The Central Government has appointed seven new members to the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT), giving a partial fillip to the large number of posts of members lying vacant in the Tribunal, owing to which some benches had become non-functional. The move comes when new rules notified by the Central Government for the appointment of AFT members were under challenge before the Punjab and Haryana High Court as they violated certain provisions contained in the AFT Act and also prejudiced the independence of the tribunals. The fresh appointments, however, have been made under provisions of the old rules, sources said. These include two judicial members Justice UC Srivastava for the Lucknow Bench and Justice PS Teji for the Jaipur Bench. Justice Srivastava has served at the Allahabad High Court while Justice Teji has served with the Delhi High Court. The administrative members include two former top officers, each from the Army and the Navy, and one from the Air Force. The Army officers are former General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command, Lt Gen PM Hariz for the Principal Bench at New Delhi and former General Officer Commanding, 12 Corps, Lt Gen Bobby Mathews for the Jaipur Bench. Vice Admiral HCS Bisht, former Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Naval Command, will move to the Chandigarh Bench, while Vice Admiral AR Karve, former Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Naval Command will be head to the Lucknow Bench. Air Marshal SRK Nair, former Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the IAFs Training Command, will take up the post at the Tribunals Kochi Bench. The AFTs mandate is jurisprudence over matters related to the commission, appointments, enrolments and conditions of service in respect of persons subject to the Army Act, the Navy Act, and the Air Force Act, and hear appeals arising out of orders, findings or sentences of courts-martial and disciplinary proceedings. The Tribunal has eight benches located across India that comprise 17 courts. Each court has an administrative member, who should have served as a judge of a high court, and an administrative member, who is a senior retired defence officer. With many posts lying vacant, the Supreme Court had recently stayed the retirement of some members so that work of the Tribunal does not shut down. Members from functional benches also used to go on temporary duty to other benches to hear cases filed there.

In our country, for a government employee training is considered a punishment… An impression has been created that any useless official would be assigned the work of training, he said. The Cabinet approved Mission Karmyogi as the government wanted to give a lot of importance to training activity. There is a need to take it forward, he said. Dubbed as the biggest bureaucratic reform initiative, the scheme was aimed at capacity building to make government employees more creative, proactive, professional and technology-enabled. The Prime Minister said the humane side of the police force in the country came to fore during the coronavirus pandemic and the security personnel did a commendable job. During coronavirus times, Police used to sing songs to create awareness, used to feed the poor and take patients. These scenes were witnessed by people… During the coronavirus, humanity worked through Khaki uniform, he said. He also counselled the new officers—not to be influenced by films like Singham that portrayed super cops, saying some police personnel want to first show-off but miss out on main aspects of policing. Some policemen who join new duty want to first show-off … scare people… And anti-social elements should shiver from hearing my name itself…. after watching films like Singham, it gets over their mind and because of it those works which need to be done get missed out, Modi noted. Replying to one of the cadets from Tamil Nadu on managing stress among police personnel, Modi said farmers also face stress if there was unwanted variation in rainfall. He also noted that yoga and pranayama were great ways to beat the stress. Police stations should be kept clean and neat and also made centres of social trust, Modi said. Asking police personnel to always respect the power of society, he said officers should leverage the inherent strength of the society for achieving citizen friendly objectives. As many as 131 probationers, including 28 women, of the Indian Police Service of 2018 batch successfully completed their training in the academy. Kiran Shruti D V, the best all-round probationer of the batch, led the parade. PTI

Women police personnel can engage with mothers of children in Jammu and Kashmir to prevent the youngsters from taking the wrong path, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, while lavishing praise on the people of the union territory, hit by the menace of terrorism. Addressing the 2018 batch of IPS probationers at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy here through video-conferencing, he also cautioned them not to indulge in wrongdoings and said they would be exposed by the latest technologies, which are also useful in better policing. Responding to a woman probationer, Modi heaped praise on the people of Kashmir, saying they are lovely people and having special ability to learn new things. I am very connected to these people. They treat you with so much love…All of us together, we have to work towards stopping the children from taking a wrong direction. And this can be done by our women police officers efficiently. Our women force can effectively work in educating the mothers and bringing back those children. I am confident if you do that, in the initial stage itself we can prevent our children from getting into the wrong path, Modi said. He was apparently referring to youngsters being radicalised and made to join terror groups in Jammu and Kashmir. The Prime Minister also stressed on constabulary intelligence for effective policing. Nowadays, technology plays an important role in crime detection, be it CCTV footage, mobile tracking…it helps you in a big way. But, the same technology is also responsible for suspension of police personnel nowadays…, Modi warned. The way technology is helpful it is also becoming a cause of musibat (difficulty)…and police are subjected to it more, he added. He further said the police officials need to train people to see how technology can be used to its maximum and in a positive way. Big data, artificial intelligence and social media were the new age technologies which can be used as weapons for better policing. Stressing the importance of training, Modi pointed to the Mission Karmyogi scheme approved by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. Training plays a very important role. In our country, for a government employee training is considered a punishment… An impression has been created that any useless official would be assigned the work of training, he said. The Cabinet approved Mission Karmyogi as the government wanted to give a lot of importance to training activity.

COVID patients in home isolation in Punjab will no longer have to suffer the fear and stigma of social isolation resulting from posters affixed at the entrance of their homes. In a major step towards mitigating the stigma attached to the pandemic, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday rescinded his government’s earlier decision of putting posters outside the houses of COVID patients under home isolation or quarantine. Where posters were already affixed may be removed, he directed. The move is aimed at minimising the stigma resulting from the affixing of such posters at the front doors of such patients, thus also negating the fear of testing, said the Chief Minister, once again appealing to the people to come out for early testing, diagnosis and treatment of COVID. The psychological trauma which patients were seen suffering as a result of these posters, which were meant to protect neighbours and others of such patients, was defeating the very purpose, he said, adding that these posters were actually found scaring people away from testing. The undesirable and unintended consequences of these posters included social isolation and stigma, leading to anxiety and prejudices against the patients. People would refrain from getting tested to avoid this stigma instead of extending support and community to the patients and their families, which had prompted a rethink on the decision of affixing posters, said Captain Amarinder Singh. The Chief Minister urged the people to continue taking all necessary precautions and follow all applicable guidelines for home isolation/quarantine notwithstanding the removal of the posters. Violation of these guidelines is a punishable offence under the Disaster Management Act, Epidemic Diseases Act and IPC, he pointed out. The Chief Minister said his government was committed to ensuring the health and well-being of every person, and the community had an important role to play in this fight. They can do so by providing support, motivating and encouraging behavioral change that can help avoid the transmission of the disease and in preventing any rumours about the disease or its treatment, he said, calling for a collective fight against the pandemic. It may be recalled that the Government of Punjab had recently allowed Home Isolation for asymptomatic/ mildly symptomatic COVID patients, who did not suffer from any co-morbidities, as per the protocol of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and recommendations of ICMR. In fact, as the number of cases in the state continued to rise, home isolation for these patients was actively advocated and facilitated, with constant monitoring by Local Health Authorities. The monitoring was aimed at ensuring the best possible care for such patients in terms of environment, diet etc. and also to make sure that L3/ L2 beds were available for those who needed them. To make the community aware and act as a check on possible violation by the patient of the home isolation guidelines, posters indicating that a positive patient was under home isolation were being affixed on the front door of the house.

Reports have been doing the rounds that Sushant Singh Rajput was allegedly dating his Kedarnath co-star Sara Ali Khan around the time the film released. Now, the caretaker of a farmhouse the late actor owned in Lonavala has claimed Sushant had plans to propose to Sara at the farmhouse in January 2019. Raees, the caretaker of Sushants Lonavala farmhouse from September 2018 till July this year even after his death, however said while speaking to IANS that he is not aware if the proposal that Sushant had in mind was for a wedding. The caretaker added that Sara had been a regular at the place since 2018 but never came to the farmhouse after January 2019. Sara Ali started visiting the farmhouse together with Sushant sir from 2018. They would stay at the farmhouse for three to four days whenever they came. After returning from their Thailand trip in December 2018, Sushant sir and Sara maam came directly to the farmhouse from the airport. They came at around 10 or 11 in the night. They were accompanied by a friend, Raees told IANS. Sara maam was very well-mannered. She didnt behave like an actress. She was so simple. She would address the farmhouses domestic help as maushi (aunty), just as Sushant sir did, and she called me Raees bhai. She was very respectful towards Sushant sirs staff, he recalled about the Kedarnath actress. Quizzed about the relationship between the two stars, Raees claimed that he had heard Sushant was planning to propose to Sara around his birthday on January 21, 2019. However, Raees says he is not sure if it was a wedding proposal or not. I remember Abbas bhai (Sushants friend) told me to pack my bags for a trip to Daman on Sushant sirs birthday in January, 2019. It would always be my responsibility to take care of a car stuffed with his things, like telescope, music system, guitar etc. Wherever Sushant sir used to go, he would carry these things. We would usually carry these things in a mini tempo. Most probably, a programme of the Prime Minister was scheduled to take place around February in Daman. So, all the hotels were full, and we did not get rooms. So, our Daman trip did not happen, Raees recalled. Sushant sir was planning to propose to Sara maam during the Daman trip. He also wanted to give her a gift and had ordered something for her, but the trip didnt happen finally. After that, a trip to Kerala was being planned but that, too, got cancelled. Later, around February or March 2019, I heard that the two had broken up. Sara maam never came to the farmhouse after January 2019, recalled Raees.

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has conveyed to his Chinese counterpart that there should be no doubt about our determination to protect Indias sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Peoples of Liberation Army (PLA) of China was attempting to unilaterally alter the status quo along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), Rajnath Singh said at a meeting with General Wei Fenghe, State Councillor and Defence Minister of China, at Moscow. The meeting ended at 11:50 pm Indian time on Friday. The two delegations of India and China had met at the invite of China on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting. A statement released by the Indian Defence Ministry on Saturday said: The two sides should resolve the ongoing situation and the outstanding issues in the border areas peacefully through dialogue. The Chinese Defence Minister conveyed that the Chinese side, too, desired to resolve the issues peacefully. The two Ministers had frank and in-depth discussions about the developments in the India-China border areas as well as on the India-China relations. The two sides should focus on the overall situation of India-China relations and work together to de-escalate the situation as soon as possible and maintain peace and tranquillity in the India-China border areas, a statement released by the Defence Ministry said. The Chinese Defence Minister suggested that both sides should maintain communication at all levels, including between the two Ministers. Earlier, the Indian delegation laid emphasis on the actions of the Chinese troops, including amassing of a large number of troops, their aggressive behaviour and attempts to unilaterally alter the status quo were in violation of the bilateral agreements and not in keeping with the understandings reached between the special representatives of the two sides. India’s position on the developments along the LAC, including in the Galwan valley, was conveyed and the aggression shown by the PLA was highlighted. The two sides have been locked in deadly standoff since May. General Wei said both sides should scrupulously implement the consensus reached between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi Jinping. Both countries should continue to solve the issues through dialogue and consultation, strictly follow the various bilateral agreements, strengthen the regulation of frontline troops and not undertake any provocative actions that might escalate the situation, General Wei added. Maintenance of peace and tranquillity in the India-China border areas was essential for further development of our bilateral relations and the two sides should not allow differences to become disputes, the Indian statement read. Rajnath Singh asked his counterpart to work with the Indian side for a complete disengagement at the earliest from all friction areas, including Pangong Tso. He also asked for de-escalation in border areas in accordance with the bilateral agreements and protocols on the maintenance of peace and tranquility in border areas, strictly respect and observe the LAC and should not make attempts to unilaterally change status quo.

In a bid to break the deadlock in Ladakh, defence minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to meet his Chinese counterpart, General Wei Fenghe, on Friday evening on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) ministerial in Moscow. This is the first major political contact between India and China since the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) unilaterally changed the status quo on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in May 2020 in east Ladakh. According to people familiar with the developments in Moscow and Delhi, the meeting was arranged at the behest of both sides mutually to find a way out of the current stalemate in Ladakh with both the Indian Army and PLA deployed in full strength to counter each other. That the Ladakh stand-off will be the topic of discussion is evident from the presence of ministry of external affairs joint secretary (East Asia) Naveen Srivastava in Moscow on Friday. Srivastava has held a series of conversations with his Chinese counterpart under the working mechanism for consultation and coordination on India-China border affairs towards disengagement and de-escalation of the PLA in the contested sectors. The meeting between two defence ministers is crucial as Rajnath Singh is number two in the Narendra Modi government and a former BJP president, Gen Wei, a former missile force commander, is a state councillor and member of the all-powerful Central Military Commission. The CMC, headed by chairman President Xi Jinping, controls the PLA.with the President as commander-in-chief. The ministerial-level meeting between India and China comes at a time when PLA and the Indian Army are locked in a tense posture in Ladakh and occupied Aksai Chin with the former trying to impose 1960 claim map (demarcated by a green line) on the ground and the latter clear that its claim line (demarcated by a black line) is the true LAC. While PLA initially had made gains on the ground north of Pangong Tso in May and June, the Indian Army has nullified the dominance by repositioning on the heights overlooking Finger four on the lake and make tactical gains on south banks of the contested lake by pre-empting the Chinese troops.

Gyari Dolma, the first woman contesting for the post of Sikyong, or President of the Central Tibetan Administration Tibets Government in Exile has asked India to abandon its cautious position on Tibet and acknowledge her homelands occupied status. Dolmas nudge to India at a recent webinar came after President Xi Jinpings call to sinicise, or reshape Tibetan Buddhism to bring it in line with the culture of the majority Han community and principles of the Communist Party of China. India must recognise Tibet as an occupied nation and recognise that it shares a border not with China, but with Tibet. India has a legal, international obligation to stand for truth and recognise its relations with Tibet, Dolma said. She was critical of Indias Tibet policy as well, contending that while India has been kind to the Tibetan people, the Indian government had always let its relations with China influence its stand. As the first step, Tibetans have argued India must start calling the China border as the Tibet border. Xis August 29 call at a meeting of the communist party isnt the first time that the Chinese President has called for sinicisation of Tibetan Buddhism. Back in 2015 also, President Xi spoke about sinicising the five major religions practised in China- Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Buddhism and Daoism. This time, it was part of a four-point programme to build an impregnable fortress to maintain stability in Tibet. This is necessary, President Xi told the meeting, to strengthen border defence and frontier security of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) that borders India and Bhutan. One of the tasks that President Xi spelt out at the meeting included educating Tibetans in Lhasa and beyond to strengthen the struggle against splittism. President Xis mention of splittism is seen as a reference to the exiled Tibetan supreme spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, who is frequently accused by communist Beijing of fueling separatism in TAR. President Xis fresh attempt to wipe out Tibetan identity comes around the time the Peoples Liberation Army is engaged in a bitter stand-off with Indian soldiers in Ladakh, the last stronghold of Tibetan Buddhism, and Beijings deteriorating ties with the United States and its South China Sea neighbours.

Room number 115 at a private city hospital has become a cynosure of all eyes. Reason: Braveheart Kusum is receiving treatment here. Just enter the hospital and you dont even have to name Kusum, just say the girl who…, and the hospital staff directs you towards the room where Kusum (fondly called Neha by her parents) is getting treatment for the past four days, after she was attacked by two bike-borne youths by a datar, following which she gave them a tough fight. Such is her admiration, that she has become famous because of her bravery. Kusum has become everyones favourite. Everybody in the hospital knows about her and with bigwigs coming to meet her and interviewers around, Kusum shares: Its a special feeling. Mujhe itne bouquet aur flowers mil gaye hain ki yaad bhi nahee kis kis ne die, she shares. I have been getting several calls on a daily basis from my friends. Even my classmates have dedicated songs and poems for me, she said. On being asked if she was worried about her arm that was attacked with a sharp weapon, the fearless girl replied: I wasnt worried about anything else, but the pain of injection gave me the chills! I did not lose my calm when I was attacked, but I have to admit, when I saw the injection, I was scared. She doesnt want to remember what happened with her that day. Jo ho gaya vo ho gaya, main uske bare mein sochna nahee chahti, achhi baton pe dhyan de rahi hu. (What happened has happened, I dont even want to think about it. I am focusing on only good and positive things), the small wonder expressed. Jatinder Kumar, SHO division number 2, said Avinash Kumar (22), the accused who was arrested, has again been sent to one-day police remand. He is the main accused, who hit the victim with a sharp weapon and her arm was injured badly. He has been charged under Sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 379 B of the IPC. The other accused, identified as Vinod Kumar, is a resident of railway quarters. The SHO said his parents were no more and he doesnt stay at one place and keeps on changing location, which is why it was getting difficult for the police to nab him. We have already raided his relatives home, but he wasnt found anywhere, the SHO said, adding that both accused had met in the jail and that is how they started doing snatchings together.
