Karnataka, a leading silk producer in India now aims to export cocoons to South East Asian countries
BENGALURU: Karnataka is the leader in production of silk sarees and other silk materials in the country, but it will now take the lead in exporting silk cocoons, which are consumed in North-Eastern states and South East Asian countries as they are a rich source of protein. India has seen the opportunity early and found that the demand for silk cocoons is rising from countries where tourism is their primary source of income, like Singapore and other South East Asian countries. India is one of the largest silk producers, and Karnataka is the leader. Silk cocoons from here can be supplied to other countries where the demand is rising. We are working on keeping the cocoons alive after reeling the silk so that they can be exported. Already, the dead pupa, after reeling, is dried, powdered and exported. It is also fed to dogs as a protein supplement, Member Secretary and CEO, Central Silk Board (CSB), Sivakumar Periyasamy, said. R&D is on to keep the pupa alive and documents are being prepared on the modalities for silk extraction from live pupa. In the North-East, eri silk pupa is consumed and in cities like Dimapur in Nagaland, it is sold at Rs 700-1,200 a kg. Consumption of silk cocoons is legal in other countries, and is a traditional practice in North-East India. The demand for mulberry silk cocoons is rising and since Karnataka leads in mulberry silk material production, it is the best place to source cocoon from. There is also a demand for silk protein-rich cosmetics from countries like Thailand. Work is happening to strengthen the silk byproduct sector, including pharmaceuticals. Here, researchers are working with private firms, Periyasamy said. International studies have found silk cocoons to be rich in amino acids, healthy fats, omega-3, minerals and vitamins. It is consumed in large quantities in China, Vietnam and Japan. The CSB is working on giving a stiff competition to China, which is also a large silk producer. An official from the Textile Ministry, also a member of the international seri-commission, not wanting to be named, said, The target for raw silk production is 42,000 metric tonnes annually, but the production is 39,000 metric tonnes, 43% of this is from Karnataka, followed by North-Eastern states. India continues to import 2,500-3,000 metric tonnes from China. Steps are being taken to improve the international grade silk production and stop imports, while work is happening to strengthen the export of silk byproducts, including cocoons. We cannot let the market slip to China.

Three suspected NSCN cadres killed in Assam encounter after 60-hour search operation
GUWAHATI: At least three suspected cadres of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), who entered Assam allegedly to demand extortion money from the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), were killed in an encounter with security forces in Dima Hasao district on Tuesday, officers said. A cache of arms and ammunition were also recovered from their possession by the special units of the state police and Assam Rifles who conducted a search for the militants for around 60 hours. Senior officers of Assam Police headquarters told PTI that the encounter took place at a place between N Kubin and Herakilo under Haflong police station limits after the NSCN cadres came from Nagaland. Acting on a tip-off about the presence of the militants, a joint team of Assam Police and central forces launched an operation in the area. Once face-to-face, a heavy exchange of fire between the security team and militants ensued, a top officer said. In the gunfight, which lasted for 3-4 hours, three militants were killed on the spot, he added. We have recovered two AK-47 rifles, one pistol and a cache of ammunition from the spot, another senior officer said. He said the area is slightly interior and further details are awaited.

Search of the area led to the discovery of three bodies. The deceased are suspected to belong to some faction of NSCN, the release said.

INTERVIEW | ECI must clear air on surge in electors: Former EC Ashok Lavasa
Former Election Commissioner (EC) Ashok Lavasa speaks to Preetha Nair about the current controversy surrounding the duplication of Electoral Photo Identity Card ( EPIC) and says the only document available to weed it out is the unique identification number. Excerpts from the interview: Whats view on the row over duplicate Election Photo Identity cards? We have to look at it from two different points of view. The complaint that has been filed concerns people having the same EPIC number, that is, more than one person having the same EPIC number. The Election Commission has also acknowledged that the problem exists and is trying to resolve it. It is a welcome sign, and the issue should not be politicised. The other issue is de-duplication, which the EC has been attempting for a long time. One problem is one person having one EPIC number registering himself in more than one place, and the other is two people having the same EPIC number. We need to believe what the CEC has said that they will try to ensure that every voter has a unique Epic number. ECI said its a legacy issue. How can it be addressed? The ECI is right. Earlier, the electoral registration system was with the state chief electoral officers and district electoral officers. Now, the electoral roll database of states and UTs has been shifted to the integrated ERONET platform. ERONET requires every state to have a different series. However, regarding the de-duplication issue, the EC has to devise a mechanism to identify which elector is registering at more than one place. The ECI is set to link the voter ID card with Aadhaar. This is at variance with its earlier position that linkage could be optional. The only document available to weed out the duplication of voter cards is the unique identification number (UID). So, if you link Aadhaar with the electoral roll that is the only possible way to assign any uniqueness to the voter list or the EPIC unless some other viable technical methodology is found. Many have raised concerns about privacy infringement, voter profiling, etc. The Aadhaar Act does not make having an Aadhaar mandatory. The EC has held, and in my view, the right to vote is not dependent on having an Aadhaar. That should be separated. As far as the Aadhaar is concerned, it can be used for administrative purposes to de-duplicate. That doesnt mean you can deny somebody the right to be included in the electoral list if they are eligible. Shouldnt it be optional? If you make it optional, it cannot be used as a screening mechanism. The debate should be on how to de-duplicate. As far as the present system is concerned, this is the only way because Aadhaar has biometrics. We need to ask ourselves a question: What harm can be caused to a voter if it is identified that she is the unique person registered on the electoral roll? The privacy of her Aadhaar can still be protected as provided for in the law. Opposition parties flagged concerns on the alleged surge in electors during the Assembly polls in Maharashtra and Delhi. How will one explain the surge? Identifying the voters uniqueness is an answer to that problem because one person is not supposed to have more than one Aadhaar. Regarding the surge in the number of electors, the EC must explain why the number of electors registered increased abnormally. That is one part of the story. The question is how to de-duplicate them if these people were already enrolled in another place and were also enrolled here. The EC is already in consultation with political parties and technical departments. So they have to come up with a solution because there are already 98 crore registered voters. We dont know how many people could be registered in more than one place; the same person registered in more than one place. In my view, Aadhaar is the only document that can be used for de-duplication. The Opposition has been alleging of manipulation of EVMs. Are they susceptible to it? These are two different questions - whether EVMs have been manipulated and if they can be manipulated. Since these matters are in court, the EC will come up with its explanation and let the courts decide. There have been over 40 cases in the courts on this. The court has given neither an opinion nor judgment against the EVMs or suggestions that EVMs are manipulated. On the question of whether the EVMs can be manipulated in the future, I feel that the EC, along with the stakeholders, must continuously review the systems to plug any loopholes. The Opposition wants 100% verification of VVPAT slips. Let the EC talk to the stakeholders, and if they think this will create confidence, then they can go for 100% counting of slips in one or two random assembly constituencies. The courts have increased VVPAT verification to five random EVMs in each Assembly segment, and no discrepancy has been found so far. The electoral process is about building confidence. How can the trust deficit between the EC and the Opposition be bridged? Its about engaging with the stakeholders, taking their concerns seriously, and respond. Transparency will create more confidence. CEC and ECs appointment under the new law is being contested by the Opposition A more broad-based selection panel will create greater confidence. Your view on One Nation, One Election It is essential to consider whether the administrative gains or the management efficiency through simultaneous elections is beneficial. I dont see how an election in Kerala or Nagaland affects any other state. The provisions in the draft bill say that in the event of a government falling in the middle of its tenure, there will be a new election, but it will be for a curtailed period. If they are still not ruling out the possibility of elections taking place, its of no advantage.

Javed Akhtar describes poetry as language of justice; says right wing failed to give any big poet
MUMBAI: Describing poetry as the language of justice and vocal cords of society, renowned screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar has said the right wing has not been able to create any big poet across the world. He was addressing a gathering on Friday evening at Annabhau Sathe Auditorium in Byculla of central Mumbai after receiving the 'Namdeo Dhasal Samashti Award' during the Samashti Arts and Literature Festival. The two-day event, which started on April 11, has been organised in memory of noted Marathi poet and Dalit activist late Namdeo Dhasal. People who listen to poetry of romance do not know that poetry is not only the language of love, but it is also the language of justice. The value system of poetry is culturally correct all over the world. And this is the reason why in the history of the world, the right wing has never been able to create a big poet, he said. Poetry believes in equality, it believes in justice and the same poetry which preaches these values has been accepted across the world, he said. A big poet is the one who speaks about justice, and the poet (Dhasal) in whose name we are gathered here today spoke about justice, Akhtar said. A fish does not have vocal cords. It does not scream or does not have a voice. So you do not know its pain or torture it is suffering, he added. Poetry is the vocal cords of society. Mahatma Phule and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar provided vocal cords to the voiceless...The whole movement of ours, which is for social justice, was born in Maharashtra, he said. Dhasal was not a poet of the 20th century, he was born thousands of years ago, the screenwriter-lyricist said. Lava does not come out in a day. It takes years for its formation and it comes out with an explosion, by breaking the mountain one day, he said, and likened Dhasal to a volcano. After the speech, Akhtar also read the Urdu translation of Dhasal's poem 'Raktat Petlelya Aganit Suryanno'. Sandeep Tamgadge, Additional Director General of Police of Nagaland, in his speech praised Samashti Foundation. Civilisation and culture are never of a particular class or society. They belong to everyone, he said, adding that many times, a particular class that does not have a voice does not get a popular stage. If you see TV and other media, they are continuously discussing one particular ideology and do not bother to show the other sides of the coin, he said. Journalists Dnyanesh Maharao, Raju Parulekar, Shyamal Garud, Amol Deolekar, Disha Wadekar and others were honoured at the festival.

Gujarat ATS busts fake arms license racket with Northeast-Haryana nexus; Guns, cartridges seized
AHMEDABAD: In a major crackdown, the Gujarat ATS has exposed a racket involving bogus arms licenses issued to Gujaratis using fake addresses from Nagaland and Manipur. Acting on intelligence, the ATS seized over 21 firearms and 624 live cartridges, unearthing a deep-rooted network. The probe revealed that individuals from Haryana were behind the issuance of these counterfeit licenses linked to the Northeast. So far, 108 people have been booked, with 23 already arrested, while a massive manhunt is underway to nab the remaining accused. Tightening its grip on the fake arms license racket, the Gujarat ATS has arrested 16 more individuals linked to the scam. This fresh wave of arrests follows the April 8 operation, where seven accused were caught with six illegal weapons and 135 live cartridges. Building on their remand and interrogation, ATS swiftly tracked down and apprehended 16 additional suspects, intensifying the probe into the growing arms license fraud. Gujarat ATS DySP S.L. Chaudhary told reporters on Thursday, The ATS had registered a case related to bogus arms licenses and initially arrested seven accused. The court granted an 11-day remand for their interrogation. During this period, we received information about 16 more individuals involved. The ATS acted swiftly and recovered 15 weapons and 489 cartridges from them. Several bogus licenses have also been seized. The 16 recently arrested accused were lured into the bogus arms license racket after encountering the initial seven suspects flaunting weapons at religious functions and weddings. Captivated by the display, they expressed interest in owning licensed firearms themselves. Investigations revealed these individuals paid between Rs 5 lakh to Rs 25 lakh to secure fake arms licenses and weapons from states outside Gujarat, using payment channels like Angadiya networks and bank transfers. The earlier seven accused operated as walking advertisements - strapping firearms to their waists at public gatherings to attract attention. Once approached, they guided curious onlookers through the forged process, collecting documents like Aadhaar cards and three years' I-T returns. Within days, they delivered fake licenses and arms - provided the hefty payment was made. The 16 recently arrested individuals have confessed to acquiring fake arms licenses and weapons directly from the seven suspects earlier held by the Gujarat ATS. Key accused - Saukat Ali, Farooq Ali, Sohim Ali, and Asif - had procured forged licenses from Nagaland and Manipur while operating out of Nuh, Haryana. Investigations have now revealed that this Haryana-based network issued bogus licenses to at least 37 individuals. Alarmingly, ATS suspects possible complicity of officials from Nagaland and Manipur in enabling the arms license scam, pushing the probe into inter-state corruption territory.
