Dehradun, December 30
With the Sariska census goofup, the credibility of wildlife census in India has taken a beating and Uttarakhand is no exception. Interestingly, repeated censuses have only revealed contradictory results and added to the confusion.

IG asks banks to work on security
Dehradun, December 30
Yesterday’s robbery at Punjab National Bank (PNB) has brought to light the harsh reality about the lack of security in the banks of Uttarakhand. Although the police had time and again requested the bank officials to follow certain security guidelines, in order to ensure that no untoward incident occurs, but banks seems to have paid little attention towards the issue. There was no security guard deployed in PNB when five motorcycle-borne robbers looted the Kishanpuri branch of PNB in Kotwar region of Pauri district.

The mystique of Katesar Castle
Mussoorie, the Queen of Hills, is known worldwide for its heavenly beauty that still reflects the charm and romance of the colonial era. Centuries-old bungalows, churches and cemeteries are a true manifestation of the majestic grandeur of those times. One such regal yet unexplored compound is the Katesar Castle complex, which houses a church and a temple as well.
