He said there were 12 requests sent to the government.

Moradabad: Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the RSS attends the Makar Sankranti Utsav in Moradabad, on Saturday, January 18, 2020. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Mohan Bhagwat said Saturday his group has no connection with politics and it only works to uplift the country’s political, economic, and human values.
The president of the RSS was in Moradabad with RSS staff for a four-day programme.At the conclusion of the event, addressing a large gathering, Bhagwat said that people from all walks of life are part of the organization, while some also run political parties.
“Elections tell us nothing. We are working over the last 60 years to maintain the country’s values, “he said. He also denied that the Bharatiya Janata Party was “remote controlling” the RSS pointing out that the organization worked for all 130 crore Indians. Working on the organisation, the 69-year-old explained that even if they do not come to their shakhas (activity camps) but should have the philosophy of national dignity, anyone can be called an RSS worker. Citing a meeting of the founder of the Bhoodan Movement Vinoba Bhave and former chief of the RSS M S Golwalkar, he said that the social reformer was a friend of the latter with the same philosophy, but not a member of the organization.
“There are so many top-class academics and social reformers who have our philosophy and not our allies. That is our success, “he proclaimed. Bhagwat said if one wants to spread one’s philosophy then gaining power is necessary. “Swami Vivekananda always used intellect and spirituality to fight for strength. So, always try to be strong, flourishing and safe, “he said. Russia, China, and the United States are strong problem-creating nations, and the United States is losing its independence, he said.
Bhagwat said that when it was founded in 1925, the RSS operated with very few people but developed into an organisation with 1,3 lakh branches across the country because of continued commitment to nation-building. In describing their work, he said that they adhered to the Indian Constitution preamble and welcomed all individuals who wished to serve the nation to come forward without any personal interest. Bhagwat cited several examples during his one-hour address to describe RSS’s work in the interests of Hindu ism, culture and history. Incidentally, he said that “all Indians are Hindus” because all of their ancestors were Hindus. He added that many countries have raised slogans of’ unity from diversity,’ but’ diversity from unity exists in India. Notably, Bhagwat has not commented on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the Citizens National Register.
A delegation of 15 residents from Prabhag, the Nagpur City Congress Committee and Congress Legal Cell met with Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar, Additional Commissioner Ram Joshi and Assistant Commissioner Prakash Varade from the Dharampeth District, and submitted a memorandum highlighting enormous difficulties faced by people following poor quality and uneven construction of cement roads in town. The delegation said a network of cement roads is being established in the town. Inner cement roads under Prabhag 15 are being constructed in Dharampeth, Gadga and Gawlipura. Notwithstanding notifying the contractor and local corporator, the amount of cement roads has risen above the houses along the roads. This uneven construction has pushed a tight spot for citizens. People are exposed to numerous risks when conducting their daily tasks as contractors neglected basic safety considerations when carrying out work on the cement roads. Water gushed into resident’s houses during the recent rains. In fact, low building quality has raised resident’s woes. Instead of eliminating Reliance Jio Internet’s illegally built chambers, the contractor has raised the height of the chambers and brought them down to road level. One can imagine what would happen if someone were to lose balance on the rough road surface and the disparity in depth between tar road and the newly constructed concrete road is more troubling. The contractor should have ensured that this site is levelled equally during the construction period to ensure smooth vehicle passage. With officials less interested in monitoring the ongoing construction of concrete roads, contractors are busy designing more and more puzzles for road users, the delegation said.
The delegation was headed by Nagpur City Congress Committee Executive Member and Adv Akshay Samarth MPCC Legal Cell Secretary. Copies of the memorandum were also sent to the office of Major Sandeep Joshi, Deputy Mayor Manisha Kothekar, Health Officer, Opposition Leader in NMC.Reportedly, Municipal Commissioner Bangar told the delegation that the problem persists throughout the city, and not only in Prabhag 15. Nevertheless, taking serious note of the difficulties residents are facing, Bangar immediately phoned concerned officials and instructed them to undertake appropriate measures to reduce residents problems. Additional Commissioner Ram Joshi also listened to the residents’ grievances and promised that they would be looked into. Assistant Commissioner Varade has told himself that they will check the cement roads.Other delegation leaders include Devendra Rotele, Yugal Vidhavat, Yogesh Yersamwar, Adv Abhay Randive, Adv Ujwal Raut, Adv Shabana Divan, Adv Sunita Paul, Adv Archana Gajbhiye, Ramprasad Chaudhary, Rambhau Bante, Vivek Patkar, Naresh Naidu, Vishal Sayre, Nikhil Naidu, Chandan Pande, Dharampeth, Gadga, Gawlipura and Ramdaspeth.
The temple town of Shirdi in Maharashtra, known for the saint Sai Baba of the 19th century, will be’ closed indefinitely’ from 19 January as a mark of protest against the recent comment by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray describing Pathri in the district of Parbhani as the birthplace of the venerated saint and allocating Rs 100 crore for its development. The Sai Baba Samadhi administrative body took the decision to call for an indefinite shutdown. Speaking to the news agency, member of the Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, Bhausaheb Wakchaure, said, “We have announced the closure of Shirdi on 19 January against rumors. Tomorrow evening a meeting of villagers will be held to discuss the matter. Devotees won’t face any difficulties if they come to Shirdi. “Local residents are reported’ extremely upset’ at the portrayal of Pathri as the birthplace of Sai Baba by the chief minister. Locals claim that there is no record available on the birthplace of Sai Baba and suggest that during his stay in Shirdi, Sai Baba himself never shared any details on his birthplace or religion. While the town is conducting an indefinite shutdown, the temple itself and all its units were held outside the bandh’s purview. Similarly, Maharashtra State Regional Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses will run on roads and hotels will operate as normal. However, public transportation is likely to be affected and could present obstacles to tourists visiting the temple city by air or rail.

A tiger whose front left paw was amputated after being wrapped in a steel trap set by poachers in 2012 will get a prosthetic limb on Saturday, with the doctor treating the big cat saying the operation is a world first. A tiger whose front left paw had been amputated after being wrapped in a steel trap set by poachers in 2012 will get a prosthetic limb on Saturday, with the doctor treating the big one. The project has been collaborated over the past two years by a team of orthopedic surgeon Shushrut Babhulkar, veterinary doctor Shirish Upadhyay, medical staff from Maharashtra Animal and Fisheries Science University (MAFSU), in addition to experts from IIT-Bombay and abroad. At the newly opened Gorewada Rescue Center in Nagpur, eight-year-old Sahebrao, mutilated near a waterhole in Palasagaon forest range in Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Chandrapur district in 2012, when it was just two years old, is held.
“When I first saw it in 2018, Sahebrao was massive but was unable to walk and would continuously growl in pain. We took X-rays, measurements, etc. as part of the procedure for fitting the prosthetic arm. Two to three months ago, we operated on a nerve that caused the tiger pain,” Shushrut Babhulkar told PTI. Shushrut Babhulkar added that the dislocation of one of its joints was treated next as was the fracture which was not healing for a long time.” The final part of the mission will take place on Saturday. We will fit a specially designed prothetic limb after consultation with an international medical expert forum. Veterinary surgeon Shirish Upadhay will be in charge of the operation,” said Shushrut Babhulkar. Shushrut Babhulkar is unable to operate on the tiger, as he is not a vet. He told that Leeds professor Peter Janadice will also participate in the operation.” This is the first time that something like this happens anywhere in the world,” said Shushrut Babhulkar.
Managing her household waste is not a choice for Shefali Dudhbade but a way of life. The 46-year-old from Nagpur, a professional architect by profession and an environmentalist by heart, is setting an example for ordinary citizens who feel that municipal corporations are solely responsible for dealing with garbage.
“My kitchen waste, which accounts for 60% of my household waste, takes 15 minutes to treat,” Shefali tells The Better India, dissipating the time-consuming myth. Now, imagine if 50% of the country’s households devote a few minutes to composting on-site, India would significantly reduce its annual wet waste. Shefali credits her upbringing for her decisions in favour of the environment.
Shefali Dudhbade
“My grandfather would often get a litter from outside and out of paper or plastic make something useful. He always said if we are so aware of keeping our homes clean then why do we leave our surroundings dirty? The simple thought has made me a minimalist girl, “Shefali shares.
She is also a founding member of the Swachh Association, working with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to raise awareness about city waste management. She has treated 90 per cent of the waste for the last ten years, while only a fraction goes to the landfill.
Isn’t that breathtaking?
Shefali lists five troubleshooting steps to help you cut the waste.
1. Waste Segregation
Divide waste into five categories: a) Non-recyclables: Used paper towels, hazardous chemical or food containers, plastic products, and dishware are just a few examples of waste that can not be recycled or reused. Shefali hands over this form of waste to the NMC (which amounts to only eight per cent of its total waste).
B) Recyclables: PET bottles, plastic carrying bags, magazines, clothing, table cloth, glass, plastic cups are some items which can be stopped from being sent to landfill if properly separated. Shefali gives these to the city’s plastic recycling centres or creatively turns them into useful products such as pen stands, containers, plant pots, etc.
C) Wet: both kitchen and garden waste is composted by Shefali.
D) Sanitary: keeping the sanitary pads aside is the most important aspect of segregation, as it can discourage ragpickers or waste collectors from exposing themselves to health risks.
E) E-waste: Holds cardboard where all electronic waste such as batteries, remote controls and wires are stored. She sends them out to the local electronic waste collection centre once a year.
2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Refuse
Jaadu ka Pitara’ (magic box), is how the friends of Shefali relate to the bag that she carries every time she steps out of her home. It contains a bottle of water, fabric or paper bags, paper straws and a box so she can reject something containing plastic.
“It’s not possible to eliminate plastic so the next best thing is to reject it. Start by carrying a cloth bag, as it takes up very little space in your bag. Be mindful of your schedule, and the locations that you visit regularly. Gradually form a jaadu ka pitara of your own, “she says.
As for recycling or reuse, she makes paper bags from magazines, pamphlets and distributes them to medical and general supply stores free of charge. Creating a paper-bag takes as little as five minutes.
She also gives paper cuttings to vegetable and flower vendors, “Now with the plastic ban, newspaper covers come handy for them.”
3. Composting
In her backyard, Shefali dug a small composting pit. Both kitchen and garden waste is first dried for 2-3 days on a newspaper, before being applied to the pit.
It takes nearly 45 days to convert organic waste, such as bulbs, seeds, fruit peels, vegetables, eggshells, coffee or tea powder into fresh organic compost, which is used in her terrace garden.
4. Medical Waste

Shefali and her daughter ensure they properly wrap their monthly sanitary waste in a newspaper before giving it to the waste collector. The most important step, she says, is putting a red dot on this medical waste. “Ragpickers or waste collectors rummage on landfills by waste, so they can make money by selling dry garbage. Many even go through the waste pile to find leftover food inside a newspaper, normally. They often open the newspaper to find a used sanitary pad with their bare hands and nothing can be more inhuman than this. It is our responsibility to ensure that they are not exposed to such waste by simply placing a red dot on the paper with a marker, “Shefali informs.
5. Fallen Hair
Have you ever come across or heard of someone who gathers and washes their own fallen hair?
Sounds bizarre, right?
Well, while sweeping, Shefali collects fallen hair, and stores it in a container. She washes it once or twice a month with shampoo and hands it to companies that deal with waste hair recycling.
Managing Your Own Waste Is A Matter of Pride
Degradation of the environment is inevitable with the depletion of our natural resources, the fuming of landfills and forest burning.
We may not be able, as individuals, to stop or reverse the impending crisis. Nevertheless, what we can do is to avoid further destruction of the environment, by reflecting on our actions.
Next, you can handle your own waste or cut down on garbage generation with people like Shefali proving it’s not a challenging job.
