Manas Kapoor – Mumbai Uncensored, 14th April 2022

The five heatwave days are the most for the month starting around 2017 when April recorded six days when the greatest temperature was sufficiently high for it to be arranged as a heatwave.

Delhi is probably going to reel under a heatwave for the 6th continuous day today as the climate division has anticipated that the greatest temperature for the day is supposed to settle around 42 degrees Celsius.

Individuals in Delhi awakened to a warm morning with the base temperature settling at 22.5 degrees Celsius, two degrees over the season’s normal.

The general mugginess in the first part of the day was 25%, an IMD official said.

The base temperature recorded today was 22.5 degrees Celsius.

Enduring the worst part of a smothering heatwave, Delhi on Monday recorded a most extreme temperature of 42.6 degrees Celsius, the most elevated in April in five years, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

It is likewise the first time in quite a while that Delhi has kept such a high temperature in the principal half of April, the climate office said.

The capital recorded five heatwave days in April this year. It had kept six such days in April 2017, the IMD information showed.

Overcast circumstances will bring slight help from the burning hotness today.

The capital had recorded a most extreme temperature of 43.2 degrees Celsius on April 21, 2017

The record-breaking high greatest temperature for the month was 45.6 degrees Celsius on April 29, 1941

Waqf Board Claims 53 Historic Monuments in Karnataka, Raises Concerns Over Encroachments on Protected Sites

Waqf Board

The Waqf Board has recently laid claim to at least 53 historical monuments in Karnataka, a state currently under Congress governance. This claim covers prominent sites such as the Gol Gumbaz, Ibrahim Rauza, Bara Kaman, as well as forts in Bidar and Kalaburagi. Among the 53 monuments, a significant majority—43—are located in Vijayapura, a city that was once the capital of the Adil Shahi dynasty. The remaining sites include six monuments in Hampi and four in the Bengaluru Circle.

According to a Deccan Chronicle report, the Waqf Board in Vijayapura first declared 43 centrally protected monuments as its own in 2005. This claim was made during Mohammad Mohsin’s tenure as Principal Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department (Medical Education). During that time, Mohsin also served as Chairman and Deputy Commissioner of the Waqf Board in Vijayapura. He asserted that this claim was backed by “authentic documentary evidence” and was subsequently acknowledged in a government gazette notification issued by the Revenue Department.

The Waqf Board has reportedly leveraged the Record of Rights and Government’s Certificate, documents typically issued to property owners, to establish its claim. However, by law, ownership of a property by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) means it cannot be de-notified or transferred to another entity. This restriction is established under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act and Rules of 1958, which strictly prohibits any such transfer.

“While the ASI holds legal ownership of the land and monuments, the encumbrance has been recorded in favor of the Waqf authority,” states a Right to Information (RTI) response obtained by Deccan Chronicle. This transfer of rights appears to have occurred without ASI consultation, raising legal and procedural concerns.

An ASI official revealed that a joint survey of the monuments was conducted in 2012, during which the Waqf Board was asked to provide evidence for its ownership claims. At that time, the Board did not present any documentation supporting its claims. Yet, the ASI official reports that 43 of these sites are now considered “encroached” by the Vijayapura Waqf Board, leading to a range of modifications that compromise their historical value.

“The 43 monuments in Vijayapura are being defaced, with repairs using plaster and cement that violate conservation standards. Modern additions such as fans, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, and toilets have been added to these monuments. Some areas have even been occupied by shopkeepers,” the official emphasized, pointing out how these changes have adversely impacted tourism and the preservation of these sites.

The encroachments, which have remained unresolved since 2007, persist despite direct instructions from the Union Ministry of Culture to the Karnataka Chief Secretary, the Vijayapura Deputy Commissioner, and the Minorities Welfare Department. This ongoing issue raises questions about the stewardship of Karnataka’s cultural heritage, as the state’s historic sites face pressures from both modern encroachments and competing ownership claims.

Six people burned 1 d

A dangerous situation unfolded in Bhayandar on Wednesday when police officers were met with violent resistance while attempting to evict a family from their rented flat. The Choubey family, who had been accused of refusing to vacate the premises despite the lease expiring in September 2023, escalated the situation to a shocking level.

When police arrived at the Geeta Nagar residential complex to conduct a panchnama, the family initially resorted to intimidation tactics, hurling utensils at the officers. However, the confrontation took a more sinister turn when they threw boiling water at the police, causing severe burn injuries to four constables, one officer, and a panch.

Reinforcements were immediately dispatched to the scene, leading to the arrest of three members of the Choubey family – the parents and their 26-year-old son. Their daughter remains at large.

The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of law enforcement officials while carrying out their duties. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident and to apprehend the remaining suspect.

This shocking event underscores the potential dangers faced by law enforcement personnel when dealing with volatile situations.

The intensity of the accident was so major that both of them soared in the air and fell on the road with flat backs. Both of them were rushed into the Lilavati Hospital as per whose report Amar was declared dead ( on the spot ) whereas Shyam Sundar undergoing treatment was pronounced dead after a few days.Due to the presence of CCTV in the Bridge, the CCTV footage has sparked on the internet. 

The accused driver has been identified as Ravindra Kumar Jaiswar (38) and has been booked for rash and reckless driving. The accident occured at Pole Number 76 of the sea link and the police arrived soon after the accident. It is worth noting that the driver is not encouraged to stop on the sea link, the speed limit to be maintained should be at most 80 km/ hr. And in case if from the sight of the driver, any inappropriate scenario is happening within the 100 m distance, He / She needs to control the vehicle. In the case of Amar Zariwala, it is evident that the driver had ample time to be aware of avoiding the collision. Thus, the Police have chargesheet the driver.
