Mangalore, August 31: Suresh Naik from Puttur, a mentally retarded person, has made his way into record books for his unique memory power.

Addressing media persons at Press Club in Mangalore on Friday, Umesh Naik, his brother, said that Mr. Suresh's name has been included in the Limca Book of World Records following an event organized by the Limca Records authorities in Vijayvada, where Mr. Suresh recalled the names of 518 people with their telephone numbers noted in his diary, in 1 hour and 12 minutes. His name has also been included in the Asia Book of Records for possessing 'world's largest tongue' (measuring 10 cms from tip of the tongue to lips).

Limca has also recognized Mr. Suresh's four finger divisions by including another record of 'unique palm', Mr. Naik added.

Although aged 40, Mr. Suresh who suffers from Down Syndrome, possesses an IQ of mere 22. His social age according to doctors is 6.6 years. Mr. Suresh is an example that a person's weakness can be converted into his strength, Mr. Naik said.

Mr. Suresh actively participates in programmes of Puttur Sri Laxmivenkatarama Temple. He also works as a telephone operator at Puttur Shriram Shares.

Lucknow, Feb 4: Even as anti-NRC protests continue to rage across the country, the Lucknow University has queered the pitch by demanding citizenship proof from RTI applicants.

The Lucknow University (LU) refused to provide the information sought by the people who filed the Right to Information (RTI) unless they furnished the proof that they were Indian citizens.

Alok Chantia, one of the RTI applicants who was refused information by the varsity, said that he had lodged a complaint with the vice-chancellor of the varsity but even then he could not get the desired information.

"It is shocking how the university has twisted the RTI law as per its whims and fancy. It does not have any authority to do so," said the RTI applicant.

Chantia, also a faculty member at a degree college here, had sought details of appointment of teachers for self-financed courses and their pay scale.

"It is possible that some applicants who may not be familiar with the provisions of the RTI, may have furnished proof of their citizenship to the varsity to get the information but that cannot become a rule," he pointed out.

When contacted, university officials admitted that such a practice had been going on in the varsity for the past few years.

"This practice started during the tenure of the former vice-chancellor S.P. Singh and still continues," said a senior varsity official.
