Nada Sahib

Nada Sahib is a Sikh gurudwara in the Panchkula district of the Indian state of Haryana. Situated on the banks of the Ghaggar-Hakra River in the Sivalik Hills of Panchkula, it is the site where Guru Gobind Singh Ji halted while travelling from Paonta Sahib to Anandpur Sahib after the Battle of Bhangani in 1688. History The place remained obscure until nearby villager Bhai Motha Singh discovered the sacred spot and raised a platform to memorialize the Guru's visit. Nothing more is known of the devout Motha Singh nor of the date of the establishment of the Manji Sahib, except that the shrine was under the Dharmarth Board of Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU) in 1948 and was taken over by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) after the merger of the state with Punjab in 1956. Battle of Bhangani was fought between Guru Gobind Singh's army and Bhim Chand (Kahlur) of Bilaspur on 18 September 1686, at Bhangani near Paonta Sahib. Number of Rajput Rajas of Shivalik Hills participated in the war from Bhim Chand (Kahlur)‘s side. It was the first battle fought by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, at the age of 19. The Bachitar Natak mentions that the battle resulted in the victory of the Guru's forces and the enemy forces fled from the battlefield. The Guru, though victorious, did not occupy the conquered territory. Some historians such as H. Raturi, Anil Chandra Banerjee and A. S. Rawat speculate that the battle must have ended without conclusive result, since the Guru's victory is not reflected in any territorial annexations. The Guru entered into an understanding with Bhim Chand soon after the battle. However, this was most likely because the Guru was not after territorial gains, behaving as his grandfather Guru Hargobind had done when winning battles against the Mughals. Architecture The original Manji Sahib was replaced by a two-story domed structure, with an adjacent large rectangular meeting hall. A spacious brick courtyard separates these buildings from the complex comprising the Guru ka Langar and rooms for pilgrims. The holy flag flies atop a 105 feet (32 m) high staff on one side of the courtyard, near the site of the old shrine. Religious gatherings and community meals take place daily. Every full moon day is celebrated, attended by large crowds. Sikh heritage museum There is a Sikh heritage museum at Nada Sahib which showcases Sikh history. Conservation and enhancements Under the PRASAD scheme, the Government of India, allocated INR 25cr (US3.3 million) for the upgrade of facilities in and around Gurudwara Nada Sahib.

National Crime Records Bureau

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is an Indian government agency responsible for collecting and analyzing crime data, as defined by the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Special and Local Laws (SLL). NCRB is headquartered in New Delhi and is part of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). History 1986: inception NCRB was set up in 1986 to function as a repository of information on crime and criminals, to assist investigators in linking crime to the perpetrators. It was set up based on the recommendation of the Task force 1985 and the National Police Commission 1977, by merging the Directorate of Coordination and Police Computer (DCPC) with the Inter-State Criminals Data Branch and the Central Fingerprint Bureau of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The statistical branch of the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) was previously also merged with the NCRB, but was later de-merged. 2022: National Automated Fingerprint Identification System A 10-digit National Fingerprint Number (NFN) is assigned by National Automated Fingerprint Identification System NAFIS to every individual who is arrested for a crime. Different offenses reported under various first information reports will be associated with the same NFN, and this unique ID would be used for the individual's lifetime. The first two digits of the ID will be the state code where the individual who was arrested for a crime is registered, and then a sequence number. The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems database is linked to NAFIS. On 17 August 2022, in New Delhi, Home Minister Amit Shah launched the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS). The NCRB is in charge of its development and administration. The NAFIS is a searchable database of fingerprints linked to illegal activity and crime nationwide. It is a 24/7 service which allows law enforcement authorities to upload, trace, and retrieve data from the database in real time. Madhya Pradesh was the first state to use the NAFIS to identify a deceased individual in April 2022. In order to create a national database of criminal fingerprints, the NCRB supplied equipment to all Districts, the Police Commissionerate, the State Fingerprint Bureaux, the Central Fingerprint Bureau, and Central Law Enforcement Agencies. NAFIS is connected with the Fingerprint Identification System of every State and union territory. As a result of NAFIS's implementation, a searchable national repository including 1.06 crore criminal fingerprint records as of 31 October 2024, is now available to authorized users.
