Police recover stolen tractor from Hry after Cong MLA's complaint
1 2 Jaipur: Nearly two weeks after a tractor trolley was allegedly stolen from the residence of Dausa Congress MLA Deen Dayal Bairwa in Dausa, police recovered the vehicle from Haryana Saturday. A car used by the suspects involved in the theft was also seized, but the thieves managed to escape and have not yet been arrested. Police searched for the tractor trolley after the legislator took to X on July 7 and claimed that he was targeted by thieves three times in a month. Bairwa said that first his mobile phone was stolen, then a motorcycle from his home, and finally, a tractor trolley was taken. A police officer, however, clarified that the MLA was not the owner of the tractor trolley and it was not parked inside his residence. "The tractor belonged to Fateh Singh Gurjar, a resident of the Bassi area in Jaipur. He filed a complaint about the vehicle theft that occurred on July 6, after which teams were formed to trace it," the officer said. According to police, CCTV footage and technical investigation helped track the vehicle to Palwal district in Haryana. Raids were carried out at the location where the tractor trolley was being hidden, but the suspects managed to escape. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo A car was seized from the spot during the operation. The officer added that the MLA had no direct connection with the theft other than the fact that it occurred near his residence. Following the series of incidents, Bairwa posted on X, writing, "In Dausa, thieves are becoming more daring, and the police seem to be just a name. The theft of my mobile on June 11, the motorcycle from my residence on June 14, and now the tractor trolley last night raises questions about law and order. I urge the police to take swift action." After Bairwa's post, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully also criticised the state govt over the situation.

Assembly getting digital-ready for monsoon session
New Delhi: The monsoon session of Delhi Assembly is likely in the first week of Aug, with preparations under way for a digitally enabled House. A week-long session has been proposed, officials said. Ahead of it, the assembly will launch a three-day digital training programme for MLAs from July 21, aimed at familiarising them with National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA). Speaker Vijender Gupta will inaugurate the NeVA Training Centre at the Vidhan Sabha Complex. Expert trainers from ministry of parliamentary affairs (MoPA) will conduct the sessions from July 21–23, equipping legislators for paperless, efficient governance. "Digital transformation is no longer a choice but a necessity for people-centric legislation," Gupta said. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A key agenda item for the session is a bill to regulate private school fees, based on an ordinance cleared by the Cabinet on April 29. The draft proposes strict penalties — ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10 lakh — for arbitrary fee hikes, and mandates refunds within 20 working days. Repeated violations could result in the school losing its right to propose fee revisions. If the refund isn't processed on time, the fine will double after 20 days, triple after 40, and continue to rise with every 20-day delay. Those repeatedly flouting norms may be barred from holding official posts in school management. The school may also forfeit its authority to revise fees. The ordinance aims to "strike a balance between preserving the autonomy of private institutions and safeguarding the rights of parents", while ensuring quality education remains "accessible and fairly priced". It also proposes setting up three committees — at the school, district, and revision levels— with the 'Revision Committee' holding final authority on disputes. The session is also expected to see the opposition AAP cornering BJP on civic issues, including waterlogging, Yamuna pollution, and drinking water supply. Officials said the NeVA training will serve as a precursor to the session, enabling paperless functioning and promoting transparency, efficiency, and sustainability. Eighteen computers have been installed at the new NeVA Training Centre. The first batch of MLAs will begin training on Monday. The launch reflects Delhi Assembly's push toward "modern, accountable, and citizen-centric legislative practices," Gupta said.

'Those trying to defame kanwar yatra will face action': Yogi Adityanath
UP CM Yogi Adityanath MEERUT: Miscreants posing as kanwariyas to incite violence and defame the pilgrimage will face strict action, including public naming through posters once the yatra concludes, UP CM Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday. He inspected arrangements and interacted with pilgrims along NH-58. He said miscreants were deliberately infiltrating groups of kanwariyas and indulging in hooliganism to tarnish the image of the yatra. 'Troublemakers have resorted to defame this holy pilgrimage. We have CCTV footage of such elements. We will paste their posters after the yatra is over. Any attempt to disrupt the yatra or compromise its sanctity will be dealt with strictly,' he said. Demonstrating respect for the pilgrims' faith, Yogi showered flower petals on kanwariyas in Meerut and from a helicopter in other districts of western UP. 'From tomorrow, lakhs of Shiv devotees from various states will carry water in the form of kanwar and perform jalabhishek in various Shiv temples. I heartily welcome all the devotees bringing holy Gangajal from Haridwar,' he said. Objecting to a 'media trial' of devotees, Yogi said sections of the media were portraying kanwariyas as rioters, which was an 'insult to India's heritage'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He said social media was filled with videos showing individuals in saffron creating ruckus, ransacking hotels, damaging vehicles and assaulting civilians, and claimed these were not genuine devotees but anti-social elements wearing saffron to malign the pilgrimage. 'Where there is enthusiasm and excitement, faith and devotion, some people try to disturb celebrations and defame devotion and faith,' he said. 'While most devotees uphold the sanctity of the yatra, some anti-social elements are conspiring to malign it. It is the responsibility of every kanwar sangh and every Shiv bhakt to expose such elements. Do not allow them to enter your circle. Immediately inform the administration if you spot such people.' Yogi urged pilgrims not to retaliate if provoked and assured that the administration was fully prepared to take legal action. 'No one should take the law into their own hands. The administration is there to act if any such miscreant desecrates the yatra,' he said. He said that unlike previous govts that 'created obstacles for such pilgrimages before 2017', the current govt respected the faith of devotees. 'It is our responsibility to take this tradition forward with the same sacred sentiment,' he said. The CM appealed to pilgrims to avoid littering, join cleanliness campaigns and ensure that no river or road was left dirty. 'Shiv bhakts should walk with a spirit of public welfare and remain mindful of not causing inconvenience to others. ' The state, he added, had arranged for drinking water, first-aid stations, lighting, rest camps and other facilities.
