इसके अलावा बैठक में करीब 16 करोड़ रुपये के अनुमानित बजट समेत 200 से अधिक प्रस्ताव सर्वसम्मति से पारित किये गये. इस दौरान 32 सीटर सिटी बस और 5 बैटरी कारों के संचालन और सालियर में नए बस अड्डे के निर्माण समेत कई बड़े प्रस्तावों को हरी झंडी दी गई.

बोर्ड बैठक में पार्षदों ने निगम की ओर से दिये गये निर्माण प्रस्तावों पर यह कहते हुए आपत्ति जतायी कि उन्हें नहीं पता कि उनके वार्ड में क्या काम हो रहा है. ऐसे में निर्माण कार्य शुरू करने से पहले स्थानीय पार्षदों से अनुमति लेने की मांग की गयी. सड़कों पर गड्ढे भरने के प्रस्ताव का विरोध जताया गया. पार्षदों ने कहा कि पिछली बार सिर्फ दो वार्डों में गड्ढे भरकर काम बंद कर दिया गया था। पार्षदों ने सड़कों के गड्ढे भरने के लिए हर वार्ड के लिए अलग टेंडर निकालने की मांग की। बैठक में यूनिपोल में भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप लगाए गए।

पार्षदों ने कहा कि यूनीपोल के एक तरफ विज्ञापन लगाने की अनुमति है, जबकि कंपनी दोनों तरफ विज्ञापन लगा रही है। इससे भी बड़ी आपत्ति यह उठाई गई कि एक कंपनी को यूनिपोल का ठेका एक करोड़ रुपये में दे दिया गया, जबकि दूसरी कंपनी को महज एक लाख रुपये में 20 यूनिपोल पर विज्ञापन लगाने की अनुमति दे दी गई। इस पर मेयर ने जांच कर कार्रवाई का आदेश दिया. पार्षद संजीव तोमर ने पनियाला रोड से पानी निकासी की मांग उठाई।

In fact, snakes are not on most people’s mind every day. But as soon as they come out, people pay attention.You might have seen one of those videos where a snake appears inside someone’s kitchen. Or a clip of people standing at a distance while a rescue worker is trying to catch someone. Even walking along the grass or along a quiet road at night can suddenly feel different when that thought comes to your mind.Not all snakes pose a serious threat to humans, and many species avoid contact when possible. However, some can be dangerous, especially in areas where human activity and wildlife overlap.Here are five snakes that are often counted among the deadliest and why they remain a cause for concern.

inland taipan

Often described as the world’s most venomous snake, it lives in remote parts of Australia, away from the most populated areas. Because of this, face-to-face encounters with humans are rare.Its poison is extremely powerful, but the chances of encountering it in everyday life are very less.

coastal taipan

This is seen as more of a real-world concern.It is found close to areas where people live or work, including farms and plantations. This increases the possibility of accidental encounters.It is known to be fast and highly alert, and can react quickly when disturbed.

Nagraj

There have been many cases of sightings of king cobras in villages or near residential areas, especially in areas close to forests. In such situations, people usually maintain distance and call trained rescue workers.When the king cobra raises its body and extends its hood, it is usually a defensive display to warn and create space, rather than an immediate attack.

banded crate

This species is mostly active at night, which can make an encounter difficult to anticipate.

For example, in low light conditions or without proper visibility, it may not be easy to identify.It is not commonly associated with aggressive behavior, but its venom is medically significant and potentially lethal to humans, making encounters more risky if it goes unnoticed.

Saw-scaled viper

This species is one of the snakes commonly found in some parts of India.

It is found in dry areas, agricultural fields and sometimes near human settlements. Such behavior increases the likelihood of accidental contact, especially during routine outdoor activities. It is also known to produce a distinct sound by rubbing its scales together, which may act as a warning signal.Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only.

People fall in love with beautiful places and engineering marvels all the time, and so did I. The Sigandur Bridge – which was inaugurated in mid-July last year and went viral on social platforms – instantly captivated me. Soon, I decided that I would cycle there to catch a glimpse of the engineering marvel across the Sharavathi river. Now, this meant a journey of 375 km from Bengaluru! My winter plan almost failed, but I managed it by the beginning of March.The 2.5 km long Sigandur Bridge, officially known as the Sharavathi Backwaters Bridge, is a landmark infrastructure project in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka. Spanning the vast backwaters of the Sharavathi river, this bridge connects Sagar to Sigandur in Shivamogga and further to Kollur in Udupi. I set out at dawn on March 5, planning to cover 250 km on the first day and the remaining 125 km the next day. After being dropped off at Tumakuru Road, on the long Bengaluru-Honnavar highway, I was the only one on my bike.Breakfast stop was at Tumkuru. As the day progressed, the sun became worse – especially around noon. Despite carrying a camelback (bag filled with water) and electrolytes, frequent refills became necessary. Beyond Gubbi, the entire BH Road reveals itself as an endless bypass stretch – no trees, no shade – just flyovers, concrete and retaining walls. I cycled through the playlist: from Rajkumar and SPB to Amitabh Bachchan, and pedaled through the heat, well slathered in sunscreen.By the time I reached Tiptur, I was exhausted. After lunch at Arasikere, it helped to take a short rest at a roadside field, before starting again. Kadur and Birur passed smoothly, but Tarikere slowed me down due to road work and chaotic traffic, wasting my precious 30 minutes. I wanted to ride as little as possible in the dark, but it was still 9.30 pm when I reached my stop for the night at Bhadravati.The next morning started early. After Shivamogga, the road changed – rows of trees provided much-needed respite. The ride under the green canopy, accompanied by light music and joyful waves of school children, became one of the most memorable parts of the trip. To enjoy the beauty of the countryside, I opted to reach Sigundur by evening instead of afternoon and slowed down my pace. Luckily for me, most of the Shivamogga-Sigandur route was downhill, the rest was downhill terrain.At the Heggodu stopover, I took a brief tour of the famous theater institute, Neenasam. After having lunch at a nearby hotel, I tried to take some rest in the cool comfort of the ATM, but its air conditioning was not working. Soon, I found myself taking a short nap under the shade of coconut trees.The last 30 km via Genasinkuni brought me to the Sigandur bridge by 5 pm. Families wandered around, taking pictures, but I was drawn to the vast expanse of the 2.5 km structure. Walking back and forth across it, glowing golden with the sweet evening sunlight, felt like a reward in itself.Nearby, the defunct launch – once used to carry devotees and vehicles to the Sigandur Chowdeshwari temple – is a reminder of how the bridge has transformed connectivity. After capturing a video of the ride, I headed towards the temple, refreshed, and completed a serene darshan.As soon as I came out, curious onlookers asked where I came from. “Bengaluru,” I replied – and that was enough to draw a smile, a selfie and a few words of appreciation from the ‘pedal traveller’.At Sagar, I negotiated transportation with a private bus operator – who charged more for the bike than my ticket. After some conversation we reached an equal position. By the time I reached Peenya the next morning, the sun was rising.

The sheriff who handed over Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk, suddenly resigns.

The sheriff who led to the arrest of Tyler Robinson in murder charlie kirk Suddenly resigned and announced his retirement. According to reports, Sheriff Nate Brooksby announced his resignation on Friday following anonymous complaints from individuals in Utah’s Washington County who were concerned about the operations of the Sheriff’s Office. His resignation, he said, put the issue of the complaint to rest as the complainant did not wish to pursue it further, leading to speculation on social media as to what might have happened. Speculation has intensified after new legal documents claimed that the bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did not match the rifle found in Tyler Robinson’s possession. Conspiracy theories that Tyler Robinson was not the real killer and was simply made the scapegoat of the situation began to flourish once again, and now they are tied to Brooksby’s resignation, because Brooksby had helped Tyler Robinson turn himself in. Who is Brooksby? How is she related to Tyler Robinson?According to his campaign website, Brooksby, a lifelong resident of Washington County, Utah, worked at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for 27 years of his career. A member of the Republican Party since the age of 18, he was elected to fill the remainder of Sheriff Corey Pulsipher’s third term in November 2021 and was sworn in the following month.After Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at the Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, Brooksby said he received a call from a retired deputy telling him he knew who killed Kirk. Robinson’s family had reached out to the retired deputy, whom they knew through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and asked him to help negotiate a peaceful surrender for Robinson.After Robinson turned himself in and was arrested, Brooksby said, “Part of the negotiation to get him to turn himself in was that we would treat it as delicate and soft as possible so that he would feel comfortable wherever he showed up in my office.”Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted, “ATF couldn’t fight Tyler Robinson’s gunshot and sheriff resigned when news broke.” “Where are all my neocons who are “overwhelmed” by the non-existent evidence against Tyler Robinson? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Hope the money was worth your soul,” Candace Owens who has been continuously claiming that Tyler Robinson was a coverup doubled down after getting shot.

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: आगरा कैंट से जुड़े 33 साल पुराने मामले में सिपाही राम अवतार को आखिरकार कोर्ट से राहत मिल गई है। उन पर महज 140 रुपये के गबन का आरोप लगा, लेकिन इस छोटे से आरोप ने उनकी ईमानदारी पर बड़ा सवाल खड़ा कर दिया. अपने ऊपर लगे इस दाग को मिटाने के लिए उन्होंने करीब तीन दशक तक कोर्ट में कानूनी लड़ाई लड़ी. अब कोर्ट ने सबूतों के अभाव में उन्हें सभी आरोपों से बरी कर दिया है.

मामला 1991 में दर्ज किया गया था
यह मामला 8 सितंबर 1991 का है, जब तत्कालीन पुलिस उपाधीक्षक व्यास देव श्रोत्रिय ने जीआरपी आगरा कैंट थाने में राम अवतार के खिलाफ मामला दर्ज कराया था। आरोप था कि उन्होंने होम गार्ड वीरेंद्र सिंह और अनिल कुमार त्यागी के साथ मिलकर झांसी पैसेंजर ट्रेन में एस्कॉर्ट ड्यूटी की गलत जानकारी देकर अधिक यात्रा भत्ता लिया था। शिकायत के मुताबिक, उन्होंने छह फरवरी 1992 को सात दिन की ड्यूटी दिखाकर 140 रुपये का भत्ता लिया।

जांच में गड़बड़ी सामने आयी
विभागीय जांच में पाया गया कि राम अवतार ने केवल तीन दिन ही ड्यूटी की थी, जबकि भत्ता सात दिन का लिया था। इसे नियम विरुद्ध मानते हुए उन पर सरकारी धन के गबन का आरोप लगाया गया. 27 मई 1993 को उनके खिलाफ भारतीय दंड संहिता की धारा 409 के तहत आरोप पत्र दायर किया गया था। इसके बाद उन्होंने कोर्ट में सरेंडर कर जमानत ले ली और मुकदमे का सामना करना शुरू कर दिया.

गवाही और दस्तावेज़ बन जाते हैं कमज़ोर कड़ी
मुकदमे के दौरान अभियोजन पक्ष ने कई गवाह पेश किए, लेकिन मुख्य गवाह से जिरह पूरी नहीं हो सकी, जिससे मामला कमजोर हो गया। इसके अलावा महत्वपूर्ण दस्तावेज जनरल डायरी भी कोर्ट में पेश नहीं हो सकी. पुलिस का कहना है कि पांच साल बाद रिकार्ड नष्ट कर दिया जाता है, जिससे जरूरी साक्ष्य नहीं मिल पाते।

कोर्ट ने संदेह का लाभ दिया
लंबे समय तक चले इस मुकदमे में पर्याप्त सबूत न होने के कारण कोर्ट ने आरोपी को संदेह का लाभ दिया. विशेष मुख्य न्यायिक मजिस्ट्रेट अचल प्रताप सिंह ने अपने फैसले में कहा कि ठोस साक्ष्य के अभाव में आरोप सिद्ध नहीं होते. इस आधार पर सिपाही राम अवतार को बरी कर दिया गया। यह मामला न केवल न्यायिक प्रक्रिया की जटिलता को दर्शाता है, बल्कि यह भी दर्शाता है कि कोई व्यक्ति अपनी ईमानदारी साबित करने के लिए किस हद तक जा सकता है।

Thousands of women and girls have sought treatment for sexual violence in nearly two years of war-torn Sudan, Doctors Without Borders said Tuesday, amid concerns that rape is being used as a weapon in the country’s brutal conflict.The aid group, known by its French acronym MSF, said at least 3,396 survivors of sexual violence were treated in its facilities between January 2024 and November 2025. Most survivors identified the attackers as armed men, while 60% of the cases recorded in South Darfur involved multiple perpetrators.In a report released on Tuesday, as cited by the AP, MSF documented accounts of women victims of gang rape in South Darfur and North Darfur, highlighting what it said is a far more widespread crisis than current figures suggest.One survivor described her ordeal in the report, saying, “They took us to an open area. The first man raped me twice, the second once, the third four times.”MSF emergency coordinator Maryam Laroussi said the reported numbers represent only a small part of the violence.Speaking at the report launch in Nairobi, Kenya, Laroussi, who was in Tawila in North Darfur in late 2025 after the fall of El Fasher, said the figures were just the “tip of the iceberg” and the scale of sexual violence was likely much higher in areas where MSF does not have access.Medical workers said survivors often faced major delays in accessing treatment. MSF midwife Gloria Andreo said teams in Tawila were seeing an average of 10 to 15 women a day, with most coming after the first 72 hours, a critical period for treating injuries and trauma, preventing infection and avoiding unwanted pregnancies.Many victims have to walk or travel by camel for days to reach care, he said.“As health care practitioners, we think of the 72 hours as the golden period because we provide so much care during that period,” Andreo said.Andreja Trajano, MSF’s sexual health specialist, said the violence also has a deep impact on entire communities.In some cases, she said, the girls were raped in front of their mothers and grandparents. Fear of sexual harassment has also prevented some people from doing daily activities like farming.“Will we continue to use the bodies of women and girls as weapons of war?” He said.MSF urged the United Nations to strengthen its presence in Sudan to better meet the needs of affected communities.In April 2023, a power struggle between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan led to open fighting in Khartoum and other parts of the country, leading to anarchy. The International Criminal Court is investigating mass killings, mass rapes and other abuses related to the conflict as possible war crimes and crimes against humanity.More than 40,000 people have been killed in the war, according to UN figures, although aid groups say the actual death toll is likely much higher.Fighting has recently intensified in the Darfur and Kordofan regions, where deadly attacks, mostly involving drones, have been reported daily. The UN human rights office said more than 500 civilians had been killed in drone strikes since mid-March this year.

फायरिंग की घटना पर सीएम धामी सख्त: कुठालगेट चौकी प्रभारी और उप आबकारी निरीक्षक निलंबित, अफसरों को सख्त चेतावनी

मुख्यमंत्री पुष्कर सिंह धामी ने कहा कि राज्य सरकार राज्य में सड़क कनेक्टिविटी को मजबूत करने के लिए लगातार प्रयास कर रही है। ऋषिकेश बाईपास परियोजना के पूरा होने पर क्षेत्र में यातायात का दबाव कम होगा और पर्यटन के साथ-साथ स्थानीय लोगों को यातायात जाम की समस्या से भी राहत मिलेगी। यह परियोजना राज्य के समग्र विकास और बेहतर कनेक्टिविटी की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है। सरकार राज्य के सुदूरवर्ती और शहरी क्षेत्रों को मजबूत सड़क नेटवर्क से जोड़ने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध है।

मंत्रालय के मुताबिक, बाइपास प्रोजेक्ट का शुरुआती अनुमान 1151.18 करोड़ रुपये था. इसे संशोधित कर 1105.79 करोड़ रुपये की मंजूरी दी गयी. परियोजना तीन साल में पूरी होगी और काम में कोई लागत या समय की अधिकता स्वीकार नहीं की जाएगी। ई-टेंडरिंग प्रक्रिया के माध्यम से निविदाएं आमंत्रित की जाएंगी। मंत्रालय ने निर्माण कार्य के लिए देहरादून के क्षेत्रीय अधिकारी को निकासी एवं व्ययन अधिकारी नामित किया है।

Lucknow Super Giants coach Justin Langer declined to comment on where captain Rishabh Pant will bat ahead of their clash against Delhi Capitals in Lucknow on Wednesday, April 1. Pant had an indifferent 2025 season, where he was bought by LSG for a huge sum of Rs. 27 crores.

This also partly had to do with how he was constantly moved around the batting order. The LSG captain batted at number 4 during four of the five matches. He did not come to bat in the high-scoring game against KKR and even batted coincidentally at No. 7 against DC in Lucknow.

He got success at No. 3 when he scored a century against RCB in the final league game. There was a report before the new season Having said that, Pant will be handed the No. 3 role ahead of Nicholas Pooran, who performed brilliantly at No. 3, scoring 466 runs in 12 matches with five fifties.

Langer admitted that it is a struggle to meet Pant, Pooran, Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh in the top four, given that they are all amazing players. But he admitted it was a good headache ahead of the new season.

Especially about Pant he said that he would not give anything to escape DC is planning well before the game.

“I’m not telling you. Well, the truth is I’m not going to sit here and tell you where Rishabh Pant is going to bat tomorrow. I appreciate you asking, but if you want a straight answer, I’m not going to tell you where he’s going to bat tomorrow because then DC knows where he’s going to bat, and then they have to deal with it not tomorrow but tonight at 7:30. However, thanks for asking, you’ll be waiting like everyone else And we will see.” Langer.

Pant’s record at number 3 in IPL

Pant has scored 558 runs in 15 matches, during which he has scored one century and two half-centuries. His strike rate is 172.75 and average is 46.5. Last season, Pant was able to score only 269 runs in 14 matches and he will be hoping to make a comeback this time.
