Married man commits suicide for sexual Harrsement by co-worker’s

by

Frustrated by a woman’s never-ending demand for sex, a 38-year-old man from Parbhani district of Maharashtra ended his life. The man was identified as Sachin Mitkari and worked at a hospital along with the woman.

On Monday, the police said that the man was found hanging from the ceiling at his residence situated on Vasmat-Parbhani road on Sunday. It was the neighbours who reportedly found him hanging and called on the police. His body was then sent for autopsy by the cops.

Mitkari penned down a suicide note which was recovered from the spot by the police. The note said that the woman had been harassing him and insisting him to have a sexual relationship with her.

Despite being told by Mitkari the fact that he was married, the woman continued to chase him so that she could indulge in a sexual relationship with him.

She allegedly also used to threaten and blackmail him that she would file a criminal case against him, said a police official quoting the suicide note. A case of abetment to suicide was registered against him by the police, as per what the official told news reporting agency PTI. Further investigation into the matter is reportedly underway.

This incident clearly tells us the impact sexual harassment can have on one’s life as this news has come in amid the #MeToo movement currently going on in India wherein different women are coming up with their ordeals and accounts of harassment, especially at their places of work.

This man should have gone on to publicise the said woman’s deeds, gaining inspiration from the many Me Too survivors. This could have saved his life and it is a clear indication that men should also join the campaign by voicing out their stories of harassment on social media.

Sharif’s PML-N improves showing in Pak by-polls; Imran’s PTI front runner

by

Pakistan’s deposed premier Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N recovered some ground in the by-elections by eating up the votes of prime minister Imran Khan’s PTI, winning four out of 11 parliamentary seats which went to the polls, according to the results on Monday.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf lost its two seats vacated be Prime Minister Khan. His seat in Lahore was won by former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi of the Pakistan Muslims League-Nawaz (PML-N) and in Bannu by of Zahid Akram Durrani of the Muttahida Majlis Aml party.

The outcome of the by-election will not impact the federal or provincial government but help reinvigorate the opposition parties.

Polling for 11 National Assembly — the lower house of Parliament — and 24 provincial seats saw a tough competition between the ruling PTI led by Khan and the main opposition PML-N.

The PML-N and the PTI won four seats each of the National Assembly whereas Pakistan Muslims League-Quadi won two seats and Muttahida Majlis Amal one seat, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said.

The PTI won 11 seats of the provincial assemblies while the PML-N won seven. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), led by former president Asif Ali Zardari, and Awami National Party won two each and independent candidates grab two seats.

The PML-N won six out of 11 contested seats in Punjab while its arch-rival PTI won five. The PML-N also won a provincial assembly seat in Khyber-Pakhtukhwa, which is the stronghold of the PTI.

The PML-N won several seats vacated by the PTI candidates during July 25 general elections including at least two seats of the National Assembly.

According to the ECP, 9.28 million voters were eligible to vote. For the first time, overseas Pakistanis also participated in the elections though a special online portal designed by the ECP.

Thousands of army soldiers, police and paramilitary Rangers and Frontier Corps were deployed to provide security at 7,489 polling stations. The ECP had designated as many as 1,727 polling stations as highly sensitive where extra troops were deployed and security cameras installed.

Most of the seats which went to the polls were vacated by those candidates who had won on more than one seat during the July 25 general elections. Prime Minister Khan had won five seats and vacated four which were also up for grabs.

Heavy rainfall expected in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi on Thursday and Friday

by

The Indian Meteorological Department on Monday said that heavy rainfall is expected in coastal Karnataka on Thursday and Friday. A bulletin said that heavy rainfall is likely to occur at isolated places over Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, and over 65 mm rainfall is expected on both days.

Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada and Udupi has been already receiving more than normal rainfall. According to Karnataka State Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) data as of October 15, Dakshina Kannada has received 77% excess rainfall in the last 7 days, while Udupi has received 9% more in the same duration. However, Uttara Kannada faced a deficit of 65% over the last week.

Rainfall is also expected in Bengaluru and parts of south interior Karnataka, Malnad (central Karnataka) and some parts of north interior Karnataka.

Sunil M Gavaskar, a meteorologist at the KSNDMC, said, “We are expecting widespread moderate rain and isolated heavy rainfall along with thunderstorm activity for the next 3-4 days in coastal Karnataka. Malnad region will also have isolated places of heavy rainfall. Due to the trough over Tamil Nadu and adjacent areas and cyclonic circulation in north Karnataka, we are also expecting some rainfall in south interior Karnataka, and isolated places in north interior Karnataka region also.”

The districts which are likely to receive rainfall include Bagalkot, Belagavi, Ballari, Vijayapura, Chamarajanagara, Chikkaballapura, Chikkamagaluru, Chitradurga, Devanagari, Dharwad, Gadag, Hassan, Haveri, Kodagu, Koppal, Mandya, Mysore, Raichur, Ramanagara, Shimoga and Tumkur.

In Kodagu, people are still reeling under the effects of floods in August, with 674 people still in relief camps. A large part of the state is suffering from acute deficient rainfall.

Srinivas Reddy, Managing Director of KSNDMC, said, “Out of 176 taluks, 45 taluks in Malnad and coastal belt are flood affected, while 86 talus we have declared as drought affected. We are also looking at declaring another 14 taluks as drought affected. So only the remaining 25 odd taluks we can say has got normal rainfall.”

The scant rainfall in these areas has largely affected agriculture. Around 9 lakh hectares of targeted sown land went unsown during the Kharif season.

“Even in the 65 lakh hectares of land that has been sown, we are experiencing crop loss in around 20 lakh hectares. This is not the final picture. We are taking further detailed surveys and further crop loss is expected,” he added.

The only bright side is that water levels of major reservoirs which are at a much higher level when compared to this time last year, with decreasing trends in groundwater levels and minor irrigation tanks.

India U-18 men’s, women’s Hockey team bag silver at Youth Olympics

by

The Indian Under-18 men’s and womens Hockey team finished their 2018 Youth Olympic Games campaign with silver medals.

While the women suffered a heart-breaking 1-3 loss against hosts Argentina, the men were handed a 2-4 loss by Malaysia in their respective final of the hockey 5s competition on Sunday night.

In the women’s affair, India’s Mumtaz Khan (1′) opened the scoring in the match after just 49 seconds, but the hosts scored thrice through Gianella Palet (7′), Sofia Ramallo (9′) and Brisa Bruggesser (12′) to secure the Gold Medal.

Indian women started the first period well as they attacked the hosts right from the opening whistle, and were rewarded after just 49 seconds as in-form forward Mumtaz scored to give her team a crucial lead.

However, Argentina put the pressure on their opponents to find the equalizer in front of their home crowd and were successful in their efforts as Gianella Palet (7′) and Sofia Ramallo (9′) scored to turn the match around and help their side to a 2-1 lead at half-time.

The second period saw Argentina keep most of the possession, not allowing the Indian team to find space or create chances. It was Argentina’s Brisa Bruggesser who had the first real chance of the second period in the 12th minute, and the Midfielder made sure that she hit the target, giving her team a solid 3-1 lead.

Argentina, backed by their crowd, made sure that they managed the game well, as they kept possession and saw themselves through to the final whistle to register a historic Gold Medal victory.

Coming to the men’s contest, India captain Vivek Sagar Prasad (3′, 6′) scored twice within the first six minutes of the match to give India a 2-1 lead, but the Malaysians struck thrice in the second period through Akhimullah Anuar (14′, 19′) and Arif Ishak (17′) to secure the victory, after Firadus Rosdi (5′) had equalized for them in the first period.

Both the teams started the match well but it was India who struck first through Vivek in the 3rd minute. However, Malaysia were not behind for too long as Firadus Rosdi threatened the Indians in the 5th minute, and struck the equalizer in his second attempt to make the scores 1-1.

The Indian skipper looked in prime form as he forced a save from the Malaysian Goalkeeper Shahrul Saupi in the 6th minute and then managed to beat the Malaysian in the same minute to give India the lead again.

The second period, however, turned out to be a difficult one for the Indian team as they had to face constant pressure from the Malaysians. After having denied Malaysia of levelling the scores, Indian goalkeeper Prashant Chauhan was beaten for the second time in the match in the 14th minute as Akhimullah Anuar scored past him to make the scores 2-2.

Malaysia took the lead on the counter in the 17th minute through Arif Ishak. Having taken a 3-2 lead, it was the Malaysian team who now started to dominate the proceedings, and it was Akhimullah Anuar who popped up again in the 19th minute to seal the Gold Medal win for his team.

Modi doesn’t care for farmers: Rahul

by

Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at Narendra Modi, accusing the Prime Minister of insulting the people of India.

“The Prime Minister said from the ramparts of the Red Fort that the nation had been asleep for 70 years,” he said here ahead of next month’s Assembly election in Madhya Pradesh. “This is an insult to every section of the society.”

On August 15, Modi had criticized the Congress that has ruled for long years since India’s Independence in 1947. He had said that India was earlier a sleeping elephant, which had woken up and started running.

President Donald Trump finds India and China competing with the US, Gandhi said at a public meeting here. “We have reached this stage because of the contribution of farmers, workers, small businessmen and women over the past 70 years.”

He called the Modi government at the Centre a “government of the country’s top 15 businessmen”.

“The Centre is not ready to waive off loans of farmers but has done so for 15 top businessmen. The Congress had waived off farmers’ loans,” Gandhi added.

The Congress leader reached Gwalior by a special plane on Monday and then went to the Pitambara Peeth temple in Datia, accompanied by party leaders Kamal Nath and Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Madhya Pradesh goes to polls on November 28.

Rahul should apologize, sack Sidhu for his anti-south remarks: BJP

by

Accusing the Congress of turning itself into an organisation with an anti-India mindset, the BJP on Monday sought an apology from its President Rahul Gandhi and sacking of Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu for his analogy between visiting Pakistan and south India.

BJP Spokesperson G.V.L. Narasimha Rao told the media that the Congress has been following a double-pronged strategy — hoping to make an entry in Pakistan’ politics by showing its “love and affection” for it and by following a “break India campaign”.

“Break the country is the new slogan of Rahul Gandhi. He is following a strategy creating division and disaffection between different regions of the country. The Congress is no longer a political party but has become an organisation with anti-India mindset,” Rao said citing recent incidents of migration of north Indians from Gujarat and Congress’ stand during action against urban naxals.

“This was done with a political narrative and the genesis of all this goes back to the manner in which Cambridge Analytica, a company which was retained by Congress, creates social and communal conflicts and caste divide,” he said.

The BJP’s attack on the Congress comes in the wake of Sidhu’s recent remarks at the Khushwant Singh Literature Festival in Kasauli, where he drew an analogy between visiting Pakistan and south India.

Implying that Pakistan’s culture was more similar and familiar to Punjab than south India, he had said: “I can’t understand the language, it’s just one or two words. Not that I don’t like the food, but I cannot have it for a long time, the culture is totally different. When I go to Pakistan, the language is the same, like you know, when you abuse in English 10 times, one abuse in Punjabi overpowers all.”

Hitting out at Sidhu, Rao said that his analogy was an attempt to poison the minds of people to divide different parts of India and to create a negative and adverse image of south India.

“You should apologize and you have to sack Sidhu from Punjab cabinet. Nothing short of sacking will satisfy people from South. We will certainly raise this issue. We will hold protests against Sidhu and Rahul Gandhi. We will take to streets. Rahul Gandhi must apologize and sack Sidhu within this week. Otherwise be ready to face political consequences when you visit south,” Rao said.

He said Sidhu had no business to insult people of south India.

“You may love your leader, you may love your pasta and pizza or you may love Karachi kulche we have no problem but you have no business to say that I like Pakistan more than South India.

The BJP leader also accused the Congress of insulting former Prime Minister late P. V. Narasimha Rao, saying Sonia Gandhi’s hatred against South India did not allow Rao’s body to be taken to Congress headquarters in Delhi and his body was forcibly taken to Hyderabad despite the wishes of his family members, who wanted his cremation in Delhi.

“Rao (P.V.Narasimha), who was the real father of economic reforms, was not even cremated properly. Rahul Gandhi should apologize for ill treating a great statesman like Rao,” he said.

He took a dig at the Congress for not giving due credit to Rao in the Congress’s campaign and functions in South India specially in Telangana and said if the Congress does not do so the BJP will tell people to throw the party into the Hussain Sagar lake in Hyderabad.
