MHA seeks Admn's comments on key issues of public interest
Chandigarh: In a development that could rekindle hopes of city residents, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) has asked the Chandigarh administration to provide its inputs on four major issues. In a letter to the UT chief secretary, the MHA requested the administration's comments, views, report, and current status on major issues. The letter lists the issues as share by sale of property, need-based changes in dwellings, apartments, and houses constructed by the Chandigarh Housing Board, abolition of the concept of Lal Dora in 22 villages of Chandigarh which have been made a part of the MC and ownership rights of people living in resettlement colonies. The latest MHA letter gains significance as earlier, the administration responded in the negative on all these issues while responding to questions raised in Parliament. Abolition of Lal Dora A total of 22 villages in Chandigarh were included in the MC between 2015 and 2018. Over the years, large-scale construction took place outside the Lal Dora of these villages. For a long time, residents have been demanding regularisation of these constructions by either abolition or extension of the Lal Dora. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Last August, the MHA said in reply to a question raised by Chandigarh MP Manish Tiwari, "As per 'The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952', no person is allowed to erect or re-erect any building in an area outside Lal Dora without the previous permission of the deputy commissioner. Any construction outside Lal Dora without the approval of the competent authority is a violation of this Act." Allowing need-based changes More than three lakh city residents living in CHB houses have been demanding a permanent solution to the issue of need-based changes. Over the last 45 years, need-based changes were made in around 95% of the units. Residents have been demanding a one-time scheme on the pattern of the "Delhi solution." In Chandigarh, the administration came up with notifications on need-based changes four times but could not solve the problem. Responding to a question on allowing such changes, the MHA said in July last year, "Certain need-based changes were allowed in relaxation of Chandigarh Building Rules, 2017 by the Chandigarh Housing Board. Chandigarh administration considered the requests in 2022 and decided that the said requests on the Delhi pattern cannot be allowed since Chandigarh is a planned city with a unique architectural character and has high vulnerability to earthquakes as it falls in seismic zone-IV, and unauthorised violations may pose a threat to human life and public property. " Share by sale of property In its January 10, 2023 order, the Supreme Court banned conversion of houses into floor-wise apartments in sectors 1 to 30, saying that these sectors carried heritage status. The SC held that the administration shall not sanction any plan of a building which ex-facie appears to be a modus operandi to convert a single dwelling unit into three different apartments occupied by three strangers. Following the order, UT imposed a ban on registration for share transfers outside the family and approval of building plans for properties co-owned by strangers or non-family members. Since then, many residents have been demanding revocation of the ban on the grounds that the administration misinterpreted the SC order. The MHA, in response to a question by Tiwari in Lok Sabha on the issue last December, stated, "The subject matter of the question is sub-judice before the Punjab and Haryana High Court." Ownership rights for people in resettlement colonies Lakhs of slum dwellers were rehabilitated in colonies with dwelling units leased out to residents for a specific time period on a monthly fee (rent) basis. Many of these colonies are nearing expiry of the lease period and residents are concerned about what will happen afterwards. Since 1980, the UT has constructed 34,965 units in different rehabilitation schemes. In February, the MHA said in the Lok Sabha, "These houses were allotted to economically weaker sections of society on a monthly licence fee or leasehold basis. There is no provision of granting ownership rights in these rehabilitation schemes." Issues In A Nutshell Share by sale of property --SC banned conversion of houses into floor-wise apartments in sectors 1–30 --UT imposed restrictions on share transfers outside families --The matter is currently sub-judice in Punjab and Haryana high court Need-based changes in CHB Houses --Over 3 lakh residents affected --95% of CHB units have undergone changes over 45 years --UT rejected Delhi-style solution citing architectural integrity and seismic risks Abolition of Lal Dora in 22 Villages --Villages included in MC between 2015–2018. --Residents demand regularisation of constructions outside Lal Dora --MHA cited Periphery Control Act, 1952 prohibiting such constructions Ownership rights in resettlement colonies --34,965 units built since 1980 for EWS --Allotted on lease/licence basis --No provision for granting ownership rights, says MHA MSID:: 123308142 413 | Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Chicken Instead Of Paneer? Lucknow Man Claims He Fell Sick After Restaurant Messed Up Order
Last Updated: This mix-up allegedly resulted in the customer suffering a severe food-related disease, leading authorities to conduct an extensive investigation. Order mix-ups in restaurants and food delivery services have become a fairly common occurrence. While not ideal, they are often the result of human error, especially during peak hours, and can usually be addressed through proper training and preventive measures. However, in some cases, customers choose to pursue legal action against restaurant owners. In a recent incident, an FIR was filed against a popular Chinese food brand after a customer alleged that he was served chicken kali mirch instead of the paneer kali mirch he had ordered. This mix-up allegedly resulted in the customer suffering a severe food-related disease, causing authorities to file a complaint and conduct an extensive investigation. What Exactly Happened? Manish Tiwari, a private employee from Pandit Purwa in Indira Nagar, Lucknow, submitted the complaint with the Vibhuti Khand police station. Tiwari recounted the incident, saying he went to a friend's house in the Kamta neighbourhood and the two decided to eat together. They chose a vegetarian dinner and ordered 'paneer kalimirch dry" from a well-known restaurant near Hahnemann crossing through a food delivery app. According to Tiwari, the delivery person arrived on time and handed up what appeared to be their vegetarian order. However, the dish included chicken instead of paneer. Trusting the restaurant's service, the duo ate dinner, unaware that the paneer tasted different. A few minutes after eating, Tiwari claimed that his friend felt sick and suffered from severe vomiting, raising immediate concerns about the food's contents. Now, a video of Tiwari is circulating online, wherein he is seen lashing out at the restaurant workers for serving chicken instead of paneer. लखनऊ- पनीर की जगह चिकन भेजने पर हंगामा। चाइनीज वॉक रेस्टोरेंट पर लगा आरोप। सावन में धार्मिक भावनाएं आहत करने का आरोप। रेस्टोरेंट पर पनीर की जगह चिकन भेजने का आरोप। रेस्टोरेंट में हंगामे का वीडियो हुआ वायरल। पीड़ित ने विभूतिखंड थाने में दी तहरीर।। @lkopolice @Uppolice — MOHD KALEEM ANI NEWS AGENCY (@mohdkaleem36) July 20, 2025 Legal Action Tiwari immediately lodged an FIR against the restaurant at the Vibhuti Khand police and accused them of gross negligence.

STF arrests two drug traffickers involved in cross-border smuggling
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested two drug traffickers allegedly involved in cross-border narcotics smuggling in Lucknow on Wednesday. The duo was caught with 1.54 kilograms of charas—a high-grade cannabis resin—valued at approximately Rs 20 lakh in the international market. The arrest took place near Viraj Tower on Shaheed Path service road under Vibhutikhand police station area. The arrested accused were identified as Manish Tiwari and Sudhir Pandey, both residents of Bihar. STF also recovered 1.54 kg of charas, Rs 1,550 in cash, an Aadhaar card, and two mobile phones from their possession. Deputy SP Pramesh Shukla said that STF was monitoring reports about the smuggling of narcotics from Nepal into various districts of Uttar Pradesh. Acting on specific intelligence, a team detained the suspects based on information from an informant. The accused were allegedly transporting charas from Kanpur to Gorakhpur when they were apprehended in Lucknow. Deputy SP Shukla said that during interrogation, the duo revealed that Sudhir Pandey and Manish's father, Santosh Tripathi, met while imprisoned at Birgunj Jail in Nepal. Santosh is still lodged there in connection with a road accident case. The accused were allegedly working for a Nepal-based smuggler named Sanjeet Shah, who operates a narcotics supply chain from Nepal into Uttar Pradesh. Shukla added that an FIR was registered under NDPS Act Sections 8 and 20.

5G Coverage In Buildings Is Improving—Here's Why
Manish Tiwari, Head of Enterprise 5G for Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions, has worked in networking for over 30 years. Even as an executive of a leading wireless networking company, I will admit that achieving cellular coverage in buildings can be a bit of an adventure. As consumers, we feel it. We go to a school or a large retail store and can't access our apps or maintain a video call. Sometimes, even text messaging is up in the air. I travel quite a bit, and airports often are some of the worst places for cellular coverage. You're left either rolling the dice with the overtaxed guest Wi-Fi network or simply doing without. As a business, you see and hear about it. Customers complain. Loyalty apps falter. Even the ability to place a 911 call during an emergency can be affected, putting safety at risk and making the company liable. To make matters worse, you've probably noticed that usage of cellular for video and other bandwidth-ravenous applications isn't falling or even staying flat. It's exploding. For a while now, the best response to this conundrum has been distributed antenna systems, or DAS. Companies have found a new option worth considering, though. Small cell neutral host solutions offer an intriguing combination of coverage, performance, efficiency and scalability. Enterprises take indoor cellular coverage into their own hands. For many years, the indoor cellular model looked something like this: Organizations purchased enterprise data plans from cellular operators, who invested heavily in macro infrastructure. Simple enough. However, something changed: our habits. A prodigious influx of cellular-connected devices and high-bandwidth applications—especially during the Covid-19 pandemic—created unprecedented demand for excellent cellular coverage in buildings. It's an understandable shift of expectations and needs. Think about hospitals, for instance. Patients, families and staff have important phone calls to make, but many of these older buildings with thick walls and lots of machinery are rife with cellular coverage challenges. Also, consider education buildings, ranging from high schools to college classroom buildings. Potential attacks and other emergencies have made 911 calling a necessity for safety. Spotty coverage is no longer an acceptable option. This rapid shift in cellular usage forced carriers to become more selective about where and to what extent they invest in infrastructure inside buildings. This put more responsibility on individual enterprises to become, well, "enterprising." Some tried cell boosters—basically the use of an amplifier to better pass the macro network signal from outside to inside. But this solution only scales to about 50,000 square feet. Other businesses deployed passive DAS solutions. But this requires extensive infrastructure additions. Plus, passive DAS is problematic because it generally only supports 4G. With 5G in mind, organizations embraced active DAS to improve public cellular coverage in their buildings, stores, hospitals and other challenging spaces. DAS is a neutral host technology, meaning that its infrastructure can support multiple network operators, which ensures coverage for virtually any guest or employee. DAS has helped many companies boost coverage and improve user experience. But this technology presents challenges, too. Active DAS has to convert the signal from analog to digital, which requires lots of cables, connectors, racks and power supply equipment. This also drives up monthly heating, cooling and energy costs. In short, DAS isn't very scalable, not in terms of time to deployment, cost-effectiveness or ongoing management. A new neutral host option gives more control. Many organizations now choose small cells deployed as neutral host networks instead of legacy DAS architecture. This actually utilizes the same infrastructure that cellular operators use, but inside instead of outdoors. Thus, a small cell neutral host fosters the best possible performance, but with a lot less hardware and cabling than is necessary with DAS. Less to deploy. Less to troubleshoot. Lower opex costs. DAS equipment occupies more space than small cell neutral host equipment and uses much less power. Plus, Ericsson's Radio Dot System, for instance, can scale to more than 10 million square feet, which is particularly important in places like indoor arenas, campus buildings, manufacturing plants and warehouses. Small cell neutral host solutions can give enterprises more control than they've ever enjoyed and equip them well for future phases of cellular network evolution. Ask the right questions to address potential challenges. Of course, every solution has its challenges. It's important to have a sound plan based on ROI-related factors and to ask the right questions in advance. There are many cost factors to weigh when choosing an indoor coverage solution. Initially, small cell solutions can cost more than legacy DAS systems. So, the latter might be a good option for a business that only needs medium-grade performance and doesn't plan to scale up for a long time, if ever. On the other hand, enterprises that need advanced capabilities and exceptional signal quality may choose a small cell neutral host, which supports higher performance and multiple operators without adding much infrastructure. Capex and opex, too. Capex investments in racks, hardware, cabling, uninterruptible power supply units and other infrastructure add up quickly. From a long-term perspective, opex considerations regarding power consumption, physical space occupied and retuning fees are important. The design phase of a neutral host deployment is critical, involving detailed floor plans and careful site walk tests to measure coverage gaps and identify existing assets that could be leveraged. This helps lock in the best spots for each radio, finalize the headend layout and fine-tune all other parts of the architecture. You'll need a go-to partner who has agreements and strong relationships with the major carriers, although the carriers can lead the implementation process, too. Partners help you navigate spectrum and radio complexities, address common neutral host challenges and remove friction throughout the solution lifecycle. Enterprises that deploy a small cell neutral host today will be situated nicely for years to come. It's an easily scalable architecture that can accommodate whatever exciting changes are on the horizon. As consumers, we expect more. Enterprises should, too.
