October 01, 2025

Kerala government faced a major administrative setback on Tuesday as the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) directed it to issue a mandatory Vigilance Clearance Certificate to senior IPS officer Yogesh Gupta within five working days, ending months of delay that stalled his career prospects.

The directive follows repeated reminders from the Union Home Ministry, which requires the clearance for considering officers for deputation to top national agencies. Despite 13 applications from Gupta and four separate CAT directives, the state government had failed to act, instead moving him across various posts.

Taking note of the inordinate delay, the tribunal directed the Chief Secretary to submit the Vigilance status report to the Union Ministry within five days.

Bessie Badilla advocates for indigenous fashion

A top Filipina model for nearly five decades whose first visit to the UAE was in 1981 for the “Aureo Alonzo Fiesta Filipina World Tour Group” in Dubai, and who cat-walked for Michael Cinco at the “Dubai Fashion Week 2023,” has said that fashion from her home country has been at par with the world’s best. Bessie Badilla, whose accidental entry into the glitterati of haute couture happened, when Manila hosted the 1976 “International Monetary Fund-World Bank Annual Meeting” at the then newly-opened Philippine International Convention Centre, also said that the intensifying interest-cum-awareness of even the Filipino youth concerning their indigenous fibres and artisanship would strongly impact on the so-called colonial mentality which historians from decades back had imaginatively labelled as “300 years inside the convent (Spain) and 48 years in Hollywood (USA).
