Allah will not spare these cruel policemen, definitely they will die painful death!!

Its is shame on police dept for having such goonda type staff. I request the IGP to dismiss the poice staff responsible for murdering an innocent youth and transfer benefits due to these Police to the family of deceased. Govt should annount at least Rs. 25 lakh compensation to the family of the deceased.

There are many provocative whatsapp messages are being circulated on daily basis, are they going to kill all of them....reckless police should be arrested and given life imprisonment for their crime....

When Akhlaque ( Dadri )Killer died in hospital due to kidney failure Govt payed huge sum of more than 20 Lakhs Rupees. When a minor innocent Muslim killed by police no one raise voice. No compensation. Innalillah..

When 5 dalith's were beaten by upper caste Sangha Pariwar in Gujraj the entire Daliths i protested against brutality against them.

But when a muslim boy was beaten cruely and murdered by the police entire muslim's are mum.

In Muslims there is no unity . Shame on you Ranchi muslmano.

This incident shows us how police department discriminate the community. if any RSS member post anything like this, the police department even not file a single complaint against them. May Allah forgive all his sin & grant his Janna. Ameen

Here's the first phase flight plan for return of Indian nationals stranded abroad

May 5,2020

Newsroom, May 5: Following the union government's nod, preparations are afoot to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad from May 7 onwards.

According to sources, in the first phase from May 7- 14, the government would allow more than 60 “non-scheduled, commercial” flights to operate from about 12 countries to India to bring back 15,000 citizens. At least half of those flights will be from the Gulf region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, while the rest would bring passengers from the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bangladesh.

The flights would be spread over 10 States identified as having the largest numbers to return, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi (NCR) receiving the maximum number of flights.

A meeting held at the Ministry of Civil Aviation looked specifically at flights, mainly operated by Air India, while it awaits a final plan from countries where Indians need to be airlifted from. The first flights planned at present are from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, flying directly to Kozhikode and Kochi.

While the full estimate of Indians needing to return home could cross ten lakhs (a million), with more than two lakhs having registered to return from the UAE alone, officials said their return would be “prioritised and staggered”.
