    Hyderabad: Telangana director general of police (DGP) Anjani Kumar on Tuesday held a video conference for the first time with 736 officers manning the reception desk at police stations in Telangana.

    During the interaction, DGP Anjani Kumar said that all 17 functional verticals should be introduced with the intention of providing uniform police services across the state and providing better policing to the people.

    Among these 17 verticals, the reception officer vertical is the most important the DGP stated. “Gentleness, politeness and affection are the main qualities that a reception officer should have. He advised them to politely greet the petitioners who come to the police stations with various problems and listen to their problems with patience and register a suitable case. All police officers in every police station should be professional in all 17 functional verticals,” Anjani Kumar stated.

    The Telangana DGP, according to a press release from his office, clarified that women petitioners who come to the police stations on various issues especially at night should be treated with extreme caution and appropriately.

    An FIR should be registered after listening to their problems in the presence of a woman police officer, the DGP added. Also he said that through the functional vertical approach, every police officer will be clear about his duties and the results to be achieved and will work skillfully and get the best results.

    Anjani Kumar reminded the officers that after the formation of the state in 2014, no other state in the country received financial resources as much as the Telangana police department. The department has around 21 thousand police vehicles and the management system of these vehicles is not found in any other state in the country.

    Uddhav holds meeting with his camp leaders at Shiv Sena Bhavan in Mumbai

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday held an urgent meeting with his close associates at the Shiv Sena Bhavan in Mumbai to decide their future course of action, specially after losing the ‘Shiv Sena’ name and poll symbol ‘bow and arrow’ to the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

    Leaders close to Thackeray, including Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut, Subhash Desai, Anil Desai and Anil Parab, were present in the meeting held at the Sena Bhavan located in Dadar area.

    Thackeray has also invited several district level leaders of his camp to discuss the future course of action.

    The Election Commission on Friday recognised the Shinde-led faction as the real Shiv Sena and ordered allocation of the ‘bow and arrow’ poll symbol to it, in the process delivering a big blow to Uddhav Thackeray, whose father Bal Thackeray founded the outfit in 1966.

    The EC allowed the Thackeray faction to retain the name Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and the flaming torch’ poll symbol, given to it in an interim order in October last year, till the conclusion of the upcoming Assembly bypolls in the state.

    Former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had on Sunday said all political parties need to open their eyes and remain cautious in the wake of the Election Commission’s decision of recognising the faction led by CM Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena.

  • Punjab Speaker calls meeting on ‘exorbitant rates of medicines’

    Punjab Speaker calls meeting on ‘exorbitant rates of medicines’

    [ad_1]

    Chandigarh: Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhawan on Sunday said a meeting to discuss the public interest issue of selling medicines at “exorbitant rates”, which is leading to “public loot”, will be held on Tuesday.

    It would be attended by Cabinet ministers, MLAs, health experts and representatives of various NGOs.

    As part of the series of discussions pertaining to public issues, the Speaker said the discussion will be held on this burning matter because it is a common belief that due to high prices, people are being robbed and medicines are going beyond the reach of the poor.

    He said the meeting would enable MLAs, who work as a link between the public and the government, to have a meaningful debate in the Assembly on this burning issue of public interest so that suitable steps for its proper solution could be taken.

  • Negotiations ongoing for Blinken meeting with Chinese official in Munich

    Negotiations ongoing for Blinken meeting with Chinese official in Munich

    germany munich security conference 23167

    Another Washington, D.C.-based diplomat with knowledge of the talks said Blinken had requested a meeting but “had no response from China” as he boarded his flight for Munich on Thursday.

    Bloomberg first reported on Monday that Blinken was considering meeting with Wang at the conference, which opened Friday and continues through Sunday.

    But there are signs that Blinken is operating under the assumption that a Munich meeting with Wang Yi is highly likely. “Some of the officials who would need to be there for such a meeting left with Blinken to Munich in anticipation of a potential meeting,” said a third Washington, D.C.-based diplomat familiar with the trip’s participants. All three diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to give public statements about the negotiations.

    Neither the State Department nor the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., responded to a request for comment.

    The meeting would be the first face-to-face attempt by the Biden administration to address the Chinese spy balloon the U.S. shot down off the coast of South Carolina a week ago.

    The potential meeting carries political risk for President Joe Biden, who is trying to balance his administration’s desire to maintain “open lines of communication” with Beijing amid a widening bipartisan uproar about what both a House and a Senate resolution have declared was a “brazen violation” of U.S. sovereignty.

    Already tense relations have only been souring since the Pentagon revealed the balloon’s presence over the northwestern U.S. earlier this month. Blinken postponed his originally planned Feb. 5-6 trip to Beijing in response to the incursion. Biden said on Thursday that he’d make “no apologies” for the balloon’s destruction and that he’d be speaking to Chinese leader Xi Jinping to “get to the bottom” of the incident.

    The Chinese government has insisted the balloon was a civilian airship for meteorological purposes and has criticized its destruction as “a trigger-happy overreaction.” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin signaled a softening in Beijing’s position called on Thursday by calling for bilateral ties to shift to “the track of sound and steady development.”

  • MLA Abbas Ansari’s wife sent to police custody for ‘illegally’ meeting husband in jail

    MLA Abbas Ansari’s wife sent to police custody for ‘illegally’ meeting husband in jail

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: A court here on Thursday remanded Nikhat Bano, the wife of Uttar Pradesh MLA Abbas Ansari, in police custody for three days.

    Nikhat Bano was arrested on February 10 for illegally meeting her jailed husband in the deputy jailer’s room in Chitrakoot district.

    The jail superintendent and seven other staff members were suspended for laxity and departmental action was initiated against them.

    Lokesh Varun, the special judge of the court hearing cases lodged under the Prevention of Corruption Act, sent Nikhat Bano to police custody for three days. Her driver Niyaj Ahmad, another accused in the case, was remanded in police custody for five days.

    Hearing the matter through video-conferencing, the court said the remand period would begin from 10 am on Friday.

    Investigating officer Harsh Pandey had moved an application seeking police remand of both the accused.

    The court was told that the two were arrested from the jail compound in Chitrakoot.

    The court was also told that Nikhat Bano had kept her iPhone locked and it was necessary to unlock it so that relevant information could be collected.

    It was also stated that Ahmad had not handed over his mobile phone to police and it was necessary to trace the phone to ascertain the involvement of others.

    Abbas Ansari, the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) MLA from Mau and son of jailed gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, has been in prison for the last three months in connection with a money-laundering case.

    Apart from her mobile phone, many “objectionable” articles were found from Nikhat Bano’s possession, police had said.

    On the basis of a complaint from Sub-Inspector in-charge of the Ragauli Jail police station Shyamdev Singh, an FIR was lodged against five people — Nikhat Bano, Ahmad, Jail Superintendent Ashok Sagar, the deputy jailor and a constable.

    They were booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 222 (intentional omission to apprehend on the part of public servant bound to apprehend person under sentence or lawfully committed), 186 (voluntarily obstructing a public servant in the discharge of his public functions), 506 (criminal intimidation), 201, which deals with tampering with evidence, and 120B (criminal conspiracy).

    Police had also seized Saudi Arabian currency from Nikhat Bano.

    The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Abbas Ansari (30) in November last year after a long questioning session at the federal agency’s office in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.

  • PM Modi will hold a public meeting in Telangana soon: Bandi Sanjay

    PM Modi will hold a public meeting in Telangana soon: Bandi Sanjay

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Bandi Sanjay said that the party will soon hold a massive public meeting in Telangana, to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders of the party.

    The rally will be the culmination of the ongoing 11,000 street corner meetings of the party functionaries being held across the state.

    Bandi Sanjay Kumar was speaking to reporters at Roopkhanpet village of Parigi assembly constituency in Vikarabad district, where he attended a street-corner meeting.

    Sanjay said there has been huge response to the street corner meetings aimed at exposing the failures of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government.

    “In an unprecedented manner, we have been holding 11,000 street corner meetings. Subsequently, public rallies would be held in every assembly constituency headquarters, followed by similar rallies in the 10 erstwhile district headquarters,” he said.

    As a culmination of all these meetings and rallies, a massive state-level public meeting would be held, venue of which would be decided later. “We are planning to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top BJP leaders for the public meeting,” the BJP president said.

    Sanjay accused the BRS government of throwing to winds all the promises made for Parigi and other surrounding areas, including providing irrigation to one lakh acres of parched lands through Palamur-Rangareddy lift irrigation scheme.

    “Except the funds released by the Narendra Modi government, the gram panchayats have not been getting a single rupee from the state government. The sarpanches are forced to commit suicide for non-clearance of pending bills by the sate government,” he alleged.

    Earlier, addressing the street corner meeting, Sanjay said KCR, who had welcomed his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Singh Mann and taken him around Konda Pochamma Sagar, had forgotten the fact that many of the farmers who had given away their lands for the project were yet to get rehabilitation and resettlement package.

    “The chief minister was not concerned that farmers immolated themselves for not getting compensation for the land,” he said.

    Stating that the Congress had lost its relevance in the state as it had joined hands with the BRS, Sanjay said the BJP is the only party which can shake the ruling BRS. “It was the BJP which had forced KCR, who had been earlier confined to farmhouse, to come to Dharna Chowk and then to villages,” he said.

    Describing all those who were joining the BRS as invalid coins, the BJP president said the people had lost faith in the new avatar of KCR. “They have realised that the BRS is a corrupt, dynastic and dictatorial party and also a party of Razakars. They believe that only the BJP has the capacity to pull the BRS down from power,” he said.
