Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 19 (IANS) A Primary Agriculture Credit Society (PACS) president was shot dead, and the husband of a block chief was critically injured after unidentified assailants opened fire in Bihars Maner area, near Patna. The incident took place at Byapur village under the jurisdiction of Maner police station on Sunday night, triggering panic among the residents. The deceased was identified as Sanjit Kumar, alias Bhalu, the PACS president. Pintu Kumar, husband of Maner block chief Rinki Devi, sustained a gunshot wound and is undergoing treatment. According to preliminary information, Sanjit Kumar and Pintu Kumar were sitting in the courtyard of Sanjit Kumars residence when four assailants arrived on two motorcycles and opened fire. The attackers allegedly targeted Sanjit Kumar first. When Pintu Kumar attempted to intervene, he was also shot. Both men sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a private hospital in Danapur with the help of local residents. Sanjit Kumar later succumbed to his injuries, while Pintu Kumar remained in critical condition. The assailants fled immediately after the shooting. Following the information about the incident, Maner police reached the spot and launched an investigation. Danapur DSP-2 Amarendra Kumar Jha also visited the village and initiated an inquiry. Police are examining CCTV footage from the area to identify the attackers and establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Speaking about the incident, Jha said both men had sustained gunshot wounds. Sanjit Kumar was shot in the chest, while Pintu Kumar sustained an injury to his thigh. Sanjit Kumar died during treatment, and Pintu Kumar was receiving medical attention, Jha said. According to the DSP, preliminary findings suggest that longstanding enmity and electoral rivalry could be behind the attack. However, the motive has not yet been conclusively established, and the investigation is continuing. The shooting has created an atmosphere of fear in Byapur and neighbouring areas, with villagers gathering at the scene after learning about the incident. Police are working to identify and arrest the assailants. Further details regarding the motive, the suspects and the possible connection with electoral rivalry are awaited as the investigation progresses.

'Echoing RSS statements, should read more': Congress, RJD on BJP chief's remarks against Rahul
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) The Congress and its ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Nitin Nabin over his remarks against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of repeating the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) narrative rather than addressing substantive political issues. The criticism came a day after Nabin, while addressing a gathering in Patna on Saturday, accused Gandhi of acting as a pawn of a foreign toolkit gang and working against the interests of the country. He also alleged that the Congress was unable to accept the progress India had made under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and was consequently attempting to undermine the country's development. Reacting to Nabin's comments, Karnataka Congress President B.K. Hariprasad said the BJP chief was merely echoing statements made by the RSS and challenged the ruling party to substantiate its allegations about a purported foreign-linked toolkit. Addressing reporters, Hariprasad said, The BJP President, Nitin Nabin, has a habit of simply repeating the remarks given to him by the RSS. If there is a toolkit, let them explain it. Who is stopping them? If he thinks protecting the Constitution and hoisting the tricolour are part of a toolkit, I consider that childish. The RJD also joined the Congress in criticising Nabin. Speaking to IANS, RJD Rajya Sabha member Manoj Jha questioned the BJP chief's understanding of political discourse and urged him to read more before making allegations against the opposition. Hitting back at the BJP leader, Jha said: Please do a little reading, Nitin Nabin ji. I can name dozens of books that explain how, whenever those in power feel threatened, they look for a foreign hand. Someone before him had also mentioned a foreign hand. I have written about this on social media as well. Jha further argued that the BJP chief should rely on substantive arguments and verified information instead of circulating claims. You should read, as you are the national President of one of the world's largest political parties. WhatsApp forwards will not work. Today, the public fact-checks everything. They can fact-check your statements too and clarify everything within an hour. What has your government done about income inequality, the plight of farmers and labourers? he asked. The exchange comes against the backdrop of protests organised by the Congress-led INDIA bloc against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls.

AdaniConneX's Vizag data centres to use air cooling, limit freshwater use
AdaniConneX's planned data centre campuses in Visakhapatnam, being developed in partnership with Google, will use air-cooled systems to eliminate the need for water-based evaporative cooling and keep freshwater consumption across three sites to less than the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool, according to the project details. The campuses at Mudasarlova and Tarluvada are part of a proposed data centre development with a capacity of about 1 gigawatt, as Visakhapatnam seeks to emerge as a major hub for artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Unlike conventional data centres that use evaporative cooling systems and cooling towers, the proposed facilities will rely on air-based cooling technology, avoiding the large volumes of water typically consumed by such systems, sources with knowledge of the matter said. Of the limited freshwater required across the three sites, around 80 per cent will be used for landscaping, kitchens and worker facilities, with water recycled

Bihar: Pappu Yadav questions the Centre over Nepal policy
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 17 (IANS) Purnea MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav on Saturday questioned the Narendra Modi government over its response to Gen Z-led political developments in Nepal and Bangladesh, while alleging that the Centre had failed to provide adequate assistance to flood-hit Bihar. Addressing a press conference in Purnea, Yadav criticised the Centre over the alleged lack of financial assistance and public outreach for flood victims in Bihar. He claimed that the Prime Minister had extended financial assistance to Nepal during floods, but had not announced any comparable aid for Bihar amid the ongoing devastating floods. Yadav also alleged that the Prime Minister had neither issued a statement nor posted on social media to console families affected by the floods in Bihar. Referring to political developments in Nepal and Bangladesh, Yadav questioned the Centres approach towards governments and political leaders in the two neighbouring countries. When the Gen Z protest happened in Nepal, followed by a change of regime, the Narendra Modi government recognised the government of Nepal. When the Gen Z protest happened in Bangladesh, why did it provide shelter to Sheikh Hasina? he asked. Yadav also questioned whether the Indian government had any role in the political upheaval in Nepal, while clarifying that the question was his own and had nothing to do with the Congress party. If the Narendra Modi government has recognised the Balen Shah government in Nepal, then why are Delhi Police and other paramilitary forces allegedly using force against our Gen Z protesters in New Delhi? he asked. He also criticised the alleged treatment of women protesters during demonstrations in the national capital. Yadav claimed that the national capital had effectively been turned into a cantonment, alleging that more than one lakh police and security personnel had been deployed to prevent peaceful protests. He further alleged that train and metro services had been suspended, internet access had been restricted in selected areas, and activists had been detained or placed under house arrest for participating in demonstrations and displaying the national flag. Questioning the Centres handling of the protests, Yadav asked why students and young demonstrators were being treated in such a manner. The MPs remarks came amid controversy over police action against protesters in New Delhi. His allegations regarding flood assistance, security deployment and restrictions on transport and internet services were not independently verified in the information available.

NCW chief Vijaya Rahatkar calls for gender-sensitive justice, upholding women's dignity
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 17 (IANS) National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on Saturday shared insights on gender-sensitive justice and the need for consistency, sensitivity and compassion, referring to two High Court decisions related to sexual offences against women in which the gravity of crimes appeared to have been diluted. In a post on social media platform X, Rahatkar shared details of the two cases in which the accused's offences were interpreted under less severe penal provisions by the High Courts, rejecting pleas to convict them for attempt to commit rape. THE NCW Chief said, Justice must be guided by law and evidence, while its language and reasoning must uphold the dignity of every survivor. Gender-sensitive adjudication is essential to strengthening public confidence in the justice system. Rahatkar added, The National Commission for Women recognises that every case must be decided on its own facts, circumstances, evidence and applicable law. At the same time, these judgments highlight the importance of clarity and consistency in applying the legal distinction between 'preparation' and 'attempt' in sexual offences. One of the cases cited by the NCW chairperson was Md. Ainul Haque versus State of Bihar case from the Patna High Court. The other was from the Allahabad High Court. In the Patna High Court case, the order said, The act of the appellant in entering, late at night, in the dwelling house of a widow who was sleeping, extinguishing the lamp, lying upon her person and pressing her mouth was sufficient to establish an offence under Section 354 IPC (outraging modesty). However, in the absence of evidence of undressing or any act towards penetration, the act did not amount to an attempt to commit rape (IPC Section 376 read with Section 511). The other case, arose from the Allahabad High Court's order relating to the alleged act of pulling a victim's pyjama drawstring, which prompted the Supreme Court to initiate suo motu proceedings, the NCW Chief said. Rahatkar also drew attention towards the National Judicial Academy's published handbook, Judgments and Gender: Sensitivity and Compassion in Writing Judgments, calling for the need for strengthening gender-sensitive judicial reasoning and language. The NCW Chairperson pointed to the key principles incorporated in the handbook that include: Understanding evidence in the context of the trauma experienced by survivors; avoiding language that stereotypes, stigmatises or undermines a survivor's dignity and recognising sexual offences as violations of bodily autonomy, personal dignity and individual rights, rather than viewing them through notions of chastity, family honour or morality. Advocating sensitivity in judicial language, Rahatkar said that gender-sensitive judgments must communicate with fairness, dignity and empathy and treating survivors of sexual violence with respect and compassion, without implying that they are responsible for the offence committed against them.
Bihar: Four, including three minors, drown in Son River in Bhojpur during Navratri
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 17 (IANS) Four people, including three minors, drowned while bathing in the Son River near Teerthkaul village in Bihars Bhojpur district on Saturday. The incident occurred under the jurisdiction of Sandesh police station, plunging the village into mourning during the Navratri festivities. The victims were identified as Akash Kumar (15), Prem Kumar (10), Siddhant Kumar (16) and Sudhir Kumar (25). According to an official, the three minors had gone to the river to bathe when they entered deep water and began to drown. Sudhir Kumar reportedly jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue them, but was also unable to return to safety. The incident triggered panic among residents, who alerted the police and administration. A search operation was subsequently launched, with assistance from rescue personnel and villagers. Sandesh Station House Officer (SHO) Sanjeev Kumar confirmed that four people had died by drowning. The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) recovered all four bodies from the river, according to officials. The bodies are being sent to Ara for post-mortem examinations, and further legal procedures are underway. Block Development Officer Binesh Kumar and SHO Sanjeev Kumar were present at the site following the incident. News of the tragedy drew a crowd of residents and relatives to the riverbank. The deaths have left the four families devastated and cast a pall of gloom over Teerthkaul and neighbouring areas. The incident highlights the risks of bathing in rivers, where water depth and currents can be difficult to assess. Authorities advise people to avoid entering deep or unfamiliar waters. The surface could be uneven due to the digging of sand. The incident occurred just days after 13 people lost their lives when a boat capsized in the Ganga River in Bihars Vaishali district. The victims were reportedly crossing the river to attend a feast when the boat capsized. Seven people managed to swim to safety.
