    #IPS Shivhari Meena: Leading Noida with Integrity and Dedication

    #IPS Shivhari Meena: In the bustling and ever-growing city of Noida, one name stands out for his dedication, integrity, and commitment to law and order — Shivhari Meena. Currently serving as the Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) in Gautam Buddh Nagar, Meena has earned widespread acclaim for his effective handling of cybercrime cases and the successful implementation of new laws aimed at improving the criminal justice system.

    One of the most notable aspects of Meena’s tenure in Noida is his adept management of cybercrime cases. In an era where digital threats are ever-present, his proactive approach and strategic initiatives have significantly bolstered the city’s cyber defenses. His efforts have not only led to the swift resolution of numerous cases but have also served as a deterrent to potential cybercriminals.

    Inspiring Leadership and Transformative Policing in Gautam Buddh Nagar

    Moreover, Meena’s implementation of the “Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita,” the “Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,” and the “Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam” has been exemplary. His thorough understanding and application of these laws have brought about substantial improvements in Noida’s legal framework, ensuring justice is served more efficiently and equitably. These new laws are pivotal in transforming India’s criminal justice system, and Meena’s leadership in their enforcement has been instrumental in their success.

    Meena’s approach to leadership and his interaction with the community set him apart. Known for his humility and accessibility, he maintains strong relations with local residents and is seen as a reliable figure in times of need. His colleagues speak highly of his supportive nature and ethical conduct. A telling anecdote from his tenure as SP in Rampur illustrates his character. On September 29, 2018, when Meena took charge, he surprised everyone by personally cleaning his office and the old pictures hanging on the walls. This gesture, he explained, was part of his moral responsibility and a practice he has upheld throughout his career.

    His dedication to cleanliness and order in his workspace is symbolic of his broader approach to policing — meticulous, hands-on, and deeply ethical. This ethos resonates throughout his professional conduct, earning him the respect and admiration of both his peers and the public.

    Born in Dausa, Rajasthan, Shivhari Meena has always been driven by a sense of duty and service. His educational journey, culminating in an M.A. in Political Science, laid a strong foundation for his career in law enforcement. A 2010 batch IPS officer, Meena’s career trajectory has been marked by numerous postings across Uttar Pradesh, including stints as ASP in Azamgarh and Aligarh, SP City in Ghaziabad, and SP in Maharajganj, Itawa, GRP Agra, Raebareli, Kasganj, Kanpur, Rampur, PTC Unnao, Sultanpur, and Pratapgarh.

    In a time when the role of the police is under constant scrutiny, IPS Shivhari Meena stands as a shining example of what effective and ethical law enforcement looks like. His contributions to Noida’s safety and legal integrity are invaluable, making him a true asset to the community and the nation.

The detailed action plan, prepared according to CM Yogi’s vision, is progressing rapidly, ensuring comprehensive development across all road networks.

  • PM Modi’s remarks at the SCO summit

    PM Modi’s remarks at the SCO summit

    These remarks were delivered by EAM Dr S Jaishankar who was physically present at the summit.

    Excellencies,

    PM Modi’s remarks at the SCO summit: India recalls with appreciation that its admission as a Member of SCO took place during the 2017 Kazakh Presidency. Since then, we have completed one full cycle of presidencies in SCO. India hosted both the Council of Heads of Government Meeting in 2020, as well as the Council of Heads of State Meeting in 2023. The SCO occupies a prominent place in our foreign policy.

    While we congratulate Iran, attending as a Member of the Organization, I express my deepest condolences for the tragic demise of President Raisi and others in the helicopter crash.

    I also congratulate President Lukashenko and welcome Belarus as the new Member of the Organization.

    Excellencies,

    We gather today in the backdrop of pandemic impact, ongoing conflicts, rising tensions, trust deficits and increasing number of hotspots around the world. These events have put significant strain on international relations and global economic growth. They have aggravated some of the problems that have emanated from globalization. Our gathering is aimed at finding common ground to mitigate the consequences of these developments.

    The SCO is a principle-based organization, whose consensus drives the approach of its member states. At this time, it is particularly noteworthy that we are reiterating mutual respect for sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, equality, mutual benefit, non-interference in internal affairs, non-use of force or threat of use of force as a basis for our foreign policies. We have also agreed not to take any measures contrary to the principles of state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

    While doing so, priority must naturally be given to combating terrorism, one of the original goals of the SCO. Many of us have had our experiences, often originating beyond our borders. Let us be clear that if left unchecked, it can become a major threat to regional and global peace. Terrorism in any form or manifestation cannot be justified or condoned. International community must isolate and expose those countries that harbour terrorists, provide safe havens and condone terrorism. Cross-border terrorism requires a decisive response and terrorism financing and recruitment must be resolutely countered. We should also take proactive steps to prevent the spread of radicalization among our youth. The Joint Statement issued during India’s Presidency last year on this subject underlines our shared commitment.

    Another prominent concern before us today is of climate change. We are working towards achieving committed reduction in emissions, including transition to alternate fuels, adoption of electric vehicles, and building climate-resilient infrastructure. In this context, during India’s SCO presidency, a Joint Statement on emerging fuels, and a Concept Paper on de-carbonization in the transportation sector were approved.

    Excellencies,

    Economic development requires robust connectivity. That can also pave the way for cooperation and trust between our societies. Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is essential for connectivity and infrastructure projects. So too are non-discriminatory trade rights and transit regimes. The SCO needs to deliberate seriously on these aspects.

    The 21st century is the century of technology. We have to make technology creative and apply it to the welfare and progress of our societies. India is among the countries to formulate a National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence and the launch of an AI Mission. Our commitment to ‘AI for All’ is also reflected in working within the SCO framework on a Roadmap on AI cooperation.

    India shares deep civilizational ties with the people of this region. Recognizing the centrality of Central Asia to SCO, we have prioritized their interests and aspirations. It is reflected in greater exchanges, projects and activities with them.

    Cooperation in the SCO, for us, has been people-centric. India organized SCO Millet Food Festival, SCO Film Festival, SCO Surajkund Craft Mela, SCO Think-Tanks Conference, and International Conference on Shared Buddhist Heritage during its presidency. We will naturally support similar endeavors by others.

    I’m glad that a number of events have been hosted in the New Delhi Hall at the SCO Secretariat, since its inauguration last year. This includes the 10th International Day of Yoga in 2024.

    Excellencies,

    I wish to underline that SCO provides us a unique platform to unite people, collaborate, grow and prosper together, practicing the millenia old principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam which means ‘The World is One Family’. We must continuously translate these sentiments into practical cooperation. I welcome the important decisions we will be taking today.

  • Yogi govt implements district limit for Divyangs, divisional limit for female candidates in exam centre allocation

    Yogi govt implements district limit for Divyangs, divisional limit for female candidates in exam centre allocation

    #UP govt issues instructions regarding the arrangements of the examination centre

    #If exams are held within district, other candidates may also get centres outside home district

    #Exam centres are to be randomly assigned to avoid local candidates at the same examination centre

    Lucknow : Aiming to improve the recruitment examinations in Uttar Pradesh and ensure a robust and fair examination system, the Yogi government has issued guidelines under the prescribed policy to enhance transparency in the selection process of various commissions and selection boards in the state.

    According to the new policy, divyang candidates will not be allotted examination centres outside their home district, and female candidates will not be allotted centres outside their home division. Additionally, if the examination is held in more than one district, other candidates may be assigned centres outside their home district.

    Allocation of exam centres will be done on random basis

    According to the guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel & Training, the allocation of examination centres will be done on a random basis to ensure that candidates from the same location do not take the exam at the same centre. The allocation of exam rooms to invigilators will also be done randomly in the presence of a static magistrate, 30 minutes before candidates enter the exam centre.

    Additionally, the District Magistrate will ensure that if extra invigilators are needed at any exam centre, at least 50 per cent of the staff will be government employees from outside the exam centre.

    Additional Chief Secretary of the Department of Personnel & Training, Dr Devesh Chaturvedi said that the Sector Magistrates will be assigned to 2-3 nearby examination centres so that they can promptly reach those centres. If an examination centre is located far away, consideration may be given to appointing a separate Sector Magistrate for it.

    In addition, the Sector Magistrate should be deployed at the examination centres, who will be responsible for getting the confidential bundle of question paper/answer sheet from the treasury, bringing it to the concerned examination centre and handing it over to the Static Magistrate deployed at the examination centre. Later, the Sector Magistrate will also be responsible for getting the question paper/answer sheet back from the Static Magistrate after the examination and ensuring peace and order at the examination centre.

    Furthermore, the Sector Magistrate will also arrange for a video recording of bringing and taking the confidential bundle of question papers/answer sheets from the treasury. During the examination, the Sector Magistrate will inspect all examination centres in rotation to ensure everything is functioning properly.

    Each examination centre shall have one Static Magistrate, responsible for receiving the question papers/answer sheets from the treasury in their presence, sealing them post-examination, opening and sealing the question papers/answer sheets at the examination centre before and after the exam, ensuring peace at the examination centre, and randomly assigning invigilators.

    Moreover, the question papers/OMR sheets shall be opened 45 minutes before the exam in the presence of the Static Magistrate, Center Supervisor, and Assistant Center Supervisor, with video recording for security. Inside the exam room, at least 2 candidates’ signatures shall be taken as witnesses when opening the sealed packet of question papers/OMR sheets. CCTV recording shall secure the treasury where the confidential bundle of pre-exam question papers is stored and retrieved on the exam date.

    At the commission/board level, there should be a control room where continuous monitoring through CCTV live streaming is conducted under the leadership of a designated supervisory officer. Alongside, the candidates as well as the personnel deployed at the examination centre should be thoroughly searched when they enter the examination hall and they should not be allowed to go out under any circumstances until the examination is over.

    Additionally, there should be a complete prohibition on candidates and staff members in the examination room carrying any electronic devices. No candidate should be permitted to leave the examination centre before the completion of the exam. If there are two sessions in a single day, the question papers/answer sheets for each session should be brought separately to the examination centre from the treasury.

  • From Stress to Strength: Young Woman’s Inspiring 50-Pound Weight Loss Journey

    From Stress to Strength: Young Woman’s Inspiring 50-Pound Weight Loss Journey

    Albina Angan, a 20-year-old woman, has become an internet sensation by sharing her incredible journey of losing 50 pounds after a stressful move led to significant weight gain. Her story is one of resilience, determination, and the transformative power of self-care.

    In early 2023, Angan relocated to Istanbul with her husband, excited to begin a new chapter in her life. However, the transition proved to be more challenging than anticipated. The stress of her new environment and demanding work life led her to seek comfort in food. “I didn’t even eat out of hunger, but just out of boredom, anger, and any other emotion I happened to feel,” Angan told Newsweek. This emotional eating caused her weight to spike by 22 pounds within two months, reaching 185 pounds.

    The effects of the weight gain were immediate and troubling. Angan struggled with insomnia, felt constantly fatigued, and experienced a worsening of her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms. It wasn’t until her mother-in-law showed her a picture of herself that Angan realized the extent of the changes in her body. The image of her swollen face, double chin, and bags under her eyes served as a wake-up call. “I decided that it was time to change something, but I just didn’t know how to start,” she admitted.

    Her turning point came in April 2023, when she began to understand the importance of nutrition and how to properly nourish her body. Angan adopted a new eating regimen, centered around intermittent fasting. She started eating breakfast at 8 a.m. and dinner at 4 p.m., with no meals in between. This strict routine helped her shed 50 pounds in just three months, bringing her weight down to a healthy 132 pounds.

    The journey was not without its challenges. Angan faced initial difficulties adjusting to the calorie deficit, feeling angry, lethargic, and deprived of her favorite foods. Yet, she noticed positive changes almost immediately, which kept her motivated. “I was so proud of myself, it was as if I was a Victoria’s Secret model,” she joked.

    Angan’s new routine included a large, protein-rich breakfast and a smaller dinner primarily composed of vegetables. She aimed for six to eight hours between meals and ensured a 16 to 18-hour fasting period overnight. She also reduced processed foods to no more than 10 percent of her diet.

    Her success story extends beyond weight loss. Angan reported significant improvements in her overall well-being. “There is nothing better than a healthy body and mind. By giving your body clean food full of vitamins and minerals, you will become happier inside,” she shared. Her PCOS symptoms, including insulin resistance, have also improved.

    Angan’s story, shared on TikTok, has gone viral, with many of her videos receiving hundreds of thousands of views. While some critics have questioned the extremity of her diet, many have found her journey inspiring and motivating. “Half the people online found my posts inspiring and motivating. I’m incredibly grateful to every person who reached out to me, left a comment, or simply believed in themselves after my videos,” she said.

    Now, Angan is focused on maintaining her weight and continuing her healthy lifestyle. Her story serves as a powerful reminder that with determination and the right approach, it is possible to overcome significant challenges and achieve one’s health goals.
