खनन से समृद्ध सोनभद्र…678 करोड़ की कमाई के साथ बना यूपी का नंबर 1 जिला.

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश का सोनभद्र जिला एक बार फिर अपनी पहचान कायम कर चुका है। खनिज संपदा से भरपूर इस जिले ने खनन के दम पर राज्य की अर्थव्यवस्था में सबसे बड़ा योगदान देकर एक नया कीर्तिमान बनाया है. ताजा आंकड़ों के मुताबिक सोनभद्र ने 678 करोड़ 28 लाख रुपये का राजस्व अर्जित कर पूरे प्रदेश में पहला स्थान हासिल किया है. यह उपलब्धि न केवल जिले की आर्थिक मजबूती को दर्शाती है बल्कि प्रशासन की सख्त निगरानी और पारदर्शी व्यवस्था का भी परिणाम है।

सख्त निगरानी और पारदर्शिता का प्रभाव
प्रदेश में खनिज एवं खनिज से राजस्व लगातार बढ़ रहा है। लेकिन सोनभद्र ने जिस स्तर पर प्रदर्शन किया है वह अन्य जिलों से काफी आगे है। यहां खनन गतिविधियों पर कड़ी नजर रखी जा रही है और अवैध खनन के खिलाफ सख्त कार्रवाई की जा रही है. इसी कारण राजस्व में लगातार बढ़ोतरी हो रही है और जिला शीर्ष पर बना हुआ है.

अन्य जिलों को काफी पीछे छोड़ दिया
अन्य जिलों की बात करें तो महोबा 394.9 करोड़ रुपये के साथ दूसरे स्थान पर रहा, जबकि हमीरपुर 389.61 करोड़ रुपये के साथ तीसरे स्थान पर रहा। इसके अलावा सहारनपुर ने 227.58 करोड़ रुपये, जालौन ने 225.62 करोड़ रुपये और झांसी ने 215.83 करोड़ रुपये का राजस्व अर्जित किया. बांदा 209.98 करोड़ रुपये और प्रयागराज 136.9 करोड़ रुपये के साथ पीछे रहे। इन आंकड़ों से साफ है कि सोनभद्र का प्रदर्शन सबसे मजबूत रहा है.

कुछ जिले काफी पीछे रह गये
इस सूची में कुछ जिले काफी पीछे रह गये हैं. फ़तेहपुर ने केवल 40.31 करोड़ रुपये का राजस्व अर्जित किया, जबकि कौशांबी ने केवल 24.41 करोड़ रुपये एकत्र किए। यह अंतर दर्शाता है कि खनन संसाधनों और उनकी निगरानी में बड़ा अंतर है, जिसका सीधा असर राजस्व पर पड़ता है.

रोजाना समीक्षा की जा रही है, आंकड़ा और बढ़ेगा
खनन विभाग के मुताबिक राजस्व की हर दिन समीक्षा की जा रही है और निगरानी व्यवस्था को और मजबूत किया गया है. जानकारों का मानना ​​है कि अगर ऐसी ही सख्ती और पारदर्शिता जारी रही तो सोनभद्र भविष्य में और भी बड़े रिकॉर्ड बना सकता है. कुल मिलाकर सोनभद्र ने खनन के जरिए न सिर्फ अपनी आर्थिक ताकत साबित की है बल्कि पूरे प्रदेश के लिए एक मिसाल बन गया है।

‘Loves to fight’: Shocking video of DHS chief Markwayne Mullin’s past draws sharp reaction, netizens call him ‘incompetent’ world News

'Loves to fight': Shocking video of DHS chief Markwayne Mullin's past draws sharp reaction, netizens call him 'incompetent'

Republican Senator Markway Mullin of Oklahoma was recently sworn in as the new secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, replacing Kristi Noem, who was fired this month after a series of controversies. However, it seems the new DHS leader comes with her own villain arc following a series of viral and widely circulated social media posts pointing to her physically abusive past.

‘I can beat them…’: Discipline or abuse?

The most significant outrage stemmed from a video of Mullin speaking at a “City Elders” event hosted by the church on October 6, 2023. In his address, he talked about disciplining children and said that he was brought up with the “fear of the belt”. He said, “The discipline was appropriate, not excessive…so I learned respect from discipline.” He also revealed how he disciplined his twin daughters by scolding them, which further deepened the controversy. He said, “I can slap them and I’m still upset and they’ll come over two minutes later and crawl into my lap and just hug me. I have to learn to forgive more.” Then, imitating his daughter Lara, he said, “She’s like, ‘No, Daddy. No, Daddy, no, Daddy, no. I’m sorry, Daddy. I’m sorry, Daddy.’ …She couldn’t even muster the courage to bend in front of me so that I could press her buttocks.” He then mentioned his son Andrew and how he had the hardest time beating him because he was “so hard on himself” and had “big crocodile tears coming out of his eyes.”Many netizens called out Mullin for using spanking to discipline her children, while others were angry at her terminology to explain the situation. “Is it just me or does her description sound sexual (“break her butt”),” one user wrote on X. “Does Trump deliberately choose the most unqualified people for his administration?”. asked another. Even Democrats jumped on the trolling train, writing, “He’s bragging about killing his daughter. This is who is now running ICE for Trump.”

‘I loved to fight…’: A history of physical confrontation

Not just one, in another clip from an event he attended with his wife Christy Mullin mma fighter Told viewers how he physically threatened his wife’s boyfriend at school.Mullin said that he did not date because he was focused on getting a scholarship but he knew since the 8th grade that he was going to marry Christy. Thus, when she had boyfriends, he would hang out with the couple and threaten to leave them. He said, “I never drink but I like to fight.” He added, “I just told them that if they didn’t do it, I would put them in the car myself.”This is not the first time Mullin’s propensity for physical altercations and short-tempered personality has surfaced in public. That same year, he challenged Sean O’Brien, the president of International Brotherhood of Teamsters Physical fight during Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing. He told O’Brien, “You want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, we can end it right here.” When Mullin was asked in an interview whether he would have followed through, he said, “I would have jumped on the platform at that point.”

‘I like the David Method…’

During Kyle Thompson’s ‘Undaunted.Life: A Man’s Podcast’ in November 2023, Mullin was questioned about whether Republican senators should engage in such fights and he defended his actions by mentioning that there was a time in history when men used to duel and that was the way to resolve their differences. He said that if people expect him to ignore O’Brien’s comments, he is not a good Christian. He said, “I try to be a good Christian, and I know people say you have to turn the other cheek and I like the David Method. I wouldn’t start it, but I would do everything I can to finish it.” “Maybe I’ll lose, who knows, but I guarantee you, you’ll know you were in a fight.”Recently on March 18, 2026, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, rand paul Confronted Mullin during nomination hearing. They questioned Mullin over his comments on the injuries he sustained in the November 2017 attack, when he was attacked by his neighbors and suffered six broken ribs. Paul played clips of Mullin’s past comments and questioned whether a person with such a “temperament” is suitable to lead DHS. Mullin stood his ground and said he “understood” the attack but did not “endorse” it. Paul further asked him if he believed that political disputes could also be resolved through violence. Mullin maintained his stance that as Secretary of DHS, he is going to bring “peace of mind and security” to America. The owner of his family’s plumbing business and a cattle rancher, Mullin ran for and won election to Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District in 2011. He worked briefly as a professional mixed martial arts fighter and won three professional bouts between 2006 and 2007. While Noem was controversially nicknamed ‘ICE Barbie’ she may have come with her own campaign baggage, it looks like Trump still has his hands full with a new secretary who’s willing to exchange a vest for a pair of gloves. It remains to be seen whether this will help Trump’s campaign or hinder its success.

Injury or routine visit? Why is Mumbai Indians star Jasprit Bumrah in BCCI CoE ahead of IPL 2026?

Speculations over the fitness of India’s premier strike bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, came to an end today as details about his recent visit to the BCCI Center of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru emerged. Despite initial fears of a fresh injury just days before Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2026 opener, it has been confirmed that the fast bowler’s presence at the facility is part of a carefully calibrated workload management programme.

The visuals of Bumrah checking in at the COE instead of joining Mumbai Indians’ pre-season camp at the Wankhede Stadium had created a stir on social media. However, it has been clarified that this visit is a proactive measure rather than a reactive one.

According to ESPN Cricinfo, the BCCI medical team has prepared a specific strength and conditioning block for Bumrah in the COE. The primary objective is to ensure he remains at peak fitness for England’s high-risk white-ball tour of India in July, which includes five T20Is and three ODIs.

Importantly for Mumbai Indians fans, the 32-year-old has continued his bowling practice in Bengaluru and has not been sidelined with skill work. The report adds that he is expected to join the Hardik Pandya-led squad in the coming days, which will leave him firmly in line for Mumbai’s first home match against Kolkata Knight Riders on March 29.

The caution from the BCCI medical staff is due to Bumrah’s consistent schedule in the last quarter. He was the undisputed leader of India’s victorious 2026 T20 World Cup campaign earlier this month, where he finished as the joint-highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets. His Masterclass in the final against New Zealand in AhmedabadReturning figures of 4 for 15 remains the gold standard for T20 bowling, but such high-intensity variations require a period of scientific recovery.

Since returning from back surgery in 2025, the BCCI has taken Bumrah’s workload carefully, often removing him from non-essential duties to maintain his longevity. Their 2025-2026 schedule sees them handling a heavy workload in the home Test series against the West Indies and South Africa ahead of the month-long World Cup.

For Mumbai Indians, Bumrah is the tactical pivot around which their bowling unit revolves. Last season, despite the team’s inconsistent results, he remained a statistical anomaly, taking 18 wickets in 12 matches with an economy rate of 6.67.

With the 2026 IPL season following the high-scoring T20 World Cup in India, his ability to perform in the death overs on the batting-friendly Wankhede track is indispensable.

Bumrah’s arrival in the MI camp will provide a significant psychological boost to the team looking to regain its dominance. After being eliminated in the first playoff match last year, Mumbai Indians are looking to come out with a better performance.

Bumrah will join a good bowling unit, which also has the likes of Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar and Mitchell Santner among others.

Mosquitoes can’t stop biting you: The shocking reason scientists say you’re their favorite

Mosquitoes can't stop biting you: Surprising reason, scientists say you're their favorite

Spring marks the beginning of mosquito activity in many areas, especially in the United States. For decades, researchers have studied why some people are more at risk for mosquito bites than others. A recent study published in ScienceAdvance provides detailed information about the behavior of one of the most common species, Aedes aegypti. The research examined how these mosquitoes use environmental cues such as visual contrast and carbon dioxide to locate hosts. Understanding these mechanisms is essential to developing more effective control methods. The study also provides data on the specific patterns adopted by mosquitoes when approaching potential hosts.

How mosquitoes use visual and chemical cues to find humans

According to the study published in scienceadvanceTopic ‘Predicting Mosquitoes’ Flight Behavior Using Bayesian Dynamical System Learning,’ describes how mosquitoes use a combination of sensory inputs to identify targets. Visual contrast is a primary factor. Experiments have shown that darker surfaces are more easily detected than lighter surfaces. However, visual information alone is not enough to continuously attract mosquitoes. Chemical signals, especially carbon dioxide emitted by humans, are also important. Carbon dioxide acts as a long-range signal, guiding mosquitoes toward potential hosts. When paired with high-contrast visuals, the attraction is quite strong. on researchers Georgia Institute of Technology Three controlled experiments were conducted in a special room. The chamber contained hundreds of mosquitoes and was monitored using 3D infrared cameras to track flight trajectories. Early tests involved simple objects: black and white spheres. Observations indicated that mosquitoes showed minimal association with single-colored spheres unless a chemical cue was present. The addition of carbon dioxide resulted in a measurable increase in targeting behavior. In particular, the combination of black objects with carbon dioxide produced the highest approach frequency.

How mosquitoes target humans without following each other

To confirm the interplay of visual and chemical signals, one of the researchers, Christopher Zuo, participated as a human subject. She wore the outfits in three variations: all black, all white, and a split black and white design. Patterns of mosquito swarming were recorded around his body. The analysis showed that most of the activity was concentrated around the head and shoulder regions, consistent with areas with high carbon dioxide emissions and heat production. The results reinforced the conclusion that mosquitoes respond to independent sensory signals rather than following each other. The perception of individual insects is based on direct recognition of signals, not on collective behavior.Data analysis conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicates that mosquitoes do not coordinate movement when approaching a host. Each insect independently detects and reacts to visual contrasts and chemical emissions. This rule-based behavior creates the appearance of group coordination without actual interaction. The study compared the movements of mosquitoes with simple algorithmic patterns that show predicted trajectories based on sensory input.

Practical strategies to prevent mosquito bites and reduce risk

  • Wear light clothing – Dark colors attract mosquitoes more, so light clothing can make you less visible to them.
  • Limiting chemical attractants – Reducing strong odors like perfume, lotion or sweat can reduce attraction.
  • Using sensory-disruptive devices or traps – traps that intermittently emit carbon dioxide or light can attract mosquitoes more effectively than those without constant contact.
  • Minimizing prolonged outdoor exposure in areas with high mosquito activity, especially during peak times such as evening and morning.

ऋषिकेश एम्स: युवाओं की बदलती जीवनशैली, असंतुलित आहार और शारीरिक गतिविधि की कमी के कारण कोलन कैंसर भी बढ़ रहा है

बदलती जीवनशैली, असंतुलित आहार और शारीरिक गतिविधियों की कमी के कारण युवाओं में कोलन कैंसर के मामले बढ़ रहे हैं। आमतौर पर कोलन कैंसर 60 साल की उम्र के बाद होता है। बच्चों में भी कुछ मामले सामने आए हैं.

मंगलवार को एम्स मेडिकल ऑन्कोलॉजी विभाग की पहल पर ओपीडी परिसर में कोलन कैंसर जागरूकता माह के तहत एक विशेष जागरूकता कार्यक्रम का उद्घाटन निदेशक प्रोफेसर (डॉ.) मीनू सिंह ने किया. इस दौरान विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सकों ने मरीजों व उनके परिजनों को कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर के कारण, लक्षण, बचाव व उपचार के बारे में विस्तार से जानकारी दी.

कोलन कैंसर के 150 से अधिक मामले सामने आए


कैंसर मेडिसिन विभाग के डॉ. अमित सहरावत ने कहा कि कोलोरेक्टल कैंसर भारत में छठे सबसे आम कैंसर मामलों में से एक है। उन्होंने कहा कि फास्ट फूड, उच्च वसायुक्त आहार, लाल मांस, शराब और धूम्रपान जैसे कारक कोलन कैंसर के खतरे को बढ़ाते हैं। इसके अलावा आनुवंशिक कारक, मोटापा, तनाव और शारीरिक निष्क्रियता भी इस बीमारी को बढ़ावा देते हैं।

डॉ. सहरावत ने बताया कि पिछले साल कैंसर ओपीडी में कोलन कैंसर के 150 से ज्यादा मामले आए थे। जिसमें बड़ी संख्या में 40 साल के आसपास के युवा भी शामिल थे. डॉ. सहरावत ने कहा कि कोलन कैंसर से बचने के लिए नियमित व्यायाम, संतुलित आहार, अधिक फल और सब्जियों का सेवन और शराब और तंबाकू से दूरी बनाकर रखनी चाहिए। उन्होंने बताया कि जिन लोगों के परिवार में पहले कभी कोलन कैंसर रहा हो, उन्हें नियमित रूप से स्क्रीनिंग टेस्ट कराते रहना चाहिए।
