Sushilkumar Shinde lauds Sanjay Nahars three decades of social service

Pune, Aug 28: I salute the work of Sanjay Nahar, who was the first to reach every part of the country where there were problems and sorrows, and who gave the message that 'Maharashtra is with you' - not in his own name, but on behalf of Maharashtra, and who has continuously kept the yajna of social service alive, said former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. He was speaking from the presidential chair at function organized to mark a triple occasion - the release of 'Sarhadcha Sangati', a felicitation volume on renowned social worker and founder-president of Sarhad Sanjay Nahar, and the 30th anniversary of Sarhad. Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari was present online. Maharashtra's Minister for Higher and Technical Education Chandrakant Patil, Minister of State for Urban Development and Transport Madhuri Misal, President of Vidarbha Sahitya Sangh Girish Gandhi, former MP Ranjitsinh Mohite Patil, ABP Editor Rajiv Khandekar, Assam MP Pramod Bodo, Ladakh MP Mohammed Haneefa Jan, senior entrepreneur from Jammu and Kashmir Mushtaq Chaya, Editor of Greater Kashmir newspaper Fayaz Kaloo, were present on the occasion. An audio-visual film on the work of Sarhad and Sanjay Nahar was shown. Former Union Home Minister Shinde said, When no one dared to go to Punjab after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Nahar went to burning Punjab. He visited hamlets and settlements. He met the grieving, orphaned souls there. He consoled them. He came out on the streets and helped them directly. In a difficult situation, he gave the message that Maharashtra is with you. As soon as the situation became serious in Kashmir, he reached Kashmir. Taking full responsibility for the future of orphaned children, he arranged for their accommodation and education in Pune. There is no gap between Nahar's thought and action. Without fearing adverse conditions, death threats and attacks, he has continued the yajna of social service like a vow. His life of action is inspiring. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said, Sanjay Nahar's work of public awakening to keep national unity and integrity intact is a matter of pride. When conflict flared up in the border areas of the country, Sanjay Nahar made organized efforts to awaken patriotism. In burning Punjab, he undertook 21 peace marches with a sense of social responsibility. He has risen above all differences, preserved the bond of humanity and brought about qualitative transformation in many areas. At a time when the crisis of thoughtlessness rather than difference of opinion is visible all around, Sanjay Nahar has created an ideal of social work by maintaining social sensitivity. Chandrakantdada Patil recalled some memories from the time of the student movement. Wherever there is a problem in the country, there is Sanjay Nahar. Sanjay is a personality who is constantly striving and active to make the feeling of integrity flourish. He has worked to remove wrong, inappropriate thoughts from the minds of students and inculcate right, patriotic thoughts. Madhuri Misal described Sanjay as a person who has been associated with a bond of affection since the student movement and who has maintained continuity of service for the nation through relentless struggle. Ladakh MP Haji Haneefa Jan said that Sanjay Nahar has shown the path of development, employment and education by exploring many different possibilities of tourism in Ladakh and Kashmir.

Census 2027: Amit Sharma reviews preparations for special-charge enumeration in J&K, Ladakh

The Directorate of Census Operations, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, on Thursday convened a strategic coordination meeting with nodal officers of the Defence forces, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and other organisations to finalise preparations for population enumeration in Special Charges in the snow-bound areas of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. The enumeration is scheduled to be conducted from September 1 to 30, 2026, as part of Phase-II of Census 2027. The meeting was chaired by Amit Sharma, IAS, Chief Principal Census Officer and Director, Census Operations, J&K and Ladakh. The meeting focused on ensuring complete, secure and accurate enumeration of all eligible personnel and members residing in Special Charges, which include Defence and CAPF establishments, training centres, research institutions and other restricted-access locations where civilian Census functionaries may not have access. Representatives of the CISF, ITBP, CRPF, Assam Rifles, Railway Board, Air Force, Border Roads Organisation (BRO), BSF and SSB from Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh participated in the meeting. Addressing the participants, Sharma said Census 2027 would be Indias first census to be conducted digitally, while the population enumeration exercise in Special Charges had been structured to meet the security and operational requirements of such establishments. He said the Directorates objective was to ensure that every eligible person was counted accurately, irrespective of the nature or location of the establishment, while maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and security. Sharma explained that Census Charge Officers, Enumerators and Supervisors for Special Charges would be appointed from among officers and personnel of the respective establishments. The nodal officers of individual forces and organisations would coordinate with the Directorate for the appointment of Census functionaries, training, provision of Census material and timely completion of the enumeration. The population enumeration will cover questions relating to basic information, demographic and social characteristics, language, education, economic activity, migration, fertility and other particulars. Certain questions concerning economic activity and migration will follow specific provisions applicable to Defence and CAPF personnel. Detailed training will be provided to Special Charge Officers, Enumerators and Supervisors to ensure a uniform understanding of Census concepts, definitions and procedures. The meeting placed particular emphasis on training and standardisation. Training for nodal officers, Charge Officers, Enumerators and Supervisors deployed in Special Charges in snow-bound areas is scheduled to be conducted shortly. The Directorate will provide the necessary instruction manuals and Census material, while the respective nodal officers and Special Charge Officers will facilitate training and field arrangements in coordination with Census authorities. The participants also reviewed arrangements for supervision, data entry, secure handling and transfer of Census material, appointment of Census functionaries and coordination mechanisms required to complete the exercise within the prescribed timeframe. Sharma said the September enumeration was particularly significant for snow-bound areas of Jammu & Kashmir and the Union Territory of Ladakh, where population enumeration is being undertaken ahead of the main national enumeration schedule due to the regions distinctive climatic and geographical conditions. He stressed that close coordination between the Census Directorate, Defence forces, CAPFs and other specialised organisations would be critical to ensuring complete Census coverage. The Chief Principal Census Officer expressed confidence that the coordination established with the participating organisations would facilitate smooth, secure and comprehensive population enumeration across all Special Charges, contributing to the successful conduct of Phase-II of Census 2027 in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Nepal Flash Flood Devastation Reignites India's Fear Around Ticking Chinese Mega Dam 'Water Bomb'

A deadly flash flood near the NepalTibet border has revived Indias concern over Chinas massive Medog hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo, which becomes the Siang in Arunachal Pradesh and the Brahmaputra further downstream. Initial reports blamed an earthquake, but the US Geological Survey later identified the seismic signal as a landslide linked to a glacial collapse and debris flow. The disaster destroyed roads, bridges and settlements, while hundreds remained missing. Chinas planned Medog project could generate 60,000 megawatts and is expected to become the worlds largest hydropower facility. Its location in a highly seismic Himalayan zone worries India. The key concerns are sudden water releases, reduced flows, landslides, ecological damage and weak data sharing. This report explains what is confirmed, what remains uncertain and why Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are watching closely. Is this a warning of a larger Brahmaputra crisis?
