Expelled the same day: Ireland hardens illegal immigration responseBhagalpur: With the aim of decentralising township development, a plan has been devised to transform rural areas into Greenfield village townships or cities equipped with modern infrastructure, modelled after Bhagalpur city. The objective is to provide city-like amenities in selected villages to curb the migration of rural residents to urban areas while ensuring village development. The proposed village townships will feature primary schools, primary health centres, cultural centres, community halls, business centres and other facilities. Township roads will be 9m wide, complemented by modern infrastructure such as water supply systems, drainage and sewerage systems, streetlights and electricity supply systems. An estimated Rs 12 crore will be allocated for the development of these village townships, for which a “model project” has already been prepared. Bhagalpur district magistrate (DM) Nawal Kishor Choudhary held a meeting with mukhiyas from 16 blocks to discuss plans for developing village townships. “A single chunk of 22 acres of land will be required in each block under the ‘ Kshetriya Vikas Yojana ’ (regional development scheme),” said the DM. The ‘model project’ was also showcased to the mukhiyas during the meeting. “The village townships in the selected villages of the 16 blocks are being developed under the RDS with the cooperation of progressive mukhiyas, farmers and village residents. The developed village townships will act as catalysts for the development of adjoining rural areas,” the DM told this newspaper.

It is now two wins and three draws from the last six matches for Glasner’s side, whose winter revival is gathering pace nicely following a sticky start to the campaign. “I feel very happy, we’re all very pleased with the result, it was not the best performance but the result was more important,” said the Eagles boss. “Most of the time we controlled the game and we scored an amazing goal, a fantastic finish from JP. “We had more chances to decide the game but we couldn’t, but I think the win was well deserved. “We didn’t give them any chances from open play and with a clean sheet you can always take the win. “It’s a big win. Now it’s not time to sit back and relax but to keep going. In four days we face Manchester City. We stay humble. There are still many things to improve but we are on the right path.” Ipswich looked the likelier to score as a low-key first half drew to a close and were denied by a point-blank save by Dean Henderson from Harry Clarke’s near-post header. Shortly after the interval Wes Burns got clear down the right and lifted an inviting cross towards Liam Delap, whose header was straight at Henderson. However, from out of nowhere Palace conjured up a lightning counter-attack to go ahead on the hour. Eberechi Eze led the charge before feeding Mateta, who surged forward with a couple of stepovers before brushing off the attention of Jacob Greaves and finishing superbly past Arijanet Muric. It was the French forward’s sixth goal of the season, and his first away from Selhurst Park. Back came Ipswich with Leif Davis fizzing in another cross for Delap, who somehow mistimed his jump and completely missed the ball from six yards. As time ticked down Greaves looped a header against the far post, with the rebound just eluding substitute Ali-Al Hamadi. “Frustrating night,” said Town boss Kieran McKenna. “It was a tight first half, we weren’t fantastic in terms of the flow of the game and didn’t create as many opportunities as we wanted. But having said that neither did our opponents. “In the second half we conceded a really poor goal and that proved decisive. We can do better than we did tonight.”Are you tracking your health with a device? Here’s what could happen with the data
By ZEKE MILLER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the Justice Department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees after a weeks-long delay. The step lets Trump transition aides and future administration staffers obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day to access classified information about ongoing government programs, an essential step for a smooth transiton of power. It also allows those nominees who are up for Senate confirmation to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on them. Teams of investigators have been standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers. “This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said Susie Wiles, Trump’s designate to be White House chief of staff.
