Jharkhand: 2 arrested over Hul Diwas clash
'Based on information from Sahebganj Police, we arrested two individuals in connection with the Bhognadih incident,' Godda Superintendent of Police (SP) Mukesh Kumar told reporters. Illegal arms and other items were seized from their possession, and one of the accused is allegedly linked to a senior leader of a political party in Jharkhand, he said. Ranchi, Jun 1 (PTI) Two persons were arrested in Jharkhand's Godda district on Tuesday in connection with a clash between a group of villagers and the police in Sahebganj's Bhognadih during Hul Diwas celebrations on the previous day, a senior officer said. Kumar said the accused were identified as Sudhir Kumar, a resident of Jamshedpur, and Ganesh Mandal, a resident of Odisha. The police on Monday fired tear gas shells and baton-charged a group of people protesting the dismantling of a stage allegedly by Sahebganj district administration ahead of an official function to mark 'Hul Diwas' in Bhognadih. Police had to resort to mild lathi-charge and use tear gas shells as some of the villagers attacked the personnel using bows and arrows, in which some policemen were also injured, an official said. Bhognadih is the birthplace of tribal icons Sido and Kanhu Murmu, brothers who led the Santhal rebellion against the British rule and local landlords in 1855-56. 'Hul Diwas' is observed on June 30 to commemorate the tribal uprising. The Godda SP said, 'The accused had been actively moving around Borio, Barhait, and Sahebganj areas in Sahebganj district since June 20, allegedly distributing sarees, dhotis, and money among villagers to incite disturbances on Hul Diwas. An FIR has been lodged against them in Sahebganj. We were subsequently informed of their presence in Godda.' The SP noted that one of the accused is reportedly linked to a senior leader of a political party. 'We are verifying his political connections,' he said.

Tribal heroes honoured on Hul Diwas
1 2 Ranchi: Hul Diwas was solemnly observed across Ranchi on Monday to commemorate the valiant tribal uprising of 1855 led by Sido and Kanhu Murmu. While chief minister Hemant Soren paid floral tributes at Jharkhand Bhavan in New Delhi alongside his wife and Gandey MLA Kalpana, district and police officials in Ranchi honoured the tribal freedom fighters. "Sido-Kanhu were the torch-bearers of resistance against colonial injustice. Their courage gave a new direction to the freedom struggle, long before 1857," said Hemant in Delhi. "Hul was not just a revolt, it was a call for dignity, land, and identity. Today, we remember them not as martyrs of the past, but as symbols of ongoing justice for tribal communities," Soren added. In Ranchi, deputy commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri, along with senior superintendent of police Chandan Sinha, paid floral tribute at the Sido-Kanhu statue erected at the Sido-Kanhu Park, Kanke Road. "Hul reminds us that justice and rights must be fought for with courage. Sido-Kanhu and other tribal leaders' sacrifice continues to inspire us to build an inclusive, equitable society," said Bhajantri. "Hul was a fight not only for land, but for dignity and rights. The courage Sido-Kanhu showed in mobilising 10,000 Santhals against the British is an inspiration even today. Understanding our roots helps build a more just future," said Sinha. Members of the adivasi community, many dressed in traditional attire, gathered at the park. "Hul Diwas is sacred to us. Our ancestors stood up against injustice that gives us strength even today," said Premshahi Munda, a tribal leader. Birhu Tudu, a resident from Kanke, said, "We hope the govt ensures our youth know this history. Hul was Jharkhand's history, and it should be preserved forever." As Jharkhand marked the day with solemn remembrance, the legacy of Sido and Kanhu continues to resonate in the voices of those still striving for equality and recognition.
