This programme was hosted by India last year in October and a protocol was finalised for the enumeration of snow leopards. Once the enumeration is completed, the plan is to double the population of snow leopards in the world. Another video that has gone viral is of a tigress with five cubs, which are in a playful mood. Although the exact location is not known, it is somewhere in north India. "Mother #tigress with five cubs. The view which will bring smiles to #conservationists all around. From north India.

Shafali Verma who is now popular for being India’s youngest woman player in T20 International, had to disguise herself as a to undergo training. The 15-year-old batswoman enrolled in a cricket academy for boys as there were no academies for girls in her hometown, Rohtak in Haryana. “No one was ready to induct her in any academy because there was not a single one for girls in Rohtak. I literally begged them to give her a chance but in vain,” lamented Shafali’s father Sanjeev Verma. At the age of 9, he asked his daughter to cut short her hair to look like a boy, when the cricket academies in the district turned down the girl’s application, TOI <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/indias-youngest-t20i-debutante-trained-as-a-boy-as-no-rohtak-academy-would-admit-girls/articleshow/71414629.cms?from=mdr">reported</a>. While her father was afraid of the academy finding out the truth, Shafali’s school — St Paul School — decided to start a girls’ cricket team. In a recent Twenty20 International, Shefali played against South Africa women at Lalabhai Contractor Stadium, Surat, winning India 51 runs in the match. Shafali hit 46 for 33 balls, with two sixes taking the total to 140 as South Africa managed to score 89. <div type="twitter" handle="BCCIWomen" handlename="BCCI Women" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/808960318600683521/2WT3KdVo_normal.jpg" favoritecount="11623" retweetcount="779" status="What a moment this is for the hard-hitting batter Shafali Verma, who makes her India debut today.

 “The aim is to play as long as possible for India and keep winning matches for my country. I am feeling a bit relaxed now, after getting a duck on debut. The senior players backed me after the first match and I am glad I contributed to the team’s victory,” Shafali said. The idea to play cricket <a href="https://www.india.com/sports/india-cricketer-shefali-verma-grew-up-training-in-guise-of-boy-3791901/">seeded in 2013</a>, when Shafali saw Sachin Tendulkar play a Ranji Trophy match against Haryana. Women in cricket is still a taboo in the Indian society. As for Shafali, the neighbours and relatives passed jeering comments saying that girls have no future in cricket. “When she first came on TV while playing for Velocity team in the Women’s T20 Challenge in May, all those who were criticising us were dumbstruck. I felt so proud,” Sanjeev recalled.

The latter was instructed to inform <keyword id="1706029" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pradeep-Kumar-Sinha">Pradeep Kumar Sinha</keyword>, the Cabinet Secretary, of the details of the rift and the progress of certain cases. The official deposition, which followed an order from the Prime Minister’s Office, came amid complaints that the rift between the two was holding up the CBI’s investigation of a number of politically sensitive cases such as the Vijay Mallya wilful defaulter case and the 2G spectrum allocation issue. But what exactly are the reasons for this rift? The primary reason has to do with the appointment of Asthana, a former IPS officer from Gujarat, as the agency’s special director in October 2017. A petition was filed by Common Cause, an NGO, against the appointment, citing his close relations with a firm, Sterling Biotech Ltd, that was the subject of an investigation by the Income Tax Department and CBI for money laundering. Asthana was said to be a person of interest in the case, with suspicion that he had received bribes from the company. However, the Supreme Court subsequently cleared Asthana’s appointment the following month. It bears mentioning that the central government had also defended Asthana’s appointment, given his track record of heading up a number of important <keyword id="72743" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="investigations">investigations</keyword> such as the Godhra riots issue and the AgustaWestland scam. Verma was said to be opposed to Asthana’s appointment, and had reportedly raised objections about the same issue. Concurrently, Asthana was gradually stripped of his responsibility in leading a number of important investigations. However, he made his voice heard on a number of issues, and opposed Verma’s appointment of two senior officials - RP Upadhyay and Rajeev Krishna- who were subsequently disqualified in May by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) , a government body to address corruption and vet appointments to the CBI. The rift reached breaking point last month. Given that Verma was on a work trip overseas, he missed a meeting of the CVC on July 12th. However, straying from protocol, he did not give Asthana the power to represent him. The meeting was for the induction of certain IPS officers to replace the officials that had been removed from consideration against Verma’s wishes. The CBI told the CVC that Asthana did not have the power to represent Verma since he was under investigation. Now what? The Cabinet Secretary is expected to mediate the conflict. Asthana is said to be a favourite of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, so it seems likely that he will maintain his position at the CBI. At this point, the institutional integrity of the agency has already been compromised. The government will try and prevent the rift from getting further out of hand and hope for a speedy resolution. A number of cases are in the process of being investigated, and given that this is an election year, the resolution of at least a few of them will be necessary.

Here’s why the top two officials of India’s main investigative agency are fighting with each other

Every year, the National Space Society works with the <keyword id="6360409" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="NASA">NASA</keyword> Ames Research Center to conduct a student competition in which teams from around the world design future orbital space settlements that will house thousands of people. This year the contest received more than 1,500 submissions from an estimated 6,000 students. The Grand Prize for the 2017 Space Settlement Contest went to a small team of two students (grade 10), Shashwat Goel and Ankita Phulia from New Delhi, India. Their winning design Anastasi is an underwater settlement. It is a low cost simulation of artificial habitats in outer space. It will provide insights on the conditions of early orbital space settlements as well as serve as a training facility for the early inhabitants of these. Anastasi will be a profitable venture proving the commercial viability of colonizing unexplored territories. It will be located in the Dead Sea and will have immense benefits for the region as it aims to desalinate enclosed areas of the sea and introduce marine life that could not survive earlier. The DPS students were mentored by student mentor Aditya Sengupta and teacher <keyword id="293763" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anil-Kumar-Verma">Anil Kumar Verma</keyword> of Delhi Public School RK Puram. One of two grand prize students along with hundreds of other contest-winning students and teachers from the United States and countries across the globe will converge in St. Louis this month for the National Space Society's 36th annual International Space Development Conference to celebrate and engage people in the goal of space settlement. They will present their projects to conference attendees. The event is set for May 24-29 at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel. "The students attending the ISDC are so passionate and excited to be there to share their ideas and projects. There is so much to learn from them, their cultures, and creative insights," said Lynne F. Zielinski, NSS vice president of public affairs and chair of NSS' education and outreach committee. "We are always dazzled by their insightful and futuristic designs. Their enthusiasm is infectious and gives us all hope that we will soon be living and working in space ourselves. These students are the ones to take us there." Winning students Aditya Sengupta and Ankita Phulia had this to say, "Our school (Delhi Public School R.K.Puram, India) has a club called the Aerospace Society (Aeross) that has been participating in the <keyword id="4498040" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="nasa-ames-contest">NASA Ames Contest</keyword> since 2013. That's how we got to know about the contest. We were very nervous about sending an unconventional entry which was not an 'orbital settlement in space' and it was unbelievable when we got to know that we had won the grand prize. Winning the prize has strengthened our belief in our work and we will further improve the concept as we hope that it becomes a reality one day and serves as an important step in the path to space colonization." Teacher In-charge Mr. <keyword id="80658" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Anil-Kumar">Anil Kumar</keyword> Verma said,"The NASA Ames Contest has not only developed an interest towards aerospace, it has motivated students to come up with creative concepts and has helped build a temperament towards research at an early age," said Teacher-In-Charge Anil Kumar Verma. "It provides the students a great platform to gain knowledge and getting their work recognized by NASA encourages them to work hard," he said. Meanwhile, student mentor Aditya Sengupta said,"This has been my third year in the competition and it feels great that a team I mentored has won the Grand Prize," said Aditya Sengupta, the student mentor for the project. "I came up with the idea of how the oceans were quite similar to space and proposed this to Shashwat and Ankita as a side-research project. It was initially not intended to be submitted to the NASA Ames Contest but because the research came out quite well, they decided to submit it to Ames even though it was a 'Space Settlement Design Competition.' It was very exciting to see the students working so hard on a very abstract and challenging concept as both were well-versed with Space Settlement Design but Underwater Settlement Design forced them to step out of their comfort zone," he said.

An <keyword id="1455128" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-External-Affairs-Ministry">Indian External Affairs Ministry</keyword> official has thanked a 17-year-old hacker who exposed flaws in Indian diplomatic missions' web sites that allowed intruders to gain access to non-public information, and said the problems were being fixed. 
 "Thank you for your advice," <keyword id="2614556" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sanjay-Kumar-Verma">Sanjay Kumar Verma</keyword>, Joint Secretary, eGovernance and <keyword id="6363148" type="TECHNOLOGY" weightage="20" keywordseo="information-Technology">Information Technology</keyword> wrote to the hacker who uses the identity, <keyword id="3856615" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="kapustkiy">Kapustkiy</keyword>. "We are fixing codes one by one." 
 
"Your help in probing websites of various Indian embassies is a great help," he added. 
 
Kapustkiy, who posted Verma's message to him on his Twitter account and copied to an IANS correspondent, has broken into web sites of Indian diplomatic missions in eight countries. 
 
Meanwhile, the Indian Consulate here said that its web site was being secured. Kapustkiy had posted on a web site some personal information of 418 people registered with the mission, that he said he got by intruding into its web site. 
 
"The consulate has taken immediate action to secure the contents of its website," L. T. Ngaihte, the head of chancery, said in a note to IANS. 
 In addition to the New York consulate, Kapustkiy had broken into web sites of Indian diplomatic missions in South Africa, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Italy, Switzerland and <keyword id="83671" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Romania">Romania</keyword> and put some information he had taken from there on pastebin.com, which is open for public posting of information. 
 
Kapustkiy, who said he is a student in Tokyo, asserted, "It took me only three seconds to gain access to their database." 
 
He said that his intentions in carrying out the hack were good and that he did not consider himself a hacker. 
 
"I didn't want to do any damage but to let administrators to pay attention (to the vulnerabilities)," Kapustkiy told IANS in an interview conducted on Twitter messaging. 
 
He said that he decided to post some information on pastebin.com because he did not get a response from web site administrators when he pointed out the flaws. 
 
"While we appreciate your help, please do not post the details on Paste Bin," Verma wrote to him. 
 
Verma's response was in reply to Kapustkyi's email with suggestions on fixing the security flaws. He used ProtonMail, a secure service that operates under the strict Swiss laws that protect the identity of users and the communications. 
 
The personal information from the New York Consulate General that was posted on pastebin.com has been removed while some non-personal information remained as of Wednesday evening. The material from other Indian missions were scrubbed earlier.

Although the plots and the genres widely vary, there is one thing in common – all these four movies have turned out to be <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword> disasters. 
 
Fugly hit 1,100-plus screens in India and managed to collect Rs 2.95 crore on the opening day in spite of mixed reviews. <keyword id="303" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Director">Director</keyword> Kabir Sadanand was happy, though. “Good 1st day for @FuglyTheFilm, domestic box office collection of 2.95 cr. So guys go out there and watch the film, fight against the Ugly,” Sadanand tweeted on Saturday. The movie netted around Rs 9.5 crore after the first three days (Rs 7.23 crore as per trade figure). Although it had a big release, the movie’s budget is quite low (around Rs 16 crore) and Fugly just might avoid ending up in the red. 
 
But even then, Sadanand’s third outing as a director takes him nowhere near his earlier release <keyword id="30111" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Tum-Milo-Toh-Sahi">Tum Milo Toh Sahi</keyword> (2010). Fugly is all about four close <keyword id="343" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Friends">friends</keyword> – <keyword id="330" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dev">Dev</keyword> (<keyword id="1466941" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mohit-Marwah">Mohit Marwah</keyword>), <keyword id="6815" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Devi">Devi</keyword> (<keyword id="1788525" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kiara-Advani">Kiara Advani</keyword>), <keyword id="1438" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gaurav">Gaurav</keyword> (<keyword id="132330" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="boxer-Vijender-Singh">boxer Vijender Singh</keyword>) and <keyword id="967" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aditya">Aditya</keyword> (<keyword id="1664323" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arfi-Lamba">Arfi Lamba</keyword>) – living a fast-track life in and around <keyword id="66" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Delhi">Delhi</keyword>. But when the corrupt cop <keyword id="2343896" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="R-S-Chautala">R.S.

The outcome is a wobbly plot that fails to delve into the myriad layers of reality or string together a robust, coherent human drama. At the end, the movie with a mission and a message (it is bound to remind you of <keyword id="3735" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rang-de-basanti">Rang de Basanti</keyword>) simply ends up in a meaningless mess. 
 
The other four flicks look like box office bombs although 18.11… A code of secrecy endeavours to decode terrorism. And this time, a <keyword id="49316" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Software-engineer">software engineer</keyword> (<keyword id="2343901" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rehal-Khan">Rehal Khan</keyword>) comes to the rescue with a hi-tech alert system and fights off all the baddies. The opening day collection of 18.11 stood at an approx. Rs 15 lakh, but the weekend numbers are not in yet. 
 
 
 
Prakash Saini’s Chal Bhaag tells the tale of three crooks – <keyword id="2333769" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Munna-Supari">Munna Supari</keyword> (<keyword id="109372" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Deepak-Dobriyal">Deepak Dobriyal</keyword>), <keyword id="320578" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Daler-Singh">Daler Singh</keyword> (<keyword id="2249438" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Varun-Mehra">Varun Mehra</keyword>) and <keyword id="6412911" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="bunty">Bunty</keyword> (<keyword id="947916" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tarun-Bajaj">Tarun Bajaj</keyword>). A deadly game of hide and seek with the police begins after they are charged with a political murder and in the process, you get a chilling glimpse of fake encounters and other atrocities. But the movie fails to retain the momentum or the irreverent, light-hearted tone that would have made it a well-rounded <keyword id="530399" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Black-Comedy">black comedy</keyword>. Official numbers are not in yet, but according to industry insiders, nett collection of the first three days has fallen well below Rs 1 crore. 
 
And the same holds true for the other two movies – Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai and Unforgettable. Both are box office washouts although Machhli may hook the horror movie fans. As expected, the plot is a cliché where <keyword id="173" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ayesha">Ayesha</keyword> and Uday (<keyword id="437076" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Swara-Bhaskar">Swara Bhaskar</keyword> and <keyword id="344170" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhanu-Uday">Bhanu Uday</keyword>), a happy couple, fall prey to <keyword id="589050" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Paranormal-Activities">paranormal activities</keyword>. It has all the usual trappings to get you <keyword id="843642" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="spooked">spooked</keyword>, including an act of exorcism for a climax. On the other hand, Unforgettable features the eternal love triangle, with <keyword id="23365" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Iqbal-Khan">Iqbal Khan</keyword>, <keyword id="551555" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Alka-Verma">Alka Verma</keyword> and <keyword id="276456" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Hazel-Crowney">Hazel Crowney</keyword> in the lead roles. This is another <keyword id="2076872" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Box-office-bomb">box office bomb</keyword> that could not garner more than Rs 20 lakh on Day I and then sank into oblivion. As it is a high-budget movie and shot at the UAE, it is quite likely that Unforgettable would not be able to cover the costs.

Box Office: Fugly Is Messy In Spite Of Limited Success; For The Rest,

The deceased constable has been identified as Devendra while the SI has been identified as <keyword id="6363061" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="ashok-kumar">Ashok Kumar</keyword>. Omkar Dhimar, brother of the accused Moti Dhimar, was killed in an encounter on Wednesday morning. The two policemen had reportedly gone to serve a legal notice for attachment of property to a history-sheeter named Moti over his alleged liquor smuggling activities when they were ambushed by his aides, stripped and assaulted with sticks and other weapons and taken hostage. A search operation was conducted and additional forces were called after the policemen, who had managed to flee from the site of the incident, informed the officials. The two police personnel were found with <keyword id="240509" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="serious-injuries">serious injuries</keyword> in a field in Nagla Dhimar village under Sidhpura police station and were taken to a local hospital. However, Devendra succumbed to his injuries later during treatment. The police team has recovered Ashok Kumar's bike from the spot. Another unknown bike has also been found. The policeman's bike was found fallen on the ground with their uniform and shoes on top. It is believed that the attackers also humiliated the cops by stripping them and then assaulting them. According to ASP Aditya Verma, "A <keyword id="6375366" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="police-officer">police officer</keyword> and constable of Sidhpura police station went to Nagla Dhimar and Nagla Bhikari on information, where they were assaulted.

<ul><li>Tata Pravesh's latest film is conceptualised by <keyword id="7067090" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wunderman-Thompson">Wunderman Thompson</keyword> South Asia. </li><li>The film brings alive the attributes of Tata Pravesh’s steel doors. </li></ul>What do we expect from a door? That it will be strong so it can provide adequate security to the people inside. It will be good looking, lending sophistication and status to the inhabitants. It will be durable and require minimal maintenance. With a perfect mix of beauty, strength and durability, wooden doors remain the benchmark and the preferred option. Consumers more often than not, do not want to venture outside their comfort zone and try a door made from a new material. Besides little awareness of doors made from materials other than wood (apart from MDF, HDPE or PVC which are used for internal doors and for doors of bathrooms and kitchens), they are skeptical about steel doors and harbour doubts about how they will look, how expensive they will be and whether they will rust. Tata Pravesh’s objective is to drive brand awareness and subsequently, brand consideration about a new category of steel doors and windows. It is faced with the task of convincing consumers to opt for steel wall opening solutions which have unmatched strength, are fire and termite-resistant, weatherproof and maintenance-free. Tata Pravesh has the best of both - the strength of steel and the elegance of wood. The challenge was to shake the consumer out of his/her inertia and make him/her sit up and listen Selecting a known face - <keyword id="2921860" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gajraj-Rao">Gajraj Rao</keyword> of Badhaai Ho fame, Wunderman Thompson South Asia has conceptualized a 360-degree campaign anchored by TV, supported by print, OOH, POS and digital. The film #AkelaHiKaafiHai is the story of an unsuspecting consumer and a cunning salesman. The naïve consumer - played by Gajraj Rao - looking for a door, enters a multi-brand building materials outlet. The salesman at the store immediately recognizes the naivete written large across Gajraj’s face and thinks he can take him for a ride. Determined to make the most of this wonderful opportunity, he summons all his powers of persuasion to sell him an ‘A1 lakdi ka darwaza’. How far will the salesman go to make the sale? Will Gajraj be conned? Or will he have the last laugh? Watch the film to find out. Discover the stunning range of Tata Pravesh doors and windows which are chockful of attributes. In other words, Akela Hi Kaafi Hai thanks to the perfect combination of strength, style, security and service. <div type="Youtube" id="ZwDLOD7SF6U" title="#AkelaHiKaafiHai" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZwDLOD7SF6U/mqdefault.jpg"></div>Commenting on the film, P. Anand, Chief - Services &amp; Solutions, Tata Steel Ltd., said, “When buying a door or window for their house, consumers in India mostly consider wood. Therefore, to establish a new category of steel doors &amp; windows, the problems with wood needed to be brought to the forefront. The new Tata Pravesh film - 'Akela Hi Kaafi Hai' with Gajraj Rao as the brand endorser, attempts to put Tata Pravesh in the consideration set of consumers by offering a one stop solution against the drawbacks of wood.” Commenting on the creative concept, <keyword id="220787" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Senthil-Kumar">Senthil Kumar</keyword>, Chief Creative Officer, Wunderman Thompson India, said, “Wooden doors continue to be coveted in spite of their obvious drawbacks. The film aims to break the mindset of potential Tata Pravesh consumers for whom doors = wooden doors, trying to get them to question if wood is good enough. The objective is to pique their interest enough for them to enquire about Tata Pravesh steel doors with strength of steel and elegance of wood and eventually show wood the door.” Commenting on the creative concept, Arjun Mukherjee, ECD &amp; VP, Wunderman Thompson, Kolkata, said, “The setting of the film and the characters had to be such that they would resonate with consumers in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns - the target audience for the brand. Driven by excellent performances from Gajraj Rao and Saanand Verma, the film emphatically makes the point that when you are opting for a wooden door you are making a big mistake that you’ll live to regret.” Vijay Jacob Parakkal, Senior VP &amp; Managing Partner, Wunderman Thompson, Kolkata, said, “Being a new brand in a nascent category, it was imperative to establish the category benefits vis-à-vis wooden doors. The film clearly establishes the superiority of Tata Pravesh doors over wooden doors in an entertainingly quirky manner.”

Turkey's death toll climbed to 24,617, Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said in a news conference. In Syria, the total number of confirmed deaths stands at 3,575, including 2,167 in rebel-held areas in the northwest, according to the White Helmets civil defence group. An additional 1,408 deaths have been recorded in government-controlled territories, according to Syrian state media, which cited the country's health ministry. Meanwhile, An Indian national missing since the earthquake in Turkey on February 6 was found dead under the debris of a hotel in Malatya, the Indian Embassy in Turkey informed in a tweet on Saturday. The deceased, identified as Vijay Kumar, was on a business trip to Turkey. "We received a report yesterday that his luggage and passport were found but there wasn't a body. We were hoping for his well-being, that he would have escaped. His father had passed away around a month back and now this has happened," said Gaurav Kala, a relative of Vijay Kumar. Kumar's family members were in deep shock as they learned of the tragic news. They cried inconsolably. He is survived by his mother, wife, and six-year-old child. He had lost his father about one and a half months back. "We received a call from Embassy in the afternoon. They wanted confirmation for identification, so we told them about a mark on the left hand. He worked in a company in Bengaluru &amp; left from here on 22nd Jan. He was scheduled to return on 20th Feb, said Kala. The Indian Embassy in Turkey informed on Saturday that the mortal remains of Kumar have been found. "We inform you with sorrow that the mortal remains of Shri Vijay Kumar, an Indian national missing in Turkiye since the February 6 earthquake, have been found and identified among the debris of a hotel in Malatya, where he was on a business trip," the Embassy said in a tweet. "Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. We are making arrangements for the earliest possible transportation of his mortal remains to his family," it added. Ministry of External Affairs had said earlier this month that ten Indians were struck in remote parts of Turkey after the country was hit by two "biggest natural disaster" earthquakes. Still, they are safe while one citizen is missing. "There are 10 individuals who are stuck in some remote parts of the affected area but they are safe. We have one Indian national missing, on a business visit to Turkey's Malatya. And he has not been traced for the last two days. We are in touch with his family and the company in Bengaluru," Sanjay Verma, Secretary (West) in Ministry of External Affairs, had said at a media briefing on 'Operation Dost.'

The bull run in Indian equities that continued from mid-2020 up until late 2021 made good money for many investors and promoters along the way. Analysts say the IPO frenzy is over and may remain still for some time. “I think the market flies but not for every company, for good companies there is still enough demand because overall sentiment of the market has changed. The IPO frenzy is now over as there has been a bit of mismatched expectations of promoters and investors who are asking for a fairly low value. Therefore promoters are thinking if they should list now or wait,” said Yatin Shah, co-founder &amp; joint CEO at IIFL Wealth. “This reconciliation factor, which is clearly seen among many founders and promoters which were thinking of the next value and today they are not getting that. This is specially for tech companies where 100% new demand is not there. This phase will continue for some time,” added Shah. Chairperson of data and analytics company registers a wealth of ₹5,500 crore post stellar IPO listing gains The IPO boom helped even chairperson and executive director, AV Venkatraman of LatentView Analytics aged 52 to enter the list of India’s richest man. Venkatraman is the richest new entrant in this software &amp; services sector with a wealth of ₹5,500 crore, as per IIFL Wealth Hurun India Rich List 2022 report. For those who don’t know, shares of Latent View Analytics made a strong listing on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE as it more than doubled investors' money by listing at 169% premium over the issue price. Interestingly, the company’s IPO witnessed one of the highest subscriptions by 326 times. The 15-year old company provides analytics services such as data and analytics consulting, business analytics and insights, advanced predictive analytics, data engineering, and digital solutions.
