Jharkhand police rescue LJP MLA's son in Ranchi; probe kidnapping claim (Lead)
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 7 (IANS) Police in Jharkhand's Ranchi on Monday safely recovered Saurabh, the son of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MLA, Janardan Paswan, about one-and-a-half hours after receiving information that he had allegedly been abducted near a university campus, officials said. Preliminary questioning has indicated that he had gone with his friends voluntarily, police said. Saurabh, a law student at Amity University in Ranchi, was traced and recovered from the Assembly police station area after a swift search operation launched by multiple police teams. He is currently being questioned by investigators. Earlier in the day, MLA Janardan Paswan informed police that his son had been abducted by unidentified persons near the main gate of Amity University. According to the legislator, a group of men arriving in three to four Scorpio SUVs assaulted his son and forcibly took him away. He had also claimed that Saurabh's mobile phone was switched off and that his Thar vehicle was found parked outside the university gate. Following the complaint, police, acting on the directions of the Senior Superintendent of Police, formed multiple teams and launched an intensive search operation. Investigators examined CCTV footage from the university campus and nearby areas while also checking vehicles on key routes. During the operation, police tracked Saurabh's mobile phone location and located him safely within about 90 minutes in the Assembly police station jurisdiction. Officials are now questioning Saurabh and some of his friends to establish the sequence of events. Investigators are trying to determine when and under what circumstances he left the university campus and with whom he remained thereafter.

Jharkhand's Dhanbad coal belt on edge as subsidence incidents cross 45 in 8 months
Dhanbad, Sep 7 (IANS) Imagine a family asleep inside their home when a loud explosion erupts from beneath the ground. Within moments, cracks appear in the walls, the floor shifts, and part of the house disappears into a deep cavity. Outside, toxic gases rise from the ground, flames emerge through fissures, and smoke billows from the earth. For residents of Dhanbad's coal belt, such scenes are no longer rare. Life in the region is increasingly being overshadowed by fear as frequent land subsidence, underground fires, and the formation of sinkholes continue to threaten lives and property. A major reason behind the crisis is the century-old underground coal fire raging beneath large parts of the coalfield. Since January this year, more than 45 incidents of land subsidence and sinkhole formation have been reported across the coal belt. The frequency of such incidents has increased during August and September with the onset of monsoon rains. Developments over the past 10 days illustrate the gravity of the situation. On August 31, part of a house in Lilori Pathra collapsed into a sinkhole after the ground caved in. On September 1, authorities began filling a deep cavity in Godhar No 6, while incidents of sinkhole formation and gas leakage were reported from Kailudih in the Katras area. On September 3, the ground cracked open in Barari No 6 following a powerful explosion, releasing flames and toxic smoke through the fissures. A day later, two large sinkholes appeared in Kurmi Dih, triggering panic among residents amid reports of gas leakage. Despite repeated assurances and mitigation efforts by the Centre, the state government, coal companies and regulatory agencies, incidents linked to underground fires, subsidence, and sinkhole formation continue to escalate. Amid growing concerns, Prime Minister's adviser Tarun Kapoor visited the Dhanbad coalfield on August 31 and September 1. During his two-day tour, he reviewed BCCL's mining operations, assessed the status of underground fires in Jharia and examined rehabilitation efforts. Kapoor also interacted with resettled families and directed officials to prioritise safe and dignified rehabilitation of affected residents. Residents of Jharia, Katras, Lodna, Kenduadih, and Baghmara continue to live with the fear of not knowing where the ground might crack next. A series of recent incidents has posed a major safety challenge for both the administration and mining authorities. The most alarming incident this year occurred on August 6 in Chhatabad, Katras, where land subsidence affected more than 20 houses and left several people injured. Deep cracks appeared in numerous homes. Local residents blamed intensive blasting activities in the mining area for the disaster. Following the incident, authorities tightened safety measures. On August 14, the Dhanbad Deputy Commissioner ordered suspension of blasting and mining activities in the affected zone until scientific studies and safety assessments were completed. Subsequently, the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) withdrew permission for controlled deep-hole blasting at New Akashkinari Colliery. However, Chhatabad is not an isolated case. Similar incidents involving land subsidence, sinkholes and gas leaks have continued to emerge from Lodna, Barari, Kenduadih, and other parts of Katras. The recurring events have intensified concerns over whether the existing safety and rehabilitation framework is adequate to address the growing threat. Experts say the problem is not merely a result of monsoon rains or isolated incidents. Decades of underground mining, abandoned mine workings, persistent underground fires and extensive voids beneath the surface have rendered the region highly vulnerable. During the monsoon, rainwater seeps into these weakened zones, further eroding the stability of the overlying soil. In many areas, vibrations generated by heavy blasting are believed to have aggravated the risk. While ground collapses continue to endanger lives, questions are also being raised about the pace of the long-running rehabilitation programme. Ensuring the safety of residents and relocating vulnerable families in time remains the biggest challenge. For families whose homes have already developed cracks, every spell of rain and every loud explosion signals a potential disaster. According to BCCL Director, Technical and Operations, Sanjay Kumar Singh, providing immediate safe housing to families affected by subsidence and gas leakage in areas such as Kenduadih and Lodna remains a priority. He said that under the revised Jharia Master Plan, rehabilitation and livelihood arrangements for displaced residents are being accelerated in Belgaria and Karmatand townships in coordination with the JRDA, with an allocation of Rs 5,940 crore. For Dhanbad's coal belt, the question is no longer when the next sinkhole will appear. The real concern is who will be caught in its path when the ground gives way again.

Duleep Trophy: Ishan Bhaiya Was Giving Me A Lot Of Advice While Batting, Says Shikhar Mohan
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Young Jharkhand batter Shikhar Mohan credited senior partner and captain Ishan Kishan's constant guidance behind him making a fluent 85 on Duleep Trophy debut, as he played a vital role in putting East Zone in command on opening day of the 2026/27 Duleep Trophy final against a star-studded South Zone. Drafted into the playing eleven as a replacement for Jharkhand teammate Virat Singh, Mohan and Kishan added 94 runs for the third wicket to rebuild the innings. Kishan remained unbeaten on 111 at the end of day ones play, with Kumar Kushagra giving him company on 63 not out, as East Zones score read 385/4 in 79 overs. Ishan bhaiya was giving me a lot of advice while batting. He was telling me what shot is on and what is not. Thanks to that, we had a great partnership, Mohan told reporters at the end of days play. Mohan earned his place in the East Zone side following an outstanding debut Ranji Trophy season, in which he scored 613 runs at an average of 55.72. Though a specialist opener, he adapted seamlessly to the number three position. My journey has been very good so far. My first season in Ranji Trophy went very well, so coming into this match, I just wanted to carry that forward. I was looking to maintain that form from the Ranji Trophy. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added. South Zone pacers attempted to test Mohan with a short-ball tactic in the post-lunch session, but the youngster displayed remarkable restraint before inside-edging off a bouncer from Chama Milind. I didnt face any problem. The openers are Abhimanyu bhai and Vaibhav bhai, so obviously there is no space as an opener. My mindset was that wherever I get a chance, I should do well for the team, he added.

'Heartbreaking news': J'Khand CM Soren mourns passing away of Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu
Ranchi, Sep 6 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday mourned the death of state minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, describing him as an elder brother whose departure had left a void in his life that could not be expressed in words. In a post on X, Soren said he received the heartbreaking news of Sudivya Kumar Sonus passing late at night and described the news as extremely difficult to accept. Sonu Bhaiya was not just a senior colleague or political associate to me. He was like an elder brother -- affectionate, guiding, and steadfastly standing by my side in every difficult time, Soren wrote, adding that the moments spent with him and the lessons learned from him would always remain with him. Recalling Sonus association with the Jharkhand movement, the Chief Minister said he had stood with full devotion and strength alongside the late Baba Dishom Guruji. He further stated that as a dedicated soldier of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Sonu devoted his life to the struggle for Jharkhands identity, rights and pride. His dedication to Jharkhandiyat and his indomitable spirit will always be remembered, Soren wrote. He added, Sonu Bhaiya, your passing is a personal loss for me. Your absence will always be felt. I will carry your affection, your struggles, and your commitment to Jharkhand with me for life. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey described the ministers death as deeply sorrowful and deeply painful, saying his untimely departure had created a void in Jharkhand politics that would be difficult to fill. He termed it an immense loss for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and prayed for peace for his soul. Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi also expressed shock over the sudden death. Marandi said he initially found the news difficult to believe after learning about it through media reports, before confirming it through his contacts in Giridih. Even though Sudivya Sonu belonged to a different political party, he was from our town, and we had known each other since the beginning, Marandi said, describing him as quite popular and calling his sudden death a shock to his family, society and everyone who knew him. Congress leader Rajesh Thakur described the death as very tragic and said Sudivya Kumar was a close associate. He recalled speaking with him just two or three days ago when the minister was in Bengaluru on an exposure visit related to tourism. Meanwhile, Dr Shahzad Sheikh said the minister was brought to the hospital at around 2:15 am after experiencing chest pain for about two hours. The doctor said he had aspirated after vomiting, requiring immediate intubation to secure his airway. An ECG showed signs of a heart attack, while his blood pressure was unrecordable, the doctor said. Inotropes and vasopressors were started, but around 10 to 15 minutes later, the patient collapsed, and CPR was initiated. Sudivya Kumar Sonu, who held several key portfolios in the Jharkhand government, passed away despite medical efforts. His death has triggered widespread mourning across Giridih and Jharkhand, with political leaders, party workers, officials and members of the public expressing grief over his sudden demise.
