Andhra HC stays show-cause notice issued to employees’ body

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday granted stay on the show-cause notice issued by the state government to leaders of the Government Employees Association (APGEA) for meeting state governor to seek his intervention to ensure payment of salaries and pensions on time.
Hearing a petition filed by APGEA leaders challenging the show-cause notice, Justice Ravinath Tilahari granted a stay and directed the government to file a counter.
A delegation of APGEA leaders led by its president K. R. Suryanarayana had met Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan on January 19 and submitted a memorandum to him on the problems faced by the employees.
The delegation requested the governor to issue necessary advice to the government as he is competent authority as per the Article 309 of the Constitution to intervene in the affairs of the government employees.
After the meeting, APGEA leaders told media persons that they were compelled to meet the governor as all their efforts to resolve the grievances through the state government had failed.
However, taking a serious note of the action of APGEA leaders, the government had issued a show-cause notice on January 23 asking them to explain why their association should not be derecognized.
Suryanarayana had challenged the show-cause notice in the high court. The court on January 31 directed the government not to take action against the APGEA.
During the previous hearing, the judge had posed several questions to the government. He wanted to know if the rights guaranteed by Article 19 of the Constitution are not applicable for APGEA. He asked the government if it mentioned in the show-cause notice what rules the APGEA violated while speaking to the media.

Petitioner’s counsel Ravi Prasad told the court that according to the 1990 Financial Code, salaries to government employees should be paid on the last working day of every month but employees are not getting current month salaries till 15th of next month.
Suryanarayana alleged that the state government is not honouring the commitment to pay the salaries and pensions on the first of every month. The AGEA leader said the government also withdrew the GPF amount of Rs.415 crore from the accounts of over 90,000 employees without their permission. He termed this a “serious” financial fraud.

[ad_1]
Damascus: The images and scenes continue of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, leaving thousands dead and injured.
In a video circulated on social media platforms, a Syrian girl appears under the rubble with her little brother, protecting her head for fear of him.
The video clip showed the little girl placing her hand over her brother’s head and embracing him to the chest, and talking to a paramedic, who asked her about her little brother Aya and the toys in an attempt to calm her down until they were pulled out.
The little girl said to the paramedic, “Uncle, “Pull me out and I will do whatever you want, I will be your servant!”
On Tuesday, the United Nations representative, Mohammad Safa, who posted the photo on Twitter, indicated that the duo had been under the rubble for 17 hours and got out safely.
“The 7-year-old girl who kept her hand on her little brother’s head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity…” Safa tweeted.

A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, killing hundreds and thousands of injured, and destroying many buildings, which was felt by the residents of Egypt, Lebanon, and Cyprus.
It is noteworthy that the total number of confirmed deaths in southeastern Turkey and Syria has risen to more than 6,000 as a result of the earthquake, which is the strongest in the region in nearly a century.
The toll continues to rise, as a very large number of people are still under the rubble of the collapsed buildings.

While the World Health Organization expected that the final outcome would be much greater than the announced non-final numbers.

Israel sees surge in foreign tourists’ hotel overnight stays

[ad_1]
Tel Aviv: The number of overnight stays of foreign tourists in hotels across Israel surged 785 per cent year on year in 2022, revealed an annual report issued by the country’s Central Bureau of Statistics.
The nights foreign tourists spent in Israeli hotels totaled 7.1 million last year, up from 2.19 million in 2020 and 802,000 in 2021, Xinhua news agency quoted the report as saying.
However, the number of overnight stays last year was still significantly lower than the 12.13 million tourist stays registered in 2019, before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since the beginning of 2022, Israel has gradually lifted entry restrictions on foreigners, thus increasing the monthly number of foreign tourist stays from 76,000 in January to 910,000 in November and 643,000 in December.
Overnight stays of Israelis in hotels in the country reached an all-time high of 15.93 million in 2022, breaking the previous record of 13.69 million registered in 2019.
