The Jharkhand HC on Tuesday directed the state government to stop the auction of minor mineral mines in the ST Areas until the PESA (Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas) Rules are notified.

The order by a bench comprising Chief Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan and Justice Rajesh Shankar puts the ongoing auction process for sand quarries in various districts on hold.

The directive follows a contempt petition filed by the tribal outfit — Adivasi Buddhijivi Manch — in the HC, seeking action for the non-implementation of the July 29, 2024 order.

So You Think You are an Empath?

In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch.
