Netherlands based EV company Squad Mobility has developed a pint-sized urban electric car that can squeeze into any tight parking spot, literally resolving the worry of vehicle owners in a city. What's more interesting is the solar panel positioned on its roof that can generate power for the EV. Christened the Solar Squad, the electric vehicle is claimed to envision an affordable solar-powered mobility solution for everyone.( Renault to bring its Mobilize brand into this country next year)The EV looks like a boxy tallboy hatchback with two seats inside the cabin. It can be dubbed as an effort to bridge the gap between cars and two-wheelers like scooters or mopeds. The design of the EV is pretty basic, with large windows, an exposed roll cage and stylish wheels. It sports circular LED headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights. The EV gets removable doors and a roof-mounted solar panel as well. Squad Mobility says the solar panel is the USP of this car and this panel is claimed to provide 20 km of range every day. Also, the EV's battery is claimed to offer a 100 km range on a full charge. The company also claims that considering the fact that an average city car user drives around 12 km per day, a 20 km range provided by the solar panel makes a practical case.However, as it is not guaranteed that every day will be a sunny day, the EV comes with swappable battery packs that enable the owner to change the drained out battery with a fully charged one. The company claims that this battery pack be charged using the household charging system as well.The cabin of the car is free from any premium features and comes reflecting practicality. It gets a digital instrument cluster, and a climate control system. For creature comfort, it gets a phone holder, which can hold the phone while being used for navigation and infotainment.Speaking about performance, the EV is capable of running at a top speed of 45 kmph, thanks to its dual rear-mounted electric motor that produces 5 PS of power. The company claims that it is planning to launch a four-seater variant of this EV as well, which would be able to run at a top speed of 70 kmph.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response:

Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray said on Monday the state has set a record of administering vaccines to 800,000 people in a day against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19), adding it can conduct 1.5 million inoculations within a span of 24 hours. 'Our effort is to make the vaccines available to the people as soon as possible,' Thackeray, the tourism and environment minister, was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. His comments come as several districts in Maharashtra continue to grapple with a shortage of Covid-19 vaccine doses to inoculate people at the earliest. Authorities have till now administered vaccines to 44,672,654 people across the state of which 33,440,863 have received the first dose and the remaining 11,231,791 have been fully vaccinated.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Maharashtra was the first state in India to administer both doses of the vaccine to more than 10 million people. However, the shortage of vaccines has led to the suspension of inoculation drives in recent months, including July. Last week, state health minister Rajesh Tope reiterated the demand for more vaccines by saying a majority of the Covid-19 cases are from Maharashtra and the death rate due to the viral disease is also high. ' We want to immunise the people as soon as possible. In this way, the effect of the third wave in the state would be less,' Tope said on July 28. Maharashtra has recorded 6,310,194 Covid-19 cases, 132,948 people have succumbed to the disease and 6,094,896 have recovered till now. Meanwhile, as the government is planning to ease the ongoing lockdown like restrictions in 25 districts where the Covid-19 growth rate and the positivity rate is lesser than the state average, state minister Aaditya Thackeray said on Saturday that Maharashtra has to start preparing for the third wave of the pandemic as soon as the relaxations are introduced. 'When the third wave will hit us depends on us; as soon as we start opening things, we need to start preparing for the third wave,' he told HT.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which issues the Aadhaar card in the country, has slashed the price for authentication by customers. The charge has been slashed to ₹3 from ₹20 per instance to enable entities to leverage their infrastructure for providing ease of living to people through various services and benefits. While speaking at Global Fintech Fest organised by NPCI-IAMAI, UIDAI CEO Saurabh Garg said that the potential of leveraging Aadhaar in the financial technology sector is immense. "We have slashed the rate from ₹20 per authentication to ₹3 and the objective has been to ensure that different agencies, entities should be able to use the power of digital infrastructure which has been created by the state that needs to be used to provide people with ease of living with dignity," Garg said. Last week, the Ministry of Communications has issued a series of orders simplifying the KYC processes and thereby initiating the telecom reforms announced by the Cabinet on September 15. Customer consent has been made compulsory in case the Aadhaar is being used and demographic details are being obtained electronically from UIDAI. Accordingly, the following orders for immediate implementation have been issued by DoT to implement contactless, customer-centric and secured KYC processes: Aadhaar based e-KYC process has been re-introduced for issuing of new mobile connections. Telecom Service Providers will be charged Rs. 1 per customer authentication by the UIDAI. This is a complete paperless and digital process wherein the demographic details along with pictures of the customer is received online by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) from the UIDAI.

Yes Bank co-founder Rana Kapoor has informed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that he was "forced" to buy a painting by MF Husain from Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, PTI reported on Sunday, 24 April.Based on the ED chargesheet, the sale proceeds were used by the Gandhi family to pay for the medical treatment of Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi in New York.Kapoor has also alleged that the then Petroleum Minister Murli Deora had told him that a refusal to buy the painting will prevent a good relationship with the Gandhi family and also the 'Padma Bhushan' award.Kapoor apparently gave a cheque of Rs 2 crore for the painting. "He had even made me several calls and messages also in this regard from multiple mobile numbers. In fact, I was very reluctant to go for this deal and I had tried also to avoid this deal several times by ignoring his calls/messages and personal meetings," Kapoor told the ED."Under this threat and against my family's wishes, since we are not high-value art collectors, I could not afford to invite any form of enmity with the two powerful families involved and thus I had to hesitatingly proceed given the looming and overhanging threat involved," he added.Kapoor is currently in judicial custody after he was arrested in March 2020. From a legal perspective, it should be noted that Kapoor has not, even according to the details of the statement being made public, made any specific allegations regarding the supposed coercion by the Gandhis.At this time, no allegation has been made that the money obtained by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was received through illegal means, or left undeclared in her tax returns.It should also be noted that the allegations have surfaced as being made in a statement to the ED during interrogation, not as a statement to a court.Congress Counters AllegationsReacting to the allegations, Congress party leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi in a press conference on Sunday, 24 April said that the government is making it an issue as it suits their "political angle". "A person who is behind bars for years, whose 20-30 bail allegations have been rejected, makes allegations about dead people and the government is jumping with joy only because it suits their political angle. They want to keep the pot boiling for 2022 regarding a transaction of 2010 when neither Murli Deora nor Ahmed Patel is there (alive) to deny it," he said.The ED has alleged that Rana Kapoor and Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL) promoters Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan had siphoned off funds worth ₹5,050 crore and the former even tried to dispose off his overseas properties to protect them from being targeted by the ED under PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act).

Navjot Singh Sidhu has been in jail for nearly 24 hours, as of Saturday evening. However, he has not had a morsel to eat throughout this period, according to his lawyer HPS Verma. On Friday night, after surrendering, he refused to eat dinner provided by the Patiala jail authorities as he is allergic to wheat, his lawyer said. Lawyer HPS Verma has appealed in the Patiala court that food be provided to cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu as per his health constraints. However, there has been no response from the authorities yet. "I have been sitting in the court since the morning, waiting for jail authorities to arrive. But no one has come so far," he said. WHY IS SIDHU IN JAIL? The Supreme Court sentenced former Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu to a one-year jail term on Thursday in a 1988 road rage case. The Supreme Court had earlier allowed the review of its May 2018 order exonerating him in the 34-year-old road rage case, in which Patiala resident Gurnam Singh had died. WHAT HAPPENED IN 1988 The case relates to the death of a man, Patiala resident Gurnam Singh, in December 1988 after Sidhu and a friend allegedly assaulted him in a road rage incident. On December 27, 1988, Sidhu and Rupinder Singh Sandhu purportedly parked their Gypsy in the middle of the road near the Sheranwala Gate crossing in Patiala. When 65-year-old Gurnam Singh reached the spot in a car, he asked them to move aside. Sidhu then beat up Singh. He also allegedly removed Singh's car keys before fleeing so he couldn't get medical help. 1988 road rage case: How Sidhu's first night went in jail ### Response:

While the idea of binge-watching your favourite films and television shows might seem like a dream, the unwinding activity can soon turn into a bloody nightmare that causes fatal blood clots in the lungs or legs."Binge-watching which involves prolonged sitting in cramped positions for long periods of time, has been linked with an increased risk of developing a venous thromboembolism (VTE). This is a condition where a blood clot forms in a vein. It includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, which is when a clot travels to the lungs - which can be serious or even fatal," Dr. Mohit Garg of Parel's Global Hospital told HT. How does a clot form? If you often spend your days sitting or resting for too long, the healthy circulation of blood in the legs can drastically slow down or come to a standstill. This could result in the formation of blood clots. : Brain Attack? What to do if someone has had a brain strokeCan exercise lower the risk of blood clotting in binge-watchers?"Exercise can reduce the risk of death in relation to time spent sitting, but exercise doesn't seem to reduce this risk as much in people who watch a lot of television. The increased risk could also be due to unhealthy eating habits often associated with watching TV. An unhealthy diet can also increase your risk of blood clots," said Dr. Garg.: Herbs and spices that help fight arthritisSymptoms of deep vein thrombosisAlthough not everyone with DVT experiences symptoms, the medical condition usually shows signs in one arm or leg.

Russians gathered on May 9 for the annual Victory Day celebrations, a hugely symbolic commemoration of Nazism's defeat in the second world war.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict Elsewhere in the world, there is general agreement that Russia's military has so far failed to achieve the strategic territorial gains that would have allowed Vladimir Putin to declare Moscow's war aims achieved in time for the event. And so denied the opportunity to declare his own victory in Ukraine, Putin merely repeated a version of his worn-out diatribe against Nato and the west in his speech on Moscow's Red Square. But Moscow's climb-down began long before. Having failed to take Kyiv and to force a Ukrainian surrender in the first days and weeks of the invasion, Moscow announced slightly more modest, albeit not necessarily more achievable, goals for the second stage of its aggression against Ukraine in April. In the course of this second stage of the war, Russia hopes to establish full control over Donbas and southern Ukraine, including Odesa, and consolidate a land corridor to Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria. This is reminiscent of the Novorossiya project pushed by the Kremlin briefly in 2014 to justify Russian territorial claims to southern Ukraine and Crimea. It is based on the historically dubious claim that these areas, conquered by the tsarist Russian Empire in several 18th-century wars with the Ottoman Empire, have always been Russian and should therefore be a part of modern-day Russia. Little progress has been made in this regard so far. Russia has achieved some initial territorial gains to the north of Luhansk, but has been pushed back around Kharkiv. Similarly - and also dating to the early days of the invasion - Russia captured much of the Kherson region but had to abandon plans for a referendum there, initially scheduled for April 27, and is struggling with the introduction of the Russian rouble. Similarly, about half of the Zaporizhzhia region, including the capital after which it is named, remains in Ukrainian hands. Russian forces have not been able to advance towards Mykolaiv, the capital of the neighbouring region of the same name, either and have, in fact, been pushed further away from this strategic city by a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Nor has the Kremlin been able to take all of Mariupol, where Ukrainian defenders are still frustrating Russian efforts amid a humanitarian catastrophe. While the Russian offensive in eastern and southern Ukraine has stalled, it has not ended. Russian forces have made small gains around Izyum and Popasna since the war effort was redirected to Donbas, and there remains a danger that Ukrainian forces will be encircled in the government-controlled areas of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions. But Russia's incremental gains have come at in terms of personnel and material, both of which are increasingly difficult to replace because of a lack of available combat-ready troops and western sanctions, which make production and repair of new equipment more difficult. But the continuation of heavy fighting in Donbas and of long-range attacks on major population centres and critical infrastructure in central and western Ukraine indicate that Moscow retains significant combat capabilities and is willing to bring them to bear. The highly determined and successful Ukrainian defence efforts, supported by western military aid to Kyiv and simultaneously increasing economic pressure on Moscow, raise the question of how long Russia will invest in an unjustifiable aggression that is more and more difficult to sustain and lacks any sign of tangible progress. Over time, therefore, a war of attrition is more and more likely. As Russia "switches" to defence, it will entrench itself firmly in the territories it holds by then, and, in a reversal of the current situation, Ukraine will find it hard to push Russian forces back much further. Ukraine's western allies, meanwhile, have pushed increasingly ambitious war aims. This includes US defense secretary Lloyd Austin saying that Russia should be weakened "to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine". UK foreign secretary Liz Truss, meanwhile, has demanded that Russia be pushed out of Ukraine completely. This goes beyond Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky's minimum goals in any negotiations: that Russia withdraw beyond the front lines as they existed prior to the start of the invasion on February 24, 2022. But Zelensky has also made it clear that a precondition for Ukraine entering into negotiations was the successful evacuation of civilians (which has now been completed) and fighters from the besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol. There are, as yet, no signs that the war will end with anything but a negotiated deal. To assume otherwise would be to overestimate the potential for pushing Russia out of Ukraine and underestimate the human and material cost and time-frame of this. Moreover, after almost three months of war, both sides are exhausted and may crave a break in the intense fighting - to rest, regroup and resupply their forces. However such a ceasefire might come about, it would also create an opportunity for negotiations, not least because any subsequent change in the status quo achieved by then would only be possible at probably intolerable costs. The increasing engagement of the United Nations in mediation efforts and the recent "Presidential Statement" from the UN Security Council, which was also supported by Russia, indicate that a return to negotiations may be feasible in the near future. As a "no war, no peace" situation may develop similar to what happened in 2014-2015, the west must remember the ill-fated Minsk Agreement of February 2015. New negotiations with Russia now need not, and should not, entail any concessions that legitimise Putin's aggression. Moscow needs to fail in Ukraine and visibly so to deter future adventurism. But for that to be possible, negotiations need to happen and they will not even start as long as one side still believes that it can win on the battlefield. Even once the realisation sets in that this may not be possible, both sides will still aim to improve their positions on the ground before the war grinds into a stalemate. The west therefore needs to further increase pressure on Russia. This means, for example, implementing the EU's sixth sanction package and subsequently extending it in line with the G7 statement of May 8, 2022. At the same time, military support of Ukraine needs to continue and expand. Weakening the Russian war effort and strengthening Ukraine's defence capabilities will be critical to minimise Kyiv's losses - territorial and otherwise - and enhance its bargaining position in future negotiations.

Fans are eagerly waiting for the release of one of the most anticipated films, Thor: Love and Thunder. First reactions to the film are out, critics can’t stop praising the cast. They took to Twitter and reviewed the film Check out: Erik Davis, film critic tweeted, “Another classic Thor adventures! #ThorLoveAndThunder is everything I wanted it to be. Big, colorful, weird Guns N' Roses-fueled battles to go w/ a hopelessly romantic story about discovering love in unexpected places. Christian Bale & Russell Crowe are especially great. And Korg!” Jake wrote, “I saw #ThorLoveAndThunder. It can't quite match the visual or comedy bombast of Ragnarok, but Taika Waititi makes up for it with an emotionally mature Marvel movie. It's also very funny (Natalie's got jokes) and features one of the most stunning visual sequences in MCU history.” Another critic mentioned, “#ThorLoveAndThunder gets better when it's not trying to desperately recapture the magic of Ragnarok. Most of the humor doesn't land as well as it did the first time, but Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, & Christian Bale do the best with it.” “THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER is a rockin’ great time with electrifying action, lots of laughs (the screaming goats!) & a profound story on absent gods & our desire for love. Natalie Portman makes a mighty return & Christian Bale slays it as the terrifying Gorr. The best Thor film yet!,” mentioned another person. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth did "a lot of work" to prepare for his nude scene in the film. Sharing that shooting the scene for the Taika Waititi-directed movie felt like a natural evolution for the character, the 38-year-old actor made sure he was in tip-top shape before taking his clothes off, reports aceshowbiz.com. "I mean, it was kind of 10, 11 years in the making, that shot," the Hollywood leading man, who stars alongside Natalie Portman in the new movie, told Entertainment Tonight ". "In each film we`ve taken off another item of clothing, and now we just kind of took it all off." Hemsworth, who embarked on an intense fitness plan before shooting the movie, admitted the director was the driving force behind the scene. When asked what made him reprise the character for the new Marvel movie, he joked: "Obviously a contractual obligation. If it was my choice it wouldn`t have happened!" The husband of Elsa Pataky has played Thor for more than a decade, and he previously confessed to over-training in the early years. ### Response:

Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska on Thursday urged the European Union to step up its efforts in order to grant candidate status to Ukraine. Virtually addressing the international conference WomenNOW, held in Spain, she made an appeal to the representatives of the 27-nation bloc, saying that the Ukrainians are "awaiting in every trench and every bomb shelter" to hear the acceptance so that they can be "invited into Europe as like-minded people." She also hailed Spain for welcoming Ukrainian asylum seekers amid the four-month-long running war waged by Russia. "On June 23-24, the European Council will consider granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership. This is what is now awaited in every trench and in every bomb shelter. To be invited to Europe no longer as refugees, but as like-minded people and allies. People who are now fighting not only for themselves, but also for the aggressor not to come to Europe," Zelenska said. She added, "someone will ask: what do we have to join the EU? I will say: we have the main thing - we value human life." The Ukrainian First Lady also extended her gratitude to Madrid for allowing refuge to over 1 lakh Ukrainians.

Zelenskyy says Russia 'doesn't want peace' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday claimed that negotiations to reach a concrete resolution over the conflict are stalled because of Moscow's "intention to intimidate everyone in Europe." Addressing the countrymen during his daily nightly address, the embattled President alleged that the Russian Federation "does not want to look for a way to peace." He also called on Kremlin head Vladimir Putin "to decide for himself that the war must end." "All leaders understand why negotiations to end war are not underway... It is exclusively because of Russia's position...who is only trying to intermediate everyone in Europe and continue the destruction of our state. Do not want to look for a way to peace," Zelenskyy stated. The video address came after a long day of meetings with EU leaders- French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi- who came for a surprise visit to Kyiv in order to reaffirm their support amid ongoing Russian onslaught. Calling it a "historic day," Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to the visitors and for "principled political support," defence aid, and assistance in increasing export capacity, including grain.

By Sunil Parameswaran Ask a layman as to why he or she invests in a government bond, and they will say because it is risk-free. Government securities are known as Gilts. This is because in ancient England, the debt securities issued by the government came with a border made of gold foil. Thus, there is a belief that gilts are risk-free securities, which are as good as gold. What people do not realise is that default risk is only one of many risks associated with investments in debt securities. Thus, while bonds issued by the central or federal government of a country may be free of default risk, the other risks exist. One of the key risks is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk, unlike other risks, impacts a bondholder in two ways. First, all bonds, with the exception of zero-coupon bonds, pay periodic coupons, which need to be reinvested to earn a compounded rate of return. Reinvestment riskThus, there is reinvestment risk, which is the risk that interest rates may be low, at the time the coupon is paid out. The second facet of interest rate risk is market risk or price risk. This is the risk that interest rates may be high when the bond is sold in the secondary market, and the higher the prevailing yield, the lower will be the price received by the holder. The two risks work in opposite directions. Reinvestment risk hurts the holder if rates decline, while price risk impacts him if rates rise. It must be remembered that if the bond is held till maturity, then there is no price risk, for the face value will be paid out. Thus, to avoid both default risk and interest rate risk, an investor must buy a zero-coupon government security, and hold it till maturity. Remember that, while zero coupon bonds have no reinvestment risk, they nevertheless have price risk, if traded before maturity. Inflation riskThe next risk to be considered is inflation risk. Most securities, including government securities, pay promised nominal cash flows. However, there is no assurance as to what can be acquired with the payouts received. If the rate of inflation is high, the purchasing power of the cash flows received from the bond will decline. To overcome this risk, governments issue inflation indexed bonds. There are two possibilities. Either the principal or the coupons may be indexed to inflation. The former is known as a P-Linker, while the latter is known as a C-Linker. In the case of P-Linkers, the principal is adjusted periodically based on a price index such as the consumer price index (CPI). A fixed coupon rate is then applied to the adjusted principal. In most cases, in the unlikely event of deflation, if the adjusted principal at maturity is lower than the original principal, the government will pay out the original principal. In the case of C-Linkers, the principal will remain fixed at the initial face value. Every period the rate of inflation will be added to a fixed or real rate. The sum of the two rates is then applied to the principal. If, due to deflation, the sum of the two rates is negative, the practice is to set the coupon to zero. Thus, there are a lot of dimensions to risk, even with a supposedly risk-less asset like a government bond. The writer is CEO, Tarheel Consultancy Services ### Response:

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Sunday announced that Australian Test skipper Tim Paine has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third day of the third Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Paine fined 15% of his match fee ICC, in a statement, said: "Paine was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an International Match'." In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to the disciplinary record of Paine, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period. Tim Paine swears at the on-field umpire The incident happened on Day 3 of the ongoing contest on Saturday following an unsuccessful review during India's first innings and the on-field umpire at that point in time was Paul Wilson. It had so happened that during an over bowled by veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, India's number three batsman Cheteshwar Pujara was caught in close on the leg-side by Matthew Wade, and a huge appeal was made for the same. Tim Paine Swears At On-field Umpire After An Unsuccessful Review On Day 2 Of SCG Test However, Wilson was not convinced and therefore, the decision went in the batsman's favour after which the hosts decided to get it reviewed. But luck did not favour the Aussies even there as the third umpire Bruce Oxenford could not succeed in finding any conclusive evidence on Snicko and Hot Spot due to which the batsman was given the benefit of doubt and Pujara's stay at the crease prolonged as the umpire's call was not out. What happened next? The decision did not go down well with captain Tim Paine as he lost his composure and was involved in a heated exchange with the umpire. As per reports, the stump mic had caught Paine saying that the third umpire needed to examine the off-side Hot Spot rather than looking at just the leg-side version.

Manali, Jan 3 : A shocking video clip of a group of policemen mercilessly beating up a man in the newly inaugurated Atal Tunnel beneath the Rohtang Pass near here in Himachal Pradesh went viral on Sunday. The police admitted that the incident involving the tourist and policemen was a result of an overtaking incident amid a massive traffic snarl in the tunnel on Saturday. The video was shot by a passerby. In the clip, a Constable can be seen beating the man with a stick. Many bystanders watch but no one intervenes. Another policeman joins in towards the end of the clip and beats the man again by kicking him on the face and slapping him. Cold wave hits Bihar, fog reduces visibility Among the six security personnel involved, one allegedly belonged to the Border Roads Organisation. Twitter users who shared the video clip expressed shock over the 'inhuman' treatment of the tourist by the policemen involved. Earlier, a case of hooliganism had come to light when a group of youngsters from Delhi stopped their three vehicles midway in the Atal Tunnel, a new tourist attraction where parking vehicle inside is an offence, and started clicking photographs, recording videos and dancing. This led to obstruction of traffic inside the tunnel. The 9.2-km horseshoe-shaped single-tube, two-laned tunnel has shortened the distance between Manali and Keylong, the headquarters of Lahaul-Spiti, by 46 km and travel time by nearly three hours.

An iceberg is a big chunk of ice broken off from glaciers. The process of breaking off from the bigger glacier is called calving. These are floating in the ocean but are made of frozen freshwater. These are not made of saltwater. The Northern Hemisphere has more icebergs and they are broken off from Greenland. Many times they drift into waters using the current and remain afloat for long duration. In the Southern hemisphere icebergs are formed off the glaciers of Antarctica. Size of Icebergs: Many icebergs are small: Bergy bits are floating sea ice that measure not more than 5 meters or 16.5 feet above the ocean. Growlers are even smaller in size. The bigger icebergs are situated closer to Canada. The iceberg that hit the Titanic was also considered to be huge. Near Antarctica a few icebergs are as big as Sicily which is the largest island of the Mediterranean. As little as one-eighth of an iceberg is visible above the water. Most of the mass of an iceberg lies below the surface of the water. Reason of formation of an iceberg: The iceberg breaks off from the glacier for two reasons: The glacier moves to a forward downward sloping area and the end of the glacier breaks off from it and falls into water. The second reason is warm water or air. The glacier warms and a lake is formed in the middle of the glacier by carving a depression and the rest of the ends fall off due to gravity forming an iceberg. The second reason listed above may be due to global warming. These icebergs are freshwater sources. Almost 90% of icebergs are underwater due to the mass of water it carries. Types of Icebergs: Brash ice- It is a collection of floating ice and icebergs that measure not more than 2 meters or 6.5 feet across. Tabular berg- It is a flat-topped iceberg formed when ice breaks directly off an ice sheet or ice shelf. The icebergs are dangerous to ships as the complete mass is not visible from the top. Moreover they have sharp edges which may cut through the material of the ships causing them to sink. This is how the Titanic sank. A part of the North Atlantic is specially called Iceberg Alley because of the amount of icebergs that are there. ### Response:

Naturalists and wildlife researchers in Tamil Nadu have welcomed Project Nilgiri Tahr, announced by Finance Minister PTR Palanivel Thiagarajan on Saturday as part of the Rs 850-crore budget outlay for programmes related to forests, climate change and the environment. The first-of-its-kind project aims to protect the state animal, endemic to the Nilgiris and the southern portion of the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and raise awareness about it. Nilgiri-based ecologist Godwin Vasanth Bosco said he was waiting to see how the Rs10-crore fund earmarked for the project would be spent. 'It's so sad to see the Nilgiri tahr population restricted to the fragmented patches of grasslands in the Mukurthi National Park. The Glenmorgan patch is not connected with the very next habitat due to human activities and habitat loss. The government should take some steps to strengthen the inner corridors in every range so the genetic exchange will take place for the healthy population.' This ungulate species is protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, and classified as an endangered one by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The Nilgiri tahr (nilgiritragus hylocrius) inhabits montane grasslands with rocky cliffs at elevations of around 300 to 2,600 meters above mean sea level. The elusive species can be seen in Mukurthi, Glenmorgan of the Nilgiris, Anamalai, Grass Hills, Coimbatore's Siruvani hills, Dindigul's Palani hills, Megamalai of Theni, Agasthyamalai ranges and Eravikulam in Kerala. 'We are closely working with the Tamil Nadu government to conserve the Nilgiri tahr population in the state,' said Sanket Bhale, team leader of the Word Wild Fund's Western Ghats-Nilgiris landscape. 'By initiating this project, the government has also taken a step towards the conservation of the shola-grassland ecosystem. The existence of the species is a good indicator of a healthy ecosystem. If the shola-grassland ecosystem complex is protected, water resources of major rivers that originate from these areas will also be protected,' he said. According to Bhale, many other habitats of the Nilgiri tahr—from the Coimbatore forest division down to the Kanyakumari Wildlife Sanctuary—are far less studied because of the inaccessible terrain. 'We also do not understand how the Nilgiri tahr negotiates various habitats, and their dispersal behaviour. Project Nilgiri Tahr should focus on bridging these knowledge gaps through regular surveys and the collaring of a few tahr individuals, which can help the conservation planning and pave the way for reintroduction of the Nilgiri tahr to their historic habitats,' Bhale added. MA Predit, coordinator for Nilgiri tahr conservation at the WWF, said studies suggested that some of the habitats were fragmented and isolated, leaving the tahr populations vulnerable to local extinction. 'Our surveys have recorded populations as low as 20-30 in a few locations. While the larger populations in the Nilgiris and Anamalai Hills are stable, the smaller populations are at risk due to fragmented populations, forest fires, changing climate and inbreeding depression. Project Nilgiri Tahr should address these issues,' he said. A 2015 survey conducted by forest department with the help of the WWF and other non-governmental organisations had estimated 3,122 tahr individuals. The Eravikulam National Park has a 700-strong tahr population while the Anamalai Tiger Reserve and the Mukurthi National Park complex have 626 and 463 tahr individuals, respectively. Naturalists and wildlife activists are eagerly waiting for the result of the ongoing Nilgiri tahr survey undertaken since the pandemic started. Pravin Shanmughanandam, an Anamalai-based naturalist, said tourism was the major threat to the Nilgiri tahr now. The fund allocated for the project should therefore be spent on the restoration and expansion of tahr habitats and the protection of the tahr corridors, he said, adding that poaching of the animal for meat was nowadays minimal. 'In Anamalai, very few tahr individuals roam around roads and rely on tourists for food. Tourism is the major threat to the tahr. People often visit Anamalai's protected grass hills using their influence with political leaders. This should be strictly disallowed,' he said. Shanmughanandam also said the project should focus on clearing the high-elevation grasslands of invasive plants to keep the tahr's natural habitats liveable for it. ### Response:

The Supreme Court in a recent ruling has not set aside or altered the fundamental features of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman wrote in an article July 1 as the indirect tax system completes five years of implementation. In a May 19 ruling, the apex court had said that recommendations by the GST Council are not binding on states or the Centre and hold a persuasive value. "Since its introduction, GST has naturally faced teething problems. But, it has emerged strongly after facing turbulence from the Covid-19 global pandemic and its fallout," Sitharaman wrote in The Indian Express. "It is to the credit of the GST Council that the Centre and the states held each other's hand to not just face the crisis but to lift our economy onto the path of recovery." The finance minister said that the average GST monthly collections have increased to Rs 1.24 lakh crore in 2021-22 from Rs 1.04 lakh crore in 2020-21. In the first two months of this year, the average collections are Rs 1.55 lakh crore, she said, adding that "it is reasonable and fair expectation that this steady increasing trend will continue". Sitharaman cited former West Bengal finance minister Asim Dasgupta, who was the chairperson of the Empowered Group of State Finance Ministers from 2000-2011, as saying that the GST Council is a recommendatory body to the Parliament for central GST and to assemblies for the state GST. Some states have raised concerns over the loss of their right to tax under GST, especially as the GST compensation ending on June 30 this year will hit their finances. Nearly a dozen states demanded at the GST Council meeting earlier this week that the GST compensation be extended by five years. As many as 16 states spoke on GST compensation at the meeting, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said earlier, of which 3-4 states said that they have to stand on their own and not depend on compensation. ### Response:

Like many talented cricketers from the country, Sarfaraz Khan has gone through a turbulent journey in a topsy-turvy career. A young prodigy who first shot to fame in the Mumbai's famous Harris Shield game in 2009 where he smashed a massive 439, Sarfaraz was soon suspended by the Mumbai Cricket Association for fudging his age. Controversies have constantly followed the temperamental lad since then. An immensely gifted cricketer, coached by taskmaster father Naushad Khan, Sarfaraz made his first-class debut in December 2014 but fell foul with MCA the very next season and joined Uttar Pradesh. He struggled to maintain his wits there too and his father, who seemingly wields a huge influence over every facet of his life, brought him back home to Mumbai in 2018. Given the rich natural talent Sarfaraz possesses, Mumbai couldn't ignore him but the 24-year-old had to endure a cooling off period before getting to play in the 2019-2020 season. Sarfaraz knew that would be his last shot at redemption as any more tantrums could potentially derail his career. He made 928 runs in nine innings but then given the abundance of gifted young batters in the country, Sarfaraz had to replicate it to be in the limelight. Sarfaraz, despite his fitness issues, has done it this season too, leading Mumbai's batting charts with 937 runs so far in eight innings. The fire and hunger to prove that he's ready to take his game to the next level was on full display on Thursday in the Ranji Trophy final against Madhya Pradesh where he smashed a career-defining 134 (243b, 13x4, 2x6) to power Mumbai to a competitive 374. Soon after reaching his eighth first-class ton, he let go of his pent-up emotions. He first celebrated with a slap to the thigh and raising his hand with the index finger pointed upwards as a tribute to late Indian rapper Sindhu Moose Wala whose songs he and the team love listening to. Then the tears flowed, in recognition of the efforts his father has put in to make him the cricketer he is. The emotion, in fact, overflowed during an interaction with the media where he kept sobbing and couldn't hold back his tears. "I got emotional after my century and had tears in my eyes because my father has worked very hard,' said Sarfaraz. 'He used to wake up early and help me improve my game and hence I got emotional. All the credit for my success goes to my father. I would be nothing without him. I have worked very hard and he has never let go of me. I saw a video on Hardik Tamore's phone where my brother has uploaded a status where my father looks very happy. Dreams are fulfilled, even if it takes time but I am happy that I have my father by my side. Without him, I am a nobody,' said a sobbing Sarfaraz. Sarfaraz said he was determined to score a century in the final and termed it as the best knock of his career. 'Last night I was thinking about my best innings in Ranji Trophy. I would rate this as my best knock ever because this is the final. My team needed it and we were losing wickets at the wrong time.' After the day's play India selector Sunil Joshi had a long chat with Sarfaraz. When asked if the chatter around him being given an India call-up distracts him, Sarfaraz said his only focus is to make his bat talk. 'I don't get affected by the outside noise. It doesn't matter if we have a crowd or if the game is telecast live. While batting, I stay in my zone. I only focus on scoring runs. Every individual has dreams that are to be fulfilled. (Team India call up) will come if it's in my destiny. I'll control whatever is in my hands and leave the rest to Allah.' ### Response:

Lucknow: Om Prakash Rajbhar, former Uttar Pradesh minister and president of the Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party, has promised total prohibition in the state if his party comes to power in the 2022 Assembly elections. "Liquor is a major source of corruption in elections and also harmful for health. It is a huge source of revenue but as a welfare state, we should be more concerned about the people rather than the money," he explained. He has also promised free power supply to the poor and free education. Talking to reporters, Rajbhar said that his Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha would perform exceedingly well in the upcoming elections. "The BJP and the Congress are shying away from caste census because they know that OBCs and Dalit population is much more than what is their present share in politics. We will not allow the BJP to drive a wedge between the Hindus and Muslims for electoral gains," he said. Brushing aside his earlier meeting with BJP state president Swatantra Dev Singh, Rajbhar asserted that he would not return to the BJP fold unless the party brings a 'qualitative' change in its ideology and working. Taking a dig at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he said, "Saints and seers should remain in the confines of temples and stop dabbling in politics." ### Response:

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi (AP) Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday raked up the Kashmir issue at a multilateral meeting in Kazakhstan, saying that sustainable peace in South Asia was not possible without the resolution of the 'core dispute' with India. Qureshi made the remarks while addressing the 6th Ministerial Meeting of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) through a video statement. The meeting was hosted by the current CICA Chair, Kazakhstan. Qureshi 'underscored that sustainable peace in South Asia would remain elusive until and unless the core dispute of Jammu and Kashmir is resolved in accordance with the resolutions of the UN Security Council and the wishes of the Kashmiri people,' according to the Foreign Office in Islamabad. https://images.indianexpress.com/2020/08/1x1.png One royal floated firm to buy UK house, another wound company up After attacks, J&K to migrant staff: get to work or face action Conversion push by Christian missionaries: Akal Takht jathedar India has repeatedly told Pakistan that Jammu and Kashmir 'was, is and shall forever' remain an integral part of the country. It has also advised Pakistan to accept the reality and stop all anti-India propaganda. India has told Pakistan that it desires normal neighbourly relations with Islamabad in an environment free of terror, hostility and violence. India has said the onus is on Pakistan to create an environment free of terror and hostility. In his address at the CICA held in the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in a veiled attack on Pakistan, said that cross-border terrorism is not statecraft but simply another form of the menace as it called upon the international community to unite against this evil, as seriously as it does on issues like climate change and pandemics. In his virtual address, Foreign Minister Qureshi also touched upon the situation in Afghanistan. Noting the negative impact of four decades of war and conflict in Afghanistan, Qureshi called upon the international community to support the Afghan people in their quest for peace, stability and development at the critical juncture in their history. He lauded CICA's role in providing an invaluable platform for promoting peace, security and development on the Asian continent through dialogue and cooperation. The Foreign Minister also called for a just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question through the two-state solution in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions.

Ballia (UP): BJP MLA Surendra Singh has alleged that violence during the farmers' tractors parade in the national capital had taken place on the directions of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, and demanded that a case of sedition be lodged against those involved in the violence. Hitting back, Uttar Pradesh Congress media coordinator Lalan Kumar charged that the BJP government was responsible for the violence and said the BJP MLA's statement shows his 'mental bankruptcy'. The tractor parade on Tuesday that was to highlight the demands of the farmer unions to repeal three new agri laws dissolved into anarchy on the streets of the national capital as tens of thousands of protesters broke through barriers, fought with police, overturned vehicles and hoisted a religious flag from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort. Speaking with reporters on Tuesday night, the BJP MLA said, 'The act of violence during tractor parade is condemnable. A case of sedition should be lodged and strict action should be taken against those involved in the act'. HAL successfully test-fires anti-airfield weapon from Hawk-i aircraft Asking the party leadership to take strict action against those involved, Singh alleged, 'There is foreign hand behind the violence. The incident had taken place on directions of Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Congress leaders not expressing any regret over the incident proves that.' Reacting strongly to the allegation, Kumar charged 'The BJP government, Home Ministry, police and intelligence agencies were responsible for whatever happened during the tractor parade'. 'For bringing bad name to the agitation some persons intruded in the guise of farmers. Deep Sidhu is an example. Sidhu was representative of BJP MP Sunny Deol…BJP should tell how Sidhu is related with it and what punishment will he be getting for whatever he did at Red Fort,' Kumar said. Presumption of undertrial's innocence should not be destroyed by media trial: Court Deol has said he has no link with Sidhu. Expressing anguish over the violence in the national capital during the farmers' tractor parade, the Congress had said on Tuesday that there is no place for such incidents in a democracy, even as it urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to 'shun arrogance' and repeal the three farm laws. UP Minister for Backward Welfare, Anil Rajbhar had said on Tuesday that 'those protesting in Delhi are not farmers but middlemen-type people, who stand exposed after the incident.' 'The work of farmers is not to protest on roads with their tractors. They always work in their fields. They are protesting laws passed in Parliament,' he added. ### Response:

Mysore/Mysuru: The Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam in Srirangapatna taluk of Mandya district has written a record of sorts by storing 100 ft water in May, the peak summer season. This is for the first time in 10 years that the water level has stood at 100 ft during May. Above normal rainfall in the catchment areas of Kodagu in March-April has resulted in steady flow of water to the Dam and the level is maintained despite regular water release to the lower riparian States. With the water level at the Dam standing at 100 ft, the cities of Mysuru and Bengaluru have escaped drinking water crisis this summer. Taking into account the 10-year data from 2012, the water level had dipped to the lowest in May 2013 when it stood at 64.12 ft, unleashing a drinking water crisis where water was supplied in tankers to thousands households in Mysuru. The second time when the water level dipped to the low level was in 2017 May when the level stood at 70.03 ft. In 2018, the level was 70.13 ft. The dead storage level of the KRS Dam is 74.76 ft or 4.4 tmcft (thousand million cubic feet). Even the Kabini Dam has maintained a healthy water level, enabling the residents of areas formed by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to heave a sigh of relief. The farmers are also happy as in the coming days, water will be released from both the KRS and the Kabini to help irrigate the standing crops in the tail-end regions. Mysuru is dependent on the KRS and Kabini reservoirs for its drinking water requirements and the water level in the reservoirs so far is higher than what it was during the same time in the last 10 years. Yesterday's (May 14) water level at KRS stood at 100.03 ft as against the Full Reservoir Level (FRL) of 124.80 ft. Man arrested for murdering wife five years ago Last year, on May 14, the water level at KRS stood at 88.50 ft and in 2020, the water level stood at 96.28 ft. This year, on Apr. 29, the water level dipped till 99.50 ft and on Apr. 30, the water level further dipped till 99.42 ft. But the level rose in a few days as rains lashed Kodagu and Mysuru. The water level touched 100 ft mark on May 10 and from that day till May 15, the level has been maintained slightly above 100. The present storage level of the Dam is 22.833 tmcft as against the maximum storage level of 49.454 tmcft. The good news is that the southwest monsoon is likely to arrive by the end of May. "This year, the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala is likely to be earlier than the normal date of onset. The monsoon onset over Kerala is likely to be on May 27 with a model error of four days," India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. ### Response:

The Jammu and Kashmir Tribal Affairs Departments (TAD) on Saturday, July 2, approved a series of reforms for hostels across the Union Territory to provide state-of-the-art educational facilities to tribal students and focus on outcome-based quality education and skilling. The Union Territory-level committee headed by Secretary of TAD, Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, approved a number of measures and schemes to be launched with immediate effect from the current academic year for providing such facilities, an official said, as stated in a report by PTI. The approval was given at a meeting which was attended by Special Secretary Harun Malik; Secretary Gujjar and Bakerwal Advisory Board, Mukhtar Ahmed Choudhary, director Tribal Affairs, Mushir Ahmed Mirza and financial Advisor Ashok Thukaan among others. In a significant move, the official said, the department approved the 'Technology Enabled Education Scheme' for hostel students under which students enrolled in Classes XI, XII and PG courses, will be provided tabs and PCs with pre-loaded study material including books, animations, mind-maps, resource material and references. The students will be allowed to own the tab even after being relieved from hostels on completion of the course, he said. Over 1,000 students studying in the notified classes will be provided with these tabs before July 31, he added. The official said the Tribal Research Institute (TRI) has been entrusted with the course and content design for tabs and providing it to students. The tuition system in hostels was also given a boost with an enhancement in the honorarium for tutors, as it was increased from the existing rates of Rs 1,000, Rs 1,200 and Rs 1,500 for tutors of Classes VI to XII to Rs 3,000, Rs 4,500 and Rs 6,000 per month, respectively, a three-four times hike, the official said. In an endeavour to provide educational facilities to the students throughout the year, the TAD has notified that hostels will operate and remain functional for 12 months instead of the present 10 months in a year system, he said. 'Special courses will be run during the vacation period for skilling of students including tribal students volunteering to enroll for such courses,' the official said. He said the committee also accorded approval for a 75 per cent enhancement in the daily diet rate increasing it to Rs 175 per student per day with immediate effect, up from the existing Rs 100 per student per day and further recommended an enhancement of Rs 300 per student per day to be taken up in revised estimates of the budget. The official said the committee also reviewed the proposal for 25 new hostels which are being approved for the current financial year at a cost of Rs 100 crore and the completion of languishing hostels, many of which were pending in absence of requisite approvals and codal formalities for the past many years. ### Response:

India this month pointedly spoke at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) about how Pakistan had failed to meet the global demand for the dismantling of its "terrorism mill" that churned out jihadists across South Asia. This demand to curb terror organisations follows up on the 2020 United Nations report that warned India of a significant rise in the numbers of homegrown terrorists. The report specifically mentioned the states of Karnataka and Kerala being the locations from where al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) had been identifying and training militants. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) along with state intelligence departments have been keeping a close watch on the movement and growth of several Indian-origin terror outfits. The rise of terror groups in southern India Over the years, southern India has become a hotbed for several extremist/radical outfits like SIMI, Al Ummah, Indian Mujahideen and AQIS. Since the early 1990s, there has been an exponential growth in radicalisation and radical groups in the region. Some of these have aligned and identified themselves with bigger terror groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba, al-Qaeda, and Daesh or Islamic State (ISIS). The recent arrest of three members of the Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ) for threatening Karnataka High Court judges of “possible” murder over the hijab verdict brings back to focus the role of small outfits linked to various terror organisations, particularly in southern India. TNTJ has been perceived to be linked to the Popular Front of India (PFI), though it calls itself a "non-political, socio-religious, community service" organisation. News18 spoke to several officers who have been closely associated with investigations of these radical groups. They observed how, over the years, there has been a marked change in their identification, indoctrination, and initiation. "Earlier the madrasas were used to indoctrinate young minds. The seniors would talk of how their religion is under threat and it is these young minds that will let Islam flourish. Slowly, they began to use technology like social media platforms and messaging services but in stealth mode," said a senior Tamil Nadu-based police official who requested anonymity. Many of the terror groups claim to be organisations dedicated to social service. They target young impressionable minds and brainwash them to "help protect their religion. Groups such as TNTJ are no less. Their speeches threatening the judges smack of inciting a rebellion and anti-national feelings," said Gopal Hosur, former Inspector General of Intelligence, Karnataka Police. "These radical groups target uneducated or semi-educated youth to indoctrinate them. They follow the policy of catching them young, impart training while they are fit, and then let them out to spread their extremist views." Many of them receive funding from terror organisations like the LeT and ISIS, said a senior Karnataka police official associated with several investigations related to terror cells in the state. “These small splinter groups receive training, weapons, and, when the time comes, are expected to join hands and provide local support on the ground," he added. Even during the protests against the Citizen's Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) beginning in 2019, Indian agencies found several sleeper cells trying to exploit the situation to radicalise and attract more people into their fold. They claimed that their religion was being threatened and the "young and willing" should join hands to save it. "The sleeper cells of such radical groups have always been there, but they always wait for an opportunity to raise their heads. They wait for the opportune time to act," the official added. These terror organisations would largely target young vulnerable men and women who are heavily influenced to take the path of “jihad”. They talk to them about the greater "Islamic cause" and ensure the potential recruits are completely radicalised before inducting them full-time. They would be shown videos and graphic photographs of those who became "martyrs". The young impressionable minds would also be subjected to images of torture to create anger and fear. Increased radicalisation after Babri Masjid demolition The trend of radicalisation is said to have gained momentum after the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992. Islamic cleric Abdul Nasser Madani, who founded the Islamic Seva Sangh (ISS), began delivering speeches and meetings to influence the "community to stand up against atrocities". The now-banned ISS radicalised individuals like Thadiyantavide Naseer, who Indian agencies believe is the South India commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Here are some of the extreme radical groups that are being closely monitored by agencies such as the NIA and state intelligence departments- Popular Front of India: The Popular Front of India (PFI) predominantly operates out of Kerala, a state where the NIA believes several Muslim radical organisations have been mushrooming. The PFI is an offshoot of its predecessor, the National Democratic Front (NDF), which was formed in 1993, a year after the Babri Masjid demolition. The NDF allegedly was formed to wage war against the oppressors of Muslims in India. In 2006, the NDF merged itself with other like-minded organisations- Manitha Neethi Pasarai (MNP) in Tamil Nadu and the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) to form the Popular Front of India. According to the NIA, the outfit has a presence in almost 23 states in the country. Many states in India have banned the organisation for "anti-national activities" and the Centre is also contemplating outlawing it nationwide. The PFI began portraying itself as a platform to help change the lives of the Muslim community and emphasising on bringing about socio-economic, cultural and political empowerment of those living in India. The group also has immense political clout, so much so that political parties in Kerala and Karnataka feel that a ban on the PFI could be perceived as an anti-Muslim move. However, the organisation continues to remain on the radar of the government as it has been observed that many PFI followers switched loyalties to the Islamic State. Three years later, the PFI launched its political arm, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), with the tagline "to fight for the advancement and uniform development of all the citizenry, including Muslims, Dalits, Backward Classes and Adivasis”. The same year was launched the Campus Front of India (CFI), said to be PFI’s student wing, and the forum at the fore of the hijab controversy that has rocked Karnataka. The CFI though had told News18 that it doesn’t have an affiliation with any political party or organisation. Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI): Formed in 1977 in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh, SIMI has been known to be the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. The organisation banned by the Indian government in 2001 under the subsequently-repealed Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) has been known to have led to radicalisation and formation of terror groups such as the Indian Mujahideen and Al Ummah. Claiming to be a voice against Western ideals, SIMI leaders spoke of restoring democracy through the caliphate and creating Dar-al-Islam (Islamic land) in India. Manitha Neethi Pasarai and Karnataka Forum for Dignity: Smaller outfits like Manitha Neethi Pasarai and Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) formed in 2001 were seen to be offshoots of SIMI. They later merged themselves with the National Democratic Front (NDF) to form the PFI. MNP, a Tamil Nadu-based group, is believed to have links to Yasin Malik's Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front as well as PFI. In October 2004, the Cuddalore police raided MNP offices for their alleged involvement in converting Dalits to Islam and imparting weapons training. The KFD, which also merged with the PFI, was seen to be active in the Dakshina Kannada region of Karnataka. The Karnataka police have probed the group's involvement in the 2009 Mysuru communal violence and the terror attack at the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru in 2005. Indian Mujahideen (IM): The banned terror organisation that was born in the year 2000 in Karnataka's Bhatkal town was created by two brothers who shared the area’s name: Riyaz and Yasin Bhatkal. At first, the IM was called Usaba (meaning congregation in Arabic) and enlisted members from across states like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The outfit claimed its main objective was to bring together like-minded people who were committed to waging a holy war against anti-Muslim people and the Indian state. According to the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA), the IM is not a well-knit organisation with a hierarchical structure like other more established groups such as the LeT. It is seen as an Islamic terror organisation that includes a loose network of groups like SIMI, PFI, HuJI, Al Umma, and supporters of the LeT. The IM's first attack was in 2002 on the American Center in Kolkata. NIA sources tell News18 that Amir Reza Khan and Aftab Ansari were the masterminds behind it. They wanted to avenge the death of Amir's brother Asif Reza Khan, who had been killed by police in Gujarat in 2001. By late 2007, the IM began gaining support in southern India. Several top-rung SIMI leaders supported the formation of the IM and had even imparted training to 50 SIMI cadre members in Kerala's Aluva. India faced a number of terror attacks across cities, which the intelligence agencies confirm were masterminded by the IM. The 2008 bomb blasts in Jaipur and Ahmedabad followed by a series of blasts in Bengaluru, Guwahati, and Delhi in the same year were seen to have the IM footprint. It was after the Guwahati bomb blast that an insignificant group called Islamic Security Force renamed itself as the Indian Mujahideen. Al Ummah: Just like the PFI, this Tamil Nadu-based terror group was founded in 1993 by Syed Ahmed Basha, a year after the Babri Masjid razing. The name came up after a bomb blast took place near the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office in Chennai that killed 11 people. Al Umma was now under the scanner of India's defence and investigation agencies and once again hit the headlines in 1997 when it was accused of planning to assassinate senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader LK Advani using pipe bombs. Advani was travelling to Coimbatore to participate in an election campaign and escaped as his flight was delayed. Serial blasts in 18 places caused the deaths of more than 50 people. Al Umma's name surfaced once again in 2013 during the Malleswaram bomb blasts in Karnataka. Deendar Anjuman: This is a Hyderabad-based radical group that has been involved in a series of bomb blasts across churches in southern India. According to information from sources in the NIA, Deendar Anjuman carried out blasts in Bengaluru, Wadi and Hubballi, apart from other places in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS): Islamic State (ISIS or IS) has been slowly radicalising the existing radical groups in India since their mission is quite similar. They have been identifying radical groups ready to align themselves with ISIS in hopes of funding and training. India has voiced its serious concerns about the continued presence of al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent and the increase in the number of recruits to the Islamic State-Khorasan (ISIS-K). India's representative to the United Nations, Ambassador TS Tirumurti, while speaking at the Security Council briefing on March 4 this year, said, “Terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to Afghanistan and the region. We need to see concrete progress in ensuring that such proscribed terrorists, entities or their aliases do not get any support, tacit or direct, either from Afghan soil or from the terror sanctuaries based in the region.” While ISIS is monitored by intelligence agencies across the world, its links to several Indian splinter groups have been found. “Agencies like the NIA have been systematically arresting and dismantling them,” said a senior source from the agency. ### Response:

The oil companies have laid a huge burden of Rs 100 on each domestic LPG cylinder in two months. They increased the gas cylinder cost by Rs 50 in March and again on May 7 which made life of the poor and middle-class consumers miserable. It was learnt that the erstwhile Chittoor district has nearly 10.50 lakh consumers who get cylinders from 103 gas agencies across the district. On an average nearly five lakh cylinders are to be refilled per month. LPG connection has become a dire necessity for families of all classes. The poor and middle-class sections were already hit hard by the rising petroleum prices with which their monthly budgets have shattered beyond expectations. The prices of all essential commodities including vegetables are on rise citing petrol/diesel prices. Even dairies have increased the milk rates by Rs.4 per litre recently. "We could not manage the household budgets with rising prices and unchanged incomes. In fact, we could not understand how to cut the expenditure. The electricity charges have also gone up from this month. In the last 10 months the price of LPG has gone up by more than Rs 150," said a homemaker P Hema. An employee in a private company D Krishna said that the LPG cylinder delivery boys have been charging Rs.1100 as a round figure including delivery charges. Whenever the gas cylinder cost is increased, the delivery charges also go up and they are charging Rs 65 which is too much. As the commercial cylinder price has also increased few days earlier than the domestic cylinder price increase, it now costs Rs 2,598 as against Rs 2,223 after the increase in March. This has resulted in a major cut of revenues for even the small eateries. Ganesh who runs a street-side eatery said that they could only revise the tariff of various items slightly due to stiff competition. But it will be difficult to survive like this for long as the edible oil prices too have crossed Rs 200. He criticised the governments for not showing any mercy towards various sections while increasing the prices and taxes. Several people were critical of the Central government's stand on the daily revision of oil prices. Citing the recent elections in five states during which the petroleum prices remained constant during November-March, they recalled that when there are elections around, the prices would not be touched and once that process is over, they start charging the people with huge price hikes. ### Response:

The coronavirus was indeed leaked from Wuhan laboratory in China, claimed a report by US Republicans and seeks proper investigation into the origin of the virus, which has caused millions of deaths across the globe in the past two years. The report titled 'The Origins of COVID-19: An Investigation of the Wuhan Insitute of Virology' was released by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Grand Old Party (GOP). Earlier this week, the report was made public in addition to the one report released in September 2020 on the origins of the COVID pandemic. The September 2020 report was about a possibility that the virus was leaked from the Wuhan lab and stated that the report has ultimately dismissed the wet market as the outbreak's source.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. It happened sometime before September 12, 2019. China and the World Health Organization (WHO) maintain the Covid pandemic most likely originated in a Wuhan wet market. The Republican report state that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab before September 12, when the central database of the Wuhan Institute went offline. Later, the following months went into futile cover-up exercise by the government and the scientists. This time, the report added that the World Health Organisation initially covered up the pandemic. It said dissenting doctors were detained, virus lab samples were destroyed, and China suppressed information on the human-to-human transmission of the virus. However, the cover-up failed as the virus had already spread in Wuhan and other cities. China had also ultimately denied any Wuhan accident releasing the virus and blamed the United States for the virus' origin. Further adding, China did not share scientific samples of the virus for investigation, delayed sharing information, and restricted WHO's probe. As per the report, the increased rush of patients with COVID was seen at Wuhan hospital during September and October. In October 2019, the Military World Games were held in Wuhan, and many athletes who returned home came with or developed COVID symptoms. The US has also been blamed through the roles of Peter Daszak and some scientists. The committee's report said they had uncovered evidence of how top scientists at the WIV and Dr Peter Daszak furthered that cover-up. It further said their actions include bullying other scientists who questioned whether the virus could have leaked from a lab; misleading the world about how a virus can be modified without being traced. The report suggested that Dr Peter Daszak should testify before the US Congress on his role. As Republicans claim, the report is based on "open-source information and includes published academic work, official PRC publications (both public and confidential), interviews, emails, and social media postings". In May, 18 scientists wrote a letter to the WHO, demanding a new investigation to confirm whether the coronavirus was leaked from the Wuhan lab or originated naturally. After Joe Biden took over as US President, the White House asked China to share data of the coronavirus and as expected China refused, and blamed the US for targeting it. On May 26, President Biden had announced a further investigation and asked the US Intelligence Committee to prepare a report in 90 days.

Lashing out at the letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing serious concern over politics of hate, signed by over 100 bureaucrats, 197 signatories called out the 'agenda-driven biased and politicised statements'. Stating that influenced governance amounts to anarchy, a total of 197 signatories consisting of 8 retired judges, 97 retired bureaucrats and 92 armed forces veterans, as 'concerned citizens', termed the letter calling out hate in politics as a 'political anti-Modi Government exercise'. "It is a repeated effort to draw attention to themselves as citizens with a higher sense of social purpose, whereas the reality is that this is a manifest political anti-Modi Government exercise which this group undertakes periodically in the belief that they can shape public opinion against the ruling dispensation," the letter read. 197 signatories call out hypocrisy in PM Modi's critics' open letter Declaring that the public will not be influenced by 'a self-styled Constitutional Conduct Group (CCG)'s calling for an end to the politics of hate, the panel wrote they cultivate sincere motivations. "This is a way for them to release their frustration that public opinion remains solidly behind Prime Minister Modi as recent state elections have shown," the letter stated. After meeting with PM Modi, Sikh delegation expresses gratitude; calls event 'historic' Calling out hypocrisy on the part of concerned citizens who choose not to speak up on all occasions and twisted events in the country but only when it is convenient to them, the signatories said, "these open letters repeat the same language, have the same tenor and use biased terms with clear ideological moorings speaks for itself. Strangely, one often notices a striking similarity between the phraseology of the CCG missives and utterances in the western media or by western agencies." PM Modi inaugurates joint conference of CMs, HC Chief Justices; CJI NV Ramana also present 'Unprincipled approach to issues' Citing 'unprecedented' West Bengal's post-poll violence that ensued after the declaration of the results on May 2, 2021, the letter called out 'silence of this so-called CCG'. "The same attitude shapes their reactions (or rather the lack of any reaction) to the multiple violent incidents in various states ruled by different political parties (premeditated attacks on peaceful processions during Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, and other sacred festivals in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and New Delhi), and targeted violation of human rights adversely affecting the livelihoods of the poor irrespective of their religion," the letter enumerated series of incidents that the CCG forgot to mention in their concern addressed to PM Modi. "Such studied omissions expose their attachment to "constitutional conduct"," the letter taunted. '...deliberate attempts to make an issue out of non-issues' The letter vouched for a contrasting reality as compared to the letter criticising PM Modi's 'politics of hate'. It read, "The reality is that instances of major communal violence have palpably decreased under the BJP government and this is appreciated by the public." While admitting that incidents of communal clash and mob violence cannot be 'entirely eradicated' from any society, 197 panellists to the letter said, "The double standards in assessing a situation, deliberate attempts to make an issue out of non-issues, distorted thinking on the challenges faced by the country, resort to bloated vocabulary to grab international attention, motivated tirades against the democratically elected governments, is a malaise of our society that the CCG reflects in its open letters." 'CCG should not give ideological cover to an anti-national outlook' Moreover, the letter outrightly mentioned that anti-national elements and ideologies must not be perceived merely as opposing ideologies. It is imperative to demarcate political differences with anti-India elements. "The CCG should not give ideological cover to an anti-national outlook as well as religious and left-wing extremism, which they seem to do," the letter noted. Sikh delegation lauds PM Modi after meeting him; 'India progressing under his leadership' 'Dramatic emergence of controversies relating to hijab' The signatories did not forget to mention the recent highly-controversial hijab row which originated from BJP-ruled Karnataka and said that the same was fueled dramatically and with mala fide intentions. "The dramatic emergence of controversies relating to hijab (long-established, and till now non-controversial as uniforms prescribed for students in educational institutions), halal certification etc. is the work of vested interests within the country wanting to keep the narrative alive of minority persecution, majoritarianism and Hindu nationalism under the present government," the letter said. 25 engagements, including meeting with 8 world leaders, in PM Modi's trip: Govt sources Such a narrative gets recognition and encouragement from international lobbies that want to halt India's progress, it added. Furthermore, adding that CCG members are concerned citizens who should free themselves from biases, the letter read, "Constructive criticism is an essential feature of democracy provided such criticism is not selective." One of the signatories to the letter, Praveen Dixit, IPS, former DGP Maharashtra, told Republic TV that the open letter addressing hate in politics was nothing but a 'tool kit'. Violence on Ram Navami was not given any heed by PM Modi's critics; "Violence was let loose, by whom? Again no talks about the people who are responsible for it, he said. ### Response:

Karnataka High Court The Karnataka High Court recently sought the response of the State government and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on a petition challenging the levy of property tax on unused/ shut buildings during the COVID-19 lockdown.Justice M Nagaprasanna of the High Court said that in the event any coercive action is taken by BBMP vis-a-vis subject matter of the petition, the petitioners' counsel can move the Court for relief.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here.The Court was hearing a petition filed by GT Cinemas Private Limited, which owns a shopping mall in the city. It was the petitioner's contention that municipal tax on dormant land and buildings during compulsory shutdown is not tax on their "use". The petitioner contended that their shopping mall was closed for several days during the lockdown in the financial years 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22. The petitioner further submitted that the food court and the cinema theatre that get the majority of footfall at the mall was put under extended lockdown."The levy of a municipal tax on that property even for the period of the lockdown would be a tax that is essentially confiscatory in nature as the return from that property during the period of the lockdown would have halted completely," the petition stated.It was further submitted that the petitioner would still incur numerous charges and expenses even when the shopping mall was shuttered during the lockdown.It was the petitioner's argument that levying tax on the petitioner's dormant building by the BBMP or the State Government would essentially amount to encroaching upon the power of the Parliament to authorise a levy on the capital value of assets. "Should the BBMP claim that it is entitled to levy property tax upon the Petitioners' dormant land and building even during the period of lockdown notwithstanding that the Petitioners' land and building was forbidden for use by the Central and the State Government during the lockdown, it would have essentially sought to tax the capital value or wealth represented by the Petitioners' land and building rather than tax the use of the land and building in pursuance of a freedom to use that land and building. Such a stance on the part of the BBMP or the State Government would essentially amount to it encroaching upon the power of the Parliament to authorise a levy on the capital value of assets (Entry 86, List I to Schedule VII of the Constitution)," the petition said.Therefore, petitioner sought a declaration that the that tax on land and building belonging to the petitioners during the period of lockdown imposed to curb Covid is arbitrary and violative of Article 14. As interim relief, the plea sought to restrain BBMP from taking any coercive action in respect of the liability towards the payment of property tax.The matter will be next heard on August 27. ### Response:

Amritsar (Punjab) [India], October 2 (ANI): The farmers had to bear the loss of most of their crops due to the untimely heavy rain early morning in Amritsar on Saturday."Proper arrangements were not made by the state government to shelter the sacks after the purchase of crops was postponed from October 1 to October 11. Hence most of the crops got drained," said a farmer.The farmers are trying to empty the gunny bags and drying the drained crops. According to the farmers, the government had scheduled to procure the crops on October 1, which was rescheduled to October 11, an evening before the procurement of crops. The farmers had already harvested their crops. Being unable to find an adequate place of storage, they brought their crops to the 'Mandis' to sell.Speaking to ANI, a farmer said, "Our crops have drained in rain. The government's rate on the crop was nearly Rs 1950 per quintal, but now when most of the crops are destroyed, the rate would come down to nearly half of it depending upon the condition of the crop."Another farmer requested the government to not wait for October 11 and procure the crops immediately. "I request the government to not wait for 9 more days and procure our crops immediately," said a farmer.A farmer whose crops were destroyed told ANI that huge promises were made by the Punjab government regarding the facilities provided for easy procurement of crops, but the rain busted the claims of the government. He also requested the government to make proper shades for the crops so that such incidents do not occur again.The farmers also demanded the repeal of the three farm laws. (ANI) ### Response:

HYDERABAD: Following the success of the first edition in 2020, the Government of Telangana, in collaboration with UNICEF, YuWaah and Inqui-lab Foundation today announced the launch of Telangana School Innovation Challenge 2021. The program was launched today by the Minister of Information Electronics & Communications, K.T.Rama Rao and Minister of Education, Sabitha Indra Reddy at Pragathi Bhavan, Hyderabad. UNICEF-YuWaah in partnership with Telangana State Innovation Cell (TSIC), Inqui-lab Foundation initiated the Telangana School Innovation Challenge last year, towards nurturing Design Thinking, Innovation and Entrepreneurial mindsets among young people. SIC is a one of its kind programs in the country catapulting Telangana state as the pioneer in promoting 21st century skills and design thinking for the teachers and students. The initiative owes its success to the unique and innovative SIC challenge management technology platform through which 25,000 government school students (Classes 6-10) and 5200 teachers were onboarded and engaged on UNICEF's UPSHIFT social innovation curriculum. Upon completion of their learning journeys, SIC received 7000 youth-led entrepreneurial solutions addressing social problems from across 33 districts of Telangana. This reinforced the state's vision of youth leadership by accelerating young people's capacities to solve real world challenges and emerge as solution providers, instead of solution seekers. Starting from October 2021, the program will include a host of activities from learning modules to activity-based problem solving, conceptualising innovative solutions for the chosen problem statements. The top innovation from each district across the state will be selected, which will culminate with a boot camp for the 33 finalists followed by the Grand Finale. This year the program aims to include Social Welfare schools, Tribal schools, Residential schools, and Private budget schools in addition to Government schools and consequently impact a larger set of students. All the finalists will receive incubation support and the top three winners win cash prizes. Launching the second edition of the challenge, KT Rama Rao, Honorable Minister of IT, Government of Telangana, said, "The Government of Telangana through TSIC has been upfront about innovation to begin from young age. For this, creating access to design thinking, problem-solving skills are the way to go. School Innovation Challenge is one such programmatic way to groom Govt. school children in making them self-reliant. This edition, TSIC along with Education Dept., UNICEF, and Inqui-Lab, aims at creating the access to Innovation for 50000 school children across the State" Announcing the launch of the second year of the innovation challenge, Education Minister Sabita Indra Reddy said, "We were delighted with the overwhelming response of 25,000 excited students participating in the first edition of the Telangana School Innovation Challenge. This year too we are happy to partner with UNICEF, YuWaah and Inqui-Lab Foundation to conduct the online ideation challenge across 5000+ middle and high schools in 33 districts of Telangana. The aim is to provide students, especially from non-residential local government & social welfare schools, a unique platform to present their thoughts and ideas for the future progress of their communities." Jayesh Ranjan, IAS, Principal Secretary to ITE&C said, "While School Innovation Challenge is a testimony to the decentralised way of creating Culture of Innovation, this year the focus would be to tap on the uncharted areas and be more inclusive of schools both demographically and geographically." Speaking of the program, Dr. Shanta Thoutam, Chief Innovation Officer to Government of Telangana, said, "TSIC has been consistently nurturing the culture of innovation in the state from school age. Through School Innovation Challenge, we sensitise the stakeholders of both Government and Private Budget Schools including Education Officers, Science Officers, & Teachers across the 33 districts who in turn will inculcate Design Thinking & Entrepreneurial mindset among students to solve pressing challenges of their localities.Speaking at the launch, John B. Trew, Adolescent Education & Skills Specialist, UNICEF Regional Office for South Asia, said, "Fostering a culture of innovation and problem solving from a young age is increasingly imperative in preparing our young people to handle the challenges that await them in the post-pandemic world. We are delighted to collaborate with TSIC and Inqui-Lab Foundation once again for this remarkable innovation challenge, designed to encourage students to work collectively in teams, equip themselves with the right knowledge through learning modules and come up with innovative and prudent solutions to issues faced by their respective communities." Sahithya Anumolu, Co-Founder, Inqui-Lab Foundation said, "We grateful for the opportunity to once again partner with the Government of Telangana, UNICEF and YuWaah to provide students in the state of Telangana with a platform to unleash their creative thoughts and ideas for the betterment of their communities. We hope to repeat the phenomenal success that we received from 2020 and encourage more students and teachers to avail of this unique learning and ideation opportunity." ### Response:

Almost eleven out of 57 seats are up for grabs for the Congress leaders across 15 states that will go to the polls on June 10. Keeping in mind the results of recently held Assembly polls, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), which is led by Congress, can get up to 13 seats. According to party sources, the Congress can get eight Rajya Sabha seats, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) can get three seats, and the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) can get one seat each. The states from which Congress can get Rajya Sabha seats include three in Rajasthan, two in Chhattisgarh, and one seat each in Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Madhya Pradesh. | Rajya Sabha polls: Will support any candidate chosen by Shiv Sena, says NCP's Sharad Pawar The names of probable Congress candidates for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls include Jairam Ramesh, Gulam Nabi Azad, P Chidambaram, Rajiv Shukla, Ajay Maken, Randeep Surjewala, Selja Kumari, Praveen Chakrabarty, Anand Sharma and Mukul Vasnik. Other aspirants include Milind Deora , Kuldeep Bishnoi, Pawan Khera , Tariq Anwar and Pramod Tewari . Meanwhile, there are some troublesome states that could well throw a challenge to the party leadership. Jharkhand juggling The JMM-led alliance has one seat in its kitty in Jharkhand. Ambiguity still prevails over whether Congress would be able to convince its senior ally in Jharkhand for a Congress candidate. As speculation was rife about an outsider bagging the seat, Jharkhand leader Furkan Ansari reached Delhi with his MLA son and some other MLAs to remind the party that it was "promised" for long and he should be sent to the Upper House. Jharkhand leaders met the state in charge, Avinash Pandey, who said that this was a part of the democratic process, and the final call would be taken by party high command. "There is democracy in our party, and everyone has a right to express their opinion, we are in alliance with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha(JMM) and we will pitch a candidate who is agreed by all. Last time we gave the Rajya Sabha seat to them and this time we expect that they will support our candidate. I have invited the Jharkhand Chief Minister to discuss a matter with the Congress president," Pandey added. The JMM has 30 while the Congress has 17 MLAs in the Assembly. Haryana's hesitation Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. He has been called again on Monday to seal the fate of several leaders who are eyeing a berth in Haryana. The state is witnessing a tight contest with leaders Randeep, Selja, and Kuldeep pitching themselves as the most suitable candidate. | Congress taskforce: Marg darshak mandal, house of Rajya Sabha discards or real change-makers? However, sources confirmed to India Today that it is highly possible that the candidate could be an outsider to not anger the state leaders who would be left out. Sources said that Hooda has already expressed his opinion and will follow the diktat of the party high command. Rajasthan rumbling The Congress has a total of 108 MLAs, including two former BSP legislators and thirteen independents, while the BJP has 71 seats and would need 11 more seats to win the second seat in Rajya Sabha. Sources said that Rajasthan could give a minority face in the three seats as the last time there wasn't anyone from the minority community. The underlining factor being that, regardless of the ambition of the leaders, the final decision has been left to Sonia Gandhi. Congress has 29 members and with nine members retiring, it is walking a tight rope. The tenures of political veterans like P Chidambaram and Jairam Ramesh are expiring and the challenge will be to balance the caste and regional equations. Jairam Ramesh is retiring from Karnataka and would be pitching for his return from the same state.

In alignment with the Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's visionary programme 'Mission Karmayogi', the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship today inaugurated a five-day self-defence training - 'Meri Suraksha, Meri Zimmedari'. The programme has been organised by the Sports, Physical Education, Fitness and Leisure Skills Council (SPEFL-SC) and has witnessed the participation of more than 50 women. Mission Karmayogi' by Shri Narendra Modi is a one of a kind initiative that focuses on the capacity building while modernizing the thinking and the approach of the government employees. This self-defence programme has been designed by SPEFL-SC based on the world's best fighting systems like Krav Maga, Kali, Silat, Wing Chun and others. The instructors are experts in teaching the world's best techniques along with situational awareness. These techniques have been designed by combat experts with 15 years of experience, and are easy to learn and execute under threat. While explaining the importance of such workshops, Shri Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said, 'Women's safety is the government's top priority, and with this self-defence programme, we hope to encourage women to enroll in such training modules to protect themselves from any kind of assault or threat. The ministry is committed to establishing platforms where women can learn how to defend themselves from self defence experts. Furthermore, it is critical to create a safer environment for women in order to ensure the safety and integrity of the country's female workforce, and this is a small step in the right direction. We hope this p ilot is a successful one and we are able to take these sessions to other ministries, departments, schools and organisations in a more structured and outcome based workshop.' Commenting on the initiative, Mr Tahsin Zahid, CEO, Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills Council, said, 'A safer environment for women is the need of the hour, initiatives like these are the step in the right direction. Self-defence should be encouraged among women to ensure that they are self-reliant when it comes to defendin g themselves in an event of a threat.' One of the women employees, expressed her gratitude for the workshop, 'Self-defence skills are vital for everyone, especially for wo rking women like us. Knowing that we have the capacity to defend ourselves makes us feel secure and self-reliant. It has been an enriching experience for all of us.' On the backdrop of an increase in crime against women, learning self-defence skills is the need of the hour for women to safeguard themselves. Being cautious is the key to being safe. Learning self-defence techniques will help women in becoming more aware, cautious and equipped in times of danger against these criminals. It will also help in mitigating the number of crimes against women. The training programme is aimed at equipping women with a safeguard mechanism to tackle threatening situations. The goal is to empower and enable them to protect themselves against real-life scenarios such as sexual assaults, kidnapping, molestation, bullying etc. The participants in the self defence programme are being taught to tackle multiple assault situations, especially mugging. Moreover, women are also being trained to counter knife and pistol-driven attacks with day-to-day objects that could be used as weapons against a potential killer. Furthermore, the training also includes tips on the defence against slaps, punches, street smartness and the usage of the Nirbhaya Self Defence Kit. The training programme was inaugurated by Shri Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, MSDE in the presence of Ms Anuradha Vemuri, Joint Secretary, MSDE, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Additional Secretary, MSDE, Ms Prabha Sharma, Under Secretary, MSDE and Shri Tahsin Zahid, CEO, Sports, Physical Education, Fitness & Leisure Skills Council (SPEFL-SC) With initiatives like these, MSDE is actively progressing towards creating a safer work environment for women. Additionally, to equip the participants with safety gear, the Nirbhaya Self Defence Kit will also be distributed to all participants along with the participation certificate. ### Response:

So now, it's the al Qaeda's turn to threaten. The language is violent in the extreme, warning of "explosives being tied to our bodies", including that of children. That doesn't say much about their protection of child rights, which is where this whole mess started, with Nupur Sharma's alleged remarks. And a mess it is, all due to the inability of television anchors and politicos to see beyond their ideological noses and TRPs. Don't dismiss this as a mere public relations campaign by terrorists or those supporting them. It's dangerous to the extreme in an age of DIY terror.It seems that a newly resuscitated Ayman al-Zawahiri is now directing himself against India. The al Qaeda's hatred of the 'West' is well-known. It is the anger against India that's relatively new. The AQIS's magazine name was changed from 'Nawa-i Afghan Jihad' to 'Nawa-e-Gazwah-e-Hind', clearly a refocus from Afghanistan to Kashmir.There is no way that the threat can be dismissed. Intelligence agencies will now have to use all their assets to keep abreast of the dangers.The key that will effectively short circuit most terror plans is a flat refusal of the Indian public and 'outragers' on social media to succumb to religious dividers.A strong statement a little way down the line by the Prime Minister will not just help, it's the key. Zawahiri Comes to LifeFirst, the missive itself. Dated 6 June, it carries an excess of energy in its threats, warning not only of explosive attacks and vengeance against 'saffron terrorists' in Delhi, Bombay, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, but also executions, hangings, imprisonment and being "bound with chains". The threat is not just unusual in its target but is also curiously delayed. True, the Nupur Sharma controversy erupted only days after she made the alleged statement in late May, and came to prominence only when Qatar, Iran and Kuwait summoned the Indian Envoy on 5 June. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) issued a statement of "respect for all religions" the same day. On 6 June, Pakistan summoned the charge d' affairs, and the same day, the al Qaeda woke up to life. This message is on the letterhead of the al Qaeda in the subcontinent - it seems to have missed out 'Indian' in the letterhead - a group created in 2014, by Ayman al-Zawahiri himself, and in a branch of the original. It had also claimed attacks in Pakistan in its original form as AQIS (Al Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent).India, Hindutva, Arab Flak: BJP Can't Distance Itself from the 'Fringe' AnymoreNow consider this. The fact that Zawahiri is alive was conclusively known only after a 22 February 2022 video where he praised Muskan Khan for her defiance of a hijab ban in Karanataka, hailing her for having "challenged a mob of Hindu polytheists with defiant slogans of takbeer [God is the Greatest]". He only then went on to down other Islamic countries - including Pakistan - for being puppets of the West, and offered no violence.Prior to this, videos in March were made up of clips, while another on the 9/11 anniversary last year seemed curiously disjointed, not even mentioning the return of the Taliban. An 858-page book does, however, reference Illyas Kashmiri, who is said to have planned the Mumbai attacks and was killed in 2011, and Asim Umar from Uttar Pradesh, who had led the AQIS. The newest one, however, had Zawahiri apparently in full flow, even if again rather late. Muskan's outburst was in early February. It seems, therefore, that a newly resuscitated Zawahiri is now directing himself against India.The Al Qaeda in the SubcontinentA UN report places Zawahiri and his team in Zabol, close to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Others are in and around Kabul. It is necessary to note that the al Qaeda and its arms operate under an umbrella of protection from the Taliban, who have, however, time and again stated that while it will extend hospitality, any terror attacks by the group will be strongly opposed, which was reiterated in a recent statement by Mullah Yakub, the Defence Minister and the son of Mullah Omar. But while the Taliban is no homogenous group and doesn't seem to have a central authority, it has actually never assisted the al Qaeda in its terror pursuits. The problem is that the al Qaeda itself, as the United Nations notes, has since been issuing statements promising attacks against the 'West', but not from Afghanistan.The al Qaeda's hatred of the 'West' is well-known. It is the anger against India that's relatively new. The AQIS, or 'AQS', if its new letterhead is to be followed, is relatively weak after its core was destroyed by the Afghan intelligence in 2015. It, however, seems to retain some 200-400-odd persons, headed by former spokesperson Osama Mahmood. The main worry? That its magazine name was changed from 'Nawa-i Afghan Jihad' to 'Nawa-e-Gazwah-e-Hind', clearly a refocus from Afghanistan to Kashmir, apparently on Zawahiri's call for "jihad" in Kashmir.The Threat UpfrontThere is no way at all that the threat can be dismissed. Whether it is actually from the al Qaeda leader on his own initiative or whether it's backed by forces who are using the 'Nupur Sharma' episode to full benefit, doesn't count in operational terms. Intelligence agencies will now have to use all their assets, both internal and external, to keep abreast of the threat. That will mean using contacts in the Taliban as well as with 'partner' countries who are as interested in looking for the whereabouts of the elusive Zawahiri. Remember that his death had been announced in late 2020, and there are many who still think he's no longer functional. Then there is the combing of all web-based communications - particularly the dark web - in trying to find messages that will alert agencies of a possible attack. It's more difficult than finding the proverbial needle in a massive haystack.India Faces Arab Flak: Should BJP Have Acted Against Nupur Sharma Sooner?It is the internal threat that is more worrying. The al Qaeda's cadres don't necessarily have to travel to India to carry out an attack. Given the recent trends in India - most particularly on social media and some television channels - that paint all Muslims as terrorists and goad them on religious matters, some radicalisation is imminent. At the time of writing, a car ran over pedestrians in Berlin, on a street where an Islamic State cadre had once used the same method to kill 12 people in 2016. So common has this become that a whole new action guide has been put out by the US Homeland Security. Worse is the use of heavier vehicles, such as a bus or a truck. In the present context, with Nupur Sharma alleging threats against her family, a hostile force has to launch only a minor attack against her that could lead to a severe communal blowback. It's hardly 'Mission Impossible'.Why India Should Issue a Strong StatementThe key that will effectively short circuit most terror plans is a flat refusal of the Indian public and 'outragers' on social media to succumb to religious dividers. Since that is a virtual impossibility, the media could lead, for instance, in highlighting incidents such as the denouncement by Muskan Khan's father of Zawahiri's call of support as "unwelcome", notwithstanding which local politicians continued to declare that the girl had 'outside support', deliberately pushing a conspiracy theory. There you have it: cause and unwanted effect. Apart from the media, the whole thing can be nipped in the bud if the government issues a strong statement of support for all religions, pointing out quite reasonably that all its development schemes are directed at all citizens everywhere.Certainly, that can't be done just yet given that there is no question of bowing down to pressure from the likes of the Organisation of Islamic States (OIC). But a strong statement a little way down the line will not just help, it's the key - especially when delivered with the usual charisma of a Prime Minister who has a following that world leaders envy. Hinduism doesn't have to be reinvented to please anyone. All that has to be done is to simply show it in its true light. And don't forget, for decades, none but a small handful of Indians joined the likes of the Islamic State or the al Qaeda; fewer still turned up in Kashmir. All that could change, and badly; and all of it put together can turn bigger than just a politically untenable situation.'BJP Should Apologise, Not India': Twitter Divided on Prophet Remarks Row(Dr Tara Kartha is a Distinguished Fellow at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS).

A day after wild elephant 'Rivaldo' was released into the forest following nearly three-month long captivity, the animal is showing normal behaviour in its new environment, the Tamil Nadu government said here on Tuesday. The elephant is radio-collared and the tracking exercise so far has revealed that it searched the area for food on its own and its behaviour is completely normal and in sync with that of a wild elephant, an official release here said. 'This is the first time an elephant in captivity in Tamil Nadu was released into the wild,' the government said adding the location of the animal's release offered it good sources of food and water. The initiative would be a model for re-settling wild animals, affected by human-animal conflicts, in their natural environment again, the government expressed confidence. On August 2, Rivaldo, which was lodged in a shelter in Nilgiris district was let out in the central region of the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve area of Tamil Nadu. The radio collar would help track the elephant's safety and health besides contributing to avoiding human-animal conflict, the release said. Though a wild elephant, Rivaldo often took food offered to it by tourists and it loitered in the populated areas of Nilgiris District for years and several attempts to capture it had failed. The animal's presence led to apprehensions among the local people over their safety. Prompted by such concerns, forest authorities brought it to a custom built shelter known as 'Krall' on May 5 and it was lodged there till its release. Medical treatment was provided to the approximately 35-year old animal which had injuries also to its trunk. ### Response:

Bengaluru, June 29 Condemning the beheading of a young tailor for supporting BJP leader Nupur Sharma, Karnataka BJP on Wednesday said that the country should emulate Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath model to tackle religious fundamentalism.While interacting with media, State BJP chief Nalin Kumar Kateel stated there is a need for the Yogi Adityanath model in the contemporary world. "There is a need for implementation of decisions taken by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath."The terrorist activity has started again in the country. The merciless killing of Hindu tailor is a matter of shame. The killing of Bajrang Dal activist Harsha in Karnataka had also taken place on the same lines. The killers of Harsha in Shivamogga district of the state had slit the throat of Harsha and sent a video of to his sister," Kateel said.There is foreign hand behind the Rajasthan incident. Such an incident had happened because of the appeasement policy of the Congress government in the state. Why is the Congress silent? It is important to know it's stand when incidents like this take place, he maintained."The Rajasthan incident is a challenge to humanity. To foment violence and murders are planned and society is broken. All this is being done in the name of jihad. The incidents which happened in Kashmir are taking place outside Jammu and Kashmir," Kateel stated.There is an attempt to cultivate jihadi mindset in the society. Those attempts must be nipped in the bud. There should be a fear among those mindsets who try to stage manage beheadings and other activities, he said.Meanwhile, Congress Opposition leader in Legislative Council B.K. Hariprasad has condemned the incident. In the pretext of this incident, issuing political statements is not good, he said. This is a country where people of all religions are living peacefully. Death must not be glorified."Earlier, a person called Shankar Lal had killed a minor. There was a murder taken place in Faridabad as the victim belonged to minority community. The five-year-old girl was killed in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir. All these developments must be considered and all these incidents must be condemned. There was no intolerance in India. These developments are coming forward after the arrival of Vishwa guru (PM Modi)A8 years ago. The civil society must condemn this," he stated.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor ### Response:

The British home secretary has signed an order authorizing the extradition of Julian Assange. The Wikileaks founder has been involved in a legal battle for more than a decade over the release of classified US data.British Home Secretary Priti Patel signed an order on Friday authorizing the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the United States. He is wanted in the US on 18 criminal charges, including breaking a spying law, relating to the release by Wikileaks of vast troves of confidential US military records and diplomatic cables that Washington said had put lives in danger. "On 17 June, following consideration by both the Magistrates Court and High Court, the extradition of Mr. Julian Assange to the US was ordered. Mr. Assange retains the normal 14-day right to appeal," the Home Office said in a statement. WikiLeaks, the organization founded by Assange, said in a tweet that the approval of the extradition was "a dark day for press freedom and for British democracy." WikiLeaks insisted that Assange "did nothing wrong" and was "being punished for doing his job," and indicated that the decision would be appealed. The organization slammed the British home secretary, saying: "It was in Priti Patel's power to do the right thing. Instead, she will forever be remembered as an accomplice of the United States in its agenda to turn investigative journalism into a criminal enterprise." Assange's wife Stella, a lawyer who married her husband in a prison ceremony in March, confirmed that he would appeal the decision. "We're going to fight this. We're going to use every appeal avenue," she said. Stella Assange called the decision a "travesty" and said she would "spend every waking hour fighting for Julian until he is free, until justice is served." Legal experts say the appeals process could involve months of court hearings. The US case against Assange The US has asked British authorities to extradite Assange so he can stand trial over thousands of secret diplomatic cables and military files that WikiLeaks published online in 2010. He faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse. American prosecutors allege Assange unlawfully helped US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning steal the classified documents that were later published, putting lives at risk. Assange denies any wrongdoing. His supporters allege the case against him is politically motivated. They argue he was acting as a journalist and as such is entitled to freedom of speech for publishing documents that exposed US military misconduct during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Earlier ruling rejected extradition A British judge had ruled Assange should not be deported, saying his mental health meant he would be at risk of suicide if convicted and held in a maximum-security prison. But this was overturned on an appeal after the US gave a package of assurances, including a pledge he could be transferred to Australia to serve any sentence. Legal wrangle starting in 2010 Assange was also the center of a separate legal saga that unfolded in 2010 when Sweden sought his extradition from Britain over allegations of sex crimes His supporters accused Stockholm of being part of a campaign by the US Pentagon to smear the Wikileaks founder, which the Swedish government denied. When Assange lost that case in 2012, he fled to the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he spent seven years. When he was finally dragged out of the diplomatic building in April 2019, he was jailed for breaching British bail conditions, even though the Swedish case had been dropped. Assange has been fighting extradition to the US since June that year and remains in London's high-security Belmarsh prison. mm, kb/aw (AFP,AP) ### Response:

Colors Tamil TV is gaining ground against Sun TV, Vijay TV, and Zee Tamil. Its shows and serials are also carving space in the hearts of its viewers. The serials Amman 3 and Valli Thirumanam, currently running on Colors Tamil TV, have gotten positive feedback from viewers. Another serial, Abhi Tailor, has joined the list. Basheer Shaik is directing the series. Reshma Muralidharan, best known for her work in the TV series Poove Poochudava, portrays the female protagonist Abhirami in Abhi Tailor, while her husband Madhan Pandian plays her lover. Reshma and Madhan, who are real-life lovers, make an excellent on-screen couple. Apart from the lead cast, Farina Azad played a vital role in Abhi Tailor. She appeared as Bhavani, Abhirami’s friend. According to recent reports, the actor has now left the show and Keerthi Vijay will soon take her position. Keerthi is well-known for her role as Pavithra in Vijay TV’s Raja Paarvai.

The past two years were spent facing the challenges of a pandemic, where Rony and her team strived to reach Israeli assistance to needy people and hospitals in India. During her stint, The Israel Embassy also organised an Advanced Entrepreneurship Programme in collaboration with IIT Delhi and the WEE Foundation to mentor 26 women entrepreneurs.Rony Yedidia-Clein, Deputy Chief of Mission of Embassy of Israel in IndiaRony's tenure ends in August and she will move to Cote d'Ivoire as Ambassador.

It helps build one's character and helps with leadership skills.After two years, I studied English Literature at Tel Aviv University. I also have an MA in American Studies, and another in Public Policy that has helped me very much in my career as a diplomat. I've been a diplomat for 28 years, and India is my fifth posting. I have been posted to some very exciting and interesting cities-Istanbul, Moscow, Boston, and London.I have two children, and together with my husband, we have six children-three boys and three girls. All our children are now grown and have families of their own, and are living around the world, most of them in Israel.HS: You came to India when the pandemic was at its peak. It must have been tough. Can you take us through these two years. RYC: As a diplomat, my job is to meet and get to know people and make friends. It's very difficult to do this on Zoom, where you right away get to business, and you don't have that extra time around the meeting to make a cup of coffee, talk to each other, or get to know each a little bit more.I think this was probably my biggest challenge over the past two years.We had a very interesting two years-it was an opportunity for us to do quite a lot with our Indian counterparts-working on bringing assistance to India during the harsh second wave, the health camps for women in underprivileged areas and more. HS: This year also marks 30 years of Indo-Israeli diplomatic ties. a big milestone. Can you throw light on some of the key developments, especially on collaborations in technology and startups? RYC: We have projects that are meant to help young Indian startups develop the kind of ecosystem we have in Israel and also help the Indian government work towards developing that ecosystem.Recently, we had a mentorship programme in Delhi for young women entrepreneurs mentored by an Israeli leader in tech, Nava Swersky, to help them build their businesses and products and push them in this world of innovation, which is sometimes a bit complicated to navigate. We are happy that we are able to bring in women who have succeeded in the Israeli startup scene to mentor women in India.Rony Yedidia-Clein, Deputy Chief of Mission of Embassy of Israel in India with Minister Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani. Photo courtesy: Rony Yedidia's Twitter feed.HS: How can India and Israel benefit from each other's strengths and expertise?RYC: Both countries have young and active populations. I think India has the capacity to build things Israel does not because it's a small country in comparison. Although, we always say, together, India and Israel make up 20 percent of the world or even more.India has the capacity to build things Israel cannot, while Israel has a lot of innovation, interesting ways of looking at things, and flexibility. We can bring together talents that can benefit the entire world.For example, we have an Indian company and an Israeli company working together in the UAE to produce cleaners for solar reflectors. For this, we are bringing together Israeli innovation and Indian capacity with UAE capital. It's important that we work together on ways to help the environment, fight climate change, and be sustainable for the entire world.HS: Can you detail any interesting experiences as part of your two-year stint in India?RYC: When I look back, I think of the huge operation in April 2021, where we brought in 60 tonnes of assistance. My colleagues and I were at the airport, working together with people from the Ministry of External Affairs to get it out as quickly and efficiently as possible to the people and hospitals that needed them.I've also had the privilege of visiting Rishikesh and meeting people in the ashram, and visiting Kerala and Puducherry-two beautiful places I fell in love with.HS: What are your thoughts on women's rights and gender equality?RYC: I have found incredibly strong women in India like Minister Smriti Irani. She recently wrote an article on women's reproductive rights in India, which I found very informative and enlightening.While there are some wonderful women In India as there are in Israel, both countries have a long way to go, before women's rights are fully realised.We both have problems with sexual harassment in the workplace and domestic violence that needs to be addressed properly, and both countries are working very hard on it.This is another area of cooperation between India and Israel-we have Mashav, which is our International Development arm in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that runs courses for women from around the world about addressing domestic violence, sexual harassment in the workplace, and all issues important for all of us to work on.HS: In your 28-year career as a diplomat, do you think you've had to work harder to reach where you are today? RYC: I think I probably have, because sometimes a woman is sort of discounted when she is trying to advance and attain a goal in her career. As a woman, I may not have achieved the goals that I could have achieved if I were a man. But on the other hand, I have been appointed ambassador of Cote d'Ivoire, and I am very proud of that.Also, over the past couple of years, and thanks largely to the foreign minister who is very feminist-minded, we have a woman as the head of the political and multilateral wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the first woman to reach this position. We also have several women who have been ambassadors, heads of mission, and deputy director generals.HS: Who have been your biggest inspirations.RYC: My greatest inspiration was my grandmother, a Doctor of Law and way ahead of her time. She was a judge from Germany and when she moved to Israel, she was a very strong parole officer, and a social worker. She is my role model. In my professional life, there are several women in the Ministry who have inspired me.HS: When you leave Delhi in August, what are you taking back with you?RYC: As charge d'affaires for many months, I was able to lead a capable and talented team at the embassy. Personally, it was an adventure for my husband and I to explore Delhi and other parts of the country and meet many people in this incredible country.Edited by Megha Reddy Rekha Balakrishnan ### Response:

Paris | President Emmanuel Macron is in the pole position to win reelection Sunday in France's presidential runoff, yet his lead over far-right rival Marine Le Pen depends on one major uncertainty: voters who decide to stay home.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict A victory in Sunday's runoff vote would make Macron the first French president in 20 years to win a second term. All opinion polls in recent days converge toward a victory for the 44-year-old pro-European centrist — yet the margin over his nationalist rival appears uncertain, varying from 6 to 15 percentage points, depending on the poll. Polls also forecast a possibly record-high number of people who either vote blank or stay at home and don't vote at all in this second and final round. The April 10 first-round vote eliminated 10 other presidential candidates. Who becomes France's next leader will largely depend on what people who backed those losing candidates do on Sunday. The question is a hard one, especially for leftist voters who dislike Macron but don't want to see Le Pen in power either. A second term for Macron relies in part on their mobilisation, prompting the French leader to issue multiple appeals to leftist voters in recent days. "Think about what British citizens were saying a few hours before Brexit or (people) in the United States before Trump's election happened: I'm not going, what's the point?' I can tell you that they regretted it the next day,” Macron warned this week on France 5 television. “So if you want to avoid the unthinkable ... choose for yourself,” he urged hesitant French voters. The two rivals both appeared combative in the final days before Sunday's election, including clashing Wednesday in a one-on-one televised debate. Macron argued that the loan Le Pen's party received in 2014 from a Czech-Russian bank made her unsuitable to deal with Moscow amid its invasion of Ukraine. He also said her plans to ban Muslim women in France from wearing headscarves in public would trigger “civil war” in the country that has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe. “When someone explains to you that Islam equals Islamism equals terrorism equals a problem, that is clearly called the far-right,” Macron declared Friday on France Inter radio. In his victory speech in 2017, Macron had promised to “do everything” during his five-year term so that the French “have no longer any reason to vote for the extremes.” Five years later, that challenge has not been met. Le Pen has consolidated her place on France's political scene, the result of a years-long effort to rebrand herself as less extreme. Le Pen's campaign this time has sought to appeal to voters struggling with surging food and energy prices amid the fallout of Russia's war in Ukraine. The 53-year-old candidate said bringing down the cost of living would be a top priority if she was elected as France's first woman president. She criticised Macron's “calamitous” presidency in her last rally in the northern town of Arras. “I'm not even mentioning immigration or security for which, I believe, every French person can only note the failure of the Macron's policies ... his economic record is also catastrophic,” she declared. Political analyst Marc Lazar, head of the History Center at Sciences Po, told the AP he thinks that Macron is going to win again. Le Pen "has this lack of credibility," he said. But if Macron is re-elected, "there is a big problem," he added. “A great number of the people who are going to vote for Macron, they are not voting for this programme, but because they reject Marine Le Pen.” He said that means Macron will face a “big level of mistrust” in the country. Macron has vowed to change the French economy to make it more independent while protecting social benefits at the same time. He said he will also keep pushing for a more powerful Europe. His first term was rocked by the yellow vest protests against social injustice, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. It notably forced Macron to delay a key pension reform, which he said he would relaunch soon after reelection, to gradually raise France's minimum retirement age from 62 to 65. He says that's the only way to keep benefits flowing to retirees. The French presidential election is also being closely watched abroad. In an opinion piece Thursday in several European newspapers, the centre-left leaders of Germany, Spain and Portugal urged French voters to choose him over his nationalist rival. They raised a warning about “populists and the extreme right” who hold Putin “as an ideological and political model, replicating his chauvinist ideas.” A Le Pen victory would be a “traumatic moment, not only for France, but for European Union and for international relationships, especially with the USA," Lazar said, noting that Le Pen "wants a distant relationship between France and the USA.” In any case, Sunday's winner will soon face another obstacle to be able to govern France: A legislative election in June will decide who controls a majority of seats in France's National Assembly. Already, the battles promise to be hard-fought. ### Response:

Live Streaming Of India Vs Cambodia, AFC Asian Cup 2023 Qualifiers Kolkata: Hello and Welcome to our live streaming details of India vs Cambodia, 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers - Round 3 Match Between India vs Cambodia football at Salt Lake Stadium . Skipper Sunil Chhetri will get a chance to bolster his tally of 80 international goals as the Indian team gears up to steamroll 171st ranked Cambodia on Wednesday in its bid to make a fifth appearance in AFC Cup tournament proper. With the next Asian Cup slated in late 2023 or early 2024 after the pull-out of China, Chhetri, who will complete 17 years in international football, might see this tournament as the 'final frontier' in his illustrious career. This is a tournament which gives India the best chance to qualify for the Continental trophy without much fuss but if there is a slip-up against lowly-ranked nation, Chhetri or coach Igor Stimac will have little room for justification. The Blue Tigers under Stimac did not have a perfect build-up to the continental showpiece, having lost all their three International friendlies arranged in the lead-up to the qualifiers. It's more than seven months since they won a match at International level -- a 3-0 win against Nepal in the SAFF Championship final on October 16, 2021. The recent results have proved to be a setback for the Stimac-coached side, which put up some gritty shows in the World Cup Qualifiers against Asian heavyweights Qatar (goalless draw) and Oman (1-2 loss after leading till 81st minute). Compared to Indian build-up, the 'Angkor Warriors', who have qualified for the Asian Cup only once 50 years back in 1972, come here with a 2-1 win over Timor-Leste in a home friendly. Back to playing at home turf after almost three years, the biggest plus for India would be the strong home support. AFC Asian Cup 2023 Qualifiers Live Streaming ### Response:

Toronto: The 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams is set to play in the National Bank Open, starting from August 8-14 in Toronto.It will be her first hard-court tournament in two years after she made her tennis return at the end of June by playing doubles in the Eastbourne tournament on grass court ahead of Wimbledon. She then played singles at Wimbledon, losing in the first round to France's Harmony Tan in a close three-set match. Serena Williams is scheduled to participate in the National Bank Open in Toronto, the first WTA 1000 event of the summer. She is using her protected ranking to enter the Toronto tournament Serena, a three-time champion in Toronto, last played there in 2019, where she made the final against Bianca Andreescu. The Canadian was also granted a wild card into this year's main draw. Serena hasn't officially announced whether she is playing at the U.S. Open, but it looks like she's attempting to continue her comeback at the Grand Slam. Led by World No 1 Iga Swiatek, Toronto will feature 41 of the top 43 ranked players. Given the tournament's strong entry list, which includes the full slate of the tour's Top 10, along with Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, Roland Garros runner-up Coco Gauff, Canada's own Leylah Fernandez and reigning champion Andreescu, the tournament's entry cutoff was high this year. No.43 Sara Sorribes Tormo was the last direct main-draw entrant. "When you read over that star-studded list, it's hard not to get excited about the WTA Tour making its return to Sobeys Stadium," tournament director Karl Hale said. "Not only is this one of the strongest, if not the strongest, player list we've ever submitted, but it's also the first time in three years that the National Bank Open returns to a full capacity. "We're thrilled that these players will have a chance to play in front of a packed house, and we're even happier for our fans who will get to watch tennis' very best at the 2022 edition of the National Bank Open."

Chandigarh | Foiling a major terror plot, four suspected Pakistan-linked terrorists on their way to Telangana to deliver explosives were nabbed in Haryana's Karnal on Thursday and arms, ammunition and IEDs were recovered from their vehicle, senior police officials said.Click here to get Latest Updates on Cars & Bikes They were allegedly in touch with a Pakistan-based man who is involved in terror activities and who used to send locations through an app to them to deliver explosives and weapons, Superintendent of Police of Karnal Ganga Ram Punia told reporters. Director General of Haryana Police P K Agrawal said the four were arrested in a joint operation carried out early morning by police forces of Haryana and Punjab based on intelligence inputs of central agencies. "In an intelligence-led operation, Punjab Police and Haryana Police arrested four persons today at Karnal with the recovery of 3 IEDs weighing 2.5 kg each and one pistol. Further investigation is on," the Punjab Police said in a tweet. The four -- all residents of Punjab -- were nabbed near Bastara toll plaza after four vehicles of Haryana Police intercepted them, Inspector General of Police of Karnal Range Satender Kumar Gupta said. "Three containers each weighing 2.5 kg suspected to contain RDX, a Pakistan-make pistol and 31 live cartridges, besides Rs 1.3 lakh in cash have been seized from the vehicle," Gupta told PTI over phone. After the vehicle was intercepted in Karnal, a bomb disposal squad and forensic experts reached the spot. A case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Arms Act and the Explosive Substances Act has been registered. The Haryana Police has constituted a special investigation team to conduct further probe in the matter. Punia told reporters that the four -- identified as Bhupinder Singh from village Bhatian in Ludhiana and Gurpreet Singh, Parminder Singh and Amandeep Singh from Vinijoke village in Zira, Ferozepur -- were headed to Adilabad in Telangana to deliver a consignment of explosives. "They were in touch with a Pakistan-based man Harvinder Singh Rinda, who is involved in terror activities and who used to send locations through an app to them to deliver explosives and weapons. Rinda used to drop weapons and explosives at a pre-designated location in the fields in Ferozepur with the help of drones," he said, adding "we are ascertaining the terrorist outfit with which they were associated". Punia said Gurpreet Singh, the key accused, had met Rajbir Singh, an associate of Rinda, in jail. In the FIR registered on Thursday, Rinda and Rajbir have also been named as accused. When Gurpreet was in Ludhiana jail, he came in contact with Rajbir. And Rajbir connected him to Rinda. Earlier too, the suspects had delivered explosives at Rinda's behest to various locations told by him, according to the FIR. "Rinda is involved in terror activities, he supplies arms and drugs and sends location to them and their task is to transport these explosives and arms...," he said. The four suspects, two of whom are stated to be brothers, were produced before a court in Karnal and remanded to 10-day police custody. The Punjab Police, in a statement later, said in a well-coordinated operation, they successfully averted a possible terrorist attack by giving a hot chase of over 300 km to the suspects and passing on inputs to their Haryana counterparts about their movement. Giving details of the incident, Punjab DGP V K Bhawra said that central agencies earlier shared an input that some suspects, who may be carrying explosive material and weapons, are moving in the border districts of Fazilka and Ferozepur. Subsequent to this input, police teams along with officials from central agencies were on a manhunt on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday to nab these suspects, he said in a statement. The Punjab DGP said that the suspects were found to be moving in the area of Ferozepur and later they started moving towards Ludhiana in a white Innova vehicle bearing Delhi registration number. "The suspects further took the National Highway and started moving towards Ambala, when acting promptly, Punjab Police shared the development with Haryana Police, which had managed to intercept the vehicle in Karnal and arrest the accused persons with the IEDs,” Bhawra said. "In their preliminary interrogation, accused persons have revealed that they were working for Pakistan-based gangster-turned-terrorist Harwinder Singh alias Rinda. Rinda, a notorious gangster active in Punjab, Chandigarh, Maharashtra and Haryana is a history-sheeter and wanted by the Punjab Police in heinous crimes including murder, contract killing, robbery, extortion and snatching," the DGP said. Haryana's Additional Director General of Police Sandeep Khirwar said the possibility of more people being involved in the case cannot be ruled out. When asked if the suspects are related to terror outfit Babbar Khalsa, Khirwar said, "Once facts in this regard come to fore, we will let you know." Asked where these explosives were intended to be used, Khirwar told PTI, “All these things are part of investigations." Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event in Rohtak, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said investigation in the case was underway. Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij told reporters, "Four terrorists were going in the Innova vehicle. We arrested them on the basis of inputs and arms and ammunition have been recovered. Further probe is on." Asked if the arms and ammunition they were transporting were dropped in the fields in Ferozepur in Punjab using a drone from Pakistan, the Haryana Police chief said earlier in the day, "That is what they have told, but these details we need to verify and establish the veracity of these facts." ### Response:

There are many menstrual cup users around the world who may or may not be aware of the right pick for them in terms of size. This confusion can be a big deterrent. But experts say that the mechanics of a menstrual cup are fairly simple, and it only needs a little getting used to. Buy Now Our best subscription plan now has a special price Still, if you are someone who finds them complicated, Dr Tanaya, aka Dr Cuterus, has some insightful videos on her Instagram account on the process of using a cup, and why it is not as scary as it sounds. She had previously busted a myth about the cup, explaining that contrary to popular beliefs, it is impossible for it to get stuck in the vagina or lost inside the uterus. Now, in one of her latest posts, she explained that people feeling confused about the size need to know that a menstrual cup broadly comes in three different sizes: extra small, small-medium and large. Large-sized cups are for those who have given birth to a baby, and it has come out through their birthing canal; their vagina may be naturally bigger to accommodate the baby.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday refused to interfere with the Andhra Pradesh Election Commissioner's decision to hold panchayat polls during the ongoing Covid-19 vaccination drive, as it dismissed the state government's appeal challenging the poll notification. A bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul observed that the appeal illustrated an 'ego battle' between the two authorities, and that the court cannot be a part of it. 'We cannot take over jobs of everyone. There are some political and administrative decisions. Some decisions are also taken by the Election Commission. This makes me feel this is not an issue, it is something else,' Justice Kaul observed. The bench, also comprising Justice Hrishikesh Roy, frowned upon employees of the state poll body for passing resolutions against the commissioner. 'Your behaviour is atrocious and undesirable,' the bench remarked. The Jagan Reddy government had approached the top court to put on hold the panchayat polls amid the vaccination drive going on in the state. Senior advocate Mukul Rohagti, appearing for the state, challenged the division bench order of the HC that allowed elections to be held. He informed the court that about 5 lakh people are to get vaccinated, including police personnel. 'How can such polls happen? Even Goa deferred elections,' Rohatgi argued. He said the state can commence elections on 1 March. 'By 28 January the frontline workers will be vaccinated. It is not for the HC to find out whether elections and vaccination can happen together or not. Can I tell the police to give up vaccine drive and conduct elections?' The bench, however, did not approve of the state's conduct, saying it approached the court whenever an election was proposed. 'The State Election Commission has to hold the elections,' it remarked. 'Ego problem between authorities' The staff of state election commission came under criticism for passing resolutions against the election commissioner. Rohatgi, however, distanced himself from the controversy, saying the state had nothing to do with it. 'Ego problem between two authorities is leading to lawlessness. We cannot allow lawlessness. How can resolutions be passed against N. Ramesh Kumar (the state election commissioner)?' the bench noted. Justice Kaul cited the example of Kerala to highlight that elections have taken place amid the pandemic. 'Even Kerala did and there is a spike there now, but we cannot say that polls were a reason for it,' the judge said. It went on to snub intervenors, including some doctors, who filed applications in support of the state government's appeal to defer the polls. 'All these intervenors are giving more credence to our views. All these doctors, bureaucrats make us believe in our order. We will dismiss this,' the bench said. ### Response:

State relief and rehabilitation minister Vijay Wadettiwar stirred up controversy on Sunday by saying that the state backward classes commission's report, based on which the Maratha reservation was given, was 'bogus'. While speaking at a rally of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Jalna, Wadettiwar said that the commission's report was unscientific. Maratha organisations have now demanded his resignation for the statement which has led to the disputes between communities. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member of the Legislative Council (MLC) and Maratha leader Vinayak Mete said, 'The statement by the minister is uncalled for and against the state culture. The Congress and Ashok Chavan who heads the cabinet sub-committee should clear the official stand or else take action against him [Wadettiwar].'

Ukraine - Transnistria, a breakaway Russian-backed territory in Moldova bordering on Ukraine, said on Saturday that there have been renewed attacks on its territory.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict Evacuees from the Azovstal steel plant arrive at a temporary accommodation center in Bezimenne. There were several explosions in the village of Voronkovo near the Ukrainian border during the night, the Interfax news agency reported, citing the region's Interior Ministry. "At least two drones flew over the military garrison in Voronkovo, four explosions were heard," the ministry said, adding that there had been no deaths or injuries. The information could not be independently verified. Transnistria borders the Odessa region of southern Ukraine. About 1,500 Russian soldiers are stationed there to monitor a ceasefire as well as old ammunition depots and weapons stores. The region has been rocked by attacks several times in recent weeks. Radio masts were blown up, the building of the local intelligence service in Tiraspol and an object of the Russian troops stationed there allegedly came under fire. Transnistrian separatists and Russia blame Ukraine for the attacks. Kyiv denies this, saying it as an attempt to inflame tensions in Ukraine's hinterland. A commander in Russia's war in Ukraine recently declared the creation of a corridor with access to Transnistria one of the goals of Russia's invasion. Russian attacks continue around the country Assault attempts took place around the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol. Elsewhere, things remained comparatively quiet overnight, according to Ukrainian sources early Saturday."In the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, eight attacks by the enemy were repelled on May 6, resulting in the destruction of three enemy tanks, eight artillery systems, seven armored military vehicles, one car and three units of engineer equipment," the Ukrainian general staff announced in its situation report on Saturday. Donetsk and Luhansk together make up the Donbass region in the far east of Ukraine bordering Russia. Russia has refocused its attacks in this region where Russian separatists have been battling Ukrainian government forces since 2014.Assault attempts had also taken place mainly around the Azovstal steelworks in the embattled south-eastern port city of Mariupol, according to the Ukrainian military.On other sections of the front, which had been heavily contested in recent weeks, Russian activity was limited to military reconnaissance and artillery fire, according to the report. In the region of Izyum, for example, from where Russia is planning a major advance towards Kramatorsk in order to encircle Ukrainian units in the Donbass region, drones were used to detect defensive positions.Kharkiv, a city of over 1 million people, and localities outside Donetsk were targeted by artillery attacks. The Russian air force was also deployed. Ground attacks, however, were not reported. This information could not be independently verified. ### Response:

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday said that it was "extremely disappointed" with the way negotiations are going on between the Centre and farmers over the newly-enacted agriculture laws. Hearing a batch of petitions challenging the constitutional validity of the three farm laws, the apex court asked the Centre if the contentious legislations can be put on hold for some time. "We don't know what negotiations are going on? We don't know whether you are part of the solution or part of the problem. We are sorry to say that the Centre has not been able to solve the problem and the farmers' agitation. Can the farm laws be put on hold for the time being?" the SC bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde asked the Centre. Responding to the SC's remarks, Attorney General KK Venugopal said that the government is ready for clause by clause discussion regarding the grievances of the farmers over the laws. "Farmers demanding the withdrawal of the three laws that is the sticking point... We want a solution. We had agreed for eight amendments. In the next round we will continue discussions on that," Venugopal, who is representing the Centre, said. Meanwhile, senior advocate Dushyant Dave appearing for one of the farmers' unions asked as to how can such important laws be passed through a voice vote in Parliament. "If the Centre is serious, then it can hold a joint session of Parliament. Why is the govt shying away from it," he added. 'SC will stay laws if Centre doesn't do' The CJI warned that if the Central government does not want to keep the three laws in abeyance, the apex court will put a stay on their implementation. "You tell us whether the government is going to put the farm laws on hold or we will do this," the SC said. On this, Venugopal said that a law cannot be stayed unless court finds that it violates fundamental rights or constitutional schemes. Bobde, however, said that they were not talking about the repeal of the laws at the moment, saying that "this is a very delicate situation". The SC also reiterated the need for a committee on farm laws, saying it will stop their implementation if the panel advises to do so. "Farmers are protesting against laws, let them tell their objections to the committee; we may accept its recommendation," said the bench. The apex court said that it was proposing to pass an order to facilitate the solution to farm laws problem through a committee to be appointed by it, and also considering to hold the implementation of the legislations till further orders. 'Not a single plea in favour of farm laws' The CJI said that there is not a single petition before the top court which says that the farm laws are beneficial to farmers, adding that several states are rebelling against the legislations. "The situation is only worsening. Some people have committed suicide, old people and women are a part of the agitation. They are out in the cold. We also have an apprehension that something dangerous could happen. Each one of us will be responsible if something goes wrong. We don't want anybody's blood on our hands," said the CJI. "We don't know whether people are observing social distancing but we are concerned about them (farmers) getting food and water," the apex court said. The top court further said that farmers can continue their protest but asked if they can shift to some other sites as people are facing inconvenience. It was hearing a petition seeking immediate removal of farmers protesting against the contentious farm laws on Delhi borders for over a month now. Farmers' stir Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana have been protesting against the new farm laws at various border points of Delhi since November 26. The Centre and farm union leaders have, so far, held eight rounds of talks to end the impasse over the laws but failed to achieve any major breakthrough. The two sides are scheduled to hold another round of meeting on January 15. During the last hearing, the Centre had told the Supreme Court that "healthy discussions" were going with the farmer unions over the issues related to the farm laws. ### Response:

Dmitry Muratov, editor of the investigative newspaper Novaya Gazeta, has said that while he was on a train he was splashed with red paint containing acetone by an attacker who told him, "this is for you from our boys." Muratov at the time posted photographs of his face, chest and hands covered in red oil paint, which he said badly burned his eyes because of the acetone. The New York Times and Washington Post both reported on Thursday that US intelligence agencies had concluded that Russian intelligence operatives orchestrated the attack, which took place on a Moscow-Samara train. 10:06 (IST) 29 Apr 2022 US House passes military lend-lease bill to speed Ukraine aid The US House gave final passage Thursday to legislation that would streamline a World War II-era military lend-lease program to more quickly provide Ukraine and other Eastern European countries with American equipment to fight the Russian invasion. The measure, which passed by an overwhelming 417-10 vote, now goes to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign into law. The bill is the latest from Congress, which is steadily churning out resolutions and resources to counter Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and help the country and its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fight back. The Biden administration announced Thursday it will seek another $30 billion from Congress in military and humanitarian aid, on top of the nearly $14 billion Congress approved last month to help Ukraine fight the war.

All around Demydiv, a village north of Kyiv, Ukraine, residents have been grappling with the aftermath of a severe flood, which under ordinary circumstances would have been yet another misfortune for a people under attack by Russia.

The Ukrainians flooded the village intentionally, along with a vast expanse of fields and bogs around it, creating a quagmire that thwarted a Russian tank assault on Kyiv and bought the army precious time to prepare defenses.

There has been considerable speculation on whether the fiscal targets will be altered due to the evolving conditions. The government, however, is quite sure of the numbers and has not spoken about the need to revisit them. Let's see how things have changed since February. The course and length of the war are critical. The longer the conflict continues the greater will be the impact. While the government has adeptly managed the fiscal numbers in the last couple of years, this year will be particularly challenging considering the nature of the shock.

(AP, file) Russia withdrew its invading forces from near Kyiv in early April after failing to capture the city, which has since hosted visits by top officials from the United States and its European allies. But Thursday's blasts, heard soon after Guterres completed talks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, highlighted concerns that Kyiv still remains vulnerable to Russian heavy weaponry. "There was an attack on Kyiv ... it shocked me, not because I'm here but because Kyiv is a sacred city for Ukrainians and Russians alike," Guterres told Portuguese broadcaster RTP when asked about the blasts. Zelenskyy said the blasts "prove that we must not drop our vigilance. We must not think that the war is over." Guterres' discussions with Zelenskyy focused in part on evacuating Ukrainian fighters and civilians holed up in a steel plant in the besieged southeastern city of Mariupol, Russia's main target in the eastern Donbas region. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to UN and Red Cross involvement in evacuating the plant during talks in Moscow with Guterres on Tuesday. ### Response:

TRS working president and Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao (KTR) on Monday described as 'tokenism' the NDA's decision to field a tribal candidate for the presidential election, and said the Modi government has done nothing for the uplift of the community in the last eight years. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is supporting the Opposition's candidate Yashwant Sinha to uphold the constitutional values which are under attack in the Modi regime, he said. The TRS leader was in the national capital to extend support to Sinha, who filed his nomination papers in the Parliament House on Monday. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has fielded tribal leader and former Jharkhand governor Droupadi Murmu as its candidate in the presidential poll to be held on July 18. 'We don't believe in tokenism. It is not about Murmu's candidature. She represents a party that is heavily reliant on unconstitutional practices. Therefore, we are vehemently opposing the BJP candidate,' Rao told reporters. He alleged that the Modi government has been abusing all constitutional offices and there is a need to stop this. 'Someone has to raise a voice against this,' he said. Even the plight of Dalits has not changed much after Ram Nath Kovind, a member of the community, became the President, he added. Stating that BJP has not done anything for the welfare of the tribal community in the last eight years, the TRS leader said a tribal university was promised for Telangana as part of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act but it has not seen the light of the day yet. Besides, the Telangana government had requested the Centre to increase the reservation for tribal people in the state due to the increase in their population. 'A resolution was passed in the assembly four years back but the Centre has not accepted this request,' he said. Rao also said that the NDA government through an ordinance forcefully took away seven blocks from Telangana which had more than 90 percent tribal population. 'We don't believe in tokenism. We don't have any choice but to support Yashwant Sinhaji who has been supported by all Opposition parties. We are hopeful that he will be elected with (the support of) a lot of like-minded voters,' he said. On the Maharashtra political crisis, the TRS working president said the Modi government has been successful in pulling down democratically elected governments in eight states, including Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. He complained that the central government has not done enough for Telangana despite the state government contributing a major share in the country's growth annually. 'We are the fourth largest contributor to the country's GDP. The state has constructed the world's largest lift irrigation project Kaleshwaram. What has the Modi government contributed in return to Telangana in the last eight years? Let the Modi government bring out a white paper on this,' he said. ### Response:

By Express News Service KOZHIKODE: The march led by the Students Federation of India (SFI) workers towards Rahul Gandhi MP's office at Kalpetta, Wayanad turned violent on Friday afternoon. The workers barged into the office and smashed the door and windows of the building. The march was against the non-intervention of the MP in the eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) issue which is now raging in Wayanad, a hilly district with large tracts of forests. The SFI students managed to reach inside the MP office overcoming the police and allegedly smashed window panes and destroyed furniture. In the melee, a staff at the MP's office, Augustine was injured. The SFI workers had a clash with police officers also, who reached the spot to control the situation. Police lathi-charged the protesters and took a few in custody. Many students had suffered injuries. The law and order situation has been controlled by Kalpetta DySP Sunil MD. Following the incident, Congress workers thronged the spot and raised slogans against the police inaction. Soon, DYFI-SFI workers also joined and the two parties stood on either sides creating tense situation. Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan sharply reacted to the incident and said the attack showed lawlessness and "goondaism". "Ghastly attack by SFI goons at Rahul Gandhi's MP Office at Wayanad. It is lawlessness and goondaism. CPM has turned into an organised mafia. Strongly Condemning the attack," the Congress leader tweeted. The Congress Wayanad DCC president ND Appachan too criticised CPM and DYFI saying that those parties are responsible for the destruction at MP office and blamed the police for failing to ensure law and order during the march. Meanwhile, DYFI district leadership condemned the police action against the SFI protesters. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly condemned the attack on Rahul Gandhi's office at Wayanad by SFI activists. The CM assured that the government will take strong action against those responsible for the crime. "Here in Kerala, we have the freedom to express opinions and protest democratically. But such protests turning into violence is an undesirable trend. The government will take stringent action against the culprits," Pinarayi said in a statement. The CPM leadership too rejected the attack on Rahul Gandhi's office by SFI activists. Distancing themselves from the violence, LDF convener EP Jayarajan said it is not an agitation to be taken up by the SFI. ### Response:
