PM Modi Embarks on Lion Safari in Gujarat to Celebrate World Wildlife Day
Dressed in safari attire and equipped with a camera, PM Modi captured stunning images of Gir’s Asiatic lions, sharing his photography on his X handle with the caption, “Lions and lionesses in Gir! Tried my hand at some photography this morning.”
He continued, “Today, on #WorldWildlifeDay, I explored Gir, renowned as the habitat of the mighty Asiatic Lion. Visiting Gir evokes fond memories of the collaborative efforts we initiated during my tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister. Over the years, collective action has led to a steady increase in the Asiatic Lion population. The contributions of tribal communities and women in conserving the lions’ habitat deserve special mention.”
The Prime Minister noted that in the past decade, populations of tigers, leopards, and rhinos have also seen an uptick, reflecting India’s commitment to wildlife preservation and sustainable habitats.
Earlier on Sunday, PM Modi visited the Somnath temple in Gir Somnath district, praying at the revered Shiva shrine, the first of the 12 Jyotirlingas. He spent the night at Sinh Sadan, a forest guest house managed by the state forest department in Sasan, after arriving from Somnath. On Sunday evening, he visited the Lord Shiva temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas.
Currently, Asiatic lions roam across approximately 30,000 square kilometers, spanning 53 talukas in 9 districts of Gujarat. The Prime Minister introduced the Bruhad Gir initiative, which extends conservation efforts beyond Gir National Park and Sanctuary to cover 30,000 sq. km from Barda to Botad, where Asiatic lions thrive. This expansion also aims to enhance the welfare and development of local communities.

Daughter Held for Mother’s Murder; Father’s Death Also Under Scanner?
Jaipur: A 23-year-old woman, Ayushi Sharma, who was arrested for allegedly plotting her mother’s murder to obtain a government job, is now facing fresh allegations linked to her father’s death.
Ayushi’s uncle has claimed that the death of her father, Vijay Sharma, may not have been natural. He has demanded a police investigation into the case. Police have started looking into the allegation.
According to the police, Ayushi planned the murder of her mother, Neeraj Sharma, with the help of her uncle Mohan Swaroop and her relative Balram alias Ravi. The motive was to gain control of family property and secure her mother’s government job.
Police said the accused paid Rs.7 lakh to contract killers to carry out the murder. The attackers allegedly rammed an SUV into Neeraj Sharma and tried to make it look like a road accident.
Neeraj Sharma, 45, was working as a Lower Division Clerk (LDC) in a court. On July 3, she was returning home after dropping her son at tuition when a speeding Scorpio SUV allegedly hit her near Pratap Nagar. She was thrown nearly 100 feet and died on the spot. The accused fled after the incident.
During the investigation, police examined CCTV footage from the area. They found that the incident was not an accident but a planned murder. The investigation later exposed the conspiracy.
Police have arrested seven people, including Ayushi Sharma, in connection with the case. One accused is still absconding, and efforts are underway to arrest him.

Police said Neeraj Sharma had received the government job on compassionate grounds after the death of her husband about a year ago. Investigators believe Ayushi wanted the job for herself. Police also said there had been a property dispute between the mother and daughter for the past two to three years.
During questioning, Ayushi allegedly told police that she wanted her late father’s government job. However, after his death, the job was given to her mother. She reportedly admitted that this disappointment, along with the property dispute, became the reason for planning the murder.
