Shaban Bukhari, son of Shahi Imam Syed A Bukhari, to marry a Hindu girl from Ghaziabad

New Delhi/ Nagpur:
 Despite all efforts to maintain communal harmony and peace, intermittent incidents of unrest and clashes of faiths crop up and pose threats to law and order situation as well as peaceful communal existence. Now, with a new and happy development of announcement of marriage of Shaban Bukhari, son of Jama Masjid’s Shahi Imam Syed Bukhari with a Hindu girl from Gaziabad, all skirmishes between Hindus and Muslims may find a newer dimension of social co-existence, and love as well as respect for one another, which is need of the hour. 
It was November 22, 2014, Shaban Kukhari, son of Jama Masjid’s Shahi Imam Syed Bukhari, was formally annointed as the Naib Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi. The 20-year-old Shaban Bhukari is pursuing his bachelor’s degree in Social Work at Amity University. Shaban will become the Shahi Imam of the country’s largest mosque when he would succeed his father.
Amid rising communal tensions in the capital city, after a violent mob murdered a man and thrashed his son over rumours that they ate beef, there’s a positive news country needs to know, and it’s about a love story. All religions and their sincere followers are tired of stressing the need to maintain love among all human beings.
Shaban Bukhari is all set to tie the knot to a Hindu girl from Ghaziabad. The two have been in a relationship for a couple of years. Syed Ahmed Bukhari, who was initially against the marriage, agreed to it when the soon-to-be-bride gave her consent to embrace Islam. She is already learning the Quran, Shahi Imam said.
Preparations for the marriage to be held on November 13, 2015, are already ongoing. A reception will be organised on November 15, at a farmhouse in Mahipalpur.

DPS Ghaziabad sports to the top

he red brick structure of Delhi Public School (DPS) Ghaziabad stands in stark contrast to the dusty road that leads to the school. Located on the Delhi-Meerut highway and spread over 15 acres, the campus offers Wi-Fi facility and is also home to six international-quality cricket pitches,  four basketball courts and a skating rink. The 29-year-old school is naturally one of the popular choices for parents in Ghaziabad. "The school has a unique login ID for each student. This system allows us to be in touch with the progress in the classrooms. The teachers are very tech-savvy and are extremely organised," said Dr Anju Rai, a gynaecologist, whose two sons study in the school. "If my child is unable to attend school, we can access the lessons taught in class through this system." The school has 3,000 students and 160 permanent teachers led by an award-winning principal. "The teacher student ratio is 35:1. This helps us give individualised att...

Autos back on Ghaziabad roads on Monday despite strike called by union

Auto rickshaws were seen plying on city roads on Monday. (TOI Photo) GHAZIABAD: Three-wheeler autos -- including 3+1 seaters and 6+1 seaters -- have been plying in regular fashion since Monday morning in Ghaziabad despite an indefinite strike called by the union. Autos were seen ferrying passengers at the Vaishali metro station, the terminal point of the metro line in Ghaziabad, on Monday. Autos also have been moving through Mohan Nagar, Link Road, GT Road and other parts of Ghaziabad.  Members of the Ghaziabad Three-Wheeler Auto Chalak Union, however, said the strike has not been called off.  Regular movement of autos in the city on Monday has spared commuters from inconveniences that were faced a day earlier on roads. Union president Dilshad Ahmed was not available for comments. The union has called the strike citing a slew of demands. Among other demands, the union has asked for the raising of life span of autos with 3+1 capacity from the current eight...

Ghaziabad Metro phase-2 project hangs fire over funding

GHAZIABAD: The second phase of Ghaziabad's ambitious Metro project -from Dilshad Garden in Delhi to New Bus Stand -is facing uncertainty over funding.  Principal secretary (housing) and Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) chairman Sadakant Shukla on Monday said the UP government had not allocated any funds for the project in its budget and the state agencies that had promised to partly fund the Rs 2,208 crore project were now backing out.  However, modalities are being worked out for ensuring the ongoing Metro work is not affected due to paucity of funds and a decision is likely to be taken soon in Lucknow over external funding for the project if state government agencies failed to pay up their share of costs, Shukla said.  In fact, the Metro project is being jointly funded by the Centre, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and the UP government. While the Centre and DMRC have pledged Rs 730 crore for the project, the state government will be bearing a burden of Rs...
