KRCS to utilize local dates, engineering expertise for projects
KUWAIT: A man harvests dates from a palm tree in this file photo. — Photo by Yasser Al-Zayyat KUWAIT: The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) is working with the Kuwait Agricultural Engineers Society on a plan to produce dates locally for overseas relief programs. Under the proposal, agricultural engineers would provide full technical feasibility studies. KRCS chair Khaled Al-Mughamis said the society is 'keen to implement humanitarian and development projects inside and outside Kuwait in various fields, particularly the agricultural sector.' Speaking after meeting association chair Abbas Abdulredha, Al-Mughamis said the Red Crescent wants to 'strengthen cooperation with the association in this field in line with its goals of supporting communities and achieving sustainable development.' Kuwaiti charities have in the past sent locally harvested dates to communities in need abroad, including Syria and Yemen. Those initiatives often coincide with the start of the date harvest season, when farm owners donate part of their crops as zakat. The fruit is collected, packaged and shipped using modern preservation methods, with the aim of supporting low-income families in various countries. Abdulredha said the talks focused on ways to coordinate future humanitarian projects with the Red Crescent. 'These charitable projects include agriculture and fisheries,' he said, noting the engineers' role will be to 'provide technical feasibility studies from all angles.' He said the date production plan was part of that discussion and stressed the association's commitment to using its expertise to serve society and enhance Kuwait's role in charitable and humanitarian work. — Agencies

Rahul Gandhi among leaders detained during protest against India poll panel
Rahul Gandhi among leaders detained during protest against India poll panel Oppn complains of voter list deletions, duplicate entries favoring BJP NEW DELHI: Dozens of Indian opposition leaders were detained in New Delhi on Monday as they shouted slogans, jumped barricades and marched to the Election Commission in a rare public protest against what they say are electoral malpractices. The credibility of elections has rarely been questioned in recent decades in the world's most populous democracy. Some analysts say the opposition accusations could damage Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he navigates one of the toughest periods of his 11 years in office. Around 300 opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi of the main opposition Congress party, marched from parliament to the office of the independent election panel but were stopped by police some distance away. The protesters shouted slogans against the panel and Modi's government, saying elections were being 'stolen', and tried to push past barricades before being detained and taken away in buses. 'This fight is not political. This fight is to save the constitution,' Gandhi told reporters. 'We want a clean, pure voters' list.' Gandhi and Congress have alleged that voters' lists in states where the party lost are corrupted, with voters' names deleted or included more than once to rig elections in favor of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party. Opposition parties have also criticized the election panel's decision to revise the voters' list in the key northern state of Bihar just before state elections due later this year, saying it aims to disenfranchise large numbers of poor voters. The BJP and the Election Commission have rejected the accusations. The commission has said that changes in voters' lists are shared with political parties and all complaints are investigated thoroughly. It has also said that voters' lists need to be revised to remove dead voters or those who have relocated to other parts of the country, among others. Congress and its allies have fared poorly in two state elections that they had expected to win after an impressive show in last year's parliamentary vote, which saw BJP losing its outright majority and remaining in power only with the help of regional parties. Congress has also complained about electronic voting machines and said the counting process is not fair, charges rejected by the election panel. The BJP said opposition parties were trying to create a 'state of anarchy' by sowing seeds of doubt about the electoral process. 'They are in a state of bankruptcy because of their continuous losses,' federal minister Dharmendra Pradhan told reporters on Monday. – Reuters
