[ad_1] Salman Khan reportedly received another threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which demanded that the Bollywood actor should either visit a temple and apologise for allegedly killing a black buck or pay ₹5 crore. The Mumbai Police Traffic Control unit received a message on Monday from an individual claiming to be gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s brother, threatening that Salman Khan would be killed if he failed to comply with certain demands. “If Salman Khan wants to stay alive, he should go to our (Bishnoi community) temple and apologise or pay ₹5 crore. If he does not do so, we will kill him; our gang is still active,” the message said. The Police are probing the origin of the threat message and have beefed up security measures for Salman Khan, sources said, adding police are also checking if the message is linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, who is in jail on various charges, including attempted murder and extortion. “In the case of a threat to Actor Salman Khan, the process of registering the case is underway at Worli Police Station. The number from which the message came is being traced,” news agency ANI quoted the Mumbai Police as saying. Past death threats received by Salman Khan Last month, the Bollywood superstar received a death threat along with demand to pay up ₹2 crore, prompting police to launch a probe and arrest a resident of Mumbai’s Bandra on October 30. The Mumbai Traffic Police October 29 received an anonymous message wherein the sender threatened to kill the 58-year-old actor if he did not pay up ₹2 crore. The Worli police registered a case against the unidentified person and launched an investigation. The next day, the police arrested a man, identified as Azam Mohammed Mustafa, a resident of Bandra (East), for allegedly issuing the latest death threat to Salman Khan and demanding ₹2 crore from him. Salman Khan resides at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra (West), a posh locality of Mumbai, where two motorbike-borne assailants had opened fire in April. Last month, the Mumbai traffic police’s WhatsApp helpline desk had received a threat message demanding ₹5 crore from the actor. The police had then arrested a man from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand in connection with the threat message. In another case last month, the Mumbai Police arrested a man from Noida in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly issuing a death threat to Salman Khan and NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique, whose father Baba Siddique, was shot dead by three gunmen on October 12 in Bandra (East). Notably, Salman Khan had earlier received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Suspected members of the dreaded gang had opened fire outside the actor’s Bandra home in April this year. A few months back, the Navi Mumbai police uncovered a plot by the Bishnoi gang to kill Salman Khan after which his security was stepped up. [ad_2] Source link

1. Pakistan opensfifth nuclear power plant

Pakistan received a major boost as a China-backed 340 MW nuclear power plant in its Punjab province was inaugurated.

The fifth nuclear plant C-4 plant is located at Chashma in Mianwali district of the Punjab province.

9. International Literacy Day 2017

Today, on the occasion o the 51st International Literacy Day, the Government of India would felicitate dignitaries and confer to them the Saakshar Bharat Awards.. 

The Saakshar Bharat Awards are given to the best performing states, districts, gram panchayats and NGOs at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.

The theme for this year’s International Literacy Day is ‘Literacy in Digital World’.

Increase in India’s literacy rate

As per an NDTV report, India has reasons to rejoice as the literacy rate in India increased to 69.3 per cent in 2011 per educational statistics for 2015-16.

In comparison to 2001, when the literacy rate was 61.0 per cent, the improvement is decent.

A dramatic improvement is seen in the literacy rate of female population which improved from 47.8 per cent in 2001 to 59.3 per cent in 2011.

Among males, the literacy rate has improved from 73.4 per cent in 2001 to 78.8 per cent in 2011.

Female illiteracy 

The UNESCO reports on literacy around the world states that young women still contribute the largest ratio of illiterate youth around the world with almost 59 per cent of illiterate youth being women.

With the gross enrolment ratio (GER) of girls almost equalling that of boys in secondary and senior secondary level of school, India certainly has improved the literacy rate for young women.

But there still is a requirement of enhancing India’s enrolment in higher education where there is a significant gap.

10. AP signs MoU for Hyperloop;

The Andhra Pradesh government joined hands with a US-based company to introduce the futuristic “Hyperloop” transportation system in the state capital region, Amrawati.
