Nagi Reddy said that despite the filing of a writ petition, there is no progress in providing security to the former chief minister. He said that the fresh petition was filed with a different prayer, making the Union government a party respondent for CRPF security cover. He said that the state government is intentionally not providing security to Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Considering the arguments on both sides, Justice S.
Subba Reddy
asked what the guidelines are for providing security cover.

However, the High Court negated the request and said that the matter will be taken up for hearing after the summer vacation.

450kg paneer seized in raid in Chandigarh's Sector 26
1 2 Chandigarh: In a major crackdown on unauthorised food businesses, the food safety administration of the Chandigarh health department conducted a surprise raid early Wednesday morning in Bapudham Colony, Sector-26, seizing approximately 450 kg of paneer and other dairy products from a shop and a vehicle. The raid began around 7 am at house no. 714/2, where food safety officers discovered a large quantity of paneer, some stored inside the shop and a significant portion in a pickup vehicle parked outside. In addition to paneer, samples of desi ghee and dahi were also seized. All seized samples will be sent to a food analyst laboratory authorised by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). "Suitable action shall be initiated against the operator if it is found non-conforming to the standards," said an official. Also, two challans were issued under Section 63 of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006, one to the shopkeeper and another to the vehicle operator, for selling food items for public consumption without a valid FSSAI licence. Director health services, UT Chandigarh, has urged residents to remain vigilant while purchasing food items and to buy only from licenced vendors who maintain hygiene and use quality ingredients. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The department also encouraged the public to report any suspicious food practices to the department of food safety & standards, located at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16. Sukhwinder Singh, designated officer-cum-licensing authority for food safety, cautioned consumers against being misled by unusually low prices. "The cost of paneer cannot be as low as Rs 250 per kg, as it takes about 3 litres of milk with sufficient fat content to produce 1 kg of paneer. The processing cost alone would exceed Rs 300," he explained. Home Test for Fake vs Real Paneer To check the purity of paneer at home boil a small piece of paneer in a pan. Add a few drops of iodine tincture. If the paneer turns blue, it may be artificial or adulterated. If it retains its original colour, it is likely pure. Also, one can let the boiled paneer cool in water. Add some toor dal to the water and let it rest for 10 minutes. If the water turns light red, the paneer may be contaminated. If the colour doesn't change, go ahead and enjoy your paneer.

3.5cr assets case against senior cop held in Oct for taking 3.5 lakh bribe
1 2 Navi Mumbai: Senior police inspector Satish Kadam (55) of NRI Coastal police station in Navi Mumbai, who was suspended after being arrested in a corruption case by the Mumbai Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Oct last year, has now been booked for amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income. The FIR under the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered on June 9 at Ulwe police station by Mumbai ACB unit's police inspector Krushna Mekhale. Inspector Mekhale said, "The examination of Kadam's and his family's property documents and financial records revealed that he amassed wealth worth Rs 3.48 crore during his tenure from Dec 1, 2013 to Oct 9, 2024, which is 297% more than his known sources of income." Mekhale said the disproportionate assets case against Kadam is being further probed by Mumbai ACB unit's assistant commissioner of police Suresh Shirshat. Mekhale stated that following Kadam's arrest last Oct, he spent six days in police custody at ACB's Worli unit, followed by over a month in judicial custody before securing bail from the High Court. Kadam was arrested by the Mumbai ACB unit after he was allegedly caught red-handed while accepting Rs 3.5 lakh in bribes from Ajay Kumbhar to help his builder-father Mahesh Kumbhar get bail in a cheating case. Mahesh was already imprisoned at Taloja jail following a building collapse in Shahbaz village, Belapur in July last year, which resulted in three deaths and two injuries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

BSF complains about filthy train coaches for Amarnath duty, Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw acts
The Border Security Force complained to the North-Eastern Railways about the 'unhygienic/filthy' condition of 'most of the coaches' in a special train allotted on June 9 evening for movement of its 1,200 personnel from the Udaipur station in Tripura to Jammu Tawi in J&K for Amarnath Yatra duty. Stating it was 'not possible for troops to travel such a long distance' in the dilapidated coaches, the BSF Train Commandant, who complained to the Agartala Station Manager, sought their immediate replacement. On Wednesday, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw took 'serious note of the incident involving the deployment of an unsuitable/old train' and a probe was ordered, a Ministry official said, adding that four officials – the Coaching Depot Officer and three Senior Section Engineers – of the Alipurduar railway division had been placed under suspension. According to the official, a special train had been arranged exclusively for BSF personnel and it would leave the Agartala station Wednesday night. 'The Railway Minister has made it clear that the dignity and comfort of security forces are of utmost priority and that such negligence will not be tolerated at any level,' the official said. In the complaint to the Agartala Station Manager, the BSF Train Commandant had listed all that was wrong with the coaches – broken interiors including toilet doors, infested with cockroaches and insects, filthy berths and washrooms without water or electricity. The BSF Train Commandant said 'it is not possible for troops to travel such a long distance… in unhygienic/filthy and inhumane conditions' and there is every possibility that 'most of them may fall sick even before deployment'. The officer pointed out that the special train was made available at the Udaipur station only at 6.30 pm on June 9 though it had been requisitioned for June 6. According to the officer, the entire battalion was to be inducted and deployed by June 12 as per directions of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The officer sought immediate replacement of the dilapidated coaches, and also said the special train should be 'immediately placed for timely travel' to 'reach the destination as per schedule given by MHA and BSF Force HQs'. The BSF attached four files of videos and photographs of the allotted train. A spokesperson for the BSF said, 'We made a request to provide a special train for our 1,200 personnel. On June 9, they had provided a train but there were some shortcomings and we immediately informed their (Railways) senior officials about the situation.' The upcoming Amarnath Yatra will be the first major pilgrimage in J&K after the Pahalgam terror attack and the hostilities between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor. The Centre has decided to deploy 581 companies of paramilitary personnel to ensure adequate security for the Yatra.
