TTD suspends 4 employees
These individuals were identified following a vigilance investigation that found them involved in non-Hindu religious observances.
TTD officials clarified that the suspensions were not arbitrary but followed a formal process involving internal vigilance reports that confirmed breaches of service rules. 'Those working in institutions like the TTD are not just employees, they are seen as custodians of its religious character. Any deviation from the spiritual ethos of the institution invites disciplinary action', an official source said.
This is not the first such case in recent months. On July 8, Assistant Executive Officer A Rajasekhar Babu was suspended after evidence emerged of his participation in church services in his native village, Puttur, located in Tirupati district. His case was similarly reviewed by the vigilance wing before suspension orders were issued.

NRIs turning to India for high-quality quality affordable healthcare, customers up 150% YoY in FY25: Report
New Delhi [India], July 28 (ANI): Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are increasingly choosing India as their destination for high-quality and affordable healthcare, according to the data released by Policybazaar. The data showed a significant 150 per cent growth in the share of NRI customers in FY 2024-25 compared to FY 2023-24, highlighting India's growing appeal in the global medical tourism space. It stated, "India is fast emerging as one of the world's most sought-after medical tourism hubs. The growth is quite visible with more NRIs turning to India to access high-quality healthcare. Our data indicates a 150 per cent overall growth in the share of NRI customers in FY 25". One of the key reasons behind this mentioned in the data report is the surge is the massive cost advantage India offers for medical treatments when compared to countries like the United States and the United Kingdom. For instance, heart bypass surgery in India costs between USD 5,000 and USD 8,000, while the same procedure in the U.S. can cost between USD 70,000 and USD 150,000. Similarly, a knee replacement surgery costs only USD 4,000 to USD 6,000 in India, compared to USD 30,000 to USD 50,000 in the U.S. A liver transplant in India is priced between USD 25,000 and USD 35,000, whereas it costs USD 300,000 to USD 500,000 in the U.S. NRIs opting for elective procedures in India typically have average claim amounts ranging from USD 2,000 to USD 15,000. For more complex surgeries, the claims may rise to USD 20,000 to USD 40,000, still representing considerable savings when compared to international healthcare costs. The affordability factor also extends to health insurance premiums. In India, the average annual health insurance premium per person ranges from USD 120 to USD 300. In contrast, the same coverage in the U.S. can exceed USD 8,000 annually, while in GCC countries, it ranges from USD 4,000 to USD 5,000. This significant difference has led to a visible increase in online searches by NRIs exploring health insurance options in India for themselves and their families. The data further reveals a 125 per cent surge in the share of women NRI customers and a 148 per cent increase in the number of NRI customers under the age of 35. This showed that younger NRIs and women are increasingly considering Indian healthcare as a preferred choice. When it comes to preferred locations for treatment, South Indian cities continue to dominate the list across all tiers. Cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, and Thane are also gaining popularity among NRI patients. With a combination of quality care, advanced medical infrastructure, and substantial cost benefits, India is rapidly emerging as a leading hub for NRI medical needs. (ANI)

Forget Ghaziabad's fake embassy, you can even build a country of your own

For years, the 47-year-old operated with impunity, drove around in luxury cars bearing diplomatic plates, and introduced himself as 'Baron of Westarctica'.advertisementHe made 162 trips abroad over a decade and may have links to a Rs 300-crore financial scam, an ongoing probe by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has revealed.

Haridwar stampede: 8 dead, 30 injured in stampede at Mansa Devi temple
At least eight people, including a 12-year-old boy, were killed and 30 others injured in a stampede on a narrow stairway leading to a temple in Haridwar on Sunday morning, officials aware of the matter said. Footwear lay scattered at the spot following a stampede at the Mansa Devi temple, in Haridwar on Sunday. 8 people died and other 30 were left injured. (ANI Video Grab) According to officials, the incident took place at around 9am after a rumour spread that a high-voltage live wire had fallen on the passage leading to the Mansa Devi temple, one of Uttarakhand's busiest pilgrimage sites, triggering panic among a large crowd of devotees. 'Six people have been confirmed dead. According to eyewitnesses, someone spread a rumour that a live wire had fallen on the path to the temple, which triggered panic among the devotees,' Haridwar district magistrate Mayur Dixit said earlier in the day. Officials later in the day said that two more people died. Also Read | 'Peeche jao': Harrowing Haridwar stampede video captures chaos; death toll mounts to 8 Thirteen of the injured were referred to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh, state disaster management secretary Vinod Kumar Suman said. The deceased were identified as UP residents Arush (12), Vishal (19), Ram Bharose (65), Vicky Saini(18), Vakil Shanti Devi; Shakal Dev (18) from Bihar; Vipin Saini (18), a resident of Uttarakhand. The full names and ages of some of the victims were not immediately available. Video clips from the stampede spot showed a large crowd pressed against each other in the choked 1.5 km stretch leading to the temple, which is located atop the Shivalik Hills at the height of 500 feet. Witnesses said there was hardly any room to move on the path, and people started pushing against one another after the rumour of a high-voltage wire falling on the passage spread. 'There is very little space on this used both for going up to the temple and coming down. There was a lot of pushing and shoving. No electric current was involved. It was just a rumour. People started jumping over each other, and some even leapt off to the other side of the wall,' Bunty (who goes by one name), an eyewitness, quickly spread among the devotees, leading to chaos and confusion, witnesses recounted. 'I somehow managed to survive. Five of our family members got separated. We've found three, but we're still searching for the other two,' Santosh Kumar, a resident of Bihar, said. Dixit said several electric wires were found broken at the site, indicating that some people may have attempted to climb up using them for support. The Mansa Devi Temple is a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Goddess Mansa. It is situated around 3km from Har-Ki-Pauri and can be reached either by trekking the uphill path or through a ropeway. Local residents said that there was a surge in the crowd on account of it being a weekend. 'Mansa Devi is the biggest centre of attraction for devotees in Haridwar after Har Ki Pauri. Thousands of devotees come here every day. The crowd swells during the month of Sawan as a rule. Being a Sunday, the possibility of a larger crowd was very much there,' said Ajay Jaiswal, a local resident. Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said a magisterial probe has been ordered in the incident. 'We have ordered a magisterial probe into the incident, and those responsible for spreading the rumour will face strict action,' Dhami said. He announced an ex-gratia of ₹2 lakh each to the next of kin of the deceased and ₹50,000 each for the injured. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was deeply saddened by the loss of lives in the stampede. 'Condolences to those who lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon. The local administration is assisting those affected,' he said in a post on X. Uttarakhand Congress slammed the state government over the incident, terming it as an 'administrative failure' and seeking a judicial inquiry. ' 'This incident is not only a human tragedy but also stark evidence of administrative failure. The administration had made no concrete plans to handle the crowd,' said state Congress president Karan Mahara. The BJP rejected the charge and urged the Opposition to not make baseless accusations. 'The incident is under investigation, and strict action will be taken against those found responsible. Making political accusations without verified facts is not appropriate,' 'BJP state president and Rajya Sabha MP Mahendra Bhatt said.
