Itanagar, Jul 18 (PTI) The North Eastern Council (NEC) on Friday reaffirmed its strong support for Arunachal Pradesh's cultural and developmental initiatives. The council's secretary, S K Bhalla, also reviewed several NEC-funded projects during his visit to the state capital. Reviewing the construction of the new administrative block at Dera Natung Government College, Bhalla directed the executing agency to complete the Rs 6.86 crore project by August, in line with the standards outlined in the detailed project report (DPR). He stressed that early completion will boost administrative efficiency and student services, an official release said. At the state emporium and artefact house, the secretary praised the efforts of Textiles and Handicrafts Director Dorjee Phuntso and his team for the impressive display of tribal handloom and handicraft products representing Arunachal's rich ethnic diversity. Bhalla expressed satisfaction at NEC's role in empowering artisans and sustaining traditional art forms, it said. He also visited the historic Itafort to review the ongoing NEC-supported renovation of the archaeological park at the southern gate. The team from the state research department, led by Deputy Director (Archaeology) Bulton Dutta, briefed the secretary on the site's historical relevance and plans to enhance its visitor appeal. The secretary also inspected the NEC-funded extension of galleries at the Jawaharlal Nehru State Museum here, and lauded the museum's collection and applauded the inclusion of exhibits from all eight Northeastern states, describing it as a meaningful 'Ashtalakshmi Darshan' experience for visitors, the statement said. He was also briefed on the upcoming digital museum initiative by Deputy Director (Museum) Tage Babin and Assistant Director Dr Radhe Yampi, from the research department. Bhalla's tour reflects NEC's comprehensive vision for cultural preservation, infrastructure strengthening, and inclusive development in Arunachal Pradesh, it said. His visit emphasised the council's continued commitment to empowering local institutions and enriching the socio-economic fabric of the state and the North East, at large.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition.

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants failed to warn investors and consumers: (1) that preterm infants were at an increased risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis ('NEC') by consuming Reckitt's cow's milk-based formula, Enfamil; (2) of the attendant impact on Reckitt's sales of Enfamil and Reckitt's exposure to legal claims; and (3) as a result of the above, defendants' positive statements about Reckitt's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Reckitt action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified.

It's ANC business as usual for Senzo Mchunu, despite being put on special leave
As South Africa grapples with explosive allegations of criminal syndicates and political meddling in the SAPS, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu is yet to face any accountability from the ANC. Police Minister Senzo Mchunu will continue attending parliamentary meetings and doing party work despite being placed on special leave by President Cyril Ramaphosa. As an ordinary MP, Mchunu will continue to enjoy several benefits, including a monthly salary of about R100,000 and free flights. On Tuesday, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula said that Mchunu remained an ordinary MP and would continue executing his duties as a senior member of the ANC. He is a member of various structures in the party, including the National Executive Committee (NEC), the party's highest decision-making body in between conferences, and the National Working Committee (NWC). Mchunu did not attend the party's most recent NWC meeting on Monday, 14 June. Mbalula said it dealt with crucial issues, but Mchunu's was not among them. 'Comrade Senzo is a member of the NWC. He's a member of the NEC. There's no curtailment on those roads. We, in fact, expected him to attend the meeting yesterday, and he gave me an apology, and I told him that I need to sit down with him, that this absence of leave, we are not affected by it as the ANC. 'His absence of leave is in relation to his point of deployment. So we will straighten up issues. He will come to meetings. He must execute his task as a leader of the ANC,' said Mbalula. Allegations of serious misconduct Ramaphosa placed Mchunu on immediate leave of absence after KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi alleged serious misconduct on the part of Mchunu, including disbanding a specialised task team investigating political killings. Regarding media reports that Mchunu had been summoned to appear before the ANC's Integrity Commission, which deals with offences and conduct that tarnish the image or integrity of the party, Mbalula said this was 'disinformation' as Mchunu had yet to appear. 'There has not been any decision arrived at on this matter. Until comrades appear before the Integrity Commission, as and when they appear, the Integrity Commission will deal with the matters.' The commission, led by veteran anti-apartheid activist the Rev Frank Chikane, has been criticised for being toothless as it only makes recommendations on how disciplinary matters should be handled, while the final say lies with the NEC. Mkhwanazi made astounding accusations about fellow police officers and other state officials, including that: A high-level criminal syndicate in South Africa extends into the South African Police Service (SAPS), the police ministry, Parliament, official prison structures, the judiciary and other law-enforcing authorities; A drug cartel headquartered in Gauteng controls that syndicate; At the end of last year, Mchunu issued a directive to disband the Political Killings Task Team to shield politically connected members of a criminal syndicate from prosecution; and Mchunu was in cahoots with organised crime accused Vusi 'Cat' Matlala. Mchunu denied the accusations. Commission of inquiry On Sunday, Ramaphosa announced the creation of a judicial commission of inquiry into Mkhwanazi's allegations. While its terms of reference have not yet been made public, he said it would investigate allegations relating to the infiltration of law enforcement, intelligence and associated institutions within the criminal justice system by criminal syndicates. The ANC rallied behind the establishment of the commission, saying it was a sustainable path for rebuilding public institutions. Mbalula said Ramaphosa's 'approach is not driven by the need for applause but by the imperative of transformation and accountability within the bounds of legality. 'The African National Congress stands resolute in defence of constitutional governance. We reaffirm our support for the commission of inquiry, for the president's leadership and for all lawful and transparent processes aimed at restoring the integrity of the state. In the end, the strength of our democracy will be judged not by the absence of a crisis but by how we respond to it.' The NEC was due to meet this coming weekend to discuss a range of issues, including the fragile Government of National Unity, preparations for the party's national general council, and the SA Communist Party contesting elections independently. However, Mbalula said the meeting had been postponed. In the meantime, the NWC will engage with party regions in the Western Cape on Saturday, followed by a meeting with the provincial executive on Sunday. DM
