'Insufficient progress' made on drugs at Prison
A report into a category C men's prison has found that drugs remain easily available, with almost a third of inmates recording positive readings during random drug tests. HMP Erlestoke, in Wiltshire, was inspected over three days in April, following up on concerns raised about "safety", "respect" and "purposeful activity" during the previous inspection in 2024. HM chief inspector of prisons said good progress was being made in one out of the nine areas of concern, with reasonable progress being made in five. A Prison Service spokesperson said they are pleased improvements have been recognised, adding "more needs to be done". Three areas were found to have demonstrated insufficient progress. The report found that no improvement had been made in relation to prisoners' access to drugs, with the rate of positive random drug tests remaining at 32%. It also found that there had been 426 emergency medical calls in the previous six months for prisoners suspected of being under the influence of a prohibited substance. "Insufficient progress" was also made in improving the first night cells and preventing self-harm. The report said that despite a reduction "there was still no action plan to address the high levels of self-harm and to prevent future self-inflicted deaths." Support for prisoners who needed help with reading was also found to be lacking. Improvements were found to have been made with "overall levels of violence now lower than in similar prisons" and work had been done to address antisocial behaviour and reduce the use of force. The report found levels of violence had reduced by 25% since the 2024 inspection, including the number of serious assaults. The number of incidents of use of force had also decreased during the same period. It further noted that "positive steps had been taken to address negative perceptions of treatment among prisoners from ethnic minority backgrounds." The Prison Service spokesperson said: "We are pleased inspectors have recognised improvements in tackling violence and antisocial behaviour at HMP Erlestoke. "But we know more needs to be done, which is why we are working with police to keep drugs out of the prison and supporting prisoners with substance misuse addiction through our drug recovery wing."

Cop, teacher among 3 govt employees sacked in J-K for alleged terror links
The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Tuesday terminated the services of three employees, citing alleged links to terror outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). This brings the number of employees sacked in Jammu and Kashmir over the last five years under Section 311(2) (c) of the Constitution to 83. This Section empowers the administration to dismiss a government employee without holding an inquiry if it is in the interest of the State's security. Those sacked on Tuesday include Malik Ishfaq Naseer, a police constable; Ajaz Ahmed, a teacher in the school education department; and Waseem Ahmad Khan, a junior assistant in Government Medical College, Srinagar. Waseem Khan, official sources claimed, was linked to the plot that led to the targeted killing of journalist Shujaat Bukhari and two of his PSOs by militants on June 14, 2018. He was arrested on August 12, 2018, while the police were investigating terror associates involved in an attack in Batmaloo. He had been appointed by the Health and Medical Education Department in 2007. The J&K police constable, Malik Ishfaq Naseer, is the brother of Malik Asif Naseer, who official sources said was a 'Pakistan-trained terrorist' of the LeT killed in a police encounter in 2018. Recruited to the police ranks in 2007, Malik Ishfaq Naseer is accused of 'continuing his terror activities with impunity'. Official sources claimed his LeT link came to light in September 2021, when the J&K police were investigating a case related to the smuggling of arms and explosives in Jammu. Ajaz Ahmed, official sources claimed, is accused of working for the HM in Poonch. He was recruited as a teacher in 2011. Sources claimed he was 'actively helping the terror outfit in smuggling arms, ammunition and narcotics.' His alleged association came to light in November 2023 when police arrested Ajaz and his friend during a routine check, sources said. Further investigation revealed that the consignment was received on the directions of a handler based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. It was alleged that the consignment was to be delivered to terrorists operating in Kashmir for carrying out attacks on security forces and civilians.

Chennai schools come up with ways to boost admissions
Three govt schools under the Chengalpet education district have found ways to solve a common problem — getting more children into classrooms. People will enrol their kids in govt schools if unique initiatives are implemented, said C Karpagam, chief educational officer. Govt Higher Secondary School, Kovalam Is snooker a rich man's preserve? Not necessarily, thought headmaster T Nakkeeran when he brought in a snooker table worth 2 lakh in 2021, with the help of Venkatraman Memorial Trust. "It broke the stereotype that certain games are meant only for certain people," Nakkeeran told TOI. Physical education teacher Mohan, said, "Our students participated in a competition in Chennai but since they were not accustomed to playing in an air-conditioned environment, they lost. Now, we'll get ACs in our PE room to equip our students to fare better next time," he said. Besides snooker, the school has nets for cricket. M S Nanina, Class XI, who played for the Tamil Nadu U-17 cricket team, said, "Here, both acdemics and sports get the same importance. We reached the U-17 quarter-finals in Haryana and my school bore all the expenses."

"I send messages about students' absence, exam details and pass on updates. Student details are stored in the app along with their parents' phone numbers," said Ravi. Messages are sent four times a day, spaced 30 minutes apart. "If parents miss the first message, they can listen to the next."

Operation Sindoor Mission To End Terror, India's Wrath Made Pakistan Shiver: PM Modi
Last Updated: PM Modi praised India's Operation Sindoor as a decisive message against terrorism and a clear signal to Pakistan, lauding the forces for destroying LeT, JeM, and HM terror camps. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India's recent counter-offensive, codenamed Operation Sindoor, was a decisive message to the world against terrorism and a clear signal to Pakistan that any provocation will be met with overwhelming force. Speaking in Gujarat's Bhuj, just over two weeks after the India-Pakistan ceasefire was announced following the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, the Prime Minister said: 'We waited 15 days for Pakistan to act against the terrorists of Pahalgam. When they didn't, I gave full freedom to our armed forces." He lauded the Indian forces who conducted precise strikes and destroyed terror camps on Pakistani soil. 'We targeted terrorist bases and reduced them to dust. We even conducted strikes from within Indian soil," he said, referring to the strikes on jihadist terror camps run by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). These terrorist training and indoctrination camps have been responsible not only for the Pahalgam attacks but also for attacks on the Parliament in 2001 and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. These camps also regularly try to cause instability and security issues in the Kashmir valley, with terrorists trying to indoctrinate youth into following a path of terrorism. First Published:
