Delhi HC stays EFIs proposed Extraordinary General Meeting on Sunday
New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) The Delhi High Court has restrained the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) from holding the proposed Extraordinary General Meeting (EOGM) on Sunday and noted that there are serious disputes about virtually every facet of the functioning of affairs of the sports body. EFI Secretary General Col Jaiveer Singh had on August 2 issued a notice for the EOGM on August 17 but the Rajasthan Equestrian Association (REA) approached the court for a stay. The Court on Friday stayed the EOGM, saying, 'There appeared to be no rationale to further confound the uneasy state of affairs in EFI by convening an EOGM" and set October 13, 2025 as the next date of hearing. The agenda items including nomination of an interim president, finalise the 2025 calendar, approval of selection trials for FEI Asian Championship and set the selection criteria for 2025 Youth Asian Games, 2026 Asian Games, and approval of payments. Among other issues to be discussed were reason behind the creation of a separate e-mail ID for the organisation and acceptance of membership applications. 'We had approached a few days. Col Jaiveer wanted to have a few decisions passed. He wants to run the EFI as a one-man show. There are bogus clubs as members, through which he can get passed any decision," REA President Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod told PTI from London. 'It needs to be seen if the clubs are genuine or not. There are four genuine and major army units — ASC, RVC, 61 Cavalry, and the President's Body Guard. If they come through the Services Sports Control Board (SSCB)they will be welcome as per the NSDC 2011. 'But the bogus clubs need to go before the fresh election. That is the only way forward. The elections have to conducted under the Sports Code," he added. It may be mentioned that the Sports Ministry had in November 2021 exempted EFI from following two key provisions of the Sports Code including having at least two-thirds of the states and union territories as members. 'These exemption have also been challenged in the court," said Dundlod. Col. Jaiveer Singh said they are considering challenging the court decision. 'It's not a correct judgement. It is against the members. There are important decision to take. We have to finalise the calendar and until we do that events can't be held. The athletes will suffer. We are contemplating next course of action," Col. Jaiveer told PTI. The Equestrian Federation of India's Executive Committee (EC) was reinstated by a Delhi High Court order on May 29, 2024, which overturned a previous appointment of an Ad-Hoc Committee. This decision restored the control of the EFI's affairs to the democratically elected 2019 Executive Committee. The Court-appointed observer SY Quraishi recently mentioned in his report to the court that the endless bickering among the executive committee members was eroding the goodwill of the sports body. The Delhi High Court had entrusted former Chief Election Commissioner Quraishi with the task of overseeing the functioning of EFI while responding to a petition from REA in November 2019.

Delhi ramps up crackdown on overage vehicles at fuel stations
New Delhi: Banners flapped, loudspeakers announced numbers, squads in uniform watched closely, and cameras quietly scanned number plates — even before people stepped out of their cars. On Tuesday, as teams began enforcing the restrictions on fuel distribution to outdated vehicles, the scene played out like clockwork at several stations. The vehicles rolled in and the cameras instantly read the plate, just as challan cameras do, and if it was a 10-year-old diesel or a 15-year-old petrol car, a voice from the speaker immediately flagged it. The fuel staff gently refused petrol, and within moments, traffic police, transport department officials, and local cops approached, ask for RC, and if the vehicle was indeed overdue, impounded it. The mood at the pumps was part tense, part curious, and in places, dramatic. For instance, at a fuel station next to Lodhi Hotel in south Delhi, a car belonging to another state's police department was impounded after being flagged. "It was a smooth process," said traffic inspector Sanjeev Kumar. "The minute the car was read, we asked for the RCs and found it overage. The scrapper was called and the vehicle will now be sent to the yard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scalable retail: Video analytics firm enables more traffic thanks to robust computing power - Google Cloud: Future of Infrastructure CIO | Google Cloud, AMD Undo " You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A similar scene played out in Tughlaq Road Circle, where a car belonging to army personnel heading out of Delhi was impounded while refuelling. This car was also from another state. Officials said if the owners request to take them back out of Delhi, standard procedure will be followed. Two-wheelers weren't far behind. At the Lodhi Hotel station, Jaiveer and Fukran watched helplessly as their bikes were taken away. "This was all I had," Jaiveer said, his voice cracking. "I bought it second-hand in April for Rs 15,000. I sell kulcha-chole on a thela — how am I supposed to drag that around now? I didn't even know this was a rule. They should've given us some time." Fukran, whose bike carried a UP plate, added, "In my town, I got a five-year extension. I had no clue Delhi had a separate law. But what can one do now?" While many saw action from the get-go, some pumps witnessed only a trickle of flagged vehicles. At a few stations, enforcement setups weren't fully functional — in some, cameras worked but speakers did not. Alka Sahni, owner of Bharat Petroleum pump at Connaught Place, highlighted the absence of a speaker system to announce incoming vehicles exceeding the age limit. "I visited another pump to see how they operate under the new guidelines. At this station, the speaker is yet to be installed. Although the ANPR camera is in place, it's too technical for the workers to operate. I have complained thrice to Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation. They have promised they will install the speaker soon," she said. At the National Service Station in Connaught Place, where all equipment, including ANPR cameras, a speaker and informational banners, was installed, supervisor Mukesh Singh pointed out the absence of police personnel. "An officer visited but left within five minutes. Even though no banned vehicles have been recorded yet, police presence should be maintained," he said. At others, especially those outside the official list of 400 monitored stations, there were no checks at all. Vehicles — expired or not — continued to refuel as usual. At several pumps, enforcement teams had a dull day as no overaged vehicle appeared. At a pump in Ashram, a 15-year-old Mercedes was seized, along with several two-wheelers. Enforcement teams at pumps like Ghazipur border and Mayur Vihar did not report any violations. Jai Veer, head constable, transport enforcement, deployed at Ghazipur pump, said, "I think people with overaged cars are avoiding visiting pumps." Nischal Singhnaia, president, Delhi Petrol Dealers' Association, said, "Limited vehicles have been detected, and we have noted speakers were not present at some pumps. There are also concerns about camera placement. At my pump's location, a car travelling on the service road was incorrectly flagged as exceeding the speed limit."

Sheel Verma: Playing two different roles in same show has been fun
Sheel Verma is playing a double role in Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain. He plays Jaiveer and Bablu. Jaiveer is royal and focused. Bablu is a thief with a good heart.

Transitioning from the intense and brooding Jaiveer to the light-hearted and quirky Bablu. While the actor had been portraying Jaiveer since the show's inception, the latest track introduces Bablu — a street-smart thief with a heart of gold. He says, 'My role of Jaiveer is quite royal, he is a gentleman and very focused. But now Bablu is a complete contrast, he is funny, a follower of Lord Hanuman. Bablu, though a thief by profession (a trade he learned from his mother), is driven by kindness. He can't see anyone sad. He's a mumma's boy, good at heart and always ready with a witty one-liner.' The actor revealed that for now, Jaiveer's track has been put on hold, with Bablu stepping into the narrative. 'Even I don't know what the future holds. The show is full of suspense. For now, the family thinks Jaiveer is dead. Rest it depends on the audience and their reaction upon bablu,' he explained. When asked if playing two characters is a challenge, he said, 'Not at all. An actor is always up for new roles. Playing two different roles in the same show has been fun. Bablu brings a new energy, and I'm enjoying it — no stress like Jaiveer, who was dealing with heartbreak.' He has been part of projects like Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey, Le Chalu Apan Duari, Shree Ramayan Katha and Meri Maa Karma.
