Panchayati land auction sparks unrest in Patiala village
Patiala: Farmers belonging to Bathoi Kalan in Patiala district on Wednesday staged a protest at the Patiala BDPO office in an effort to halt the ongoing auction process of panchayati land within the village.
During the protest, a minor clash also erupted between two groups from the village, which included Dalits and the farmers currently cultivating the panchayati land.
Secretary, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), Patiala, Balraj Joshi explained that the village possesses a total of 603 acres of panchayati land. This land has been under cultivation by the farmers for several decades. However, the district administration now intends to allocate this land to the members of the SC community living in the village.
Joshi said those who had been tilling the land were opposed to this move, leading to a petition being filed in the Punjab and Haryana high court.
According to Balraj: "The high court has stayed over 450 acres of this panchayati land, but more than 80 acres of agricultural land did not receive a stay due to technical issues experienced during the filing of the petition. The administration has now attempted to auction this land with the aim of distributing it to the SC community members and subsequently to corporate houses."

BDPO Sukhwinder Singh Tiwana said: "The auction of nearly 98 acres of panchayati land was being held when some villagers along with farmer union members started to oppose the move. Out of 603 acres, 98 acres land was not under stay of the high court. We wanted to auction these 98 acres of which 1/3rd share was supposed to be given to the SC community members in the village as per law. Those who have illegally occupied the panchayati land are opposing this auction.

The 340 km long Purvanchal Expressway has already been completed, and its connectivity to Patna is about to be completed. Now remember how easy the connectivity from Patna to Lucknow and Lucknow to Delhi will become", CM Yogi said. He stated that the 340 km-long Purvanchal Expressway is about to extend its connectivity to Patna. He called freedom fighter Veer Kunwar Singh and said that if the Purvanchal Expressway had been built in 1857, India would have become independent at that time. "When Veer Kunwar Singh, the hero of the first war of independence in 1857, fought the British till Azamgarh to defeat them, there was no connectivity. If this Purvanchal Expressway had been there at that time, the people of Azamgarh would have beaten the British along with Veer Kunwar Singh, and then this country would have become independent in 1857 itself. There was no connectivity at that time", he added.

Israel-Iran war: Congress slams Donald Trump for US strikes; urges Centre to show 'moral courage', break silence on 'Gaza genocide'
Donald Trump NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Monday criticised US President Donald Trump's decision to launch airstrikes on Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities, saying it goes against his own statements supporting continued talks with Iran. The party also criticised the Central government for not speaking out against the US bombing or Israel's actions. "President Trump's decision to unleash US air power on Iran makes a 'mockery' of his own calls for the continuation of talks with Iran," Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X. He added, "The Indian National Congress reiterates the absolute essentiality of immediate diplomacy and dialogue with Iran. The Government of India must demonstrate greater moral courage than it has so far." — Jairam_Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) Ramesh said the Modi government "has unequivocally neither criticised nor condemned the US bombing and Israel's aggression, bombings and targeted assassinations." "It has also maintained a deafening silence on the genocide being perpetrated on the Palestinians in Gaza," he wrote on X. The statement comes after the US bombed three major nuclear sites in Iran — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan — on Sunday, bringing itself directly into the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Husband Sold Son's Car After Bad Grades.

The US strike on Iran's nuclear sites has raised concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East. Before the US bombing, Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi had also spoken on the issue. In an article titled "It is still not too late for India's voice to be heard," she criticised India's silence on the situation in Gaza and Iran, calling it "not just a loss of its voice, but also a surrender of values." In the same article, Gandhi criticised US President Trump for following what she described as a "destructive path" in West Asia, after having earlier spoken against America's long military involvement in the region.

If Mercury is strong in your chart, you tend to make thoughtful, reasoned decisions. You often weigh pros and cons, gather information, and think things through carefully before acting. Mars Mars governs action and urgency. A dominant Mars leads to fast, sometimes impulsive decisions. You act based on gut instinct or passion. You may not always analyze deeply, but you're quick to choose and move forward. Moon The Moon shapes emotional awareness. If the Moon is strong, you may base decisions on feelings, comfort, or intuition. You might prioritize emotional security or others' feelings when deciding what's best. Jupiter Jupiter brings optimism and broad thinking. It helps you see the big picture and make hopeful, future-oriented decisions.
