मेहनत करने वाले विद्यार्थियों को उनका हक मिलना चाहिए, न कि पेपर लीक जैसी समस्याओं का सामना करना पड़े।
शिक्षा व्यवस्था में पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही ही युवाओं का विश्वास बनाए रख सकती है।
#IStandWithSonamWangchuk
NEET पेपर लीक जैसी घटनाएँ मेहनती छात्रों के भविष्य पर सवाल खड़े करती हैं।
युवाओं को ऐसी परीक्षा व्यवस्था चाहिए जहाँ केवल योग्यता की जीत हो।
पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही ही विश्वास की नींव है।
#IStandWithSonamWangchuk
लाखों छात्र वर्षों तक मेहनत करते हैं।
पेपर लीक उनकी मेहनत और उम्मीदों के साथ अन्याय है।
शिक्षा व्यवस्था में सुधार अब टाला नहीं जा सकता।

जब मेहनत से हासिल की जाने वाली सफलता पर पेपर लीक का साया पड़ जाए, तो लाखों छात्रों का मनोबल टूटता है।
योग्यता का सम्मान और पारदर्शी परीक्षा व्यवस्था समय की मांग है।
#IStandWithSonamWangchuk
अगर आज तुम चुप रहे,
तो आने वाली पीढ़ियों तुमसे पूछेंगी,
आप क्यों नहीं गए थे समर्थन करने,
जब युवाओं के हक के लिए जंतर मंतर पर लोग,
भूखे प्यासे तानाशाह के खिलाफ लड़ाई लड़ रहे थे!
इसलिए आप सभी लोग जंतर मंतर पर जरूर आए और अपना समर्थन दें।
#जंतरमंतर 📍
लोकतंत्र में शांतिपूर्ण और अहिंसक तरीके से अपनी बात रखना एक महत्वपूर्ण अधिकार है। शिक्षा से जुड़े मुद्दों पर संवाद और संवेदनशीलता ही आगे का रास्ता है। #IStandWithSonamWangchuk
On the sacred occasion of Guru Purnima… 🙏 @TheHitavada1911
If every newsroom has a conscience, ours has always been Shri Vijay Phanshikar Sir- our Group Editor and guiding father figure. In silence and in storm, he ensured The Hitavada stood for something far greater than news-it stood for integrity. Under his gaze, journalism wasn’t a profession. It was a calling.
And in that calling, I found my first Guru-Shri Rahul Dixit Sir @rdxten -who, since early 1997, held my hand like an elder brother. Sometimes with sternness, sometimes with boundless love. He forgave my errors, refined my flaws, and taught me that every sentence carries a responsibility.
When fear trembled within, his love steadied my voice; his courage held my tears.
Today, I bow not just in reverence, but in lifelong gratitude-to the two men who made me who I am, and who continue to shape who I strive to be. Gurus who gave me not just lessons, but a legacy.
What I am is because of them. My pen carries their fire. In every line I write, you live. 🙏
Happy Guru Purnima, Sirs.
-Mukesh

CHHATTISGARH POLICE’S LAW AND ORDER IN A DEATH SPIRAL
“अपराधी तो छोड़ो, पुलिस डिपार्टमेंट अगर चाहे और सरकार इजाजत दे तो शहर में कोई छोटे बच्चे का खिलौना भी नहीं छीन सकता।”
(Forget the criminals-if the police department truly wants and the government allows, not even a child’s toy could be snatched in this city.)
Just two days ago, I found myself on a long and striking phone call with an IPS officer - one recently transferred to a high-crime district bordering Raipur, as part of the senior IPS reshuffle carried out on April 21.
His tone was firm, his words surgical. Without the usual bureaucratic vagueness, he laid it bare:
“अगर सरकार अपने पॉलिटिकल विल पावर को एक्सरसाइज़ करे तो एक 24 घंटे में छत्तीसगढ़ का लॉ एंड ऑर्डर और क्रिमिनल्स का इलाज हो जाएगा। बशर्ते सरकार बिना दबाव या दखल के अपने पुलिस डिपार्टमेंट के अधिकारियों को इसकी छूट दे।”
(If the government chooses to exercise its political will, law and order and criminal infestation in Chhattisgarh can be cured within 24 hours -provided it gives a free hand to its police officers without interference or pressure.)
This wasn’t some rhetoric from a rookie. This IPS officer is widely known for his clinical crackdowns, incorruptible posture, and a fearsome reputation that keeps even his own subordinates stiff-spined in his presence. His remarks were grounded not in theory but in observation - a state capital where gangsters assault contractors with knives in railway stations, where a woman complainant is publicly humiliated inside a police station, where muscle-backed loan sharks operate with impunity, and where sand mafia deals are allegedly blessed by uniforms themselves.
His voice reminded me of another. Not a bureaucrat, not a politician - but the silver screen’s sharpest truth-teller. This wasn’t just a dramatic flourish from Khakee, the 2004 Bollywood thriller. It was Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic distillation of the power and responsibility embedded within the khaki uniform.
His words echo what every citizen in Chhattisgarh is asking today - if the police truly want, and the government truly allows, why is the state still bleeding?

🔴 Mutton, mobs, and mutual protection in Mominpara
For over a year, illegal cow slaughter was reported from Raipur’s Mominpara. Complaints were filed. Nothing moved. Eventually, local activists uncovered weighing scales stained with blood, supply ledgers dating back to early 2024, and even a Bangladeshi national allegedly involved. The site was not just a butchery unit-it was a covert supply chain masked within a residential zone.
Still, it took weeks for any formal police action. Why?
Because in Chhattisgarh today, policing isn’t driven by law-it’s driven by political clearance. And clearance, in such cases, is a well-traded commodity.
But Mominpara is only a pin on a map.
Illegal cow slaughter has become a rampant, organised racket across Chhattisgarh, particularly in its major cities like Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, and Korba. What was once confined to the shadows has now moved into the marble-floored kitchens of white-collar criminals- men and syndicates operating with quiet impunity from plush neighbourhoods, behind tinted glass doors and under full knowledge of local enforcement.
These aren’t fringe offenders. They are networked profiteers- shielded by silence, boosted by influence, and fed by demand. They don’t hide in ghettos- they dine in gated societies.
Their brazenness is underlined by the Congress Party’s public accusation. State party president Deepak Baij has gone on record stating that “Since the BJP came to power, over 5,000 cows are trafficked every month. In one year, more than 60,000 cattle have been pushed into slaughterhouses. Vehicles carrying beef, bones, and hides are caught routinely across districts.”
These are not minor figures-they’re indicators of a systemic failure. If this is the scale of the racket, and this is the frequency of seizures, the question is no longer whether the police are aware. It is: how deep is their connivance?
The uncomfortable truth is this: when crimes continue at this magnitude and for this long, someone in uniform is either blind, bought, or both.
🔴 In Rajnandgaon, bullets fly where sand flows
June 11. Mohad village. Villagers resist the mafia building a ramp for illegal sand loading. They’re met with gunfire.
One bullet narrowly misses a young man’s neck. Three people are injured. A JCB and a Highva truck are seized. Their owner - Abhinav Tiwari - is arrested, and an audio recording goes viral. In it, the local SHO is heard negotiating the release of the machinery “on behalf of seniors.”
The SHO is suspended. But this wasn’t an isolated act. It was part of a pattern - where illegal mining syndicates not only operate freely, but often with direct police assistance. When guns speak before laws, what kind of republic are we nurturing?
⚫ Beacon birthday and the vehicle of arrogance
In Ambikapur, a blue-beacon-fitted official vehicle turned into a mobile party zone. A video went viral showing the wife of a DSP posted in Balrampur’s Ramanujganj Battalion celebrating her birthday inside the government vehicle.
She wasn’t alone. Other young women were seen flouting every norm of road safety - some hanging out of windows, others filming videos inside the moving car, while the beacon flashed above them.
The vehicle reportedly belongs to a senior officer in the police force. And yet, the question that looms large is - will there be action? Or is the beacon a shield of immunity for power’s peripheries?
This wasn’t just misuse of state resources. It was symbolic - of how law enforcement, in Chhattisgarh, is now as much about personal privilege as it is about public duty. The red light may be gone from VIP cars, but the blue one now flickers over a different kind of entitlement.
