Man beats wife to death, later kills self in Odisha
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 20 (IANS) In an unfortunate incident, a man allegedly beat his wife to death following a family dispute and later died by suicide at their residence in Odishas Dhenkanal district on Sunday. The incident took place at Akhuapal panchayat under the Dadara Ghati outpost of Parjang police station in Dhenkanal district. According to the report, the man was identified as Ratnakar alias Mithun Naik,35, while his deceased wife was identified as Rasmita Naik,30. The couple engaged in a heated argument over some issues late Saturday night. In a fit of rage, the enraged husband assaulted the wife with a heavy wooden stick, resulting in her death. Following the death of his wife, a remorseful husband later committed suicide, said Chittaranjan Behera, the Sub-Divisional Police Officer, Kamakhyanagar, Dhenkanal, on Sunday. Locals claimed that the couple reportedly had three daughters from their marriage. Ratnakar, who used to work as a daily wage labourer, often engaged in quarrels with his wife under the influence of alcohol. Late on Saturday night, he again quarrelled with Rasmita over some past issues and later allegedly assaulted her with a wooden plank in a sudden fit of rage. After the death of Rasmita, Ratnakar took his three daughters to the house of his younger brother, who, along with his family, was away at the time. The deceased Ratnakar later left the daughters inside his brothers house and locked the door from outside. He subsequently died by suicide by hanging himself from a tree in front of his house, reportedly out of remorse. Upon being informed, the local police, along with the scientific team, reached the spot and launched an investigation. The bodies of the couple were later sent to Parjang Community Health Centre for postmortem. A case (491/26) has also been registered in this regard at the Parjang police station on the basis of a report by the deceased Ratnakar's sister.

NIT Rourkela shows indigenous security chip to PM Modi at SEMICON
Digital Desk | Cuttack, Sep 19 (IANS) The Odisha T20 League CM Trophy is all set to kick off on Sunday at the iconic Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Six teams, Keonjhar Miners, Bhubaneswar Tigers, Kataka Panthers, Puri Titans, Rourkela Superstars and Sambalpur Warriors will battle it out for the ultimate glory. The Keonjhar Miners franchise sees its entry into the Odisha T20 League as an opportunity to build more than just a cricket team, with a focus on creating a strong regional identity and providing a platform for young talent from Keonjhar and across Odisha. Speaking about the vision behind the franchise, owner Manish Khemmka said, For us, the Keonjhar Miners is about much more than cricket. Keonjhar has a very strong connection with OCL and with our broader journey in Odisha, and we felt that a sporting franchise was a natural way to deepen that relationship with the region. Cricket has a unique ability to bring people together, create aspirations and give young people a platform to express themselves. Our vision is to build the Keonjhar Miners into a team that the people of Keonjhar and Odisha can genuinely identify with and feel proud of, he further said. Over time, we would like the Miners to represent three things talent, opportunity and a strong regional identity. We are looking at this as a long-term association, not simply as participation in one tournament, he further added. The franchise also believes the Odisha T20 League can play an important role in widening the pathway for young cricketers from districts outside the traditional cricketing centres. I think it is extremely important. One of the biggest strengths of a state-level league is that it creates a structured platform where young cricketers can compete in a professional environment and demonstrate their ability. Odisha has considerable cricketing talent beyond the traditional centres, and leagues like this can help widen the pathway for players from different districts. The OCA has also articulated the objective of creating opportunities for Odishas players and providing a pathway for them to progress to the next level. For us, the opportunity is particularly meaningful because the Keonjhar identity gives us a natural platform to connect with young talent from the region. We want aspiring cricketers to believe that they dont necessarily have to come from one of the traditional cricketing centres to get noticed. If they have the talent, dedication and discipline, there should be a pathway for them, he said. Looking beyond the tournament, the franchise is also keen to develop grassroots programmes and strengthen its engagement with the local community. Our ambition is to build something that lasts beyond the ten days of the tournament. The first step is to establish the Keonjhar Miners as a strong sporting identity and build a genuine connection with our supporters. Over the longer term, we would like to explore grassroots cricket programmes, talent identification camps, coaching initiatives and engagement with schools and local communities in Keonjhar and across Odisha. The objective would be to identify promising young players early and give them access to better coaching, competition and exposure, Khemmka noted. At the same time, we want the fans to feel that this is their team. That means taking the Miners beyond the cricket ground, engaging with communities, involving young people and creating experiences around the team. Ultimately, if a young boy or girl in Keonjhar starts dreaming of playing professional cricket because they saw the Keonjhar Miners, and if the community starts seeing the team as a source of pride for the region, then we would feel that we have achieved something much bigger than winning matches. That is the legacy we would like to build, he concluded.

Odisha govt, SBI sign MoU to strengthen digital payment infrastructure in ULBs
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 18 (IANS) Odisha Housing and Urban Development (H&UD) Department on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the State Bank of India (SBI), through its payment aggregator service SBIePay, to strengthen digital payment infrastructure and facilitate seamless, secure and citizen-centric payment services across Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the state through the SUJOG platform. According to an official statement, under the partnership, citizens will be able to make online payments for various municipal services, taxes, fees and utility charges through the SUJOG platform using a wide range of digital payment options. These include RuPay, Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and AMEX cards, internet banking, mobile banking/IMPS, UPI, UPI-RCC (RuPay Credit Card), UPI-CL (Credit Line) and digital wallets. The H&UD Department also asserted that the initiative is aimed at making public payments more convenient and accessible while reducing the need for citizens to visit municipal offices for routine transactions. The integration will also contribute to greater transparency, efficiency and ease of transactions in urban governance. It noted that a key feature of the payment framework is the seamless settlement of collections. Payments received through the gateway will be settled directly into the designated bank accounts of the respective ULBs on a T+1 business-day basis. Unique transaction identifiers will facilitate transparent accounting, reconciliation and tracking of collections across ULBs. The system will also provide mechanisms for exception handling, Management Information System (MIS)-based reconciliation, refunds and chargeback management. These processes will be supported by a turnaround time (TAT) of seven calendar days, further strengthening transparency and enhancing citizen confidence in digital payment services. Speaking on the occasion, H&UD department Additional Chief Secretary, Usha Padhee, thanked the SBI for extending its support and helping hand in strengthening the SUJOG platform. She said that the collaboration will help the Department further enhance the efficiency, convenience and accessibility of citizen services through digital means. Rakesh Yadav, Chief General Manager of SBI Odisha Circle, assured that the Bank would extend all possible support and cooperation to make the initiative successful and further strengthen the digital payment ecosystem under SUJOG. The department told that by integrating a comprehensive and secure payment gateway with municipal service delivery, it aims to make the payment of urban taxes, fees and utility charges faster, simpler, safer and more accessible for citizens across the state.

Naveen Patnaik seeks protection of common man, small traders amid UPI MDR row
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Sep 18 (IANS) Odisha Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) President Naveen Patnaik on Friday raised concerns over the recently announced 0.4 per cent Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on certain Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transactions above Rs 2,000, stating that the interests of the common man and small traders such as shopkeepers must be protected. Patnaik made the remarks while responding to media queries on the controversy surrounding charges on UPI transactions upon his arrival at the Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar. Earlier, the Odisha Congress had strongly criticised the Union government over the issue, comparing the 0.4 per cent MDR on UPI transactions with the historic Jizya tax. On Thursday, senior Congress leader Sonali Sahoo alleged at a press conference that the central government had been resorting to various tactics to extract money from poor workers, labourers and the working class for the past 12 years. She argued that taxing UPI transactions above Rs 2,000 added insult to injury for a public already struggling under rising inflation. Sahoo claimed that since the UPI system was creating obstacles to the interests of American companies such as Google Pay, Paytm, Amazon, Visa Card and ATM services, these companies raised the issue with the United States Trade Representative (USTR). She alleged that pressure was exerted on the Indian government to scrap the free UPI transaction system and impose charges on transactions above $25. Notably, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) recently announced a 0.4 per cent charge. In an attempt to clear confusion, the Finance Ministry issued an explainer on Tuesday, clarifying that the new UPI framework has no impact on person-to-person transactions, which will continue to remain completely free irrespective of the amount transferred. Payments to merchants up to Rs 2,000, along with transactions covered under the zero-MDR framework for small merchants, will also remain free. Consequently, approximately 96 per cent of all person-to-merchant transactions will remain unaffected. MDR will apply only to specified merchant transactions above Rs 2,000.
