Vitla: Continuous heavy rain since last night has caused the barrier wall of the Vitla police station's accommodation to collapse. The wall and the mound behind the residence, where Vitla police station staff live, fell onto the neighboring house of Aisha Ponnottu, causing significant damage.
There are concerns about further landslides, as seized vehicles parked within the police accommodation premises are also at risk of falling onto the house.
Locals revealed that Aisha had previously submitted a request to the town panchayat, but no action was taken.

Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.
However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.
Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.
Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
