Earlier this month, the Bihar government had written to the Registrar General of India, saying that the state has not received the format of questions for the proposed NPR.

Every school will have to forward any complaint to the nearest police station if it merits a case to be registered under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

About 10 districts, including Katihar and Begusarai, reported a dip of 17 feet to 25 feet in its water table and Patna too reported a 17-feet dip. The report also says the water table in the state has gone down from 10 to 200 feet in the last 10 years.

The leader said though the initial idea was to forge a front having all non-NDA parties, there could be new formulations if RJD continued its recalcitrant position, particularly its aversion to taking help from Kishor and also insistence on projecting Tejashwi as the CM face of the Grand Alliance.

As per Central university norms for appointment of V-C, no Vigilance “examination” or probe into complaints of misconduct should be pending against a candidate for 10 years before appointment.

Kishor has cited data from NITI Aayog, the HRD Ministry and the Bihar government to show how the state is poorly placed on count of 18 indices.

He said about three lakh people from all sections of society at the panchayat level had already registered with his initiative and another seven lakh members would be added over the next 100 days.

While he has categorically ruled out collaborating with Tejashwi Yadav-led opposition alliance, Congress sources have confirmed that Kishor may play a key role for the party during the 2020 Assembly elections.

Soon after the JD(U) made its allegations, the “bus owner” — Mangal Pal — said former RJD MLA Anirudh Prasad Yadav had got the bus registered in his name with a “promise of political favours”.

The RJD said Sharad Yadav was in their national executive and has been playing his role in national politics. The party also put to rest speculation that it was planning to engage poll strategist Prashant Kishor for the state polls.

Rai has claimed that other RJD leaders too were disenchanted with the current leadership and might join hands with Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar.

Kanhaiya Kumar said he does not bother about some people throwing motor oil, ink, eggs or stones, but is recharged every day with the overwhelming crowd support.

Thakur knew people in position in Muzaffarpur district administration and was a member of the Bihar government’s accreditation committee — the government gave his newspaper advertisement without ever checking the number of copies it printed and sold.

The letter asks principals if they were “opposing NRC under the influence of a particular political party”. The BDO, Satish Kumar, later withdrew it, citing a “typing mistake”, and also served a showcause notice to the assistant who had drafted the letter.

Kishor and Varma had tweeted against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and NRC on multiple occasions and urged Nitish to oppose the new citizenship law.

Speaking to reporters after a party meeting, Nitish said JD(U) MPs would take up the matter at the next NDA meeting.

There have been pro-CAA gatherings....But media is not giving due space to them, said Sushil Modi.

On Sunday, the police had conducted searches at Imam’s paternal village of Kako in Jehanabad district and had detained three of his relatives for several hours.

At 6 am on February 1, Vinay, along with Mukesh Singh, 32, Akshay Singh, 31, and Pawan Gupta, 25, are slated to hang for the December 2012 Delhi gang rape.
