Delhi Confidential: Prominent guests at Anil Baluni’s Igas celebrations

Ramp hitch: The Election Commission on Friday organised a conference for persons with disabilities to discuss ways to make the poll process more accessible. Even as many encouraging words were spoken by senior officials, activists took note of the absence of a ramp to reach the stage from the front. There was a ramp backstage that was used by the artistes and other dignitaries.

One of the speakers used the ramp initially, but on second occasion, she was helped by others through the stairs to reach the stage. An activist remarked that inclusion would have been complete had all guests used the ramp.

Koo debut: The Enforcement Directorate appears to be embracing ‘swadeshi’. The anti-money laundering agency on Thursday made its debut on the Koo app, the ‘desi’ version of Twitter. Its first post on Koo was about a prosecution complaint it has filed against Anil Jindal, chairman of the SRS Group, for allegedly cheating home-buyers. On Friday, it posted about attachment of properties belonging to Kashmiri separatist leader Shabir Shah. The agency also asked its followers on Twitter to follow it on Koo.

Senior officials said the agency plans to make the Koo app its principal social media platform. In due course, it plan to share information on Koo before other apps being operated from foreign countries.
