Jharkhand Police raid hotels, bars in Ranchi over alleged irregularities; 14 detained
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Oct 4 (IANS) Police conducted simultaneous raids at several hotels and bars in Jharkhand capital Ranchi following complaints of alleged immoral activities and rampant violation of rules by bar and hotel operators. During the late Saturday night action at a hotel near Kachahari Chowk under the Kotwali police station area, police detained eight men and six women. Police suspect that some of those detained may have links to an alleged sex racket. The hotel management, employees and the detained men and women are being questioned as part of the investigation. According to police officials, the operation was conducted on the directions of Senior Superintendent of Police Rakesh Ranjan. Separate police teams led by City SP Paras Rana and Rural SP Gaurav Goswami carried out simultaneous inspections at several prominent hotels and bars across the city. Police said the main objective of the operation was to verify complaints regarding alleged violations of rules by hotel and bar operators. The complaints included operating without valid licences, keeping bars open beyond the permitted operating hours, serving hookah and allegedly providing alcohol to minors. During the inspections, police teams checked licences, documents related to the operation of the establishments and papers concerning security arrangements. Police claimed that at some establishments, operations were found to be continuing beyond the prescribed hours. The teams also reportedly found instances where alcohol and hookah were being served. Police are questioning the 14 people detained during the raid to establish the circumstances under which they had arrived at the hotel and to determine whether any illegal activity was taking place there. The hotel manager and employees are being questioned to gather information about the activities being conducted at the premises. Officials said the questioning and verification process is aimed at determining whether there were any violations of law or regulations. Police officials said establishments where violations are found during inspection will face action as per the law. In cases where serious irregularities are detected, action may also be initiated against the licences of the establishments concerned. The police said the investigation is ongoing and further action will be taken on the basis of the findings.

Bengal: Floods disrupt train services on Sahibganj Loop
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 1 (IANS) Train services on the historic Sahibganj Loop, a key rail link connecting West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar, have been severely affected over the past several days after the Ganga eroded the embankment between Sakrigali and Maharajpur stations. The affected stretch forms part of the Sahibganj-Barharwa section of the loop. A large number of personnel are working round the clock at the site to reinforce the embankment with boulders and other materials. While all services on the Down line have been suspended, train movement continues on the Up line under speed restrictions. Eastern Railway (ER) has cancelled several trains and diverted many others. Some trains are also being short-terminated and short-originated. A senior ER official said the situation arose after the water level in the Ganga began rising. At one stage, the river was barely 15 meters from the tracks, and part of the embankment had been eroded. The official said restoration work began after the water receded to a safe distance and that workforce and materials were already in place. This section in Jharkhand forms part of the Sahibganj Loop. Barharwa is a major junction connecting routes towards Sahibganj, Bhagalpur, Rampurhat and Howrah. The Sahibganj Loop holds immense historical significance as part of the original Delhi-Howrah route. The 410-km stretch connects Khana Junction in West Bengal to Kiul Junction in Bihar via Sahibganj. Constructed in the 1860s, it was originally part of the main rail route between Howrah and Delhi. The Railways later built a shorter chord line that could handle higher traffic volumes. That route subsequently became the main line, while the older alignment came to be known as the Sahibganj Loop. The stretch is known for its scenic alignment along the Ganga. However, its proximity to the river has led to operational disruptions during this years floods. Nearly 18 trains, including the Howrah-Sahibganj Intercity Express, have been cancelled. Trains such as the Ballia-Sealdah Express and the Kathgodam-Howrah Bagh Express have been diverted via Munger, Bhagalpur, Banka, Deoghar and the Jasidih Bypass. The Delhi-Kamakhya Brahmaputra Mail and the 15734 Bhatinda-Balurghat Farakka Express will be diverted via Jamalpur, Munger and Katihar. The Gaya-Howrah Express will operate through Kiul, Jhajha and Asansol. The Bhagalpur-Ranchi Vananchal Express and the 13072 Jamalpur-Howrah Express will be diverted via Bhagalpur, Dumka and Rampurhat. If the weather remains favourable, restoration work will be completed soon, and services will return to normal after the necessary clearances, an official said.

School picnic turns tragic as 8 students drown in Maha's Raigad
Digital Desk | Raigad, Oct 1 (IANS) In a tragic incident, eight students who were out on a picnic, drowned after venturing into the sea at Diveagar beach in Maharashtra's Raigad district on Thursday, officials said. According to officials, a group of 48 people were on a visit to Dighi-Sagari beach in Diveagar for an excursion on Thursday evening. The group comprised 25 boys, 17 girls, and 6 teachers from 'Winners Academy for 11th and 12th' in Pune's Alandi area. During the visit, eight students ventured into the sea and were swept away after they apparently misjudged the depth of the water and current. Reacting instantly, Bhau Salunkhe, owner of 'Bhau Maruti Salunkhe Mahakali Water Sports' at Diveagar, along with his team, launched an immediate rescue operation. Risking their own lives, the water sports team managed to retrieve the bodies of all eight victims from the sea, NDTV reported. The media report added that upon receiving information about the tragedy, Assistant Police Inspector Santosh Awati from the Dighi Sagari Borli Panchatan Police Station rushed to the spot with a team. With the assistance of local villagers, the police took custody of the bodies and sent them to the Primary Health Centre in Borli Panchatan for post-mortem examinations. The deceased students have been identified as Tanmay Dattatray Vahile, Sumit Bharat Ahire, Pranav Ramdas Bansode, Kaivalya Satish Vasankar, Rajveer Yuvraj Vahile, Yash Kiran Wankhede, Soham Tukaram Bhandwalkar, and Kaustubh Sandeep Daund. Officials have confirmed that all the deceased students were 16 years of age and residents of Alandi in Pune. Investigators said that further proceedings in the case are underway. The incident took place days after a similar tragedy in Jharkhand claimed the lives of three young children. The children drowned to death in a pond at Chegayadih village under Jamtara Sadar police station limits in Jharkhand, officials said. They had gone to play together in the afternoon and later wandered towards a village pond located in the Chirkutola area. According to local residents, the children drowned in the pond while playing. Villagers rushed to the spot after learning about the incident and pulled them out of the water. However, all three had died by then.

Dry weather to persist in Delhi with cooler nights ahead; AQI remains moderate
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 1 (IANS) The weather in the national capital has turned quite dry, with bright sunshine keeping daytime temperatures warm. However, a slight drop in night temperatures is likely. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted clear skies throughout the coming week, with no possibility of rain in Delhi. Bright sunshine was observed across most parts of Delhi from Wednesday morning. However, with northwesterly winds prevailing over the region, the weather has become increasingly dry. The maximum temperature at Delhi's standard observatory at Safdarjung was recorded at 34.2 degrees Celsius, which was 0.5 degrees below normal. The minimum temperature was recorded at 22.4 degrees Celsius. The IMD has said that the southwest monsoon season had ended with a 13 per cent rainfall deficit. However, monsoon rains continue to withdraw from different parts of the country. As the monsoon retreats, parts of southern and northeastern India are expected to receive rainfall on Thursday, according to the IMD. Heavy rainfall is very likely at isolated places over Kerala, South Interior Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal. In IMD's terminology, 'isolated' refers to rainfall occurring over a small proportion of locations, generally up to 25 per cent of weather stations in a region. Meanwhile, Kerala, coastal Karnataka and the southern parts of Karnataka are expected to receive rainfall at several places on Thursday. Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Lakshadweep are likely to receive rain at a few places. Karnataka has already experienced a wet spell during the 24 hours ending at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Kibbanahalli in Tumakuru district recorded 10 cm of rainfall, the highest recorded by the IMD during the period. Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds of 40-50 kmph are very likely at isolated places over Kerala and Mahe, Rayalaseema, and Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal. Winds of 30-40 kmph are expected over Andhra Pradesh, Interior Karnataka and Odisha, while strong surface winds may also prevail over parts of Andhra Pradesh. In the Northeast, thunderstorms and lightning are likely over Assam and Meghalaya, as well as Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. Similar conditions are also expected over East Madhya Pradesh. Scattered rainfall is likely over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. The southwest monsoon normally begins withdrawing from northwest India in mid-September and completely retreats from the country by mid-October. This year, the withdrawal line currently passes through Gurdaspur (Punjab), Chandigarh, Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), Aligarh (UP), Dholpur, Udaipur and Deesa (Rajasthan) before extending to Naliya in Gujarat. The IMD said conditions are likely to become favourable over the next two to three days for the withdrawal of the monsoon from the remaining parts of Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Similar conditions are expected to develop over most parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, as well as the entirety of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Some parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra may also witness further withdrawal. Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remained in the moderate category, with several monitoring stations recording elevated pollution levels. The AQI readings included Mandir Marg (150), Aya Nagar (135), CRRI Mathura Road (198), Pusa (22), Sirifort (171), IGI Airport T3 (155), Commonwealth Sports Complex (179), IIT Delhi (249), Anand Vihar (98), Najafgarh (144), Jahangirpuri (207), Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (173), Sonia Vihar (151), Cantonment Area (106) and Narela (189).
