'Healthy competition' helps Tanya Chaudhary set national record in hammer throw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A healthy competition with fellow trainee Anushka Yadav proved beneficial for Tanya Chaudhary of Uttar Pradesh as he set the national record in women's hammer throw in the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi. It was like the fulfilment of a dream for Tanya, and the fact that she set a new mark just before the upcoming Asian Games was like icing on the cake as the 22-year-old took the spotlight on the opening day of the meet on Thursday. Day One of the prize-money meet saw two national records being set in the hammer throw, with Tanya achieving the feat that she has been chasing for the past three years. Tanya achieved her quest by improving the national record in the womens hammer throw as she hurled the iron ball to a distance of 68.35m, improving the national record of 65.25m, which was set by Sarita Singh in 2017. My previous personal best is 63.91m. I have done 65m-plus two or three times (at the inter-university level), but those were not official. Now, I am able to do it (break the national record). It is a new beginning, she said. Normally, I used to be nervous. But I was focused on my technique today. Tanya, who trains along with Anushka at the same ground at Bhagpat in Uttar Pradesh under different coaches, said the healthy competition helped her move forward. We both are from the same ground. So, there is healthy competition between us. So, it is good for both of us to move forward. Though Tanya could not breach the Asian Games qualifying mark, she has made it to the team for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya in Japan and is looking forward to continuing the momentum in Japan. It was because of injury. Now I feel I will do better. I had multiple injuries at the same time: a hamstring injury and a stress injury in the femur bone. The injuries were going on since January. In the men's section, Delhis Nirbhay Choudhary recorded a throw of 71.02m, which was better than the previous national record of 70.73m set by Neeraj Kumar in 2016. The other major attraction for Indian athletics fans was the successful return to action by Avinash Sable in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Sable, representing Maharashtra, won the steeplechase in a time of 8 minutes 32.39 seconds in his first race in the distance in more than a year. Spotlight was also on 400m runners as the top six finishers in the mens race clocked below 46 seconds. Top three in the womens 400m race also dipped below 53 seconds. I will do better and win a medal at the Japan Asian Games, said Vishal TK, winner of the gold medal and national 400m record holder, in the post-race interaction. Maharashtras promising sprinter Harita Bhadra, winner of the womens 100m dash, said the Indian Athletics Series Final was good preparation for the Asian Games. It was a good experience for me to race in the 100m dash with the top sprinters, Harita added. Odishas Animesh Kujur won both the 100m and 200m dash in the mens section.

Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 10 (IANS) The Odisha Police has rescued 101 missing Odia children in 17 states under its Operation Anweshan campaign, conducted between August 28 and September 8, said Shyni S, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) of Crime Against Women and Children Wing (CAW & CW), on Thursday. The special drive was executed by the CAW & CW of Odisha Police in collaboration with the state Women and Child Development (W&CD) Department, with a focus on tracing missing children outside the state. As part of the operation, as many as 17 specialised teams were deployed to several states and Union Territories where Odia children are frequently found. These states include Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, New Delhi, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. The police teams conducted field-level searches, verified the leads, and coordinated with the local authorities as well as various Child Care Institutions (CCIs) during the operation. According to the CAW & CW, the 101 traced children comprise 54 boys and 47 girls. The youngest among those rescued was a three-month-old infant found institutionalised alongside her minor mother, while the child institutionalised for the longest duration had spent more than five years away from home. The Odisha Police also noted that out of the total traced children, 83 (46 boys and 37 girls) were found lodged in Child Care Institutions, while seven others, including six boys and one girl, were rescued from commercial labour sites. Another 11 children, consisting of two boys and nine girls, were traced against missing person cases already registered in Odisha. West Bengal accounted for the highest number of recoveries with 30 children, followed by Karnataka with 11, and Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu with 10 each. All the traced children have either returned or are in the process of being repatriated to Odisha for their formal reintegration and rehabilitation. Mrinalini Darswal, Commissioner-cum-Secretary of Odisha W&CD Department, proactively supported the efforts of police in this campaign, while the legal-cum-Probation Officers from the department provided necessary support during the campaign.
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. On another front, the Chief Minister ordered a coordinated state-wide campaign against illegal and adulterated liquor. Police, excise department and district administrations have been directed to form joint teams and conduct raids at places suspected of manufacturing, storing, selling or adulterating illicit liquor. Special emphasis was placed on tightening surveillance along border areas and major transportation routes to stop the inflow of illegal liquor from neighbouring states. Officials were told to share intelligence regularly and take the strictest legal action against those found involved.

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. No extension of the last date and no reminder will be issued, the communication states. 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.

Chhattisgarh: Dreaded Maoist leader Prabhakar, wife get 7 years jail term
Digital Desk | Kanker (Chhattisgarh), Sep 8 (IANS) An Additional District and Sessions Court in Chhattisgarh's Kanker has sentenced five Maoists, including the dreaded North Bastar leader Prabhakar and his wife Raje Kange, in a case related to an attack on security forces in 2015. This marks the first instance of a top Maoist cadre being sentenced by a court since the region was largely freed from Maoist influence. Prabhakar, a cadre of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC), and his wife Raje Kange, associated with the Divisional Committee Member (DVCM) rank, were each sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The three other Maoists involved in the case were awarded five years' imprisonment each. The case originates from 2015, when a group of Maoists attacked a team of security forces that was conducting a search operation in the Korar region. Following the incident, police registered a case against Prabhakar, Raje Kange and their aides. After remaining absconding for several years, Prabhakar was arrested by police in 2024. His wife Raje Kange was taken into custody shortly afterwards. Extensive interrogation followed, after which investigators filed a detailed chargesheet in court supported by substantial evidence. Police officials told that Prabhakar and Raje Kange together face nearly 60 criminal cases. The Chhattisgarh government had announced a reward of Rs 25 lakh for Prabhakar and Rs 8 lakh for his wife. Strong evidence establishing the presence and active involvement of the two leaders in the Korar encounter was placed before the court. On the basis of this evidence, the court held all the accused guilty and pronounced the sentences. Officials described the court judgment as significant, noting that it is the first time a high-ranking Maoist cadre from the region has been convicted and sentenced after the substantial decline of Maoist activities in the area. The judgment is expected to further strengthen the legal process against remaining Maoist elements and reinforce the message that those involved in attacks on security forces will be brought to justice through the courts.

Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal, formerly a judge of the Chhattisgarh High Court, was sworn in as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court at a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan here on Monday. Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde administered the oath of office in the presence of senior judicial officers, government representatives and top administrative officials. Following the oath-taking ceremony, Justice Agrawal signed the warrant of appointment issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan, formally completing the process of assuming charge as the new Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Deputy Chief Ministers Diya Kumari and Premchand Bairwa, several state ministers and all judges of the Rajasthan High Court attended the ceremony. Rajasthan Chief Secretary V. Srinivas was also present. The ceremony also saw the presence of outgoing Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, whose tenure had been the subject of controversy in recent months. The appointment of Justice Agrawal comes at a significant time for the Rajasthan High Court, following developments surrounding the office of the Acting Chief Justice. With his formal assumption of office, Justice Agrawal will now oversee the judicial and administrative functioning of the Rajasthan High Court. As Chief Justice, he will have a key role in the allocation of judicial responsibilities, administrative supervision and ensuring the smooth functioning of the court. The swearing-in ceremony brought together the state's top political, judicial and administrative leadership, underlining the importance of the change at the helm of the High Court. Justice Agrawal's appointment is expected to usher in a new phase for the Rajasthan High Court, with the new Chief Justice taking charge of the institution's judicial administration and day-to-day functioning. The formal ceremony at Raj Bhavan marked the beginning of Justice Agrawal's tenure as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. His appointment assumes added significance as the court moves forward following the recent controversy involving its previous acting leadership. Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta had recently written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant seeking Justice Sharma's transfer out of Rajasthan and appointment of a regular Chief Justice from another High Court. Justice Mehta had raised allegations concerning Justice Sharma's exercise of administrative powers and the listing of cases. The controversy also triggered protests by lawyers at both the Jaipur and Jodhpur benches of the Rajasthan High Court, with lawyers demanding that Justice Sharma be divested of his charge as Acting Chief Justice. Justice Sharma, who is set to retire later this month, has denied the allegations against him.

Rahul Gandhi expresses concern on reported deaths of tribal children in MP's Balaghat
New Delhi/Bhopal, Sep 5 (IANS) Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday expressed concern over the reported deaths of 30 tribal children in Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district, alleging that lack of basic facilities such as drinking water, nutrition and timely medical treatment was claiming children's lives. The news of the deaths of 30 tribal children in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, is extremely concerning and distressing, LoP Gandhi said on social media platform X. He added that, along with this deadly disease, the lack of basic facilities such as drinking water, nutrition, and timely treatment is claiming the lives of children. This is a complete failure of the state government. The Chief Minister (Mohan Yadav) himself should resolve this issue and ensure immediate investigation, treatment and relief in the area. There can be no compromise when it comes to the lives of children, LoP Gandhi's social media post said. Rahul Gandhi's remarks came amid reports of deaths of Baiga tribal children in villages of Birsa block in Balaghat, where the state health department has intensified screening and surveillance. Earlier in the day, Madhya Pradesh Leader of Opposition (LoP) Umang Singhar wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his intervention in the matter and demanding a high-level medical inquiry into the reported deaths. The continuing deaths of Baiga tribal children in Balaghat are extremely painful and alarming. Deaths from treatable diseases raise serious questions about the implementation of welfare schemes on the ground, LoP Singhar said in his letter. However, the reported death toll remains disputed, with Congress leaders citing a higher toll while authorities have maintained a lower officially confirmed number and continued investigations into the causes of the illnesses and deaths. Notably, Baiga community is classified as a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), and the affected villages are located in the predominantly forested tribal belt of Balaghat. Balaghat was earlier among the two Maoist-affected districts of Madhya Pradesh. The district has now been declared free of Naxalism by the state government following sustained security operations and development initiatives in the region. The district shares its borders with Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh and has historically witnessed Maoist activity in its remote forest areas. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has visited Balaghat on August 30 and had chaired meeting with district officials to take stock of the situation and developments in the district.
Ten convicted in 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist attack on Congress leaders in Bastar
Jagdalpur/Raipur, Sep 5 (IANS) A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region has convicted 10 people in connection with the 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist attack, one of the deadliest instances of left-wing extremist violence in the state's recent history. The attack, which took place on May 25, 2013, claimed 29 lives and virtually wiped out a significant portion of the Congress' senior leadership in Chhattisgarh. The court found all 10 remaining accused guilty after a prolonged trial. Eleven persons had been charged in the case; one of them has since died. The 10 convicts were brought from Jagdalpur Central Jail to attend the final arguments. The date for the court judgment had been fixed twice after the conclusion of argumentsinitially for August 31 and later deferred to September 5before the court delivered its findings. Security forces have long described the Jhiram Valley ambush as among the worst examples of Maoist violence. On the afternoon of May 25, 2013, a convoy of Congress leaders and workers was returning from a 'Parivartan Rally' held in Sukma. Around 200 leaders and workers were travelling in 25 vehicles along the national highway under the Darbha police station limits in Bastar district when Maoists struck. The Maoists had felled trees across the road, forcing the vehicles to halt. More than 200 Maoists then opened fire. 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.
