<p>Jaipur Crime News: In a film-style heist, a jewellery factory in the Manak Chowk police station area of Jaipur, the capital city, was burgled in the early hours of Friday. Masked thieves stole gold and diamond jewellery worth approximately ₹1.5 crore from a factory in just 6 minutes. The incident took place in the Chaura Rasta area, where the thieves rappelled down from a nearby building to enter the factory located on the fourth floor.</p>



<p>According to the police, the victim, Ankit Khandelwal, residing at Prithviraj Road, Ashok Nagar, filed a report. His factory is located in the Sitarama Ratnakoosh Bhavan, Nanaji Ki Gali, Chaura Rasta. He stated that finished gold jewellery, diamond sets, and valuables stored in precious boxes from the factory office were stolen.</p>



<p>The miscreants broke a windowpane to enter the factory and executed the crime in a matter of minutes before fleeing. CCTV footage revealed that two masked youths arrived on a motorcycle. One of them climbed up using a rope, entered the factory, and opened the drawers.</p>



<p>Police say the thieves planned the crime professionally. Preliminary investigations suggest that approximately 1200 grams of gold and other precious jewellery were stolen. The investigation has been expedited based on fingerprints and CCTV footage collected from the scene. All nearby CCTV cameras are being examined, and questioning of suspects has begun. Police suspect an insider may have been involved in the theft.</p>

<p>Faridabad: A cloud of uncertainty hangs over 8,000 houses in Faridabad district, in the National Capital Region bordering Delhi. The administration has declared Nehru Colony, spread across 60 acres, illegal and issued a notice to vacate the area within 15 days. This notice was issued by Vijay Singh, Deputy Tehsildar of the Rehabilitation Department. The notice states that the land belongs to the government and has been illegally occupied. Occupants must vacate the land within 15 days and formally surrender their occupation by appearing at Room Nos. 607 and 608, Faridabad Mini Secretariat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Deadline: 10 July; Action Threatened Thereafter</h2>



<p>The administration&#8217;s notice clearly states that the land is the property of the state government and has been illegally occupied for years. The notice also clarifies that if the occupants do not vacate the houses within the stipulated timeframe, the administration will forcibly reclaim the land on 10 July with the assistance of the local police. This order has caused panic among the residents of the 8,000 houses in Nehru Colony.</p>



<p>Following the administration&#8217;s order, hundreds of people from Nehru Colony took to the streets on Friday evening. Angry over the administrative order, they blocked the Sainik Colony-Masjid Chowk, causing a massive traffic jam in the area for an hour. The protestors stated that they have been living in the area for years and the administration&#8217;s sudden order to vacate is inhumane and unconstitutional.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Locals Block Road for an Hour</h2>



<p>Locals demanded that the government first make adequate arrangements for their rehabilitation. The resulting traffic jam lasted for about an hour, with long queues of vehicles on both sides of the road. The local police, informed of the situation, arrived and persuaded the people to disperse peacefully. One protester said, “We have been living here for 30 years. Our children&#8217;s education, the elderly&#8217;s medication, and our employment are all tied to this settlement. If the administration renders us homeless, we will take to the streets.” Another woman wept, saying, “Where will we go if our homes are demolished? Does the government not care about our lives?”</p>



<p>The administration also stated that this action is part of a larger plan to curb encroachment on government land. Deputy Tehsildar Vijay Singh said, “This land belongs to the government and is reserved for development projects. Illegal occupation is not only a violation of the law but also hinders the planned development of the city.” The administration has also hinted at strict action with police assistance if there is any resistance. It remains to be seen how the administrative action proceeds in the coming days and its impact on the local population.</p>


National News

<p>Faridabad: The Deputy Tehsildar has ordered the evacuation of 8,000 houses in a 60-acre colony within 15 days. A warning has also been issued that police force will be used if anyone fails to vacate the property.</p>

<p><strong>MP News:</strong> Twenty government schools in Bhopal are on the verge of closure due to declining student enrollment. These schools will be merged with Sandipani or CM Rise schools. The aim is to expand CM Rise schools by closing down smaller schools in the city.</p>



<p>Bhopal has 836 government schools with approximately one lakh students enrolled. While the enrollment process is ongoing, twenty schools have very low student numbers. Jahangira school in the old city, for instance, has around fifty students enrolled up to the twelfth grade. Primary schools in the city also show very low admissions. If the numbers don&#8217;t improve, these schools will be removed from the department&#8217;s records. Last year, four hundred schools across the state were closed, including six in Bhopal, following instructions from the School Education Department due to zero enrollment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Eight CM Rise Schools Have Higher Enrollment</h2>



<p>The city has eight CM Rise schools. The schools facing potential merger are located near these schools. According to the School Education Department&#8217;s rules, students within a one-kilometre radius of a CM Rise school will be given first priority.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Schools Face the Biggest Challenges</h2>



<ul>
<li>Schools near Jahangira, Malviya Nagar, TT Nagar, Panchsheel Nagar, Arera Colony, and BHEL face the most significant challenges.</li>



<li>Teachers instructed to find and enroll children in the area.</li>
</ul>



<p><em>All principals have been instructed to increase student enrollment. They are to survey the school&#8217;s surroundings to identify children not currently enrolled and encourage their admission. A special focus is on schools with low enrollment.</em> <strong>-NK Ahirawat, DEO</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Organisations Accuse Policies of Contributing to Declining Student Numbers</strong></h2>



<p>Teachers attribute the decline in government school enrollment to government policies. According to Upendra Kaushal (उपेन्द्र कौशल), president of a teachers&#8217; organisation, they have written to the department several times about this issue. Teachers have been burdened with non-educational tasks, impacting results and contributing to the distance between schools and students. Meanwhile, teachers have received instructions to increase student numbers by searching for unenrolled children in the surrounding areas and persuading parents to enrol them.</p>

This system will be implemented in the upcoming Municipal General and By-elections 2025, scheduled for Saturday, 28 June, making the voting process smarter, more secure, and accessible.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">51,157 Voters to Cast Votes via E-voting</h2>



<p>According to the Bihar State Election Commission, this year&#8217;s elections will incorporate an innovative e-voting system, enabling registered voters to cast their votes from home via a mobile app. The commission stated that 51,157 registered voters will cast their votes through e-voting. This includes senior citizens, physically disabled individuals, those suffering from incurable diseases, pregnant women, and migrant workers. This initiative will benefit voters who are unable to reach polling stations due to health or other reasons.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opportunity to Vote from Home</h2>



<p>State Election Commissioner Deepak Prasad stated that the commission has always strived to provide every voter with a free, fair, transparent, and accessible voting process. E-voting is a significant step in this direction. He explained that e-voting is a voluntary facility, available only to those voters who have pre-registered for it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mobile E-voting for the First Time in Municipal Elections</h2>



<p>Regarding this process, the highest number of registrations have come from the Buxar district amongst the municipalities in Patna, East Champaran, Rohtas, Gaya, Buxar, Banka, Saran, and Siwan. The commission believes that e-voting will enhance the transparency of the electoral process and help increase voter turnout. The State Election Commission held a video conference with District Election Officers before the elections to discuss the strategy and technical aspects in detail to ensure a smooth process for voters.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding the Entire Process</h2>



<p>Under the e-voting process, registered voters will be able to log in to the mobile app, verify their identity through OTP and identification documents, and then cast their votes. The commission has described the system as completely secure and reliable.</p>


<p>The Bihar State Election Commission has taken another step towards modern technology. Voting will now be even smarter, safer, and more accessible. Bihar is poised to become the first state in India to offer online voting via mobile phones.</p>

<p>This year, Amarnath Yatra registrations have seen a 10.19% decrease. Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, explained that those who had registered by 22 April were contacted to confirm their continued participation. Over 85,000 people confirmed their intention to proceed with the Amarnath Yatra.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enthusiasm for Amarnath Yatra Registration was at its Peak</h2>



<p>The LG stated that before the Pahalgam attack on 22 April, enthusiasm for Amarnath Yatra registrations was at its peak. However, following the attack, interest waned, resulting in a 10.19% decrease compared to last year. Manoj Sinha reported that 2.36 lakh people had registered for the Amarnath Yatra.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Security Forces Successfully Regained Pilgrims&#8217; Trust</h2>



<p>Sinha stated that the Jammu and Kashmir administration and security forces have successfully regained the trust of pilgrims, leading to the resumption of Amarnath Yatra registrations. Sinha added that the Pahalgam terrorist attack negatively impacted the overall atmosphere in the valley. Extensive security forces have been deployed for the pilgrimage. The Amarnath Yatra will commence on 3 July and conclude on 9 August.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three-Tier Security at Amarnath Yatra Base Camp</h2>



<p>Sinha mentioned that a three-tier security system will be in place at the Amarnath Yatra Base Camp. Security forces are currently conducting rehearsals and mock drills. Additional police personnel and security forces have been deployed. Verification of all service providers has also been completed. The Amarnath Yatra Helicopter Service has been cancelled this year due to various reasons. As only about 8% of pilgrims utilise this service, its cancellation will not significantly impact the Yatra.</p>

<p>Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s name needs no introduction in the world of cricket. Known globally as the &#8216;God of Cricket&#8217;, he achieved numerous milestones in his 24-year-long career, many of which remain seemingly insurmountable even today. The only batsman to have scored 100 centuries in international cricket, he captivated cricket lovers worldwide with his consistent performance throughout his career.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Batsman to Score 15,000 Runs</h2>



<p>Exactly 18 years ago, on 29 June 2007, Sachin Tendulkar achieved another significant milestone. In a match against South Africa in Belfast, Tendulkar scored a magnificent 93 runs, completing 15,000 runs in his ODI career. This was his 387th ODI innings. To this day, this feat remains solely in Sachin&#8217;s name in ODI cricket, with no other batsman even coming close.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s ODI Career</h2>



<p>Sachin Tendulkar&#8217;s ODI career is one of the most glorious and inspiring in cricket history. Between 1989 and 2012, the Master Blaster scored 18,426 runs in 463 ODI matches at an average of 44.83. During this period, he scored 49 centuries and 96 half-centuries. His highest score was an unbeaten 200. Sachin holds the record for the most runs in ODI cricket, a record unlikely to be broken in the foreseeable future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A String of Records in Test Career</h2>



<p>Furthermore, Sachin scored 15,921 runs in 200 Test matches, hitting 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries. His highest score was an unbeaten 248. He has 10 runs in his only T20I match. Sachin was also a successful spinner, with 154 wickets in ODIs, 46 in Tests, and 1 in T20Is.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Played in Six World Cups</h2>



<p>In his 24-year international career, the Master Blaster played in six ODI World Cups. He was part of the 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011 ODI World Cups. In 2003, the Indian team narrowly missed winning the World Cup, losing to Australia in the final. In that World Cup, Sachin scored the highest number of runs (673) and won the Golden Bat award.</p>



<p>His dream of winning the World Cup was fulfilled in 2011. The Indian team defeated Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to win their second ODI World Cup. The &#8216;God of Cricket&#8217;, revered by millions of fans, bid farewell to international cricket on 16 November 2013.</p>

<p><strong>India vs England Test Series:</strong> The second match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Starting on 2nd July, this Test match could prove extremely challenging for the Indian team, as Edgbaston has been nothing short of a jinx for India.</p>



<p>Team India&#8217;s record at this ground has been extremely disappointing. Until now, India has only once scored over 400 runs here, and only once crossed the 300-run mark. These figures clearly show that the Edgbaston pitch has been a major challenge for Indian batsmen. However, four Indian batsmen have also scored centuries at this very ground.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">416 Runs – India&#8217;s Best Score at Edgbaston, Yet a Crushing Defeat</h2>



<p>India&#8217;s highest ever score in an Edgbaston Test is 416 runs, achieved in 2022 against England. In that match, Rishabh Pant played a whirlwind innings of 146 runs, while Ravindra Jadeja played a composed innings of 104 runs.</p>



<p>Jasprit Bumrah captained the team in this Test. India took the lead in the first innings, but despite this, the team faced a 7-wicket defeat at the hands of England. This defeat was extremely disappointing for India, as despite a strong start, the team could not reach the finish line.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">390 Runs – The Second Highest Score</h2>



<p>India scored their second-best Test score at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in 1986. This match was the third Test of that year&#8217;s Test series, in which England, batting first, scored 390 runs. In response, the Indian team also put up a magnificent fight and scored 390 runs, levelling the score. In this innings, Mohinder Amarnath played a brilliant 79-run knock, while Mohammad Azharuddin played a classic 64-run innings. Kiran More (48) and Roger Binny (40) also made significant contributions.</p>



<p>After a strong contest between the two teams, this Test ended in a draw, but the performance of the Indian batsmen was considered courageous in the conditions of England at that time.</p>

<p>In 1979, the Indian cricket team toured England, where the first Test match of the series was played at Edgbaston Cricket Ground. In this Test, England won the toss and batted first, putting up a massive score. The hosts scored 633/5 runs in their first innings.</p>



<p>In response, the Indian team could only manage 297 runs, which is India&#8217;s third-highest Test score at Edgbaston. In this innings, Gundappa Viswanath scored the highest 78 runs and tried to single-handedly hold the fort, but he didn&#8217;t receive much support from the other end. The Indian team lost this match by an innings and 83 runs, which is considered one of Team India&#8217;s most embarrassing defeats at Edgbaston.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">277 Runs – Fourth Highest Score at Edgbaston</h2>



<p>In 1967, the Indian cricket team was on a tour of England, and the third Test match of that series was played at Edgbaston. In this match, England batted first and scored 298 runs. In response, the Indian team was bowled out for just 92 runs in the first innings.</p>



<p>England then scored 203 runs in their second innings, setting India a massive target of 410 runs to win. The Indian batsmen put up a good fight and scored 277 runs, but India lost the match.</p>

<p>South Korea has long had a significant consumption of dog meat. However, this is set to change. A new law in South Korea has banned the dog meat trade, which will be fully enforced from February 2027. This presents a major challenge for those involved in this business.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Future Uncertain for Over 500,000 Dogs</h2>



<p>The passing of this new law in South Korea raises the question of what will happen to the over 500,000 dogs raised on farms? In South Korea, dogs are farmed in a similar manner to poultry farming in several countries, including India.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Was This Law Created?</h2>



<p>According to a Gallup Korea report, meat consumption is declining in South Korea, mirroring global trends. This shift is particularly noticeable among the younger generation, who view dogs as pets rather than food. This is the primary reason behind the enactment of the law banning dog meat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Will Happen to So Many Dogs?</h2>



<p>Although the deadline for the ban on the dog meat trade is more than a year and a half away, those who raise dogs are facing a crisis. They question what will become of so many dogs. Reverend Joo Yeong, a dog farmer, says he wants to sell these dogs at a low price, but there are no buyers.</p>

<p>The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed remnants of a civilisation dating back to 3500-1000 BCE in Bahj village, Dholpur district, Rajasthan. A 23-metre deep ancient river system (palaeochannel) has also been discovered at the same site. Archaeological researchers are connecting this to the Saraswati River mentioned in the Rigveda.</p>



<p>It is claimed that this ancient water system may have been the foundation of a civilisation that flourished along the banks of the Saraswati River. Located fifty kilometres from Mathura, this site is a crucial link in understanding the cultural heritage of the Saraswati basin. Five months of excavation have yielded, besides statues of Hindu deities, ancient ornaments belonging to this civilisation.</p>



<p>At a depth of about 4 metres, a female skeleton and a large number of ancient silver and copper coins have also been found. Following information about the village&#8217;s association with the grandson of Lord Krishna, Vajranatha&#8217;s Kheda, located on the Govindan road, the ASI commenced excavation on 10 January last year. Research on the discovered remains is underway.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hoard of Mahabharata-Era Pottery Discovered</h2>



<p>Bone tools, semi-precious stone beads and conch bangles, 15 sacrificial pits (yagna kunds), and statues of Shiva and Parvati have been found. These are estimated to be more than 1000 BCE. Seals with Brahmi script, sacrificial pits from the Mahajanapada period filled with sand and soil, and copper coins in small pots have also been unearthed. A treasure trove of pottery from the Mahabharata period has been discovered. Walls have been found beneath the mound.</p>



<p>Jain inscriptions mention Bahj village as Vajnagar. The mounds here are also referred to as Kankali Tila. The name Bahj is believed to be a tadbhava (popularly evolved form) of Vaj Nagari. A significant portion of the village&#8217;s ancient mound is being encroached upon by the expanding settlement. It lies on the Brij Chaurasi Kos Parikrama route.</p>
