Security heightened for Patwari recruitment exam
The exam will be held in two shifts across the state.
RSSB chairman major general (retd) Alok Raj said the board has implemented comprehensive measures to prevent malpractice.
"We will scan biometric data and conduct face scans at centres to weed out dummy candidates," he told TOI. In sensitive districts like Banswara and Jalore, the board will maintain constant CCTV monitoring. Candidates will undergo thorough frisking to ensure they do not carry Bluetooth devices or other prohibited items.
To prevent question paper leaks, officials will transport the papers under stringent security protocols. "Since the exam will be held in two shifts, the question paper of the first shift will not be released until the completion of the second shift. Only then will it be uploaded on the website," Raj said. The boxes containing the papers will be opened in safe rooms under CCTV supervision.
Police have been directed to secure the perimeters of all examination centres and to ensure no unauthorised individuals loiter nearby.

SGPC condemns denial of entry to Sikh sarpanch at Red Fort over kirpan
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami has condemned the denial of entry to an 'Amritdhari' Sikh sarpanch from a village near Nabha at the Red Fort on Independence Day, despite being specially invited to the event. Dhami called the refusal to allow Gurdhian Singh entry because of his 'kirpan' a reflection of an 'anti-Sikh mentality'(HT_PRINT) In a statement issued on Sunday, Dhami called the refusal to allow Gurdhian Singh entry because of his 'kirpan' a reflection of an 'anti-Sikh mentality'. He emphasised that preventing a Sikh from participating in a national event due to their religious symbol is an affront to the Sikh community and an act of treating them as outsiders in their own country. Dhami further criticised the ongoing discrimination against Sikhs, noting their immense sacrifices for India's freedom, yet continuing marginalization even after independence. 'What kind of Independence Day is this, where citizens are barred from observing their religious practices?' he said. The SGPC president reiterated that the 'five kakars', which include the kirpan, are an integral part of Sikh identity and cannot be abandoned. He called for strict action against the officials responsible for this incident to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

Clean image and cordial relations with netas across political parties paves Maharashtra governor CP Radhakrishnan's path to vice president's office
Mumbai: While more than a dozen BJP politicians were in the zone of consideration for vice president, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose Maharashtra governor C P Radhakrishnan for the post. A top BJP politician felt that Modi threw his weight behind Radhakrishnan owing to his clean image and cordial relations with all politicians across political parties. It appears that following his nomination, BJP will be able to bridge the gap with the DMK. Ever since he took up the gubernatorial assignment in Maharashtra, Radhakrishanan's visit to Tamil Nadu and Kerala have suddenly increased. "Modi was keen to promote a man from the South, Radhakrishnan was proper choice for the post," a politician said.

Before him, in 1987, Shankar Dayal Sharma was nominated vice president. In 2002, governor P C Alexander's candidature was finalised for the post of president, but his name was dropped at the last moment, following the nomination of Abdul Kalam for the prestigious post. A week after he took over the reins of Raj Bhavan on July 31, 2024, Radhakrishnan travelled across the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Undo He interacted with elected representatives of the people, officials, business leaders and met a cross-section of society. As chancellor of universities, he was instrumental in enhancing the quality of education and living conditions of the tribals. It appears that he entertained maximum delegations of the opposition parties, whether on the law and order situation in the state, financial scams or issues raised in the legislature. Radhakrishnan gave them a patient hearing and ensured that specific complaints received by him are submitted to the competent authority for appropriate action. Radhakrishnan also approved the nominations to the legislative council, which had been pending for long. It was for the first time that the governor had cordial relations with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis as well as DCPs Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar and the entire cabinet. Fadnavis said: "Throughout his tenure as MP and governor in various states, Radhakrishnan has garnered extensive expertise in a wide range of legislative and constitutional matters. His nomination as the VP candidate fills us all as Maharashtrians, with immense pride." Born in 1957 in Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu, he secured a bachelor's degree in business administration. Starting as an RSS activist, Radhakrishnan became the state executive committee member of the Bhartiya Janasangh in 1974.

Lalu's wit & sharp barbs dominate Sasaram rally
1 2 Patna: RJD president Lalu Prasad stole the show with his earthy humour and trademark style during the launch of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi 's fortnight-long "Voter Adhikar Yatra" in Sasaram on Sunday. The 77-year-old, despite frail health, launched blistering attacks on his rivals, leaving the audience in fits of laughter. "Lagal, lagal jhulaniya ke dhakka, balam Kalkata chala (We will push the opponent so hard that they will go far away)," he said, drawing loud cheers from the crowd. The line, a regular feature of his campaign speeches, once again brought his supporters to life. Accusing the BJP of being involved in "vote thefts," Lalu urged the masses not to let the saffron party return to power. "Throw out the vote thieves from power and help us win elections in the state," he said, calling upon people to remain united. He added that uprooting the NDA government was essential to "strengthen democracy." Lalu, who has been battling serious health complications and was advised by doctors to avoid crowds, surprised many by sharing the dais with INDIA bloc leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and CPI-ML general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dwarka's New Hotspot: Excellent Investment Opportunity Omaxe state Learn More Undo Though he addressed the gathering while seated, he was the last speaker of the function. "The doctors advised him against mixing with the crowd, but he decided to reach here to save your voting rights," said his son, leader of the opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, as he defended his father's decision to appear. Earlier in the day, before leaving for Sasaram, Lalu told reporters, "We made many sacrifices in the past to save democracy and will continue to protect it in the future too. We will not let democracy get destroyed, nor will we allow the voting rights of people to be erased." In recent days, the RJD chief has become unusually active ahead of the state elections. On Saturday, he visited Agiaon village in Bhojpur district to pay floral tributes on the birth anniversary of a former party MLA's father, in what observers saw as an attempt to reconnect with the masses ahead of the polls. Tejashwi, addressing the Sasaram rally, accused the Election Commission of deleting the names of lakhs of poor people from the electoral rolls during the special intensive revision. "The deletion of your names will not only snatch your voting rights but you will also lose your existence. Once you cease to be a voter, you will lose everything—pension, monthly ration, and all that," he told the gathering. Striking a folksy tone reminiscent of his father, Tejashwi added, "The people of Bihar know very well how to 'add lime to khaini.' Although poor, they are very smart. Bihar mein ham beimani nahin hone denge (We will not allow wrong deeds to take place in Bihar)." Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
