Kolkata : West Bengal Governor M.K. Narayanan Monday termed the overall law and order situation in the state as "broadly under control" and said the government was giving the highest priority to address offences against women.
Delivering his annual address to the state assembly, Narayanan praised the policies of the Mamata Banerjee government and said it had a "zero tolerance" to those resorting to violence.
"The overall law and order situation in the state has been broadly under control with no major communal incidents or significant increase in general crime," he said.
The governor said the government was addressing the social evil of offences against women by giving it the highest priority.
He said the government has come up with a "standard operating procedures (SOPs)" for dealing with sexual assault victims while strict instructions have been given for "quick and scientific investigation of such cases and trials in fast track courts".
The state government has set up a Special Operations Group to "monitor, investigate and conduct operations" against misguided elements who resort to violence, he said. He said the SOG has "met with considerable success".
Refering to the Saradha Group chit fund scam, Narayanan said the state government has provided assistance to over 2.37 lakh small investors who had squandered their savings by parking their money with the Group companies.
The opposition was sharply critical of the governor's address. The Congress later dubbed it as a "document of lies" and said the governor was compelled to read the speech prepared by the state government.
Speaking to media persons, senior Congress leader Manas Bhuniya accused the government of efforts to take credit for the central schemes, and challenged the governor's comments that law and order situation was "broadly under control".
"The state has recorded the highest number of crimes against women. It is second in rape incidents," he said.
Bhuniya also remarked that the government was utilising funds from the state exchequer for repaying those who lost their savings by investing in the Saradha Group, while the "properties of the company was not being auctioned off".
However, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee alleged that the opposition was only "spreading canards" when the government was working for the state's progress.

WARWICKSHIRE Police has been praised for its contribution to boosting officer numbers nationally.
Following the announcement the Government had met its target of recruiting 20,000 new police officers, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe said Warwickshire’s contribution to the total had been significant, despite being one of the smallest forces in the country.
Warwickshire Police’s officer headcount has grown by over 300 since 2016, with around half of these being funded through the Police Uplift Programme. The remainder were funded by local taxpayers through the police precept.
It means the county’s police force now has more than 1,100 police officers, which represents its highest total across a more than 160-year history. It moves the headcount ahead of that seen at the beginning of austerity in 2010, when the force had 973 officers and above the previous high of 1,051 in 2007.
Mr Seccombe said: “It’s great news for local communities as it means that there are now more officers for the chief constable to deploy, enabling the new operational policing model which is being rolled out across the county.
“It supports the establishment of new specialist teams, as well as allowing the force the flexibility to make changes in how it investigates crime, operating more effectively and delivering an improved response to the public.
“I am confident that as more and more of the newly recruited officers complete their training and go onto permanent active duty, we will also continue to see improvements in police visibility, including across our Safer Neighbourhood Teams, which continue to be highly valued by the public.”

Shareholder capitalism postulates that there is more substance to business than making money.
This piece argues tech companies should embrace shareholder capitalism instead of focusing on financial achievements while reaching out to the customers. Pitches should emphasise the company’s efforts during the pandemic to communicate about their commitment to a higher cause.
Focusing on how the company is helping its employees during the crisis can help the brand craft stories that resonate better with their readers. Companies can also write pitches that highlight their investments in new technologies and the effective ways of using them.
Organisations can also talk about the major strategic shifts that they are making in their businesses. But, PR professionals should ensure the tone of these pitches are more sensitive and visionary.

Vijayawada: Stating that the BJP had turned vindictive towards Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Sunday that the Centre had destroyed the state on all fronts. Talking to reporters after releasing a White Paper on bifurcation assurances and the status of implementation of the AP Reorganisation Act, Mr Naidu said that it was important to show that the BJP was guilty of not supporting Andhra Pradesh’s development and had instead, created hurdles. He lambasted the TRS for taking a U-turn on the Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh.
Mr Naidu said that while he was demanding a rightful share from the Centre as per the AP Reorganisation Act and other bifurcation assurances given by the then Prime Minister on the floor of the House like Special Category Status, the Centre had been trying to intimidate him and his party members by unleashing suppressive measures. He said that TRS president and Telangana state Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his daughter and Nizamabad MP K. Kavitha had openly supported the Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh at the time of bifurcation, but changed their stand just before the Telangana elections. Mr Naidu said that the BJP, TRS, YSRC and Jana Sena have ganged up and are conspiring against Andhra Pradesh.
Mr Naidu lamented that while the state government had submitted proposals and detailed project reports seeking the release of more than Rs 35,000 crore for the construction of the new capital city, the Centre had released only Rs 1,500 crore. He blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not standing by the promise he made when he attended the foundation laying ceremony for the city that the Centre would support the construction of Amaravati.
Mr Naidu said that it was necessary to support or align with either the BJP or the Congress at the Centre for the benefit of Andhra Pradesh. Since the state already had the experience of working with the BJP which had betrayed the state, he had decided to support the Congress which had assured the Special Category Status and the implementation of all bifurcation promises, he added.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) United Nations, United States: The United States on Tuesday accused Iran of supplying a missile to Yemeni rebels that was fired into Saudi Arabia in July 2017 and called for an international response.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley said Riyadh had released information showing that the missile was an Iranian Qiam and that this weapon was not present in Yemen before the conflict.
"By providing these types of weapons to the Huthi militias in Yemen, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is violating two UN resolutions simultaneously," Haley said in a statement.
"We encourage the United Nations and international partners to take necessary action to hold the Iranian regime accountable for these violation."
The accusations came amid heightened tensions after the Huthis fired a missile that was intercepted near Riyadh.
Haley said that missile may also be of Iranian origin.
The United States "will not turn a blind eye to these serious violations of international law by the Iranian regime," she said.
Haley, a strong voice on foreign policy in the US administration, has repeatedly called on the UN Security Council to take a tougher stance toward Iran.
She has accused Iran of illegal arms deals and military support in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.
The Saudi-led Arab military coalition intervened in Yemen in 2015 to support President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi after the Huthis forced him into exile.

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Investigations unraveled the cell planners forged an integrated scheme to carry out its atrocity, and conducted surveillance and inspection efforts on the targeted sites, and came up with a mechanism to carry out its belligerence on its select targets, which were mainly military and security posts, trade stores, media outlets, and moderate religious leaders.
The cell accomplices sought to guarantee financial backing to procure rifles, a bid achieved by looting a number of banks in the cities Rusaifa and Zarqa and burgling vehicles to be sold out later to ensure necessary funding to perform the terrorist scheme.
The cell colluders also planned to manufacture detonatives using row materials available in the market.
The entire cell colluders were referred to the prosecutor general of the State Security Court, who kicked off interrogation with those apprehended, and were charged of plotting to carry out terrorist acts, promoting ideas of a terrorist group, interfering to execute terrorist acts, and selling ammunitions and weapons set to used in terrorist atrocities.
The arrested will be referred to State Security Court once the prosecutor general caps interrogation measures.

London: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that the deadly Ebola virus is still "running ahead" of the global health watchdog's efforts to contain it.
According to the BBC, Director general Margaret Chan said the situation had improved in some parts of the worst-affected countries, but she warned against complacency.
She said that with the continuing outbreak of the killer virus, the risk to the world "is always there".
Chan said that Liberia was seeing some good progress, especially in Lofa county and the capital.
However, she added that while cases in Guinea and Sierra Leone were "less severe" than a couple of months ago, a large number of Ebola cases were still being reported.
The total number of deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone from Ebola is estimated to be around 6,331.
WHO says that more than 17,800 people have been infected with the virus.


Novel coronavirus cases in India rose to 283 on Saturday after 60 fresh cases were reported in various parts of the country, the Union Health Ministry said.
The total includes 39 foreign nationals, including 17 from Italy, three from the Philippines, two from the UK, one each from Canada, Indonesia and Singapore.
It also includes four deaths reported from Delhi, Karnataka, Punjab and Maharashtra.
“The total number of active COVID-19 cases across India stands at 256 so far,” the ministry said, adding that 23 others have been cured/discharged/migrated while four have died.
Maharashtra has reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases at 63, including three foreigners, followed by Kerala at 40, including seven foreign nationals.
Delhi has reported 26 positive cases, which include one foreigner, while Uttar Pradesh has recorded 24 cases, including one foreigner.

Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal have reported three cases each. Odisha has two cases.

European Commissioner for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Dimitris Avramopoulos said that migration has turned from a European issue into a global issue.
Avramopoulos spoke exclusively to Greek Reporter at the opening of 71st United Nations General Assembly in New York City. He said that this has been the position of the European Union for quite a while and “now the whole world is on board.”
The Commissioner said that the UN assembly discussed the 65 million refugees around the world, not the 1.2 million refugees in Europe, and now is time for the global community to take responsibility. He said that the European Commission has established its policies on the issue and now is the time for third countries to participate, speaking of the priorities to save lives and stop smugglers.
Speaking about Greece, Avramopoulos said that there are about 60,000 migrants and refugees in Greece, stressing that its citizens and authorities have done their best to accommodate these people.


Saudi ArabiaGCC Countries
Saudi: Third Coronavirus Death Reported
Saudi Arabia confirmed one more death from the virus, raising the total number of fatalities to three.
The spokesman said in a press briefing that a total of 33 people have so far recovered from coronavirus in the Kingdom. He said 100 people among the 112 new cases contracted the disease through their direct contact with the infected people and they are now under medical supervision while the remaining 12 cases are related to travel abroad and have since been quarantined.


Since the government has taken strict isolation measures for the people returning from abroad the local government in Multan has taken a swift action complying with the government guidelines. The district administration of Multan has taken 95 people coming from overseas into social isolation in their homes.
According to the district administration, all the people from Iran and the Gulf countries had come to Shuja Abad and had reached their homes without screening at different times during the last 15 days.
The district administration said that with the help of locals, the district administration tracked down all the people who came from overseas after which they have been isolated in their homes.
District health teams are constantly monitoring these individuals, according to the district administration. The initiative from the local government has been lauded because of the fact that the people have been isolated within their own homes which psychologically helps patients for a speedy recovery from the so-called Coronavirus.


He also said that he is not prepared to express regret to the public over the deadly incident and that action has been taken against those responsible.
In an interview with BBC Sinhala, the former President said that if he knew there was a plot to launch attacks on Easter Sunday he would have prevented it.
Asked how it is that he as the then Minister of Defence was not aware of intelligence information of such an attack being planned, Sirisena said that investigations since then have shown who must take responsibility.
He said that legal action has been taken against those responsible and they have also been suspended from service.
Asked again if he will not take responsibility for the incident, Sirisena said the role of a President is not go to arrest drug dealers, rapists or terrorists but to set the policy framework and give direction. (Colombo Gazette)

Notably, the Telangana Assembly elections are scheduled to be held this year.
According to sources, the BJP will cover around 119 assembly constituencies during "Praja Gosa BJP Bharosa" campaign.
"Praja Gosa BJP Bharosa" BJP is going to hold 11000 meetings in Telangana, this will be a historic meeting as the party will be organizing such a programme for the first time in Telangana. This outreach programme will cover 119 assembly constituencies," said sources.
During the "Praja Gosa BJP Bharosa" campaign BJP will talk about the failure of the KCR government and welfare schemes being run by the Narendra Modi-led Central government for the people of Telangana.
"The BJP will talk about the failures of the KCR government i.e. its anti-people policies, corruption, parivarvaad, loot and other issues with the public. The party leaders will also publicise various development schemes undertaken by the Centre across the country and for the people of Telangana like medical, food and housing facilities," said sources.
Apart from this, the BJP will also inform people about the other schemes being run by the Centre and will also inform them how the Modi government is working in the interests of the people of the country and the people of Telangana.
The sources said that in the Modi government, about 80 crore people were given free food and about 80 crore were given medical facilities.
"Narendra Modi's government is working for the public interests while there is rampant corruption under KCR's government," added sources.

Praja Sangram Yatra was conducted in 5 phases, the success rate of which was very high, which was informed by BJP State President Sanjay Bandi in the National Executive Meeting.
This is the reason why Prime Minister Modi has also asked all the states to learn from Bandi Sanjay's struggle and the positive results that have come after that.
Due to the yatra, massive anti-incumbency has been established against the KCR government.
The yatra has strengthened the organization at the grassroots level and people have realized that BJP is an alternative to TRS. The large public gatherings have increased the faith and enthusiasm of the people towards the BJP, especially in the villages. (ANI)

According to the official media, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud launched the SNTV Daljir channel, which “will focus on anti-Khawarij (Al-Shabab) operations”
Days earlier, the government claimed to have deactivated more than 500 accounts on social media that were promoting Al-Shabab ideologies.
Al-Shabab has a sophisticated media infrastructure that consists of dozens of social media accounts, as well as a number of affiliated media outlets.
The government outlawed the dissemination of “extremist ideology messages” that would “endanger national security” in local media on October 8.
The information ministry claimed that President Mohamud’s August declaration of “an all-out war” against Al-Shabab included the crackdown on pro-military media.

The Governor of Tamil Nadu, Banwarilal Purohit, has issued a clarification regarding fake information that has been circulating on social media about the state government’s decision to impose the National Security Act (NSA) on those who violate COVID-19 protocols. The Governor has clarified that no such decision has been taken by the state government and that the information being circulated is false.
The clarification comes in the wake of widespread misinformation on social media platforms, which had claimed that the state government had decided to impose the NSA on those who violated COVID-19 protocols, including not wearing masks in public places. This had led to panic and confusion among the general public, with many fearing harsh penalties for minor infractions.
The Governor’s clarification is likely to bring relief to many who were worried about the purported imposition of the NSA in the state. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information before sharing it on social media, as false information can cause panic and confusion.
The state government has been taking steps to control the spread of COVID-19 in Tamil Nadu, including imposing restrictions on public gatherings and enforcing mask-wearing in public places. However, the government has not resorted to imposing the NSA to enforce these measures.
Overall, the Governor’s clarification on the fake information regarding the imposition of the NSA in Tamil Nadu is a welcome move, as it helps to dispel misinformation and ease the fears of the public.

SMALL-SCALE gold miners in Rufunsa have appealed to the new government to ensure that gold mining benefits the local people Chimwetu Gold Mining Cooperative chairman, Emmanuel Tembo, said yesterday that gold must first benefit the local people who were the custodians of the natural resources.
He appealed to the new government to empower the small-scale miners with requisite equipment for them to compete favourably with big companies that had adequate resources. Mr Tembo observed that empowering the local smallscale miners would help create the much needed jobs in the sector.
He said that the minerals in the rural parts of the country must first benefit the local people and the government must come up with policies that would protect the small-scale local miners. He was happy that the government had bought about 7, 143 grams of gold from small-scale miners in Rufunsa since June last year.
He pointed out that the figure would have been higher if the cooperatives had proper equipment. Mr Tembo said Government should come up with policies that would enhance mining activities for the emerging miners in gold sub-sector. He was however happy GOLD MUST BENEFIT LOCALS, MINERS DEMAND that the government had supported the formalization of gold mining cooperatives in the area. He was also thankful that the government had empowered the small-scale miners with equipment and training.

New Delhi: CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat and BSP supremo Mayawati, two staunch opponents of the Indo-US nuclear deal, met today in an apparent move to take on the Government during the trust vote in Lok Sabha on 22 July.
Karat, who is spearheading the Left opposition on the deal, drove to the UP Chief Minister’s residence here for the meeting.
This is the first meeting between the two leaders after the recent political developments that saw Mayawati withdrawing support to the Government followed by the Left last week.
After the 45-minutes meeting, the Marxist leader hailed Mayawati’s opposition to the nuclear deal and said the two parties would cooperate in the “struggle” against the agreement.
“We wanted the two parties cooperate in the struggle against the Government,” Karat said in apparent reference to the trust vote being sought by the Manmohan Singh ministry.
While the Left has 59 MPs in the Lok Sabha, the BSP has 17.
Karat had on July 11 said he was in touch with “all parties” which can take a stand against the deal, an issue on which the Left parties withdrew support to the Government reducing it to a minority.
Mayawati has so far declined to divulge her strategy on the trust vote but there were reports that she was attempting to woo several SP and Congress MPs in UP into her fold to vote against the Government in the trial of strength in the Lok Sabha.

Landowners who rely heavily on the Kokoda Track as a source of income are angry and saddened over the attack of the tourist couple who were stripped of their belongings and raped, said James Enage, CEO of Kokoda Track.
The emotional Enage said that his people would suffer in the long run as the Kokoda Track was their sole source of income.
Tourism Promotional Authority (TPA) CEO, Peter Vincent, said that the number of tourists coming to walk the Kokoda Track had dropped significantly since 2009.
In 2009, 7,500 people undertook the trek while now annual figures are as low as 3,500.
Minister for Tourism, Justin Tkatchenko, also said that actions like this not only affect a community but a nation as a whole. He said that the figures given by the TPA CEO were alarming and the industry would die thanks to such attacks.
The CEO of Kokoda Track appealed to other tourists who plan on coming to tackle Kokoda not to change their minds. He said the people of Kokoda were peace-loving people and it is the wrong doing of two people who have jeopardised the rest of the Kokoda tribes.

Srinagar, Nov 29: Nearly a century old market—Government central market Kashmir Haat, is losing its sheen with each passing day as the business at the once famed, marketplace has got badly affected with the businessman stating that bringing the bazaar on tourism map would help them to revive their business.
Almost every shopkeeper at the market is claiming that despite the tourism boom in the Valley, the tourists don’t visit them as the market is off-route and has been ignored so far.
Khurshid Ahmad, one of the traders, told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the market was started in 1937 when Maharaja Rulers forced the artisans to come up with the market to promote the local product.
“The tourists, parliamentarians and others would visit the market every day. But now, it’s unfortunate that the tourists hardly visit the market where everything is available including Shawls, dry fruit, paper mache, woodcarving and other local produce,” he said.
Ahmad further said that the tourists, who throng the other places have to move from one place to another to get the local produce, but the market despite having everything has been ignored.
“The tourism department should look into the matter so that the tourists would be able to get knowledgeable where the tourism market is,” he said, adding that ignoring the market has forced many to switch to other jobs.
President of the market, Nisar Ahmad Kitaba told KNO that the market is completely lying defunct at present. “This market is solely dependent on the tourists. There are 127 shops in the market and it is famous among people all across the globe. However, the official apathy has deteriorated the situation of the businessman as well as the market,” he said.
He added that the department concerned is now extending its support as the exhibitions are being organized here. “But, the situation has worsened to a large extent. We have appealed to the government to allow us to make local items available here till the situation improves and the tourists start visiting the place again,” he said.
“Although the tourism is witnessing a boom in Kashmir, the market has become an odd-site for the tourists as mostly they visit Dalgate, Boulevard, Lal Chowk and other areas only. Now, we have appealed the administration to bring the market on tourism map, which would ensure the tourists visit the marketplace so that the business can be revived once again,” he said—(KNO)

AUSTIN, Tex (Reuters) - Hispanic students are now the majority in Texas public schools, according to the state education agency.
"This has definitely been a trend that has been in the making for a number of years," said Debbie Ratcliffe, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. "Hispanics have long been our fastest-growing student group."
Slightly more than 50 percent of Texas' 4.9 million public school students are Hispanic, according to state data from the 2010-2011 school year. Last school year, slightly less than 49 percent of students were Hispanic.
Texas has the country's second-largest public school system behind California, where the education department reported that Hispanic students became the majority during the 2009-2010 school year.

James O’Brien has exposed the ‘almighty lie’ behind trickle-down economics, adding that it’s against Christ’s teachings.
Foreign Officer minister Gillian Keegan has claimed that Liz Truss’ plans for a taxation revolution will help everyone in society, despite claims they will disproportionately benefit the rich.
James O’Brien has said that trickle-down economics “sells a lie that policies designed to rich the richest are somehow actually designed to help the poorest.”
The Prime Minister has confirmed long-known plans that she will reverse the rise in National Insurance contributions and cancel the planned hike in corporation tax.
Ms Truss said: “The number one thing we need to deliver as a government, and in fact as a country, is economic growth.
“Lower taxes lead to economic growth, there is no doubt in my mind about that. Now, there are of course other measures that we have to take to spur economic growth as well.”
James explained the ideology of trickle-down economics as ‘people who have already got the most money have even more money to spend that money will make its way into the pockets of the least money.”
“I think it’s a pretty disgusting ideology.” he said.
His comments come after it’s also been announced that stamp cuts are being issued, which James said “will benefit people who can afford to buy home” and “it will see more movement in the housing market that’s already inflated and therefore will do absolutely nothing to help those wanting to get on the housing ladder”.
