हरदोई की किसान बेटी बनी यूपी पुलिस सब-इंस्पेक्टर, संघर्ष और मेहनत की मिसाल

In a major robbery incident, employees of a Rajkot-based jewellery firm were looted of gold worth approximately ₹25 crore in Bihar’s Patna, raising serious concerns over the safety of high-value consignments. The incident took place near Danapur railway station when two employees of the firm, identified as Mahesh Mamtora and Prince Ranpariya, arrived in the city carrying a large consignment of gold jewellery. They were reportedly intercepted by a group of around eight men who posed as customs officials. Under the pretext of checking documents and invoices, the accused allegedly forced the employees into a vehicle and abducted them. The victims were then taken to a secluded location, where the gang threatened them and looted nearly 17 kilograms of gold jewellery before abandoning them and fleeing the scene. Following the robbery, the victims informed their employer, after which a complaint was lodged with the police. Authorities have since launched an investigation and formed a special team to probe the case. Initial findings suggest that the robbery may have been pre-planned, with the perpetrators possibly having prior information about the movement of the consignment. The incident has sent shockwaves through the trading community, particularly among jewellers dealing with interstate transport of valuable goods. Police are currently examining CCTV footage and tracking leads to identify and apprehend the accused. © Images used for illustrative purposes only. Copyrights belong to their respective owners.

In a major push toward urban greening and sustainable infrastructure, the Bihar government has announced an extensive tree plantation drive along Patna’s Marine Drive and key highways, aiming to develop large-scale green corridors across the state. The initiative will focus on planting thousands of trees along the Patna Marine Drive and major road stretches, enhancing both environmental sustainability and urban aesthetics. Authorities plan to integrate green belts with existing infrastructure to reduce pollution and improve air quality in the state capital. As part of the broader vision, a green corridor is also being developed along the Patna–Gaya–Dobhi route, where over 21,000 fruit-bearing trees such as mango, jamun and amla will be planted. These plantations are expected not only to increase green cover but also provide economic benefits to local communities through fruit production and allied activities. Officials said the project combines environmental conservation with livelihood generation, encouraging farmer participation and community-based maintenance models. The move is part of Bihar’s larger strategy to combat rising pollution levels, improve urban living conditions and promote eco-tourism. Experts believe such green corridors can significantly reduce heat impact in cities while strengthening ecological balance. If implemented effectively, the project could transform Patna into a more climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable urban centre, setting an example for other cities. © Images used for illustrative purposes only.
