A protest was staged at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences or AIIMS, in Delhi on April 26. The AIIMS nurses union began an "indefinite strike" against the suspension of its president Harish Kumar Kajla. The union called the AIIMS administration "undemocratic" and said that Kajla had been suspended without citing proper reasons.
Meanwhile, the AIIMS administration issued a memorandum stating that no employees or faculty members were allowed to stop work for any reason. Nurses were asked to abide by the code of conduct.
Harish Kajla, who was suspended, said that the entire issue was over the safety of women nurses, who were demanding a change in duty hours. He said, "For the last 1, 1.5 years, safety issues were being highlighted over the shifts of women employees. Their duty hours were ending around 9 pm. There's a rise in crime in Delhi late at night. They used to be worried. They suffered eve-teasing etc at bus stops. They raised this issue with the union. The union sent 2-3 written communications to AIIMS admin that duty hours at AIIMS operation theatres and wards end at 8 pm. But in the main OT area, it ends at 9 pm, and women have been facing safety and security issues. Union sought change in duty hours. We had been requesting for 1, 1.5 years, but it wasn't done."

Any Indian citizen can now buy land in Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh

The Centre has paved the way for people from outside Jammu and Kashmir to buy land in the union territory by amending several laws, over a year after the nullification of Articles 370 and 35A of the Constitution. Before repeal of Article 370 and Article 35-A in August last year, non-residents could not buy any immovable property in J&amp;K. There are several exemptions in the new amendments which enable transfer of agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes, including setting up of educational or health care facilities.

Nitish insulted my father, worked against LJP in 2019 poll: Chirag

PTI, Patna:&nbsp;LJP president Chirag Paswan trashed on Thursday suggestions that he parted ways with Nitish Kumar's JD(U) because of differences over seat-sharing for the Bihar assembly polls, and accused the chief minister of harming the Dalit community by creating a sub-group of Mahadalits.
Paswan said his party had fought the Lok Sabha polls last year in alliance with the JD(U) because of the "compulsions" brought on by the return to the NDA of Kumar, whose party he accused of working against LJP candidates in the general elections in violation of the coalition dharma.
The 37-year-old, who recently lost his father Ram Vilas Paswan, the charismatic LJP founder, also alleged that Kumar had behaved "haughtily" when the late Union minister had called on him last year with the request to accompany him for filing nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha.

Student who accused Chinmayanand of rape turns hostile in court

The LLM student categorically denied in court that she had levelled any allegation against former Union minister Chinmayanand

A 23-year-old law student, who had last year accused former BJP MP Chinmayanand of rape, turned hostile at a hearing in a special court in Lucknow on Tuesday. The LLM student categorically denied that she had levelled any allegation against the former Union minister. The student now faces a perjury charge. 72-year-old Chinmayanand was arrested last year in the rape case, and was granted bail in February. Earlier in her statement to cops and then before a magistrate the woman had accused Chinmayanand&nbsp;of sexually abusing and threatening her.&nbsp;

Lucknow, PTI: In a courtroom twist Tuesday to the high-profile case, a law student who had accused former Union minister Chinmayanand of sexually exploiting her disowned her statements to police and now faces a perjury charge.
Appearing before an MP-MLA court in Lucknow, the LLM student categorically denied that she had levelled any allegation against the former Union minister as the prosecution had charged.
At this, the prosecution immediately moved an application under Section 340 of the CrPC, seeking action against her for perjury.
Judge P K Rai directed his office to register the application and asked the prosecution to furnish a copy of the application to the victim and the accused.
The court fixed October 15 for hearing on the application.
The Allahabad High Court in February this year granted bail to Chinmayanand, whose trust runs the Shahjahanpur law college where the woman studied. He was arrested in September last year.
The case was registered under Section 376-C of the IPC, an offence pertaining to the abuse of one's position by a person in authority to "induce or seduce" a woman under his charge to have "sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape".
Chinmayanand (72) also faced charges under Sections 342 (wrongful confinement), 354-D (stalking) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
According to government lawyer Abhay Tripathi, the victim had lodged an FIR in this regard with the Lodhi Colony police station of New Delhi on September 5, 2019.
Her father lodged another complaint in Shahjahanpur and both FIRs were merged.
An SIT had recorded her statement. Later, her statement under Section 164 of the CrPC was recorded in Shahjahanpur.
In both statements, she had supported the FIR version but now during the trial, she changed her statement and denied the facts mentioned in the complaint.
&ldquo;Since she has turned hostile, I have moved an application under Section 340 of the CrPC,&rdquo; Tripathi said.
Earlier, the investigation officer had cited 33 witnesses and 29 documentary evidence in the 13-page charge sheet.
The Allahabad high court had on February 3, 2020 transferred the trial from Shahjahanpur to the Lucknow's MP-MLA court.
The case first came to light after the woman went missing on August 24, a day after she posted a video on social media alleging that a "senior leader of the sant community" was harassing and threatening to kill her.

Shocked by tone of Maha Governor's letter to CM: Pawar to Modi

PTI,&nbsp;Mumbai:&nbsp;NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing shock over the kind of language used by Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari in a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over reopening places of worship amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his letter to Modi, the Rajya Sabha MP, whose party is a key ally in the Shiv Sena-led MVA government, said he was pained by the erosion of standards of conduct by the high Constitutional office of the Honourable Governor.
In the letter to the chief minister on reopening of temples, Koshyari had asked, "Have you suddenly turned secular, the term you hated?" Pawar said the Prime Minister had given very appropriate slogan of do gaj ki doori to curb the spread of COVID-19 and added the Maharashtra government is also planning a campaign to make people aware of the importance of social distancing.
The former Union minister referred to the huge crowds some temples in the state like that of Lord Vitthal in Pandhapur, Siddhivinayak in Mumbai, Sai Baba in Shirdi and others, witness on normal days.
In such places, it is almost impossible to maintain safe distance between people. Keeping this in view, the Government of Maharashtra had decided to stagger the decision regarding opening up of places of worship, Pawar said.
The NCP patriarch said he agreed the Governor can have independent views and opinion on the sensitive issue and appreciated the latters prerogative to convey his views to the chief minister.
However, I am shocked and surprised to see the letter of the Governor released to the media and the kind of language used in the letter, Pawar said.
The veteran politician said separately on Twitter that the kind of language used in the letter does not behove well for a person who holds a constitutional position.
The NCP president said he is sure the prime minister, too, would have noticed the intemperate language used in the Governors letter.
Pawar said the word secular is part of the Preamble of the Constitution and it shields all religions.
Hence, the Chair of the Chief Minister must uphold such tenets of the Constitution, he said.
Unfortunately, Hon. Governors letter to the Chief Minister invokes the connotation as if written to the leader of a political party.
I firmly believe that in a democracy, free exchange of views between the Hon. Governor and the Hon. Chief Minister must take place.
However, the tone and tenor used must always be in keeping with the stature of the constitutional post occupied by the individuals, Pawar said.
The veteran leader said that looking at the turn of events, the chief minister was left with no option but to release his reply to the Governor in the press.
Pawar said he fully endorsed the chief ministers decision on this issue.
I have not discussed this matter either with the Hon.
Governor nor with the Hon. Chief Minister. However, I felt that I must share my pain with you and the public at the erosion of standards of conduct by the high Constitutional office of the Hon. Governor, Pawar told Modi.
Pawar said he enclosed with his epistle to Modi a copy of Koshyaris letter.
The NCP president also mentioned in his own communication to Modi two quotes from Koshyaris letter to Thackeray.
You have a strong votary of Hindutva. You had publicly espoused your devotion for Lord Rama by visiting Ayodhya after taking charge as the Chief Minister.
"You had visited Vitthal Rukmini Mandir in Pandharpur and performed the puja on Ashadhi Ekadashi.
Wonder if you are receiving any divine premonition to keep postponing the reopening (of) the places of worship time and again or have you suddenly turned secular yourselves, the term you hated? said Koshyari to Thackeray, according to Pawars letter.&nbsp;

Hathras case: Sena attacks Yogi, Kangana with a Pakistan poser

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut Sunday likened the Hathras incident in Uttar Pradesh, wherein a 19-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped and killed, to &ldquo;atrocities being committed against Hindu girls in Pakistan&rdquo;.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut Sunday likened the Hathras incident in Uttar Pradesh&nbsp;to 'atrocities being committed against Hindu girls in Pakistan'. Wondering why nobody has called Hathras&nbsp;a Pakistan yet, Raut&nbsp;in a write-up in the party mouthpiece &lsquo;Saamana&rsquo;, also took a veiled jibe at actress Kangana Ranaut&nbsp;for comparing Mumbai&nbsp;with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He wrote what happened in Hathras was no different that how Hindu girls are treated in PoK.&nbsp;Raut said that identity of a rape victim should never be revealed, but a photograph of the Hathras victim in a hospital was circulated.

PTI,&nbsp;Mumbai:&nbsp;Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut Sunday likened the Hathras incident in Uttar Pradesh, wherein a 19-year-old woman was allegedly gang-raped and killed, to &ldquo;atrocities being committed against Hindu girls in Pakistan&rdquo;.
In a write-up in the party mouthpiece &lsquo;Saamana&rsquo;, Raut also took a veiled jibe at actress Kangana Ranaut over her &ldquo;Mumbai-Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK)&rdquo; remark wondering why nobody has called Hathras a Pakistan yet.
&ldquo;The Hathras victim was not a celebrity and she was not on drugs. She did not have any illegal construction (built by) spending crores of rupees. She was a simple girl whose dead body was illegally burnt in the dead of the night. All this happened in Yogi's (Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath&rsquo;s) &lsquo;Ramrajya&rsquo; (concept of ideal rule).
&ldquo;We hear that such incidents happen in Pakistan where Hindu girls are kidnapped, raped and murdered. What happened in Hathras was no different. So far no one has called Hathras a Pakistan," he said in his weekly column &lsquo;Rokhthok&rsquo;.
Raut said that identity of a rape victim should never be revealed, but a photograph of the Hathras victim in a hospital was circulated. &ldquo;Those who supported Kangana Ranaut's baseless comments against Mumbai and Maharashtra and demanded justice for her when her illegal construction was pulled down (by the Mumbai civic body last month), are now silent and have become invisible when it comes to demanding justice for the Hathras victim,&rdquo; he wrote.
He questioned the &ldquo;silence&rdquo; of National Commission for Women&rsquo;s chairperson Rekha Sharma, who had filed a case against Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik for his remarks against Ranaut, in the Hathras case.
&ldquo;Has justice eluded the Hathras victim because she was a Dalit?" Raut asked. He also criticised Union minister and Dalit leader Ramdas Athawale for &ldquo;keeping mum&rdquo; on the case.
"The Dalit movement and Ambedkar thoughts have been destroyed," he said.
Raut said 12,257 incidents of gang-rape have taken reported in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh from 2014 to 2019, &ldquo;but justice is given considering caste, religion and political affiliations&rdquo;.
&ldquo;If a Hathras-like incident had taken place in Maharashtra, demands would have been raised for dismissal of the state government and for imposition of President's rule,&rdquo; he added.&nbsp;

Peak sadness: India's happiness levels drop significantly 

If you've been feeling gloomier than you've ever felt before, data from happiness studies suggests&nbsp;you're not alone!&nbsp;

Feeling a bit too gloomy lately? You're not alone!&nbsp;
MDI&nbsp;prof&nbsp;releases a ranking of happiest states in India&nbsp;
Maha, Delhi, Haryana&nbsp;worst affected by Covid-19
Mizoram&nbsp;and Punjab report the jolliest mood&nbsp;
Global report reveals India dropped 15 points in global index
India facing one of the steepest decline in happiness since 2013
Pandemic anxiety, job insecurity &amp; exhaustion could be to blame&nbsp;

If you've been feeling a notch gloomier than you've ever felt before, you're not alone.
A recently released India-specific happiness&nbsp;study has found that we, as a nation, are sadder than we've ever been.
The report, released by MDI&nbsp;Gurgaon's&nbsp;Professor Rajesh K Pillania, ranks all 36 states and Union Territories on the basis of their happiness quotient. According to Pillania's&nbsp;findings,&nbsp;Maharashtra, Delhi and Haryana&nbsp;are the worst affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with Mizoram and Punjab reporting the jolliest mood.
Echoing a similar sentiment, a global happiness report released in February revealed that India&nbsp;dropped 15 points in the index ranking of global countries in just one year.
The same report also noted that India is one of the five countries facing the steepest decline in happiness since the year 2013.
While none of the reports establishes the key contributor in this decline, a mixture of pandemic anxiety, dwindling job&nbsp;security and over exhaustion from an increase in workload could be some of the factors to blame.
