AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi made a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said when a ship sinks, the captain evacuates everyone safely but Gandhi is a captain who himself left on seeing Congress ship sink.

Owaisi’s remarks came during his campaign for a party candidate in Bhiwadi West where he addressed a large gathering.

“When a ship sinks in the middle of a sea, the captain evacuates everyone safely but Gandhi is a captain who himself left after seeing the Congress sinking. Muslims are not alive due to Congress’ mercy on us for 70 years, rather we are alive because of the Constitution and by the grace of God,” said Owaisi.

The AIMIM leader also slammed the BJP-led government even as he panned the Triple Talaq law saying, “The Triple Talaq law is against all the Muslim women. BJP is a long-lasting government which means that this darkness is going to last long.”

Owaisi also said that the government should give reservation to Muslims just as it has given to Marathas.

The metro authority said that the picture was old and that it had been rectified.

Photos of a large crack on the wall of a metro station in Hyderabad surfaced on social media on Thursday, leading to panic after a woman died last month at a metro station. In an appeal to commuters, the Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) said that there was no reason to panic.

Posting an image of the crack, one Twitter user said, “Poor quality of construction of Hyderabad Metro was once again exposed at Prakash Nagar Metro station.”

However, HMRL MD N V S Reddy said that the crack had already been rectified, and asked the general public not to believe the old photos that were circulating on social media.

Some old pictures of surface crack rectification works etc, are being posted and circulated by some persons. As I mentioned, we are closely monitoring the rectification works by L&T and there is no need for pressing the panic button,” Reddy tweeted.

The metro authority said that the picture was old and that it had been rectified.

“At some places, the plaster is thicker, and at such places, the plaster and surface cracks are being removed and rectified by six L&T teams during the night, with boom lifts and other equipment, without obstruction to traffic,” he added.

Last month, the death of a 24-year-old woman who was standing under a metro station had caused wide outrage. Mounika was taking shelter from the rain at the pedestrian zone under the Ameerpet metro station when a chunk of mortar from the station fell on her.

Larsen and Toubro (L&T) had agreed to pay Rs 20 lakh as compensation to the victim’s family, besides another Rs 15 lakh from an insurance company and offered a job to a family member.

The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) also initiated a probe into the incident. Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao ordered an inquiry to check the quality of metro rail structures.

Have not said anything wrong: Rahul Gandhi defends Modis are thieves remark in court

A Surat court has deferred hearing on defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to December 10 for his derogatory remarks against PM Modi. During the hearing, Rahul Gandhi said he did not state anything wrong when he said all thieves share the Modi surname.

HIGHLIGHTS

Rahul Gandhi pleads not guilty in a criminal defamation case
Congress leader accused of defaming entire Modi community with his ‘thieves share Modi surname’ remark
Rahul Gandhi not required to remain present during next hearing on Dec 10

congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday pleaded not guilty in the defamation case filed against him for his all thieves share the Modi surname’ remark.

During the hearing in the case, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told the Surat court that he did not say anything wrong when he said all thieves share the Modi surname.

Chief Judicial Magistrate B H Kapadia had in May issued summons to Gandhi after admitting a complaint filed by local BJP MLA Purnesh Modi under IPC sections 499 and 500, which deal with criminal defamation.

During the last hearing in July, the court had granted Gandhi exemption from personal appearance for that hearing and fixed October 10 as the next date of hearing.

Rahul Gandhi, back in the country, was welcomed by party workers in Surat on Thursday.

What is the case

The court, while admitting the suit, had held that there was a prima facie case of criminal defamation against the Lok Sabha member from Wayanad.

Narendra Modi… how come they all have Modi as common surname?

In his complaint, Purnesh Modi had said the Congress leader had defamed the entire Modi community with his statement. Gujarat Congress president Amit Chavda on Tuesday held a meeting with local party leaders in view of Gandhi’s visit.

To Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Remark On Kashmir, India’s Reply

Moments following Chinese President Xi Jinping said Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan that he was avidly observing the Kashmir condition, India restated on Wednesday that it would be in everybody’s kindest credits if other countries tarried out of its domestic affairs.

“We have seen the news regarding the conference of Chinese President Xi Jinping with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, which also leads to their talks on Kashmir,” told Foreign Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar. “India’s stance has been steady and transparent that Jammu and Kashmir is an indispensable part of India. China is well conscious of our situation. It is not for other countries to talk on the domestic affairs of India.”

China – which requires to be Pakistan’s “all-weather companion” – has strengthened its charges of extensive slaughter in Jammu and Kashmir on global stages ever since the region’s special status was dismissed on August 5. However, Imran Khan was made to reveal last month that his government’s attempts to internationalize the subject had abandoned to make an impact on world leaders.

In his Wednesday meeting, Xi Jinping assured Imran Khan that it would encourage Pakistan on matters relevant to its “core concerns”. State-owned Xinhua News organization also cited him as declaring that although the “right and wrong” of the circumstances were clear, India and Pakistan should resolve the condition through friendly dialogue.

Xi Jinping’s comments seem to have led to some embarrassment, given that he is registered to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Chennai for an intimate summit later this week. “The forthcoming Chennai Informal Summit will give the two leaders with an event to continue their conversations on overarching matters of mutual, regional and global importance, and exchange opinions on expanding India-China Closer Development Partnership,” the government mentioned in a report.

A common report published after Imran Khan’s meeting with Xi Jinping stated that the “Kashmir problem is a discussion left from history, and should be accurately and composedly proposed based on the UN Charter”.

China, the report read, is “paying close consideration to the prevailing situation in Jammu & Kashmir”.

“China denies any one-sided actions that compound the situation. The two sides emphasized that a peaceful, constant, united and prosperous South Asia was in common benefit of all parties. Parties need to resolve conflicts and concerns in the region through conversation on the basis of identity and mutual respect,” the report further said.

Bengaluru Traffic Congestion Could Get Less Painful With Smart AI-Based Signals

The cameras will read traffic density and change signals in a smart manner

Around 35 traffic signals in the city are currently AI-adaptive

Will this solve traffic and vehicular congestion issues in Bengaluru?

The Indian government is slowly embracing artificial intelligence (AI) in many of its public services. The latest to join the club is the Bengaluru police department, which is all set to roll out AI-based traffic signals at most city junctions.

The initiative is expected to tackle the traffic issue, which is currently one of the biggest problems faced by Bengaluru citizens.

According to the additional commissioner of police, traffic, B R Ravikanthe Gowda, AI-enabled cameras will determine traffic density and calculate the time it would take to clear the particular wave of traffic and accordingly manage the signal lights.

A countdown timer in the AI-enabled device could help vehicles save fuel and will manage the changing of signals for smoother movement. At present, around 35 traffic signals are AI-adaptive, according to the traffic police.

While the plan involves setting up similar cameras at all traffic signals in the city, there has been no timeline announced for the same.

Meanwhile, experts feel shifting completely to AI is going to be a tedious process. “The police must regularly reset the signal at each junction. There is something called coordination of signals and they must be in sync. For instance, when the first signal shows green, the next junction should also switch to green so that vehicles move non-stop,” traffic expert M N Sreehari said in a media interview last month (September 22).

after 24-yr-old hyd woman’s death, L&T forms teams to inspect metro structure

Mounika was killed on September 22 after a piece of concrete fell on her head at the Ameerpet metro station.

In the aftermath of an incident that killed a 24-year-old woman at a metro station in Hyderabad after a portion of the concrete wall collapsed on her, the L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Limited has constituted six engineering teams to carry on repair works at metro stations in Hyderabad.

Mounika Reddy was killed after a sharp edge of a plaster piece fell on her from a height of nine metres while she was taking shelter from the rains at the Ameerpet station on September 22. Following reports that pointed out substandard quality of items used, Municipal Administration and Urban Development minister KT Rama Rao had ordered an inquiry to check the quality of the metro rail structure.

The quality checks made by six special engineering teams till date have rectified non-structural cracks, surface plaster peel-offs, concrete chip-offs, loose concrete pieces and loose coping stones at metro stations at Balanagar, Parade Grounds, Rasoolpura, Hitec City, Gandhi Bhavan, LB Nagar, Osmania medical college, New market, and Tarnaka.

In a press release issued by the HMRL on Tuesday, NVS Reddy, managing director, HMRL, said, “As directed by MA&UD minister K. T. Rama Rao, I am closely monitoring identification and rectification of repair works of all metro stations and other structures. L&T formed six special engineering teams equipped with boom lifts, floodlights, etc. While overall position of the structures was found to be safe and satisfactory by experienced engineering teams, not taking chances, even minute non-structural cracks are being rectified.”

On September 22, Mounika Reddy and her cousin Lithika had planned to visit a hostel at Ameerpet and had travelled from Kukatpally to Ameerpet by the Hyderabad Metro. Mounika was standing at a pedestrian zone, taking shelter from the rain, when a block of the mortar fell on her head, and she died as she was being taken to a hospital.

After discussions with family members, L&T has offered to pay a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to the family of Mounika.
