Patna: Director general of police (DGP) Vinay Kumar said here on Saturday that at least one police officer from each police station would be made a nodal officer to work in tandem with the representatives of the gram panchayat and gram kutchahary concerned to control crime in the region effectively.
Addressing a workshop on the "Role of police in the local govt", organised by the office of the chair professor of panchayati raj at Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) here, the DGP said if petty crimes are nipped in the bud at the local level, more than 80% of crimes would automatically end in the state. He requested the chair professor of panchayati raj to impart training to the inspectors and DSP-level officials regarding the effective functioning of the panchayati raj system.
State panchayati raj department's director, Prashant Kumar, stressed the need for training for the elected representatives of the local govt. He said in order to strengthen the panchayati raj system, 8,093 lower division clerks are going to be appointed soon. He pointed out that any common man can lodge a case in gram kutchahary through an online portal.
CNLU registrar and panchayati raj chair professor S P Singh, in his welcome address, pointed out that the panchayati raj system originated well before the independence of the country and Bihar is the first state to introduce the concept of gram katchahary under Section 49 of the Bihar Panchayati Raj Act, 1947.

Biz class felt most insecureduring SP govt, says Khanna
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh finance minister Suresh Khanna launched a sharp attack on Akhilesh Yadav , calling the SP chief's allegations that business class was facing "socio-economic emergency" as baseless and asserted that the business community was most insecure under the Samajwadi Party govt. MLAs Neeraj Bora and Rajeshwar Singh supported Khanna's remarks and added that the Yogi govt had ended the era of "recovery brothers". "Yogi-led double engine govt has made UP mafia-free and business-friendly. The very business community Akhilesh Yadav speaks of today felt most threatened and insecure during the SP govt (2012-2017). Extortion, hooliganism, and commission-taking were central to the functioning of the SP govt, which operated on a model of "one district, one recovery brother" to fill party's coffers through trader exploitation," Khanna said. Khanna said that under the current double engine govt, the business community was actively contributing to the state's development by benefiting from transparent policies. He added that the double engine govt had effectively imposed an "emergency" on those who indulged in extortion and hooliganism during SP govt. "No new tax has been imposed in Uttar Pradesh in the last eight years. Diesel-petrol rates are the lowest in the country, and the state is moving towards prosperity by becoming a revenue surplus state," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo MLA Neeraj Bora criticised Akhilesh for aligning with those who once imposed the Emergency, adding that in today's mafia-free UP, extortion was no longer possible. MLA Rajeshwar Singh said under the SP govt, UP saw over 25,000 murders and 76,500 crimes daily, forcing traders to flee amid rampant extortion and fear. "Zero-tolerance policy against crime led to action against over 70,000 criminals," he said.

Hong Kong's last active pro-democracy party, League of Social Democrats, disbands amid intense political pressure
Hong Kong 's last remaining active pro-democracy party, the League of Social Democrats (LSD), has officially disbanded, marking a historic turning point in the city's political landscape as Beijing 's crackdown on dissent reaches unprecedented levels. The LSD announced its dissolution on June 29, 2025, after 19 years of advocacy for democratic reform and grassroots rights. Party leadership cited 'immense political pressure' and growing concerns for the safety of its members as the primary reasons for the unanimous decision to disband. This move comes amid a years-long campaign by Beijing to suppress opposition, particularly following the 2019 mass protests and the imposition of the sweeping national security law in 2020. That law led to the prosecution, jailing, or exile of most pro-democracy activists and forced the closure of dozens of civil society groups and independent media outlets. The LSD was the last pro-democracy group still staging occasional street protests and operating public booths, even as police surveillance and legal risks intensified. At a press conference, party chair Chan Po-ying expressed both pride in the party's legacy and deep sadness at its closure, acknowledging that 'the road has narrowed beyond passage' and stating, 'we have no other choice' but to step aside. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Founded in 2006, the LSD was known for its radical approach, colorful protests, and vocal criticism of both social inequality and Beijing's tightening grip on Hong Kong. At its peak in 2008, the party held three seats in the city's legislature and played a key role in mainstreaming a more confrontational pro-democracy agenda. The party's decline accelerated after the 2020 national security law, which critics argue has 'quelled dissent and curbed rights,' with many of its leaders jailed or fined for protest activities. The disbandment of the LSD follows the closure of other major opposition parties, including the Civic Party in 2023 and the Democratic Party's winding down in early 2025. Live Events As a result, Hong Kong is now left with no organized pro-democracy opposition capable of mounting public protests or challenging the government openly. The dissolution of the LSD is widely seen as the final blow to Hong Kong's formal pro-democracy movement, signaling the effective end of organized opposition and public protest in the city under Beijing's rule. Chan Po-ying warned that the 'domino effect' of disbandments is not over, stating, 'After the Democratic Party it was the League of Social Democrats. After us, who's next?' The international community and human rights observers have expressed grave concern over the shrinking space for civil society and political freedom in Hong Kong.
