CAG takes wraps off Jharkhand blanket scam

harcraft incurred an expenditure of Rs 19.39 crore, including transportation cost, till January 2018."Audits indicated that the purported transactions were a fabric of fiction and Jharcraft officials purchased inferior blankets from elsewhere," the CAG report said.Though the yarn was supposed to reach first at the Jharcraft central store at Irba near Ranchi for quality check, it was shown as supplied directly to 27 clusters of Jharcraft "for reasons not on record", the report said.According to records available with the CAG team, 143 vehicles made 319 trips to transport 18.84 lakh kg of yarn from Panipat to 27 clusters, 105 vehicles made 264 trips to transport 8.50 lakh semi-finished blankets from those clusters to Panipat and 65 vehicles made 127 trips to carry 6.75 lakh finished blankets from Panipat to 24 districts of Jharkhand during 2017.However, when the audit team attempted to corroborate this with transport challans, road permits and records of three toll plazas located on the shortest route, they found huge irregularities.Cross-examination of the toll plaza records showed that a vehicle that left Panipat with yarn on September 17, 2017, for Latehar around 1,183km away, started another trip from Panipat the next day for Sahebganj. Similarly, another vehicle travelled from Panipat to Sahebganj, 1,567km away, on September 28, 2017, and returned for another trip to Ranchi from Panipat the next day."This is highly suspicious," state accountant general (audit) C. Nedunchezhian said while sharing the audit findings with the media. They even found that self-help groups and weavers cooperative societies couldn't have woven so many blankets within the stipulated time.Based on audit observation, the state industry department constituted an enquiry committee in March this year, but its report is still awaited.

Asian markets slip on fears of US slowdown

Markets in Hong Kong and Australia were closed. US Shutdown: The partial shutdown of the US government that started Saturday shows no signs of abating. 'Nothing new. Nothing new on the shutdown. Nothing new. Except we need border security,' Trump told reporters. The White House said Trump will reject any deal that does not include any funding for a wall or a fence. The Democrats have opposed this and are offering $1.3 billion for security. The routines of 800,000 federal employees are expected to be disrupted by the shutdown, but essential services will keep running. Fed Criticism: Trump's criticism of the US central bank triggered a drop in Asian equities on Tuesday. 'The only problem our economy has is the Fed,' the president said on Twitter. 'They don't have a feel for the Market, they don't understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders.' Trump has since said the hikes were a 'form of safety' for an economy that was doing well, while stressing that the Fed was raising interest rates too quickly. Analyst's take: 'The outsized moves are not reflective of the current US economic landscape, but that seems to matter little so far as fear mongering continues to permeate every pocket of global capital markets,' Stephen Innes of OANDA said in a market commentary. Energy: Benchmark US crude added 15 cents to $42.68 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract settled at $42.53 a barrel in New York on Monday. Brent crude, used to price international oils, dropped 19 cents to $50.28 a barrel. Currencies: The dollar strengthened to 110.45 yen from 110.31 yen. The euro rose to $1.1414 from $1.1392.

JPS posts: High Court asks government to publish cutoff marks of exam

During the course of hearing, the judge directed the officials concerned to take steps ensuring transparency on the issue in view of allegations by the petitioner that the candidates from general category were provided only 45 per cent reservation and 55 per cent for reserved category candidates contrary to the rules in vogue i.e. not to cross 50 per cent reservation for reserved category. Further, the judge questioned the authorities as to whether they have prepared merit list under the sports quota for the said posts. Petitioners' counsel S Rahul Reddy earlier told the court that the panchayat raj department had acted in haste in the process of selecting 9,355 posts of junior panchayat secretaries without following the rule of reservation and without releasing final key of the examination. Besides, the merit list was not published. In fact, about 70,000 objections were received from the candidates to the preliminary key after the examination, but have failed to dispose them. Even the rule of reservation was not followed, he pointed out and urged the court to direct the authorities to refix the reservations to 50 per cent ceiling limit and to publish the merit list. On Dec 19 this year, the judge took into consideration the submissions of the petitioners' counsel and permitted the government to go ahead with the selection process, but not to issue appointment orders under further orders. After hearing the petitions, Justice Rao directed the authorities to publish cutoff marks of the exam district and quota-wise categories. Dailyhunthttps://diigo.com/0dij43

Retd judge moves Madras high court against mall in Thiru Vi Ka park

The judge posted to January 4, 2019, further hearing of the petition, which also sought a direction to the CMRL to take necessary steps to restore the Thiru Vi Ka park as it existed prior to the handing over of possession to it. The judge said, 'Till then (January 4) there shall be no business activities including usage of heavy machineries between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. and tress grown up above the ground level should not be cut.' Petitioners' counsel R. Parthasarathy submitted that the CMRL proposed a plan in August 2008 to construct a part of the metro line through Shenoy Nagar and the park. The proposed metro rail line was to be built as an underground construction below the park, covering roughly 30 percent of the Park's area below ground, following which, the CMRL was supposed to begin the process of restoration of the park. Construction in this regard commenced in the year 2011 with the Shenoy Nagar Metro station becoming operational on May 15, 2017. During this period innumerable tress in the Park have been cut down for the metro station work. The same has impacted the environment, altering the very eco system of the locality, he added. Parthasarathy said in these circumstances, much to the shock and surprise, the petitioners recently learnt that CMRL now proposes to develop a mall comprising shops and food court in addition to the metro station in the park. Without the knowledge of the residents of Shenoy Nagar, the CMRL issued a tender for the construction of an 'amenities centre' spread over 21,000 sq.ft as an extension of the metro station, which would occupy significantly more space below the park and whose development would cause irreparable damage to the Park. M/s B.L. Kashyap & Sons has been awarded the works of 'design and construction of underground commuter amenities centre at Shenoy Nagar Metro Station including all temporary and permanent structures. Contrary to the earlier assurances that restoration work on the park would begin by early 2018 and that the residents would be permitted to verify the same at any point, the petitioners were presently not even permitted near the construction site, he added. ...

Fashion Year-ender: Bid goodbye to 2018 with striking clothing combinations

Coat dresses and sweater dresses are the new way to look great while partying in the winter chill. Pair with boots or your favorite kicks for an even more comfortable party statement. Experimental sleeves: With the need to stay bundled up in this weather, it's a good idea to pick statement making silhouettes like exaggerated and dramatic sleeves. Think bell sleeves, tiered flares or even slit sleeves- bring back retro completely when you pair these right with flared pants and skirts. Coat cardigans: With certain experimental silhouettes like the coat cardigan, you don't have to choose between the comfort of a jacket and the looks of a blazer. You can wear this silhouette with sweatshirts and t-shirts for a casual outing but the same can double team as dinner appropriate layer-on with a classic button down.

Tone-on-tone: A slight tone difference between a same colour top and bottom can make a huge difference in the entire feeling of men's attire. There are endless options in the box to choose from, but classic is the sky blue shirt with navy blue pant. Every colour comes with both a warm and cool flare; make sure your clothes match the hue correctly. Pattern on top: Patterns are known for adding novelty in the fashion sense. It's one level up in the game of casual dressing. Set yourself up for the New Year party with notch patterns. Before branching out ad exploring radiant side, start with the classics - a simple dot is a perfect choice. Do not buy plaids as they are overused and hard for men to grasp. The tailored leopard: Gone are the preconception days one had about animal print. While leaving for the New Year countdown, balance out the leopard print shirt with low slung white jeans and gabardine blazer. An advice to all the ladies, don't mix the leopard with other prints treating it as a neutral. Dailyhunthttps://ask.fm/kizaaakrizz

Omar, Mehbooba breach a boundary

Can't wait for when they make The Insensitive Prime Minister. So much worse than being the accidental one," Omar, who has so far confined his criticism of Modi and his government to public issues, tweeted.His remarks came in response to a promo released by the makers of The Accidental Prime Minister, an upcoming film on Singh's tenure in the top job. The film is apparently based on a 2014 memoir, carrying the same title, by Sanjaya Baru, who was Singh's media adviser between 2004 and 2008. The film has kicked off a verbal duel between the BJP and the Congress, which has accused the movie of false propaganda.Mehbooba's comments came in the context of the NIA, the country's premier anti-terror investigator, claiming it had busted an Islamic State module by arresting 10 suspects in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi."National security is supreme. But declaring suspects as terrorists on the basis of sutli bombs (festive firecrackers), (and) associating (them) with the dreaded IS is premature," Mehbooba tweeted.She appeared to take up the cause of the suspects, saying: "It has already devastated their lives and families. NIA must learn from earlier episodes in which the accused were acquitted after decades."Pro-India politicians in the Valley routinely slam the Centre for "targeting" Kashmiri youths, at times even when they are arrested outside the state for alleged militant links. But they rarely come to the defence of non-Kashmiris arrested outside on terror charges, lest it ruffle feathers at the Centre.Mehbooba went on: "Arrests by NIA in the election season do raise suspicion, especially after the urban Naxal case seems to be falling apart. National security is best served by being just and inclusive, not suspicious of an entire community."The "urban Naxal case" refers to Pune police's arrest of 10 human rights activists from across the country on the charge of Maoist links.Mehbooba had ruled the state in coalition with the BJP for two-and-a-half years, the alliance hitting her popularity. She now appears eager to make up lost ground by raising issues she normally will not.Both Mehbooba and Omar were trolled for their remarks."Mehbooba Mufti bats for her innocent ISIS kids. These politicians are cancer to India," tweeted Gaurav Pradhan, a corporate executive."Don't worry their (there) will also be movie on crooks of Kashmir. Think Abdullah can lead them," read a tweet in reply to Omar's. Dailyhunthttps://justpaste.it/4ay1s
