President of the organisation Shamsher Singh Bisht said in the election season, Army officers, who were jumping in the electoral fray, were trying to woo these ex-servicemen.
Undergraduate admissions end: Admission to various undergraduate courses at DAV PG College, Dehradun, ended here on Wednesday.

According to officials of the college, “The HNB Garhwal University has directed the college not to extend days for the admissions. In fact, the college staff had to carry on the work of admissions till 2 pm today while three counters were set up to meet the rush of students.”
Bhadraj fair: The Bhadraj Temple Tourism Fair, which is held in praise of Lord Bhadraj, was held with devotion and gaiety at Doodhli village, 7 km from Mussoorie, on Wednesday. Devotees offered prayers at the temple situated at about 7,000 feet above the sea level. They also offer milk to the deity braving incessant rain.
Communal amity fortnight: The district of Udham Singh Nagar would be observing a communal amity fortnight from August 20 to September 3. This was announced by the District Magistrate, Dr BVRC Purshottam, at Rudrapur on Wednesday. On August 19, the officials and common people would take a Sadbhavna Oath at 11 am at a programme that would be organised by the administration.

Villagers losing crops to monkeys: Residents of many villages around Almora have once again approached the district administration and the Forest Department to resolve the issue pertaining to the damage caused to their crops by wild animals. The villagers have been contending that a major part of their agriculture produce is devastated and ravaged by monkeys and wild boars due to which they are being compelled to give up farming altogether and look for some other source of employment. They have stated that crops like maduva, pinera, paddy, pulses, turmeric are being totally destroyed by animals. The villagers are agitated that their repeated pleas have not been addressed.
Jallali residents press for block status: Residents of the Jallali area near Ranikhet in Almora district are agitated over the delay in making Jallali a full-fledged block. They are contending that it is close to 14 years since it was announced by the then Uttar Pradesh government that Jallali would be made a development block but nothing has been done in this direction till now. The people contend that the area has a population of 35,000 that has been deprived of the opportunity of being a part of the development process. They are peeved over being misled on the issue.
Youngsters thrash cops, 1 held: Yet another instance of policemen being thrashed by rowdy elements has come to light. According to the reports, two police personnel, deployed at the Haldwani Medical College Post, were thrashed by four youngsters. The police personnel had gone to question them since they had found the car parked under suspicious conditions. Reports say that the four accused, identified as Amarjit Singh and Manohar Singh of Karayal village, Jaswinder of Sitarganj and Umesh of Charayal village, allegedly attacked the police personnel. While the remaining three managed to flee on arrival of additional police force, Manohar Singh was nabbed.
