Gujarat: AAP leader arrested for remarks against BJP; bail granted

[ad_1]
Surat: Gujarat Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Italia was on Monday arrested in connection with a case registered in September last year for allegedly using defamatory words against state Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and was granted bail.
The case was lodged in Umra police station in Surat on September 2, 2022, for using allegedly defamatory words against state BJP chief CR Paatil and Gujarat minister Harsh Sanghavi and also calling BJP workers “goons” in a video message uploaded on social media platforms.
Italia uploaded the video messages after an alleged attack on his colleague Manoj Sorathiya in Surat in August 2022.

In the video message, Italia had used some allegedly objectionable words to describe Paatil and Sangahvi and had said the attack on Sorathiya was carried out by BJP goons.
The case was being investigated by Surat Crime Branch, which arrested Italia during the day. After being released on bail, Italia said the police action was aimed at harassing him.
“Such statements are made by all political leaders against one another. How come to an FIR was lodged only against me? They (police and government) are misusing their power,” he said.
The case was registered against Italia under Indian Penal Code sections 500 (defamation), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 505 (1)(b) (offending act inducing person to commit an offence against state or public tranquillity), and 469 (forgery for purpose of harming reputation) of the Indian Penal Code.

AP: GITAM researcher granted Rs 48L for upcycling brackish water

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In view of increasing the sustainability of drinking water, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Government of India sanctioned an amount of Rs 48.61 lakh to a researcher from GITAM (deemed to be a university).
A quarter of the world’s population doesn’t have access to safe drinking water, and nearly half lakh sources for sanitation.
This gap in access to water is further expected to grow by 40 percent in the next seven years, as per a study by Morgan Stanley, bringing a new urgency to address water scarcity.

According to the World Bank estimation, growing water scarcity is not only a humanitarian crisis but also has striking economic implications. By 2050, water scarcity in some regions could impact GDP growth by up to 11.5 percent.
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering at GITAM, Dr Subhash Chandra has been provided with a grant, as part of the Water Technology Initiative plan in March 2023, for his research project on the desalination of brackish water for industrial uses.
In this prevailing grim scenario, brackish water rejuvenation offers much hope.
Brackish water is more saline than freshwater but less saline than seawater, commonly found in coastal areas, estuaries, and aquifers, and its desalination is crucial in addressing the water scarcity in many arid regions.
Over the next several years, it is anticipated that the desalination systems market in India will grow at a rate of more than 3 percent annually.

The project aims to develop sustainable carbon electrodes from biomass waste for use in membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) technology, which has become an up-and-coming water treatment technology for seawater desalination and is a greener alternative with low energy consumption, high efficiency, easy electrode regeneration, and no secondary pollution.
MCDI technology is expected to have high desalination efficiency and salt rejection rates, making it a practical and low-cost technique for brackish water desalination.
As part of the project, Subhash Chandra will work in the field of MCDI, which applies an electrical potential across a pair of porous carbon electrodes separated by a permeable membrane.
When the electrical potential is applied, the salt ions in brackish water are adsorbed onto the electrodes, leaving behind fresh water. The electrodes are then discharged, releasing the salt ions, which are flushed away.
The project will culminate in a pilot-scale desalination plant, which will be tested for desalination in collaboration with Zelence Industries Private Limited.
Industries with high water consumption, such as textile, pulp, paper and thermal power plants, stand to benefit from this project. The expected launch of the desalination unit is planned for late 2025 to early 2026.
Speaking about the project and the grant, Dr Subhash said, “This project will help us develop a sustainable and cost-effective solution to the water scarcity problem in India’s arid regions.”
“We will utilize functionalized biochar to grow carbon electrodes and design and develop the MCDI cell for desalination. This project also highlights the importance of sustainable practices and innovation in solving critical issues such as water scarcity and climate change.
“Creating sustainable carbon electrodes from biomass waste for brackish water desalination is a significant step towards achieving a sustainable carbon-neutral future,” added the professor.

Muslim man’s murder: 8 granted bail, 1 rejected in 2020 Delhi riots case

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A court here has rejected the bail plea of an accused from whom the mobile phone of a man allegedly killed during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots was recovered, saying the finding was “circumstantial evidence” for the murder charge and “concrete evidence” for the offence of dishonestly receiving property stolen during dacoity.
The court, meanwhile, allowed the bail plea of eight others in the case, saying “concrete and sound evidence” was not found against them.
Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing the bail pleas of Himanshu Thakur, Sahil Babu, Tinku, Sandeep, Vivek Panchal, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Prince and Ankit Chaudhary.

According to the prosecution, the accused were part of an unlawful assembly formed on February 25 and 26, 2020 that bludgeoned to death a man named Mursaleen whose body was found floating in a drain near Johripur Tiraha.
“The recovery of the mobile phone of the deceased from Himanshu Thakur and the evidence in the form of call detail record (CDR) to show its use by his family members subsequent to the killing of Mursaleen is a kind of circumstantial evidence in respect of the charge under section 302 (murder) read with section 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal code,” the judge said in an order passed on Monday.
ASJ Pramachala said the recovery was also “concrete evidence” for the charge under section 412 ( dishonestly receiving property stolen in the commission of a dacoity) of the IPC.
“Even section 412 is punishable up to life and hence, that charge cannot be treated as a lighter charge In these circumstances, keeping in view the severity of the charges and severity of the punishment provided for the same as well as the additional evidence his bail application is rejected,” the judge said.
The judge said the evidence against Thakur was not the same as the co-applicants for bail and other accused who were granted bail earlier.

Regarding the bail pleas of eight others, the judge said, “I do not find very concrete and sound evidence against the applicants in respect of alleged charges till this stage, and since all the material witnesses have already been examined, on the grounds of parity as well, it will not be appropriate to keep the applicants behind bars till the conclusion of the trial.”
The judge then granted bail to Sahil Babu, Tinku, Sandeep, Vivek Panchal, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Prince and Ankit Chaudhary on furnishing a personal bond and surety bond of Rs 30,000 each along with one surety in the like amount.
There are 12 accused in the case of whom co-accused Rishabh Chaudhary and Jatin Sharma were granted bail on March 7.
The prime accused in the case, Lokesh Solanki, was allegedly a member of the Kattar Hindu Ekta’ WhatsApp group.
The name of the WhatsApp group had surfaced in a supplementary charge sheet filed by Delhi Police on September 26, 2020 against nine people for the alleged murder of a man named Hashim Ali during the riots.
According to the charge sheet, ‘Kattar Hindu Ekta’ group was created on February 25 and its alleged aim was to exact revenge for the troubles faced by Hindus and promote enmity between different groups on the ground of religion.
Predecessor ASJ Virender Bhat had discharged the accused in the present case from the charge of criminal conspiracy for allegedly being a member of the group in March last year.
The Gokalpuri police station had filed a charge sheet against the accused persons under various sections of the IPC, including rioting, murder and dacoity.

China granted visas to over 18,000 Indians since January: Diplomat

[ad_1]
Kolkata: China has issued visas to over 18,000 Indians in the last three months, a Chinese diplomat said.
Interacting with a group of journalists in Kolkata, Minister Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in India, Chen Jianjun, said he was looking forward to more Chinese being given visas by India.
“The number of visa applications for China has been on the rise. Since January, we have given visas to 18,560 Indians,” he said.

“Since August, 9,409 student visas have been issued to Indian students,” he said.
However, Jianjun said, the number of visa applications is yet to reach the pre-pandemic levels.
In June last year, China announced plans to provide visas to Indian professionals and their families stranded in India following the strict restrictions imposed by Beijing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Separately, it also started processing visa applications of thousands of Indian students studying in Chinese universities who conveyed their interest to rejoin their colleges and universities. About 23,000 Indian students, mostly studying medicine were stranded back home due to the restrictions.
Jianjun said China was working with India for an early resumption of direct flights between the two countries.

Flight services between the two countries have been disrupted ever since coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan in late 2019 and spread across the world.
The flight disruption turned out to be a major problem for hundreds of Indian students as well as families of Indians working in China and businessmen to travel back and forth.
Indians are currently travelling to China through Sri Lanka, Nepal and Myanmar, and some other countries, shelling out an exorbitant amount of money on steep airfares.
Jianjun also said that his country was looking forward to a more fair and friendly business environment in India.

Muslim players in English Premier League granted break for fasting during Ramzan

[ad_1]
The referees in the Premier League and English Football Association (EFL) have reportedly been asked to pause evening matches in the United Kingdom during the holy month of Ramzan to allow Muslim players to break their fast.
According to the British “Sky Sports” network, the Referees Committee of the English Football Association (EFL) instructed the referees to allow the players to break their fast during the matches that will be held in the evening in Ramzan.
It is worth noting that some of the most known footballers in the country, including Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez, and Chelsea’s N’golo Kante, are expected to take part in the dawn-to-dusk fast that this month begins, in compliance with their faith.
As per media reports, the referees will give the players the opportunity to drink water or soft drinks when it is time to break the fast.
Before kick-off, officials will be encouraged to identify any players who may need to break their fast during the match.
It is noteworthy that the English Premier League competitions will witness three full rounds, in addition to six postponed matches throughout the month of Ramzan, with a total of 36 matches within three weeks.
The English Premier League previously witnessed a similar situation on April 26, 2021, when referee Graham Scott stopped the match between Leicester City and Crystal Palace in order to allow space for the players— Wesley Fofana and Cheikhou Kouyate o break the fast, but this was not on official instructions.
It was believed to be the first time that an English top-level fixture had been paused to allow Muslim players to eat and drink mid-game, with Fofana tweeting his thanks afterwards.
