Potable water in schools, anganwadis must be tested every 15 days: ZP CEO
Mangaluru: The potable water in schools and anganwadis must be tested every 15 days, directed ZP CEO Narwade Vinayak Karbhari. He chaired the district water and sanitation meeting at the ZP conference hall on Wednesday. "Priority should be given to testing the drinking water units in every anganwadi and school in the district. The responsibility for this should be taken by the deputy director of the women and child development department and the school education department. Similarly, the water tanks in anganwadis and schools should be cleaned every three months. He suggested using the watermen from the gram panchayats for this purpose. He also directed that GPS photos be taken and kept in each school for verification during inspections. He also directed district-level officials to review the details of 55 projects under the Jal Jeevan Mission, as the project costs exceeded the tender amounts. This review should be done taluk-wise before granting approval, he said. The meeting was attended by the executive engineer of the rural drinking water department, Jaiprakash, DHO Dr Thimmaiah and joint agriculture director Honnappa Gowda.

CCI approves Dalmia's proposal to acquire Jaiprakash Associates
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday approved the acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL) by Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited, a press statement said. JAL is currently undergoing insolvency resolution proceedings. The CCI's approval for Dalmia's proposal comes ahead of the committee of creditors' (CoC) final decision on selecting a successful bidder. The Adani Group's application for the same acquisition is still under review by the antitrust regulator. 'The proposed combination envisages 100 per cent acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL) by Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited (Acquirer) pursuant to a corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016,' the CCI's press statement said. The CCI added that a detailed order will follow. JAL is engaged in diverse business activities including real estate, cement, hospitality, and engineering, procurement and construction. Dalmia Cement is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dalmia Bharat Limited (DBL), which is the ultimate parent entity of the Dalmia Bharat Group. DBL is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of cement. JAL entered insolvency on 3 June 2024. Besides the Adani and Dalmia groups, Vedanta Group, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL), and PNC Infratech have also submitted resolution plans for the beleaguered conglomerate. After the last meeting with bidders, lenders had asked all resolution applicants to submit revised resolution plans without any conditionalities and with a definitive bid amount, according to sources. Most bids remain contingent on the outcome of a key legal case concerning Jaiprakash's 1,000-hectare Sports City project in Greater Noida. In March, the Allahabad High Court upheld a decision by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) to cancel the land allotment. The matter is currently pending before the Supreme Court. Following a recent Supreme Court ruling, resolution applicants are now expected to secure CCI approval for their plans before seeking approval from the CoC. However, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is expected to amend this provision in the proposed Insolvency and Bankruptcy Bill to clarify that prior permission from the CCI is not required for submitting bids under the CIRP.

India's Most Wanted Criminals Flee To This Country And Extradition Is Nearly Impossible
Last Updated: Indian fugitives like Lawrence Bishnoi's shooter Jaiprakash and Manoj Sahni are escaping to Nepal due to the open border and ineffective extradition treaty, making it a safe haven From underworld hitmen like Lawrence Bishnoi's shooter Jaiprakash and Joga Don to political mafia scions like Asad Ahmed and grizzly criminals like Manoj Sahni alias 'Tomato Killer", what binds them all is not just a shared criminal legacy, but a common escape route – Nepal. Over the past year, Indian intelligence and state police forces have observed a concerning trend. Increasingly, high-profile Indian fugitives have been crossing over into Nepal to evade arrest, and in many cases, to continue operating their syndicates. The open 1,751-kilometre border between India and Nepal, spanning five states, has long been a conduit for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange. But lately, it's being exploited as a corridor to criminal sanctuary. For India's wanted men, Nepal offers both convenience and protection. The border can be crossed without a passport or visa, allowing criminals to melt into Nepalese towns posing as businessmen, traders, or investors. 'We cannot carry arms into Nepal, nor can we put them under technical surveillance once they're across," a senior police officer admitted, highlighting an issue with cross-border enforcement. Nepal has particularly become a refuge for gangsters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, states that share a porous boundary with the neighbouring country. Many wanted individuals simply disappear into Nepalese cities like Birgunj, Janakpur, or even Kathmandu, where they assume new identities, obtain local SIM cards, and reestablish their networks. From logistics to lodging, there's an underground ecosystem in Nepal that supports these men, said officials working with the border intelligence network. Securing an extradition involves a labyrinth of paperwork, including an Interpol Red Corner Notice, followed by diplomatic clearance and local court permissions in Nepal. The bureaucratic drag, often taking months or years, means police forces rarely pursue this route unless the case is of national significance. 'Getting someone back from Nepal can be as difficult as bringing someone back from Pakistan," a retired CBI official remarked. However, he added that, unlike with Pakistan, there's no geopolitical pressure involved with Nepal. Once in Nepal, these fugitives don't just lay low; they reboot. Many start businesses, buy property, or set up fronts through local collaborators. These ventures often double as channels for laundering money or coordinating crimes back in India. Local criminal networks in Nepal also play a crucial role in harbouring these fugitives. From arranging fake documents to legal cover, they offer a support system robust enough to challenge law enforcement. These fugitives find shelter, employment, even legal advice through these networks, said a senior official in the Nepal Police, speaking on condition of anonymity. The fact that they haven't committed crimes here makes it hard for us to intervene unless there's a very strong request from the Indian side, he added. In recent years, diplomatic ties between India and Nepal have cooled, especially after disputes over border maps, political alignment, and Chinese influence in Kathmandu. This frost has had a cascading effect on operational cooperation, including law enforcement. There was a time when Nepalese authorities swiftly handed over criminals like Dawood Ibrahim's aides or Maoist insurgents, often informally. Now, even informal handovers have dwindled, making extradition a rarity rather than a rule. India-Nepal Border Stretching 1,751 km, the India-Nepal border spans five states: Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Sikkim. Uttar Pradesh alone shares 651 km, making it the most vulnerable stretch. Despite 12 main check posts and additional inter-district barriers, movement remains largely unchecked for pedestrians and private vehicles. Even the Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) at Sunauli and Rupaidiha, meant to modernise and secure border transit, are no match for smugglers and fugitives using unofficial paths or bribing their way through. With the rise in cross-border criminal activity, there is growing demand for India and Nepal to revisit their extradition treaty and strengthen mutual cooperation.
