21 Himachal Dams To face Legal Action For Breaching Security Norms

The Himachal Pradesh government has found that 21 out of the 23 dams in the state have violated safety norms, and said it will take action against their managements.

Officials said the lack of monitoring by government agencies is also being blamed for the violations.

"As many as 21 dams have not adhered to the safety norms and legal action will be taken against them," Chief Secretary Prabodh Saxena told PTI on Sunday, adding that officers have been directed to prepare a detailed report on the damage caused due to the negligence of the dam authorities.

The officials said the HP State Electricity Board-operated Larji hydropower project in Mandi and Jateon in Sirmaur, and the HP Power Corporation-run Sawra Kuddu project in Shimla and Sainj in Kullu are among the violators.

There are 23 hydel projects with a total capacity of 9,203 megawatts (MW) in Himachal run by agencies like the National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC), National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (SJVNL) and the Independent Power Producers (IPP). Six more projects of 1,916 MW capacity are under construction.

The officials said only the Kol Dam in Bilaspur and the Karcham Wangtoo project in Kinnaur adhered to the water release guidelines.

Strengthening of the early warning system was stressed after 24 students from Andhra Pradesh were washed away as water from the Larji Dam was discharged without prior warning in 2014, Saxena said.

The flooding in low-lying areas in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh has been attributed to the release of water from the Pong, Pandoh and Malana dams, the officials added.

Chairing a meeting on Friday on safety issues regarding the discharge of water, Saxena maintained that responsibility must also be fixed for the failure of the dam authorities in complying with the relevant provisions of the Dam Safety Act (DSA) and the Central Water Commission (CWC) guidelines of 2015.

"The time for persuasion and dialogues was over and we should not shy away from taking stringent action against the defaulters," he said in a statement then.

The chief secretary stated that the recent crisis in the state downstream of the reservoirs can be attributed towards the failure of the dam safety check, which was either neglected or was not done as per the standard guidelines of the DSA.

He said that there are relevant provisions under the DSA, like setting up of early warning systems, water release guidelines, setting up of control rooms, reservoir maintenance, emergency action plan and better communication between dam sites and powerhouse which must be implemented on the ground.

Underlining the need for risk assessment of the dams on a regular basis and ensuring that dam safety units are functional round-the-clock, the chief secretary pitched for the effective functioning of the state committee on dam safety and state dam safety organisation.

So far 221 people have died in rain-related incidents since the onset of the monsoon on June 24 and about 11,900 houses have been partially or completely damaged, according to the state emergency operation centre.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) August 19, 2023

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held talks with Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and discussed matters of bilateral and regional importance.

The two leaders reiterated their commitment to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, including to realise the full potential of Chabahar Port as a connectivity hub.

"The two leaders reiterated their commitment to further strengthen bilateral cooperation including to realize the full potential of Chabahar Port as a connectivity hub," Prime Minister's Office said in a press release.

PM Modi and Iranian President Raisi discussed cooperation at multilateral forums, including the expansion of BRICS. The two leaders looked forward to their meeting on the margins of the upcoming BRICS Summit set to be held in South Africa from August 22-24.

During the telephone conversation, PM Modi stated that the relationship between Iran and India is underpinned by close historic and civilizational ties.

"Prime Minister highlighted that India- Iran relationship is underpinned by close historic and civilizational connections, including strong people-to-people contacts," Prime Minister's Office said in a press release.

Earlier in July, PM Modi chaired the SCO Summit virtually and said Iran is going to join as a new member of the organization and also welcomed the signing of the Memorandum of Obligation for the SCO membership of Belarus.

"I am happy that today Iran is going to join the SCO family as a new member. For this, I convey my best wishes to President Ebrahim Raisi and the people of Iran. Also, we welcome the signing of the memorandum of obligation for Belarus' SCO membership," PM Modi said at the Summit.

At the SCO Summit, PM Modi said that SCO members can work towards maximizing the utilization of the Chabahar Port following Iran's membership of the SCO, the official press release by Prime Minister's Office said. He further mentioned the importance of better connectivity.

"The International North-South Transport Corridor can serve as a secure and efficient route for landlocked countries in Central Asia to access the Indian Ocean. We should strive to realize its full potential," as per the release.

"Strong connectivity is crucial for the progress of any region. Better connectivity not only enhances mutual trade but also fosters mutual trust. However, in these efforts, it is essential to uphold the basic principles of the SCO charter, particularly respecting the sovereignty and regional integrity of the Member States," the release said.

In September last year, PM Modi held a meeting with Ebrahim Raisi on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Samarkand. The two leaders spoke about the growing friendship between India and Iran.

High Court Reserves Order On Death Penalty To Batla House Encounter Convict

The Delhi High Court Friday reserved its verdict on confirmation of death penalty awarded to Ariz Khan following his conviction in the sensational 2008 Batla House encounter case in which decorated Delhi Police Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma lost his life.

"Arguments have been heard. Judgement reserved," said a bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Amit Sharma after the lawyers for the convict and the State concluded their submissions.

Advocate M S Khan argued that there was nothing to suggest that Ariz Khan can't be reformed.

"If there is a probability, not possibility, that the convict can be reformed, life sentence is the rule. There is a probability of transformation and reformation," he submitted.

Special Public Prosecutor Rajesh Mahajan, representing the government of NCT of Delhi, said killing a uniformed police officer was a "rarest of rare" case which justified the death sentence.

He also placed before the court Ariz Khan's social investigation report and psychological analysis report, and submitted he has "adequate intellectual and cognitive functioning" and his conduct in jail was "unsatisfactory".

Inspector Sharma of the Delhi police's special cell was killed during the encounter between the police and terrorists in Jamia Nagar in south Delhi on September 19, 2008. Two terrorists were also killed in the encounter which took place days after five synchronised bomb explosions rocked the national capital, killing 39 people and wounding 159. Sharma had raided the place while looking for the terrorists responsible for the blasts.

The trial court had on March 8, 2021, convicted Ariz Khan, saying it was duly proved that he and his associates murdered the police official and fired gunshots at him.

On March 15, 2021, it had awarded Khan the capital punishment and also imposed a fine of Rs 11 lakh on him, making it clear that Rs 10 lakh should be immediately released to the family members of Sharma.

Subsequently, the high court received a reference for confirmation of the death sentence awarded by the trial court to Khan.

When a trial court sentences a person to death, its judgement is examined by the high court where arguments are heard for confirmation of the death sentence.

The case documents and trial court judgement reach as death reference to the high court from the trial court.

Ariz Khan, represented by advocate Quasar Khan, also filed an appeal against the trial court verdict which said the offence fell under the "rarest of the rare category" warranting the maximum sentence and he be "hanged by neck" till death.

Besides awarding the death penalty to Ariz Khan, the trial court had also sentenced Indian Mujahideen terrorist Shahzad Ahmed to life imprisonment in the case.

Both convicts had challenged their conviction and sentence in the case.

Shahzad, however, died in jail during the pendency of the appeals and the proceedings against him were abated.

In its judgement, the trial court had termed the act of Ariz Khan of firing on a police team without any provocation as "abhorrent and brutal" and said this itself showed that he was not only a threat to society but also an enemy of the State.

The trial court, which had said the convict on account of his despicable act has forfeited his right to live, held that the offence proved against Ariz Khan was not an ordinary act but a crime against the State, and while committing the offence, he acted like a "dreaded and well-trained terrorist" who does not deserve any leniency.

Ariz Khan had fled from the spot of the offence and was declared a proclaimed offender. He was arrested on February 14, 2018, and faced trial.

The trial court had said it has been proved on record that Ariz Khan, after the shootout, managed to escape and run away from the spot and eluded investigating agencies for almost 10 years despite a coercive process against him.

"Involvement of convict in various blast cases not only in Delhi but also in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and UP, in which hundreds of innocent people were killed and injured, further demonstrates that the convict continues to be a threat to the society and the nation," it had added.

The trial court had said deadly weapons like AK-47 and two pistols were retrieved from the flat where the shootout took place and, considering the nature of devastation that these weapons can cause, it would be safe to conclude that these weapons were kept to indulge in terrorist and anti-social activities.

He was further sentenced to life imprisonment for the offence of an attempt to murder.

The trial court also sentenced him to three years imprisonment for voluntarily obstructing police from discharging their duty, 10 years rigorous imprisonment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to police officials, rigorous imprisonment for two years for assault on a public servant, and three years imprisonment for the offence under section 27 (using arms) of the Arms Act.

After Student Death, Jadavpur University Makes ID Card Must For Night Entry

The Jadavpur University (JU) today made identity cards mandatory for visitors to enter the campus at night and decided to install CCTV cameras at strategic points, including the gates, at the earliest.

The steps were taken a week after the death of a fresher allegedly due to ragging in the wake of widespread allegations about outsiders indulging in inappropriate behaviour in the campus area.

Registrar Snehamanju Basu told reporters that the university has given contracts for installing CCTVs at the different entry and exit points but it will take some time for making them functional.

"CCTVs will be installed at certain strategic points, which will include several entry and exit gates. However, since the electrical engineering department will take a call on the issue of installation with the firm under contract, the entire exercise will take some time," she added.

The state Public Works Department is also associated with any work undertaken by a state-run university.

To a question, Ms Basu said any decision to have CCTVs to cover the entire main hostel compound and campus area cannot be taken now as it can only be vetted by the university's Executive Council (EC), which takes key decisions.

The EC has not been functioning for quite some time in the university which has been without a vice-chancellor for months.

In the wake of reports about entry of day scholars to the university and several hostel campuses after dusk, its authority has decided to strictly monitor them by making identity cards mandatory from 8 pm to 7 am. The identity cards will be issued by the university.

Identity proofs of others who enter the premises will also be screened. Their names, addresses, purpose of visit and the concerned university official whom they wish to meet will have to be spelt out clearly in the register kept with the security person.

Vehicles entering the campus should bear stickers issued by the university.

Meanwhile, members of various student unions ranging from the majority SFI and FETSU to TMCP and ABVP demonstrated separately both within and outside the university campus demanding an end to ragging in the hostels. A strong police force stood by to ensure that there was no untoward incident.

The student unions shouted slogans blaming each other for bringing the situation to such a pass. Hundreds of SFI activists staged protests near the main gate of the university and held the authorities responsible for the death of the 17-year-old under-graduate student of Bengali honours "as the authorities did not do the needful to check ragging in the campus."

They were stopped by the police from proceeding towards the spot where a sit-in protest was held by the Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) on the same issue.

The TMCP alleged that its members, including its JU unit chairperson Rajanya Haldar were manhandled by SFI during a protest.

The ABVP also held a sit-in protest near the gate.

Nine persons, comprising former and current students of JU, were arrested for allegedly ragging and sexually harassing the teenaged Bengali honours student leading to his death after falling from a second-floor balcony of the main hostel building last week. They were remanded in police custody.

The student fell around 11.45 pm on August 9 and died while undergoing treatment at a hospital the next day.

Shocking Video Shows Hammer-Wielding Man Violently Attacking Female Officer In US

A horrifying video has emerged online showing a hammer-wielding man violently attacking a police officer in the US, New York Post reported. The shocking incident happened in Connecticut on August 12, when a female police officer responded to a noise and breaking glass complaint. Detective Karli Travis, who was the first officer to respond to the call, approached the home and noticed a man standing outside, holding a claw hammer. When she asked him to put down the weapon, the man identified as 52-year-old Winston Tate, suddenly charged towards her. 

Camera footage of the attack, released by the Connecticut Office of Inspector General, shows Tate knocking the officer to the ground, forcing her to shoot at him with her handgun several times while desperately screaming at him to stop. 

Here's the video:

Police said that she was ''fighting for her life,'' while Tate repeatedly beat her with the hammer. After firing more shots, police said Tate retreated inside his home, wounded. After a while, backup officers arrived, surrounded his house, and arrested Tate. 

Both of them were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. 

Notably, the 52-year-old is an Army veteran who was honourably discharged after serving in Iraq and has a medication diagnosis related to his military service.

As per Fox News, Tate has a history of violence and had previously targeted other police officers. In 2018, Tate was charged with an assault on an officer.

''This man's disdain for law enforcement could not be drawn more clearly. He is dangerous,'' Prosecutor Christopher Parakilas said. 

He has been charged with criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault, second-degree assault, assault on public safety personnel, and interfering with police.
