CM Dhami flags off 'Drugs Free Uttarakhand' bike rally in Dehradun

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami flagged off the &lsquo;Drugs Free Uttarakhand&rsquo; bike rally and led a crackdown against illegal madrasas in Dehradun, ensuring strict enforcement of law and order.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday flagged off the 'Drugs Free Uttarakhand' bike rally, organized by the Adarsh Industrial Autonomy Cooperative Society Doiwala, Dehradun.&nbsp;
Adarsh Sanstha President Asha Kothari highlighted the organization's continuous efforts in social and creative fields, noting that under the Chief Minister's leadership, the campaign for a drug-free Uttarakhand is being conducted across the state. As part of the event, CM Dhami also released the song album Devbhoomi Ma Auli Bahar at his residence.
The album features vocals by Vijendra Singh Bartwal and Uttam Singh Bhandari, with lyrics by Satyapal Singh Bhandari and music composed by Shailendra Shailu and Dilip Anjwal. The album's acting performances are by Uttam Singh Bhandari and Harish Kothari, while Uttam Singh Bhandari also serves as the producer.
Earlier in the day, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Central Command, Lieutenant General Anindya Sengupta, met with CM Dhami at the Secretariat to discuss various contemporary issues in detail.
Meanwhile, under the Chief Minister&rsquo;s leadership, the administration has intensified its crackdown on illegal encroachments, leading to the sealing of over 43 unauthorized madrasas in Dehradun, as stated in a press release from the Uttarakhand CMO.&nbsp;
CM Dhami has previously emphasized that any attempts to alter the state's culture, traditions, or geographical integrity will not be tolerated. He has granted the administration full authority to take stringent action against those engaging in illegal activities under the guise of religion.
This decisive approach has empowered the administration, directly countering efforts to create demographic imbalances in Uttarakhand. In response, the Dehradun administration has undertaken a large-scale operation, sealing 31 illegal madrasas in Vikasnagar, 9 in Sadar, and 3 in Doiwala.&nbsp;
Intelligence reports indicate an abnormal increase in the Muslim population in the Pachhadun region, raising concerns about potential demographic shifts. Recognizing the risks, the Dhami government has taken firm steps, demolishing illegal encroachments and sending a clear message that unlawful activities will not be permitted in Uttarakhand.

With the ongoing anti-drug campaign &lsquo;Yudh Nashian Virudh&rsquo;&mdash;launched under the directives of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann&mdash;making a significant impact, intelligence reports indicate that the campaign's success has unsettled Pakistan&rsquo;s ISI.&nbsp;
In response, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab, Gaurav Yadav, reaffirmed on Monday that Punjab Police will not allow any forces to disrupt the state's hard-earned peace and stability.
&ldquo;Punjab Police will not allow Pak-ISI to destabilise the border state and will ensure exemplary punishment to anyone trying to disturb the peace and harmony of the state,&rdquo; said the DGP, citing the recent neutralisation of the key accused in the Thakur Dwara Mandir attack in Amritsar during a retaliatory police operation.
Addressing the media after a high-level meeting with senior officials&mdash;including Special DGPs, Additional Director Generals of Police (ADGPs), and Inspector Generals of Police (IGPs)&mdash;DGP Yadav highlighted that the decisive crackdown on drugs has forced traffickers to retreat. Many drug couriers are now hesitant to collect consignments dropped by Pakistan-based handlers, leading to a noticeable decline in heroin supply across the border.
&ldquo;The impact of &lsquo;Yudh Nashian Virudh&rsquo; is undeniable. Our intelligence confirms that drug couriers are now hesitant to collect heroin packets dropped by Pakistani smugglers, signalling a major disruption in the supply chain,&rdquo; he stated.
DGP Yadav further elaborated that the campaign strategically targets street-level drug peddlers and smugglers, while ensuring that victims of drug addiction receive necessary treatment at de-addiction centres rather than facing harassment. Senior police officials&mdash;ranging from Special DGPs to DIGs&mdash;are overseeing these operations, ensuring strict action is taken across all districts.
He also praised the cabinet sub-committee's efforts in coordinating various departments to combat the drug menace. Notably, the Punjab government has formed a five-member Cabinet Sub-Committee, led by Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, to monitor and guide the &lsquo;Yudh Nashian Virudh&rsquo; campaign.
To further strengthen the initiative, DGP Yadav announced the launch of a district-level mapping program to assess the prevalence of different drugs across regions. This data-driven approach will help formulate targeted action plans to effectively combat drug abuse.
Additionally, all field officers&mdash;from Commissioners of Police (CPs) and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) to Station House Officers (SHOs)&mdash;are being assigned quantifiable targets to ensure a measurable and results-driven approach to the anti-drug campaign.
Providing an update on the campaign&rsquo;s progress, DGP Yadav revealed that in just 17 days since March 1, 2025, Punjab Police has arrested 2,575 drug smugglers and registered 1,651 first information reports (FIRs). The police have seized 95 kg of heroin, 52 kg of opium, 1,129 kg of poppy husk, 13.79 kg of ganja, 7.25 lakh intoxicant tablets/pills/injections, 1 kg of ICE, 1.37 kg of cocaine, and ₹64 lakh in drug money.
He also highlighted the growing success of the newly launched Safe Punjab Anti-Drug Helpline &lsquo;9779100200&rsquo;, which enables citizens to report drug traffickers anonymously. The helpline has seen a significant increase in public participation in recent days.
Expressing gratitude to the people of Punjab for their support in making this campaign successful, DGP Yadav emphasized that public cooperation is essential for achieving long-term success. He noted that Punjab Police has been engaging communities through meetings with local residents and village defense committees to raise awareness and strengthen vigilance.
In addition, he mentioned that initiatives such as YUVA Saanjh and various sports programs are being reinforced to positively channelize the energy of Punjab&rsquo;s youth, steering them away from drugs and towards constructive activities.

In a move to enhance policing efficiency and accountability, Punjab Police has set a two-year tenure limit for MHCs at any police station or unit, ensuring regular transfers for improved administration.

Punjab Police fixes two-year tenure limit for MHCs to enhance efficiency and accountability

In a move to enhance policing efficiency and accountability, Punjab Police has set a two-year tenure limit for MHCs at any police station or unit, ensuring regular transfers for improved administration.

In a move to enhance policing efficiency and accountability, Punjab Police has introduced a tenure limit for MHCs (Munshis), restricting their service at any single police station or unit to a maximum of two years.&nbsp;
This decision aligns with the directives of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann to streamline police administration.
Issuing the directive on Monday, Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab, Gaurav Yadav, stated, &ldquo;In order to ensure accountability, improve policing efficiency and enhance professional development across the force, it is hereby ordered that the tenure of MHCs assigned to a specific police station or unit shall not exceed a period of two years at one location.&rdquo;
The order further mandates that once the two-year tenure is completed, the officer must be transferred to a different station or unit. Immediate implementation and strict compliance with this directive have been emphasized, with any violation subject to disciplinary action.
DGP Gaurav Yadav highlighted that this measure is purely administrative and aimed at fostering a more dynamic and responsive policing system.

Punjab’s industrial sector sees major growth as business leaders applaud Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s proactive policies, industrial support, and MSME-friendly initiatives.

Industrialists hail Punjab CM for taking path-breaking initiatives to boost economic growth

Punjab&rsquo;s industrial sector sees major growth as business leaders applaud Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann&rsquo;s proactive policies, industrial support, and MSME-friendly initiatives.

Captains of Industry lauded Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday for implementing several industry-friendly policies aimed at accelerating industrial growth in the state.
President of the Chamber of Commercial and Industrial Undertakings (CCU), Upkar Singh Ahuja, praised the Chief Minister and the Punjab government for introducing groundbreaking initiatives to foster industrial development. He highlighted that every concern raised by the industry is promptly addressed by the government, calling it an unprecedented approach. "The officers come to the doorsteps of industrialists to resolve their issues, which has never happened before," he remarked.
Amit Thapar from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Punjab acknowledged the state government&rsquo;s proactive stance in addressing industrial challenges. He noted that, for the first time in Punjab&rsquo;s history, the entire government machinery, including senior ministers, is easily accessible. "This pace of industrial development is expected to continue, as the state&rsquo;s industrial policy is acting as a catalyst," he said.
Chairman of CII Punjab, Amit Jain, credited the Chief Minister&rsquo;s leadership for introducing progressive and industry-friendly decisions. Expressing gratitude to the Punjab government for its innovative policies, he emphasized the significant boost these measures have provided to industrial development. He assured full support from the industry in making Punjab a leading state in industrial progress.
Rahul Ahuja, Convener of the Apex Chamber of Industry, also commended the Chief Minister for implementing industry-friendly reforms. He pointed out that transformative changes in health and education sectors have positively impacted citizens while resolving long-standing industrial concerns. "For the first time, the demands of industrialists are being met by the government," he stated.
Neeraj Satija, Convener of CII, echoed similar sentiments, stating that industrialists are highly satisfied with the government's key decisions supporting the sector. He highlighted the benefits businesses have gained from the pro-industry policies of the Punjab government and appreciated the introduction of several progressive policies aimed at strengthening industrial units.
Pankaj Sharma, President of Industry and Trade, acknowledged the growth and prosperity seen in Punjab&rsquo;s industrial sector since the new government took charge. He credited the state government for extending strong support to the MSME sector, allowing it to flourish. "Many long-pending issues of the industry have been resolved by the government, which is highly commendable," he noted.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann assures industrialists of full government support, highlighting the end of past harassment, direct public engagement in policymaking, and a focus on economic and industrial growth in the state.

Punjab government acting as facilitators of industry: CM to captains of industry

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann assures industrialists of full government support, highlighting the end of past harassment, direct public engagement in policymaking, and a focus on economic and industrial growth in the state.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday reaffirmed that the era of industrial harassment is over, with the state government now acting as a facilitator to boost the sector.
Speaking at the Sanatkaar Milni event, where he interacted with business leaders, Mann&mdash;accompanied by AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal&mdash;highlighted the government's commitment to promoting and encouraging industries. He emphasized that unlike previous administrations, which burdened industrialists, his government has taken proactive steps to support business growth. "Due to the untiring efforts of the state government, Punjab has today emerged as a frontrunner in industrial development," he said.
Mann credited Kejriwal for bringing key issues like health, education, and employment to the forefront, compelling traditional political parties to shift their focus. "AAP is working on a mission, whereas past regimes functioned on commission, which was completely unwarranted," he remarked. Stressing the importance of democratic governance, he reiterated that his government prioritizes the people's voice in policymaking.
He pointed out that previous administrations never engaged in such open interactions, preferring one-way communication. However, under the current government, direct engagement between the leadership and the public is shaping policies for Punjab&rsquo;s progress. "This is unprecedented&mdash;people now have the power to make decisions in the state," Mann asserted.
Recalling his long-standing association with Ludhiana, which began in the early 1990s during his early career as an artist, Mann described the city as Punjab&rsquo;s economic capital. He pledged to accelerate Ludhiana&rsquo;s development, calling it his karam bhoomi (land of duty).
Mann reiterated his government&rsquo;s commitment to every section of society, including industry and agriculture. He emphasized the importance of value addition to agricultural produce and called for a stronger synergy between the agricultural and industrial sectors to drive Punjab&rsquo;s economic growth.
Criticizing Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu, Mann accused him of failing to address Ludhiana&rsquo;s industrial concerns despite hailing from the city. He noted that local industrialists now seek state government intervention for railway-related issues due to their lack of confidence in Bittu&rsquo;s leadership. "This reflects the faith and trust people have in the AAP government," Mann remarked.
He also took a dig at former political leaders, stating that those who once lived in palatial homes and dominated state politics have now been ousted. "The state has entered a new era where once-invincible figures have been shown the door by the people," he said, adding that these leaders never prioritized the welfare of the common man.
Mann claimed that traditional parties resent him for rising from a common background and working tirelessly for the people. "They always believed they had a divine right to rule Punjab, which is why they cannot accept that a common man is now running the state efficiently," he said. He further added that despite their past tactics of misleading the public, people are no longer influenced by their propaganda.
Responding to Congress leaders' claims that some AAP MLAs were in contact with them and could switch sides, Mann dismissed the statements as baseless attempts to gain media attention. "Instead of daydreaming about defections, Congress should focus on keeping its own ranks intact," he quipped, asserting that these politicians had lost touch with both their cadre and the public.

S. Jaishankar calls for a 'strong and fair' UN at the Raisina Dialogue, advocating for global order and critiquing historical inconsistencies.

Attacker, victim put on par: Jaishankar on Kashmir

Minister Jaishankar's address at the Raisina Dialogue highlights necessity for a strong UN, critiquing historical rule inconsistencies and the Kashmir issue.

S. Jaishankar emphasized a 'strong and fair' UN at Raisina Dialogue, critiquing international rule inconsistencies and the UN's role in Kashmir.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday stressed the importance of having an international order just like a domestic order.
He slammed the United Nations for making the Kashmir invasion a dispute and turning the attacker and victim at par and called for having a "strong and fair" UN. In his remarks at the Session on 'Thrones and Thorns: Defending the Integrity of Nations' at Raisina Dialogue on Tuesday, Jaishankar called the occupation of some parts of Kashmir by Pakistan "the longest standing illegal occupation" of territory by another country after the Second World War.
When asked about his earlier remarks, where he said, "If you don't have an order, then you are looking at a very anarchic world', Jaishankar responded, "Look, I think we do need an international order just like we need a domestic order.
Just like you need a society in a country, you need an international version of that and its not just big countries who will benefit if there is no order.
I would argue that any country which would take risks, which would have an extreme position, which would test the system will actually use the disorder to its advantage. I mean we have seen it in our own neighbourhood. You don't have to be a big country to be a risky country. I have smaller neighbours who have done a pretty good job.
So, first of all, we should all understand the importance of an order." "Now, the old order, it was an order, it was a product of its times.
But, why I felt its virtuals were exaggerated was I think the rule maker and rule taker had somewhat different perspective because I also said in the same interview that if you are at the receiving end of those rules or the application of those rules, we had issues and let me give you two or three practical examples.
You know, if you capriciously, you know, if it suits your interests, somebody is good, not good, well, I'll make up my mind how they're going to do and you apply that order to the same country on the same issues differently," he added.
He said that the Taliban was welcomed in the Doha process and Oslo. He stressed that when it suits to deal with the Taliban, it is okay and when it is not, it is called extremist.
"Take Afghanistan, so, the same Afghanistan, the same Taliban which was an outlier was welcomed in the Doha process, was welcomed in Oslo, apparently, at that time people were okay with it.
Today again we going back saying, Taliban is doing all these not so good things. Now, if they were doing all of that. what was discussed in Oslo and Doha. You know you had a British general who described them at that time as they are country boys with their own honour code.
Now, so when it suits you to deal with the Taliban, they are okay. When it is not, they are not okay. You are an extremist today, you wear a suit and tie, you are okay.
You know, I think I have a problem with that all," Jaishankar said. The EAM termed sovereignty and territorial integrity the "bedrock of global rules."
He also spoke on political interference, where he mentioned that when the West goes into other nations, it is "apparently in the perseverance of democratic freedoms." However, he noted that when other nations come into the West, it appears to have a "very malign intention."
Jaishankar said, "Let's give you a second example. We all speak of sovereignty and territorial integrity. All of us agree. It's a vital principle. It's a bedrock of global rules. After the Second World War, the longest standing illegal, I would say presence, occupation of a territory by another country pertains to India, what we saw in Kashmir. Now we went to the UN, what was an invasion was made into a dispute. So the attacker and the victim were put on par. Who were the culpable parties? UK, Canada, Belgium, Australia, USA. So, pardon me, I have some question marks on that one. Now, I can give you many more. We speak today of political interference. When the West goes out into other countries, it's apparently in perseverance of democratic freedoms. When other countries come into the West, it seems to have a very malign intention."
Calling for a strong and fair UN, EAM Jaishankar said, "So I think we need to have an order, there must be fairness. agree with you, Dominique, we need a strong UN, but a strong UN requires a fair UN.
A strong global order must have some basic consistency of standards. We have military crews to our east in Myanmar. They are no-no.
We have them even more regularly to the west. You know where? They seem to be okay. I think it's important to audit the working of the world for the last eight decades and be honest about it and to understand today that the balances, the share holdings in the world have changed. We need a different conversation. We need frankly in that sense a different order."
Slovakia's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Juraj Blanar, former Sweden Prime Minister Carl Bildt, Liechtenstein's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Education and Sport, Dominique Hasler, Fiker Institute Founder Dubai Abulhoul participated alongside Jaishankar in this session.
The Raisina Dialogue, which is being held in Delhi from March 17-19, is hosted by the Observer Research Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs.
It is India's premier conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics committed to addressing the most challenging issues facing the global community.&nbsp;

Violent clashes erupted in Nagpur after protests over Aurangzeb’s tomb led to rumors of desecration. Curfew imposed, multiple injuries reported, and 15 arrests made as security tightens.

Nagpur violence: Curfew enforced – what we know so far

Violent clashes erupted in Nagpur after protests over Aurangzeb&rsquo;s tomb led to rumors of desecration. Curfew imposed, multiple injuries reported, and 15 arrests made as security tightens.

A curfew has been imposed in several parts of Nagpur following violent clashes that erupted on Monday night after rumors spread that a holy book was desecrated during a protest by a right-wing group demanding the removal of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb&rsquo;s tomb in Khuldabad.
<h3>Violence and Clashes Erupt</h3>
Tensions flared in the Mahal area, home to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters, after members of the Bajrang Dal staged a demonstration demanding the removal of Aurangzeb&rsquo;s tomb.
Protesters allegedly burned an effigy of Aurangzeb, which later sparked rumors on social media that a Quran had been set alight.
As news of the alleged desecration spread, violent clashes broke out across multiple neighborhoods, including Kotwali, Ganeshpeth, Tehsil, Lakadganj, Pachpaoli, Shantinagar, Sakkardara, Nandanvan, Imamwada, Yashodharanagar, and Kapilnagar.
Mobs set vehicles ablaze, vandalized properties, and pelted stones at police officers and residential buildings.
According to officials, at least six civilians and three police personnel sustained injuries in the violence. Security forces responded with tear gas shelling and baton charges to disperse the rioters.
<h3>Security Measures and Arrests</h3>
Nagpur Police Commissioner Ravinder Singhal imposed the curfew under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), restricting movement and banning gatherings in affected areas.
The curfew applies to police station jurisdictions in Kotwali, Ganeshpeth, Tehsil, Lakadganj, Pachpaoli, Shantinagar, Sakkardara, Nandanvan, Imamwada, Yashodharanagar, and Kapilnagar.
The order prohibits individuals from moving outside their residences except for medical emergencies and bans gatherings of more than five people.
So far, 15 individuals have been arrested in connection with the violence. During operations to control the situation, Deputy Commissioner of Police Niketan Kadam was seriously injured, while two other officers sustained minor wounds.
<h3>Extent of the Damage</h3>
Reports indicate that the most intense violence took place along the Chitnis Park&ndash;Shukrawari Talao road, where several four-wheelers and at least two JCBs were torched. Homes and businesses were also vandalized in Hansapuri near Old Bhandara Road, with mobs targeting clinics, shops, and personal properties.
Residents in the affected areas have demanded swift police action against those responsible for the destruction. Many have expressed fear and concern, with some families temporarily leaving their homes for safer locations.
<h3>Political Reactions and Appeals for Peace</h3>
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who also holds the home portfolio, urged citizens to remain calm and not be influenced by rumors. &ldquo;The police are working to stabilize the situation. I appeal to all residents to maintain peace and cooperate with law enforcement,&rdquo; he said.
Union Minister and Nagpur MP Nitin Gadkari echoed the call for restraint, reminding citizens of Nagpur&rsquo;s long-standing history of communal harmony.
Opposition leaders criticized the state government&rsquo;s handling of the situation. Maharashtra Congress chief Harshvardhan Sapkal accused the administration of failing to maintain law and order, while Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray described the unrest as an unprecedented breakdown of governance.
<h3>The Demand to Remove Aurangzeb&rsquo;s Tomb</h3>
The protest that triggered the violence stemmed from a demand by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to remove Aurangzeb&rsquo;s tomb, citing the Mughal emperor&rsquo;s role in executing Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and destroying Hindu temples.
Similar demonstrations had been organized in Nagpur and suburban Mumbai in recent weeks.
In response to these demands and security concerns, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar police have bolstered security around the tomb. Visitors are now required to register their details and provide identification before entering the site.
A company of the State Reserve Police Force, along with local police and Home Guards, has been deployed to safeguard the area.
<h3>Ongoing Investigation and Caution Against Rumors</h3>
As the city remains on high alert, police are continuing their investigation into the root causes of the violence and identifying those responsible for inciting unrest.
Authorities have urged citizens to refrain from spreading unverified information, warning that legal action will be taken against those found guilty of misinformation.
While the situation remains tense, officials have stated that conditions are currently under control, and further measures will be taken to prevent any resurgence of violence.
Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule is expected to visit the affected areas later in the day to assess the damage and coordinate relief efforts.
The coming days will be crucial for ensuring stability in Nagpur as authorities work to restore peace and hold perpetrators accountable for the destruction and violence that unfolded across the city.

Gwalior's ASI Dharamveer Singh found dead, raising suspicion of alcohol involvement. Previous link to millionaire ex-constable Saurabh Sharma under scrutiny. Detailed investigation underway.

Gwalior ASI's Mysterious Death Investigation

The mysterious death of Gwalior ASI Dharamveer Singh is under investigation. Suspected alcohol involvement, and ties to once millionaire ex-constable Saurabh Sharma are being examined. Awaiting post-mortem results for further clarity.

Assistant Sub-Inspector Dharamveer Singh, found dead at his home in Gwalior. Possible alcohol involvement suspected. Previous link to ex-constable, now millionaire Saurabh Sharma, under investigation.

In a tragic and enigmatic development, Dharamveer Singh, the lone Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of the Transport Department, was found dead in circumstances that remain under investigation. Singh's demise occurred at his residence in the South Avenue area on Shivpuri Link Road, falling within the jurisdiction of the Kampoo Police Station in Gwalior.
Singh, who lived alone, was discovered lifeless, prompting questions regarding the cause of his untimely passing. Preliminary suspicions suggest that excessive alcohol consumption may have contributed to his death. It is reported that Singh had a previous professional association with Saurabh Sharma, an ex-constable turned "multi-millionaire". Sharma, who now finds himself incarcerated, faces multiple charges from several investigative arms, including the Lokayukta, Enforcement Directorate, and Income Tax departments.
Singh, who once collaborated with Sharma, later resigned from his position in the transport department. Sharma&rsquo;s rapid wealth accumulation had drawn considerable scrutiny, leading to high-profile raids. Initially joining the force on compassionate grounds after his father's passing, Sharma's fall from grace has only intensified the intrigue surrounding Singh's death.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of the morning. "We are currently investigating at his residence," confirmed Rudra Pathak, the senior investigation officer and in-charge of Kampoo Police Station, during a call with IANS. Pathak mentioned that Singh&rsquo;s body had been sent for post-mortem examination and emphasized that conclusions regarding his death would follow further inquiries and autopsy results.
The link to Saurabh Sharma has spurred speculation, yet authorities have remained reserved in their statements. Officers from the Kampoo police station acted with urgency, notifying Singh's family while awaiting the post-mortem findings to shed light on the case. Although hints suggest a history of alcohol dependency, the police are withholding official declarations until medical evidence is presented. Investigations are ongoing with more details anticipated.
Originating from Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh, Dharamveer Singh was part of the Flying Squad team within the Transport Department. As he neared retirement, with only six months to go, this tragic event marked an abrupt end to his career.
According to police reports, Udit, Singh&rsquo;s driver, had served him tea the night before. However, when Udit attempted to wake Singh at 6 a.m., he was unresponsive. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Udit promptly informed neighbors and emergency services. Singh was subsequently transported to the hospital, where medical professionals confirmed his death.
The unexpected passing of Dharamveer Singh has left a community seeking answers, as authorities work meticulously to uncover the truth behind this mysterious incident.

According to police, Dhanawati Devi (30) consumed poison after the confrontation. Her family members rushed her to a local hospital, where she died later in the evening.
Sahatwar Station House Officer (SHO) Dinesh Pathak said on Monday that police had taken the body into custody and sent it for postmortem.
He said the woman took the extreme step after being reprimanded by her mother-in-law over the Holi incident.&nbsp;

Authorities enforced a curfew in Churachandpur, Manipur, following the assault on Hmar leader Richard Hmar, amid protests and tensions.

Curfew Enforced in Manipur Amid Tensions

In the wake of Hmar leader Richard Hmar's attack, curfew in Churachandpur is enforced, highlighting unrest and calls for peace amidst tribal tensions.

After a Hmar leader was attacked, a curfew was enforced in Churachandpur, Manipur, amidst protests and clashes. Authorities call for peace and dialogue.

In the aftermath of an attack on a prominent Hmar tribe leader, authorities have imposed a curfew in Manipur's Churachandpur district, predominantly inhabited by the Kuki community.
The incident has ignited significant unrest and protests among members of the Hmar tribe, according to police reports.
The unrest began after a near-collision between the vehicle of Hmar Inpui General Secretary Richard Hmar and a two-wheeler, which escalated into a roadside altercation, sources revealed.
The situation worsened when a group assaulted Richard Hmar, leader of the Hmar tribe's primary decision-making body.
A statement from Hmar Inpui reported that Hmar was ambushed by several individuals while returning home, blindfolded, and severely beaten despite revealing his identity.
The assault occurred at the VK Montessori School in Zenhang Lamka. Hmar is currently receiving medical treatment for excessive bleeding and injuries.
Hmar Inpui demanded that those responsible for the assault present themselves at their office by 10 a.m. on Monday.
With no response by the deadline, protests erupted in Churachandpur, with hundreds of Hmar tribe members taking to the streets, chanting slogans and throwing stones, as reported by local sources.
In anticipation of further escalation, local authorities enforced a curfew under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, while security forces were deployed to stabilize the situation.
Clashes, including stone-pelting, were witnessed between a combined Hmar and Kuki crowd against the Zomi tribes, according to sources in Churachandpur.
In footage from the area, a protester is seen removing and discarding a flag associated with the Zomi tribes from a mobile tower, met with cheers from onlookers below.
Concern from Thadou Students' Association
The Thadou Students' Association General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ) expressed deep concern over the mounting tensions among non-Naga tribes, specifically involving the Kuki/Kuki-Zo, Hmar, and Zomi groups in Churachandpur.&nbsp;
"We urge all involved parties to prioritize dialogue over conflict," the TSA-GHQ pleaded, encouraging government and civil society groups to foster peace underpinned by justice, fairness, and mutual respect. Thadou leaders assert their status as a distinct tribe, separate from the Kuki identity.
Appeal from Churachandpur district commissioner
District Commissioner Dharun Kumar S called for a peaceful resolution, urging community leaders to engage in constructive dialogue.
"Our district's strength lies in its diversity and unity. Violence won't bring a solution," Kumar cautioned, emphasizing the importance of calm and restraint during this critical juncture. He also warned against spreading unverified information that might exacerbate the unrest.

Mohali authorities probe hygiene violations at a fast food factory after finding a dog's head, raising significant health concerns.

Mohali Food Safety Probe After Disturbing Discovery

An unsettling find during a Mohali factory raid sparks a major investigation into food safety practices, raising critical health concerns.

Authorities in Mohali are investigating a fast food factory after finding a dog's head in a fridge, raising food safety concerns.

A large-scale investigation has been launched after a shocking discovery during a sanitation raid at a fast food factory in Mattaur. Authorities found a dog's head inside a fridge, prompting immediate concern among local residents and officials.
The unsettling find occurred during a two-day operation targeting unhygienic food production practices. The municipal team, responding to complaints from the community, raided a factory producing momos and spring rolls in a residential area. Online videos had previously revealed workers using unsanitary water and spoiled vegetables, sparking outrage.
This establishment, which has been distributing its products to Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Kalka for two years, was found to be producing over a quintal of snacks daily. Additional discoveries included frozen meat, a crusher machine, and recycled cooking oil, raising serious health concerns.
The crackdown extended into Monday, with municipal health teams inspecting local chicken shops in Mattaur. They confiscated and destroyed nearly 60 kg of odorous, frozen chicken. Samples of various food items from the raid, including momos, spring rolls, and sauces, have been sent for laboratory analysis.
The discovery of what appears to be a pug's head in a fridge has incited alarm, particularly after locals, upon viewing it, cried out "billa." Officials, however, clarified that the meat was not incorporated into the food items sold, but was allegedly consumed by the workers, who are of Nepali descent.
The head is being examined by the Veterinary Department to ascertain whether dog meat was part of the factory's products.
District Health Officer investigations at linked sites revealed multiple violations, such as the use of unsanitary ingredients and the lack of proper registration for the vendors. It is recommended that actions be taken against the factory owner and associated operators.
Dr. Sangita Jaina, Mohali Civil Surgeon, indicated that a detailed report has been prepared for the Deputy Commissioner and local law enforcement to determine necessary legal proceedings.
Assistant Food Safety Commissioner Dr. Amrit Warring confirmed police involvement, stating further decisions will hinge on the lab analysis results.
This case highlights pressing concerns about food safety standards and the urgent need for stricter regulatory measures in the region.

PM Modi sends warm wishes to Sunita Williams on her ISS mission return. Williams, extending her mission, returns with Mike Massimino, ready for March 19 splashdown.

In a heartfelt gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent well wishes to NASA astronaut Sunita Williams as she begins her journey back from the International Space Station (ISS) following an impressive nine-month mission.
The personal letter, entrusted to astronaut Mike Massimino, conveyed the unwavering pride of 1.4 billion Indians. PM Modi wrote, "Even though you are thousands of miles away, you remain close to our hearts."
Williams, along with her colleague astronaut Butch Wilmore, undocked from the ISS on March 18, 2025, aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Their return to Earth caps a mission initially slated for just eight days, but extended due to technical challenges with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
In his correspondence, PM Modi lauded Williams for her outstanding contributions to space exploration and extended an invitation for her to visit India upon her return. "India is praying for your health and success," he penned, underscoring the nation&rsquo;s deep connection with one of its distinguished daughters.
Williams has expressed profound gratitude for the Prime Minister's supportive words and India's encouragement throughout her mission.
NASA has ensured that all necessary preparations are in place for a safe re-entry, targeting a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at approximately 3:27 AM IST on March 19. The Crew Dragon spacecraft will execute a series of critical descent maneuvers, including discarding its trunk and deploying parachutes to achieve a secure landing.
This mission exemplifies not just personal triumph but also the resilience and adaptability required in overcoming unanticipated adversities in space exploration.
As Williams and Wilmore conclude their expedition, their return stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for future generations of astronauts. Recovery teams are poised to retrieve the astronauts upon splashdown and ensure their safe return to solid ground, marking the end of a noteworthy journey.
