Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani gets a new guest, it will live in...
New guest has arrived at Anant Ambani's house: In a significant development for the Ambani family and more specifically Anant Ambani, the Bombay High Court approved the relocation of Mahadevi, an ailing elephant currently in Kolhapur, to the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, a specialised elephant care centre in Jamnagar. Notably, the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, supported by Anant Ambani's Vantara initiative, is known for its dedicated care, veterinary expertise, and expansive natural enclosures.
The specialised elephant care centre of Anant Ambani has been notably designed to offer long-term rehabilitation. As per a report by news agency ANI, the move comes in response to concerns raised over her health and overall well-being. Who's the new guest at Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Reports presented to the court indicated that Mahadevi was suffering from severe injuries and needed a better environment to heal and thrive. After reviewing her condition and the available facilities, the High Court concluded that her best chance at healing lies in a sanctuary purpose-built for elephant care. How Mahadevi was transferred to Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Invoking the parens patriae principle to safeguard the rights of the 'voiceless and hapless Mahadevi', in its ruling, the court said, 'We have considered and chosen the survival of the elephant and its right to quality life, over and above the rights of men to use the elephant.'
The panel also quoted the words of Lawrence Anthony from his book 'The Elephant Whisperer' to support the argument for better treatment of the elephants. This decision marks a compassionate step toward recognising the emotional and physical needs of animals who cannot voice their suffering. With this transfer, Mahadevi is expected to receive focused treatment and the peaceful surroundings essential for her recovery.
The Jamnagar-based sanctuary offers a robust ecosystem of veterinary staff, natural foraging space, and continuous care, ensuring elephants like Mahadevi are given a second chance at a dignified, comfortable life.

Jammu & Kashmir: 679 houses completed under PMAY in Bhaderwah
BHADERWAH : The Centre has completed 679 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana ( PMAY ) in Jammu and Kashmir 's Bhaderwah, the Block Development Officer said. The implementation of the PMAY in Jammu and Kashmir 's Bhaderwah mirrors the government's steadfast commitment to ensuring housing for all. In the financial year 2023-24, 718 beneficiaries were identified, and 679 houses have already been completed, marking a significant milestone in rural infrastructure and welfare. Bhaderwah Block Development Officer Yasir Ahmed Wtold ANI, "The completion of 679 houses in a single financial year under PMAY is a testament to our team's dedication and the government's vision of 'Housing for All'. Special focus was given to poor and tribal families who were living in unsafe and unhygienic conditions. Today, many of them have permanent homes with proper facilities, which has significantly improved their standard of living." "We are committed to ensuring 100 per cent saturation of eligible beneficiaries in the coming months," the officer added. Homeless people are getting homes in the hilly terrains of Bhaderwah under the PMAY. This flagship rural housing scheme has dramatically improved the lives of underprivileged families, particularly those from economically weaker sections, by fulfilling their long-held dream of owning a home. For residents like Shahdi Lal, a 66-year-old daily wage labourer from Bhaderwah, the scheme has been life-changing. Shahdi Lal told ANI, "Earlier, I had faced many problems while living in a dilapidated mud wall house with my children and family, particularly during thunderstorms and the rainy season. However, with the government's help, I have now acquired a new house under the PMAY. I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the district administration for providing us with a pucca house." "At my age, it was no longer possible to build a house with my limited income as a labourer. PMAY has provided a lifeline in the form of a resilient home that withstands the severe cold. It has changed the quality of life for my family," he said. As the region continues to benefit from the focused implementation of welfare programs, Bhaderwah stands as an example of how effective governance can bring about lasting, grassroots-level transformation.
