Internet services suspended in Punjab till March 23 as Police continues Amritpal Singh’s manhunt

The India Saga Saga |

Police in Punjab have decided to chase down Waris Punjab de Chief and rebellious leader Amritpal Singh Sandhu, after which all the mobile internet and SMS services have been revoked in the state till March 23. The decision was issued on Tuesday followed by an immediate suspension of all internet services.   

 

“All mobile services, SMS services (except banking and mobile recharge), and all dongle-based services delivered on mobile networks, except voice calling will continue to be paused in the districts – Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Moga, Sangrur, Sub-division Ainala in Amritsar, areas adjoining YPS Chowk and Airport Road both in SAS nagar till March 23rd (12:00 hours) in the interest of Public Safety,” the official order stated. 

 

Amritpal is still in hiding but his uncle Harjit Singh and driver Harpreet Singh have already surrendered themselves to the Jalandhar police. The officials have arrested 78 members of an outfit headed by him. Harjeet Singh was obtained by Central Jail in Dibrugarh on Tuesday. Some unknown sources said that his uncle was carried from Punjab to the military airport in Jorhat from where he was brought to the Dibrugarh Jail under security by road.

 

Sometime back, four pro-Khalistani members were flown to Dibrugarh on Sunday and lodged in Central Jail there. The police said a total of 112 arrests have been yet, and 34 were arrested on Sunday. The police also said that Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh was still underground and a massive manhunt is being launched to arrest him. 

 

The police conducted flag processions in many cities to maintain law and order and install confidence among the people. Jalandhar Commissioner Kuldeep Singh Chahal said on Saturday evening that the radical leader has been declared a “fugitive” in the eyes of law. The police action came almost over three weeks after Amritpal’s backers battled with the officials at the Ajnala police station on February 23 on the outskirts of Amritsar, demanding the liberation of one of Amritpal’s close members – Lovepreet Toofan. 

 

Thousands of his followers clutched the Ajnala police station, throwing swords and high-caliber firearms in the air, terrorizing the police with threatening consequences for not releasing Lovepreet Toofan, who has been in police custody for allegedly assaulting and abducting a man. 

What is Lung Cancer and how to prevent it?

The India Saga Saga |

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths. It occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs begin to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can spread to other parts of the body. Lung cancer is typically divided into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), each of which requires a different treatment approach.

 

At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we specialize in providing advanced lung cancer treatment options to patients. Our team of oncologists, led by Dr. Arjun Agarwal, is committed to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each patient. Our goal is to help our patients achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life.

 

One of the most common treatments for lung cancer is surgery. In early-stage NSCLC, surgery may be used to remove the tumor and any affected lymph nodes. This is often followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. In more advanced cases, surgery may not be possible, and other treatments such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be used as the primary treatment.

 

Radiation therapy involves using high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. It may be used as the primary treatment for NSCLC or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we use advanced radiation therapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

 

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery or radiation therapy. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute, we use the latest chemotherapy drugs and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

 

Immunotherapy is a newer type of cancer treatment that helps the body’s immune system fight cancer. It works by blocking proteins that allow cancer cells to hide from the immune system or by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells. At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute, we offer immunotherapy to patients with advanced NSCLC who have not responded to other treatments.

 

In addition to these treatments, we also offer supportive care services such as pain management, nutrition counseling, and psychological support to help our patients manage the physical and emotional effects of lung cancer.

 

At Rohilkhand Cancer Institute Bareilly, we are committed to providing the most advanced and personalized lung cancer treatment options to our patients. Our team of oncologists, led by Dr. Arjun Agarwal, is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcomes for each patient.

Trump failed to disclose expensive gift from India

The India Saga Saga |

Congressional Democrats from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability conducted an investigation that revealed that Former President Donald Trump, during his presidency, did not report 17 gifts worth more than $47,000 that he and his family were given by India to the State Department. 

 

Between 2018 and 2021, President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the then Gujrat CM Vijay Rupani, Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao and the Embassy of India in the Philippines presented these gifts to Donald Trump and his family. In addition to Trump, India presented gifts to First Lady Melania Trump, as well as Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump. The majority of these gifts were given during Ivanka Trump’s trip to Hyderabad in 2017 and during Trump’s official visit to India in 2020. 

 

On Friday, an interim staff report called “Saudi Sword, Indian Jewellery, and a Larger-than-life Salvadoran Portrait of Donald Trump: The Trump Administration’s Failure to Disclose Major Foreign Gifts” was released. It is part of a larger investigation which claims that Trump and his family did not disclose more than 100 foreign gifts from numerous countries, including Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Qatar, Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Austria, and Bangladesh, among others. These gifts were valued at $291,000. 

 

According to the report, failure to report and disclose gifts in accordance with the regulation breaches the Foreign Gifts and Decoration Act and may also contravene the Emoluments Clause and the Constitution, which prohibits the President from receiving benefits from foreign entities while in office. Additionally, under the Ethics in Government Act, the President must publicly disclose gifts above a certain value that they or their immediate family members receive. The committee has raised concerns about the potential for a foreign leader to use gifts as means of securing favours from Trump.

 

The report includes a section on India and mentions that PM Modi gave Trump a black marble table adorned with mother-of-pearl and stone inlay worth $1,400, along with cufflinks by designer Raghavendra Rathore presented in a box with $1,920. Additionally, Modi gifted Melania Trump a charm bracelet in a presentation box by  Raghavendra Rathore worth $2,750, while Kushner received Bandhgala jacket by the same designer in a presentation box worth $950. Ivanka Trump was gifted a painting on silk reportedly created by the Pichwai Painting Deccan School of India, framed and presented in a box, worth $2,200, and a bracelet by Raghavendra Rathore with was $2,450.

The National Archives currently possess a significant number of gifts mentioned in the Congressional report concerning Trump, however, it is mandatory under the law for the President and other federal officials to disclose publicly any gifts valued over $415. It is this particular regulation that the White House under Trump is accused of a violation.

Super Angels Summit is world’s first and largest Angel Investors Conference to be held in Abu Dhabi

The India Saga Saga |

SuperAngels is set to revolutionise the world of startup investments with the launch of its two-day international conference, taking place on May 12-13 the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

 

Angel investors are the cornerstone of a powerful and world-changing entrepreneurship ecosystem. While there are numerous events to celebrate startups and the overall movement, there are far too few events for investor ecosystems and even fewer for active and aspiring angel investors.

 

“I have had the privilege of dedicating more than a decade of my life to the Indian and Asian Startup Ecosystem, participating in over 2000+ startup events worldwide as a speaker, organiser, and participant. But as I continued to immerse myself in this dynamic world, I couldn’t ignore the stark and staggering void in Angel Investment Education on a global scale. That’s when I knew it was time to take action,” explains Ravi Ranjan, the Founder of Super Angels Summit, working alongside his esteemed 30-member core team spanning India, UAE, South East Asia, and North America.

 

Ravi has been making waves in the business world and was recently in the news for his role as Curator and Business Advisor for the widely popular Shark Tank India, an official adaptation of the global franchise. He is also the Official Representative of the Royal Family of Dubai and has been working closely with various stakeholders – including Governments, Venture Capital Funds, Angel Networks, Incubators, Policy Makers, and Academia – to drive innovation and growth across the global startup ecosystem. The conference is designed to provide active and aspiring angel investors from around the world with an opportunity to learn, network, and be part of the ever-growing angel investment movement.

 

The summit will also feature a dedicated startup expo showcasing top startups from various parts of the world and highly curated start-ups that would pitch live and gain funding in addition to exposure, access to targeted visibility, and compositionally unique talent exchange. While India and Asia have rapidly emerged as the powerhouse of the startup economy, India has secured the position of the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem with a plethora of investment opportunities.

 

SuperAngels is on a mission to disrupt the status quo by transforming the angel investment landscape across India, South East Asia, MENA, and Africa. Through a powerful combination of knowledge, network, and access, SuperAngels is determined to exponentially increase the number of angel investors in these regions. The Super Angels Summit appears to be a promising opportunity, featuring a lineup of world-class speakers, Decacorn, Unicorn, and Soonicorn founders, top-tier Super Angels, influential Policy Makers, and Startup Ecosystem Enablers.

 

The conference will be jam-packed with informative talks, curated masterclasses, boot camps, and various Angel Investment Education workshops to equip attendees with the knowledge and expertise required for success in the global startup ecosystem. The event is ticketed and bookings have been made available from Thursday, 9th March 2023 through the website: www.superangels.live. An early bird offer is currently available.

India’s GDP expected to grow at 6% in FY24: CRISIL

The India Saga Saga |

India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is predicted to increase by 6.8 per cent in the upcoming fiscal year 2023-24, which is lower than the previously projected growth rate of 7  per cent for the current financial year 2022-23, according to analytics company CRISIL. These estimates are 40 basis points lower than the Reserve Bank of India’s prediction of 6.4 per cent, and 100 basis points lower than CRISIL’s own estimate of 7 per cent for FY23.

 

On Thursday, CRISIL Ltd, a credit rating agency, described the worldwide situation as more negative and predicted that India’s GDP growth for FY24 would be 6 per cent, which is lower than the 7 per cent estimate made by the National Statistical Organisation (NSO) for FY23.  According to CRISIL, a combination of intricate geo-political circumstances, persistently high inflation, and significant interest rate increases aimed at addressing it, have contributed to a more dismal global situation.

 

According to the credit rating agency, the possibility of inflation increasing is more likely due to the current heat wave and the prediction from the World Meteorological Organization that an El Nino warming event is expected to occur within the next few months. “The primary obstacle that the Indian economy will face in the upcoming fiscal year is maintaining growth despite the global slowdown,” CRISIL said about the GDP growth in FY24. 

 

“The rising global strains path has been changed – from the Covid-19 pandemic to ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine. The world economic scenario has forced to increase in interest rates for important central banks to tackle the wave of inflation. In advanced countries, policy rates are currently at their highest level in ten years. The decrease in global growth will impede India’s exports. Moreover, as the effects of the increased policy rates spread throughout the economy, there is a possibility that demand will weaken due to tighter domestic financial conditions,” the report said. 

 

“The Indian GDP is projected to increase by 6.8 per cent annually over the next five financial years, which will be primarily driven by enhancement in capital and productivity,” stated by Amish Mehta, CEO and managing director at CRISIL. It is expected that this percentage will increase to 15 per cent by the fiscal year 2027, as per the report. The report said a favourable harvest during the rabi season would contribute to reducing food inflation, while the deceleration of the economy would have a moderating effect on core inflation.
