New revelation in crypto currency fraud case, accused prepared software in Punjab

Oct 13, 2023

Shimla: Every day new revelations are being made in the case of fraud in the name of crypto currency. The accused have prepared the software while sitting in Punjab. This has come to light during the interrogation of the accused and the exchange of information with Punjab Police.

The police will also arrest the engineers who have prepared this software. In such a situation, the police SIT has also intensified the investigation.

Teams are continuously raiding outside states to arrest the accused, while interrogation of the suspects is going on in Himachal Pradesh also.

SIT has received information that Subhash of Himachal, the main accused of fraud in the name of crypto currency, has six properties in Punjab. Apart from this, the accused have also purchased property in the name of relatives.

Now Himachal Police is busy in searching the property and bank accounts of the relatives apart from the property of the accused. SIT is demanding the accounts of the accused from the banks.

Fake sites have also been created regarding crypto currency. Due to this also the accused have committed a scam worth crores of rupees.

Police SIT is seriously investigating every aspect related to the case. There are thousands of people investing in crypto currency. Now the complainants are pleading for justice from the police.

It is noteworthy that till now more than 70 people have lodged complaints in the police station in this matter.

There are many people who are not coming forward to complain. The complainants are being asked on whose instructions the investment was made in crypto currency. Based on this, further investigation is going on.

Half a century of fraud complaints in Mandi Cyber Police Station

At the same time, the number of complaints of fraud in the name of cryptocurrency has reached 50 in Mandi Cyber Police Station. Complainants are reaching Mandi with new complaints every day.

Along with narrating their plight, the complainants are demanding strict action against the accused. Complainants say that this entire game was based on trust. The crooks used to take cash by expressing trust. If anyone had any objection, they would immediately return the cash.

This gives confidence in other people. They also lured people to travel abroad by investing ten thousand dollars. Many complainants have never even met Hemraj, Sukhdev and Subhash, the main accused in this entire game.

Whereas the people who made investments in the initial phase were in direct contact with them. Now the complainants are filing complaints against those who were given cash. He was mostly in the role of team leader.

In such a situation, legal action can be taken against them also. In most of the cases, facts are coming to light that 99 percent of the amount is paid in cash only. However, details of online transactions are also being collected from the complainants.

Dispute over 10 meter land ended, now four-lane will be built at Scissor turn

Oct 13, 2023

Shimla: NHAI has got great success in the Kiratpur-Manali National Highway. The dispute regarding the meter portion has ended here.

Ropeway and Rapid Transport System Development Corporation (RTDC) has agreed to give the land and after this, the chances of full restoration of the four-lane damaged by rains have increased.

The entire National Highway has caved in at Kainchi Mod between Mandi and Kullu. Here at the bottom is the BBMB dam, followed by the National Highway and above it is the RTDC land.

The National Highway once again passes over this land. Due to RTDC’s ropeway station building being situated in the middle of this scissor of the National Highway, it was becoming difficult to restore the NH here.

In this regard, NHAI had first held a meeting with the district administration and then with RTDC and recently, NHAI Regional Officer Abdul Basit reached the spot along with RTDC officials and took stock of the situation.

After this, he agreed to hand over this piece of land to NHAI. Now NHAI is completing the construction of four lane without any hindrance, but still the biggest problem here is rioting.

The height of the road above the dam at Scissor Mode, where the road has collapsed, is about 30 meters. It may take about a month for NHAI to install this bridge. In such a situation, the chances of restoration of this part of four lane before Kullu Dussehra are also less.

NHAI will give two crore rupees

To ensure that the International Kullu Dussehra is not affected by scissor turn, NHAI has approved a budget of Rs 2 crore to PWD. PWD will use this budget to restore the old road reaching Kullu.

NHAI has also earmarked an additional amount of Rs 1 crore for the department if needed. This amount can be used in future.

Batchwise recruitment of TGT starts for 1400 posts

Oct 10, 2023

JBT-Shastri Cabinet discusses batchwise recruitment

After getting permission from the Himachal Government, the Elementary Education Department has started batchwise recruitment in Trained Graduate Teacher i.e.

TGT cadre in Himachal. Director of Elementary Education Ghanshyam Chand has issued the recruitment notice and asked to start this process immediately. A total of 1400 posts will be filled in the TGT cadre from the batch itself.

In this, 420 posts have been given in TGT Arts, 306 in Non-Medical and 172 in Medical. Apart from this, 353 teachers will be recruited in the ex-serviceman quota, 90 for the disabled and 68 teachers will be recruited in the sports quota.

These posts have been sent to Ex-Servicemen Corporation, Social Justice and Empowerment Department and Sports Department. These posts will be sponsored from these three departments. The recruitment rules of TGT have also been changed in the recruitment notice.

In 2019, NCTE had made arrangements to take post graduation marks in case of less marks in graduation for the recruitment of TGT. This option has been implemented for the first time in Himachal.

That is, if general category candidates do not have 50 percent marks in graduation, then 50 percent marks in post graduation can be taken for Bharti. In Himachal, reserved categories already have five percent relaxation in eligibility marks.

Now the Elementary Education Department itself will conduct counseling for the recruitment of TGT and in batchwise recruitment, the appointment will be on contract basis for two years at a salary of Rs 22,860 per month.

On the other hand, after TGT, the Elementary Education Department is also going to advertise the posts of JBT and Shastri for batchwise recruitment. Actually, the counseling module is being changed in the recruitment process of JBT, so that time can be saved.

B.Ed is now being removed forever from JBT recruitment. This is happening after the decision from the Supreme Court, while the recruitment rules for the recruitment of Shastri will also be changed.

The government has given Shastri the status of TGT Sanskrit in Himachal, hence graduation and B.Ed can be considered in the recruitment rules.

The years of the current batch are also mentioned in the recruitment notice issued by the Elementary Education Department.

In TGT Arts, the batch of September 2001 is running for General category, while in TGT Non Medical, the batch of 1999 is running, in TGT Medical the same batch is of 2002.

If we talk about the nearest batch, TGT is the batch of 2018 in non medical ST category. That means TGT non-medical general category candidates are going to get job after 24 years of doing B.Ed.
