The Chintan Shivir at Udaipur between May 13 and May 16 will be historic in many ways in the backdrop of similar historic gatherings at Simla, Panchmarhi, Bengaluru et al. Each of those came at critical moments and the outcomes invariably contributed to successful strides in electoral politics. The remarkable success of structuring the UPA however led to several crises in the latter part of the ten years in power. Some of the stress might have come from within due to unexpected fallout of far reaching decisions but most of it came from the impetus given to disruptive politics by forces who felt inadequate in challenging the social safety network (DBT, NREGA, NRHM, RTE et al) and social empowerment (RTI, Panchayati Raj) by the UPA and therefore sought to raise bogeys of corruption (2G, coal allocations) which ultimately failed the test of judicial scrutiny but not before causing immeasurable damage to the reputation of leaders and derailing economic growth. That drag continued from state elections (Delhi) to the national elections in 2014 but with the additional flavour of majoritarian aspirations. Thus, as we in the Congress prepare to recapture lost political ground, we have a heavy backlog of material to respond to and convincingly expose. But the most urgent battle is for the hearts and mind of our people to keep the Idea of India alive. The Udaipur conclave is thus as much about our future as a political party as indeed about how we can help the country in these testing times. We are now faced with a peculiar Review & Reflection at Udaipur The Chintan Shivir is neither meant to keep party ranks busy nor to write the party manifesto or to coin clever slogans, writes former Union Minister Salman Khurshid combination of big money and doctored minds, not to speak of massive propaganda machines. Economic distress and snowballing prices have taken the back seat. It is in this situation that we have turned to serious reflection in Udaipur to refresh our resolve and sharpen our strategy. Around 400 carefully picked leaders and party workers will attend the Shivir, divided into six groups led by panels on Political affairs, Agriculture, Social Justice & Empowerment, Economics, Youth and Organisation.Inevitably, the political panel will be the cutting edge for the party's endeavour to be fighting fit for 2024. This effort will be vigorously supported with thought content by the Social Justice, Economics and Agriculture panels. The Youth panel will attempt to capture the imagination and ambitions of the youth.Our experience tells us that organisational strength is the core of political campaigns and here specific commitment to inclusive participation of all communities equitably, especially those considered disadvantaged socially and politically, and fortified with state-of-the-art communications and modern electoral machines will challenge the incumbents in office.Amongst the most betrayed citizens in recent years are the farmers and farm sector workers. They are also the custodians of a sector that awaits justice despite being providers of food to the entire population and yet most vulnerable to the market economy. The agriculture panel will look at correcting the wrongs that have burdened the sector because of institutional myopia and neglect.The Economics panel has its job cut out, given the grim economy. The Political and the Social Justice panels will attempt to deal with issues that are deliberately raised by the ruling party and their collaborators periodically to obfuscate their failures on the governance front. Some of those can be very sensitive but turning a blind eye to them has done us little good in the past.The purpose of the Shivir is not to write the manifesto for the state elections in the next two years and the General Elections in 2024 but to examine issues in depth and relate them with the prevailing thinking of the voter. Opinions that are inconsistent with our ideology will need preparation of antidotes.As we emerge from frank deliberations, the Congress party's message based not on empty slogans and platitudes but seriously analysed propositions of substance will hopefully reach the masses and opinion makers in society. This is not just another exercise to keep the ranks busy but a defining moment in our history. The Congress aims to participate in a nationwide conversation for which the agenda will be set at Udaipur. It will also be an opportunity to show solidarity with our leadership who have with courage and dedication steered us through difficult times.(The writer is a former External Affairs Minister, lawyer and prominent INC leader)(This was first published in National Herald on Sunday)Sonia Gandhi to address tribals in Rajasthan after conclusion of AICC's 'Sankalp Chintan Shivir' ### Response: | Congress 'Chintan Shivir' at Udaipur not meant to prepare manifesto or coin slogans but to review & reflect | 815,473 |

The company continues to build on strong momentum and is using its large size to win mega deals of more than $1 billion. We are confident that it will continue to drive growth by focusing on these mega deals." "The margins are slightly below expectations and a key reason could be a high attrition rate of 17.4 per cent. We expect the attrition rate to stay elevated over the next year as the demand for software engineers is very robust. Overall, it is comforting to see that the global demand environment remains robust and TCS is continuing to deliver on its growth targets. The top-of-the-pyramid in the global IT services industry has now got well defined and TCS is a well-established part of it," Agarwal said.

Flipping on a classic film noir is a great way to get in the mood on a dark and stormy night. Here are four movies to get you started. Watching a classic film noir is a great way to spend a cozy evening at home (stock image). Is the weather ruining your evening plans, or do you just need a chill night at home?You can stay in and still have an adventure with a trip down movie history lane - and film noir is a great place to begin. Film noir is a cinematic style that had its Hollywood heyday in gritty crime dramas from the 1940s and 1950s. The influence of the cinematic movement may be felt to this day, with many elements and references incorporated into modern action movies. You may even get that familiar "I've seen this before" feeling when watching the old films - and chances are, you have. That whole dark aesthetic and atmosphere in the latest Batman film? Yup, that's noir. With gorgeous lighting, gripping plots, and terrific one-liners, classic noir has a style and feel all its own.Don't know where to begin? Dive into the world of noir with some of these recommended flicks. In a Lonely Place (1950) Gloria Grahame and Humphrey Bogart star as Laurel Gray and Dixon Steele in Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place. Turn out the lights and pour yourself a big glass of brandy as you settle in for Nicholas Ray's haunting 1950 masterpiece, In a Lonely Place.The film centers around brilliant but self-destructive Hollywood screenwriter Dixon "Dix" Steele, played by none other than Humphrey Bogart. One day, the beautiful and enigmatic Laurel Gray, played by Gloria Grahame, moves in across the way. Just as Dix's luck seems to look up, murder creeps in to complicate things. The story takes place largely within Dix and Laurel's shared apartment complex. But as ecstasy and bliss turn to jealousy and suspicion, what initially feels like a welcome escape from the outer world slowly begins to grow claustrophobic.The brutally honest portrayal of a relationship turned sour feels more real than many on-screen romances of the time - and no matter how devastating, you won't be able to turn your eyes away. Sunset Boulevard (1950) William Holden and Gloria Swanson star in Billy Wilder's 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. Another story about the inner workings of Hollywood is renowned director Billy Wilder's classic, Sunset Boulevard. The film opens with Joe Gillis, played by William Holden, floating face-down in a pool. As is common in noir, the story is narrated in a flashback - this time, by a dead man.The action begins six months prior. Joe, a struggling screenwriter, is trying to escape two men who want to impound his car when he takes refuge in an apparently abandoned mansion. There, he meets one of the greatest stars of silent cinema, Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson. Fortune finally appears to shine on the young writer, but as is often the case in life, all that glitters is not gold.Centering on the shift from silent to talking film, and those left behind, Sunset Boulevard is a love song to the world of cinema. There are so many Easter eggs to discover, including cameos and roles filled by actual silent movie legends. Film fans may even recognize the pool in the opening scene from the iconic 1955 James Dean movie Rebel Without a Cause!But if you're new to classic movies, don't fear. Sunset Boulevard is a great place to begin your journey, and the story will keep you hooked from start to finish. Laura (1944) Gene Tierney plays Laura in the 1944 film of the same name, directed by Otto Preminger. For movie lovers who like a good whodunit, look no further than the cozy 1944 classic Laura, directed by Otto Preminger.NYPD Detective Mark McPherson, played by Dana Andrews, is called in to investigate the death of a beautiful advertising executive named Laura Hunt.He interviews the men in love with Laura - and even develops a strange fascination with the dead woman - before things take a twist. While Andrews' character falls a little flat, Gene Tierney shines as the charismatic, ambitious Laura - a young woman who not only works her way up the career ladder by strength of her own talent and industriousness, but also has a heart of gold. When it comes to the representation of women, classic noir isn't exactly progressive by today's standards. Women were often portrayed either as cunning femmes fatales who use sex to manipulate men, or as long-suffering romantics who happily sacrifice their own needs for men who mistreat them. Laura stands out as a strong-willed female protagonist who actually feels like a real person - and it's a movie you can watch over and over. The Third Man (1949) Carol Reed's The Third Man, starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles, is considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Set amid the ruins of postwar Vienna, Carol Reed's The Third Man, first released in 1949, is considered one of the greatest movies of all time. Based on a story by British author Graham Greene, the action revolves around American writer Holly Martins, played by Joseph Cotten, who arrives in the Austrian capital to meet his best friend Harry Lime - only to find that Harry is already dead.The British police are convinced that Harry, portrayed by the one and only Orson Welles, was involved in some shady business, but Holly is dead set on clearing his friend's name and finding his killer. He bumbles through Vienna, encountering Harry's bizarre friends, mysterious acquaintances, and fiercely loyal girlfriend. The beautiful European facades reduced to rubble create the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable mystery. With wild camera angles, iconic lines, a twisting plot, and music you'll never forget, The Third Man is an absolute must-see. Next time the rain pours and the thunder rolls, put on one of these movies, and you're sure to have a night to remember. ### Response: | Film noir: The best classic movies for a dark and stormy night | 955,560 |

J&K L-G Manoj Sinha said Thursday that he is 'looking into the facts' related to the alleged gunfight on the outskirts of Srinagar city late last month in which security forces killed three youths who, they claimed, were 'militants'. 'I want to say this with all responsibility that if anything is found suspicious in the matter, I will definitely get it probed,'' Sinha said. He was responding to questions from reporters during an interaction to announce a scheme to boost industry in the Union Territory with an outlay of Rs 28,400 crore. The L-G's comments come days after the families of the three youths killed in Lawaypora in the early hours of December 30 alleged that the incident was a 'staged gunfight' and that their children were innocent. The incident happened four days after J&K Police filed a chargesheet against an Army officer and two civilians over the killing of three labourers from Rajouri in another 'encounter' at Shopian in July. Sinha, however, said the administration needs to 'maintain a fine balance' to ensure that 'the morale of security forces' is not lowered since 'Jammu and Kashmir is a sensitive Union Territory'. 'All the details have come to me and I am looking into them. You will get an appropriate answer at the appropriate time,'' he said. According to police, the three youths — Zubair Ahmad Lone (20) of Turkwangam in Shopian, and Athar Mushtaq (16) and Ajaz Maqbool (22) of Pulwama — were killed in an operation launched by the Army based on inputs. The families, however, said the youths had gone to Srinagar for some work. While Zubair's two brothers are working in J-K Police, Ajaz was the son of a policeman. 'My brother was home that day (December 29) till 2 pm. How could he become a militant within two hours (when the alleged gunfight started)? There was no record with any security agency against him. We want a probe. There was a similar incident in Shopian. There also they claimed to have recovered weapons from the dead militants. But they, too, turned out to be civilians,' said Mohammad Shafi Lone, brother of Zubair. The families have also demanded the return of the bodies of the youths. 'I want justice. I don't need money. I only want the body of my son. He was only 16,' said Mushtaq Ahmad, father of Athar Mushtaq. On January 4, J-K Police released two videos on Twitter that purportedly showed soldiers making announcements and asking the three youths 'to surrender'. However, while GoC (Kilo Force) H S Sahi said that when given the option to 'surrender, the militants opened fire', the videos do not include the sound of any bullet being fired or any other response. Replying to another question about restoration of 4G mobile data services in J&K, Sinha said that a court committee is examining the issue. 'Hopefully, there will be good news soon in the coming days,' he said. ### Response: | Looking into facts of Srinagar gunfight that killed 3, says J&K L-G | 2,290,431 |

Mumbai: A special POCSO court on Friday awarded death sentence to a 33-year-old man in connection with the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl in 2019. This is the second death sentence pronounced by the same court in the last 48 hours. Yesterday, the same Additional Sessions Judge HC Shende had awarded the death penalty to a man accused of raping and murdering a 34-year-old woman in the Sakinaka area last September. The family of the nine-year-old girl had also demanded death penalty for the accused, Vadivel alias Gundappa Chintambi Devendra. Earlier this week, the court had found him guilty. Observing that Vadivel was a threat to society, special public prosecutor Vaibhav Bagade had demanded death sentence. As per the TOI report, this was Vadivel's second conviction in POCSO case. 2019 Juhu Rape And Murder Case On April 4, 2019, a nine-year-old girl was allegedly raped and killed by a man in Vile Parle area in Mumbai.

Pune, Apr 27 (PTI) A 39-year-old prison inmate allegedly attacked and injured an official inside the central jail in Maharashtra’s Kolhapur district on Wednesday, an official said. The incident took place at Kalamba central prison, where jail superintendent Chandramani Indulkar was attacked by inmate Sanjay Mishra while he was doing rounds of the yard, the official said. Mishra, a murder convict, has a history of attacking jail personnel and fellow inmates, he said. “Mishra was earlier lodged in a jail in Ratnagiri, where he attacked jail staff. He was shifted to Kalamba jail in 2021. A newly inducted inmate had recently complained of misbehaviour by Mishra and we were planning to issue a reprimand,” Indulkar said. Mishra had refuted the allegation and was angry about being issued a memo, he said. “When I was on my rounds in the prison yard, Mishra suddenly jumped a row and attacked me with a piece of tin sheet. I sustained minor scratches on my neck and hand while resisting the attack,” the jail superintendent said. The police are in the process of registering a case against the accused inmate, he added.

Mumbai may have to run for cover once again, with COVID-19 cases rising. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has stated that the mask mandate may come in if cases continue to rise. Currently, the CM has stated that though it is not mandatory to wear a mask as yet, it is highly recommended. When masks were made voluntary some months ago, to cheers all around, this paper had highlighted how Coronavirus is an evolving situation. We can and should expect rollbacks to earlier more stringent behaviour given that if there was one certainty about the virus, it was its uncertainty. More importantly, if there is a call for going back to past mandates, it is vital we adhere, rather than stand foolishly and dangerously obdurate. Just like some people ‘got used to face coverings’ during COVID, most were relieved and got used to no face covering. We may have to shed that comfortable tag and go back, given that nobody wants an explosion of cases once again. While there is divided opinion about the fourth wave, no expert has definitively ruled out any possibility or any eventuality. It is good if we start wearing our masks once again, just to see if we can arrest this rise and start seeing happy dips in numbers once again. If we have not been wearing masks at all, at least begin with a few hours indoors, especially in closed air-conditioned spaces, talking to strangers inside stores and readying ourselves for perhaps longer hours and a mandate, though like most we, too, are hoping this will not happen. Let us try and see if we can start flattening the hill on the graph through masks, hand washing and distance, in fact try to restrict big gatherings to some extent. Let us act now, we do not want that trickle to get to a flood. ### Response: | Wear masks, it's your turn to flatten the curve | 1,024,457 |

Shillong: The Meghalaya government on Friday conducted its first meeting after the formation of regional committees to discuss the differences and disputes over the Assam-Meghalaya border. The Deputy Commissioners (DC) were asked to present their findings and present micro details about the villages, and the different aspects of these villages. Each of the committees where the member secretaries are the DC which is Ri- Bhoi, West Khasi Hills and Jaintia Hills (particularly East Jaintia Hills) reports were given. ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said the chairmen of these committees: Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong, Cabinet Ministers Renikton Lyngdoh and Snaiwbhalang Dhar, also attended the meeting. "We got to see and also got much more details. More exercise needs to be done because there are many more other factors. Today's meeting was just to take forward the entire process of finding an amicable solution to the border differences between Assam-Meghalaya," said Sangma. After doing their homework, the govt will have two to three sittings with these regional committees. The chief minister added that these committees would also have their respective sittings. : Situation along Assam-Meghalaya border continues to be tense ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW "Once the Assembly session is over, there may be joint meetings and joint visits by those regional committees" added Sangma. Asked what were the findings in the report submitted, Sangma said that there were no findings as such, rather, there were just reports on the current situation. The report had micro details, which goes into the different kinds of communities that are settled, the number of villages, the administrative convenience in those villages, etc. It also entails whether these villages are in Meghalaya or Assam census and whether they are taking power from the Assam side or the Meghalaya side. "Officials have made visits to these villages also, and we got first-hand feedback as to the mindset of these villages. We are serious about this, and that is why we had this meeting, and our aim is to find an amicable solution," mentioned Sangma. Asked what is the exercise being adopted to solve the vexed inter-state boundary issue, Sangma said that the entire process will require looking from a different perspective and find out-of-the-box solutions. ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW "We have to look at historical facts, but we also need to see the current situation (in which) the people are staying. We need to see the kind of community and ethnicity that is there. Administrative convenience and linkages are present there. Need to see what is the mood of the people in those areas how economic activities has bee going on," added Sangma. The Meghalaya and Assam chief minister, on August 6, held its second bilateral talks in Guwahati. Both the CM had decided to form 6 regional committees which will be headed by cabinet ministers.

Representative Image While several nations are already reporting increasing COVID-19 instances, Adar Poonawalla, Chief Executive Officer of the Serum Institute of India (SII), stated on Tuesday that India is better equipped to fight it now than it was in 2020. In an exclusive interview, Poonawalla said, "We are definitely far better prepared than we were in 2020. In 2020, we did not have the testing capabilities, the genomic sequencing.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. We didn't have any of that. We didn't have the hospital infrastructure that we have here today." The SII CEO praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership during the COVID epidemic, saying that India has now reinforced healthcare, reported ANI. "When you look at the position the country is in under PM Modi's leadership, we have strengthened all these areas, vaccines treatments etc. In 2020, the pandemic caught everyone off guard globally," he said. Poonawalla went on to say that the Centre's decision to enable all adults to receive the COVID-19 booster shot has rendered the country better equipped to deal with any subsequent wave. He claimed on Wednesday that "Made in India" COVID-19 vaccines have provided more protection against the coronavirus infection than mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna. Speaking to ANI, the SII CEO said, "The COVID-19 vaccines which have been made in India are providing more protection against the disease than mRNA vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna." "It's good that vaccines like Pfizer and Moderna are not introduced in India, because in countries like US people have taken 2nd and 3rd booster dose and still many are getting infected with Corona but in India, our vaccines have given good protection," Poonawala stated. On being asked about the export of the Covishield COVID-19 vaccine, the SII CEO informed that India has exported it to more than 80 countries so far. "We have exported Covishield to more than 80 countries and 10 crore doses so far. Now, the demand for COVID vaccine has been reduced due to declining cases," he added. He also added that "In some countries where mRNA vaccine was given, many people were hospitalised and cases were reported in those countries because they were not providing good protection against the viral infection." On April 10, a precautionary third dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine was administered to those aged 18 and above at private vaccination clinics. The Union Ministry of Health stated that anyone above the age of 18 and who has completed nine months after receiving the second dosage will be eligible for the precaution dose. Notably, on April 9, SII reported that the price of their COVID vaccination Covishield for private hospitals had been reduced from Rs 600 to Rs 225 per dosage. This service would be provided at all private immunisation clinics. The Centre has also permitted private COVID-19 vaccination centres to charge up to Rs 150 as a service charge for vaccination in addition to the cost of the vaccine. The Union Health Ministry recorded 796 new COVID-19 cases in India in the previous 24 hours. As a result, the current caseload has increased to 11,889. ### Response: | Indian better prepared to face any Corona variant, says Adar Poonawalla | 534,900 |

Bengaluru: In a story which seems straight out of a movie, a 56-year-old man has been living in his Ambassador car amid dense forests in Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada district.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. Similar to the Hollywood flick Cast Away, 56-year-old Chandrashekhar has been living in his ambassador car parked deep inside a forest between the villages of Adtale and Nekkare, near Dakshina Kannada. His old ambassador car is parked about 3-4kms inside the jungle, resting under a plastic sheet used as a roof, with old Hindi songs playing from the car's radio. He locks himself up in the car during nights and whenever he feels like resting. Notably, Chandrashekhar has no desire to come back even as wild snakes always make their way into his car. "Human beings are more poisonous and dangerous than wild animals," he says. But why?Until 2003, Chandrashekar lived like any other common man in the Nekral Kemraje village. He owned an areca nut farm of 1.5-acres. However, his life took a turn after Chandrashekar took a short-term loan and two crop loans from Nelluru Kemraje Cooperative Society, News 18 reported. He maintains that he was misled and cheated by people around and as he could not repay the loan, his property from where he earned livelihood got auctioned. Heartbroken Chandrashekar then went to his sister's place, but somehow could not stay happy there as differences of opinion cropped up. One day he decided to retreat from the civilized world and drove in his car into the jungle and started off a new life in the wild. How does he survive?During Covid times when the villages were shut, he survived by eating wild fruits in the forest. He travels on his bicycle to villages to sell his baskets made of dried creepers in the forest. Chandrashekar, though looks worn out, is leading a poised, self-sufficient life hoping that one day he will get back his farmland. He has kept all documents related to his farmland intact in the car. Even the district administration noticed his solitary life in the jungle, then-District Commissioner A.B. Ibrahim visited him a couple of years ago. The district administration even got the home built for him. However, Chandrashekar did not find it suitable as it was built inside a rubber forest. During nights most of the wild animals, including elephants, doe, leopard, wild boars, and bison visit his abode. The officials of the forest department have also let him lead his life in the jungle. "I don't even cut a small shrub, I don't meddle with anything wild around me. I take a bath in rivulet that runs close to my place in the forest. I cook rice and listen to Hindi songs on Akashavaani," Chandrashekar explains.

Image Source : GETTY IMAGES Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara A new three-day lockdown in Brisbane has put Cricket Australia in a spot of bother as it makes desperate efforts to hold the fourth and final Test against India in the Queensland state capital from January 15. The Lockdown was announced less than 24 hours after top cricket board officials from India and Australia were engaged in a discussion on relaxation of hard quarantine measures for the visitors. "Cricket Australia executives are urgently trying to determine the impact of a three-day lockdown in Brisbane on next week's fourth Test at the Gabba, which was already under a cloud because of India's hesitation to fly north and be subjected to tighter bio-security restrictions," the newspaper reported. "A hotel quarantine worker's positive test to the more contagious UK strain of COVID-19 is the latest spanner in the works for CA's hopes to close out the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Gabba," it further wrote. While Cricket Australia were ready to allow a capacity crowd of 36,000, the fluid health situation might warrant a change in the spectator policy. "The health scare in the city, however, has left those attendance caps in jeopardy," the newspaper stated. On Thursday, The BCCI wrote to CA seeking relaxation in hard quarantine protocol of Brisbane, reminding the host board that the visitors are done with the strict isolation that was agreed upon at the beginning of the tour. The quarantine rules in Brisbane will restrict the players to just their hotel rooms after day's play. CA has already verbally assured the Indians that "a deal" has been "signed off on by the Queensland government to allow players and staff out of their rooms to mingle together inside the hotel when not playing or training will remain in place for their week in the city." However, it is learnt that BCCI wants a written assurance on the matter. In case, Brisbane can't host the Test or Indians refuse to travel, Sydney will be the back up venue.

Ankara, Mar 29: A plane carrying members of a Russian delegation has landed in Istanbul ahead of talks with Ukrainian negotiators aimed at ending the month-long war.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict Turkey's private DHA news agency said the Russian government plane landed at Istanbul Airport on Monday. The face-to-face talks between the two sides are scheduled to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine could declare neutrality, potentially accept a compromise on contested areas in the country's east, and offer security guarantees to Russia to secure peace "without delay." He said only a face-to-face meeting with Russia's leader could end the war. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday that the two presidents could meet, but only after the key elements of a potential deal are negotiated. Earlier talks, held both by video and in person, failed to make progress on ending the war that has killed thousands and driven more than 10 million Ukrainians from their homes - including almost 4 million from their country. NATO-member Turkey has close relations with both Ukraine and Russia.

Sri Lanka's President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe have said they will resign for an all-party interim government to take over. Thousands of demonstrators entered the palaces of both men in Colombo over the weekend as the bankrupt island nation slipped deeper into its worst economic crisis.Visuals showed protesters lounging on beds and upholstered chairs, swimming, working out, playing the piano and gorging on good food. It was also a heartbreaking glimpse of the lifestyles the political elite had. At the same time, a country of 22 million people remains denied, for months, some of the most essential items there could be for survival. Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe have not been seen in public since Friday.In May, eight people were killed and more than 200 wounded as weeks of demonstrations escalated into bloodied clashes between groups supporting and protesting the government. Mahinda Rajapaksa had to resign as prime minister. Mahinda's younger brother, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, rejected violent calls for his resignation and appointed Ranil Wickremesinghe as the new prime minister. But this has clearly not worked. Sri Lanka has almost run out of dollars to import fuel, further stretching queues of people jostling with each other to buy cooking gas, besides petrol and diesel. Inflation has gone through the roof. The unrest is also fuelled by an acute shortage of food, medicines, electricity and other essentials. But similar situations may be unfolding in many other countries. THE LANKA CRISIS Before we move on to them, a quick look at what plunged Sri Lanka into such chaos. The Rajapaksas ruled Sri Lanka's political scene amid charges of oppression, nepotism, and corruption. But the main trigger was the economic mismanagement, worsened by counter-productive Chinese loans. Eventually, the country defaulted on its debt in May. Sri Lanka focused on domestic markets instead of selling goods abroad. So, export incomes remained low, and import bills kept growing. In April 2019, the Easter Sunday terror attacks hit Sri Lanka's tourism industry, one of its biggest foreign currency earners. The import-reliant nation was to soon begin to struggle to source goods. In November 2019, President Gotabaya ordered sweeping tax cuts that meant a loss of one million taxpayers and massive revenue in a country already crippled by chronic budget deficits. Then came the Covid-19 pandemic that dried up the inflow of tourists and depleted foreign currency reserves, causing Sri Lanka's debts to spiral. In 2021, the government tried to stop the outflow of foreign currency by banning chemical fertiliser imports. It asked farmers to use organic fertilisers instead. This sparked colossal crop failures. Buying food stocks from abroad made the foreign currency shortage worse. India ups surveillance along Sri Lankan waters amid political crisis But what happens in one country does not necessarily stay in that country. Many other debt-laden nations face similar food and fuel shortages amid high inflation. PAKISTAN'S TURMOIL Take, for example, Pakistan. It somehow avoided a debt default recently, with its soaring fuel-import bill and depleting foreign-exchange reserves needed for exports. A total economic collapse in Pakistan will be more worrying for the world because of multiple factors: fundamentalism, nuclear weapons and the presence of the Taliban within the country and in its immediate neighbourhood. Like Sri Lanka, Pakistan has asked for a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) while frequently asking its people to pay more for gasoline and electricity. In June, a Pakistani minister triggered a storm on social media by recommending that people reduce their daily cups of tea to help curtail the country's import bill amid a rising economic crisis. Pakistan's all-weather friend China gave a $2.3 billion loan. But not only these loans cannot provide a long-term solution, but they are also part of the problem. And this was seen even in Sri Lanka's case. CHINESE TRAP China's investments in infrastructure projects, or debt-traps, deepened Chinese influence over Sri Lanka but also exacerbated the South Asian island nation's economic crisis. Sri Lanka borrowed heavily from China to plug years of budget shortfalls and import goods needed to keep the country running. But it wasted large amounts on building expensive and unviable aviation, shipping, highway, hospitality, and other such facilities that further squeezed public finances. And much of what was built remains abandoned after making huge losses and failing to service Chinese loans that kept growing in size. Only China, Sri Lanka's biggest bilateral lender, is the winner. Contracts went to Chinese companies and China gets the real estate in the form of equity. Sri Lanka is in talks with India, Japan, and China and has appealed to even at-war Russia for help. Till now, India has provided around $3 billion worth of assistance to Sri Lanka, including a $400 million swap and credit lines amounting to $1.5 billion. But this is not what China does. OTHER COUNTRIES Meanwhile, along with Sri Lanka, Argentina, Venezuela, Zambia and others have also defaulted and many more are likely to follow, with a visible Chinese connection. For example, it's difficult to miss a $360 million project to expand the international airport in Zambia. Like Zambia, Lebanon -- where a financial meltdown has led to crippling blackouts and medicine shortages -- has sought global assistance to restructure its loans.Burdened by debts, Laos is also reeling under high inflation, currency collapse and dollar shortages that have resulted in runaway increases in prices of consumer goods and energy. Covid remains a factor in most emerging economies taking a hit but the Chinese hand is omnipresent. China employed its devious 'Debt Trap Diplomacy' to gain a strategic edge over Sri Lanka, independent foreign policy think tank Red Lantern Analytica said on Saturday. But it's not just Sri Lanka. Laos owes $13.3 billion in sovereign debt, much of which has gone into building large-scale infrastructure projects, many backed by China. No wonder, the Sri Lankan chaos has extracted sharp reactions from the IMF chief and a warning to G20 nations on global debt. IMMEDIATE TRIGGERS & WHAT NEXT But, indeed, there have been more immediate triggers. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and high US interest rates have made fuel and other imports more expensive and led to spiralling inflation. Countries with a massive loan burden are naturally the worst hit. These factors also deepened Sri Lanka's economic crisis that has now morphed into a full-blown political unrest, even though not many know which particular groups are protesting. Many countries are doing what Sri Lanka did. In Europe, Germany Greece, Spain, and Portugal have announced tax rebates and energy subsidies to quell unrest. In Africa, Nigeria and Zambia have done the same. In Asia, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia are boosting social spending and giving out direct cash. But experts feel the scramble to cushion the blow with such measures may actually widen the chaos.

Taking cognizance of the low uptake of COVID-19 vaccination among women, NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma urged states to address the gender gap in inoculation. In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretaries of all states on Friday, she stated that the gender gap in immunization coverage was a matter of "great concern". Sharma cited a media report which indicated that the gender gap in administering vaccines is more among the elderly population than the younger women. According to her, the reason for the same might be unequal access to resources and technology. She added, "There is an urgent need to increase the proportion of women coming to vaccination booths for receiving the vaccine so that the gap in immunization coverage can be corrected.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. We are bringing this to your notice and urge for your kind intervention to issue a direction to Health departments of your respective states/UTs to take measures to close the gender gap in administering doses and to ensure that women are not left behind in the vaccination drive". Earlier on July 23, Union Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani confirmed that there is a gender gap when it comes to the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination drive. She was responding to a specific unstarred question regarding the same by Lok Sabha MPs Kumbakudi Sudhakaran and PP Mohammed Faizal. Irani highlighted that women comprised only 46.32 per cent of the 35.89 crore vaccinations done till July 7. However, the census data of 2011 shows that women constitute about 48.05 per cent of the total population in the country. West Bengal extends COVID-19 lockdown till August 30 but relaxes night curfew hours COVID-19 vaccination in India Apart from Covishield and Covaxin, the DCGI has approved Sputnik V, Moderna, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The vaccination drive is gaining pace with 13.45 crore jabs administered in July- a 12.5% increase against June's 11.96 crore inoculations. As per sources, 40 crore doses of COVID-19 vaccines will be available per month by October. This will be possible as a total of 7 vaccines are set to be available by October with Biological E's Corbevax, Zydus Cadila's DNA vaccine and Gennova's mRNA vaccine likely to get approval soon. The government has already hinted at vaccinating the entire adult population i.e nearly 90 crore people by December itself.

Kyiv (Ukraine): Today is the 29th day of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has intensified its offensive to seize the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict Despite severe criticism at the international level, Russia is still not ready to back down from its military campaign against Ukraine. Russia is constantly bombing Ukrainian military bases and residential areas. However, despite being no match for Russia's military might, Ukraine is still trying its best to fight the Russian Juggernaut. Also Read :- 80% of Irpin under Ukraine's control, says Mayor month after invasion As the Russian military enters major cities during its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, it is facing fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces in densely built urban areas. Both sides have sustained heavy losses as intense fighting continues. The latest NATO estimate said between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian soldiers were killed in the four-week war in Ukraine. Russia had launched its offensive exactly a month ago. NATO estimates suggest that Russia may have lost as many soldiers as there were killed in the entire 10 years of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. NATO's estimate was based on information received from Ukrainian officials. The casualties on the Ukrainian side are also unclear, as the Zelensky administration has released little information on its own military losses. No confirmed data has been shared by the US and its allies monitoring the war. About two weeks ago, Zelensky said that about 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in the war. On March 2, Moscow said that 498 of its soldiers had been killed in the war. Earlier this week, the pro-Kremlin newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda removed an online article that revealed nearly 10,000 soldiers had been killed in the war and more than 16,000 were wounded. There are also allegations of a large number of top-ranking Russian officials killed during the conflict. An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that six Russian generals and dozens of colonels had lost their lives. "What is important to me is the heavy casualties reported by colonels and above, which are the backbone of the Russian military, not just generals," a senior diplomat in Moscow told Reuters. Meanwhile, defence analyst Konrad Muzyka said it would be a "big deal" if even two generals were killed. "We're not only talking about generals, we're also talking about colonels who are definitely really high in the organization as well," he said. As the invasion by Russia enters its fifth week, Ukraine is urging Western countries to supply more weapons. Sweden has agreed to send 5,000 more anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised to urge his allies to increase their contribution of military equipment. ### Response: | 15,000 Russian soldiers killed during Ukraine invasion, claims NATO | 310,311 |

A 70-year-old woman not only lost her life, but her corpse also fell to the wrath of a wild tusker in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, police said on Saturday. Maya Murmu was collecting water from a tubewell in Raipal village on Thursday morning when she was attacked by a wild tusker who strayed from the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary. The elephant trampled her, following which she was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries, Rasgovindpur police station inspector Lopamudra Nayak said. In the evening, when the family members of the deceased were performing her last rites, the tusker arrived there suddenly and took the corpse from the pyre. The elephant again trampled her dead body, threw it and fled. The last rites were conducted after a few hours, an eyewitness said.

Although it produces more than enough calories to feed everyone, up to 811 million people - more than 10% of the world's population - go to bed hungry each night. Sadly, effective governance to ensure access to food for all is still lacking. A globally coordinated effort to address both the short- and long-term aspects of the hunger crisis must therefore be the top priority. Today, all four dimensions of food security - availability, access, stability, and utilisation - are threatened by the combined negative effects of climate change, conflict, COVID-19, and cost. By disrupting global trade and pushing up food prices, these four 'Cs' are creating a short-term challenge of increasing hunger. At the same time, the man-made climate crisis poses a medium to long-term threat. Climate change has already started to affect the environment in which food can be produced. Exceptional droughts, heatwaves, and floods are undermining farming in regions as different as the Horn of Africa and the Midwest of the United States. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent Sixth Assessment Report leaves no doubt: The climate crisis will have increasingly damaging consequences for food systems around the world. Russia's war against Ukraine is aggravating this already dire situation. Armed conflicts have long been major causes of hunger, usually at the regional level. But the Ukraine war, involving two of the world's largest producers of agricultural commodities, is distorting global trade. As a result, the Food Price Index compiled by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations hit an all-time high in March. Prices of basic commodities such as flour or vegetable oil have tripled in some regions since the war began. Food producers also face skyrocketing prices for fossil fuel-based fertilisers, of which Russia is one of the biggest exporters. In severely affected countries, rising food prices may threaten social stability. When food prices soared in 2008, more than 20 countries reported social unrest and instability. Then there is COVID-19. According to the UN, the pandemic has caused tens of millions of people to go hungry. And lockdowns aimed at combating the virus have disrupted supply chains, adding to the upward pressure on food prices. Our food systems face further challenges. Overconsumption of cheap calories, enabled by global trade in commodities and fossil fuel-based inputs, has led to widespread obesity and caused severe environmental problems. But the negative effects of production systems on the environment have often been treated as economic externalities and thus ignored. More generally, and notwithstanding last September's UN Food Systems Summit, there have been very few holistic approaches to food-system transformation. Industrialised agriculture continues to hold sway. That means there is much to be done. But threats to global food security will increase if policymakers trying to stem the immediate hunger crisis continue to ignore the climate and biodiversity crises and delay necessary steps to make food systems more sustainable. For example, postponing the implementation of the European Union's Farm to Fork Strategy, as some have proposed, will not provide the amount of food needed in the coming months and will further undermine the resilience of European agriculture. As risks to food security mount, we cannot exclude the possibility that agricultural production from the food, feed, fibre, and fuel sectors will be insufficient to meet demand. Scarce supplies and disruptions to global trade will force us to make choices. Countering the effects of the Ukraine war and the four Cs will require a globally coordinated response. The key question is whether the multilateral system will be able to provide an active platform where states and all stakeholders can manage these challenges effectively. If existing multilateral mechanisms are not up to the task, global solidarity demands a swift response by the G7. In fact, the G7 has started to address the situation, and new pledges are being made to equip multilateral financing mechanisms to support countries in need. Furthermore, G7 countries should make a firm commitment to share grains currently used as animal feed and biofuel with poorer economies. Such a step would demonstrate that the rich world has learned its lesson from the COVID-19 pandemic, when it shared too few tests, vaccines, and other supplies with poorer countries. A G7 agreement would provide a fast solution, create trust, and thus could spur the multilateral system to act, both now and to avert future food crises. Again, it is vital that immediate responses to the current hunger crisis also support the long-term transformation of our food systems. Albert Einstein reportedly defined insanity as doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. So, why try to revive a broken system in times of crisis? The G7 initiative would create a starting point for the much-needed transformation of food systems everywhere. The alternative is increasing hunger and further instability.

The Ukrainian military said that Russian forces have continued to press their attacks in the east, as fighting following the invasion of Ukraine entered the third month.Click here to get the latest updates on Ukraine - Russia conflict The General Staff of the Ukrainian armed forces said Sunday that the Russians fired on Ukrainian positions along the entire line of contact on the war's 60th day. It also said the Russian military intensified its offensive and assault operations in the Siverodonetsk, Kurakhiv and Popasna directions. Turkey is ready to give all possible assistance during the negotiation process between Ukraine and Russia, President Tayyip Erdogan told Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy during a telephone call, the Turkish presidency said on Sunday. Erdogan said the evacuation of the wounded and civilians in Ukraine's Mariupol must be ensured, adding that Turkey viewed the guarantor issue positively in principle. Ukraine has sought security guarantees from various countries during talks. Here are some key updates: ➡️ The General Staff of Ukrainian armed forces said that Russian forces have also continued to pummel the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, hitting it with airstrikes, including by long-range aircraft. The shelling comes as the Russians are pressing their offensive in a bid to gain full control over Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland called Donbas. The Russians have also shelled the Dnipro region west of Donbas, where at least one person was killed by a Russian missile, according to Dnipro regional Governor Valentyn Reznichenko. ➡️ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced he would meet US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Kyiv on Sunday. Zelenskyy, in a news conference, said that he expects to receive specific weapons. It would be the first high-level U.S. trip to Kyiv since the war began on February 24. However, the White House has not confirmed any travel plans for Blinken and Austin. The State Department and Pentagon declined to comment. ➡️ Ukrainians marked Orthodox Easter in Kyiv with prayers for those fighting on the front lines and others trapped beyond them in places like Mariupol. St. Volodymyr's Cathedral in Kyiv was ringed by hundreds of worshippers with baskets to be blessed. On the occasion, Zelenskyy highlighted the allegorical significance of the festival during his nightly address to his country's people. 'There will be a Resurrection. Life will defeat death. The truth will defeat any lies. And evil will be punished,' he said. 'And Russia will have to learn these truths again, it's only a matter of time.' ➡️ Russia has deployed Iskander-M mobile battlefield missile launchers within 60 km (40 miles) of the Ukrainian border, General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said on Sunday. 'The enemy has increased the number of troops in the Belgorod region by transferring and concentrating additional units,' the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in its daily morning update. 'According to available information, Iskander-M launchers have been deployed 60 km from the border with Ukraine,' it said, without providing more detail on the location of the systems. ➡️ Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he had talked with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the eve of the Turkish president's talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy said he and Erdogan discussed the need for the immediate evacuation of civilians from the mostly Russian-occupied port city of Mariupol, including the surrounded but Ukrainian-held Azovstal factory, and the exchange of Ukrainian troops holed up at the plant. ➡️ The International Atomic Energy Agency said Ukraine had asked for 'a comprehensive list of equipment' to operate its nuclear power plants, including radiation measurement devices, protective material, computer-related assistance, power supply systems and diesel generators. ➡️Ukrainian English journal, The Kyiv Independent, on Sunday produced the breakdown of Russia's military losses as of April 24, based on data from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is not possible to verify these figures. According to the breakdown, Russia has lost nearly 22,000 troops, 179 planes, 873 tanks and much more artillery. However, these claims by the news provider cant be verified. ➡️ Russia's defence ministry said its high-precision missiles struck nine Ukrainian military targets overnight, including four arms depots in the Kharkiv region where artillery weapons were stored. ➡️ A regional official in eastern Ukraine said at least eight people have been killed by the Russian shelling. Luhansk regional Governor Serhiy Haidai said that two others were wounded by the Russian barrage in the past 24 hours. ➡️ Ukraine has repelled numerous Russian assaults along the line of contact in Donbas this week, a British military update said. Despite Russia making some territorial gains, Ukrainian resistance has been strong across all axes and inflicted a significant cost on Russian forces, the UK Ministry of Defence tweeted in a regular bulletin. 'Poor Russian morale and limited time to reconstitute, re-equip and reorganise forces from prior offensives are likely hindering Russian combat effectiveness,' the update added.

They are being inquired and brought to Karnataka," Jnanendra said.Speaking to reporters, the home minister said that it is clear that malpractices have taken place at several centres, even in Bengaluru. "In this backdrop, after discussions, the government has decided to cancel the exams and hold re-exams. Excluding the accused who had taken the exam, the others out of the total 54,289 people who had appeared for the exam will be allowed to take the re-exam," he said.The minister said that previously there were too many exam centres, which would be reduced this time. The re-exam will be held at bigger centres where jammers and new technologies would be used to put an end to cheating and fraud, he said. "The government is thinking of bringing stricter laws aimed at protecting the interest of those who genuinely prepare and appear for exams, and to punish those who indulge in malpractices," Jnanendra said, adding, that the government is considering changing all the exam centres, where the exams were held last time.The home minister also appealed to candidates to not lose hope and appear for the re-exams with confidence. "All measures will be taken to hold the exams in a transparent manner. We are gathering details about how UPSC exams are conducted and won't let negative forces disrupt the exam process," he said. Meanwhile, KPCC working president Ramalinga Reddy said, "It is foolish for the home minister to even think that he can divert the attention and save the accused by merely announcing a new exam.Since the inception of the investigation, CID hasn't been able to release even one interim report, wonder why?"On Friday morning, the criminal investigation department (CID) brought Hagargi to the state after her arrest in Maharashtra. "We had been tracking her for several days now. Soon after we got information about her involvement and raided her house, she escaped, however, she was arrested from a hideout in Pune," said a CID official.She is the 18th accused to be arrested in the case.Previously, Divya's husband Rajesh Hagargi was arrested. Divya runs the Jnana Jyothi Institution, an educational institution in Kalaburgi, and was the president of BJP women unit in Kalaburagi. Divya's name cropped up in the CID probe after a candidate named Veeresh secured 121 marks in the recruitment examination despite attempting only 21 questions. His examination centre was Jnana Jyothi Institution. Veeresh had secured the seventh rank. The probe revealed that she had taken money from candidates and filled the answer sheets after turning off the CCTV cameras in the school. She had asked two of her staff members to fill the answers, said CID officials.After the incident came to light, the party distanced itself from her and said she was not associated with the party. However, locals and police officials confirmed that she was an active BJP member.Reacting to the developments, chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said, "We will go to the bottom of the scam. Stern action would be taken against the culprits." When asked whether the recruitment scams have dented the image of the government, Bommai said, "it is not the question of the government here. The exams are being conducted on the lines of UPSC exams. The irregularities were detected by the government and an investigation has been ordered. Any more irregularities if found, would be dealt with severely."Meanwhile, former minister and KPCC spokesperson Priyank Kharge on Friday replied to the notice issued to him by the CID in connection with the scam. In his six-page reply, Priyank said, "The issuance of aforesaid notice under Sections 91 and 160 of CrPc is concerned, it is rather strange that the CID has taken the recourse to such a mechanism."He said the current dispensation wants to scuttle and stifle free speech and, in the process, destroy the democratic fabric by issuing such notices to opposition leaders. Kharge had held a press conference in which he had released an audiotape of an alleged conversation between a middleman and PSI exam candidate, where the duo could be heard talking about cheating in the examination. Following the press conference, CID issued a notice to the legislator asking him to appear before the investigating agency.Sign on to read the HT ePaper epaper.hindustantimes.com ### Response: | PSI recruitment scam: Main suspect among 7 arrested, K'taka to hold re-exam | 713,684 |

A meeting of Pakistan Army officials on Tuesday took note of the recent criticism directed at the institution on social media and expressed complete confidence in the leadership's "well-considered stance to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law".According to a statement issued from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the 79th Formation Commanders' Conference was held at the General Headquarters that was attended by the army's corps commanders, principal staff officers and all formation commanders and presided over by Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa."The forum took note of the recent propaganda campaign by some quarters to malign [the] Pakistan Army and create division between the institution and society."National security of Pakistan is sacrosanct. Pakistan Army has always stood by the state institutions to guard it and always will, without any compromise," the ISPR statement said.This comes a few days after "Chowkidar chor hai" slogans were raised during a rally addressed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sheikh Rashid Ahmed in Punjab province against Imran Khan's ouster as the Prime Minister. These slogans were apparently aimed at the country's Army.Thousands of people gathered at Lal Haveli in Pakistan's Punjab province against Imran Khan's ouster. During the protest, the crowds referred to the Army as "Chowkidar" and called them "thieves" which was "stealing" Imran Khan's mandate.However, in a viral video, Sheikh Rashid, the former Interior Minister was seen trying to stop the protestors from raising the slogan against the country's Army. "Don't raise slogans... we will fight with peace," he said.Social media trends in Pakistan also observed the slamming Pakistan army.Apart from taking notice of the social media developments, the army huddle was briefed on professional matters, national security challenges and measures being undertaken to counter traditional and non-traditional threats."COAS expressed satisfaction over operational preparedness of formations and response mechanism to deal with emerging challenges. Forum paid rich tribute to the supreme sacrifices of officers and men to ensure [the] security of borders and safety of masses," the ISPR said.It said the army was aware of its responsibilities and would continue to defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan against all internal and external threats under all circumstances.(with inputs from ANI)Pakistan desires peaceful and cooperative ties with India: Shehbaz Sharif in response to PM Modi's felicitations ### Response: | Pakistan Army chief General Bajwa alleges 'propaganda campaign' to malign forces | 529,784 |

Hyderabad: In a bid to encourage farmers to grow cotton this Kharif season, the state government has rolled out a special scheme, Under the scheme, over 2,615 crop colonies have been set up across the state. The role of Rythu Vedikas and agricultural extension officers is crucial in achieving the government's objective of having the farmers cultivate cotton over 75-80 lakh acres in the State, The New Indian Express reported.Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy, along with some MLAs and officials, recently conducted awareness programmes in Rangareddy, Nizamabad, Adilabad, Khammam and Mancherial districts on the benefits of growing cotton. According to K Ramulu, Joint Director of Agriculture and Managing Director of TS Agro Industries Development Corporation Limited (TSAIDCL), an agricultural extension officer would be available at every Rythu Vedika at least once during the day. Also, crop bookings would be done online this time and farmers can directly contact the concerned officials. Ramulu told Express that Rythu Vedikas would conduct demonstrations for 50-100 farmers in every village to make farmers aware of the scientific advancements in agriculture and how it would benefit them in growing cotton. The Minister said that the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in major cotton-producing countries like China, the Ukraine war, and the high quality of cotton produced in Telangana provide a great opportunity to the farmers of the State. "Cotton is selling at Rs 14,000 per quintal these days. If farmers get anything between Rs 8,000 to Rs 9,000, it is a safe bet. I believe that there will be a huge international demand for cotton in the next few years," he said. "Another major advantage of growing this high-density plant is that the entire harvesting process will be completed in the second picking. There will be no need for third or fourth picking. The process will be done between November and December. That will save a lot of time," Ramulu added. The agriculture department is also encouraging farmers to go for high-density plantation of cotton as it could yield more than 2-3 quintals per acre. Yet another advantage for growing cotton is that the stubble shredders are already available with the TSAIDCL. The stubble can be shaped into brick-sized mass that can be used as fire material in the pharma industry, The New Indian Express report further elaborated. The agriculture department is also mulling exporting cotton seeds for higher yields from US. "In Telangana, most of the land comes under small land holdings. To implement a one-time harvest, it requires large swathes of land. The seeds are also not available locally as of now," said a scientist at Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University. ### Response: | Hyderabad: Government encourages farmers to grow cotton for greater profit this kharif season | 969,010 |

New Delhi, Aug 11 (IANS) Concerns have mounted about the kharif sowing pattern due to uneven rainfall distribution this year, said Crisil Research.Accordingly, after stalling from June-end to mid-July, the southwest monsoon accelerated to close the deficit in long period average (LPA) of rainfall from 7 per cent as on July 12 to just 4 per cent as on August 8.Besides, the India Meteorological Department forecasts monsoon will remain normal for the rest of the season."However, concerns around kharif sowing persist mainly because of uneven distribution of rainfall.""During the recovery phase (commencing July 13), the country received 2 per cent lower rains than the LPA as on August 8." Region wise, the report said that rainfall activity was higher by 11 per cent and 12 per cent in North-west India and South peninsula region, respectively."The Central and East and North-east regions lagged 4 per cent and 20 per cent lower rains, respectively.""The patchy distribution of rains has perturbed many farmers.

Mumbai, March 23 : England and Rajasthan Royals' star batter Jos Buttler is back in India for the upcoming season of IPL with a sense of excitement and belief. "Anytime you turn up in India for the IPL, there's this sense of excitement and a real buzz around the tournament, so it's great to be back in the country," said Buttler. "It has become my second home. I've spent a lot of time here, and the friendliness of the people and the passion for cricket always tends to blow my mind away." Speaking of him being retained by the Royals, Buttler said, "There were only a certain number of players that could stay with the franchise so it was quite flattering to have been offered to be retained. I've always enjoyed playing for this franchise and have had some really enjoyable memories. "Obviously I knew the franchise had placed their trust in me, along with Sanju and Yash (Yashasvi Jaiswal). There were a lot of conversations that happened before the auction, and we were just focused on trying to create a strong team, covering all bases that you need to win the tournament. "Another aspect was how brilliantly my family and myself have been looked after - it is quite rare, so I'm really thankful to everyone here (at the Royals)," he expressed. Commenting on the Royals' squad for the 2022 season, Buttler said, "It's a really exciting time for the team you know, to start a new cycle and build a new team. The aim here is to win the IPL, and I can't wait to contribute to that. "We're delighted to have so many great players in the squad. Obviously, Ashwin and Chahal are two of the best spinners in the world, and with a great pace attack, I think it's really exciting. Then we've got ourselves a strong batting line-up, along with great all-round options, so I think it's going to be a really exciting IPL for us," added the 31-year-old. In his own words, Buttler said he "had a disappointing campaign in the Ashes." He added, "I think I've played a lot of cricket in the last few years, and have spent a lot of time in bubbles. It was a disappointing campaign in the Ashes, which finished with a broken finger for me. Post that, I haven't touched cricket at all - I've got a young family, so I'd the time to relax and enjoy with them." "I actually found it really important to do something different from cricket. It sort of brings that extra motivation and excitement when you haven't played for a bit. Of course I enjoy my fitness, but I think it was important to put my cricket kit away for a bit. Now coming into an important year, both in the IPL and then the T20 World Cup, I feel really fresh and full of confidence." Asked how he is planning to utilize time in this year's IPL without his wife and children accompanying him, the stylish batter said, "Seeing new faces in the team is always exciting, and gives me an opport ty to build new relationships, get to know the guys." "I'm also looking forward to connecting with a lot of people, especially Chahal. I've played against him a few times, and he seems to be that fun character in the team. So, I'm looking forward to having him on my team. He continued, "There's also Padikkal, who scored a hundred against us last year. I think he looks like a fantastic young player so I'm excited to have him here." Having played 65 matches in his 6 seasons in the IPL, and scored 1968 runs at a strike rate of 150, Buttler has steadily transformed into a senior pro in the team, and is looking forward to that role. "My role as a senior player is to try to give the other guys confidence. It's to transmit a very free-spirited mindset, and act as a sounding board for young players. It's important for them to be fearless, and to just embrace the opport ty." "I remember when I was a young player, just having that five minutes of conversation with someone would go a long way, and I would love to help the younger guys in the same way," he added. ### Response: | India has become my second home: Buttler | 303,372 |

San Francisco, Sep 7 The price of chips and devices, in general, are on track to rise into 2022 as the world's biggest contract chipmakers are ramping up productions fees, which could end up impacting Apple and its chipmaker TSMC, media reports say. TSMC, which makes chips for Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm, always had production fees around 20 per cent higher than its rival. But with the semiconductor shortage, some of its competitors already charge more than TSMC, citing Nikkei Asia, 9To5Mac reported. Now, the company is expected to prepare its biggest price hike in a decade, which could impact a lot of tech businesses, the report said. Industry sources told Nikkei Asia that TSMC is keen to weed out so-called double-booking, in which clients place orders for more chips than they need in hopes of securing production line space and support from contract chipmakers amid the global supply crunch. This, in turn, has made it difficult for TSMC to grasp the "real demand" picture. Counterpoint Research said that the rising cost of chips may even impact smartphone makers' business strategies. Last month, a paywalled report from DigiTimes suggested that Apple would be facing bigger bills from TSMC for its A-series and M-series chips. TSMC is poised to raise its quotes including those for advanced sub-7nm process technologies, which will result in more manufacturing costs facing Apple and other major clients, according to industry sources.

TRS working president and IT Minister KT Rama Rao lashed out at the Narendra Modi government for not helping the rain-battered Telangana. He said that the centre is taking revenge on Telangana state by not sanctioning funds in the current situation. He further stated that centre is treating Telangana like an enemy. He said that Modi has released Rs 1,000 crore as advance relief fund to flood-hit Gujarat but not responded on the rain-battered Telangana. He asserted that Modi should respond immediately and should release funds to the state. "Just like the financial sanctions imposed on the enemy countries, the union government is imposing several restrictions on Telangana to release funds and give fiscal approvals. Despite the unprecedented floods in Godavari River, the Centre did not release even a paise to the State towards relief measures," KTR said speaking to media persons. "The Central government is objecting to us taking up construction of Rythu Vedikas and drying platforms for the benefit of the farmers. Why such wild allegations of corruption and irregularities unless we misused the funds? Instead, the union government should encourage other States to emulate Telangana and create assets like Rythu Vedikas under the scheme," he suggested.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Nothing really has gone India's way in the ongoing third Test against England. Batting first at the Headingly in Leeds, the visitors put up a horrendous batting show and got bundled out for mere 78 runs. While India were expected to make a comeback with the ball, the Three Lions didn't let them do so. All from the top four crossed the fifty-run mark as England were 423/8 by the end of Day 2. This means the hosts have a lead of 345 runs with two wickets in hand. Moreover, three days of play is left and India's defeat seems a mere formality. It has to be noted that Joe Root's men were under the pump heading into this clash, having lost the second game at Lord's by 151 runs. Hence, they are trailing by 1-0 in the five-match series. However, the scores are all but likely to get settled by the end of this game. Speaking of the proceedings of Day 2, England resumed at their overnight score of 120/0. Indian bowlers made the ball talk in the first hour as both openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed couldn't score much on the second day. However, the baton of run-scoring was then passed onto comeback man Dawid Malan and skipper Joe Root. The duo didn't disappoint and pushed India further back. While Malan made 70 runs, Root advanced to his third century of this series. The likes of Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja got among the wickets later in the day but their effort looks all set to go in vain. Day 3 of the contest will be interesting to watch out for as Indian batters will have a point to prove in the third innings. However, the Virat Kohli-led side needs to take the remaining two English wickets to somewhat reduce the massive damage. Here is a look at how the weather is expected to play on Day 3 of England vs India 3rd Test: Uncharacteristically of the typical weather, rain hasn't played any part in the first two days of the Headingly Test. Day 3 of the game is also not expected to witness any sort of interruption by weather. As per accuweather.com, clouds will dominate the major part of the sky at Leeds. However, the chances of rain are good as zero. ### Response: | England vs India Weather Forecast for Day 3, 3rd Test: Leeds Weather on August 27 | 1,763,169 |

Virat Kohli who was struggling with his form throughout the season looked in a good touch with the bat while chasing a total of 169. Opening the batting along with Faf du Plessis, Kohli started showing his intent right from the start of the innings as he slammed couple of boundaries off Mohammad Shami in the third over of the innings to get into the groove. Unlike other matches where he started his innings slowly and cautiously, Kohli was at his free-flowing best in this innings as he managed to find boundaries in every over. Kohli was however given a reprieve early in the innings as he was dropped by Rashid Khan at deep-midwicket boundary, when he was at 16. The dropped catch resulted in a boundary. It was a blessing in disguise for Kohli as he utilised the opoortunity and continued to score big. He reached his second fifty of the season in style by hitting a six over deep-midwicket off Rashid Khan in the first ball of the 10th over. This is Kohli's second half-century of the season. His first one too came against Gujarat Titans earlier this season. With the knock, Kohli also became the first player to score 7000 runs for RCB.

By Iffath Fathima Express News Service BENGALURU: Karnataka managed Covid infections relatively well in July, compared to states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Maharashtra, which witnessed a surge. However, two districts -- Dakshina Kannada and Kolar -- have recorded high mortality Moving Growth Rate (MGR), which experts say must be brought down in the coming weeks, to avert the third wave. MGR is the percentage expression of growth of the value during the period, over the percentage at the beginning of the period.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here.

According to analysis by Jeevan Raksha, an initiative of Proxima, a management consulting firm, Dakshina Kannada is seeing a higher number of positive cases in the past few days, even reporting a higher number than Bengaluru on Sunday. The 28-day mortality MGR (July 3-31) in Dakshina Kannada is at 15.3 per cent, while Kolar at at 16.9 per cent. Experts say it is imperative that each district maintains the 28-Day Moving Growth Rate below 10 per cent in the coming weeks, to avert the predicted third wave. In July, Dakshina Kannada recorded around 1 lakh Covid cases, and saw 197 deaths, whereas Bengaluru Urban, with a total of 12.28 lakh cases -- 12 times more than Dakshina Kannada -- saw only 207 deaths. Similarly, the death toll in Kolar shot up by over 15 per cent, while Karnataka's toll went up by only 3.6 per cent in July. Sanjeev Mysore, convener, Jeevan Raksha, said, "It is imperative for Karnataka to be more alert than ever before, and tighten the loose ends. It has to thoroughly look at the unusual aberration in district-wise performance. The State administration should carry out an effective root cause analysis to find the reason for sharp variance in some of these districts, and fix the issue as soon as possible."

India's GDP growth is expected to decline to 2.7 per cent in the fourth quarter ended March 2022 as economic activity, which gained strength in the second quarter of FY22 with the ebbing of the second wave has lost pace since the third quarter impacted by the spread of the Omicron variant, says a research report from State Bank of India (SBI). Projecting a GDP growth of 8.5 per cent for FY22, the SBI report said the beneficial effects of the rapid ebb of infections have been overwhelmed by the geopolitical conflagration since February 2022. 'CPI inflation edged above the upper tolerance band as unfavourable base effects combine with the onset of supply shocks as conflict escalates,' it said. Against this backdrop, the Q4 GDP numbers are expected to be much lower than Q3 indicating a continuous deceleration in growth since the starting of the year. The NSO imputed Q4 FY22 growth is 4.8 per cent, and GVA growth at 4.1 per cent. It said the Indian economy's recovery remains resilient, although risks stemming from global developments have thwarted the momentum. Inflation risks have become more accentuated in recent months. The increase in international commodity prices also imparts a net term of trade shock that is widening the trade and current account deficits, the SBI report said. 'Nevertheless, we believe FY22 GDP numbers could move now closer to 8.5 per cent as Q4GDP numbers as per SBI nowcasting Model. The other big puzzle could be the gap between GVA and GDP numbers in Q4 given the strong growth in tax collections,' the report said. This could push up the GDP number significantly, even as GVA might be much lower. 'We believe the GDP projection for Q4 FY22 is clouded by significant uncertainties,' SBI study said. For example, even a one per cent downward revision in Q1 GDP estimates of FY22 from 20.3 per cent, all other things remaining unchanged could push Q4 GDP growth to 3.8 per cent. The CSO had projected Q4 GDP at Rs 41.04 lakh crore and FY22 real GDP growth at Rs 147.7 lakh crore, an improvement of 1.7 per cent over pre pandemic levels. The SBI Nowcasting model with unchanged quarterly numbers pegs the growth rate of Q4GDP at Rs 40 lakh crores, which is lower by Rs 1 lakh crores from the CSO preliminary projections. 'We believe that downward adjustments in Q1, Q2 and Q3 numbers could have a soothing impact on Q4 GDP numbers,' the report said.

Beyond the numbers, early trend of Q4FY22 results from corporate, in the listed space, reported better growth numbers across parameters as compared to Q4FY21 albeit contraction in operating margin due to higher input cost. Sectors such as steel, FMCG, chemicals, IT software, auto ancillary and paper reported better growth numbers. However, sectors such as automobile, cement, capital goods - electrical equipment and edible oil reported growth in top line in Q4FY22, but registered negative growth in PAT, it said. Meanwhile, globally, while the average real GDP growth in Q1 2022 for 25 economies at 5.5 per cent is a tad higher than the preceding quarter, GDP growth is marking an abrupt reversal in major economies (US, France, Italy and Sweden). The US economy unexpectedly contracted in the Q1 2022 (on sequential basis) amid a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and drop in pandemic relief money from the government, it said. This is the first decline in GDP since the short and sharp pandemic recession nearly two years ago. Global financial volatility continues amidst the prolonged Russia-Ukraine crisis. 'However, after touching the level of 3 per cent, that is double its level at the start of the year and the highest since December 2018, US 10-year yield has declined in the recent weeks mainly on account of rising fears of recession,' the report said. Investors are already wary of rising inflationary pressures. However, certain economic data including new jobless claims rising to a 4-month high and negative leading index have further sparked concerns that pricing pressures are starting to now take a toll on economic growth. ### Response: | Q4FY22 growth may decline to 2.7%: SBI | 1,011,877 |

New Delhi, Jul 22 (PTI) After the huge success of her acclaimed memoir “Becoming” in 2018, former US first lady Michelle Obama has announced the release of her second book, “The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times”, later this year.The book, scheduled to release on November 15, will be published simultaneously in 14 languages and 27 countries around the world, with additional languages and territories to be announced, publisher Penguin Random House said in a statement.In the book, Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including “her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress”.“I've learned it’s okay to recognize that self-worth comes wrapped in vulnerability, and that what we share as humans on this earth is the impulse to strive for better, always and no matter what,” she writes in the introduction of her upcoming book.“We become bolder in brightness. If you know your light, you know yourself. You know your own story in an honest way. In my experience, this type of self- knowledge builds confidence, which in turn breeds calmness and an ability to maintain perspective, which leads, finally, to being able to connect meaningfully with others — and this to me is the bedrock of all things. One light feeds another,” she adds.Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and first lady, the 58-year-old shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles.According to the publishers, through the book, Michelle Obama also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.“As the world struggles with an unprecedented health pandemic, deep political divisions, social and racial injustice, and anxiety about the future, I am confident that her new book will provide all of us with some urgently needed reassurance while rekindling a spirit of optimism about the power we all hold to positively shape our personal and collective futures,” said Markus Dohle, CEO of Penguin Random House.Michelle Obama’s previous book “Becoming”, a memoir that chronicled her life journey from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her experiences as the first Black first lady of the US, has been translated into 50 languages and sold more than 17 million units across formats worldwide.Its audiobook edition, read by the author herself, won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album in 2020.

The Indian Economy will take two years to reach and go past the pre-pandemic level, according to the Economic Survey 2020-21. "These projections are in line with IMF estimate of real GDP growth of 11.5 per cent in 2021-22 for India and 6.8 per cent in 2022-23. India is expected to emerge as the fastest growing economy in the next two years as per IMF," the Survey predicts. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tabled the Economic Survey 2020-21 in Parliament on Friday. The Economic Survey 2020-21 predicted that India's real GDP growth for the fiscal year 2021-22 will expand 11 per cent. "After an estimated 7.7 per cent pandemic-driven contraction in 2020-21, India's real GDP is projected to record a growth of 11.0 percent in 2021-22 and nominal GDP by 15.4 per cent," says the Economic Survey 2020-21. It says that reforms and easing of regulations like push to infrastructural investments, boost to manufacturing sector through the Productivity Linked Incentive Schemes, recovery of pent-up demand for services sector, increase in discretionary consumption subsequent to roll-out of the vaccine and pick up in credit will lead to further boost to the economy. These projections are in line with IMF estimate of real GDP growth of 11.5 per cent in 2021-22 for India and 6.8 per cent in 2022-23, it says, adding that India is expected to emerge as the fastest growing economy in the next two years as per IMF. The Survey said that the Covid-19 pandemic engendered a once-in-a-century global crisis in 2020 -- a unique recession where 90 per cent of countries are expected to experience a contraction in GDP per capita. "While the lockdown resulted in a 23.9 per cent contraction in GDP in Q1, the recovery has been a V-shaped one as seen in the 7.5 per cent decline in Q2 and the recovery across all key economic indicators," it says. Stressing about India's Rs 30 lakh crore stimulus package against Covid-induced crisis, the Survey says: "On the economic policy front, India recognised that unlike previous crises, the Covid pandemic affects both demand and supply, " says the Survey, adding that therefore, a slew of structural reforms were announced. "Together, these would help to expand supply significantly in the medium to long term," it adds.

New Delhi, June 24: Ashneer Grover, who was sacked along with his wife Madhuri Jain Grover by fintech platform BharatPe over alleged financial irregularities, has slammed the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) over its latest directive to non-bank prepaid payment instruments to stop loading credit lines onto their products. In a tweet, Grover said that "not allowing loading of pre-paid instruments through credit is aimed at protecting bank's lazy credit card business from Fintech's potent BNPL (buy now pay later) business". Ashneer Grover, Co-Founder and Former Managing Director of BharatPe, Plans To Start Own Venture Without Any Investors "It's a flex move by banks -- rent seeking. But market is market and regulation will eventually come around to what market needs," he added. The RBI, in its latest one-page circular, has disallowed non-bank PPIs from loading credit, and several such startups and firms have already stopped customers' transactions on their prepaid cards to avoid penalty. The banking PPIs include HDFC Flexipay, ICICI PayLater, HDFC Payzapp, SBI YONO and others, along with several UPI-driven platforms like Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay and Amazon Pay, etc. "The PPI-MD (PPI-master direction) does not permit loading of PPIs from credit lines. Such practice, if followed, should be stopped immediately. Any non-compliance in this regard may attract penal action under provisions contained in the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007," according to the RBI directive. Grover is reportedly in talks with US-based private equity companies to raise up to $300 million for a new startup. "Today I turn 40. Some will say I've lived a full life and experienced more things than most. Created value for generations. For me it's still unfinished business. Time to disrupt another sector. It's time for the Third Unicorn," he had posted last week. ### Response: | Ashneer Grover, BharatPe Cofounder, Slams RBI Over Non-bank PPIs Directive | 1,311,378 |

Irshad AlamA video of Deep Sidhu has gone viral on social media after the Punjabi celebrity has been embroiled in a controversy for allegedly instigating farmers to break away from the designated route of the tractor rally, and vandalising the Red Fort on Tuesday, 26 January.In the 1.05 minute clip that's being widely shared, Sidhu can be seen being confronted by a group of farmers while he was making a video sitting on a tractor. Sidhu then jumps off the tractor and is chased by the farmers, as they hurl abuses at him. Who is Deep Sidhu - the Actor Who Hoisted Nishan Sahib at Red FortThe Controversy Surrounding SidhuSidhu went viral on social media in November last year, after a video of him marching towards Delhi and lecturing a Haryana police officer in English on why farmers are protesting surfaced on the internet.While he initially emerged as an important voice of the agitation against the Narendra Modi government's farm laws, the farmers' leaders are now accusing him of being a 'BJP man' who was deliberately planted to derail the movement.The tides turned against Sidhu after he claimed responsibility for hoisting the Nishan Sahib at the iconic Red Fort during the Tractor Rally on 26 January. The vandalism that is being condemned by the farm leaders and opposition alike has given the Centre more ammunition for crackdown on the protesters.Amid the backlash, Sidhu, in a Facebook live video, claimed that he and a group of protesting farmers hoisted the Kisan Mazdoor Ekta's flag and the Nishan Sahib at the Red Fort and said that the Indian national flag was not removed from the flagpole.Ties with the BJPSidhu is believed to be close to actor and now BJP MP from Gurdaspur Sunny Deol, a proximity that the former has recently denied.Sunny Deol took to Twitter to claim that he condemned the flag hoisting in Red Fort and that his family had no ties with Sidhu.However, while Sidhu campaigned for Sunny Deol in the 2019 elections, Dharmendra also played a cameo in his hit film 'Jora 10 Numbaria'.Pictures of Sidhu with PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are also being widely shared by people on social media to allege that he was indeed 'planted' by the BJP to derail the movement.

These two components make dealers’ charges (excluding excise duty and value-added tax) at Rs 53.54 per litre. Apart from this, an excise duty of Rs 27.90 per litre is levied by the Centre. There is also a state value-added tax (VAT) of Rs 16.54, including VAT on dealers’ commission. An average dealers’ commission of Rs 3.83 is also added to per-litre petrol. These all taxes and charges add up to Rs 101.81, the petrol price of April 1. Break-up of Taxes, Charges on Diesel The calculation of diesel is also based on the April 1 retail price, when it stood at Rs 93.07 per litre, according to the IOCL notification. The base price of diesel in Delhi stood at Rs 54.87. A freight of 22 paise was charged on that. The two factors take total price charged to dealers (excluding excise duty and VAT) at Rs 55.09 per litre. Over and above that, an excise duty of Rs 21.80 is charged, apart from a VAT of Rs 13.26 (including VAT on dealers’ commission). Average dealer commission stands at Rs 2.58 per litre. These all taxes and charges add up to Rs 93.07. Recent price hikes The retail prices of petrol and diesel in India are linked to the international prices of crude oil. And, the global oil prices have been at elevated levels since the time Russia invaded Ukraine due to which global oil supply halted. After Russia approved a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, the Brent crude oil prices hit USD 100 per barrel for the first time since 2014. In the following days, the US’ WTI crude futures even skyrocketed to USD 130.50 a barrel, its highest since July 2008, before retreating. Brent also hit a high of USD 139.13, also its highest since July 2008. The Centre may choose to reduce the impact of higher crude oil prices on consumers by cutting excise duty on both petrol and diesel. On petrol and diesel, excise duty is charged by the central government, while VAT is charged by the state governments. When the Centre reduces rates on petrol, it cuts excise duty; while states reduce value-added tax on petrol when it seeks to cool the prices down. Apart from these, a 1 per cent cess is also charged on petrol prices. Variation in Prices Across States and Regions The variation in prices of petrol and diesel is on two counts — differences in freight charges and different VAT rates across states. Freight charges depend upon the distance between the refining plant and the petrol pump; the farther is the petrol pump from the oil refining unit, the more is the freight charge. Because of this, the prices may vary from region to region. Also, different states levy different VAT rates, due to which prices vary from state to state. For instance, the Odisha government levies 32 per cent VAT on petrol, while Uttar Pradesh levies 26.8 per cent VAT or Rs 18.74 per litre, whichever is higher. ### Response: | Petrol, Diesel Price Hikes: Know What Taxes, Charges You Pay on Fuel | 452,628 |

India during its long history was once a welcoming home for refugees, whether Afghans, Tibetans, Nepalese, Sri Lankan Tamils or Indians long settled abroad who, facing severe privations, chose to return to their ancestral home. This attitude has changed with the times; it is no longer a place of refuge for Rohingyas or the Burmese fleeing from the military coup d'état. In this respect, India is similar to most other nations, whose approach to incoming refugees has fluctuated depending on the political circumstances. Switzerland, for instance, is known world-wide for its humanitarian attitude, its founding of the International Red Cross in 1863, and as an impeccably neutral country, with hosting of the League of Nations and subsequently the United Nations. However, before World War II, Switzerland also severely restricted its grant of asylum to persecuted refugees, mainly Jewish, driven out of Nazi Germany by the policies pursued by Hitler. Confronted with the flow of incoming refugees from Germany from 1933 while suffering from high unemployment caused by the global economic depression, combined with fears of foreign infiltration and Judaization, the Swiss government took measures to prevent Jews from seeking asylum and settling in Switzerland. Heinrich Rothmund, head of Police in the Federal Justice and Police Department during the years between 1933 and 1945, was the architect of this policy, which granted asylum only to political refugees and stipulated that even such exiles should only be in transit and not allowed to work locally. "We do not wish", he said, "to create conditions favourable to an anti-semitic movement which would be unworthy of our country. We must protect ourselves with all our might and if necessary, mercilessly, against the immigration of foreign Jews." Consequent on the Anschluss by which Austria was taken over by Nazi Germany, and when German passports replaced the Austrian, the Swiss reintroduced entry visas for Germans which had been abolished in 1926. This move was resisted by Germany, and a compromise of sorts was devised that the German authorities would stamp the letter 'J' on the passports of Jews. The Swiss emphasised implausibly that "these measures were in no way racist and procedures foreign to us [but only] to protect Switzerland against foreign infiltration and its labour market against being swamped, something from which Swiss nationals would suffer." Nevertheless, the Swiss confederal constitution gave significant independence to its devolved Cantons, and therefore instructions from the centre were not always enforced. Some Cantons exercised a less restrictive policy, and the Swiss were not inclined to expel Jewish refugees who had secretly crossed the border. Instances of how the Swiss implemented their refugee policy are seen in the cases of four German refugees with Jewish antecedents, Rudolf Hilferding, Arthur Crispin, Wilhelm Dittmann and Fritz Demuth, who fled from Germany to escape prison and execution. Arriving in 1933, Crispin and Dittmann applied for political asylum which was granted for six months at a time on condition they did not work, refrained from political agitation and would return to Germany as soon as there was no longer a threat to their lives. Dittmann returned to West Germany in 1951, while Crispin died in Switzerland in 1943. The records do not state how they maintained themselves. Demuth moved to London in 1936 and died in 1965. Hilferding was a Marxist economist who had been German Minister of Finance in the cabinets of 1923 and 1928-1929. There is no record why he did not request political asylum in Switzerland, but he probably could use a Czech passport since his wife was Czech, and Czechs did not need visas to most European countries. Travelling with that passport was clearly preferable to asylum in Switzerland, and he earned a living from editorship of the journals "Magazine for Socialism' and 'NeuenVorwarts". The Swiss police keeping a keen eye on foreigners was apparently unaware of Hilferding's presence until 1937 when they intercepted a letter to him from the journal "Revolutionary Socialist", which was under police vigilance. But shortly after the Nazi takeover of Czech Sudetenland in 1938, Hilferding moved to Paris, which proved a fatal error. When France surrendered to Germany in 1940, Hilferding appealed to the Swiss for political asylum, and was refused. He then spent months trying unsuccessfully to reach North Africa or the Americas, and finally was arrested by the Gestapo, tortured, and committed suicide the very next day. Was the Swiss asylum policy to blame for his death? This is hard to answer, because it is a dilemma to balance perceptions of national security with the justification for humanitarianism. Retrospective ethical judgements are arrived at more easily. The same yardstick will apply to India's stand on refugees fleeing from the brutal Myanmar army earlier and today, whose return to their homeland looks far from certain. ### Response: | Political Asylum | 1,408,694 |

New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) A large number of commuters on Delhi Metro’s Blue Line faced hardship for nearly an hour and a half on Monday as services across the corridor were impacted due to a technical snag, officials said.Blue Line connects Dwarka Sector-21 in Delhi and Noida Electronic City, along with a branch line to Vaishali. “Train services between Yamuna Bank and Indraprastha stations of the Blue Line were affected from 6.35 PM to 8 PM today to undertake repair work of a broken contact wire (part of OHE or overhead equipment) on the Up Line (going towards Dwarka) due to some external object (bird) hitting the OHE/pantograph of the train,” the DMRC said in a statement. The entire Blue Line was impacted in this period due to the snag in the OHE at the Yamuna Bank segment. Trains were run at a slower speed than usual in this duration.

Commuters faced hardship and huge swarms of crowd were seen at several stations, particularly at Indraprastha metro station. Many passenger took to Twitter to share the hardship they experienced soon after the snag was reported.

Passengers are advised to take alternative routes,” the user tweeted. Another user, @Munmun_Bhat also tweeted and shared pictures: “Technical snag stated as reason of stoppage of metro train for the last 30 minutes on Blue Line by @OfficialDMRCofficial at Indraprastha Metro Station. Hundreds of commuters stranded at the station & waiting for another train to arrive”. “@OfficialDMRC too much crowd at Rajouri Garden Blue line metro platform.

The DMRC said that during this period of about 90 minutes, train services were temporarily not available between Indraprastha and Yamuna Bank stations due to the absence of OHE resulting from the breakdown of contact wire due to bird hit. “Normal train services were continuously available on rest of the sections of Blue Line during this period in two loops i.e., from Yamuna Bank to Vaishali/Noida Electronic City and Indraprastha to Dwarka Sec-21 sections,” it said.

By Prathma Sharma Express News Service NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that AG Perarivalan isn't interested in the question of law but is concerned with his liberty. The top court is hearing the case relating to the mercy plea of Perarivalan, one of the seven convicts serving a life sentence in the case related to the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. The top court said this when Additional Solicitor General KM Natraj appearing for the central government said that the court should wait for the President to decide on Perarivalan's mercy plea. "Reference has been made by the Governor to the President. The President has the option to send it back to the Governor or take a decision. The file has been sent to him recently," he said. The Centre has been defending the Tamil Nadu Governor's decision to refer the mercy plea to the President. He has submitted that in certain instances, the President and not the Governor is the competent authority. The bench comprising Justice L Nageswara Rao and Justice BR Gavai said that the Centre hasn't responded on the question it had raised last time. "There's a hanging sword over his head. He has had good conduct too...Why don't we release him? We don't find it reasonable. It is not about what the President has to do on the reference. It is about the issue of Governor's power to refer the cabinet decision to him," the top court said. The court questioned him on the file, saying it cannot be called 'recent' when it was sent in January 2021 and now it is May 2022. "We cannot shut our eyes to something that is happening against the Constitution. We have to follow our Bible - the Constitution of India," Justice L Nageswara Rao said. Senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi appearing for the state of Tamil Nadu argued that the question is not for the President to decide right now. "...President has an independent power under 72 of their constitution, how can he come in 162 of the constitution (Governor's power)," he said. The top court will now heard the matter on Tuesday and has asked the central government to put the document on record on the referral order by the Governor. The court said that (Tamil Nadu government and Perarivalan) are raising important constitutional issues of destroying federalism by bringing the central government into it. " ... We will place the matter for hearing. The decision of the President will not have any bearing on us for sure...You produce the file. We are going to decide...," the bench said. The top court on March 9 had granted him bail taking into account the fact that he has already spent more than 30 years in prison. The Tamil Nadu government had recommended Perarivalan's release in September 2018. ### Response: | Sword hanging over Perarivalan's head, can't shut our eyes: SC to Centre on mercy plea | 760,575 |

At least seven IndiGo pilots were allegedly caught using harsh language about compensation concerns on a frequency reserved for emergency calls on Thursday.Read all the latest updates on COVID-19 here. On April 9, these pilots were reportedly caught using inappropriate language on the 121.5 MHz frequency, which is solely used for emergency communications for planes in difficulty. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated an investigation into the incident. According to the sources, IndiGo has yet to publish a remark on the situation. The frequency 121.5 MHz, which is used for emergency communications, must be monitored by air traffic controllers who are in the area of the aircraft. The 123.45 MHz frequency is used for air-to-air communication between pilots of different aircraft, and it is not monitored by air traffic controllers.

IndiGo said on April 1 that it would raise pilot compensation by 8%, with a further 6.5 percent rise imposed in November if there are no interruptions. The incident occurs only days after the airlines suspended a handful of pilots for threatening to strike earlier this month in response to a drop in pay caused by the COVID-19 epidemic.

People in the Netherlands are the most physically active, spending more than 12 hours a week exercising or playing sport, followed by people from Germany and Romania, both at around 11 hours. At the other end of the scale are people in Brazil, Japan, Italy, Chile and France, who do less than four hours of physical activity each week. One in three people in Japan (34%) said they don't exercise at all, compared to only 4% of people in the Netherlands, while the global average is 14%. What's stopping people from playing sport? Lack of time is the most common barrier.Image: IPSOS More than half of people (58%) want to play more sport across the 29 countries surveyed, with only 6% people saying they want to play less. Not having enough time was the main reason people gave for not playing more sport, followed by lack of money and then the weather being either too hot or too cold. Not having sports facilities - or people to play - completed the top five reasons why people aren't playing as much sport as they'd like. What's the most popular sport or form of exercise? Fitness and running are the most commonly practised sports and activities.Image: IPSOS Fitness was the most popular form of exercise - done by one in five adults each week, followed by running (19%), cycling (13%), soccer (10%) and swimming (9%). Rugby and field and ice hockey were the sports played least - at just 1% - while more than a third of people don't play any sport during the week. Is there a fitness gender gap? Men play more sport than women on average each week.Image: IPSOS Men spend 90 more minutes (on average) doing physical exercise than women each week, the survey found. Men in the Netherlands are the most active, saying they spend 15.2 hours in a normal week doing physical exercise on average. Brazilian and Japanese men spend the least time on average per week (3.4 and 3.9 hours respectively). Women in Germany are the most active, followed by Dutch and Romanian women.

Yahiya got the name 'Maxi Maman' after he began the habit of wearing nighties at all times, in protest against an instance where he was assaulted by the police. Yahiya, an elderly tea vendor in Kerala's Kollam who became famous for his unique protests, died early morning on Sunday, September 12. Fondly called 'Maxi Maman', Yahiya was about 80 years old. He was found dead in his daughter's house in Kollam. He had been unwell for a while, says Sanu Kummil, who made a documentary on Yahiya a few years ago. During his last days, Yahiya had insisted on sleeping at a policeman's house where he worked as a caretaker. Ironic considering he had begun wearing women's nighties as a protest against an incident of police assault. However, when his condition had worsened, Yahiya moved from the policeman's house to one of his daughters' place. The policeman, finding Yahiya suddenly dead, gave a complaint, and so a postmortem is taking place, Sanu says. Yahiya got the name Maxi Maman after he began the habit of wearing nighties at all times. It happened after he once got beaten by a policeman for not untucking his folded lungi. In Sanu's documentary about him, Mind Matter of a Tea Vendor, Yahiya spoke of the assault happening when he was pushing his 'mobile thattukada' (before he had a permanent spot for his tea shop). Since then he switched to wearing nighties because one doesn't have to fold it or unfold it no matter who showed up before you, Maxi Maman said in the documentary. In an earlier interview to TNM, he had also spoken about another protest - shaving his head, in anger against the sudden 2016 demonetisation that brought him misery. After spending two days in those long queues outside banks to exchange banknotes and passing out tired, Yahiya had angrily burnt whatever little savings he had, in his tea shop stove. On the first anniversary of demonetisation, he had also shaved half of his moustache. Yahiya had sworn to grow it back only when the Modi government fell. Maxi Maman had spent many years in a Gulf country, and got his daughters married off before returning home to Kerala. His wife died a few years ago. He leaves behind two daughters.

India will produce its best-ever performance this year, bagging at least 15 medals, including five gold in Tokyo 2020, says the nation's Chef de Mission for the 2020 Paralympic Games, Gursharan Singh. India will field its largest-ever contingent with 54 athletes set to compete in nine sports including Para Archery, Para Athletics, Para-Badminton, Para Canoeing, Shooting Para sport, Para-Swimming, Para Powerlifting, Para Table Tennis and Para-Taekwondo. "I am confident that these would be our best ever Paralympic Games. Our Para-athletes have worked very hard in the past years and shown great results in international competitions. They are raring to go for the Games," Singh, secretary general of the Paralympic Committee of India, said in a release. "We are expecting around 15 medals including 5 golds at these Games. We have high medal hopes in Para Athletics, Para Badminton, Para Shooting and Para Archery." India has a total of 12 medals including four gold in 11 Paralympic appearances. The first batch of the Indian team, led by PCI President Deepa Malik, have arrived in Tokyo. T Mariyappan, who is India's flag bearer at the Games, has also arrived in Tokyo and there will be a lot of expectations from the para high jumper to clinch his second Paralympic gold in Tokyo. Mariyappan made a brilliant leap of 1.86 metres at the recent National selection trials. "It was one of my best performances (at selection trials) since Rio 2016," said Mariyappan, who had suffered a permanent disability to his right leg in a road accident. "I had an ankle injury in 2017 and it took some time to heal. It's been a while since I had been looking to get my old rhythm back. And I believe I have got it back now. I feel I am ready for the Games. I will aim for the gold." Apart from Mariyappan, India will have medal hopes from their Para Javelin throwers led by two-time Paralympic champion Devendra Jhajharia (F46). Reigning world champion Sundar Singh Gurjar and Ajeet Singh (also in F46), world champion and world record holder in F64 Sandeep Chaudhary and Navdeep Singh (F41) are others who would be ones to watch out for in Para Javelin. India is also banking on its shooters and badminton players to rise to the occasion in Tokyo. World no. 1 and multiple-time world champion Pramod Bhagat will lead India's Para-Badminton contingent with the gold medal hopes resting on him in the men's SL3 event. Among others, World no. 2 shuttler Krishna Nagar (SH6) and Tarun Dhillon (SL4) are other para shuttlers who are expected to do well. In archery, India will have Rakesh Kumar and Shyam Sundar (compound), Vivek Chikara and Harvinder Singh (recurve) and woman archer Jyoti Baliyan (compound individual /mixed event).

Title: KGF Chapter 2 CBFC Rating : UA In-article leaderboard Run-Time: 2 Hrs 48 Min Release Date: 1h-04-2022 Banner: Hombale Films Cast: Yash, Srinidhi Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh and others Music: Ravi Basrur Editing: Ujwal Kulkarni Cinematography: Bhuvan Gowda Producers: Vijay Kiragandur Written and Directed by Prashanth Neel Story Rocking Star Yash is back as the immensely stylish and confident Rocky Bhai. There are many opponents stacked against him; most of them are already known to us due to the wide-reaching impact of the first part. There are some new adversaries too, prominently the nation's PM Ramika Sen (Raveena Tandon). Adheera was referred to quite a few times in the first part; here he gets a menacing form through Sanjay Dutt. How Rocky tackles all these people and continues his hold on the KGF throne is how the story progresses. Just when we might think that the film could end on a sad note, the makers surprise us and thrill us big time with the post-credits scene which promises us that this KGF franchise isn't done yet! Performances Yash is setting a new benchmark among this generation of heroes in how to carry a stylish mass character with a supreme level of comfort and swag. He is riveting, and we just can't take our eyes off him. Raveena Tandon is a revelation in the limited screen time that she has. Sanjay Dutt's look is superbly done and his hulky screen presence is very apt for Adheera. Rao Ramesh is adequate, while Prakash Raj and Malavika Avinash are comfortable in their conversation scenes which drive the narrative forward. The pretty Srinidhi Shetty makes her presence almost throughout the film though her screen time isn't much. She gets one nice love song with Yash, as her character eventually accepts Rocky's undiminishing love and attention towards her. Archana Jois makes a powerful impression as Rocky's mother. Mother sentiment is at the heart of the second part too. Tamil youngster Saran makes a good mark in his cameo as a youngster at KGF who looks up to Rocky as his God. Of course, Anmol Vijay (the younger Rocky) is terrific again in whatever little he gets in the second part! Highlights Yash's style, swag and screen presence Strong Mother Emotion Prashanth Neel's Taking Explosive action scenes Background score and songs Cinematography Grand Production Values Drawbacks Excessive action at times Analysis Prashanth Neel stands tall as one of the best directors in the mass elevation genre; he celebrates his hero & thrills us big time. He's also very strong in emotions, making us cry a bit too, amidst all the action excitement, and hero elevation! With Yash in complete command and ownership of his character, Chapter 2 fulfills and eventually even surpasses all the immense expectations. Box Office Demolition guaranteed! Yash's style, swag, and screen presence have taken the film to a whole new level. His intro sequence, the pre-interval bang, and end credits excitement are all GOLD. Extremely exciting mass moments and hero elevation sequences, action scenes choreographed by Anbariv are a treat to watch like the epic segment where Rocky goes all guns blazing outside a police station. Whereas Excessive action could also be a problem for some. Trademark brilliant background score and songs by Ravi Basrur elevate every scene. The punchlines will be a feast for mass commercial cinema lovers. Plenty of MEME material for the youth, thanks to all the fiery dialogs in the film. Grand making by director Prashanth Neel, cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda, the unique production design, all the costumes, and overall, the fantastic production values provided by Hombale Films Vijay Kiragandur Rating: 3.5/5 Bottom Line: Once Promise Was Made, That Promise Was Kept. ### Response: | KGF - Chapter 2 Movie Review | 543,674 |

It's no secret that 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' is one of the most popular shows of all time, and Daya-Jethalal is the couple that everyone cherishes. With their coming timing, expressions, and oration, the onscreen duo had always left people in splits. We're remembering the time when Disha Vakani aka Daya Ben and Dilip Joshi (Jethalal) talked up about their relationship on Disha Vakani aka Daya Ben's birthday. They discussed everything from what they enjoy to what they don't like about each other in an interview with Deccan Chronicle. Disha and Dilip, when asked about their off-screen relationship, stated they had a good bond. Dilip said, 'we respect each other and are very professional. We have a nice equation off-screen, while Disha seconded his views and said that they respect each other. When asked if there is anything they enjoy or dislike about each other, Dilip complimented his co-star Disha and shared, 'I like and dislike the fact that she never complains. Sometimes, people should complain if they are uncomfortable or have an issue with something. But she never complains!' On the other hand, Disha said, 'I like the love that Dilip ji’s has for his family. There is nothing I dislike about him.' When asked who is the greater actor between them, they both praised each other's abilities and claimed each other's names. Well, that only goes to show that Dilip and Disha have a great deal of regard for one another. Every scene Dilip ji does on TMKOC is significant to him because each episode has something unique to offer. Disha, on the other hand, disclosed her favourite scenario. She said 'There is a scene where I was holding a gold statue for a holy deity. I felt connected to it. I can never forget that moment.' ### Response: | When TMKOC's Disha Vakani aka Daya ben and Dilip Joshi opened up about their off-screen bond | 1,655,641 |

Live TV is a path to tread carefully since what you do gets broadcasted in real-time on the screen of people sitting at home. Adding another hilarious unit to multiple live fails on television, a BBC reporter who thought he lost his connection with the newsroom was caught venting out his frustration at the vexing connection issues. Dan Johnson, a BBC correspondent, was reporting about the situation in Afghanistan from his hotel room in Delhi. While he finished reading his report, the anchor posed a question for Dan, which couldn't reach him. He thought that the connection with the newsroom broke, to which Dan exclaimed in exasperation, 'This job man, this job.' The anchor, along with the entire audience, became witness to this amusing moment. The anchor apologetically said, 'I think Dan did not hear my question. I think he had lost the line. I don't think he was upset; apologies for that.' Dan himself tweeted the video of the news report with his blooper. Sharing the video, he said, 'A good reminder. Always assume you're live on air.' He then goes on explaining about how the situation came to be. 'Power cut broke the line from London. I thought I'd been taken off the air, but I waited after finishing my answer. I thought I had waited long enough. Apparently not.' Dan somehow managed to shoot the video as he balanced the phone on a pile of cushions. Ending the caption, he said, 'A job with many challenges but always a privilege.' The video was viewed by over more than a lakh people. Reacting to the video, Sangita Myska, presenter at BBC Radio 4, said, 'Your words at the end two-way speak for many a correspondent!' Shiv Ramdas, a popular storyteller and podcaster, appreciated Dan for not moving his head even an inch 'to keep the reflection away from the camera.' Many related and resonated with Dan's emotions. Mayeni Jones, Nigeria's BBC Correspondent, said, 'Literally, what I mutter to myself every day.'

Amid the fresh wave of pro-choice and pro-life protests in the United States following the stunning leak of the draft resolution of the Supreme Court, an anti-abortion activist on Tuesday (local time) climbed a 60-storey tower in San Francisco. The activist, who goes by the name Maison Deschamps on Instagram and calls himself "pro-life spiderman", was later rescued and detained by the police. He had even posted on Instagram about his mid-climb on the tower. In the story that he posted, the activist was heard saying, "I am here at the Salesforce tower... It's going alright". In another story, he said, "It's all going good, just wish I had a little water.I just got to troop it out, everything is going good though." While commenting on the climb, he said, "It's not like that hard". The San Francisco department responded to the incident after being alerted and deployed its personnel for Maison's rescue. The department also said that the climber had not only put his own life at risk but also the lives of firefighters and public safety. In a tweet, the fire department wrote, "San Francisco Fire is on scene with other Public Safety Agencies at 415 Mission, Sales Force Tower for a reported climber climbing the 60 floor tower. This person is placing firefighters lives and the publics safety at risk. AVOID THE AREA and join us in condemning this action (sic)". Maha: Illegal abortion centre unearthed in Jalna, seven booked At least an hour later, the fire department had issued an update saying that the issue was resolved and the concerned person was in the custody of the San Francisco police. Maison climbed the 60-storey Salesforce tower which is 1,070 feet tall. According to The Guardian, the building that the 'pro-life Spiderman' chose to climb is the second tallest building West of the Mississippi and the 17th-tallest in the United States and is also the defining feature of the San Francisco skyline. According to the posts on his social media, the activist apparently sought to demonstrate against a specific abortion provider.

He climbed the 600-feet ARia hotel in August to demonstrate against the COVID-19 mandates in the state. US: Pro-choice protests take place as leaked SC draft suggests overturning abortion rights US SC draft resolution leak triggers protests Maison's Tuesday protest came just a day after a leaked draft opinion revealed that the United States Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. The ruling, which was accessed by Politico in a stunning violation of the Supreme Court's ironclad precedence of secrecy, if enacted, would end American women's constitutional right to an abortion. It is pertinent to note that the law has existed for nearly 50 years. US Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemns SC draft revoking abortion rights; 'greatest restriction' The decision to overrule the 1973 landmark case would lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states and could additionally have massive ramifications for this year's elections. Just minutes after the document was leaked, as per reports, barricades were erected outside the Supreme Court building in Washington DC in anticipation of demonstrations. It was a matter of only a few hours after abortion rights activists and a smaller group of counter-protesters clashed outside the fences.

New Delhi: Farmers protesting the Centre’s three farm laws will hold the "biggest" 'mahapanchayat' in the last nine months in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar on Sunday. The Samkyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella body of 40 farmer unions spearheading the farmers' agitation against the farm laws, claimed on Saturday that thousands of farmers from 15 states arrived in Muzaffarnagar district to participate in 'Kisan Mahapanchayat'. The SKM said the 'mahapanchayat' would prove that the agitation had the support of "all castes, religions, states, classes, small traders and all sections of the society". "The 'mahapanchayat' of September 5 will make the Yogi-Modi governments realise the power of farmers, farm labourers, and supporters of the farm movement. The Muzaffarnagar 'mahapanchayat' will be the biggest ever in the last nine months," the SKM said in a statement. It further said that 500 'langar' services had been started to arrange meals for farmers, including mobile 'langar' system run on hundreds of tractor-trolleys. The SKM added that 100 medical camps had also been set up for the farmers attending the 'mahapanchayat'. As many as 32 farmer unions from Punjab have given a deadline of September 8 to the state government to withdraw cases against protestors, it said. The SKM also said if the cases were not withdrawn, the farmers would prepare a roadmap for a bigger protest on September 8. The farmers' protest against the three contentious laws has completed over nine months since they first arrived at the Delhi borders. The farmers have been demanding the repeal of the laws, which they are afraid will do away with the MSP system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporations. Over 10 rounds of talks with the government that has been projecting the laws as major agricultural reforms have failed to break the deadlock between the two parties. Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union media in-charge Dharmender Malik said that hundreds of farmers had started arriving from different parts of the country, including eastern Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. He also said that BKU general secretary Yudhvir Singh also arrived to take part in the 'Kisan Mahapanchayat'. He added that other senior leaders, including Rakesh Tikait, would reach Muzaffarnagar on Sunday. Rakesh Tikait's son Charan Singh Tikait said his father would not come home till the government withdraws the three farms laws. Meanwhile, Muzaffarnagar district authorities ordered the closure of all wine shops in view of the 'mahapanchayat'. District magistrate Chandra Bhushan Singh said all wine shops would remain closed from 6 pm on Saturday to September 5 till the 'mahapanchayat' was over. He said the step had been taken for security purposes.

Bhubaneswar: A 32-year-old Dalit woman elected as a member of the Panchayat Samiti in Ganjam district about two months ago has alleged that she and her family have been ostracised and asked to pay a fine of ₹4.5 lakh for not voting in favour of a BJD candidate during the election of the chairperson of the Panchayat Samiti.

Lucknow | Jagran News Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Ujjwala 2.0 (Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana-PMUY) scheme at the Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh at 12.30 pm on Tuesday via video conferencing in presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has informed that PM Modi will hand over LPG connections and interact with beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme. He is also expected to address the nation. During Ujjwala 1.0 launched in 2016, a target was set to provide Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) connections to five crore women members of below poverty line (BPL) households. Subsequently, the scheme was expanded in April 2018 to include women beneficiaries from seven more categories (SC/ST, PMAY, AAY, Most backward classes, tea garden, forest dwellers, Islands). Also, the target was revised to eight crore LPG connections. This target was achieved in August 2019, seven months ahead of the target date. In the Union budget for the financial year 2021-22, provision for an additional one crore LPG connection under the PMUY scheme was announced. These one crore additional PMUY connections (under Ujjwala 2.0) aim to provide deposit-free LPG connections to those low-income families who could not be covered under the earlier phase of PMUY. Along with a deposit-free LPG connection, Ujjwala 2.0 will provide the first refill and hotplate free of cost to the beneficiaries. Also, the enrollment procedure will require minimal paperwork. In Ujjwala 2.0, migrants will not be required to submit ration cards or address proof. A self-declaration for both 'family declaration' and as a 'proof of address' will suffice. Ujjwala 2.0 will help achieve the Prime Minister's vision of universal access to LPG.

For ages, Gold has served multiple purposes. It looks nice and bright and is considered auspicious. Not just for wearing as jewellery or storing as an asset, gold is also used in certain religious rituals. Be it a child's birth or someone's marriage, no celebratory occasion is considered complete without a gift of gold. It can't be denied that Gold holds a special place in every Indian's life. But, when it comes to its relevance as an investment option, have you ever wondered - is everything golden about the Gold? One of the arguments in favour of buying gold for investment that you may have heard is that it will save you in difficult times. And this has been such a powerful argument for ages that, according to an estimate by the World Gold Council (WGC), Indians households may have accumulated up to 25,000 tonnes of yellow metal. This is around 12.65% of the total 1,97,576 tonnes of Gold mined throughout history! However, if we keep the religious and auspicious aspects of Gold aside, a new challenger to it as an asset class has emerged rapidly in the last 10 years in the form of Bitcoin, which is being seen as a new Gold, or the digital gold of 21st century. This article examines whether this cryptocurrency could be the new gold that you should buy in this festival season to fund your future. Gold and Bitcoin - similar or different? Prof Purushottam Anand, Assistant Professor, IFIM Law School, says both Gold and Bitcoin are different in character and utility. 'Gold is an asset that has been recognised and accepted both as a 'store of value' and a medium of exchange for centuries. Cryptocurrencies belong to a new asset type and have not even completed a decade of existence. Though some of the leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have been compared to gold by many crypto enthusiasts, cryptocurrencies widely differ in their character, utility and technology involved and it is not prudent to paint them with a single brush,' says Prof. Anand. However, according to other experts, Bitcoin takes a lot of inspiration from Gold and even improves upon the yellow metal in many ways. But scepticism and lack of clarity from the Government is stopping several Indians from investing in Bitcoin. Bitinning founder Kashif Raza believes that Gold deserves all the credit it has received till now as an asset class. But Bitcoin is the future. Raza says being unique, precious and rare, or scarce, are the three main specialities that have made Gold a universally acceptable store of value for ages. Bitcoin, though it is new, possesses all these specialties and improves upon Gold in many aspects. 'The advent of Gold provided a level playing field for transactions across the world. Gold deserves all the credit it has received till now. Buiding its reputation in thousands of years, Gold has always retained its value and the world believed in it, giving authenticity to the cultural narrative that one should accumulate gold on every possible occasion,' Raza says. However, for the new generation, which does its transactions virtually and is not too much attached to the notion of tangibility, the advent of Bitcoin has given them access to a digital asset that can be exponentially more rewarding than Gold in the long run, he adds. There are several strong arguments in favour of Gold, making it the go-to asset during festivals. But Bitcoin is rapidly challenging all these arguments. Take a look: First, rare and limited supply. Raza says Gold is unique because its supply doesn't increase as per demand. But in the case of Bitcoin, increasing the supply is impossible. 'We have been hearing for years that supply of Gold will end one day. But the reality is that its supply has gradually increased, though not as much as the demand. There are still many unexplored sources of Gold and we are not sure of how much gold is still there to be explored. But when it comes to Bitcoin, the last of it will certainly be mined by 2141. As many as 18.8 million bitcoins have already been mined and only 2.2 million are left,' he says. Manoj Dalmia, Founder and Director, Proficient Equities Private Limited, also says that Bitcoin is rare. It cannot be created at will as there are only 21 million of them, and no one can create more. That means that no government can control it or fake it. When it comes to Gold, no one is going to create more gold which will be feasible. However, the scarcity of gold changes depending on how much you put into finding it, says Dalmia. Founder of cryptocurrency exchange WazirX, Nischal Shetty, says, 'Bitcoin has been given the name of digital gold due to the limited supply of coins available. HODLERs believe that these traits - combined with global availability and high liquidity - make it ideal for storing wealth for longer durations, believing the value will escalate over time.' Shetty suggests we need to distinguish the similarities between Bitcoin and Gold. Second, tangibility and flexibility Seeing is believing. This is one major argument that puts Gold ahead of cryptocurrencies in the eyes of many. Gold is tangible. You can hold it in hand and store it at home or in a bank locker. In contrast, everything about bitcoin is virtual. So, how can one believe in something virtual? Something that has no physical appearance and can't be experienced…the argument goes on. But Raza differs. He says times have changed. The way we deal with money now is not the same as it was, just till a few years ago. 'We now have a UPI generation, which doesn't like to carry cash. It is comfortable in online and mobile transactions. For such a generation, tangibility argument doesn't make much sense,' he says. 'Secondly, gold is not a flexible asset. In times of crisis, you can't carry it everywhere, nor can you sell it in very small fractions. But when it comes to Bitcoin, you can sell it in very very small fractions, that too in a few seconds on your mobile phone,' he added. As many as 100 million satoshis make one bitcoin, where one satoshi is equal to Rs 0.0355223 (as per the current rate). Returns Gold has given around 158 percent returns since 2010. The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold in 2010 was around Rs 18,500. Today, the price of the same amount of gold is Rs 47,810. If compared to Bitcoin, Raza says Gold has grossly underperformed. As the cryptocurrency has given an annual return of around 230% in the last 10 years! Sharat Chandra, Blockchain and Emerging Tech Evangelist, agrees, saying, 'Bitcoin has become the numero uno asset, dislodging gold from its pedestal. It is the best performing asset class of the decade thanks to an annualized return of 230%. Bitcoin has emerged as a challenger to the yellow metal and is therefore rightly hailed as the 'Digital Gold' by bitcoin maximalists and crypto enthusiasts all over the world.' Volatility It is not that only Bitcoin is volatile. Experts argue that even Gold has had its volatile days. 'One could argue about the volatility associated with bitcoin prices but let's not forget that even gold had its share of volatile periods before it matured as an institutional asset. Crypto, as an asset class, is fairly young and the volatility would be reduced significantly as the cryptocurrency market grows and more institutional players start moving in,' says Chandra. Purity One can fake a piece of Gold and it needs to be tested for purity. But no one needs to test Bitcoin for purity. 'Bitcoin and gold can't be counterfeited and duplicated. Bitcoin is easy to recognize and impossible to counterfeit. Gold is pretty recognizable, though it must be tested for purity under some circumstances,' says Dalmia. Hedge against inflation According to Chandra, Crypto can help in hedging portfolio risks and therefore in some ways better than gold in terms of paring down risks of inflation. 'Gen Z and millennials aren't too fond of physical or paper gold. Given the returns cryptos have offered, they might allocate more capital towards crypto,' he says. Dalmia says investors view bitcoin as digital gold and a hedge against inflation, expecting it to appreciate over time over-performing the current inflation rate. 'The same stands for Gold but it has not performed well in the past few years.' Should you invest in Bitcoin? Now, the big question everyone is asking these days: If Bitcoin is so good, should I invest in it? Investing in Gold has always been associated with a sense of security. That you can sell your gold at any point of time at a higher price. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, Prof. Anand believes that Bitcoin or other cryptos may not serve this purpose in near future in India. 'Investment in Gold offers a sense of security due to stability in price movement. In the case of cryptocurrencies, price volatility is much higher and it is difficult to estimate the movement of price especially from a short term perspective. Though investors have been able to sell their cryptocurrencies at a higher price from the long term standpoint, sometimes, they may have to wait for the market to recover from any short-term crash to be able to book any profit. Thus, as of now, crypto seems unlikely to serve this purpose in the future,' he says. 'Gold enjoys a special privilege in our society because it is also used as jewellery and has been associated with a festive celebration in historical and cultural context. Investors also prefer to buy gold during festivals because of its tangible form and aesthetic value. It may be right to claim that crypto could be a 'better investment for more returns', but gold still seems to be a 'safer investment',' Prof. Anand adds. However, several experts believe that the price of Bitcoin would continue to increase in the long run. Raza says one should look at Bitcoin as a long-term investment option. 'Even when we buy gold, we hold it for several years. Many families would resort to selling gold as the last option and only during a crisis. One can generate wealth from Bitcoin also if he/she invests in it like gold and for a long duration.' For many experts, Bitcoin is already the digital Gold of the 21st century. But they underline the need for more awareness and caution. As Kumar Gaurav, Founder & CEO of Cashaa, says, 'Bitcoin has already been digital gold for me for the past few years. However, People still have to understand the fundamental of Crypto to do a head to head comparison and should look more than price speculation,' Gaurav Dahake, Founder & CEO, Bitbns, says crypto gifting is now catching pace especially among millennials and GenZ's. 'While gold has given an average return of 12-14% in the last 10 years, Bitcoin, with an annualized return of 230% over the same period, has outmarched all other traditional assets by a big margin and presents itself as a very attractive investment avenue in the long run,' he says. How much should you invest? A lot of regulatory clarity on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are yet to come. Hence it is important not to let greed or the lure of very high returns drive your investment decisions. In personal finance, experts suggest having a balanced investment portfolio. Balancing is important even while investing in crypto. Though there is no particular limit that can be prescribed for investing in Bitcoin. It would be prudent not to put all your savings, or emergency fund in Bitcoin, experts say. 'Crypto investment should not exceed more than 5 percent of your portfolio. Follow the basics of investing and do your own research before investing in cryptocurrencies,' suggests Chandra. Prof. Anand says, Gold and Cryptos have different roles to play and an investor must strategically diversify the investment portfolio considering his/her risk appetite. It is also advisable to seek assistance from financial advisors before making such decisions.

The leader of Myanmar's military made the threat at a parade marking Armed Forces Day. The junta ousted civilian leaders, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, in February 2021.Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of Myanmar's ruling military junta, said the armed forces will "annihilate" groups seeking to overthrow his government. The junta leader made the remarks at a parade marking Armed Forces Day. Myanmar's political crisis Myanmar's military seized control from Aung San Suu Kyi's democratically elected government in February 2021. Deadly force has been used by the junta to quell protests since the coup, resulting in over 1,700 civilian deaths, according to a toll compiled by human rights organization the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma). Thousands more have been arrested, charged or sentenced. Many political opponents have taken up arms and joined militias, known as People's Defense Forces. Min Aung Hlaing told the parade of thousands of military personnel that there would be no negotiation with "terrorist groups and their supporters for killing innocent people." The US last week officially declared that the military committed genocide against Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim population. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the attacks against Rohingya were "widespread and systematic." The country's military leaders have already been hit by a series of sanctions over the brutal campaign against the Rohingya, even before the junta seized power. The formal declaration of genocide could be followed by further limits on aid and other penalties. kb/wd (AP, AFP, Reuters) ### Response: | Myanmar junta leader vows to 'annihilate' opponents | 347,809 |

New Delhi, September 3: Russian Ambassador to India, Nikolay Kudashev on Friday said that both Moscow and New Delhi are committed to a peaceful and democratic new Afghanistan. Speaking at the ceremony of plantation of saplings (the Tree of Friendship) by the embassy of Russia in India along with Lieutenant General Chandi Prasad Mohanty, the Russian envoy talked about the Taliban and Afghanistan situation. Taliban Says 'China Is Our Most Important Partner, It Is Ready To Invest and Rebuild Afghanistan'. "Russia is very much committed to a peaceful and democratic new Afghanistan. I believe that India could share these feelings. These feelings are reflected in our bilateral cooperation in multiple formats like SCO-Afghanistan Contact Group," said Kudashev. On Russia-India relationship, the envoy stressed the strategic partnership between the two countries. He said, "The partnership is the guarantee of peaceful and stable development of our countries, of our peoples, as well as guarantee for the peaceful development of the region and world as well. Our main feature of strategic partnership is peaceful orientedness." Afghanistan Crisis: No Evidence to Verify Whether Pakistan Brought in Fighters to Support Taliban in Afghan, Says Pentagon. Meanwhile, in a resolution on Afghanistan passed by the United Nations Security Council, Russia and China abstained, while it was adopted with the support of 13 members and no one voting against the resolution. According to informed sources, "The resolution has unequivocally conveyed that Afghan territory should not be used to threaten or attack any country or to shelter, train terrorists, or plan or finance terrorist acts." There is widespread fear that with the departure of foreign forces, Afghanistan under the Taliban can become the epicentre of Islamic fundamentalism. With the Haqqani network and its close associate Islamic State (Khorasan) active in Kabul, there is a constant fear that international terror attacks can be planned and executed from Afghan soil.

US top infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci said he was "skunk at the picnic" in the former US President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force in an interview with New York Times on January 24. As several senior officials in the administration of US President Joe Biden voiced criticism over the response of the previous government, Fauci said that some people had assumed that he was "complicit in the distortions emanating from the stage" during the White House COVID-19 briefings early in the outbreak. Even though the top infectious disease expert had clashed with the Republican leader, Fauci explained that he never considered stepping down from the post. In the candid interview, Dr. Anthony Fauci said, "I felt that if I stepped down that would leave a void. Someone's got to not be afraid to speak out the truth. [White House staff] would try to play down real problems and have a little happy talk about how things are OK. And I would always say, 'Wait a minute, hold it, folks, this is serious business.' So there was a joke - a friendly joke, you know - that I was the skunk at the picnic." Meanwhile, as per Johns Hopkins University tally, the total infections of the novel coronavirus in the United States has surpassed 25 million with casualties nearing 420,000. The economy is plunging with the mass roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines being uneven. During the several months of crucial handling of the pandemic in the country, Trump had criticised Fauci for his direction and even flirted with firing him but never moved against the widely loved director of the National Insitute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, who has even served all US Presidents since 1984. 'Lack of truthness' in Trump administration Earlier, Fauci had even said that the lack of truthfulness from the Trump's administration about the coronavirus pandemic "very likely" cost American lives. Even though he was majorly sidelined in the coronavirus task force briefings, he returned to the White House after newly minted President Joe Biden released a national COVID-19 strategy and signed ten executive orders to combat the unprecedented pandemic. Fauci said, "Particularly when you're in the situation of almost being in a crisis with the number of cases and hospitalizations and deaths that we have -- when you start talking about things that make no sense medically and no sense scientifically, that clearly is not helpful". ### Response: | Fauci Says He Was 'skunk At The Picnic' In Trump Administration's COVID-19 Task Force | 2,443,227 |

A combo image shows the lion attacking the zookeeper. Gulf Today Report A daring stunt by a Jamaican zoo ranger, who put his hand in a lion's mouth and tried to harass it, turned into real moments of horror when the lion attacked him and bit his finger off in front of visitors. The shocking video went viral on social networking sites. The zookeeper appears to be trying to brag in front of visitors of his ability to put his hand in the lion's mouth. The video also highlighted the fact the man ignored the lion's roar, but when he put his fingers in his mouth, he started screaming. Seeing this incident, the hearts of the people standing there shook. The zoo operator was constantly trying to get his finger out of the net. At the same time, the lion was also not ready to give up its hold. An eyewitness to this traumatic incident told that till the time this was happening, I thought it was a joke. I didn't know the truth about it for a long time, because that's how zookeeper's work. But when he fell on the ground, everyone came to know that the incident was true and there was a stir. The front part of his finger was completely missing. The witness also explained that despite the guard's injuries, he managed to get away and board a truck before he drove off, apparently to the nearest hospital. The visitor indicated that the skin had completely disappeared, as well as the first joint of his finger. This zoo is located in Santa Cruz. It has many animals including zebras, monkeys, and crocodiles. Zoo representatives said they were not aware of the incident. But the Jamaica Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has confirmed that they are investigating the incident. ### Response: | VIDEO: Bragging zookeeper loses finger after putting it inside lion's mouth in front of horrified visitors | 983,779 |
