Now racism on Indian's in Ireland

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On Friday, September 18, 2009 at 6:46 AM

Two Indian families in Northern Ireland have been forced to relocate to another part of the city Portadown after becoming the target of racist attacks.

One of the two families, which hails from Kerala, includes two children. They were targeted in what the local police described as hate crimes in the Killicomaine area.

The father, who did not want to be identified, is a care worker in a residential home. He was at home with his children when a downstairs window at the front of the house was smashed just before midnight.

His wife, a nurse at the Craigavon Area Hospital, was on night duty at the time of the recent attack, reports from Portadown said.

In another incident in the same town, three windows were broken in a home occupied by an Indian family. The house was vacated over the weekend and police believe that same group of people was responsible for both the incidents.

"We were upstairs at the time and a stone smashed through the window. We cannot understand it. We came here from the state of Kerala in south India for a better life and we found most people friendly. But now we cannot stay in this house. It was very frightening," he told the local media.

State to borrow Rs. 1,400 crore

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 3:58 PM

HYDERABAD: The State government has sought to raise Rs. 1,400 crore through security bonds to tide over the present shortfall in revenue.

It has requested permission of the Reserve Bank of India to borrow money from the open market. It is likely to conduct an auction next week for the lending agencies, viz. banks, mutual funds and other financial institutions to buy AP Development loans, bonds at an interest determined by the supply-demand scenario. The government had raised its last two borrowings at an interest rate of 7.7 to 7.8 per cent.

The State government is supposed to restrict its market borrowings to four per cent of its Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) which was close to Rs. 4 lakh crore last year. The limit for borrowings was raised from 3.5 per cent to 4 per cent of GSDP this year by the Union government.

Borrowing norm

The market borrowings comprise not just security bonds, but also government guarantee for loans raised by different agencies and external aid. The market borrowings should not exceed Rs.14,000 crore during this financial year as per the Fiscal Responsibility Budget Management (FRBM) Act. In the last six months of the current fiscal, a sum of Rs.8,600 crore had already been borrowed.

However, officials maintain that the situation should not be construed as a financial crisis. It is a normal process of adjustment to balance revenue receipts and expenditure.

There was a shortfall in VAT due to economic slowdown and resultant negative impact on movement of goods, construction activity, spending on consumer goods and travel. Motor vehicle tax revenue too registered a decline due to the dip in sales of transport vehicles. Stamps and registration receipts fell by about 50 per cent due to poor real estate transactions.

Sunny side

On the brighter side of it, there was slight increase in State’s share of indirect taxes and nominal eight per cent increase commercial taxes receipts at the end of July, compared to that of the previous year.

So, AICC should select Mr Jagan to continue those popular schemes.

Meanwhile, the Union minister of state for steel, Mr A. Saipratap, reiterated the demand to make Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy the Chief Minister while withdrawing a eleven day hunger strike by Congress activists in Nandalur in Kadapa on Thursday.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that he would sacrifice his life for Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy’s family and said that he was associated with the former Chief Minister for the last 30 years.
He opined that no other chief minister developed the state like YSR who helped the downtrodden, farmers and widows in the state.
Speaking on the occasion, the Rajampeta legislator, Mr Akeypati Amarnath Reddy, said: “The Congress high command has to keep in mind the public opinion and make Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy the next Chief Minister.”

The much awaited film “Eenadu” starring Venkatesh, Kamal Hassan will hit the screens worldwide on 18th September. This bilingual film (named as “Unnai Pol Oruvan” in Tamil) is a remake of Neeraj Pandey’s “A Wednesday” which had some of the finest actors like Anupam Kher, Naseeruddin Shah. The Hindi version was one of the biggest hits of 2008 too. The Telugu version of this film, “Eenadu” is also the first time where Kamal Hassan and Venkatesh have shared the screen. The trailers of the film have created a lot of buzz and the film is touted to be a trendsetter in terms of its concept, narration. Both Venkatesh and Kamal Hassan have reiterated that it’s a brilliant film and hoped that people would also love this film. Multistarrers seem to be the order of the day in Bollywood, however this trend hasn’t picked up yet in South. “Eenadu” changes that equation and let’s hope that it heralds a new era where movie buffs across the state can see their favourite stars acting together.

Chakri Toleti makes his debut as a director with this film and Shruthi Hassan has composed the background score of this film. It’s also her debut film as a music director. The film is being produced under Kamal Hassan’s own banner, Rajkamal International. 123telugu.com wishes the “Eenadu” team a grand success at box office.
