Arunachal gives priority to agriculture, allied sectors since 2019: CM Pema Khandu
Digital Desk | Itanagar, Sep 7 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday said that the state government has accorded special priority to the agriculture and allied sectors since 2019, with a coordinated approach among the Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries and Animal Husbandry departments yielding significant results. The Chief Minister on Monday inaugurated the State Agriculture Information Hub-cum-Farmers Hostel at Naharlagun and flagged off the Matsya e-Vaahini and e-Rickshaw, describing the initiatives as important additions to the states efforts to transform agriculture and allied sectors into sustainable and profitable avenues of livelihood and entrepreneurship. Addressing the function, he said that Arunachal farmers are hardworking and what they need is greater technical knowledge, better market linkages and professional guidance on value addition. Khandu recalled that before 2019, the four departments were handled under separate ministerial portfolios, resulting in inadequate coordination. To address this, the state government brought the allied sectors under a coordinated ministerial framework. He said Arunachal Pradesh was uniquely blessed with diverse agro-climatic conditions ranging from tropical and subtropical regions in the foothills to temperate and alpine zones, providing immense potential for agriculture and horticulture. With such diverse climatic conditions, Arunachal Pradesh is one of the best States in the country for farming. We must make full use of this natural advantage, he said. The Chief Minister also emphasised the need for continuous training of departmental officers so that they could effectively guide farmers on modern technologies, government schemes and emerging opportunities. Highlighting the importance of organised entrepreneurship, Khandu said the government has created platforms such as Self-Help Groups (SHGs), Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Farmer Producer Companies and other collective enterprises to help farmers and rural entrepreneurs professionally manage their businesses and access institutional support. He said nearly 1.50 lakh women in Arunachal Pradesh have been associated with the SHG movement over the past decade, with women in even remote villages receiving training and successfully taking up various livelihood and business activities. The government has also facilitated the formation of FPOs and farmer producer companies across districts to enable farmers to access government schemes, banking support and professional business opportunities. This infrastructure should not merely be used; it should be used meaningfully, Khandu said, adding that farmers would be able to stay at the hostel and participate in week-long or longer specialised training programmes on specific crops and allied activities. He urged the Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries and Animal Husbandry to utilise the facility to its fullest potential and organise training programmes suited to the specific challenges and opportunities of Arunachal Pradesh. The departments, he said, should identify the best experts from across the country and expose farmers to modern technologies, technical know-how, value addition and market-oriented farming practices.

Women's Asia Cup: Nashra Sandhu's six-wicket haul helps Pakistan qualify for semis
Digital Desk | Dubai, Sep 7 (IANS) A brilliant maiden six-wicket haul by left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu in T20Is helped Pakistan Women beat Hong Kong Women by 72 runs in their Group A match of the ACC Womens T20 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium (DICS) in Dubai on Monday. With this win, Pakistan confirmed their place in the semifinals of the eight-team tournament. Pakistan will now take on Sri Lanka in the second semifinal, scheduled for September 11. Defending a modest total of 144 built mainly on a brisk 47 by Shawaal Zulfiqar, the 28-year-old Nashra never allowed the Hong Kong batters to get going. Wickets fell at regular intervals as Pakistan bowled their opponents out for a paltry 71 to win the match with six balls to spare. Player of the Match Nashra finished with figures of 4-0-7-6, which were also the best bowling figures by a Pakistan womens cricketer in T20Is, surpassing Omaima Sohails five for 13 in four overs against Sri Lanka in Sylhet, Bangladesh in 2022. Earlier, opting to bat first, Pakistan scored 143 for eight in their allotted 20 overs. Right-handed batter Shawaal top-scored with a 35-ball 47, hitting seven fours. Ayesha Zafar (26, 19b, 4x4) and captain Fatima Sana (24 not out, 24b, 2x6) were the other notable run-scorers for Pakistan, who had earlier on Sunday lost to archrivals India in their second match in the league. For Hong Kong, Joyleen Kaur was the most successful bowler, taking four wickets for 19 runs. Pakistan finished second in Group A, earning four points from two wins in three matches. They had won their first match against Thailand in the tournament. Brief scores: Pakistan 143/8 in 20 overs (Shawaal Zulfiqar 47, Ayesha Zafar 26, Fatima Sana 24 not out; Joyleen Kaur 4-19, Iqra Sahar 2-27, Kary Chan 2-33) beat Hong Kong 71 all out in 19 overs (Kary Chan 30; Nashra Sandhu 6-7) by 72 runs

Bhopal Police chief issues strict order against inflammatory social media content
Digital Desk | Bhopal, Sep 8 (IANS) In a bid to safeguard communal harmony and public order, Bhopal Urban Police Commissioner Sanjay Kumar has issued a preventive order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, prohibiting the circulation of objectionable and inflammatory content on social media platforms. The order released on Monday follows concerns raised by media and the public that anti-social elements have been using platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Instagram, Telegram and others to spread messages, images, videos and audio clips capable of disrupting the social fabric, creating enmity between communities and hurting religious sentiments in Bhopal city. According to the order, such content, especially when accompanied by comments and cross-comments, often fuels greater hostility than the original social media posts themselves. The Commissioner noted that these internet social media wars remain active and pose a real threat to public peace and law and order. Under the restrictions, no person shall misuse any social media platform to circulate messages that inflame religious, social or caste-based sentiments or promote enmity. The transmission of any objectionable or provocative photos, videos or audio that could spark communal discord is banned. Users are also prohibited from liking, commenting on, sharing or forwarding such posts. Group administrators have been made personally responsible for preventing the spread of such content in their groups. No individual is also allowed to spread communal, religious or caste hatred, create enmity, provoke or incite violence, or circulate rumours and distorted facts that could lead people or communities into violence or illegal activities. Calls for gatherings aimed at unlawful activities that threaten law and order are also forbidden, the order warned. Owners of cyber cafes within Bhopal city limits must not permit unidentified persons to use their facilities. They are required to maintain a register recording the handwritten name, address, telephone number and identity proof of every user, and install web cameras to photograph visitors and preserve the records. The order has been issued ex-parte under Section 163(2) of the BNSS in the interest of public safety, as there was insufficient time to serve notices to all concerned parties. It takes effect immediately and will remain in force for two months unless withdrawn earlier. Violation of the order, the Police Commissioner said, is punishable under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, among other applicable laws.

UNEP says investing in climate action, air quality to boost economic prosperity
Digital Desk | Nairobi, Sep 7 (IANS) Investments in climate action and air pollution control are key to driving economic prosperity and improving ecosystem and human health, according to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Monday. The report, titled Hidden Assets: The economic and health case for climate and clean air action, was released on the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, which is observed annually on September 7. Compiled by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the report is the first comprehensive global economic assessment of integrated climate and clean-air action, Xinhua News Agency reported. The study demonstrates a significant return on investment, showing that every 1 US dollar allocated toward climate and air pollution solutions generates approximately 15 dollars in economic returns, alongside substantial reductions in pollution-linked mortality and medical expenses. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen underscored that carbon neutrality and air quality are foundational to global development, public health, energy and food security, and environmental stability. Andersen emphasised that strong leadership from both the public and financial sectors, coupled with effective policy frameworks and technological innovation, is critical to curbing climate-warming emissions and improving global air quality. To operationalise these goals, the report recommends 25 specific interventions that span six sectors: energy and fossil fuel systems, industry, transport, agriculture and food systems, residential cooking and heating, and waste management. It combines both long-term decarbonisation measures and measures that target super pollutants such as methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons. Should the 25 solutions be implemented, annual economic benefits would reach around 2.8 per cent of global GDP by 2035, 4.5 per cent by 2050 and 11.4 per cent by 2100. Market returns exceed implementation costs within 10 years, according to the report. In addition, the 25 measures could avoid an estimated 0.34 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 and 1.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, the report says. The 25 measures will also avert 144 million air pollution-related premature deaths alongside millions of cases of chronic disease by 2050, according to the report.

Over 4,000-year-old tomb discovered at Egypt's Saqqara
Digital Desk | Cairo, Sep 7 (IANS) Egypt on Monday announced the discovery of an over 4,000-year-old tomb dating to the late Fifth Dynasty (2494-2345 BC) at the Mariette Cemetery north of Saqqara, Giza Province, west of Cairo. According to a statement from Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the tomb, discovered by a joint Egyptian-Spanish archaeological mission, dates to the reign of King Djedkare Isesi. The medium-sized mastaba contains two funerary chapels. One belonged to Yunmin, a senior official who served as judge, court director, and chief of scribes responsible for handling petitions and complaints, Xinhua News Agency reported. Excavations in Yunmin's chapel uncovered a distinctive facade inscribed with funerary texts and an offering formula, alongside a depiction of the tomb owner in a formal pose. The chapel's walls were decorated with high-quality raised reliefs depicting agricultural activities and processions carrying offerings to the tomb. The second chapel belonged to Yunmin's father, Ity, a scribe involved in administering agricultural lands and offerings. It features a false door and colourful wall decorations of offering scenes, though much of the paint has faded. Hisham El-Leithy, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the discovery provides new archaeological information about the Saqqara cemetery during the late Fifth Dynasty and sheds further light on the architectural and artistic styles of tombs from the period. In July, the Ministry announced the discovery of a Pharaonic tomb on the West Bank of Luxor, unearthed during ongoing archaeological excavations. According to a ministry statement, the discovery was made by a Dutch archaeological mission working within the Theban Necropolis. Hisham Elleithy, secretary-general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), said inscriptions identify the tomb's owner as Paser, with wall reliefs tentatively dating the structure to the New Kingdom (1550 BC-1069 BC). Elleithy noted that the archaeological team will conduct comprehensive documentation and analysis to identify those buried at the site and reconstruct their histories, aiming to place the tomb within its broader historical and cultural context.

ED searches multiple locations in Bengal in over Rs 280 crore bank fraud
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 7 (IANS) Enforcement Directorate's (ED) Kolkata Zonal Office recently conducted search operations at 12 premises across West Bengal under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with the investigation into the Kohinoor Power Pvt. Ltd. (KPPL) bank fraud involving default of more than Rs 280 crore, the central probe agency said in a statement on Monday. According to the ED, the investigation was initiated on the basis of the complaint filed by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) before the 2nd Special Court at Kolkata in respect of the affairs of Kohinoor Power Private Limited (KPPL) and others. Investigation into the affairs of the company was ordered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) pursuant to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) forwarding a list of companies in respect of which the Resolution Professional (RP) had fled applications before the NCLT concerning avoidance transactions. The ED investigation has revealed that KPPL, along with its directors indulged in fraudulent activities, including submission of false information, concealment of material facts, falsification/manipulation of books of accounts and diversion of loan funds, thereby dishonestly inducing the consortium banks to sanction and disburse financial facilities. The ED investigation has further revealed that the company eventually went into liquidation under the IBC and only around Rs 7 crore could be recovered, leading to 97.5 per cent haircut to the banks. Further investigation has revealed possession of dozens of immovable properties in and around Kolkata acquired from the proceeds of crime, from which the promoters were allegedly enjoying rental income of around Rs 26 lakh per month. Search operations have revealed that the promoters of the company Vijay Bothra and Prashant Bothra, are controlling more than 100 shell entities which were allegedly being used for siphoning and laundering the proceeds of crime generated from the bank fraud. Further, large sums have also been invested abroad in the name of relatives and dummy directors. Search operations resulted in freezing of bank accounts of more than 150 shell entities/individuals along with securities and other financial investments, including shares, mutual funds and debt securities. The total value of the bank balances and financial assets frozen during the operations is around Rs 64 crore. Search operations also resulted in seizure of incriminating digital evidences, company records, financial documents, property deeds, etc, have been seized during the search operations, which are being analysed for tracing the proceeds of crime and identifying further assets acquired from them.
YSRCP again demands Lokesh's resignation over DSC scam
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 7 (IANS) YSR Congress Party on Monday reiterated its demand for the resignation of Andhra Pradesh Education Minister Nara Lokesh, claiming that more and more evidence is coming out with every passing day in the alleged DSC exam. YSRCP State Coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy told media persons that with new evidence surfacing every passing day and the cover-up bid of the coalition turning meek and weak, Lokesh should quit his post instead of asking officials to give rejoinders. It seems that the DSC was conducted in a manner that teacher posts were on the offer for price, and the government defence has been shrinking with new evidence coming out, he said. All fingers are pointing towards Lokesh in the DSC, and he is to blame for the irregularities, and he cannot shirk responsibility, he said. If there is a scam, someone should take responsibility, and how can we believe that there will be a fair inquiry unless it is by a Central agency, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said. He alleged that the coalition government has been gagging the media that has been exposing the DSC scam by blocking the social media handles in an unjust manner. The irregularities are glaring in the sports quota appointments, and the government is running for cover from the pointed questions, backed by data, being raised by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he said. The YSRCP leader said that while gold medalists do not get jobs, people with participation certificates have been given jobs and the issuance and cancellation of GOs after the purpose is served further strengthen the fact that there are irregularities in the DSC. There are allegations that there have been paper leaks and the topper had access to the question bank, and his name was deleted from the merit list when the issue came into the open, he said. Lokesh, who has been talking tall on the issue, should have answered our questions in the Council, and why did he run away from facing the YSRCP, he asked. He alleged that Chandrababu is trying to shield his son from the issue, which is the reason why only officials are coming out to speak and not the concerned minister, he said and demanded the resignation of the Education Minister.
