Hathras incident “inhumane, beyond cruelty”; Virat Kohli calls for Justice for Manisha Valmiki
New Delhi: Indian Cricket Team’s captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday called for Justice for Manisha Valmiki, a 20-year-old Dalit girl who was brutally raped earlier this month. Manisha succumbed to her injuries in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning.
The woman had suffered multiple fractures, paralysis and a deep gash in her tongue in the savage assault compared by many to the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape.
The incident that has shocked the country was condemned widely on Tuesday across social media platforms after the girl breathed her last on Tuesday. #JusticeForManishaValmiki was top trending on Twitter with nearly two lakh tweets at the time of posting this report.
Skipper Virat Kohli also took to twitter and condemned the incident and called it “inhumane” and said it goes beyond cruelty. He also hoped that the culprits of the heinous crime will be brought to justice.
What happened in #Hathras is inhumane and goes beyond cruelty. Hope the culprits of this heinous crime will be brought to justice. #JusticeForManishaValmiki

Tsunami alert after a volcano in Indonesia has several big eruptions and thousands are told to leave
Jakarta, Apr 17: Indonesian authorities issued a tsunami alert Wednesday after eruptions at Ruang mountain sent ash thousands of feet high. Officials ordered more than 11,000 people to leave the area.
The volcano on the northern side of Sulawesi island had at least five large eruptions in the past 24 hours, Indonesia's Centre for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation said. Authorities raised their volcano alert to its highest level.
At least 800 residents left the area earlier Wednesday.
Indonesia, an archipelago of 270 million people, has 120 active volcanoes. It is prone to volcanic activity because it sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines around the Pacific Ocean.
Authorities urged tourists and others to stay at least 6 km (3.7 miles) from the 725-metre (2,378 foot) Ruang volcano.
Officials worry that part of the volcano could collapse into the sea and cause a tsunami as in a 1871 eruption there.
Tagulandang island to the volcano's northeast is again at risk, and its residents are among those being told to evacuate.
Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency said residents will be relocated to Manado, the nearest city, on Sulawesi island, a journey of six hours by boat.
In 2018, the eruption of Indonesia's Anak Krakatau volcano caused a tsunami along the coasts of Sumatra and Java after parts of the mountain fell into the ocean, killing 430 people.
