    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Varanasi district collector to hold a meeting for providing “congenial” working arrangements for ‘wuzu‘ (ritual ablution) for Muslim devotees at the Gyanvapi mosque complex.

    A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala was apprised by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government, that the meeting would be held on Tuesday and the decision will be implemented for providing facilities for wuzu‘ on the premises.

    The court was hearing a plea by the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid committee seeking permission for ‘wuzu‘ at the mosque complex in Varanasi during the month of Ramzan.

    The top court referred to its order of May 20 last year where it had directed that facilities for wuzu’ and washrooms be provided to devotees following the sealing of certain areas inside the premises.

    “The solicitor general assures the court that a meeting shall be convened tomorrow by the district collector so that a congenial working arrangement is provided,” the bench noted in the order.

    The bench also recorded the statement of the mosque management committee that it will be satisfied if even mobile toilets are provided.

    The court has now posted the matter for further hearing on Friday and directed that the solution if found in the meeting, can be implemented in the meanwhile and a formal order may be passed on the next date of hearing.

    The apex court had on November 11 last year extended till further orders the protection of the area where a ‘Shivling’ was claimed to have been found.

    Senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi, appearing for the Masjid committee, requested the bench to take up the matter for hearing soon, saying the month of Ramzan is underway and adequate arrangements should be made.

    He had said the water for ‘wuzu‘ is being used from a drum and the number of worshippers has increased in view of Ramzan.

    The incident occurred on Saturday night but came to light on Tuesday. In another incident at the same place, a man and the collector’s pet dog were injured in an attack by a stray dog.

    A boy was also injured in another incident of dog bite near the collectorate.

    The incidents highlight the growing menace of stray dogs in Siddipet and many other towns in Telangana.

    Several incidents of dog bite have been reported from various parts of the state in recent days. After a four-year-old boy was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs in Hyderabad in February, the municipal administration department had announced a series of measures to check the menace but the incidents of dog bites continue to be reported from several districts.

  • Telangana man writes to Collector over lack of Kingfisher beer in shops

    Telangana man writes to Collector over lack of Kingfisher beer in shops

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: With great sense of purpose, a Jagtial resident wrote to his district collector highlighting the lack of Kingfisher in the district. Not quite the bird, but the brand of beer.

    Beeram Rajesh wrote a letter to the Jagtial District Collector on Monday highlighting the lack of ‘KF’ beers in wine shops.

    “In the process of obtaining permissions they state that all kinds of liquor will be made available through their wine shop. However, after receiving the permissions, wine shops owners are selling only low quality beers,” said Rajesh in the letter.

    He explained his concern for other alcoholic’s health, who are seemingly being forced to drink low quality alcohol as the wine shops don’t have ‘KF’ beer available and the income that the state government is losing out.

    He also reasoned that many accidents take place when people, desperate to have the alcohol of their choice, are forced to travel to far away places to buy it.

    He said the alcoholics who have no other option but to drink the low quality beer being offered in the wine shops face a risk of ‘Uric Acid’.

    “Since the wine shops only have low quality alcohol available, people who consume alcohol are having to travel 20 to 30 kilometers to get alcohol. In this process, many accidents are taking place,” said Rajesh in the letter.

    He alleged that belt shops have the KF brand beer available but it is priced very high at 200 to 300 rupees. He explained that the only way to get the alcohol of his choice is to buy the overly priced beer from the belt shops or travel to places far away.

    He also expressed his concerns over the genuineness of the KF beers being sold at the belt shops.

    “How are the belt shops getting ahold of KF beers that elude the wine shops and bars? Are they selling real beer or is it artificially manufactured?”

    “When it is the government that gives permission to the wine shops, what rights do the wine shop owners have to sell only the alcohol of their choice?” he said.

    He questioned the alleged silence of government officials who are standing by and watching the government’s income take a hit.

    “When the officials who are stringent about the fact that only people with Government’s permissions should sell alcohol, why are they mum when the state government’s income is taking a hit?” asked an evidently upset Rajesh.

    He said that the officials in the collector’s office responded positively to his complaint.
