Mangalore, Feb 1: The new office of the technical wing of UK-based Atlantic Data Bureau Private Limited located at Padil in Mangalore, was inaugurated on Friday.
Speaking after inaugurating the new facility, British Deputy High Commissioner Ian Felton said that the British Government was easing VISA conditions and services to Indians especially to students who wanted to study in UK universities. The British government was looking at areas such as education and business sectors for the mutual benefit of both countries. It was also looking at encouraging educational qualifications from UK universities in professional courses, humanities, basic science streams and also in-service people with UK-based companies, especially in the IT sector. There were no limits or cap on the number of students from India going to pursue education at British universities. As much as 95 percent of business issues will be alleviated with the loosening of VISA standards, he said.
President of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Mohammed Ameen said that the commerce bodies aimed at the development of an IT hub in Mangalore, as people were well-educated and intelligent. “Soon, KCCI will organise an IT conclave in Mangalore. We have to retain youngsters in Mangalore in order to prevent 'brain-drain' to other countries. Talks are on-going with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) on a programme to give leverage in technology in business mode,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Director of Aloysius Institute of Management and IT (AIMIT) Fr Denzil Lobo said that the educational facilities created in Mangalore by various organisations and institutions were of world-class standard. To further facilitate good education, we need an upgradaded syllabus and curriculum from time to time. Foreign collaboration in this regard would provide valuable assistance, he said.
Managing Director of UK Atlantic Data Services Mark Follett and director of Atlantic Data Bureau Services Mangalore Deepak Sharma were present on the occasion.

Chennai, Feb 5: In order to ensure housing for all, the Madras High Court has proposed ban on non-resident Indians from purchasing houses in India, prohibit speculative sale, and impose 100 per cent extra stamp duty on purchase of second house.

The court on its own impleaded the Union housing and finance ministries as party respondents.

It has directed them to answer a series of questions including as to how many families have basic amenity of housing in India as well as in Tamil Nadu, population and housing ratio in the country and in the state, when 'Housing for All' mission of the central government would be achieved.

"Why the government does not consider imposing such restrictions to control escalation of house prices and to provide a house to every family in the country, a division bench of Justice N Kirubakaran and Justice Abdul Quddhose wondered.

Directing the authorities to inform as to whether the central and state have got special schemes to provide housing for the marginalized and economically weaker sections including SC/ST communities, the bench has also sought the details of the number of families that possess more than one house.

"Why the governments do not restrict families/individuals from purchasing/possessing more than one housing unit/flat/plot till "Housing for all" is achieved?

Why not the government charge 100 per cent more or extra stamp duty to discourage buying more than one house by a family while purchasing second house?

Why not the government conditionally allow the families to purchase more than one house provided the said family pays 100 per cent extra statutory dues like property tax, electricity charges, water and sewerage charges on the second property?" the bench said.

This apart, the court also wanted the authorities to know as to why it should not prohibit the NRIs from purchasing houses in India to bring down the cost of housing.

Justifying its directions, the court said "Lakhs and lakhs of people are living on platforms, roads, and cement pipes, slums, under the trees and on banks of water bodies without proper shelter and basic amenities and safety."

It is true that the Centre had taken a policy decision to provide housing unit to every family.

It should be achieved at the earliest, the court said, adding it could become fruitful when restrictions are put on persons who hold more than one housing units.

The court passed the order while hearing an appeal moved by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board challenging a single judge order against acquisition of about 369 acres of private land in Thudiyalur and Vellakinar areas of Coimbatore for a housing scheme.

Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 11: In a unique form of protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a bridegroom in Kerala, Haja Hussain, came for his wedding ceremony riding on a camel holding an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) poster in his hands, on the outskirts of the capital city on Monday.

Accompanied by a large crowd mostly comprising his friends and relatives, Hussain carried a placard which read "Reject CAA, Boycott NRC and NPR" as he arrived at the wedding hall in Vazhimukku, about 20 km from Thiruvananthapuram, on a camel back.

Haja Hussain said that he chose to do this to express his protest against the CAA.

"Along with the ' mahr' (the custom where the groom hands over gold or money to the bride), I also gave a copy of the Constitution. CAA should be rejected," said Haja Hussain, who is a local businessman.
