New Delhi, Oct 4: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath trained his guns on the Kerala government moments after reaching the state on Wednesday for the Janaraksha Yatra.

Accusing the CPM government in the state of indulging in political killings, Adityanath said the yatra launched a day earlier by BJP chief Amit Shah is a strong message to communist state governments in the country. "This yatra is a mirror for communist governments in Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura. They should put an end to political killings," he said. "There is no place for violence in a democracy but political killings are continuing here."

BJP has repeatedly accused that its party workers in the state are being targeted. The party has said that since 2001, close to 120 of its workers have been killed by members of the Left. Under Amit Shah, the BJP is now looking to gain a major foothold in what has traditionally been a left bastion. The party chief on Tuesday had flagged off the Janaraksha Yatra and had accused Pinarayi Vijayan of having blood on his hands. "I am asking Chief Minister Vijayan, who has killed BJP and RSS workers in Kerala. If he does not have answers, then I am saying that Chief Minister Vijayan is himself responsible for the killings," he had said. "End of CPM will herald the end of political violence."

After Shah, Yogi's participation in the yatra is being looked at further galvanising party workers in Kerala. CPM though has not been entirely silent and had a tongue-in-cheek response to news of the UP CM visiting the state. "We invite UP CM Yogi to visit Kerala Hospitals to learn how to run Hospitals effectively," read a tweet from the party's official handle. This was a snide reference to death of many children in a Gorakhpur hospital - allegedly due to oxygen supply shortage.

Several big-wigs of the party - including general secretary Sitaram Yechury - too have spoken out against BJP assembling its leaders in Kerala, and said the state will continue to 'reject the ways of the saffron party.'

New Delhi, Mar 15: The new rules for debit and credit cards to increase security and reduce frauds kick in from Monday. In January, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued new rules to improve user convenience and increase the security of card transactions. These rules will help in curbing the misuse of debit and credit cards.

RBI has directed banks to allow only domestic card transactions at ATMs and PoS terminals in India at the time of issuance/reissuance of card. For international transactions, online transactions, card-not-present transactions and contactless transactions, customers will have to separately set up services on their card.

These rules will be applicable for new cards from March 16. Those with old cards can decide whether to disable any of these features.

As per the existing rules, these services used to come automatically with the card, but now it will start at the request of the customer.

Debit or credit card customers who have not yet done any online transaction, contactless transaction or international transaction with the card, then these services on the card will automatically stop from March 16.

The Reserve Bank has asked all banks to provide mobile banking, net banking option to enable limit and enable and disable service 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If the customer makes any change in the status of the card, the bank will alert the customer through SMS/email and send the information.

Issuers shall provide to all cardholders facility to switch on/off and set/modify transaction limits (within the overall card limit, if any, set by the issuer) for all types of transactions -- domestic and international, at PoS/ATMs/online transactions/contactless transactions, etc.,

The provisions, however, are not mandatory for prepaid gift cards and those used at mass transit systems.

The latest instructions come in the wake of rising instances of cyber frauds and the huge increase in the use of cards.
