Hours after the episode of EVM being shipped in a BJP MLA’s private vehicle set off a debate in survey bound Assam, the Election Commission of India delivered an explanation on the arrangement of occasions that occurred on Thursday night after the second period of casting a ballot deduced in the state.

“This is a criminal act and we demand immediate disqualification of the candidate. This is clear that the BJP is losing in Assam that is why it is using illegal means to win the elections, which is unacceptable,” ANI quoted Congress leader Sushmita Dev as saying. 

A ruckus broke out in Assam’s Karimganj on Thursday after locals found an EVM being transported in a vehicle that belonged to BJP candidate Krishnendu Paul. The polling officials reportedly took a ride in the Mahindra Bolero, registered in the name of Paul’s family member, some three kilometers from Karimganj after their own vehicle broke down midway on the way to Patharkandi Vidhan Sabha.

Meanwhile, dubbing the BJP a serial offender in such cases, Congress’s UP General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi, in a series of tweets, sought a serious re-evaluation of the use of EVMs by all national parties. She took a sarcastic dig at the BJP saying, every time the videos of private vehicles caught transporting EVMs surface, the vehicles usually belong to BJP candidates or their associates.

“The Presiding Officer was issued a show-cause notice for violation of the transport protocol. Thereafter, the PO and three other officials have been placed under suspension.” EC said in an official statement.

Technology has bolstered an era of comparative ease by deploying such resources that are making complex tasks easy to get through.

With changing times, there is an ever-increasing transformation in the IQ of buyers or customers. Their knowledge today is vast and therefore they actively seek better ways to find products that are the closest to their requirements by going through a series of filtering out products based on personal requirements but are still stuck due to very close and overwhelming choices.

This concept is called analysis-paralysis; here, an individual falls deep into the pit of getting confused again and again because of overanalyzing the data or in this case, comparing and contrasting various products. Therefore, a need was felt to bring in place a B2B review platform that gives the responsibility in the hands of the buyer to make detailed comparisons before investing in any product.

The forum of ComHQ caters to this overarching need with its established and celebrated forum where tech buyers and sellers can interact to fulfill their individual needs in a more transparent manner. It’s simple, whenever a consumer wants to make a purchase, they go on the ComHQ website and begin surfing the product post entering some basic details or filters to get them most closest to their ideal choice.

Designed by keeping in mind the demand of consumers to get a non-differentiating platform that helps them in finding the most suited product/service to providing the sellers the incentive of showcasing their products for the general users, ComHQ has become the harbinger of a seamless transfer of information from one end to the other.

The platform empowers both the ends of the supply chain by helping verified users of a product in leaving honest and unbiased reviews for others to take hints from. It also gives the vendor a chance to identify and analyze the reasons why the user is selecting or not selecting their offerings from the sea of goods and services.

The sovereign state of giving valuable feedback helps its users to clear off their heads when they are at crossroads to buy any product for their business needs. ComHQ has listed tons of software products and services on its platform which are generally available from the perspective of catering to business owners.

It is a completely tech-driven platform that has a database of thousands of business products and services with an intelligent system that reads through the entire database to find the top matched searches. These mechanisms are increasingly being put to use by business houses to make practical and efficient choices of a product/service which is bespoke to their business aspirations.

Hours subsequent to telling huge cuts in little reserve funds instruments’ profits for this quarter, the public authority has backtracked on these sharp cuts. This is the first occasion when the Center has rejected the told loan fees on little reserve funds plans in the wake of changing to a quarterly financing cost setting framework in April 2016.

“Interest rates of small savings schemes of GoI shall continue to be at the rates which existed in the last quarter of 2020-2021, ie, rates that prevailed as of March 2021. Orders issued by oversight shall be withdrawn”, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a tweet early Thursday morning.

This would make the fourth consecutive quarter in which the government has maintained the rates on such schemes. According to the recent decision, PPF and NSC will continue to offer interest of 7.1% and 6.8% for the coming three months. The now-withdrawn order would have otherwise made the effective rates from April 1, 6.4% and 5.9% for the PPF and NSC, respectively.

The Finance Ministry on March 31 have cut one-year time deposit rates to 4.4 percent from 5.5 percent, and two-year, three-year, four-year, and five-year recurring deposit rates to 5 percent, 5.1 percent, 5.8 percent, and 5.3 percent, from 5.5 percent, 5. 5 percent, 6.7 percent, and 5.8 percent, respectively.

It had also cut interest rates of the Senior Citizen Savings Schemes to 6.5 percent from 7.4 percent; of the Public Provident Fund Scheme to 6.4 percent from the earlier rate of 7.1 percent; of the Kisan Vikas Patra scheme to 6.2 percent from 6.9 percent; and of the Sukanya Samriddhi Account Scheme to 6.9 percent from 7.6 percent.

“These interest rate cuts are in line with overall interest rate movement in the financial system. When bank lending deposit rates fall sharply, small savings rates have to follow to align with the larger trend,” the ministry had justified.

He was recently elected as a counselor at the Surat Municipal Corporation and was recently chosen for the tenure and as like his innovation in winning elections, he is also replicating the same by requesting his friends to give him old newspapers rather than giving his bouquet and garlands. He says he will sell them off to raise funds for the needy students.

Citing experiences from the earlier elections, Facebook on Wednesday announced its plans to remove any content found to be in violation of the policy it has formulated. The decision was taken in order to regulate hate speech in view of elections in four states and the Union Territory of Puducherry. Facebook is now taking steps to enhance civic engagement, combat hate speech, limit misinformation, and remove voter suppression.

According to its policy, any content offering to buy or sell votes in exchange for cash or kind will be removed. Additionally, it will also remove explicit claims such as “you will contract Covid-19” if you vote or “do not go to vote as everyone will get the disease”.

“Facebook recognizes its role in creating an informed society. Thus, it will also be reminding people to exercise their right to vote. Facebook has come up with Election Day reminders in order to give voters accurate information and encourage voters,” the company said in a blogpost.

India’s largest market, Facebook informed that it has invested in a proactive technology to detect and reduce the distribution of content in violation of the policy. It added the social media firm is likewise deploying technology to recognize new words related to hate speech. 

The company has also pledged to reduce the distribution of content from the accounts found to have repeatedly violated its policies. It added it has partnered with eight third-party fact-checking organizations to tackle misinformation during elections.

The firm also plans public education campaigns and digital literacy training to stop the spread of misinformation.

Facebook has been under fire for allowing hate speech. The opposition Congress in August last year sought a parliamentary panel probe into Facebook’s alleged favorable treatment to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This came following a report in the Wall Street Journal that said Facebook and WhatsApp had refused to bar a BJP lawmaker even as he wrote hateful posts. This was allegedly done to protect the social media company’s commercial interests.

Twitter too acquainted new rules a week ago to contain the spread of false news. It shared tips for users to guarantee that they are getting precise data and information.

To ensure free and fair polls, Both social media intermediaries have also signed a voluntary code of ethics with the Election Commission of India. The government in February introduced new rules to regulate social media content and making companies like Facebook more accountable to requests for quick removal of posts and details on their sources.

The giant cargo ship MV Ever Given was reportedly stuck in Suez Canal for almost a week. It finally started to move, videos that emerged on the social media shows. But its owner said that while the giant ship “has turned”, it was still not yet afloat.

“The canal will be functioning 24 hours per day immediately after the ship has been refloated,” Suez Canal Authority chief Osama Rabie told Egyptian TV. It will then take “around three and a half days” to clear the backlog, he added.

On Monday, rescue workers from the SCA working with a team from Dutch firm Smit Salvage partially refloated the ship and brought it straight into the canal. After quite a few hours of struggle, it shifted briefly back across the canal before being maneuvered free by tugs as the tide changed, a canal source said. 

“The time pressure to complete this operation was evident and unprecedented,” said Peter Berdowski, CEO of Smit Salvage owner Boskalis, after the Ever Given was refloated. The company said approximately 30,000 cubic meters of sand had been taken out to refloat the 224,000-tonne container ship and a total of 11 tugs and two powerful sea tugs were used to pull the ship free.

Satellite images from Maxar Technologies show the Ever Given, the container ship that has been stuck in the Suez Canal, moving away from the eastern bank of the canal.

“As you will see in the imagery, the container ship has been moved away from the eastern bank of the canal and numerous tugboats are actively involved in trying to reposition the ship,” Maxar’s Stephen Wood said in a statement to CNN.
