File FIR against power station related to land mortgage in Kabini: MLA
The issue was discussed in a Karnataka Development Programmes review meeting held in HD Kote, concerning accusations that the Kolkata-based Subhash Power Station Corporation Limited attempted to illegally acquire govt land within the Kabini reservoir.
Following complaints of public outcry about the misuse of govt land from the public and people from various quarters of society, the MLA directed Saragur tahsildar Mohankumari and officials concerned with Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited to look into such complaints.
Even though state govt permitted the company to set up the power corporation after providing it land on a 30-year lease, the company is accused of transferring 13 acres into its name. It also obtained necessary khatas, RTCs, and fraudulently borrowed loans from several nationalised and private sector banks.
Speaking to TOI, social activist Doreswamy, a retired police officer, accused the previous tahsildar and other revenue department officers of Saragur taluk of allegedly transferring 13 acres belonging to the state irrigation department to this company.

They also issued khata, RTC, and other land records.
He demanded state govt and irrigation department order a detailed probe into these allegations. Previous Saragur revenue department officials, including the tahsildar, transferred 13 acres of govt land bearing registration numbers 160, 161, and 162 to this company.
Doreswamy said he would continue the legal battle over the issue. Executive engineer of Kabini reservoir, Beechanahalli, Chandarashekhar, said he would verify this complaint and initiate action after discussing the issue with his higher-ups.
Senior manager of Subhash Power Station Corporation Limited V Senthilkumar denied such allegations levelled against the company and said they are ready for investigation as they did not commit any wrongdoing. They haven't obtained any loans after mortgaging property belonging to the state irrigation department. The company has also written letters to the state revenue department, local tahsildar, and even irrigation department officials of Kabini reservoir to rectify the error if the company's name is mentioned in RTCs and other land records.

Union Cabinet okays Rs 1L-crore job-linked incentive scheme
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Tuesday approved an employment-linked incentive (ELI) scheme with an outlay of nearly ₹1 lakh crore to generate over 3.5 crore jobs in the next two years. "You saw in the last Budget that the Finance Minister announced a clear package for an employment-linked scheme. Since then, a lot of good work has been done, and we came up with a comprehensive plan. This is an Employment-Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme, with a focus on the manufacturing sector," Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said at a Cabinet briefing. Under the scheme, first-time employees will get an incentive equivalent to one month's wage up to ₹15,000 in two instalments. The first instalment will be paid after six months of service, and the second after 12 months, along with completion of a financial literacy programme, the government said in a statement. 'To encourage the habit of saving, a portion of the incentive will be kept in a savings instrument of deposit account for a fixed period and can be withdrawn by the employee at a later date,' the statement said. The ELI scheme, announced in the Union Budget 2024-25 as part of a package for employment and skilling opportunities for 4.1 crore youth, has an outlay of Rs 99,446 crore. The benefits will apply to jobs created between August 1, 2025 and July 31, 2027. Two-part scheme Part A targets first-time employees registered with EPFO and is expected to benefit 1.92 crore workers entering the workforce, while Part B will incentivise employers for creating additional jobs, with benefits of up to Rs 3,000 per employee per month for two years. For the manufacturing sector, the incentives will be extended for another two years. Employers hiring additional workers with salaries up to Rs 1 lakh per month will be eligible. Those with less than 50 employees will have to hire at least two more workers, while establishments with 50 or more employees will need to hire at least five more to avail the benefit. The government said Part B is expected to incentivise the creation of nearly 2.6 crore additional jobs. Payments to the first-time employees will be made through DBT using Aadhaar-based systems, while employers will receive the incentive in their PAN-linked accounts.

2020 US election: FBI blocked probe into 'Chinese meddling', documents show - who was being shielded?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) blocked probe into the allegations of Chinese Communist Party meddling into the 2020 US presidential elections to benefit Joe Biden , aiming to shield then-FBI Director Christopher Wray as it would "contradict" his congressional testimony, Fox News Digital reported citing newly declassified FBI documents. The documents, containing exchanges between FBI officials prior to the 2020 election, were recently declassified by FBI director Kash Patel and sent to senate judiciary committee chair Chuck Grassley of Iowa. What do the documents reveal? According to the report, Chinese government created 'a large amount' of fake US driver's licenses, generated using data from millions of TikTok users, 'tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, despite not being eligible to vote in the United States,' the New York Post reported. Moreover, the FBI's Albany field office reported the plot from a credible source, but FBI headquarters "suppressed" the report, partly because it would "contradict" director Wray's congressional testimony claiming no coordinated national voter fraud. Internal communications showed Albany staff protested the suppression, warning that political motives were influencing intelligence handling and that the suppression prevented other agencies from vetting the information. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Recall of probe report 'abnormal' Details of the alleged meddling were shared in an FBI Intelligence Information Report (IIR) on September 25, 2020, just a day after Wray told Congress the bureau had no knowledge of any 'coordinated national voter fraud effort'. The report, however, was withdrawn within minutes of being released. Calling the move "abnormal", FBI assistant director Marshall Yates, in a letter to Chuck Grassley earlier this year said, 'Based on conversations with key individuals involved, it was conveyed that the recall of the IIR was abnormal.' Yates had said that the probe report had "prompted significant attention throughout FBI Headquarters" and "the recall was issued to 'reinterview' the source." "The rationale provided to Albany staff for the recall was that Headquarters deemed the report not 'authoritative,' but this characterization was met with disagreement by those in the Albany office. Internal emails reflect that Albany staff had concerns that suppressing the IIR would be 'dangerous if we cite potential political implications as reasons for not putting out our information,' emphasizing that it was not the role of analysts to align intelligence with public testimony," he wrote in the letter.
