The State Bank of India, Hyderabad Circle (Telangana State) employees have contributed ₹33,78,200 for the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund, Telangana.
Chief General Manager Amit Jhingran handed over a cheque for the amount to Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, who is the Chairperson of Armed Forces Flag Day Fund.
The Governor said the contribution was for a noble cause and the gesture would inspire other organisations and citizens to emulate. She also acknowledged the contribution of SBI in support of welfare of war veterans, ex-servicemen, war widows and their dependents.
SBI offers a host of schemes for serving Defence personnel and looked forward to contributing to various schemes for rehabilitation and resettlement of ex-servicemen, Mr. Jhingran said.
Col. Ramesh Kumar, Director, Sainik Welfare (Telangana), SBI GM-1 Manju Sharma, DGM and CDO Jitendra Kumar Sharma, AGM and CSO Maj JK Sisugoswami and AGM (M&C) Pallam Raju were present, the bank said in a release.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
