Bechu Singh takes only a few minutes to catch poisonous snakes and takes such snakes in his custody, who have the ability to make good people sleep deeply with a drop of their poison.

    Forest worker Bechu Singh is called by the name of Snake Man by the officers and employees of the Forest Department. In the year 2002, Bechu Singh, a resident of Jaunpur, came to the service of the Forest Department and after some time learned the skill of taking poisonous snakes under his control in a few minutes. Apart from about 400 poisonous snakes, he has so far successfully caught other dangerous creatures, that is why due to his skill, big officers are convinced of his style of functioning and he is now being called as Snake Man.

    Government working under the pressure of liquor mafia: Randhir

    Shimla | Chief Spokesperson of BJP and MLA from Shri Nayanadevi Randhir Sharma has alleged that the government is working under the pressure of the liquor mafia, therefore the campaign against drugs is a gimmick. He alleged that the contractors were not paying the fees under the Excise Policy, which should be investigated. In a statement issued here, Randhir Sharma alleged that the contractors have taken new tenders in the name of their relatives without paying the money for the old tenders. He said that fake passes have been sent by the contractors at the time of audit at many places, when complaints are made in such cases, then the truth comes to the fore. It is clear from this that the liquor mafia is working under the protection of the government.
    Randhir Sharma said that after the month of March, liquor vends are opening at many new places in Himachal Pradesh. Apart from this, liquor contracts are being opened in panchayats without NOC. People and Mahila Mandals are strongly opposing these contracts at many places. He said that NOC is no longer required in Panchayats. Under the guise of these unfair rules, liquor contractors have started opening liquor vends and premises at various places, due to which the atmosphere of the state is deteriorating. He said that the BJP is with the government in any campaign against drugs, but this campaign has become just a gimmick.
    Randhir Sharma said that the Kiratpur-Manali four-lane has not even been inaugurated yet, but a large number of liquor vends have opened there. He said that the government should tell under which rules these contracts are open. He demanded the government to investigate all the contracts and strictly implement the excise policy. He alleged that many liquor contractors were cheating the government.

    Indians Along The Border Celebrate Eid As Pak Guns Fall Silent, Thanks To Army

    With Indian Army showing its might and forcing Pakistan’s guns falling silent on the border in Jammu and Kashmir, the villagers of Tai and Rehlan are dressed up, exchanging sweets and greetings as they gather to celebrate the festival of Eid. The area is hardly a hundred meters from the fence along the Indo-Pakistan Line of Control in the Mendhar sub-division of Poonch and has been a regular victim to Pakistan’s cross-border shelling before 2021.

    Resident Abdul recalls days of horror
    Abdul Hafeez, a resident of Tai village, recalls those days of horror when Pakistan used to pound artillery shells on their houses even during the holy festival of Eid. “We have been living in this area since our birth and we have witnessed those tragic times when Pakistan used to fire artillery shells at us regularly. They didn’t even spare us during Eid as our Eidgah is only three kilometres from the borders but now peace is prevailing on the borders post-ceasefire pact and we pray to Allah that it remains intact,” he added.

    Mohd Rasheed experiences peace on border
    78-years-old Mohd Rasheed has also seen the changing colours on the borders – from the heavy shelling in 2000 to peace that prevailed from 2003 to 2011 after Vajpayee government’s decision of ceasefire and the heavy cross-border shelling from 2011 to 2021. Rashid tells Republic World that we used to face a lot of hardships during firing as they (Pakistan) even targeted us during Eid but now the situation has improved a lot as peace has prevailed.

    Hundreds of civilians lost lives in Jammu and Kashmir

    Hakam Din, another villager of Rehlan village, says that they have seen death and destruction due to unprovoked aggression for many years but now, the Indian Army has ensured peace prevails on the border and we live our lives peacefully.

  • Maharashtra Congress Sets Up 9-member Committee To Study Impact Of Uniform Civil Code

    Maharashtra Congress Sets Up 9-member Committee To Study Impact Of Uniform Civil Code

    The Maharashtra Congress on Thursday set up a committee under former Mumbai University vice chancellor Balchandra Mungekar to study the impact of the proposed Uniform Civil Code.

    The nine-member committee set up by state unit chief Nana Patole will also include journalist and Rajya Sabha member Kumar Ketkar, senior leaders Vasant Purke, Hussain Dalwai, Anees Ahmed, Kishori Gajbhiye, Amarjit Manhas, Janet D’Souza and Ravi Jadhav.

    The Maharashtra Congress, in a statement, said Muslim, Christian and Parsi communities have their own personal laws while Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists are governed by Hindu Civil Law.

    “The UCC is not connected to any religion and it will cover all citizens. South India, eastern India and tribal areas have their own rules related to marriage and inheritance. Minorities consider Uniform Civil Code as interference in their religious matters. Different religious communities have their own views on the UCC,” the statement added.

    It said the committee under former MP Mungekar will study the impact of the proposed law on society and submit its report to Patole.

    The UCC took centre stage of the political debate in the country after Prime Minister Narendra Modi pushed for its implementation while speaking in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday. The PM sought to know how one country could have two systems and said even the Supreme Court has advocated for a UCC.

  • Delhi HC To Hear Plea Challenging UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Exam On July 3

    Delhi HC To Hear Plea Challenging UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Exam On July 3

    The Delhi High Court has said it will hear on July 3 a plea challenging the preliminary examination of Civil Services Examination, 2023 conducted by the UPSC.

    The petition, filed by 17 civil services aspirants, seeking quashing of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Services Preliminary Examination, 2023, and for re-conducting the preliminary test and general studies paper 1 and 2 came up for hearing before a vacation bench of justice Manoj Jain.

    The plea also challenged the press note issued by the UPSC on June 12 declaring the results of the preliminary examination, and sought direction to the commission to publish the answer key with immediate effect.

    The judge ordered listing of the petition on July 3.

    During the hearing, advocate Naresh Kaushik, appearing for the UPSC, raised a preliminary objection on the maintainability of the petition, saying the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) was the competent forum for hearing the matter.

    The petition, filed through advocate Rajeev Kumar Dubey, said the petitioners were aggrieved by the “arbitrariness” of the commission in conducting the entire recruitment cycle.

    “Not providing to the students the answer key of an exam they have appeared for, not considering the representations of the candidates despite a particular time window being provided for the same, and asking questions, which are disproportionately vague, testing candidates’ ability to answer only on the basis of guesswork, is not only arbitrary but defies all principles of fairness, logic and rationality,” it said.

    It said when a competitive exam is conducted, the answer key to the multiple choice questions is prepared in advance so it can be released after the exam has been conducted, thereby giving the candidates a fair idea of evaluation.

    However, in a recent press note of June 12, it mentioned that “candidates are also informed that marks, cut off marks and answer keys of CS(P) Examination, 2023 will be uploaded on the Commission’s website i.e. https://upsc.gov.in only after the entire process of the Civil Services Examination 2023 is over, that is, after the declaration of final result”.

    The petition said almost all state Public Service Commissions and other authorities like the High Court of Delhi in respect of Delhi Judicial Service Examination, IITs, NLUs and IIMs release the provisional answer key within a week of the conduct of an examination and invite objections from the candidates. They then release the final answer key by modifying their provisional answer key based on the objections, it added.
