Lucknow: The Chandrawal river lying in utter neglect is soon to come on path of revival after the Uttar Pradesh government has expedited work on this project in drought-hit Bundelkhand region.

Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav announced on Friday that, among other things done to tackle the drought situation in Bundelkhand, the government had also started work to revive the river.

Basic leg work on the project has already been set rolling and district officials in Mahoba were on the job, an official told IANS.

“A meeting of senior officials to interact with and involve village heads in the project has already taken place,” the official further added.

Deputy Commissioner (Mnrega) said that an action plan was being made to ensure water conservation and revival of the river.

Under this plan, one metre ditches will be dug to slow down the water flow. This work of dredging has already been initiated in Chando and Nathupura villages.

Gram pradhans (village heads) of Singhanpur, Baghari, Surha, Mawai Khurd, Bannipura, Khanna, Gahra, Charkhari, Brijpura, Bagraun, Salua, Kamal Kheda — all in the range of the river, have been contacted to help in this project.

According to history, King Parmar Deo, ruler of Chandela dynasty in Mahoba, freed his daughter Princess Chandrawati from Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan with the help of a small army, which camped on the banks of this river and later it was named after the princess.

The rain-fed river once originated in Mahoba and flowed nearly 70-km across Hamirpur and Banda districts to merge with the Ken river.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
