Schools, colleges to remain shut in Dharamshala today due to heavy rains

Following the death of a 19-year-old student of a government college in Dharamshala and allegations raised by her family along with a video purportedly recorded by the girl before her death, the Himachal Pradesh government has initiated both administrative and police action.

Acting on media reports, the UGC Anti-Ragging Helpline has registered a suo-motu complaint, even as the college administration has maintained that the case is a death and not a suicide.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday noted that the Dalai Lama's message of inner peace even holds greater relevance in today's world torn apart by conflict and polarisation.

Addressing the event celebrating the Dalai Lama's birthday here, the Union Minister said that a multi-disciplinary centre (Dalai Lama Centre) based on the Nalanda tradition is being built in Bihar's Bodh Gaya to promote the fusion of Tibetan and Indian ancient wisdom.

"Samrat Vikramaditya had built a Ram temple in Ayodhya 2000 years ago. Now, our government will try to construct a 'dharmshala' in Ayodhya for people of the state visiting there. If the land is made available, we will also construct 'Vikramaditya Ghat' on the banks of the Saryu River," CM Yadav said.
