Amit Pandey, Dongargarh. The case of theft of seized sand in the religious city of Dongargarh is continuously gaining momentum. On May 30, SDM and Naib Tehsildar along with their staff went to village Mudhpar of Dongargarh block and seized sand. After which Congress has opened a front accusing the officials and BJP leaders of stealing 800 tippers of sand in collusion.

Today, Congress held a one-day dharna in front of Dongargarh block headquarters. In this demonstration, District Congress President Bhagwat Sahu, former President of District Cooperative Central Bank Nawaz Khan, Dongargarh MLA Harshita Baghel and a large number of Congress workers protested against the action of SDM and Naib Tehsildar and raised slogans demanding action against them.

In this case, former president of District Cooperative Central Bank and senior Congress leader Nawaz Khan said that sand is extracted from the fields of village Mudhpar and the surrounding area, which is extracted and then farmers do farming by adding black soil there and this sand is also used for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the village. In such a situation, SDM and BJP leaders have robbed the villagers of their sand. This action has been taken against the rules. Nawaz Khan has also accused the SDM and Tehsildar of selling sand to two people related to BJP.

Congress will burn the effigy of CM

According to the Congress, this entire action of the administration is suspicious because no prior information or announcement was made in the village by the administration regarding illegal sand storage and no complaint of illegal sand mining has been lodged. This makes it clear that the seized sand has been sold in collusion with the officials. Meanwhile, the Congress is preparing to burn the effigy of the CM in every block on Wednesday, intensifying this movement.

Raipur. Rajasthan Energy Minister Hiralal Nagar visited Parsa East Kete Basan block of Rajasthan Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RVUNL) in Surguja to assess community-centric initiatives and project development works. He expressed his government’s commitment to the development of Surguja district on behalf of RVUNL.

Energy Minister Hiralal Nagar said, “The immense success of the PEKB block is the result of a fruitful partnership between Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. We are proud of RVUNL’s contribution to the development of Surguja district. The Rajasthan government is dedicated to strengthening its bond with the local communities and contributing even more to their empowerment in the future.”

RVUNL’s PEKB block is one of the largest employers in the organised sector in Surguja, providing nearly 10,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities. It has played a key role in preventing local workers from migrating to other districts such as Korba, Bilaspur and Raigarh, where the mining sector has contributed significantly to employment generation and local economic development. RVUNL, through its mine developer and operator contractor Adani Enterprises Ltd, has undertaken various initiatives in education, empowerment, health, sanitation, strengthening rural infrastructure and agriculture. The Adani Vidya Mandir supported by RVUNL provides free education to nearly 900 local students. Notably, it is possibly the only school in India where a cooperative society of mothers of the students is responsible for preparing and serving nutritious breakfast and mid-day meals.

Minister Nagar also launched dozer push operation and inaugurated a nine megawatt solar project to use renewable energy for RVUNL’s operations in PEKB block. He also visited the forest where RVUNL has planted 11.5 lakh trees with the help of locals on land reclaimed after coal mining in the last decade. He also discussed the status of the ongoing drive to plant additional 2.5 lakh trees during the current financial year. It is noteworthy that we have set a record in developing nurseries for Sal trees.

As a symbol of his commitment, Energy Minister Nagar announced plans to set up a 25-bed modern hospital near PEKB Block to provide modern healthcare services to the local communities dependent on Ambikapur.

It is worth noting that due to the closure of PEKB block during the last few months, the Rajasthan government was forced to buy coal by paying 40 percent more price and this had an adverse effect on Rajasthan’s budget. On Saturday, Energy Minister Nagar also expressed his government’s commitment to the development of Surguja district during his meeting with Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai in Raipur.

Energy Minister Nagar expressed happiness over the performance of Chhattisgarh’s only five-star rated PEKB coal mine for the last four consecutive years. He said, “By continuously running a large-scale afforestation project on the land reclaimed after coal mining and successfully accepting the challenge of sal regeneration, RVUNL has set new standards in the Indian mining industry. We are committed to replicate the same success in our two other coal blocks, Parsa and Kete Extension, located in the neighbourhood of PEKB block. Currently, we are able to get only nine to ten railway racks of coal, while the requirement is 20 to 22 rakes.” He said, “I am confident that with the support of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, RVUNL will be able to expand its operations in the interest of Surguja and Rajasthan, which will reduce our dependence on coal imports as well as Coal India.

The Chief Minister of the state Vishnu Dev Sai is also working by making plans to take Chhattisgarh forward on the path of development. Talking about the benefits being given to farmers and common people through Kisan Samman Nidhi, increase in support price, Ayushman Yojana, he said that along with development in the field of education and health, the economic development of the poor women of the state is taking place through Chhattisgarh Mahtari Vandan Yojana.

Coaching arrangements have also been made for the talented students of the district to prepare for exams like NEET and JEE. He said that some people also go out of the state in search of employment.

The youth who have got employment should not leave this job unnecessarily and should work diligently until a better opportunity comes.

Honorarium increased on the request of Minister Dewangan –

Along with providing appointment certificates to the educated members of the special backward tribal families of the district, the chief guest Lakhan Lal Devangan, Commerce, Industry and Labor Minister requested for an increase of two thousand rupees in the honorarium of the youth working as peon and guest teacher in schools.

In the program, MLA Katghora Premchand Patel said that Korba district is identified with Korba tribal families. As a public representative, he always keeps in mind how to uplift the natives. It is a matter of happiness that after sending the students of the district out for study a day before to prepare for competitive examinations, today the special backward tribal families of the district are getting employment around their own village. He said that through employment, we can overcome our backwardness and move forward on the path of development and can also change our destiny.

Referring to the efforts made by the Prime Minister to connect PVTGs to the path of development through the PM Janman Yojana, he said that backward tribal families have got a chance to come forward on the initiative of the Chhattisgarh government and the district administration. He wished that Korba, identified as an aspirational district, should be identified as a normal district through development.

In the program, Mayor Rajkishore Prasad said that getting employment opportunity from DMF, getting free coaching facility to talented students of the district in the capital from DMF is a big achievement. Special backward tribe families are not financially prosperous, in such a situation, their standard of living will change on getting employment. Family and social environment will also change. Therefore, no youth who gets employment should leave his job without any reason. District Panchayat President Shivkala Kanwar said that getting employment opportunity for the members of special backward tribe families living in the settlements of forest areas is a new chapter in their life.

Collector Ajit Vasant said that on the directions of the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Government, special backward tribal families of the district are being identified through the District Mineral Trust and employment opportunities are being provided as per their qualifications. Earlier, some youths were employed as peons in the Health Department. In this series, today 108 youths are being appointed on the post of guest teacher and peon in schools under the Education Department on honorarium basis. The Collector said that this employment opportunity is not the last. Youth of special backward tribal category can continue their studies while doing this work and can get even better employment opportunities by acquiring higher education.

He said that after getting employment opportunities, do not leave this work till you get a better job. The district administration has provided employment opportunities to make you financially strong and take you forward on the path of development. You will be able to make your future even better with this appointment. The collector said that special monitoring will be done to ensure that the honorarium amount received by the youth of special backward tribal families after getting employment is not harmed. He talked about providing the benefits of electricity, water, road, housing, Ayushman card etc. in the settlements of PVTG through the Pradhan Mantri Janman Yojana.

Purushottam Patra, Gariaband. Due to the curse of the goddess, this tradition has been followed for seven generations. The educated and new generation of the family wants to change this practice, but faith comes in the way. They have now accepted it as a blessing from ancestors and not a superstition. The white dress without makeup that starts from the wedding pavilion continues till the last breath of the daughters-in-law of the priest family.

The goddess had cursed him

The current village priest Firat Ram Dhruv, successor of the priest, says that he had heard from his father Dev Singh that before his great grandfather Nagendra Shah, his ancestors, who used to be the village priests, the goddess used to come in the guise of a woman and feed them food every day after their farming work. For several days, when the food prepared by the priestess started coming back home, the priestess hid herself to know the secret of the food.

Since then, for many generations, the daughters-in-law of the family live in the garb of widows. The priest said that she was Dhuma Devi, whom we have been worshipping as Badi Mai for generations.

Breaking tradition causes physical pain

It is a matter of faith, not superstition

Hari Dhruv, the most educated person in the family, is the manager of Gariaband Cooperative Bank. He says that if this was a superstition, it would have been broken, but now it has become a belief. His wife Lalita says that one can wear Mangalsutra, apart from this, brass bangles are worn. Widowed women are made to wear silver bangles, which are cracked. Lalita is also educated. Her husband is always out of the house due to his job. No one says anything about the clothes in the village, but outside, people’s curiosity has to be satisfied.

The new generation needs to change but

Before making a daughter-in-law, the relatives are made aware of this custom of the family. The matter moves forward only after the consent of the would-be daughter-in-law. Earlier, the relationship was easy. After the 5th generation, difficulties started arising in establishing the relationship. Now the 6th generation sons also want this custom to change. But the elders of the family are not changing it despite wanting to. Vishnu Dhruv, the senior of the family, says that this is not a superstition, but he is hopeful that one day he will definitely get signs of changing the custom.
