Whether I be far or near, may I hear only good news of you all.
BLOG EDITOR: MOIDEEN ALI MANJESHWAR (9895731734)
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
Whether I be far or near, may I hear only good news of you all.
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand
Whether I be far or near, may I hear only good news of you all.
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.
May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

| New Delhi, March 3 (PTI): A bill seeking to prevent sexual abuse of children with provisions for stringent punishment for such offences was today approved by the Union Cabinet.The section seven of the bill provides for ''no punishment'' if the consent for sexual act has been obtained with a person aged between 16 to 18 years. The proposed legislation aims at protecting children against offences of sexual assault, sexual harassment, pornography and provide for establishment of special courts for trial of such offences. The bill provides for treating sexual assault as "aggravated offence" when it is committed by a person in position of trust or authority over a child including a member of the security forces, police officer, public servant, management or staff of a children's home, hospital or educational institution. It will be treated as an aggravated offence where the child victim is below 12 years or has mental or physical disability or the sexual offence causes grievous hurt or injury to the child with long term adverse effect on the child's mind and body. The punishment for penetrative sexual assault has been proposed as at least five years in jail and a minimum fine of Rs 50,000. Sexual assault also includes fondling the child in an inappropriate way which will invite a penalty of minimum three years in jail. There are nine chapters and 44 sections in the proposed bill. There is a special provision in the bill preventing abuse of children for pornographic purpose or possessing pornographic material involving children. There will be an obligation on the media, studio and photographic facilities to report such cases and failure to do so will attract punishment. The bill also envisages set procedure for media on reporting that would bar giving details of the victim and accused children's family or personal details or any form of reporting that can lead to their identification. Besides, it proposes special courts and more sensitive ways in dealing with crime against children. The new law will cover all new aspects of sexual offences against children not covered elsewhere with provision for stringent punishment. In her address to joint sitting of both houses of Parliament in this session, President Pratibha Patil had mentioned the government's proposal to introduce the bil. Congress President Sonia Gandhi was keen to see the bill through and had written to Women and Child Development (WCD) minister Krishna Tirath last year asking her to hasten the pace of the legislation focusing on sexual abuse of children, sources said. Amid reports of differences between ministries, she as NAC Chairperson had asked the WCD ministry to coordinate with the Law Ministry which had already prepared a draft bill on similar lines. |

Bangalore : Four Youths Drown in Bidadi Lake
Repoert: Moideen ali manjeshwar
Bangalore, Mar 3 (DHNS) : Three boys and a girl drowned while swimming in Nelligudde lake near Bidadi in the adjoining Ramanagara district on Wednesday, while six others who also took a dip, managed to escape from the swirling waters.
The police said that a group of 11, including four boys and seven girls, left for Bidadi to visit a temple and unwind there. After visiting the temple, the group reached the lake and relaxed on its banks before the boys entered the water for a swim.
Soon the others joined in. Some of the boys and girls managed to swim to the middle of the lake when one of them started drowning. The police said three from the group swam frantically to rescue the boy, but they too drowned.
“They could not swim because the lake was deep at that point, which was the result of dredging a few years ago,” a police officer said.
Narrating the tragic incident, eyewitness Sharath, an SSLC student at St Joseph School, said: “We wanted to spend the Shivaratri holiday. So, the girls took the train and the boys took a bus to reach Bidadi. After a darshan of Anjaneya Swamy, we reached the lake by autorickshaws.”
Sharath said that Manoj, who was the oldest in the group, consumed liquor before entering the lake. Tragedy struck minutes later,” he said.
Claiming that the survivors tried to escape from the spot after their friends drowned, the police said the boys and girls had lied to their families about their visit to the temple.
“They instead went to the lake and then the drowning led them to flee,” a police source said, adding that autopsies on the bodies will reveal whether they had consumed alcohol.
A majority in the group was pursuing SSLC and PUC, but three of the girls worked at Tele Call Seva Centre.
