Mystery shrouds theft of burial shrouds of women in Jaipur

July 2, 2025, 1:14 am

A disturbing and an unusual case of theft has come to light in Jaipur’s Shastri Nagar area. Miscreants have targeted burial shrouds (kafan), leaving the society shocked. At the Nahari Ka Naka cemetery, several graves specifically those of elderly women have been tampered with and burial shrouds (kafan) have been stolen by unidentified miscreants.

Residents allege that the graves were tampered with during the night, with soil dug up and shrouds taken from specific burial sites. The incident has created panic in the locality, prompting people to inspect the graves of their loved ones for signs of disturbance. Local residents filed a complaint at the Shastri Nagar police station, demanding a swift and thorough investigation.

Adding to the alarm is speculation that the thefts may be linked to occult practices such as black magic or exorcism rituals. Locals believe that the stolen shrouds may be used in such acts and point to the fact that three of the disturbed graves belonged to women over the age of 85. This has led to suspicions that elderly graves of females are being deliberately targeted.

Police have not yet confirmed the motive but are exploring all possibilities, including the use of the stolen shrouds in rituals. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Bajrang Singh Shekhawat described the case as highly unusual. He confirmed that the police were alerted immediately and reached the spot for investigation.

Traffic Jam Outside Jaipur Hotel After Couple Forgets to Close Room Curtains Before…

June 20, 2025, 6:00 pm

A video of a couple during a private moment inside a hotel room is viral on the social media, triggering big debates regarding privacy, digital ethics, and voyeurism. The video that surfaced allegedly shot at one of the five-star hotels in Jaipur appears to have been recorded through an open window while a person walked by.

The supposedly leaked viral video, allegedly captured at Jaipur‘s Holiday Inn close to 22 Godown, shows a couple engaged in intimate activity visible from outside the road as the curtains had been left open. The scene drew passersby outside the hotel, and some can be heard insulting the couple. The incident caused an immediate commotion, and people were attracted to it.

Though the faces of the individuals are not easily recognizable from the clip, their gestures do not leave any room for doubt. News18 has decided against uploading the clip to maintain the privacy of the couple.

Social Media Responses

The video’s viral transmission resulted in a mixed response online. Some users criticized the couple for failing to close the curtains, while others criticized the person who captured and uploaded the video without authority. The debate instantly overflowed into the hotel’s role in ensuring guest privacy.

One of the users commented, “A video of a couple’s intimate moments shot from the street at Jaipur’s Holiday Inn hotel went viral, creating a storm.” This is a privacy invasion, which may be illegal in India (such as IPC Section 354C). Others believe the couple were reckless, but capturing and posting is unethical. The hotel’s responsibility is also in doubt, for example, the design of curtains. This tale represents the challenge of privacy in the age of the internet.

The other person remarked, “They are doing it in a hotel and not on any highway. People who create such videos should be brought to court.” There was one opinion that was different, which stated, “They kept the curtains open. Didn’t you notice it? Why do hotels install curtains? It is their own fault, as they should have kept the curtains in consideration.”

A more sympathetic voice stated, “It is unethical to post such personal moments of a couple, even though they were irresponsible. They were doing this in a hotel room and not on the highway. Imagine somebody posting a video from your bed with your wife.”

As the video continues to make the rounds, questions loom over potential legal consequences for the creators of the filming and upload. Whether anything will be done against the intrusion of privacy is to be seen, but the video has certainly set fire to the issues of digital consent, surveillance, and boundaries in this age of social media.

Jaipur Man Questions Rs. 1,300 Ear Wax Fee, Doctors Explain the Cost

June 18, 2025, 5:55 pm

One Jaipur-based businessman, Rishabh Jain, recently posted what he believed was a funny story of a hasty trip to an ENT clinic but his update ignited a flood of criticism, particularly from the medical field.

The incident started when Jain took his daughter for a routine earwax removal in an ENT specialist’s clinic. After the quick procedure, he uploaded a photo on the internet of his daughter with a piece of cotton and captioned it on X (formerly Twitter): “ENT doc removed my kid’s ear wax in 30 secs, charged whooping ₹1300, that too after a ‘discount’. No wonder her clinic was emptier than Ritvi’s ear.”
The post soon went viral, receiving more than a million views.

While appearing to be lighthearted sarcasm, the joke did not go down well with most, particularly healthcare workers who perceived it as belittling their years of training and the worth of medical services.

One reader curtly replied, “You’re not paying for 30 seconds. You’re paying for the expertise to get it done in 30 seconds. If you don’t like it because of expense, do it yourself for free.”

Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, better known as “The Liver Doc,” joined in with a biting retort, “Next time use an old ear wax cleaner. You can find them on the street across. And don’t waste money. Hope it helps.”

Another doctor seconded the notion, sarcastically remarking, “There are individuals who sit on the street and get it done for Rs 50. Try them next time. Seriously, the doctor undersold you.”

Medical experts also pointed out the hard work and extensive academic background behind such procedures. An elderly professor of cardiology in a government college described:
“To be able to do that within 30 seconds, one needs to study up to the age of 30, pass two very challenging exams NEET UG and PG and undergo 5+1+3 years of training. Yes, nice and easy. So, now doctors must work for free and beg post-duty to make everyone happy.”

A different user implied Jain’s post was an expression of misplaced indignation:

Ask the doctor how many years of training and schooling it took to become proficient enough to accomplish what she did in 30 seconds.”

In addition to standing up for the profession, a number of commenters doubted the use of Jain’s daughter in the post. “Using your child’s picture to ragebait is what we should be questioning here,” one commenter posted.

Although the debate rages on, the event has reminded us of how even seemingly superficial social media comments can spark wider debates regarding professional courtesy and the actual price paid behind “fast” services.

Rajasthan Launches Crackdown On Bangladeshi Infiltrators

May 2, 2025, 1:20 am

In response to growing anger across the country, following the mass murder in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the state government has swiftly begun implementing the central government’s guidelines. On the state’s directive, the Police Headquarters has initiated the identification of Pakistani citizens, with plans to deport them to the Attari border. Simultaneously, a special campaign targeting Bangladeshi infiltrators has been launched to identify and deport those residing illegally in the state.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma convened a special meeting at his residence on Wednesday evening, where he gave instructions to the Home Department. In line with these directives, the Police Headquarters has instructed every District Superintendent of Police, including both Commissionerates, to intensify efforts in locating and deporting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The government is taking these steps to address the growing concerns and restore security and order in the state.

According to data from the Police Headquarters, 600 Bangladeshi nationals have been identified living in the state so far. Following instructions from Sharma on Wednesday to prioritise the identification and detention of Bangladeshi intruders, the Police Headquarters has intensified its efforts. As a result, this number is expected to exceed 1,000. Most of the identified Bangladeshi intruders have been found in the state capital. In a previous campaign, 550 Bangladeshis were discovered in Jaipur, while 30 were found in Ajmer and 20 in Alwar. With the special campaign initiated on May 1 under the Chief Minister’s directive, authorities anticipate the number of Bangladeshi nationals across the state, including Jaipur, could reach into the thousands.

Gangs smuggling Bangladeshi intruders active

Police sources stated that due to the previous Congress government’s policies, a large number of Bangladeshi Muslims began arriving in Jaipur, often posing as labourers. Gangs were reportedly activated to facilitate their entry, using trains arriving late at night. These gangs would shelter the illegal intruders in under-construction houses, where they were employed as labourers, often under the cover of darkness. Over time, these individuals were gradually settled in slum areas.

Command assigned to DG Intelligence

State Police Chief U.R. Sahu confirmed that, under the Chief Minister’s instructions, the task of identifying and deporting Bangladeshi intruders has been handed to DG (Intelligence) Sanjay Agarwal. Agarwal, in coordination with central agencies, is responsible for sending the intruders to detention centres in Alwar before deporting them back to Bangladesh.

Police launch early morning raids

On the instructions of Agarwal, Commissionerate’s ADCP (Law and Order) Dr Rameshwar Singh held a late-night meeting with the DCPs from East, West, North, and South on Wednesday, formulating a strategy for the arrest of Bangladeshi intruders. The strategy was strictly mandated for implementation. Police stations were directed to launch special campaigns in their respective areas, raiding the identified hideouts of Bangladeshi nationals before sunrise, checking their documents, and arresting those living illegally. These individuals will be sent to the detention centre in Alwar. According to police sources, most of the Bangladeshi intruders are residing in areas such as Bhankrota, VKI, Harmara, Kanota, Bagrana, Bassi, Jhalana Kachhi Basti, Sanganer, Kho Nagoriyan, Ramganj, Jaisinghpura Khor, Amer, and Nai Ki Thadi within the Commissionerate. Three months ago, the Bhankrota police station had identified and arrested 19 Bangladeshi nationals.

Bangladeshi gang’s criminal activity

Ten years ago, a gang of Bangladeshis had committed a shocking robbery and rape in the Commissionerate. During that time, Bangladeshi miscreants had committed robbery by taking a family hostage in Vaishali Nagar. The miscreants stabbed the members of the victim’s family with knives and left them bleeding and raped the woman, who was identified only after the victim’s obscene clipping went viral during the robbery, but the Commissionerate has not been able to arrest the kingpin of this robbery gang from Bangladesh till date.

Commissionerate raids yield results

Under the leadership of Commissioner Biju George Joseph and following the instructions from ADCP Dr Rameshwar Singh, the police have launched a campaign to raid the hideouts of Bangladeshi nationals early in the morning. So far, the police have apprehended 200 suspects, of which 80 were found without valid Indian citizenship documents. Authorities are currently verifying the documents of the detained individuals. Once confirmed as illegal infiltrators, these Bangladeshi nationals will be transferred to the detention centre in Alwar.

Concerns for West Bengal Hindus

Bangladeshi infiltrators have not only impacted the local population but have also victimised Hindus from West Bengal who came to the state in search of livelihood. These West Bengal Hindus claim that they are being harassed by the police under the pretext of identifying Bangladeshi infiltrators. Despite the fact that married women in their families can be easily identified as Hindus by the sindoor in their hair parting, police have arrested them from their homes, accusing them of being illegal migrants. A similar incident occurred on Thursday in Udaipur’s Ghantaghar police station area, where Hindu artisans from West Bengal, who make gold and silver jewellery, were arrested, taken to the police station, and subjected to interrogation and mistreatment like criminals.

JD Vance in Jaipur: India Vital to Regional Stability, US Sees It as Top Defence Partner

April 22, 2025, 6:20 pm

US Vice President JD Vance recently referred to India as the United States’ “first of its class” defense partner while speaking in Jaipur. He emphasized the strengthening relations between the two countries. These strengthening relations, he added, are the foundation for ensuring peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.

Evidently, his statements indicate how important India’s contribution to regional security is to the US. Collectively, the two nations intend to make the Indo-Pacific remain free, open, and peaceful.

JD Vance in Jaipur: Stronger India-US Ties in the Indo-Pacific

Vance’s remark comes at a time when it is imperative. India and the US are both converging their security objectives. India’s geographical position, coupled with its military might, makes it a key player in the region. Simultaneously, its developing economy brings additional heft to its global standing.

#WATCH | Jaipur | "It's fitting that India this year is hosting the QUAD leaders' summit this fall. Our interests in a free, open, peaceful and prosperous Indo Pacific are in full alignment…," says US Vice President JD Vance in Jaipur. pic.twitter.com/cq7qDxZHnx

— ANI (@ANI) April 22, 2025

Notably, India acts as a counterbalance to China’s aggressive actions. Its alliance with the US ensures power balance in the Indo-Pacific. This renders their alliance more crucial than ever.

India will be the venue for later this year for the QUAD leaders’ meeting. This makes India play the central leadership position. The QUAD is a strong front against intra-regional risks. Vance’s address was illustrative of solid US backing to India playing this central position.

JD Vance Pressure on India’s Growth and World Role

Apart from defense, JD Vance lauded India’s dynamism and ambitions. He labeled it a nation of opportunities. New residences, growing skyscrapers, and rapid progress signify its turnaround.

Additionally, he pointed to India’s nationalism. He indicated how its confidence gives birth to an ambitious future. Evidently, he considers India not only as an ally, but also as a resurgent power to be reckoned with on the world stage.

What Lies Ahead for US-India Cooperation

In the future, India and America will become closer still. Both of them are determined to ensure the Indo-Pacific region remains secure. With the QUAD summit coming up, this alliance is poised to go the next step.

Vance’s words made it crystal clear, America views India not merely as an ally. It views a close friend. In a volatile area, India’s increasing defense ties with America will go a long way in preserving peace.

IIT Baba Defends Ganja Consumption: ‘Every Baba Consumes’ Following Arrest | WATCH

March 4, 2025, 11:51 am

Abhay Singh, popularly known as “IIT Baba,” was briefly detained in Jaipur after police discovered a small amount of marijuana in his possession at a hostel in the Riddhi Siddhi area. The incident has sparked mixed reactions, highlighting the clash between traditional spiritual practices and modern drug laws.

Incident Details

Local police received a complaint about a disturbance at the hostel and promptly arrived at the scene. During their investigation, officers found a minor quantity of ganja (marijuana) on Singh. A case was registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. However, since the amount recovered fell within the legally permissible limit for personal use, Singh was released shortly after his detention.

IIT Baba’s Defense

Following his release, Singh addressed the media with a characteristic mix of defiance and humor. “Mostly every baba consumes weed as a prasad. Would they arrest all of them?” he questioned, defending his actions as part of his spiritual customs as an Aghori baba. He further added that it was his birthday and he simply wanted to celebrate in his own way, downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

Who is IIT Baba?

Abhay Singh, better known as IIT Baba, is an alumnus of IIT Bombay and a former aerospace engineer who left a promising career to pursue a life of spirituality. His transformation from academia to asceticism first garnered widespread attention during the Maha Kumbh Mela, when a viral interview showcased his unconventional lifestyle and personal journey. Singh has openly discussed how strained family ties and the dismissal of his passion for photography contributed to his spiritual quest, making him a polarizing yet intriguing figure in contemporary India.

Public Reaction and Legal Perspectives

The incident has ignited a debate on social media, with some netizens sympathizing with Singh’s cultural and spiritual practices, while others question the appropriateness of his actions under current drug laws. Legal experts note that although the NDPS Act is stringent, the small volume of ganja involved does not warrant a harsh legal response. The case serves as a reminder of the complexities at the intersection of traditional customs and modern legal frameworks in India.

Shantanu Naidu’s New Chapter: From Ratan Tata Manager To Spreading ‘Bookies’ Across India

December 5, 2024, 3:15 pm

Shantanu Naidu, popular for his close proximity to the late industrialist Ratan Tata, has declared the expansion of his silent reading initiative, Bookies, to Jaipur. He unveiled the Jaipur chapter on LinkedIn, inviting residents to join the event scheduled for Sunday, December 8.

“Jaipur, it‘s time. We will see you on Sunday the 8th at Jaipur Bookies. Sign up for the launch below. So excited!” Naidu shared, gearing upRajasthan‘s reading community.

What is Bookies?

Bookies is an innovative reading movement initiated by Naidu to reignite the exhilaration of silent reading in open spaces. From Mumbai, it has successfully moved to Pune and Bengaluru and received immense interest. The movement entices readers, who gather at public spots, read their favourite books, and engage in a digital-free, technology less distraction-filled experience.

Speaking at a recent session in Bengaluru, Naidu highlighted the importance of reading in today’s fast-paced digital age. “Reading seems central to the human experience. However, it’s been sidelined. We’re so used to short Reels that even a 1:30-minute video feels long now,” he said, emphasizing the initiative’s mission to bring reading back to the forefront.

Naidu plans to extend Bookies to more Indian cities, such as Delhi, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Surat, making a nationwide reading culture an even greater reality.

A Friendship That Defined an Era

Apart from literature, Shantanu Naidu had an extraordinary friendship with Ratan Tata. Ratan Tata has described Naidu as his “shadow” in his last days, and this friendship is quite rare in legacy. As mentioned in the reports, he has named Naidu in his will, and Naidu’s Good fellows company will no longer owe the stake; education loans taken by him are also waived.

After Tata‘s death in October, Naidu wrote an emotional note. He said that Tata was his “lighthouse” and that he is really in great pain. “The hole that this friendship has now left with me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to fill. Grief is the price to pay for love,” he shared.
A Vision for the Future
Through Bookies, Naidu is celebrating Tata‘s legacy but also advocatingfor a return to introspection and learning through reading. Jaipur is nowpart of the movement towards creating a community united by the love for books.

Bishnoi Gang Crackdown: ‘Madam Maya’ Aide ‘Joker’ Caught In Punjab

December 4, 2024, 2:19 pm

A major breakthrough in the aftermath of the arrest of notorious lady don ‘Madam Maya’, Jaipur police have arrested her assistant, Rajendra, aka ‘Joker’. The latter was nabbed on Tuesday from Bathinda, Punjab, where he was lodged as an accused in the murder case of the Punjabi politician and singer Sidhu Moosewala.

This is one more arrest which indicates how the law enforcement agencies do not stop until they break up the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been associated with a range of high-profile criminal activities.

Rajendra in Extortion Scheme and Infiltration

According to sources, Rajendra had a plan of extorting money from two businessmen of Jaipur. Even after getting arrested for the Moosewala murder case, he continued to give instructions on the criminal activities from his jail cell. The reports have confirmed that he made use of the jail period to induct new recruits into the Bishnoi gang and keep the gangsters updated about all the developments.

The Operations of Bishnoi Gang by Madam Maya

‘Madam Maya’, whose real name is Seema Malhotra, was arrested on Saturday and is believed to have been a key figure in the Bishnoi gang’s operations for the past two years. Her duties involved handling logistics, getting lawyers ready for gang members and making contact with those who are operating from abroad. In addition, she collected intelligence through social media on influential personalities and passed it to Rajendra and other members of the gang.

The Bishnoi Gang’s Wide Network

The Lawrence Bishnoi-led Bishnoi gang claims to have an extensive network of about 700 shooters across the country. Interestingly, the group was involved in the mass murders including that of Sidhu Moosewala, and even a politician, Baba Siddique. Lawrence Bishnoi operates from Sabarmati Jail where he is lodged.

Police Attention Towards Interrogation and Investigations

Seema Malhotra, alias Madam Maya, and Rajendra will be grilled by the Jaipur police after their arrest as a means of extracting further information about their criminal operations and wider networks associated with the Bishnoi gang. The investigation seeks to unmask more individuals involved in the gang’s illegal operations, especially those with international connections.

Recent Arrests Reflected Increasing Attempts of the Law Agencies to Overpower the Broad Criminal Machinery of the Bishnoi Gang.

More than 60 persons have been rescued from the streets and intersections and have been placed in rehabilitation centers. The rehabilitation work not only aims at creating a beggar-free Jaipur but also at transforming the lives of these persons by providing them with dignity and opportunities.

The rescued individuals are offered shelter, food, and essential facilities. More importantly, they receive skill-based training tailored to their capabilities, enabling them to pursue jobs or start small businesses. By breaking the cycle of dependency, the program empowers these individuals to lead self-reliant lives.

Addressing Winter Challenges for the Homeless

The campaign also addresses the challenges faced by the homeless during Jaipur’s harsh winters. Rehabilitation centers ensure that vulnerable individuals have access to safe and warm accommodations, preventing fatalities caused by extreme weather conditions.

Public and Social Organization Involvement

JMC is actively inviting social organizations and citizens to contribute to this noble cause. Contributions in the form of food, shelter, and other necessities are encouraged to enhance the campaign’s impact and create sustainable change.

While the beautification projects aim to impress global investors, the city’s efforts to uplift its vulnerable populations highlight a commitment to inclusive development. These initiatives reflect Jaipur’s dedication to not only fostering economic growth but also ensuring social equity.

With the Rising Rajasthan Summit around the corner, Jaipur is poised to emerge as a beacon of investment and humanitarian progress, setting a precedent for urban development across India.

Amagarh Fort: A Hidden Trekker’s Paradise Near Jaipur

November 21, 2024, 2:54 am

Amagarh Fort, situated on the eastern outskirts of Jaipur, is an intriguing site that combines history, culture, and a dash of mystery. This relatively lesser known fort offers a refreshing break from the usual tourist spots like Amber Fort or Nahargarh. Built by the Meena rulers, it provides a glimpse into Rajasthan’s layered history before the arrival of Rajput dominance. With its strategic location and rich historical significance, Amagarh Fort deserves a place on every traveler’s itinerary.

The Historical Significance of Amagarh Fort

The origins of Amagarh Fort trace back to the Meena rulers, who were the original inhabitants of the region. Built as a defense structure, the fort served as a watchtower against invasions and helped safeguard the resources and population of the area. Unlike the grandiose forts of Jaipur’s Rajput era, Amagarh Fort is modest in scale, emphasizing functionality over ornamentation.
Later, during the Rajput reign, the fort gained prominence as a strategic outpost to protect the Jaipur region. Its location atop a hill provided excellent visibility, making it a valuable asset for monitoring enemy movements. This layered history highlights the fort’s role as both a protective stronghold and a symbol of the region’s cultural transition.

Architecture of the Fort

Amagarh Fort is a classic example of Rajasthani architecture but with distinct influences from the Meena era. The fort is built using locally available materials like sandstone, and its design prioritizes practicality over luxury. Fort Walls and Gateways: The fort’s walls are robust and designed to withstand sieges. The gateways are narrow, an architectural feature meant to slow down invading forces. Strategic Positioning: The fort’s hilltop location makes it a vantage point offering panoramic views of the surrounding Aravalli hills and the city of Jaipur. Ruins and Remnants: While parts of the fort are in ruins, these remnants add to its rustic charm. Visitors can see old water storage systems, small temples, and bastions that hint at the fort’s past glory.

Relevance to the Meena Community

For the Meena community, Amagarh Fort holds immense cultural and spiritual importance. The fort is believed to be dedicated to Amba Mata, a goddess worshipped by the Meenas. Many community members visit the fort for religious rituals and to connect with their heritage.
Efforts are ongoing to document and preserve the fort’s history from the perspective of the Meena rulers, as much of it has been overshadowed by Rajput narratives. This adds an element of cultural revival to the fort’s significance, making it not just a historical monument but also a symbol of identity for the Meena community.

Exploring the Fort

Amagarh Fort offers a mix of adventure and tranquility, making it ideal for various types of travelers. Hiking to the Fort: The fort is accessible via a short but slightly challenging hike. The trail winds through rocky terrain, offering glimpses of local flora and fauna. This hike is particularly enjoyable in the cooler months when the weather is more pleasant. Panoramic Views: From the top, visitors are rewarded with stunning views of Jaipur and the surrounding hills. Sunrise and sunset at the fort are especially mesmerizing, making it a favorite spot for photographers. Exploring the Ruins: Walking through the fort’s ruins is like stepping back in time. The crumbling walls, ancient temples, and scattered relics evoke a sense of mystery and wonder.

Best Time to Visit

The ideal time to visit Amagarh Fort is during the winter months, from October to March. The weather is cool and comfortable, perfect for hiking and exploring.

While more touristy, Amber Palace is a must-visit for its grandeur and historical significance.

Amagarh Fort and Its Role in Jaipur’s Tourism

Although relatively unknown, Amagarh Fort has the potential to become a significant player in Jaipur’s tourism scene. Efforts are being made by local communities and authorities to restore and promote the fort as a heritage site.
The fort provides a quieter alternative to the bustling landmarks of Jaipur, making it appealing to those seeking solitude or a more offbeat experience. With the growing interest in eco-tourism and sustainable travel, Amagarh Fort is well-positioned to attract a niche segment of travelers.

A Perfect Blend of Adventure and Serenity

Visiting Amagarh Fort is not just about history; it’s an adventure in itself. The short hike to the fort, though slightly challenging, is an experience worth undertaking. As you ascend through the rocky terrain, you are surrounded by the natural beauty of the Aravalli hills.
Once at the top, the fort offers a tranquil escape from Jaipur’s bustling tourist spots. The quiet ambiance, coupled with breathtaking views of the city and hills, makes it an ideal spot for those seeking solitude or a picturesque location for photography.

Seasonal Beauty and Best Time to Visit

The monsoons bring a lush green cover to the surrounding hills, adding to the fort’s charm. Summers, however, can be harsh and are best avoided for day visits.The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and the fort’s natural and architectural beauty can be enjoyed to the fullest.

Travel Tips

Its understated beauty, rich history, and serene ambiance make it a must-visit for those looking to explore Rajasthan beyond its popular attractions.

Nadda to visit Jaipur on October 5

October 3, 2024, 3:05 am

Following the defeat in in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP National President J.P. Nadda will visit Jaipur on Saturday, October 5. Given the current circumstances, this visit holds significant importance for multiple reasons. While the party has linked Nadda’s visit to the membership campaign, it also presents an opportunity to address various pressing issues. During the meetings, Nadda is expected to discuss the situation regarding the Kirori Lal Meena’s resignation, as well as evaluate the performance of other ministers. He may also seek clarifications from the key minister embroiled in controversies and issue strict directives to the cabinet. Supporters of Nadda allege that a local leader has been spreading rumours to tarnish his reputation. They indicate that if the high command permits, he is prepared to address the media to clarify the situation.
The BJP high command is extremely worried about the situation in Rajasthan and has expressed frustration with the performance of certain ministers. Several issues have contributed to this concern, including a disappointing showing in the Lok Sabha elections, the resignation of a minister, conflicting statements among party members, and a lack of enthusiasm among workers for the membership campaign. With by-elections on seven seats approaching next month, the opposition is likely to exploit any incidents to their advantage. Corruption allegations against a minister have come to light, and issues involving his son have added to the troubles. Additionally, discussions about a foreign woman linked to a five-star hotel in Delhi have surfaced, with reports suggesting that these cases have reached the Delhi court. The high command remains cautious, particularly with the upcoming elections in Haryana and the by-elections. The chief minister wants decisions to be in the interest of the common man
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is trying to ensure that decisions are taken in the interest of the common man, but questions are being raised on the government due to the supporting ministers.
The party’s national president Nadda may be touring for the party’s membership drive, but he will also resolve the problems being faced due to the government’s image and ministers. The decision on Kirori Lal Meena, who has resigned from the ministerial post, is the most important before the high command regarding the by-elections to be held on seven seats, because persuading the angry Meena voters in the by-elections is a big challenge for BJP. BJP had only one seat out of seven, the remaining six assembly seats were won by the opposition.
In the current environment, it is not very easy for BJP to win all the seats. The party will try to win as many seats as possible. These seven seats are Dausa, Jhunjhunu, Chaurasi, Deoli Uniara, Khinvsar, Salumber and Ramgarh.

After Uttar Pradesh, by-elections will be held on the highest number of seats in Rajasthan
After Uttar Pradesh, by-elections will be held on the highest number of seats. To win these seats, the party will have to find answers to questions ranging from caste resentment to the work of ministers. Nadda can give strict instructions to the leaders on his one-day visit. State President Madan Rathore said that Nadda will be in Jaipur on Saturday.
Nadda will interact with chartered accountants in a hotel located at Statue Circle in the evening and recruit members for the party. State Convener of BJP membership campaign Dr Arun Chaturvedi said that Nadda will interact with the public representatives of the state about the membership campaign at the BJP state office from 8.30 pm.

During this meeting, MPs, former MPs, MP candidates, MLAs, former MLAs, District Head, Mayor, Deputy Mayor along with the team of state membership campaign, and state officials will be present. The review meeting of the membership campaign will be held and the upcoming outline will be discussed in detail.

Vidyadhar Bhattacharya – The Visionary Architect Of Jaipur

September 28, 2024, 2:51 am

Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, a name synonymous with the architectural and urban planning legacy of Jaipur, played a pivotal role in shaping the city into a prominent cultural and historical landmark. Born in the late 17th century, Bhattacharya was not only an architect but also a visionary urban planner whose work continues to influence contemporary design and city planning in India. Vidyadhar Bhattacharya’s contributions to architecture and urban planning are a testament to his vision, creativity, and commitment to enhancing the lives of the people of Jaipur. His legacy is not merely confined to the physical structures he created but extends to the cultural and social frameworks he established. As cities around the world grapple with challenges of urbanization, Bhattacharya’s principles of thoughtful design, sustainability, and community engagement remain highly relevant. The Pink City stands as a living tribute to his ingenuity, inviting admiration from all who experience its beauty and functionality.

Vidyadhar Bhattacharya was born into a Brahmin family in the Bengal region, which had a rich tradition of learning and scholarship. His education encompassed not only traditional subjects but also the arts and sciences, fostering a diverse understanding of architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. This multidisciplinary background would later prove invaluable in his architectural pursuits.

In 1727, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, decided to establish a new capital for his kingdom due to the increasing population and strategic concerns. He envisioned a city that would reflect the grandeur of his reign, a place that would be not only a political center but also a hub of culture and commerce. To realize this vision, he turned to Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, recognizing his expertise and innovative ideas.
Bhattacharya meticulously planned Jaipur, integrating traditional Indian architectural principles with modern urban design concepts of the time. His approach was influenced by Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian science of architecture that emphasizes harmony with nature, as well as contemporary Mughal architecture.

Architectural Contributions
One of Bhattacharya’s most significant contributions was the city layout of Jaipur, which is famously known as the “Pink City.” He designed the city using a grid system, a departure from the organic growth patterns typical of Indian cities. The layout consisted of wide streets, large public squares, and well-defined zones for residential, commercial, and administrative purposes. This organized structure allowed for efficient movement and accessibility, a forward-thinking concept that remains relevant in urban planning today.
The city was adorned with striking structures, many of which still stand as testaments to his architectural brilliance. The City Palace, which served as the royal residence, exemplified a harmonious blend of Rajput and Mughal styles. With its impressive courtyards, gardens, and intricate detailing, the palace reflects the grandeur of the era.
Another notable structure is the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, designed as a royal retreat. Its unique façade, characterized by numerous windows and jharokhas (overhanging enclosed balconies), allowed royal women to observe street festivities without being seen. This architectural feature not only serves aesthetic purposes but also embodies the cultural norms of the time, highlighting Bhattacharya’s ability to integrate functionality with artistry.

Urban Planning Principles
Bhattacharya’s planning went beyond mere aesthetics; it addressed practical concerns of water management and environmental sustainability. He implemented a sophisticated water supply system that included reservoirs and canals to ensure the city was well-watered, a crucial factor given Rajasthan’s arid climate.
