Man arrested for killing brother over minor dispute
HOSHIARPUR: The Mehtiana police have arrested one Tarlok Singh, 61, for ‘killing’ his mentally challenged brother Tarlok Singh over a fight over cutting of bushes in front of his house in Manhanna village here on Wednesday. Lakhvir and his brother Tarlok were not on talking terms. They fought over clearing of bushes in front of Tarlok's house. In a fit of rage, Lakhvir threw a shovel at his brother and the latter also hurled the implement at Lakhvir, which hit him on the head and died. A case under Section 302 was registered. LUCKNOW: Cinema halls in Uttar Pradesh will soon display the newly-unveiled logo for Kumbh Mela, right after the national anthem is played, to make youths understand the importance of the religious festival, a senior official said here on Wednesday.
The new logo shows a group of sadhus taking a holy dip at the Sangam in Allahabad in the backdrop of temples and a Swastik symbol, principal secretary (tourism) Awanish Awasthi said.
The decision comes soon after the Yogi Adityanath government announced that all official letters will carry the Kumbh logo.
The Yogi government has already decided to showcase the 2019 Kumbh case in a grand scale. A special meeting of the UP cabinet has been planned in Allahabad exclusively to discuss issues related to Kumbh in Allahabad from where several of chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s ministerial colleagues hail from.
UP’S deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya is from Allahabad, so is state’s health minister Siddharth Nath Singh and so is cabinet minister Nand Gopal Nandi whose wife Abhilasha Gupta is also the mayor of Allahabad.
The Kumbh Mela, which has lately joined the UNESCO’S list of intangible world heritage, is scheduled to be held in January 2019 in Allahabad.
On the new year day, Adityanath directed departments concerned to complete preparations for the 2019 Kumbh Mela in Allahabad “well in time” for its smooth conduct.
“All preparations should be completed well in time and in a concrete manner, so that the event is held successfully. The Magh Mela and Kumbh Mela 2019 are important from religious and tourism point of view,” a government statement quoted him as saying.
The CM recently interacted with seers of the Akhada Parishad and the Allahabad administration while reviewing preparations for Magh Mela and Kumbh Mela.
The government has also directed the local administration to display the logo with its tagline ‘Sarvsidhiprad Kumbh’, meaning Kumbh is the provider of all accomplishments.
In a circular last month, the government had made it compulsory to carry the logo in all publicity material, including hoardings and advertisements, with immediate effect.
The Mela was last held in Allahabad in 2013 and attended by around 10 crore people. The state government expects nearly 12 crore people to visit Allahabad this time.
