UNION MINISTER
NARAYAN RANE
LOSES IMPORTANT
COURT BATTLE
high court penalising
a Union minister is a
rare but refreshing
happening in the
country
. The Bombay
High Court has done just that. It
has ordered Union minister
Narayan Rane to pay a fine of Rs
10 lakh and demolish the illegal
construction he carried out in
his eight-storey plush bungalow
at Juhu. It was in March this
year that the Mumbai Municipal
Corporation asked Rane to re-
movetheunauthorisedconstruc-
tion. The Maha Vikas Aghadi
government which was then in
power had informed the high
court that it was withdrawing
the demolition notice served on
Rane, who was regarded as BJP’s
most potent weapon against the
previous government.
The High Court has given the
BMC two weeks’ time to carry
out the demolition but refused to
grant a week’s stay on the order’s
implementation on Rane’s re-
quest. After Kangana Ranaut’s
illegal structure, this is the sec-
ondhigh-profilecaseinMumbai.
In the actor’s case, though, the
BMC had to eat a humble pie.
A
fter going through
turbulent years
of terrorism, Sri-
nagar is taking
small steps to put
its bloody past behind for a
better and peaceful future.
Ghulam Nabi Azad’s return
to pick up the threads after
breaking away from the Con-
gress points to the revival of
the political process in the
Valley
. The Farooq Abdullah-
led National Conference is
also expected to participate
in the elections whenever
they are held. Hopefully, that
wait won’t be endless.
Politics is only one way to
ensure participation of peo-
ple who have for decades lived
in fear and under suspicion.
Themassexodusof Kashmiri
Pandits from the Valley was a
turning point after terror
groups backed by Pakistan
and jihadis grabbed control.
Now that the nightmarish
and obscurantist phase has
ended, the other more impor-
tant step is to bring the soci-
ety to life through entertain-
ment. The move will also give
commercial activities a push
and also bring Bollywood
back to the Valley
.

Nabanna Abhiyan: WB BJP wakes
up from its political hibernation?
The BJP despite all its
might could not oust the
TMC in the Assembly
elections in 2021, but two
years ago in 2019, the
Saffron party had managed
a tally of 18 Lok Sabha
seats in West Bengal and
this was a rise of 16 seats
from its tally of two seats in
2014. Subsequently, the
BJP may not have reached
the magic three-figure mark
in the 2021 Assembly polls
but it rose from a mere 3
seats in 2016 to 77 in 2021
and established itself as a
formidable Opposition
in the state. However,
thereafter the BJP had
some dismal performances
in local body polls
JP’s recent Nabanna Abhi-
yan was witnessed after a lull
that lasted for more than a
year. The Saffron party had
put in all its might in West
Bengal’s last year crucial As-
sembly election and follow-
ing its post-poll performance,
the party, in the state, had
seen a lot of transformation.
However, with last Tues-
day’s action, it seems that the
BJP wants to put all that in
flashback mode and is raring
to go ahead with renewed vig-
our. The party’s Nabanna Ab-
hiyan was one of its biggest
campaigns in West Bengal in
recent times.
With a little over two years
left for the crucial Lok Sabha
election, the BJP again seems
to be upbeat and the national
leadership is also taking keen
interest in West Bengal’s po-
litical developments. With the
recent raids by the Enforce-
ment Directorate and sum-
moning of TMC leaders in
cases of alleged corruption,
on Ground Zero, the grass-
roots workers of the Saffron
partyhavebeenworkinghard
to mobilise the cadre and in-
duct youth into the party fold.
It may be recalled that dur-
ing a visit to West Bengal in
May 2022, Union Home Min-
ister Amit Shah had assured
state BJP leaders as well as
the cadre that he would di-
rectly monitor the party’s
activities in the state unit.
This, perhaps, has boosted
the cadre which was feeling
left out after the Assembly
election drubbing and the
subsequent “silence” of sorts
of the state unit leaders for
all these months.
The appointment of Sunil
Bansal as the West Bengal
observer has infused a lot of
zeal among the ranks. The
appointment and his visit
last month have boosted the
confidence of the state unit.
Also, “The videos of cash re-
covered in the ED raids
shown on the media repeat-
edly gave confidence to the
party cadre too and most be-
lieve that the state unit’s al-
legation against TMC has
been taken seriously by the
party’s central leadership.
It seems that the BJP’s Ben-
gal unit which was complete-
ly silent has again regained
its inertia. On Tuesday, with
Bansal in the state, the boost-
ed party had started its Na-
bannaAbhiyan.TheAbhiyan
was capable of bringing to-
gether all the top rung lead-
ers of the state unit together.
It seemed that the party lit-
erally woke up from its slum-
berinWB.However,stateBJP
leaders said it was not a “one-
day miracle” and that the
leadership had “been active
on Ground Zero”. Also, state
organisation secretary Ami-
tava Chakraborty, appointed
in October 2020, was involved
in building a “strong young
cadre base” across West Ben-
gal. Chakraborty, with his
RSS-ABVP background, had
worked and campaigned vig-
orously on the Centre’s wel-
fare schemes in West Bengal.
The party’s current leader-
ship combo also seems to be
settlingdownandisgradually
finding its stance. With the ap-
pointmentof SukantaMajum-
dar as the state unit’s chief in
September 2021, the party’s
top rung leaders earned lau-
rels from their bosses in Delhi
for their Abhiyan.
BJP’s national president
JP Nadda recently appointed
former Bihar minister Man-
gal Pandey the state in-
charge for West Bengal. The
party’s IT Cell chief Amit
Malviya is already working
with the state unit since No-
vember 2020, and national
secretary Asha Lakhra are
the co in-charges.
WHAT IS IN STORE?
With Bihar chief minister
Nitish Kumar severing ties
with BJP, the Saffron party
has again set its eyes on West
Bengal’s 42 Lok Sabha seats
to compensate for the report-
ed loss in Bihar.
It may be recalled that the
BJP-led National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) had managed
to win 39 of the 40 parliamen-
tary seats in Bihar in 2019.
However, this time, BJP
, in or-
der to remain on top will have
to ensure an adequate number
of seats in West Bengal, Odis-
ha,Jharkhand,andTelangana.
WiththeNabannaAbhiyan,
the party workers who had
lost steam, seems to be a spir-
ited lot. A boosted BJP now
looks to be in an upbeat mood
especially with Amit Shah’s
recent visit which provided
fresh hopes to the state cadre
whichappeareddisillusioned.
The workers on the ground
now feel that Shah and then
Bansal did the needful to bol-
ster their faith and believe
thatthecentralleadershiphad
not taken a “soft approach”
towardstheTMCgovernment.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
B
It may be recalled that
during a visit to WB in
May 2022, Union HM
Amit Shah had assured
state BJP leaders as well as
the cadre that he would
directly monitor the party’s
activities in state unit. This,
perhaps, has boosted the
cadre which was feeling left
out after the Assembly
election drubbing and the
subsequent “silence” of
sorts of the state unit
leaders for all these months

he was reinstated into the IAS in April 2022 and was
subsequently appointed in the Ministry of Culture.

Liquor scam: AAP
govt under fresh
attack from BJP
New Delhi (ANI): With
theendlesswarof words
betweentheAamAadmi
Party and the Centre
over the alleged liquor
scam in Delhi, the
Bharatiya Janata Party
on Tuesday levelled a
fresh set of allegations
at the ruling party in the
national capital.
Addressing a press
conference here, BJP
spokesperson Gaurav
Bhatia alleged that the
AAP gave the liquor
contract to its candi-
date Karanjit Singh
Lamba “ignoring all the
rules”.
“It has become clear
from the sting opera-
tion how Arvind Kejri-
wal makes a recovery.
How they earn black
money and how people
are looted. Delhi gov-
ernmentgaveL7licence
to universal distribu-
tors. One of universal
distributors partner is
Charanjit Singh Lam-
ba, a close aide of Kejri-
wal, CR park ward can-
didate of AAP,” he al-
leged.
Bhatia claimed that
no transparency was
maintained in the im-
plementation of the
new excise police
(which now stands
scrapped), and asked if
Kejriwal did not get
money from the “back-
door”. “Out of the writ-
ten off Rs 144 crores, Rs
66 crores belonged to
KS Lamba. No transpar-
ency
. Their only motive
is dishonesty. We want
to ask Kejriwal, did he
not get money from the
back door? When
Arvind Kejriwal makes
a statement, there are
no facts and evidence in
it. But when the
Bharatiya Janata Party
puts forth any point, it
keeps it with proof.
That’s why Kejriwal
doesn’t answer a single
question,” he said.

anti-drug operations
conducted in the state,
Union Finance Minis-
try said on Tuesday
.

Wrong DOB of IAS
sends DOPT in tizzy
Ahtesham Siddiqui
Lucknow: Change in
the date of birth of a
senior IAS officer in Ut-
tar Pradesh bureaucra-
cy has caused a stir from
DOPT to Lucknow ap-
pointment department.
This is the latest case
related to Shahid Man-
jar Abbas Rizvi, a 2006
batch IAS officer, whose
dateof birthintheUttar
Pradesh government is
recorded as August 31,
1965. Accordingly, his
retirement will be on
August 31, 2025.
But his date of birth
has been wrongly re-
corded as August 31,
1961 in the Centre’s
DOPT records....accord-
ing to which his retire-
ment should have been
on August 31, 2021.
Work was going on in
DOPT to publish the
gradation list for the
year 2023 in which the
data of IAS officers
posted in all the state is
updated. However, the
officer in question is
currently in service.
When DOPT contacted
the appointment de-
partment of UP to con-
firm his birth, the
DOPT was told that in
all the records present
in UP, the date of birth
denoted is August 31,
1965. This raised a per-
tinent question as to
how did the record
change in DOPT?

to leave all the cats
alone, but we are finally

PROPOSAL SENT FOR
THREE NEW ROUTES
AT SARISKA RESERVE
‘INITIATIVE WILL BRING NEW ERA OF DEV’
Jaipur: Proposals for
three new routes in Saris-
ka Tiger Reserve are in. At
present, safari in Sariska
is done only on three
routes. Out of which, two
routes are old, while one
route was opened last
year. Field Director RN
Meena has sent propos-
als for three new routes.
With the opening of Tiger
Park from October 1,
safari on new routes will
be possible. Currently,
tourism takes place in
only five per cent of area
of the Sariska. SBWL
member Sunil Mehta had
suggested increasing it to
20 per cent.

said, INAE Youth Conclave 2022 organised by IIT
Jodhpur has been organised to encourage budding
engineers and develop them into successful leaders,
innovators and successful entrepreneurs. We are

try into a new era of prosperity and development.

given to the remaining nine leopards, five tigers
and four lions. The lack of coordination between
the Senior Veterinarian and the Range officers
has resulted in the death of the big cats.

RAJ COPS IN DELHI

Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: Addressing the
members of the Ra-
jasthan Legislative As-
sembly during a felici-
tation ceremony organ-
ised in his honour,
Jagdeep Dhankhar
said, When I was the
Governor of West Ben-
gal, I had sought help
from Vasundhara Raje.
I asked her that since
my CM is Mamata Ba-
nerjee, so tell me about
any magic.”
Remembering GC Ka-
taria, Kailash Meghwal
Rajendra Rathore,
Dhankhar said, “I had
campaigned for Rajen-
dra Rathore and I also
did magic that Rathore
never lost.” Interest-
ingly, hearing this, CM
Gehlot also smiled, as
Dhankhar continued, “I
learned this magic
from Devilal Bhairon
Singh. Where Bhairon
Singh Shekhawat was, I
am today. There is no
greater achievement for
me than this.”
He stressed the need
for political parties to
come on a common plat-
form and resolve their
differences through a
consensual approach.
“Parliament and legis-
lature are the key to a
healthy democracy.
How can public repre-
sentatives behave like
this? I can understand
the pain of CP Joshi
and Kailash Meghwal,”
he said. Dhankhar
thanked Speaker Joshi
and all Members of the
Rajasthan Legislative
Assembly
.
Meanwhile, CM
Ashok Gehlot said, “I
have had a relationship
with Dhankhar sahib
for 50 years. Your role
as Governor and Mama-
ta Banerjee’s role as
CM, the relationship of
both of you remained
the subject of discus-
sion in the whole coun-
try. But when you be-
come the candidate for
vice president, Mamata
Banerjee indirectly
supported you. Mamata
Banerjee’s MPs were
absent in the election. I
am a magician, then
how did you do magic? I
am the greatest magi-
cian, so has there ever
been a greater magician
than me?” Listening to
this, Dhankhar burst in
laughter.
Gehlot further added,
“I made the first call
when you became the
Vice President. You al-
ways increased the re-
spect and honour of the
people of Rajasthan.”
Speaker Joshi said, “I
am the first Speaker
who welcomed you as
Governor and Vice
President. Now your
role will also be as the
Speaker of the Upper
House of Parliament.”
LoP Gulab Chand Ka-
taria said, “This is not
only a welcome to
Dhankhar but to 6 crore
people of Rajasthan.”
We all have and make
time for the things we
really want.

Jaipur: To overcome
the present coal short-
age due to mining con-
straints from Parsa
East and Kante Basan
(PEKB) coal mines and
to provide adequate
coal to thermal power
plants of Rajasthan, Ra-
jasthan Energy Minis-
ter Bhanwar Singh
Bhati, Principal Secre-
tary, Energy Depart-
ment Bhaskar A
Sawant, Chairman and
Managing Director of
Rajasthan Vidyut Ut-
padan Nigam RK Shar-
ma and Additional
Chief Engineer (Fuel)
Devendra Shringi held
a meeting with with Un-
ion Coal Minister Pral-
had Joshi, Union Coal
Secretary Anil Jain and
other officers in New
Delhi.
In the meeting, it was
agreed to increase three
coal rakes from NCL,
SECL and MCL to Ra-
jasthan in view of the
shortfall in the availa-
bility of coal. Now the
power stations of the
state will get 6 coal
rakes per day from NCL
and 4 coal rakes per day
from SECL and the sup-
ply of coal rakes cur-
rently being received
from MCL will also be
increased.
Union Coal Minister
Pralhad Joshi asked the
Rajasthan Government
to ensure the arrange-
ment of coal transport
by Rail Sea Rail Route
(RSR mode) also to in-
crease offtake of coal
from MCL so that the
problem of traffic con-
gestion in rail route can
be dealt with. The Coal
Minister directed Rail-
way representatives to
divert railway rakes as
per the demand of the
Generation Corpora-
tion so that all the pow-
er stations of Rajasthan
get coal as per the re-
quirement. The Union
Coal Minister stressed
upon Raj government to
start PEKB mines soon
after holding talks with
Chhattisgarh govt. Lat-
er during the day, Bhan-
war Singh Bhati along
with Bhaskar A Sawant
and RK Sharma also
called upon the Union
Power Minister, RK Sin-
gh. Singh said, “ Steps
have been taken in view
of coal shortage. Every
possible effort will be
made to supply coal
based on ‘Rail- Ship-
Rail Mode.’

COAL CRISIS LOOMS LARGE
Energy Minister Bhanwar Singh Bhati attends a meeting chaired
by Union Minister for Coal Pralhad Joshi at Shastri Bhawan in
New Delhi on Tuesday.
The delegation from Rajasthan while effectively pre-
senting the state’s side in the meeting stating that
the increase of 3 rakes of coal will not completely solve
the problem of coal in the power plants of Rajasthan,
but it will definitely help in dealing with the situation.
During the meeting, it was suggested by the Union Coal
Secretary to buy power in addition to the 380 MW
currently being procured from CGPL in view of the short-
age of coal so that the coal stock in the power stations of
Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam could be increased.

ing to a statement. The decision was taken by Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot, said the statement, adding that he has ap-
proved the draft guidelines for the scheme.

beauty of this
bird can not be

this compelled me to
think about the beauty
of nature. The beauty
of a bird is devoted to
all things feathered and
the protection of na-

tures. And even mod-
ern designers could not
restrict themselves
from fetching designs
to adding feathers to
the designer’s collec-
tion. Specifically called
Avian Fixation, this
bird-inspired fashion is
not only attracting
youngsters but has
started dominating the
fashion world keeping
this in mind, City First
brings to you a fall fash-
ion to ruffle your feath-
ers. After embroider-
ing, printing, or appli-
quéing birds on their
garments, designers
tried embellishing the
stones and gems with
floaty feathers on the
designer cloth. Wheth-
er they are designer
eveningwear or party
dresses, designers
made the feathers float
down runways, appear-
ing on both cocktail
and big-event dresses.

SWEET MEMORIES
7 ICE CREAM FLAVOURS
7 ICE CREAM FLAVOURS
We Miss From Our Childhood
We Miss From Our Childhood
nother weekend,
another big family
brunch at the Caul-
dronSisterss’. This
time, our menu had
a theme…of all
things nostalgic.
From that school-inspired
tiffin box combination of
aloo parantha aam ka
achaar to canteen-wala sa-
mosa with a side of mango
bite and kismi bar tof-
fees, we made sure a
lot of those child-
hood memories
were laid on the
table that day. Of
course, this was
followed by our fa-
vourite ice-creams
in the end, some-
thing we want to talk
about in today’s blog.
As we, Ratzz Ritzzy, re-
membered those lovely days,
we realised it was our moth-
er who started building us
those ‘sweet’ memories. To
reach the autorickshaw
stand every time we went to
grandmother’s or the mar-
ket, we had to walk for about
ten minutes. Who likes any
sort of hard work at that age,
but bribed by ice-creams, we
girls never minded the task.
The legendary Orange
Bar had since been a pivotal
part of our lives. Sharing an
orange bar with a friend
while riding bicycles back
home was a thing back then
as well.
Next came those choco-
late cones which were con-
sidered a luxury
. Raise your
hand if you, too, happened
to quickly finish the cone so
you could reach the choco-
late piece at the end. As we
recall, Toddler-Ratzz once
got lucky when her choco-
late cone came half-filled
with chocolate instead of ice
cream. Our friends called it
an ‘achievement’ and we
couldn’t agree more.
Talking about chocolate,
who remembers Chocobar?
That darkness on the
outside hiding
all the sweet
goodness in-
side...nom nom…chocolate
and vanilla is one classic
combination that has never
gone out of fashion to date.
Having said that, as kids, we
secretly wished this choco
bar was filled with chocolate
instead of vanilla, making it
an even more intense affair
for our palates. It wasn’t too
long before our prayers were
answered and Feast entered
the markets.
Talking about weekends,
when the whole family
would go out to eat and end
the gala night with either
pan or ice cream, the mom-
mies in the group always
chose Cassatas and Kulfis.
Cassata was our mother’s
favourite, which she loving-
ly shared with us, especially
the spongy cake part.
Sundays without Sun-
dae? That was never
the case. Ritzzy is
still a lover of sun-
daes; one should
watch her enjoy the
colourful cups
topped with tutti-
frutti like a child.
Pepsicola was an-
other flavour we miss
dearly
. It wasn’t available
in Jaipur at the time, which
meant our annual holidays
in Mumbai had fixed even-
ing treats – Pepsicola. Long
slushy sticks filled with
coke-like tidbit…slurp slurp.
Psst, ice-creams made life
a lot better back then. Long
train and car journeys got
exciting because of popsi-
cles. Boring weddings where
adults socialised, the kids
found each other at the ice
cream counters. At such
gatherings of the 80s and
90s, traditionally, vanilla
was served with either choc-
olate or strawberry flavours.
Remember how kids used to
come up with their own DIY
Sundae cups using those fla-
vours? Ha-ha.
Lastly, can we get an
Amen for the Raspberry and
Mango Dolly? Today, we’ve
multiple options to choose
from creative artisanal ice
cream brands that make
decadent flavours. Regard-
less, we still miss the old
days when taste, aroma and
sense were simpler and
more flavorful.
How wonderful that a
little scoop of ice cream
can trigger so many memo-
ries at once. We’d love to
hear from you and learn
which have been your ever-
lasting ice-cream flavours.
