The Vigilance Cell arrested Mr. Panda, who was in custody since yesterday, and produced him in court today. He has been sent to Chaudwar Jail as his bail was rejected. Yesterday, two three-storey buildings in Bhubaneswar, Badgarh, Gopaluni Nagar and British Colony, a 2 BHK flat in Uttara, a two-storey building in Sanpalla, Khordha and four expensive plots in Bhubaneswar and Khordha were seized. Similarly, cash 73 lakh 66 thousand rupees, gold ornaments worth more than 500 grams or about 60 lakh rupees, bank and insurance deposits worth around 300 times the value of the property >> The vigilance has started a search regarding the diary. It was found that there was a deposit of 37 lakh rupees. Shri Panda, who started his job as a lab technician, had 3 crores. The diary, which was found in the chamber of the Tehsil office when the vigilance was on duty yesterday, is now in the news. The vigilance has come to know that the said diary contains many financial transactions of Shri Panda. On the other hand, after the vigilance team made a surprise visit yesterday and arrested the additional tehsildar, there has been a panic among the employees. Some employees are reported to have not come to the office today due to fear of vigilance inquiries. Chief Administrator apologizes for serious mistake in Shrimandir calendar, sale banned Puri, 3112 (Bureau): The Chief Administrator of Shrimandir apologized. The distribution and sale of Shrimandir's English New Year calendar has been banned. The temple administration has taken this decision after finding a mistake in the photographs placed in this calendar and seeing the displeasure of the devotees. In several photographs presented in the calendar, Shribalbhadra has been placed in place of Lord Jagannath in the Ratnavedi and Shribalbhadra has been placed in place of Shribalbhadra. Shrisudarshan is not present in the photographs. Similarly, the chariots that are crowded during the Rath Yatra have also been placed incorrectly. The photograph of Devi Su Bhadra's chariot being taken to Srigundicha Temple is presented first, followed by Sri Jagannath's chariot and finally Sri Balabhadra's chariot. The photograph depicted on the plaque has been copied and printed in the calendar. The temple administration said in a press release that the photograph depicted on the plaque, which is a century old, has been brought from the Odisha State Museum and placed in the English New Year calendar. Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan said that he discussed the error with the Chief Administrator after coming to know about it. Senior lawyer Ramesh Prasad Sinha said that it is questionable whether the temple's management committee made this calendar with his knowledge or not. Apart from this, questions have also been raised regarding the responsibility of the subcommittee working under the management committee for the protection and promotion of Shri Jagannath culture. The work of the Project Culture Subcommittee and the Shri Jagannath Philosophy Research, Publication and Promotion Subcommittee has been criticized. The head of both the committees is Gajapati. There are many well-known Shri Jagannath culture researchers and servants in this. Action should be taken against those who have committed such a mistake.
