Decades Later, Bhopal Toxic Waste Cleared
The disposal of the toxic remains of Bhopals defunct Union Carbide factory was done following a directive by the Jabalpur high court in Madhya Pradesh on February 28 this year
BHOPAL: The 337 metric tonnes of hazardous waste, which was safely shifted out from the 1984 Bhopal Gas Tragedy-hit, now defunct Union Carbide Plant, has been completely incinerated at the private Treatment-Storage-Disposal facility (TSDF) in Pithampur industrial town of Dhar district. The waste was shifted on the intervening night of January 1-2, 2025. According to official sources in Dhar district, the process of burning the waste, which began on May 5, in pursuance of a December 2024 order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, took 55 days to complete the incineration of 337 metric tonnes of waste. The incineration was completed on June 30. Out of the 358 tonnes waste transported out of Bhopal in safe containers on January 1-2 (40 years after the worst industrial disaster claimed more than 5400 lives due to poisonous gas leak at the Union Carbide plant), just around 21 tonnes (mostly mud) is being burnt and the process too will get completed soon. Around 814 tonnes of ash and residual matter have been gathered out of the incineration process so far. Official sources in Dhar district added that construction of landfills will be completed within two months, till then the residue will be packed in leak-proof bags and kept safely at the TSDF in Pithampur.
BHOPAL: Massive protests by tribals accompanied by pressure by union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has compelled the Dr Mohan Yadav-led Madhya Pradesh government to put on hold the process of creating Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Wildlife Sanctuary in Sehore district of the central Indian state. In pursuance with the directions from the government, the proposal to create the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Wildlife Sanctuary in parts of the Sehore Forest Division is put on hold. Entire process on the issue is put on hold till further orders, principal chief conservator of forests (PCCF-Wildlife) Subhranjan Sen wrote to the DFO-Sehore on Monday. Importantly, the proposal to create the sanctuary in the Sehore Forest Division (which comes under the home district and parliamentary constituency of the current union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan) was first mooted during the Congress government in the state, when the current Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar was the states forest minister. Around six years later, in May 2025, the present BJP regime headed by Dr Mohan Yadav had set the ball rolling again on the issue, seeking a revised proposal from DFO-Sehore to create the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Wildlife Sanctuary. Just a month later, 50 houses of the tribal community were reportedly demolished by the forest department for removing encroachments from the Khivni Wildlife Sanctuary in the adjoining Dewas district on June 23. Four days later, massive protest by tribals was reported in Sehore district, where the local MP and union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was attending a development meeting at the district collectorate. The tribal protestors, including men and women from Sehore and Dewas districts were protesting the June 23 demolition of houses and the proposed Sardar Vallabhbhai Wildlife Sanctuary, which they alleged would affect 2 lakh people in Sehore and Dewas districts. Striking a chord with the protestors, Chouhan not just took the memorandum of demands from the protestors, but also targeted the forest department saying, Im reiterating and cautioning the forest department and forest development corporation staff that dont commit this mistake again. Whatever is being done by them is to tarnish the image of the government. A day later on Sunday, the union minister and ex-MP CM Chouhan accompanied by the tribals met with the present CM Dr Mohan Yadav in Bhopal and raised the issue. With the opposition Congress also latching on to the tribal anger, the MP CM sent states tribal affairs minister Vijay Shah, who is facing criminal case for his controversial sister of terrorists remark against Colonel Sofia Qureshi, to Dewas district on Sunday, to meet with the affected tribals. A few hours later, the CM Dr Mohan Yadav said, I met people from the tribal community (accompanied by the union agriculture minister) whove been affected by the action by the forest department for the Khivni Sanctuary. Have heard their complaints and ordered investigations. Ive also instructed officials to take strict action against the culprits and provide the victims the benefits of government facilities. The forest department has also been instructed to avoid any such action during the rainy season. Later, on Sunday evening, the present DFO-Sehore, Magan Singh Dabar (who himself is a tribal) was transferred and Archana Patel appointed the new DFO-Sehore.

BBA student suffers 50% burns in acid attack by female college mate in Jabalpur; accused held
BHOPAL: A Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) girl student has sustained around 50% burn injuries in an acid attack allegedly by her female college mate-childhood friend in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh. The incident happened in Awadhpuri Colony under Gwarighat police station area at around 8 pm on Sunday, when the accused girl Ishita Sahu (22) reached outside the house of Shraddha Das (23) and called her outside. Both the girls who are BBA students at the same college and friends since the last many years, have not been in talking terms for a couple of months, over some personal issue. When Shraddha did not come out, Ishita said she had a surprise in store for her, ultimately forcing her to come outside. Just when Shraddha came out of the house, Ishita allegedly threw a jar full of acid on her, causing severe burn injuries. Shraddha was subsequently admitted at the Mohanlal Hargovind Das Trust Hospital in Jabalpur with multiple burn injuries on the face, hands and legs. She has suffered around 50% burns and her condition is stated stable, a Jabalpur police officer said. Acting in the matter, the police have taken the accused, Ishita Sahu, in custody. Primary investigations have revealed that Ishita was accompanied by a man to a chemical shop before the alleged acid attack. She had introduced the man as her colleges teacher to the shop owner and sought acid for colleges use, after which she managed to get the acid bottle. The accused girl has been taken into custody and booked under BNS Section 124(2) which deals with voluntarily causing grievous hurt with acid, etc. Further investigations are underway, Jabalpur district police superintendent Sampat Upadhyaya said on Monday. Ongoing probe has revealed that both the girls were not in talking terms for a couple of months which strained their relation. One of the girls had blamed the other for something that had put her in a spot before her family.

Himachal and Punjab surpass national life expectancy average, Haryana lags behind: Report
CHANDIGARH: Life expectancy in Himachal Pradesh and Punjab stands at 73.6 years and 70.8 years respectively both higher than the national average of 69.9 years reflecting modest improvement over the past five decades. In contrast, Haryana records a lower life expectancy at 68.6 years. Notably, female life expectancy at birth is highest in Himachal Pradesh, according to the latest Sample Registration System (SRS) data for 201822 released by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India. Kerala continues to top the national list with the highest life expectancy at 74.8 years, while Chhattisgarh remains at the bottom with 64.4 years. Other high-performing states and Union Territories include Delhi (74.6 years), Jammu and Kashmir (74.1 years), and Himachal Pradesh. Punjab has outperformed several larger states such as Uttar Pradesh (67.2 years) and Madhya Pradesh (67.4 years), and is at par with Uttarakhand (70.8 years). Tamil Nadu (73.0 years), Maharashtra (72.5 years), and West Bengal (72.1 years) are among those with higher figures than Punjab. The report notes that women in Punjab have an average life expectancy of 73.1 years, while for men it stands at 68.9 years. This results in a female-to-male life expectancy ratio of 1.06, a significant shift from 197075 when men outlived women. Urban areas continue to show a clear advantage, with a life expectancy of 73.3 years (75.1 for females and 71.9 for males), compared to 69.2 years in rural areas (71.8 for females and 66.9 for males). This urban-rural gap, however, has narrowed considerably since the 197075 period. Nationally, life expectancy at birth for males is 68.2 years and 71.9 years for females. Jammu and Kashmir records the highest male life expectancy at 72.8 years, while Himachal Pradesh and Kerala share the highest female life expectancy at 78.0 years. Chhattisgarh ranks lowest for both sexes, with 62.3 years for males and 66.6 years for females. At age one, the average life expectancy is 69.3 years for males and 73.3 years for females. At age 60, life expectancy is 17.1 years for males and 19.3 years for females. The report also finds that female life expectancy has improved more rapidly than male life expectancy across most states. The greatest annual increase for men was recorded in Odisha, and the lowest in Haryana. For women, Uttar Pradesh showed the most significant annual gain, while Kerala saw the smallest. Professor Kumool Abbi, Director of the Population Research Centre at Panjab University, attributed higher female life expectancy in Punjab to several factors, including cultural emphasis on nutrition, low multidimensional poverty, infrastructure gains from the Green Revolution, reduced maternal mortality, access to healthcare and education, and genetic factors. To further reduce the gender and urban-rural gaps, there is a need to move away from dependence on agriculture, raise awareness of non-communicable diseases, strengthen public healthcare, and ensure equitable access to services, she added.

SC orders release of law student from preventive detention under NSA
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court recently directed the immediate release of a 24-year-old law student hailing from Madhya Pradesh who had been under preventive detention for nearly a year under the National Security Act, 1980 (NSA), after noting that detention of the appellant, was wholly untenable. The top court ordered that the petitioner (appellant) Annu alias Aniket, be released immediately from Central Jail, Bhopal, if he was not required in any other criminal case. A two-judge vacation bench of the top court, led by Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice Vinod Chandran observed that the grounds mentioned in the order, which include disruption of law and order did not satisfy the requirements of Section 3(2) of the NSA. We are of the view that the reasons for which he has been taken into preventive detention does not satisfy the requirement of Sub Section(2) of Section 3 of the NSA, 1980. Preventive detention of the appellant, therefore, becomes wholly untenable, the court said. Section 3(2) empowers the Union and state governments to order preventive detention of a person. The petitioner, had been booked following an altercation on June 14, 2024, at a university campus in Betul, after he allegedly clashed with a professor. Following this, an FIR was filed for attempt to murder and other offences against Annu, forcing him to surrender on June 16 and was placed in judicial custody. While in jail, the NSA detention order was issued against him. This order was later confirmed and extended every three months. The Court noted that the detention order had been extended four times, with the last extension valid till July 12, 2025. After hearing Annus appeal, the apex court said, At the most, these are all issues of law and order. Public order is something bigger.

Three dead in Indore traffic jam due to poor planning, bridge work cause 32- hour gridlock
BHOPAL: A nearly eight-kilometre-long traffic jam, which lasted up to 32 hours due to ongoing six-lane bridge construction, unfinished service roads, and the absence of a proper traffic diversion plan, has reportedly led to the deaths of three individuals on the outskirts of Indore, Madhya Pradeshs most developed city, on Thursday and Friday. The victims included 65-year-old farmer Kamal Panchal, 55-year-old cancer patient Balram Patel, and 32-year-old security guard Sandeep Patel, all of whom succumbed to health complications while stuck in the prolonged traffic snarl. Recounting the ordeal, Vijay Panchal, son of the deceased farmer Kamal Panchal from Bijalpur (Indore), said, I was driving with my father, mother and wife to attend the Trayodashah ceremony (13th-day rituals) of my deceased aunt in Dewas district when we got trapped in the jam for over two hours. The stretch between Mangliya and Arjun Baroda on the Indore-Dewas Bypass normally takes 1520 minutes to cover. Amid the jam, my father suddenly began feeling suffocated and complained of chest pain. It took us nearly half an hour to get out of the jam with the help of locals, as there were no officials present to manage the situation. By the time we reached the hospital in Dewas, doctors declared him dead. Later, we learnt two more people had died in the same jam. How many lives will it take for the administration to wake up? Among the other victims was Balram Patel, a 55-year-old cancer patient from Shujalpur in Shajapur district, who was en route to Indores Choithram Hospital. He reportedly died in the traffic after both oxygen cylinders he was dependent on were exhausted due to the delay. Sandeep Patel, a 32-year-old security guard, also died after experiencing chest pain while stuck in the same jam. His family rushed him to a hospital via Mangliya in Indore, but he was declared dead upon arrival. The massive jam was triggered by bridge construction work, which forced vehicles onto broken, waterlogged, and unfinished service roads, worsened by rainfall. The absence of an adequate route diversion plan severely escalated the situation. Over the 3032 hour period from Thursday afternoon to Friday night, the condition of the roads deteriorated rapidly. Heavy vehicles, diverted onto narrow lanes meant for smaller traffic, caused further damage, with deep potholes forming due to the downpour. No alternate routes were readied through nearby villages, compounding the traffic crisis. Following public outrage and media attention, Indore District Collector Ashish Singh held an emergency meeting on Friday with officials from the NHAI, traffic police, Public Works Department (PWD), and Indore Municipal Corporation. Key measures decided at the meeting included immediate repairs of damaged service lanes using paver blocks, formation of inter-departmental Quick Response Teams (QRTs) for traffic management, diversion of heavy vehicles outside Indore via alternate routes, and round-the-clock monitoring of traffic and drainage to avoid waterlogging. Meanwhile, angered by the deaths, opposition Congress leaders including Dewas district president Manoj Rajani and state spokesperson A. Chaurasia, have demanded Rs 1 crore compensation for each bereaved family. They have also called for a case of culpable homicide to be registered against officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the contractor responsible for the bridge construction.

Youth murders girlfriend by slitting her throat at Narasinghpur district hospital in Madhya Pradesh
BHOPAL: A 21-year-old Abhishek Koshthi has been arrested in connection with the gruesome murder of an 18-year-old girl in full public glare inside the Narsinghpur District Hospital premises in Madhya Pradesh on Friday. During interrogation by the police, Abhishek revealed that he knew the teenage girl for the last two years. Lately, he suspected that she was getting close to another youth, owing to which he chose to murder her, police sources told TNIE on Saturday. The victim was pursuing nursing training at the hospital. She was the only daughter to her parents who are vegetable vendors. On Friday, just a few hours after the ghastly killing, the Narsinghpur district police superintendent Mrigakhi Deka had said: The incident happened at around 3 pm, while the girl was standing in the hospital premises. The youth (who is possibly her lover) came there and attacked the girl, slitting her throat with a knife that led to her instant death. The accused then attempted to take his life failing which he fled the spot. There are several eye-witnesses to the crime, including doctors and nurses. The incident has also been captured in the CCTV cameras at the hospital. Hospitals male nursing officer Nalin who was present at the spot of the brutal crime, recounted. When I tried to intervene, the attacker threatened to kill me. He subsequently slit the girls throat with a black knife. Subsequently, he escaped from the hospital premises, which had private security personnel on duty. The shocking crime has also exposed the state of security at government hospitals in the state. Private security is entrusted with the task of providing security at the hospital and the place where the crime happened was a critical part of the hospitals Emergency Unit. Inadequate security at the hospital is definitely a contributor to the crime, a senior Narsinghpur district police officer said, while adding there was also a police chowki located in the hospital premises to take care of medico- legal cases. Well definitely write about the security aspect to the district administration in the entire matter and request for handling the issue on priority basis, the officer added. The youth has been remanded in custody. The murder follows the incident of a young girl delivering a stillborn baby in the hospital toilet 20 days ago. Further, the body of a newborn baby was mauled by a stray dog at a government hospital in Mhow sub division in Indore district. Prior to that, on May 10, the body of a youth (who died in a road accident) kept in a hall instead of the mortuary, for autopsy, was reportedly mutilated by stray dogs at the Narmadapuram district hospital in the wee hours.

Patwari and friend found dead in MP, police suspect lightning, family alleges murder
BHOPAL: A patwari revenue department official and his close friend were found dead under mysterious circumstances in an under-construction house in Surajpura village of Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh on Friday early morning. Pran Singh Adivasi (50) , a patwari and his close friend Channu Lal Yadav (45) were found dead under mysterious circumstances near an under-construction house in their Surajpura village at around 7 am. While Pran Singhs son Kamlesh Adivasi alleged that both his father and fathers friend were murdered, the Chhatarpur police said prima facie it seems a case of death due to lightning. According to the additional SP (ASP-Chattarpur) Vidita Dagar, prima facie the deaths seemed to have been caused by lightning, but detailed forensic analysis of the spot of the incident, will further help in the probe. If during the course of the probe or the autopsy report, there is any evidence suggesting any crime having happened, then action will be taken accordingly. Pran Singhs son Kamesh Adivasi differed with the police, My father left the house at around 7 pm on Thursday, telling us that he was going to the well. But when we rang him at around 9 pm, his phone sounded switched off. In the morning when we reached the agricultural fields, we found him and his friend lying dead near the under-construction house. Both of them have been murdered. He was being harassed officially, as he was transferred thrice within a year. He had recently joined Bakswaha as Patwari. Meanwhile, the leader of opposition in the state Umang Singhar shared a video of the deceased patwaris wife Parvati Adivasi (who is the Chhatarpur district BJP vice president) in which she was heard alleging BJP MLA from Rajnagar seat Arvind Pateriyas role in her husbands transfer. The death of the patwari from the scheduled caste category and his friend is not just a mishap, but indicates a deep conspiracy. Will the CM order an impartial probe in the matter? The Rajnagar BJP MLA Arvind Pateriya, however, denied all allegations.

Adulterated diesel stalls 19 vehicles in MP CM Mohan Yadavs convoy; petrol pump sealed in Ratlam
BHOPAL: A petrol pump in Madhya Pradeshs Ratlam district has been sealed after adulterated diesel from the outlet allegedly caused the breakdown of 19 vehicles in Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadavs convoy on Thursday night. The incident happened hours before the CM was to inaugurate the innovative Regional Industry, Skill and Employment (RISE) Conclave in the same western MP district on Friday afternoon. Drivers of the SUVs (brought from Indore) were forced to push the vehicles off the road, after the vehicles began jerking and stalling one after another. While the local administration scrambled to ensure that a replacement fleet was arranged at the earliest, the officials also assessed the possibility of adulterated diesel filled from a local petrol pump having caused the problem. As per sources more than 250 litres of diesel were filled in the vehicles from a local petrol pump. Though the petrol pump staff denied the possibility of supplying adulterated diesel, the officials hunch got strong after a local resident showed them a bottle filled from the same pump which had clearly visible layers of diesel as well as water. The food and civil supplies department staff immediately collected samples and analysed them, confirming the presence of water in the diesel supplied by the concerned pump. Entire matter is being probed, though the exact quantity of water cannot be specified immediately. The stock at the pump is being checked and findings will be summed up in the detailed report to the Ratlam district collector, a senior official of the food and civil supplies department Anand Gole said. With more than 16 hours left for the CMs actual visit, a replacement fleet was arranged from Indore within a few hours. A detailed probe is still underway into the issue, including the possibility of rainwater having seeped into the underground fuel tank at the petrol pump. For the time being, the petrol pump has been sealed, a senior official in Ratlam confirmed to TNIE . With the quirky incident taking place hours before the CMs visit, while the VIP visit remained unaffected, it rendered the opposition Congress ammo to target the government.

RSS demands removal of terms 'socialism', 'secularism' from Constitution
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Dattatreya Hosabale on Thursday demanded the removal of the terms 'socialism' and 'secularism' from the Preamble of the Constitution, alleging that they were inserted forcibly during the Emergency period. Demanding an apology from Congress for the imposition of Emergency 50 years ago, the RSS leader claimed terms like 'socialism' and 'secularism', which are among the defining principles of democracy in India, were forcibly inserted into the constitution during the period. During that period, terms like 'socialism' and 'secularism' were forcibly inserted into the Preamble of the Constitution. Today, we must reflect on whether these words should remain there. Those who did such things are today moving around with the Constitution. They have still not apologised... Hosabale said in a veiled attack on Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. Your ancestors did it... You must apologise to the country, he stressed. Hosabale was speaking at a function on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, organised at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in Delhi under the joint auspices of the Ministry of Cultures Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), Ambedkar International Centre, and the multilingual dialogue organisation Hindusthan Samachar. Hosabale, along with Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari were the chief guests. Present on the occasion were the Chairman of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), Ram Bahadur Rai and National Swabhiman Movement Founder-President KN Govindacharya. Speaking on the occasion, Gadkari said that the RSS and its ideology played a significant role in opposing the Emergency. It was through the sacrifice of RSS-inspired workers that the defence of democracy became possible, he said. He also accused Indira Gandhi of imposing the Emergency to cling to power and of altering the core spirit of the Constitution. Ram Bahadur Rai said the Emergency should not be viewed merely as a political event, but its truth, reality, and conclusion must be deeply understood. He alleged that during the Emergency, a 'frightened woman' (Indira Gandhi) was trying to instil fear across the nation. The reality was that a parallel, controlled, and repressive regime was established alongside the democratic system. Ultimately, the people rejected this dictatorial setup and restored democracy, he said. Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla also attended the event. In his address, he described the Emergency as a dark chapter in Indian democracy. He said that June 25 marked a political crime in the country, which deeply hurt democratic values. An exhibition and a short film based on the Emergency were showcased during the event, with the exhibition being inaugurated by Hosabale.
JAIPUR: Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for observing Samvidhan Hatya Diwas across the country to mark the anniversary of the Emergency, alleging that the saffron party had illegally toppled governments in Congress-ruled states. Speaking to the media in Jodhpur, Gehlot alleged that senior BJP leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah had conspired to topple his government and had engaged in horse-trading by distributing huge sums of money to MLAs. Amit Shah, Dharmendra Pradhan and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in the Narendra Modi government conspired to topple the Rajasthan government, but failed. Ours was the only government in the country that they could not overthrow, Gehlot said. He further stated, They changed governments in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra, but could not do so in Rajasthan. These people tried to break our party and distributed money to MLAs. I have proof of this. The situation they created is this in line with the Constitution? Today, these people are celebrating Constitution Day. Referring to the scale of the alleged horse-trading, the former Chief Minister said, You cant imagine how much money was distributed to buy MLAs in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Some claim Rs 25 crore, others Rs 35 crore, and some Rs 50 crore. In the case of Maharashtra, one can only imagine the sums. Where is the country headed? How can democracy survive like this? BJP undermining Constitution, democracy: Ashok Gehlot Gehlots remarks have triggered varied interpretations within political circles. Some experts speculate Gehlot's statements are indirectly aimed at his former deputy and political rival within the party, Sachin Pilot. Pilot had staged a rebellion and shifted to Manesar with supporting MLAs during Gehlots tenure. Since then, Gehlot has consistently accused both the BJP and Pilot of plotting to topple his government. Pilot has recently become active in state politics and held a show of strength on the 25th death anniversary of his father, Rajesh Pilot an event attended by Gehlot himself. In the wake of these developments, many are drawing different meanings from Gehlots latest statement. Gehlot has been making headline-grabbing remarks over the past two days. On Wednesday, he claimed that a terrible conspiracy was underway to remove Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma from office, allegedly by some within the BJP. Responding sharply to this, CM Sharma said, Those who have never felt the pain of the common man cant understand the pain of others. Taking a jibe at the former CM, Sharma added, How can someone who has never suffered, understand the struggles of others? Gehlot warns of conspiracy to remove Rajasthan CM, sparks political storm
Hindi not in conflict with any Indian language, says Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, on Thursday asserted that Hindi is not in conflict with any Indian language, declaring that Hindi is the friend of all Indian languages. Speaking as the chief guest at the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the Department of Official Language, Shah emphasised the central role of language in shaping a nation's identity and progress. Describing language as the soul of a nation, Shah remarked that it is more than just a means of communication it embodies the very spirit of the country. Hindi cannot be inimical to any Indian language. It is a friend of all Indian languages, and together, Hindi and other Indian languages can take the mission of enhancing our national self-respect to its ultimate goal, he stated. Shah underlined the importance of the mother tongue in governance, saying, For any country to advance in line with its culture and conscience, it is essential that administration is conducted in the mother tongue. He added that no state can achieve greatness by neglecting its native language, reaffirming the Modi governments commitment to strengthening Indian languages. Praising the Department of Official Language, Shah noted that its 50-year journey from 1975 to 2025 will be remembered as a golden chapter in Indias quest for linguistic and cultural pride. He explained that the department was established to ensure governance in the peoples language and to foster national self-respect through the use of Indian languages in administration. No country can preserve its culture, literature, history, and social values without its language. For a nation to move forward with dignity and pride, its governance must be rooted in its own languages, he said. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modis Panch Pran (five pledges), Shah stressed the importance of shedding colonial mindsets. Until a person takes pride in their own language, and develops the ability to think, express, and decide in it, we cannot be free from the mentality of slavery, he said. He further noted that a nation's roots, traditions, and cultural identity cannot flourish if disconnected from its language. Shah cited the Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat initiative as an effective vehicle for promoting national unity through language. He highlighted cultural exchange events such as the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, Kashi-Telugu Sangamam, Saurashtra-Tamil Sangamam, Shashwat Mithila Mahotsav, and Bhasha Sangam. He noted that under the Bhasha Sangam initiative, students are being taught 100 commonly used sentences in the 22 constitutionally recognised languages, with implementation underway in schools. This initiative will soon become a life-giving force for Indian languages, growing like a vast banyan tree, Shah said. Madhya Pradesh was cited as a model state, where technical education is now offered in 12 Indian languages, including medical education in Hindi, backed by a fully developed curriculum. Shah encouraged other states to adopt similar models in medical and engineering education to enhance accessibility. He also highlighted the Modi governments recognition of additional classical languages, noting that Marathi, Pali, Prakrit, Assamese, and Bengali were given classical language status under PM Modi. India now has 11 classical languages: Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Marathi, Pali, Prakrit, Assamese, and Bengali. There is no country in the world with 11 classical languages, Shah remarked. He also pointed to the establishment of three Kendriya Vidyalayas for Sanskrit and the creation of the Central Institute of Classical Tamil for research and translation. He acknowledged the efforts of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language, which published three volumes in the past four years despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. On the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Shah said it reflects Indias cultural ethos and prioritises education in the mother tongue up to Class 5 and Class 8. He stated that 104 primary-level books have been introduced in 22 states and Union Territories. He added that teaching materials and books have been translated into Indian Sign Language for Classes 1 to 12. Additionally, more than 200 television channels now broadcast educational content in 29 languages, while over 366,000 digital learning resources in 133 dialects including seven foreign languages have been made available through the DIKSHA platform. Shah concluded by emphasising that language serves as a unifying force. The foundation being laid today under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi will help build a developed and strong India by 2047. Indian languages will not only be preserved but enriched, and their practical value will be significantly increased, he said. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including Delhi BJP Chief Rekha Gupta, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Vice-Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Official Language Bhartruhari Mahtab, Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi, and Secretary of the Department of Official Language, Anshuli Arya.
Demand not tenable: EC rejects Congress' plea for machine-readable Maharashtra voters' list
NEW DELHI: A day after the Congress urged the Election Commission to provide machine-readable digital copy of the Maharashtra voters' list, EC sources on Thursday said the demand is ot tenable under the prevailing legal framework, asserting that a similar plea of the party was junked by the Supreme Court in 2019. The EC sources said while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been demanding for machine-readable, digital copy of the electoral roll for the last seven months, such demand by the Congress is ot new. Rather, it forms part of a strategy by the political party for well over eight years, a fact that appears to have been selectively obscured in the present representation, an EC source pointed out. The EC sources said the demand reiterated by Gandhi, albeit consistent with the position historically maintained by the Congress, is ot tenable within the contours of the prevailing legal framework. They pointed out that the issue was already agitated by the Congress before the Supreme Court in a writ petition in 2018 filed by Kamal Nath, the then president of the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee. It appears that Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, may not have been appropriately apprised of the finality with which the matter stands concluded in judicial record, they said. Referring to the Supreme Court's verdict in Kamal Nath vs Election Commission of India, (2019), the sources said that top court had observed that it found force in the submission of EC. Clause 11.2.2.2 of the Election Manual uses the expression ext mode. Write to EC formally: Poll panel sources on Rahul Gandhi seeking reply over election rigging claim in Maharashtra polls The draft electoral roll in text mode has been supplied to the petitioner, the apex court had said. The clause nowhere says that the draft electoral roll has to be put up on the Chief Electoral Officer's website in a 'searchable PDF'. Therefore, the petitioner cannot claim, as a right, that the draft electoral roll should be placed on the website in a 'searchable mode'. It has only to be in 'text mode' and it is so provided, the apex court had observed. The Congress on Wednesday urged the EC to provide machine-readable digital copy of the Maharashtra voters' list along with video footage of the polling day of the state and Haryana within a week. The Congress and Gandhi have consistently accused the poll authority of fudging voter data to help the BJP. Gandhi has alleged that the Maharashtra assembly polls held last year were rigged . The poll authority has denied the allegations, saying elections are strictly held under electoral laws passed by Parliament.

BJP undermining Constitution, democracy: Ashok Gehlot
JAIPUR: Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot launched a sharp attack on the BJP on Thursday, accusing the ruling party at the Centre of undermining the Constitution and democracy in the country. Calling the current situation an undeclared emergency, the veteran Congress leader said the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) actions reflect a systematic erosion of democratic values over the last 11 years. In a post on X, he said, It is ironic that BJP governments are observing 'Constitution Murder Day'. It is like a dishonest person giving lectures on honesty. Gehlot alleged that civil liberties, freedom of the press and opposition voices are being stifled in the country. The current situation in India can be described in just two words -- 'undeclared emergency'. The Constitution may not have been suspended nor has the President made any formal declaration, but efforts to suppress people's rights, freedom of expression, and the voice of the opposition are ongoing, he said. 11 , Ashok Gehlot (@ashokgehlot51) June 26, 2025 Gehlot accused the BJP-led Centre of using probe agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against opposition leaders and of criminalising dissent. A journalist asking questions is branded anti-national, a protesting student is called a terrorist, and an opposition leader is targeted by the ED. Is this the new model of democracy under the BJP? he questioned. Citing cases against journalists like Siddique Kappan and raids on media houses, including NDTV, Dainik Bhaskar, BBC and NewsClick, the Congress leader said, If this is not strangulation of press freedom, then what is? He also compared the present situation with the Emergency period (1975 to 1977), claiming that even then, no chief ministers were jailed or parliament memberships cancelled. But under the BJP, the Chief Ministers of Jharkhand and Delhi were imprisoned, and Rahul Gandhi's MP membership was revoked, he said. Gehlot alleged that governments were toppled through horse-trading in several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa and Manipur. The BJP has stolen public mandate by buying MLAs, he said. He further claimed that surveillance and phone-tapping have become routine. Even couples are afraid to speak on normal calls and prefer FaceTime or WhatsApp due to fear of being overheard, he said. On the issue of federalism, Gehlot accused the Centre of bypassing states. The constitutional principle of division of powers is not being respected. The central government is imposing laws even on subjects in the state list, and governors are interfering in states run by opposition parties, he said. We will not fear. We will not bow down. We will continue to fight to protect the Constitution, democracy, and the voice of the people, the Congress leader asserted.

Madhya Pradesh HC acquits postmaster convicted for minor clerical error after 32 years
BHOPAL: It took a postmaster 32 years to finally get justice in a case which began with a minor clerical error. Back in 1983, Manakram, then in his 40s, was posted as postmaster at a post office branch in Madhya Pradeshs Betul district. An inspection of the post office revealed that Manakram had failed to make the desired entry of a Rs 3,956 deposit in the branch register. Though the sum was deposited in the treasury and its entry also made in the account holders passbook, the absence of its entry in the branchs deposit register landed him in legal trouble. Though no financial irregularity was established, the error was considered as embezzlement and criminal proceedings were initiated against him. In 1993, a trial court convicted Manakram under Section 409 of the IPC (criminal breach of trust by a public servant). The court subsequently sentenced him to imprisonment till the rising of the court and slapped Rs 3,000 fine on him. This sentence doesnt require confinement in a jail, but rather allows the court to direct the place of confinement. Manakram challenged the decision in the district and sessions court, but it upheld his conviction. He then moved the Madhya Pradesh High Court in Jabalpur, but finally got justice recently. Delivering the verdict, the HC bench headed by Justice MS Bhatti, not only reversed the lower courts verdict but also pronounced that the postmans act amounted to a departmental lapse and not a criminal offence. The high court further stated in its recent order that before delivering such judgments, the lower courts need to assess whether the act was committed with a criminal intent or not.
Madhya Pradesh farmer who sought bride from religious stage goes missing after trip to Gorakhpur
BHOPAL: A month after a viral video showed 45-year-old part-time teacher and farmer Indra Kumar Tiwari appealing for a bride from the stage of a religious event in Madhya Pradeshs Jabalpur district, he has mysteriously gone missing. Tiwari, a resident of Padwar (Khitola) village in Jabalpur, was last seen on June 2. Before leaving, he told neighbours he was travelling to Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh and would return by June 6. When he failed to return, concerned villagers reported his disappearance, prompting the Majhouli Police Station to file a missing persons report on June 8. Police have since been trying to trace the middle-aged man, who has no close family members, complicating the investigation. Tiwaris public plea for marriage had gained attention after he spoke on stage during a religious gathering led by young preacher Swami Aniruddhacharya. According to locals, Tiwari had often expressed a desire to find a suitable match, possibly putting him on the radar of fraudsters running marriage scams. Before leaving for Gorakhpur, someone from there had met him. It is suspected he may have been lured with the promise of marriage, police sources involved in the probe said. Villagers claim that after his video went viral, unknown individuals contacted Tiwari, promising to arrange his marriage to a woman named Khushi. They reportedly asked him to bring jewellery and cash with him to Gorakhpur. Superintendent of Police Sampat Upadhyaya confirmed that Tiwari had indeed reached Gorakhpur, but disappeared shortly thereafter. Were actively investigating his disappearance. The lack of close relatives has made the case challenging, but were working on vital clues. The involvement of Looteri Dulhan (runaway bride) gangs is a possibility we are not ruling out, he said. The police continue to rely heavily on local villagers for leads, as they press on with efforts to solve the mystery of Tiwaris disappearance.

No Indian will ever forget how spirit of Constitution was violated: PM Modi on Emergency
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday that no Indian will ever forget the manner in which the spirit of the Constitution was violated during the Emergency, as he affirmed his government's commitment to strengthening constitutional principles. In a series of posts on X on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, Modi said it was one of the darkest chapters in India's democratic history. The values enshrined in the Constitution were set aside, fundamental rights suspended, press freedom extinguished and a large number of political leaders, social workers, students and ordinary citizens jailed, he noted. The prime minister said, It was as if the Congress Government in power at that time placed democracy under arrest. Today marks fifty years since one of the darkest chapters in Indias democratic history, the imposition of the Emergency. The people of India mark this day as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas. On this day, the values enshrined in the Indian Constitution were set aside, fundamental rights Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 25, 2025 The Modi government had announced last year that the Emergency anniversary will be commemorated as Samvidhan Hatya Diwas. The 42nd Amendment, which made extensive changes to the Constitution and was reversed by the Janata Party government, is a prime example of the shenanigans of the Congress government that imposed Emergency, he said. He added that the poor, marginalised and downtrodden were particularly targeted, including their dignity insulted. We also reiterate our commitment to strengthening the principles in our Constitution and working together to realise our vision of a Viksit Bharat. May we scale new heights of progress and fulfil the dreams of the poor and downtrodden, Modi said. Saluting every person who stood firm in the fight against the Emergency, the prime minister said these were the people from all over India, from all walks of life, from diverse ideologies who worked closely with each other with one aim: to protect India's democratic fabric and to preserve the ideals for which freedom fighters devoted their lives. It was their collective struggle that ensured that the then Congress Government had to restore democracy and call for fresh elections, which they badly lost, he said. We salute every person who stood firm in the fight against the Emergency! These were the people from all over India, from all walks of life, from diverse ideologies who worked closely with each other with one aim: to protect Indias democratic fabric and to preserve the ideals Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) June 25, 2025 Congress leaders should 'repent' on June 25 every year: Scindia Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said the Congress leaders should epent on June 25 every year, as he recalled the imposition of Emergency under the party's rule on this day 50 years ago. Taking a veiled dig at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, Scindia on Tuesday said nothing can be achieved by just oaming around with a copy of the Constitution. He also accused the Congress of playing politics over Babasaheb Ambedkar, a day after the party leaders staged a protest seeking the installation of the statue of the Constitution's chief architect on the premises of the Madhya Pradesh High Court's Gwalior bench. The minister said the Grand Old Party had defeated Ambedkar in elections by fielding a candidate against him. The political party which trampled Babasaheb's Constitution through a dark chapter on June 25, 1975 (when Emergency was imposed) is now talking about the Constitution. Nothing can be achieved by just roaming around with the (copy of) Constitution in hand. The Constitution has to be kept alive in the soul, Scindia told reporters. The BJP MP further said the Congress and its leaders should repent on June 25 every year. The party which fielded a candidate against Ambedkar and defeated him in elections, the party whose government removed Babasaheb from the council of ministers, is now glorifying him. This is akin to a thief scolding a police officer, he added. Meghwal recalls role of those who fought for democracy Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal recalled the role of people who fought for democratic values during the imposition of Emergency. The minister dubbed the 21-month long Emergency as a lack chapter in the history of the country's democracy. This was the time when freedom of expression, civil rights and constitutional values were crushed, he wrote on X. He recalled the role of those who fought for rights in that dark period while facing inhuman torture and oppression with indomitable courage. '' 1975 , , pic.twitter.com/Iohuwt9CUi Arjun Ram Meghwal (@arjunrammeghwal) June 25, 2025 Congress continues to have dictatorial mindset of Emergency: Nadda BJP president J P Nadda said the Congress continues to have the same dictatorial mindset that was behind the imposition of the Emergency 50 years back, stating that it believes only one family has a right to govern the country. In his remarks on the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, he said the Congress is still unable to reconcile to the idea of a person from a humble background, like Narendra Modi, as prime minister. While Rahul Gandhi and the Congress cite the Constitution, he said the opposition party has still not apologised for the Emergency, the 21-month period between June 1975 and March 1977 during which opposition leaders were jailed, the press censored and civil liberties suspended by the then prime minister Indira Gandhi. Undemocratic amendments were introduced to the Constitution and its soul was distorted, he said of the era. Nadda claimed that the law and order situation in the Congress-ruled states remained as it was in the Emergency, marked by suppression of dissent, religious appeasement and arrogance of power. Recalling the jailing of opposition leaders, including from the Jana Sangh, the forerunner to the BJP, during the period, Nadda noted that Modi as an RSS functionary had then defied the government and spread awareness among people about the excesses of the Congress. Nadda also urged people to read the book, 'The Emergency Diaries - Years that Forged a Leader, which highlights Modi's role in fighting the Emergency. It is necessary to keep the memory of the Emergency and its consequences alive, he said, asserting that Indira Gandhi had turned the country into a laboratory for family rule and cult of personality. Nadda noted that the Congress government during the Emergency punished an honest Supreme Court judge like Justice H R Khanna, who was superseded for the post of Chief Justice of India, for an order that went against the government. A citizen had then no right to move court even if shot by police, he noted. Paying tributes to those who staked their lives to protect democracy, Nadda said it was a black chapter in Indian democracy as the Constitution was murdered. The Congress continues to have the same dictatorial mindset, he alleged. Censorship, arrests and merger of news agencies tools to control media during 1975 Emergency

The CMs of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttarakhand attended the 25th edition of the high-level meeting, which was conducted at Hotel Taj.

The last meeting of the council was held on October 7, 2023, in Uttarakhand. Zonal councils provide a structured mechanism for dialogue and discussion on issues affecting two or more states or between the Centre and states. They serve as an important platform to foster cooperation. Shah, who arrived in Varanasi on Monday for a two-day visit, led the discussions with the chief ministers of the four states and other senior officials. According to government sources, the deliberations centred around social development, transportation and border issues, law and order, environmental concerns, and matters related to minorities.

In this spirit, I participated in the 25th Central Zonal Council meeting chaired by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah in Varanasi. Adityanath had earlier posted that the council strengthens federal unity, national integrity, and regional development. Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami posted on X, During the meeting, I requested increased support through the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) to strengthen road, communication, and security infrastructure in the border areas. I also stressed the need for faster expansion of BharatNet and satellite communication services under the Vibrant Village Programme, he said. Dhami stated that he requested the simplification of the grant process under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, called for the repealing of the 1989 Remote Valley Notification, and asked for additional central assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana to repair roads damaged during natural disasters in the hilly regions of Uttarakhand. He also requested the Centres support for setting up a glacier research centre, biodiversity conservation institute, and an international adventure sports training centre. Additionally, I sought assistance for successfully organising the Nanda Raj Jat Yatra (2026) and the 2027 Kumbh Mela, he said. Dhami added that the state government is working towards making Uttarakhand an active contributor in building Viksit Bharat. MP CM Mohan Yadav said the discussion focused on cooperation between states, development, security, health and tourism. He shared a photo from the meeting. Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai said the meeting saw detailed discussions on a range of critical issues and described it as a key step towards cooperative and competitive federalism. Earlier in the morning, Yadav and Sai offered prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath temple ahead of the meeting. There are five zonal councils in the country, which are statutory bodies set up under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956.

Meghalaya honeymoon murder: victims family to seek narco test of wife and key accused
BHOPAL: The family of Raja Raghuvanshi, the young Indore-based transporter who was murdered during his honeymoon in Meghalaya on 23 May, is preparing to move the Meghalaya High Court to demand Narco Analysis Tests for Rajas wife Sonam Raghuvanshi and co-accused Raj Kushwah. Rajas elder brother, Vipin Raghuvanshi, confirmed on Monday that the family has already consulted advocates in Meghalaya and will soon file a petition. We believe the exact motive behind my brothers killing is still unclear. Sonam and Raj have given conflicting statements during police interrogation, seemingly to mislead investigators and shield one another, Vipin said. The family will also request a court-monitored probe into the alleged business dealings between Sonam and Raj, which came to light through Sonams brother, Govind. Govind recently told us that Sonam and Raj had started a firmoriginally intended to be his venture early this year. They allegedly operated it through a bank account in the name of Rajs mother, Chunni Devi, with transactions of around 7.58 lakh, Vipin added. Meghalaya honeymoon murder case: Two more arrested in MP for destroying crucial evidence Owner of Indore flat detained In a fresh development, Lokendra Singh Tomar, the owner of the Indore flat where Sonam hid for nine days after the murder, has been detained by police in Gwalior for questioning. Meghalaya Police are en route to question Tomar, according to Gwalior Range DIG Amit Sanghi. This comes a day after the Meghalaya Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) made two more arrests in Madhya Pradesh. Building contractor-cum-property broker Shilom James and private security guard Balveer Ahirwar were arrested from Indore and Ashok Nagar, respectively. They allegedly assisted Sonam during her time in hiding from 30 May to 7 June. James had arranged the flat where Sonam stayed, while Ahirwar reportedly helped in destroying a black bag she left behind after fleeing Indore on 8 June. She later resurfaced in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, on 9 June. The bag believed to have contained a laptop, cash, jewellery, and a pistol was reportedly handed over by Ahirwar to James, who then burnt it behind his house. Meghalaya Police plan to conduct a forensic analysis of the remains to determine the contents of the bag. Preliminary questioning of James and Ahirwar suggests that Tomar may also have been involved in the destruction of evidence. He had been missing since their arrests but was later tracked down by Gwalior police. So far, seven people have been arrested in connection with the high-profile case: Sonam Raghuvanshi, Raj Kushwah, three hired men allegedly involved in Rajas murder, Shilom James, and Balveer Ahirwar.
