Inter-State Ganja trafficking network busted,Eight Notorious Peddlers arrested,681.8 Kg Ganja Seized by NCB:

NCB busts yet another Ganja trafficking network arrested eight persons and seized a total of 681.8 kg of marijuana from them.

Eight accused were arrested during the seizure namely S.Pawar,V.Pawar,B.Ware,M.Dhotre,D. Deshmukh,R.Gunjal,A.Gandhi and S.Sanap.

Based on a tip off from Bangalore NCB unit,a  team of NCB officials intercepted Swift Dzire car,one Honda City car and one Bolero Pick up near Pedda Amberpet Toll Plaza,near Rangareddy District,Telangana and during search the team found huge haul of drugs and seized 681.8 Kgs of Ganja.

The consignment was concealed in compressed form,kept in 335 brick like packets and wrapped with brown colour adhesive tapes.

This is a common modus operandi of Ganja trafficking sourced from Andhra-Odisha border.

During investigation it was revealed that the syndicate used to source ganja in huge quantity from Vishakhapatnam and distribute in various parts of Pune district and Osmanabad district of Maharashtra,Amit Ghawate,(Zonal Director,Bangalore),said.

According to Mr.Ghawate,Illegal Ganja Cultivation in India is largely concentrated around the naxal Infected Andhra-Odisha border areas.

Ganja from this region find its way to all over the country including Delhi,Mumbai,Maharashtra, Rajasthan,Tamilnadu,Kerala,West Bengal and is smuggled across the ocean to Sri Lanka,he said.

Difficult Terrain and inaccessibility make this area difficult for the law enforcement agencies to conduct destruction of illicit Ganja cultivation.

One of the other major Ganja cultivating region in India is the hilly terrains of Himachal Pradesh. North Eastern states of India are also vulnerable to Ganja cultivation due to its unique Geographical conditions.

Finally NCB acknowledges the role of Shri Amit Ghawate,(Zonal Director,Bangalore)and other team members of NCB Hyderabad Sub Zonal Unit and NCB Bangalore Zonal Unit with their concerted efforts in intelligence gathering and enforcement by NCB have so far had a telling effect on the seizure of Ganja sourced from Andhra-Odisha border areas he added.

BHOPAL: Religion is no barrier in attainment of spiritual knowledge. Mushariff Khan from Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara district is a perfect example of this. The Class VIII student can recite shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita with élan, much to the delight of her parents and teachers.

Mushariff started learning the holy Hindu scripture as part of memory retention training, and now she and her parents are proud that she has imbibed the best tenets of another religion.

The talented girl has learnt by heart 500 out of the total 701 shlokas in the Bhagavad Gita, using the memory retention technique taught by her Abacus and Vedic Mathematics teacher Rohini Menon.

“Mushariff is one of my best students. I gave her three options to showcase her memory retention technique: memorising the entire dictionary, the entire Constitution of India or the Bhagavad Gita. To the surprise of us all, she opted for learning the Bhagavad Gita. She started learning when she was in Class VI and has so far memorised 500 Sanskrit sholkas,” Menon told this newspaper.

Menon said many of her other students, too, have tried to learn the shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita, but only Mushariff has succeeded in memorising 500 shlokas till now and is determined to learn and understand the remaining ones, too.

Mushariff, whose father is a Mathematics teacher and mother a housewife, had joined the short course of Memory Retention under Menon two years back.

“After doing the short course, I wanted to do something unique and different. I chose to memorise the Bhagavad Gita because my mother has always taught me that ‘out of your house, you are a just a human being and not an individual following a particular religion’. My parents permitted me to learn the Bhagavad Gita as they wanted me to gain knowledge of every religion,” said Musharraf.

Proud of Mushariff’s achievement, her mother Zeenat Khan said, “Yes, we are Muslims. But we want to bring up our daughter in a manner that she grows up to be a noble human being ingrained with the best tenets of every religion.”

Will the DMDK face polls on April 6 battle alone

by

CHENNAI/PERAMBALUR: Even as alliance talks are underway, senior leaders of the DMDK — read as members of party supremo Vijayakant’s family — have hinted that they might pull out of the AIADMK combine. LK Sudish, brother-in-law of Vijayakant, has put up a social media post that reads: “Vijayakant is our CM candidate, war drum is our symbol and DMDK flag is our flag.

It clearly shows that the DMDK has been upset over seat-sharing talks with the AIADMK, which is ongoing for the past two days.Meanwhile, Vijayakant’s son Vijay Prabahakaran has made a statement that their party “would never bow its head in front of anyone.” Speaking in Perambalur on Monday afternoon, he said: “DMDK has always held its head high. 

We are not the party which runs behind money or deals. Neither the DMDK nor its workers will ever bow their heads down.” Combined, a reading of both these signals has given analysts an idea that the DMDK is looking to leave the alliance.

People to ‘spy’ on each other on social media Beware?

by

BENGALURU: Next time you post on Facebook or Instagram, or tweet a meme about a government policy, beware! For, even if a couple of your hundreds of contacts have signed up to be a volunteer for the Ministry for Home Affairs ‘Cyber Crime Volunteer Programme’, they can report any post that annoys or worries them.

These ordinary citizens are being asked to judge if a post threatens — anything from sovereignty of our nation and public order, to international relations and child rights — and alert the national-level agency.

The volunteer programme is supposed to act as a facilitative tool between ordinary citizens and the government for the prevention of cybercrime. Any citizen can register himself/herself under one of three categories: ‘Cyber Volunteer Unlawful Content Flagger’, ‘Cyber Awareness Promoter’, and ‘Cyber Expert’. Post-registration, the individual can directly report “unlawful content” being circulated over the Internet, which presumably includes social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, among others.

Maitreyi Krishnan, advocate, said, “This is a violation of the fundamental right to privacy. On what basis is the government asking people to spy on each other? This will lead to all kinds of vigilantism.”Vivek Sood, senior advocate, Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, said it was a violation of the right to privacy of the citizens. 

“These volunteers can be said to be the informers of the Big Brothers (George Orwell’s 1984) alias the law enforcement agencies,” Vivek Sood, senior advocate, Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, said.
Meanwhile, the Internet Freedom Foundation has written to the MHA, urging it to withdraw the programme immediately. The Foundation has stated that the offences included in the scope of this programme in the ‘National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal’ are already cognizable and can be reported to the police by any person. Therefore, there is confusion as to the necessity of this programme, it said.

“Under the programme, I4C (The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre) and the MHA have allowed a person to register as a ‘Cyber Volunteer Unlawful Content Flagger’ without fulfilling the requirement of any prior verification (KYC). Since no verification is required and the nature of the position itself is voluntary, it absolves the I4C and the MHA of any liability or guilt in cases of misuse,” the Foundation said.
