She is Dr Vatsala Agarwal.
In August last year, she was appointed Director General Health Services of Delhi. She wasted no time and immediately started buying medicines and equipments at highly inflated rates by allegedly manipulating the tender processes, misusing hundreds of crores in public funds. By the time the Delhi police arrested her today, she had already allegedly created a health scam worth 600 crores.
Almost everyone in govt service, from top to bottom, seems to make massive money whenever an opportunity arises. Imagine the scale of systemic corruption if a single official can siphon off 600 crore rupees in less than a year. And it's not like she was honest for her 30 years of service till now, and suddenly turned corrupt; she only got caught now. Her life long scam would be much more than 600 crores.
It is truly surprising that India continues to grow despite such staggering leaks in the system.
Just got to know that Kunal Shah who is going to lead WhatsApp globally is just a B.A. in Philosophy from Mumbai.
Must be only person who joined a tech company with a BA degree. Indian talents now don't even need a big degree to attract big techs, being an Indian itself is enough.
Wish our Govt also valued our talents as much as foreign companies do.
But
> not building footpath is Govts and road contractor's fundamental right
> encroaching existing footpath is roadsides shop's fundamental rights
> Allowing footpath encroachment is traffic Police's fundamental right
So, to exercise your fundamental right to walk on footpath, you've to violate so many people's fundamental rights which itself isn't right.
See, I know being on time is extremely important, but we can never predict what life might throw at us.
What if someone is late because of a genuinely unavoidable situation?
If a candidate arrives late, they'll already lose some time for the exam, that itself is a penalty. But not allowing them to attempt the exam at all feels incredibly harsh.
An entire year's worth of hard work, preparation, and sacrifices often come down to that one exam. Denying someone the chance to even sit for it because of a few minutes' delay can be heartbreaking.
Crude oil is now at $77 and with 20% ethanol, it is around $62 which is below the price when west Asia war started. Now how long public will keep paying 10% extra on petrol and 20-30% extra on other daily expenses?
This is what they do, they'll not reduce the petrol price when crude oil price is less and when crude price increases they'll increase the petrol price, and then advertise that we have increased least in the world. They think we don't know basic math.
The Govt has banned Telegram in India until June 22 over the use of the app by 'cheating rackets' for NEET-UG.
The Babu or the minister whose "big brain" idea this was should get the Param-Chaantt award.
They are assuming that the cheating network and their clients don't understand what a VPN is and can't access Telegram through one.
They think that because the paper was shared on Telegram last time, if it is leaked, it will only be shared on Telegram again. Are Discord, Signal, and WhatsApp a joke to them?
So, why not make your system foolproof and make leaks impossible instead of banning a mode of communication? Because it's a slippery slope. If the paper leaks and is shared tomorrow, you'll ban other apps too, and eventually the whole internet. But then again, papers were leaked and shared long before the internet era, too.
Only if Nitin Gadkari fixed the bad roads as passionately as he promotes Ethanol, India would be importing far less oil and saving a lot more public money, time, human lives and environment.
A 42-year-old man was arrested on Monday for allegedly killing his three daughters with a sharp weapon in Giridih district, police said.
The accused was identified as Nandu Yadav, a resident of Turukdiha village. Police said the victims were Yadav's eldest daughter Pallavi, 16, and 7-year-old twin sisters Riddhi and Siddhi.
"He was arrested shortly after the incident," said Jeetvahan Oraon, sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), who visited the spot where the bodies were found lying in a pool of blood. Police said his wife, Radha Devi, and their youngest child, 4-year-old son Pantu, were at home, when Yadav killed his daughters around 6 am.
Devi told police her husband returned home drunk on Sunday night. She said she helped him bathe, served him dinner and he went to sleep. On Monday morning, she noticed he was unusually quiet. "I asked him why he drank so much, but he did not respond," she said.
Devi said she became busy with household chores when Yadav took the three girls into a room, locked it from inside and told the family the children needed to study and that he would teach them. A short while later, he came out and allegedly confessed he had killed them.
Police said the girls' throats were slit using a sharp-edged tool used for cutting grain.
"I don't know why he killed them. My daughters were innocent and good children," Devi said.
During interrogation, Nandu claimed "a ghost possessed him" and that he did not know what he had done. He also said a year ago he ate meat and was thereafter possessed, adding that it was "God's plan".
Devi also alleged an extramarital relationship may be behind the killings. A forensic team collected blood samples and other evidence. Police said the suspected weapon was recovered. "We are investigating the circumstances and motive," the SDPO said.

India’s fertility rate has gone below replacement. Two people aren’t producing two people to replace them.
Most metro couples are opting for just one kid. Not coz of a lifestyle choice, but sheer affordability.
Such is the school fees that having two kids is like having two home loans. The EMI for which will keep increasing. The love of the sibling is being replaced by a dog or the Internet. We are going to be old as a nation, before we get rich. Tough.
