Promotion of BJP MLA’s Daughter Put on Hold; Contradictory Disability Certificates Raise Questions

Jaipur: In a significant development, the promotion of Kanchan Chauhan—daughter of BJP MLA Shankar Singh Rawat—has been withheld after discrepancies surfaced in her disability-related medical documents.

Mismatch in Medical Certificates Blocks Promotion According to departmental sources, the promotion was stalled due to contradictory information in Chauhan’s medical certificates. One document reportedly categorizes her as 40% disabled, while another places her disability at 30%. The conflicting assessments prompted the authorities to halt her elevation until further verification is completed. Officials confirme...

Bhopal Gas Tragedy Aftermath: Toxic Ash Emerges as New Crisis; Disposal Stuck Despite Court Orders, Compared to a ‘Nuclear Bomb’

Bhopal: Forty-one years after the Bhopal gas disaster, a fresh environmental crisis has erupted.

The 55-day incineration process produced a staggering 899 metric tonnes of ash and residue — nearly three times the weight of the original waste. Months later, the ash remains stored insid...
