Bakrid celebrated with prayers, unity
1 2 Bhubaneswar: The Muslim community across Odisha celebrated Eid Al Adha on Saturday with traditional fervour marked by mass prayers at mosques and idgahs, though rising animal prices dampened the festivities a bit. The festival, also known as Bakrid, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's devotion to Allah and his willingness to sacrifice his son. While the ritual sacrifice of animals remains central to the celebration, many devotees opted out this year due to unprecedented price increases of sacrificial animals. "The animal prices are exceptionally high this year and beyond my means. I had to forgo the ritual," said Altaf Hussain, a resident of Dumduma. The celebration, which coincides with the culmination of the annual Haj pilgrimage in Mecca, saw Muslims sharing festivities with friends and relatives across religious communities. Special feasts were organised maintaining the spirit of community bonding. Local authorities implemented comprehensive security measures to ensure peaceful celebrations. CM Mohan Charan Majhi and cabinet ministers extended their greetings to the Muslim community on the occasion. The festival passed off peacefully with no untoward incident reported from any part of the state.

Mahim residents urge revival of Haj ships as cruise terminal opens
In a touching scene from the 1983 blockbuster Coolie, protagonist Iqbal (Amitabh Bachchan) plans to go for Haj and pray for the recovery of his seriously ill mother. However, just before boarding the passenger ship for Jeddah, he is stopped from travelling as he is suffering from a fever. Iqbal gives his ticket to a poor, old man and sends him off for Haj on his behalf, crooning the devotional number: 'Mubarak ho tum sabko Haj ka mahina...' The movie's script blocked Iqbal from boarding the ship for Haj. In real life, however, a group of Mahim residents have petitioned the govt to restart passenger ships to Saudi Arabia for Haj pilgrimage. As the annual Haj for 2025 concluded this past week, the Mahim Residents' Group reiterated their old demand. The recent inauguration of the Mumbai International Cruise Terminal at Mazagon has rekindled their hopes. "Haj pilgrimage through the sea route was stopped in 1995 as the govt wanted pilgrims to travel by air and the travel was subsidised. Now the pilgrimage by flights has become costlier and poor pilgrims cannot afford it. Travel by ships will substantially reduce the cost," says Irfan Machiwala, one of the residents who is joined by Farooque Dhala, Syed M Ismail, and Syed Gulzar Ranam. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust! Expertinspector Click Here Undo The advocates for restarting passenger ships for Haj cite a 2018 statement of then Union Minorities Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, where the minister said that the govt wanted to start Mumbai-Jeddah cruise ship services to ferry Haj pilgrims as a pilot project. "But the plan got shelved," says Dhala. In 2023, the residents wrote to the Maharashtra CM, PMO, Ministry of Minority Affairs, and even sought help from some MPs. On May 5, 2023, in a letter to Sarbananda Sonowal, then minister of ports, shipping, and waterways, Shiv Sena MP Gajanan Kirtikar wrote: "Poor Muslim pilgrims would have to pay much less for travel to Jeddah than they pay for airfares and it would be helpful in cutting down the Haj and Umrah cost. As part of the new Haj policy, the Modi govt planned 15 cruise trips for pilgrims from 2018 onwards. " It was the famous Khandwani family in Mahim that pioneered the commercial ships for Haj during the First World War. In 1914, four brothers, Abdullahmian Khandwani, Dadamian Khandwani, Mohammedmian Khandwani, and Abbamian Khandwani, bought three German ships and created the Khandwani Steam Navigation Company. In an article on the Khandwanis, journalist M A Siraj says that for the 10-day voyage from Bombay to Jeddah, the Khandwanis would charge up to Rs 210, with the price going down to Rs 10 per passenger, depending on the economic condition of the pilgrims. "The booking manager had instructions to insist on people paying according to their status, more in line with the spirit of the Hajj. But they must... It would take the ships ten days to ferry the pilgrims to Jeddah," writes Siraj. Sohail Khandwani, a descendant of the family, businessman, and managing trustee of Mahim and Haji Ali Dargahs, who lives in the iconic beachside villa, Khandwani House, in Mahim, says: "I feel privileged that my forebears pioneered the commercial ships for Haj pilgrimage. The govt should restart if it is viable today." Sohail's uncle Amin Khandwani, chairman of the Haj Committee of India (1982-89), told Siraj in an interview in 2005 that his grandfather Abba Mian Khandwani "would tie a talisman on the mast and sail off for Jeddah. " We speak to Asif Dadarkar, who owns a shipping company and whose uncle Mohammed Saeed Dadarkar was general manager at Mogul Lines Ltd, which operated two ships, MV Noorjahan and MV Akbar, to ferry Haj pilgrims. "Ferrying Haj pilgrims alone will not be commercially viable unless they are subsidised and allowed to cruise to other ports," says Dadarkar. Whether or not the govt restarts passenger ships for Haj by reintroducing a subsidy, for now the residents are keeping the faith.

Historic crime branch building to be redeveloped
MUMBAI: The ground-plus-two-storey building inside the Mumbai police headquarters in Fort, which has served as the office of the crime branch since 1909, will soon be demolished as it is dilapidated and beyond repair. The crime branch will temporarily shift to the Bawla compound in Chinchpokli and the new building in the commissioner's office till a six-storeyed building comes up in place of the earlier structure, said sources in Mumbai police. 'The building's front-end made of stone is still in proper condition, but the iron beams at the back have rusted and are becoming increasingly unsafe by the day,' a senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer told Hindustan Times. Structural auditors who examined the century-old building recommended that it be demolished because of the weak back-side, he said. 'Besides, the overall strength of the city police force has increased and we are facing a severe space crunch at the headquarters,' the officer said. Apart from the crime branch, the new, six-storeyed building will house the CCTV monitoring centre, the administrative branch and meeting rooms, the officer noted. Historical building When Mumbai was rocked by demonstrations in 1908 in light of the arrest of nationalist leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak on charges of sedition, the colonial government turned its attention to gathering intelligence on political activists. On June 8, 1909, it set up the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which replaced the detective branch and started functioning as an elite organisation placed under the control of a deputy commissioner of police. The two-storeyed building, which was used to house Haj pilgrims for a few weeks, was allotted to the newly-formed CID of the Imperial Police in June 1909 itself. Referred to as the GBCB (Greater Bombay Crime Branch) CID, it investigated crimes of sensitive, political and religious nature – its mandate being largely similar to the current crime branch. The Special Branch, which gathered political intelligence and information about political activists and foreigners visiting India, was carved out of the CID in 1920. It moved to a building close to St Xavier's School around ten years later while the CID continued operating out of its earlier premises. In recent decades, the two-storey building has witnessed the interrogation of several hardened criminals and celebrities. Their ranks include terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab, who had landed in the city along with nine other members of the Pakistani terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba on November 26, 2008 and held the city to siege over the next 72 hours, killing 164 people. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was interrogated in the building by former police commissioner Rakesh Maria, in connection with the March 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai. Underworld dons Rajendra Sadashiv Nikalje aka Chhota Rajan, Arun Gawli, Abu Salem and Ejaz Lakdawala were also detained and interrogated in the building by crime branch officers. The demolition of the building will begin in another month or two, said a senior police officer. 'Some sections of the crime branch will be shifted to a 15-storey building in Bawla Compound in Chinchpokli till the new building is ready,' the officer said. 'However, the joint commissioner police (crime) and some other officers will move to the fourth floor of the new building in the commissioner's office.' The Chinchpokli building houses the office of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) across three floors, the officer added.
