Nearly 20,000 Rohingya flee to Bangladesh from Myanmar

Refugee flow gathers pace amid renewed fighting as the international community expresses concern for civilian safety.

by Al Jazeera

At least 18,500 Rohingya Muslims, many sick and some with bullet wounds, have fled into Bangladesh over the past six days amid renewed fighting in western Myanmar.

The figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Wednesday came amid increasing concerns by the international community, with foreign governments and organisations worried that Rohingya villages are being subject to collective punishment after an armed group on August 5 attacked police posts and an army base in Rakhine state.

The attacks – in which at least 110 were killed – were claimed by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), a group which was formed by Rohingya living in Saudi Arabia after a bout of serious communal violence in 2012, according to the International Crisis Group.

In the days following the attacks, the Myanmar army has burned down areas of Rakhine state and fired on civilians, according to rights groups and witnesses.

Scores have reportedly been killed. Al Jazeera has been unable to verify the death tolls.

While Rohingya Muslims have largely fled to Bangladesh, Rakhine Buddhists have mostly sought sanctuary in towns and monasteries to the south and east of the fighting.

“As of last night, 18,500 people have come across” from Myanmar’s Rakhine state, Chris Lom, the IOM’s Asia-Pacific spokesman, told the AFP news agency.

‘Stuck at the border’

Lom said exact figures were difficult to obtain because many of those who have made it into Bangladesh might not register with local authorities.

“We also know there are people stuck at the border but we do not know how many,” Lom said.

Bangladesh, which already hosts some 400,000 Rohingya who have fled Myanmar over the years, has vowed to block new arrivals and has deported some of those it has caught trying to make the crossing.

“They are in a very, very desperate condition,” said Sanjukta Sahany, who runs the IOM office in the southern town of Cox’s Bazar near the border.

“The biggest needs are food, health services and they need shelter. They need at least some cover, some roofs over their heads.”

Sahany said many crossed “with bullet injuries and burn injuries,” and that aid workers reported that some refugees “gave a blank look” when questioned.

“People are traumatised, which is quite visible.”

The UN, while condemning the attacks by ARSA, has pressured Myanmar to protect civilian lives without discrimination and appealed to Bangladesh to admit those fleeing the military counteroffensive.

Northern Rakhine has been under lockdown since October last year when a previously unknown group of Rohingya fighters ambushed a series of border posts inside Myanmar.

That prompted a massive military response, leading to some 87,000 Rohingya fleeing to Bangladesh, bringing with them harrowing tales of murder, rape and burned villages.

Fires burning

The UN believes the Myanmar government’s response to the crisis may amount to ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Satellite data recently accessed by Human Rights Watch show widespread fires burning in at least 10 areas in Rakhine.

Myanmar authorities say Rohingya “extremist terrorists” have been setting the fires during fighting with government troops, while Rohingya have blamed soldiers who have been accused of carrying out extrajudicial killings.

Amazon to help implement Karnataka milk scheme

by

Bengaluru: Amazon on Wednesday announced a partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation to implement the Karnataka government’s ‘Ksheera Bhagya’ Scheme in the city, wherein schoolchildren would be provided a glass of milk each five days a week.

The partnership aims to reach out to 170,000 children across 1,300 government schools in the state.

“The scheme is a dream project conceived by Karnataka Milk Federation on Chief Minister’s (Siddaramaiah) suggestion to help poor children by providing them nutritious food essential for healthy growth and all-round development of schoolchildren,” Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Horticulture Minister A. Manju said in an official statement here.

“We are happy to see that Amazon has come forward to support its implementation,” he said.

Amazon Director and General Manager (Seller Services) Gopal Pillai said: “In line with Amazon Care’s vision of transforming lives, we have partnered with the civil society at large to bring about transformation and betterment of the community.”

The Ksheera Bhagya Scheme was launched by the Congress government in 2013 to provide nutrition through milk to students of government schools and anganwadis across the state.

City-headquartered Akshaya Patra Foundation has been implementing various midday meal schemes across 12 states in the country.

Shakib Al Hasan took 10 wickets in the match as Bangladesh defeated Australia by 20 runs

Bangladesh scripted history as the hosts shocked Australia by 20 runs on the fourth day of the first Test match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium here on Wednesday.

This was the first Test victory against Australia for the hosts and with this result Bangladesh have now taken a 1-0 lead in the two match series.

From 158 for 2, Australia slipped to 199 for 8. Lower-order batsmen Pat Cummins (33 not out) and Nathan Lyon (12) then tried to stabilise the innings but Taijul Islam removed Lyon to seal the issue.

Australia entered the fourth day needing 156 runs with eight wickets in hand. Australia’s captain Steven Smith and David Warner added 130 but left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan dismissed both the batsmen and their middle-order failed to rise the occasion.

Man of the Match Shakib took ten wickets and also scored 84 runs in the first innings.

Earlier, Bangladesh scored 260 runs in the first innings with Tamim Iqbal (71) and Shakib scoring handsomely for the hosts.

Then, the Bangladesh bowlers did a brilliant job to dismiss Australia for 217. Shakib took five wickets while Mehidy Hasan scalped three wickets.

In the second innings, Bangladesh scored 221, setting a target of 264, which Australia failed to chase and lost the match by 20 runs.

IT Raids on Karnataka Congress Secretary Vijay Mulgund

by

Bengaluru: Income Tax officials raided the residence of Karnataka Congress Secretary Vijay Mulgund today.

Continuing their investigation into D K Shivakumar’s properties, IT officials searched properties of his close aide, Vijay Mulgund, in Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi.

IT Department official told “Today’s raids are taking place simultaneously in New Delhi and Bengaluru.”

On August 2, IT officials raided Shivakumar’s official residence here. The officials had then seized over Rs 10 crore.

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah criticized the raids on Mulgund’s residence as part of the vendetta politics of the BJP government in New Delhi. “I have no objection to IT officials conducting raids but this selective targeting of Congress leaders lends credence to the feeling the IT Department is being misused to target Congress leaders,” Siddaramaiah said.

Yeddyurappa hosting Dalit families is a political gimmick: CM Siddaramaiah

by

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today described as a “political gimmick’ the BJP state President B S Yeddyurappa hosting Dalit families at his residence.

“It is just a political gimmick, it is a drama,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here in response to a question.

When said that Yeddyurappa has clarified that the event has nothing to do with politics, he said … then why he did not do it when he was the Chief Minister, while in power? Why did not he go to their (Dalits) houses and hear their difficulties and pain, then? Why did not he formulate programmes for their upliftment”, he asked.

“Did he give even a single Dalit leader good portfolio? See these are all political gimmicks. He is doing it for 2018 elections, but people will understand (the truth),” the Chief Minister said.

Yeddyurappa had yesterday hosted 33 Dalit families from across the state at his residence here, as a mark of gratitude to their hospitality during his state wide tour.
Considered as an attempt to woo Dalit votes, the families were served with lunch along with gifts besides arranging for sightseeing in the city.

As part of his “Janasamparka yatra” and drought study tour across the state in May, Yeddyurappa along with other leaders partook of breakfast at dalits houses across the state.

The former Chief Minister had quoted controversy during this state wide tour as it was alleged that he had breakfast brought from a nearby hotel instead of what was homemade, which drew flak from both the Congress and JD(S).

Gorakhpur tragedy continues: 42 children die in 48 hours at UP hospital

by

Gorakhpur: Two weeks after the Gorakhpur tragedy that stunned the nation, another 42 children died in the last 48 hours at the Baba Raghav Das (BRD) Medical College.

“42 children died in 48 hours of which 7 due to encephalitis, rest due to other reasons,” said PK Singh, the principal of BRD Medical College

Over 290 children have died at the hospital from August 1 till August 28, including at least 77 from Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES).

Among 36 deaths reported on August 27 and 28, seven children died of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES), 15 in Neo-Natal Ward NICU and 14 children died of different medical reasons, claimed a senior doctor at the hospital seeking anonymity, reported DNA.

According to hospital sources, nearly 1,250 children have died since January 2017, including 175 due to AES.

Following widespread outrage over the death of children, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government suspended BRD principal Dr Rajiv Mishra.

Mishra and his wife were arrested by the Special Task Force in Kanpur on Tuesday.

Dr Kafeel Khan, who shot to limelight for saving many kids, was also sacked from his position of as the head of the encephalitis ward.

Source told the DNA, while the state goes on a sacking spree, no arrangements have been made for the replacements.

It is interesting to note that Gorakhpur and surrounding areas have been badly affected by the encephalitis infection for more than a decade.

Despite many efforts, the locals have not been able to realise the extent of the situation. A doctor on condition of anonymity told the DNA, “How will we treat these infants when they reach hospital at the last stage.”

He also said that, “the toll, if compared from the previous year, is less. Media is unnecessary making a hue and cry.”

Anna Hazare slams PM Modi over inaction on Lokpal, plans fresh agitation

by

New Delhi: Social activist Anna Hazare on Wednesday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the union government’s inaction on Lokpal and threatened to launch another round of agitation in the national capital.

The anti-corruption crussader in his letter mentioned that he would continue to campaign in Delhi till Lokayukta isn’t appointed and Swaminathan report isn’t implemented.

The 80-year-old activist in hs letter mentioned that he will reveal the date and place of his agitation in the national capital in his next letter.

Slamming the Narendra Modi-led government, Hazare said that his protest will be aimed predominantly against the Modi government’s apathy in appointing a Lokpal even after three years in the Centre.

“It has been six years of a historical movement that aimed at creating a corruption-free India. But even after six years, the government has not drafted a definitive law to end corruption,” Hazare’s letter to PM says.

“For three years now, I kept reminding your government on the appointment of Lokpal and Lokayukts as well as on the welfare of farmers, but you neither replied to my letters nor took any action,” he wrote.

The letter demands that a Lokpal (ombudsman) be appointed at the Centre, a Lokayukta in every state, and a Citizen’s Charter on ending corruption be adopted by the government.
