First Kuki village in Churachandpur resettled 3 years after conflict began

Published by Parlour News

Guwahati The first Kuki village in Manipur’s Churachandpur district was resettled on Thursday (May 28, 2026) after three years, but only the males have returned from a relief camp, while their families continue to live there. Khodang, a village near the “buffer zone”, is close to where the Churachandpur district meets the Imphal Valley’s Bishnupur and Kakching districts. A strip of land of varying width separating the Meitei-majority valley from the surrounding Kuki-dominated hills is referred to as the buffer zone. Some 200 people of Khodang had fled deeper inside the Churachandpur district after the ethnic conflict between the Kuki-Zo and Meitei people broke out on May 3, 2023. The district administration helped in the resettlement process. Local MLA Paolienlal Haokip cut a ribbon to inaugurate the village for habitation. M. Sonsei Haokip, the Khodang village secretary, said the villagers fled and took refuge in a relief camp in Churachandpur, the district headquarters, when a mob set most of the houses ablaze. “We have 45 families here. We rebuilt our houses with ₹1.7 lakh, which …

4 min readChandigarhMay 23, 2026 11:40 PM IST With his fellow teammates and players becoming DSPs while also representing India during their careers, Kamaljit Singh, a constable with the Punjab Police, had only one dream — to make his youngest son a sprinter. After Singh Sr suffered a career-ending wrist injury, the Punjab Police employee began taking a young Gurindervir to the ground in Patial village near Jalandhar before enrolling him under coach and former CRPF athlete Swaran Singh in the nearby village of Dalla. As his 25-year-old son created a new national record, with a timing of 10.09 seconds in the 100m race at the Federation Cup to become India’s fastest man, Kamaljit and his wife visited the gurdwara in their village. “When I first took Gurindervir to the ground, he was very quick during the laps, and that is when I took him to coach Swaran Singh. Around that time, I would also tell him about Usain Bolt winning his first Olympic gold in 2008, and Gurindervir would say, I will also run …

Chhattisgarh: The gruelling 5-hour trek to bring a school to a remote village deep inside former Maoist HQ | India News

Published by Parlour News

One February morning, a group of government officials, accompanied by several local residents, set out on a gruelling five-hour trek, navigating narrow paths through hilly terrain and crossing streams without a bridge or a boat. Their destination was a remote village in Chhattisgarh’s Abujhmad — a region that had been under Maoist control for years and acted as the de facto headquarters for the banned Maoist party’s leadership. The officials, Block Education Officer, Block Resource Coordinator and Cluster Coordinator, were being taken by the village sarpanch and some residents to Karkebeda village, under Ghamandi Gram Panchayat, to set up a school there. The village, 70 km from Narayanpur district headquarters, does not have road connectivity, doesn’t appear on Google Maps, and until February, was not linked to the state’s education system. The officials set up a primary school in a temporary shed equipped with a blackboard, and gave 20 children textbooks, slates and pencils. A local teacher, Runita Pawe, was appointed to run the school. Three months later, the government has now sanctioned the construction …

How a misspelled Bihar village and a fake ‘2027 Census’ ended a Delhi man’s 40-year run from the law

How a misspelled Bihar village and a fake ‘2027 Census’ ended a Delhi man’s 40-year run from the law

Published by Parlour News

A suspect, a misspelled name of a village in Bihar’s Nalanda district: This was all a Delhi Police Crime Branch team had when they reopened a 40-year-old murder case in late March and pulled out a copy of the FIR from the records. From its damaged pages, they managed to piece together the events of October 19, 1986. The man they were looking for, Chander Shekhar Prasad, was 44 years old then. He was a cardboard businessman. Before entering the business, he’d worked as a compositor at a prominent English newspaper in Delhi. Prasad lived with his family — his wife, two sons aged 10 and 8, and a three-year-old daughter — in East Delhi’s Shakarpur School Block. Police said he’d also employed a 24*7 helper, Luv Kumar, paying him Rs 350 a month, a substantial amount at the time. On that evening of October 19, Prasad, along with two aides, allegedly smashed his wife’s head and face with a brick — he suspected she was having an affair. His three children lay sleeping in …

Allahabad HC dismisses plea for offering namaz on piece of village land in Sambhal

Allahabad HC dismisses plea for offering namaz on piece of village land in Sambhal

Published by Parlour News

The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a petition seeking a direction to authorities to provide security and permission to offer namaz on a piece of land in a village of Sambhal district, saying right to practice religion is subject to public order and cannot be exercised in a manner that interferes with the rights of others. The court also said that the State is constitutionally entitled and in appropriate cases duty-bound to prevent the use of public land without lawful authority. The court observed that introduction or expansion of a religious use or practice not previously prevalent, particularly where it disturbs the existing social balance, is not protected under Articles 25 and 26. A bench of justices Saral Srivastava and Garima Prasad observed that the State is not required to wait for an actual disruption and may take reasonable preventive measures where such activity is likely to affect public life.
