<p>Consumers with smart meters in Jaipur report a 10-15% increase in their electricity bills since installation. They are also facing other issues related to smart meters, but their complaints are not being addressed.</p>



<p>Consumers who have approached assistant engineers at electricity offices regarding increased monthly bills are being dismissed with the explanation that the meters are automatic and nothing can be done. The reality, however, is that assistant engineers are under pressure to achieve 100% billing in their sub-divisions every month, leading to their silence on billing-related issues.</p>



<p>Consumers have reported to Patrika that they are being penalised for delayed bill payments. Their connections are being cut without notice, and discom engineers are removing meters. A fee of ₹2500 is being charged by discom engineers for reconnection.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Electricity Cuts Without Notice</h2>



<p>Electricity bills have increased since the installation of smart meters. Comparing them to previous bills revealed a significant difference.</p>



<p>–<strong>Dinesh Verma</strong>, Tirupati Nagar, Haldighati Marg</p>



<p>Once, my bill payment was delayed, and the engineers removed my meter. They charged ₹2500 for reinstallation.</p>



<p>–<strong>Vinod Thapa</strong>, Consumer, Tirupati Balaji Nagar</p>



<p>My bills have increased since the smart meter installation. I reported the problem to the electricity engineers, but no solution was provided.</p>

<p>A heart-wrenching incident has come to light from Pratapgarh district in Uttar Pradesh. The discovery of three bodies from the same family in a house located in Sagara Sundarpur Bazaar under the Lilapur police station area has sent shockwaves through the region. The deceased include a mother, son, and daughter-in-law, while a six-month-old infant and an elderly woman present in the house were found safe.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Death of Mother, Son, and Daughter-in-Law</h2>



<p>The bodies of 28-year-old Ankit Patwa, his wife 22-year-old Riya, and Ankit&#8217;s mother 48-year-old Asha Devi, were found lying on a bed in the same room in their Sagara Sundarpur Bazaar residence on Thursday morning. The deaths of three family members under suspicious circumstances have caused chaos within the family.</p>



<p>It is reported that five members of the family had eaten dinner together the previous night and slept, only to be met with this heartbreaking scene in the morning.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Forensic Team Collects Evidence</h2>



<p>Given the seriousness of the incident, a forensic team has also arrived at the scene. However, no suicide note has been recovered yet. While the police suspect suicide, they are not ruling out any possibility.</p>



<p>Prima facie, it appears that all three died from consuming poison. However, this can only be confirmed after the post-mortem report. The surviving elderly woman is reported to be in a disturbed mental state, which is causing some difficulties in the investigation.</p>



<p>According to locals, the family was of a peaceful nature and was never seen involved in any disputes. The police are thoroughly investigating every aspect.</p>


<p>A shocking incident has unfolded in Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh, where the bodies of three members of the same family were found inside their home under suspicious circumstances.

<p>This is the second such incident in the state in recent weeks. Last month, seven people were killed in a shooting at a party organised by the Catholic Church in San Bartolo de Berrios, also in Guanajuato. Located northwest of Mexico City, Guanajuato is one of the country&#8217;s most violent states. Authorities attribute this violence to battles between organised crime groups, including the Santa Rosa de Lima gang and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The state saw 1,435 homicides in the first five months of this year, more than double that of any other state.</p>

<p><strong>WI vs AUS 1st Test Day 1 highlights:</strong> After losing the World Test Championship 2025 title, Australia has begun the next cycle against the West Indies. In the first Test of the series, being played at Kensington Oval, Barbados, Australia had a poor start. The West Indies bundled them out for a mere 180 runs. This is the first time in the last 30 years of Test cricket history that the Kangaroos&#8217; first innings has been bowled out for such a low score against the Windies. Travis Head scored a half-century in this match. A total of 14 wickets fell on the first day of this match, 10 of which were Australian and 4 belonged to the home team.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Partnership between Khawaja and Head</h2>



<p>Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first, a decision that proved wrong. Australia lost their first three wickets for just 22 runs. After this, Khawaja and Travis Head formed a good partnership, taking the score past 100. Khawaja returned to the pavilion after scoring 47 runs, and the next wicket also fell quickly. After this, wickets continued to fall at regular intervals. Travis Head played a half-century knock of 59 runs, and the entire team was bowled out for 180 runs. Jaden Seals took 5 wickets for the Windies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Windies Score 57/4</h2>



<p>The home team West Indies also had a very poor start. They lost two wickets for just 16 runs. After this, a partnership was formed for the third wicket, and the score crossed 50. However, by the end of the first day&#8217;s play, the West Indies had also lost four wickets for 57 runs. The Windies are thus 123 runs behind Australia.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">First Day Completely Dominated by Bowlers</h2>



<p>Now, it remains to be seen what the pitch will be like on the second day of this Test. Will there be another flurry of wickets, or will the batsmen also get some assistance? Because the first day belonged entirely to the bowlers, who took 14 wickets. Note that this is the first match between these two teams in the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle.</p>

<p><strong>Cyber Crime Awareness:</strong> The Indian government has decided to immediately discontinue the caller tune featuring Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan that was being used for cyber crime awareness. This caller tune, which played for 40 seconds before every mobile call, had become a source of annoyance for consumers. The Ministry of Communications took this significant step in response to public complaints and delays in emergencies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why was this caller tune launched?</h2>



<p>In view of the rising cases of cyber fraud and digital scams in India, the government had instructed telecom companies to play an awareness message before every call. This message, voiced by Amitabh Bachchan, advised people against fraudulent calls, phishing, and sharing unknown links or OTPs. This initiative was initially lauded, given the thousands of people falling victim to cybercrimes daily in the country. However, the repetitive 40-second message, especially during emergency calls, became a source of frustration for many.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Complaints Lead to Decision Reversal</h2>



<p>For the past few months, social media users had been demanding the discontinuation of this caller tune. Many users described it as “irritating” and a cause of “unnecessary delays”. Sudarshan Gupta, a former BJP MLA from Indore, raised this issue with Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. He highlighted the delays caused by the tune during emergencies, such as calls to ambulances or the police, which could have serious consequences.</p>



<p>Sudarshan Gupta stated, “I myself experienced twice how this tune hindered calls for immediate help to an injured person in a road accident. Even elderly people are complaining about it.” Expressing agreement with his complaint, Jyotiraditya Scindia said, “I too have experienced this problem. Action will be taken soon.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amitabh Bachchan&#8217;s Response</h2>



<p>Amitabh Bachchan was also trolled on social media by some users regarding this caller tune. One user wrote, “Stop talking on the phone, brother.” In response, Big B, in his characteristic witty style, said, “Tell the government, brother, they asked me to do it, so I did.” This response garnered significant attention on social media.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Campaign Ends</h2>



<p>This caller tune was part of a government campaign to raise awareness against cyber criminals. With the campaign now concluded, the government has decided to remove the caller tune.</p>

Gold price down silver follows what is behind the sudden fall


<p><strong>Gold Price Today:</strong> Gold prices witnessed a significant drop on Tuesday in both domestic and global markets. On the MCX exchange, gold futures were trading at ₹98,173 per 10 grams on Tuesday morning, down 1.22% or ₹1215.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Global Market Gold Slump</h2>



<p>Globally, gold prices also experienced a sharp decline on Tuesday. On COMEX, gold futures were trading at $3365.10 per ounce this morning, down 0.88% or $29.90. Meanwhile, spot gold was trading at $3350.21 per ounce, down 0.55% or $18.27.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why the Sudden Drop in Gold Prices?</h2>



<p>Gold prices had been rising for the past few days. However, the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel by US President Donald Trump has impacted the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. This is directly reflected in today&#8217;s gold price drop. Trump stated that both Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire. Following this news, gold in global markets fell to its lowest level in two weeks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are the Experts Saying?</h2>



<p>The ceasefire between Iran and Israel has reduced the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Investors are now focusing on the Federal Reserve. With inflation in the US remaining lower than expected, the Fed may cut rates at its upcoming meeting. If this happens, gold could become more attractive to investors. Experts suggest that ₹97,900 per 10 grams is a support level for MCX gold, while resistance is seen at ₹98,600.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silver Prices</h2>



<p>Along with gold, domestic silver futures prices are also falling today. On the MCX exchange, silver futures opened at ₹106,502 per kilogram, down 0.24%. In early trading, it reached a low of ₹105,905 per kilogram.</p>

These changes will directly impact the common person&#8217;s finances. Let&#8217;s understand what changes are coming into effect for ordinary citizens from 1 July.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Rules for Credit Card Bill Payments</h2>



<p>The Reserve Bank of India is implementing new rules related to credit cards from 1 July.

<p>The global tourism sector was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. India, and Madhya Pradesh in particular, saw an almost complete halt in the arrival of international tourists. However, the year 2024 marked a resurgence for Madhya Pradesh&#8217;s tourism sector. Due to the state government&#8217;s tourism policies, improved infrastructure, and promotional campaigns, there has been a significant return of both domestic and foreign tourists. According to data released by the MP Tourism Board, a total of 13.41 crore tourists visited Madhya Pradesh in 2024, representing an increase of approximately 20 percent compared to the previous year. Of these, 1.67 lakh were foreign tourists, a highly encouraging sign for the tourism sector.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Khajuraho Becomes Top Choice for Foreign Tourists</h2>



<p>Khajuraho, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Bundelkhand region, has once again become a major attraction for foreign tourists. In 2024, 33,131 foreign tourists visited Khajuraho, the highest number for any tourist destination in the state. Besides Khajuraho, Orchha received 13,960 and Gwalior 10,823 foreign tourists. While this number is lower than pre-COVID levels (an average of one lakh foreign tourists annually in Khajuraho), it indicates a positive trend in the tourism sector&#8217;s revival.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Foreign Tourists Show Interest in Tiger Tourism</h2>



<p>Madhya Pradesh&#8217;s famous tiger reserves also successfully attracted foreign tourists. Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve saw 29,192 foreign tourists, Kanha 19,148, Panna 12,762, and Pench 11,272. This clearly shows a growing interest among foreign tourists in Madhya Pradesh&#8217;s wildlife tourism.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mahakaleshwar Temple Attracts Highest Number of Domestic Tourists</h2>



<p>Along with foreign tourists, Khajuraho also witnessed a large presence of domestic tourists. In 2024, 4.89 lakh Indian tourists visited Khajuraho. Meanwhile, the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain saw the largest crowd among religious tourist sites, with over 7.32 crore devotees. Furthermore, Bhojpur received 35.91 lakh, Maheshwar 13.53 lakh, and Gwalior 9 lakh tourists. Along with religious and cultural tourism, the state&#8217;s rich heritage is also attracting people. In 2024, the state&#8217;s historical heritage sites attracted over 80 lakh tourists.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growing Importance of World Heritage Sites</h2>



<p>Madhya Pradesh&#8217;s identity is also established on the global map due to its UNESCO World Heritage sites. Currently, the state has three permanent and 15 tentative heritage sites. The permanent list includes the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, the Bhimbetka rock shelters, and the Sanchi Stupa. Orchha&#8217;s historical group is prominent on the tentative list. Principal Secretary of the Tourism Department, Shiv Shekhar Shukla, stated that Madhya Pradesh is a culturally, naturally, and spiritually rich state in India. Due to the government&#8217;s tourist-friendly policies and promotional campaigns, 2024 has been a historic year for tourism.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact of Government Initiatives</h2>



<p>The Madhya Pradesh government has made numerous efforts, including connecting the state&#8217;s tourist destinations with smart facilities, investing in infrastructure, and international promotion. Furthermore, schemes like e-guides, heritage walks, adventure tourism, eco-tourism, and hospitality training are also attracting tourists. Post-corona, 2024 brought new energy, hope, and opportunities for the tourism industry. Destinations like Khajuraho, Orchha, Panna, Ujjain, Maheshwar, and Gwalior are once again becoming the first choice for international and domestic tourists. If this trend continues, Madhya Pradesh may establish itself even more firmly on the world tourism map in the coming years.</p>


<p>The year 2024 has been a resurgence for Madhya Pradesh&#8217;s tourism sector. Due to the state government&#8217;s tourism policies, improved infrastructure, and promotional campaigns, there has been a significant return of not only domestic but also international tourists to the state.</p>
