By Times of India – Miners develop makeshift passages over Yamuna river, obstruct its natural flow Makeshift bridges made on Yamuna river, obstructing its natural flow.YAMUNANAGAR: After the mining activity resumed in the Gumthala-Jathlana area of Yamunanagar district, the miners against the norms started to develop makeshift passages over Yamuna river, obstructing its natural flow. The matter came to light on April 25, when the area executive engineer Sher Singh of Haryana Irrigation And Water Resources Department (IWRD) inspected the spot in Gumthala village and instructed the area irrigation sub-divisional officer (SDO) Jasbir Singh, to write to the Yamunanagar police to register a case. Following this, SDO Jasbir Singh wrote to the Yamunanagar police at Jathlana police station to register a case in this regard. Then on Monday, the matter reached Radaur sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Pooja Chanwaria, who constituted a committee of district mining officer (DMO), area naib tehsildar, Jathlana police station house officer (SHO), Jathlana irrigation SDO to investigate into this matter and file a report by Tuesday. On Tuesday, the committee visited the spot in Yamuna river and inspected the makeshift passages obstructing Yamuna’s natural flow but it could not submit its report on the same day. Radaur SDM Pooja said, “I had asked the committee to submit a report on Tuesday itself, but I waited for the same up to Wednesday evening but did not receive it. However, the irrigation department SDO has already written to the police to register a case in this regard and I have also instructed the committee to take strict action.” Similar efforts were made last year by the mining mafia in several areas of Haryana besides Yamunanagar district. In May 2019, the Delhi Government and Delhi High Court took strict cognizance of obstruction into Yamuna’s natural flow and asked special teams to visit Yamunanagar and file a report in this matter. After that, the Haryana IWRD had damaged the makeshift passages and also got registered some cases against mining mafia, but now the mafia has built the passages again during the lockdown. Haryana anti-corruption society president advocate Varyam Singh wrote a letter to the state government expressing deep concern on suchactivity into the Yamuna river. In his letter, Varyam demanded an immediate ban on the activity of mining, he said, “The people associated with mining have affected the Yamuna’s stream by constructing makeshift passages which can prove to be very harmful.” Executive engineer Sher Singh of the IRWD said, “A case would be filed in this regard on behalf of the department’s SDO Jasvir Singh. Immediately after receiving the information about diversion in Yamuna stream, the spot was visited and orders were given to register the case.” Yamunanagar district mining officer Ashok said, “The mining for sand started in Gumthala area of Yamunanagar from April 24 after the approval, and the lease of mining is allotted to Elite Mines Corporation firm. A report will be submitted to SDM Radaur in this matter.” DownloadThe Times of India News App for Latest City NewsSubscribeStart Your Daily Mornings with Times of India Newspaper! Order Now

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
