BLOGGER - #GLOBAL NEW DELHI: Shooters from Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh and the Trans-Yamuna region allegedly bumped off Dubai-based entrepreneurNadir Shah in south Delhi’sGreater Kailash I on Thursday night, a probe has revealed. Delhi Police‘s Special Cell has managed to detain around seven suspects – four of whom have been placed under arrest – for the brazen killing that TOI reported on Friday.Two of the main shooters, captured on CCTV, have been identified as Madhur and Raju but are on the run.As of now,gangsters LawrenceBishnoi, Rohit Godara and Hashim Baba are being considered the masterminds of the shootout. While several motives are being floated, investigators believe it was a ‘symbolic killing’ aimed at sending a strong signal to big businessmen in both Dubai and India.There were several reasons why Shah was a target. He was a friend of south Delhi gangster Rohit Chaudhary and another entity codenamed K. “This irked Bishnoi, who was apparently informed that Shah had a multi-crore rupee transaction with K,” said a source. “The Bishnoi group was also being tipped on how Shah used his contacts to target Baba’s men. So, they decided to send a message.”A land shark, codenamed AJ, from south Delhi but now settled in Dubai and another criminal from northeast Delhi named Sabir are also under the scanner for involvement in the conspiracy.The Azamgarh module – comprising Akash, Prince and Vishal – arrived in the city on Thursday and stayed in Jamia Nagar. Baba’s men allegedly provided them logistical support and weapons. Some other men like Naveen from Sonipat also joined them. They reached the gym in GKI in an autorickshaw and a two-wheeler. They zeroed in on the target who was standing outside the gym, and Madhur pulled the trigger around 10.45pm, said a police officer. The assailants fired 15 rounds, nine of which hit Shah. They then fled, some going to Seelampur and the others elsewhere. Akash, Prince, Vishal and Naveen were arrested with a copy of a US-made Ruger pistol and dozens of bullets early on Friday.Around midnight, a Facebook account in the name of Rohit Godara claimed responsibility for the murder. “Our brother Samir Baba, lodged in Tihar Jail, had sent a message that Nadir was creating obstacles in our business and was friends with our enemies, so we got him killed. Whoever helps our enemies will meet the same fate,” the post from a day-old account stated. Godara is the man Friday of Bishnoi and Goldy Brar and has been behind many killings across the country, including that of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Gogamedi. The post is cryptic, an investigator said, because it doesn’t mention Bishnoi, which is usually the case after such killings but mentions instead the names of associates like Gogi Maan and Kala Rana. Godara likely funded the shooters, the cops say.Sources said that the killing has a strong connection with the Trans-Yamuna region and the Baba, the area’s most dreaded gangster, has emerged as a key character in the plot. His rivalry with incarcerated south Delhi gangster Rohit Chaudhary is being probed. “Baba was irked as Shah and Chaudhary were not letting his men operate in south Delhi areas like Aya Nagar, etc., using their contacts. Nadir was also an informer for some cops and used the connection to tip off police about the Baba gang’s activities,” said a source. Samir, mentioned in the Facebook post, is also a gangster who operates in northeast Delhi on Baba’s instructions but is currently in jail after the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital shooting in July.Baba’s alliance with Bishnoi has been in police knowledge for over three years. “Bishnoi had initially tasked Baba to assassinate Siddhu Moose Wala. Baba’s aide, Shahrukh, had conducted a reconnaissance of the slain singer’s movements.

Shahrukh even reached Mansa in Punjab with weapons, but was unable to carry out the killing,” informed a source.

Figure 1 38 year old Devendra Sura, a constable in the Haryana Police, whose mission it is to make the state green.

From Arid to Abundant: How Devendra Sura’s Vision Transformed Barren Land Into Oxygen Parks in Haryana

“It has been written in the holy books of our motherland that as long as we live, it is our duty to protect the environment: to plant enough trees, to safeguard the birds, and conserve wildlife. We should take care of the environment at all costs”, exhorts 38-year-old Devendra Sura as he looks placidly at the vast expanse of greenery that stretches as far as the eyes could see, at the Oxygen Park in the village of Bhatgaon, Haryana. Over the course of the past one and a half years, Devendra, a constable in the Haryana police has inspired over 7000 youths across villages in the state to transform dry, arid patches of land into pristine habitats of natural life and greenery. The Oxygen Bagh in Bhatgaon is the 10th such oxygen park planted across Haryana, serving its function to restore forest cover and sequester carbon in the state. A land the size of ten football fields initially defined by its thorny bushes and bumpy surface is now home to over 25000 plants, spanning over 100 different species.

Figure 2 Before and after images: A dry arid, patch of land measuring 10 acres has transformed into a Oxygen Park in the village of Bhatgaon, Haryana.

The people’s movement or “ Jan Anodlan ”as Devendra describes it have resulted in the plantation of over 3 lakh trees in Haryana, at a time when the state holds the ignominious record of having the lowest forest cover in the country at 3.65 percent. The mission to make Haryana “green” was spurred after witnessing the bird species in the region losing their abode on account of the rampant loss of forest cover. In addition to providing oxygen and food, Devendra said trees offer myriad benefits supporting an ecosystem of plant and animal species.“ The idea of the Oxygen Bagh came about after witnessing the deadly impacts of Covid-19. The pandemic was caused by humanity’s collective failure towards preserving the environment. When trees are cut down, bird species lose their home, leading to their extinction. The earth’s inherent balance is disturbed. It’s only when birds are safe, we can assured that humans are safe”, believes Devendra.

The villages and its inhabitants have transformed into the nerve center for Devendra and his efforts. While he invests some of his life earnings into the plantation initiative, the effort is aided greatly due to the generous shramdan’s (donations) that the villagers dole out. “ This Jan Andolan has come to fruition thanks to the absolute dedication and fierce passion displayed by our youth warriors. I draw inspiration from the philosophy of Swami Vivekananda. He believed that if he had 100 hardworking, committed boys at his disposal who give their heart and soul to the progress of this nation, he would fulfill his dreams of making India the Vishwa Guru (World Leader). While there may be have been challenges initially in convincing the older villagers at the panchayats, the enthusiasm and energy displayed by the youngsters was enough to ensure this movement takes the form of a Jan Andolan”, asserts Devendra.

Figure 3 Villagers come together for the establishment of the Oxygen Park, spurred by Devendra's intitiative.

One such ‘youth warrior’ is Mohit Dhounchack, a 21 year old who has made it his life’s duty to preserve the environment. Inspired by the ideology of Devendra, Dhounchak is responsible for maintaining the Oxygen Bagh and Janata nursery in the Sonipat area. Despite his dedicated efforts, he does not earn any renumeration for the services he renders. For Dhounchak, the cause holds spiritual significance, making the initiative of preserving the environment beyond the incentives of livelihood and material pursuits.

“ Our generation is blinded by the impacts of Westernization. We are increasingly engaged in wasteful behavior, indulging in aspects of partying, drinking and smoking. There is never enough to fulfill our desires. The cost of materialism is rising. As a result, it’s the unspeaking living creatures: the animals, trees and birds that are affected and at their most vulnerable. Man should only have enough to fulfill his essential needs. Once they are taken care of, he must dedicate his life to the service of the nation. It could be any particular aspect. It is just that I have chosen my mission to be the protection of the environment. The model that Devendra and his troops are adopting is beyond any imitation, we don’t take inspiration from Western efforts. Our work reflects the ethos of this nation, and follows the diktats laid down by the forefathers of our ancient civilization. This is the land of Sadhu’s and Sants, we must preserve its beauty”, says Dhounchack.

Failed afforestation projects

The mass movement of the establishment of Oxygen Bagh is aiding India in its climate goals of Net Zero Carbon Emissions and restoring forest covering at a time when the government’s planned afforestation projects have failed in the state. According to data released by the Indian State of Forest Report 2021, Haryana lost over 140 sq. km of tree cover from 1,565 sq. km in 2020 to 1,425 sq. km in 2021. The primary reason for the loss in tree cover has been attributed to the large-scale development projects in the state's urban centers. D.P.S Verma, a retired IFS officer, and Ex PCFF, held the poor execution of the specific climate-related action plans of the state responsible for the loss of tree cover. “Most of the forests are being diverted for non-forestry purposes to aid the sanctioned development projects, particularly the widening of roads. The evidence clearly shows that we lack tree and forest cover. It isn’t that the government does not have specific agendas in place to restore forest cover, but rather its improper execution that is leading to the failure of its climate efforts. Further, the determined policy plans for implementing large-scale afforestation projects are flawed in their conception.”

Recognizing the consequences of the uninhibited felling of trees in the region to make way for commercial and industrial projects, the state government decided to enact the flagship compensatory afforestation practice in a bid to make up for the loss in green cover. Under the policy, any project proponent that endeavors to break forest ground and fell trees for infrastructure projects or growth initiatives must pay the government for plantation of trees in another area of equivalent degraded forest land or non -forest land. Despite the implementation of such large- scale afforestation projects, the forest cover has decreased from a mere 1,604 sq.km in 2005 to 1,603 sq.km in 2021, as per the latest data released by the IFSR.

"What is the point of undertaking such policy initiatives when there is a clear unavailability of land to compensate for the loss in forest cover? The compensatory afforestation policy is nothing but an eyewash that merely serves to allay the public's concerns regarding the impending effects of climate change without specifically addressing and solving them. Crops are grown on land types and terrains that don't support their growth, while most forest conservators lack little incentive and initiative to monitor the progress and growth of the crops. However, even beyond these factors, the misallocation of funds is responsible for the policy initiatives of the program not coming to fruition. Most of these funds are hardly ever invested in actual plantation efforts", articulates Verma.

Over the past five years, less than half of the compensatory afforestation funds have been utilized by the state, while plantation targets have not been fulfilled, suggesting a colossal waste of public expenditure. Out of the 1,286 crore rupees allocated for the afforestation, only 579 crores were utilized, the Compensatory Afforestation Fund and Planning Authority revealed.

The recent decision of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to utilize the funds earmarked for the creation of compensatory afforestation to create a jungle safari in the Aravalli has sparked widespread controversy among environmentalists and policy planning experts. It is not just the motives but rather the decision's legality that is being questioned.

Haryana has the task of undertaking compensatory afforestation in the Aravalli region to make up for over 130 sq. km of tropical forests being cleared for large-scale development projects in the Andaman and Nicobar region. Environmentalists have criticized the plan's purpose, claiming that a region separated over 2,400 kilometers away from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands cannot make up for the loss of flora and fauna in the territory.

"The entire plan is an exercise in futility. A tropical forest, a natural habitat, takes over hundreds of years to develop. How can we expect a region with a completely different soil type and land terrain to recreate and harness the ecology of a place that is so abundant in biodiversity?" says Kumar Rajesh, a policy planning expert who was associated with the '#Repeal Compensatory Afforestation Programme' with Oxfam India.

He further highlighted the dubious aspects of the government's decision to utilize the funds to create the "world's largest curated wildlife safari," a major tourist attraction that would attract visitors from across the world. "A report undertaken by the Controller and Auditor General of India in 2013 which observed the state of compensatory afforestation, found irregularities with the usage of CA funds in India, clearly decreeing that usage of funds cannot be utilized for the purpose of ecotourism. Ten years later, the rules have not changed. Even if we are willing to ignore the legality aspect, it is evident that the government has misplaced priorities, with its aim set on monetizing ecology rather than restoring tree cover in the region", emphasizes Rajesh.

Under the condition of anonymity, a forest official working at the higher levels of the government admitted that such a policy imitative is not allowed to be implemented. "We cannot create a wildlife safari using the funds. The rules simply don't allow that."

The barren, arid lands that populate Haryana are a fitting symbol of the failed implementation of the compensatory afforestation initiative in the state.

Focus on plantation, not restoration.

In stark contrast to the government's policy initiatives, the efforts of Devendra Sura and his Paryavaran Mitra ( friends of the environment) are focused on the aspect of the plantation rather than the restoration of tree cover. “ Is there ever a discussion about chopping human beings? We are expected to extend a sense of civility and good behavior toward our fellow beings. Humanity is expected to nurture each other with kindness and dignity. Similarly, we should extend kindness to our unspeaking fellow living beings: whether it be the trees, plants, or birds. Make no mistake; a tree is a living being. We don’t have the license to carry out brutal acts on the plants just because they cannot speak. They have as much right to live on Planet Earth as we do. That is why I have never understood the aspect of compensation. We are not focused on restoring tree cover, but rather on nurturing the environment”, says Devendra, poignantly articulating his life’s mission and purpose.

While his dream of turning the state green has not been fulfilled yet, Devendra remains undeterred and motivated as ever, reflected by his vision of a Van Khestra in every village in the country “ I don’t have targets and goals. This is my life’s purpose. The movement will continue even beyond me. However, before my last breath, if my initiative inspires villagers in the country to adopt the practice of planting a Van Kshetra in their village, I will die a happy man”, says Devendra with tears in his eyes, gazing away into the distance.

Phone Numbers Are Being Tracked, Alleges Wrestler Bajrang Punia

The Delhi Police has filed two FIRs, including one under section 10 of POCSO act against the BJP MP Brij Bhushan, who has denied all the charges.

New Delhi: 1 Calling it a “black day”, the protesting grapplers and their supporters on Thursday wore black bands with Bajrang Punia, one of the prominent faces of the sit-in, alleging that their phone numbers are being tracked.

The protest against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexual harassment and intimidation by the grapplers, entered the 18th day.

Top Indian grapplers Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang, Sakshi Malik, Satyawart Kaidyan and Jitender Kinha all tied black bands on their forehead while a few supporters sported them on their arms as a mark of protest against what they see as a lack of action against Brij Bhushan.

The wrestlers have been demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan, who they have accused of sexual exploitation of several women grapplers including a minor.

The Delhi Police has filed two FIRs, including one under section 10 of POCSO act against the BJP MP, who has denied all the charges.

“We are observing a black day today in protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. We are confident of our victory as the entire nation is with us in our fight,” Bajrang Punia said.

“Day by day our protest is gaining momentum and we will continue to fight till we get justice.

“Nowadays our phone numbers are being tracked, we are being treated in a manner where it seems as if we have committed a crime. Whoever is in our contact is being tracked, I am telling you,” Mr Punia told reporters.

The World Championship and Olympic medallist was critical of athlete Seema Antil, who said their protest has had a negative impact on the sport with camps and trails not taking place.

“I don’t understand that she is saying that we are causing damage to the sport rather than Brij Bhushan. It’s very strange that she doesn’t understand this despite being a sportsperson.

“I don’t think she should have said what she said. We respect her she is a good athlete but she should think before coming out with a statement,” Mr Punia said.

A large delegation of Bharat Kishan Union Ekta (Azad), mostly comprising women from Punjab arrived at the Jantar Mantar on Thursday to show their solidarity towards the protesting wrestlers.

Speaking of the possibility of financial bungling, he asked the WFI, “Which money have you spent, where has Tata’s money gone. The Tatas have been giving you money for the last five years, where is that money? “We have also requested Ratan Tata ji to find this out, whether his money is reaching the right place,” the ace wrestler added.

On the brighter side, Bajrang welcomed the move to hold the women’s camp in Patiala.

“We welcome the shifting of the women’s camp to Patiala. Wherever athletes have access to all the facilities set up camp there rather than having it in a place where they are being exploited and mistreated.” Besides members of Mazdood Adhikar Sangathan, Sonipat and a small delegation of youth students from Bhagat Singh Youth Union, Maharashtra also came in support of the wrestlers on Thursday.

Wrestler Bajrang Punia continued, “See nothing is bigger than the judiciary. We have full faith in the court, our fight is for the truth. I don’t think India has seen something like this in the past.

“We get strength when we see the support we are getting from all corners from of the country.

“This was the time to prepare for the Asian Games and Olympics, so it’s very sad and unfortunate. It’s a huge loss for sports that we have been protesting for the past 19 days.”

Then from Dubai, he went to Almaty, Kazakhstan, and reached Turkey. He then headed for Spain. After taking multiple routes, he finally reached Mexico," Dhaliwal said.

"Our teams were constantly tracking his routes," he said at a press conference held on Tuesday.

He said Delhi Police zeroed in on the gangster's location in Cancun, a city notorious for human traffickers and the narcotics mafia, after interrogating several of his aides and using technical inputs.

"His intention behind reaching Mexico was to reach America, with the help of human traffickers, where he would join his other associates. From there, he had planned to run his organised crime group in Delhi and neighbouring states," Dhaliwal added.

His arrest is a result of coordinated efforts by the crime branch and special cell, police said.

The gangster is wanted in India in 10 sensational cases, including murder and extortion, over the last five years, they said.

Deepak, a resident of Gannaur in Haryana's Sonipat district, headed the Gogi gang after the killing of its head Jitendra Mann alias Gogi inside the Rohini court complex by two men in September 2021.
