/0 Comments/in , , /by

Hyderabad’s Nukkad Shops has entered Punjab with their new Launch Aspire. “Aspire is a machine which runs with a software that allows shop keepers to file GST, generate E-Bill and even get to know neighborhood stores”, says Vivek Shukla.

Varanasi-born Vivek Shukla founded Nukkad Shops in 2016 along with three other founders Niranjan Kumar, Kulashekar Reddy and Vinodh Nair.

Shukla told that Aspire is affordable and also allows shopkeepers to take their store online. Shopkeepers doesn’t have to spend money on paying for an accountant as Aspire will do the billings and filing as well.

Small neighbourhood grocery stores have unconsciously been left behind in terms of technology.

Shukla has come up with a perfect solution for them with Aspire which costs Rs 35,000. Thereafter shopkeeper has to pay Rs 500 per month for the software of machine.

 

“We started toying with the idea at the end of 2015 and by beginning of 2016 we started exploring the concept in a full-fledged manner. We first built a high-end product called the Nukkad Shops Elite – targeted for bigger supermarkets and completely different from the basic software that they normally use”, says Shukla.

The working of the company is pretty simple. Nukkad Shops provide the whole ecosystem for the retailer to become digitally independent. It provides smart point-of-sale devices, printer and software through which the owner can monitor the inventory and the purchaser will get a list of items available in the shop. It makes the whole billing system becomes seamless.

Nukkad shops provides customers with an App to book day-to-day groceries, get it home delivered and also keep an e-bill in case of return or exchange. It has three different solutions based on segmentation – Nukkad Shops Elite, Nukkad Shops Pro (segment B retail stores) and Nukkad Shops Aspire (segment C retail stores).

ओद्योगिक प्लाट नं 101 फिर काम ठप्प

कल आई बारिश की हलकी बौछार के बाद जहां धूल से रहत मिली वहीँ पंचकुला प्रशासन के विकास के दावों की कलई खुल गयी.

शहर की सड़कों में जहां गड्ढों में पानी पड़ा दिखा वहीँ शहर के सबसे अधिक रोज़गार का सृजन करने वाले ओद्योगिक क्षेत्र में पानी ठहरने से यातायात बहुत देर तक अवरुद्ध रहा. ट्रकों को आधा दिन तक सामन ले कर दूर दूर तक खड़े रहना पड़ा सामन की धुलाई न हो सकने के कर्ण मजदूर बेकार बैठे रहे.

प्रशासन की लापरवाही इस कदर है कि पहले भी कई बार इंडस्ट्रियल एरिया फेज 1 के प्लाट न. 101 के बहार हलकी बारिश से भी अव्यवस्था फ़ाइल् जाती है. जिस दिन भारी बारिश हुई फिर क्या होगा?

Troops to get ‘Full-Body Protectors’

/0 Comments/in , /by

 

THE Union Home Ministry has come out with new specifications for ‘full-body protectors’ for its paramilitary troops, seeking suits that are “resistant to chemicals such as kerosene, petrol, diesel and Molotov cocktail liquid” and able to “withstand temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius” for up to five hours.

Officials said while the suits would come in handy in all riot-like situations, the need for it was primarily felt due to the stone-pelting faced by CRPF men in Kashmir. The CRPF is the lead security force deployed to undertake law and order and counter-insurgency operations in J&K, along with the police and Army. While the CRPF already has a few full body protectors in J&K, these are far from enough.

Over 3,000 CRPF personnel have been injured in stone-pelting incidents and attacks by mobs in the Valley. This year, more than 600 incidents of stone-pelting had been recorded before the May 16 suspension of operations for Ramzan. There were 2,808 recorded incidents of stone-pelting against security forces in 2016, and 1,198 till November 2017.

The body protectors that the Home Ministry is looking for will have chest protectors, shoulder pads, upper arm guards, elbow and forearm guards, groin and shin guards. There would be three sizes, small, medium, large, with an overall weight of 6 kg, officials said.

“The protector shield of the full body protector shall withstand stab up to 65 joules and impact requirement of 100 joules. The shield should have a life of 6 years and should be made of camouflage/ disruptive pattern….,” as per the Home Ministry’s requirements.

A senior government officer said, “After trials, we have come out with detailed specifications. The purpose of the body protector would be to protect policeman from various types of missiles thrown at them by rioters. Such missiles range from stones or similar pieces of bricks/concrete, acid bulbs, bicycle chain, Molotov cocktails, firebombs made of petrol, diesel and kerosene….” Most of the CRPF men are hit either in the face, neck or legs during stone-pelting incidents. Several end up needing surgeries.

More troops of the CRPF and BSF are being moved to the Valley ahead of the Amarnath Yatra starting on June 28. Officials said they would deploy nearly 40,000 men to secure the route of the annual pilgrimage, which is expected to attract over three lakhs yatris this year.

No Eid Mubarak at Indo – Pak Border

An Army jawan was today killed as Pakistani troopers targeted a patrol party along LoC in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The latest instance of ceasefire violation comes after four Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, including an assistant commandant-rank officer, were killed in firing by Pakistani Rangers along the International Border in Samba district on June 13. “Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of mortars on routine Indian Army patrol, 700 metres inside Indian territory in Naushera sector along the Line of Control (LoC) this morning,” a senior Army officer told PTI. In the exchange of fire, Rifleman Bikas Gurung was grievously injured and succumbed to injuries. The 21-year-old soldier belonged to Khunka Khuki village of Manipur, and is survived by his mother.

The unprovoked ceasefire violation by Pakistan, especially on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, is highly unethical and unprofessional, the Army officer said, adding that the Indian troops exercised maximum restraint in spite of grave provocation. He added that the Army, however, has been forced to respond to the unprovoked firing and would give a befitting response at the time and place of its own choosing.

The Army also cancelled the exchange of sweets between the Pakistani Army and the Indian side on the occasion of Eid.

Eleven BSF troops have so far been killed in cross-border firing incidents along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir this year, the highest casualty figure for the border force in a year in the past five years, the latest data revealed.

Meanwhile, it was announced that there will be no exchange of sweets at Attari border between BSF and Pak Rangers on the occasion of Eid on Saturday.

There will not be any exchange of sweets at Attari border on the occasion of Eid, on Saturday, between the Border Security Force (BSF) troops and the Pakistani Rangers, as per sources.

This came in the light of simmering tension between India and Pakistan after the ceasefire violations in the Jammu region.

The sweet exchange between the two forces is a usual trend on the special occasions, such as Eid and Diwali.

According to the sources, Pakistani rangers showed interest in going ahead with the ritual, but BSF told them no.

Tension gripped the border areas after an incident in Samba region, where four BSF personnel were martyred.

The Border Security force (BSF) also confirmed confirmed the detention of two Pakistani nationals for crossing into India.

The BSF identified them as Sohail Kamar from Narwal District and Ahmed from Zafarwal Tehsil of Sialkot.

They were arrested on Friday evening.

“Puneri pagadi, a symbol of the pride and identity of the city” Sena

/0 Comments/in , , /by

NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s directive to the Pune unit of the party, to replace the Puneri pagadi used for felicitation with the turban that was used by social reformer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, has sparked a political controversy, with the Shiv Sena alleging that the NCP has insulted the “Puneri pagadi, a symbol of the pride and identity of the city”.

“The NCP chief has insulted the residents of Pune by seeking to replace the Puneri pagadi with another turban. There is always some hidden meaning in the action of the NCP chief and it will be revealed soon,” said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. The BJP, meanwhile, chose to remain mum on the issue.

NCP leader Jaidev Gaikwad hit back at the Sena, saying, “Mahatma Phule was from the city and he was a great social reformer who fought for social justice for the poor and those from the backward class. His turban should be considered a symbol of the revolution and reforms that are associated with the identity of the city. Pawar has made a much-needed correction by introducing the turban used by the social reformer…”

“There is no need to create controversy over it as the NCP is free to use the turban it wants and the other political parties can follow what they want… in fact, objections by opposition parties indicate that they follow the ideology of a specific community,” he said.

The BJP, meanwhile, responded cautiously to the issue. “We will not be vocal about the debate on the Puneri pagadi and the turban of Mahatma Phule… the party does not want to get into a controversy… it will follow the existing practice,” said BJP leader and Pune Mayor Mukta Tilak.

“There is no basis for speculation that the NCP is joining the government in Delhi,” Prafulla Patel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

 

Senior NCP leader Praful Patel on Monday denied reports that the Nationalist Congress Party was going to join the NDA government. “There is no basis for speculation that the NCP is joining the government in Delhi,” Patel said on Twitter. The tweet followed reports that his party was likely to join the Narendra Modi-led government and could also get a cabinet berth in the next reshuffle. The speculation was sparked by a perceived closeness between NCP supremo Sharad Pawar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Pawar, who before the 2014 general elections had said it was difficult to “accept” Modi as the prime minister, now enjoys a good equation with him.

At an event last year, Modi expressed his respect for Pawar, who, he said, had helped him in his initial years in politics.

There has been talk of an imminent cabinet expansion, especially in view of vacancies in two key portfolios –defence and Urban Development.

RSS – BJP Make Major Changes in Organisation in UP

/0 Comments/in , , /by

 

Following recent defeats for the BJP in bypolls in Uttar Pradesh, the RSS on Saturday made some key changes in the posts of organisation secretaries of the party’s regional units in the state by replacing BJP appointees with RSS pracharaks. Sources said the decision to make the changes was taken in the ongoing meeting of organisation secretaries convened by the RSS in Surajkund, Haryana.

The organisation secretary is a key link between the party and the Sangh. The organisation secretaries replaced are Shiv Kumar Pathak (Gorakhpur region), Om Prakash (Kanpur-Bundelkhand) and Braj Bahadur (Awadh) — all three are BJP leaders. Ratnakar, who was the RSS ‘vibhag pracharak’ of Kashi (Varanasi) region and was thus far organisation secretary of Kashi region, was given additional charge of Gorakhpur region. His centre of work will remain Kashi.

Pradumn, earlier vibhag prachark in Rajasthan, was appointed organisation secretary for Awadh region. He was in-charge of different cells of the BJP in UP so far. Bhawani Singh, earlier vibhag pracharak of Agra and so far organisation secretary of Braj region, has been given charge of Kanpur-Bundelkhand too. His centre will remain Agra.

The roles of BJP leaders who were asked to step down will be decided later, it was informed. A BJP leader said that the influence of the RSS in decision-making in the party at the regional level will increase now with appointment of RSS pracharaks. “They will have a key role in BJP organisation ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. They will also have a say in restructuring of the party organisation,” the leader said.

ग्रीस में राष्ट्रपति का ज़ोरदार स्वागत, वह क्यूबा और सूरीनाम भी जायेंगे

/0 Comments/in , , /by

 

राष्ट्रपति रामनाथ कोविंद शनिवार को ग्रीस, सूरीनाम और क्यूबा की आठ दिवसीय यात्रा पर रवाना हो गए हैं। राष्ट्रपति कार्यालय ने ट्वीट किया, ‘राष्ट्रपति के तौर पर यह कोविंद की चौथी और अफ्रीका से बाहर पहली अधिकारिक यात्रा है। वह सूरीनाम और क्यूबा की यात्रा करने वाले पहले भारतीय राष्ट्रपति होंगे। वहीं राष्ट्रपति अब्दुल कलाम के वर्ष 2007 में ग्रीस की यात्रा करने के बाद वह इस देश की यात्रा करने वाले पहले राष्ट्रपति हैं।’

राष्ट्रपति रामनाथ कोविंद अपने दौरे के पहले पड़ाव यानी ग्रीस पहुंच चुके हैं। जहां उनका गर्मजोशी से स्वागत किया गया। उनकी पत्नी सविता के अलावा, राष्ट्रपति के साथ केंद्रीय इस्पात राज्य मंत्री विष्णु देव, लोकसभा सदस्य दिनेश कश्यप और नित्यानंद राय और वरिष्ठ अधिकारी भी इन देशों की यात्रा पर गए हैं। ग्रीस में, कोविंद राष्ट्रपति प्रोकोपिस पावलोपोलुस, प्रधानमंत्री एलेक्सी सिप्रास और विपक्ष के नेता कायरिआको मित्सोटाकिस के साथ बैठक करेंगे।

कोविंद वहां ग्रीस के मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारियों से भी मुलाकात करेंगे और ग्रीस के अग्रणी थिंकटैंक, हैलेनीक फाउंडेशन फॉर यूरोप एंड फॉरेन पॉलिसी में ‘बदलते विश्व में भारत और यूरोप’ के मुद्दे पर भाषण देंगे। भारत और ग्रीस के बीच द्विपक्षीय व्यापार 53 करोड़ डॉलर का है और कुछ भारतीय कंपनियां इस मध्य यूरोपीय देश में आधारभूत, फर्मास्युटिकल इस्पात क्षेत्र में मौजूद हैं।

कोविंद ग्रीस में 12,000 भारतीय प्रवासी समुदाय को भी संबोधित करेंगे। ग्रीस के बाद, कोविंद 19 जून को सूरीनाम जाएंगे, जोकि भारत के राष्ट्रपति का पहला दौरा होगा। कोविंद की सूरीनाम और क्यूबा दौरे को भारत के लैटिन अमेरिकी देशों को ज्यादा महत्व देने के नजरिए से देखा जा रहा है। सूरीनाम में वह स्वास्थ्य और सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी के क्षेत्र में कुछ समझौतों पर हस्ताक्षर कर सकते हैं।

सूरीनाम की 33 प्रतिशत आबादी भारतीय मूल के लोगों की है। कोविंद यहां विवेकानंद संस्कृति केंद्र की आधारशिला भी रखेंगे। 21 जून को, कोविंद वहां अंतर्राष्ट्रीय योग दिवस पर कार्यक्रमों में शामिल होंगे। सूरीनाम के बाद, वह अपने प्रतिनिधिमंडल के साथ क्यूबा जाएंगे, जोकि किसी भी भारतीय राष्ट्रपति का पहला दौरा होगा।
