Thieves are stealing fish from the Jayanti Sarovar in Jamshedpur

The Jayanti Sarovar located in the premises of the Tata Zoo in Jamshedpur is spread over 20-acre and large fish like rohu and katla flourish in the waters but thieves steal the prized catch at night and the anglers are a worried lot.
Mombers of the Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) have now formed squads of eight or ten enthusiasts who will provide coverage at night from 10pm to 4am. They have already been doing it for the last five days with members taking turns for night duty. They have obtained necessary from the local police.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 7 March 2017.

The anglers complain that the security at the Tata zoo is very lax and private security guards of the zoo operate with the thieves, who enter the lake area from the zoo - the gates of Jubilee Park close at 9pm and reopen at 7am. It seems the thieves jump the zoo wall from the Marine Drive side and walk home with their booty by using the same route and are usually active between 12.30am and 2.30am.
Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC)releases fingerlings into the lake every year but the stock keeps reducing drastically because of the theft.

Tata Steel Zoological Park makes its sloth bears feel at home with almonds and honey

Tata Steel Zoological Park in Jamshedpur wants to make its sloth bears feel at home and hence have made liberal use of almonds and honey. It has got honey trickling from tree trunks. This is because of directives issued by the Central Zoo Authority (CZA) which states that the animal enclosures must be more natural.
The enclosures must simulate the wild to make animals come out of cages. The bears must feel as if they were living in the wild.
This has been reported in telgraphindia.com dated 6 December 2016.

Because of that, the 3,000sqft enclosure that hosts a male and two female sloth bears has two ponds and artificial tunnels and one hump. The caretakers smear honey daily on trees and strew almonds on the ground so that the bears can enjoy these in a more natural way.
Moreover, the cell for the sloth bears also wears a wild look - it looks like a cave with rocks. It also has a crawl area. Captive sloth bears can live for 35 to 40 years and these steps are expected to increase their life span by two to three years. Visitors to the zoo will also like the animals better when they are more playful.
Incidentally, the 10-year-old male sloth bear was rescued from Chaibasa in 2008. Its female counterparts, both aged 25, were freed from madaris in New Delhi in 1997. Their breakfast consists of almonds, honey and carrots. The lunch menu is milk and rice and they have chapattis for dinner.
The sloth bear is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN - this is attributed to loss of habitat and poaching.

Jharkhand to boost tourism at Dimna Lake with angling and water sports

The Jharkhand government is working on plans to host a maiden 10-day fest for tourists at the picturesque destination of Dimna Lake situated around 13km from the city, from December 25. The idea is to promote tourism at various locations of East Singhbhum.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 20 November 2016.

The state tourism department is planning this along with the district administration and, if it becomes successful this year, it may be held in coming seasons too. The tourism secretary is also discussing possibilities of putting up tents for night halt at Dimna Lake. There could be angling activities also and talks are on with the experts of Jamshedpur Angling Club. Moreover, water sports could be on the cards after getting the nod from Tata Steel Adventure Foundation.
The tourism plans include development of infrastructure at Burudih Lake and Galudih Lake, both in Ghatshila, around 45km from Jamshedpur. This could be taken up under the Centre's Swadesh Darshan scheme.

Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur suspends its spectacular musical fountain show

Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur is a sprawling 200-acre green lung of the steel city and it has suspended its spectacular musical fountain show since last week because 24 out of the 100 jet nozzles of the fountains had gone missing over the past week.
These had been installed by a Bangalore firm and the nozzles are not available locally. Hence, the fountain show has been suspended and is not likely to resume before another fortnight. The nozzles appear to have been stolen.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 16 November 2016.

The musical show in Jubilee Park is held thrice a week Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The sprawling park is a golden jubilee gift from Tata Steel to the industrial city and is inspired by the Vrindavan Gardens of Mysore. It was inaugurated by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Incidentally, the fountains were revamped and redesigned near the Rose Garden, Moghul Garden and JN Tata statue in 2012 and more than 2,000 people visit the park every day while the number swells to over 5,000 on weekends.

32nd Book Fair at Rabindra Bhavan, Sakchi, badly hit by sudden demonetisation

The liquidity crunch following the sudden demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes has cast a shadow on 32nd book fair at Rabindra Bhavan, Sakchi, Jamshedpur. It has started with 70 stalls and will continue till November 20.
Unfortunately, the steel city residents, tired of standing in queues before banks, ATMs and post offices for valid currencies, do not have buying books high on their priority list.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 15 November 2016.

Book sellers who have come from Calcutta and other cities were not prepared with wads of notes in smaller denominations. Hence, they have been badly hit when Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes suddenly turned invalid and sales sales are down to a trickle. As one of the booksellers said - the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes happened at the wrong time.
On the first day only Rs 750 worth of books were sold when it is usually Rs 20,000 or more. One of the booksellers managed to arrange a card swiping device at his stall.
Many of the booksellers had paid a minimum of Rs 5,500 for a 100sqft kiosk and Rs 11,000 for a 200sqft one - but their business was down by 50 per cent this year. Most customers are standing for hours in queues before banks and ATMs because they first need cash to make their ends meet. Then only can they think of visiting a book fair.

For pandal hoppers during Durga Pujas in Jamshedpur - try the pool bus service

Jamshedpur is hosting 306 Durga Pujas this year and this is six more than last year. People usually go pandal-hopping on bikes, cars and SUVs. These add to fuel consumption and in turn carbon footprint. However, an innovative method has been drawn up by an umbrella outfit of private bus operators.
They are offering pool bus service that will be a both environment and pocket-friendly option. The capacity of the buses is 30-35 seats, hence extended family apart from neighbors can join in the fun.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 22 September 2016.

The association plan to give a flat 30 per cent discount on fares, which may go up if the service draws good response. This is for half-day booking - half-day will mean from evening till wee hours. This is because people like to visit pandals after dusk because of illuminations.
As per conservative estimates, every private bus collects around Rs 50,000 through daylong ticket sales. Therefore, half-day bus collections would mean Rs 25,000 and 30 per cent of that amount comes to around Rs 17,500. This would mean roughly Rs 500 per head which is affordable.
Booking is quite easy - one needs to call the pool bus service, and indicate the pick-up point and tentative time of arrival. The money will have to be deposited with the staff after boarding the bus. The bus will follow the route that the passengers want, picking or dropping them wherever needed.

How to take care of roses and rose plants

A group of around 200 people attended a daylong workshop organized by the Horticultural Society, Jamshedpur, at Tata Steel Zoological Society. Expert tips were given by one of the leading rose producers of eastern India who is managing director of Jakpur-based Puspanjali Nursery in Bengal.
The nursery was established in 1978 and boasts of over 3,000 varieties of roses, grown over 18 acres. The firm is one among the largest suppliers of the flower in eastern India.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 11 September 2016.

Some of the salient points that emerged in the course of the workshop are - (i) roses should be planted in well-drained and fertile soil during spring at a spot that gets at least six hours of sunlight (ii) rose plants should be protected from high temperature and humidity, which damage them, especially in August-September and (iii) this can be done by hardening the plants with chemicals like super phosphate of potash besides fungicides and insecticides.
General secretary of the Tata Steel Zoological Society has assured to conduct similar workshops on other household plants like jasmine, gloxinia, lily, begonia, maple and anthurium. In order to do this, they would invite experts from across India who would provide insights into new methods of cultivation and care.

Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) organises day-long angling competition with easier rules

Jamshedpur Angling Club (JAC) is all set to host a daylong angling competition in Jayanti Sarovar to mark the 112th birth anniversary of JRD Tata, the doyen of Indian industry. It is expected that around 60 anglers from Jamshedpur, Ranchi, Durgapur, Kharagpur, Ghatshila and Bhubaneswar will take part in the event.
This year, a number of steps have been taken to ensure less disappointment for the anglers.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 29 July 2016.

One of the revised rules is - anglers can use multiple hooks and throw their bait till an unlimited distance. Their chances will be bright if the range of the bait is more. This will help them net more number of fish. It is usual for anglers to hurl the bait at a distance of around 60 feet. This earlier was two hooks till a distance of 30 feet.
Moreover, JAC has released around 2.5 lakh fish fries in the 20-acre lake last month. Obviously, anglers are assured of hooking and bringing in better.
The club is charging Rs 1,200 per contestant and will provide anglers with a fishing platform and lunch packet.

Steel City Jamshedpur wants eco-friendly Durga Pujas - begins preparations

Durga Puja, the biggest festival of Bengalis is hardly 70 days away and, already preparations have been started by Jamshedpur Durga Puja Kendriya Samiti to ensure celebrations keeping in view the environmental constraints and requirements. The Samiti is an apex organization that monitors Pujas in the steel city of Jamshedpur and it has set the ball rolling with festivities expected to be held in the second week of October.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 27 July 2016.

For a start, the samiti has issued directives to all organizers in Jamshedpur to go in for light-weight idols without the use of synthetic colors - this will facilitate smooth and pollution free immersions. The puja committees have been asked to use natural and environment-friendly colors.
The idol makers have indicated that they can make light-weight and eco-friendly idols but, these will be costly. Normally, traditional materials are bamboo, clay and hay, while the lighter varieties were made of coir, copper wire and plaster of Paris. These need more time to make and there is the cost factor as well.
Another aspect is the concern over inadequate rain due to which the level of water in both the Subernarekha and Kharkai was low. Usually, overflowing rivers help in smooth immersion of idols. This will be another point to keep in mind while making the idols.
Jamshedpur hosts over 300 pujas and is second only to Calcutta in Bengal in terms of numbers. Last year's steel city puja count was 300.

Jamshedpur to get a new three-star 30-bed hotel to boost tourism

It was a three-storied tourist complex in the heart of Jamshedpur that had been lying unused since 2008 for want of an operator. It is being converted into a three-star 30-room hotel and will provide visitors to enjoy live music with buffet dinner every weekend, monthly food festivals from various regions apart from tour packages to the nearest scenic locales.
It has been christened "The Kannelite Hotel Sakchi Vihar" and is a property of Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation. It has been constructed at a cost of Rs 5-crore and is spread over 1.5 acres. The complex uses natural and LED lights, will also offer free wi-fi to its patrons. The tourist lodge has got a new lease of life after hospitality and housekeeping provider Kannelite Facility Management Services signed an MoU with JTDC for taking over operations in January.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 21 June 2016.

AS informed by the authorities, the intention of the hotel is to reach out to people of different regions living in the cosmopolitan steel city and host food festivals of traditional regional cuisines every month. Plans are ready for the first six months.

Jolt for West Bengal - another TATA firm closes office in the city

Industry in West Bengal receives yet another jolt with another TATA firm opting out of the city - it is the Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) — a subsidiary of Tata Sons — and it has decided to shut its Kolkata office and merge it with its existing set-up in Jamshedpur. Coming in election time, it will be a discomfort to chief minister Mamata Banerjee who is eager to get more investment for her state. It may be recalled that the TATA automobile setup in Singur where NANO was supposed to be built was forced out by the same Mamata Banerjee when she was in the opposition.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 26 March 2016.

TCE is an integrated engineering consultancy solutions provider offering services in industry segments like power, nuclear energy, chemicals and infrastructure, among others. It has delivered over 7,000 successful projects globally but it is not seeing any future in Bengal because It was not finding the right kind of projects in the state.
The firm TCE has its sprawling 15,000 square-foot offices in Sector V Salt Lake and employs 350 employees - recently, MD and CEO of TCE had come down from the Mumbai head office and informed TCE staff that the unit was being closed down, and its employees could move to TCE Jamshedpur if they wished. Those not willing to relocate would have to leave the company because the unit is being closed down.
