Bantwal: While it is natural to register a missing report with the police when any person, animal, or assets go missing, at the Bantwal police station a unique complaint has been filed over the apparent missing of a well. The Narikombu village’s Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) reportedly filed a complaint, “A well has gone missing, please search and give”, at the Bantwal station. 

In his complaint to the police, the Narikombu village PDO identified as Shivagondappa Biradar has asked the police to find the missing well which was constructed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee at the Narikombu gram panchayat jurisdiction in Nelyadka. 

Additionally in the complaint, the PDO has also accused a resident of Nelyadka identified as Dayanand Poojary of covering the well with dirt and invading the area. 

During the 13th year of the Mahatma Gandhi National Employment Guarantee scheme 2012, the well had been publically dug with a grant of 73,305 rupees.  At present, a local named Dayanand Poojary has unlawfully closed the well and encroached on the area. Through his complaint, the PDO has asked for legal action to be taken against Dayanand Poojary for causing an economic loss to the government.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.

“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.

Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”

Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”

“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.

When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”

The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
