We want to increase their visibility in India and, at the same time, provide Indian companies with opportunities to invest in Finland”, said Amit Gossain, Managing Director for KONE in India and member of the Finland Chamber of Commerce board of directors. In addition to Gossain, the chamber’s board is formed by the directors of Fortum, Wärtsilä and Nokia in India.

“The Finland Chamber of Commerce in India will promote bilateral commercial and industrial ties, trade, investment, economic, social and cultural relations between India and Finland by serving as a voice for the industry, connecting governments to businesses and facilitating activities and solutions that aid and augment the spirit of entrepreneurship and encourage and promote well-balanced economic growth”, said Board members of the Finland Chamber of Commerce in India.

Finland was one of the earliest countries with whom independent India established diplomatic relations in as early as 1949 and the relations have been warm and friendly ever since.

Trade relations between the two countries have been on a steady upward curve. India’s annual trade with Finland has crossed USD 1 billion. In 2016, Finland was India’s 60th largest trading partner globally, and the 10th largest within the EU. Similarly, in 2016, India was Finland’s 23rd largest trading partner globally, and the fifth largest within Asia.

The Chamber will create sectoral committees where members could represent and express their views and opinions on areas such as trade, commerce, finance, services, industry, agriculture and related issues. The Chamber will also act as an advocacy forum for promoting interests of members on the policy front.

Cabinet passes ordinance for death penalty for rapists of minor girls

New Post has been published on https://www.newsbutton.in/2018/04/22/cabinet-passes-ordinance-for-death-penalty-for-rapists-of-minor-girls/

Cabinet passes ordinance for death penalty for rapists of minor girls

New Delhi, Apr 21, 2018: The Union Cabinet approved an ordinance on Saturday to provide stringent punishment, including death penalty, for those convicted of rape of girls below 12 years, amid a nation-wide outrage over cases of sexual assault and murder of minors in Kathua and Surat and the rape of a girl in Unnao

New fast-track courts will be set up to deal with such cases and special forensic kits for rape cases will be given to all police stations and hospitals in the long term, according to the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance cleared by a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

It stipulates stringent punishment for perpetrators of rape, particularly of girls below 16 and 12 years. Death sentence has been provided for rapists of girls under 12 years, officials said quoting the ordinance

The minimum punishment in case of rape of women has been increased from rigorous imprisonment of seven years to 10 years, extendable to life imprisonment, they said

In case of rape of a girl under 16 years, the minimum punishment has been increased from 10 years to 20 years, extendable to imprisonment for rest of life, which means jail term till the convict’s “natural life”

The punishment for gang rape of a girl below 16 years will invariably be imprisonment for the rest of life of the convict, the officials said

Stringent punishment for rape of a girl under 12 years has been provided with the minimum jail term being 20 years which may go up to life in prison or death sentence, they said

The Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Evidence Act, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act will stand amended once the ordinance is promulgated after the approval of President Ram Nath Kovind, they said

The measure also provides for speedy investigation and trial. The time limit for investigation of all cases of rape has been prescribed, which has to be mandatorily completed within two months

The deadline for the completion of trial in all rape cases will be two months, the officials said. A six-month time limit for the disposal of appeals in rape cases has also been prescribed

There will also be no provision for anticipatory bail for a person accused of rape or gang rape of a girl under 16 years, the officials said

It has also been prescribed that a court has to give notice of 15 days to a public prosecutor and the representative of the victim before deciding bail applications in case of rape of a girl under 16 years of age

Enhancing the powers of the judiciary to provide stringent punishment in rape cases, the Cabinet approved a number of measures, such as strengthening the prosecution, besides setting up new fast-track courts in consultation with the states and high courts concerned

New posts of public prosecutors will be created and special forensic kits for rape cases given to all police stations and hospitals in the long term, the officials said

Dedicated manpower will be provided for investigation of rape cases in a time-bound manner, they said quoting the Cabinet decision

Special forensic labs exclusively for rape cases would also come up in each state, they said

“These measures will form part of a new mission mode project to be launched within three months,” the officials said

The National Crime Records Bureau will maintain a national database and profile of sexual offenders. This data will be regularly shared with the states and the Union territories for tracking, monitoring and investigation, including verification of antecedents of sex offenders by the police

The present scheme of ‘One Stop Centres’ for assistance to victim will also be extended to all districts in the country

After the Nirbhaya case in December 2012, when the criminal laws were amended, the provision of death penalty in case a woman either died or was left in a “vegetative state” after rape was introduced through an ordinance which later became the Criminal Law Amendment Act

The government informed the Supreme Court on Friday that it is actively considering amending the law to introduce death penalty for those convicted of sexually abusing children up to 12 years

“An ordinance today is the best way to deal with the issue. An amendment bill will have to wait (till July) when the Monsoon Session of Parliament commences,” a law ministry official said

In his first comments on the incidents of rape of a 17-year-old in Unnao in Uttar Pradesh and the sexual assault and murder of an eight-year-old girl Kathua in the Jammu region, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had last week said that no criminal will be spared and daughters will get justice

“Such incidents shake our sensibilities. I want to assure the nation that no criminal will be spared. Justice will be done. Our daughters will get justice,? he had said at an event to inaugurate the B R Ambedkar memorial in New Delhi

While in London to attend the just-concluded Commonwealth Summit, Modi had said that rape of a daughter was a matter of shame for the country

A minor was allegedly held captive, tortured and raped before being killed, the Surat Police had said on April 15, three months after the sexual assault and murder of the minor in Kathua sent shock waves across the nation

In the Unnao rape case, the CBI arrested BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar on April 13, hours after an Allahabad High Court order that he was influencing the “law and order machinery”.

India joins US to ring alarms over China-Vietnam face-off in South China Sea

New Delhi, May 10, 2014:  In the aftermath of the China-Vietnam faceoff in the South China Sea, international powers like the USA has set the alarm bells ringing on the prospect of peace and safety in the region. India joined the USA in raising alarm over China’s expansionist attitude, marked by the latest expeditions in the South China Sea.  The Chinese expeditions in the South China Sea clashed with Vietnam and the Philippines earlier this week. New Delhi, without naming China or Vietnam, called for freedom of navigation in the sea.

After five days the Chinese vessels rammed Vietnamese vessels near the Paracel Islands, India’s external affairs ministry said it is concerned about the “recent developments” in the South China Sea. “We would like to see resolution of the issue through peaceful means in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law,” said the Indian foreign office in a statement.

However, it is still not clear whether India referred to the conflict over sovereignty of the areas that China and Vietnam claim, or its concern regarding a potential Sino—Vietnamese flare-up. Earlier, Chinese and Vietnamese ships had apparently rammed each other and Chinese vessels used water canons on the Vietnamese vessels.

Videos posted by Vietnam shows how its ships were rammed by Chinese civilian and military vessels that formed the group that accompanied the CNOOC mobile oil rig, Haiyang Shiyou 981, which showed up in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) for oil exploration activities. The rig came along with a flotilla of civilian and military ships. According to reports, after Vietnamese naval vessels asked Chinese ships to leave, the Chinese ships rammed them, reportedly injuring six sailors.

Vietnam military spokesperson said to foreign media, “Vietnam has exercised restraint”. “But if Chinese vessels continue ramming Vietnamese ships, we’ll have to act out of self-defence,” said a senior Vietnamese commander.

On the other side, the Chinese defended their actions. They said the Vietnamese ships had rammed theirs 171 times. Yi Xianliang, deputy director general of the department of boundary and ocean affairs, said, “Vietnam had started the problem. Between May 3 and May 7, Vietnam has dispatched 35 ships that have rammed Chinese vessels 171 times.” “Chinese ships are government ships. Vietnam ships are armed,” he said.

Congress moves EC over Modi's affidavits on his marital status

  NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Friday moved the Election Commission over Narendra Modi’s affidavits on his marital status. In a desperate last minute effort to fire fight and save its turf, the congress went to EC to deter Modi and his growing popularity..

“We have given a plea to the Election Commission. In his affidavit in Vadodara, Narendra Modi informed that he is married. Prior to that, none of his affidavits mention this. It is hence proven those affidavits were wrong,” said Congress leader Kapil Sibal.

Narendra Modi, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, declared for the first time that he was married in his affidavit for the Lok Sabha elections this time. Modi had declared in an affidavit while filing his nomination papers in Vadodara that Jashodaben is his wife. However, his earlier affidavits for assembly elections, the marriage column were left blank.

Congress says it has now been proved that Modi’s had given false declarations in his previous affidavits. Congress has appealed to Election Commission to look into the false affidavits issue.

“Modi did not furnish name of his spouse as mandated by law,” said Sibal. “it was not a personal issue but a legal issue.”

Meanwhile, Modi addressed a rally in Chhatisgarh and exerted the people to throw away the congress led by its ‘Shahazada who has born with silver spoons in his mouth. It’s only a person who has suffered poverty himself can understand the pain of poverty not the people born with silverspoon  in their mouth like the Shahzada,” exerts Modi.

Modi also told people how MP and Chattishgarh- both states created by the BJP have managed to break their BIMARU status –  are flourishing under BJP chief ministers in contrast to the bloodshed and discontent that accompanied the forced creation of Telengana and Seemandhra. Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi too addressed a separate rally in the same state and waged a tug-of-war with Modi launching scathing attacks on the BJP and Modi.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi addressed people at Balasore in Orissa and told people parties like the BJP do not have any clear thought on governance for the country. She said how the ruling BJD government has swindled 2700 crore of central funds that was meant for the people of the state and askd the people to vote for change.

Chennai, 11th April 2014: BlackNGreen, a fast growing VAS service provider, has launched an all new Islamic Mobile Application – ‘Ibadat’. One of the comprehensive Islamic applications in the market, the Ibadat app is visually stunning and easy to use. It has all attributes that a follower of Islam would need in order to be spiritually connected to his religion in day to day life.

This is good news for travelers as the app would automatically set the prayer timings based on location. The prayer compass too is a handy tool while traveling as it lets the user know which direction to offer his prayers in.

We are now taking our next big leap by taking this experience to smartphone users globally. It would give us immense pleasure to touch the lives of millions across the world and offer them a platform to stay connected to Islam wherever they are. This is the reason we are offering this application absolutely free of cost to start with.” Rahul said.The application is currently available for iOS and Android users. A Java version of this application would be rolled out soon. Users can download this application from www.ibadatapp.com/app or from Apple App Store/Google Play.

Dell targets healthcare sector with New Cloud-Based Healthcare Solution

Chennai, India, March 24, 2014: Dell Services today unveiled a cloud-based solution that seamlessly and cost effectively delivers integrated clinical and financial systems for healthcare providers in India. This is a scalable, widely accessible and flexible solution that targeting Indian healthcare providers.

Targeted at midsized hospitals, large hospital chains and clinic networks, the solution ensures that providers have instant access to uniform workflows and customized reports across entities and geographies. Through a centralized approach, the solution gives healthcare providers the ability to adopt automated workflows and business processes using a single-instance application, reducing operational complexity and dependencies on paper records. This not only prevents manual errors and time delays, but will also enhance decision making and improve the patient experience.

With this solution, end-users (physicians, nurses and back office staff) can access cloud-based applications and reports through the use of a simple conventional browser. The solution also allows users to remain connected via smart phones and other hand-held devices, ensuring secure and anytime, anywhere access to information.

Commenting on the role of cloud in enabling better healthcare outcomes, Dr. Ashwin Naik, Founder and CEO, Vaatsalya, India’s first hospital network focused on Tier II and Tier III towns said, “The healthcare industry in India is increasingly turning to IT adoption to improve patient outcomes. As hospitals and providers expand their operations with new referral centers, facilities, and acquisitions in new geographies, the need to access, integrate and connect these disparate systems is gaining importance. Cloud-based technology has the potential to addresses most of the IT-related issues — access to the right information at the right time and operational efficiency, among others. More importantly it is affordable, scalable and flexible.” Dell is collaborating with Ubq Technologies and Ramco Systems to deliver an end-to-end proposition to providers. Ubq’s Hospital Information System (HIS) solution, medics, will serve as the front-end application for patient-centric activities and will integrate with Ramco ERP on Cloud to provide customers seamless enterprise-wide application on the cloud.

Delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, the solution allows healthcare providers to quickly respond to increasing demands of infrastructure and storage, and train staff without huge capital investments and recurrent readiness costs.

“There is a seismic shift happening in the global healthcare industry. The overarching trend is to integrate and move information to the right person or system at the right time — whether it’s a provider’s staff, external service provider, or the consumer (patient or prospect),”said Sudhanshu Bhandari, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research. “The ability to create an information infrastructure that brings together the micro level of personalized health and the macro level of epidemiologic mappings to institutional quality and evidence-based practices will be a key differentiator for healthcare providers in future. Cloud-based end-to-end business services would help healthcare companies jump start these business initiatives and collaborate with global peer institutions. However, the Indian healthcare market is still very cost competitive and more maturity is needed to effectively leverage cloud-based solutions.”

“We are extending Dell’s proven capabilities and global healthcare leadership to India and have brought in the best-of-breed combination of HIS and ERP to help providers achieve their goal of providing efficient, information-driven healthcare in an affordable way. We will continue to bring to India unique solutions that will allow healthcare providers to focus on their number one goal– enhanced patient care,” said Sid Nair, vice president and global general manager, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Dell Services. “The solution is truly one of a kind in terms of its capabilities, delivery model and pricing. We believe that this will be a game changer for the Indian healthcare industry, where hospitals are constrained by huge upfront capital investments, and higher cost of licensing, maintenance and support.”

This solution is available today in India and is an integral part of Dell’s vision of building future-ready IT platforms to provide cutting-edge technology and services that enable innovation in Health IT. The cloud-based solution also extends Dell’s Cloud strategy of providing choice and flexibility to customers to drive tangible business results through cloud computing.

Nitish’s PM ambitions led to alliance break-up: Modi

PURNEA, India, 10th Mar, 2014: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar’s vaulting ambition to become prime minister finally led to the collapse of the alliance between the Janata Dal United (JDU) and the Bharatiya Janata Party, said  BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said here on Monday.

Addressing a mega rally, Modi wondered why the JD(U) broke the long partnership.

“Now we know why he broke the alliance. The dream of becoming Prime Minister was not letting him sleep,” said Modi.

Taking a dig at the Third Front, he said it has a dozen prime ministerial aspirants. “Look at the Third Front… almost all parties have saved the Congressand supported it at some point of time. There are either former prime ministers, or PM aspirants. There are more than a dozen people who have got clothes stitched to become the prime minister.” he said.

  Modi said if the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance comes to power, it will develop the country’s eastern region, including Bihar, by providing all necessary help. “Our government’s priority will be to develop the eastern part of the country, including Bihar, Assam, Odisha and West Bengal at par with the western part,” he said.

All seven convicts in the Rajiv assassination case set free

CHENNAI, Feb 19, 2014:  After Tamil Nadu CM J. Jayalalithaa decided to set free all the seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has expressed deep dissapontment on the decision. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assasinated by an LTTE suicide bomber on May 21, 1991 in Sriperumbudur.

“I am saddened that Rajiv Gandhi’s killers are being set free,” Rahul said on Wednesday.

“If a Prime Minister’s killers can be released, what kind of justice should the common man expect? The Prime Minister of our country was killed, I am sad the killers are being released,” he said.

The ruling AIADMK government on Wednesday decided to set free all seven convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, a day after the Supreme Court commuted the death penalty of three of them to life.

The Congress party has condemned the surprise move by the Tamil Nadu government as “perverse and populist”.

Chief Minister Jayalalithaa announced in the state assembly that triggered celebrations by pro-Eelam supporters in the state.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had commuted the death sentence of Murugan, Santhan (both Sri Lankan Tamils) and A G Perarivalan due to the Centre’s 11-years delay in considering their mercy pleas.

The Tamil Nadu government set a three-day deadline for itself and also to the Centre over the release of the three and Nalini, Robert Pious, Jayakumar and Ravichandran, who are undergoing life sentence for their role in the assassination of Gandhi by an LTTE suicide bomber on May 21, 1991 in nearby Sriperumbudur.

The Tamil Nadu government would send the Cabinet proposal to the Centre as mandated under Sec 435 Cr.PC seeking the Centre’s nod for release of convicts. If there is no response within three days, then the state government would invoke powers vested with it under Sec 432 Cr.PC and release all seven convicts.

Starlet Meghna Patel goes nude in support of Narendra Modi

Mumbai, 17th Feb, 2014: The glamour world is up in contest to express their support for Narendra Modi, albeit most bizarre way sometime. After Mallika Sherawat made headlines a couple of month s back, and Salman Khan expressed his support for Modi, starlet and small time model Meghna Patel is the latest to jump into the bandwagon.

Meghna Patel, who had appeared in the TV serial ‘Kahaani Chandrakanta Ki’, has made headlines by posing nude with just a poster of Narendra Modi. Without any inhibitions for the camera, Meghna is seen holding a placard that reads ‘Vote for Modi’ to hide her modesty.

Even as response on Meghna’s dare-bare act is still awaiting response from the BJP, the pictures have gone viral on the Internet. However, as stated by news website Daily Mail, the Meghna’s pictures have left the Maharashtra BJP embarrassed. Not happy with the development, the BJP members are dismissing the act as a publicity stunt by the starlet. Earlier, actor Salman Khan had called Modi a “good man” during a kite flying festival in Ahmedabad at the sidelines of the promotion of his film ‘Jai Ho’.
