Insider track | Buzz on Congress media wing rejig
As Congress undertakes a major organisational reshuffle after a series of poll setbacks, all eyes are on whether the party will make changes at the helm of its communications department, which is crucial in shaping its narrative in the media. According to sources, the names of former Rajasthan deputy CM Sachin Pilot and Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari have emerged in internal meetings as potential candidates for prominent role in the department. However, the party is yet to take a call as it is preparing for the AICC session in Ahmedabad on April 8 and 9. The party acknowledges that holding such a powerful position within the organisation demands political influence to work effectively with the AICC leadership and other units as well as to develop communication strategies to counter BJPs narrative. Currently, the department is headed by Jairam Ramesh. The department includes Pawan Khera, chairman of media and publicity department, and Supriya Shrinate, chairperson of social media and digital platforms. Modi heads to RSS HQ on March 30 There is speculation that the BJP may decide its new national president in the first week of April. The buzz gets stronger as PM Narendra Modi is expected to visit the RSS headquarters in Nagpur on March 30 and is likely to meet Mohan Bhagwat and other senior functionaries. The visit has sparked rumours that Modi may seek the Sanghs approval for selecting the new BJP chief as well as discuss other important political matters, including the likely induction of RSS-affiliated leaders in the cabinet reshuffle, which is expected to take place in May or June. One source says it would be Modis first visit to Nagpur since the 2024 Lok Sabha and Maharashtra Assembly elections. The final details of the visit are expected to be confirmed by the PMO soon. Sources suggest Modi may pay tribute at Hedgewar Smriti Bhavan in Reshimbagh and visit Deekshabhoomi, an important Buddhist site. The PM is also expected to attend a foundation-laying ceremony for a private eye hospital, where he could share the stage with Bhagwat. Constitution, RP Act gifts from CEC The Election Commission is facing heat from Opposition parties, which have raised complaints about its conduct. In response to controversies regarding electoral rolls and other issues, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar emphasised that the EC operates solely based on two key documents: The Constitution and the Representation of the People Act, 1951. These, he stated, are the only Bibles the EC follows when conducting polls. During an informal interaction, Kumar acknowledged the media as the commissions true partner in overseeing the poll process. However, he humorously suggested that before journalists ask questions on behalf of parties, they should familiarise themselves with these two important texts. To drive home his point, he gifted each journalist a hard copy of the Constitution and the RP Act. Europe eyes defence ties with India The European Union is focused on deepening strategic ties with India, with the European Commission signaling strong support for the move. Commission president Ursula von der Leyen led the first visit by the College of Commissioners to India on February 27-28. Indias strategic location in the Indo-Pacific, through which about 80% of global trade passes, makes it a crucial partner for aintaining regional security and ensuring freedom of navigationboth vital to EU interests. Other European countries are also stepping up their engagement with India. India and Belgium are aiming to finalise a defence agreement within the year. Belgium is also planning to appoint its first defence attach at its embassy in New Delhi. Germany is working to build stronger defence ties with India, particularly to monitor developments in the Indo-Pacific.
Mewar mourns death of descendant of Maharana Pratap in Udaipur
JAIPUR: Arvind Singh Mewar, a member of the erstwhile royal family of Mewar and a descendant of the legendary Maharana Pratap, died at the City Palace in Udaipur early on Sunday after prolonged illness, his family said. He was 81. Arvind Singh was the younger son of Maharana Bhagwat Singh Mewar and Sushila Kumari Mewar. His son Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar shared a message on his social media account, announcing that the final rites of the Ekling Diwan would take place on Monday at 11 am. The Mewar royal family considers Lord Eklingji as the true ruler, while they serve as his Diwan (minister). Expressing his condolences, Rajasthan CM Bhajanlal Sharma said, The passing of Arvind Singh Mewar, a senior member of Mewars royal family, is deeply saddening. His contribution to preserving Mewars glorious heritage was remarkable. His inspiring personality and exemplary character will continue to guide future generations. Former CMs Vasundhara Raje and Ashok Gehlot, former deputy CM Sachin Pilot and Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, among others, also extended their condolences. Arvind Singh received his early education at Mayo College. He later pursued Hotel Management at St Albans Metropolitan College, UK. He in the US between 1979 and 1981. Upon returning to India, he took on the role of personal secretary to his father (1981-1984). During 1982-83, he served as the General Manager of the Lake Palace Hotel, Udaipur. He was the Chairman and MD of HRH Group of Hotels, a chain dedicated to preserving Rajasthans royal hospitality. He also led several trusts, including the Maharana Mewar Foundation Trust and and Rajmata Gulab Kunwar Charitable Trust. In 1972, he married Vijayraj Kumari, the granddaughter of Maharao Vijayarajaji of Kutch. The couple had three children daughters Bhargavi Kumari and Padmaja Kumari, and a son, Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar. An advocate for sustainable energy, he spearheaded initiatives to promote solar power in Udaipur. In 1992, he initiated research on solar energy for local transport, leading to the development of six prototype solar rickshaws and an electric motorcycle by 2003. In November 2024, Arvind Singh found himself in the midst of a family dispute following death of his elder brother, Mahendra Singh. The disagreement revolved around the coronation (Pagri Dastoor) of Mahendra Singhs son, BJP MLA Vishwaraj Singh Mewar.
Saluting the spirit of service
It is important to honour the tireless spirit of service. So, the Rajasthani Association Tamil Nadu, on behalf of the Rajasthani community in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, set their eyes on honouring the unacknowledged leaders for their unnoticed service. Beyond awarding the changemakers, Praveen Kumar Tatia, president of the association said, it was also about celebrating the two cultures. The chief guests for the event were Justice KR Shriram, Chief Justice of the Madras High Court; and S Gurumurthy, editor, the Tamil weekly Tughlaq and the head of the jury. They were adorned with Rajasthani safa (turban) and angavasthram a gesture to show the flourishing cultural relationships of Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. With 231 nominees, each participant having an inspiring story to share, it was a sea of knowledge for the jury members, opening windows to the ground realities of the countries. The six jury members for the Rajasthani-Tamil Seva Awards included N Ravi, former editor-in-chief, The Hindu ; Padma Subrahmanyam, renowned Bharatnatyam dancer; N Sugalchand Jain, industrialist and philanthropist; P Balagurusamy, eminent academician; and Praveen Kumar Tatia. Three individuals and an institution were honoured for their contributions to society. Irai Anbu, former chief secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu, whose wisdom and leadership has touched governance, education, and literature in India, was awarded for imparting his knowledge and igniting minds. This visionary, who has mentored several IAS officers, and PhD scholars, said humbly, If the work is fine in the way you expected it to be done, that itself is an award. He aims to bring in more projects in Kannagi Nagar and continue driving landmark reforms. CD Sanath Kumar, founder, Cambridge/ Indus Valley Senior Secondary Schools, has added different dimensions to learning and created a change by inculcating agriculture into the syllabus. He has contributed to the fields of education, healthcare, and rural development. His disability doesnt define him nor stop him from doing what he envisioned. M Yoganathans story is yet another one that inspires us. His journey began as a bus conductor. By planting more than 30 lakh saplings, he did his bit for nature. He was honoured in PMs Mann Ki Baat, and has received many awards like Pasumai Porali, Real Hero, etc. The Tree Man of India, said trees have been blessings for him a saviour during his days of illness, hoping that the coming generations breathe fresh air. Swami Vivekananda Rural Development Society was honoured for being a catalyst in holistic rural development venturing into education, healthcare, employment, training, and many more reaching 1,000 villages in Tamil Nadu. R Krishnan (on behalf of the organisation) was honoured for the unwavering commitment towards empowering rural India. Presented with a trophy, a citation, and `2 lakh prize, all the awardees emphasised that they would use the amount for the society and continue doing their service. KR Shriram, congratulated the four awardees and said, Rajasthani-Tamil Seva Awards serve as a tribute to the unsung heroes who have tirelessly worked for the upliftment of the less fortunate, nourishing talent among our youth, and ensuring that the marginalised have a voice. Sharing his thoughts on the beauty of diversity in India, Gurumurthy said there is a deep consciousness in the country. It is important that communities do not forget their values. The commonality is five percent and the diversity is 95 percent. The Rajasthanis are probably the most mobile community of the country, he chuckled, urging them to keep deepening the bond and connectivity. Towards the end of the programme, a book Rajasthanis in Tamil Nadu: 100 Years of Legacy, chronicling years of social service and philanthropy, was also launched, formally unveiled by Gurumurthy.

Explained: How Indias new Immigration Bill overhauls foreign entry, visa rules
Anyone found using a forged passport or visa for entering, staying or exiting India will be punished with a jail term of up to seven years and a fine to the extent of Rs 10 lakh if the new immigration bill is approved by Parliament. The legislation , piloted by the Union Home Ministry, also provides for mandatory reporting of information about foreigners by hotels, universities, other educational institutions, hospitals and nursing homes to enable tracking of overstaying foreigners. All international airlines and ships will also be required to submit at a port or place in India the passenger and crew manifest, the advance information of passengers and crew on board of such aircraft, vessel or other mode of transport. Whoever knowingly uses or supplies a forged or fraudulently obtained passport or other travel document or visa for entering into India or staying in or exiting from India, shall be punishable with an imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than two years, but may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine which shall not be less than one lakh rupees, but may extend to ten lakh rupees, according to the bill introduced in Lok Sabha on March 11. It also says that any foreigner who enters into any area in India without a valid passport or other travel document, including visa required for such entry in contravention of provisions of the law or of any rule or order given in pursuance thereof, shall be punishable with an imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years with a fine which may extend to five lakh rupees or with both. The legislation empowers the Centre to exert control over places that are frequented by any foreigner and require the owner to close the premises, permit its use under specified conditions, or refuse admission to all or a specified class of foreigners. Draft immigration bill: Onus on individuals to prove citizenship, immigration officer to arrest person without warrant The Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025 is a comprehensive legislation to regulate all matters relating to foreigners and immigration. Matters relating to foreigners and immigration are presently administered through four Acts-the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920, the Registration of Foreigners Act, 1939, the Foreigners Act, 1946 and the Immigration (Carriers' Liability) Act, 2000. All these laws are now proposed to be repealed. While the Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025 consists of several existing provisions in the four Acts proposed to be repealed after simplification and harmonisation, it also has certain new provisions to meet the present-day requirements. This legislation is in line with the government's policy of simplification of laws, ease of doing business and minimising compliance burden. It seeks to balance the requirements of national security and related issues of immigration of foreigners with the need to promote economic growth and tourism in the country. However, it is not connected with any matters related with grant of citizenship. The Bill will help in tackling the problem of illegal migration into India and facilitate tracking of movement of overstaying foreigners within India. It will also help in reducing the compliance burden, an officer said. While Indian visas of all categories to foreigners can be granted in physical or sticker form by Indian missions or posts located abroad, the Bureau of Immigration (BoI) grants electronic visas under seven categories to people from 167 countries. Besides, visa-on-arrival is granted by immigration authorities at six designated airports to nationals of three countries -- Japan, South Korea and the UAE (only for such UAE nationals who had earlier obtained e-visa or regular or paper visa for India). The stay and movement of foreigners in India and their exit are regulated by the BoI and state governments and Union Territory administrations. According to existing laws, all foreigners on long-term (more than 180 days) student, medical, research, employment, missionary and project visas are required to register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer (FRRO) or the Foreigners Registration Officer (FRO) concerned, having jurisdiction over the place where the foreigner intends to stay, within 14 days of arrival. Pakistani nationals are required to register within 24 hours of their arrival. Other laws that cover foreigners in India include the Citizenship Act, 1955, which regulates acquisition and termination of Indian citizenship as well as acquisition and registration of foreigners as Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). Apart from movement, stay and visa, there are certain protected areas in India where foreigners need special permits to travel, including multiple states in the northeastern region, the whole of Andaman and Nicobar, and parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. According to Union Home Ministry data, 98.40 lakh foreigners visited India between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024. (With inputs from PTI)

Member of erstwhile royal family Arvind Singh Mewar passes away
JAIPUR: Arvind Singh Mewar, the member of the erstwhile royal family of Mewar and the chairman of the HRH group of hotels died early Sunday in Udaipur after prolonged illness, family sources said. Mewar (81), a descendant of Rajput king Maharana Pratap, had been ill for a long time and was receiving treatment at his residence in Udaipur's City Palace. He is survived by his wife, Vijayraj Kumari, son Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, and daughters Bhargavi Kumari Mewar and Padmaja Kumari Parmar. His funeral will take place on Monday. As a mark of respect, the Udaipur City Palace will be closed for tourists on Sunday and Monday. He was the younger son of Bhagwant Singh Mewar and Sushila Kumari. His elder brother, Mahendra Singh Mewar, died in November last year. Arvind Singh Mewar was educated at the prestigious Mayo College, Ajmer and pursued hotel management courses in the UK and US. He received training in various international hotels. He lived and worked in Chicago for many years before building the HRH group of hotels as a professionally-managed corporate organisation. An avid cricketer, Mewar made his Ranji Trophy debut as Rajasthan's captain in 1945-46 and enjoyed a successful career spanning nearly two decades. In the 1970s, he also played polo before retiring from the sport due to health reasons. To showcase his commitment to professional polo in the UK, he instituted 'The Udaipur Cup' at the Cambridge and Newmarket Polo Club. In Udaipur, Mewar Polo was formed as a polo team with professional players who had been handpicked and specially trained for Indian tournaments. The Mewar Polo team lifted the prestigious President's Cup defeating the 61st Cavalry players in 1991. He was also an avid pilot and has done solo flights across India in a microlite aircraft. Mewar was the Chairman and Managing Trustee of the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation, Udaipur and also headed other trusts. Since the death of his father, Bhagwat Singh Mewar, there have been conflicts and issues between his descendants regarding the leadership of the house of Mewar and a property dispute. Bhagwant Singh willed his property through a trust to Arvind, named him his successor, and disinherited his eldest son, Mahendra Singh Mewar, because he had filed a lawsuit against him. After the death of his father in 1984, Arvind assumed the leadership of the house. At the same time, Mahendra Singh Mewar, being the elder son, was coronated as the titular head of the family. Mahendra Singh Mewar died in November last year and his son Vishvaraj Singh Mewar, also a BJP MLA, was made the titular head of the family. A controversy erupted when Vishvaraj Singh was not allowed to enter the City Palace of Udaipur by his cousin brother and Arvind Singh Mewar's son Lakshyaraj Singh to complete the rituals. However, the deadlock ended later after Vishwaraj Singh was allowed to enter the city Palace to visit 'dhuni' (sacred fire) to offer prayers to the deity.

Nitish Reddy Cleared For IPL 2025, Set To Join SRH Camp
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Nitish Kumar Reddy has been given the green light by the BCCIs medical team at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to take part in IPL 2025. He will be available for Sunrisers Hyderabads opening match on March 23, when they host Rajasthan Royals. Nitish is expected to join the SRH pre-season camp, which begins on Sunday. The final step in his recovery was a yo-yo test on Saturday morning, where he recorded a score of 18 - comfortably surpassing the qualifying mark of 16.5, ESPNcricinfo reported. This milestone confirmed his readiness after undergoing the standard rehabilitation process for a side strain he sustained during last months T20I series against England. On Friday, Nitish played in a practice match and bowled at full intensity without any discomfort. The BCCIs medical panel took a cautious approach with his recovery, extending his rehab by two weeks beyond the initial three-week estimate. He remains a key part of Indias Test plans, with a tour of England scheduled shortly after the IPL concludes in late May. SRH had retained five players ahead of last years mega auction, with Nitish among them. He enjoyed a breakthrough IPL 2024 season, scoring 303 runs at a strike rate of 142.92. His bowling, however, was less effective, managing just three wickets while conceding runs at an economy of 11.62. Following his IPL success, Nitish made his international debut in the T20I series against Bangladesh at home. His reputation soared further when he played all five Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, highlighted by a maiden Test century in Melbourne.

Rajasthan, Gujarat businessmen in Tiruchy were all ears to budget amid Holi bash
TIRUCHY: Generations of merchants from Rajasthan and Gujarat who conduct business on Gujili Street in Tiruchy city marked Holi on Friday with music and colour as always. As the festival of colours and the state budget fell on the same day, they had to spare time for both though the younger lot in their communities continued with their vibrant celebrations. Some merchants started their celebrations at about 7 am on Friday and rushed to their shops to keep a watch on the budget presentation. While the elders kept their eye on smartphones and TV screens, the youngsters were out splashing coloured powders and flinging water balloons. We often forget much about the business during the day of Holi. But this time, we had to keep ourselves alert about the major budget announcements. It helps us to plan business strategies. After celebrating with my family in the morning, I went back to watch the budget, said Dinesh Mathur, a resident of Gujili Street. He belongs to the second generation, and his father, along with his family from Rajasthan, started a stationery business on Gujili Street about 45 years ago. While music and celebrations were in full swing, some businessmen like Tejas Patel who were keeping a watch on various social media groups for budget updates found it hard not to get distracted. We are not experts on analysing the budget, but we have to keep an eye on it. We want to know whether it would push more development in Tiruchy and nearby districts. Only then we would get more business. I didn't want to lose focus on budget updates amid celebrations all around. I thought about requesting the youngsters to reduce the volume of music but later I ignored it and joined the celebrations, said Tejas Patel, a senior citizen and merchant running a wholesale shop for plastic products. The Gujarati has been residing on Gujili Street for the past 48 years.

Under the sweltering Chennai sun, the gathering loomed big in white t-shirts. As handfuls of gulaal were tossed into the air, a riot of purple and green enveloped the crowd. Children armed with water guns shrieked in delight, drenching anyone within range. Holi had begun at Island Grounds at Rang Barso 2025, hosted by Funcho. For many, the festival is more than just colours its a time of reunions and joy. Its fun, its colour, yelling, screaming, catching up, said Sakshi, her face streaked with green. The last time I saw some of these friends was for Dandiya night, shared Smriti, smearing purple onto her friends cheek. She added, Phones are aside, and we are fully present. Thats the best part Holi restricts distractions. Holi celebrations across the country have evolved over the years. Roshni noted, In Tamil Nadu, Holi isnt as big as in the North, but we have our traditions. The night before, Holi is significant in some communities. Sejal, who hails from Rajasthan, mentioned her hometowns Gair dance, a Holi staple. Beyond dance and tradition, Holis festive indulgences hold a special place. Gujiya is a must! said Sakshi. However, she also pointed out Chennais relentless heat. Once you step outside, the sun makes you rethink all your choices. Meanwhile, Holi colours, while beautiful, come with risks. I always apply coconut oil and sunscreen, said Sakshi. Puneet said, Since it is so hot in the city, there is a risk of sunburns also. Synthetic colours can cause allergies, so I try to use organic ones. Chennaiites are mindful when it comes to playing with colours, and most of them prefer dry Holi celebrations. Water balloons are fun, but they waste too much water. It is important to balance traditions while also having environmental concerns, he said. In the joyous spirit, people can cross boundaries, posing a concern. While Rang Barso ensured safety, a general discussion among participants was about womens safety. Groping is so common. Sometimes, people get intoxicated and come and celebrate. Even though it is not allowed, without stricter restrictions, things like this can happen, admitted Smriti, saying. Thats why we prefer having male friends around. But everyone has to be respectful and consent is very important. A quick check before applying colours onto a stranger is not that difficult. The phrase Bura na mano, Holi hai (Dont mind, its Holi) is often misused. Smriti said, Its a tradition, not an excuse. If its fun for you, it should be fun for others too. Sejal shared her own experiences, We get teased, followed people cross boundaries and think its acceptable. She believes more restrictions should be in place, stating, Authorities should take better action against misbehaviour. Sakshi echoed, People forget boundaries. If we neutralise things, make respect non-negotiable, Holi can be safer for everyone. At its core, Holi is a festival of unity. It brings people from different castes, classes, and ethnicities together. As Smriti said, If people were more mindful of their behaviour, Holi would truly be inclusive. Be respectful its really that simple.

We've had one of the best IPL cycles in the last three seasons, with the highest winning percentage and some of the best players Rajasthan Royals has ever had. We had all the superstars from around the world, and it felt like a family. But then, as per IPL rules, you have to let go of that family and build a new one again. So that's where we are now. We've brought in some interesting players, from a 13-year-old to a 35-year-old, creating a mix of youth and experience in the squad. Personally, I'm very excited about this challengemeeting new people, building relationships, and understanding the personalities behind the performances. Thats where the real fun lies, said Samson on JioHotstar. Asked on how his preparation work has been, Samson revealed, The work begins long before the IPL, during the 7-10 days of preparation. I try to spend as much time as possible outside my room, talking to my players and coaches, building that camaraderie. And then, we embark on the journey together as a unit. Thats where the joy of being a captain comes in. Samson also shared valuable advice he received from Rahul Dravid, whos back to being RR head coach, in his early days, and which he now applies as the sides captain. As a captain, I see how he led from the frontnot just through his skills but off the field as well. He never missed an optional practice session when he was the captain.

Rahul Sir Picked Me In 2013 To Play Under Him, Now Hes Back As Coach When I Am Captain: Samson
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said his reunion with Rahul Dravid, who will be the sides head coach, has been a moment of pure nostalgia, as he was the one who picked him to play for the franchise all the way back in 2013. Dravid was the RR skipper when an 18-year-old Samson made his IPL debut in 2013, before transitioning as team mentor for the next two seasons. After being in the national set-up, including coaching India to 2024 Mens T20 World Cup win, Dravid is back in RR as their head coach when IPL 2025 starts from March 22. Its quite funny how things work out. In my first season, Rahul sir was the one who spotted me during the trials. He was the captain back then, looking out for young talent. After watching me, he came up to me and said, Okay, can you play for my team? From that day to today, it feels surreal. Now, I am the captain of the franchise, and Rahul sir has returned after so many years to coach the team. Its a unique and special feeling. He was always part of the Rajasthan Royals family, and we are all grateful to have him back. I have played under him both at Rajasthan Royals and in the Indian team when he was the coach. But now, having him as a coach while I captain the side is something truly special. I am looking forward to learning a lot from him in the coming years, and its really exciting, said Samson on JioHotstar. RR, the inaugural edition winners, will open their IPL 2025 campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on March 23. Asked about what one can expect from Dravids second stint with RR, Samson remarked, Ive always observed him from a distance and also been close to him. Hes a top-notch professional who ensures that every aspect of preparation is taken care of. I was with him last month in Nagpur, Talegaon, and saw how involved he is. From 10 AM in the morning till 5 PM in the evening, in the heat, he was there watching batsmen bat and bowlers bowl, interacting with them, discussing strategies with the coaches. He is fully committed to the team, from A to Z. Thats something I admire and want to learnhow to prepare better. Preparation is a key part of his character, and I want to incorporate that into my own approach, he elaborated. I was with him last month in Nagpur, Talegaon, and saw how involved he is. From 10 AM in the morning till 5 PM in the evening, in the heat, he was there watching batsmen bat and bowlers bowl, interacting with them, discussing strategies with the coaches.

Punjab government to prioritise rehabilitation over criminalisation for drug addicts under NDPS Act
CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Government will provide rehabilitation and de-addiction for individuals caught with a non-commercial quantity of drugs, granting them immunity under Section 64(a) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Interestingly, after Kerala, Punjab ranked second among all states in the country last year for the number of cases registered under the NDPS Act. However, there has been a declining trend in the registration of such cases over the past three years. Sources have revealed that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Punjab government is not inclined to criminalise addicts caught with a non-commercial quantity of drugs by imprisoning them. Instead, the government has opted to focus on de-addiction and rehabilitation for those found with less than 2.5 grams of heroin, as defined under the NDPS Act. The government has also clearly outlined the distinction between commercial and non-commercial quantities for various illegally used drugs. Section 64(A) of the NDPS Act offers immunity from prosecution to addicts or individuals charged with an offense under Section 27 (punishment for consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances) or offenses involving a small quantity of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. This immunity is granted only if the individuals voluntarily agree to undergo treatment for de-addiction. It reads, Who voluntarily seeks to undergo medical treatment for de-addiction from a hospital or an institution maintained or recognised by the government or a local authority and undergoes such treatment shall not be liable to prosecution under section 27 or under any other section for offences involved in a small quantity of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. It further states that the said immunity from prosecution may be withdrawn if the addict does not undergo complete treatment for de-addiction. In the last 12 days the total drug peddlers arrested have touched 1,658. As per the figures with the state police about the daily arrests point towards that the large number of accused arrested with non-commercial quantities. Special DGP (Law and Order), Punjab, Arpit Shukla, stated that Enforcement, De-addiction, and Prevention (EDP) are the main components of the government's plan to eradicate the drug menace from the state. The government wants to treat the addicts as patients, not as criminals. We will use section 64-A to de-addict those who are not peddlers and have been caught with small quantities to bring those youth back on track by treating them. As part of de-addiction, more than one dozen persons have been convinced till now to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment. Meanwhile, as per the data shared by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in Parliament on Wednesday, some 9,025 cases were registered last year under the NDPS Act in Punjab down from 11,564 in 2023 and 12,423 in 2022. In 2022 and 2023, Punjab had the third highest number of NDPS cases in the country, with Maharashtra having a higher figure during these two years.

In response to questions from Members of Parliament Shambhu Sharan Patel and Baburam Nishad, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, stated that a four-tier Narco-Coordination Centre (NCORD) mechanism has been established to ensure better coordination between central and state law enforcement agencies, as well as other stakeholders.

The survivor is scheduled to appear before the medical board on March 12, where the Superintendent has been instructed to facilitate all required procedures. In addition, the State Legal Services Authority has been directed to provide financial assistance to the victim. If the fetus is found to be alive post-abortion, the state government will bear the cost of its upbringing. In case of fetal demise, a DNA sample will be preserved for probe.

Rajasthan High Court allows abortion for 13-year-old rape victim who is seven-months pregnant
JAIPUR: In a major directive, the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court has granted permission for a 13-year-old rape victim to undergo an abortion at seven months of pregnancy. Justice Sudesh Bansal, in his order, stated that forcing the minor to deliver would subject her to lifelong suffering, including challenges related to child maintenance and other complications. The court highlighted the potential harm to the victim's mental health if she were compelled to give birth, emphasizing that such concerns could not be ignored. Consequently, the court directed the Superintendent of Mahila Hospital, Sanganer (Jaipur), to ensure the necessary medical arrangements for the minors abortion. The victim is scheduled to appear before the medical board on March 12, where the Superintendent has been instructed to facilitate all required procedures. In addition, the State Legal Services Authority has been directed to provide financial assistance to the victim. If the fetus is found to be alive post-abortion, the state government will bear the cost of its upbringing. In case of fetal demise, a DNA sample will be preserved for further investigation. Medical experts have noted that in cases of delivery at seven months, approximately eight out of ten newborns survive. However, they cautioned that premature birth at this stage carries significant risks, including potential physical and mental disabilities. The victims lawyer, Sonia Shandilya, informed the court that the girl is 27 weeks and six days pregnant. She added that the victims parents also sought an abortion. Citing legal precedents, Shandilya argued that both the High Courts and the Supreme Court have previously permitted abortions even at 28 weeks of pregnancy. During the previous hearing, the court had instructed a medical board comprising three experts to examine the victim and submit a report. The report, presented on March 8, acknowledged the high risks associated with abortion at this stage but confirmed that the procedure was feasible. According to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act of 1971, pregnancies resulting from rape are considered to cause severe mental trauma to the victim, thereby justifying termination. In India, abortions are legally permitted up to 24 weeks of pregnancy without court intervention. However, beyond this period, court approval is mandatory. Under the MTP Act, minors, rape survivors, disabled women, or mentally ill individuals are allowed to terminate pregnancies up to 24 weeks. For cases exceeding this duration, a medical board's recommendation and court authorization are required. An amendment to the MTP Act in 2020 extended the permissible abortion period to a maximum of 24 weeks. This ruling underscores the judiciarys recognition of the victims rights and the psychological toll of forced pregnancy, setting a significant legal precedent in similar cases.
