One can 'check out' in Padma protest, but can never leave

IndiaTimes Friday, 22 December 2023
Olympic wrestler Bajrang Punia's decision to 'return' his Padma award does not remove him from the register of awardees. The Padma award regulations do not have provisions for the return or acceptance of a returned award. The President has the authority to cancel or annul the awards but has never done so. The awardee's name remains in the register even if they choose to return the award. Former Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal and former Union minister S S Dhindsa also 'returned' their awards but are still listed as Padma awardees.

Devbhoomi Expose: Heroin Crisis Ravages Himachal Pradesh Amid Official Silence

The documentary 'Devbhoomi: Laced with Drugs' exposes the escalating Heroin crisis in Himachal Pradesh over the past 1.5 years. Featuring poignant interviews, including a mother's heart-wrenching account of her child's addiction, and testimonies from local residents and committee workers, it paints a grim picture. Heroin, primarily sourced from Pakistan and flooding in from Punjab, is wreaking havoc. Authorities remain silent, leaving desperate parents to fend for themselves. The documentary confronts viewers with urgent questions: How many more must suffer? How many more young lives must be lost before decisive action is taken against drug peddlers and smugglers? #DevbhoomiExpose #HeroinCrisis #HimachalPradesh #DrugAbuse #YouthAddiction #SilentEpidemic #DrugTrafficking #OfficialNegligence #SaveOurYouth #WarOnDrugs #PunjabHeroinRoute #AddictionAwareness #FightForRecovery #CommunityCrisis #StopDrugPeddling ~PR.152~ED.102~GR.344~HT.336~
