<p>In a joint operation by the Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh police, two individuals were arrested on Monday from the Badlapur area of Thane district. Both accused are members of a WhatsApp group where discussions allegedly revolved around topics like ‘jihad’ and incitement of youth towards extremist ideology.</p>



<p>According to police officials, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) received information about the spread of extremism through this group. Based on this information, the UP ATS and Maharashtra Police raided a house in Badlapur and apprehended two suspects.</p>



<p>One of the arrested accused is a resident of Uttar Pradesh, while the other is a local resident of Badlapur. Interrogation revealed that some members of this WhatsApp group were also in contact with handlers based in Pakistan.</p>



<p>It is reported that the group was used to mentally prepare youth for a terrorist organisation. Officials stated that the frequent use and open discussion of the word ‘jihad’ in the group indicated its use for spreading extremism.</p>



<p>One accused had already been arrested in UP. Interrogation of this individual led the investigating agency to these two other accused residing near Mumbai. Subsequently, a raid was conducted in Thane with the assistance of the Maharashtra ATS.</p>



<p>Both accused have been handed over to the UP ATS, and a thorough investigation is underway. The police and ATS are also investigating the motive behind this network and the Pakistan connection.</p>

<p><strong>Huge Fire:</strong> News of a major incident is emerging from Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh. A massive fire broke out Tuesday morning in the Haryana Handloom complex located in the Gandhi Chowk area. The fire quickly engulfed dozens of nearby shops. The intensity of the fire caused panic in nearby establishments, including Bharati Press, Bharati Tower Hotel, and Haryana Handloom, within minutes.</p>



<p>According to eyewitnesses, the flames rapidly consumed the three-story building. The building reportedly housed a gym and several other shops.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fear of People Trapped</h2>



<p>There are fears that some people may be trapped inside the hotel. Following the incident, local police and administrative officials arrived at the scene and rescue operations have begun. The heavy smoke and fire are continuously hindering relief efforts. Eyewitnesses report that while the fire brigade arrived promptly, a lack of equipment and coordination is making it extremely challenging to control the fire.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accusations Against Fire Brigade</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=1024,683" alt="Huge Fire" class="wp-image-19838291" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol3.png?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fire at the shopping complex (Photo Source- Patrika Input)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Locals are accusing the fire brigade of inadequate arrangements. The lack of sufficient resources and timely effective action has allowed the fire to spread further. Additional fire engines are being brought in from other areas to control the situation. While the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, it is suspected to be due to a short circuit or contact with flammable material. Administrative officials are on the scene assessing the situation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shortcomings Exposed</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" src="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=1024,683" alt="Huge Fire" class="wp-image-19838293" srcset="https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png 1200w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=300,200 300w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=768,512 768w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=1024,683 1024w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=135,90 135w, https://cms.patrika.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/shahdol2.png?resize=90,60 90w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Fire at the shopping complex (Photo Source- Patrika Input)</figcaption></figure>



<p>This incident has once again exposed the inadequacies of safety and fire-fighting arrangements in the crowded Gandhi Chowk area. Buildings in this area, constantly under commercial pressure, do not meet fire safety standards, as evidenced by today&#8217;s incident.</p>


<p>Massive Fire at Haryana Handloom in City: A large fire broke out at Haryana Handloom, located within the city. Thirteen fire engines are battling the blaze. A family trapped inside a house and people from a nearby gym were rescued using ladders.</p>

<p>The LT Grade teacher recruitment in Uttar Pradesh, one of the most talked-about recruitments in the education sector, is witnessing tremendous enthusiasm among candidates this time. The number of One Time Registrations (OTR) for this recruitment, released after seven years, has broken all previous records. In just 21 days, over four lakh new candidates completed the OTR process, which is unprecedented for any recruitment.</p>



<p>This unprecedented number suggests that the total number of applicants this time could exceed 10 lakh, potentially surpassing the record of 10,76,004 applications for the RO/ARO preliminary examination 2023.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recruitment Process</h2>



<p>The Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) issued a short advertisement on 14 July 2025 for recruitment to 7,466 posts of LT Grade teachers. The commission also clarified that all candidates must obtain an OTR number before the online application process begins on 28 July, as no application will be accepted without an OTR.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Figures So Far</h2>



<ul>
<li>Until 14 July: 21.75 lakh candidates were registered through OTR.</li>



<li>From 15 July to 4 August (21 days): The registration number increased to 25,80,953.</li>



<li>That is: Over four lakh new OTRs in 21 days.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2018 Recruitment vs. 2025 Expectations</h2>



<p>It is noteworthy that the advertisement for LT Grade teacher recruitment was last issued in 2018. Then, the recruitment process was conducted for a total of 10,768 posts, with 7,62,317 candidates applying. In these seven years, not only have millions of new B.Ed candidates emerged, but also old candidates waiting for jobs are applying this time. This is why there is a strong possibility that the number of applications this time will exceed 10 lakh.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Demands of the Candidates</h2>



<p><strong>1. Demand for Relaxation in Age Limit</strong><br>A delegation of the competitive student union submitted a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath through Panchayati Raj Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, demanding relaxation in the upper age limit for LT Grade teacher and lecturer recruitment.</p>



<p>The memorandum argued that the last recruitment was in 2018, and no advertisement came for a long time after that, due to which many candidates have now crossed the maximum age limit. If the government grants some years of relaxation in the age limit, thousands of competitors can be relieved. Prominent names among those who submitted the memorandum include Sheetla Prasad Ojha, Ranvijay Singh, Alok Singh, Bhaskar Singh, Gaurav Yadav, Amit Rajbhar, Rajesh Pandey, and Vivek Chandra Dwivedi.</p>



<p><strong>2. Demand for OMR-based Questions in the Main Examination</strong><br>Both preliminary and main examinations will be conducted in this stage of the LT Grade teacher recruitment. However, the commission has clarified that short and long answer questions, which will be of an essay nature, will be asked in the main examination. Candidates have opposed this and demanded that the main examination should also be OMR-based objective, so that the evaluation process can be transparent and quick.</p>



<p>Sunil Kumar of the GIC Sangharsh Morcha says, &#8220;If no concrete decision is taken quickly at the government level, the candidates will continue their protest through democratic means such as protests, sit-ins, and submitting memorandums.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reasons for Such a Large Number of Registrations</h2>



<ul>
<li><strong>Recruitment after a long time:</strong> Recruitment for LT Grade posts is happening after 7 years.</li>



<li><strong>Increase in the number of B.Ed holders:</strong> Lakhs of students have done B.Ed in the past years.</li>



<li><strong>Attraction of government jobs:</strong> Amidst rising unemployment and instability in private educational institutions, a government teacher&#8217;s job is considered a secure option.</li>



<li><strong>Clear eligibility and number of posts:</strong> The recruitment rules and the number of posts have also attracted young people.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPPSC&#8217;s Estimation and Next Steps</h2>



<p>Officials estimate that at the rate at which the OTR numbers are increasing, this recruitment could become one of the largest competitive examinations ever. The last date for application is fixed as 28 August, after which the final figure will be revealed regarding the total number of candidates who participated in this much-awaited recruitment.</p>

<p><strong>Ganpati Festival 2025 Special Trains:</strong> Central Railway has announced 44 new special trains for the upcoming Ganpati Mahotsav, bringing much-needed relief to Ganesh devotees. Two additional services have also been added to the Diva-Chiplun-Diva MEMU daily unreserved trains. This announcement increases the total number of Ganpati special trains from 250 to 296.</p>



<p>Ganpati Festival is considered the biggest and most grand festival in Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai and the Konkan region. Millions of devotees travel to their villages during this time. Every year, the railway runs special trains to manage this crowd and ease travel for the people. This year, the number of services has been further increased, providing significant relief to passengers.</p>



<p>A key addition is a bi-weekly special train between Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and Sawantwadi Road, operating a total of 8 trips. This train will depart from LTT at 8:45 AM on Thursdays and Sundays (28 August, 31 August, 4 September, and 7 September), arriving at Sawantwadi Road at 10:20 PM the same day.</p>



<p>The return journey from Sawantwadi Road will depart at 11:20 PM on the same dates, arriving at LTT, Mumbai at 12:30 PM the next day. This train will have 20 stops, including major stations like Thane, Panvel, Roha, Ratnagiri, Kudal, and Sindhudurg. The train&#8217;s composition will include two AC-3 tier coaches, twelve sleeper coaches, six general second-class coaches, and two guard brake vans.</p>



<p>Furthermore, 36 services of MEMU daily unreserved special trains between Diva and Khed will be introduced. From Diva, the train will depart daily at 1:40 PM from 22 August to 8 September, reaching Khed at 8:00 PM the same day. The return train will depart from Khed at 8:00 AM daily from 23 August to 9 September, arriving at Diva at 1:00 PM. This train, an 8-coach MEMU rake, will stop at several local stations including Panvel, Roha, Indapur, and Vinhere.</p>



<p>Two additional services have also been added to the previously announced Diva-Chiplun-Diva MEMU daily unreserved special trains. This train will now operate 40 trips and run from 22 August to 10 September. The railway has also simplified the reservation system for passenger convenience.</p>



<p>Bookings for Ganpati Special Train number 01131 commenced on 3 August at all computerised reservation centres and on the website <a href="www.irctc.co.in">www.irctc.co.in</a>. Tickets for unreserved compartments can be purchased through the UTS app or at the station, and the fare will be as per the usual charges for superfast mail/express trains.</p>



<p>With this addition, the total number of previously announced 250 trains has increased to 296. This initiative by the railway is a boon for the thousands of Ganesh devotees who travel from Mumbai and surrounding areas to Konkan during Ganesh Utsav. This will ensure a safe and convenient journey for these passengers.</p>

Seven Mistakes That Damage Knees: Desk Job Workers Beware


<p>National Bone and Joint Day is observed every year on 4 August. It aims to raise awareness about bone and joint health. In today&#8217;s digital age, those who spend all day sitting in front of laptops or computers are at the greatest risk. If you also remain glued to your office chair from morning till evening, this habit is slowly damaging your back, neck, and knees.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is the Problem of Joint Problems Increasing?</h2>



<p>Dr. Amit Meena, Senior Consultant-Arthroplasty and Arthroscopy, Jaipur, explains that nowadays, complaints of back pain, neck stiffness, and knee pain are common even among young people aged 25-40. The biggest reason for this is sitting in one place for too long. Whether it&#8217;s the office or work from home, sitting all day without moving causes joint stiffness and muscle weakness in the body.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seven mistakes that most office workers make daily</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Sitting continuously for hours</strong></h3>



<p>Sitting for long periods makes muscles and joints stiff.</p>



<ul>
<li>Walk at least 50 steps every hour.</li>



<li>Take a 5-minute walk break every hour.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Sitting in incorrect posture</strong></h3>



<p>Sitting with a slouched posture, neck forward, or rounded back puts pressure on the spine and knees.</p>



<ul>
<li>Keep the screen at eye level.</li>



<li>Feet should be flat on the ground and elbows at 90 degrees.</li>



<li>Do stretching at least 7 times during an 8-hour duty.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Ignoring desk exercises</strong></h3>



<p>Working only while sitting is harmful.</p>



<ul>
<li>Do desk yoga or seated stretches.</li>



<li>Light spinal twists, forward bends, and backbends improve blood circulation.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Vitamin D deficiency</strong></h3>



<p>Lack of sunlight in air-conditioned offices leads to Vitamin D deficiency, which weakens bones.</p>



<ul>
<li>Spend 15-20 minutes in the sun.</li>



<li>Take supplements as advised by your doctor and keep getting your levels checked.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Wearing wrong footwear</strong></h3>



<p>Wearing high heels or tight shoes for long periods affects the knees.</p>



<ul>
<li>Wear comfortable, soft-cushioned shoes.</li>



<li>Men should also choose shoes with a wide toe box.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Carelessness in diet</strong></h3>



<ul>
<li>Deficiency of protein, calcium, and Vitamin D weakens bones.</li>



<li>Include paneer, lentils, eggs, almonds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, and walnuts in your diet.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Ignoring exercise</strong></h3>



<p>If you are not at all active after a day&#8217;s fatigue, it affects the joints.</p>



<ul>
<li>Do 25-30 minutes of walking, yoga, cycling, or strength training daily.</li>



<li>Remember, movement is medicine.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tips for Healthy Bones and Joints</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Sr. No.</td>
<td>Tip</td>
<td>Description</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1.</td>
<td><strong>Stay physically active</strong></td>
<td>Regularly do low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, cycling, or yoga. This helps maintain joint flexibility and strengthens the muscles that support the joints. Activity increases the flow of synovial fluid (the natural lubricant of the joints), reducing stiffness and allowing the joints to move smoothly.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2.</td>
<td><strong>Maintain a healthy weight</strong></td>
<td>Excess body weight puts extra stress on joints like the knees, hips, and spine. Every extra kilo increases joint wear and tear, leading to faster breakdown of cartilage. Even a small weight loss reduces pressure on the joints and decreases the risk of osteoarthritis.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3.</td>
<td><strong>Eat joint-friendly foods</strong></td>
<td>A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish like salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts) can help reduce joint inflammation. Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables also help fight free radicals that damage joints. Your diet should also include Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4.</td>
<td><strong>Do strength training</strong></td>
<td>When there are strong muscles around the joints, they act like shock absorbers, taking pressure off the joints. Resistance training or bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, or leg lifts can help maintain joint stability and alignment.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>5.</td>
<td><strong>Stay hydrated</strong></td>
<td>Water is a crucial part of synovial fluid. If you are dehydrated, it can lead to joint stiffness and reduce the lubricating capacity of the fluid. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps maintain joint elasticity and shock-absorbing capacity.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These tips also work</h2>



<ul>
<li>The office chair should be ergonomic.</li>



<li>Drink water every 2-3 hours to keep the body hydrated.</li>



<li>On holidays, try activities like outdoor games or swimming.</li>
</ul>



<p>Technology has certainly made work easier, but if we don&#8217;t take care of our bones and joints, knee problems can start in our 30s and 40s. Small changes like correct posture, light stretching, a healthy diet, and a little daily activity can keep your joints healthy for years.</p>


Health

<p>If you also work in an office, sitting in one place for hours, then beware. The habit of sitting for long periods is slowly damaging your back, neck, and knees.</p>

Krishna Janmashtami 2025: Four Auspicious Muhurats for Worship


<p>Krishna Janmashtami, the festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna, is observed with great devotion and faith across India. According to scriptures, Lord Krishna was born at midnight on the Ashtami Tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. In 2025, this Tithi will begin at 11:49 PM on 15 August and end at 9:34 PM on 16 August.</p>



<p>According to religious beliefs, those following the Smarta Sampradaya will celebrate Janmashtami on 15 August, while the Vaishnava Sampradaya will celebrate the birth anniversary on 16 August. If you are planning to perform puja at home, you can worship Lord Krishna during any of the four auspicious muhurats given below.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brahma Muhurat (4:24 AM to 5:07 AM)</h2>



<p>Brahma Muhurat is considered the purest and most tranquil time of the day. Worship during this time provides mental peace and spiritual energy. Those who are not observing a fast can wake up early, bathe, and perform their devotion to Kanha Ji during this time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vijaya Muhurat (2:37 PM to 3:30 PM)</h2>



<p>Vijaya Muhurat is believed to bestow success and auspicious results. Worshipping Lord Krishna during this time maintains peace and prosperity in the home and ensures success in all endeavours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Godhuli Muhurat (7:00 PM to 7:22 PM)</h2>



<p>Godhuli Bela is considered a special time for worship and lighting lamps. During this time, light a lamp in the home temple, perform the aarti of Lord Krishna, and offer Makhan-Mishri (butter and sugar) as prasad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nishita Muhurat (12:04 AM to 12:47 AM)</h2>



<p>This is the time when Lord Krishna descended to Earth. During this time, perform an abhisheka (ritual bath) of Lord Krishna with Panchamrit (a mixture of five nectars), dress him in new clothes, and swing his cradle (jhula). This puja is considered the most fruitful.</p>

<p>The Yogi government in Uttar Pradesh has announced a significant gift for the state&#8217;s women ahead of Raksha Bandhan. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared that women will receive free travel on UP Roadways (UPSRTC) and urban bus services from 6 am on August 8th to 12 am on August 10th. This facility will be available across Uttar Pradesh for three days.</p>



<p>Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath made this announcement during a crucial meeting at his official residence. This free travel facility for women has been provided with Raksha Bandhan in mind, enabling them to meet their brothers and celebrate the festival joyfully.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gift Repeated from Last Year</h2>



<p>It is noteworthy that this is not the first time the Yogi government has offered this gift to women on Raksha Bandhan. A similar facility was provided last year, and it is being repeated this year. This initiative has been undertaken with a focus on women&#8217;s safety and convenience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus on Janmashtami Preparations</h2>



<p>Along with the announcement of the free bus service, the Chief Minister also gave necessary instructions to officials regarding the upcoming Janmashtami festival. He explicitly stated that arrangements for cleanliness, security, and crowd control must be strictly ensured during the festival. Instructions were also given to strengthen arrangements in view of the increasing crowds at temples.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ Campaign and Drone Surveillance</h2>



<p>The meeting also discussed the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, drone operations, law and order, and issues related to the Basic Education Department. The Chief Minister instructed officials to avoid any negligence and work with better coordination at every level.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Initiative for Coordination Between Officials and Public Representatives</h2>



<p>CM Yogi had recently raised this issue in a review meeting of Jhansi and Chitrakoot divisions, highlighting dissatisfaction among MPs and MLAs with officials in their respective areas. Many public representatives complained that they had to make repeated efforts for development work but were not receiving the expected cooperation. On this issue, the Chief Minister took a firm stance, emphasising better coordination between officials and public representatives.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Another Step Towards Women&#8217;s Empowerment</h2>



<p>This initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government is not merely a convenient travel service; it is also a strong step towards women&#8217;s empowerment. The government aims to enable women to reach their destinations independently and safely.</p>
