The JDA team, led by Tehsildar Megha Gupta and assisted by police, carried out the demolition operation against the 'illegally' constructed residential structure at Rajeev Nagar in Tehsil Bahu, they said. The property belonged to Reena alias Roopa, wife of Bobby, a notorious drug peddler from Rajeev Nagar. Jammu, Jul 21 (PTI) Jammu Development Authority (JDA) on Monday demolished a residential house allegedly illegally constructed by a drug peddler on the authority's land in Jammu city, officials said. The demolished property belonged to Reena, a notorious drug peddler with a criminal background, against whom multiple cases have been registered in the city, they said. She was also detained under the Public Safety Act in 2019 due to her continued involvement in the drug trade and threat to public order, they added. On July 31, 2024, police successfully obtained confirmation of property attachment orders against Reena and three other notorious drug peddlers from the Rajeev Nagar and Ragoora areas. The property was identified as having been acquired through proceeds of narcotic drug trafficking, they said. PTI AB AMJ AMJ This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Musk's X Calls French Foreign Interference Probe "Politically Motivated", Refuses To Cooperate
A French probe into alleged foreign interference and bias via the algorithm at Elon Musk-owned social network X is "politically motivated", the company said in a post Monday, adding that it was refusing to cooperate. "X believes that this investigation is distorting French law in order to serve a political agenda and, ultimately, restrict free speech," the social network said. It added that it "has not acceded to the French authorities' demands" to access its recommendation algorithm and real-time data, "as we have a legal right to do". Cybercrime prosecutors announced the opening of the probe on July 11 into suspected crimes including manipulating and extracting data from automated systems "as part of a criminal gang". The move followed two complaints received in January about "foreign interference" in French politics via X -- one of them from Eric Bothorel, an MP from President Emmanuel Macron's centrist party. Bothorel had complained of "reduced diversity of voices and options" and Musk's "personal interventions" on the network since his 2022 takeover of the former Twitter. The Tesla and SpaceX chief has raised hackles in Europe with political sallies, including vocal backing for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party ahead of February legislative elections. "Democracy is too fragile to let digital platform owners tell us what to think, who to vote for or even who to hate," Bothorel said after the investigation was announced. The company responded Monday saying, "Mr Bothorel has accused X of manipulating its algorithm for 'foreign interference' purposes, an allegation which is completely false." Prosecutors have not confirmed whether they are also investigating under a French law against foreign interference in politics passed last year. X also complained of bias in French authorities' choice of experts to examine its algorithm, including mathematician David Chavalarias and computer scientist Maziyar Panahi. Both have been involved in a scheme called "HelloQuitteX", designed to make it easier for users to migrate their X presence to other social networks. Picking them "raises serious concerns about the impartiality, fairness and political motivations of the investigation", the company said. It also objected to the use of the "organised gang" aggravating circumstance. The characterisation "is usually reserved for drug cartels or mafia groups" and "enables the French police to deploy extensive investigative powers... including wiretapping the personal devices of X employees," the company said.

MP HC issues notices over denial of RTI info to JMC employee despite order
Bhopal/Jabalpur: The MP High Court issued notices to a state information commissioner, the Commissioner of Jabalpur municipal corporation (JMC), and the chief information officer of JMC. This was in response to a petition by an employee of the JMC, who was not given the information he desired under the RTI Act, despite an order from the MP high court. The petitioner, Shivmohan Dwivedi, stated that he works with the JMC as an assistant. He was charged with furnishing incorrect information about posts available in the JMC, leading to an appointment on compassionate grounds based on the wrong information received from him. A charge sheet was issued to him in April 2016. The investigation officer was changed three times. When he sought a copy of the inquiry report under RTI, he was refused the information. On November 18, 2024, the MP High Court asked the JMC to furnish him with the desired information within 30 days. Subsequently, the State Information Commission also asked the JMC to provide the information sought under RTI and warned of imposing costs otherwise. When the order was not complied with, a probe against the concerned JMC officials was also ordered. The officers concerned replied that the report was with the JMC Commissioner and that if he ordered, a copy of the report would be provided. Following this, Dubey moved the HC again. Following initial arguments, the bench of Justice Vishal Mishra issued notices to the respondents seeking a
