We are doing this to encourage voters and increase the voting percentage. So far, 31 shops have agreed to our proposal and decided to offer special discounts ranging between 5 per cent and 20 per cent. Voters will have to walk into the shops with which we have a tie-up and show the ink mark on their finger," Kumar told the media.Kumar said Dr S.K. Tiwary of Jeevan Jyoti Health Clinic in Sakchi had announced two days' of free treatment at his clinic under the initiative. People can also undergo health check-ups for free. Tiwary usually charges Rs 500 as consultation fee.Pappu Sardar, who has a snacks corner in Sakchi and shares a good rapport with the businessmen community, said he was personally approaching traders, market committees and shopping malls in Sakchi and Bistupur and persuading them to be a part of this initiative.

Russell's fitness a concern

ut the day was made for Tintu, who has spent several thousands to tattoo his favourite player's image on his body.So, Friday will be about divided loyalties at the Eden: Kohli on one side and home franchise Kolkata Knight Riders on the other. While a victory for the Royal Challengers will provide the much-needed boost to their dipping fortunes, Dinesh Karthik and Co. will hope for a win to climb up in the standings after having dropped to sixth position due to three consecutive defeats.More importantly for the Knights, it is the fitness of Andre Russell that is a cause for worry. The Jamaican star injured his left shoulder during practice on Wednesday and didn't turn up for the match-eve session.The Knight Riders captain, though, made it clear that Russell was in their plans for Friday's match. "He'd got a preliminary X-ray done yesterday (Wednesday) and it's not even been 24 hours. By tomorrow we'll get a better idea as to how he's feeling," Karthik said. The visitors will also be keeping an eye on Russell's availability. The scars of the Chinnaswamy must be fresh in their memories after Russell had initiated a turnaround with a 13-ball 48 not out that singed their hopes.Bowling coach Ashish Nehra, however, tried to put up a brave front. "As a cricketer, I would like to see him playing and our bowlers doing well against him and getting him out. Fans also want to see good cricket. It's not for Russell to hit big sixes every time," Nehra said.In case Russell fails to recover in time, Carlos Brathwaite is likely to take his place in the XI. Russell's absence will surely be felt as the hosts try to overcome the pitfalls of batting first. The Knight Riders, for the record, have failed to defend totals on every occasion and won while chasing targets. Karthik appeared to offer a pragmatic view on the issue."See, I think you have to understand that a lot of the games that were won have all come batting second. The phenomenon has been set in such a way that most targets that have been set have been achieved."Having said that, I'm not going to shy away from the fact that we can definitely bat a little better and ball a little better as well,"Karthik explained.The Royal Challengers, on the other hand, will be encouraged by the inclusion of Dale Steyn. The fast bowler's presence will provide them the extra yard of pace that will be much needed on the hard Eden wicket. In the company of Navdeep Saini, they will be able to provide a good challenge to the Knight Riders.The Royal Challengers' batting hasn't been much of a problem, though, with the likes of Kohli and AB de Villiers being in good touch. De Villiers didn't come for practice on Thursday, but if the pair get going, it will be tough for the hosts to wrest control. The atmosphere and the occasion might just spur them on.But one Andre Russell can alter all equations. No doubt Karthik and Co. will spend the night fretting over his fitness.

Willing to take on Narendra Modi in Varanasi constituency, says Priyanka

Priyanka appealed to vote for the UDF as "the Congress and its allies were engaged in a fight, much bigger than just to gain power.""We're fighting because suddenly in our own country we aren't free to express ourselves. Suddenly people are afraid. The institutions which are there to protect the power of the people have been undermined. So too is democracy. And we must all realise this is not ordinary election. In this, the vote is either to save the country that we all love, the country that we all believe in, in which all of us are equal and are free to express ourselves, our religions, our ways of being, our ways of living, our ways of eating and a country in which rules are imposed on us by a narrow-minded ideology where only one kind of thinking prevails. A country in which a government is afraid of criticism," she said. Priyanka made a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi Government for making false promises to people and ignoring the country's farmers. Responding to the remarks of the BJP on 26/11 Mumbai terror attack martyr Hemant Karkare, Priyanka said she has not understood the saffron party's selectiveness in this matter. "A martyr is always a martyr," she said. Priyanka reached the jawan's residence at 2.30 pm by road from Vythiri, where she was staying. She interacted with Vasantha's mother Santha, wife Sheena, and children Anamika and Amardeep and spent about half-an-hour there. She had her lunch with the family members. Priyanka also met hundreds of party workers waiting outside the residence. Sreedhanya Suresh, the IAS rank holder from the tribal community, was the translator. Rahul had planned to visit the jawan's house, but was denied permission due to security reasons.Priyanka condoled the deaths in the Sri Lanka serial bomb blasts. "People were celebrating a day of happiness, but now they're in immense grief. My condolences to all of them and support to all their families," she said.It was Priyanka's second visit to Wayanad, having accompanied Rahul when he filed his nomination papers on April 4.

SC to Bengal govt: Inform theatres there is no ban on 'Bhobhishyoter Bhoot'

'We are of the view that the Joint Commissioner of Police acted beyond the scope of his legitimate authority in directing the producer to arrange for a private screening of the film for a few senior officers, apprehending that the screening of the film may lead to 'political law and order issues,' the court said. The bench also directed the Mamata Banerjee government to tell the theatre owners that 'the State shall, in compliance with the order passed by this Court on 15 March 2019, take necessary steps for protecting the properties of the theater owners and the safety of the members of the public who wish to view the film'. The apex court asked the Principal Secretary, Department of Home, and Director General of Police to file an affidavit of compliance on or before the next date of hearing and warned that 'we will hold them accountable to ensure compliance with the directions'.

In miraculous escape, bees living on Notre Dame's roof survive inferno

'It's a big day. I am so relieved. I saw satellite photos that showed the three hives didn't burn,' Notre Dame beekeeper Nicolas Geant told The Associated Press on Friday. Geant has overseen the bees since 2013, when three hives were installed on the roof of the stone sacristy that joins the south end of the monument. The aim of these installations was to help the cathedral to preserve biodiversity, as stated in Notre Dame's website, the hives were installed to 'remind people of the beauty of Creation and the responsibility of mankind towards it'. Luckily, the artificial wooden hives weren't caught in the fire and hence it survived, but the beekeeper was worried that the excess heat might have damaged the beeswax and the insects might have perished inside. However, he explained that as bees don't have lungs, the smoke did not affect them adversely. 'Instead of killing them, the CO2 (from smoke) makes them drunk, puts them to sleep,' he explained. European bees, unlike some bee species elsewhere, don't abandon their hives when facing danger but melting wax could have been fatal. 'Wax melts at 63 degrees, if the hive had reached that temperature the wax would have melted and glued the bees together, they would have all perished,' Geant told CNN.
