Massive explosion felt across Houston, President Trump To Face Friendly shaking city and scattering debris Crowd At March For Life

Anti-abortion activists march toward the U.S. Supreme Court during the 2019 March for Life in Washington, D.C. This year, President Trump is expected to speak at the rally.

Reported Houston building explosion image. (KTRK) HOUSTON – A large explosion at a building in Houston early Friday was felt for miles away and left rubble scattered in the area. The explosion shook other buildings about 4:30 a.m., with reports on Twitter of a boom felt across the city. Houston police tweeted that they were responding to the explosion and officers were blocking off streets in

the area. There was no immediate confirmation from authorities of injuries, but KTRK-TV interviewed a man who said he saw a bloodied man walking around afterward. A f ire burned following the explosion, and a firefighter asked a TV reporter to move away because of potential hazards.

US declines UK extradition request of American diplomat’s wife involved in fatal accident

Washington [US], Jan 24 (ANI): The United States on Thursday declined the extradition request by the United Kingdom for an American diplomat’s wife who was involved in a fatal car accident. Anne Sacoolas was involved in a crash that killed Harry Dunn a 19-year old teenager, in central London. “At the time the accident occurred, and for the duration of her stay in the UK, the U.S. citizen driver, in this case, had immunity from criminal jurisdiction”, Sputnik quoted a representative for the State Department as saying.

in Davos, Switzerland. “Facebook will work together to re-elect Trump, and Trump will work to protect Facebook so that this situation cannot be changed and it makes me very concerned about the outcome for 2020.” Soros didn’t offer any evidence for his claim. “This is just plain wrong,” Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said in response. Soros has used his annual Davos speech as a platform to criticize the social media giant in the past. In 2018, he compared Facebook to a gambling company that fosters addiction among users, and last year reiterated the need to regulate technology firms. “Facebook basically has only one guiding principle: maximize your profits irrespective of what harm it may do to the world,” Soros said Thursday.

When thousands of anti-abortion rights activists march in Washington, D.C., on Friday, President Trump will be there. It’s the first time a sitting president will address the March for Life, an annual event organized decades ago in response to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Trump will face a friendly audience at a key moment — with his

impeachment trial underway, and just months to go before the 2020 election. The president has leaned in to his connection to religious and social conservatives, frequently praising “the evangelicals” who comprise a key portion of his base, and courting antiabortion rights groups like the Susan B. Anthony List.

“No, No America”: Thousands of Iraqis rally against US military presence Thousands of Iraqis rallied at two central Baghdad intersections on Friday after a prominent cleric

Supporters of Iraqi Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr carry placards depicting U.S. President Donald Trump at a protest against what they say is US presence and violations in Iraq. (Reuters)

called for a “million-strong” protest against the American military presence, following the US killing of an Iranian general and an Iraqi militia chief. The march called by Moqtada

al-Sadr aims to pressure Washington to pull out its troops, but many anti-government protesters fear it could overshadow their separate, months-long demonstrations that have challenged Iran-backed Shi’ite groups’ grip on power. Sadr opposes all foreign interference in Iraq but has recently aligned himself more closely with Iran, whose allies have dominated state institutions since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. Throngs of marchers started gathering early on Friday at al-Hurriya Square in central Baghdad and near around the city’s main university, Reuters witnesses said. Marchers avoided Tahrir square, symbol of mass protests against Iraq’ ruling elites.

US announces new visa rules to restrict ‘birth tourism’

Washington DC [USA], Jan 24 (ANI): The United States announced on Thursday (local time) that it will no longer issue temporary visitor (B-1/B-2) visas to foreigners seeking to enter the country for what it called “birth tourism” -- a practice it described as aimed at securing permanent American citizenship for the children by giving birth on the American soil. The rule will be effective from January 24 (Friday), as per a statement by White House Press Secretary. “Beginning January 24, 2020, the State Department will no longer issue temporary visitor (B-1/B-2) visas to aliens seeking to enter the United States for ‘birth tourism’ -- the practice of

travelling to the United States to secure automatic and permanent American citizenship for their children by giving

birth on American soil,” the statement read. The statement further stated that

the rule change is necessary to enhance public safety, national security, and the integrity of the country’s immigration system and that the birth tourism industry threatens to “overburden valuable hospital resources and is rife with criminal activity, as reflected in Federal prosecutions.” “C losing t his g l ar ing i m m i g r at i on l o op h o l e w i l l combat these endemic abuses and ultimately protect the United States from the national security risks created by this practice. it will also defend American taxpayers from having their hard-earned dollars siphoned away to finance and direct and downstream costs associated with birth tourism,” the statement read.

Coronavirus death toll mounts to 25 in China, infections spread China’s National Health Commission said 830 cases had been confirmed so far and 25 people had died as of Thursday.

new coronavirus has killed 25 people in China and infected more than 800, the government said on Friday, as the World Health Organisation declared it an emergency but stopped short of declaring the epidemic of international concern. China’s National Health Commission said 830 cases had been confirmed so far and 25 people had died as of Thursday. Most of the cases are in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the virus is believed to have originated late last year.Nonfatal cases have been found in at least seven other countries. Health officials fear the transmission rate could accelerate

as hundreds of millions of Chinese travel at home and abroad during week-long holidays for the Lunar New Year, which begins on Saturday. Nonetheless, it was a “bit too early” to consider the outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” WHO Emergency Committee panel chair Didier Houssin said after the body met in Geneva. Such a designation would have required countries to step up the international response. “Make no mistake, though, this is an emergency in China,” said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Three firefighters from the United States were killed Thursday as a large aircraft being used to battle bushfires crashed south of the Australian capital, Canberra, the Rural Fire Service in New South Wales said. The cause of the disaster was not immediately known. The plane went down Thursday afternoon as blazes were threatening parts of New South Wales, ending a brief lull in the country’s summer of disastrous wildfires. The plane was a C-130 Hercules operated by Coulson Aviation, a Canadian company that helped battle last year’s California fires. The aircraft crashed in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, about 70 miles south of Canberra, according to the Rural Fire Service.

Indian mission in China cancels Republic day celebration over coronavirus outbreak

Beijing [China], Jan 24 (ANI): Indian Embassy in Beijing on Friday called off the Republic Day reception scheduled to be held on January 26, taking into account the evolving situation due to coronavirus outbreak in China. Twenty-five people have been killed after developing pneumonia-like symptoms and at least 830 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported in China by the end of Thursday. “In view of the evolving situation due to the coronavirus outbreak in China as well as the decision of Chinese authorities to cancel public gathering and events, @ EOIBeijing has also decided to call off the Republic Day reception scheduled to be held @EOIBeijing on January 26th,” tweeted India in China. The Indian embassy also issued an advisory for people traveling from China to India and asked people from Wuhan to monitor their health closely.

Some experts say the move is a sign that North Korea is ready to toughen its stance on nuclear talks with the US. The official state news agency KCNA reported that Ri gave a speech as minister at a New Year dinner reception hosted by the foreign affairs ministry on Thursday in Pyongyang. Ri has led numerous inter-Korean talks over the past 15 years as the chairman of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country, the organization which handles South Korean affairs. However, he lacks experience negotiating with the United States and with nuclear issues.

‘3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy’s voice recreated’ In a first, researchers have recreated the sound produced by a 3,000-yearold mummified Egyptian priest by

3D printing his intact vocal tracts, an advance that may lead to new ways of listening to the vocalisations of ancient humans. The researchers, including those from the University of London in the UK, believe the Egyptian mummy, Nesyamun, lived during the politically volatile reign of pharaoh Ramses XI between 1099 and 1069 BC, over 3000

years ago. According to the study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, Nesyamun worked as a scribe and priest at the state temple of Karnak in Thebes — modern day Luxor — and his voice was an essential part of his ritual duties which involved spoken as well as sung elements. The scientists used an X-ray device called a computed tomography (CT) scan to perform a detailed analysis of Nesyamun’s intact mouth and throat. They then recreated the mummy’s voice box, or larynx, using 3D printing — a process which builds a threedimensional object from a computeraided design model, usually by adding material layer by layer.

Thermal scanners at Hankou Railway Station, Wuhan. Transport in the city will be closed down on Thursday as authorities try to curb the spread of the new coronavirus

Pandemic Fears Grow Over

am only prepared to make with appropriate consideration of all the evidence,” said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. An emergency meeting of experts will consider further evidence on whether to determine a global public health emergency on Thursday.

Wuhan, China, is cut off from the outside world in an unprecedented quarantine after a deadly virus killed 17 and infected 571

A row of Chinese soldiers block the entrance to the central Hankou Station in Wuhan, China, after the government put the city in lockdown.

China has told the residents of Wuhan that they would no longer be allowed to leave, as authorities step up efforts to halt the spread of a new coronavirus that originated in the city in December and has now killed 17 people and infected 571. “Without a special reason, city residents should not leave Wuhan,” the central city’s special command centre to combat the virus said on Thursday, according to state media. The move is meant to “effectively cut off the virus spread, resolutely curb the outbreak and guarantee the people’s health and safety,” the notice said, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Stations and the airport were closed from 10am (02:00 GMT) with buses, the metro system, ferries and long-distance shuttle buses also suspended. All public gatherings were cancelled in the city of 11 million residents. China confirms spread of coronavirus, surge in new infections (1:37) The decision came as hundreds of millions of people are travelling across China for the Lunar New Year holiday, which starts on Friday, and state television said the number of confirmed infections had risen to 571. Most patients are in Wuhan and the surrounding province of Hubei, but cases have appeared elsewhere in China and countries including Thailand, South Korea and the United States.

Officials confirm first US case of coronavirus

A United States citizen who recently returned from a trip to central China has been diagnosed with the new virus that has sparked an outbreak and stringent monitoring around the world, a spokesman for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

said on Tuesday. The man returned to the Seattle area in the middle of last week after travelling to the Wuhan area, where the coronavirus outbreak began. The man is in his 30s and is in good condition at a hospital in Everett, outside Seattle. The US is the fifth country to report seeing the illness, following China, Thailand, Japan and South Korea.Late last week, US health officials began screening passengers from central China at three US airports. Officials around the world have implemented similar airport screenings in hopes of containing the virus during the busy Lunar New Year travel season.

You cannot get into revenge zone with New Zealand players, they are so nice

uckland [New Zealand], Jan 23 (ANI): Ahead of their series, India skipper Virat Kohli said they have no feeling of revenge against New Zealand, who knocked Men in Blue out of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. New Zealand defeated India by 18 runs in the semi-finals of the World Cup in July last year. “Not really. Even if you think about revenge, these guys are so nice that you cannot get into that zone. Honestly, we get along really well with these guys and it is all about being competitive on the field,” Kohli said in the pre-match press conference here on Thursday when asked if this series is about revenge. Kohli said they were happy when New Zealand qualified for the final of the tournament and this series is all about ‘two quality sides’ playing good cricket. “They are a quality side and we really have a lot of respect for them and vice-versa, I think they have a lot of respect for us. We actually were happy for them when they qualified for the final because when you lose, you have to look at the larger picture and

it meant a lot for them as well as a side. So, I do not think this is about any kind of revenge at all, it is just about two quality sides playing good cricket,” he said. However, in the final, New Zealand were beaten by England. Kohli also heaped praise on KL Rahul, who has been on a sublime form, saying that the latter is a ‘total team man’. “Rahul doing well with the gloves has really opened up another kind of scenario for us where is gives us a lot more balance in playing an extra batter... He is open to accept any kind of role. He is a total team man,” he said. India are scheduled to compete against New Zealand in five T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests, starting from January 24.

Injured Sania Mirza exits Australian Open with calf injury

Sania Mirza’s first Grand Slam outing after maternity leave ended with an early exit as the Indian ace retired mid-way into her women’s doubles firstround match due to a calf injury, at Melbourne on Thursday. Sania and her Ukrainian partner Nadiia Kichenok, who came into the major after winning the doubles title at the Hobart International, were trailing 2-6 0-1 against the Chinese team of Xinyun Han and Lin Zhu when the Indian called it quits. Sania has injured her leg during practice. She is returning to the circuit after a

two-year break. Her right calf strapped heavily, Sania struggled to move freely on the court. It also affected her serve. Kichenok was also struggling

at the net, often missing easy put-away volleys. Serving at 2-4, Sania was broken by the Chinese and they served out the set easily.

G on z a l o Hi g u ai n s e t Ronaldo free down the left and the irrepressible Portuguese fired his shot into the far corner in the 26th minute to claim his 13th goal in the last 10 matches he has played in.

It was also his first-ever Coppa Italia goal, making it the 15th club competition he has scored in during his career out of 17 he has taken part in — the exceptions being England’s Community Shield and the old UEFA Cup. Rodrigo Bentancur exchanged passes with Douglas Costa to score the second in the 38th minute and defender Leonardo Bonucci headed the third from a Costa cross on the stroke of halftime. Roma went out at the same stage last season with a 7-1 loss at Fiorentina and it looked like they might go down by a similar scoreline this time.

M a n c h e s t e r U n i t e d ’s Champions League qualification hopes suffered a blow with a 2-0 upset at home to Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday, as the Old Trafford fans vented their anger at the club’s US owners. Goals from Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez ensured victory for Sean Dyche’s Burnley on a night when United looked

nothing like a ‘big six’ team. United fans chanted protest songs aimed at the Glazer family, who have owned the club since 2005, while their team fell to a second straight loss. After Sunday’s defeat by leaders Liverpool amid criticism of the club for failing to secure any new additions so far in the January transfer window, there is an air of crisis around United.

Brings Tiger Shroff and dad Jackie together for the first time

ctor Jackie Shroff has joined Tiger Shroff in his upcoming film Baaghi 3 and this will be the first time he will be sharing the screen with his son. They will reportedly play father-son in the film directed by Ahmed Khan.A Mumbai Mirror report claimed Jackie began shooting for his portion in Mumbai on January 20. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala told the tabloid, “Everyone has been waiting to see Tiger team up with his Hero, father Jackie since we launched him. There have been plenty of speculations, but no one has been able to bring them together in the last six years as the duo was categorical that they would only share the screen when a film and role merited their presence. Ahmed and I feel the storyline required Jackie to be a part of the film and our visions matched because it’s a pivotal role.” Jackie reportedly has a five-day schedule which ends on Friday. He plays a cop, with Tiger and Riteish Deshmukh as his sons, the daily added. It also quoted a source as saying, “The father-son duo coming together will only add to the expectations from Baaghi 3, but I am confident no one will be disappointed by this double dose of the Shroffs. It will be a strong USP of the film.”

Hugo Weaving on Matrix 4: ‘They’re pushing on ahead without me’

Actor Hugo Weaving was in talks to reprise his role as Agent Smith in the upcoming fourth instalment in Matrix franchise but things didn’t materialise after director Lana Wachowski decided to go ahead with the film without him.

Jennifer Aniston reacts to Brad Pitt crying while watching her acceptance speech: ‘No!’ Former couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s brief, on camera meeting at the Screen Actors Guild awards made headlines on Monday, with fans projecting their fantasies about the actors rekindling their romance, years after splitting up. Aniston was later told that Pitt made it a point to watch her acceptance speech, and was seen tearing up.

Shraddha Kapoor answers if she is marrying Rohan Shrestha:

Did Brad Pitt take a dig at Angelina Jolie in SAG awards acceptance speech? Watch Jennifer Aniston’s reaction

‘It’s only buzz’

he grapevine has been abuzz with rumours of a romance brewing between Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor and celebrity photographer Rohan Shrestha. Speculation is rife that things are getting serious and that the rumoured couple is planning to get married in the near future. However, in an interview with The Times Of India, Shraddha set the record straight and said that she is too busy with her professional commitments to even think about marriage. She laughed, “Right now, I don’t have the time to think about anything apart from the movies that I am doing. And like you said, it’s only ‘buzz’.” Last year, Shraddha’s father Shakti Kapoor told SpotboyE that the rumours of her wedding were “bulls**t”. He said, “There is no truth to it. Shraddha has no plans of marrying anyone for coming 4-5 years. She has too much on her plate at the moment and is totally focussed on her upcoming projects. Her calendar is chock-a-block for the next 2 years. All this is crap.”

Brad Pitt won the SAG award for best supporting actor and in his acceptance speech made a joke about playing a character ‘who doesn’t get along with his wife’. Pitt said sarcastically while accepting the award, for his performance in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, “Let’s be honest. It was a difficult part, a guy who takes his shirt off, gets high and doesn’t get on with his wife. It was a big stretch, big.” Pitt’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, was caught on camera reacting to the speech, clapping along with the rest of the A-listers at the event. “Wow, is it me or Did Brad Pitt just threw Angelina Jolie under the bus for him not getting along with her and blaming her for his unfortunate relationships?” one person asked on Twitter. Several others shared GIFs in reaction to Pitt’s speech.

Indian wins Dubai raffle after buying tickets for 10 yrs

uccess requires persistence, but sometimes it also needs a little patience. That’s a lesson Sreejith from India knows all too well. The storekeeper from humble beginnings came forward to claim an Infiniti QX50 as well as a Dh200,000 cash prize in the Infiniti Mega Raffle, part of the 25th edition of Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF). Sreejith has been buying raffle tickets every year diligently for the last 10 years and his patience has finally paid off. The moment he realised his

decade-long wait for a win had finally come to an end, he was amazed. Commenting on his stroke of luck, Sreejith said, “I couldn’t believe my ears. I have diligently purchased a raffle ticket every year for the last 10 years, with the hopes to strike lucky one day. This win means so much to me and I now believe that dreams can come true. I have two boys and a third on the way and this money will ensure that my kids have a bright future ahead of them.” The Infiniti Mega Raffle offers DSF visitors the opportunity to drive away in an Infiniti QX50 car and Dh200,000 in cash every single day of the festival. Taking part is easy. Those interested have to simply buy a raffle ticket for Dh200 for the chance to win the daily prize. In addition, one lucky DSF shopper will go home with a grand prize of Dh1 million in cash at the end of DSF.

University of California, Santa Cruz, was among the 300 signatories opposing the recent attack on the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, the implementation of CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Speaking to to Indica news, Arondekar said the CAA and the JNU attack were “clearly connected”, and the escalation of unhitched violence against students at the varsity “makes it even more pressing for us to link the two events together, which they obviously were”. The professor added that the situation at JNU carries great weight for her precisely because of the threat it poses to the future of public education in South Asia, and in the world at large. WASHINGTON: The AAPI Victory Fund has recently announced its formal endorsement of Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden for the November presidential election in the US, as he is hugely popular with the IndianAmerican community, it was reported. Launched in 2015, the AAPI Victory Fund aims to mobilise IndianAmericans and other Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to participate in the electoral process. Indian-American Shekar Narasimhan, co-founder of the AAPI Victory Fund, told the India-West newspaper that the organisation had met several of the party candidates in the crowded race. “We asked the community what their priorities were and determined the top two concerns were having a candidate who can beat (President Donald) Trump and one who would listen to our community,” Narasimhan said.

Indian to be prosecuted here for murder in UAE

New Delhi : In a first, an Indian national will be prosecuted here by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for killing a man in Abu Dhabi in 2008. The initiative is being taken considering the request of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities in view of the extradition treaty between both the countries. In this regard, the CBI on Wednesday registered an FIR, under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, against accused Inderjeet Singh, who has already been sentenced to death by an Abu Dhabi trial court in 2009 in “absentia”. The UAE court had also imposed a fine of 200 dirhams (approx Rs 3,900 now) “blood money” on Singh. Singh had killed Rama Lengaw Natesan, another Indian, on August 28, 2008. He had to repay the victim a sum of 300 dirhams. According to a communication by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to the UAE authorities in May 2016, Singh has already been arrested here by the police.

Scientists develop laser diode to emit deep UV light

Washington D.C. [USA], Jan 19 (ANI): Laser diodes that emit shortwavelength ultraviolet light, which is called UV-C, could be used for disinfection in healthcare, for treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, and for analysing gases and DNA. In recent research, scientists have succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deepultraviolet light. The deep-ultraviolet laser diode overcomes several issues encountered by scientists in their work towards the development of these semiconducting devices. The study was published in the journal Applied Physics Express.

The team include researchers from King’s College London and the study was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Despite the prevalence of depression, little has been done to identify the causes, symptoms, solutions for the condition while predictive tools have already been developed for psychosis and many physical health conditions Family history and subthreshold symptoms which do not reach the criteria for depression are the two current methods for accessing the risk of depression. For the study, researchers used data from over 2,000 Brazilian adolescents. With the help of this data, the team developed a tool that can help identify which young people will go on to experience a major depressive disorder when they reach 18 years. Not just identifying the tool, the study also evaluated the performance of the tool in samples of adolescents from New Zealand and the UK.

Washington D.C. [USA], Jan 16 (ANI): Beards are all the craze among men these days, but according to a new study, their thick and luscious facial hair can sometimes work against them. According to CNN Health, women who are highly repulsed by lice, ticks, and fleas tend to find bearded men less attractive. The aversion stems from the level of the unconscious mind, as the inner animal instincts of a woman caution her against coming into contact with hairy folks who might be infested with all sorts of creepy crawlies.

Masaba Gupta latest anti-plastic collection is both dress At a time when global fashion houses and designers like Stella McCartney are promoting sustainable fashion, Indian designer Masaba Gupta also decided to play her part by launching an anti-plastic clothing line called ‘I Will Wear Out Plastic’. The endeavour, aimed at eliminating the adoption of single-use plastic, is supported by United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as the designer announced on Instagram. “I am sure all of us know what the state of the environment is today. I am sure that all of us are trying to do our little bit for the future generations to come. This is House of Masaba’s way of

giving back to the environment,” Masaba said in a video she posted on the social media platform. In another social media post, she pointed out how her latest collection is “more than just a collaboration” and is “a war cry”, adding that the initiative was firstof-its-kind by an Indian designer. Each outfit in this clothing line comes with a detachable cloth bag that is designed as part of the dress. So you can simply pull out the cloth bag whenever you need it. Masaba also gave us glimpses of the dresses — from The Giraffe Pop Wrap dress to The Temple Swan Hi-Low Dress.

The former VJ and actor recently posted yet another video on Instagram of her doing Pilates at celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala’s training centre. Not laughing enough Laughter is the best medicine, remember? Yes, life can test you at times, but it is important to find humour in everyday situations. Self-diagnosing on internet There is a sea of information out there and you are floating in it. But, it does not mean you have to turn towards the internet for everything. For instance, do not let your internet guide your decisions when it comes to health. Not getting your eyes checked When it comes to your eyes, you must get a check-up done annually. Only a trained expert, or an ophthalmologist will be able to spot early signs of potential eye problems. By skipping these exams, you may be putting your eye health at risk.

Staying glued to the desk If you have a desk job, you must make conscious efforts to get up and move around a bit. Science says that people who work desk jobs have bigger waists, and are more susceptible to heart diseases, as opposed to those who have more active jobs. Checking your phone before bed Well, this cannot be reiterated enough. Being on your phone just before bedtime can disturb the natural circadian rhythm of the body. This, in turn, can spoil the quality of sleep and lead to insomnia. Science says that with time, serious illnesses like diabetes and cancer, and diseases of the heart can take over your life.

Candlelight Vigil and Proclamation of Kashmiri Pandit Exodus Recognition Day BY A STAFF WRITER HOUSTON, TX) - Close to 250 people gathered this evening at the steps of City Hall in Sugar Land, TX to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Kashmiri Hindu Pandit community’s exodus from their homeland in Kashmir, India. This tragic event was recognized by a candlelight vigil jointly organized by the Hindu American Foundation, Indo-American Kashmir Forum, and the Hindus of Greater Houston, as part of a series of vigils done around the U.S. to mark the infamous day. Also joining were Congressman Pete Olson (R-TX) and Fort Bend County Judge K.P. George (D), who heard from members of the Kashmiri Pandit community tell the stories of what happened on January 19th in 1990. After the program started with a prayer, emcee Dr. Neel Bhan, a second generation Kashmiri Pandit, introduced Suraj Pandit, a third generation Kashmiri Pandit and local high school junior, who told the assembled crowd the history of what happened to the Kashmiri Pandit community. Suraj stated that on January 19, 1990, “terrorist-driven violence, rape, torture, and murder led to the forced exodus of my relatives and 350,000 other Hindu Pandits from our homeland in our former ‘Paradise on Earth’.” The next two speakers, Anjali Raina and Sunita Ticku, lived through the events of that fateful day, and told their stories. Anjali bravely recounted “the tortuous death of my father at the hands of terrorists” and the severe effect his passing had on her family. Sunita Ticku told the story of how terrorists barged into her family’s house, looking for her father, a government official, and ended up “shooting everybody they could find in the house.” Her grandmother survived that assault after being shot three times in the abdomen - Sunita and her siblings survived only because they had been sent away earlier in response to constant threats by terrorists inciting the “infidels” to “convert, die, or flee”.

GSSC Enjoyed Annual Kite Flying Festival

BY A STAFF WRITER ANAHEIM, CA — The Gujarati Society of Southern California held its annual kite flying festival at the Twila Reid Park. Perhaps the only ‘Uttarayan’ event in Southern California, which drew a crowd of over 800 people, both young and old. Soon the skies over the city were filled with over 300 pairs of “patang” and “firki” (kites and string) that had been especially imported from India. With blaring music and people getting passionate about kite flying, the event lasted all afternoon. For many, it was their first “Uttarayan” event and for others it brought home memories of celebrating the festival in India. Regardless, all had one thing in common: it was a fun way to spend time with the Indian American community members edged with a bit of a competitive streak while yelling “kaipo che!” when they successfully cut away another flying kite. The traditional Gujarati festival also had sumptuous food brought in by all and on a beautiful sunny winter day, people picnicked in the park catching up with old friends and making new ones. The youth chapter of GSSC, the non-profit organization, which seeks to connect Gujaratis in Southern California, organized the event.

Congressman Olson then came up to speak. He gave an impassioned speech about the Kashmiri Pandits and the horrors that happened to them, and validated the government of India’s revocation of the oppressive Article 370. He noted that the “amount of people that fled their homes due to radical terrorists was equal to three Sugar Land, Texases.” Olson concluded by saying that the community should “never stop fighting” to go back home. County Judge K.P. George recounted how he heard of the events of January 1990 as an American of Indian descent. He himself had not realized the depths of what had happened, and said he was grateful for this vigil to be organized, so that he and others could learn what had happened. He also presented a proclamation recognizing January 19th, 2020 as “Kashmiri Pandit Exodus Recognition Day” in Fort Bend County. After the speeches, the assembled crowd held their candles up high in the air as they heard a traditional Kashmiri bhajan (devotional song). Neel thanked

all in attendance for coming and said “it means the world for the community to be recognized after so many years of struggle and invalidation.” He concluded by thanking the Houston community and asking everyone to support the Kashmir Pandit community in their struggle to keep their identity alive and “garner a presence back in the Valley of our homeland.” Rishi Bhutada, HAF Houston Chapter coordinator, said, “I was proud to see so many people come out on a cold Houston evening to participate in the vigil and hear these first-person stories of suffering. We will continue with our advocacy, because this is history that must not be ignored by the world at large.” Rahul Pandit, past president of IndoAmerican Kashmir Forum, said, ““We truly appreciate the support from the large group of attendees and elected officials in recognizing this day and somber anniversary of our community’s exile from our homeland. We feel the world is finally listening to our story.

BY A STAFF WRITER NEW YORK , NY – A 21-year-old man was arrested Jan. 10 on charges of murder and sexual abuse for allegedly attacking a 92-yearold woman as she walked near her home in Queens. Authorities say Reeaz Khan, of Queens, assaulted the victim, Maria Fuertes, in the early morning hours of Jan. 6. Surveillance footage shows Khan following the victim and knocking her to the ground near parked cars, District Attorney Melinda Katz said. The video shows Khan sexually assaulting Fuertes and then running from the scene, Katz said. After a passerby called 911, Fuertes was taken to a hospital, where she died of her injuries. “The victim was found with her clothes pulled above her waist and near death,” Katz said in a statement. “The defendant has been apprehended and now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life locked behind bars.’” It wasn’t clear whether Khan had an attorney who could speak for him. Khan is reportedly a Guyanese national of Indian descent.

BY A STAFF WRITER ENCINO, CA — An Encino doctor, Kain Kumar, who has lost his medical license for defrauding Medicare and illegally prescribing opioid drugs, on Jan. 6 was also handed a two-year prison sentence by U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez of the Central District of California. A statement from the Department of Justice said Kumar, 56, has also been ordered to pay more than $1 million: $509,365 in restitution, $494,900 in asset forfeiture, and $72,000 in fines. The Indian American physician had pled guilty in April 2019. He practiced internal medicine, maintained medical offices in Palmdale, Rosamond, and Ridgecrest, and surrendered his medical license last year. From February 2011 until May 2016,

Kumar admitted to defrauding Medicare by prescribing unnecessary home health services in exchange for the payment of illegal kickbacks to him from a La Vernebased home health agency called Star Home Health Resources. He caused false claims for reimbursement to be submitted to Medicare for beneficiaries that he did not personally examine or for patients he only briefly examined, said the DOJ statement. Kumar also prescribed drugs that were not medically necessary and which were paid for by the Medicare Part D program. His fraudulent activities had Medicare pay $4,398,599 to Star. Kumar is the fifth and final defendant sentenced in this case. Elaine C. Lat, 50, of Fontana, was Star’s chief operating officer and the case’s lead defendant.

BY A STAFF WRITER TEMESCAL VALLEY, CA- Indian American man has been arrested, accused of intentionally ramming a Toyota Prius in Temescal Valley, sending the car crashing into a tree and killing three 16-yearold boys inside. Anurag Chandra Drake Ruiz, Daniel Hawkins and Jacob Ivascu were travelling inside the car when it was rammed into a tree in Temescal Valley, California on Sunday night. Ivascu died at the scene, while Ruiz and Hawkins died at Inland Valley Medical Center shortly after arriving. Three other young occupants of the Prius were injured but survived the crash. Ruiz’s mother said she believes the boys’ attempt to pull a “ding-dong-dash” prank, ringing a doorbell and quickly driving away, sparked the fatal incident. She said the teens were on their way to a sleepover to celebrate Ivascu’s birthday when they tried to prank their friend - but 42-year-old Anurag Chandra answered the door, got into his car and chased the teens. “The boys were playing ding-dong-ditch at a house they thought was... somebody their age, but it turned out to be that angry man,’‘ Debbie Ruiz said.
