War of words erupts over river linking project
Surat: Ahead of a rally on Thursday announced by the Congress party in Dharampur, to protest the Par Tapi Narmada river linking project, a war of words has begun between political leaders. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Congress's Vansda MLA Anant Patel called for the rally and urged tribals to join in large numbers to protest the project, while BJP leaders claimed that the scrapping of the project has already been announced. Patel said the govt prepared a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and this is why the protest campaign has restarted. BJP leaders, including C R Paatil, countered by accusing Patel of misleading the public, asserting that the project has been scrapped, as was previously announced by the govt. Union water resources minister Paatil accused the Congress of spreading false information about the Par Tapi Narmada river linking project. The BJP leader urged people not to be swayed by misinformation. "The Congress has recently been raising the issue to gain political mileage among tribal people. The BJP govt is committed to safeguarding the interests of tribal communities and would never implement any plan that harms them," Paatil said. Reacting to Paatil's comments, MLA Anant Patel demanded a clarification from the govt in writing. "Over 1 lakh people are going to be affected by the project and we will continue our campaign until the govt announces it officially in writing. They should declare in a white paper in Parliament that this project is not going to take place," said Anant Patel. Valsad BJP MP Dhaval Patel weighed in, labelling the Congress MLA's allegations "misinformation". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The BJP's assertion is that the Congress is attempting to instigate unrest among the local population by reviving a defunct project. "The scrapping of the project was announced by the govt in 2022 and no work is being done. Congress is losing elections in the region; hence, in search of support, they are misguiding tribals. This rally is being organized to save Congress's existence in this region," the Valsad MP said. The river linking project, which has been a contentious issue in the region, is seen by some as a potential boon for development, while others fear it could lead to environmental degradation and social disruption.

UP steps up security in 7 dists along Nepal border for I-day
Lucknow: In the run-up to Independence Day , security agencies have intensified the vigilance along the India–Nepal border, placing all seven bordering districts —Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich, Shravasti, Balrampur, Siddharthnagar, and Maharajganj — under heightened watch. A high alert came in effect on Monday, with the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) tightening patrols across all entry points from Nepal in the state. Police in border stations were ordered to remain on full alert, with thorough checks of all pedestrians, vehicles, identity documents, and belongings. The night-vision and CCTV surveillance were made operational at check posts, while metal detectors were used for screening. As part of heightened security measures, 500 additional SSB personnel were deployed to fortify the porous Indo-Nepal border. The CCTV surveillance and ID checks were made mandatory at all entry-exit points. Temporary border outposts were also set up to monitor any suspicious movement. The 42nd Battalion of the SSB launched dual-patrolling operations, where troops conducted simultaneous front-facing patrols to prevent infiltration. Special checkpoints were erected even in remote forested areas. In Balrampur, police and SSB teams maintained 24/7 joint surveillance along the border. Village security committees were also activated to alert authorities of suspicious movements. SSB Commandant Ganga Singh said the intelligence networks have been activated to identify and monitor anti-national elements. Personnel were given clear instructions to take immediate action against any suspicious activity. Locals were urged to report unfamiliar or suspicious individuals to police or SSB without delay. Bahraich SP Ram Nayan Singh said police stations in Rupaidiha, Motipur, Murtiha, Sujauli, and Nawabganj, which are adjacent to Nepal border, were put on alert.

Mahajan to hoist Tricolour in Nashik, Tatkare in Raigad
Nashik: State govt on Monday issued a circular stating that BJP minister Girish Mahajan will hoist the Tricolour in Nashik and NCP's Aditi Tatkare will hoist it in Raigad, even as the tussle over the district guardianship between Mahayuti alliance partners remains unresolved. "As per the govt circular, the national Tricolour will be hoisted by WRD minister Girish Mahajan in Nashik," confirmed a senior officer from the district administration here. Shiv Sena minister Uday Samant, who was in Nashik at the time the govt issued the circular, was quick to respond, saying this does not mean that the issue of appointment of the district guardian minister has been resolved. "Shiv Sena has not given up its claim on the Nashik district guardian minister post. The current announcement is limited only to the flag hoisting programme. Even today, we say that for the post of guardianship of Raigad, Bharat Gogawale should be considered, and school education minister Dada Bhuse should be considered for the Nashik post," Samant told reporters. Earlier this year, on Jan 18, the appointment of Aditi Tatkare as the guardian minister of Raigad and Girish Mahajan as the guardian minister of Nashik was announced. However, due to internal tensions in Mahayuti, the guardian minister announcements for both districts were withdrawn the very next day. In Raigad, NCP's Aditi Tatkare and Shiv Sena's Bharat Gogawale are in a tussle for the post, while in Nashik, BJP minister Girish Mahajan and Sena's Dada Bhuse are vying for it. There were speculations that the Tricolour in Nashik would be hoisted by former deputy minister and now minister for food and civil supplies, Chhagan Bhujbal, but instead, he has been asked to go to Gondia for flag hoisting. As per the govt circular, the Governor of Maharashtra, C P Radhakrishnan, will hoist the national Tricolour at Pune, while deputy CM Eknath Shinde will hoist the flag in Thane, deputy CM Ajit Pawar in Beed, BJP minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil in Ahilyanagar, Sena minister Gulabrao Patil in Jalgaon, Sena minister Dada Bhuse in Amravati, BJP minister Jaykumar Rawal in Dhule, and NCP minister Manikrao Kokate in Nandurbar.
