Bengal: Kolkata Metro passengers can now directly scan QR codes
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) Travelling by metro in Kolkata got smarter from Wednesday, with officials announcing two new initiatives. Metro Railway commuters will no longer have to download any app to purchase tickets. This facility has been launched at a select few stations and will be extended to others soon. Commuters will be able to purchase tickets smoothly by scanning QR image stickers available at metro stations without downloading any app. This facility has been made available at the Esplanade, Dumdum, Dakshineswar Rabindra Sarobar, Mahanayak Uttam Kumar, Kalighat, Howrah, Sealdah, Sovabazar-Sutanuti, Salt Lake Sector V and Dumdum Cantonment stations. This facility will soon be available at other stations of all corridors, a senior Metro Railway official said. This will come as a big relief for people using the metro during Durga Puja. Many pandal hoppers are not regular metro users and have not downloaded the AAMAR KOLKATA METRO app. Neither do they possess smart cards. Such people will no longer have to queue up at booking counters. Metro is gearing up for a huge rush during the Pujas and will be running nightlong services on three days along its Blue and Green lines. This facility was introduced by Metro Railway general manager Prem Sagar Gupta at the Park Street station. Under the second initiative, Metro commuters would be able to purchase tickets from any station to their destination with the help of the Paytm app, apart from the AAMAR KOLKATA METRO app. The chief operations officer of Paytm was present at the occasion along with his team. These new facilities would help commuters to purchase tickets quickly and conveniently without standing in long queues and save their valuable time, Gupta said during the launch. Metro has also made elaborate plans to provide security to passengers during the Durga Puja. Special attention will be paid towards the safety and security of women commuters. Co-ordination meetings have been held between the Kolkata Police, Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Metro Railway Police in this regard. Joint inspections have also been carried out. There will be special anti-sabotage teams with special equipment and sniffer dogs. Apart from these, there will be constant patrolling by both men and women RPF personnel to prevent any misbehaviour with women commuters. No eve-teasing or molestation attempt will be tolerated. Teams will also be travelling on trains, another official said. There will also be close monitoring of live CCTV footage at the security control rooms that will be in constant touch with the teams on the ground. Special technical teams will also be located at strategic places to handle any glitches. Any disruption of services can lead to overcrowding at stations, and Metro Railway wants to avoid that.

Mamata Banerjee condemns the arrest of CJP leaders
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) Former West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, on Wednesday condemned the arrest of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka on charges of trespassing at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi and also committed to always side with the CJPs movement. We, and many generations before us, have fought strongly for our democratic rights. We must continue to do so. I strongly condemn the arrest of Ashutosh and Saurav of the CJP. These moments are about us all, pledging and standing up to fight unitedly to protect our great democracy. This is an attempt to intimidate and silence an entire generation. This is unacceptable. We must never surrender our constitutional rights, said the former Chief Minister in a social media message. She also claimed that the murder of democracy was happening in many parts of the country. 14,000 of our people in Bengal are facing the brunt of police and political atrocities. A government that has forgotten that it is of the people, by the people, for the people is nearing its end. To the millions of young people, I say: Your Didi is with you - today and forever! Let us stand together and save our Mother India, she said. Mamata Banerjee and her nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, were in the national capital recently to take part in the CJP movement demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. Delhi Police had already banned protest demonstrations at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar. However, on the very next day after the ban was imposed, a total of 14 CJP supporters, including Ashutosh and Saurav, climbed the wall of Jantar Mantar and entered the premises. They were carrying the Tricolour and were initially detained, but the Delhi Police arrested them late on Tuesday. Ashutosh, Saurabh and others were produced before the court of an executive magistrate on Wednesday and were remanded to five-day judicial custody. They have been sent to Tihar Jail.

Football: Forlan buoyed by Uruguay restart after 2026 World Cup
Digital Desk | Montevideo (Uruguay), Oct 13 (IANS) Diego Forlan has offered a positive appraisal of his first matches in charge of Uruguay's national team, applauding his players' attitude in a recent three-stop friendly tour of Asia. The Celeste lost 3-1 to Japan in Miyagi on September 24 before beating South Korea 4-1 in Seoul four days later and then cruising past India 6-1 in Kolkata on October 6. The feeling was great, Forlan told a news conference on Tuesday. The team showed its quality throughout. We were able to give debuts to several players and the established ones performed at a very high level. It was a pleasure to be a part of the group. Forlan replaced Marcelo Bielsa as manager in August, weeks after the team's failure to reach the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup, reports Xinhua. The 47-year-old, who is also in charge of Uruguay's under-20 national team, said the players had helped him settle into the position. What gave me the most peace of mind was their backing, their desire to come [to the national team], he said. We had talks with them beforehand, and everyone wanted to be there. The former Manchester United, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan striker said he was particularly impressed with his team's performance against South Korea. Honestly, I believe it had been a long time since I'd seen Uruguay's national team play the way they did against an opponent of a high standard, Forlan said. We scored some high-quality goals and controlled the tempo from the start. In the second half we could have scored a fifth or sixth goal. Forlan scored 36 goals in 112 games for Uruguay, winning the Golden Ball as the best player at the 2010 World Cup after scoring five goals to help Uruguay reach the semifinals. Forlan's coaching experience includes spells in charge of Uruguayan clubs Penarol and Atenas.
Calcutta HC directs deletion of old EVM data for upcoming urban civic polls in Bengal
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) A division bench of the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday directed the West Bengal Election Commission (WBEC) to erase old data stored in electronic voting machines (EVMs) used in previous elections in wake of the polls for different urban civic bodies in the state, including that of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) and Howrah Municipal Corporation. However, the division bench of the Calcutta High Court's Chief Justice Ravindra Vithalrao Ghuge and Justice Om Narayan Rai directed the WBEC not to erase the old EVM data in cases of three specific wards of the KMC and the Contai municipality in East Midnapore district. Incidentally, in the previous hearing on this matter on October 12, the Chief Justice's bench had asked the WBEC whether it was possible to save data from the voting machines (EVMs) involved in the case on a hard disk and whether it was necessary to delete the previous data before using the EVMs in the forthcoming civic body polls. In response, the WBEC told the court that it was possible to delete the old data. In the past, several EVMs were preserved due to cases surrounding urban civic body elections conducted in the past. This year, the polls for several urban civic bodies are scheduled to be held in November this year and the results are expected to be announced in December. But since the WBEC did not have enough EVMs, they approached the Calcutta High Court for permission to delete the data of the EVMs involved in the case and use them again. State Additional Advocate General Bilabial Bhattacharya on Wednesday told the court that the Supreme Court's stay order was applicable only to certain wards under Contai municipality and in case of specific wards in other municipalities they were under consideration of the Calcutta High Court. Thereafter, the division bench directed the deletion of old data from EVMs except for those in cases of three specific wards of the KMC and the Contai municipality in East Midnapore district.

Calcutta HC directs Union Home Ministry to join Mahua Moitra security case
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) A single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court on Wednesday directed the Union Home Ministry to be a party in the case related to the security of Mahua Moitra, the Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha member from Krishnanagar constituency in Nadia district. The single-judge bench of Justice Saugata Bhattacharya directed the Union Home Ministry to be a party in the case till Thursday. Moitra had earlier approached the Calcutta High Court seeking protection, alleging that miscreants had been repeatedly harassing her within her Lok Sabha constituency. She alleged that sometimes eggs were thrown at her while she was at the party office, and sometimes she had been attacked while she was travelling in a car within her Lok Sabha constituency. Accordingly, the Calcutta High Court had earlier directed that sufficient security should be provided to the Trinamool Lok Sabha member Moitra while she would be within her constituency. However, since she faced attack and harassment, she again approached the Calcutta High Court seeking assignment of whole-time security personnel for her. The court ordered the deployment of two security guards for Moitra when she would be within her Lok Sabha constituency. On October 7, the court had sought the report from the state government in the matter and also directed the latter to inform the court about the rules regarding the security of a Lok Sabha member within her constituency. On Wednesday, the state's Additional Advocate General Rajdeep Majumdar submitted a report in the Calcutta High Court. He told the court that the Krishnagar Lok Sabha MP was getting security as per the Union Home Ministry guidelines and as per the MP's Yellow Book. The Trinamool MP was given X category security as per the Yellow Book, the Additional Advocate General told the court. In his counter argument, Moitra's counsel told the court that although one personal security officer (PSO) had been appointed for his client, the PSO did not stay with her round the clock. Moitra's counsel also said that since his client had sought additional and enhanced security for her after sustained attacks, the Union Home Ministry could intervene in the matter. Thereafter, Justice Bhattacharya asked for inclusion of the Union Home Ministry as a party in the matter by Thursday. The next hearing on the matter will be held on December 2.
Mamata Banerjee attack complaint has no substance or truth: Kolkata Police Commissioner Nand
Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Nand stated that the allegations against Mamata Banerjee are unfounded and false.

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said on Wednesday that the new industrial policy of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government that will be released just before the forthcoming Diwali festival will also have a transparent land policy as well as an incentive policy to attract big ticket investment in the state. He made this announcement while speaking at the inauguration of the Rs 6,000 crore phenol and acetone plants of Haldia Petrochemicals Limited at the industrial township of Haldia in East Midnapore district of West Bengal, which is also the native district of the Chief Minister. The Group of Ministers entrusted with the task of formulating the new industrial policy had already submitted the proposals on this count. Before the forthcoming Diwali festival, the final industrial policy will be presented to the industry fraternity. The new policy will also have a transparent land policy as well as a transparent incentive policy. The incentive policy will provide details of incentives, including power tariff subsidy, that will be provided to the investors, Chief Minister Adhikari said. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister also launched a scathing attack against the previous Left Front and Trinamool Congress governments in West Bengal, accusing both the regimes of systematically destroying the industrial ambience in the state. Militant trade unionism and even assault of industrialists during the previous Left Front regime had driven away several industrial units from West Bengal during the 34-year Left Front regime from 1977 to 2011. Thereafter, during the previous 15-year Trinamool Congress regime from 2011 to 2026, the flawed land policies of the state government, rampant corruption and extortion had made industrialists averse towards West Bengal. Now time has come to move on and move out of that bad phase, Chief Minister Adhikari said. He also made a promise that the state government will operate on the industrial front in such a manner that in the next one year West Bengal will become the industrial destination for industrialists throughout the country. Let us go to Bengal -- will be the new aim of the industrialists within a year. No one can stop the tide of industrial inflow in the state in the coming days. West Bengal will move forward with a double-engine government. More industrial investment will be made in the state in the coming days, the Chief Minister said.

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 14 (IANS) In a sudden operation late on Tuesday night after a tip off by their sources, the sleuths of the Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal Police busted an illegal arms manufacturing factory on the southern outskirts of Kolkata, the state police informed on Wednesday morning. Several single-shot guns, pistols, and cartridges were recovered during the raid operation. In addition, the STF sleuths also recovered cartridges and firearm-manufacturing equipment.

West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday alleged that fair and independent elections were not held in the state for the past 50 years, claiming electoral results changed after people were allowed to vote freely. Commenting on elections in West Bengal, Ghosh said, It is true that for the past 50 years in Bengal, fair and independent elections were not held; people were not allowed to vote. As soon as fair elections began here, the results turned around. The party that had been ruling here for 15 years did not even get 3 per cent of the votes, so it has become clear where the vote theft was happening. Ghosh criticised the Congress leader's approach, questioning the practical implementation of his ideas. He said, Rahul Gandhi will remain a student all his life. We will never get to see the practical application of his teachings. Responding to the Trinamool Congress's allegations that former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was attacked outside her residence in Kolkata's...
