  NEWS BULLETIN—05 ||| 25 th BAISHAKH-1433 হে নূতন , দেখা দিক আর-বার জন্মের প্রথম শুভক্ষণ ॥ তোমার প্রকাশ হোক কুহেলিকা করি উদঘাটন সূর্যের মতন। Today is the birthday of ‘Kabi Guru’ Rabindranath Tagore, the first international man from BRITISH INDIA.   And ‘KABI PAKSHA’—the fortnight assigned to this Great Poet starts from today, and will be celebrated in whole of   West Bengal, as well as some part in Bangladesh. He earned ‘Nobel’ Prize in literature as first Asian.   He was a socially conscious person. He was the first Indian who established a ‘Bank’ for Farmers. He experimented with an education process, which adopted ancient ‘GURUKUL’ system, yet taught modern subjects. The outcome was “Shantiniketan” at Bolpur. We all are indebted to him. I salute him on his birthday. ============================================================ Today, Mr. Shuvendu Adhikari will take oath as Chief Minister at Brigade Parade Ground, Kolkata, on behalf of  ...

FLIGHT-810: 22 January1993

 

A HIJACK NOT WELLKNOWN

FLIGHT-810: 22 January1993

ATALJI’S EXEMPLARYCOURAGE

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

 

1.      1993 January 22: Indian Airlines Flight No. 810 en route from Lucknow Airport to the Delhi-Indira Gandhi International Airport got hijacked.

2.      After some initial negotiations, the Hijacker agreed for landing the plane temporarily at Lucknow airport.

3.      IC-810 landed at Lucknow Airport, with Hijacker in, and in control.

4.      He was carrying a country made ‘CRUDE GRANADE’, which can explode any time whether he wanted, or not. To tell you the truth, , many times I fabricated those staff, during my college days, and know how unsafe it is.

5.      The Hijacker was a self-styled  ‘Hindu Activist’. He demanded release of all ‘Kar Sevaks’ arrested after demolition of ‘Babri’ Mosque.

6.      He said that he knows Atalji is in Lucknow—he wanted to talk to him—PRONTO. Otherwise the Grenade will go ‘KAPOOT’!

7.      Atalji, and Lalji Tandon was having dinner in a Guest house, and was to take a Train to Delhi later. He was then sitting MP from Lucknow.

8.      DM and the adviser to the governor barged in,  briefed Atalji about the situation, confirming that the Aircraft has about 120-odd passengers, may be, all of whose lives were at risqué..

9.      Tandonji advised caution—but Atalji left dinner, and  set forth for the Control tower immediately—and tried to talk to the HIJACKER from there.

10.  The Hijacker told that he can’t recognize his voice—and demanded Atalji to come to the Plane.

11.  Finally Atalji had to go inside the aircraft and meet him. While he engaged the Hijacker in discussion—plain cloth police could overpower, and arrest him.

12.  The hijacker later identified as Satish Chandra Pandey, and convicted for four year imprisonment.

13.  Later it was found out that the Grenade was also‘FAKE’!

14.  Then Atalji went around, meeting every passenger. One of them was Congress's Sitaram Kesari, who told Atalji that when the hijacker demanded to see Atalji, he knew everyone would be saved. That was the kind of faith people had in him. By then, he had missed his train for Delhi. He had to reach Parliament the next day. The flight, too, had been cancelled. IA accommodated everyone for the night.. Next morning, they all flew together, to Delhi,  including Atalji.

Conclusion:--

I wonder—the man who showed such courage—how the ‘IC-814’ hijack got mishandled? Who all messed it up?

And how NETFLIX can get the clearance to air  a falsified account of that piece of ‘HISTORY’ ??

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

SIR—WEST BENGAL ||| WHAT IS REVEALED

  SIR—WEST BENGAL WHAT IS REVEALED SARASIJ MAJUMDER In West Bengal, during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, massive irregularities have been detected in the 2002 voter list during progeny-mapping or identification of new voters based on the names of parents or relatives. Although the first phase of the SIR has ended, the Election Commission continues to cross-check and repeatedly scrutinize the submitted forms. During this process, information about these “logical discrepancies” has come to light, according to data released by the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of the state.   1.0 Names of fathers of 85 lakhs 1thousand and 486 voters are incorrect or mismatched, which accounts for 11.09% of the total voters. 2.0   For 24lakhs 21thousand 133 voters, the number of children recorded is more than six. 3.0 Major inconsistencies have also been observed in the age differences between parents and children. In 11 lakh 95 thousand 230 cases, the age ...

EXIT POLL: BENGAL-2026

  EXIT POLL: BENGAL-2026 SARASIJ MAJUMDER   PHASE:--1 One hundred and fifty-two constituencies ( 152) across 16 districts voted in the first phase of the West Bengal Assembly polls on April 23. 54 of these seats are spread across the region where Muslim population is quite sizeable. These seats, which are spread across the Murshidabad, Malda, Uttar Dinajpur, and Birbhum districts, Muslims overwhelmingly voted for the Trinamool Congress in 2021 — where TMC won in 49 compared to just five for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Muslims, also voted in large, very large number, this time, in my opinion,—to show their anger over SIR, which many of them were told as ‘Anti-Muslim Exercise’ by BJP. But—they always vote beyond 90%, hence additional effect will not be much. Five of these constituencies saw a very sharp rise in turnout from 2021. Raghunathganj in Murshidabad had the biggest jump, going from 76.4 to 96.9 per cent. Jangipur, also in Murshidabad, increased from 77.8 t...
