Paw-fect trail of devotion: Pet parents are taking their fur babies on pilgrimages, spiritual sojourns
From the dhams in Uttarakhand to the temples in Himachal Pradesh — pet parents are now determined to take their fur babies along on their devotional journeys to these religious trails. From Hemkund Sahib Yatra to Manali's Hidimba Devi Temple, pet parents are visiting spiritual places but not without their furry buddies. Take for instance, Canada-based accountant Gundeep Kaur Makkar, whose Shih Tzu, Oreo, came along for the Hemkund Sahib Yatra. A Reel of their spiritual sojourn clocked over 500k views and 43k likes. 'We truly believe he was called by the Almighty... and it just felt right to have Oreo with us. We planned everything carefully to ensure his comfort,' she shares. Gundeep Kaur Makkar took Oreo to Shri Hemkund Sahib and a Reel of their journey went viral with over 500k views and 43k likes. Backpacks are being packed with pet bowls, leashes, and treats. And there's also the matter of other logistics. 'We ensured all necessary vaccinations, food, leash and bedding,' informs Sumita Saha, a Delhi-based artist-food blogger. Her Beagle, Euro, accompanied her to Almora's Kasar Devi Temple. 'The best part was that we were able to take him inside the temple to seek blessings,' she adds. Sumita Saha made sure Euro got all necessary vaccines before going to Almora's Kasar Devi Temple, and carried food, leash and bedding for him. There's also the matter of altitude and travel stress. So, Ritul Pranav Saxena, a Noida-based journalism graduate, consulted with a vet before taking his cat, Billu, to Manali's Hidimba Devi Temple, and also ensured he had appropriate equipment for the rought terrains. 'I packed a comfortable harness and leash, dry pet foods, water bottle and bowls, lightweight foldable bed, and paw protectors,' he tells us, adding, 'I kept talking to Billu throughout, like a little buddy. It made this pilgrimage unforgettable!' Lakshita Anand and Copper visited Shri Ambika Devi's Mandir in Ambala, with carefully curated rest, meal, and hydration plans. Lakshita Anand, a Faridabad-based college aspirant, took her Dobermann, Copper, along to Ambala's Ambika Devi Mandir: 'It was heartwarming to see him being welcomed by others at the temple... This yatra brought us a deep sense of fulfilment and made our bond stronger.' Story by Aditya Zharotia For more, follow HT City Delhi Junction

Haryana rights panel imposes Rs 50k fine on home dept after cops disrobe disabled CA in custody, allow man to click photos
The Haryana Human Rights Commission has imposed a penalty of Rs 50,000 on the state Home Department for disrobing a disabled Chartered Accountant and allowing his brother-in-law to take his semi-nude pictures and videos, which were then circulated on social media. 'Such cruel and disregarding treatment, particularly of a person with a disability, is utterly unacceptable in a civilised society,' the full bench of the Commission, led by Justice Lalit Batra, ruled in the order released on Wednesday. The Commission, which also comprises Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, has allowed the department to recover the penalty from the errant police officers, identified as Assistant Sub-Inspector Jagwati and Constable Rakesh Kumar. Reacting to the order, the Faridabad-based complainant Anil Thakur said, 'Justice may have been delayed, but it has finally arrived. The violation of my dignity has been acknowledged'. Thakur was arrested on May 24, 2021, in connection with a criminal case. In his complaint, he alleged that while in custody at Saran police station in Faridabad, he was stripped, photographed, and filmed in a semi-naked condition, and that the images were later circulated. The incident, he stated, caused him extreme mental trauma and public humiliation, and gravely violated his human rights. Over the last four years, as the Faridabad police continued to defend its officers and failed to supply the CCTV footage of the incident, the Commission carried out a probe through its investigation wing. 'An impartial inquiry conducted by the Commission's Investigation Wing confirmed that ASI Jagwati and Constable Rakesh Kumar had indeed compelled Mr Thakur to undress in custody. Shockingly, they even permitted his relative (brother-in-law) to record videos and take photos during his detention. This not only breached police conduct rules but also trampled upon the complainant's privacy, dignity, and mental well-being', the Commission pointed out. In its detailed and strongly worded order, the Commission observed: 'This incident challenges the very spirit of constitutional values and the notion of human dignity. No individual — regardless of the accusations against them — deserves to be subjected to such humiliation and public exposure. This act is a direct violation of the Right to Life and Personal Liberty enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution'. 'As a result of the incident, the complainant has reported persistent emotional trauma, humiliation and depression, which amounts to mental agony in a custodial environment. The psychological consequences arising from being stopped in police custody are long-lasting and amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, entitling the complainant to judicial protection, redressal and appropriate compensation under constitutional and human rights law,' the Commission said in its order. Dr Puneet Arora, Protocol, Information & Public Relations Officer of the Commission, informed that as per the panel's directions, 'the Home Department of the Government of Haryana has been ordered to pay Rs 50,000 as compensation to the victim… While symbolic in nature, the compensation reflects the state's recognition of its responsibility to uphold the dignity of every citizen'. 'Police custody must not turn into a site of torture and shame. This order sends a clear message that the system will not tolerate custodial abuse or the misuse of power,' added Dr Arora.
