Atishi Orders Probe into Asha Kiran Inmate Deaths

August 2, 2024, 2:06 pm

Since January, 14 inmates at Rohini’s Asha Kiran home for the mentally challenged have died, allegedly due to health issues and malnutrition. In response, the Delhi government ordered a magisterial probe on Friday to investigate these lapses. Delhi Minister Atishi has demanded a report within 48 hours and requested measures to prevent future incidents.

Asha Kiran, established in 1989 and run by the Delhi government’s social welfare department, has a capacity of 350 people and has faced several controversies over the years due to inmate deaths.

In her order to Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar, Atishi highlighted reports of the 14 deaths since January, citing health issues and malnutrition, which suggest a lack of necessary facilities for the inmates.

“The government cannot tolerate such lapses if found true,” Atishi stated, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation to improve conditions in such homes. She directed the Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue, to start an immediate magisterial inquiry and submit a report within 48 hours, recommending actions against those responsible and preventive measures for the future.

China’s Chang’e 6 Spacecraft Makes Historic Return With Samples From Moon’s Far Side

June 25, 2024, 5:19 pm

China’s Chang’e 6 spacecraft has achieved a historic milestone by bringing back rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon. Launched on May 3, the Chang’e 6 probe traveled for 53 days to reach the moon, where it drilled into the lunar surface and collected core samples. The spacecraft landed in northern China’s Inner Mongolian region on Tuesday and was hailed as a complete success by Zhang Kejian, Director of the China National Space Administration, during a televised news conference.

The samples collected by Chang’e 6 are expected to include volcanic rock that is around 2.5 million years old, among other materials. These samples could help scientists understand the geological differences between the moon’s near side, which faces the Earth and has flat plains, and the far side, known for its mountains and craters.

Unlike previous missions by the US and Soviet Union that gathered samples from the near side of the moon, Chang’e 6 is the first to successfully bring back samples from the more difficult far side. This accomplishment demonstrates China’s increasing capabilities in space exploration, amid competition primarily led by the US, and involving countries like Japan and India.

Chinese President Xi Jinping praised the Chang’e team, emphasizing how the mission enhances China’s reputation as a leader in space technology. According to Zongyu Yue, a geologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the samples are expected to help answer important questions in lunar science, especially about how the moon’s surface formed differently in various areas.

China has been actively exploring the moon in recent years. The Chang’e 5 mission, for example, collected samples from the moon’s near side. With Chang’e 6, scientists also aim to discover evidence of meteorite impacts that could provide insights into the moon’s history.

Now that the spacecraft has safely returned to Earth, scientists will start examining the samples to understand their geological and chemical makeup. This mission marks a major step for China’s space goals and adds important data to global lunar research.

China’s Chang’e 6 mission has made history by retrieving samples from the far side of the moon, advancing our knowledge of lunar geology and boosting China’s standing in the worldwide space community.

Rajasthan CM Orders Probe Into State Employees Recruitment Over Last 5 Years

June 7, 2024, 3:47 am

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has instructed a comprehensive investigation into the recruitment processes for state employees over the past five years, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to obtaining government jobs.

In an official statement, the government revealed that certain individuals have allegedly secured positions by submitting counterfeit educational documents and employing proxy candidates to take exams on their behalf. This has prompted the state to launch a thorough review of all recruitments conducted during this period.

“The state government has been informed that in the recruitments made across various departments over the past five years, some candidates have obtained government jobs by presenting fake educational qualification documents and using dummy candidates to sit for the exams,” the order states.

It further states, “Given the seriousness of the issue, each department is required to establish an internal committee to determine whether the individual who took the exam and the person employed as a public servant are the same individuals for employees recruited in the past five years.”

Furthermore, a meticulous examination of the recruited employees’ educational qualification documents, application forms submitted during the application process, as well as their photos and signatures, will also be conducted.

“After the investigation, information regarding employees whose recruitments appear suspicious should be forwarded to the SOG,” the order specifies.

According to sources, two persons roaming near the Israel embassy on Tuesday evening have emerged as suspects in the alleged ‘blast’ incident.
“Two persons are seen roaming in the area in CCTV footage. Their role in the ‘blast’ call incident is not yet clear. We are trying to ascertain their identity and what were they doing in the area at the time of the call. Things will become clear only after their questioning,” they said.

Now the police are examining CCTVs of nearby areas to find out as to how the two suspects reached there and which route they took. They are also trying to ascertain the identity of the two suspects.
Delhi police found a letter addressed to the Israeli ambassador near the Israel Embassy on Tuesday evening in connection with the ‘blast’ call.

Police are currently examining the letter and are yet to reveal details.

Delhi Police on Tuesday received a call that a ‘blast’ was heard near the Israel Embassy in the Chanakyapuri area, but officials said that nothing as such was found at the spot of the incident.
The call was received by the Delhi Fire Services at around 6 pm.
Soon, the Delhi police crime unit along with fire services and bomb disposal squad reached the spot. Experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team also reached the spot.”The sound of a blast was heard by a security guard standing there,” FSL sources had said.

A security guard standing near the embassy said, “I heard a loud noise at around 5 pm. The noise was similar to a tyre burst. I also saw smoke going up near a tree.” Sources in the special cell however said that no such blast occurred there.
Meanwhile, security in the area has been increased in the area, and police are monitoring through CCTV cameras.

Bengal govt challenges HC order in Municipality recruitment scam

June 2, 2023, 2:51 pm

The West Bengal government has filed a petition with the Supreme Court, challenging the order of the Calcutta High Court. The High Court had declined to grant a stay on the investigation conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding an alleged municipality recruitment scam. The government’s lawyer, Advocate Sunil Fernandes, requested an urgent listing of the plea before a bench comprising justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and KV Viswanathan. Fernandes argued that the accused individuals require protection, as the investigative agencies continue their proceedings.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta objected to the state government’s plea, questioning how a state could file a petition against an order related to a CBI or ED probe. He suggested that such a plea would be more understandable if it were filed by an accused party. The court decided to hear the matter after the vacation period, setting the date for July 3, and instructed the lawyer to mention it again at that time.

In its petition, the West Bengal government challenged the interim order issued on May 22, 2023, by the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court. The bench had refused to grant interim relief to stay the order passed on April 21 by Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, which was subsequently modified by the judgment dated May 12 issued by Justice Amrita Sinha.

“The Impugned Order while failing to grant stay on the investigation conducted by the CBI and ED relating to the alleged ‘Municipality recruitment scam’, has also proceeded to ignore the law laid down by this Court in a catena of cases,” the plea stated.
