A box containing Rs 24.68 lakh cash found outside an ATM of a leading public sector bank here sent the local police into a tizzy. Later, it was found that an employee of the agency which replenishes cash in the ATMs had forgotten it there.

The box, having bundles of Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 notes, was spotted by a college student near a branch of the bank close to Zaver Nagar on Waghodia road hereon Saturday late night when he went there to withdraw some cash from the ATM, Assistant Police Commissioner Y R Gamit said on February 27.

The box had apparently been lying since February 23 after the employee of the cash replenishing agency forgot it outside the ATM, he said. The student opened the box and, to his surprise, found bundles of currency notes inside it. Assuming it to be a case of loot, he called up the police in the wee hours on Sunday. Gamit along with police inspector J V Amin, who was on night patrolling duty in the area, rushed to the spot.

The police then called up the branch manager and an official of cash replenishing agency to the site. After ascertaining that the cash bundles were intact, they were handed over to the branch manager. “We will also watch the CCTV footage. It is surprising that nobody noticed the box lying near the ATM for three-four days,” Gamit said.

The president's initial order temporarily halting all entries into the US from seven Muslim-majority countries was blocked by a federal judge. Trump has vigorously criticised the decision. The administration official was not authorised to discuss the rollout of the new order publicly and insisted on anonymity.

Placards identify burqa-clad woman for govt scheme Officials involved in the  Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna  (PMAY) are facing a unique problem as many Muslim women beneficiaries of the scheme are insisting on having their pictures clicked only in a burqa. Beneficiaries, all of whom are women, are allotted an amount of Rs 1.60 lakh to construct a pucca house under the scheme. However, before releasing the payment, the beneficiary's picture has to be taken and uploaded on the  PMAY portal  along with land details. But in doing so, officials are facing resistance, especially in Muslim-dominated areas. In Dehradun, Roorkee and Haridwar, for instance, many women have objected to lifting their burqa to have their pictures clicked. After failing to convince the women, officials have now hit upon a novel idea and agreed to have their pictures clicked in a burqa as they stand in front of their respective plots and hold a placard with their name on it. "We have tried our utmost t
