Mamata Banerjee visits flood-affected districts, says Bengal yet to receive relief package from Centre
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited flood affected areas of three districts in north Bengal – Malda, North Dinajpur and South Dinajpur and alleged that while the Centre had extended relief packages to neighbouring flood-affected states such as Assam and Bihar, Bengal was yet to receive any.
“So far 152 persons have died, damage to property has been estimated at Rs 14,000 crore which is likely to rise as water recedes and more damaged roads and bridges are discovered. About 1.5 crore people in the 11 flood-affected districts have been affected in the flood,” Mamata said on Monday. During her visit she stopped at a relief camp and talked to people who had been displaced.
Later interacting with mediapersons she said that the flood situation in Bengal was more because of the overflowing rivers than the rain. “I have been told that dykes at Purnia in Bihar have been broken on purpose to divert water into Bengal. We have complained to the Centre about it. Bengal is like a boat-shape state which is always flooded, be it rain in Bihar or Bengal. I have also heard that the Centre has extended a package of Rs 2,000 crore to flood-affected Assam …read more

Govt plans to abolish physical police verification for passports
The physical police verification for getting a passport will soon be a thing of the past as the government plans to connect the service with a robust national database of crimes and criminals that will check the antecedents of applicants at the click of a mouse.
Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi said the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems Project (CCTNS) is expected to link with the passport service of the Ministry of External Affairs and it will replace physical police verification for passport applicants with online verification in a year.
“Police in some states are already using CCTNS for passport credentials. Police will be given hand held devices to go to an applicant’s address and his or her details will be uploaded with the network. It will minimise contact with police and reduce time,” he told reporters here.
Mehrishi was speaking after Home Minister Rajnath Singh launched a digital police portal under the CCTNS project, which aims to create a national database of crimes and criminals and connect country’s all 15,398 police stations with it. He said with the port, mandate of the CCTNS has been expanded by incorporating citizen centric services tenant verification, which could be done with the consent …read more

A key arrested accused in the alleged multi-crore NGO fraud in Bihar’s Bhagalpur died of illness, police said today, while the opposition RJD questioned the circumstances surrounding his death and demanded a Supreme Court-monitored CBI probe into the “scam”.
As the opposition stepped up attack on him, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has already recommended a probe by the CBI in the scam, asserted that the “culprits will be traced even from ‘patal’ (beneath the earth)” and nobody will be spared.
Mahesh Mandal (57), nazir (an employee dealing with treasury) of Welfare Department, who was under arrest in the scam, died in course of treatment in a hospital late last night in Bhagalpur, Senior Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur, Manoj Kumar said.
His both kidneys were damaged and he was surviving on dialysis, he said.

After his condition deteriorated in Camp jail of Bhagalpur, Mandal was taken to a hospital where he died late last night, the SSP said.

Q. Now that Colonel Purohit has been granted bail, many are speculating if the case against him was weak?
A. After the NIA chargesheet, the court has taken cognizance of three or four things. The NIA itself is criticising the chargesheet and it is riddled with contradictions.

The NIA has filed a supplementary chargesheet, That’s where I read from.

India Inc profits dipped by 15.7 per cent to Rs 87,475 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal, largely owing to destocking of goods by companies before execution of GST regime from July 1, said a report today.
According to an analysis of 2,108 companies by credit rating agency Care Ratings, the corporate net profits stood at about Rs 1.04 lakh crore in April-June period of 2016-17.
Besides, net sales of companies slowed down to 8.7 per cent in the three months ended June 2017, after registering a growth of 9.5 per cent in the same period year-ago.
“During the first quarter of 2017-18, all companies faced the heat of the uncertainties revolving around the implementation of goods and services tax (GST) by the government as most companies were destocking goods before July 1 and operations were impacted quite markedly,” Care Ratings said.
