Congress MLA evicted from Gujarat Assembly for wearing T-shirt
Gujarat Congress MLA Vimal Chudasama was on Monday evicted from the Legislative Assembly on the orders of Speaker Rajendra Trivedi for coming to the House wearing a T-shirt. While the Speaker insisted that MLAs maintain decorum and refrain from wearing a T-shirt in the House, the opposition
Congress opposed Trivedi s decision, claiming there was no rule prohibiting members from wearing specific clothes while attending the House proceedings.
Around a week back, Trivedi had asked first-time MLA Chudasama not to come to the House wearing a T-shirt and urged him to take care next time.

RAJKOT: The pride of three lions, who have almost made Rajkot city’s outskirts their permanent home, is now giving sleepless nights to villagers.
Sauntering around the adjoining villages for the past 36 days, a lioness and two sub-adults have killed over 20 milch cattle in Naranka, Rajpara, Bhayasar and other villages of Kotda Sangani and Rajkot talukas.
On Tuesday, villagers along with Rajkot rural BJP MLA Lakha Sagathiya, made a representation to the forest and environment Ganpat Vasava, demanding that the forest department should be directed to relocate these lions to Gir.
Narendrasinh Jadeja, former president of Kotda Sangani taluka panchayat said, “We had represented the forest department earlier too, but in vain, so we approached the minister. The department neither has lion trackers in Rajkot nor trained staff.”

A pride of 10 lions entered a gaushala and preyed on 10 cows in Arab Timbadi village of Jetpur taluka of Rajkot district early on Tuesday. A team of forest department that was tracking the pride, however, reached the spot and saved 25 other cattle heads in the gaushala.
This is the third instance of lions being spotted in Rajkot district in a month. Seven lions were found camping in Thanagalol village of Jetpur taluka, 10 km north of Arab Timbadi last month, and three lions killed 14 cattle earlier this month in Jasdan taluka.
Arab Timbadi is some 10 km from the border of the Gir Wild Life Sanctuary (GWLS). Spread across Junagadh, Bhesan and Visavadar talukas of Junagadh district, GWLS is home to a few dozen Asiatic lions. However, over the past few years, lions have been dispersing out of the protected forest areas to densely populated revenue areas.
