EVM,NRI,LowerHouse,Court_ruling,UN&May_day

Dear all,
Welcome. Today is May Day & also known as Labour day.
EVMs: After successful utilization of Electronic voting machines (EVMs) during the ongoing general elections, it is being popular all over the world. Nambia, African country, had purchased around 3,400 EVMs from Bharat Electronics Ltd.(BEL). Officials state that during past year, contract worth 1,700 EVMs was given, which costs roughly 60 crore INR(1 crore dollar).   
NRI/PIO: US Federal Court had convicted three Indians for committing fraud in medical profession. Criminal division Asst.Attorney had stated that license for practising was not along with them. They had done treatment in Health service providing company for a period of three years. During the trial, it was found that report was prepared for those patients whose treatment was not done.

Lower House Head: Meira Kumar had approached Patna High Cour for taking possession of her land i.e. 81 decimil upon which building had been constructed. In her first petition, it was stated that District Council had made road without taking her permission. No compensation was paid too. The land belong to her father, Jagjivan Ram.
 
Court ruling:
1. Sahara: Sahara chief, who is in prison since past two months, had requested for conducting early hearing by Supreme Court citing heat wave. The apex court had heard his counsel argument after his petition was filed and had kept its verdict safe on April 21. The petition further seeks to change other terms for release of Subrata Roy & two other Directors. They are held captive since past March 4. The apex Court had put term of depositing amount worth 10,000 crore INR as part payment towards investors money collected via OFCDs. It is to note that it amounted to 24,000 crore INR.
The request was made by Sahara chief's counsel while hearing in matter regarding spilling of ink on him. The Justice Bench had expressed concern about such incidents. The Court sought reply in an affidavit within a period of one month. The next hearing is put on July 14.
United Nations: Women folks entering Indian politics had been very difficult task. A study conducted by UN Women had stated that in India, 90% of women do not enter politics as they are more prone to physical & mental abuse. Indian women from Oppressed communities are targeted.
UN Indian representative for the UN Women group had stated that there are aplenty laws in this regard but despite them, they have to face violence, physical and mental abuse. They are more prone in their party itself. A study on women during past ten years in politics had revealed that no. of women getting party ticket has increased but their representation is less. They are provided ticket in weaker constituencies. UN supports women reservation as it only could help in challenging their stake.
With regards,

SEATTLE -- Police commanders laid out their strategy to clamp down on street chaos this May Day while still allowing people to exercise their free speech rights. They also reached out to more business owners this year, including merchants along the Pike/Pine corridor.
This May Day, Dave Nelson plans to keep serving pizza at his Capitol Hill restaurant even though an anti-capitalist march is staging just a block away. "It's just business as usual. I think that's the way to take it," Nelson said, who own Hot Mama's Pizza.
Last year.. protesters smashed windows at several capitol hill businesses following violent clashes with police. Nelson hopes it was a fluke, and won't happen again later this week.
"I don't think that anarchists would be targeting small businesses. The majority of the businesses up here are locally owned small businesses," he said.
Seattle police are working to avoid a repeat of the street chaos while still respecting protesters' rights.
"I want people to know that we really truly want them to come downtown and express their free speech," said Capt. Chris Fowler, who along with Assistant Chief Paul McDonagh is overseeing the Seattle Police Department's May Day operations. For now, the plan is to allow demonstrators to occupy streets, stop traffic, and potentially even surround cars. Police say there are limits.
"If you're here to cause problems or hurt people, we're going to take that very seriously," McDonagh said, clarifying that any serious property crime or acts of violence will result in arrests.
The Downtown Seattle Association is activating an email service the day of the march. More than 220 business owners have signed up for the alerts through a system called EventTrac.
"We're able to send real time emails to businesses and property owners who are on the parade route or in the area where people are protesting," said Kate Joncas of the Downtown Seattle Association.
Seattle Central Community College is canceling 79 classes and closing early, before two anti-capitalist marches begin.
Other businesses are taking in sidewalk tables and chairs so protesters have fewer things to throw through storefronts. Nelson hopes any problems just pass by.
"There could be some protesting for sure," he said. "I don't think it needs to be a violent, anti-capitalist day."
There is a workers' rights rally that starts at Judkins Park, and while police will be there, it's generally peaceful. The bigger concerns are two un-permitted, anti-capitalist marches that start after 6 p.m.
