Dumka: With the annual
Shravani Mela
scheduled to begin from July 11, the Deoghar district administration has begun preparations to ensure a hassle-free experience for devotees during their pilgrimage to
Baba Baidyanath
.
Deoghar DC Vishal Sagar, along with his subordinates, took stock of the preparations on Saturday, by inspecting the entire Kanwariya (pilgrims) route from the Dumma-based interstate bordering point with Bihar to the Babadham temple and other important places.
He also inspected the preparations at Baghmara bus stand and the proposed site for establishing a tent city at Kothiya for the devotees.
"Apart from the availability of basic amenities for pilgrims, the tent city must have proper ventilation and a hygienic atmosphere," he directed the officials concerned, emphasising safe electric transmission arrangements and proper distance of lavatories. The DC also directed officials to ensure provisions for
health camps for devotees
at strategic locations.
Considering the adverse climatic conditions, particularly the scorching heat, the DC also directed to install Indra Varsha (mist sprinkling) along the route and at holding points for devotees.
He also directed the Deoghar municipal corporation to ensure regular treatment of the water of Shivganga (the holy pond) during the period.
The DC also took stock of the queue complex and the Integrated Mela Control Room (IMCR) and issued directions for better coordination during the mela.

Tour operator told to refund elderly couple for cancelled tour in Covid times

Ahmedabad: A consumer commission here has ordered a tour operator to refund the full amount with interest, along with Rs 55,000 compensation, to an elderly couple whose tours to Japan and Europe could not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The couple was reluctant to go to the UK, Ireland, and Scotland upon the operator's insistence three years later. This case involved Asha and Yogesh Doshi, residents of the Ambawadi area, who paid Rs 5.30 lakh in 2019 to Mumbai-based Neem Holidays Pvt Ltd for two tours — Japan and Europe in 2020. Due to the Covid pandemic, the tours were cancelled. When normalcy returned, they requested the same tour package, but the operator could not arrange it. Considering that people were still reeling under financial stress due to Covid, the couple did not demand their money back. In 2022, the tour operator offered them a 13-day package for Australia. They agreed and paid Rs 10,000 extra, but this did not take place. A year later, the operator offered the couple a tour to the United Kingdom. The couple refused this trip, yet their tickets were booked. They requested the company not to force them to accept this package tour and demanded their money back. As the operator did not respond, the couple sued it with the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission, Ahmedabad City to get the refund. The operator's lawyer appeared, but the reply was not filed. The commission said that since the money was lying with the operator, the complainants did not have any choice but to agree to the unreasonable request. However, compelling them for another tour against their wish was harassment. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The complainant's money has been wrongfully withheld by the opponent, and therefore the complainants are entitled to receive the full money of the package tour from the opponent," it said. The commission ordered the operator to return Rs 5.40 lakh with 8% interest, along with Rs 55,000 extra towards compensation for causing "physical harassment and mental agony" and towards the expenditure the couple incurred on litigation.

Air fares surge post Ahmedabad plane crash, rampant price gouging

Following the Ahmedabad plane crash, a sharp increase in air ticket prices is observed, something that can be described as price gouging, or charging excessively high rates. According to reports, nearly 41 per cent tickets have been cancelled, said Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council Chairperson Jyoti Mayal. A travel agent mentioned that a ticket, which was priced slightly above Rs 6,000 before the accident, is now being sold for around Rs 34,000. Mayal said that there has been a significant rise in ticket cancellations following the Ahmedabad plane accident. Speaking to ANI, she said, "I don't want to take names, but some airlines have increased their ticket prices. This is reportedly because flights that are running full due to cancellations have seen a spike in ticket fares. According to her information, around 41 per cent of tickets have been cancelled. However, similar trends were also noticed recently in connection with Jammu and Kashmir." She further mentioned that they are receiving queries from people asking whether the prices of exit row seats will now increase. "I would like to clarify that there is no such information yet suggesting that the fares for exit row seats have increased. She said that it is certain that most people are now demanding seats in the exit row. She also pointed out that travel agents have suffered significant losses in recent days. Whenever any adverse situation arises, the travel trade is the first to be affected," she told ANI. Roopak Punyani, owner of Delhi-based travel company Travel Canvas India Private Limited, said that apart from the overall global situation and recent tensions between India and Pakistan, the Ahmedabad accident has had a serious negative impact. Cancellations are mainly coming from the corporate sector. Most people are now ensuring that they avoid flying in Boeing aircraft, he said. While he did not directly say that this has caused a rise in ticket prices, he noted that direct flights from certain locations are no longer operating. As a result, passengers are having to pay higher fares due to having to travel on connecting flights. Saurabh Tiwari, a travel agent at Sushant Travels, Delhi, said that they are receiving a large number of flight ticket cancellation requests. Passengers are quite scared. Some travellers are even converting their air travel plans into train journeys, causing them significant inconvenience and loss. He also mentioned that cancellations have impacted ticket prices, leading to a surge. For example, a flight from Delhi to Dhaka, which used to cost around Rs 7,000 to Rs 9,000, is now priced between Rs 30,000 to Rs 34,000. According to him, airline companies have increased ticket fares, and this change is being seen due to the cancellation of Air India flights following the Ahmedabad plane accident.

US urges citizens to avoid Iraq travel amid rising Iran-Israel conflict

The United States has issued an alert to its citizens against travelling to Iraq under any circumstances, citing the threat of terrorism, kidnapping, armed conflict, and civil unrest amid escalating regional tensions linked to the Iran-Israel conflict. The advisory comes after the US Department of State on June 11 ordered the departure of non-emergency government personnel from Iraq, underscoring the deteriorating security conditions in the country. 'Do not travel to Iraq for any reason,' the US Embassy and Consulate in Iraq said in an alert, pointing to the 'US government's limited ability to provide emergency services to US citizens in Iraq.' According to the updated travel advisory, American citizens in Iraq face a range of serious threats including violence by terrorist and insurgent groups, anti-US militia activity, and frequent attacks involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs), indirect fire, and drones. These attacks have occurred even in major urban centres. 'US government personnel in Iraq are required to live and work under strict security due to serious threats,' the Embassy said, adding that Baghdad-based staff are prohibited from using the Baghdad International Airport due to ongoing risks. The US has also cautioned against travel to areas near Iraq's northern borders, warning of aerial bombardments, armed clashes, and heightened militant activity. American nationals are particularly discouraged from attempting to cross into Syria through Iraq. 'US citizens should not travel through Iraq to engage in armed conflict in Syria,' the advisory noted. 'They would face extreme personal risks — kidnapping, injury, or death — and legal risks including arrest, fines, and expulsion.' 10-years jail for illegal border crossing The Kurdistan Regional Government has announced that those caught illegally crossing the Iraq-Syria border could face prison terms of up to ten years. Adding to the dangers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also issued flight advisories for civil aviation operating in and around Iraqi airspace. Travellers have been urged to check FAA regulations before making any travel decisions. Apart from security threats, regular demonstrations, protests, and labour strikes across Iraq further complicate travel and movement within the country. The Embassy warned that such events could erupt without notice and potentially turn violent. 'Don't rely on US govt assistance' For those who still choose to remain in or travel to Iraq despite the warnings, the US government strongly advises preparation of a comprehensive personal security plan, arranging legal documents such as wills and powers of attorney, and ensuring that loved ones have access to essential records in case of emergencies. 'Have departure plans that do not rely on US government assistance,' the advisory said.
