IAS officers forced to do rounds to the HC

Share

The Andhra Pradesh government, and especially the IAS officers are forced to roam around the High Court for the National Employment Guarantee Scheme arrears that are yet to be paid to them. Superiors have been asked to visit the court every single time there’s a hearing.

Panchayati Raj and Finance Ministry officials Gopalakrishna Dwivedi and Harish Rawat appeared before the high court today and said that Rs. 400 Crores have already been paid and that the remaining Rs. 1,100 Crores would be paid within the next week. The petitioners said that the amount had been deposited into the Panchayat’s account, and not into the contractors’ account. They also brought to the notice of the HC that the government was not giving the contractors their dues and that it was harassing them. The HC asked the government to submit a report after having paid the contractors their dues.

The Centre and the state argued separately in the HC, with the state lawyers saying that the Centre should release the funds, while the Centre lawyers saying that the funds have already been released. The HC directed them to submit an affidavit on who paid how much. Justice Battu Devanand ordered that all the five hundred people under the employment bills scheme should be paid the money within the next two weeks.

Share

Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati’s social drama, Bheemla Nayak is announced for theatrical release on 12th January next year. The makers have been extensively publicizing the release date in all the promotional material they have been releasing.

As per our well-place sources, the makers of Chiranjeevi’s Acharya intended to lock Sankranthi release for the film. They approached the makers of Bheemla Nayak, requesting them to push the release to the subsequent Republic Day Weekend so that they could occupy the Sankranthi slot.

However, the makers of Pawan Kalyan’s Bheemla Nayak were adamant about altering the release date and decline the advancements of the makers of Acharya. They opted to stick to 12th January release.

The makers of Bheemla Nayak then released the first glimpse of Pawan Kalyan from the film to affirm that the multi-starrer will indeed be releasing on 12th January. The makers of Acharya are now in search of an alternative release date.

Google updates Meet app to warn users causing echo

Share

Washington: Seems like Google has finally realised that it’s high time to make meetings more convenient by updating its video-communication service app that will now warn users with an alert message if it thinks they are creating an echo.

The company announced the news in a blog post on Monday that the Google Meet app will soon tell you when it thinks you’re creating an echo in calls.

For the unversed, currently, the users of Meet stay unaware if they are creating an irritating echo for the meeting unless other participants interrupt to inform them. Now, presumably with this update, the meetings can be easier.

As per The Verge, Google says that Meet already controls audio to remove echo. But it can’t account for all remote desktop speaker and microphone configurations that result in audio being fed back into the call.

The new echo warning update will appear as both a red dot on the Meet interface as well as a notification and a text alert.

The users can click the notification to get the steps of fixing the echo, which includes muting the microphone, lowering the speaker volume, or switching to headphones.

The warnings will be enabled by default and won’t require any admin intervention to enable.

According to The Verge, Google says that the new echo warnings are rolling out now to Google Workspace and G Suite Basic and Business customers. The rollout will take nearly 15 days to complete.

Facebook testing to add video, voice call features back to its main app

Share

Washington: American social media giant Facebook is now testing features to add voice and video calls back to the main app.

These features, which are currently part of the standalone Messenger app, were originally spun out of the company’s main app in 2011 and officially removed in 2014.

According to The Verge, these two are several of Messenger features that Facebook has introduced in its other products like Oculus virtual reality headsets and Portal video cameras.

Facebook hasn’t shared whether it plans to bring other parts of Messenger back into the fold, but Messenger’s director of product management did tell a news outlet that “you’re going to start to see quite a bit more of this over time.”

The California-based company confirmed to The Verge that it has been testing voice and video calls in “several countries, including the US.”

However, Facebook didn’t share how many users will see the features, or what this means for the standalone Messenger app in the future other than “for a full-featured messaging, audio and video call experience, people should continue using Messenger.”

Adding the voice and video call feature to the Facebook app makes about as much sense as spinning off Messenger in the first place.

It simply means there would be one less app to switch between while doing other things on your computer or phone, but it also means you’ll have to interact with, or at least see Facebook on the way, something not everyone would be interested in doing.

There’s also the risk that weaving Messenger into Facebook draws the same kinds of criticism that unifying Messenger and Instagram direct messages did. It seems like it makes a giant company like Facebook even harder to break up — which may be the point.

Also, this isn’t the first instance that Facebook has considered getting Messenger back into the main app, either. As per the Verge, in 2019, the company tested bringing text chats back with a dedicated inbox and splashed “from Facebook” across Oculus, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Union Minister arrested over remarks against CM Thackeray

Share

Union minister and senior BJP leader Narayan Rane was on Tuesday arrested from Chiplun city in Ratnagiri district over his remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Police have arrested Rane for participating in a Jan Ashirwad rally in Konkan. However, Narayan Rane filed a preliminary bail petition in the Ratnagiri court and it was cancelled. He was arrested by the police, who entered the field immediately after the bail petition was rejected. This created a tense situation in Maharashtra.

However, in the wake of the arrest, Narayan Rane filed a quash petition in the Mumbai High Court. A division bench of Justices SS Shinde and NJ Jamadar, however, refused to hear his plea and said mentioning of the petition was not permitted and asked his lawyer to follow the procedure.

Four FIRs have been registered against Union Minister Narayan Rane in different areas. They are currently under investigation.
