Today is the 30th of August and here are this week’s headlines.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday announced that the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to create five new districts in the Union Territory of Ladakh. These districts include Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang. According to the official website of the Ladakh administration, two districts made up the Union Territory — Leh and Kargil. Where Leh had six sub-divisions, Kargil had four.
According to records accessed under the Right To Information Act, The Indian Express learnt official scrutiny that lasted nine years till 2019 tracked 1,084 complaints of Government jobs being acquired on fake caste certificates. The RTI records were made available for 59 of the 93 ministries and departments under the Government. Records from the Department of Personnel and Training show, from these cases, 92 personnel were dismissed from service,. These numbers assume significance given the Puja Khedkar case who is in the dock for allegedly presenting dodgy caste and disability certificates to secure a seat in the civil services.
The findings of the Justice Hema Committee and the numerous sexual misconduct allegations that emerged against several male insiders since the panel report’s release have finally led to the collapse of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists as its office bearers submitted mass resignation on Tuesday. While Malayalam superstar Mohanlal stepped down as president of the association, Manorama Online reported, all members of the executive committee have also submitted their joint resignations. Meanwhile, A day after police booked veteran filmmaker Ranjith on charges of sexual misconduct, two more women professionals moved similar complaints against multiple actors, including CPI(M) MLA Mukesh.
West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjee stated that a ‘malicious disinformation campaign’ has been unleashed against her over her speech made on Wednesday at the students rally.” She added, quote “Not uttered a single word against students or their movement, I have spoken against BJP because they are trying to create anarchy.” unquote. Meanwhile, the BJP sat on a dharna near Kolkata’s Esplanade on Thursday. This comes a day after the party called a 12-hour bandh in the state to protest against the alleged police action on protesters during the Nabanna Abhijan.
Amid torrential rains in Gujarat, a runway side wall of the Rajkot International Airport collapsed on Thursday. Rescue operations are underway across the state, where the rain fury has claimed about 35 lives since Monday. The Army and Indian Coast Guard have been evacuating people from flood-affected districts. Meanwhile, after remaining closed for almost two days, the NH 27 which is one of the two lifelines of Kandla and Mundra ports in Kutch has been reopened for vehicular traffic on Thursday morning as floodwaters receded in the area.
