CM flying squad seizes 8.5 quintals of adulterated mawa in Hisar
1 2 Hisar: The chief minister's flying squad on Sunday morning raided two houses in Dhani Shyam Lal, exposing an illegal operation of producing adulterated mawa (khoya). The team recovered 8.5 quintals of contaminated mawa stored in unhygienic conditions. The adulterated product, purchased from Rajasthan at Rs 130 per kg, was being sold in Hisar for Rs 180 per kg. During the raid, officials apprehended Mahavir Singh, a resident of Kawalsar village in Rajasthan's Churu district. In his presence, 675 kg of mawa was seized, much of it stored in dirty, foul-smelling water inside freezers. Mahavir admitted that the mawa was fake and regularly supplied to prominent sweet shops in Hisar, including all outlets of Bikaner Sweets, as well as shops in Barwala and Uklana. Investigators revealed that around Rakshabandhan and Teej, approximately 35 quintals of such adulterated mawa were supplied from this facility. While market rates for genuine mawa stood at Rs 500 per kg, the adulterated version was sold to shops for just Rs 150 per kg. The CM's flying squad, led by Hisar Range in-charge Sunaina, along with food safety officer Dr Pawan Chahal, ASI Surendra, HC Vijay, SI Krishna Kumar, HC Surendra, Anoop, and Manoj, collected six samples for laboratory testing.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla emphasises dialogue and democracy at Mahavirayatan foundation event
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 24 (ANI): Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, addressing a gathering at the Mahavirayatan Foundation on the theme 'Samvaad Se Samadhaan - Ek Paricharcha', emphasised the critical role of dialogue, peace, and democratic values in tackling contemporary challenges. He emphasised the lasting relevance of Lord Mahavir's teachings, while also highlighting India's identity as the mother of democracy, particularly as the nation celebrates 75 years of the Constitution. Birla observed that Lord Mahavir's message, though delivered over 2,500 years ago, still resonates deeply across societies. His principles of non-violence, compassion and self-discipline continue to guide individuals in navigating modern-day strife. Birla emphasised that Lord Mahavir's teachings are not merely religious tenets, but a holistic way of life that promotes harmony, introspection and ethical conduct. Drawing a parallel to contemporary issues, the Speaker noted that in a world marked by increasing conflict and instability, the relevance of dialogue has never been greater. Violence and confrontation, he said, cannot resolve our problems; instead, peaceful dialogue rooted in mutual respect is the only sustainable path forward. The message of 'Samvaad Se Samadhaan' is therefore not just philosophical, but deeply practical and necessary. Transitioning to India's democratic journey, Birla stressed that while independence was achieved in 1947, democracy has been practised in India for centuries. India did not import democracy -- it inherited and nurtured it from ancient traditions of consensus, public discourse, and community-led governance. Despite the post-independence challenges and uncertainties, India made a bold and determined choice to adopt democracy, a choice that has shaped the country's destiny. He referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's often-articulated belief that 'democracy is the very soul of India.' Birla reaffirmed that sentiment, stating that democratic institutions in India are built on the foundational principles of discussion, cooperation, and accommodation. India's Parliament reflects this ethos, where diverse viewpoints are debated, and consensus is built through constructive engagement. As the country celebrates 75 years of the Constitution, Birla highlighted how India today stands as a beacon of democratic success. The world looks to India as a living example of how democracy, when practised with commitment and inclusiveness, can ensure progress, stability, and national unity. The Speaker called for a deeper appreciation of India's democratic legacy and the enduring wisdom of spiritual thought leaders like Lord Mahavir. Both traditions -- one rooted in governance and the other in ethical living -- emphasise the power of dialogue over discord, and compassion over conflict. Chairman, Maharashtra Legislative Council, Ram Shinde; Milind Deora, MP and other dignitaries remained present on the occasion. (ANI)

Cyclist hit by car but taken to hospital by driver, dies in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: A man, who was rushed to a hospital by the driver of an SUV that hit him near Palam Vihar Road in Sector 5, succumbed to his injuries on Monday. The Scorpio car that struck the cyclist — Laxman Chaudhary, a cattle farmer and resident of Ashok Vihar 2 — while he was crossing the road was being driven by Mahavir Singh. New Palam Vihar resident Mahavir, whose car was allegedly speeding, rushed Laxman to Manipal Hospital in Sector 23 after he fell on the road and sustained multiple injuries, including in stomach and head. Laxman died at the hospital. On Tuesday, a case was registered against Mahavir under sections 106 (causing death due to negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of BNS at Sector 5 police station following a complaint lodged by victim's father Prashadu, who also told police that Laxman was the youngest of his four children. On Monday, the complainant received a call from Laxman's wife at 5.30pm saying her husband, who went to the market to purchase household items, had been involved in an accident. "On his way home from the market, my son was crossing the road when a speeding white Scorpio car hit him from the front, causing him serious injuries," Prashadu told police.
