Drones, Army choppers pressed into service in ethnic violence-hit Manipur

[ad_1]
Imphal: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Army helicopters have been pressed into service for aerial surveillance in ethnic violence-hit Manipur, while the Army, Assam Rifles, and other Central paramilitary forces are on round-the-clock vigil in the trouble-torn districts.
Defence sources said that multiple rounds of aerial surveillance using Cheetah helicopters have already been conducted by the Army since Saturday morning in different parts of Manipur.
“The ongoing crisis in Manipur may create a new security dimension as insurgent groups staying in camps along the India-Myanmar border may prove detrimental to the massive efforts to restore normalcy in the state,” said a source.

The issue is being addressed pro-actively by the security forces who are leaving no stone unturned to thwart the nefarious designs, the source said.
“While Assam Rifles is enhancing its deployment on ground zero with round-the-clock vigil and border surveillance, the Army and other security forces are working in tandem to quell the present unrest in Manipur at the earliest,” the source said.
A defence spokesman said, “The Indian Air Force ferried additional Army and paramilitary troops from two airfields in Assam employing C17 Globemaster and AN 32 aircraft. Evacuation of civilians of all communities from the affected areas is going on.”
According to a top official, at least 20 people have died in Manipur since May 3, while the local media and unconfirmed reports put the toll at 50-55, including women.
Manipur government’s newly-appointed security advisor Kuldiep Singh, a former CRPF chief, said that at least 18 to 20 people were killed in the series of ethnic violence in different districts of Manipur.

However, local media quoting hospital sources said that at least 50 to 55 people, including women, have been killed in the attacks and counter-attacks by the rival ethnic groups in at least six districts since May 3.
“Over 100 people have been injured in these attacks. More than 500 houses, along with a large number of vehicles, shops and other properties were either burnt down or damaged in these attacks since May 3,” Singh told the media in Imphal on Saturday.
He said that 23 police stations in different districts have been identified as most vulnerable and the Army and Central Armed Police Forces were adequately deployed in these areas.
Flag marches by the Army and Assam Rifles are continuing in more than six districts, especially in the most volatile Churachandpur district, Singh said.
In view of the prevailing unrest in Manipur, the Central government has already imposed Article 355 in the state to bring the situation under control.
Article 355 is part of emergency provisions contained in the Constitution that empowers the Centre to take all necessary steps to protect a state against internal disturbances or external aggression.

Lebanon resumes registration service for Syrian refugees willing to return home

[ad_1]
Beirut: Lebanon’s General Security Directorate has resumed its registration service for Syrian refugees willing to return to their homeland.
The directorate resumed the operation of a registration centre in Arsal, a town in northern Bekaa Region, after suspending its operations on October 6 of last year due to logistical reasons, Xinhua news agency reported.
Around 50 Syrian families who wish to return to their villages in Western Qalamoun mountains and Al Qusayr registered their names on Wednesday, it added.

The Directorate said it would continue to provide the service at the centre three days a week.
Lebanese authorities have repeatedly called on the international community to assist the country in returning Syrian refugees to their homeland as it suffers from a dire financial crisis and can no longer host many displaced people on its territories.
According to the UN Refugee Agency, Lebanon is currently facing its worst socioeconomic crisis in decades and hosts the highest number of refugees per capita and per square kilometre worldwide.
The government estimates 1.5 million Syrian refugees and 13,715 refugees of other nationalities.
Ninety per cent of Syrian refugees are living in extreme poverty, with the majority of them settled in the Bekaa region.

While prices are skyrocketing due to a severe economic crisis, almost half of the Lebanese and 2/3 of the 1.5 million Syrian refugees are food insecure.
Some 90 per cent of Syrians, 73 per cent of Palestinian refugees, and over 50 per cent of Lebanese households currently need assistance.
Lebanon has struggled to deal with emergencies like the Beirut port blast, Covid-19, and a cholera outbreak earlier this year.

Khattar announces bus service to Haryana village after elderly woman complains

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s visit on Wednesday to Thana in Kurukshetra has ensured that government buses now won’t skip the stop at the village.
During an interaction with Thana villagers as part of the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme, an elderly woman complained about buses not stopping there and Khattar took action, according to a government statement.
From now, Khattar said, at least eight buses from Pehowa and Kurukshetra depots would stop in the village and for the convenience of the villagers, the timings of the buses will be mentioned at bus stops.

The chief minister directed the Haryana Roadways general manager, Kurukshetra, to prepare a 12-hour route chart for the buses, and instruct the drivers and conductors to stop the buses on the fixed routes of Thana.
During ‘Jan Samvad’, two village residents told the chief minister that they were charged Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000 for treatment at private hospitals despite being covered under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
On this, Khattar ordered the civil surgeon, Kurukshetra to investigate the entire matter and take appropriate action.
Pehowa MLA and Minister of State for Printing and Stationery Sandeep Singh also attended the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme.
Interacting with people in Kurukshetra’s Barna village, Khattar said sarpanches must hold meetings of the Gram Sabha once in three months.

Khattar said the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme is the best medium to take feedback from the public and see if the benefits of government policies and schemes are reaching the people.
He also met members of self-help groups (SHGs) in the village.
There are nearly 30 SHGs in Barna.
In Kurukshetra’s Karah Sahib village, the chief minister said public welfare policies will be framed on the basis of suggestions received through ‘Jan Samvad’.
The new policies will be in accordance with the hopes and aspirations of the people, he said.
Khattar started the ‘Jan Samvad’ programme in Rohtak district last year. Later, the programme was organised in Sirsa, Sonipat, Karnal, Fatehabad, Bhiwani and Palwal districts.
His three-day ‘Jan Samvad’ programme in Kurukshetra district concluded on Wednesday.

Better IRS service is forcing an earlier debt deadline

[ad_1]
That means there is less uncertainty about how much money will come in — there isn’t a huge lump of tax payments still waiting to be tallied, like there was last year, when many didn’t get deposited until May or later. Most of the tax payments Treasury is going to receive have now already been collected, the Congressional Budget Office says.
“As a result, we anticipate that the IRS will process relatively few additional payments in May,” the nonpartisan agency says.
“That, in combination with the less-than-expected receipts through April, means that the Treasury’s extraordinary measures will be exhausted sooner than we previously projected.”
CBO and Treasury said Monday that they expect lawmakers to have to act by early June. In a letter to lawmakers, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the deadline could come as soon as June 1, though she said it’s also possible the deadline will end up being “a number of weeks later than these estimates.”
That has caught lawmakers off guard, with many expecting the deadline to land in late July.
President Joe Biden is slated to meet with congressional leaders next week. House Republicans have passed an increase tied to a host of budget cuts, something that is a nonstarter for Democrats. Lawmakers will likely have to pass a short-term extension to buy themselves more time to negotiate.
The deadline for action turns heavily on tax revenues, which are volatile. And a big reason for the new “X-date” is capital gains receipts, which have plummeted in the wake of last year’s downdraft on Wall Street.
But the timing of how quickly the IRS can turn around people’s returns matters too, and this was the first tax season since Democrats pushed through a one-time cash infusion for the agency that was six times its annual budget. As part of an overhaul of the agency, the administration is emphasizing improved customer service, in part by hiring thousands of new workers.

People who expect to receive tax refunds tend to file early because they want their money. There’s usually a lull in the middle of tax season before a rush at the very end that’s comprised disproportionately of people who owe (some tax veterans refer to the filing season as having “Batman ears”).
It’s not uncommon for wealthy people who owe to not only file very late in the tax season but also do it on paper, rather than electronically, because that takes the IRS longer to process, which means the taxpayers’ money can sit in an account longer collecting interest.
This time last year, when the agency was facing a queue of 5.2 million returns, the tax payments that came with them often wouldn’t get deposited in federal coffers for some time after Tax Day.
This year, through April 21, the IRS says it has processed 98.1 percent of the 134,649,000 returns it has received. That leaves 2.45 million awaiting action.
The total number of returns the IRS has received so far this year is down by 1.3 percent or about 1.8 million filings compared to last year.
That could partly be because the department gave people in California and other states hit by natural disasters until October to file. It’s unknown how many are taking advantage of that extension.
But there are lots of wealthy people in California, in particular, and there is a financial incentive for those who owe to delay paying as long as possible — which could be another reason why the debt deadline is coming faster than lawmakers anticipated.

Razorpay launches payment reconciliation service for buyers, sellers on ONDC

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Full-stack fintech platform Razorpay on Thursday joined the government’s Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) ecosystem by launching a payment reconciliation service for network participants (NPs) like buyers, sellers, and logistic partners.
The move, said the company, will streamline the payment processes on ONDC, providing the users with an integrated single view of all their transactions.
“I believe the possibilities the ONDC network provides are endless and I’m confident the Payment Reconciliation Service will only further strengthen the development of ONDC’s tech infrastructure and help the ecosystem grow seamlessly from a payments and compliance point of view,” said Shashank Kumar, Managing Director and Co-founder, Razorpay.

Through this solution, Razorpay will facilitate ease of transacting on ONDC by timely routing settlement information for a given transaction and assisting Network Participants (NPs) with settling funds.
With an open network approach, where the buyers and sellers do not need to necessarily be on the same platform to be able to do a business transaction, ONDC will enable SMEs to access a larger buyer universe.
“This is a significant step towards our goal of enabling seamless and secure digital commerce for everyone. With this addition, we continue to drive transparency and inclusion in the digital commerce space and we look forward to working with Razorpay towards achieving this vision,” said Thampy Koshy, CEO, ONDC.
Razorpay is building its capabilities toward solving all things payments and business banking for over 10 million businesses, making it the go-to platform that enables exponential growth for Indian businesses of all kinds and sizes.
Established in 2014 by alumni of IIT Roorkee, Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, Razorpay is the second Indian company to be a part of Silicon Valley’s largest tech accelerator, Y Combinator.

Investors such as Lone Pine Capital, Alkeon Capital, TCV, GIC, Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital India, Ribbit Capital, Matrix Partners, Salesforce Ventures, Y Combinator and MasterCard have invested a total of $741.5 million in the company.
