  • Kerala’s lottery man makes luck of the draw his life story, the state is all smiles

    Kerala’s lottery man makes luck of the draw his life story, the state is all smiles

    [ad_1]

    Thiruvananthapuram: Last September, 31-year-old Anoop M who won Rs 25 crore in a lottery, was famously heard saying “I wish I had not won.” He said he was hassled by people known and unknown to him asking for financial help. Today, Anoop is a part of the state government’s lottery business and is arguably Kerala’s only crorepati lottery agent.

    Anoop, a former auto driver is now busy listing out the serial numbers of the Kerala State Lotteries and contacting prospective clients to sell his tickets.

    His sleek iPhone seems stuck to his ear as he is heard interacting with customers in his newly opened lottery retail store ‘M A Lucky Centre’.

    Until a few weeks ago, Anoop, winner of the biggest draw in Kerala Lottery history – the Thiruvonam Bumper, was on the run. He was mastering the art of giving the slip to people who sought financial help from him.

    He had to constantly shift his place of residence so that needy people would stop crowding his house. As things have calmed down now, his newly won luxurious lifestyle is slowly falling in place.

    “Nothing much has changed,” Anoop said while pulling out a bundle of letters and postcards from the cupboard. “I still get countless letters, all asking for financial aid and many still visit my shop asking for help. I am tired,” Anoop, sporting a thick gold bracelet and a thicker gold chain around his neck, told PTI.

    Anoop is a glittering microcosm of a Kerala government-owned lottery business which is now creating a millionaire everyday.

    The Kerala Lottery department has more than 1 lakh registered agents. Under them there are several unregistered sub-agents and hawkers, effectively making it the livelihood for several lakhs of people in the state.

    The total turnover in FY-21 was Rs 7,145.22 crore. Out of that Rs 4,079.28 crore was spent towards prizes, Rs. 1,798.32 crore towards discounts to the agents, and Rs.524.3 crore towards agents’ prizes.

    “It is the government’s policy to seek public participation in the government’s social welfare schemes. All the money collected through lottery sales are used for implementing various social welfare schemes of the government,” B T Anil Kumar, publicity officer of the Directorate of State Lotteries, told PTI.

    It is not just the Keralites who are keenly purchasing these tickets. The residents of neighboring states and also the sizable migrant labor population in Kerala are regular buyers and many are winners as well.

    The ups and downs faced by the state’s lottery winners have even led the lottery directorate to start a training program in financial management for prize winners with the help of the Gulati Institute of Taxation.

    “It is the policy of the government to encourage all citizens of this country to be part of the Kerala Lottery. As per the Lottery Act, the tickets can be sold only within the geographical boundaries of Kerala. But anyone who visits the state can purchase a ticket and claim the prize amount by producing the necessary documents and the original of the ticket,” Kumar said.

    With a growing customer base, many are now looking to sell lottery tickets as their main occupation.

    “I need to pay my house rent with this, fund the education of my children, take care of my husband who is unwell and also take care of myself. I have been selling lotteries for the last 11 years,” Sathi Kumari, who is a lottery hawker near the Padmanabha Swamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram said.
    There are several thousand like Kumari who depend on the money they get from the lottery sales to eke out a living.

    According to government statistics, the revenue of a lottery worker has gone up from 8.4 percent of ticket sales and commission from prize money per draw in 2019 to 10.69 percent in 2022. “We now have a lottery for all the days of the week, so the revenue of the lottery workers has also gone up. We have also increased the number of tickets available for sale,” Anil Kumar said.

    The government also runs a welfare fund for lottery agents and sellers. One percent of the total revenue turnover is earmarked for this fund, which is being used for providing financial assistance for the treatment of the members, providing tri-scooter or beach umbrellas for physically challenged members, and also providing an Onam allowance to all the members. In the last six years, more than Rs 200 crore has been disbursed to the members through this welfare scheme.

    Kerala’s state-owned lottery system was launched during the second term of the EMS Namboodiripad government in 1967, with an aim to boost state revenue and also to provide a stable income model for the unemployed and differently-abled persons. It now has prize money from Rs 100 to Rs 25 crore through its daily and six bumper lotteries.

    A comprehensive security system with watermarks, security codes and safety numbers on tickets, ensure safety and prevent counterfeiting, rigging or other malpractices, officials said, adding that the prize money is distributed only after the security wing of the lottery directorate examines the physical ticket for any irregularity.

    Lottery is legal in over a dozen states in India and the remaining states have banned sale of lottery tickets. Despite criticism from some quarters including from Governor Arif Mohammed Khan who had said Kerala was making its poor people spend their earnings on lottery tickets and getting them addicted to alcohol, the state government promoted its lottery business briskly and earned revenues of over Rs 7,000 crore last year.

    Gleaming with delight over people like Anoop joining the lottery business, Anil Kumar said “It’s truly inspirational that Anoop thought of becoming a lottery agent. It will inspire other youngsters also to take up lottery selling as a viable livelihood option, despite their financial status.” PTI KPK VPS SA

  • SC to consider whether state HRC can examine criminal medical negligence

    SC to consider whether state HRC can examine criminal medical negligence

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a State Human Rights Commission has the power to examine a case of criminal medical negligence when a contrary view has been taken by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC).

    A bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and Sanjay Karol was hearing a matter filed by IVF doctor Roya Rozati from Telangana.

    The bench noted that the petitioner is charged with medical negligence and her contention is whether the State Human Rights Commission has the power to examine a case of criminal medical negligence when a contrary view in favour of the petitioner was taken by the NHRC.

    The top court noted the view taken by NHRC by an order passed on March 29, 2016.

    The NHRC had said: “Direction issued by the Commission: This case pertains to allegations of medical negligence by a private nursing home. Since to public servant is involved in this case the matter is dismissed in limine. The file be sent to SB-II after issuing the letter. Action taken: Dismissed in limine (dated 3/29/2016). Status on 5.17.2016: Dismissed.”

    The top courtA posted the matter for further hearing after four weeks, and directed pleadings to be completed in the meanwhile.

    The medical practitioner has been charged with criminal medical negligence for administering fertility related drugs to a patient who was suffering from tuberculosis and ultimately, these proved to be fatal to her. The matter was referred to the NHRC which refused to interfere stating that no public servant is involved. However, the State Human Rights Commission issued notice to Rozati and sought documents from her.

    Advocate Namit Saxena, appearing for Rozati, argued that there is a statutory bar under section 21 of the Protection of Human Rights Act that once the NHRC or any other state human rights commission adjudicates upon a complaint, no other state human rights commission can examine the same.

  • Belarusian leader, a key Putin ally, to pay state visit to China next week

    Belarusian leader, a key Putin ally, to pay state visit to China next week

    [ad_1]

    belarus russia 88735

    Beijing announced on Saturday that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, will travel to China on a state visit from February 28 to March 2.

    The announcement of the trip comes a day after Beijing, looking to play a role in mediating a resolution to the Russian war on Ukraine, published a 12-point “position paper” aimed at ending the conflict.

    “At the invitation of President Xi Jinping, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko will pay a state visit to China from February 28 to March 2,” the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

    The Belarusian foreign ministry confirmed the planned visit, saying the Chinese and Belarusian foreign ministers discussed it in a telephone call on Friday.

    Lukashenko has backed Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and allowed its territory to be used in the Russian assault. Lukashenko said last week that his country was prepared to join Russia’s war against Ukraine, if attacked. That prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to warn the Belarusian leader not to get directly involved in the war.

    Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said he will visit China in early April and seek Beijing’s help in ending the war in Ukraine. “The fact that China is engaging in peace efforts is a good thing,” Macron said, according to French media reports.

    Ukraine’s Zelenskyy also said he would like to engage with Beijing following the proposals unveiled on Friday toward resolving the conflict. Zelenskyy said he was open to considering some aspects of the Chinese “position paper” and would welcome the chance to discuss the proposals with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    A meeting with Xi could be “useful” to both countries and for global security, Zelenskyy said.

  • Tamil Nadu govt moves SC against RSS route march in state

    Tamil Nadu govt moves SC against RSS route march in state

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Tamil Nadu government has moved the Supreme Court against the Madras High Court order permitting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to take out its route march in the state on rescheduled dates.

    The state government, in its plea before the top court, said the route march would pose a law and order problem and sought a stay on the high court order.

    The Madras High Court on February 10 had permitted the RSS to take out its route march in Tamil Nadu on rescheduled dates, and observed that protests are essential for healthy democracy.

    Setting aside the order passed on November 4, 2022 by a single judge that had imposed conditions on the proposed statewide route march asking the RSS to hold the march indoors or in enclosed space, the court restored the order dated September 22, 2022, which directed the Tamil Nadu police to consider the RSS’ representation seeking permission to conduct the march and a public meeting, as well, and to grant permission for the same.

    Accordingly, it directed the appellants to approach the state authorities with three different dates of their choice for the purpose of holding the route march/peaceful procession and the state authorities were directed to grant permission to them on one of the chosen dates out of the three.

    Also, the RSS was asked to ensure strict discipline and make sure there is no provocation or incitement on their part during the march. The state, on its part, should take adequate safety measures and make traffic arrangements to ensure the procession and the meeting are held peacefully, the bench said.

    Challenging the single judge order, the RSS sought a direction to the authorities to permit their members to conduct the procession wearing their uniform (dark olive green trousers, white shirt, cap, belt, black shoes) through various routes throughout the state.

    The organisation had earlier sought permission for the route march to commemorate the 75th year of Independence, the birth centenary of Bharat Ratna B R Ambedkar and Vijayadasami festival, on October 2, 2022, at various places and to also to conduct a public meeting on the same day.

  • Bhiwani Killings: Congress Haryana MLA blames state govt, police

    Bhiwani Killings: Congress Haryana MLA blames state govt, police

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Congress MLA Aftab Ahmed on Sunday blamed the Haryana government and the state’s police for the alleged abduction and murder of two men whose charred bodies were found in the state’s Loharu area.

    Ahmed visited Ghatmeeka village in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district to meet the family members of Nasir and Junaid alias Juna, who were allegedly abducted by cow vigilantes on Wednesday. Their bodies were found inside a burnt car in Loharu in Haryana’s Bhiwani on Thursday morning.

    Blaming the Haryana government, Ahmed said it should have taken action when the incident came to light.

    Lives could have been saved if action was taken, he said.

    “The Haryana government and the police are completely responsible for the incident. We will raise the issue in the Assembly.

    “I appeal to the (Ashok) Gehlot government (in Rajasthan) to give strict punishment to those who let down humanity and hang them to give justice to the victims’ families,” Ahmed told reporters in Bharatpur.

    Rinku Saini, who has been arrested by Rajasthan Police in connection with the alleged abduction and murder, has told investigators that the duo was taken to Haryana Police by cow vigilantes, an officer said on Saturday.

    The police will verify the claim, the officer added.

    The claim corroborates the statement of Mohammad Jabir, a relative of the victim, that the two were first taken to the Firozpur Jhirka police station in Haryana but police refused take their custody as their condition was serious.

    Junaid had a criminal record of cattle smuggling and five cases were registered against him at different police stations, a Rajasthan Police officer said.

    The last rites of the victims were conducted on Friday after authorities announced a financial aid of Rs 20.50 lakh to each of their families.

    A Rajasthan court on Saturday sent Saini to police remand for five days in connection with the case while Haryana authorities moved to cancel the arms licence of Bajrang Dal member Monu Manesar, who is among the four evading arrest.

  • Michigan State struggles with uncertain return to classes

    Michigan State struggles with uncertain return to classes

    [ad_1]

    ap23050011438325

    On Monday, Díaz-Muñoz and others are set to return to class. The university confirmed Friday in an email to students and staff that campus operations would resume, even as officials have faced pressure to delay the return. There will be no classes for the rest of the semester in Berkey Hall, where two students died, for the rest of the semester.

    Díaz-Muñoz said the university offered to have another professor to teach through the end of the semester. While he has yet to make a final decision, his plan is to go back next week and teach.

    “On one hand, I want to forget it all. But then on the other hand, I think I need to help my students pick up the pieces,” Díaz-Muñoz said. “I think I need to help my students build a sense of meaning.”

    Some in the community, however, aren’t ready for the rapid return. The editorial board of The State News, the student newspaper, wrote Thursday that they wouldn’t attend class next week, either in person or online. More time was needed to heal, the students wrote.

    In the days following the shooting, students across campus were seen packing their belongings to leave East Lansing with all activities shut down for 48 hours and no classes until at least Monday. A petition demanding hybrid or online options for students received over 20,000 signatures as of Saturday. Michigan State has about 50,000 students, including 19,000 who live on campus.

    Díaz-Muñoz understands that some students won’t be ready to return, saying that some will still have “the fear of looking over their shoulder and looking out the window, at the doors.”

    “There are some kids in my class that are graduating this semester. And they need this horrific nightmare to have a better ending than the way it ended on Monday,” Díaz-Muñoz said.

    In an email sent out to faculty Friday, the university said that all students will be given a credit/no credit option this semester, which allows students to receive credit for all classes without it impacting their overall grade point average. The email, written by interim Provost Thomas Jeitschko, asked all teachers to “extend as much grace and flexibility as you are able with individual students, now and in the coming weeks.”

    “We are encouraging empathy and patience and an atmosphere for all to recover at their own pace,” Interim President Teresa Woodruff said Thursday.

    Four wounded students remain in critical condition at Sparrow Hospital, a hospital spokesman confirmed Saturday. One had been upgraded to stable condition on Thursday.

    Dozens of people have died in mass shootings so far in 2023. In 2022, there were more than 600 mass shootings in the U.S. in which at least four people were killed or injured, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

    The shootings at Michigan State happened Monday during evening classes at Berkey Hall and nearby at the MSU Union, a social hub where students can study, eat and relax. Students across the vast campus were ordered to shelter in place for four hours — “run, hide, fight” if necessary — while police hunted for Anthony McRae, 43, who eventually killed himself when confronted by police not far from his home in Lansing.

    Police said he left a note with a possible motive but have not said what it was. He was the lone shooter and had no connection to the victims or to Michigan State as a student or employee, they said.

    Díaz-Muñoz describes hearing “explosions” outside his class before a masked man appeared in the doorway of Room 114 and began open firing. Students hid behind desks and chairs before breaking windows to escape.

    After “one to two minutes” of shooting, the gunman turned around and left, leaving behind “destruction and death in my classroom,” said Díaz-Muñoz.

    For Díaz-Muñoz, the terror didn’t end as abruptly. The carnage that occurred in his classroom was “something you saw in a movie,” he said.

    Díaz-Muñoz says he has taken prescription medication as a way to force himself to sleep, only emerging from his room “for a bowl of soup.”

    The assistant professor said that he is sharing his story in hopes of bringing about gun reform.

    “If the lawmakers and the senators saw what I saw, instead of hearing in the news one more statistic. If they had seen those girls and the pools of blood that I saw, the horror we lived, they would be shamed into action,” Díaz-Muñoz said.

  • Hanover State Opera ends contract with ballet director over dog faeces incident

    Hanover State Opera ends contract with ballet director over dog faeces incident

    [ad_1]

    A leading German ballet choreographer who smeared dog faeces into the face of a dance critic in revenge for her negative reviews of his work has been sacked from his post, the Hanover State Opera said on Thursday.

    It said Marco Goecke’s actions last weekend in confronting Wiebke Hüster, a journalist with the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper, had been hugely damaging to its reputation.

    It had suspended Goecke, 50, on Monday, and police are investigating after Hüster reported the incident to them.

    “Marco Goecke’s irresponsible actions have deeply unsettled the audience, irritated the public, violated all the principles of the house and massively damaged the reputation of the Hanover state opera,” the theatre’s statement read.

    Hüster has said she cried out and burst into tears upon realising what Goecke had done, and she believes it was a meditated attack. She said she was shocked a second time when Goecke initially refused to apologise.

    Instead, in a television interview, he expressed his regret for the attack, describing “the manner of it” as “certainly not super” and admitting it would not be viewed as socially acceptable. But he called it a “heat of the moment” response on seeing Hüster, whom he accused of having “throwing mud” at him over more than 20 years of negative reviews of his work.

    Under pressure, he later issued what was widely interpreted as a half-hearted written apology. He wrote: “I want to sincerely apologise to all involved, first and foremost Frau Hüster, for my absolutely not to be applauded action.” He said the attack had been the result of “nervous overload due to two premieres that followed each other closely”.

    But in the same statement he made further accusations towards the journalist and spoke of the “often hateful critiques” he was subjected to.

    Hüster has denied his accusation that she had been set on rubbishing all his performances, saying she had “cherished” a lot of his work. But she vowed to never attend another Goecke production.

    The Hanover opera’s head, Laura Berman, said its contract with Goecke, a celebrated, prize-winning choreographer, would be dissolved with immediate effect by mutual agreement, but he would be permitted access to the premises for the time being and his productions would continue to be staged by the theatre.

    Goecke, in his explanation, poured scorn on the critics of German newspapers, in particular of the feuilleton or feature sections of the highbrow broadsheets, urging them to refrain from negative publicity of the cultural world, which he said was not helpful to theatres struggling to get back on their feet after the pandemic.

    In the most recent criticism of his work to which Goecke had taken exception, on a collaboration with the the Netherlands Dance Theatre in The Hague, Hüster had said it was like a badly tuned radio. She wrote: “One alternates between a state of feeling insane and being killed by boredom,” and she compared the experience of watching the performance to viewing a warm winter beach from a glass window, “as if in a permanent state of retirement”.

    She said his apology had been anything but. “He immediately switched into strengthening the accusations that he had previously held against me. What sort of an apology is that? That is a justification. In addition: we’re talking here about a criminal act. Of insult and bodily harm.”

    “BJP Wants To Convert J&K Into Hindu-Majority State”: Dr Farooq Abdullah

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: Reacting to Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on the restoration of statehood in Jammu and Kashmir, JKNC MP Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that they (the government) will give a truncated statehood after elections.

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir will come up after assembly polls and that a call on the timing of elections will be taken by the Election Commission.

    “I had clearly stated that statehood will be restored in Jammu and Kashmir after elections. Process of preparation of voters’ list is nearing completion in the UT. Now, the Election Commission has to take a call on elections,” Shah, in an exclusive interview with ANI, released on Tuesday, said.

    To which Jammu and Kashmir’s former CM said that he thinks they (the government) don’t want to give statehood. “They will give truncated statehood after elections,” he added.

    Abdullah also alleged that the motive behind the delimitation exercise, completed in UT, is to turn J-K into a Hindu majority state.

    “They think that we are fools, but we are not. We know what their intention is, if this was not their intention, they would not have done delimitation as well, as the way they did. They want that it should be converted into a Hindu-majority state,” he added.

    Srinagar: Reacting to Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on the restoration of statehood in Jammu and Kashmir, JKNC MP Farooq Abdullah on Monday said that they (the government) will give a truncated statehood after elections.

    Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir will come up after assembly polls and that a call on the timing of elections will be taken by the Election Commission.

    “I had clearly stated that statehood will be restored in Jammu and Kashmir after elections. Process of preparation of voters’ list is nearing completion in the UT.

    Earlier, in an interview with ANI, Shah also said that Article 370 pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir, which was abrogated by the BJP-led government in 2019, had harmed the country.

    He said the way development is taking place in Jammu and Kashmir, terrorism is gradually ending.

    “See all the figures, there is a lot of change in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

    He went on to add that removing Article 370 has been on the agenda of BJP and Jan Sangh. He also referred to India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the context of Article 370.

    “Since 1950, it was on our agenda to remove Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir. Today, the way Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing development and decrease in terrorism shows that changes that are coming,” he said.

    Shah said those slamming the BJP should answer in whose tenure terrorism grew in Jammu and Kashmir.

    “As far as elections are concerned, do they not remember the local body polls, these were held under our rule, these did not take place for 70 years. Three families were holding sway in Jammu and Kashmir and they are making noise…Farooq Abdullah had gone to England. In whose tenure, terrorism grew, who allowed it to grow, there should be an answer,” he said.

  • AP: YSRCP govt denounces opposition claim of poor state financials

    AP: YSRCP govt denounces opposition claim of poor state financials

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government on Tuesday took strong exception to the alleged misinformation campaign undertaken by the opposition and its associated media regarding the financial health of the state.

    Duvvuri Krishna, Special Secretary to CM (Finance and Economic Affairs), shared details of the recent Reserve Bank of India (RBI) report containing details of outstanding liabilities of the state over the last four-year period.

    Highlighting how the state exchequer was burdened in 2019, Duvvuri Krishna stated, “Just days before the 2019 general election to the Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government hurriedly disbursed scheme related amounts to lure voters. In this regard, the TDP government raised a whopping ₹5,000 crores through SDL auction on a single day on 9th April, 2019, just two days before election. This would possibly be the highest amount of debt any state government would have raised on a single day.”

    Sharing bits from the RBI report, Krishna shared that it was a herculean task for the YSRCP government to improve the health of the state’s finances.

    “The outstanding liabilities had increased by 138.84% during the 5-year TDP rule. This translates to a compounded annual growth rate of the liabilities of 19.02% during 2014-19. As against that, the increase in liabilities during the period of the YSRCP Government increased by only 62.78% during the 4-year period of YSRCP government. This translates to a compounded annual growth rate of the liabilities of 13.55% during 2014-19,” Krishna said.

    Referring to the RBI report, Krishna said, “In 2014, liabilities of the TDP Government was ₹1,13,797 crores as per the RBI report which increased ₹2,71,797.56 crores in 2019. This is an increase of 238%. Compared to this, the debt of the YSRCP government has not doubled during the first 4 years of the present government, as alleged. It has only increased by 62.78%.”
