Manipur relaxes curfew in Churachandpur for few hours to allow people buy essentials

[ad_1]
Imphal: The total curfew that prohibited the movement of any person outside their homes will be relaxed for three hours in violence-hit Manipur’s Churachandpur district on Sunday morning to allow the people to buy essential items such as medicines and food, according to a notification.
The curfew imposed under section 144 of the CrPC will be relaxed from 7 am to 10 am, it said.
It was also relaxed on Saturday for two hours from 3 pm to 5 pm.

“With the law and order situation improving in Churachandpur district and after talks were held between the state government and various stakeholders, I’m pleased to share that the curfew will be partially relaxed as per the details shared below (sic),” Chief Minister N Biren Singh tweeted on Saturday night, sharing a copy of the notification.
The curfew was imposed on May 3 after violent clashes broke out between tribals and members of the majority Meitei community, which has so far displaced thousands of people and killed at least 54.
The notification issued by Churachandpur district magistrate Sharath Chandra Arroju said, “Subsequent relaxations shall be reviewed and notified based on assessment of the prevailing law and order situation.”
The clashes broke out after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the ten hill districts of the state to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur’s population and live mostly in the Imphal valley. Tribals — Nagas and Kukis — constitute another 40 percent of the population and live mostly in the hill districts.

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: In response to an inquiry on the expiration of Umrah visas after the Haj season, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah clarified that the 90-day visa period starts from the pilgrim’s entry into Saudi Arabia and must be adhered to.
The Ministry also stated that the length of stay for those with Umrah visas is 90 days.
Reservations for performing Umrah at the Grand Mosque in Makkah during the current Islamic month of Shawwal can be made through the Nusuk application, which also provides visas, permits, and packages for visiting holy places in Saudi Arabia.
Electronic permits for Umrah remain mandatory, and the Kingdom has recently unveiled several facilities for Muslims to perform Umrah.

2008 Bengaluru bomb blast prime accused gets breather as SC relaxes bail condition

[ad_1]
Prime accused in the 2008 serial bomb blasts case Abdul Nazir Maudany received a breather from the Supreme Court of India after it relaxed the former’s bail conditions.
Maudany, chairman of the Kerala People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has been allowed to stay in Kerala till July 8. His previous bail condition required him to stay in Bengaluru till the case was over.
The court made the decision on the basis of Maudany’s health status and his ailing parents.

“Looking to the applicant’s own medical condition as well as his ailing parents who are residing in the State of Kerala, as an interim measure, consider it appropriate to order that the applicant be allowed to visit the State of Kerala for a period upto 8th July, 2023 to meet his ailing parents accompanied by the Karnataka Police Escort and return in the same manner,” the bench ordered while listing the next hearing on July 10.
However, the Karnataka Government lawyer opposed the Maudany plea seeking relaxation and said that according to the public prosecutor handling the blast case, the proceedings in the matter will take another two months to conclude.
This is the second time Maudany applied for a relaxation of his bail. His first plea was rejected in September 2021.
In 2008, as many as eight serial bomb blasts took place in Bengaluru, killing three people and injuring over 20.
