Nihang Sikhs interact with officials and a delegation from Punjab after ending their standoff at Nagrasu Gurudwara, in Rudraprayag. Five Nihangs, who had remained stationed on the roof of the gurdwara since Saturday, relented after talks with a delegation of Nihangs from Punjab and local authorities. (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: A standoff between a group of Nihangs and the Uttarakhand administration at the Himachal Pradesh-Uttarakhand border ended early Friday after negotiations, with the group returning to Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh under police escort.The development ended hours of tension at the Kulhal checkpoint in Dehradun’s Vikasnagar area, where Nihangs had clashed with police, breached barricades and attempted to march towards Hemkund Sahib. The group also called off its planned protest over the June 16 Karnaprayag clash.According to officials, the Nihangs left the Race Course Gurdwara in Dehradun around 3.30 am in two vehicles after talks with police and district authorities.Dehradun senior superintendent of Police Pramendra Dobal said the administration had maintained heavy deployment at the border throughout the day and thanked members of the Sikh community for cooperating.”A few people had crossed the area (the checkpoint), and one or two vehicles had proceeded along the route. We spoke to them at length, and they, too, agreed to return,” Dobal told PTI.District magistrate Ashish Chauhan said the situation was resolved peacefully.”Our Nihang sahibans returned to Paonta Sahib. Around 150 Nihang Sikhs already present in Paonta Sahib extended their full cooperation, bringing the situation under control,” Chauhan told PTI.The protest stemmed from the arrest of four Nihangs following a June 16 clash with locals in Karnaprayag market. The protesters had demanded their release, alleging one-sided police action. They had also said they wanted to continue their pilgrimage to Hemkund Sahib peacefully while seeking a resolution to the dispute.The issue had also led to a separate protest at the Nagarasu Gurdwara in Rudraprayag district earlier this week, which ended after discussions between the administration, gurdwara management and Nihang representatives.(With inputs from PTI)Get the latest India news and live updates.

If someone is corrupt, he takes 15 crore rupees and leaves the party, what will you do with him? Will you punish him? Tell me.”More recently, after six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs joined the Shinde faction, Raut again courted controversy by referring to them as “traitors” and saying deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde had “given birth to six gaddars (traitors)” and has to undergo a “Cesarean surgery”.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Photo credit: X/ @FitRaheIndia New Delhi: Minor procedural lapses by hospitals and clinics will now attract administrative penalties instead of criminal fines under amendments to the Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 notified by the Union health ministry, as the Centre pushes ahead with its Jan Vishwas reforms to promote trust-based regulation.The amendments, notified on June 22, implement provisions of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2026 and are aimed at reducing compliance burden, improving ease of doing business and ensuring proportionate regulatory enforcement, while continuing to safeguard patient safety and the quality of healthcare services.The changes apply to routine and low-risk procedures and minor administrative lapses, including surgeries for minor injuries, wound cleaning and stitching, mole removal, drainage of small abscesses, and minor reconstructive procedures of the eyelid, ear and nose, provided they do not pose an immediate risk to patients.Under the amended framework, the term “fine” has been replaced with “penalty” in Sections 40, 43 and 46 of the Act, shifting enforcement from criminal action to administrative adjudication. Section 44 has also been amended to introduce graded penalties for contraventions by companies, with the quantum of penalty linked to the nature and severity of the violation.The notification strengthens the adjudicating authority mechanism under Section 41 by expanding its scope to cover proceedings under Sections 40, 43 and 44. It also introduces a structured adjudication process that provides an opportunity for hearing before penalties are imposed, along with provisions for recovery of penalties and an appeal mechanism for aggrieved parties.The ministry said the changes are expected to encourage voluntary compliance, reduce unnecessary litigation and ensure proportionate action in cases of minor procedural non-compliances while maintaining regulatory oversight over clinical establishments.The amendments are part of the broader Jan Vishwas reform programme, which rationalises provisions across 79 Central Acts administered by 23 ministries and departments. In the health sector, 35 provisions across five Acts under the Union health ministry have been amended to decriminalise minor procedural non-compliances and strengthen citizen-centric regulatory practices.Get the latest India news and live updates.
