PM Modi launches UMANG app: To offer 150-plus government services and more

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a new mobile app - UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) which will allow citizens to access government services on a single platform.

The services live on the app include Aadhaar, DigiLocker, Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) among others.

The UMANG app is expected to provide access to over 1,200 services of various government organisations in states and at the Centre as well as utility payments.

Using the app, citizens will be able to access Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) services, apply for a new permanent account number (PAN), and those looking for jobs can register themselves under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana.

The app is available on Android, iOS and Windows phones.

The PM also inaugurated the Global Conference on Cyber Space on Thursday where he made a strong pitch for information sharing and coordination among nations to prevent cyber space becoming a playground of terrorism. "Surely, we can walk the fine balance between privacy and openness on the one hand and national security on the other. The differences between global and open systems, and nation-specific legal requirements can be overcome," he explained.

He said the quest for an open and accessible Internet often leads to vulnerabilities like cyber attacks, and a major focus area should be training of well-equipped professionals to counter cyber threats.

Stories of hacking and defacement of websites are the tip of an iceberg. They suggest that cyber attacks are a significant threat, especially in the democratic world. We need to ensure that vulnerable sections of our society do not fall prey to the evil designs of cyber criminals, he said.

Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli will going to wedding in December?

If rumours are anything to go by, cricket superstar Virat Kohli is all set to walk down the aisle with Bollywood diva and his long-time girlfriend Anushka Sharma in December this year. And what's more? Reports suggest that the couple plans to have a high profile destination wedding, with their close friends and relatives attending the ceremony.

While rumour mills are abuzz about the forthcoming dreamy wedding, it might be a while before the duo exchange their wedding vows.
Bombay Times contacted Virat's manager Bunty Sajdeh, who stated, "I don't know where this news is coming from." On the other hand, Anushka's spokesperson said, "There is no truth to this."
Well, if and when the couple ties the knot, wouldn't it be a dream come true for all "Virushka" fans?
In the long list of celebrities who have not come out in the open about their relationship status are Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and actress-producer Anushka Sharma. The two may have never publicly labeled their friendship, but they often leave their fans swooning with their rare joint public appearances and some PDA on social media.

Recently, Virat was all praise for his ‘lady’, while on a chat show. He even went to the extent of calling Anushka his 'lady luck'. The cricketer, in a candid answer, said that “he had no brains before” and ever since “the lady” has come into his life, she's taught him a lot of things. He added that he’s learnt a lot, and become more sensible in the last 4 years all because of her. She's taught him how to be more patient and taught him how to utilise the position he is in to the fullest, he said further.

Virat also reiterated that Anushka has stood rock solid with him over the years, even when he was going through a rough patch in his career. He went on to recall that during a tour of England in 2014, Anushka was there in his life, she understood what he was going through so she kept him motivated. Her support helped him push through and she was a constant in that time. The cricketer also spoke about those who said: “this is what happens when you allow girlfriends on the tour.” He said that he felt, "if you don't think this is right then no one can be in a relationship". Virat also revealed that it was Zaheer Khan who advised him against hiding his relationship with Anushka.

Gujarat 5th state to ban Padmavati including Rajasthan Madhya Pradesh UP and Punjab.

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat's BJP government on Wednesday banned the release of Deepika Padukone starrer 'Padmavati' with chief minister Vijay Rupani citing law and order issue as the reason behind banning of the film in the poll-bound state. The movie is already banned in a few other states, including Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

Gujarat is the fifth state to ban the movie following Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, UP and Punjab.

"I have received representation from Rajputs and many other groups. In Gujarat, people in general feel that the film has objectionable content which can hurt people's sentiments as well as create law and order problems," Rupani said.

The CM said the film is being banned to avoid law and order problems as Gujarat is going to polls in just over two weeks.

"On the basis of the state home department's advice, we have decided not to allow the screening of the film in Gujarat till the producers remove the objectionable part of the movie," Rupani said.
 

Congress also supports ban on movie

This ban on exhibition of the film shall come into effect from November 22, 2017. No cinema owners or distributors shall exhibit the said movie in any cinemas or multiplexes or video-cinema or touring cinema, etc within the jurisdiction of Gujarat," said the notification issued by the state I&B department on Wednesday.

A few days back, Gujarat BJP had written to the Election Commission to ban the film in the state during the election period.

Congress supported the ban with its spokes person Shaktisinh Gohil saying the party will not tolerate any distortion of Rajput history or attempts to hurt the emotions of the community. "We will not allow the release of 'Padmavati' in Gujarat at any cost," Gohil said.

The erstwhile royals of Gujarat also supported the ban. Princess of erstwhile Rajkot royalty Kadambari Devi said, 'Padmavati' had sacrificed her life to save her self-respect. The film is playing with the feelings of Rajputs. The film should not be allowed (for release) unless necessary cuts are made."

Manubhai Patel, president, Multiplex Owners Association - Gujarat, said the ban was expected considering aggressive protests against the movie. "We were anyway anticipating trouble if the movie was released."

Padmavati LIVE updates: Karni Sena threatens Deepika; Sanjay Leela Bhansali writes to CBFC

Padmavati chronicles the life and times of the 13th century Rajput queen Padmavati who chose self-immolation over being under the captivity of the foreign invader Alauddin Khilji. It stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh.

The films is co-produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali Productions. It is slated to release on 1 December.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali writes to CBFC

As per TV reports, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asking the body to expedite the process and hold a pre-screening show at the earliest to clear the air regarding allegations of fact distortion in his upcoming period drama Padmav

As per reports by News 18, Maharashtra goverment is backing the release of Padmavati
​

Full security to theatres showing Padmavati in Maharastra, says State Home Minister Ranjit Patil.
Padmavati has been facing a lot of trouble since early this year. Bhansali was assaulted by activists of a Rajput community group, Karni Sena, while shooting in Jaipur and Kolhapur. And now, ever since the trailer and a few songs have released, the outrage against the film has been non-stop.
The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Wednesday called for a nationwide bandh on 1  December against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Padmavati, which finds itself mired in a controversy.
The founder of the organisation Lokendra Singh Kalvi said that not only the Rajput community or Hindu organisations but even Muslim leaders had come out against the film, against which there was resentment across the country.

He demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervene in the issue saying that the central government had the powers, as per the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, to stop the release of a film for three months.
"We are calling for a country-wide bandh on 1 December if the film is released. We have the support of all castes and communities. We will hold public meetings and rallies in Gurgaon, Patna, and Bhopal before that," Kalvi told reporters.That provision should be invoked in case of Padmavati which is slated to be released on 1 December, he said.
Kalvi said that the statement by actress Deepika Padukone, who plays the legendary queen in the movie, that nothing can stop the release of the film was "provocative".
No effort to tarnish the image of "Rani Padmavati" will be tolerated, he said.
Padmavati stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh. It is co-produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali Productions. It is slated to release on 1 December.
