Tender scam: Jharkhand HC denies bail to former minister Alamgir Alam
RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court on Friday rejected the bail application filed by former minister Alamgir Alam, in a money laundering case linked to a tender-commission scam in the states Rural Development Department. Alamgir Alam had approached Jharkhand HC after his bail plea was rejected by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Ranchi. Arguments from both the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the defence were completed on June 26, after which the Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad-led court reserved its verdict. The seventy-year-old senior Congress leader representing Pakur was summoned by the ED after a cash haul of Rs 32 crore from the residence of his personal assistant Sanjeev Lal's domestic help. Lal and his domestic help Jehangir Alam are also in jail after the ED arrested them following the recovery of Rs 35.23 crore from their premises on May 6, 2024. Later, on May 8, the ED sleuths entered the Rural Development Ministry office in Ranchi and searched the files and recovered Rs 1.75 lakh new currency notes and Rs 28,000 old Rs 500 notes from the official chamber of Minister Alamgir Alams Private Secretary Sanjeev Lal. Alamgir was arrested by the ED on May 15 after an intense interrogation session spanning over six hours under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. It also came to light, during the investigation, that the collection of commission went to influential people under the supervision of Sanjeev Lal. Money was collected in connivance with the syndicate of engineers even for managing tenders and collecting commission. A fixed percentage was given to high-ranking people in the government, after collecting it from the contractors.
Maharashtra state council passes special public security bill; Opposition walks out in protest
MUMBAI: The Maharashtra State Legislative Council on Friday passed the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, aimed at curbing unlawful activities of Left Wing Extremist organisations or similar groups. In protest against the Bill, the Opposition staged a walk out and wrote the dissent note. Maharashtra would be the fifth state to pass this special bill after Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Jharkhand. The bill was passed with one dissent from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLA Vinod Nikole. No legislators belonging to the Congress, NCP SP and Shiv Sena (UBT) objected to the bill. However, the Congress,, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP SP raised their dissent in the state council when the bill was passed on Friday and walked out of the council in protest. The Opposition parties also wrote the eight pages dissent note and submitted it to State Legislative council chairman Ram Shinde. They pointed out that there are several loopholes in the bill and it can be misused by the ruling party to target people having left wing ideology and organisations. The dissent letter reads that this new law will empower the people who have power and there will be concentration of the power. And, this will lead to an authoritarian regime and dictatorship. If someone disagrees with the ruling party that person and organization will be targeted by labeling them urban naxal. The vagueness in law will also be misused. Besides, this law has not addressed the queries raised by the constitutional experts, opposition members and citizens. The joint committee constituted by the state government to study and change the bill, accepted only three changes in the original draft of the bill while remaining suggestions were not accepted, the letter noted. NCP SP MLA and leader Jayant Patil said that they were the members of the joint committee and asked the state government that they may make the law, but they should ensure that it should not be misused. He said today BJP is in power, tomorrow there will be a different party and a different leader will be in power therefore the law should be prepared fairly, not to target any one. Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said that this law will not be misused, but it will ensure the actions against the people who are working anti-government activities.

Maharashtra passes bill to curb Urban Naxalism; CM says it targets passive militancy
MUMBAI: The Maharashtra legislative assembly on Thursday passed a bill aimed at curbing 'Urban Naxalism' in the state, which seeks to prevent unlawful activities of Left Wing Extremist organisations. The bill is yet to be tabled in the legislative council. Maharashtra will be the fifth state after Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Jharkhand to enact a special public security law to curb 'urban Naxalism'. While tabling the 'Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill', Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the government was not against the Leftist ideology or organisations, and did not intend to suppress dissent. Fadnavis said that the government received over 12,000 suggestions and objections over this bill which was tabled in the last state assembly session in December 2024. Speaker Rahul Narvekar had suggested that this bill be deliberated closely and thus it was sent to an advisory committee. However, the CM said that the bill is a necessity, and four other states have already passed similar bills. He said the UAPA was insufficient to take action against the growing Naxalism and therefore they brought this bill. Vinod Nicole, the lone Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLA in the assembly, opposed the bill, terming it unconstitutional. The bill was passed by a voice vote. Speaker Narwekar declared it to have been passed by a majority. Chief minister Fadnavis said the bill was cleared with amendments from the joint select committee of both houses of the state legislature. The law will not be misused, he assured, adding that safety and security of the state and country were important, and to curb the activities of organisations which work against the country's democracy and the Constitution was the need of the hour. There will be no abuse of power. It is a balanced law and more progressive than that in force in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Jharkhand, he said. He then noted that the issue of urban Naxalism has persisted for a long time. The Congress-led UPA government identified major extremeist organisations and handed over to the respective states to take actions, CM Fadnavis said. He said that many academics and even some civil servants are not directly linked to the Maoists, but are a part of the movement as they are engaged in the act of radicalisation of the youth. The deeply-rooted nuisance will be addressed through this bill, he said. Due to the absence of strong law, we are unable to curb the urban Naxal movements. In Maharashtra, there are as many as 64 such organisations. Four of them are already banned in other states, but are operating in Maharashtra. The reason was that we had no law to take action against them, Fadnavis pointed out. He said this bill is not against the Opposition and anti-government voices. Under this law, the police have authority to only arrest the people who are members of the banned Naxal organisations. Police have no right to abuse. Our law would be progressive. We are not against anyone but the people who are against the Indian constitution. Therefore, this law should be passed unanimously, the chief minister said.

Jolt to Lalu as HC admits CBIs plea to extend his sentence in fodder scam
RANCHI: The Jharkhand High Court on Wednesday admitted CBIs plea seeking enhancement of RJD president Lalu Prasads sentence in the fodder scam case, in which he has already been convicted. In its petition, the CBI has demanded maximum punishment of seven years imprisonment to Lalu. Accepting the petition, the court fixed date for the next hearing after three months. The CBI has requested a harsher punishment for Lalu Prasad Yadav, along with co-convicts Beck Julius and Sudhir Kumar Bhattacharya. Earlier, the trial court had sentenced them to three-and-a-half years of rigorous imprisonment. The CBI is pressing for the maximum possible sentence in the case, which pertains to the illegal withdrawal of Rs 89 lakh from the Deoghar treasury. The petition seeks an increase in the sentence for six individuals convicted in connection with the case, out of which, three have since passed away. After hearing the arguments, a division bench of Justices Rongon Mukhopadhyay and Ambuj Nath agreed to admit the petition. On 6 January 2018, CBI Special Judge Shivpal Singh had awarded three-and-a-half years of rigorous imprisonment each to Lalu Prasad, Beck Julius, RK Rana, Phoolchand Singh, Mahesh Prasad, and Subir Bhattacharya under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Indian Penal Code. In contrast, Jagdish Sharma, then Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee in undivided Bihar, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 10 lakh. Lalu Prasad Yadav is currently out on bail. He was previously lodged in Birsa Munda Central Jail in Ranchi in connection with the case, but was later shifted to Rajendra Insitute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) due to health issues. He was eventually moved to AIIMS in Delhi. Following the failure of both his kidneys, the RJD travelled to Singapore, where his daughter Rohini Acharya donated one of her kidneys to him. Lalu has since returned to Patna and is convalescing.

Rahul Gandhi's image on sanitary pads distributed in Bihar doctored: Congress files complaint
RANCHI: Jharkhand Pradesh Youth Congress has filed a complaint at a cyber police station in Ranchi stating that visuals showing Rahul Gandhi's picture pasted on a sanitary pad are an attempt to discredit the Congress' campaign to improve menstrual hygiene in Bihar. The Bihar Mahila Congress, under the Priyadarshini Udaan Yojana, conducted a sanitary pad distribution campaign ahead of the Bihar assembly elections. Youth Congress member Shilpi Kumari lodged a complaint stating that the doctored visuals were circulated on social media platforms to discredit the party's initiative. State President of the Legal Cell, Amrit Singh, said this was an attempt to malign Rahul Gandhis image due to fear of his growing popularity. Congress leaders have accused the BJP's IT cell of being involved and have demanded a thorough investigation. The Congress leaders called for immediate action from the cyber police, citing the seriousness of the matter. The Congress maintains that efforts to politicise Congress workers said such actions not only hinder social welfare initiatives but also violate the standards of political conduct. They urged that strict measures be taken in such cases to prevent similar incidents in future.

SIMDEGA: A nine-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her school teacher in Jharkhand's Simdega district, police said on Tuesday. The accused government school teacher and two others were arrested in connection with the case, Simdega Superintendent of Police (SP) Mohammad Arshi said. The arrests were made after the mother of the girl lodged an FIR with the Kurdeg police station, alleging that her daughter was raped by her school teacher, the SP said. The incident happened on Jun 27 in a village under the Kurdeg police station limits, he said. Arshi said the teacher, who absconded after the incident, also tried to stop the family through the local panchayat from filing the FIR. Apart from the accused teacher, we have also arrested two others who held a village panchayat meeting to hide the incident. When the incident came to our notice that the victim's family was being prevented from visiting the police station by some influential people, our personnel encouraged the family to lodge an FIR, the SP said. All three accused have been sent to jail on Monday, he said. A medical examination of the victim was conducted on July 7, another police official said. The teacher reportedly took the girl to a culvert in the village and committed the crime there, he said, adding that the accused and the minor reside in the same village.

Language row: BJP MP Dubey's remarks inappropriate, risk creating confusion, says Fadnavis
MUMBAI: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's comments on the language issue in the state were inappropriate and risked causing confusion. Dubey's reported patak patak ke marenge remarks have caused a flutter. The Lok Sabha member from Jharkhand had put out a controversial post amid the ongoing language row in Maharashtra and attacks on non-Marathi speaking people. To those beating Hindi speakers in Mumbai, if you have the courage, try beating Urdu speakers in Maharashtra. Even a dog is a tiger in its own home. Decide for yourself who is the dog and who is the tiger, the MP from Godda posted on X. Asked about the controversy, CM Fadnavis said, If you listen to the complete statement of Nishikant Dubey, he particularly spoke about an organisation and not against Marathi people in general. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate to make such comments. Its interpretation causes confusion among the minds of people. The biggest contribution to the country's GDP comes from Maharashtra, the chief minister told reporters in the state Vidhan Bhavan premises. I feel no one can reject the contribution of Maharashtra and Marathi people in the history and present of the country. If someone is rejecting it, then I feel it is wrong, Fadnavis said. I repeat my comments again, Marathi people have immensely contributed to the state. When invaders tried to attack our culture, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Marathas fought across the country. During the third battle of Panipat, Abdali was ready to seal a pact but our Marathas did not so it, Fadnavis said. Twenty years on, Thackeray cousins bury the hatchet

Seven Indian agents working for Chinese cyber criminals nabbed from Jharkhand
RANCHI: In a first such achievement, the Cyber Crime Branch of the Crime Investigation Bureau (CID) in Jharkhand has arrested seven people, who were working as agents for Chinese cyber criminals. According to an official release by the CID dated July 4, the cyber police station received confidential information that a gang of organised cyber criminals was carrying out fraudulent activities in the name of digital arrest and investment from a hotel in Ranchi. Acting on this information, the Cyber Crime Branch conducted a raid at the hotel and arrested seven cyber criminals, the release said. 12 mobiles, 11 laptops, 14 ATMs, checkbooks as well as more than 60 chats of WhatsApp and Telegram have been recovered from the arrested cyber criminals, stated the official communique from the CID. The Cyber Crime Branch of the CID stated that all the arrested individuals were Indian agents working for Chinese cyber criminals. According to the investigation agency, the arrested cyber criminals used to supply mule bank accounts to Chinese syndicates from different parts of the country. Among those arrested is a special agent who was working for Chinese entities such as Moonpay, Dragonpay, Superpay, and Mangopayindia. During the search and interrogation, a significant number of digital evidences have also been seized, including WhatsApp and Telegram chats containing large volumes of bank account details linked to the syndicate, the statement said. The investigation also revealed that an application was sent from China to the Indian agents via Telegram. Cyber criminals in India would install bank-related data onto SIM cards using this application. Agents working for the Chinese syndicate were sent a malicious application via Telegram. Then the application was installed on SIM cards linked to bank accounts. Once installed, the application automatically transmitted OTPs and bank alerts to servers controlled from China, enabling Chinese operatives to gain remote access to Indian bank accounts, which were then used to defraud unsuspecting victims of crores of rupees, the CID explained. All the arrested individuals were operating in India on behalf of Chinese companies such as Moonpay, Dragonpay, Superpay, and Mangopayindia until their apprehension, the statement said. Links to the bank accounts of the arrested Chinese agents have been found in complaints related to investment scams and digital arrest cases registered in various states. These complaints have been logged on the NCPCR portal. So far, investigators have obtained statements for 60 mule bank accounts connected to the case. A total of 68 complaints have been registered against this gang across the country. The arrested cyber criminals have been identified as Deepak Kumar, Kumar Saurabh, Prabhat Kumar, Shivam Kumar, Pradeep Kumar, and Anil Kumar all from Bihar while Lakhan Chaurasia is from Madhya Pradesh.
Injured elephant dies after suspected Maoist IED blast in Jharkhand's Saranda forest
RANCHI: A six-year-old wild elephant named Gadru, which was seriously injured in a suspected IED blast planted by Maoists in the Saranda Forest of Chaibasa, has sadly succumbed to its injuries despite intensive treatment efforts. The elephant had been spotted wandering in the forest in an injured condition ten days ago. Gadru was believed to have sustained injuries on June 24, but it was only located on June 27 with the help of a drone camera. Despite exhaustive efforts by the Forest Department and veterinary experts, the elephant could not be saved. After several hours of treatment, the elephant finally collapsed late on Saturday evening due to excessive blood loss and infection. It had sustained a major injury to its hind limb, which became severely infected and spread throughout its body, said Saranda Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Aviroop Sinha. He added that further details would be available following the post-mortem, scheduled for Sunday. A joint medical team comprising members of the Forest Department and Vantara, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre from Gujarat, had tranquilised the elephant late on Saturday evening. The animal was then transported to Jhariakela from the Digha area of Saranda, but it succumbed overnight due to massive internal bleeding and injuries. Specialised teams were called in from various forest divisions in Jharkhand and Odisha to assist in locating and treating the elephant. The rescue operation was personally monitored by Jamshedpur Regional Chief Conservator of Forests (RCCF) Smita Pankaj and Saranda DFO Aviroop Sinha, with Dr Tenzing from Vantara also on-site. According to local sources, the incident likely occurred between 24 and 26 June. The elephant was last seen near Digha on June 27and was finally traced by drone on July 3. Forest officials confirmed the animal was severely injured, although the exact cause is still under investigation. However, wildlife experts have not ruled out an IED explosion as the cause, given the nature of the injury to the hind limb. With Maoists now deploying capsule IEDs with limited impact, it's possible the elephant was hurt by one of these devices, said a wildlife expert on condition of anonymity. Notably, Maoist activity is now largely confined to the Saranda jungles of Jharkhand, having been driven out of most other parts of the state. Estimates suggest 8590 Maoist insurgents are hiding in the region, which is reportedly littered with thousands of IEDs, posing a grave challenge for security personnel. Since the launch of a joint security operation in the Kolhan region in November 2022, following intelligence reports about the presence of senior Maoist leaders including Misir Besra and Patiram Majhi alias Anal Da, the area has witnessed intense conflict. The IED blasts triggered by Maoists have claimed the lives of six security personnel and around 22 civilians, leaving over 30 others critically injured.

RANCHI: For over two weeks, a collapsed bridge in Khunti has forced local children into a perilous daily routine, scaling a 25-foot bamboo ladder to reach their school. While the immediate danger of the ladder has now been addressed by authorities, the underlying problem of a missing bridge and lack of a safe alternative route still persists. The Pelol bridge, a vital link on the Simdega-Kolebira Road, crumbled on June 19 due to incessant rains. Its collapse severed crucial connectivity, bringing normal life to a grinding halt for thousands, and most acutely affecting the young students of Catherine School. With no immediate diversion or repair work initiated, the gap left by the broken culvert became an obstacle for vehicles, including school buses. This left children from surrounding villages like Sunagi, Rodo, Angrabari, Bichana Pandu, Saridkel, Japud, Jaltanda, and Gamhariyam with a stark choice: either abandon their education or brave the makeshift crossing. Though an alternative route is available, it is very long and risky as well. Heavy vehicles are somehow plying on that route, but it is not possible for the small vehicles, especially school vans, to take that route. Therefore, to attend their classes, children studying in Catherine School have to take the challenge of scaling the 25-foot ladder every day to reach their school. Following the collapse of the bridge, the school bus service has been completely stopped. Parents have to bring their children to the collapsed bridge in their vehicles, from where the children come down using a 25-foot high temporary staircase built by the villagers. They also have to take the same route to return home in the afternoon. According to locals, the staircase has become very slippery and dangerous due to continuous rain in the region. Small children are brought down the stairs by their parents sometimes on their back, sometimes by holding their hands and are sent to school by crossing the gap of the broken culvert. The same process is repeated after the school is over, said a local. This is not only painful, but there is a possibility of a major accident, he added. Arvind Kumar Ojha, who is currently in-charge of Sub-Divisional Officer, said that looking at the problems being faced by the people, the district administration is making continuous efforts and is engaged in repairing alternate routes. On receiving information that school children were climbing up and down the broken bridge using a ladder, the route has been immediately closed and the ladder on the bridge has been removed, said the SDO in charge. Instructions have been given to the Murhu and Torpa administration that nobody should be allowed to take that route, he added. Torpa MLA Sudeep Guriya said that talks have been held with the state government regarding the construction of the bridge. At present, work is going on for the alternative route and the process of making a diversion is being expedited; it is expected to be resolved soon, he said. Notably, the bridge broke into two pieces amid heavy rains on June 19. Since then, it has been almost fifteen days, but neither the construction of the bridge was started, nor any diversion route has been started. Locals, however, said that due to the apathy of the administration, the situation is getting worse day by day.

NEW DELHI: Amid raging political controversy over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihars electoral roll, the Election Commission on July 3 said it has decoded the entire exercise to a group of Opposition parties to clear doubts in their minds. The poll panel, led by Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, had met representatives of various political parties here on July 2 and heard their concerns, issues and queries and decoded for them the entire SIR process. In an official statement the ECI said, Representatives of the Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Samajwadi Party, DMK, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar), Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, Communist Party of India and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackrey) had met the poll panel. It said that the poll panel told the parties that the exercise is being held in a planned, structured and phased manner to facilitate the inclusion of all eligible citizens, as in the first phase (From June 25 to July 3), enumeration forms are being printed and distributed to approximately 7.90 crore electors in Bihar. Electoral registration officers are making available partially pre-filled forms, based on existing records, through the nearly 78,000 booth-level officers (BLOs) pressed into action, it added. The BLOs are delivering the enumeration forms door-to-door to all the electors, whose names are on the electoral roll as on June 24 and Booth level agents (BLAs) appointed by political parties can also submit up to 50 certified forms per day. In the second phase, the enumeration forms will be filled out and are to be submitted before July 25. To support this process, nearly four lakh volunteers are available to assist voters alongside the BLOs. Electors whose names exist in the electoral roll as on January 1, 2003 are only required to submit the enumeration forms along with an extract of the roll. They dont have to submit any other document, the EC reiterated in the statement, adding that those not listed in the 2003 roll will need to submit one of 11 documents for their date of birth/place of birth. The physical forms will be submitted to the respective electoral registration officers or assistant electoral registration officers and a facility for online submission of enumeration forms has been developed to ease the process, it noted. In the third phase, the draft electoral roll will be published on August 1 and the list will include all electors whose forms have been received by the deadline. Names for which no enumeration form has been submitted before July 25 will not appear in the draft roll. In the fourth phase, Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) and assistant EROs will scrutinise the forms against the eligibility criteria laid down in Article 326 of the Constitution, which requires electors to be Indian citizens, aged 18 or above, and ordinarily resident in the constituency and after that copies of the draft roll will be provided to recognised political parties free of cost and uploaded on the EC website. Electors who miss the initial deadline can still apply during the claims and objections period using Form 6, along with a declaration form. BLAs can continue to submit up to 10 forms per day even after the draft roll is published, it noted. In the fifth phase, from August 1 to September 1, any member of the public can file claims and objections. During this time, the electoral registration officers and assistant electoral registration officers will scrutinise applications and objections. The public can file claims for inclusion or raise objections to existing entries in the draft roll. No deletion will be made without due inquiry and providing the person concerned a fair hearing. The final electoral roll will be published on September 30, it said.

Elephant allegedly injured by Maoist IEDs in Jharkhands Saranda forest
RANCHI: The IEDs allegedly planted by Maoists in the Saranda jungles of Chaibasa are no longer a challenge only for security forces, they have now become a potential threat to wild animals as well. A six-year-old elephant has been found roaming in the Saranda jungles, suspected to have been injured by one of these explosive devices. The suspicion has grown stronger after the elephant was found with a wound on its left hind leg, which was badly swollen. Those who spotted the elephant said it was seen splashing water on its wound, indicating it was in deep pain. According to local sources, the incident allegedly took place between June 24 and 26. The injured elephant was last seen on 27 June near the Digha area of Saranda. Forest officials also confirmed that the elephant had been injured, although the cause of the injury is yet to be ascertained. It was reported on June 27 that an elephant has been found injured in the jungles, but after that, it disappeared into the dense forests of Saranda, following which it was being monitored closely. Today, we have located the elephant and the process to rescue it has been started, said Saranda Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Aviroop Sinha. The cause of the injury will be confirmed only after medical examination, once the elephant is recovered, he added. The DFO further informed that local villagers actively participated and fully cooperated in the rescue of the wild elephant. Meanwhile, expert medical help is being provided to the elephant. Help from Vantara will also be taken, if required, said the DFO. Wildlife experts, however, said that the possibility of an IED explosion could not be ruled out, as the elephant had been hit on its hind limb. Since the Maoists have also started using capsule IEDs, which have very limited impact, the possibility of the elephant being injured by one of those cannot be ruled out, said a wildlife expert, requesting anonymity. Notably, Maoists are now allegedly restricted only to the Saranda jungles in Jharkhand, having been eliminated from other pockets of the state. According to estimates, around 8590 Maoists are believed to be hiding in the Saranda jungles, where they have allegedly planted thousands of IEDs, posing a serious challenge to security forces. The state police launched a joint operation in the Kolhan jungles in November 2022 after receiving a tip-off that some senior Maoist leaders, including Misir Besra and Patiram Majhi alias Anal Da, were hiding in that forest stretch, which is said to be strategically important. Since November 2022, at least six security personnel have lost their lives while 20 others were critically injured, in addition to the deaths of nearly 22 civilians and critical injuries to over a dozen more in IED blasts allegedly triggered by Maoists in the jungles of Chaibasa.

NIPCCD renamed as Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development
NEW DELHI: The centre on Wednesday announced that the National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development (NIPCCD) has now been officially renamed as the Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development, reflecting its evolving role and greater focus on region-specific, mission-driven support for the development of women and children across India. Speaking about the renaming of the institute, which was established on February 28, 1966, Women and Child Development Minister Annpurna Devi said that the renaming of NIPCCD as the Savitribai Phule National Institute of Women and Child Development is a tribute to the legacy of one of Indias foremost social reformers. She said the renaming is a reaffirmation of our commitment to women and child-centric development. The ministry also announced a new Regional Centre in Ranchi, Jharkhand, which will be inaugurated on July 4. A new Regional Centre aims to strengthen outreach and regional capacity-building. This Centre will address the specialised training and research requirements of the Ministrys flagship programmes - Mission Shakti, Mission Vatsalya, and Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 - with a particular focus on the Eastern region covering Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, and West Bengal. Previously, training needs of these states were partially catered through Regional Centres located in Guwahati and Lucknow, posing logistical challenges for many functionaries due to long travel distances. The new Regional Centre will also offer the advanced diploma in child guidance and counselling and will facilitate better accessibility for frontline functionaries in these states. It is estimated that over seven lakh functionaries operate under the ministrys missions across the four states, spread across 115 districts. Highlighting the importance of setting up new regional centres, the WCD minister said that the inauguration of the new Regional Centre in Ranchi would mark a significant step towards decentralised, region-specific capacity building in the Eastern region. She said the Centre will not only empower the frontline functionaries with better access to training and support, but also strengthen the centres flagship missions at the grassroots level. The new Regional Centre will not only bring training services closer to the field functionaries but also enable the identification of local issues, customized interventions, and better resource utilization for womens empowerment and child welfare in the Eastern region. It will also support research, counselling, and extension activities related to child development, mental health, and adolescent well-being. This step is a testament to the Ministrys commitment to ensuring last-mile delivery of services, region-specific capacity building, and the creation of an inclusive, empowered, and healthier India, the ministry said in a statement. About NIPCCD, the ministry said while its headquarters is in New Delhi, it presently has regional centres in Bangalore, Guwahati, Lucknow, Indore and Mohali. It serves as the apex body for training, research, documentation, and capacity building in the field of Women and Child Development. The Institute plays a pivotal role in strengthening implementation mechanisms under various flagship schemes through its online and physical training programmes, the statement added.
Governor orders inquiry into irregularities in Jharkhand civil services examination
RANCHI: Taking a serious note of complaints about irregularities in 11th, 12th and 13th civil services examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC), Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar has ordered an inquiry. According to Raj Bhavan sources, Governors under secretary has sent a letter to JPSC Chairman asking for investigation and action as per the rules. During his recent meeting with the Governor, former CM Raghuvar Das demanding a high-level inquiry into irregularities in the examination. On behalf of candidates, several people submitted a memorandum to the Governor, raising concerns about transparency of the exam process. In the memorandum, it was alleged that the evaluation of answer sheets was done through digital medium, whereas the SOP prescribed by the Commission has a provision to show answer sheets to the candidates. This process was not possible in digital evaluation. The memorandum stated that a third-party agency was involved in the examination process, which violated its confidentiality. The agency was not selected through a tender process, it said, while also raising concerns about errors in exam results. Reopening of the application portal by the commission a week before the examination also raised doubts. Candidates also alleged that the evaluation was done by contractual and unqualified teachers. As per the rules, evaluation should be done by teachers with at least ten years of experience at university level or at least five years of experience of teaching postgraduate students. According to candidates, many of them received phone calls in August-September 2024, demanding money for increasing their marks. The 11th, 12th and 13th civil services exams were held simultaneously for 342 posts from January 27, 2024. Interviews were conducted from June 10, 2025, where 860 out of 864 candidates appeared.

IMD issues 'very heavy rainfall' alert across India for coming 6-7 days
NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said very heavy rainfall is expected in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan over some of the next six to seven days. It said the monsoon will remain active in many parts of northwest, central and east India during this period. Heavy rain is also likely in Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, Sikkim and Jharkhand. Some days may see heavy showers in Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha. The IMD said heavy to very heavy rain may occur at some places in Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat. Saurashtra and Kutch may also receive heavy rain in the next seven days. Northeast India is likely to get heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places during this period. Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Karnataka may receive heavy rain on some days of the week, it said. The weather department on Monday predicted above-normal rainfall in the country in July and asked authorities and people in central India, Uttarakhand and Haryana to stay alert due to the risk of flooding. It said rainfall is likely to be below normal in large parts of the northeast, many areas of eastern India and extreme southern peninsular India. IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said during an online press briefing that there is a high chance of heavy rainfall in central India and the adjoining southern peninsula. This includes east Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, adjoining areas of Vidarbha and Telangana and parts of Gujarat and Maharashtra. We should monitor the catchment areas of rivers such as the Godavari, Mahanadi and Krishna. Our models show a high probability of above-normal rainfall in the upper Mahanadi catchment, which includes Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. There are several other rivers in the region. We must closely watch rainfall activity and the water levels in reservoirs, he said. He added that good rainfall is also expected in Uttarakhand and Haryana. This region includes several cities and towns, including Delhi. Many south-flowing rivers originate in Uttarakhand. We must take precautions for all these river catchments, cities and towns, Mohapatra said.
