Districts in Rajasthan new list decided in cabinet meeting
The districts in Rajasthan were finally decided in the Bhajanlal government’s cabinet meeting. The Rajasthan government eliminated nine districts and established three new divisions introduced by the Gehlot administration. Thus, Rajasthan now has a total of 41 districts and 7 divisions.

After the first anniversary of Rising Rajasthan and the government, the Bhajanlal government held a cabinet and council of ministers meeting on Saturday at CMO. The Bhajanlal government made many big decisions in this meeting. After the cabinet meeting, Minister Sumit Godara and Minister Jogaram Patel held a press conference and informed the public about the decisions.

Districts in Rajasthan abolished

The Bhajan Lal government has cancelled the nine new districts created during Gehlot rule: Dudu, Kekri, Jodhpur Rural, Shahpura, Neemkathana, Anupgarh, Gangapur City, Jaipur Rural, and Sanchore.

Deeg, Balotra, Khairthal-Tijara, Beawar, Kotputli-Behror, Didwana-Kuchaman, Phalodi, and Sanlubar will remain districts.

Reasons for abolishing the districts in Rajasthan

Minister Jogaram Patel stated that the newly created districts and divisions before the elections were impractical, leading to the decision to abolish them. Moreover, the oversight of financial resources and population factors resulted in many districts lacking 6-7 tehsils.

The minister stated that the need for numerous districts would have been assessed. Moreover, no posts or office buildings were established, and only 18 departments made arrangements for creating posts. Furthermore, he stated that the committee review concluded these districts are imposing an unnecessary burden on Rajasthan and lack utility.

Gehlot government had created 17 new districts

The previous Gehlot government created 17 new districts in Rajasthan before the election. These districts were Balotra, Didwana, Phalodi, Anupgarh, Jodhpur Rural, Salumbhar, Sanchore, Shahpura, Neemkathana, Gangapur City, Khairthal-Tijara, Deeg, Kotputli-Bahrod, Beawar, Kekri, Jaipur Rural and Dudu. Apart from this, three new divisions namely Sikar, Pali and Banswara were also created.

Now out of these 17 districts, nine are been abolished. After the decision of the Bhajan Lal government, now out of 17 new districts, only 8 will remain as they are.

Gehlot got upset due to his created districts were dissolved.

Opposition party Congress leaders are on the offensive after the Bhajan Lal government decided to cancel 9 districts and 3 divisions in Rajasthan.

Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot criticized the BJP government. He describes it as a short-sighted decision driven by political vengeance. He said that this decision is not only against the public interest but also undermines the goal of administrative reform.

Furthermore, he said that on March 21, 2022, senior administrative officer Ramlubhaya chaired a committee that compiled its report after reviewing hundreds of submissions. Moreover, new districts in Rajasthan were formed based on these recommendations.

Robotic heart surgery for the first time in Rajasthan
Robotic heart surgery was performed for the first time at Jaipur in Rajasthan. The team of cardiac surgeons of Manipal Hospital performed this surgery on three patients (one woman and two men) on three consecutive days.

Out of these three patients, two patients had blockages in their heart veins for which bypass surgery was performed. Furthermore, one patient had a large hole in his heart, which was closed with robotic heart surgery. Moreover, all the patients are completely healthy. All three patients are residents of Rajasthan.

Dr Lalitaditya Malik, a senior cardiac surgeon performed the surgery. He said that the Robotic heart surgery technique is completely different from traditional surgery. No incision is created, nor is the bone severed in this procedure. In the old technique, a 9-10 inch long incision was made on the chest, whereas in robotic surgery the operation is completed by making only a small hole.

This technology has been used in metro cities like Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai since last year. The new initiative in Jaipur will feature a cutting-edge robotic heart surgery facility.

What is robotic heart surgery?

Robotic heart surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a surgeon using a robotic system. Instead of making a large incision in the chest, the surgeon makes several small incisions and inserts thin robotic arms with surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon controls these instruments from a console, using a high-definition 3D camera to guide them.

Benefits of robotic heart surgery
- Higher accuracy of surgery. Moreover, it takes less time than traditional surgery.
- Reduced blood loss. Therefore there is no need for a blood transfusion. Moreover, it reduces the risk of infection.
- Smaller, less noticeable scars. That leads to less pain.
- Improved surgical precision for complex procedures. This leads to less trauma to the body compared to conventional surgery.
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. The patient’s stay in the hospital is reduced. Discharge in 2-3 days if recovery is better. Hence less hospital stay charges.
Common robotic heart surgeries
- Valve repair or replacement (mitral or tricuspid valves).
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (in specific cases).
- Atrial septal defect closure
- Tumor removal or treating irregular heart rhythms.
Limitations:
- Not suitable for all patients or all types of heart conditions.
- Requires specialized training for the surgical team.
- Can be more expensive than traditional methods due to the equipment involved.
How It Works:
- Pre-Surgery: Imaging techniques (e.g., CT or MRI) are used to plan the procedure.
- During Surgery: The surgeon sits at the robotic console and uses hand controls to guide the robotic arms.
- Post-Surgery: Patients typically recover faster and experience less pain than with open-heart surgery.
Robotic heart surgery is often used in specialized cardiac centres and is an option for patients seeking less invasive alternatives to traditional heart surgery.

Deomali Village in Rajasthan is declared the Best Tourist Village in India

Deomali Village in Rajasthan has been declared the Best Tourist Village in India. It is a unique village in Rajasthan. Deomali village is located in Masuda tehsil of Beawar situated in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan. The Central Government will honour it by giving it an award on 27th November this year in Delhi. This good news was announced on Thursday evening.

The people of the Gurjar community said that we will live in a kutcha house, and you live in a pacca house. The villagers have been keeping the promise given at that time till today. Because of this, not a single house has been made of concrete here. However, there is no dearth of amenities in every home.

Deomali is a Gurjar-dominated village. Villagers say that Lord Devnarayan used to serve cows. Due to this, there is a lot of interest in animal husbandry in the village.

The temple’s historical significance and breathtaking surroundings make it a cherished destination for devotees and tourists alike.

It is believed that Lord Devnarayan arrived in Deomali from the Aravalli mountain range in Vikram Samvat 999. On his arrival, the mountains and stones of the village and the surrounding area bowed to one side and welcomed him. All the mountains and stones of the village appear to be inclined towards the west.

There is a belief among the villagers regarding Lord Devnarayan in Deomali that when Bhagwan Devnarayan visits the temple, it rains saffron in the temple premises as well as in the village. Due to this, yellow spots are often seen on clothes and vehicles.

This is also special in the village

There is a water channel by the name of Beela Beeli located in Deomali village. Furthermore, Villagers say that leprosy can be cured by merely bathing in its water.

The promises and rules made here are strictly followed even today in Deomali Village. The family that does not follow these rules has to suffer huge losses. Generation after generation, they are fulfilling the promises of their ancestors, due to which there is no problem. Some people in the village tried to break these rules, whose families were facing a lot of trouble. Furthermore, no one in this village eats meat or fish or drinks alcohol. Burning of neem wood and use of kerosene is also prohibited here.

How to reach Deomali Village

Deomali Village is located 8 km away from the sub-district headquarters Masuda (tehsildar office) and 63 km away from the district headquarters Ajmer.

Veer Durgadas Rathore statue unveiled in Agra

Veer Durgadas Rathore statue was unveiled in Agra by the UP CM Yogi Adityanath. While unveiling the statue CM Yogi said that he felt that this statue was waiting for him for 10 years. He is feeling blessed by Veer Durgadas. CM Yogi Adityanath arrived in Agra, Uttar Pradesh today to unveil the statue of national hero Veer Durgadas Rathore.

Yogi Adityanath said that he got the opportunity to come to Agra on Shri Krishna Janmashtami. He said that many people had surrendered to the Mughals and the British for zamindari. But, Durgadas Rathore played a pivotal role in resisting the Mughal Empire’s attempts. That is why today we are taking the name of national hero Veer Durgadas Rathore ji. People worship him in Rajasthan and MP. There is a strong feeling of reverence in Marwar and Jodhpur for Durgadas Ji.

Who is Veer Durgadas Rathore

Veer Durgadas Rathore was a prominent 17th-century Rajput nobleman and warrior from Marwar (now part of Rajasthan, India). He was a Brave Rajput Warrior and a Brave Son of India. He is celebrated for his unwavering loyalty to Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar. Moreover, he is remembered for his efforts to protect the kingdom from Mughal dominance.

Veer Durgadas Rathore was born in the year 1638. Durgadas Rathore played a pivotal role in resisting the Mughal Empire’s attempts to take control of Marwar after the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh in 1678. When Maharaja Jaswant Singh died without an adult heir, Emperor Aurangzeb tried to seize control of Marwar. However, Durgadas Rathore helped smuggle the infant Ajit Singh, Jaswant Singh’s posthumous son, out of Delhi to safety. Thus ensuring the continuation of the Rathore dynasty. He then led a 30-year-long resistance against the Mughal forces to reclaim Marwar for Ajit Singh.

Veer Durgadas is remembered as a symbol of loyalty, valour, and dedication to his homeland. Moreover, his legacy continues to be celebrated in Rajasthan as a legendary hero.

CM Yogi said- If we divide we will be cut

CM Yogi said that we have to be cautious of the forces that divide in the name of society, caste and language. Also, learn a lesson from Bangladesh and we should not be divided. If we divide we will be cut and if we remain united then we will remain noble. Mistakes like Bangladesh should not happen here. Furthermore, the feeling of bravery of national hero Veer Durgadas Rathore should remain in the minds of all of us.

Banswara against the Bharat Bandh

In the Banswara district of Rajasthan, the Bhil community and other Dalit organizations have opposed the Bharat Bandh. They say that the present reservation system benefits only one section, while the rest remain deprived. The organizations say that they have been demanding classification in reservation for a long time, which is being called ‘quota within quota’.

These organizations have submitted a memorandum to the Government of India through the Collector, demanding immediate implementation of ‘quota in quota’ reservations. Professor Kamalkant Katara said that some communities including Bhils in Rajasthan have been raising their demand for a long time. But till now no concrete action has been taken on it. Moreover, Katara described this bandh as against the Constitution of India and social justice. Furthermore, he said that the majority of Dalit castes are still away from the mainstream and they are also demanding ‘quota within quota’ reservations. In such a situation, this bandh cannot be supported, because it is against democracy.

View of various organizations of Banswara

Organizations like Adivasi Reservation Manch, Ambedkar Welfare Society Banswara, Wasita Seva Sansthan Banswara, Jambukhand Jan Adhikar Manch, Bunkar Samaj Vikas Samiti, Dabgar Seva Sansthan, Bansphod Samaj, Valmiki Samaj, Khatik Samaj, Mochi Samaj etc. boycotted Bharat Bandh. They moreover, demanded to implement ‘quota within quota’ reservations.

Various Dalit organizations of Banswara have made it clear that they do not support Bharat Bandh and their priority is to get their demand for ‘quota in quota’ reservations fulfilled as soon as possible. Now it remains to be seen what action the government takes on this issue.

Bharat Bandh remained peaceful in Rajasthan

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

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.
