Jaipur: A proposal passed in the board meeting of Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Heritage (JMC-H) on May 26 to install a statue of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar came to fruition Saturday with the grand unveiling of an 8-foot tall statue at the newly developed Ahilyabai Holkar Garden in Haripura.
The inauguration was carried out in the presence of Acharya Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das Maharaj from Sant Ravidas Janmasthali, Varanasi, along with Civil Lines MLA Gopal Sharma and JMC-H acting mayor Kusum Yadav. The atmosphere turned emotional as chants of "Ahilyabai Amar Rahein" and "Har Har Mahadev" echoed throughout the park, while devotees eagerly took selfies with the statue.
Prior to the unveiling, a vibrant Kalash Yatra was taken out from Rojgareshwar Mahadev Temple, led by hundreds of women and prominent members of various communities, with Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das at the helm.
The procession was greeted with floral showers and refreshments along the way.
MLA Sharma said, "Residents of Haripura's Durga Vistar and Park View colonies were demanding a park for over 40 years. It is a matter of pride that this long-pending need was fulfilled during the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar under the double-engine govt of PM Modi and CM Bhajan Lal Sharma."
Mayor Yadav highlighted Ahilyabai's legacy of justice and compassion and promised to develop the park into a model cultural space. Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das praised Ahilyabai's temple restorations during the Mughal era. tnn

When can the US revoke your H‑1B visa — legally?
Recent immigration measures under President Trump have alarmed even legal immigrants. Enhanced border scrutiny now targets green-card holders and visa holders based on speech or travel history, not just unlawful entry. A sweeping travel ban now affects nationals from numerous countries—including legal residents and tourists—raising fears of sudden entry denials. The expansion of expedited deportations, even targeting those attending court hearings, and public comments suggesting green-card holders have no guaranteed right to remain, have exacerbated widespread uncertainty among legal residents. These moves have added to the unease felt by H‑1B visa holders as well. Even those with long‑standing jobs and legal status worry about tighter enforcement and sudden changes that could affect their right to work and stay in the US. The fear is that policies making it harder for legal residents and visa holders to maintain their status will also impact H‑1B holders, making long‑term planning in the US more uncertain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologist Reveals: The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo The H‑1B visa allows skilled professionals to work in the US, but it is tied to specific conditions. The US government can revoke an H‑1B visa if certain rules are not followed. (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) Here is an explanation of when and why this can happen. Live Events Why the H‑1B Visa Might Be Revoked The H‑1B visa is granted for a specific employer and role. It can be revoked if the person no longer works for that employer, if rules are broken, or if information used for the visa application is found to be false. 1. End of Employment If an employee leaves their H‑1B employer, the employer must inform US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). In this case, USCIS can revoke the petition. 2. Employer Request An employer can ask USCIS to withdraw the H‑1B petition at any time, especially when an employee is no longer with the company. 3. Violation of Visa Terms If an H‑1B holder works for a different employer or in a role that was not authorized, it is considered a breach of status. USCIS can revoke the visa as a result. 4. Misrepresentation or Fraud If it is found that an H‑1B petition was granted based on false information or misrepresentation, the visa can be revoked. 5. Company Changes If the employer goes out of business, closes, or undergoes significant structural changes that affect the role, the H‑1B petition can be revoked. 6. Failure to Maintain Status If the visa holder stops working and does not maintain status or seek a change to another status, USCIS has the right to revoke the H‑1B. The H‑1B visa can be revoked when an employee leaves their job, when an employer requests it, when visa conditions are violated, when fraud is detected, or when the employer's business status changes. Understanding these conditions is important for both employers and visa holders to stay compliant and protect their status in the US.

HC stays arrest in attack at MP's house over Rana Sanga row
Prayagraj: The Allahabad high court stayed the arrest of Okendra Singh Rana in two separate FIRs lodged against him regarding the alleged attack by at the residence of Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman at Agra on Mar 26 following an alleged defamatory statement in Parliament regarding a medieval period king, Rana Sanga. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While directing to list the case after six weeks, a division bench comprising Justice Siddharth and Justice Harvir Singh made it clear that the interim order will be subject to the cooperation by the petitioner in the on-going investigation. Passing this direction, the court also made it clear that if some credible material is brought on record during investigation against the petitioner, the investigation officer of the case, after recording its reason, may arrest the petitioner while strictly adhering to the guidelines issued by the apex court in Arnesh Kumar case. The court also issued a notice to the first informant — Randhir Suman, former MLA and son of RamJi Lal Suman, who had lodged the first FIR against members of Karni Sena at Hariparwat police station of Agra district immediately after the alleged attack on Mar 27. Another FIR was lodged by a sub-inspector, who was posted in the security of MP Suman on June 1, 2025 on the same issue at Hariparwat police station against members of Karni Sena. The petitioner had challenged both the FIRs and had sought a stay on his arrest in both cases. The counsel for the petitioner took the plea that the petitioner has not been named in the FIR. During investigation, he was falsely implicated in the matter by the police. The controversy began when Ramji Lal Suman made a statement in Parliament on Mar 21 suggesting that Rana Sanga had invited Mughal emperor Babur to India to defeat Ibrahim Lodi. He further argued that if Indian Muslims are labelled as Babur's descendants, then by the same logic, other communities could also be seen as descendants of a "traitor" like Rana Sanga. These remarks, which questioned the Rajput legacy, provoked an immediate backlash from Rajput organisations, including the Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha and the Karni Sena. Subsequently, the members of Karni Sena attacked and vandalised the residence of Suman in Agra on Mar 26.
