Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday condoled the death of more than 800 people in an earthquake and consequent tsunami in Indonesia last Friday and offered all possible assistance to the Southeast Asian archipelago nation.

India’s offer of help was conveyed by Modi during a telephone conversation with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

“The Prime Minister offered deepest condolences on his behalf and on behalf of the people of India on the loss of precious lives in the earthquake and tsunami that hit Sulawesi region of Indonesia,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.

“The Prime Minister appreciated the resilience and courage of the people of Indonesia in facing the challenges emanating from the widespread devastation due to this grave natural calamity,” it stated.

“In response to Indonesia’s appeal for international aid, the Prime Minister offered to the President of Indonesia all possible assistance from India as a maritime neighbour and friend of Indonesia.”

Mass graves were dug on Monday as Indonesia began burying hundreds of people killed by the earthquake and the tsunami that cracked streets, crumbled buildings and swept homes on the island of Sulawesi. At least 844 were confirmed dead and the toll was expected to climb, with heavily populated areas cut off from any assistance.

H D Revanna transfers 700 PWD officials, Courts controversy

by

As many as 700 Public Works Department (PWD) officials, from engineers to first division assistants have been transferred in a overnight decision. This decision has been taken despite regulations against the transfer of officials in the middle of a financial year.

This ill advised and sudden move by PWD minister HD Revanna has likely lead to more friction between the coalition partners Congress and JD(s).

On Monday, Several senior Congress leaders, including a few ministers and MLA met CM HD Kumaraswamy conveyed their unhappiness on the PWD minister HD Revanna’s transfer of 700 odd officials. They urged the CM to stall all the transfers immediately.

“Two ministers warned the CM that if Revanna does not mend his way the government may fall anytime,” informed an MLA.

Altogether 191 assistant engineers, 150 junior assistants, 200 assistant executive engineers, 20 executive engineers, and 10 superintending engineers have been transferred. Besides, office superintendents, first and second division assistants were also transferred.

Revanna is the brother of CM and has been in the news for wrong reasons. Recently he hit the headline for tossing biscuits at the flood victims at one of the relief camps. It is being said that the current transfers have been effected without consenting other departments. This has only caused discomfort to the ministers of the respective departments including the RDPR, Urban Development and the Water Resource Departments.

The 70th Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court granted set the bail amount at Rs 1 lakh. Vijay and his aides were also ordered to appear before the investigating officer regularly and cooperate with the investigation. Officials at the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru said that they have not recieved a copy of the bail order from the court. “Duniya Vijay can walk out of the jail if the bail application reaches before 7:30pm. October 2 being a public holiday, he will be released on Wednesday if the bail application reaches anytime after 7:30pm,” a prison official said.

Earlier on September 26, the 8th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Bengaluru had denied him bail in connection with an assault case.

Duniya Vijay was arrested by High Grounds Police on Sunday for allegedly assaulting and kidnapping a man named Maruthi Gowda. Maruthi is the nephew of Pani Puri Kitty, Vijay’s former friend and trainer.

The High Grounds Police booked Vijay under IPC sections 365 (kidnapping), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 325 (punishment for causing grievous hurt) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and was subsequently remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.

The actor and three of his associates were lodged in Parappana Agrahara prison so far.

Meanwhile, officials at High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru have also registered an FIR against the complainant in the assault case – H Krishnamurthy alias Paani Puri Kitty, the alleged assault victim Maruthi Gowda and others.

The FIR was registered based on a counter complaint by actor Duniya Vijay. The actor alleged that Pani Puri Kitty and Maruti Gowda threatened his son’s life, pushed him and damaged his sports car on Sunday night near High Grounds Police Station. It was the same night Vijay was accused of assaulting Maruthi Gowda, a gym trainer at Ambedkar Bhavan, after a bodybuilding event.

Kitty was previously Vijay’s gym trainer and is the uncle of Maruthi Gowda. Actor Duniya Vijay is not new to controversy.

He was out on bail after being booked for abetment in connection with the ‘Maasti Gudi’ case – in November 2016, where a stunt shoot had gone wrong at the Thippagondanahalli Reservoir and resulted in the death of two actors.

In the scene, Duniya Vijay, Uday and Anil had to jump off a helicopter from a height of 100ft. While Vijay had a life jacket, the other two actors were not given any safety gear. Vijay was on the run for over a year after he was charged by police for helping accused producer P Sundar Gowda avoid arrest. He was also detained by police in connection with another assault, in which he allegedly beat up one of Sundar Gowda’s relatives.

HC dismisses petition against ‘triple talaq’ ordinance

by

The Bombay High Court Monday dismissed a petition challenging provisions of an ordinance that makes the practice of instant triple talaq a punishable offence.

Former municipal councillor Masood Ansari, city-based NGO ‘Rising Voice Foundation’ and advocate Devendra Mishra had filed the petition last week.

President Ram Nath Kovind had last month signed the ordinance, according to which giving instant triple talaq has been made illegal and void, and will attract a jail term of three years for the husband.

Seeking to allay fears that the law could be misused, the government also included some safeguards in it, such as providing for bail to the accused husband.

A division bench of Justices B R Gavai and A M Dhavale said Monday that it was not inclined to entertain the petition as a similar plea was pending before the Supreme Court.

The petition claimed that the provisions of the ordinance are “illegal, null, void, unreasonable and arbitrary”.

It had sought an interim stay on those sections of the ordinance which criminalise the act of pronouncing talaq by a Muslim husband.

As per the proposed law, it would only be applicable on instant triple talaq or ‘talaq-e-biddat’ and would give power to the victim to approach a magistrate seeking “subsistence allowance” for herself and minor children.

A woman can also seek the custody of her minor children from the magistrate who will take a final call on the issue.
