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.

Gujarat govt begins process to bring state scholarship schemes under one portal
The third report of the Gujarat Administrative Reforms Commission (GARC), submitted to CM Bhupendra Patel on Monday, has recommended a unified portal to streamline all scholarships offered by multiple departments — Education, Tribal Welfare and Social Justice — of the state government. Even as the report was released, the Education department had already begun to reform processes for admissions and scholarships in co-ordination with the Tribal Welfare department. While a centralised common exam was launched this academic session for admission to schools under these departments, they are working out a system to rope in the Social Justice and Empowerment department for scholarships. Principal Secretary of the state Education department Mukesh Kumar told The Indian Express, 'Initial discussions on a common portal for scholarship schemes for students has already begun. The entire scholarship process has to be streamlined since there are different guidelines for schemes under the state government.' The GARC, headed by Hasmukh Adhia who is Principal Advisor to the Chief Minister, recommended creating the Gujarat Unified Scholarship Portal (GUSP) to enhance user experience through simplified application processes and automated status updates using a unique Child Tracking System (CTS) for student IDs. The commission suggests streamlining the process in Gujarat to enhance transparency, prevent duplication, and ensure that all deserving students receive appropriate support. 'The departmental silo approach has created a complex web of eligibility criteria (caste, income, gender, merit, and domicile), application processes, documentation requirements, and disbursement mechanisms that often overlap, contradict, or leave gaps in coverage', the GARC notes. It cites the 'success' of underlying digital identity and DBT (data build tool) frameworks in other states for scholarships — Telangana, Odisha, Maharashtra and Kerala. The formation of the GARC was announced in the state's Budget (2025-26) on February 20 this year, followed by its constitution on February 25. With a 75 percent share from the Central government, the Tribal Development department offers pre-matric scholarship to students from Scheduled Tribes (ST) studying in Class IX and X and postmatric scholarships including post-SSC scholarship for girls, boys, SEBC students in hostels, and merit-cum-means scholarship. The Education department offers Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavalamban Yojana (MYSY) to general category students with an income criteria and a percentile cut-off. The Social Justice and empowerment department offers pre and post matric scholarships, merit-cum-means scholarship, assistance for medical and engineering students, loan facility for students studying abroad, commercial pilot training, cycles for girls of class VIII, scholarships for MPhil and PhD,and tuition assistance for science students of Classes XI and XII among several others. J P Gupta, Additional Chief Secretary of the state Tribal Development department, said the schemes will be aligned under a 'unified procedure' to avoid 'divergent processes'.

UP Police finalises plan to check human trafficking
Lucknow: In a concerted move to combat human trafficking and illegal overseas employment frauds, police officers from 11 vulnerable districts gathered at police headquarters for a strategy workshop. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The session was chaired by ADG Women & Child Safety Organisation (WCSO) Padmaja Chauhan and featured officials from the Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs), LIU, cyber cells, and the ministry of external affairs. The workshop was held in the wake of increasing cases of fraud and trafficking involving unregistered recruitment agents falsely promising overseas jobs. Authorities were told to ensure that any agent or organisation facilitating overseas employment is registered with the ministry of external affairs. Citizens were advised to verify agent credentials through the official eMigrate portal. Victims of migration-related fraud or trafficking can now file complaints at their nearest police station without delay. Police officers were instructed to prioritise such cases and conduct evidence-based, quality investigations. All district police units have been directed to launch awareness campaigns, urging citizens to engage only with verified agents when seeking employment abroad. Police were asked to keep vigil on fake job advertisements in print, digital and social media and take legal action against fraudulent employment offers and unregistered agents. Mukesh Kumar, POE (Protector of Emigrants) appointed by the ministry of external affairs for Uttar Pradesh, educated officers on the protocol to assist victims trapped abroad. He said many fall prey to forced labour, passport confiscation, non-payment of wages, and even suspicious deaths, with families often struggling to get justice or compensation. ADG Padmaja Chauhan said, "Our goal is to prevent innocent people from falling into trafficking traps."
