Kim Jong-un orders North Koreans to give up pet dogs to be used as meat in restaurants amid food crisis
Kim Jong-un
Amid the food crisis in the country because of the COVID-19 pandemic, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered citizens to give up their pet dogs so that they can be killed for their meat, which can be used in restaurants.
Once the dogs are confiscated, some of them will be sent to the state-run zoos and some will be divided among the restaurants for meat. Dog meat in North Korea is considered to be delicacy, which will now be provided to families as a reliable food source. The decision, for obvious reasons, is receiving worldwide criticism.
For the confiscation of pet dogs, North Korea government, on the direction of the Supreme Leader, has appointed authorities to identify families with pet dogs. Once the identification procedure is done, citizens will be forced to give up their furry friends and will be sent to zoos and restaurants.

For the uninitiated, in North Korea, pet dogs have always been seen as western decadence? and the dictator has himself reportedly said in the past that ordinary people raise livestock and cattle while only the rich and elite should have pet dogs. He mentioned having pet dogs a sign of ‘capitalism’ and bourgeois ideology.
The Supreme leaders nasty decision against the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic to justify the class difference is being termed as ‘brutal’ and inhuman.
Pet dogs in North Korea and their ownership has always been a topic of discussion in North Korea but banning them has been debatable since the 1980s. Back in 2018, the country asked its citizens to give up their dogs ahead of the Party Foundation Day (one of North Korea’s biggest and most important holidays). If the owners refused to surrender the dogs, they were told to hand over the US $148 worth of rice to the state, South China Morning Post reported.

Pune police have arrested a Gujarat-based businessman for using his wife’s Aadhaar card to check into a hotel in Pune with his girlfriend. The police acted after a complaint by his wife. A police official informed that a case was registered against the businessman at Hinjewadi police station in Pune on Tuesday (February 1).
As per the police, the man’s wife who stays in Gujarat and is a director in his company, suspected her husband of having an affair. A police official said: “The wife had fitted a GPS tracker in her husband’s SUV. In November last year, when he told her about his business trip to Bengaluru, she checked his location and found that the car was at a Pune hotel.
When the wife contacted the hotel, the staff informed her that the man had checked in with his wife. On further enquiry, the real wife found out that her husband had checked into the hotel with another woman (posing as his wife), using the real wife’s Aadhaar card. The wife later lodged a complaint with the police.

Ghosts exist; I got rid of evil spirits through chants, claims IIT Mandi director
Laxmidhar Behera
A statement by the newly-appointed IIT Mandi director Laxmidhar Behera claiming that ghosts exists and that he has gotten ‘rid of evil spirits’ through chants has sparked a controversy.
In a five minute YouTube video clip, which has now been made private, Behera recounts how he had travelled to Chennai in 1993 to help a friend who was in distress as his family was ‘affected by ghosts.’ In the video, he is heard saying that he had started ‘practising the thoughts and wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita’ along with chanting the Hare Rama Hare Krishna? mantra and had decided to help his friend to ‘demonstrate the potency of the holy name.’
Recalling the incident, Behera added in the clip: “So I took two of my friends and reached at 7 pm. He was in a research scholar apartment. After 10-15 minutes of loud chanting we suddenly saw his father, who was a very short person, absolutely old, barely able to walk, and suddenly his hand and leg washe was creating such a ghastly dance and his head is almost touching the roof. You could feel that he is being completely devoured by the evil spirit.”
Behera also claimed that the mother and wife of the friend were later ‘possessed by the evil spirit.’ It took them around 45 minutes to an hour of loud chanting to ward off the ‘evil spirit.’
When The Indian Express asked Behera about the video, he said, “I narrated what I said. Ghosts exist, yes.” while adding that modern science cannot explain a lot of occurrences or events.
As per reports, Behera was previously a professor at IIT Kanpur in the Department of Electrical Engineering. His specialisations include robotics and artificial intelligence. He has completed 30 projects, has 307 publications, and 2,612 citations. He was earlier heading the Intelligent Systems and Control Laboratory at IIT Kanpur. He has been associated with IIT Kanpur since 2001, before which he was associated with BITS-Pilani and REC-Rourkela.
