Alert to States on ISI drive among 'Rohingyas'

Concerned over reports of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence agency-backed attempts by the Harkat-ul-Jihad(HuJI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terror outfits to recruit the ‘Rohingyas’ to avenge the ongoing communal strife in Myanmar, intelligence agencies have issued an alert to the border states.

Sources said the inputs received by the agencies suggest that the ISI is facilitating the recruitment of vulnerable ‘Rohingyas’ and providing training to the terror recruits in the camps run by the LeT, with active HuJi support.

“Since 2012, several thousand ‘Rohingyas’  illegally entered the Indian territory through Bangladesh and are staying at several cities demanding refugee status. Given the fact that the LeT and HuJI called for revenge in Myanmar, there could be serious security implications for India,” sources said.

In the wake of the Bodh Gaya serial blasts, security agencies have asked the border forces to beef up the security along the India-Bangladesh border, that provides safe routes for the ‘Rohingya’ people fleeing Myanmar.

Although, the refugees are not under the scanner, security agencies do not rule out infiltration by cadre masquerading as illegal immigrants. “An alert was issued to Karnataka, J&K, Assam, Hyderabad, Rajasthan and UP to remain vigilant in the aftermath of the Mahabodhi Temple attack.  Similar alerts were issued to all the border states to prevent illegal immigration,” an official said.

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do...

Ancient Rakhine City of Mrauk-U Proposed for UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Irrawaddy YANGON—Myanmar’s Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture submitted the final draft of its nomination for Mrauk-U to become a World Heritage Site to UNESCO on Monday, four months after the ministry submitted the first draft of its nomination in September 2019. If the application succeeds, Mrauk-U will be the third place in Myanmar to be inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, after the ancient cities of Bagan and Pyu. Mrauk-U is located in northern Rakhine State, around 60 km from the state capital of Sittwe. The ancient city was the seat of Arakanese kings from the 1400s until the late 1700s.
