Campaign launched to protect Hindus, says Pravin Togadia
Praveen Togadia, president of Antarashtriya Hindu Parishad, said on Friday that Hindu Suraksha Abhiyan has been launched across the country for the protection of the Hindu community.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Togadia said the campaign revolves around four key issues for which they are drumming up support from the community members across the country.
He said there should be a law to control population so that there was no demographic shift, and the Hindus remain in majority.
For this to happen, every Hindu couple should have at least three children, failing which there was a threat of Hindus being reduced to a minority, Mr. Togadia said.
He said infiltrators should be identified and deported. Mr. Togadia called for freeing Hindu temples from government control, and the issue will be taken up as part of the campaign.
He said nearly one lakh Hanuman Chalisa Centres will be opened to network and unite Hindus. The centres will not only provide religious education to the Hindus but will teach them self-defence, provide legal services, ration for the poor, health services, etc.

Nepal authorities lift restrictions on organising protests in Kathmandu
Nepal authorities have lifted the restrictions imposed on organising protests in most parts of the national capital, according to an official notice. The order issued on May 31 prohibiting sit-ins, hunger strikes, protests, public gatherings and demonstrations within the Ring Road areas of Kathmandu has been withdrawn effective from June 19, said the notice issued by the Kathmandu District Administrative Office on Thursday. The pro-monarchy protesters, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy and the establishment of a Hindu state in Nepal, were organising protest programmes before the restrictions were imposed. The protests were disrupting business activities and transportation services, the local administration had said. Pro-monarchist groups, including the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and supporters of former king Gyanendra Shah, had earlier said they would continue the protest until the monarchy was restored. However, they have withdrawn protest programmes due to the onset of the monsoon in Nepal.

Udayagiri police station divided into north and south
The State government has approved the proposal to divide Udayagiri police station in Mysuru into Udayagiri North and Udayagiri South police stations. The government's decision follows a proposal submitted in this regard by the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police in April 2025. A Government Order dated June 20 said the approval follows the clearance by the Finance Department on Thursday. The Director-General and Inspector-General of Police, in the proposal, sought to divide the jurisdiction of the Udayagiri police station into Udayagiri North police station and Udayagiri South police station by fixing the Mahadevapura Main Road as the boundary. While the existing Udayagiri police station situated on Mahadevapura Main Road is proposed to be converted into the Udayagiri South police station, a new building for the Udayagiri North police station can be constructed on a Civic Amenities (CA) plot No. CA – 07 measuring 29x36 metres in Devanuru 1st Stage, the proposal said. The jurisdiction of the Udayagiri police station established in 1994 after being seperated from the Nazarbad police station limits comprises areas that are 'communally sensitive'. 'Over the past 26 years, the region has witnessed various criminal activities, communal riots, inter-caste and inter-religious conflicts, serious offences such as murders and attempt to murder, theft cases, and changing electoral scenario all of which had resulted in increasing pressure on the officers of the Udayagiri police station,' the proposal said. Giving details of the number of criminal cases registered in the Udayagiri police station in the last three years, the proposal said 215 cases were registered in 2022, while 213 and 209 cases were registered in 2023 and 2024 respectively. It was pointed out that the Udayagiri police station area comprises significant population of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, with the presence of 78 mosques, 59 temples, and nine churches. 'During religious festivals, Urs and temple fairs, officials and personnel from other police stations in the city had to be deployed to ensure law and order,' the proposal said. The Mahadevapura Main Road, which is considered as a boundary for the division of the Udayagiri police station, is highly congested. The road has mosques, bus depots, bus stops, banks, schools, private financial institutions, ATMs, etc., besides vegetable, grocery shops, garment stores, medical stores, hotels, meat shops, etc. 'Street vendors crowd both sides of the road,' the proposal said. The road, which is a densely populated commercial stretch, connects not only major roads and residential areas, but also the Outer Ring Road, five km of which falls in the jurisdiction of the Udayagiri police station. While the existing population of the Udaygiri police station is estimated to be 3.11 lakh, the proposed Udayagiri North Police station will have 1.48 lakh people and the proposed Udayagiri South Police station will have a population of 1.62 lakh. The staff sanctioned for the Udayagiri South Police station includes one police inspector, four police sub-inspectors, eight assistant sub-inspectors, 24 head constables, and 48 police constables. Similiarly, the staff sanctioned for the Udayagiri North police station comprises one police inspector, four sub-inspectors, eight assistant sub-inspectors, 24 head constables, 48 police constables, and two assistant police constables. The creation of two police stations carries an estimated recurring annual expenditure of ₹6.11 crore and a non-recurring expenditure of ₹3.39 crore, the proposal added.
