Munawar wins Bigg Boss 17, beats Abhishek Kumar to win the finale race

MUMBAI: Bigg Boss 17's stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui has been crowned the winner after months of fierce competition. He won the finale by defeating fellow competitor Abhishek Kumar. He received a highly sought-after trophy and a Rs 50 lakh cash award. During the 17th season of Colours, Munawar was one of the most well-liked competitors. Thanks to his shayaris, he has dominated the spotlight ever since entering the Bigg Boss house. But his plan quickly backfired, and he encountered a number of difficulties, chief among them being Ayesha Khan's entry onto the programme and her grave accusations against him. He was accused by Ayesha of lying to her, cheating on her, and making a marriage proposal to a different female. Though his performance plummeted, he was still able to stand tall. Prior to 'Bigg Boss 17', Munawar became well-known for winning the 'Lock Upp' reality show.

Enforcement team Targets Illegal mining Activities in Samba District

SAMBA: Under DC Abhishek Sharma's direction, the Geology and Mining Department Samba launched a major effort to stop illicit mining activities in the area. Six dumpers and four tractor-trollies were seized as a result of the day-long campaign; they are currently being held by the police while the penalties are being realised. A number of other cars were also immediately fined for various infractions found during the operation. Penalty notifications totaling almost Rs 70 lakh have been sent in the last few days to a large number of stone crushers for various geology and mining code infractions.By enforcing compliance and discouraging any illicit mining, transportation, or stockpiling of minerals, these strict rules hope to protect and preserve our natural ecosystem. The goal of the enforcement actions is to uphold the regulations pertaining to mining and geology, guarantee sustainable operations, and protect the Samba District's natural equilibrium. The public has been strongly encouraged to only purchase minerals from authorised suppliers and to make sure that the purchase is accompanied with the appropriate e-challans. The lawful acquisition of minerals through legitimate e-challans makes a substantial contribution by citizens towards the conservation of natural resources and the safeguarding of public funds. Community cooperation is essential to preserving the ecological balance and averting the negative effects of unpermitted mining operations.
