Bhawani Singh
Bundi: A 20-year-old
ailing youth Sheru
Bairwa, a resident
of Laban village, died
while being taken to a
hospital in 2011. For the
last two months, his
soul has reportedly
been troubling his par-
ents who had to placate
the soul with rituals at
the spot where the
youth died and took his
soul along with them.
The story seems to be
the plot of a horror pot-
boiler from a Bolly-
wood flick but it is a
real not reel incident.
The family was told by
a local deity to invoke
his soul and fulfill its
unfulfilled desire. On
Thursday, occult ritu-
als were performed
near the Khatkar Mej
river, where he had
died, and it was claimed
that Sheru’s soul en-
tered his mother’s body
and asked to take it
along and dedicate a
place for it. The soul
was trapped in a pot
and handed over to the
mother. Now, some are
terming it as a super-
stition but for the fam-
ily of Sheru it is a
great relief.
When dead man’s soul returned home!

Jaipur: Health Minis-
ter Dr Raghu Sharma
was handed over a
cheque of Rs 5 crore by
Procter and Gamble
(Gillette India Limited)
towards Chief Minister
Corona Relief Fund at
his official residence on
Thursday
. The minister
expressing gratitude to
the company said that
philanthropists and oth-
er donors have to come
ahead so that resources
can be mobilised to face
the possible third wave
of the corona.
On this occasion, Di-
rector Public Health Dr
KK Sharma, Vision
Spring Country Head

Company HR Director
Snehapati, and other of-
ficials were present.

Schools to remain closed in state
400 oxygen concen-
trators, 40 thousand N-95
masks and 2 lakh three-
layer surgical masks were
presented by UNFPA (United
Nation Population Fund) in
aid to help people during the
Covid-19 crisis.
The state govt has postponed decision to invite children
to schools for the time being in view of the possibility
of 3rd wave. In the meeting of Council of Ministers, there
was no discussion on opening schools. In the first phase,
the Edu Dept had prepared a
proposal to start classroom
studies by opening schools for
children from class 9 to 12.
This proposal has been put on
hold for the time being. The
rationale behind proposal to
open school was that corona
is under control and in 15
months, schools have been closed except for 3 months. After
the opinion of experts, decision has been taken to postpone
opening of school, colleges. After July 20, the govt may
review once, only after this review, there will be a decision,
till then school will remain closed for the children.
150 oxygen concen-
trators with a capacity of
10 liters per minute was
presented by Vision Spring
NGO. The minister said that
various voluntary organisa-
tions have actively participat-
ed in the times of epidemic.

IN-DEPTH
DON’T JUNK STUDY
ON GILOY’S EFFECT
ON LIVER OUTRIGHT
he Ayush Ministry
has picked up the
cudgels on behalf of
the traditional medi-
cinesystemtorejecta
study claiming that the immune-
booster herb Giloy damaged the
liver of six patients in Mumbai.
The ministry said that the study
published in the peer-reviewed
Journal of Clinical and Experi-
mental Hepatology “would be
misleading and disastrous to the
Traditional Medicine system of
India as herb Guduchi or Giloy
has been used in Ayurveda since
long. The efficacy of Tinospora
cordifolia, Giloy’s botanical
name, in managing various dis-
orders is well established”.
Ayurvedic medicines have
been in the markets for decades,
perhaps centuries. Allopathic
medicines were not as popular
then. Then herbs were freely
and locally available and people
used them under the guidance
of trained vaidyas. That is not
the case these days and people
use them carelessly, without re-
alizing that herbal medicines
can have side-effects. The minis-
try should first check the pa-
tients’ history of Giloy use and
then junk the study
.

which has also been included

cern. It relates to traceability

would involve weakening of

platforms. WhatsApp has
contested the traceability

T
Model tenancy act needs some
MINOR REVISIONS
ne of the major fears I had
raised was about not getting
the property back by the
landlords whenever they
wanted it. The current law
seems to have taken care of
the same quite a bit. Most of
the time, the owners, popu-
larly known as the ‘landlords’
even if they own just a small
apartment in a big society, do
not rent out their properties
for the fear of not getting
them back. Can there be a
situation worse than a per-
son not getting his house,
which he bought out of his
hard-earned money, back
from the tenant when he
needs it? The law has no busi-
ness to sympathise with any
such forceful occupier of the
house. The section 23 of MTA
2021 does define a heavy pen-
alty i.e. twice the rent for first
two months and four times
the rent for the subsequent
months of such forceful oc-
cupation by the tenants but,
refrains the owners from dis-
connecting the essential ser-
vices such as the electricity
and the water supply to such
tenants. Although MTA 2021,
through its Sections from 21
to 25, speaks amply about
evicting such tenants yet it
restricts the landlords to take
any forceful action himself.
In my opinion, when the own-
ers are not spared by such
service providers on delay-
ing their payments to them,
why should then the tenants
get such an immunity
.
Today, those owners who
are investors are not even
able to recover the interest
cost on the capital they have
invested while those owners
who have rented out their
apartments out of some com-
pulsion, are just able to re-
cover the expenses of main-
taining their properties.
SUGGESTED
REVISIONS IN THE ACT
..commercial aspects such
as the Security deposit, ad-
vance rent, hike in rent
should be market driven,
based on the demand and
supply or as agreed be-
tween the parties..
All the commercial terms
of such transactions should
be market-driven. Security
deposit, advance rent, agree-
ment period, hike in rent
every year should be allowed
to be based on the demand
and supply and as agreed be-
tween the parties. The law
should be invoked only when
and where the agreements
are incomplete and have been
omitted to cover the points of
dispute between the two
agreeing parties.
The law to be enforced
should factor in the type of
properties to be rented out.
Whetherresidential,commer-
cial, industrial, land or any
other. Currently, except for a
very few terms, there are no
specific terms for residential
and commercial properties.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Section 11 of the act restricts
the Security Deposit not to
exceed two months’ rent and
six months’ rent for residen-
tial and commercial premis-
es respectively
. It is to be un-
derstood as to why such a
deposit is collected from the
tenants. Most of the time ten-
ants vacate the premises and
exit the agreement abruptly
either out of some compul-
sion such as due to their cur-
rent poor economic health or
for a better deal or due to the
shifting of their base.
Further, capping the secu-
rity deposit may sometimes
be counterproductive for the
tenantstoo.Quiteafewtimes,
mostlywhenacompanyrents
an apartment for its employ-
ees, the tenant prefers to give
more deposit to negotiate for
a lower rent. This is because
the deposit being refundable,
is paid by the employer while
the rent is borne by the em-
ployee. But, if the security
deposit is capped, the land-
lord will have no option but to
be rigid on the rent.
PENALTY FOR NOT
VACATING THE
PREMISES
Although the act envisages a
speedy adjudication yet the
owner, if he so desires, be al-
lowed to take possession of
his premises immediately on
expiry ( or earlier determina-
tion ) of the agreement
whether peacefully or force-
fully. Rest others are com-
mercial penalties, which can
be levied and recovered from
the outgoing tenant later.
COST OF ENTERING
INTO THE AGREEMENT
The law seems to be silent on
thisissue.Theprimeresponsi-
bility of registering the agree-
ment is that of the owner but,
the cost of the same should be
borne by the tenants.
..Based on the market cap-
ital value, the law should fix
the minimum rent a land-
lord should get..
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
O
All the commercial terms
of such transactions
should be market-
driven. Security deposit,
advance rent, agreement
period, hike in rent every
year should be allowed
to be based on the
demand and supply
and as agreed
between the parties
The law has no business to
sympathise with any such
forceful occupier of the
house. The section 23 of
MTA 2021 does define a
heavy penalty i.e. twice the
rent for first two months
and four times the rent for
the subsequent months of
such forceful occupation by
the tenants but, refrains the
owners from disconnecting
the essential services such as
the electricity and the water
supply to such tenants

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: The appoint-
ment of an RAS officer
as the MD of Jaipur
Dairy for the first time,
has generated a contro-
versy
.
This is the first time
in the Dairy’s 30-year
history
, when an RAS of-
ficer has been appointed
as the MD. This unprec-
edented step undertak-
en by the State Govern-
menthasbecomeapoint
of discussion amongst
the relevant circles.
Sources said that
there were three con-
tenders of the manager
level in RPDF, Jaidev
Singh, RK Suthar and
Sandeep Ahuja. Apart
from this, many MD lev-
el officers were lobbying
for the post through
Ministers and MLAs.
In the current situa-
tion, when the govern-
ment was unable to take
any decision under po-
litical pressure, an RAS
officer, Chandmal Ver-
ma was given the post-
ing to get rid of the
problem. However, it is
yet unknown as to from
where and how the
name of Chandmal Ver-
ma came.
Apparently, Verma is
alsosurprisedthatwhen
he was doing a good job
in the Social Justice De-
partment, why was he
sent to the Dairy?
Ontheotherhand,the
Chairmen of the Dairy
Unions are alleging that
all this is being done by
the Secretary of Gopa-
lan, Arushi Malik.
Ramchandra Choud-
hary, the Chairman of
Ajmer Milk Producers’
Union, has written a
letter to Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot saying,
“This move is a well-
planned strategy of
Arushi Malik, who in-
tends to capture the
dairies and misuse
Dairy assets.”
Rejecting the allega-
tion as baseless, Malik
said that the decision of
appointment of RAS of-
ficer has been taken at
the highest level and
she has no role in it.
She even said that
there are three investi-
gations going on against
Ramchandra Chaud-
hary regarding irregu-
larities, and he is afraid
that the government
may appoint an RAS of-
ficer in Ajmer Dairy
also. Malik said that she
is busy in her work in-
steadof gettinginvolved
in any controversies.
She said that accord-
ing to the announce-
ment of the Chief Min-
ister, 5,000 new dairy
booths will be set up
by August 15. Later,
there is a plan to set up
2,500 more booths.
Presently, the RCDF
is procuring 41 lakh li-
tres of milk daily,
which is an all time re-
cord. She herself talks
to the office bearers of
the Milk Producers’
Unions every day in
this regard.
The pending payment
for 4 months has been
released to the Union.
Now, preparations are
beingmadetotakeSaras
Milk outside the coun-
try’s border in Nepal
and Bhutan, she said.

in the world, the Modi
governmentwillnot
be able to justify
the increase in
prices of petrol

Jaipur: Politics is a
field which attracts
hordes of people to-
wards it as it brings a
person in 'limelight'
i.e. in clear focus of
people. While this is
one of the most attrac-
tive aspects of poli-
tics, however, what
people do not realise
is that political par-
ties, whose ladder an
individual climbs to
reach that 'centre-
stage', become power-
ful due to the dedicat-
ed workers, who work
tirelessly behind the
curtains and away
from the 'limelight' so
that the party and the
projected leader,
thrives.
And one such low
profile, hard working
and silent performer
is Congress's Sandeep
Choudhary, a farmer
leader, who for the
past three decades,
has been the unrelent-
ing soldier for the
Grand-Old-Party
.
Choudhary hails
from the Jat commu-
nity and farming runs
in his blood. Through
the years, his hard
work and zeal to reach
the 'last link' has en-
sured that he has a
good grasp on the
grass roots level.
Choudhary's con-
nect with Congress
started in 1991 and
witnessing his abili-
ties, he was soon ap-
pointed as NSUI's
Block President for
Kotputli in 1993.
While he contested
several college elec-
tions through 1995-96,
he was simultaneous-
ly given higher posi-
tions in the NSUI. In
97-98, he was elected
President of Ra-
jasthan University
Law College.
By 2003, he gradu-
ated into the Youth
Congress and in
2007, he was ap-
pointed the Vice-
President of
Kissan Congress to
President of
Kissan Congress in
2012, a position he
has held continuously
since. But perhaps his
biggest distinc-
tion is his
appointment as AICC
Spokesperson, a posi-
tion which he has
been continuing on
since March 2015 till
date and is currently
also the working Pres-
ident of District Con-
gress Committee,
Jaipur Rural.
At a time, when
youth is getting at-
tracted towards poli-
tics only due to the
spotlight it provides,
Choudhary is an ex-
ception, for, he took
the 'old road' of doing
away with the lime-
light, and making a
difference for the par-
ty
, on the ground level.

Jaipur: CM Ashok Gehlot has given 100% exemption in
stamp duty on documents related to transfer of im-
movable property acquired by secured creditors to new
management and concession in registration fee for revival
of sick micro and small units of construction sector. The
proposal to increase the maximum limit to Rs 10,000 has
been approved. The CM has also approved the draft of the
notifications related to this. It is noteworthy that in the
past also, a notification was issued on March 8, 2017, to
provide exemption on documents related to transfer of
immovable property of such units. But units were finding
it difficult to acquire its benefits due to ambiguity in provi-
sions. Industries Dept had proposed the amendments.
Jaipur: CM Gehlot has
approved proposal to
amend Raj Minor Mineral
Concession Rules for al-
lotment of mining lease
quarry license to registered
consent holder in private
khatedari land. The CM
has approved proposal
for giving mining lease or
quarry license up to 1 -4
hectares in khatedari land
at a fixed premium of 5
times the deadrent 10
times the quarry rent of the
registered account holder.

tion about the injured,

SENSATIONAL
WOMEN
IN BLACK
hat began with the
trend of Little Black
Dress or the LBD has
now grown further
and taken the shape
of a sensational fash-
ion statement. LBD
has always topped the list of
being one of the major ward-
robe-essentials. The colour
itself adds a mysterious flair
to the attire.
The colour black attracts
the eyes as it also displays
dominance, the need to con-
quer and it also displays our
Boss like attitude.
It is true that no colour has
the power to define who we
are but we may take it to the
next level by flaunting our
best looks in black. For me
black is my go to colour, even
though it isn’t my favourite.
I like the fact that black is
one such shade that goes
along with anything and eve-
rything, just like in canvas
the colour black has the pow-
er to absorb anything.
Today we celebrate the sen-
sational women in black. No
special reason, just because
we love ourselves and our
various avatars. Although,
there are many options
where we may experiment
with our clothes such as
black t-shirts, pants, shoes
among others. But, let’s fo-
cus on our extended versions
of LBD’s.
We may dress ourselves in
an extremely stylish bodycon
dress, discover our limits of
cleavage or perhaps the
length of how much back we
wish to be displayed.
We may also experiment
with the type of pattern that
we wish to follow, such as if
we wish to go plain or mix a
little bit of net in our dress
or just a little coloured pat-
tern to highlight the major
colour of our dress.
The best way to accessorize
is to pay attention to our
hands, if you don’t like add-
ing excessive jewellery to
your neck. You may also add
long and trendy earrings if
you don’t like the subtle ver-
sion of your dress.
Always top your dress with
perfect shoes, I prefer stiletto
for my black dresses but very
often I sport the look with
my black canvas shoes, and,
it doesn’t look awkward at
all, especially when I’m into
an event that also features
dancing.
There is one more option!
Perhaps, you may ditch all
the jewellery and let the
dress do the talking!
W
Fall in love with black, by
discovering your most ravishing
avatar in an all black attire!

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
s a nutritionist and
wellness enthusiast, I
believe that true well-
being stems from a
healthy tripod of life
consisting of mind,
body and soul. Each of
us tries to devise our own strat-
egies of well-being albeit some
find more success than others.
With the majority of us spend-
ing long hours on social media,
I discovered a few interesting
accounts that make an effort to
spread positivity. Be it quotes
that help us through tough days
or resources that we all so des-
perately need in times of limit-
ed mobility and access. So over
the next few weeks, I will chat
with a few locals that are brim-
ming with positivity, productiv-
ity and all-around mental and
physical health. If you have
someone in mind that I should
interview next, then do drop in
your suggestions on my Insta-
gram handle @devyanirathore.
For a woman in perpetual mo-
tion, there is a stillness at the
core of Marcela Braur. Jaipur’s
leading lifestyle blogger better
know as @jaipurbymarcela
brings to your screen a host of
great, well-researched resourc-
es as well as a punch of positiv-
ity
. So how does a Brazilian with
an Indian heart adopt Jaipur as
her own and know more about
this city than even those that
are born and raised here? How
does she stay positive and moti-
vated through trying times?
And what are her secrets to stay
in shape mentally and physi-
cally? This week I sit down with
our favourite Brazilian to un-
cover her secret to happiness!
Q. What led you to become an
influencer in Jaipur?
“As a city explorer and outgoing
person, I was gathering a se-
ries of information about our
charming pink city and I was
always sharing all of them
with great pleasure with my
friends on Whatsapp groups.
There was a period that I
started hearing very often,
from different friends that I
should professionally share
these experiences and knowl-
edge. The final take was when
a very close friend said to me
to open an account on Insta-
gram - it made me think. Well,
twoyearsago,thisconnection
happened and made super
sense for me, my eyes shone
and my heart beat faster with
this idea. And that’s how a
Brazilian psychologist be-
came a Digital Creator, where
@jaipurbymarcela was born
and our JBM family started -
which I’m very proud of.
On my platform, you will find a
guide to the best that this city
has to offer through the eyes
of a Brazilian with an Indian
heart#jaipurcity
.Wearecom-
mitted to transparency, eth-
ics, and honesty; to share only
what I genuinely approve and
believe, what matches with
my values. I think it was all of
these that my community be-
came interested in and start-
ed to grow. In our JBM family
,
we exchange feedback, give
tips, explore the city together,
we are together on vacation
too, we get inspired, we grow,
and we exchange positive en-
ergy
.”
Q.What does wellness mean
to you?
“Well-being for me is a set of
practices that provide- com-
fort, safety, health, tranquil-
lity and satisfaction for one’s
life. It is a physical, mental
and social state.”
Q. What motivates you to keep
going?
“My motivation is totally with-
in me. What makes me go
forward is the fact that I
have found my purpose in
life, having the ambition to
be a better person, trying to
contribute to the people
around me and working on
what I love.”
Q. Are there any wellness ritu-
als you practice daily?
“Do physical activity
, have a bal-
anced diet, drink plenty of
water, sleep early and get a
good night’s sleep. One thing
I don’t give up on is having
my annual complete medical
checkup and have a good
sense of humour!”
Q. What is your food philoso-
phy?
“I try to follow a lifestyle that
makes sense and is consist-
ent with my life goals.”
Q. Marcela’s top 5 health tips?
1. Eat well
2. Do physical exercises
3. Practice activities that pro-
vide you well being
4. Find your purpose in life
5. Try to be in the company of
people who make you happy
.
Q. Words that you live by?
“Be you. Live in the present and
be ambitious in search of a
better quality of life.”

n 7th July, destiny removed that
alluring flick of hair from the
brow of Hindustan. Not to say
the same in Hindustani would be
a broken homage to Dilip Sahib,
the master of this integrative
language: Hindustan ke mathey
se naseeb ne ek dilfareb zulf ko hata dia.
Dilip Kumar, a.k.a. Yusuf Khan, strad-
dled the Indian Film Industry for over 5
decades with 65 films. The History of this
Industrywillalwaysbepartitionedbetween
two Eras: BEFORE AFTER Dilip Ku-
mar. Right from the first film JWAR BHA-
TA in 1944, Dilip Saheb's method of acting
broughtrealismtofilmactingviasincere
emotionally expressive performances.
Dilip Saheb's depiction of Prince Sal-
eem in Mughal-e-Azam not only
took the emotion of love to
a different level, but
made history come alive on the silver
screen when he pleaded with his Emper-
or-father Akbar in his inimitable style:
Treat me as a father and not as King, and
give me my Anarkali.
Though famously known as the Trag-
edy King, it would not be out of place to
call him the Thespian King, given the
wide range of his acting talents... be it as
a Swashbuckling, Dramatic, Comical,
Brooding or a Tragic Hero.
He was the consummate actor perform-
ing all roles to perfection.
Though honoured by the Highest Civil-
ian Awards of India (Padma Vibhushan)
and Pakistan (Nishan-e-Imtiaz), a record
9 Filmfare Awards and the prestigious
Dada Saheb Phalke Award, Dilip Saheb's
work cannot be captured in words or
adorned enough by honorifics!!
Above all this, Dilip Saheb was the
most credible representative of the social,
cultural and political milieu of his era.
He will always remain amongst us in doz-
ens of Iconic portraits on the ubiquitous
Screens!! May Ishwar-Allah grant peace
to this pure soul and fortitude to his soul-
mate, the beautiful Saira Bano. Hindu-
stan weeps for you Dilip Sahib!!
