Truck tiff tells on Jamai Shasthi plans
Since Tuesday, we have been receiving about half of the usual consignments. The truck operators are protesting against police extortion," said a vegetable stockiest in Durgapur town.The situation worsened after fish and vegetable traders at Benachity, one of the major markets in the town, went on an indefinite strike alleging police atrocities in the name of raids. They have demanded the withdrawal of a suo motu case the police have lodged against them for allegedly beating up an officer and two civic police personnel on Monday."We have closed all shops at the fish-and-vegetable market at Benachity and will continue the shutdown till the police withdraw cases against five of us and stop harassing us in the name of raids," said Prakash Srivastav, a fish trader.The stand-off has made people in Durgapur anxious as the practice among many is to buy fish and vegetables in advance as prices increase on the eve of Jamai Shasthi. Also, many are worried that the crisis in the markets could tell on the Jamai Shasthi menu."I had gone to the market to buy Hilsa as it is my son-in-law's favourite, but it was not available," said Pradip Dutta, a bank employee.Trouble started on early Monday after a police team patrolling NH2 allegedly chased and intercepted a truck ferrying fish from East Midnapore after the driver refused to shell out Rs 500 as bribe. An assistant sub-inspector, Sailen Mandal, and two civic police personnel allegedly hit driver Sudhangshu Rauth with belts.A group of traders rescued Rauth and allegedly assaulted the policemen.The police suspended the accused ASI and the two civic police personnel on Tuesday and registered a suo motu case against five traders.

Japan PM Shinzo Abe to visit Iran next week
As tensions intensify between Iran and Japan's key ally the United States, Abe has reportedly proposed serving as a go-between by directly holding talks with Iran's key leaders. During his state visit to Tokyo in late May, US President Donald Trump said he remained open to talks with Tehran, appearing to give the green light to Abe's plan. Abe told a news conference with Trump: "By closely cooperating between Japan and the US, I would like to help ease the current tension surrounding the Iranian situation." Japan and Iran have maintained a good relationship as resource-poor Japan relies heavily on imports of oil from the Middle East, though crude from Iran accounted for just 5.3 per cent of the country's total imports last year. On the other hand, Iranian and US leaders have ratcheted up barbs and insults ever since Trump was elected as president in 2016. Living up to his campaign promises, Trump withdrew the US in May 2018 from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major world powers and reimposed sanctions. The war of words intensified after Iran's revolutionary guards were designated a "terrorist organisation", with Tehran hitting back by declaring the US a "state sponsor of terrorism" and Washington's forces in the region "terrorist groups". Fears the war of words could flare into a military clash escalated when Washington dispatched the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group, an amphibious assault ship, a Patriot missile battery and B-52 bombers to the region. ...

'Oi Trump': Teenager mows giant phallus on lawn to troll Trump ahead of UK visit
Adding to that, he also mowed a giant polar bear along with the text 'climate change is real' written next to it. According to the news website, the 18-year-old hoped that the US president spots his work while approaching the Stansted Airport in Air Force One. 'Donald Trump and his denial of climate change are not welcome and I want him to be fully aware of that when he flies into Stansted on Monday,' he told the media company. Did Donald Trump fist bump the Queen? Netizens think so Nancarrow, who is the founder of Born Eco, a website that connects shoppers and eco-friendly traders, tweeted pictures of his creation along with a caption that read, 'Give us a wave when you fly over tomorrow!!' while tagging the official Twitter handle of the US president.
Give us a wave when you fly over tomorrow !! @realDonaldTrump

Kangana to add a few kilos to essay Jayalalithaa
'We have also appointed a Tamil teacher for her to learn the language. The story begins from Jaya madam's first film in Kannada Chinnada Kombe when she was 16. It will focus on how Jayalalithaa Amma reigned supreme in a male-dominated world. Her knowledge, wisdom and intelligence were incomparable which made her the Iron Lady that she was. That was my main inspiration to make a biopic on her,' he explained. The Devi director admits that it was his biggest blessing to work with a legend like Vijayendra Prasad, who also wrote the screenplay of Kangana's earlier film Manikarnika. 'It gives me immense happiness to work under Vijayendra Prasad's supervision for Thalaivi.' Ask him if Sai Pallavi has been roped in to play Sasikala and he denies, 'No, not at all! Except Kangana, we have not finalised anyone in the cast. The process is still going on. We have brought on board GV Prakash for music and he has already started working on the compositions.' ...

Armyman dupes job-seekers of lakhs
ccording to the ratings for the third week of May, the air quality index at Byrnihat was 128 while at Umïam it was 108.On World Environment Day here on Wednesday, board chairman and principal chief conservator of forests C.P. Marak told The Telegraph that the board has formulated an action plan to tackle the air pollution emanating from the Byrnihat industrial area. "But this (action plan) needs to be fine tuned. We will require inputs from Assam. For that, we intend to call a meeting within this month of officials of the pollution control boards and from other departments. We aim to bring the air quality rating from moderate to satisfactory level," Marak said.He said the Assam government's cooperation was required as many industries have come up on the other side of the border.On whether vehicular traffic here was affecting the air quality, he said that people living in the hill areas and where the forest cover is very high have an advantage as the forest offsets the emissions."It is all the more important for us in Meghalaya or an urban area like Shillong to ensure that the green cover is kept in perpetuity. Wherever there is a blank space, we can increase the green cover and wherever it is already green, we can increase the quality of the forests so that the carbon dioxide is absorbed and we get oxygen in return," Marak added. He said Meghalaya has both forest and tree cover of nearly 80 per cent.1.5 million saplingsMeghalaya has planted 1.5 million saplings on a single day. Announcing this on Wednesday, chief minister Conrad K. Sangma wrote on his official Twitter handle: "Happy to announce that #Meghalaya planted today 1.5 million trees. Thank you citizens and all officials and stakeholders for your pledge and support for #OneCitizenOneTree campaign."Earlier, he planted saplings at Lyngkyrdem village in East Khasi Hills district, over 40km from here. Conrad pledged to continue plantation of saplings and "take care of my tree."Earlier, the government had announced planting of one million saplings in about 306 spring sheds across the state. Another 460,000 saplings were to be planted in villages located under 46 community and rural development blocks. The mega plantation drive is part of the "Meghalaya one citizen one tree" campaign.Plantation in the springsheds is a Rs 4.11-crore project under the National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change (NAFCC) as part of the initiative to protect vulnerable springs and rejuvenate their catchments/recharge areas.The project aims to address the challenges and threats to the springs and ensure sustained yield and availability, especially during the dry months. Waterways in Meghalaya are rain-fed and sources of water in rivers and streams are the feeder springs.The initiative to plant saplings is expected to ensure that the catchments of these springs are revived and water discharge from such springs improves.Health minister A.L. Hek, however, has sounded a word of caution. He said the saplings need to be nurtured till they become trees. "We are all concerned about environment and climate change, but we, as citizens, are responsible for emitting carbon dioxide. While we plant saplings, we must ensure that we nurture them as well," Hek said.The principal chief conservator of forests, Meghalaya, C.P. Marak, said nearly two years back the state's forest and environment department had commissioned a study on carbon footprint in the state."The findings say that we have the lowest carbon footprint in the country," he said.
