Patna: Bihar Regimental Centre (BRC) at Danapur Cantonment on Sunday commemorated the foundation day of its 10th and 11th battalions with solemn ceremonies and heartfelt tributes to fallen soldiers who embodied courage and service to the nation.
The 10th Battalion was raised on June 1, 1966 at Ramgarh Cantonment under the leadership of Lt Colonel L W Bingle while the 11th Battalion was established on June 1, 1971 by Lt Colonel R K Kala at Danapur. Both units have built a formidable legacy through their involvement in key counter-insurgency operations in Nagaland, Mizoram, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and Assam, said BRC Commandant Brigadier Kamaldeep Jaspal.
Brigadier Jaspal led a ceremonial wreath-laying on the BRC grounds, paying homage to the martyrs of both battalions.
"These battalions have stood as bastions of strength in some of the most challenging terrains and situations in the country. Their contributions to preserving national security and peace are a source of pride and inspiration for all of us," he said.
The event included a regimental parade and a commemorative session highlighting the battalions' operational achievements. Families of fallen soldiers, serving jawans and local dignitaries attended the ceremony, which a BRC official described as a reminder of the regiment's legacy.

Govt's affidavit to SC comes in way of road planned through Sariska
Jaipur: Forest department's plan to construct a black-topped road up to Pandupol temple in Sariska Tiger Reserve has encountered a legal roadblock due to a prior commitment made before the Supreme Court. The route to Pandupol passes through the reserve's core zone, a crucial habitat for tigers and other wildlife, while also serving as a significant pilgrimage corridor, with lakhs of devotees visiting the ancient Hanuman temple every year. To assess feasibility of constructing a paved road in this ecologically sensitive stretch, the Sariska administration sought legal opinion from the additional advocate general (AAG). In response, the AAG categorically stated that the state govt cannot proceed with the plan, having already filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court pledging that no such construction would take place. Any deviation from this assurance, the AAG said, would first require approval from the apex court. An official familiar with the matter said, "The road improvement was initially part of a broader plan to introduce electric bus services within the reserve. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo To support this initiative, the Central Empowered Committee (CEC) recommended strengthening the route from Sadar Gate and Tehla Gate to the Pandupol temple, while explicitly advising against black-topping. Based on these recommendations, the Sariska administration received a sanction of Rs 7.4 crore to construct high-quality gravel roads along the Sadar–Pandupol and Tehla–Kalighati corridors. " Given the legal constraints, the use of alternative, eco-friendly technologies was advised. "In the absence of Supreme Court approval, constructing a tarred road would directly violate the govt's own sworn affidavit. Instead, it was recommended that techniques such as stabilised soil, gravel surfacing, interlocking paver blocks, or murram be used. These methods are not only environmentally sustainable but have also been effectively implemented in other tiger reserves like Bandhavgarh, Corbett, Kanha, and Kaziranga," the official added. He further noted that if these alternative techniques later prove inadequate in terms of safety, traffic flow, or long-term durability, the state govt still has the option to file a fresh application before the Supreme Court. "However, the govt will need to convincingly demonstrate that constructing a black-topped road is essential to both ecological balance and public interest," he said.

Rs5 Crore Allocation for Eco-Friendly Crematoriums
Nagpur: The civic body has allocated ₹5 crore in the current fiscal year to install air pollution control systems at major crematoriums across the city. In the first phase, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is installing systems at Gangabai Ghat, Mokshadham, and Manewada crematoriums—locations with high cremation volumes. Other crematoriums will be covered in subsequent phases as part of a broader initiative to make all cremation grounds environmentally sustainable. The initiative was discussed during a recent review meeting of the city-level committee overseeing the implementation of the air pollution control action plan. The meeting, chaired by NMC Commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari, also focused on expediting other measures aimed at improving Nagpur's air quality. Among the steps discussed, the civic body has proposed an additional ₹2 crore for installing sprinklers in air pollution hotspots. "A trial conducted by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (Neeri) in densely populated and high-traffic areas—such as HB Town, Lakadganj, Pardi, and other eastern localities—showed that water sprinkling significantly improved air quality," said Shweta Banerjee, superintending engineer (PHE). 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 "According to Neeri's study, levels of suspended particulate matter dropped markedly with regular sprinkling. Additionally, mechanical sweeping machines deployed in these same hotspots have helped reduce dust pollution, further supporting the city's clean air efforts," she added. To enhance green cover, NMC has earmarked ₹5 crore for 2025–26 for developing new green spaces. The meeting also reviewed plantation and beautification works undertaken in the past three financial years—2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25. The commissioner instructed officials to expedite the completion of ongoing projects and submit detailed progress reports to the state-level air quality control committee. The meeting was attended by senior officials, including additional commissioner Vasumana Pant, chief engineer Manoj Talewar, deputy commissioners Rajesh Bhagat and Ganesh Rathod, as well as representatives from Neeri and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). Senior engineers and department heads from the sanitation and garden departments also attended the meeting.
