Govt employee has fundamental right to be considered for promotion : SC
The Supreme Court has ruled that a Government employee has a fundamental right to be considered for promotion and it is mandatory for the Centre and States to carry out cadre review of eligible officers for promotion to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).
The right of eligible employees to be considered for promotion is virtually a part of their fundamental right guaranteed under Article 16(Equality of opportunity in matter of public employment) of the Constitution, a bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and A K Ganguly held in a recent judgement.
The apex court passed the judgement while directing the Centre and the UP Government to consider the promotion of two State cadre officers-Hemraj Singh Chauhan and Ramnawal Singh to the IAS.
We hold that the statutory duty which is cast on the State Government and the Central Government to undertake the cadre review exercise every five years is ordinarily mandatory subject to exceptions which may be justified in the facts of a given case, the bench said
Both the Centre and the UP government had challenged the direction of the Delhi High Court to consider the two officials promotion due to them in 2003 since the cadre review exercise was undertaken by the State government only in 2005. This was done despite repeated reminders from the Centre.
The guarantee of a fair consideration in matters of promotion under Article 16 virtually flows from guarantee of equality under Article 14(Equality before Law) of the Constitution, the apex court said while upholding the high courts judgement.
The apex court ruled that state governments are under obligation to recommend names of its administrative officers every five years to the Centre for their promotion to the IAS and pulled up the UP government for failing to do so despite several reminders from the Union Government.
The court said that a government cannot deny an eligible state officer from being promoted due to the delay on its part in conducting such exercise and pulled it up for lethargic approach resulting in two state officers being denied promotion.
It is clear that legitimate expectations of the state officers of being considered for promotion has been defeated by the acts of the government and if not of the Central Government, certainly the unreasonable inaction on the part of the state government stood in the way of the officers chances of promotion, the court said.The Court is satisfied that in this case for the delayed exercise of statutory function the Government has not offered any plausible explanation. The state officers cannot be made in any way responsible for the delay, the court added.

P T Usha not so much in support of IPL
P T Usha not so much in support of IPL craze: Kochi is now the new team added to IPL for 2011. This news is a happy one for Kerala. However P.T. Usha has a different view.
�Those who invested money in the IPL look for profits. The players will never feel that they are representing the country. If I invest my money, I will surely look for ways to recover the investment, Usha said.
�The love for sports gets lost,� she added. Another athlete, Shiny Wilson says, �Almost all kids play cricket. Even volleyball courts are used for playing cricket. IPL will have a negative impact on other sports.�

Kerala schools to have free digital libraries
The government will set up Free Digital Libraries in all schools in Kerala, Education Minister MA Baby said.
Under the scheme, 4,071 schools will be provided hardware equipment including 7,300 computers, 3,740 laptops, 6,510 UPS units, 1,291 printers, 785 scanners, 1,160 multimedia projectors and 430 LCD Televisions (32) before March 31, reports IANS.

Baby was speaking during the state-level inauguration of hardware distribution to 4,071 schools under ICT in School Scheme.
IT@School Project Executive Director K Anvar Sadath said the Free Digital Libraries will be provided materials on a regular basis.

Explosive material detected in the cargo hold of Kingfisher flight
The crude explosive material detected in the cargo hold of Kingfisher flight on Sunday is suspected to have been placed while the aircraft was parked at the airport here.
According to police sources, an indication to this effect was given in the first information report submitted before a local court here on Tuesday. The flight from Bangalore arrived here at 8.05 am and the explosive wrapped in a Malayalam newspaper was spotted about 10 minutes later from the cargo section by a cleaning staff engaged by the airline, the FIR submitted in the First Class Judicial Magistrate Court here said.
The suspicion that the incident had a local connection was �reinforced as the low-intensity material � a mixture of potassium chloride, ammonia and sulphur � was wrapped in two layers of paper, first of which was a question paper of 10th standard model exam held in Kerala last year, the sources said. Since Monday evening, investigators have zoomed in on three persons, including a cracker dealer, whose statements reportedly offered some clues, the sources said.

An 85-year-old man body cremated in front of panchayat office
An 85-year-old man, who passed away early Wednesday morning, was cremated in front of a gram panchayat office here as there was a stay in conducting cremations at a nearby graveyard.
The relatives of the deceased wanted the cremation to be performed at the Kuruppintekulam graveyard, where the body was first taken.
However, the cremation could not be performed as two persons staying within a 50 metre radius of the area had obtained a stay from the Kerala High Court.
The body was then taken to the Kunnukara Gram Panchayat office where the pyre was lit and the body cremated.
The Revenue Department has decided to acquire the property of the two persons to settle the issue. Acquisition proceedings are in the final stage, a panchayat secretary said.

Bhatia said Pepsico's contract farming had picked up very fast, adding that the company had procured 22,000 tonnes of potato in the last harvesting season.
He said that with the growing sales of its snacks brands, the company would adopt for more in the country for contract farming.
At present, Pepsico is involved in the contract farming for potato only.
Bhatia said that farmers were ensured a captive offtake even in periods of glut and also a remunerative price.
He said Pepsico was buying potatoes at Rs 6 per kg from the farmers, which was higher than what others were getting by selling the crop to the intermediaries.
Asked whether the company would enter into contract farming for other crops, Bhatia said that the company was planning to follow a similar line for oats.
He said oats were presently being imported for its Quaker Oats brand and the company was in talks with various agricultural universities for cultivating it in the country.
"It is still in the research stage and may take three to four years time," Bhatia said.
He said oatmeal was becoming a popular breakfast cereal in India due to health reasons.

Rendezvous Sports to bid for Kochi
Irrepressible Shashi Tharoor added a new dimension to his expansive profile when he got leading business magnets to come together as Rendezvous Sports World Ltd. that bagged a team for Kochi in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Tharoor gave Kerala a reason to cheer for when he lent his support to the franchisee to bid $333.33 million (Rs 1,533.33 crore) to get Kochi one of the two new IPL teams from the next season. Sahara Adventure Sports Group bagged Pune.
IPL chairman Lalit Modi confirmed Minister of State for External Affairs Tharoor was the brain behind Rendezvous Sports World Ltd.
Tharoor was involved in getting people together to bid for Kochi. He is an ardent fan of cricket. His involvement was to see a team from Kochi and that was fulfilled, Modi said in Chennai.
Tharoor, on his part said, said his role is of a mentor and he encouraged the business houses to think of Kerala. He also gave a lot of insight about the popularity of cricket in the state and said the team will immensely benefit young cricketers here.
All I did on my part was to offer encouragement, blessings and expert advise when required to the bidders. Beyond that, I had no role to play. I understand its a business decision, Tharoor said.
IPL is an extremely valuable activity that is here to stay and grow. It will go a long way in terms of its popularity, he said. It will capture the spirit of the enthusiasm of the young and give young Keralites a team to identify with.
It will give them a passion of the sport which has worldwide recognition and certainly national significance, he said.
I do not own the team but I will certainly give my opinion when asked for it, a beaming Tharoor added.
Tharoor represents the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat and he even air-dashed to the Middle East last week to finalise certain business groups to join hands for a combined bid which is led by business magnate Shailendra Gaekwad alongwith Vivek Venugopal and a few others.
However, Tharoor denied the involvement of any group from the Middle East.
This (bidding) could have gone anywhere. Mumbai-based promoter was the key. Believe me, I am not looking into who are the others involved and how much money is involved. To the best of my knowledge, there is no Middle East group involved, he said.
A close aide of Tharoor said just like his candidature in May Lok Sabha elections, his support for an IPL team from the state too came as a surprise.

Amitabh Bachchan accepted Kerala's request to become the state's brand ambassador
A week after Amitabh Bachchan accepted Kerala's request to become the state's brand ambassador to promote tourism, the move is apparently facing stiff opposition. "I would not like to name those who have expressed their displeasure in inviting Big B to promote Kerala tourism. A few social and cultural personalities have said that this should not be done," Kerala Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan told IANS.
"Stiff opposition to this has also come from Delhi and that has surprised many of us," he said. But he did not elaborate as to who were opposing his appointment. Big B was in the state for a few functions last month. It was during an interview to a TV channel that the actor said he would gladly accept the offer to become Kerala tourism's brand ambassador. Soon after, the Kerala Tourism wrote to him and also received his acceptance letter.
"What I am told is that in the past also efforts were made to rope in the superstar but it did not materialise because of the hefty professional charges that was asked. This time too everything depends on how much he would ask and also what sort of opposition is going to surface. Let us see...," Balakrishnan said.

LDF nominees for Rajya Sabha, K N Balagopal and T N Seema, filed nomination papers for the elections to the Rajya Sabha
LDF nominees for Rajya Sabha, K N Balagopal and T N Seema, filed nomination papers for the elections to the Rajya Sabha here on Tuesday, the last day of filing nominations. Defence Minister A K Antony had filed his nomination on March 15 for the other Rajya Sabha seat that had become vacant.
Both the CPM leaders arrived at the Assembly complex accompanied by almost the entire LDF cabinet led by Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and LDF legislators, including RSP leaders Water Resources Minister N K Premachandran, A A Aziz and Kovoor Kunjumon. The CPM picked its nominees after rejecting the claims made by the RSP.
Balagopal and Seema filed two nominations each and submitted the deposit amount of Rs 10,000 to Legislature Secretary P D Rajan, the returning officer for the Rajya Sabha elections. Balagopal’s deposit amount would be borne by the DYFI and SFI, and T N Seema’s by the party. Going by the ruling party’s strength in the Assembly, CPM-led LDF can win two of the three Rajya Sabha seats falling vacant. Antony’s win is also a foregone conclusion.

Balagopal and Seema filed two nominations each and submitted the deposit amount of Rs 10,000 to Legislature Secretary P D Rajan, the returning officer for the Rajya Sabha elections. Balagopal’s deposit amount would be borne by the DYFI and SFI, and T N Seema’s by the party. Going by the ruling party’s strength in the Assembly, CPM-led LDF can win two of the three Rajya Sabha seats falling vacant. Antony’s win is also a foregone conclusion.

Developing inland waterways works to be completed by March
Works sanctioned by the 12th Finance Commission for developing inland waterways in the State will be completed in March, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan told the Assembly on Tuesday.
In 2006-07, administrative sanction was given for Rs 52.25 crore. 120 works in all were started and 72 have been completed. During 2007-2010, administrative sanction was accorded for Rs 151.98 crore. Of the 127 works started, 37 were completed.
Of the 590 km of waterways in the State, 168 km are under the National Waterway-III. The rest, 422 km, are state waterways. Works were taken up on 92 km, and completed on 47.13 km, the Chief Minister said.
Development of the north-south waterway was the flagship project of the LDF Government in its first Budget. The ambitious project, which will bring relief to the overcrowded Kerala roads and smoothen cargo transport, has its problems.
“There are boundary disputes and disputes regarding Chinese fishing nets and encroachments. These have to be addressed,” the Chief Minister said.
“OFFICIALS TRAPPED MENON: “Rear Admiral (Retd) B R Menon, advisor to the State Government on inland waterways, had been trapped in a sex scandal by ‘officials,’ Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan told the Assembly on Tuesday. “Officials trapped him. But the Kerala High Court ruled that he was innocent. He is back at work,” the Chief Minister said.

The additional seats had been okayed following the Central Government’s decision to sanction 3,791 more postgraduate seats in the medical colleges across the country.
This will push up the number of PG seats from the current 13,503 to 17,294 in the new academic session across 22 states and Union Territories. Of these, 3,085 seats have been added to government colleges and 706 to private ones. However, the biggest beneficiary of the Centre’s decision is Andhra Pradesh. The state has bagged the most number of seats with 611, followed by Maharashtra with 476. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, New Delhi, Punjab and Gujarat also bagged more than 200 seats each.
In Kerala, the biggest beneficiary is Thiruvananthapuram Medical College which got 84 more PG seats. Kozhikode Medical College got 27 more seats, Alappuzha eight, Kottayam 27 and Thrissur 25 more seats.

IIM-A welcomes cohorts
his year IIM Ahmedabad changed its placement process, keeping in mind the large batch size that is expanding with every passing year. Other IIMs, like IIM Calcutta and IIM Bangalore, are also weighing their options on improving the placement process. Placements for all IIMs have always been a logistical challenge with so many students interviewing with multitudes of organisations in a very short span of time. This year, IIM-A chose to take the initiative by doing away with the traditional �day-based placement process and switching to one that is �cohort-based�. Though the verdict on the success of the new process is awaited, it is a welcome initiative by the premier management school to try a new approach that would possibly make life easy for both recruiters and students.
Placement time at IIM-A is pretty hectic, and that�s an understatement. To an external observer, it might seem like one big chaotic affair. Senior executives from India and abroad swoop in at Vastrapur, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, to recruit the next generation of managers. It is a veritable talent hunt. They come looking for bright young management graduates who, two years earlier, got the better of over 1,75,000 other students in a process called the Common Aptitude Test (CAT). CAT is a selection process that is meant to assess students� analytical skills through a written exam and their personality through a discussion within a group and a personal interview. As the IIMs carry out quite an elaborate process to select their students, it is only fair that they provide the same opportunity to the recruiters to select their future managers.

Nexus between panchayat sec, sand mafia alleged
Aanakkara panchayat president P M Azeez said the sand mining mafia was having a field day in the panchayat, situated on the border of Palakkad district, with the blessings of some corrupt bureaucrats. Even the local people were being denied river sand, he told reporters here on Monday.
Around 100 loads of river sand are being taken from the four kadavs of the panchayat every day. Even the locals have to stand in queues at the Ottapalam taluk office to get passes to avail themselves of river sand. And when the locals travel 40 km to Ottapalam, they find that the sand has been taken away by the mafia, Azeez said.
The people who manage to get passes by paying Rs 1,500, have to pay Rs 3,000 as tea money to the workers to get the passes.
Azeez alleged that the panchayat secretary had extended the validity of around 400 passes of the mafia from last October to this January on flimsy grounds. He did this in connivance with some employees of the Collectorate here. This was brought to the notice of the Collector and the RDO but to no avail.

he Kerala State Water Transport Department is venturing into the tourism field by starting a project, �See Kuttanad, aimed at luring foreign tourists to the interiors of the water-locked Kuttanad.
As part of the initiative, KSWTD will ply two double-decker boats through Kuttanad from the Alappuzha boat jetty as a circular service for tourists.

KSWTD director Shaji V Nair told Express on Monday that discussions in this regard were on and the project would take off once the State Government allots the boats. The project will be a blessing for daily commuters as well as they would get trips in addition to the existing ones.
It is the success of recentlylaunched tourism boat service between Kollam and Alappuzha that inspired the department to start more tourism-oriented projects covering Kuttanad. �We�ve been getting an awesome response for the Kollam- Alappuzha service and the department�s recently-launched website, Nair said. KSWTD now plans to popularise the Kollam-Alappuzha service with the help of Tourism and Education departments and tour operators.

Revenue share from sand for dam areas
Thiruvananthapuram: Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac has rolled out a road map for utilising revenue from sand mined from dams. He has announced a proposal to make special provision for the development of areas around the dams as a compensation for the hardship they undergo owing to the mining and related activities.
Replying to a debate on the Appropriation Bill on the supplementary demands for grants worth Rs.3,400 crore in the Assembly on Monday, Dr. Isaac said he was considering a Rs.100-crore allocation for Palakkad district as part of this proposal. �The allocation is a compensation of sorts for the local people who face hardships owing to the huge activity that reservoir sand-mining involves.
Check-dams
The amount would be utilised to construct check-dams in the Bharathapuzha and to renovate the famed Malampuzha Garden, which had fallen on bad days. He would work with the Tourism Department to formulate a special scheme for this. The Minister said that he would also make special provisions of Rs.15 crore and Rs.10 crore for Malampuzha and Muthalamada panchayats respectively because the people there had to bear with the hardships of sand-mining in the Malampuzha and Chulliyar dams. In addition, he proposed to earmark Rs.25 crore for heavy duty maintenance of the ring road and other connecting thoroughfares in Palakkad.
With revenue from sand-mining from dams continuing to be the focus of discussion in the Assembly for yet another day, Dr. Isaac utilised the moment to reveal his plans for spending the revenue from this activity. Terming the de-silting activity a big success, he emphasised the need to look after the local population who had to face hardships because of this activity. �However, the onus is on the MLAs to bring up proposals,� he said, prompting several members to seek the Ministers clarification whether he would consider the reservoirs in their respective constituencies.

In addition, he proposed to earmark Rs.25 crore for heavy duty maintenance of the ring road and other connecting thoroughfares in Palakkad.
With revenue from sand-mining from dams continuing to be the focus of discussion in the Assembly for yet another day, Dr. Isaac utilised the moment to reveal his plans for spending the revenue from this activity. Terming the de-silting activity a big success, he emphasised the need to look after the local population who had to face hardships because of this activity. �However, the onus is on the MLAs to bring up proposals,� he said, prompting several members to seek the Ministers clarification whether he would consider the reservoirs in their respective constituencies.

Girl\'s `misfired\' SMS over exam marks leads to murder, five held
A misunderstanding arising out of an SMS sent accidentally by a Class IX girl to a wrong person led to the murder of a 23-year-old man at a place near Kochi recently.
According to the police, the murder of Prasanth, a resident of Aluva, was the culmination of a week-long tiff triggered by the SMS. The police on Sunday arrested five youths, including the friend of the schoolgirl, in connection with the murder that took place on last Wednesday.
Aluva Assistant Superintendent of Police J Jayanath said the girl had wrongly sent an SMS to a youth Anwar, 21.
The text was about girls anguish over loss of a few marks in an exam. The girl told the police the message was originally meant for her friend Nobin, 21.
On receiving the message from an unknown number, a curious Anwar sent back a query: who are you? As there was no response, Anwar dialled the number, but the call was rejected. He tried the number several times, but the girl did not respond fearing trouble.
The girl then sought Nobins help, who, according to the police, had a criminal background. Nobin, a native of Aluva, called up Anwar and abused him. As Anwar took up the incident with his friends, they wanted to clear the confusion over the matter and promised to talk to Nobin. On Wednesday evening, Anwars friends led by Prasanth went to meet Nobin as per a fixed roadside appointment. On reaching the spot, Nobin pounced on Prasanth and stabbed him to death.
According to witnesses, Nobin did not listen to Prasanth as he pleaded that he was not Anwar and that he had not sent any SMS to the girl, the ASP said. In fact, Anwar had not even gone to the spot.
Nobin had taken four men along with him to attack Anwar. He had given an impression to his accomplices that he only wanted to beat up the youth, who had repeatedly dialled the mobile phone of his girlfriend, said Jayanath.
The ASP said Nobin had telephoned the girl before and after the crime. He told the girl that he would finish off the nuisance and would be out of the jail after six months. After the murder, he told her about it and went into hiding.
Jayanath said the girl, hailing from a broken family, has in her possession two SIM cards, although use of mobile phone was strictly banned in Kerala schools.
The investigating officer said the police were looking into how the girls message landed in Anwars mobile.
She told us that the message might have landed in a strange number as part of a `find friendship scheme offered by a cellular firm. But we are cross-checking with the service providers whether such a scheme existed or not.
We are not convinced by that version, the officer said.

Rs.50,000 crore rapid rail project to take off soon: Kerala finance minister Thomas Isaac
Kerala finance minister Thomas Isaac Saturday said the proposed Rs.50,000 crore rapid rail corridor project in the state could become a reality in six years.
Isaac told reporters that Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has been asked to prepare the preliminary report for which Rs.50 crore has been set aside in the state budget.
The proposed project would extend from the northern tip of the state to the southern point and the 600-km distance can be covered in six hours, he said.
\"This proposed project is likely to come up with the help of the Indian Railways. This corridor can either pass by the side of the existing railway track. Through this land required can be minimised,\" said Isaac.
He said a separate company, in which the government will have a stake, would be set up.
It could be on the lines of the Konkan Railway Corporation,he said.
With regards to the funds, Isaac said state industries minister Elamaram Kareem has already come up with a proposal where a monetary institution is ready to fund the project.
\"It has now proved beyond doubt that state government companies cannot execute such projects due to various reasons and hence it would be handed to independent corporations who will execute it in a time bound manner,\" added Isaac.

Kalam ignites minds of IIST students
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Finally, there came that moment when the audience gets to grill Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
``You see, they tell me Ive to catch a plane. So Ill take three questions from the first three students who come up to the stage. Fast, fast..., the former President hurried, not without a sly chuckle.
The next moment, there was a mad scramble forward. The short, rather jumpy youngster who got to be in front of the queue began, ``Its been 60 years since Independence... but much to his chagrin, Kalam cut him mid-sentence, urging him to ask his question.
Second attempt was better, but rather cryptic in content. ``Sir, we don�t yet have what we want. Why is that?��
``First of all, you should know what you want. You should have a dream,�� Kalam said with a laugh, hustling the next questioner forward, who wanted to know when ISRO would top the list of space agencies.
The third questioner, a slim girl, wanted to know Dr Kalam�s views on ``over-competition.��
The venue was the inaugural function of Conscientia 2010, the annual technical fest of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), ISRO�s academy for moulding future space scientists at Veli, near here.
Expanding on the theme �What I will be remembered for,� Kalam urged the future rocket scientists to take up engineering and technology as the mission of a lifetime. The 21st century will be a knowledge-based one offering multiple opportunities, he said, observing that ``What worked yesterday, won�t work today.��
He emphasised the need for establishing a ``societal grid�� consisting of Knowledge Grid, Health Grid, e-Governance Grid and the PURA Grid for accelerating economic growth.
ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan had a pointer for one IIST student who aspired to be an astronaut ``of India.�� Healthy, agile and alert individuals stand a chance to be in that elite club, Radhakrishnan said.
``Initially, we can take only one or two,�� reminded Kalam.
IIST director B.N.Suresh presided over the function.
The festival, which will be on till March 7, will feature astronomy, robo-tournaments, gaming, telescope-making and ethical hacking, among other events.

കുപ്രസിദ്ധ സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദ കോഴഞ്ചേരിയില് എത്തിയതായി അഭ്യൂഹം. ഇതേത്തുടര്ന്ന് പൊലീസിന്റെ രഹസ്യാന്വേഷണ വിഭാഗം അന്വേഷണം തുടങ്ങി.
വിവാദ വീഡിയോ പുറത്തുവന്നതോടെ തിരുവണ്ണാമലയിലെ ആശ്രമത്തില് നിന്നും മുങ്ങിയ സ്വാമി ഒളിച്ചു താമസിക്കാന് കേരളത്തിലെ കോഴഞ്ചേരിയില് എത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ടെന്നാണ് റിപ്പോര്ട്ടുകള് സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നത്. ഇവിടെ നിത്യാനന്ദയ്ക്ക് ഒട്ടേറെ അനുയായികള് ഉണ്ട്.
വിദേശ മലയാളിയായ ഒരു യുവതിയുടെ നേതൃത്വത്തിലാണ് സ്വാമിയുടെ അനുയായികള് കോഴഞ്ചേരിയില് പ്രവര്ത്തിച്ചിരുന്നത്. പ്രസിദ്ധമായ ചെറുകോല്പ്പുഴ കണ്വന്ഷന് നഗറില് സ്വാമിയെ എത്തിക്കാന് ഇവര് ശ്രമിച്ചിരുന്നുവത്രേ.
എന്നാല് കണ്വന്ഷന്റെ ഒരുക്കങ്ങള് പൂര്ത്തിയായ ശേഷമാണ് സംഘാടകരുമായി ഇവര് ഇക്കാര്യം ചര്ച്ച ചെയ്തത്. അതിനാല് കണ്വന്ഷന് നഗറില് സ്വാമിയെ എത്തിക്കാന് ഇവര്ക്കായില്ല.
എങ്കിലും സ്വാമിയുടെ പേരില് കണ്വന്ഷന് നഗരിയില് സ്റാളുകള് നടത്തുകയും നിത്യാനന്ദയുടെ ഫോട്ടോയും പുസ്തകങ്ങളും പ്രസംഗങ്ങള് അടങ്ങിയ സി.ഡികളും ഇവര് വില്പന നടത്തിയിരുന്നു.

പ്രസവവേദന സഹിക്കാനാവാതെ യുവതി കിണറ്റില് ചാടി
പ്രസവവേദന സഹിക്കാന് കഴിയാതെ കിണറ്റില്ച്ചാടിയ യുവതിയും കിണറ്റില്വച്ചു പിറന്ന കുഞ്ഞും മരിച്ചു.
മഹാരാഷ്ട്രയിലെ അമരാവതിക്കടുത്ത് സെന്തുര്ജന ഘട്ട് പട്ടണത്തില് ചൊവ്വാഴ്ച രാത്രിയാണു സംഭവംനടന്നത്.
തോട്ടം ജോലിനോക്കാരനായ രാജു കുമാര് എന്നയാളിന്റെ ഭാര്യ സാവിത്രിയാണു പ്രസവവേദന സഹിക്കാനാകാതെ കിണറ്റില്ചാടിയത്. കിണറ്റിനുള്ളില്വച്ച് പ്രസവിച്ചെങ്കിലും അമ്മയും കുഞ്ഞും മരിച്ചു.
ചൊവ്വാഴ്ച രാവിലെ സാവിത്രിക്കു പ്രസവവേദനയാരംഭിച്ചപ്പോള്തന്നെ രാജ്കുമാര് വൈദ്യസഹായത്തിനു തൊട്ടടുത്തുള്ള പ്രാഥമികാശുപത്രിയിലെത്തിയെങ്കിലും ആരും സഹായത്തിനെത്തിയില്ല.
രാജ്കുമാര് വീട്ടില് മടങ്ങിയെത്തിയപ്പോള് സാവിത്രിയെ കണ്ടെത്താനായില്ല. തുടര്ന്നു നടത്തിയ തെരച്ചിലിലാണ് ബുധനാഴ്ച രാവിലെ സാവിത്രിയുടേയും കുഞ്ഞിന്റേയും മൃതദേഹങ്ങള് കിണറ്റില് കണ്ടെത്തിയത്.

രഞ്ജിത ആത്മഹത്യയ്ക്ക് ശ്രമിച്ചതായി അഭ്യൂഹം
ലൈംഗിക അപവാദത്തിലകപ്പെട്ട നടി രഞ്ജിത ആത്മഹത്യയ്ക്ക് ശ്രമിച്ചതായി റിപ്പോര്ട്ടുകള്. എന്നാല് ഇത് സംബന്ധിച്ച് കൂടുതല് സ്ഥിരീകരണമൊന്നും വന്നിട്ടില്ല. സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദയും രഞ്്ജിതയും ഉള്പ്പെട്ട വീഡിയോ ദൃശ്യങ്ങള് സണ് ടിവി ചാനല് സംപ്രേക്ഷണം ചെയ്തതിന് ശേഷം ഇരുവരും ഒളിവിലായിരുന്നു.
രഞ്ജിത ജീവനൊടുക്കാന് ശ്രമിച്ചതായുള്ള വാര്ത്തകള് തെലുങ്കു സിനിമാലോകത്തെ അലോസരപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. നടി അഭിനയിക്കുന്ന രണ്ട് ചിത്രങ്ങളുടെ നിര്മാണം ഹൈദരാബാദില് പുരോഗമിക്കുകയാണ്. മാവിചിഗുരു, സിരമുലയ്യ എന്നീ ചിത്രങ്ങളില് രഞ്ജിത രണ്ടാം നായികയാണ്. ഈ സിനിമകളുടെ ഷൂട്ടിങ് അവസാനഘട്ടത്തിലാണ്. അതിനിടെയാണ് നടി വിവാദങ്ങളില് കുരുങ്ങിയതും ഒളിവില്പ്പോയതും. ആര്മി ഓഫിസറെ വിവാഹം കഴിച്ച രഞ്ജിത ഏറെക്കാലം സിനിമാരംഗത്തു നിന്ന് അകന്ന് നിന്നതിന് ശേഷമാണു തിരിച്ചെത്തിയത്. അടുത്തിടെ വിവാഹബന്ധം വേര്പെടുത്തുകയും ചെയ്തിരുന്നു. ഇതിന് ശേഷമാണ് രഞ്ജിത സ്വാമി നിത്യാനന്ദയുമായി അടുത്തതെന്ന് റിപ്പോര്ട്ടുകളുണ്ട്.
