Dilapidated Schools Face Auction in Gonda
In a significant move for student safety, the local administration in Gonda district, Uttar Pradesh, will commence the process of demolishing and auctioning 27 dilapidated government school buildings categorized as dangerous in the Rupaideeh block. The auction will begin on October 5th.
The Block Education Officer, Shashank Kumar Singh, stated that these severely damaged structures have been marked for demolition. The auction proceedings will take place at the Block Resource Center. Interested parties are advised to conduct on-site inspections of the buildings before participating to gain a thorough understanding of their condition.
Demand for Development at Maa Mansa Devi Temple
Meanwhile, a demand for the renovation of the ancient Shri Siddha Peeth Maa Mansa Devi Temple complex in Bargaon, Gonda district, has gained momentum. A delegation led by temple committee president Vijay Yadav met with the Union Minister of State for External Affairs, submitting a request letter.
The committee is seeking financial assistance from the central government for the construction of a 40x60 feet multipurpose hall and an open gym within the temple premises. They highlighted the lack of adequate space for resting and other facilities for the large crowds of devotees during Navratri and other significant religious events. Local residents, including Sunil Shukla, Sanjay Singh, and Pradeep Vishwakarma, have also voiced their support for this development project, deeming it essential for public benefit.
Arrest for Illegal Weapon Possession
In a crackdown on law and order, the Motiganj police have made a significant arrest. During a routine checking of suspicious individuals and vehicles on October 3rd near Dalpatpur Mor, police apprehended a man identified as Alok Singh.
A search of Alok Singh yielded a 315 bore illegal country-made pistol and a live cartridge. The police have registered a case against the accused under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and remanded him to judicial custody. The police administration has reiterated its commitment to continuing intensified checking campaigns against crime and criminals to maintain peace and order in the district.
