A sinkhole became a picnic spot

A sinkhole was formed last Monday in Sahagrasar village of Lunkaransar tehsil due to sudden ground subsidence. Now this sinkhole has become a picnic spot. People are not serious about the sinkhole and are risking their lives by entering the pit.

It is noteworthy that on the night of 15th April, on the road leading from Dhani Bhopalaram to Sahajarasar village, the ground suddenly caved in in a field in Rohi near Sahajarasar village. Due to ground subsidence, a crater 150 to 200 feet wide and 70-80 feet deep was formed. Now, after five days, the sinkhole’s depth and width have also increased significantly. Also, huge cracks have formed in the surrounding areas including the road. This has created a situation of curiosity in the surrounding area.

Scientists from the Mines and Geology Department reached the spot and investigated the pit formed due to land subsidence, but no conclusion was reached. Scientists had suggested an investigation from GCI scientists. The subdivision administration also wrote to the District Collector regarding this, but no investigation has been done yet.

The sinkhole is now a picnic spot

People are making videos and reels about a sinkhole formed due to land subsidence and posting it on social media. Due to the discussion everywhere, a large number of people are reaching there every day. Youth are risking their lives in the process of making videos and reels. They are not giving importance to the fencing and lime marking done by the administration. Even on Saturday, a video of a youth entering the sinkhole and applauding people is going viral on social media.

Now the administration has also shown strictness after receiving information that a young man had fallen into the pit on Saturday evening regarding the pit formed due to land subsidence in Rohi of Sahjarasar village. Sub-Divisional Officer and Sub-Divisional Magistrate Rajendra Kumar have imposed Section 144 and prohibited entry into the potholed area without permission until further orders. Police can arrest those who break the section and take action. There is also a provision for punishment of up to two years or a fine for breaking the section. Earlier, the police had arrested a young man for disturbing the peace after he entered the pit.

What is a Man-portable Anti Tank Guided Missile

A Man-Portable Anti Tank Guided Missile is a type of missile system designed to be carried and operated by an individual soldier or small team. Furthermore, these missiles are used primarily to engage and destroy armoured vehicles, including tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and other fortified targets.

Man-portable ATGMs are typically shoulder-fired or launched from a portable tripod or vehicle mount. Additionally, they are guided by various means, including wire guidance, laser guidance, or infrared homing systems. Some advanced MPATGMs also incorporate fire-and-forget capabilities, allowing the operator to fire the missile and then manoeuvre or take cover while the missile autonomously tracks and engages the target.

These weapons provide infantry units with the capability to effectively engage armoured threats from a safe distance, giving them a significant advantage on the battlefield. Moreover, they are an essential component of modern anti-armour tactics and are widely used by military forces around the world.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the Indian Army and DRDO

A Defense Ministry official said on Sunday that the trial of its tandem warhead system has been completed. Furthermore, it was found to be capable of defeating modern armour-protected tanks. Even before this, the system was tested in various areas.

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO and the Indian Army for successfully testing the system. Moreover, he described it as an important step towards achieving self-reliance in developing modern technology-based defence systems. DRDO Chairman Sameer V. Kamat also congratulated the teams associated with the test.

Earlier the rates were different in the districts and in the state itself there was a difference of up to Rs 5 per litre in the rates of petrol and diesel.
