IMD teams up with BSNL to send extreme weather warnings
New Delhi, May 27
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is teaming up with state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to send extreme weather warnings to people, a senior Ministry of Earth Sciences official said.
The move comes after the IMD came under criticism from several quarters, including some state governments for not sending out specific alerts, a charge denied by the weather body.
“The IMD is trying to team up with BSNL to push the alerts to common people. The BSNL has come up with a technology. If the IMD sends an alert, they will pass it on to all BSNL numbers in Delhi (about an impending extreme weather event warning like thunderstorm, dust storm, heatwave),” M Rajeevan, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences told PTI.
The area specific alerts will be sent to users if they are in that particular place where the extreme weather pattern is going to occur, even if their phone numbers do not belong to that particular telecom circle. For instance, a ..
Cost of prosecuting Hafiz Saeed too great: Ex-ISI chief Durrani
New Delhi, May 27
The cost of prosecuting Mumbai terror attacks mastermind and banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) head Hafiz Saeed is too great, says former ISI chief Asad Durrani.
"If you prosecute Saeed, the first reaction will be: it's on India's behalf, you're hounding him, he's innocent, etc. The political cost is big, now," he says.
Durrani, 77, mentions this in a new book in which he features in conversation with former RAW chief A S Dulat and the two discuss topics including everything related to India-Pakistan ties: the surgical strikes, Kulbhushan Jadhav, Nawaz Sharif, Kashmir and Burhan Wani.
When Dulat asks him, what is Saeed's value to Pakistan, Durrani replies, "The cost of prosecuting him is too great".
Saeed, who carries a $10 million American bounty for his role in terror activities, was under house arrest from January to November last year.
The JuD is believed to be the front organisation for the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which is responsible ..
Powerful cyclone strikes Oman, Yemen; 6 dead, 30 missing
Salalah (Oman), May 27
A cyclone more powerful than any previously recorded in southern Oman slammed into the Gulf country and neighbouring Yemen on Saturday, deluging a major city with nearly three years’ worth of rainfall in single day.
The storm killed at least six people while more than 30 remain missing, officials said.
Cyclone Mekunu caused flash flooding that tore away whole roadways and submerged others in Salalah, Oman’s third-largest city, stranding drivers. Strong winds knocked over street lights and tore away roofing.
Rushing waters from the rain and storm surges flooded typically dry creek beds. The holiday destination’s now-empty tourist beaches were littered with debris and foam from the churning Arabian Sea.
Three people, including a 12-year-old girl, died in Oman, and another two bodies were recovered from the Yemeni island of Socotra. More than 30 people were still missing in Socotra, including Yemeni, Indian and Sudanese nationals.

Nicaragua protesters dig in as 8 more killed
Managua, May 27
Hundreds of protesters dug in around Nicaragua today, blocking roads as at least eight more people were killed in a 24-hour period.
Unrest has resumed since week-long church-mediated talks between the government and opposition to quell a month of violence broke down late on Wednesday.
Hundreds of demonstrators in the north, center and south of the Central American nation were blocking highways on Saturday, demanding Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, stand down.
Since protests began on April 18 at least 83 people have been killed and more than 860 wounded, police and rights activists say.
Four people were killed on Friday, and another four by mid-day Saturday, police and family members said.
Ortega, a former Sandinista guerrilla who first ruled between 1979 and 1990 before returning as president 11 years ago, had kept power by maintaining leftist rhetoric while ensuring an accommodation with powerful private industry and keeping up trade wi..

New lava flow advances towards Hawaii geothermal plant
Honolulu, May 26
A broad lava flow cascaded towards a Hawaii geothermal power station on Saturday, posing a new hazard as molten rock from the erupting Kilauea volcano bulldozed relentlessly through homes and backyards.
The lava was less than half a mile from the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV), according to the US Geological Survey, having destroyed dozens of nearby houses in the past few days.
Since Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano began a once-in-a-century-scale eruption May 3, authorities have shutdown the plant, removed 60,000 gallons of flammable liquid and deactivated wells that tap into steam and gas deep in the Earth’s core.
Magma has drained from Kilauea’s summit lava lake and flowed around 25 miles (40 km) east underground, bursting out of about two dozen giant cracks or fissures near the plant.
“The flow from fissures 21 and 7 was widening and advancing,” Janet Snyder, a spokeswoman for the County of Hawaii, said in an email on the position of lava..
Japan ex-PM Nakasone, witness to war and success, turns 100
Tokyo, May 27
One of Japan’s most prominent former leaders, Yasuhiro Nakasone, has turned 100, fitting in a country known for longevity.
As a World War II naval officer, he witnessed the depth of Japan’s defeat and devastation. He presided over Japan in the 1980s at the pinnacle of its economic success.
In recent years, he has lobbied for revision of the war-renouncing, US-drafted constitution, a longtime cause neither he nor his successors have achieved.
His office says Nakasone, cared for by his daughter at their Tokyo home, is slowing down but in fine health.
In his written statement marking his birthday today, Nakasone says he is blissful to have worked for Japan’s postwar reconstruction and witnessed success.
He also vows to do more work. — AP..

Chandigarh, May 26
An Akali bastion for 20 years is now being eyed by the ruling Congress! No wonder the stakes for both the parties are high in the Shahkot bypoll, scheduled for Monday. Almost the entire Punjab Council of Ministers remained on their toes at Shahkot to campaign for the party candidate, while Sukhbir Singh Badal, Akali Dal supremo, himself led his party campaign from the front.
With curtains coming down on the high- pitched campaign on Saturday, the spin doctors in both parties went in for “vote management”. From allegations of illicit liquor being smuggled to woo voters to money being distributed, the “vote management” tactics have been at full play since Friday evening. While the Akali Dal accused the Congress of distributing illicit liquor, the ruling party on Saturday got raids conducted on a house, where Akali leaders had gathered, in the hope of finding unaccounted cash, meant to be distributed to voters, but all in vain.

Now, BSP chief’s kin can’t hold party posts
tribune News Service
Lucknow, May 26
In an attempt to free the BSP of the blame of dynastic rule, party national president Mayawati on Saturday amended the party’s constitution barring close relatives of party president from holding organisational posts.
During the BSP national executive, she announced that her brother Anand Kumar, who had become BSP’s national vice president after the Assembly poll reversal last year, will now remain an ordinary member of the party. She said in future no national president, including her, would appoint any close relative for any organisational post of the party. However, they were free to work as ordinary members.
According to Mayawati, she decided on this following charge that like other parties the BSP was also succumbing to dynastic rule abandoning the principles of its founder Kanshi Ram. The pressure from other siblings and family members for party posts was another reason for taking this tough decision, she said.
Meanwhile, the national executi..

The over 7-km-long picturesque track, between Katra and Adhkuwari, was opened to pilgrims less than two weeks ago. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 19.
In the past 13 days (May 13-25), nearly 20,000 on-foot pilgrims used the Tarakote Marg for their journey to the holy cave shrine and back to Katra.

Five minutes into a free-wheeling conversation with Punjab film industry’s best actor-comedians BN Sharma, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Karamjit Anmol and Binnu Dhillon, and you’d be complaining of stomach ache. You’d try hard to hold back those so called tears of laughter descending like a waterfall.
While you’d be shifting in your seat, throwing your head back and forth, these four actor comedians from Carry On Jatta 2, would be completely poker-faced. Creating laughter is the most difficult thing, and the four best here agree to it whole heartedly.
Shelf life of a joke
“Let’s begin with a joke. Sometimes I share a joke on Whatsapp, and the same joke comes back to me only in a forward message,” this one comes from Binnu Dhillon, “this is the shelf life of a joke...” “And we have to whip up puns and one- liners in each film, in every scene,” Gurpreet Ghuggi completes the sentence as Karamjit Anmo..

The former Mehatpur SHO, who is currently under arrest, had even launched personal attacks at the Chief Minister.
Just two days ahead of the bypoll, the Chief Minister, who had earlier accused Bajwa of working at the behest of the Opposition and even shared his call details with the media, has completely changed his stand. “He was 10-year-old when he lost his father (who too was an inspector with the Punjab Police). He has seen many ups and downs in his life and is suffering from a bipolar disorder. I will tell the DGP to be sensitive towards him,” Capt said. Asked if he could be dismissed on medical grounds, the Chief Minister replied: “We cannot do this to a man who is not well. He can stay put. We have that facility. We will not sack him.” Recently, Le..

To this, the doctor replies "140/80," and she replies "its okay for me... normal."

The BJP has alleged the Shiv Sena roped in some criminals to distribute money to voters ahead of the Palghar Lok Sabha bypoll scheduled on Monday, and said it would complain about it to the Election Commission.
"The BJP is going to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission that the Sena has brought 1,000 people from (neighbouring) Thane, Mumbai and Kalyan who are staying illegally in Palghar even after the campaigning is over, and they are distributing money (to voters)," BJP leader Ravindra Chavan told PTI.
