WILFUL DEFAULTERS TAKING BANKS FOR A RIDE KOTHARIS LATEST ADDITION.

Likhte, Likhte “Hate” Ho Jaye

The King of Good Times Vijay Mallya is now facing bad times. The diamond Mughal Nirav Modi has been stigmatised as Jewel Thief. Fall, what a great fall Lalit Modi had?

Here, one more name has just been added: Vikram Kothari of Rotomac Pens. Flamboyant Vikram and his son Rahul, already arrested, owes over Rs. 3,695 crore to Allahabad Bank, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Bank of Maharashtra, Indian Overseas Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Union Bank of India.

Interestingly, while pushing the pens, the pen-pushers now are saying Likhte, Likhte “Hate” Ho Jaye unlike what ravishing Ravina (Tandon) said while endorsing Rotomac Pens in 1990s Likhte, Likhte Love Ho Jaye…

wThe love for writing “Hatewords” emanates out of the fact that the business houses in India caused a whooping Rs. 1.1 lakh crore bad loans or non performing assets to the banking sector between 2013-17 fiscal years. Kotharis were declared wilful defaulters in February, 2017. The business baron contested it in the Allahabad High Court and won. But Kotharis did not pay back the dues to the banks.

RECALLING - THE MAN OF GREAT VIRTUES P.A.SANGMA

As September approaches there begins a change in Delhi, morning becomes cooler, midday sun a bit friendly, humidity too pretends to be packing off and a sense of an all-pervasive thermal comfortability becomes visible outdoors. I still remember P A Sangma was born on 1st September 1947and the remembrance takes me to look back and a montages of memories come crowding in: some events are still clear while some got blurred, perhaps the inner flash is partly diffused.

Role Of Traditional Heads In: Containing The Outbreak Of Covid-19

Meghalaya has the lowest number of Covid-19 positive cases among the other states in India with 59 cases. The government took a wise decision at every crucial moment and handled the situation very well. Even before the countrywide lockdown, the state government got the message across and the result was that the people got used to lockdown conditions well in advance. The success in controlling the outbreak of COVID-19 in Meghalaya is a collective effort from the Government initiatives along with public support. The state recorded its first positive case for COVID-19 on 13 April 2020 after a senior doctor from Bethany Hospital was tested positive. In the aftermath, the state Government has taken an initial step by sealing off all borders including inter-state, inter-district and international border.
