Ghaziabad's Kailash Mansarovar house set to welcome first batch of pilgrims
Ghaziabad : For the first time since its construction in 2020, the Kailash Mansarovar Bhawan in Indirapuram's Shakti Khand-4 will be officially used this year as the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is set to resume after a five-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The first batch of pilgrims are set to arrive by June 11. Mukesh Meshram, principal secretary for Tourism, Culture and Charitable Affairs, visited the Bhawan on Wednesday to assess preparations and directed officials to ensure all facilities are fully operational before their arrival. "Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims should not face any problem in any form. All necessary arrangements must be in place, including transportation, food, rest, and cleanliness," Meshram said during the inspection. The Yatra is scheduled from June 11 to Aug 26, and the facility will now receive groups of 50 pilgrims at a time. This year, 5 batches of 50 Yatris, and 10 batches of 50 Yatris, are scheduled to travel.

Shalarth 'scam': Over 500 teachers recruited fraudulently, says SIT
The special investigation team (SIT) probing the alleged 'Shalarth ID' scam in Maharashtra has found that more than 500 teachers were recruited without following laid down procedures, a senior official said on Sunday. Shalarth is a centralised portal of the Maharashtra government to manage payroll and service records of employees at government and government-aided schools, including teachers. Shalarth ID refers to the teacher identification number allotted to such staffers. "The SIT has found that of the 622 teachers appointed, only 75 had been hired following proper procedures. The remaining 547 were appointed using fake IDs after paying Rs 20-30 lakh each. This means the scam may be worth more than Rs 100 crore," the police official said. SIT in charge and assistant commissioner of police Sunita Meshram said the probe, apart from deputy directors in the education department, is now focusing on education officers and teachers. More arrests are likely in this case, Meshram added. An official said a team had gone to Bhandara on Friday to arrest retired deputy director Satish Mendhe for his alleged involvement, but he was not at his residence. The SIT was formed in April this year to probe how fake identities were used to disburse salaries through the Shalarth portal in Nagpur. Several people have been arrested in the case so far.
