Bharat Bandh Today: Impact in Rajasthan

Bharat Bandh has been declared to protest the Supreme Court’s decision on the classification of reservations. Moreover, the Supreme Court said that a few castes come under SC but people of this caste remain more backward than the rest. In such a situation, classification can be done for their upliftment. Doing this is not against Article 341 of the Constitution.

Furthermore, the Supreme Court said that the state governments can do this but not arbitrarily. The Supreme Court also said that there should be solid data before classification. So that the share can be determined correctly. Additionally, the Supreme Court had said in the hearing of the petitions that only a few castes have got the benefit of reservation. Quotas can be introduced to bring other castes included in the mainstream. Having said this, the Supreme Court overturned its 2004 decision.

Who declared Bharat Bandh?

Bharat Bandh was called on social media on August 21 in protest against the decision given by the Supreme Court regarding the classification of reservation of SC and ST. Aarakshan Bachao Sangharsh Samiti announced a Bandh on August 21 in protest against the Supreme Court decision on the SC/ST reservation quota within the SC-ST quota. All the organizations calling for Bharat Bandh say that the Supreme Court should reconsider its decision.

While announcing the bandh, these organizations have said that even today they are lagging and they are not being given the benefit of reservation in private institutions. In such a situation, they oppose the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the creamy layer. These organizations have also released a list of their demands for SC, ST and Other Backward Classes.

Bharat Bandh has been called from 6 am to 8 pm. Shops, markets and educational institutions are likely to remain closed during this period. SC-ST Joint Struggle Committee has also formed teams for the success of the bandh.

Holiday in schools and colleges due to Bharat Bandh

Because of the uproar during the earlier bandh, the police and administration are also active. Today, District Collectors have declared a holiday in schools and colleges in most of the districts of Rajasthan. At the same time, the internet is closed in many districts. At the same time, there will be holidays in the coaching, library, hostel and Anganwadi centres also. Due to the Bharat Bandh, the Kota, Shekhawati and Matsya University examinations were postponed.

Internet will be closed in many districts

Due to Bharat Bandh, the internet will remain closed in many districts today. As per the instructions of Divisional Commissioner Sanwarmal Verma in Bharatpur, the internet will remain closed from 9 am to 6 pm. Internet is also closed in Udaipur till 2 pm on 21st August. Internet will also remain closed in Alwar till 4 pm.

Congress supported the Bharat Bandh

SC/ST groups in Rajasthan have supported the Bharat Bandh. Apart from this, along with Congress, the Bharat Adivasi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party have also supported the bandh in Rajasthan.

The impact may be visible in the market during Bandh. Transport services may remain affected due to protests in all markets and on the roads. The effect may also be visible in offices. All emergency services will be continued. Hospital, police, fire and disaster management teams will be deployed. Security arrangements have been strengthened.

As no government has issued any official guidelines regarding the Bharat Bandh. Moreover, there is no order to keep banks and government offices closed. In such a situation, all these offices will also remain open.

21-year-old young wrestler Aman Sehrawat has given an amazing performance and won India a bronze medal in wrestling in the Paris Olympics on Friday night. This is India’s first medal in wrestling at the Paris Olympics. Aman, who was participating in the Olympic Games for the first time, was the only Indian challenger left in the men’s category. Aman became the eighth Indian wrestler to win a medal in Olympic history. With this, Aman Sehrawat has also become India’s youngest medalist to win an Olympic medal.

Aman Sehrawat lost his parents when he was just 11 years old.

The life of Aman Sehrawat was full of adversity and triumph. Sehrawat’s journey to becoming a champion is nothing short of inspiring. He lost both his parents at the young age of 11 years. But his resilience and determination propelled him forward. Inspired by Sushil Kumar’s Olympic silver medal, he started wrestling at the age of 10 and joined the Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi.

Aman looked very emotional after winning the medal for the country. He said that my parents also wanted me to become a wrestler. Although they didn’t know anything about the Olympics, they wanted to see me become a wrestler.

Defeated Darian Cruz by a margin of 13-5

This medal of peace also worked as a balm on the dispute with Vinesh Phogat. With this, India’s total number of medals in the Paris Olympics has reached six. Aman, a resident of Jhajjar, Haryana, defeated Puerto Rico wrestler Darian Cruz by a margin of 13-5 in the bronze medal match of the 57 kg category.

Beat record of shuttler queen PV Sindhu

Wrestling Techniques of Aman Sherawat

Aman Sehrawat is known for his aggressive and dynamic wrestling style. While specific details about his unique techniques might be limited in the public domain, we can make some educated inferences based on his performance and the general nature of freestyle wrestling.

Given his success at the international level, it’s safe to assume that Sehrawat possesses a well-rounded skill set. Key techniques in freestyle wrestling include:
- Takedowns: These are crucial for gaining control over an opponent. Sehrawat likely excels in various takedown techniques, such as single and double legs, ankle picks, and low-single attacks.
- Clinching: This involves controlling an opponent’s upper body to create opportunities for takedowns or reversals. Sehrawat probably has a strong clinch game, allowing him to dictate the pace of the match.
- Reversals: The ability to turn a defensive situation into an offensive one is essential. Sehrawat’s quick reflexes and agility likely contribute to his effectiveness in executing reversals.
- Exposures and Turns: Scoring points by exposing an opponent’s shoulders to the mat or turning them over is crucial. Sehrawat’s understanding of leverage and body positioning is likely key to his success in these areas.
- Parterre Wrestling: Ground wrestling is a vital component of freestyle. Sehrawat’s ability to maintain control and score points from the mat is likely another strength.
It’s important to note that these are general observations based on the nature of the sport. A more in-depth analysis would require detailed footage of his matches and expert commentary.

Coaches of Aman Sherawat

A significant factor in Aman Sehrawat’s success is the guidance he has received from his coaches.
- Lalit Kumar: Sehrawat started training under coach Lalit Kumar, who played a crucial role in shaping his early career.
- Chhatrasal Stadium Coaches: The renowned Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi has been a hub for Indian wrestling talent. Sehrawat has undoubtedly benefited from the expertise of the coaches there.
The intense training environment at Chhatrasal Stadium, coupled with the guidance of experienced coaches, has contributed significantly to Sehrawat’s rapid rise in the world of wrestling.

An unknown man killed another dreaded terrorist Mohammad Qari Idris in Pakistan

An unknown man has spread an atmosphere of fear among the terrorists living in Pakistan who are enemies of India. Many terrorists living freely in Pakistan are enemies of India. These enemies have been living in fear for the last 2 years. The reason for this is that an unknown man is selectively killing these enemies of India living in Pakistan. From time to time, cases of unknown assailants killing these terrorists come to light in Pakistan.

There was a time when anti-India terrorists in Pakistan used to threaten India openly, hold rallies and live comfortably. But now those terrorists are afraid to even step out of their homes because they fear that they too may be targeted. People like militants and key figures in terror organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba have been targeted primarily living in Pakistan.

There have been several incidents in the past year where enemies of India, particularly those involved in terrorist activities, have been killed by unknown gunmen in neighbouring countries. These killings have been shrouded in mystery, with no one officially claiming responsibility.

The killings are attributed to “unknown gunmen” in official reports, leading to speculation about India’s involvement but with no concrete evidence. Recently another enemy of India has met its end in Pakistan.

An unknown man killed Mohammad Qari

Recently, the dreaded terrorist Mohammad Qari Idrees has died in Pakistan. Idris was found dead in suspicious condition in Mirpur, Pakistan. Idris was the Mirpur in-charge for the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba and its other terrorist organizations The Resistance Force and People’s Anti-Fascist Front. Idris’s death is described as murder and an unknown man is said to be behind it.

Till now many terrorists have been made victims of unknown attackers in Pakistan. Pakistan blames India for saying that this unknown man has connections with India. This unknown attacker is killing the enemies of India at different places in Pakistan and due to this there is an atmosphere of fear among the terrorists living in Pakistan.

Nitish Kumar Resigned as Chief Minister to become the next Chief Minister

Nitish Kumar resigned from the post of Chief Minister of Bihar today at around 11:30 AM. The Governor accepted the resignation and deputed him as the Acting CM. This is been confirmed in a post by Raj Bhawan Bihar on X.

After coming out of Raj Bhawan Nitesh Kumar declared this in front of the media about his resignation to Governor Rajendra Arlekar. Moreover, Nitish Kumar said he asked the governor that he is out of the Mahaghatbandan. The Governor can take the required action. Furthermore, he said that nothing was going right here as well in the Indi alliance despite his hard efforts to build this alliance. Party members and leaders of JDU have also shown their issues from time to time.

Nitish Kumar said about the next plan

Nitish Kumar also gave a hint to the media professionals by saying to come on the next development. Moreover, now the old partners i.e. NDA leaders and JDU will decide about the coming plan.

It seems to be clear that Nitish Kumar resigned as chief minister to become the next chief minister with the support of NDA.

Seat status in Bihar

The magic figure of 122 is required for any alliance to form a government in Bihar. BJP has 78 MLAs in Bihar Assembly which has 243 MLAs. Whereas four MLAs of Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party ‘Hum’ are also with him. In such a situation, the total strength of NDA is 82. JDU of Nitish Kumar has 45 MLAs. In such a situation, if they become a part of the NDA alliance, this number reaches 127. Which is 5 more than the figure of 122 required for the majority. That means there is no need to make many arrangements.

Talking about RJD, the party has a total of 79 MLAs in the assembly. Whereas from India Bloc, together with Congress and Left parties, this number reaches 114. Meaning 8 away from the majority mark. Congress has 19 seats and the Left has 16 seats. Hence they have to put efforts into forming the government.

Atal Setu, the longest bridge to reduce travel time

Atal Setu was been inaugurated by PM Modi today. Moreover, PM Modi himself had laid its foundation stone in 2016. This bridge is a six-lane bridge about 21.8 km long. This is good news for the people of Mumbai today.

The Prime Minister’s vision is to improve the ‘ease of movement’ of citizens by strengthening urban transport infrastructure and connectivity. In line with this vision, the Mumbai Trans Harbor Link (MTHL), now named ‘Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu’, has been built.

Atal Setu is the longest sea bridge in India. This bridge is about a 21.8 km long six-lane bridge. Whose length is about 16.5 km on the sea and about 5.5 km on land. Atal Setu is to connect Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Moreover, it will provide direct connectivity to Mumbai International Airport and Navi Mumbai International Airport. Furthermore, this will also improve connectivity between Mumbai Port and Jawaharlal Nehru Port. Above all, it will also reduce the travel time from Mumbai to Pune, Goa and South India. Now one can reach Navi Mumbai from Mumbai in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.

Toll Tax on Atal Setu

The cost of building Atal Setu is approximately Rs 18,000 Crore. That will be recovered over some time by toll tax. It is expected that 70,000 vehicles will pass on it per day.

A one-way toll from a passenger car will be Rs 250. The fee for the to and fro journey is Rs 375. As well as daily and frequent passengers may opt for monthly passes, the official said. It is estimated that a four-wheeler will save petrol of Rs 500 per side due to no signal and no traffic jams.

India’s longest sea bridge, Atal Setu, incorporates an Open Road Tolling (ORT) system, enabling vehicles to pass through toll booths at speeds of up to 100 kmph without stopping. The maximum speed limit on this bridge is 100 km per hour for motorists. Moreover, heavy vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, tractors, autorickshaws and other slow-speed vehicles are not allowed to travel on this bridge.
