Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): None of the stay orders challenged by the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) were vacated by the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday, as the hearing on the corporation’s plea to vacate 105 interim stays could not be completed and will continue on Tuesday as well.

The hearing began after lunch, and the court could take up only 42 of the 105 cases. No order vacating any of the stays was passed, with the hearing scheduled to continue on Tuesday.

In a separate connected matter, the High Court granted the BMC three days to file its response in a case filed by Prabodh Deo. The matter has been listed for Sept 11.

Meanwhile, in the batch of connected petitions, the court could not hear the matters finally due to paucity of time and listed them for Sept 8. It directed that existing interim relief, if any, would continue until the next hearing.

The development comes amid the BMC’s ongoing efforts to resume its sealing drive against commercial establishments operating in residential areas.

The civic body had halted the action pending the High Court proceedings on vacation of the stays.

The final outcome of the stay-vacation proceedings is expected before the corporation submits its Action Taken Report (ATR) to the Supreme Court on Sept 12, ahead of the scheduled hearing.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw is promising an increased police presence to keep those celebrating the Jewish High Holy Days safe in light of “an alarming increase in hate-motivated incidents targeting the Jewish community in Toronto.”

He said that increased presence will continue into the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.

“This is always an important time of year for the Jewish community,” said Demkiw at Toronto Police headquarters on Tuesday afternoon with Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow at his side.

“And I want the community to know that the Toronto community will have an increased police presence, both visible and covert, in strategic areas to help keep people safe.”

Rosh Hashanah, which signifies the new year in Judaism, is Sept. 11-13. Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day of the year in Judaism, is Sept. 20-21.

“Jewish Torontonians should not need police presence to go to a synagogue or community centre or simply to live proudly Jewish in our city — but they do,” Chow said.

“In this moment of emboldened antisemitism, Jews, Jewish institutions, and even Jewish neighbourhoods are being targeted. It is despicable. Like the cowardly overnight shootings at North York synagogues. As your mayor, let me be clear: The city of Toronto stands with you against antisemitism.”

Chow goes on the defence

But Chow found herself having to defend her track record when it came supporting the city’s Jewish community including reportedly not taking part in an antisemitism mayoralty debate that was being attended by her closest rival, Councillor Brad Bradford.

“I will be launching my campaign later on,” Chow said. “I’m not here in a campaign capacity. We can talk about campaign activities later on and I will continue to engage with Jewish communities with dialogue on safety, on antisemitisim, on how we can stamp out hate together.”

Demkiw said Toronto Police officers will be embedded with the Jewish Community Network over the coming weeks and command posts will be deployed in strategic areas including one at Bathurst St. and Sheppard Ave.

He said that Task Force Guardian , consisting of officers with specialized tactical training and capabilities including access to patrol rifles, will also be out and about.

“Of course, our newly created counter-terrorism security unit continues to work in an integrated way with all of our partners including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on relevant intelligence to keep people safe,” the chief said.

Demkiw said that since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack, Toronto Police have made 573 arrests and laid 1,398 charges in connection with demonstrations, protests and hate-motivate related offences.

He said that as part of Project Resolute, teams have spent almost 100,000 hours engaging with community members including at synagogues and schools.

“The message here is clear,” Demkiw said. “If you engage in criminal behaviour, we will find you, we will arrest you and we will lay charges against you.”
