Washington: US President Donald Trump is set to withdraw Deferred Action for Children Arrival (DACA) which may impact around 7000 Indian-Americans.

DACA is a program which was introduced by former President Barack Obama in June 2012. DACA grants work permits to immigrants who arrived in the country illegally as children.

India ranks 11th among countries of origin for DACA students, according to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services statistics available till March 31, 2017. The decision is likely to impact more than 7,000 Indian-Americans, says news agency Press trust of India citing a media report.

The White House has planned to delay the enforcement of the President’s decision for six months, giving Congress a window to act, sources said.

This decision is expected to draw widespread criticism including from his own Republican party. In a radio interview Paul Ryan, Speaker of the US House of Representatives said that Trump should not terminate DACA as “these children know no other country than the US”.

by

by Rizwan Asad & Shaheen Raaj

Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan, hailing from Bangalore happens to be a highly qualified woman having acquired her Master’s degree (graduate) in Economics from Bangalore University.

During the period of going through her academics qualification Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan also happened to be a junior under officer in NCC and successfully completed 12 NCC camps and also holds a “C” certificate.



That apart, Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan before becoming an entrepreneur was also an active social worker and was even an executive board member of an NGO. Fathima Tabassum later on joined an NGO as a co – founder & chairman of NAARI FOUNDATION for the women’s in conflict areas such Victims of social abuse, rape, acid attacks, welfare of literate, illiterate & downtrodden women in fact women from all strata of life as well as children.

Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan’s portfolio also includes, being the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Agni Leadership Centre, besides she is also the managing partner of an FMCG trading firm running under the brand of “FAIZA FOODS”.

NAARI Foundation being recognized by Indian Economics Trade Organization (IETO) along with Asian Arab Chambers of Commerce(AACC) and Diplomatic Council Corps of Karnataka (DCCK) and British South India Council of Commerce (BSICC). Was facilitated by the Member of Parliament UK from Ealing Southall Mr.Virendra Sharma along with the President of IETO Mr. Asif Iqbal & Christy Paul – General Secretary & Director of Commercial Trade – IETO. It was an honor and privilege for Fathima Tabassum Founders of NAARI Foundation in acknowledging our work for the women who are in distress in Bengaluru – Karnataka.

Elaborating about the need to start an active NGO namely NAARI FOUNDATION Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan avers, “Starting an NGO for women was the need of the hour. You see many women from the lower strata of society and for that matter even from the upper strata of society find it impossible to voice their opinion or even fail to express their grievances openly. They are so meek sometimes that they quietly give in to the dominating power of their husbands, in laws & sometimes even the society at large. So I sincerely felt that there should be a strong platform for all these women. And this platform is NAARI FOUNDATION.”



Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan further explains on how it was difficult to make these women come under the roof of NAARI FOUNDATION, “Initially it was quite an uphill task to convince these women but I stuck to my guns and slowly, slowly and with a more consistent efforts I succeeded in making them see the reason for their suffering and how NAARI FOUNDATION can come to their rescue and help them to solve their problems and sometimes even the day – to – day ones.”

Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan continues by stating, “To be very frank as far as funding NAARI FOUNDATION is concerned 50% of my earning from my own business of FAIZA FOODS under FMCG.

Then Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan goes ahead to clear the air regarding certain confusions as far as NAARI FOUNDATION is concerned, “I joined this organization mainly to teach the girls on how to lead their life following the right path and fight for their rights and this in no way means that we are making them a rebel. No we are not!!! Besides there is no restrictions on the age limit too, to be a member of NAARI FOUNDATION as we have members ranging from the age of 18 to 80. Not only these we also enlighten them about the proper teachings of the way of living and the over – all response is very good. And come to think of it, it’s only a year since NAARI FOUNDATION has been started. First of all we help these women by counseling them on varied aspects and problems of their life which also includes domestic violence and their marital issues too.”

Fathima Tabassum Nawab Jaan says this in conclusion, “These women were also helped during the phase of demonetization, the scheme which was implemented by our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. We rushed towards a small bank opposite Amaanat Bank in Bangalore. There was a long serpentine queue in front of the Bank and the women were complaining that “we poor women are standing here since hours and none of the rich people are seen here and we need money which we are not getting.” So we helped them in all possible ways.

Farrukhabad DM, CMO removed after 49 children die in district hospital

by

Farrukhabad/Lucknow: Forty-nine infants died in a month in the Farrukhabad district hospital, most of them from “perinatal asphyxia”, a condition in which the child cannot breathe properly, officials said today.

In a virtual replay of the tragedy in Gorakhpur, where 30 children died in two days in a state-run hospital last month, parents of many of the children in Farrukhabad told officials there was a delay in providing oxygen and medicines.

The hospital recorded 49 deaths — 30 in neo-natal ICU and 19 during delivery — between July 20 and August 21, an official spokesperson said in Lucknow.

The state government today removed Farrukhabad District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar as well as Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Umakant Pandey and Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS) Akhilesh Agarwal.

An FIR against the CMO and the CMS was registered last night in Farrukhabad, about 180 km from the state capital.

“A high-level team will be sent to Farrukhabad to probe the deaths and its technical aspects will also be taken care of. Taking note of the incident, the DM, the CMO and the CMS (women’s hospital) have been removed,” the spokesperson said.

He said 468 deliveries took place in the women’s wing of the hospital during the period. Of these, 19 were stillbirths.

City Magistrate Jaynendra Kumar Jain and SDM Ajit Kumar Singh said a probe found that most deaths were due to breathing problems. They also said in the report that the CMO and the CMS did not cooperate with the investigation.

“During the period, 30 children died mostly due to perinatal asphyxia (a condition in which a child does not breathe normally just before, during, or after birth). During probe, the parents informed that there was delay in providing oxygen and medicine due to which the children died due to lack of adquate supply of oxygen,” the report stated.

The report did not mention the remaining 19 deaths. Addressing a hurriedly convened press conference today, Principal Secretary (Health) Prashant Trivedi said the deaths had “nothing to do with oxygen supply”.

“Stating that the deaths were related to oxygen amounts to making the matter unnecessarily sensational without any basis. the Director General Medical Health will give a detailed report on it,” he added.

Principal Secretary (Information) Awanish Awasthi, who was also present, said, “…19 were still born children while 30 others died due to various causes, including perinatal asyphyxia. This may be caused by the umblical cord going around the neck of the child… Our medical team will look at it.”

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s office took prompt notice of the matter after local news channels reported the deaths of 49 children in the hospital and directed the district magistrate to conduct a probe, officials said.

News of the deaths in the Farrukhabad hospital comes after at least 30 children died in a state-run hospital in Gorakhpur on August 10-11 amid allegations of oxygen shortage, a charge stoutly denied by the state government.
