P'garh jailor suspended for misconduct, service lapses
The suspension was based on a probe by DIG prisons, Prayagraj range, Rajesh Srivastava. The inquiry, supported by staff testimonies and documentary evidence, concluded that Singh's conduct was indecent, undignified, and in violation of the UP govt Servants Conduct Rules.
Officials said Singh routinely denied urgent leave requests from jail staff and refused to comply with legitimate directives from his seniors. His behaviour created a hostile work environment, affecting prison administration and staff morale.
Following the inquiry, the jail administration and reform services department recommended departmental disciplinary action. Singh will remain under suspension pending the outcome of further proceedings.

Petrol, diesel sale in unauthorised containers to attract prosecution under Petroleum and Explosives Act in Odisha
BHUBANESWAR: The state government on August 2 asked district collectors to strictly enforce the ban on sale, supply and storage of petroleum products, including petrol and diesel, in plastic bottles or unauthorised containers. It also warned that the violators will be prosecuted as per the provisions of law, including the Petroleum and Explosives Acts. The Government asked the petrol bunks to display the message prominently in both Odia and English. Issuing a directive to this effect, Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare secretary Sanjay Kumar Singh, told collectors that unfair practice of selling and transporting petroleum products, both Motor Spirit and High-Speed Diesel (MS and HSD) in unapproved containers, poses serious threats to public safety and the environment. Notably, these highly inflammable substances, petrol and diesel in particular, are being widely sold and transported in plastic bottles and unapproved containers in different parts of the state, which is a violation of the statutory provisions of multiple acts.

Bengaluru: Two arrested for abusing actor Ramya online; 11 more identified
Bengaluru, Aug 2 (PTI) Two individuals were arrested by the Central Crime Branch for posting obscene messages and 'issuing rape and death threats" to former Mandya MP and actor Ramya, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said on Saturday. The arrests were made based on a complaint filed by Ramya earlier this week. Addressing reporters, Singh said 11 more individuals have been identified for their direct involvement in posting 'abusive content online" and will be arrested soon. Ramya, aka Divya Spandana, met the Commissioner on July 28 to file a complaint against 43 social media accounts for sending her obscene messages, along with 'rape and death threats". The online abuse began after she shared a news report on July 24 about the Renukaswamy murder case proceedings in the Supreme Court, in which she demanded justice for the victim's family. Kannada actor Darshan is a prime accused in the case. Following a verification process, the CCB, along with the social media monitoring team, identified 13 accounts that were actively involved in the abuse, Singh said. The two arrested individuals hail from neighbouring districts, he added. When asked whether the accused were fans of actor Darshan, the Commissioner said that aspect was still under investigation. 'CCB and cybercrime police are actively working on the case," he said. Meanwhile, Ramya took to 'X' on Saturday to thank Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara, the Bengaluru Police Commissioner, and the entire CCB team for their swift action. 'The Bangaluru city police have taken a firm stand against misogynistic aggression. Legal action has been initiated," she posted. The message is clear, Ramya said. 'It is difficult to escape the hand of the law when it comes to protecting women's dignity and ensuring their safety in our city."
