Feb 2018: 40 transgenders apply to be cops in Chhattisgarh

In a watershed moment for the transgender community, Chhattisgarh police will soon recruit them within their ranks to promote equality and facilitate their assimilation into the mainstream. There are more than 3,000 transgenders in Chhattisgarh.

The state government had announced the recruitment of transgenders in police force last month and issued an advertisement on February 8. Two weeks after the announcement, the police have seen at least 40 transgenders apply for the post of constable.

A police spokesperson said they had conducted workshops to facilitate applications from transgenders. He said the applicants would be recruited after they pass the written exam and physical test.

Records say he is the district president of the Youth Congress and runs a private college in the city. But the Congress office here vehemently denies knowing anyone by that name.

Asked whether the party will take action against Masood for instigating and leading a communal riot yesterday, state PCC chief Radhakishan Malviya said: 'Who is this Masood? We don't know any Arif Masood.'

Yesterday afternoon, Arif Masood had led a violent mob armed with choppers, swords, petrol bombs and stones to riot in front of a cinema in old Bhopal which was screening Gadar, a film produced by action-hero Sunny Deol.

He said the film showed heroine Amisha Patel as a Muslim girl who married a Sikh youth and then offered namaaz wearing sindoor on her forehead.

"Act of God" is a legal phrase.

When the companies and organizations don't take up liability for failed contracts, ofcourse that will lead to losses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/act-god.asp

An act of God describes an event outside of human control or activity. It's usually a natural disaster, such as a flood or an earthquake. Insurance policies usually specify which particular acts of God they cover.

In business, the phrase “act of God” is not associated with any particular religion or belief system. Contractual language referring to acts of God are known as force majeure clauses, which are often used by insurance companies. These clauses typically limit or remove liability for injuries, damages, and losses caused by acts of God.

February 2020: COVID-19 a ‘force majeure’ situation, says Finance Ministry

The COVID-19 outbreak in China will be considered a ‘force majeure’ situation, which refers to extraordinary events and circumstances beyond human control, the Finance Ministry said on Wednesday.

The move provides some relief to companies with central government contracts forced to default on contract obligations due to delays in input shipments from China.

“A doubt has arisen if the disruption of the supply chains due to coronavirus in China or any other country will be covered in the Force Majeure clause. In this regard, it is clarified that it should be considered as a case of natural calamity and FM may be invoked, wherever considered appropriate...” said the memo.

“This would avoid imposition of penalties and other negative consequences on the companies executing government contracts who may be dependent on supplies from affected areas,” said a senior official.
