Day after NCP slams NCB, IT raids premises linked with Ajit Pawar

In a multi-district operation, the Income Tax Department on Thursday swooped on various premises including factories, offices and residences linked with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, his family members and business associates.

The action came a day after the Nationalist Congress Party national spokesperson and Minister Nawab Malik had targetted the Narcotics Control Bureau for allegedly including some Bharatiya Janata Party activists in its raids on an alleged rave party aboard a luxury cruise ship on October 2, in which Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested.

The targets of the IT Department were the Jarandeshwar Sugar Mills, Daund Sugar Mills, Pushpadanteshwar Sugar Mills, Ambalika Sugar Mills, and offices or residences of Ajit Pawar's three sisters in Pune and Kolhapur.

Confirming the raids, Pawar said the IT Department has raided a few firms connected with him and it is their right but denied any wrongdoings.

"I am not sure whether they were conducted for political purposes or for getting more information. We have been paying all taxes promptly," Pawar told media persons.

Pawar, the nephew of NCP President Sharad Pawar, also expressed "pain" at the manner in which his sisters are being targeted by the IT Department, and said that the motive behind the action is still not clear.

"My sisters have been raided, one in Kolhapur and two in Pune. It they are targeted because they are related to me, then the people of the state must consider the levels to which the central agencies are being misused to target us," he said. (IANS)

Fuller Profiles, More Matches: An estimated 1 in 3 dating app users don't update their dating app profile once they put it up - but if you add a new photo or a new story, most dating apps treat you like a new person and the algorithm kicks into gear, showing you to MORE people. People who complete their profile get 200 percent more matches. Don't forget that you will get out of dating apps what you put into them, so put some love into finding love.

Keep your bios short but away from cliches: Show doesn't tell - instead of describing yourself with adjectives, talk about the things you love and enjoy doing but make sure you keep it short and sweet. You can skip writing a dissertation on yourself but instead choose quirky bios. They are great conversation starters but cliches like #wanderlust might be a big no-no but your favourite OTT show would be screaming Yes!

Go beyond just a 'Hey': Send meaningful messages to initiate conversations; keep them around 140 characters and avoid saying "hey". Saying "hey" in a first message, unless you are a Hollywood star, is almost equivalent to saying nothing and has a 92 percent chance of being completely ignored. Users take out time and effort to update their profiles and a simple "hey" might just indicate that you hardly bothered to look at their profile. Don't waste your shot at love with just three alphabets.

Remain Active: You definitely don't want to be a serial dater but many apps make your profile dormant if you don't go on for more than two weeks, which means they stop showing you people. Sinking into hibernation mode is a huge red flag and you can increase your likes by up to 3x when you log in every day. (IANS)
