ED Attaches ₹2.34 Crore Worth Assets in Dehradun in “Emollient Coin” Crypto Scam

Dehradun/Srinagar, June 2:

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Srinagar, has provisionally attached assets worth ₹2.34 crore in connection with a bogus cryptocurrency scam linked to “Emollient Coin.” The action includes deposits in two bank accounts and immovable properties located in Ghati River Valley, Dehradun.

The scam was allegedly being run under the name M/s The Emollient Coin Limited, a UK-based company. Its Indian operations were spearheaded by Naresh Gulia, who is believed to be the promoter of the fraudulent scheme both in India and abroad.

ED’s probe revealed that unsuspecting investors were lured into the fake crypto scheme with promises of high returns, only to be duped of their money.

With Dehradun properties under the scanner, this latest crackdown by the ED sounds a loud alert for citizens of the valley to stay cautious of shady investment offers.

The attachment of assets is part of an ongoing investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), and further leads are being pursued to unravel the full scale of the scam.

🔴 Dehradun citizens, be warned – the crypto crooks are in town, and ED’s red flag is real!

IMD Gives Stormy Weather Signnals Ahead in Himachal

Stormy Signals Ahead, But Uneven Rainfall Still a Big Worry for Himachal..

SHIMLA: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast above-normal rainfall for Himachal Pradesh during the June to September 2025 monsoon season — a prediction that will likely keep the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) on its toes throughout the monsoon period.

After a turbulent pre-monsoon, this alert raises concerns of floods, flash floods, and landslides in vulnerable zones.

But the pre-monsoon numbers (March–May) reveal a grim and imbalanced picture. Himachal as a whole received 27% below-normal rainfall, ranking it 39th driest since 1901.

According to IMD data, Sirmaur (+75%) and Solan (+32%) received excess rainfall, while Kangra (-63%), Chamba (-46%), Una (-40%), Hamirpur (-37%), Bilaspur (-35%), and Shimla (-21%) saw significant deficits.

Tribal regions were worst hit: Kinnaur (-86%) and Lahaul-Spiti (-85%) suffered near-drought conditions, sparking fears for water supply and farming.

Even though May 2025 clocked a near-normal average (62.5 mm vs normal 63.3 mm), most of that rain came in short, intense bursts.

Hailstorms battered fruit crops across the apple belt, while some areas were inundated and others remained parched.

But There is no compensation for Farmers from the government for loss from hailstorms.

The skewed rainfall pattern, coupled with climate uncertainty, demands localized weather alerts, stronger infrastructure, and crop loss mitigation strategies.

An active monsoon may be on the way, but unless rain falls evenly across districts, disaster won’t be avoided—just redistributed.

What Should Tourists and Hoteliers Do?

With the IMD warning of an active monsoon, tourists must stay updated with daily weather alerts, avoid trekking during heavy rain periods, and avoid landslide-prone areas, especially in Kullu, Shimla, Chamba, and Lahaul-Spiti.

Hoteliers and homestay operators must proactively inform guests about weather risks, stock up on emergency supplies, and prepare evacuation protocols where needed.

Local tourism bodies should coordinate closely with the SDMA for real-time alerts and disaster readiness drills.

The key challenge isn’t just more rain, but where and how it falls. Uneven patterns could flood some valleys while leaving others dry.

The takeaway: the danger this year may not be less water — but too much, too fast, in the wrong places.

IMD Predict Rain Activity for the Coming Week

Himachal to See Light Rain, Thunderstorms Over Next 7 Days; Temp Dip Likely in Mid Hills

Shimla, June 1:

If you're in Himachal Pradesh, don’t forget your umbrella this week! The state is in for a mixed bag of weather over the next seven days, with light rain and thunderstorms expected in many parts—especially the middle and higher hills—due to a fresh western disturbance and other active weather systems.

According to the Meteorological Centre in Shimla, the next few days could bring light to moderate rain, along with thunder and lightning, in several districts including Shimla, Kullu, Mandi, Chamba, Kangra, and parts of Lahaul-Spiti. The western disturbance, now active over North Pakistan and adjoining Jammu & Kashmir, is expected to interact with local weather systems, pulling in moisture from the plains.

As per the seven-day forecast (June 1–7), light rainfall activity will be scattered across the region, especially in the afternoons and evenings.

The department has also issued yellow alerts for thunderstorms and lightning on a few days.

While the plains like Una and Bilaspur will continue to reel under temperatures nearing 39°C, the middle hills are likely to get some respite. Places like Shimla, Manali, and Dalhousie could see a slight dip in both daytime and nighttime temperatures.

On Saturday, Keylong was the coldest at 5.2°C, while Una recorded the hottest at 38.8°C. Shimla saw a minimum of 13.4°C and a maximum of 26.1°C.

The Met office advises farmers and tourists to stay updated and exercise caution, especially during afternoon thunderstorms. Lightning activity and gusty winds could also affect outdoor plans.
