			<title>File photo: A vendor protects artificial flowers from the rain at a roadside stall during heavy rainfall in Jammu JAMMU: District authorities in J&#038;K’s Doda and Kishtwar on Wednesday ordered the closure of all govt and private schools in view of inclement weather. Meanwhile, the Amarnath pilgrimage continued only on the Baltal route, with a group of 2,051 devotees embarking on the yatra from Jammu in a convoy of 82 vehicles under elaborate security arrangements. The Vaishno Devi yatra also continued, but only on the traditional track via Ardhkuwari.Jammu-Srinagar national highway remained open for traffic.Kishtwar officials said the school closure notice by the district chief education officer followed instructions from the deputy commissioner in the wake of prevailing rough weather and safety concerns over slippery roads and shooting stones. “Schools located within city limits from Malipeth to Cherhar have been exempted from the closure order and will remain open as usual,” the order stated, adding that official work in educational institutions, wherever applicable, should not be affected.In a separate notice, the Doda administration ordered the closure of all govt and private schools in the district on July 29.Both orders clarified that online classes would continue as per the prescribed schedule.IMD predicted light to moderate rain and thundershowers across J&#038;K over the next several days, with the possibility of heavy to torrential rainfall in parts of Jammu division. The department warned that heavy rain could trigger flash floods, landslides and mudslides at vulnerable locations between July 29 and Aug 2.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesAll major pilgrimages in J&#038;K were suspended on July 19 as a precautionary measure.

			<title>NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday demanded that home minister Amit Shah be sacked from the govt and a Supreme Court monitored probe be ordered into the use of lethal force against young protesters &#8212; raising the stakes in the battle of wits with the Modi govt over the police crackdown on students.Rahul said Shah either directly ordered the use of pellet guns, shock batons, lathicharge and tear gas on students which makes him “culpable” of brutalisation of youngsters, or he did not know what the police was doing which makes him “incompetent”. “In either case, he has to go,” he said, advising PM Narendra Modi to sack the senior minister.He alleged the students are still being threatened, with face recognition and Bajrang Dal being used to scare them. “These are our children and the govt has no business threatening them or beating them. They have not committed any crime. They should not be punished,” he said.The leader of opposition said the demand for Shah’s sacking was not proforma, raising the possibility of the confrontation of last week resuming after the opposition joined the proceedings to discuss the bill on “unfair means” for two days. Said he, “Shah is responsible and we are not going to let him get away with it.”The renewed aggression from Rahul came at a press conference that he addressed after he could not complete his heavily interrupted speech in Lok Sabha following a clash with the BJP benches over his remarks about Shah. After brief adjournments over an “unparliamentary” word, the BJP blocked him when he directly linked Shah to police crackdown. While his remarks were expunged, the BJP benches led by parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju insisted that he tell the source of his claim or apologise.According to Rahul, he was told that he would have to apologise if he wanted to complete his speech, but he replied that he would never apologise to BJP or RSS.With Shah’s photograph on the big screen at the AICC headquarters, Rahul said, “Every child beaten by police should know that this is the man who is responsible for what happened. He takes orders from the prime minister, but he is the man who thrashed you and humiliated you.” He slammed Shah for not coming to the Lok Sabha, which shows that he is “guilty”.At the same time, Rahul said he is proud of students who protested and “they had the courage that their parents did not have” to stand up to the BJP.He said Shah was fully aware of the police action, and he was repeatedly calling minister Jitendra Singh when the latter came to meet him (during dharna outside PM residence).He said the opposition will ensure justice for students one day, as cops responsible for use of pellet guns and batons are identified in videos and photos.In LS, Rahul riled the BJP by narrating that a student told him about three categories of people – “students” who accept they don&#8217;t know everything; those who think they know everything and pretend to be God, and “andh bhakts” who believe the second category is God.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesHe alleged Dharmendra Pradhan, who had to resign as education minister, was just a symbol while the real mess in the education system was created by RSS. “The man and the organisation that ran the ministry is called the RSS&#8230; They (students) have to buy this nonsensical history that RSS fantasises about. Pradhan is the symbol. Your real enemy is the RSS. They are the people who want you to be andh bhakts,” the LOP said.He complained that he is “silenced” every time he tries to speak in Lok Sabha.He called the bill on unfair means as irrelevant because it is about hiking punishment after paper leak when the demand is to reform the system to make it paper leak-proof.He said Modi has lost his image which was a “balloon” that had been inflated with heavy investments.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>MP farmers breach barricades, march towards CM Mohan Yadav&#8217;s residence over moong MSP. (PTI images) NEW DELHI: Hundreds of farmers protesting over the procurement of summer moong at the minimum support price (MSP) breached multiple police barricades and marched to Roshanpura Square in Bhopal on Wednesday, reaching within a kilometre of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav&#8217;s official residence.Before reaching Roshanpura, the protesters demonstrated outside Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan&#8217;s residence as the state government initiated talks with farmer representatives.Led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha and 18 other farmer organisations, the protesters crossed several layers of barricades on Narmadapuram Road, resulting in tense stand-offs with police. Authorities deployed heavy security at Roshanpura Square, where the farmers camped while negotiations continued at the state secretariat.Although repeated scuffles broke out between protesters and police and the windows of a few buses were damaged, police did not resort to force.The farmers are demanding procurement of the entire summer moong crop at MSP, the scrapping of the e-token system for fertiliser distribution and timely availability of fertilisers ahead of the next sowing season.In an attempt to resolve the standoff, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced the formation of a four-member committee to hold discussions with farmer representatives.&#8221;The government has always stood with farmers and is ready to consider positive suggestions. At the same time, both sides should ensure that the public doesn’t face inconvenience. We will resolve the issue through talks,&#8221; Yadav said.He expressed hope that the Bharatiya Kisan Sangathan and other organisations would resolve the issue through dialogue, adding that the government&#8217;s commitment to public welfare also included farmers&#8217; welfare.Despite the government&#8217;s outreach, some protesters intensified the agitation by staging a semi-nude demonstration on Narmadapuram Road. Protesters also performed a &#8216;Sadbuddhi Yagya&#8217; and cooked baati-chokha on the roadside, while residents, including members of Generation Z, extended support to the agitation.The protest continued after the first round of talks between State Agriculture Minister Aidal Singh Kansana and farmer leaders ended without a breakthrough on Tuesday night. Farmers remained on the roads overnight, disrupting traffic and prompting police to divert commuters. Schools in nearby areas remained closed on Wednesday morning.Meanwhile, Kansana wrote to Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan seeking an increase in the procurement limit for summer moong.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesResponding after protesters gathered outside his residence, Chouhan said the Centre had already approved procurement of up to 4,54,580 tonnes of summer moong for Madhya Pradesh under the Price Support Scheme for the 2025-26 season.He said the allocation accounted for 87 per cent of the total 5,23,243 tonnes approved nationwide under the PM-AASHA scheme, the highest allocation for any state.Chouhan also clarified that the Centre does not prescribe procurement targets for states. Under PM-AASHA guidelines, procurement is allowed up to 25 per cent of estimated production, with any procurement beyond that limit to be undertaken by the state government.According to data available with the Centre until July 29, Madhya Pradesh had procured around 60,000 tonnes of summer moong so far, Chouhan said, urging the state government to speed up procurement in the interest of farmers.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
