Goa Police arrested three people from Mysuru, Karnataka, after a video of them harassing two women foreign tourists on a North Goa beach recently went viral. The men can be seen grabbing the women’s arms to pose for photographs with them. They even threw their hands around the foreigners’ shoulders and waists as the women got uncomfortable. A police inspector filed a complaint on behalf of the state, “considering the sensitivity of the matter and the impact it had on perception of tourist safety in Goa”.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed concern over rampant illegal mining in the Aravali range, highlighting its immense damage to the sensitive ecosystem. While reserving verdict on a uniform definition, the court acknowledged the need for sustainable use, with a committee suggesting stringent guidelines for regulated mining alongside conservation efforts.  NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Wednesday said rampant illegal mining in Aravali range, the natural barrier spread across Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Delhi that’s preventing desertification of Gangetic plains, is causing immense damage to the sensitive eco-system. The court reserved verdict on the issue of a uniform definition of what the Aravali range is. Amicus curiae and senior advocate K Parameshwar told a bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices K Vinod Chandran and N V Anjaria that the report submitted by the expert committee set up by the SC in May last year on this issue appears to be oriented towards how to allow mining in the Aravalis rather than focusing on stringent measures to protect it.Need to evolve framework for sustainable use: Panel The entire Aravali Range must be protected as one geographical and morphological entity along with its eco-system and the protective measures cannot be allowed to be varied from state to state. He said along with conservation of Aravali range, restoration of its pristine form is equally important,” Parameshwar said, adding that he must not be understood to advocate blanket ban on mining activities. The bench said a complete ban always leads to rampant illegal mining and we have seen how a hillock in Aravali was reduced to a column and how a road was illegally built in Nuh district for clandestine transportation of mined minerals from Haryana to Rajasthan. Additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati, while complimenting the amicus for his zealous approach towards protection of the Aravali Range, said the SC-appointed committee has addressed every concern of the amicus while giving stringent guidelines for regulated mining under the principle of sustainable development. The bench agreed with her. The committee in its report said that all hillocks have a height of over 100m (from mean sea level) and these should be protected along with its slopes. “Keeping in view the immense ecological and environmental significance of Aravalli hills and ranges, owing to their rich biodiversity and the wide range of ecosystem services they provide, such as groundwater recharge, regulation of desertification, and moderation of the regional microclimate, it becomes imperative to protect and conserve the area from further degradation,” it said. “Core/inviolate areas – protected forests and tiger reserves and one km from their boundaries, eco-sensitive zones, afforestation areas and 500m from Ramsar sites and wetlands – may be designated in the Aravali hills and ranges for prohibiting mining in them,” the committee said. However, the committee flagged that the Aravali range contains well-known repositories of base metals such as lead, zinc, and copper, as well as precious and strategic minerals including gold and tungsten. “In addition, the Aravali-Delhi system has been identified as having significant potential for critical minerals such as tin, graphite, molybdenum, niobium, nickel, lithium, and rare earth elements (REEs), all of which are of growing strategic relevance for energy transition, high-technology manufacturing, and national security,” it said. The committee opined that while the ecological and environmental integrity of the Aravali Hills and Ranges must remain the foremost priority, it is also necessary to evolve a framework that enables sustainable exploitation of critical, strategic and atomic minerals located within the region. “In view of the ecological significance of the Aravali hills and ranges, the committee recommends that the following environmental safeguards and regulatory measures be adopted by respective state governments to encourage systematic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly mining while effectively preventing illegal mining using modern and information technology tools,” it said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Terror May Strike Our Cities…’: Netanyahu Expresses Solidarity With India After Delhi Blast’Heinous Terror Attack’: Cabinet Passes Resolution On Delhi Blast, Swift Probe OrderedIndian Army Showcases Joint Combat Readiness In Jaisalmer During Exercise ‘Akhand Prahar’Red Fort Blast Had A Bigger Plan: Faridabad Doctor’s January 26 Recces Raise Chilling Questions’R&D Must Be Seen As Investment, Not Expenditure’: DRDO Chief Samir V KamatPenpa Tsering’s ‘No Hanuman’ Remark: Tibet’s Stark Message on Geography, Peace, and SurvivalAfter Spending 16 Years on Death Row, ‘Nithari Killer’ Surinder Koli Set Free by Supreme CourtGujarat: 2 Workers Killed, 20 Injured After Boiler Explosion At Pharma Factory In BharuchDelhi Blast: PM Modi Meets Victims At LNJP Hospital, Promises Swift Action Against Attack CulpritsIndia’s Growth Story Is Built On Scale, Youth, And Resilience, Says World Bank Economist123PhotostoriesKajol’s unforgettable performances that transformed the image of Bollywood heroinesTop Harvard doctor shares 4 high-fiber foods you’re ignoring10 tomato dishes from around the worldFrom grey to flaky: 4 signs in hair that may link to a nutrient deficiencyLearning the long game: Warren Buffett’s 5 quotes to inspire studentsIsabgol vs Chia seeds: Which is the better source of fiber and why5 expert-approved shots for a healthy gut and glowing skinFrom ‘Dushman’ to ‘Sangharsh’: Ashutosh Rana’s scariest roles that still haunt usKriti Sanon’s blush pink saree whispers romance!8 Italian concepts that will change your life123Hot PicksBihar Election CandidatesBihar Election ConstituenciesBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingMarshawn KneelandJoy TaylorMarvin Harrison JrAJ BrownMagic JohnsonMichael Willis Cause of DeathLaMelo BallStephen CurryGiannis AntetokounmpoMichael Duarte Cause of Death

NEW DELHI: Jammu and KashmirLieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said “our neighbouring country” — an obvious reference to Pakistan — and some terrorist elements based in the J&K were trying to disrupt the Union territory’s progress from one where three decades is terrorism had destroyed the local youths’ aspirations, to one with a fear-free environment and a safe, supportive and inclusive system for youths to realise their dreams.“We must be alert against such ecosystem and work together to foil their efforts,” he advised while addressing the valedictory function of Islamic University of Science and Technology’s foundation day in Srinagar.Sinha said the young professionals of J&K are finally fulfilling their dreams and aspirations, thanks to the past 5-6 years of tireless, dedicated work and many sacrifices of the J&K police, Army, intelligence agencies and the security forces.“Jammu Kashmir has created its new destiny, a new identity and woven new dreams. This must be protected at all costs and those trying to shatter the dreams of our youth must be strictly dealt with,” the LG said. Later, while inaugurating the International Film Festival in Srinagar, Sinha exhorted the film-makers to come up with films that narrate the ordeal of terror victims, expose the ringleaders of terror ecosystem and showcase the transformation after August 2019. He said people must expose the enemies of peace by providing information about them to the police and security agencies, so that the entire terror ecosystem hiding behind cover of the society is neutralised and a befitting reply given to evil intentions of the neighbouring country.“Society must come together to guard this peace, progress, joy and renewed hope,” said the LG seeking the cooperation of all sections of the public.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has rejected a plea to transfer the investigation into senior Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar’s suicide to the CBI. The court found no unnecessary delay or laxity in the ongoing probe, noting that 14 individuals have been named as accused and 22 witnesses have been examined. CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana high court has refused to hand over the investigation into the suicide of senior Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar to CBI. “There does not appear any unnecessary delay or laxity in the investigation of the case to date. In view of the above, no case for handing over the case to CBI is made out,” the bench headed by Chief Justice Sheel Nagu observed on Wednesday and dismissed a plea seeking a CBI probe. The Chief Justice further observed, “To satisfy the guidelines the apex court has directed to be adhered to while handing over investigation to an independent agency or not, unfortunately, there was no satisfactory answer to that from the petitioner.” The petitioner, Navneet Kumar, 43, a resident of Ludhiana in Punjab, had submitted that neither had any arrest been made nor any officer joined the investigation. The standing counsel for Union Territory of Chandigarh informed the bench that 14 persons were arrayed as accused and 22 witnesses examined and their statements recorded. CCTV footage related to the incident was taken into possession and saved for further probe and material related to the incident sent to the CFSL Chandigarh for further examination, the counsel said. “The petitioner has no locus standi in the case. The FIR was registered immediately after receiving the complaint. The next day, a SIT was constituted by the UT police. The petition is purely a publicity stunt, as there is no delay on the part of the police in this matter,” senior advocate Amit Jhanji, representing the UT administration, told high court. After examining the matter, the bench ordered the dismissal of the petition. Kumar was found dead in Chandigarh on Oct 7. In a note supposedly written by him, he had alleged caste-based discrimination by fellow officers.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Terror May Strike Our Cities…’: Netanyahu Expresses Solidarity With India After Delhi Blast’Heinous Terror Attack’: Cabinet Passes Resolution On Delhi Blast, Swift Probe OrderedIndian Army Showcases Joint Combat Readiness In Jaisalmer During Exercise ‘Akhand Prahar’Red Fort Blast Had A Bigger Plan: Faridabad Doctor’s January 26 Recces Raise Chilling Questions’R&D Must Be Seen As Investment, Not Expenditure’: DRDO Chief Samir V KamatPenpa Tsering’s ‘No Hanuman’ Remark: Tibet’s Stark Message on Geography, Peace, and SurvivalAfter Spending 16 Years on Death Row, ‘Nithari Killer’ Surinder Koli Set Free by Supreme CourtGujarat: 2 Workers Killed, 20 Injured After Boiler Explosion At Pharma Factory In BharuchDelhi Blast: PM Modi Meets Victims At LNJP Hospital, Promises Swift Action Against Attack CulpritsIndia’s Growth Story Is Built On Scale, Youth, And Resilience, Says World Bank Economist123PhotostoriesKajol’s unforgettable performances that transformed the image of Bollywood heroinesTop Harvard doctor shares 4 high-fiber foods you’re ignoring10 tomato dishes from around the worldFrom grey to flaky: 4 signs in hair that may link to a nutrient deficiencyLearning the long game: Warren Buffett’s 5 quotes to inspire studentsIsabgol vs Chia seeds: Which is the better source of fiber and why5 expert-approved shots for a healthy gut and glowing skinFrom ‘Dushman’ to ‘Sangharsh’: Ashutosh Rana’s scariest roles that still haunt usKriti Sanon’s blush pink saree whispers romance!8 Italian concepts that will change your life123Hot PicksBihar Election CandidatesBihar Election ConstituenciesBihar Election 2025Gold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays NovemberBank Holidays NovemberTop TrendingMarshawn KneelandJoy TaylorMarvin Harrison JrAJ BrownMagic JohnsonMichael Willis Cause of DeathLaMelo BallStephen CurryGiannis AntetokounmpoMichael Duarte Cause of Death
