Odisha revenue minister assures action against sand mafia
BHUBANESWAR : Revenue minister Suresh Pujari on Saturday said Odisha would not be allowed to follow the lawless path in sand operations like it is in Bihar and West Bengal, while responding to the recent assault of an additional tehsildar in Kaptipada block, Mayurbhanj district, by the sand mafia. He promised stringent action against the sand mafia regardless of their connections, while speaking to mediapersons here on Saturday. "The Kaptipada incident represents a serious escalation in conflict between law enforcement and the sand mafia. The attack on officers performing their enforcement duties is similar to Bihar and West Bengal, where criminals challenge state authority. The administration's commitment in curbing illegal sand trafficking faces violent resistance from well-organised criminal networks. We pledged decisive action against both the direct perpetrators and their masterminds," said Pujari. This zero-tolerance approach signals a strong message that such attacks on govt officials will not be tolerated. The incident serves as a watershed moment in the ongoing battle against illegal sand mining operations, officials said. Kaptipada additional tehsildar Bhimakanta Majhi suffered injuries after an attack by the sand mafia near Suno river bed on Monday morning. In the incident, Majhi's car was damaged. Majhi, based on intelligence reports, went to inspect sand being lifted illegally using excavators. When he opposed it, he was attacked. Police said the miscreants, mostly goons of the sand mafia, intercepted Majhi's car and tried to stop him from venturing into the sand lifting site in the river bed. Pujari announced free sand provision for Pradhan Mantri Awas beneficiaries, with a draft standard operating procedure (SOP) already in preparation to streamline the process. "The most important thing is how to facilitate the supply of sand at low cost to the lower middle class and poor. We will introduce the provision of issuing permits to beneficiaries of PM Awas to lift at least two tractor fulls of sand for free for construction of houses. The PM Awas will be free from the sand cost burden," Pujari told reporters. BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty commented that the minister's statements are merely an attempt to whitewash the obvious collusion between administration officials and the mining mafia. "Instead of taking concrete action, the minister has limited himself to making empty rhetoric," he said. Mohanty said there has been a drastic decline in revenue from minor minerals from Rs 1,485 crore in 2023-24 to just Rs 600 crore in 2024-25.

Meet actress who started career as VJ, her fame and freedom were snatched due to…, got defamed because..., has now become owner..., she is..
In a tale that blurs the lines between fame and infamy, one actress's life took a dramatic turn that mirrored a dark cinematic plot. Once celebrated for her roles on screen, she soon found herself at the center of a real-life storm, where love turned against her, the public labeled her guilty, and the legal system did not spare her. The spotlight shifted from glamour to scandal, and the headlines echoed betrayal, heartbreak, and justice. Bollywood Actress…. Here we are talking about Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty , who started her career as a video jockey and later became rising star in film industry. However, everything changed in 2020 when the news of actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death surfaced. Rhea, who was in relationship with Sushant, faced a barrage of allegations without any concrete evidence. As a result, she and her brother, Shovik , were imprisoned. Not only did Rhea's acting career come to a standstill, but her brother's professional life was also deeply affected. Rhea's Revelation And Comeback After many months of silence and social challenges, Rhea chose to fight back instead of giving up. Together with her brother Shovik, she launched a clothing brand called Chapter 2 Drip , which has now reached a valuation of approximately Rs 40 crore. In an interview with CNBC TV18, Rhea shared that this brand was born out of her determination, courage, and desire for a fresh start. She also stated that after Sushant's case, she was no longer receiving any acting offers. Her brother, Shovik, who had scored 96th percentile in CAT exam, also had his MBA studies interrupted due to the arrest. Finding a job proved challenging because she and her brother faced constant defamation and media trials. On May 24, Rhea and Shovik opened the first physical store for their brand in Mumbai. On the day of launch, a traditional puja was conducted at the store, and photos were shared on Instagram. The store features collections for both men and women, with prices ranging from ₹ 1,190 to ₹ 4,190. More about Rhea Chakraborty In the meantime, Rhea marked her return to entertainment industry last year as the leader of a gang on MTV Roadies Season 20. She came back to the competition this year but ended up losing the trophy to social media influencer Elvish Yadav.
