20:49 Maha to slap fines for breach of Covid norms

With the new coronavirus variant 'Omicron' causing worldwide concern, the Maharashtra government on Saturday announced penalties for not following COVID appropriate behaviour.

As to rules for international travelers, state chief secretary Sitaram Kunte told PTI that the government was working on it in collaboration with the Mumbai civic body and Union health ministry.

All travelers from foreign countries shall be governed by directions of the Union government while domestic travelers arriving in the state shall either be fully vaccinated or carry a negative RT-PCR test report valid for 72 hours, said an official notification.

Any person not following CAB will be fined Rs 500, new guidelines issued by the government said. If such violation by a person takes place on the premises of an organization which is supposed to impose CAB, it will be fined Rs 10,000.

If any organisation itself fails to follow CAB, it will face a fine of Rs 50,000, and frequent violations of rules will lead to its closure for the period of the pandemic.

20:29 Dead man wins panchayat poll in Bihar!

A dead man has won a panchayat poll held on Wednesday riding on a sympathy wave generated by his own death.

The real-life tragicomedy was detected in this impoverished district, situated about 200 km from the state capital, when officials were handing over certificates to candidates who won the polls held on November 24.

Sohan Murmu, who won ward no. 2 of Deepakarhar village, falling under Khaira block, was nowhere to be found.

"On enquiry, we learnt that Murmu had died on November 6, more than a fortnight before voting took place," Khaira BDO Raghavendra Tripathi said with a sense of bewilderment.

Deepakarhar happens to be a remote hamlet situated along the state's border with Jharkhand, which perhaps explains the demography of the village which has a predominantly tribal population.

Old residents also recall that it was this village which was first hit by Maoist activity, in the 1990s, in the district that later became one of the worst infested by ultra-Left insurgency, according to a list published by the Union home ministry a few years ago.

Nonetheless, Tripathi's account of what has happened suggests that the village and its residents retain an amazing simplicity, bordering on downright sentimentality. -- PTI
