Be ready for driving tests if licence not renewed on time

Chennai:27.09.2019

Driving licence holders should apply for renewal one year before or after the expiry of the licence, failing which they should undergo driving tests again. Earlier, they were allowed to renew five years after its expiry.

The change, proposed under the new Motor Vehicle Act (MVA), will be implemented in all Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in Tamil Nadu soon and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) is working on it now, said a senior official of the state transport department. NIC, functioning from New Delhi under the Union information technology ministry, handles the VAHAN portal for vehicle registration and driving licence-related services. Every month, more than 80,000 people in the state visit RTOs to renew driving licences.

Under the old rules, applications can be made 60 days before the expiry of the licence by paying ₹100. Even if a person missed this, renewal applications were accepted for five years from the date of expiry with a fine of ₹50 a year. Though driving without licence attracts a fine of ₹500 or three months imprisonment, the rule was not enforced strictly in the state. Section 15  (1), 15(3) and 15(4) of the MV Act has now been amended. Accordingly, driving licence holders get only one year from the date of expiry, failing which they should take up fresh driving tests at 8-shaped and H-shaped tracks.

The change has come into effect at some RTOs, including those in and around Vellore.

While the state government is still discussing about implementing fines for traffic offences proposed under the new MVA, this amendment is applicable to licence holders across the country, the official added.

‘Weight loss’ twist to MBBS scam

Parents Of 2 Med Students Say Their Kids Leaner Now

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Chennai:27.09.2019

The two first-year medical students from Coimbatore-based PSG Medical College, whose MBBS admit cards did not match their NEET scorecards, met officials at the directorate of medical education seeking ‘no objection certificates’ so they can rejoin college on Friday. Their parents, who accompanied them, said they had submitted old photographs for NEET and their children have lost weight making them look different now. They said they were willing to take part in any investigation to prove there was no impersonation.

On Thursday, PSG dean Dr S Ramalingam told the media that the college had stumbled upon two more cases of suspected impersonation. The photographs of two students — a male and a female — appeared to be different in the NEET scorecard issued by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the medical admission (admit) card issued by the DME’s selection committee. The management sent a letter to the directorate of medical education and asked the students to get a noobjection certificate from the selection committee to attend classes further. One of the parents said they had submitted an old photograph while applying for the NEET examination. “There has been significant weight loss in the past few months. We can assure you there is no case of impersonation,” said a parent. The parents had told the directorate that they were willing to subject themselves to any test.

Director of Medical Education Dr R Narayanababu and selection committee secretary G Selvaraju could not be reached. Senior officials at the directorate who saw the photographs brought by the parents of the students said ‘it did not seem like impersonation’, but that they will not able to declare them fit to join class without police confirmation. No police complaint was lodged and the officials did not compare fingerprints of the students with that of imprints in NEET attendance sheets. The NTA obtains finger impressions of candidates at the examination hall. However, officials in the DME said they were not aware.

Health minister C Vijaya Baskar said the health department was investigating the case. “We are looking into the complaints. We have requested the Centre to introduce bio-metrics in the NEET exam. We will also be doing it during the counselling process next year,” he said.

Self-financing medical colleges urged the government to compare fingerprints instead of using crude verification processes such as photos.

“We are no experts. It is difficult for us to match some five- or six-year-old photographs with their present face. Children grow fast and their faces change. It would have been simple had the state called for fingerprints as soon as they found a case of impersonation. Health department officials aren’t even aware NTA has finger imprints,” said a senior professor of anatomy at a government medical college.

Chances of new int’l flights remote at city airport

Chennai:27.09.2019

The possibility of new flights to international destinations from Chennai airport seems remote as many airlines did not show much interest at World Routes 2019 organized by Airports Council International in Adelaide, Australia.

Airports Authority of India (AAI), which operates around 125 airports, including 11 international airports, held several meetings at the annual meeting of airlines, airports and aviation executives.

However, except Heathrow airport, which showed interest in boosting the number of flights between London and Chennai, no other major airline or airport showed interest.

Foreign airlines — Batik Air, Cathay Pacific, Bangkok Airlines, Shenzhen airlines, Sydney airport, Capital airlines, Oman Air — held discussions with AAI to start flights to major airports in the country. But the focus was on flights to Kolkata and Guwahati rather than Chennai.

Chennai had a direct flight to Australia several years ago. Thai Airways and Thai AirAsia are two foreign airlines that fly on the Chennai-Bangkok route that has a good demand for seats.

Yet, Bangkok Airlines preferred to fly to Jaipur, Pune, Port Blair, Bhubaneswar, Kolkata and Guwahati. All Nippon is the only foreign airline that started a service from Chennai in the last few years.

Sources said Chennai airport is struggling due to lack of capacity on the airside where planes are parked for boarding.

“Foreign airlines are particular about turnaround time. Their flights are scheduled to depart an hour after landing.

For this, passengers must disembark, baggage needs to be unloaded and the aircraft readied in less than an hour. This often gets delayed at night as there are too many flight movements,” said an airline official.

Airport director S Sree Kumar said new routes were decided based on potential for airlines and also based on discounts offered by airports. “We have a common policy for all AAI airports. So we cannot market a single airport.

Airports are marketed based on their strengths such as apron and terminal capacity. Now, we are not in a position to offer peak hour slots for new flights in Chennai.

The decision of an airline to select an airport will also depend on potential of the route to draw passengers.” He also said, “IndiGo would start more flights by March. AirAsia will also add flights and we can accomodate new flights during non-peak hours.”

M Venkatesh*, a 30-year-old commerce graduate, appeared for an interview for the post of a sanitation worker at the Tamil Nadu assembly secretariat. Last year, the assembly secretariat received more than 5,000 applications, of which, 600 were rejected, many of the applicants were found to be overqualified. These graduates, who have been called for an interview, are keen on getting a government job. But, there are only 15 vacancies.

A deputy secretary of the assembly secretariat is conducting the interviews as the speaker, P Dhanapal, and his secretary K Srinivasan are away in Uganda for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference. Each interview is five minutes long.

“In the past three years, I have worked with three private companies. I was asked to leave after a few months or a year. There was no sense permanence,” said Venkatesh. He added, “This housekeeping job is with the government, it will be permanent. I will get ₹15,000 per month whereas in the private company, my salary used to be less than ₹10,000.”

Soon after his interview, he was seen entering the AIADMK MLAs’ room where he met a party leader. A source said a few of them come with letters from the ruling party MLAs and produce it during the interview.

CVijaya*, a homemaker from Villivakkam, has a family of four. “I completed SSLC. My husband’s earnings are not enough to make ends meet. We need money to educate our two children,” she said. Her entire family had accompanied her for the interview. While Vijaya was seen having a tense conversation with her husband, their children played around unaware of their parents financial worries.

K Fathima*of Dindigul district said, “I need the housekeeping job desperately. I am from a village in the southern district, but I am ready to move to the city for the government job. I am sure I will get my salary on time.”

The applicants are from SC, MBC and BC communities, mostly from rural and semi-urban areas, while some are from Chennai city. “We check the applicants’ marksheet and other papers. The process will go on for a month or more. After that a decision to fill the vacancies will be taken,” said an official.

Neet scam: Medico paid ₹20L for service of Mumbai imposter

Chennai:27.09.2019

Investigation into the NEET impersonation case at the Theni medical college is set to shift to Mumbai as the arrested father-son duo have told the police that they paid ₹20 lakh to an agent to get another teenager to write the test for Udit Surya. Udit and his father, Dr K S Venkatesh, were picked up from a Tirupati hotel on Wednesday and sent in judicial remand on Thursday.

The CB-CID police would now focus on tracing the impersonator and an agent based in Mumbai. Police sources said Venkatesh had revealed some details of how he went about hiring another youngster to write the NEET for his son. If needed, the CB-CID police planned to take Venkatesh to Mumbai to help nab the agent and the impersonator.

A CB-CID officer said, “We will circulate the photograph of the suspect who appeared for the exam for Udit Surya through all media in Mumbai to collect details of him too.”

Speaking on condition of anonymity a few doctors who knew Venkatesh said some NEET coaching centres based in Chennai had told him Udit Surya hadn’t done well in the mock tests they conducted and told him how to hire an impersonator. The police nabbed Udit Surya and his parents from a hotel in Tirupati on Wednesday and took them to Theni. After questioning them for hours, the police arrested the student and his father while letting his mother, Kayal Vizhi, go free.

The CB-CID said Udit Surya and his father admitted to having engaged an impersonator to write the NEET examination. Their statements were recorded and videographed for future reference. The CB-CID questioned Udit Surya and his father to know more about the impersonator.

Father, son didn’t give proper reply

However, the duo didn’t give any proper reply. The father and son were remanded in judicial custody after being produced before a magistrate court. Udit Surya, a firstyear medical student at Government Theni Medical College, has been booked for impersonation in NEET, which is the sole exam for medical admission. The photos of the student on the college application and the NEET 2019 scorecard did not match, triggering an alert.
