New Delhi: A day after Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) announced a campaign on Twitter alleged scam by the commission in announcing the result of the UPSC exam 2019.

The users alleged that the commission had announced vacancies of 927 seats in the services but had announced results for only 829 seats without giving any information about the remaining 98 vacancies.

 Through the campaign, the users alleged that the commission had scammed the 98 seats. Dalit, OBC, SC and ST rights activists soon joined the campaign and added that the commission and the Central Government were against the reservation and that the remaining 98 seats will go to the General category candidates through “backdoor”.

Noted OBC and Dalit rights activist and journalist Dilip C Mandal was also among those who participated in the campaign and sought answers from both UPSC and the Government.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign:

Panaji (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Monday converted a civil suit against Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub into a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) saying "someone has to be held accountable" for the tragedy in which 25 people were killed.In a stern observation, Goa bench of the High Court of Justices Sarang Kotwal and Ashish Chavan said the local panchayat had "failed to take suo motu cognisance" of the club and had taken "no action despite complaints."

The division bench directed the Goa government to file a detailed reply on the permissions granted to the nightclub.

The High Court, while fixing January 8 as the next date of hearing, pointed out that commercial operations were continuing in the structure despite it having been served a demolition order.

The original petition was filed after the December 6 tragedy by Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar and Sunil Divkar, the owners of the land on which the nightclub was operating.

Advocate Rohit Bras de Sa, the lawyer representing the petitioner, was made amicus curiae in the matter and has been asked to file a detailed affidavit in the matter.

In their petition, Amonkar and Divkar highlighted "the alarming pattern of statutory violations that have remained inadequately addressed despite multiple complaints, inspections, show-cause notices, and even a demolition order".

They contended that these violations posed "immediate threats to public safety, ecological integrity, and the rule of law in the state of Goa."

Investigations by multiple agencies into the nightclub fire have revealed various irregularities, including lack of permissions to operate the nightclub.

The Goa police arrested five managers and staff members of the club, while co-owners Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra have been detained in Thailand after they fled the country.
