इन दोनों विधायकों की कांग्रेस ने उन बागियों के रूप में 'पहचान' की है जो राजस्‍थान के मुख्‍यमंत्री पद से अशोक गहलोत (Ashok Gehlot) को बेदखल करने और उनकी जगह सचिन पायलट (Sachin Pilot) को सीएम बनाने का समर्थन कर रहे थे. राजस्थान पुलिस के स्‍पेशल ऑपरेशन ग्रुप (SOG) की 'खजाने की यह खोज (Treasure Hunt)' शुक्रवार को शुरू हुई थी जब एसओजी टीम को जयपुर से दिल्ली के पास हरियाणा के मानेसर (Manesar) के लिए रवाना किया गया था, यहां एक रिसॉर्ट में सचिन पायलट और उनके समर्थक बागी विधायक डेरा डाले हुए हैं. हालांकि SOG का मानेसर में स्‍वागत 'गर्मजोशी' से नहीं हुआ. हरियाणा पुलिस ने पायलट कैंप में इसके प्रवेश को रोकने के लिए 50 से अधिक पुलिसकर्मी भेजे. कांग्रेस ने कहा कि हरियाणा में सत्‍तारूढ़ बीजेपी की "मेहमाननवाजी" ने पायलट के उस 'कवर' को पूरी तरह से बेनकाब कर दिया है जिसमें उन्‍होंने (पायलट ने) घोषणा की थी कि वह "अभी भी कांग्रेस के साथ हैं." गौरतलब है कि दिसंबर 2018 में जब राजस्‍थान में कांग्रेस की सरकार बनी थी तो अशोक गहलोत को राज्‍य का मुख्‍यमंत्री और...

The search for your digital footprint starts with your email inbox and some machine learning GDPR defines personal data as an ‘asset’, yet despite this modern valuation, most of us have unwittingly – or unthinkingly –  given it away in exchange for online services. As such, the average digital footprint is spread far and wide. If you can remember all the companies that have bits of your digital info, you can begin approaching each one individually and demand they delete it – but you may be surprised at the quantity of organisations that really is. While the mind may immediately leap to Facebook, Google and the other tech giants, it’s also lots of obscure entities. That time you brought a hat at Disneyland, for example, the shop collected more than just a payment.  How do you start tracing companies you don’t remember engaging with? The answer is in your inbox and involves a little AI knowhow. This is the basic premise of Mine, an Israeli startup that uses machine learning to m...

The Uttarakhand High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition filed by senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy challenging the Devsthanam Act introduced for the management of 51 temples in the hill state, including Badrinath and Kedarnath. The division bench of the court comprising Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice RC Khulbe while delivering the order maintained that Char Dham Devasthanam Management Act, 201 Swamy, in a series of tweets, suggested he will move the Supreme Court against the judgment. “I am awaiting the full judgment to be up loaded. Broadly some Sections appear to have been struck down, but the Act as such minus these Sections remains. Hence I have to approach the SC as in my earlier victories after losing in the HC e.g., Sabhanayagar Nataraj, 2G Spectrum cases (sic),” tweeted Swamy minutes after the decision came. He added, “Ultimately for our system to work there has to be faith in the system, which depends on the case arguments and the judges appreciation of the ...

Chennai: Chennai cannot afford to let its guards down now that fresh coronavirus cases have been brought under check because the curves of other metropolises that showed similar dips have started displaying an upward trend, say researchers studying mathematical models on the viral spread and administrators batting the disease on the frontline. Sitabhra Sinha, senior researcher and professor at the Indian Institute of Mathematical Sciences, says an example to support this word of caution is the city of Mumbai. The Maximum City had an R Value less than 1 during July1 and 8, but the metric has gone above 1 now. The R Value is the parameter determining the viral spread in a community. R refers to the effective reproduction number which changes with time as more and more of the population exits from the susceptible category as a result of infection, and subsequent recovery or death. Sinha says Kolkata, too, had an R Value less than 1 during June 19 and 29 but it has risen to 1.31, give or t...
