KOLKATA PHOTOGRAPHER GETS DEATH THREATS FOR MAKING MODEL POSE AS BENGALI BRIDE WITHOUT CLOTHES

Now News Network || 5th October 2018 || ZEE 24 Ghanta - Kolkata

A kolkata photographer has landed in trouble for doing a bold photo shoot of Ankita Bannerjee. For the last couple of days he is receiving constant threats over phone and social media for 'hurting religious sentiments'. On Facebook, people have threatened to kill Pritam Mitra, the photographer who did an offbeat photo shoot with a model who posed nude.

According to Zee 24 Ghanta, the photographer had posted the picture on a Facebook page called Bong Crush. And suddenly the picture became viral on social media. In the picture, a girl is seen wearing a traditional mukut, a headgear which Bengali brides wear. She is covering her face with pan pata (betel leaves), covering her breasts with her long hair and her private parts are covered with Sindur Kouto and her breast cover with hair, which is another essential component of a Bengali Hindu marriage.

The picture has angered many people on social media. While some has hailed it as a brutal slap on patriarchy, few have felt that the photographer is belittling Bengali and Hindu culture by shooting a bride without clothes.

But, rather than indulging in healthy debate, few social media users resorted to giving threats. One of them is an

user with profile name 'Raj Sarkar Rinku', who said that if the picture is not deleted and the page not closed within 24 hours, Pritam will be killed. He even ascertained the price of Pritam's head. With a religious chant, Rinku has said that he has to take extreme sake if the page is not deleted for the sake of all Hindutwavadis of West Bengal.

Shaken by all threats, Pritam Mitra has now lodged a formal complaint with Kolkata Police. The cyber crime team of Kolkata police is currently investigating the case. Pritam is a professional wedding photographer, who has been in the field for five years. The quest to create something unique and make a statement has landed him in deep trouble now.

GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES Rs. 2.5 CUT IN FUEL

Now News Network || 4th October 2018 || Republic TV

In what will be a major relief to the common man of the country, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday announced that the centre has cut the price of fuel Rs 2.5, while asking the state governments to do the same so that the cost of diesel and petrol is reduced by Rs 5 across the country.

The central government has decided to reduce the excise duty by Rs 1.5, while oil companies have been told to cut the price by Rs 1. Further, the state governments have also been asked to do the same in their respective states.

Speaking to the media after a meeting with Petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Jaitley said,

"During the inter ministerial discussions, we have decided to give relief to the consumers. After the approval of PM Modi, the relief has been decided in three ways. One, the excise duty has been cut by Rs 1.5. Secondly, the OMC's will reduce the price of fuel by Rs 1. From the central government, we have immediately cut down the price by Rs 2.5 on both petrol and diesel. Simultaneously, I am writing to the state government today that they also do the same, which means the total cut on fuel price will be Rs 5."

Both the center and state will have to cut down the prices in equal amount. Stating that the excise duty on petrol and diesel differs from state to state, Jaitley added,

"Central revenue as you know, is a fixed revenue. It doesn't matter if crude oil is $60 or $75, we only get revenue according to the central excise duty. The excise duty for the state governments vary from one state to another. Some states have 31% VAT, some have less. The average of all states is 29%. So when the price of crude oil increases, the revenue for center remains the same, because its a fixed amount. As for states, if the crude price increases, the price varies, and some get a lot of revenue."

In the end, the FM took a dig at those state governments who had been attacking the center over the increase in prices of petrol and diesel, stating the 'ball is in their court now'.

"This is the time for all those states who are only criticizing us for slashing oil price, ball is in their court now. They have to slash down the fuel price in their state too rather than only giving gyans with their tweets," Jaitley said.

Within minutes of his big announcement, Maharashtra and Gujarat government announced that they would ply with the center's request, and cut the prices of fuel by the same amount.

RUPEE HITS LIFETIME LOW AGAINST DOLLAR

Now News Network || 3rd October 2018 || NDTV Report

The rupee plunged to all-time low of 73.42 against US dollar in morning trade on Wednesday, reported Press Trust of India (PTI). Sharp rise in global crude oil prices over the last two sessions weighed on sentiment for the local unit. Strong demand for the American currency from importers and unabated capital outflows also affected the domestic currency, said analysts. At the forex market, the rupee opened lower at 73.26 and weakened further to quote at 73.42 a dollar against its Monday's closing of 72.91. Forex markets were closed on Tuesday on account of Gandhi Jayanti.

3. "Sharp rise in the crude oil prices along with steep depreciation in the rupee might push inflation higher in coming months. Sharp volatility in the domestic equities and steep FIIs outflows from equity and debt segments are keeping sentiments bearish for the rupee", Rushabh Maru, research analyst at Anand Rathi Shares and Stock Brokers told NDTV.

4. Globally, oil prices firmed on expectations of a tighter market once US sanctions start targeting Iran's petroleum industry from next month, although a strong dollar and rising US crude supply curbed gains. Brent crude oil futures were near $85 per barrel on Wednesday.

5. Brent and WTI (West Texas Intermediate) earlier this week both reached levels last seen in November 2014, and the two contracts have risen by around 20 and 17 per cent respectively since mid-August.

6. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is likely to increase the repo rate in the upcoming monetary policy review. "Focus would now shift to the RBI monetary policy meeting. There is a buzz of repo rate hike by 25 bps and possible change in the monetary policy stance by the RBI. More importantly, its guidance will be crucial. Market will also keenly watch whether the RBI announces any crucial measures to stabilize the rupee. In the near term, the rupee might trade in 72.50 and 73.80 range", added Mr Maru. 

7. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday said that it would pump Rs. 36,000 crore into money markets in October, pledging to buy back government bonds as part of a bid to quell fears of a credit crunch cascading through the economy.

8. The Indian rupee is down more than 12 per cent in 2018. There are predictions that crude could return to $100 per barrel. Hence, signalling that things may get a lot worse for the rupee in the final three months of the year, said a Bloomberg report.
