NCP must get Nashik guardian minister post: Bhujbal
Mumbai: Minister for food, civil supplies and consumer protection and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal on Sunday intervened in the ongoing tussle between his party and the Shiv Sena over guardian ministership of Nashik and Raigad districts by staking claim to the post of the Nashik guardian minister. Chhagan Bhujbal (HT Photo) 'Our party has seven legislators in the district. So we should get the guardian minister's post,' Bhujbal told reporters. At present, the BJP's Girish Mahajan looks after affairs of the district. The tussle over guardian ministership between NCP and Shiv Sena erupted a week before Republic Day this year, when the Mahayuti government named BJP's Girish Mahajan and NCP's Aditi Tatkare as guardian minister for Nashik and Raigad, respectively. The move deeply upset the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, which had staked claim to both posts and proposed school education minister Dada Bhuse and employment guarantee minister Bharat Gogawale as guardian minister for Nashik and Raigad, respectively. Gogawale's supporters hit the streets after the government named the two guardian ministers while Shinde contacted the BJP's leadership in Delhi and forced chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to put the decisions on hold. Mahajan and Tatkare were, however, allowed to hoist the national flag in Nashik and Raigad on Republic Day. The tussle came to the fore again ahead of Independence Day, when Bhujbal was given responsibility of hoisting the tricolour in Gondia district. Bhujbal, who was keen to hoist the flag in Nashik, conveyed his inability to go to Gondia due to health problems. On Sunday, Bhujbal stirred the row again, saying though his party had been insisting on the Raigad guardian minister's post, it had only one MLA in the district. In Nashik, on the other hand, the party held seven out of 15 assembly seats. 'I will tell my party that we should insist on the Nashik guardian minister's post,' Bhujbal said. 'I will speak about this with deputy chief minister (and NCP chief) Ajit Pawar and (NCP) state president Sunil Tatkare.' Girish Mahajan, who currently oversees affairs in the district, said he would be the guardian minister. Mahajan was speaking at a programme in Dhule.

Sending stray dogs to shelter homes is inhuman: Animal lovers stage protest
1 2 Lucknow: Stray animals have an equal right to live, and dogs have coexisted with humans for centuries, sending them to shelter homes is inhumane, said animal rights activists and animal lovers during a protest staged at Eco Garden on Sunday afternoon. The demonstration had brought together animal lovers, feeders, NGOs, doctors, engineers, lawyers, veterinarians, government servants, politicians and citizens from across the city. Reports of force being used against peaceful protesters and dogs being caught in Delhi without due process had added to the unrest. The issue was significant enough for the Chief Justice of India to take note and refer the matter to a larger bench on August 14. The final order of the apex court is awaited. Participants said dogs had long been part of the social and religious fabric. Legal experts pointed out that the order overlooked existing provisions under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023. "The dogs are a part of the ecosystem and society, eliminating or pounding them is not the solution. To address the problem scientific treatment including vaccination, sterilization, proper fooding and lodging should be provided. There should be an awareness campaign for making people aware of the protection and adoption of stray dogs," said Pooja Singh, an animal activist. "Dogs often chase vehicles after trauma, and most child bite cases involve provocation. Even those who dislike dogs do not want them to suffer. The difference is only in approach. There should be an awareness drive for the behaviour of these animals," said Neha Zaidi, founder, Fairy Tales (Masoom foundation). Concerns raised included disputed dog-bite statistics, with experts claiming parliamentary data and newspaper reports were in conflict. The protesters demanded strict enforcement of sterilization and vaccination under ABC Rules, an end to forced relocation, responsible media reporting, public awareness drives on dog handling and vaccinations, and promotion of Indie adoptions.
