Shocking Revelations During Interrogation During police questioning, Asif made startling disclosures. He admitted that for nearly a month, he had been using foreign mobile applications to participate in online sexual training sessions with people from 56 different countries. These sessions r...

All-Weather Road Project Raises Fresh Concerns in Uttarakhand as 60-cm-Wide Crack Appears in Totaghati Hill

: While Uttarakhand’s ambitious All-Weather Road Project has significantly improved connectivity in the Himalayan region, it is also giving rise to serious geological and safety concerns. A massive crack has developed in the Totaghati hill along the Rishikesh–Badrinath National Highway, triggering alarm among authorities, experts, and local residents. Located around 40 kilometres from Rishikesh, Totaghati has witnessed the emergence of a 60-centimetre-wide and nearly 26-metre-deep crack in the hill, approximately 100 metres above the highway. The fissure has effectively split the mountain into two parts, raising fears of potential landslides and road blockages on this crucial pilgrimage route. Hill Cutting Linked to the Damage The crack is being attributed to extensive hill cuttin...

Jharkhand PESA Rules Face Tribal Backlash, Legal Challenge Imminent

The newly approved PESA (Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas) Rules by the Jharkhand government have triggered strong opposition from tribal intellectuals, who have termed the rules unconstitutional and contrary to the spirit of the central PESA Act of 1996. The Adivasi Buddhijivi Manch has announced that it will challenge the rules in the Jharkhand High Court once they are officially notified in the gazette. Addressing the media, Victor Malto, National Convener of the Adivasi Buddhijivi Manch, stated that the state government has once again attempted to impose the conventional three-tier Panchayati Raj system in Scheduled Areas—an approach that Parliament had explicitly rejected while enacting the PESA Act in 1996.

In Bihar, Land Prices Generate More Heat Than Country Guns: Naubatpur Emerges as Hotspot as Government Prepares 400% Circle Rate Hike

While the word “katta” (country-made gun) once dominated political discourse in Bihar—echoing even in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election speeches—the real heat in the state today is over “kattha” (land measurement). With land prices soaring across urban and semi-urban Bihar, disputes and speculation over property have intensified, turning land into the state’s most combustible asset. As demand for housing rises and available land shrinks, builders and real estate intermediaries have aggressively entered the market, particularly in and around Patna. A common model involves purchasing four katthas of land and constructing multi-storey apartment complexes with 15–20 flats, generating massive profits—often at the cost of state revenue.
