Congress leader Alka Lamba plans strategy to dethrone NDA govt in Bihar election
PATNA: Congress National Womens President Alka Lamba is holding a meeting of Bihar State Congress Womens executive committee in the state capital to plan a detailed strategy for the assembly elections scheduled for October-November this year. Lamba, who arrived in the state capital on Thursday, said she will visit every Lok Sabha constituency in the coming days and take necessary steps to remove the NDA government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar from power. She emphasized the need to strengthen the partys support base, especially among women, and prepare for an aggressive campaign for the 2025 assembly elections. She stated that this year, the partys primary focus is Bihar. Lamba predicted that the NDA government in Bihar would not return to power after the 2025 elections and claimed that Nitish Kumar would not be the next chief minister. She accused him of failing to keep his promises. Criticizing the NDA government, she alleged that it had failed to implement policies for the welfare of women and only made promises to gain political advantage without fulfilling them. PM Modi to visit Bihar in February; 'Centre makes false promises in state to gain political mileage', accuses RJD She further said that the Congress party is committed to fulfilling its election promises, as seen in states where it is in power, and pledged to work for womens welfare in Bihar. Dismissing the NDAs claim of winning 225 seats in the upcoming assembly elections, she pointed to their failure in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where they set a target of over 400 seats but could not secure a simple majority. Referring to Nitish Kumars partys poor performance in the 2020 assembly elections, she noted that JD(U) had finished third in Bihar and predicted a similar outcome this time. She claimed that the NDA would struggle to achieve its goal as people are disillusioned with the current government. LoP Tejashwis 'Mai-Behan Maan Yojna' sparks political controversy in Bihar Lamba also endorsed RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav s Mai Bahin Samman Yojna, which proposes increasing womens monthly pension from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1500. She expressed her support for the scheme, stating that it would help improve the economic condition of women in Bihar. Earlier, AICC Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru urged party workers to avoid factionalism, work hard, and focus on visiting polling booths rather than traveling to Delhi or Patna. He warned that leaders indulging in factionalism would be removed from the party. However, he assured that the party would work together to restore Congresss former strength in Bihar. He also emphasized that election tickets would be given only to those who work hard and fight for the peoples cause.

Group-2 Mains exam will proceed as planned: Andhra Pradesh High Court
VIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Thursday ruled that the Group-2 Mains examination, scheduled for February 23, will proceed as planned. Justice Satti Subba Reddy, hearing a petition from two aspirants seeking to halt the exam, made it clear that stopping the examination would adversely impact the 92,250 candidates who have already cleared the preliminary exams. The petitioners sought the courts intervention to implement horizontal reservation in the recruitment process. However, Justice Reddy pointed out that only two of the 92,250 candidates had approached the court. He explained that if the petitioners prevail in their case, the entire recruitment process may need to be restarted. The judge emphasised that halting the main examination at this stage would cause irreparable harm to many candidates. The court stated that all subsequent actions related to the recruitment notification will be subject to its final judgment in the case. The State government was directed to file a counter affidavit within 10 days, providing complete details on the matter. The court has posted the next hearing for March 11. In a related case, a petition had been filed by Kanuparthi Penhalaya of YSR Kadapa and three other aspirants, requesting special reservation points for disabled persons, women, ex-servicemen, and sportsmen in the Group-2 notification. Additionally, Malla Parthasarathy of Visakhapatnam has filed a petition urging the finalisation of the reservation roster for Group-2 posts in line with the Supreme Courts judgment in the RK Sabharwal case.

Odisha govt panel summons KIIT founder Achyuta Samanta over Nepalese student's death
BHUBANESWAR: Expediting its inquiry into the alleged suicide of a girl student and subsequent action against other Nepalese pupils, the Odisha government's high-level committee summoned KIIT founder Achyuta Samanta for his personal appearance before it on Friday. The Higher Education Department, in a letter to Samanta on Thursday, said, You are requested to appear before the high-level committee on 21.02.2025 at 6.30 pm at State Guest House to adduce evidence with adequate documentary evidence before the committee on the term of reference as stated in the office order. The three-member committee, headed by Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Satyabrata Sahu, is mandated to ascertain the circumstances leading to the suicide, alleged high-handed action by the institute authority, reasons for issuing notice to only a specific group of students and closing the institute sine die for them and other incidental matter that emerges during inquiry. The committee, also comprising the secretaries of higher education department and Women and Child Development (WCD), visited the KIIT campus on Wednesday and held a discussion with some of the Nepalese students who were allegedly mistreated by the staffers of the private institute for staging a demonstration on the campus. Higher Education Minister Suryabanshi Suraj said, The high-level committee is empowered to summon anyone for the purpose of inquiry into the matter. The committee is functioning on the basis of law. Noting that the state government is committed to protecting the interest of students, the minister said. The state government has also discussed with the officials of Nepal Embassy and apprised the students about the developments, he said. The unrest in Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) began after the alleged suicide of 20-year-old Prakriti Lamsal, a student from Nepal, on Sunday afternoon. Other Nepalese students staged agitation and demanded justice. Allegedly annoyed by the demonstration, the KIIT authorities issued suspension notices to about 1,000 Nepalese students and asked them to leave the campus on Monday. Commissioner of Police S Dev Datta Singh, meanwhile, said the police have obtained a three-day remand of a 21-year-old engineering student, who was arrested on charge of abetting the woman's suicide. The student was nabbed at the Biju Patnaik International Airport here while attempting to flee the city on Sunday evening, hours after the woman's death. He has been accused of blackmailing and verbally abusing her. Following the intervention of the Centre and the state government, the KIIT authorities had tendered an apology and requested the Nepalese students to return to the campus. The state government has opened a round-the-clock help desk, to facilitate the Nepalese students' safe return. KIIT student suicide: CM Mohan Charan urges Nepali students to return, assures justice

PATNA: Congress Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru on Thursday said his primary focus is boosting the partys organisational structure in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections scheduled for October-November this year. Talking to media persons at Patna airport, Krishna Allavaru said that he would sit with workers and leaders of the party to chalk out a strategy for strengthening the organisational set-up in the state.

In response to a media query, Allavaru said that the partys main objective is to boost electoral performance in the upcoming election in the state. I will leave no stone unturned to come to the expectations of the partys high command, who has posed faith in me, he asserted. When asked about Congress poll prospects in the upcoming assembly elections, the Bihar in-charge said that though it was a tough challenge for the party to regain its old strength, he would work unitedly to achieve the target. Miljul kar mukabala karenge (we will face it united), he told the media. Allavaru is expected to stay in Bihar for three days.

NIA arrests Kochi man in espionage case
KOCHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a resident of Kochi in connection with an espionage case linked to Visakhapatnam. The arrested is P A Abhilash, also known as Muthu, from Pizhala, Kadamakudy, near Kochi. Abhilash was taken into custody by the NIA Kochi unit on Tuesday and handed over to its Hyderabad unit, which is investigating the case. Abhilash worked at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) and was previously questioned by the NIA in August 2024, along with another CSL employee, following a search on the CSL premises. During the investigation, the NIA seized mobile phone numbers and examined their social media accounts. A source said that apart from Abhilash, two other persons were arrested by the NIA -- Vehtan Laxman Tandel from Karwar, Karnataka, and Akshay Ravi Naik from Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. They were employees at the Karwar naval base and they allegedly shared information about the defence installation with Pakistani intelligence operatives. The NIA investigation revealed that Abhilash also allegedly shared sensitive information about ships with those operating fake social media accounts. In 2021, the Andhra Pradesh Counter Intelligence Cell registered a case against a person named Deepak, who allegedly leaked sensitive defence-related information to foreign intelligence operatives (FIO)in Pakistan. It is suspected that the accused were honey-trapped via social media platforms to divulge sensitive defence information, including photographs. The NIA has already filed a chargesheet in the case. In December 2023, the Kochi City police arrested a Manjeri native, a contract employee at CSL, for sharing information and photographs of naval ships with an FIO operating a bogus social media account under the name Angel Payal. The investigation revealed that foreign intelligence operatives used similar fake social media profiles to trap employees working at sensitive defence establishments across the country. In 2021, an Afghan national was arrested for working at CSL under a fake identity. In 2019, Sumit Kumar Singh from Bihar and Daya Ram from Rajasthan were arrested by the NIA for stealing critical computer components from Indias first indigenous aircraft carrier -- INS Vikrant -- while it was being built at CSL.

North Andhra Graduate MLC Vepada Chiranjeevi Rao announced his support to Raghu Varma along with several teachers associations. Raghu Varma won the election in 2019 with the support of Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (APTF 257 association), and several teachers associations including the United Teachers Federation (UTF) under Progressive Democratic Front (PDF) against Gade Srinivasulu Naidu.

BJP leaders and former MLC PVN Madhav announced his support for Srinivasulu Naidu. APTF (1938), APUS, APPTA, BUS, and a few others announced their support to Gade Srinivasulu Naidu.

Olive Ridley turtle nesting season picks up pace in Andhra
VISAKHAPATNAM: Despite mass strandings of Olive Ridley turtles along the Andhra Pradesh coast in January, nesting activity has remained steady in February, with turtles continuing to arrive on the shores to lay eggs. To aid conservation efforts, the Forest Department has set up four hatcheries along the Visakhapatnam coast at RK Beach, Sagar Nagar, Uppada, and Pedanagamayyapalem. So far, 262 nests containing 26,630 eggs have been relocated to these ex-situ hatcheries for protection. In Vizianagaram, 213 nests with 23,632 eggs have been recorded, while in Bapatla, five nests with a total of 607 eggs have been relocated. On Hope Island, the total nest count stands at 85 as of Wednesday. The Forest Department has also established a conservation hatchery at Chinamainivani Lanka near Narasapuram in West Godavari district. The District Collector inspected the hatchery, which has recorded 4,400 eggs laid in the past month. Officials estimate that the total number of eggs laid along the AP coast could reach 2.5 lakh in the coming two months. The Forest Department has partnered with the Tree Foundation to manage the hatching process in Visakhapatnam this season. Each hatchery is monitored by a team comprising three local fishermen and two Tree Foundation coordinators, while the RK Beach hatchery has four fishermen and one Tree Foundation coordinator. During a field visit by TNIE on Wednesday, hatchery guards overseeing the nesting sites shared their insights. Dasu, a fisherman who has been collecting Olive Ridley turtle eggs at Sagar Nagar for over two decades, highlighted the persistent challenge of predation. Stray dogs are one of the biggest threats to turtle nests. They often reach the nesting sites before us, and attempt to dig up and eat the eggs, he said. He also observed a gradual decline in the number of eggs per nest. Earlier, a single nest contained 200 to 250 eggs, but now it has reduced to around 150 to 180 and sometimes even as low as 80. Changes in climate, ocean conditions, and land patterns caused by humans could be affecting this, he noted. To ensure proper monitoring, the staff record details such as the number of eggs, date of discovery, and estimated hatching date. Each nest is marked with a stick for easy identification. The incubation period for Olive Ridley eggs ranges from 45 to 65 days, after which the hatchlings are carefully transferred to baskets and released onto the beach. We start our work as early as 4 am, walking along the coast to locate nests. The key sign we look for is the distinctive turtle tracks leading to and from the beach, said Srinu, Tree Foundation coordinator at the Sagar Nagar hatchery. The first batch of hatchlings is expected to emerge by the first or second week of March, he added. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of bright artificial lighting along RK Beach. Conservationists believe that the intense beam lights disrupt the nesting process. Most of the recorded nests are located between the Coastal Battery and the Novotel stretch, where the lighting is relatively dim. Conservationists have suggested reducing artificial lighting at night to create a more suitable nesting environment.

NIA conducts raid in Bihar's Bhagalpur, Bhojpur in fake currency racket case
PATNA: Sleuths of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted simultaneous raids in Bihars Bhagalpur and Bhojpur districts on Wednesday in connection with the circulation of counterfeit Indian currency notes in the state. Documents related to transactions of money and electronic devices were recovered during the operation. An NIA team reached Bhagalpur early in the morning and carried out searches in the house of Nagre Saddam, a software engineer currently lodged in the Beur central jail in Patna. The raiding team recovered Indian currency notes, suspected to be counterfeit, from Saddams house located at Bhikhanpur under Ishachak police station limits. Another team conducted a search on the residential premises of two close associates of Nazre Saddams in Bhojpur districts. Authoritative sources said that raids were conducted at Koran Dihtri village under the Sahar police station and Chhatarpura village under the Chauri police station limit in the district. According to police sources, the house of an Urdu school teacher was searched by the NIA team at Chhatarpura village. The teacher in question has close links with Nazre Saddam, who was arrested for his involvement in fake currency notes in September 2024 in the East Champaran district, close to the Indo-Nepal border. The residential premises of two suspects--Mohammad Nehal and Mohammad Wariswere searched by the raiding team. During the investigation, it came to light that Nazre used to supply counterfeit Indian currency to those operating in Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. He also enjoyed close relationships with fake currency dealers of the Anantnag area of Jammu and Kashmir, who had connections with terrorist outfits as well. Mohammad Sarfaraz is one among them. Nazres links with a Nepal-based dealer Santosh Sahni also came to the fore. Sources in NIA said that some important documents related to money transactions and electronic devices were seized during Wednesdays operation. The NIA officials engaged in the operation, however, refused to disclose about the seizures. Later, the NIA team quizzed Mohammad Nisiuzzama, father of Nazre Saddam, at his residence in Bhagalpur.

RJD posters attack NDA government in Bihar; JD(U) reminds RJD of 'lawlessness' under its rule
PATNA: Bihars political climate is heating up ahead of assembly elections, with the main opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) launching a fresh attack on the Nitish Kumar government. On Wednesday RJD erected posters showing the NDA government lying on a ventilator as a patient while the leader of the opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav as a doctor to treat illness. The posters prepared by RJD general secretary Bhai Arun claimed that the Bihar government led by Nitish Kumar is similar to a patient lying on the ventilator for its survival. The posters erected on main roads of the state capital, including Birchand Patel marg showed Tejashwi Yadav taking care of the patient with a lantern (RJDs election symbol) on his hand. The posters also threw light on promises made to the people of the state by Tejashwi during his recent meetings with workers of the party. They talked about 200 units of electricity free of cost, enhancing the old age pension scheme from Rs 400 to Rs 500 and cash benefits to women under Mai-Bahin Samman Yojna besides other poll promises. RJD also attacked the state government for its failure to contain crime. NDA government in Bihar is responsible for the poor law and order situation, the posters said, adding that the situation is going from bad to worse while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is maintaining a stony silence over it. Tejashwi, who is being projected as Grand Alliances chief ministerial candidate, also shared the posters on his social media account ' X '. Tejashwi didnt forget to attach the crime data on his social media account to buttress his point on law and order, which has been the USP of the NDA government in Bihar. RJDs posters attracted sharp reactions from ruling alliance partnersJD(U) and BJP. A senior JD(U) leader and spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that it sounded absurd when Tejashwi attacked Nitish Kumar-led NDA government on law-and-order issue. It seems that he has forgotten RJD rule when people were living under constant threat and fear, he added. Neeraj claimed that 118 incidents of massacres, 66,249 murders, 12,827 rape and 5,243 kidnapping for ransom took place during Lalu Prasads regime. It sounds strange when RJD demands Bharat Ratna for a leader who had once become synonymous with jungle raj for its poor law and order situation, JD(U) MLC added. He also reminded the recent statement of Lalus brother in-law Subhash Yadav who alleged that ransom for the release of affluent captives was finalised after the intervention of Lalu Prasad at the chief ministers official residence. Numerous businessmen migrated to other states out of fear of abduction, he asserted. BJP also echoed similar statements on the issue and said that RJD has no moral right to attack the NDA government, which has been performing exceptionally well. RJD has no moral right to attack NDA at least on law-and-order issue, said BJP leader Rakesh Kumar. ! NDA . . . , pic.twitter.com/8uXghYzYYD Tejashwi Yadav (@yadavtejashwi) February 19, 2025
