Dhalwad's 4-Lane Flyover and Mehad's 2-lane tunnel now operational
Ramban (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 5 (ANI): The construction of the 500-metre four-lane viaduct (flyover) at Dhalwas and a two-lane 700-metre canopy tunnel at Mehad near Cafeteria Mod on the NH44 has helped in easier movement of vehicles for Amarnath Yatra pilgrims. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) Project Director Shubham Yadav stated that the construction of the flyover and canopy tunnel is a remarkable achievement by the NHAI, as these two spots had been a significant source of trouble on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH44) for passengers and commuters. 'The construction of both these projects is a big achievement for NHAI, as the two places were a big trouble on NH 44 for the passengers and commuters. Due to landslides and debris during rainfall, the traffic on NH 44 would be disrupted. A lot of people have also died on this highway due to the debris... Now, because of the timely construction of these two structures on these two most landslide-vulnerable spots on the NH44, the movement of the vehicles of Amarnath Yatra, tourists and fruit-laden heavy trucks besides routine local traffic has become hassle-free and smooth,' Yadav told ANI. Yadav gave credit for the achievement to the unflinching support of the Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways(MORT&H) Nitin Gadkari, Secretary (MORT&H) V Umashankar, NHAI Chairman Santosh Yadav, Regional Officer RS Yadav and former Project Director Purshottam Kumar. Earlier in Ramban on July 3, 17 medical camps were set up at langar sites along with mini hospitals. Ambulances were also deployed for the Amarnath Yatra. Ramban Chief Medical Officer Kamal Zadoo told ANI, 'On behalf of the health department, we have set up 17 camps at langar sites and lodgement centres across Ramban district from Nashri tunnel to Navyug tunnel. Mini hospitals have been established at Yatri Niwas Chanderkot and Lambhar Ground, featuring a four-bed indoor facility, a laboratory, and an ECG unit. We have also placed cardiac monitors there this year. Two ambulances have been deployed at Yatri Niwas Chanderkot, the Langar Site in Chanderkot, and Lambhar Ground. We have also kept back-up ambulances for any untoward incidents...' 'The National Highway Authority and the administration have provided four additional ambulances, which we have deployed for yatra duty'. (ANI)

Man Alleges Rape After Forced Sex Change, Accuses Friend Of Blackmailing
In a deeply disturbing case that raises troubling questions about bodily autonomy, medical ethics and sexual exploitation, a 27-year-old person in Madhya Pradesh has accused his friend of coercing him into undergoing a sex reassignment surgery and subsequently raping and blackmailing him. The Gandhi Nagar police station in Bhopal has registered a zero FIR in the case, which will now be transferred to Narmadapuram where the alleged crime took place. According to the police and the victim's complaint, the man - originally from the Obedullaganj area near Bhopal - became friends with Shubham Yadav, a resident of Narmadapuram, after meeting him during visits to his sister's in-laws' home. The two grew close, and a romantic relationship developed. What began as emotional intimacy allegedly soon turned into a horrifying saga of manipulation. Police officials told NDTV that the victim, a 25-year-old from rural Bhopal, had been living on rent with Shubham in the Ashoka Garden area of the city. During this time, Shubham allegedly began expressing romantic interest in him. According to the victim, a few months ago, Shubham took him to a private hospital in Bhopal's MP Nagar, citing a check-up for persistent headaches. However, without his knowledge or informed consent, the accused began giving him hormone therapy, disguised as medication for his supposed ailment. "Within a month, I started noticing changes in my body, and I was extremely confused and scared," the victim told police. Before he could fully comprehend what was happening, Shubham allegedly took him to Indore, where a sex reassignment surgery was carried out, forcibly turning him from a male to female - a traumatic, irreversible step that reportedly cost them nearly Rs 5 lakh. After the surgery, the accused allegedly called the victim back to Narmadapuram, where he sexually exploited the victim again. But the ordeal did not stop there - Shubham is now accused of blackmailing the victim for Rs 10 lakh, threatening to ruin their life if the money was not paid. Police Confirm Complaint, Case Diary Transferred Gandhi Nagar police station in-charge Vijendra Marscole confirmed to NDTV: "Based on the victim's complaint, we have registered a zero FIR. The case involves serious allegations of physical exploitation and blackmail. Since the incident primarily occurred in Narmadapuram, the case diary will be sent there for further investigation." Medical experts and human rights activists are alarmed. "This is not just a case of rape or blackmail. This is medical assault and identity manipulation. The system must be held accountable," said an activist, who works with transgender individuals. As of now, no arrests have been made. The police say they will record further statements and examine medical records from both the Bhopal and Indore hospitals involved.

Cops trace 990 lost cellphones using CEIR portal in five months
Lucknow: The Lucknow police has recovered 990 lost or stolen mobile phones between Jan and mid-May, out of around 1,100 complaints registered. The recovery rate stands at an 90%, showcasing how digital platforms like the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR) have revolutionised mobile theft tracking across India. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This translates to an average of nearly 7-8 phones being returned to their owners every day. The credit for this largely goes to the CEIR portal of the department of telecommunications (DoT) under the govt of India, which empowers police to trace and block mobile devices using their International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI ) numbers. "Before CEIR, tracing lost phones across telecom circles was complex and time-consuming. Now, we can immediately block a device once the IMEI is entered in the portal. It is a powerful deterrent for mobile thieves and a great support system for citizens. The moment we block an IMEI via CEIR, the device becomes useless on any Indian telecom network. That alone has drastically reduced the market value of stolen devices," said DCP East Zone, Shashank Singh. Shubham Yadav, a 27-year-old software engineer from Indiranagar, lost his phone in Jan. "I filled out the complaint on the CEIR portal," he said. Three weeks later, the phone was traced to a shop in Sitapur, where someone tried to use a new SIM. "I got a call from the cybercell that my phone was found and was being returned. All my work contacts and data were on that device," Shubham said. In another case, college student Prerna Singh had her phone snatched while waiting for an auto in Mahanagar. "I reported the snatching to the local police and submitted the FIR copy on the CEIR site the same evening," she said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Within 10 days, the phone was tracked when it connected to a network in Unnao, and a suspect was identified through tower dump data and IMEI tracing. "They not only recovered my phone but also arrested the person who had a record of similar offences," Prerna said. Former IPS officer and cyber expert, Triveni Singh said that the CEIR platform allows users to block a lost or stolen mobile by entering their IMEI number, uploading a copy of their police complaint or FIR, and verifying their identity. "The phone is blacklisted across all telecom operators in India. If the device is found or switched on anywhere, law enforcement is alerted. Police can then initiate recovery by tracking the device's activity via cell tower triangulation and location pings," he said. "It's like an Aadhaar for phones. Every device has a digital fingerprint. Once blocked, it is useless to thieves but priceless to us," said a senior cybercell officer. The police have urged citizens to note down their IMEI numbers (printed on the device box or dial *#06# on the phone) and act fast when a device is lost. "It's no longer about chasing after criminals blindly. With data and digital footprints, we can now outsmart them," said ACP Mahanagar, Neha Tripathi.
