Condo residents, upkeep staff come to blows over outage, 4 held in Noida

Noida: A late-night argument over a power outage at Ecovillage-1 in Greater Noida West turned violent around Thursday midnight when maintenance staff allegedly assaulted residents with sticks, leaving several of them injured. Four staffers of the maintenance agency were arrested. The incident occurred when seven of 48 towers in the complex, housing over 4,500 residents, lost power around midnight because of an internal transformer problem. The affected buildings — A1 to A4, B1, B2, and D2 — were particularly vulnerable as many residents, especially in Tower A with predominantly 1BHK flats, hadn't opted for power backup due to high charges. The confrontation began when residents gathered in the society compound around midnight to question the power cut. When Jeevan, a resident, approached the maintenance staff for answers, he was allegedly told power would not be restored that night. This led to an argument as residents sought answers. The situation quickly escalated when staff members allegedly began assaulting him and other residents who had gathered there.

This led to a tussle. Some bouncers were called, who attacked the residents along with the society's own guards," said Shesh Mani Singh of Tower A1. Footage sourced from cameras in the society compound shows a maintenance worker attacking a resident on a bike with a long stick. The clip also captures heated exchanges between staff and residents. Even women were attacked with sticks, the footage showed. The altercation continued into the early hours of Friday — even after a police team arrived in the society after being informed about the clash. Jeevan suffered grievous injuries, with wounds to the chest, arms, back, and leg. His wife later alleged that despite promises of medical reports being filed, police officials made them wait unnecessarily and eventually directed them to a private hospital instead of a govt facility. The four maintenance staffers who were arrested were Ravindra (33) from Bisrakh, Sohit (30) of Badalpur, Sachin Kuntal (27) from Sector 49, and Vipin Kasana (27) of Jarcha. "Following a complaint from residents, we have arrested four men involved in the case. Further investigation is underway," a police spokesperson said, adding that an FIR was being registered under relevant sections of BNS. Manu Tyagi, the society's chief estate manager, remained unavailable for comment despite multiple attempts to reach him. Later, on Friday evening, the power went off again due to an internal fault. The society maintenance issued a notice saying "the transformer ACB (air circuit breaker) in the LT (low tension) panel of Tower A4 was damaged and is currently under repair. Due to this maintenance work, there will be a power shutdown from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM today. During this time, the power supply will be affected in the following towers: Tower B1, B2 and A1. Please note that DG (Diesel Generator) backup and lift services will also not be available during this period. We regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding and cooperation".

Senior Maoist educator surrenders with wife

Raipur: A senior Maoist who served extensively in remote villages, educating cadres in guerrilla zones through the Mobile Political School (MOPOS) network, surrendered with his wife before police officials in Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki district of Chhattisgarh on Wednesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The couple carried cumulative cash reward of Rs 13 lakh and is being called an important surrender on the LWE front. The Maoist couple was identified as Jeevan alias Ram Tulavi at the rank of divisional committee member, and his wife Agasa alias Aarti, an area committee member have surrendered to the police in Mohla, police said. Their surrender marks another success in the state's 'Operation Prayas', a campaign designed to encourage Maoists to leave the armed insurgent movement and return to mainstream society, officials said. This surrender took place in the presence of Inspector General of Police (IG) Abhishek Shandilya and Superintendent of Police Yashpal Singh. The couple had been active members of the Maoist movement for over 25 years and decided to leave the organization after being influenced by the Chhattisgarh govt's new rehabilitation policy, officials added. Jeevan, 45, hails from Parvideeh village in Mohla and was a prominent member of the Naxal outfit, having held the position of Mobile Academic School (MAS) Commander in Marh division. Jeevan joined the outfit around 1993, influenced by the growing Naxal presence in his village. He began his journey in the movement by working under the leadership of Divakar Kurchami, a commander from the Tipagadh Naxal group. Over the years, Jeevan played an instrumental role in spreading Maoist ideology by teaching at Naxal-run schools, including in the Marh area, where he was tasked with training new recruits. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His work included conducting Mobile Political Schools (MOPOS) to educate Naxals in various villages, adapting to changing circumstances and locations. Jeevan steadily rose through the ranks, from an L.O.S. (Local Organization Squad) member to a Divisional Committee Member (DVCM). He carried a cash reward of Rs 8 lakh. His wife Aarti, 38, is from Teli Tola village in Mohla, and was active in the movement for over 15 years. She was involved in Chetna Natya Mandali, a cultural wing of the Naxals, where she helped spread the ideology through folk performances. She was introduced to the Naxal cause through her association with Laxman Deshmukh, the leader of a local cultural group who had links with the Naxals. After her marriage to Jeevan in 2007, Aarti continued her work with the Chetna Natya Mandali in Manpur division, where she was eventually promoted to the position of ACM. Over the years, she also worked with the Naxal media and press teams. She carried a bounty of Rs 5 lakh on her head. The couple's decision to surrender comes after years of being disillusioned by the growing discrimination and exploitation within the organization. With several senior leaders being killed in encounters and a growing atmosphere of fear among members, the couple chose to leave the armed insurgency and return to their communities, officials said. Their surrender was facilitated by the joint efforts of various security forces, including the 27th and 44th battalions of the ITBP (Indo-Tibetan Border Police) and District Reserve Guard (DRG). These forces played a vital role in bringing the couple to safety and ensuring that they were able to leave the Naxal organization without facing harm or retaliation. Both Jeevan and Aarti will receive immediate relief funds of Rs 50,000 each. The surrendered couple made an appeal to other active Maoists in the region, urging them to return to their families and live a peaceful, fulfilling life without the violence and fear associated with the movement.

Selfie near KRS crest gate lands 2 youths in police net

Mandya: After a two-minute selfie featuring three youths near the crest gate of the closely guarded Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir went viral, police detained two of them on Saturday and launched a search for the absconding person. The video was shot three weeks earlier. All three have been booked on charges of illegal and wrongful entry under BNS for unauthorised entry into the heavily secured KRS Dam premises. Jeevan, 20, and Gangadhar, 32, both residents of Chikkadi village in Pandavapura taluk, along with their friend, shot a video standing close to the crest gate. The video clearly captures the individuals stating that security personnel attempted to stop them, but they managed to sneak into the restricted zone nonetheless, where civil work is being carried out. They could access entry because the security grills were opened to facilitate construction at the dam site. While the incident initially appears to be a security lapse, sources reveal that the underlying issue is a critical shortage of manpower. The shortage of security personnel against the sanctioned strength has posed tough challenges to safeguard the sprawling 300-acre area comprising KRS Dam and Brindavan Gardens. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo On average, over a dozen security staff are on duty per shift, including office personnel, making comprehensive surveillance nearly impossible. Repeated requests for additional manpower and essential equipment — such as walkie-talkies and baggage scanners — have fallen on the deaf ears of the authorities concerned. The security at KRS and Brindavan Garden is handled by the Karnataka State Industrial Security Force. They trespassed restricted area: SP Of the CCTV cameras installed across the KRS premises, only a few are currently operational. The remaining units have been out of service for months, further crippling the already inadequate surveillance system. This negligence falls squarely on CNNL, which is responsible for the dam's maintenance and development activities. Speaking to TOI, superintendent of police Mallikarjun Baladandi said: "It is restricted area, the trio have trespassed and hence we have arrested two of them in this regard. With regarding CCTV and various other security related aspects, I had written two letters to Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited but they have not taken any action. Again we will write a letter about various requirements". With daily footfall ranging from 5,000 to 10,000—and reaching up to 50,000 during Dasara — the current security setup is grossly inadequate. CNNL should prioritise recruitment, provide necessary equipment, restore surveillance systems, and ensure basic amenities are in place. Sources claim that due to a lack of vehicles, night patrolling has become challenging for the security personnel guarding the reservoir.
