Kerala BSNL

The SLP filed by BSNL challenging the Ernakulam HC order on transfer of Sri MSS Rao is allowed by the Hon Supreme Court. Hon Ernakulam HC directed that Sri M S S Rao shall be permitted to continue as CGM, Kerala for 2 months. Since Sri L. Anantharam was already joined as CGM, Kerala on 23.09.2015, BSNL approached the Hon SC by filing the SLP. BSNL pleaded that Mr Rao is in the Agreed list and he cannot be continued as CGM which is a sensitive post. More than that industrial unrest is going on in the Circle which he could not resolve as CGM. In any case, he cannot be continued as CGM. BSNL informed the Hon SC that Sri M S S Rao who is under compulsory wait will be posted as Principal, RTTC, Trivandrum and will ensure that it is not a lower post. This proposal is accepted by the Hon Supreme Court.

BSNL engaged Addl Solicitor General (ASG) to plead the case in the Hon SC.

53 Historians issue statement against Intolerance in the country

29 Thursday Oct 2015

Posted by VAN NAMBOODIRI in General

≈ Leave a comment

53 top historians in the country including Professors Romila Thapar (New Delhi), Irfan Habib (Aligarh Muslim University), M.G.S.Narayanan (Kozhikode),K.N.Panikkar (Thiruvananthapuram), have expressed their extreme unhappiness at the increasing intolerance in the country and requested for an atmosphere allowing free expression of thought.

This is a strong indictment of the communal tension being created and against the murders of intellectuals who expressed their opinions on various issues, which the fundamentalists could not digest.

More and more such condemnations  against the intolerance in the country are required.

Nepal, Women President

8cafb41f55d3d938970dfd1896b8034f

A Communist leader who has long campaigned for women’s rights was elected on Wednesday as Nepal’s first female President.

Bidhya Devi Bhandari of the Communist Party of Nepal Unified Marxist-Leninist received 327 votes against her opponent’s 214 in the Parliament on Wednesday, Parliament Speaker Onsari Gharti announced.

Ceremonial head

The President is the ceremonial head in Nepal while the Prime Minister is the nation’s leader.

Ms. Bhandari (54) is the deputy leader of the party led by Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli, who was elected earlier this month and leads a coalition government. The new Constitution adopted last month required Nepal to name a new President.

Ms. Bhandari is an active campaigner for women’s rights in Nepal and was among the politicians who campaigned for ensuring women’s rights in the new Constitution. The document says one-third of the members in parliament have to be women and either the President or Vice-President must be a woman.

Leading poitical figure

The new President has been a leading political figure since her husband Madan Bhandari, who was then leader of the party, was killed in a still unsolved car accident in 1993.

She also led many demonstrations against the then King Gyanendra in 2006 that finally ended his authoritarian rule and restored democracy.(AP)
