Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the Italian parliament that Russia's attack on Ukraine risks causing famine in other countries around the world by disrupting food exports from Ukraine. He urged greater international help to defeat Russian invaders. Zelenskyy said the consequences of the war were already being felt globally and that some countries may face famine if Ukraine is unable to sow crops due to Russian artillery strikes. Meanwhile, the Kremlin said it wants more "active and substantial" negotiations with Ukraine to end Russia's military action, and a Russian journalist donated his Nobel Peace Prize medal to help raise funds for Ukrainian refugees.

Jaipur: A Nigerian
woman travelling on a
fake visa was detained
at the Jaipur Airport
late on Monday. She
came from Dubai and
when Immigration De-
partment officials in-
vestigated, the visa was
found to be fake. Also,
there was no record
available with the de-
partment about the visa
of the woman.
Probe revealed that
the woman, with a fake
student visa, was to
board a flight to Delhi.
The Immigration De-
partment is preparing
to deport her. Mean-
while, the Customs De-
partment also swung
into action. In the past,
three citizens of Afri-
can origin were arrest-
ed for smuggling drugs
and there is an alert at
airports across the
country
.
Considering this, the
woman’s connection
with a drug racket can-
not be ruled out.

I am stunned by the death of 10
innocent people in the violence that took
place in Rampurhat in Birbhum district
of West Bengal. This incident proves
that the Mamata government has no
control over law and order. I strongly
condemn this incident and demand
strict action against the culprits.
TOP TWEETS
PETROL, DIESEL,
LPG PRICES MOVE
UP, MAY SEE A
FURTHER RISE
uel prices have been
jacked up after a hia-
tus of four months
and more such in-
creases may follow.
The increase in retail price of
diesel should be seen together
with the price of bulk diesel
which was hiked by Rs 25 per
litre on Sunday. Together, the
twin price rise of the commod-
ity will hurt the consumer hard.
Other than to grin and bear the
cost there’s little that a consum-
er can do.
These are unusual times and
globally fuel prices are on fire.
First, OPEC is not increasing
crude production and second,
US sanctions on Russia have
crippled oil supplies. Thanks to
India’s independent stand, Rus-
sian oil is still available to us but
it is only a small fraction of our
oil imports.
If the Ukraine crisis does not
abate and US sanctions on Rus-
sia are not lifted consumers will
have to brace up for a long ardu-
ous haul. The already high infla-
tionmaygofurthernorthwardto

F
tudents, don’t take
stress about the
high cut-offs in
Delhi University’s
colleges which, in
recent years, bordered on in-
sanity! And you also don’t
have to worry if the grades in
your last board exams were
just above average. In a land-
mark policy decision the Uni-
versity Grants Commission
hasdoneawaywiththecut-off
system and replaced it with a
common online entrance test
for all 45 central universities.
Based only on the results of
the Common University Ad-
mission Test (CUET), all cen-
tral universities will have to
admit students to under-grad-
uate courses. To make it more
convenient for students, the
computerised CUET will be
conducted in 13 languages.
The course material will be
from the CBSE syllabus.
The change not only pro-
vides a level playing field to
students, who need not be
proficient in computers as
even smart phones will be al-
lowed inside a test centre,
but also comes as a dose to
de-stress parents who detest-
ed the idea of their children
scoring not enough marks to
get admission in a good col-
lege. Anything less than 95
percent was unacceptable to
a large number of parents.
The UGC Chairman M.
Jagadesh Kumar is bullish
about state, private and
deemed universities to con-
sider CUET scores for admis-
sions. Kumar described as
“ridiculous” the 100 per cent
cut-off for admission in some
topuniversities.Kumarhoped
that students will be able to
focus more on learning now.
The change will also rein-in
different examination boards
like the ICSE and CBSE who
competed with one another
for extra lenient marking
leading to distortions in un-
dergraduate admissions.

hat is happening in Bangla-
desh? Despite repeated inci-
dents, the administration has
nottakensternandexemplary
steps and it is high-time, the
Indianauthoritiesshouldtake
up these cases seriously with
their counterparts in Bangla-
desh. This recent attack com-
ing close on the heels of The
Kashmir Files… is it a coinci-
dence or anything more to it?
It may be recalled that on
last Tuesday, members of the
General Assembly adopted a
resolution proposed by Paki-
stan to mark March 15, the
anniversary of the 2019 at-
tack on two mosques in New
Zealand that left 51 Muslims
dead, as International Day to
Combat Islamophobia.
France, the European Un-
ion (EU) and India had ob-
jected to the decision to de-
clare 15 March the Interna-
tional Day to Combat Islamo-
phobia, adopted by the UN.
InastatementtotheGeneral
Assembly
,theEUexpressedits
concernaboutthemultitudeof
internationaldaysandsaidthe
focus on Islamophobia was an
“unnecessaryrepetition”after
in 2019 the UN adopted August
22 as the International Day
Commemorating the Victims
of Acts of Violence Based on
Religion or Belief.
“Weareconcernedwiththe
approach of addressing only
one religion through a Gen-
eral Assembly initiative,” the
EU’s statement expressed.
Two days later, on March
17… a 200-strong mob on
Thursday allegedly vandal-
isedandlootedanIskconRad-
hakanta temple in Dhaka. At
least three members of the
templeat222,LalMohanSaha
Street, in Wari, Dhaka were
injuredintheattack.Themob
was reportedly spearheaded
by one Haji Shafiullah.
Back in Kolkata, slamming
the attack, vice-president,
Iskcon Kolkata, Radhara-
man Das, said: “Hindus have
to stop looking towards
namesake institutions like
the UN which is mute to the
cries of Hindus.”
Das tweeted… “It’s a very
unfortunate incident that
took place on the eve of Dol
Yatra Holi celebrations.
Just a few days ago, the Unit-
ed Nations had passed a reso-
lution declaring March 15 as
the International Day to
Combat Islamophobia.”
He went on to say
, “We are
surprisedthatthe(same)Unit-
ed Nations is mute on the suf-
fering of thousands of help-
less Bangladeshi Pakistani
minorities. So many of the
Hindu minorities have lost
their lives, properties, have
been raped, but alas, all the
United Nations can do is to
ponder upon Islamophobia.”
“Unlike October-Novem-
ber, when the attack hap-
pened in Noakhali… where
one Iskcon priest was killed
and police did not come, a
massive deployment of Bang-
ladesh police was rushed to
the spot, who drove the mob
away,” Das informed.
Last year, at least three
people were killed after vio-
lence took place after news
spread on social media that
the Quran was allegedly des-
ecrated at a Durga Puja pan-
dal near Nanuar Dighi lake
in Comilla town.
Earlier, similar incidents
were also reported from Tipu
Sultan Road in Dhaka and
Kotwali in Chittagong.
RECEIVING THREATS
FOR YEARS?
A couple of days after a mob
reportedly led by Haji Shafi-
ullah vandalised an Iskcon
temple in Dhaka, a temple of-
ficial said they had been “re-
ceiving” threats for years to
leave the temple.
Shafiullah had also report-
edly offered them money to
leave the temple, Rasmani
Keshavdas, the medical of-
ficer of Iskcon temple, told
news agency ANI.
Keshavdas, a witness of the
attack, also said, Shafiullah
and Sufi, along with 500-600
people, vandalised the tem-
ple’s wall. “Two of our people
were hit when they tried to
stop the mob,” he said.
He further stated that the
unruly mob was not even re-
pentant even before the cops.
“Police supported them. They
didn’t want to listen to us.
Theyaskedustoleavethetem-
ple but it’s ours. No arrests
havebeenmadeyet,”headded.
Meanwhile, RSS national
executivememberIndreshKu-
mar on Saturday condemned
the alleged incident of vandal-
ism at a temple in Bangladesh
and urged New Delhi to inter-
vene, saying the Sheikh Hasi-
nagovernmenthas“complete-
ly failed” in protecting the
minority Hindus there.
On every festival, Hindus
are targeted in Bangladesh
under a “pre-planned con-
spiracy”, the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
leader said, adding that the
community has faced 3,679
attacks, which include 1,678
cases of armed attacks and
vandalism at religious plac-
es, in the last nine years.
Citing a few incidents, he
said, “During Navaratri last
year, attacks were carried out
and around 200 houses of
Hindus were burnt, Durga
Puja pandals were vandal-
ised and the Iskcon temple in
Dhaka was also attacked.
“ThePrimeMinisterSheikh
Hasina government has com-
pletely failed in providing pro-
tection to minority Hindus in
Bangladesh. It is a horrifying
situation,” he alleged.
Seeking the intervention
of the Indian government,
Kumar said due to the “una-
bated targeting of Hindus” in
the neighbouring country,
the population of Hindus
there has “come down to 9 per
cent from 29 per cent in 1971”.
It is time Bangladesh PM
restrains these elements to
stop their atrocities on mi-
nority Hindus to display her
intentions of having an ami-
cable relationship with India
and also New Delhi has to
take the matter with utmost
seriousness to instill faith in
the Hindus living there.

Amaravati (ANI): The
suspense continues on
whether Jagan Mohan
Reddy-led government
in Andhra Pradesh
will table a revised Bill
for three state Capitals
in the Assembly during
the ongoing Budget
session.
That the YSR Con-
gress Party (YSRCP)
government has not
given up its plans de-
spite the recent adverse
judgment by the High
Court was evidentwhen
Finance Minister Bug-
gana Rajendranath told
the Legislative Council
on Monday that the gov-
ernment desires to have
three capitals, one in
each region, to ensure
inclusive and balanced
growth. Replying to a
query by some mem-
bers, he told the house
that the state has adopt-
ed the policy of decen-
tralisation to take ad-
ministration close to
the citizens. This, he
said, will bring the com-
mon man into the main-
stream of development.
With only three days
left for the ongoing
Budget session to come
to an end, all eyes are on
the government to see
whether it tables the re-
vised Bill in place of the
two Bills repealed last
year or keep the matter
in abeyance for now to
avoid any confrontation
with the judiciary
.
Assembly Speaker
Tammineni Sitaram
has already agreed to
the demand of YSRCP
legislators for a discus-
sion on decentralisa-
tion of development.
This is likely to be tak-
en up in a day or two.
During the discus-
sion, the government
may reiterate its com-
mitment to three capi-
tals policy and reveal
how it plans to achieve
the same.

ED searches premises linked to Nawab Malik in Kurla
Mumbai (PTI): The
Enforcement Directo-
rate (ED) officials on
Tuesday carried out a
survey at the Goawala
Building compound at
Kurla, in order to col-
lect details of the ten-
ants at the premises, in
connection with its on-
going probe in which
the agency had last
month arrested NCP
leader and minister
Nawab Malik.
According to the
agency officials, the ED
is ascertaining how
many of those who are
currently occupying
premises in the build-
ing are genuine accord-
ing to the original land
owner’s record and how
many of them were lat-
er introduced by Malik.
The compound is in Ma-
lik’s control.
Malik was arrested
by the ED on February
23 for allegedly hatch-
ing a criminal conspir-
acy for usurping one
Munira Plumber’s an-
cestral property in Kur-
la having current mar-
ket value of around Rs
300 crore. ED had
launched a money laun-
dering probe linked to
the activities of fugitive
gangster Dawood Ibra-
him and his aides fol-
lowing a case registered
by Nation Investigation
Agency (NIA) against
Dawood and his aides.
The ED had alleged
that Plumber’s proper-
ty was usurped by Ma-
lik through Solidus In-
vestments Private Lim-
ited, a company owned
by the family members
of Nawab Malik and
controlled by Nawab
Malik, with active con-
nivance of the mem-
bers of Dawood Ibra-
him gang including
Dawood’s sister Hasee-
na Parkar. Plumber in
her statement to the ED
had stated that she was
not aware that her prop-
erty was sold to Parkar
and Malik and that she
had not received any
consideration for the
property from any per-
son. The ED in its re-
mand application filed
against Malik last
month had stated, “In-
vestigations have re-
vealed that Nawab Ma-
lik introduced fake ten-
ants in the said proper-
ty to lower the registry
value of this land and
currently this property
is under ownership of
Solidus Investments
Private Limited which
is controlled by Nawab
Malik. Inspite of lower-
ing of the registry rate,
market value as per the
sale deed is Rs 3.3 crore
whereas total payment
made was only Rs 15
lakh by Nawab Malik.”
Nawab Malik - The minister in the dock: ED is ascertaining
how many of those who are currently occupying premises.
New Delhi: Shiv
Sena MP Sanjay
Raut lashed out at
the BJP on Tuesday
for misusing Cen-
tral agencies such
as the ED to malign
the image of the Shiv
Sena-led MVA government. He also admitted
that the party had made a “mistake” by accepting
the resignation of former state home minis-
ter Anil Deshmukh, who was nabbed by the ED
last November in an alleged money-laundering
case. “We have seen the kind of evidence
available against Deshmukh. His resignation
was taken in haste (in April 2021), and it was a
mistake. He was targeted and the central probe
agencies like CBI and ED were let loose against
him,” Raut said.
Mumbai: Bombay
HC directed the
BMC not to take any
action against Union
Minister Narayan
Rane until a deci-
sion is taken on his
application seeking
regularisation of the
alleged illegal al-
terations made in his

bench said that once
a decision has been

case of any adverse
order, no coercive
action against Rane’s
bungalow shall be
taken for a period of
3 weeks thereafter.

India’s air pollution
worsened in 2021, ac-
cording to the World
Air Quality Report re-
leased by IQAir, a Swiss
firm. This ends a three-
year trend of improv-
ing air quality. The av-
erage air pollution,
measured in the lethal
and microscopic PM2.5
pollutant, is 58.1 micro-
grams per cubic meter,
which is more than 10
times the World Health
Organisation’s (WHO)
air quality guidelines.
No city in India met the
WHO standard. North
India is worse. Delhi is
the world’s most pol-
luted capital for the
fourth consecutive year,
with pollution rising
almost 15 per cent over
the previous year. Air
pollution levels here
were almost 20 times
above the WHO’s safety
limits, with PM2.5
clocking in at 96.4 mi-
crograms per cubic me-
ter for the annual aver-
age. The safe limit is 5.
While Delhi’s air pol-
lution ranks at No. 4
globally, the world’s
most polluted place is
Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi,
followed by Uttar
Pradesh’s Ghaziabad on
Delhi’s eastern border.
Ten of the top 15 most
polluted cities are in In-
dia and mostly around
the national capital.
With 63, Indian cities
dominate the list of 100
most polluted places.
More than half are in
Haryana and Uttar
Pradesh. An air quality
‘life index’ developed by
the University of Chi-
cago shows that resi-
dents in Delhi and Luc-
know,forinstance,could
add about a decade to
their life expectancy if

WHO’s standards.
