Politicizing the military is an inglorious practice

She was reportedly raped, forced to write a suicide note and then murdered. Neither the prime minister, nor Rahul Gandhi, nor the media have time for this issue. Should such incidents not receive as much importance as the December 2012 gang-rape case did? A strikingly similar incident took place in Bangladesh recently. This shows that the world in unsafe for women. If this is to change, the media will have to focus on such issues. Only then can the perpetrators be brought to book.Arundhati DasCalcutta Sir - The letter written by over 150 veterans of the armed forces to the president, Ram Nath Kovind, requesting him to stop the politicization of the armed forces is timely ("Veterans' appeal: Don't politicise military", April 13). The veterans want the president, the supreme commander of the armed forces, to ensure that political parties do not use the army, it actions, achievements or symbols for electoral gains. Although the letter does not mention any political party, it is clear that the concern is regarding some recent comments made by the prime minister and other top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party.The response of the defence minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, was to dub this letter as 'fake'. This shows that the leaders of the BJP are not going to desist from the devious path that they have embarked on. The party may or may not gain from this, but the nation will definitely suffer as a result of such deplorable behaviour.Shovanlal ChakrabortyCalcuttaSir - It is heartening to note that the efforts of the BJP to describe the letter to the president signed by retired army personnel as 'fake' proved to be a non-starter. Among those who chose to stand by the letter were the former army chief, General Shankar Roy Chowdhury, and the former navy chief, Admiral Sureesh Mehta. The armed forces serve the country and not political parties. A single party claiming credit for the army's valiant efforts is unfortunate. Similarly, the description of the army as "Modiji ki sena" is unwarranted. Politicizing the army for electoral gains should be stopped at once.Debasish ChatterjeeCalcuttaSir - In an unprecedented move, more than 150 veterans of the armed forces wrote a letter to the president, expressing their "alarm and disquiet" at political leaders taking credit for military operations like cross-border strikes in order to advance their electoral fortunes. Although the letter does not take names, it is obvious that such a brazen politicization of the armed forces is carried out by none other than the BJP leadership, including the prime minister of India. A BJP chief minister went to the extent of calling the army, "Modiji ki sena". The prime minister himself is missing no opportunity to take credit for the Balakot air strikes. He even exhorted first-time voters to dedicate their votes to the jawans who carried out the Balakot strikes. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing the veterans to seek the president's intervention to prevent politicians from dragging the armed forces into the electoral slugfest.S.K. ChoudhuryBangaloreSpeedy enquirySir - A junior court assistant, who had been dismissed on charges of bribery and insubordination last year, has levelled a grave allegation against the Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi. There has never been any reason to question the integrity of Gogoi. He has been part of benches that have delivered some landmark judgments. More important, he will probably preside over some sensitive cases in the near future. These might have hurt vested interests. One cannot dismiss the possibility that the allegations are part of a conspiracy against him. Nevertheless, a serious allegation like that of sexual assault must be thoroughly probed and speedily resolved.Sukhamay BiswasCalcuttaSir - It takes tremendous courage to level charges against the topmost judge in the country. The complaint of sexual assault against the CJI should thus not be neglected on the grounds that it may be a conspiracy. No one is above the law. Although the judicial process of this case may be complex, no stone should be left unturned to uncover the truth.Chanchal NandyWest Burdwan DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Immunisation in India and the women behind it

In 1985, the programme was modified as 'Universal Immunization Programme' (UIP) to be implemented in phases, in order to cover all districts in the country by 1989-90, making it one of largest health programmes in the world. Despite being operational for many years, UIP was only able to fully immunise 65 per cent children in the first year of their life. To strengthen and re-energise the programme and achieve full immunisation coverage for all children and pregnant women at a rapid pace, GoI launched 'Mission Indradhanush' (MI) in December 2014. MI aims to cover all those children by 2020 who are either unvaccinated, or are partially vaccinated against vaccine preventable diseases, in both urban and rural areas. The programme provides life-saving vaccines to all children across the country free of cost to protect them against tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B, pneumonia, meningitis, measles and rubella, Japanese encephalitis and rotavirus diarrhea in select states and districts. With the Mission currently in full swing,there is emphasis on reaching out to the most distant communities and settlements in the far-flung regions of many states. One such inspiring story to deliver immunisation, to areaswhere even GPS and mobile networks do not function and basic communicationis a challenge, is that of Alirajpur, Madhya Pradesh. Located in the backwater zone of the Narmada river makes it extremely challenging for the health workers to access this region, which is only possible by a boat ambulance called 'Janani Express'. The Express provides regular healthcare services to the tribal dwellers of the villages nestled in these hilly areas, immunising mothers and children. Many villages of Sondwa region in Alirajpur have also been declared as flood affected and in spite of these extreme weather conditions the implementation of the immunisation programme during MI was smoothly carried out under the leadership of young and enthusiastic Dr Narendra Bhaydia, the District Immunisation Officer (DIO), Alirajpur. During the Mission, to ensure that no child was left unvaccinated, the block level officials also accompanied the health workers to the immunisation sessions. For almost 20 years, auxiliary nurse midwifery(ANM) worker Preskila Parmar has been serving this area single-handedly. Responsible for providing life-saving interventions, she administers vaccines religiously to over 5,000 people in the five villages that she covers. Parmar travels on foot around the housing clusters, each of them several kilometers apart, since there are no roads or other form of transport available in the region. Women health leaders Women in India not only play a pivotal role as ANM and ASHA workers at the grassroots level, they also passionately administer public healthcare as officials. Having worked in the government health care sector for over a decade in various capacities, Mallika Medhi, Additional Secretary cum Director of Health Services (Family Welfare), Government of Assam, is one such example. 'With the support of my team, Assam has achieved accelerated immunisation coverage from 47.1 per cent to more than 90 per cent and the highest coverage during the Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI),' she shares. An avid gardener and reader, she feelsstrongly about addressing the issue of women's reproductive health in India, especially in adolescent and young women, as many women do become young mothers in India even before they turn 25. Uttar Pradesh has been a high priority state under MI, with 12 high focus districts including Bareilly, which had high rate of drop out and left out children. In the recently concluded measles-rubella vaccination campaign in Uttar Pradesh, Bareilly district achieved 99.9 per cent immunisation coverage, without any negative feedback or casualties, due to the dedication and drive of Dr Deepa Singh. The target set by the government was difficult, with 17 lakh unimmunised or partially immunised children, but Dr Singh, DIO, Bareilly, has been successfully leading the vaccination campaigns for the past two years.'The first challenge we faced was that many parents were scared and sceptical about vaccination. Gradually, we removedthe fear from their minds and convinced them. We worked for 14 hours and I feel lucky to have had a dedicated team and partners agencies like WHO and UNICEF, who were also very helpful,' she shares. 'When women take leadership roles, there is a sense of fear and doubt of whether they'll be able to accomplish the goals or not. With every achievement, I've proved that women are not only capable of taking on difficult roles but emerging out as leaders also,'she added. Talking about breaking gender stereotypes and patriarchal mindset that holds women back, another woman public healthcare official who had done exceedingly is well is Vandana Gurnani, Joint Secretary, MoHFW. Responsible for introduction of new vaccines like rotavirus, MR and PCV in the national immunization programme and developing a roadmap for a complete 90 per cent immunisation coverage across all states, Gurnani has successfully achieved 18.5 per cent increase in full immunisation coverage under her guidance and implementation of IMI, as per the latest Coverage Evaluation Survey 2018. Steering the course of the Mission in Himachal Pradesh is Mangala Sood, State Immunisation Officer, who was able to overcome vaccine resistance in many pockets of the region. She delivered immunisation to the diverse population scattered across the difficult terrain of the state, including many inaccessible areas, even blocks that are inaccessible for 5-6 months a year due to climatic conditions. Under her leadership, the full immunisation coverage of the state is now more than 95 per cent as per the Health Management Information System. ...

Integrated solid waste plant yet to take off in Sambalpur

But the plant is yet to take off. At present, garbage generated from Sambalpur is being dumped at temporary dumping yard in Durgapalli along Mahanadi river. The spot has turned into a menace for the people of the area. With tonnes of unsegregated solid waste heaped across a large patch of land, smoke emanating from burning garbage mound throughout the day is a common sight for the residents. Stray cattle are found feeding on these wastes. While burning garbage causes air pollution, burnt residues contaminate Mahanadi river water. Akash Debata, a regular commuter on the route, said stray cattle sustain injuries while grazing near the burning piles as they encounter minor blasts. Environmentalist and Mahanadi River Waterkeeper Ranjan Panda said, "The open dumping of toxic garbage also causes contamination of groundwater. Burning of these garbage aggravates the problem." Though Panda has approached the administration on many occasions urging them to look into the problem, the menace continues. Deputy Commissioner in-charge of SMC Subhankar Mohanty said garbage is being dumped temporarily at Durgapalli and lifted every second day to another site. The dumping yard project was cancelled as clearance was not given by the Government. Garbage piles are lit up by rag pickers. Though they have been prohibited from doing so by SMC several times, they set ablaze the heaps during night, he added. To resolve the issue, the civic body is setting up decentralised compost plants across the city. Work on three plants is going on in full swing and it is likely to take a few more years to be operational, he said. As a temporary measure, Panda suggested that the civic body should go for sanitary landfills and segregation of garbage at doorsteps and also recycling.

Tips for creating the perfect wedding hashtag

Fifty-four per cent of couples create a wedding hashtag, according to WeddingWire's 2018 Newlywed Report, and one in four views photos on social media immediately after the reception. 'Hashtags allow you to be able to see your wedding photos in real time,' said Jeffra Trumpower, the creative director at WeddingWire. 'We're living in an era of instant gratification.' Creating a hashtag has become a core step in the wedding-planning process, said Kari Dirksen, the owner and lead planner at Feathered Arrow Events, a Los Angeles-based wedding and events planning business. 'I'd say 90 per cent of my clients incorporate a hashtag into their wedding,' she said. With so many hashtags from which to choose, couples may feel pressure to create something clever and distinctive. Some may even hire professional hashtag writers. Marielle Wakim, the founder of HappilyEverHashtagged.com, started her business in 2016. 'I went to 14 weddings that year, and almost every couple asked me for help coming up with their wedding hashtag,' said Wakim, who is also an editor at Los Angeles Magazine. 'I write puns for a lot of our magazine's headlines, so I had the right experience.' Wakim offers three price packages: one hashtag for $50, three for $95, and $125 for five. 'A lot of couples want options,' she said. Need help crafting your own hashtag? Here are some tips to ensure your hashtag isn't an #epicfail. Put your skills to the test 'Puns are the lifeblood of hashtag writing,' said Christopher Shelley, a hashtag writer at the Wedding Hashers (which charges $20 for three hashtags) and a wedding officiant. A natural starting point is to think about creative ways to incorporate your last name. For instance, Wakim created this hashtag for Tres Penny and Katie Smith: #PennyFoundHisDime. She also created the hashtag #HopelessRahmantics for Shabnam Mahmood and Rezwan Rahman. If you're stumped for ideas, Shelley recommends grabbing a thesaurus and jotting down words that sound like either person's first or last names. For a groom with the last name Hurst, the Wedding Hashers created the hashtag #LoveAtHurstSight. Keep it Simple Though clever hashtags are the most popular, 'not everyone loves puns,' Shelley said. If you're looking for something more straightforward, consider using an alliteration, like #ForeverFong or #FinallyForman, or combining each person's first or last name, like #DebraandAdamAugust2019. Incorporating your wedding's location is another option, like #NelsonsInTheBarn or #TaylorsTakeNYC. Pro tip: Capitalising the first letter of each word will make your hashtag more readable at a glance, Shelley said. Crowdsource for Ideas If you want a lot of options, ask friends on Facebook, Instagram and other social media for hashtag suggestions. You can also solicit ideas from wedding vendors, such as your photographer, wedding planner or caterer. 'I would get as many people involved in the brainstorming process as possible,' Wakim said. Keep it Short A recent poll of WeddingWire's users found that the typical wedding hashtag is 16 characters (not including the #). In Shelley's opinion, the shorter, the better. 'You want a concise hashtag that people can remember easily,' he said. 'Also, the longer your hashtag is, the more likely people are to make a typo.' Avoid Hashtag Generators There are a handful of automated hashtag generators online that will create free hashtags, but they can lead couples to cringeworthy ideas, Shelley said. (To test one of them out, I plugged in my name, Daniel Bortz, and the name of my fiancée, Alexandra Wald. The generator suggested lame ideas such as #AdventuresOfDanielAndAlexandra, #BortzPartyOf2, and #TheDanielAndAlexandraWedding.) Make Sure It's Distinctive The point of creating a wedding hashtag is to have your guests use it when posting photos from your wedding day, which is why Trumpower recommends couples create something distinctive. 'You don't want to compete with someone else's hashtag, because you don't want to be sifting through a ton of other people's photos,' Trumpower said. Once you've created a hashtag you like, do a search on social media to see if it already exists. If it does, Shelley said, adding the date of your wedding, like #LisaandMikeMay012019, could solve this problem. Promote, Promote, Promote Some couples choose to go big. When Mike and Heather Julian got married in Santa Barbara, California, on April 29, 2016, they used oversize magnets to showcase their hashtag, #FinallyTheJulians, on the side of a shuttle bus that transported guests to and from the venue. 'Small signs can be overlooked, but you can't ignore a 6-foot hashtag on the side of a bus,' Heather Julian said. There are a number of other places where you can display your hashtag. Among them: a welcome chalkboard, guest book, ceremony program, cocktail napkins, dinner menus, photo booth props, favors, drink stirrers and table number signs. Dirksen also recommends couples promote their hashtag on their save-the-date mailings, wedding website or at pre-wedding events likes the bridal shower.

The big baddies of the comic world

He was reportedly inspired by Malcolm McDowell's mannerisms in A Clockwork Orange (1971), the Stanley Kubrick-directed masterpiece. The Joker's quirky character and crimes are based on the concept of fun, even though that fun may be sinister and dark. The Joker is intelligent, diabolical and sadistic and even when he gets caught and imprisoned, he remains calm, knowing he has the upper hand. Magneto "They wish to cure us. But I say to you we are the cure! The cure for that infirm, imperfect condition called "Homo sapiens!" They have their weapons. we have ours. We will strike with a vengeance and a fury that this world has never witnessed. And if any mutants stand in our way, we will use this poison against them!"Best portrayal: Ian McKellen, X-Men seriesSuperpowers: The ability to generate and control magnetic fieldsMagneto's character, like many others in the superhero world, is not etched out in black and white. His actions are dictated by the suffering he experienced as an adolescent during the Holocaust at Auschwit. It would be wrong to call Magneto insane, in the sense of not being criminally responsible. Films have tried to portray Magneto as a man who believes that direct action will save his people from annihilation, a sort of dark counterpart to Xavier (played by Patrick Stewart) who believes good examples and dialogue will save mutants. He regards mutants as superior to humans in terms of evolution and is against the idea of peaceful human-mutant co-existence. Loki"I ask only one thing in return, a good seat from which to watch Asgard burn".Best portrayal: Tom Hiddleston, Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018)Superpowers: Magic, energy projection and creation of force fields - Loki can do it all. To many, he is morally grey at best. Loki is a complex character but that doesn't necessarily make him a dangerous enemy. Within the MCU, he is looked at as a troubled but charismatic personality who is capable of deception. Loki's motivations, while extreme, are nuanced and complicated. There has never been anyone quite in the same league as this supervillain. He is human, with complex motives and methods that are evil, immoral, and unethical, but still understandable. They are the most hated people. We love to see them getting bashed up, but they have clearly evolved. From being the stereotypical bad guys, they are now giving their superhero nemeses a run for their money. With plots being tweaked around them, some supervillains now have a cult following, rubbing shoulders with superheroes in terms of sheer popularity. t2 lists some iconic supervillains that power some of the biggest superhero franchises.Bane "Ah, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me! I will show you where I have made my home while preparing to bring justice. Then I will break you".Best portrayal: Tom Hardy, The Dark Knight Rises (2012)Superpowers: He uses the super-steroid known as Venom to enhance his physical attributes to superhuman levels. Bane is smart enough to rival Batman. He had to learn to fight to survive, scoring his first kill at the age of 12. Bane is a driven and intelligent yet logical villain, who challenges Batman as well as tests him. He is a tricky character and though he's a genius, he's often presented as a brute. Even The Dark Knight Rises doesn't quite get Bane right, but it comes close in what is clearly director Nolan's take. Bane is the only Batman villain to ever defeat the caped crusader and is, in almost every way, a perfect foil to Batman. Thanos"Going to bed hungry, scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I was the one who stopped that. You know what's happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It's a paradise".Best portrayal: Josh Brolin, Avengers: Infinity War (2018)Superpowers: Can project cosmic energy, is capable of telekinesis and telepathy. According to directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Avengers: Infinity War belongs to Thanos. We couldn't agree more. Josh Brolin played the character to perfection, and in the process, immortalised the villain forever. Very few characters achieve iconic status riding on a single film, but Thanos did it in the "snap of a finger".His greatness lies in the fact that he strikes a chord with many of us. He thinks he is right, but he isn't. He dreams of a universe without suffering but goes to the extent of wiping out half the population (officially the highest body count for any villain, ever). A burgeoning population could put any planet/universe on the brink of extinction, but he chooses to go the wrong way for a right cause. His tragic flaw? Thanos tries to be God.

Baisakhi 2018 Date: When is Baisakhi Festival?

For the Sikh community, this day marks the birth of the Khalsa way of living as well as the formation of the Khalsa Panth under the renowned Guru Gobind Singh in 1699. While for the Hindus, it is believed to be the time when Goddess Ganga descended on earth and in her honour, people gather along the sacred river Ganges for the holy bath. While this occasion has different names, it is more or less celebrated in a similar way by both Hindus and Sikhs. This day is of great importance in the history of Sikhism as well as the Punjab region. In the year of 1699, the ninth Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded on the order of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for refusing to convert to Islam, which prompted the coronation of the Tenth Guru of Sikhs Guru Gobind Singh. Interestingly, on the same day Guru Gobind Singh formed the Khalsa Panth - also known as the Order of the Pure Ones. For this, he picked five Sikh warriors who would go on to defend religious freedom. The Jallianwala Bagh (1919), where thousands of Indians were massacred on the orders of British empire official Colonel Reginald Dyer, also took place on Baisakhi. On the occasion of Baisakhi, Gurdwaras all across India are decorated with lights and other ornamentations. Several satsangs are held and Sikhs visit and bathe in lakes or rivers before visiting the Gurdwaras.

Mother-in-law, Daughter-in-law fight? Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board will play counsellor

This is followed by a week for daughters-in-law where they are counselled on maintaining cordial relations with each other and avoiding ego-clashes, according to a Slum Clearance Board official. However, residents said there were more pressing concerns at hand. At the Navalur resettlement colony, which consists of 2048 houses, many residents were resettled from Annanagar and Aminjikarai areas. With around a 50-kilometre distance between their earlier residences and the site of resettlement, residents are left to find work from scratch. On asked if the decision to conduct the programme stemmed from complaints from residents of constant fights within the family, the official said that it received no such complaints so far. G Banumathi, who attended the Mothers-in-law week told Express, "They asked us what problems we were facing with our daughters-in-law. The situation quickly turned to people complaining about the lack of jobs here at Navalur which forced them to depend on their sons for food and in turn, created problems with their daughters-in-law." Banumathi, who was relocated to Navalur from Annanagar said that she ran a petty shop at both places. However, at Annanagar the number of customers she had was higher and so was her income, she said. "I could stay only for a little while. I had to get back to my shop here because I cannot afford to lose business," she added. The programme is funded under Chennai Rivers Restoration Trust (CRRT) and is conducted with the help of NGOs. "The programme has already been completed in Perumbakkam and now, we have taken it up at Navalur," said a slum clearance board official. Rani, a participant at the daughters-in-law week said, "They asked us to treat our mothers-in-law like our mothers. At our home, we have no such problems, but for some others, the officials there offered to go to their homes and reconcile."

Asian Wrestling Championships: Bajrang Punia bags gold

In the semi-finals, he conceded a point in the first period before notching up a commanding 12-1 Technical Superiority win over Uzbekistan's Sirojiddin Khasanov. Earlier in the day, he accounted for former world junior champion Peyman Biabani and Charles Fern of Sri Lanka. Parveen Rana, however, failed to make it a double delight for India as he went down 0-3 to Teymouri Bahman of Iran in the final of 79 kg and had to settle for the silver. Rana, who also has a bronze from the 2012 Asian Championships, brought forth his robust defence in the semi-finals to thwart the attack of Galymzhan Usserbayev of Kazakhstan on his way to a 3-2 win. The Delhi grappler began his campaign with wins over Yuta Abe of Japan and Tugs Erdene Denzensharav of Mongolia. In 97kg, Satyawart Kadian dominated China's Haobin Gao 8-2 in convincing fashion in the bronze medal play-off to secure his third Asian Championships medal. The 25-year-old, also a 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medallist, made it to the bronze medal bout after his quarter-final conqueror Batzul Ulziisaikhan reached the final. It was heartbreak for Ravi Kumar in the 57kg category. The Under-23 Wrestling World Championships silver medallist had a huge chance of upsetting the 2017 World and Asian champion Yuki Takahashi and led 3-1 in the bronze medal contest only to see the Japanese perform a takedown in the last couple of seconds to get the 5-3 win. Ravi had made it to the bronze medal play-off after beating Chia Tso Liu of Taipei 4-0. Rajneesh (70kg) was the only Indian who was not in contention for any medal on day one of the championships, having made an early exit. On day two, Rahul Aware (61kg), Amit Dhankar (74kg), Deepak Punia (86kg), Vicky (92kg), and Sumit (125kg) will be in action. The six-day gala Asian Wrestling Championships will continue till April 28. India has sent a 30-member squad and will look to improve on their 8-medal tally from last year.

Wipro Consumer Care acquires Splash Corporation

I see tremendous opportunity to further leverage the strengths of our manufacturing, R&D and sourcing for Splash brands. Splash has a strong and stable management team. They have built this business over the years," Agarwal said. Splash brands are also available in Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, West Asia and Nigeria.The company had made several acquisitions in the past. It has a strong brand presence across segments in India, South East Asia, West Asia and Africa. It has 15 manufacturing units in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam apart from R & D facilities in India and Malaysia."This acquisition enables us to grow Wipro brands in the Philippines market by leveraging Splash's distribution strength across market segments. Splash's brands can be expanded further to other international markets where Wipro has a strong footprint and brands have latent equity. Splash brands are not only strong in the Philippines, but also have tremendous equity in multiple international markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Middle East and Nigeria." Nagender Arya, Regional Director (East Asia, Africa and Europe), Wipro Consumer Care observed. Wipro Consumer Care is acquiring Splash Corporation, a personal care company based in the Philippines, for an undisclosed sum.The transaction is expected to strengthen the consumer care portfolio in personal care apart from completing its South East Asian footprint. Splash is the largest Filipino personal care player and is placed among the top five in that market. It recorded revenues of $80 million last year. The company has built well known brands such as SkinWhite - a strong name in body lotions, the exfoliant brand Maxi-peel and Vitress - a leave-on hair conditioner. While they cover a wide spectrum of personal care categories, Wipro Consumer said in a statement they were in leading positions in their respective segments in the country.In November 2012, the board of Wipro had approved the demerger of its consumer care & lighting (including the furniture business), Wipro Infrastructure Engineering (hydraulics & water businesses), and medical diagnostic product & services business into a separate unlisted company called Wipro Enterprises Ltd. The demerger was done with a view to improve their competitiveness in the respective markets and enable them to pursue their own strategies. Some of its brands include Santoor, Chandrika, Yardley and Glucovita. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
