Mumbai Indians won their second game of this season against Kings XI Punjab by 48 runs. With this victory, Mumbai surged at top of the points table while Kings XI Punjab moved to sixth position. While batting first Mumbai scored 191 runs where Rohit Sharma was the leading run-scorer with his 70 runs, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard also contributed with their quick-fire innings.

Punjab batsmen were completely failed right from start of their chase. Apart from Nicholas Pooran no other batsmen scored more than 30 runs. Pooran scored 44 runs, while from the Mumbai side Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the most successful bowler with his figure of 2 wickets for 18 runs in his four overs.

Rohit Sharma praised the efforts of Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya who were brilliant in the later half of Mumbai innings.

“We didn’t start really well, but we always knew with the kind of attack Punjab had we wanted to capitalise. Those two guys they back themselves to get the runs, it’s nice to have them in form as well,” said MI captain Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation ceremony.

“It wasn’t going to be easy with the ball against KXIP’s batting line-up. We knew we had to get early wickets and everything went to plan, credit to the bowlers,” he said. Rohit also said that he and fast bowlers James Pattinson and Trent Boult understand each other better.

“They have now got an idea of what I need from them and I have got to know them better too,” he said.

“It’s about what’s there in front of you. Look at the bowlers and see how many you want to get, 15 off the over and then you try to go hard. Today, Hardik had to come and swing and he showed his prowess. We know sky is the limit in the last 4 overs,” he said.

“Twitter killer” admits murdering nine people

-

Japanese man, Takahiro Shiraishi, dubbed the “Twitter killer” had admitted to murdering nine people in court on Wednesday. The “Twitter killer” was arrested in 2017 after body parts were found in his flat.

The 29-year-old defendant told the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court on Wednesday that the allegations against him were “correct.”

However, his defence team argued that he killed the victims – eight women and one man aged 15 to 26 – with their consent as they had expressed suicidal thoughts on social media, and therefore Shiraishi was guilty of the lesser charge of homicide with consent.

Mr Shiraishi appears to be at odd with his lawyers, telling a local newspaper on Wednesday, that he did not have his victims’ consent to kill them. 

“There were bruises on the back of the victims’ heads. It means there was no consent and I did it so that they wouldn’t resist,” a report in Mainichi Shimbun said.

If Mr Shiraishi is convicted of murder, he faces death by hanging. 

What happened?

The prosecution says the accused opened a Twitter account in March 2017 “to contact women contemplating suicide, whom he saw as easy targets”, NHK said.

Eight of his victims were women, one of them aged 15.

The only male victim, aged 20, was killed after confronting Mr Shiraishi about the whereabouts of his girlfriend, Japanese media reported.

The 29-year-old is believed to have lured his victims by telling them he could help them die and in some cases claimed he would kill himself alongside them.

His Twitter profile contained the words: “I want to help people who are really in pain. Please Direct message me anytime.

The serial killings first came to light when police were looking into the disappearance of a young woman, who later turned out to be one of the victims.

Officers visited Mr Shiraishi’s flat in the Japanese city of Zama, near Tokyo, where they found dismembered body parts.

On 1 September 1939, Britain and Europe waved to the war to stop the growing power of Germany. Initially, half of the world became part of the war. This war lasted for 6 years, property worth billions was lost, crores of innocent people were killed.

Around 70 countries participated and the whole world was divided into 2 parts, which came to be called as Allied and Axis Nation.
After this war, the United Nations was established in 1945, which was initiated by the United States, to prevent this kind of war.


This war is considered to be the most devasting war till date. All types of weapons were used and earth experienced their first nuclear attack.

Some countries lost during World War I, but the agreement and rules made were broken in 20 years. Which had more disastrous results than before.

According to some reports, to increase power in economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Party re-established the country and signed a strategic treaty with Italy and Japan to fulfill their ambitions, such as increasing their dominance in the world.

While 11 million people were killed in this war, the superiority of many countries had also lost.

By the end of 2 September 1945, the devastating traces of this war had settled.

He assured us that he is concerned about atrocities against women happening in the state and will be looking into the matter. I have asked for Y-category security for Payal and myself. Payal has threat to her life and I am protecting her, so I am also vulnerable from anti-social elements,” Ghosh’s lawyer Nitn Supde said.

Sonam Wangchuk, the Ladakh-based engineer whose life inspired a character in movie “3 Idiots”. Wangchuk was born in 1966, near Alchi in the Leh. It is surprising that he did not start receiving formal education until the age of 9, for there were no schools in his village.

Wangchuk is not just an engineer, he is also an innovator and education reformist. All the formative experiences led him to start the Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL), to deal with the problems of youths and their lack of resources. His work created awareness in the youth about the insensitive school education system. Notably, SECMOL is a non-traditional school which brought in educational reform in the Ladakh region and it increased students clearing exams.

Wangchuk, the real life ‘Phunsukh Wangdu’ of the Aamir Khan-starrer film, said he has not done anything big or special. “I did what humanity demands people to do,” he said.

From 1993 till 2005, Wangchuk founded and worked as an editor of Ladags Melong. He was assigned with the task of modelling the policy on Education and Tourism as part of the Vision Document Ladakh 2025 and he also served as a member in the National Governing Council for Elementary Education in the HRD Ministry.

He has been helping design and build several passive solar mud buildings in mountain regions of Ladakh, Nepal and Sikkim to save energy.

​​​​​​​His project called the ‘Ice Stupa’ has brought him fame worldwide. With the aim of providing a solution to the farmers of Ladakh in the critical months of April and May. Wangchuk with his team constructed a two-storey prototype of an ice stupa in 2014. That Ice Stupa could store around 150000 litres of winter stream water to be used later.

26th July, 2018 it has been announced that Sonam Wangchuk won coveted Ramon Magsaysay award 2018. Sonam Wangchuk has been awarded , the ICA Honor Award 2017, San Francisco, CA, the GQ Men of the Year Awards, Social Entrepreneur of the Year, 2017, Rolex Award for Enterprise, 2016, International Terra Award for best earth building, 2016, Man of the Year by the Week, 2001 and many more.

No need to carry vehicle documents from Today

By
Jyoti B
-

Today, a number of new motor vehicle rules are coming in force, aimed at ensuring commuter convenience. The Union ministry of road transport and highways has notified these new rules.

What changes according to Motor Vehicles Rules from October 1

1) No physical verification of vehicular documents

All the vehicular documents found validated through electronic means shall not be demanded in physical forms for inspection. 

2) What if DL needs to be revoked?

If a situation arises where the drivers’ driving licence should be reported for disqualification or revocation for gross violations, authorities can record and report the violators’ report on the digital portal. 

3) No one escapes the new system

The record of the violators will be maintained electronically, and authorities will also monitor the driver behaviour. 

4) Where shall you store your vehicular documents?

Drivers can maintain their vehicular documents on Central govt’s online portal like Digi-locker or m-parivahan. No need to mandatorily carry the physical documents anymore.

5) Use your phones wisely

Use of mobile phones or any other handheld communications devices while driving shall solely be used for route navigation in such a manner that it shall not disturb the concentration of the driver while driving. 

“Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has recently issued notifications regarding various amendments in Central Motor Vehicle Rules 1989 requiring the implementation of enforcement, Maintenance of Vehicular Documents and E-Challans through portal w.e.f 1.10.2020 for better monitoring and enforcement of MV Rules,” MoRTH said in a statement. Use of IT services and electronic monitoring will result in better enforcement of traffic rules in the country and will lead to removing harassment of drivers and would facilitate the citizens, it said.

However, what remains a challenge is whether the enforcement officials across the country have handheld devices or apps on their smartphones to verify details online. ” Now there is a law and people can raise the issue if the rule is not followed by the enforcement authorities, said an official.
