Seven arrested in Bengal on terror charges
Kolkata: Seven people, including five Sri Lankans, were arrested in the city on suspicion of being involved in terror activities, police said on Sunday.
The seven people were arrested late Saturday. On Sunday, they were presented before a court which remanded them to police custody till August 24.
“A group of nine people, including several Sri Lankans, checked into a hotel in Chandni Chowk without any valid documents. While two of them checked out subsequently, we have arrested seven, including five Sri Lankans,” said a police officer.
“We are interrogating them to know for what purpose they were in the city,” said the officer, refusing to comment if the Sri Lankans are members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam separatist militant group.
West Bengal has already sounded a terror alert following intelligence reports that terrorists groups would be trying to create disturbances in the state.
“I have received inputs from the intelligence agency that some terrorist organisations are trying to create disturbance in Bengal. We have sounded an alert at railway stations, airports, important public places, vital installations and public buildings,” Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said earlier in the week.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
