    Clip of Ramayana played at Lord of the Drinks in Noida, 2 arrested

    The owner of the Noida franchise of Lord of the Drinks and the manager were arrested after several purported videos, showing a scene from the Ramayana TV show playing in the background, surfaced online.

    The incident took place at the pub in Gardens Galleria Mall. While there was no complaint, Noida Police said they took suo motu cognizance seeing social media posts.

    Police said the two men, owner Manak Chaudhary and manager Abhishek, were arrested Monday under charges of promoting enmity between different groups and outraging religious feelings.

    The purported videos, uploaded on social media, show a clip from the 1980s Ramayana show being played on a big screen at the bar while several people are seen dancing to a song.

    Several people tweeted expressing anger and even threatening the pub staff over the use of a clip.

    “Lord of Drinks, Gardens Galleria Mall @noidapolice @Uppolice @dial112 This is making fun of Hinduism and all this is happening openly in Noida. Action should be taken on this asap. Otherwise, if any vandalism happens, they (pub staff) themselves will be responsible for it,” read one of the tweets.

    Reacting to the tweet, the Police Commissionerate of Gautam Buddh Nagar posted a tweet saying they have registered a case at Sector 39 police station and made arrests.

    Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Shakti Avasthy said, “The video went viral on social media Monday morning and is said to be from Lord of the Drinks resto-bar located in Gardens Galleria mall. Taking cognizance of the matter immediately, an FIR was lodged under IPC sections 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups)and 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings).”

    Soon after the FIR was lodged, Manak and Abhishek were arrested from the bar. Police said the FIR in the case also mentions the name of the disc jockey who played the song and the video on that night.

    “The DJ is in Chennai at present and will be arrested soon. We took action as several people had raised objections over the use of the clip at the bar. The manager and owner knew about the DJ and his playlist but didn’t do anything to stop it,” said an officer.

    As per sources, the pub is run by Manak and his wife. Police said they might arrest his wife Tuesday morning or ask her to join the probe.
    When contacted, the MD and CEO of First Fiddle Restaurants Priyank Sukhija, whose company Lord of the Drinks is under, told The Indian Express, “I don’t run the Noida franchise. We saw the video and are coordinating with the UP Police. The video shouldn’t have been played at the bar. We support legal action initiated. However, I think the fault is of the DJ because he was the one who played the video that night. The manager and other staffers were busy working in the kitchen and around the tables…”

  • Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on ‘Muslims in India…’ negative western ‘perception’

    Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on ‘Muslims in India…’ negative western ‘perception’

    union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman claimed that Muslims in India are doing much better than the Muslims living in Pakistan as she was responding to the negative Western “perception” of India at an event in Washington on Monday.

    Sitharaman arrived in Washington on Sunday to attend the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank and chair the second G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting under the Indian presidency.

    Responding to a question on perceptions affecting investment in India or capital flows, Sitharaman, at the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), said, “I would think the answer for that lies with those investors who are coming to India, and they have been coming. And as somebody who is interested in receiving investments, I would only say, come have a look at what’s happening in India, rather than listen to perceptions being built by people who have not even visited on the ground and who produce reports.”

    When PIIE president Adam S Posen asked about there being widespread reporting in the Western media about MPs in the opposition party losing status, and about Muslim minorities in India being subjected to violence, the finance minister replied, “India has the second-largest Muslim population in the world, and that population is only growing in numbers. If there is a perception, or if there’s in reality, their lives are difficult or made difficult with the support of the state, which is what is implied in most of these write-ups, I would ask, will this happen in India in the sense, will the Muslim population be growing than what it was in 1947?”

    Sitharaman contrasted Pakistan, which was formed when India was divided into two, with India by stating that she would take the name of Pakistan to make the contrast sharper. Despite declaring itself an Islamic country that promised to protect minorities, every minority group in Pakistan has dwindled in number and even some Muslim sects have been decimated.

    “Violence prevails against Muhajirs, Shia and every other group you can name which is not accepted by the mainstream. I don’t know, Sunnis probably. Whereas in India you would find every strand of Muslims doing their business, their children getting educated. Fellowships are being given by the government,” news agency ANI quoted her as saying.

    She also urged World Trade Organisation (WTO) to be more progressive.

    “I would love the WTO to be more progressive, a lot more listening to all countries, and more fair. It has to give space to voices of the countries which have something different to say and not just hear but also somewhat heed,” she added.

  • Special news: Andhra Pradesh’s election winds water on the hopes of shrimp farmers of Gujarat

    Special news: Andhra Pradesh’s election winds water on the hopes of shrimp farmers of Gujarat

    Ahmedabad, 10 April (Hindustan). The shrimp farmers of Gujarat are facing one trouble after another. After the Corona epidemic, the business that somehow stood up has been hit once again. Assembly elections are due in Andhra Pradesh by the middle of next year and the government has reduced the power tariff for shrimp farmers there from Rs 4 to Rs 1.50. Worried about this, the shrimp farmers of Gujarat have also demanded the Gujarat government to reduce the electricity rate from Rs.8 to Rs.3 to Rs.4 per unit. Prawn growers have written a letter in this regard to the officials of the Fisheries Department, expressing their grief.

    From shrimp production to exports, the concern of the shrimp producing farmers of Gujarat has increased. It is now challenging for brackish water shrimp farmers to stay competitive with costly seed, feed and expensive electricity. In Andhra Pradesh, which challenged Gujarat in shrimp production, the government there, while throwing the election dice, gave relief to the shrimp producing farmers. There the electricity rate was reduced from Rs 4 to Rs 1.50. Due to this, there has been a thunderbolt on the shrimp producers of South Gujarat including Gujarat.

    The Gujarat Aquaculture Association, an organization of prawn producers, has written a letter to the authorities requesting it. The association says that the shrimp producers of Gujarat were already facing many challenges, now they will have to face a new challenge.

    this will be the effect

    In 100 to 150 villages of South Gujarat, people there produce prawns. By plotting the barren land on the sea shore, the government has provided land to the prawn growers. About 1900 farmers are involved in shrimp production on 25000 acres of land in Gujarat. Due to this 1.5 lakh people got employment. Labor accounts for 10 percent of the shrimp production worth about Rs 2,000 crore. Means the workers get about 200 crore rupees. It is considered a major source of employment.

    Producers say that 5 to 6 units are spent in producing one kg of shrimp. Due to this, while the cost to the farmers of Andhra Pradesh will be Rs 7 to 8, the farmers of Gujarat will have to spend Rs 35. Apart from this, their seeds and food are also cheap due to the hatchery being in Andhra Pradesh.

    Our demand has been unheard for four-five years

    Dr. Manoj Sharma of Gujarat Aquaculture Association Surat says that the barren land of Gujarat’s sea coast is spewing gold through shrimp production. Crores of rupees are exported annually, thousands of people have got employment. Due to the neglect of the government, we are going backward in the country. Our input cost is increasing because electricity is cheaper in Andhra. We are falling behind in the competition. For the last 4-5 years, we have been continuously drawing the attention of the government towards this, but we are not being listened to.

  • Surat: Fortune Nutrition Program is the hallmark of safe motherhood

    Surat: Fortune Nutrition Program is the hallmark of safe motherhood

    India is the first country in the world where one day of the year is dedicated for the safety of women. April 11 is celebrated as National Safe Motherhood Day i.e. National Safe Motherhood Day. Today we will talk about the nutrition program of Safe Motherhood nutritionist Fortune. In this, all the activities from the investigation of pregnant women to the maintenance of the family have been included.

    The surprising thing is that all these efforts are being done by Adani Foundation in remote areas. Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful phases of a woman’s life, but they can also be difficult if not taken care of in time.

    Wahidaben Jaimalbhai Vasava of Narmada district lost her first child to miscarriage when she was pregnant last year. “I had a painful miscarriage because of sickle cell anemia,” says Wahidaben. “When I found out I was pregnant, I was worried about the baby and my health.”

    Many rural women like Waheedaben go through a similar ordeal. This concern is often faced by pregnant women. This results in a lack of awareness about what to do before, during and after childbirth. An outcome-oriented dialogue about this National Safe Motherhood Day is celebrated every year on 11th April in India.

    The Fortune Suposhan – An initiative of Adani Wilmar and operated by Adani Foundation in the hinterland of India. The main objective of which is to make families aware about proper diet, nutrition, facilities of government schemes for pregnant women. Waheedaben shares “I am a mother of a 23-month-old healthy baby girl. I will be forever grateful to SuPoshan Sangini Anishaben Vasava for standing by me through my pregnancy. From regular counseling and follow-ups to stress reduction techniques, Anishaben Became Waheeda’s companion during her pregnancy.

    Anishaben says, Wahidaben had sickle cell anemia and was losing a lot of weight. Hemoglobin levels had dropped to around 10%, which scared her husband and in-laws. He adds, Adani Foundation supported and counseled Waheedaben and her family during her second pregnancy. These include expert counselling, teaching the family how to cook nutritious meals and stress relief such as pranayama. Guidance was provided on mitigation techniques. When we saw Wahidaben’s child, our happiness knew no bounds.

    Over the years many Suposhan Sanginis have been working tirelessly to provide antenatal and postnatal care to young mothers under this initiative. Providing guidance on postnatal care.

    Every year more than 3 crore women become mothers in India, out of which more than 45,000 women die during childbirth every year. The global figures for maternal mortality are even higher and are a cause of great concern. Such programs being run for safe motherhood are a boon for many women.
