Mathura: Jawahar Bagh,once known for its lush or-chards, is
today a charred bat-tlefield. Torched vehicles,gutted houses and
belongingsand the stomach-churningstench of death bear testimo-
ny to the anarchy unleashedon the night of June 2.
Opened to the media 72 hoursafter the carnage, the parkhas
turned up a large haul of weapons, ammunition andwhat police
term a functional
bomb-making unit.What remains indicates
how the 260-acre park wasturned into a personal em-pire by
Swadheen BharatSubhas Sena’s leader Ram
Vriksha Yadav and his armedfollowers, who had stockedprovisions
and material forwhat they evidently expectedto be a long siege.
In a large makeshift struc-ture that functioned as a com-munity
kitchen, utensils liescattered. A generator andseveral batteries
and inver-ters, as well as solar panels,
show how the group managedafter electricity was cut off two
months ago.

New Delhi: In a first, the go-vernment has rejected a
re-commendation of the Supre-me Court collegium for appo-intment of
a high court chief
justice for the second time.This comes at a time when
the government and judicia-ry are locked in a standoff
over certain clauses in theMemorandum of Procedurethat will
guide appointmentsto the higher judiciary.
The collegium, compri-sing the four seniormost jud-ges of the
apex court and hea-ded by the Chief Justice of In-dia, had
recommended a jud-ge’s name for appointment aschief justice of a
prominentopposition-governed state.
The government turned itdown. The collegium reitera-
ted its recommendation,which makes it binding onthe government
to appointthe judge in question.
However, the govern-ment has asked the collegi-um to reconsider
its deci-sion as at least two sitting SC
judges have expressed reser-vations about the judge.

Nainital: Soaring temper-atures are taking a toll on Cor-bett
National Park. With natu-ral water sources inside thepark
practically drying up dueto the intense heat, officialshave been
forced to arrangefor water tanks to ensure thatthe animals’
drinking waterrequirements are met.
According to estimates,almost 1.5 lakh litres of wateris being
procured every day tofill up more than 100 waterholes in the park.
“Although
procuring water has been aregular practice more or lessevery
summer, this year, the
dry spell was too long. Hence,our requirement is huge andwe have
had to get additional
water for the animals,” park di-rector Sameer Sinha toldTOI.
The exercise started inApril with the onset of sum-mer but as
temperatures haverisen, the quantum of waterbeing bought has also
goneup. According to officials, ev-ery day, 35-40 tankers arrive
atthe park, each carrying 4,000litres of water. This is then
fil-led in the water holes eithermanually or with pump sets.
“This is serious. The soar-ing temperatures have result-ed in a
situation where wehave had to increasingly de-pend on supplied
water to
meet the requirements of theanimals,” said Saket Badola,deputy
director of the park.
