disabled civilian victim of terrorism, besides fulfilling the prescribed age, educational and NEET-UG 2026 qualification requirements, it states. The MHA has laid down a clear order of priority for allotment. Priority-one will go to children whose both parents have been killed by terrorists. Priority-two covers children of families whose sole breadwinner was killed by terrorists, while Priority-three includes wards of victims who suffered permanent disability or serious injury in terrorist operations. The seats will beallotted on the basis ofNEET (UG)-2026 rank, subject tofulfilment ofthe prescribed eligibility conditions. The ministryhasdirected that priority-one candidates be considered first, followed by priority-two and priority-III candidates if seats remain available, the official letter reads. Importantly, the benefit will be restricted to one ward of a civilian terror victim. If one ward has already availed the benefit, another ward from the same family will not be eligible for consideration under these reserved seats, he said. The MHA has asked State Governments and UT administrations to ensure proper verification and authentication of applications before forwarding them to the ministry. It may kindly be notedthat onlythe applicationreceived by December 12, 2026 in the Ministry of HomeAffairs,will be considered for allotment of the abovementioned seats.

Eligible candidates from J&K and other States and Union Territories have thus been given a narrow window to submit their applications, with the deadline fixed for September 12, 2026. The measure comes as an important educational lifeline for children and families who have borne the human cost of terrorism, offering deserving candidates an opportunity to pursue medical education through the Central Pool.

Among those killed were the then State Congress President Nand Kumar Patel and his son Dinesh Patel, former Leader of the Opposition Mahendra Karma, former Union Minister Vidya Charan Shukla, and former MLA Uday Mudliyar. Several civilians and security personnel also lost their lives. Mahendra Karma, widely regarded as the initiator of the Salwa Judum movement, was specifically targeted; he was shot more than 100 times after the Maoists identified him during a systematic check of the vehicles that began around 5:30 p.m. The Central government handed over the investigation to the NIA on May 27, 2013. The agency filed its first chargesheet in the special court on September 24, 2014, naming 39 accused. A supplementary chargesheet submitted on September 28, 2015, added 88 more names. In the specific trial that has now concluded, the NIA had presented a nearly 1,000-page chargesheet in 2015 that focused on 11 accused, 10 of whom remained alive and in custody at Jagdalpur Central Jail. The prosecution examined 101 witnesses. The defence did not present a single witness. When the Congress government assumed office in Chhattisgarh in 2018, the then Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to re-examine aspects of the case. The High Court later stayed the SIT's investigation, and the matter continued before the NIA special court. The 2013 attack occurred ahead of the Chhattisgarh Assembly elections, when the Congress was seeking to challenge the then Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by the then Chief Minister Raman Singh. The targeting of senior leaders, particularly Mahendra Karma because of his association with the anti-Maoist Salwa Judum campaign, underscored the depth of the Maoists' hostility toward political figures perceived as threats to their influence in the Bastar region.
