CM asks K'pada admn to take strict action against Bangladeshi immigrants
Kendrapada: CM Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday directed the district administration and Kendrapada police to take strict legal action against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh residing in the district during his maiden visit to the coastal district Monday.
During a review meeting, Majhi said local police needs to work in coordination with central agencies to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. "We will identify and take action against all illegal migrants staying in the state without valid documents. It is important for national security," he added.
In March, Majhi had told the assembly that 3,738 Bangladeshi infiltrators have been identified in the state. The highest number of 1,649 illegal Bangladeshi immigrants were found in Kendrapada, followed by 1,112 in Jagatsinghpur, 655 in Malkangiri, 199 in Bhadrak, 106 in Nabarangpur and 17 in Bhubaneswar.
During the meeting, Majhi said Bhitarkanika national park and Gahiramatha marine sanctuary will be developed as eco-tourism hubs to attract more tourists. "Eco-tourism in Bhitarkanika will be a big employment generator, particularly for women and youths, fishermen, boatmen and others. It will reduce poverty, promote socio-economic development and decent work. The forest department will soon start large-scale mangrove plantation programme around Bhitarkanika to regenerate the mangrove forest," said Majhi.

"Assam Pushed Back Over 330 Illegal Infiltrators": Himanta Sarma
Guwahati (Assam): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the state government was responsible for "pushing back" over 330 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators in the last few months and intends to speed up the process. Referring to the Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act of 1950, Mr Sarma said that the attempt to filter out the illegal infiltrators would continue with the help of a special provision (of the Immigrants Act of 1950) that empowers district commissioners to identify and expel them. "In our vigorous fight against illegal infiltration, we draw strength from a special provision, which empowers DCs to identify and expel infiltrators from Assam. We have pushed back over 330 illegal infiltrators in the last few months, and this operation will be expedited in the coming days," Mr Sarma said while addressing a one-day special session of the Assam Assembly. In a veiled attack against Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi, CM Sarma said that the state government has identified 2,600 accounts on social media that write about "Palestine and Assam", operating from Islamabad and Riyadh, and welcome a particular leader from the state. He said that he would reveal information regarding such accounts to the press in the coming days. "We have found around 2,600 Facebook accounts that write only about Palestine and Assam. They are operated from Islamabad, Riyadh and Saudi Arabia. They don't even welcome Rahul Gandhi, but welcome a particular leader of Assam. I have documents, and within 10-12 days, I will provide some such account information to the press," he said. Moreover, Mr Sarma asserted that his identity as an Assamese comes before his post as the Chief Minister. "I am an Assamese first and Chief Minister later, and all my actions will reflect that. In our journey of safeguarding the interests of Assam, we do not dither in taking inspiration from former CMs," he said. The Immigrants (Expulsion from Assam) Act of 1950 empowers the government to expel illegal immigrants from Assam, specifying procedures to identify and expel them. The act gives the power to order the expulsion of immigrants whose stay in Assam is "detrimental to the interests of the general public."

8-yr RI for man who raped woman with schizophrenia in '18
Mumbai: Observing that he exploited the vulnerability of a stranded woman with schizophrenia after she accepted a lift from him, a sessions court sentenced a 38-year-old Dahisar man to eight years of rigorous imprisonment for her rape and physical assault in 2018. T he court noted that the crime committed by Pradeep Tiwari would have traumatised the woman, "especially as she is a patient of paranoid schizophrenia". But it gave him just a year more than the minimum sentence of seven years—the crime attracts a maximum punishment of life imprisonment—reasoning that he had a family, he could be reformed, and he was unaware at the time of raping the woman that she had schizophrenia. "The manner in which the offence was committed has also not been proved to have been brutal in the extreme so as to make the accused liable for the maximum punishment prescribed," said additional sessions judge S J Ansari, who also fined Tiwari Rs 41,000. The time spent by Tiwari in prison since his arrest on Feb 23, 2018, will be set off against his sentence. Forensic evidence played a crucial role in his conviction. DNA analysis of semen stains found on the woman's undergarment matched the DNA profile obtained from Tiwari's blood samples. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The judge noted that the woman's deposition remained unshaken during cross-examination, and her account was corroborated by medical evidence and the forensic report. The woman had left a lodge in Vasai after an altercation with an acquaintance early on Jan 13, 2018. She took an auto for Dahisar station but was dropped midway. She accepted a lift from Tiwari, who was on a bike. He took her to a secluded building, assaulted her with a stone and raped her. He later left her at a tea stall, from where she returned home and confided in her mother.

Mau's MP-MLA court to hear Ansari plea today
1 2 Varanasi: Disqualified MLA Abbas Ansari's appeal against his sentencing in the 'Hisab kitab' hate speech episode by the CJM (MP-MLA) court was filed before the session court of Mau district on Monday. Ansari's advocate Daroga Singh said that the appeal was moved before the sessions court on Monday, which transferred the case to the court of ADJ (MP-MLA) Rajiv Vats where the hearing will take place on Tuesday. Through this appeal, Ansari challenged the May 31 CJM (MP-MLA) court decision of sentencing him to two years of imprisonment, he added. On the next day of sentencing him by the court, his membership from the state Assembly was terminated. Ansari was sentenced in a case of hate speech lodged against him on March 4, 2022, after his speech delivered at a meeting in the Paharpur area on March 3, 2022, went viral on social media. While contesting the 2022 Assembly polls from the Mau Sadar seat as a Samajwadi Party-Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party alliance candidate, Ansari, in his Paharpur speech on March 3, 2022, stated, "After the formation of the SP-led govt, the officials would have to give 'hisab-kitab' (account) of their work of the past regime before getting transferred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo " Ansari won the election, but he went to jail following his arrest by the Prayagraj unit of the ED in a money laundering case in Feb 2023. He came out of jail last March. The court, in its 48-page judgment, commented, "The accused has a criminal history and several serious criminal records are also associated with his family members. The family of the accused Abbas Ansari has held the Legislative Assembly seat of Mau Sadar for nearly 20 years. During his election campaign, Abbas Ansari gave a speech from the stage threatening to settle scores with state govt officials after the elections, which could have disrupted communal harmony. Therefore, it does not seem appropriate to give a lesser punishment to the accused."
