People taught lesson to those who wanted to change Constitution: Pawar
NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said the country taught a lesson to those who were talking about changing the Constitution. He was speaking at the unveiling of the Urdu translation of English book Padmavibhushan Sharad Pawar - The great Enigma by Sheshrao Chavan here. The political situation in the country should change, Pawar said, adding, We should think where we are heading. We have to see that the country does not fall in the wrong hands. Four months ago (during the Lok Sabha election campaign), Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party colleagues made statements that were not in national interest, the NCP (SP) chief said, referring to BJP leader Ananthkumar Hegde's controversial remark that they needed 400-plus seats to amend the Constitution. It is a good thing that the people taught a lesson to those who talked about changing the Constitution, Pawar said. He also hit back at Union minister Amit Shah who recently called him ingleader of corrupt people. A w

PoP Ganesha idols still rule peoples mindspace
Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Ganesha idols kept for sale for the upcoming Ganesh Chathurthi Fesitival at RV Road in Bengaluru on Thursday. (DC) Hyderabad : Even a year after the Telangana Ganesh Murti Kalakar Welfare Association received strictures from the Telangana High Court on defending the use of the Plaster of Paris (PoP), Dhoolpet is awash with Ganesha idols made of PoP. However, there is a significant increase in the number of clay idols, hinting at the rising awareness among people in the city. With Ganesha Chaturthi 43 days away, the idol making is in full swing, with workers sourced from Chennai, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh are on job. During interactions with Deccan Chronicle, the idol sellers at Miyapur, Kukatpally, Nagole and Chaderghat pointed out that most orders were for PoP idols but there is a significant rise in demand for clay idols compared to the previous year. Most people want PoP idols as they are stronger. Generally, if their chosen idol is less than five feet, we recommend clay idols. However, if the height is more than five feet, the customers insist on POP idols, said an idol maker from Dhoolpet. At Khairatabad Ganesh mandap, workers from various states are working day and night to prepare the 70-foot-tall eco-friendly idol. An official overseeing the work at the famous Khairatabad Ganesh said that work was getting delayed due to the rain and they were compelled to double the work force. Apart from local workers, those from Chennai, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai are shaping the idol, said Mahesh Yadav, vice-president of Sri Ganesh Utsav committee. The idol for this year will be crafted in the form of 'Saptamukhi Shakti Maha Vinayakudu', which features seven faces, seven snakes, and 14 hands, he added.

Several People Cheated in Investment Scam across Karimnagar, Peddapally, Asifabad, Siddipet
Hyderabad: Several people from Karimnagar, Peddapally, Asifabad, and Siddipet districts fell victim to a fraudulent investment scheme orchestrated through a mobile app. Chandrasekhar, the alleged mastermind, targeted individuals working in hotels and shops, convincing them to invest in gold, petroleum, and oil sectors through share marketing with the promise of doubling their profits. The scheme was bolstered by Sandeep Tanden from Mumbai, who claimed to have made seven crore rupees, assuring potential investors that they could earn two lakh rupees for every lakh invested. One victim recounted, They told me about this scheme since April. Some people got convinced as they received money. We invested in the month of May. We invested Rs 30,000 before. It came at the rate of Rs 500 per day. As the money kept coming, I got convinced and invested Rs 3 lakh. Now the amount is gone. The scam operated on a chain method where an initial investment of 10,000 rupees promised a daily commission of 1,200 rupees. Hundreds of people downloaded the app, and initial commissions were paid out to build trust. However, once the app gained significant investments, it ceased to function, revealing the scam. Victims approached the Ramagundam Cyber Crime Police, seeking action to recover their lost money. If they invest like a chain system, they hope to get a commission. I invested 2 lakhs. Up to 40, 50 people joined under me, said another victim. Investments ranged from ten thousand to eight lakh rupees, with approximately ten crore rupees involved in total. The scheme, which began in May, attracted widespread enthusiasm until the app's sudden malfunction exposed the fraud. Desperate victims have lodged complaints with the Ramagundam Cyber Crime Police, hoping for justice and the return of their investments.

PATNA: After the Centre refused to grant special status to Bihar , Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad on Thursday sharpened his attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing him of surrendering to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the issue of special category status. On his return from New Delhi to Patna, Lalu told media persons, Nitish Kumar has cheated the people of Bihar on the special category status. He is only repeating the central government and does not have his own stand. He (Nitish) has failed on it. He also claimed that the central government did not allocate substantial resources to Bihar in the Union budget. It was like giving only a jhunjhuna (toy) to the people of the state, he remarked. The RJD supremo said that it is clear that the development of Bihar cant take place without getting the special category status for the state. He, however, reiterated his resolve that his party would continue to raise the demand for special category status to Bihar. Earlier, Lalu had demanded Nitishs resignation after the Centre ruled out the possibility of a special category status for the state on Monday. Coalition compulsions in Andhra, Bihar bonanza Reacting sharply to Lalu's remarks , Janata Dal (United) chief spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar said that Lalu was making such statements only because he had no concern for the development of Bihar but was only concerned about his family. Lalu used the word surrender as he keeps surrendering (before the court in fodder scam cases), he added. JD(U) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha echoed similar views and said that Lalu and his party were speaking against Bihar and its people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has played the role of game changer, he asserted. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the sanction of Rs. 58,900 crore to Bihar in the Union budget presented in the Lok Sabha on July 23. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar hailed the budget and said that it was a big gift to the state. Since the beginning, I have been saying that the Centre must give special help to Bihar and today they have made the announcement to help us in several developmental projects and schemes, Nitish remarked.

Bangladesh sends note to India objecting to Mamata's remarks offering shelter to their people
NEW DELHI: India on Thursday confirmed receiving a note from Dhaka that conveyed its objection to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's remarks offering shelter to people affected by violent-clashes in that country. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, appearing to disapprove of Banerjee's comments, said matters that bring he Union into relation with any foreign country, are the sole prerogative of the central government. In an address at a public event in Kolkata, Banerjee, referring to violence-hit Bangladesh, said she would keep the doors of West Bengal open for people in distress from the neighbouring country and offer them shelter. Mamata Banerjee offers shelter to Bangladeshi refugees amid ongoing violence There were reports in the Bangladeshi media that said Dhaka has communicated to New Delhi through diplomatic channels its displeasure over the West Bengal chief minister's comments. I can confirm that we have received such a communication from the Bangladesh side. It is essentially on the lines described in the reports, Jaiswal said during his weekly media briefing while replying to a question. I would underline that under the Seventh schedule -- List one -- Union List -- item 10 of our Constitution, the conduct of foreign affairs and all matters which bring the Union into relation with any foreign country, are the sole prerogative of the Union government, he said. States should not overstep on foreign affairs: MEA to Kerala govt after 'external cooperation' official appointment In her remarks on Sunday, Banerjee also referred to the UN Resolution on refugees as justification for her stand over the possible humanitarian crisis that may emerge on account of the severe law and order breakdown that gripped Bangladesh. I should not be speaking on the affairs of Bangladesh since that is a sovereign nation and whatever needs to be said on the issue is a subject matter of the Centre, Banerjee said. But I can tell you this, if helpless people come knocking on the doors of Bengal, we will surely provide them shelter, she said at the 'Martyrs Day' rally of the Trinamool Congress. Bangladesh was reeling under deadly clashes with protesting students demanding the Sheikh Hasina-led government to scrap a controversial job quota system. Over 100 people were killed in the clashes that began weeks ago. Law enforcement authorities in Bangladesh had imposed a nationwide curfew. According to reports from Dhaka, the overall situation has witnessed some improvement in the country since Wednesday.

No loo near collectorate, people use 'green cover' to relieve themselves
THOOTHUKUDI: The Thoothukudi district may have achieved Open Defecation Free status in 2018, but the petitioners who visit the collectorate for the grievance redressal meetings still have to attend nature's call behind the seemai karuvelam bushes thriving on the campus. The lack of a sanitary complex for the crowds seems to be one grievance the authorities seem in no hurry to redress. Collector G Lakshmipathy receives over 500 petitions every Monday. At least 1,000 people reach the collectorate premises, including petitioners, their relatives, activists, political party cadres and others, during the grievance redressal meetings. The police personnel stationed at the entrance gates at a time permit a maximum of five persons with one petition to meet the collector inside the newly constructed meeting hall, while a huge crowd is left standing outside the compound walls. The collectorate building and the grievance hall consist of sanitary complexes. However, there is no toilet accessible to the people waiting outside the campus, said a woman petitioner from Srivaikuntam. An elderly petitioner told TNIE that he had come all the way from Karungulam along with his relatives. However, he could not find a place to relieve himself. Besides, they were also not provided with any drinking water facilities. An activist who frequents the collectorate said that the campus is in poor shape owing to shoddy upkeep. There is no drinking water, shelter and sanitary complex for the petitioners. Another activist said liquor bottles are found strewn around the parking and commercial complex areas on the campus. People can sustain injuries due to this and hence, the vigil should be stepped up during nighttime, he said. The district administration had constructed compound walls around the collectorate and restricted the number of petitioners entering the campus following the police firing incident in 2018. Efforts to obtain comments from collector Lakshmipathy proved futile.
