IN-DEPTH
haratiya Janata Par-
ty has outplayed the
Opposition by field-
ing Draupadi Mur-
mu, former
Jharkhand Governor, as its can-
didate for Presidential poll. The
choice helps its tribal push and
is acceptable to its allies. Mur-
mu is the first tribal, a Santhal,
and the second woman after
Pratibha Patil to be in line to
succeed Ram Nath Kovind in
Rashtrapati Bhawan. Being
from Odisha, Murmu has the
support of Biju Janata Dal. She
also has the backing of YSRCP
of Andhra Pradesh which gives
BJP the confidence of winning
the contest. The only doubt is
about Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
but it is likely to vote for Murmu
much against the wishes of Con-
gress, JMM’s ally in Jharkhand.
If JMM votes for Murmu the
Opposition will have to rework
its strategy for unity but only
after the Presidential election is
over. In the meantime, Opposi-
tion’s candidate Yashwant Sin-
ha, the former Union Finance
Minister, will be disappointed at
not getting JMM’s votes which
he is hopeful of.

B
knath Shinde has
upstaged his lead-
er Uddhav Thack-
eray
. Well, almost.
The Shiv Sena leg-
islator has weaned away 42
MLAs, including some Inde-
pendents, and has technically
reduced the Maha Vikas
Aghadi government to a mi-
noritywithonly15MLAs.The
numbers with Eknath Shinde
are more than required to
avoid the anti-defection law.
Shinde’s next move should be
to approach Governor Bhagat
Singh Koshiyari to call for a
floor test. Bringing down the
MVA government is ostensi-
bly not the purpose of the re-
bellion. Shinde group wants
Thackeray to part company
withtheNationalistCongress
Party and the Congress as
ideologically Shiv Sena is
closertotheBharatiyaJanata
Party
. In a conciliatory move
Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut has
asked the rebels to return to
Mumbai and the party will
consider their condition.
Having gone this far, what
will Eknath Shinde’s next
move be? He is keeping eve-
ryone guessing on that even
as Uddhav Thackeray left the
official CM’s residence and
moved to Matoshree from
where Shiv Sena drew its
strength when Balasaheb
Thackeray was alive.
That BJP behind Shinde’s
moveisobvious.First,Eknath
Shinde is believed to be close
to BJP’s Devendra Fadnavis,
the former chief minister.
Safe havens provided to re-
bels in Surat and Assam also
point to BJP’s support to the
rebels. The demand to break
ties with the NCP and Con-
gressisareminderof the2019

were outsmarted by Sharad

BJP behind Shinde’s
move is obvious. First,
Shinde is believed to be

INDIA-SOUTH AFRICA T20 SERIES
MAJOR GAINS BUT SOME
WORRIES TOO FOR TEAM INDIA!
fter a phenomenal comeback
from being 2-0 down and the
series decider on the line, the
Indian team watched Rain
Gods playing spoilsport in
Bengaluru last Sunday
. The
India-SouthAfricaT20Iseries
ended with 2 wins apiece.
Cricketloverswerehopingfor
a cracker of a contest in the
finalmatchbutthatwasnotto
be as the game was called off
with barely three overs
bowled in the series decider.
Despite ending on a disap-
pointing note, the series had
several positive takeaways for
the Men in Blue ahead of the
T20 World Cup later this year.
COMEBACK BY
DINESH KARTHIK
The remarkable comeback by
Dinesh Karthik was the most
heart-warming aspect for In-
dian fans. Enjoying a second
windtohiscareer,Karthikhad
returned to Team India after
three years on the back of
somesterlingperformancesin
theIPL.Butmanywonderedif
he could replicate his IPL suc-
cess in Indian colours against
a strong South African side.
Karthik, however, carried
his IPL form into the interna-
tional arena and scored at a
hugely impressive rate of
158.62 against the Proteas.
Warming up with an unbeat-
en 30 off 21 balls in the sec-
ond match, Karthik smashed
a magical 55 off 27 balls in
the fourth game. Given his
power-packed shows, voices
are growing for Karthik’s in-
clusion in the T20 World Cup
squad as many believe that
he can play the role of fin-
isher to near-perfection.
HARDIK PANDYA’S
PERFORMANCE
Like Karthik, Hardik Pandya
too made an impactful return
to Team India. After leading
Gujarat Titans to victory in
IPL 2022, Hardik made cru-
cialcontributionsallthrough
the series. After a blistering
31 off 12 balls in the opening
game in Delhi, he hit another
30-plus score in the game at
Vizag. Also, in the Rajkot
game, he made a vital 46 off
31 balls enabling India to re-
cover from a dicey 81 for four.
Another major plus is Is-
han Kishan’s form. Despite
being the costliest buy in the
IPL auction at 15.25 crores,
the young opener was rather
unimpressive in the Mumbai
Indians’ disastrous IPL cam-
paign this year. But the tal-
ented left-hander turned
things around against South
Africa and was the top run-
getter, hammering 206 runs
at an average of 41.20 and a
terrific strike rate of 150.36.
ON THE
BOWLING SIDE
On the bowling side, veteran
pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar
posed a lot of challenges to
South African batters. Till a
few months ago, Bhuvi’s abil-
ity to swing the ball seemed
to have gone missing and his
place in Team India appeared
doubtful. But he rediscov-
ered his bite and stifled most
Proteas batters and was even-
tually named the ‘Player of
the Series’.
If Bhuvi looked like a
bowler reborn, Harshal Patel
was also impressive and can
aspire for a T20 World Cup
berth. Besides bagging seven
wickets, it was great to see
how he learnt from his mis-
takes. Even young pacer
Avesh Khan displayed his
wares with skill. Despite
some former cricketers ask-
ing for his exit from the play-
ing XI, the team management
stood firm and Avesh repaid
their trust in Rajkot by bag-
ging 4/18 in a hostile spell
and seems ready to serve In-
dian cricket in the long run.
Beyond the positives, there
were a few areas of concern
as well. Rishabh Pant’s form
was possibly the biggest wor-
ry
. The middle-order was a
point of concern as not only
Pant but even Shreyas Iyer
keptstrugglingtostrikeform.
As the first-choice T20I wick-
et-keeper currently, Pant’s
form is worrying and as the
stand-in skipper too, his cap-
taincy left a lot to be desired.
SELECTION OF
PLAYERS
Inaddition,thesame11players
were picked for all five match-
es, with stability being the
name of the game. The refusal
to change players implied that
youngseamerslikepacesensa-
tionUmranMalikandleft-arm
Arshdeep Singh didn’t play a
singlegame.Whileconsistency
in selections is a laudable poli-
cy
, both the young pacers de-
served a look in. In particular,
denying a debut to 22-year-old
Umran who regularly clocked
over 150 in IPL games, seems
like a major chance missed on
home grounds.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
A
Overall, squaring a series
with South Africa despite the
absence of several stars like
Rohit, Virat, K L Rahul,
Bumrah and Jadeja seems
an impressive feat. Under
Rahul Dravid’s mentorship,
Team India sure seems to be
moving in the right direction
to come up trumps in the
T20 World Cup in Australia.
The nucleus of a strong
squad and players who could
get World Cup spots seems to
be progressing smoothly

Jaipur : The distance
from Ranthambore to
Sariska is only 165 km.
The forest area of Ran-
thambore is 1334 sq. km
Sariska is 881 sq. km.
Despite similar weath-
er, similar forest and
similar surroundings,
the tigers of Rantham-
bore are not adoring the
forest of Sariska, which
is why since 2008 six out
of nine tigers shifted
from Ranthambore to
Sariska have died.
The age of a tiger is
generally considered to
be 18-20 years. But in
Sariska, tigers some-
times died due to an
overdose of tranquilliz-
ers and sometimes due
to deep wounds.
One tiger is still miss-
ing, which is presumed
dead. There are now 24
tigers left in Sariska in-
cluding 7 cubs, 7 male
tigers and 10 tigresses.
Tigress ST-3 died
some days back in the
Sariska Tiger Reserve
Forest. She was brought
here from Rantham-
bore so that Sariska
gets populated.
Four male tigers
brought from Rantham-
bore to Sariska have al-
ready died. Out of 9 ti-
gers from Rantham-
bore, 6 have died, out of
which 4 were male ti-
gers. With this, at pre-
sent, there is not a sin-
gle male tiger of Ranth-
ambore in Sariska.
Three tigresses ST-2,
ST-9 and ST-10, brought
from Ranthambore, are
alive. Among them ST-2
is aged, Tiger ST-1, ST-4,
ST-6 and ST-16, brought
from Ranthambore
have died. Moreover, Ti-
ger ST-3 and ST-5 have
also died. ST-5 is consid-
ered missing by the de-
partment for many
years, while male Tiger
ST-16 died in 2019.
Earlier, in 2004, all
the tigers in Alwar’s Sa-
riska Tiger Reserve
were extinct. Tigers
were also hunted here.
After this, tigers were
shifted from Rantham-
bore to Sariska in the
year 2008. A total of 9
tigers were shifted one
by one. Because of this,
the number of tigers in
Sariska is 24 at present.
However, many tigers
have died.

NEWS DIGEST
Jaipur: In probably the first of its kind case,
a builder razed his illegal building with a bull-
dozer and other machines in Hanuman Vatika
A in Prithviraj Nagar North in Jaipur. This could
happen due to continuous monitoring of the
JDA’s Chief Controller- Enforcement Raghuveer
Saini. A bulldozer was shifted to the 4-storey
building with the help of a crane and three of the
four storeys were demolished. The builder had
constructed the building on plot number 46. The
building was sealed in September 2019 but it was
reopened on 28-8-2020 after the builder gave an
affidavit for removing the illegal construction.
Builder did not remove construction following
which building was sealed again on 15-10-20.
Seal was opened for a second time on 4-5-22
after the order of the JDA Appellate authority.
The authority had directed the builder to remove
the construction within one month. When the
builder did not follow the directions, four notices
were given from May 20 to June 10 and the JDA
decided to demolish. — Abhishek Shrivastava

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: An inter-
esting post was seen in
social media that the
fight that Congress
should have contested
in courts is being fought
on streets and the fight
which should be fought
on the streets, is being
fought on social media!
When Rahul Gandhi
was called by the En-
forcement Directorate
(ED) for questioning
about the alleged irreg-
ularities in the Nation-
al Herald case, the en-
tire Congress party
took to the streets. Keep
in mind this matter is
very old and the Con-
gress has gone to the
Supreme Court to get
the matter dismissed.
But even in the court it
did not get relief. This
case was also started by
Subramanian Swamy,
who had once brought
down the government
of Atal Bihari Vajpayee
by upporting Jay-
alalithaa with Sonia
Gandhi. So it is not a
very simple matter of
political revenge of the
government.
So when all the top
leaders of Congress
came out on the road,
their message went that
Congress leaders are de-
voted to only one family
.
Their allegiance is not
to the people, but to the
family. Secondly, the
BJP also got an opportu-
nity to say that the Con-
gress party is agitating
to defend the Nehru-
Gandhi family in the
matter of corruption. In
fact, the Congress has
to fight this battle in
court. Congress should
remember how the SIT
set up for the Gujarat
riots questioned the
then Chief Minister of
Gujarat Narendra Modi
for hours. Modi had qui-
etly gone to the SIT’s of-
fice and joined the inter-
rogation. If instead of
taking to the road in
protest against Rahul’s
appearance before the
ED, Congress would
have taken to the road
in protest against the
bulldozers going on
people’s homes in Ut-
tar Pradesh or strug-
gled on the road like
this on the issue of in-
flation, poverty and
unemployment, com-
mon people would con-
nect more with it. But
the Congress party is
fighting all such bat-
tles on Twitter.
Congress’ bizarre strategy: Fight real issues on social
media, protest against ‘first family’s’ issues on roads!
New Delhi (ANI): PM
Narendra Modi on
Thursday inaugurated
the new premises of the
Ministry of Commerce
and Industry – ‘Vanijya
Bhawan’. Besides, Modi
also launched a new
portal called NIRYAT– a
one-stop place for all
info needed for India’s
foreign trade.
During the inaugural
ceremony, Modi said
this new premise and
the portal are a symbol
of both physical and
digital infrastructure,
and it would reflect In-
dia’s aspiration of
‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’
or a self-reliant India.
He went on to say
that providing ‘Ease of
Access’ to citizens is In-
dia’s priority, and ac-
cess to govt policy for-
mulations and banking
to the citizens were the
key facets of the past 8
years’ governance mod-
el. Further, the benefits
of the government
schemes reaching all
sections of people,
without any form of
discrimination, can
only ensure ‘Sabka Vi-
kas’ or welfare for all,
he said.
Giving reference to
the previous govern-
ments, he said that pro-
jects were earlier an-
nounced for the sake of
“political interest” but
there were no guaran-
tees about the comple-
tion of such projects.
“They were not seri-
ous about the comple-
tion of the projects.
This new building (get-
ting completed on time)
is an example of how
we have changed the
mindset,” Modi said.
Government’s projects
completed on time, and
schemes reaching their
goals are nothing but
giving respect to the
taxpayers of the coun-
try, he said.
“When govt projects
complete on time and
schemes reach target
are nothing but giving
respect to the country’s
taxpayers. Under PM
Gati Shakti national
master plan, we now
have a modern plat-
form…Keeping into
consideration the aspi-
rations of new India,
this building will have
to give a push to all as-
pects of development,”
Modi said.

New Delhi (PTI):
Hailing as “historic”
the BJP-led NDA’s deci-
sion to name Draupadi
Murmu as its presi-
dential poll candidate,
the Akhil Bhartiya
Vanvasi Kalyan Ash-
ram on Thursday ap-
pealed to all parties to
elect her unanimously
and show commitment
towards the all-round
progress of the tribal
communities.
In a statement in
Hindi, the RSS affili-
ate said the tribal soci-
ety had to suffer ne-
glect for years despite
being an integral part
of the Indian tradition
and culture as well as
the bearer of a glori-
ous tradition.
With the country
being home to over 12
crore tribals, Mur-
mu’s nomination as
the NDA candidate is
a move towards
bringing a social
change, it stated.
NDA’S nominee for
president Droupadi
Murmu reached the
national capital from
Bhubaneswar on
Thursday, a day be-
fore she files her
nomination papers
for the post.
Her nomination pa-
pers are being pre-
pared at Parliamenta-

dence, sources said

candidate Draupadi Murmu (R) in New Delhi on Thursday.
New Delhi (PTI): As India

on July 18, the Legislative
Assembly of the Union
Territory of Jammu and
Kashmir will not be a part
of the exercise for the sec-
ond time in the history of

stitutional post. There have
been precedents of legisla-
tive assemblies of states
not being part of the prez
polls on account of their
dissolution, the first such
instance being of Gujarat
in 1974. The assemblies of
Assam, Nagaland and JK
too could not participate in
subsequent elections on
account of dissolution. The
JK Reorganisation Act
provides for a Legislative
Assembly for the Union
Territory of JK, but the
election is yet to be held.

‘SINGLE LEADER’
New Delhi (PTI): The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
(JMM), led by its executive president and Chief Min-
ister Hemant Soren, may be among the 17 Opposi-
tion parties, which nominated Yashwant Sinha on
June 21 as their joint candidate for the July 18 Presi-
dential election, but the tribal party seems all set to
review its position and back the ruling BJP-led NDA’s
Presidential nominee, Draupadi Murmu. Murmu is
on course to be elected as the next President, first
tribal to assume the country’s highest constitutional
office. Shibu Soren-headed JMM clearly does not
want to be seen as a party which despite its tribal
credentials did not back the “historic move” to send
1st tribal to Rashtrapati Bhavan.

states are changing
books on history
and some other
subjects. Political
science books are
also being changed.
It is not that books
are being changed
for the first time
but for the first
time books are be-
ing changed in
such an calm and
easy manner. Ear-
lier there was a pro-
cess to replace the
books. A team of
writers and editors
worked on it. The
changes were made
keeping in mind
the totality of the
subject. Care was
taken that the
change in the book
of a subject should
be in such a way
that in spite of the
change, it would be
consistent. It
should not seem
that suddenly
something has
been removed in
the middle. Howev-
er, this time thi
‘care’ is not being
followed, as with-
out consideration,
random parts are
being removed, af-
fecting the totality
of the subject.
Changes have
been made in many
NCERT books. The
chapters about the
rulers of the Delhi
Sultanate and the
Mughal period have
been shortened. But
shortening does not
mean that chapters
are written anew,
only random parts
have been removed.
Its purpose is that
students do not
know or know little
about certain
things. Instead, it
would have been
better if they were
rewritten about
those subjects in an
objective way. It
helps the students
to form their own
point of view. Even
if the BJP has to
make history and
political science
books according to
its ideology, then
writing every chap-
ter anew was a bet-
ter solution. Just
like the books
made during the
Congress rule also
have a chapter on
Emergency.
DOES BJP NOT KNOW THE SUBTLE, STRATEGIC
WAY OF CHANGING CONTENT IN BOOKS?

New Delhi (PTI): The
Indian media and en-
tertainment industry
is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 8.8% and
reach `4.30 lakh crore
by 2026, according to a
report by global consul-
tancy firm PwC.
The growth would be
paced by digital media
and advertising
through deeper pene-
tration of the internet
and mobile devices in
the domestic market,
along with traditional
media, which will hold
their steady growth,
the report said.
TV advertising is ex-
pected to reach over
`43,000 crore by 2026. It
will make India the
fifth-largest TV adver-
tising market globally,
after the US, Japan,
China and the UK.
The Indian media
and entertainment in-
dustry is expected to
be around `3.14 crore
in 2022, registering an
overall growth of
11.4%, as per the
PwC’s Global Enter-
tainment Media
Outlook 2022-2026.
India’s OTT Video
services are expected
to become a `21,031
crore industry in the
next four years by 2026,
in which `19,973 crore
would come from sub-
scription-based servic-
es and `1,058 crore from
Transactional VOD
(video on demand).
“It is subscription
services that are driv-
ing this rapid growth,
accounting for 90.5% of
revenue in 2021 and set
to account for 95% in
2026,” it said.
The population size
and widespread use of
mobile-led Internet
video will underpin
rapid growth in the
OTT market over the
forecast period.
In particular, up-
take of 5G will permit
low-latency services
such as OTT video
streams, greatly boost-
ing the sector.

...ON THE BACK OF BETTER AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION
New Delhi (PTI):
The Indian econo-
my can grow by
7-7.8% this fiscal on
the back of better
agriculture produc-
tion and a revital-
ised rural economy
amid global head-
winds mainly due
to the ongoing Rus-
sia-Ukraine war,
eminent econo-
mists said.
Eminent econo-
mist and BR Ambed-
kar School of Eco-
nomics (BASE) Vice-
Chancellor NR Bha-
numurthy said at
present Indian econ-
omy is facing multi-
ple headwinds large-
ly from external
sources.
Noting that global
inflationary pres-
sures and the Russia-
Ukraine war have
brought in risks to
the economy, which
is otherwise strong
with all the domes-
tic macro funda-
mentals being well
managed, he said
unlike advanced
economies, India’s
Covid stimulus
measures, especially
the fiscal policy in-
terventions, are less
inflationary and
rather growth-en-
hancing. “With bet-
ter agricultural pro-
duction and revital-
ised rural economy
India should touch
7% growth in the
current year despite
global headwinds,”
Bhanumurthy said.
Echoing similar
views, eminent econ-
omist and ISID direc-
tor Nagesh Kumar
said the high-fre-
quency indicators
point to a robust
growth momentum
carrying through
2022-23 with a real
GDP growth some-
where between
7-7.8%. French econ-
omist Guy Sorman
said India could be
severely impacted by
the high cost of en-
ergy and fertilis-
er imports.
Global headwinds pose risks
New Delhi (PTI):
The World Bank has
cut India’s economic
growth forecast for
the current fiscal
to 7.5% as rising
inflation, supply
chain disruptions,
and geopolitical ten-
sions taper recovery.
India’s economy grew
8.7% in the last fiscal
(2021-22) against
a 6.6% contrac-
tion in the previous
year. Nagesh Kumar
noted that the global
headwinds of rising
commodity prices
do pose downside
risks for the Indian
economic outlook
as the CPI levels
are elevated. “Yet,
I do not think that
India is heading
towards stagflation,
given that the growth
momentum seems
quite robust,” Kumar
argued. According to
Guy Sorman, inflation
has become a global
phenomenon, caused
by unanimous poor
money management,
an excess of public
expenses (largely
justified to compen-
sate for Covid-19),
and low-interest
rates. “The monetary
bubble is exploding
everywhere. India
is not different,” he
pointed out.
Govt aim to keep
FY23 fiscal deficit
at 2021 level
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): India’s govern-
ment will not be able to
cut its budget deficit
this fiscal year as previ-
ously projected, offi-
cials said, but will seek
to cap the shortfall at
last year’s level to pre-
vent a major deteriora-
tion in public finances.
Efforts to maintain
some fiscal discipline
reflect New Delhi’s
concern around risks
to its sovereign credit
rating but will likely
limit the government’s
firepower to contain
inflation and provide
relief to households
and businesses.
In February, Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s government set
a fiscal deficit target
of 6.4% of gross do-
mestic output (GDP)
for the year that start-
ed on April 1, com-
pared with a deficit of
6.7% last year.
The sources said that
while increased spend-
ing to provide relief
from inflation meant
the government would
miss this year’s target,
policymakers would
seek to limit the devia-
tion to 30 basis points.
“We will try to con-
tain the slippage to last
year’s levels,” one of
the officials said.

New Delhi (PTI):
Debt-ridden telecom
operator Vodafone
Idea has decided to de-
fer payment of addi-
tional adjusted gross
revenues of `8,837
crore dues by a period
of four years.
The company in a
late night filing on
June 22, said that the
DoT on June 15, has
raised adjusted gross
revenue (AGR) de-
mand for additional
two financial years
beyond 2016-17, which

der the Supreme court
order on the statutory

Vodafone Idea (VIL)
in the filing said that
its board of directors
“has approved the ex-
ercise of the option of
deferment of the AGR

said DoT Letter. The
amount of the AGR

in the said DoT Letter
is `8,837 crores which
is subject to revision
on account of disposal

tions”.
The government
calculates its share of
revenue from telecom
operators based on
their AGR, which is
considered to have
been earned by them
from the sale of ser-
vices.

New Delhi (PTI): The
Indian paper industry

, said IPMA

The industry’s reac-

nies recently that the
paper required for
making straws is not
available in India, ne-
cessitating imports,
and that it will take
time to have enough
domestic capacity to

Terming it as “factu-

President A S Mehta
said a “wrong impres-
sion” is being created
that presently there is
no Indian paper mill
that can manufacture
the required paper for
making paper straws
and opposed any ex-
tension of the dead-

UPSC meet for RAS to IAS,
RPS to IPS promotions today
Miscreants open fire with an intent to
loot `2 lakh from couple, arrested
Dr Rituraj Sharma
Jaipur: In the coming
days, the Rajasthan bu-
reaucracy will get a
much needed ‘charge
of motivation’ as 5 RAS
will get promoted to
IAS while 3 RPS will be
promoted to IPS. For
this, there will be a
board meeting of UPSC
in Delhi on Friday 11
AM onwards which
will be attended by CS
Usha Sharma.
With the develop-
ment, the entire bu-
reaucracy is upbeat and
there are several names
that are doing the
rounds. The possible
names are Pukhraj
Sain, Shruti Bhardwaj,
Arun Kumar Purohit,
Mukul Sharma, Ajay
Singh Rathore, Priyan-
ka Goswami, Jagjit Sin-
gh Monga, Ram Niwas
Mehta, Arun Garg, Ra-
jendra Singh, Rajendra
Kumar Verma, Sanchi-
ta Vishnoi, Harsh
Sawan Sukha, Ashu-
tosh Gupta and Bhan-
war Singh Sandhu.
However, among
these Pukhraj Sain,
Shruti Bhardwaj, Arun
Kumar Purohit, Mukul
Sharma and Ajay Sin-
gh Rathore are being
considered to be the
front runners owing to
the fact that they have
full potential to be-
come IAS.
This promotion will
also counter the short-
age of secretary level
IAS officers in the sec-
retariat.
Additionally, this
time 3 RPS will also be
promoted to IPS.
First India Bureau
Alwar/Bhiwadi: Some
unidentified miscre-
ants fired about half a
dozen rounds with the
intention of robbing a
couple carrying Rs 2
lakh cash. The incident
took place on Thursday
afternoon at RIICO
Chowk in the Phool-
bagh area. As the mis-
creants tried to snatch
the bag full of money
they fired about four
rounds to threaten the
couple. Due to the firing
noise, many people
gathered at the spot.
Seeing the crowd grow-
ing, the miscreants
managed to escape, but
before the miscreants
could get away com-
pletely, the QRT team
reached the spot and
nabbed one of the ac-
cused. Late in the even-
ing, this entire episode
was disclosed in just 5
hours. As per the police,
Rekha, a resident of Ut-
tar Pradesh, had come
with her husband Raj-
kumar to withdraw an
amount of Rs 2 lakh
from the bank.
On the other hand,
the miscreants had a
foolproof plan to carry
out this robbery
. The ac-
cused Mirchand alias
Mintoo made his wife
sit in the bank, who con-
tinually kept an eye
over any large amount
withdrawn. She was in
touch with her husband
by phone. Similarly,
Mintoo along with his
associates was am-
bushed outside the
bank near RIICO
Chowk. As soon as
Mintoo’s wife informed
from inside that a wom-
an had come out with
Rs 2 lakh cash. Mintoo
and his associates ap-
peared in front of cou-
ple and opened fire with
the intention of rob-
bing. However, could
not carry out loot due to
panic. Mirchand his
wife have been arrested
by Bhiwadi police.

couraged the workers.
PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasra directed
the MLAs, workers,
board-cor poration

during stir. Regarding
the Agnipath, he said,
“Country’s youth is an-
gry. Instead of groom-
ing the future of the
youth on a contract ba-
sis, they are playing
with their future. The
Modi government is
anti-youth and anti-
farmer. Congress is
standing against Ag-

PCC observers have
been appointed in every
constituency to ensure
the stir is a success to
help local MLAs.

of taking voice sam-
ple. On presentation
of revision applica-
tion against the or-
der, the Addl District

Describe yourself,
and what would you
say are some vital
skills or characteris-
tics to have to make it
in the modelling
world?
I am happy-go-lucky
but take challenges
very seriously and be-
lieve in the complete
spelling of the word
PERFECTION, from P
to N and I try to do
things with PERFEC-
TION. In the modelling
world, one has to be on
edge above the rest to
be different and when
one is different then
one is been watched
admired and sought
out like a cherry on

permodel in you.
Share some insides
of your journey.
I dreamt of being a
model from my early
childhood days. I used
to share this passion
of mine with my par-
ents who took me seri-
ously and encouraged
me and guided me to
do stretching work-
outs for good
height and see-
ing the re-
sults I was
self-motivat-
ed to practice
expressions n of
course walk and
attitude etc.
What was the biggest
rookie mistake you
made when just start-
ing?
Three years back I got
my very long curly
hair locks cut into
very short hair, which
I still regret a lot.
What has been the
most memorable or
rewarding moment in
your career?
I think a lot of reward-
ing moments are yet to
comeasIhavejuststart-

ment when the first
