Dilawar cracks down on illegal power connections
1 2 Kota: State's education and Panchayati Raj Minister Madan Dilawar organised neighbourhood meetings in Suket area of his constituency on Sunday. During a meeting held in Surliwal's alley, local residents complained about a person named Kallu providing illegal electricity connections. Residents reported that Kallu had laid pipes alongside the water pipeline to provide illegal electricity connections and was collecting Rs 500 per month from each household. Approximately 700 homes had illegal connections. Minister Dilawar immediately instructed the Superintendent Engineer of Electricity, Vishnu Dutt Lodha, to visit the site with a police team and take action. Following the instructions, the engineer and his team disconnected the illegal connections and seized the cables. Meanwhile, minister Dilawar himself arrived at the site. Residents showed him the illegal electricity connections running into homes through underground pipelines. The minister immediately summoned Suket Police Station Officer Chhotu Lal to file an FIR against the accused Kallu alias Jalaluddin and his accomplice. He ordered the recovery of dues from the accused, including interest, from the time electricity supply began in Suket. Afterward, minister Dilawar inspected Kumhar neighbourhood, where an encroachment issue on the old building of the Government Higher Secondary School Suket was found. The minister, along with Sub-Divisional Officer Neeta Vasita, Municipal Executive Officer Hemendra Sankhla, and Station Officer Chhotu Lal, visited the school to inspect the encroachment. Cattle were found tied in the staff room, and other rooms were locked. The minister instructed the Sub-Divisional Officer to clear the entire school building of encroachments, appoint a receiver, and prepare proposals for operating an Anganwadi centre. Seeing encroachment on the road with stones, Minister Dilawar got angry and immediately ordered the Municipal Executive Officer of Suket to remove the encroachment using a JCB. The Chief Executive Officer promptly arranged for a JCB to clear the encroachment.

Twin polar bears debut at Saint Louis Zoo
ST. LOUIS – Polar bear twin brothers made their public debut Tuesday morning at the Saint Louis Zoo. Kallu and Kallik can be viewed at McDonnell Polar Bear Point during regular zoo hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The twins were born at the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium in November 2022. They arrived at the Saint Louis Zoo in early March. In return, the Saint Louis Zoo sent Kali, its previous resident polar bear, to the Toledo Zoo to be paired with a female as part of a breeding program. According to zoo spokespersons, Kallu and Kallik are an energetic, playful duo, who spar and chase one another during the day and often sleep side-by-side at night. Polar Bear Point includes a private care area not accessible to the public, which offers bedroom spaces, a denning area, and an outdoor off-exhibit habitat. Close Thanks for signing up!

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are listed as 'threatened' under the Endangered Species Act because of a decline in population brought on by loss of sea ice from climate change. In 2024, the Saint Louis Zoo launched its WildCare Institute Center for Polar Bear Conservation to protect the species through collaborative breeding programs, funding research, and working with Arctic communities.
