Delhi first Assembly in India to operationalise real-time digital audit: Speaker Vijender Gupta
NEW DELHI: Delhi Assembly is the first Assembly in India to operationalise a real-time digital audit monitoring portal for monitoring of audit paragraphs and action taken notes (ATNs), its Speaker Vijender Gupta said on Monday. Gupta observed that the adoption of the Audit Para Monitoring System (APMS) marks a significant step towards transparency, procedural discipline and a more accountable audit follow-up mechanism. APMS is now fully operational within the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, and Delhi is arguably the first state assembly in the country to implement such a comprehensive real-time audit monitoring portal, he added. The Speaker held a meeting to assess the status of action taken on the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. He expressed concern while examining the status on the portal, which showed that 142 audit paragraphs had been uploaded by various departments, while only 30 ATNs had been submitted. He noted that such pendency is unsatisfactory and stressed that timely and complete responses are essential for enabling the Public Accounts Committee to discharge its mandate effectively. During the meeting, the challenges in audit follow-up were discussed extensively. It was noted that many replies uploaded by departments were not in the prescribed form and therefore could not be placed before the Public Accounts Committee, said an official statement. Gupta stressed that incomplete or informal replies cannot be considered valid ATNs and must be returned for correction. He directed that departments must submit corrected and properly formatted notes within three weeks. APMS is a digital platform developed by the Ministry of Finance Expenditure Department and conceptualised by the Controller General of Accounts, based on the Public Accounts Committees guidelines. It enables end-to-end monitoring of audit paragraphs.

Queues thin at Chennai International Airport; IndiGo cancels 71 flights
CHENNAI: After nearly a week of chaos, the thinning of queues outside IndiGo counters at Chennai International Airport, that began on Sunday, continued on Monday as well, and flight operations showed further signs of normalisation. Cancellations, however, still remained high. The airline cancelled 71 flights throughout the day - 38 departures and 33 arrivals. On Sunday, the airline had cancelled a total of 91 flights at Chennai airport, including 49 arrivals and 42 departures. Many passengers were seen enquiring whether their scheduled flights on Tuesday would operate or if they needed to seek refunds. For some, there was relief after IndiGo officials confirmed a few of the previously cancelled services would operate as scheduled. Abul Basan, an employee at Pullman Hotel in Chennai, told TNIE that he had visited the airport to check the status of his flight from Chennai to Kolkata, with a connecting service to Agartala. The IndiGo official at the counter told me the flight will operate as per schedule, he said. Inbound services linking Chennai with Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Hyderabad were impacted. Delhi emerged as the worst-hit route, accounting for nearly half of the cancelled departures, followed by Kolkata, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Anchal, who had gone to Ahmedabad to attend a wedding, said she was relieved to get back to Chennai. I was struggling to get back and was finally able to fly back home on Monday, she added. Meanwhile, Indian Railways set up a help desk at Chennai International Airport to assist stranded passengers in booking train tickets. Railway officials said 15 passengers availed themselves of the service on Monday. Ashant Kumar and Abdurrahim, commercial and ticket clerks with Southern Railway, said the special counters had been functioning since Sunday. Twelve passengers were guided to book train tickets to destinations such as Bengaluru, Ranchi and Tatanagar. The railways has made provisions for special ticketing in select routes, including 3 AC, 2 AC and 1 AC coaches.

After Lok Sabha, Upper House clears bill to levy cess on pan masala units
NEW DELHI: The Parliament on Monday approved the Health Security and National Security Cess Bill 2025, seeking a cess on manufacturing units of pan masala to augment expenditure on national security and public health. The bill was approved by the lower house on Friday. As the bill was taken up in the upper house for discussion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that it intends to create a dedicated resource stream for two domains of national importance: health and national security. It is not on essential commodities, and does not envisage any future when it may have to be placed on an essential commodity... This tax or cess is to be a deterrent to those who tend to use these demerit goods, and it certainly doesnt burden ordinary citizens and their essential daily consumption, she said. She also clarified that it does not impact the GST regime. The cess is linked to the capacity of packing machines and the grammage of products, thus providing a transparent and predictable assessment basis The intention is that this levy shall capture the production potential of the unit... The levy is not on actual production, but production capacity, Sitharaman said. Opposition MPs, however, questioned the bills title being a mix of Hindi and English words and also demanded that the bill be sent to a parliamentary panel for further scrutiny. Congress MP Shaktisingh Gohil questioned the title of the bill and said the bill was listed late, which didnt give members enough time to go through it to move amendments. Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale also questioned the bills title and said, If you want to be inclusive, maybe, since Bengal elections are coming, bring a bill named in Bangla... we will also celebrate it.

Goa nightclub fire: Probe panel told to submit report within 7 days
PANAJI: Goa CM Pramod Sawant on Monday said four people were arrested in connection with the fire at a nightclub in Goa that claimed 25 lives. One person was detained from Delhi. Sawant said that a magisterial inquiry has been initiated into the incident. The tragedy took place at Birch By Romeo Lane in Arpora village around 25 km from the state capital, Panaji. The probe will be led by the North Goa Collector, with support from a committee comprising the SP of South Goa, Deputy Collector for Fire and Emergency Services, and the Director of Forensics. The panel has been instructed to submit its report within seven days, the CM said. A recent inspection by a government authority documented alleged violations of the CRZ Notification 2011 in the nightclub that included the construction of an RCC G+1 hexagonal structure of approximately 550 sqm erected directly on a water body, with the ground floor used as a kitchen and storeroom. He said that four people have been arrested and inquiry is in progress. An arrest warrant has been issued against the club owners. However, they have reportedly fled to Thailand. Sawant also announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the next of kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 for the injured, to be sanctioned through the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF). The CM said that the DGP has been directed to take strict punitive action against the culprits, including the owners and managers of the club and those who issued permissions to the club. An audit would be conducted of all the clubs and business establishments that are operating without the valid permissions and where there is likelihood of gatherings. This would be done through a committee to be constituted under the chairmanship of the Secretary (Revenue). A standard operating procedure shall be framed for all such establishments to prevent such incidents in future, he added.

Democracy and Pakistan dont go together, says MEA as it flags concerns over protests, border clashes
NEW DELHI: External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Monday made a sharp remark on the state of democracy in Pakistan, saying that democracy and Pakistan dont go together, while responding to questions on the political situation in the neighbouring country, including developments involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan and ongoing protests. Asked whether Pakistans democratic structures were weakening, Jaiswal said India has been closely monitoring developments. We keep a close eye on every development in Pakistan but regarding democracy, the less we talk, the better, he said. Jaiswal also commented on last weeks border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, expressing concern over reports of civilian deaths. We condemn such attacks on innocent Afghan people. India strongly supports the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Afghanistan, he said. Heavy gunfire was exchanged along the border last Friday, days after peace talks between the two sides collapsed. Meanwhile, protests linked to Imran Khans incarceration continued in Pakistan. Reports said that authorities at Rawalpindis Adiala Jail last week allowed Khans sister, Uzma Khanum, to meet him, even as PTI supporters held demonstrations outside the Islamabad High Court and the prison over restrictions on his visitation rights. On a separate query, Jaiswal urged Indian nationals to exercise caution while travelling through China, following an incident involving UK-based Indian citizen Pema Wangjom Thongdok. Thongdok, born in Arunachal Pradesh, was travelling from London to Japan with a layover in Shanghai when Chinese immigration officials allegedly deemed her Indian passport invalid because it listed Arunachal Pradesh as her birthplace. She was kept in the transit area for nearly 18 hours before being allowed to continue her journey after contacting the Indian Embassy. Reiterating Indias firm stance, Jaiswal said, Arunachal Pradesh is and will remain an integral part of India, and we do not want any interference in it. He added that IndiaChina relations were gradually moving in a positive direction and that New Delhi intended to maintain that momentum.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the entire order of the Allahabad High Court's March 17 decision, which had held that mere grabbing the breasts of a minor victim and breaking the string of her pyjama to bring down her lower garment were not sufficient facts to infer that the accused were determined to commit rape. A two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant and also comprising Justice Joymalya Bagchi, said it will hear the case in January for a final hearing and indicated that it will lay down guidelines for trial courts to follow while passing orders in POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases. Senior Advocate Shobha Gupta, appearing as amicus curiae, argued that the Allahabad HC had earlier remarked in another case that the victim invited trouble by drinking liquor and agreeing to go to the place of the accused at night. She said courts in Calcutta and Rajasthan have also made similar remarks in sensitive gender crime cases, which are totally insensitive, legally unsustainable, and send a wrong message to society. Advocate Prashanth Padmanabhan, appearing for NGO Stree Shakti, added that in a sessions court proceeding earlier in the day, a girl was allegedly harassed during an in-camera hearing. Gupta stressed that a word of caution must be issued to High Courts and lower courts to display sensitivity and responsibility while making observations in such cases, noting that the impugned order is not an isolated incident and that the frequency of such remarks is disturbing and alarming. Taking note of these submissions, the CJI said, You cite all these instances in a written note. We shall issue a set of guidelines for all High Courts and lower courts because such observations, as impugned, can have a chilling effect on victims and society at large. The top court also noted that Gupta, appearing as amicus, has been asked to submit a brief note of submissions. Let the SLP (Special Leave Petition) be listed along with these proceedings. Meanwhile, so that no prejudice is caused to the victim, operation of the HC order is stayed. The trial court shall proceed with the trial based on the summoning order under Sections 376 (rape) and 511 (attempt to commit offences punishable with imprisonment) of the Indian Penal Code, and under POCSO. The trial court shall proceed on the basis that we have not expressed any final opinion, the bench ordered.
