Pulwama attack effect: 2 Uttarakhand colleges say won't admit Kashmiris

Top officials of the two colleges have confirmed the development in separate letters shared with students' unions, who have been demanding expulsion of all Kashmiri students following the attack. In the Uttarakhand capital, some Kashmiri youths had also alleged that they were harassed and asked by their landlords to vacate accommodations fearing attacks on their properties in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident. On Friday, a student in Dehradun was also booked for allegedly sending WhatsApp messages supporting the Pulwama suicide attack. The Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday had asked its liaison officers across the country to look into problems being faced by students from the state. In Jaipur, four female paramedical students of Kashmiri-origin were slapped with sedition charges after being suspended from a private institute for allegedly celebrating the terror attack by posting 'anti-national' messages on an instant messaging app, police officials had Sunday. They were students of the National Institute of Medical Science NIMS. Haryana's Swami Devi Dyal College has suspended a Kashmiri student after he allegedly posted a status on Whatsapp saying 'Jaish the best...more to come'. The student was suspended with immediate effect but no police complaint could be initiated against him as he is in Kashmir since January and has not been attending college, according to the institute's management, . In Bengaluru, one Kashmiri student was Saturday arrested for allegedly hailing the Jaish terrorist involved in the attack and three from Spurthy Group of Institutions on Sunday held on charges of sedition after they posted some messages on Facebook hailing Pakistan in respect to the Pulwama incident. Several Kashmiri students in Delhi said they were in a state of fear after reports of alleged harassment of Kashmiris following the terror attack, even as police asserted that security had been enhanced in the national capital and they would ensure the safety of all citizens. A Kashmiri student from Jamia Millia Islamia, who did not wish to be identified, said, 'Just the fact that one is a Kashmiri, irrespective of his ideology or leanings, is enough to put one's life to risk. It is happening across the country. Kashmiri students are being harassed and hounded, be it Dehradun, Ambala or Bangalore. We really fear for our security here too.' JNU activist Shehla Rashid, who hails from Kashmir, said, 'Throughout India, mobs are attacking Kashmiri students, verbally abusing them, asking for them to be expelled and filing false cases against them. The pretext being given in each case is that they said Pakistan Zindabad and even police is buying into these false claims.' Anis Ahmed, a Kashmiri student at Delhi University, said, 'We are not at all reacting on social media to any abuses which are being hurled at us even if we are being labelled as terrorists. Students who are staying on rented accommodations rather than hostels are even more scared about their safety'. The Home Ministry on Saturday issued an advisory to all states and Union territories to take measures to ensure the safety and security of Kashmiris, while The ministry's advisory had come hours after Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured an all-party meeting of doing the needful for the protection of the Kashmiri students and people who were allegedly threatened after the terrorist attack.

Punjab Cricket association removes pictures of Pakistani players from Mohali stadium

The entire nation is shocked by what happened in Pulwama. Keeping the public sentiments in mind, we have taken the decision,' said Singla. The frames, around a dozen in number, are official match pictures, including that of the crowd during the 2011 World Cup semifinal between the arch rivals, besides candid shots of players, including Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, former pacer Wasim Akram and former captain and coach Javed Miandad. 'War and sports can't go hand-in-hand' 'Sportsman spirit is one thing but the association feels that war and sports cannot hand-in-hand. Everybody is disturbed with the terror attack and the association has made a humble effort to show solidarity with the nation,' said treasurer Ajay Tyagi. PCA has a rich history of hosting Pakistan on a number of occasions in all the three formats of the game. This includes one Test match way back in 2005. The ground has seen two T20 internationals involving Pakistan, which has also featured in seven ODIs, including the high-voltage 2011 World Cup semifinal. The last was attended by the top leaders of both the countries, including the then prime ministers Manmohan Singh and Yousuf Raza Gilani. The association even had former Pakistan captain and coach Intikhab Alam as its Ranji team coach for two seasons from 2004-06. He was appointed again in 2008-09 but couldn't join as he was made the manager of the Pakistan team. He was coach of the Pakistan team that won the 1992 World Cup. Earlier, on Saturday, the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai had covered a portrait of Imran Khan in its canteen as a mark of protest. Dailyhunthttp://doodleordie.com/profile/michealratees

Explained: Why BJP and Shiv Sena have decided to stick together in Maharashtra

'The Shiv Sena and the BJP have been partners for the past 25 years,' Fadnavis said. He acknowledged that 'there have been some differences in the past,' however, 'both the parties are ideologically committed to Hindutva and that is the reason we have come together'. 'Because some parties are coming together to cause confusion and challenge the nationalist thought, it is necessary that nationalist parties come together,' Fadnavis said. Watch video: Why the BJP needs Shiv Sena in Maharashtra setTimeout(function(){(function(id){var embedTag=document.getElementById(id).children[0]; if(embedTag){var width=embedTag.offsetWidth; var height=embedTag.offsetHeight; embedTag.height=document.body.offsetWidth * (height/width); embedTag.width=document.body.offsetWidth;}})("embed-brightcove-iframe-tag-0");},1000); The nearly half-and-half seat-sharing arrangement — 25 for BJP and 23 for Shiv Sena — for the Lok Sabha polls demonstrates the realisation of each party's need for the other in a situation where doing well in Maharashtra is critical to the BJP's return to power in New Delhi. Since 1989, when they first entered into a formal alliance, the two parties have fed off each other to gain political strength. However, the Sena, after having played the dominant role in the alliance for years, had begun to feel insecure as the BJP's star rose in 2014 when it emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly elections. Left with no choice, the Sena had joined the BJP-led government as the junior partner but had chosen to criticise the BJP at every possible opportunity. Fadnavis said that a similar seat-sharing formula would apply for the Assembly elections as well. The two parties would hold talks with other allies and, 'After allotting requisite seats to other allies, both the parties will fight an equal number of seats in the Maharashtra Assembly elections,' Fadnavis said. An analysis of the electoral performance of the two parties since they joined hands shows that the alliance helped the Sena piggyback on the BJP's popularity to national prominence while helping the BJP gain greater penetration in the state. Initially, the Sena got a larger share of seats in the Assembly polls, while the BJP had the upper hand in the Lok Sabha elections. This changed gradually, and in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP contested on 24 seats to the Sena's 20. In the Assembly elections of that year, the parties contested separately, as perception grew among the Sena cadre that the BJP had been the bigger gainer from their alliance. But with the parties fighting tough battles both in the state and at the Centre, and with their main competitors, the Congress and NCP, having decided to strike an alliance, getting back together was probably their only option.

Chris Gayle: Am still Universe Boss

I'm in good condition. The body is feeling good and I'm pleased with that. "I've lost a bit of weight and I don't want to get too big. I'm still working on my six-pack."I'm trying to keep up with the youngsters on the field who are like cats, the way they chase the ball. I still have it in me and I'm still enjoying it."I don't know who is opening the bowling for England, but I would like to tell any bowler, 'Beware of Chris Gayle.' "That doesn't change just because he is 39 now. They are going to be saying, 'Yes, he's got some grey hair in his beard, let's get him now, this is the perfect time to get the Universe Boss now that he is 39.' But I will be ready," Gayle beamed.It could also be Gayle's final ODI series in the Caribbean, so the big man is keen to put on a show.The venue for the first ODI, the Kensington Oval in Barbados, is where Gayle played his most recent List A game, which was his farewell match for Jamaica against Barbados. Gayle had scored a brisk century then and hopes to draw on that confidence."This series against England might be the last time people get to see the 'Universe Boss' on local soil. "The last game I played in Barbados for Jamaica, I got a hundred and it would be nice to continue from where I left off and entertain the home fans as much as possible. "At the end of the day, everybody should be happy and enjoy the game."Looking forward to the World Cup, Gayle expressed his strong desire to win the title for a first time and urged the youngsters in the team to do it for him."Winning the World Cup would be a fairy-tale finish," he said. "The youngsters owe it to me to win. They have to do that for me and try and get me the trophy. "I'll be looking to put my input in as well."ing West Indies beat England in the recent Test series was "one of the greatest things to happen in 10 years", according to Gayle."It was a great Test series. It was fantastic to watch from the sidelines and I think it was one of the greatest things to happen in 10 years."I was the captain for the last home series win against England (in 2009) and to see Jason Holder lifting that trophy 10 years later was fantastic, so hopefully, as a unit, we can get the better of England again in the ODI series," he said.

Tiny nylon, polyester fibres behind unseen plastic pollution

In the oceans, these microscopic plastic pieces become incorporated into plants and animals. Harvested fish carry these particles to market and, when people eat them, they consume microplastic particles as well. Researchers suggest four possible approaches to solving this problem. The first is to minimise the use of synthetic fibres and switch back to natural fibres such as wool, cotton, silk and linen, said Demirel. However, synthetic fibres are less expensive and natural fibres have other environmental costs, such as water and land-use issues. Since much of the microfibre load that ends up in water sources comes from laundering, he suggests aftermarket filters for washing-machine outflow hoses. Clothes dryers have filters that catch lint -- also microfibre waste -- but current, front-loading washing machines usually do not. "Capturing the microplastics at the source is the best filtering option," said Demirel. Bacteria that consume plastics do exist, but are currently at the academic research phase, which takes some time to gain industrial momentum. If bacteria were used on a large scale, they could aid in biodegradation of the fibres or break the fibres down to be reused. While these three options are possible, they do not solve the problem of the tons of synthetic fibres currently used in clothing around the world. Biosynthetic fibres, a fourth option, are both recyclable and biodegradable and could directly substitute for the synthetic fibres. They could also be blended with natural fibres to provide the durability of synthetic fibres but allow the blends to be recycled. Derived from natural proteins, biosynthetic fibers also can be manipulated to have desirable characteristics. Demirel, who developed a biosynthetic fibre composed of proteins similar to silk but inspired by those found in squid ring teeth, suggests that by altering the number of tandem repeats in the sequencing of the proteins, the polymers can be altered to meet a variety of properties. For example, material manufactured from biosynthetic squid ring-teeth proteins, called Squitex, is self-healing. Broken fibres or sections will reattach with water and a little pressure and enhance the mechanical properties of recycled cotton as a blend. Also, because the fibres are organic, they are completely biodegradable as well. Dailyhunthttp://www.tripntale.com/profile/136607

Chandigarh court issues bailable warrant against probe officer for skipping hearing in murder case

He will now have to appear in court at the next hearing on February 28. Inspector Khan was probing the case of a 5-year-old girl whose throat was slit in public view, allegedly by a neighbour at Sanjay Colony, Industrial Area Phase 1, on February 25, 2018. After the crime, the accused — identified as Kamlesh, had been nabbed by the public who handed him over to police. A case of murder was lodged against him on the basis of a complaint filed by the minor's father, which stated that he had reached the spot to find Kamlesh holding down his daughter Ujala down using his legs and then slitting her throat with a sharp weapon. With the help of other passersby, he had overpowered Kamlesh. Ujala was rushed to GMCH-32, where doctors had declared her brought dead. The accused, who is on trial for murder, had stated in court that he was possessed by the 'spirit of a goddess'. Records state that Inspector Khan had been issued summons to appear on February 14, but had sent a request stating his inability to appear, which was disallowed by the court. The court thus issued bailable warrant against him, since his statement as investigating officer were crucial for the case. Dailyhunthttps://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/users/kivonlewisse
