<B>Teacher suspected of sexual interference</B>
Harikrishna Bhola, a 26-year old teacher at New La Tour Koenig Government School, has been arrested after allegations of sexual interference by four of his female pupils aged of nine and ten years old. The Child Development Unit has sent the teacher to Alcatraz detention centre where he will stay until the end of the investigation. After the allegations, some hundred parents gathered in front of the school to protest against the teacher. However, other parents of children in the same class are sceptical about these allegations. They say the teacher was strict but they do not believe he could have acted in such a way. The ministry of Education has also opened an administrative enquiry to find out the truth.
<B>Romantic drive leads to death</B>
Jean-Noël Diolle was found dead in his four-wheel drive in a precipice in Albion early on Sunday morning. His girlfriend, Marie-Angélique Levaillant, is at the Intensive Care Unit of Jeetoo Hospital with several body injuries. After spending the night in a nightclub in Flic-en-Flac, the couple had gone for a ride near Albion lighthouse and stopped at the edge of the cliff, when the car fell twenty metres to the rocks below. The man died immediately while the young woman is suffering from a broken pelvis and a fractured right leg.
<B>More expensive bus tickets</B>
Bus tickets could be subject to a Rs 1 or 2 rise at the beginning of October. The minister of Public infrastructure, Transport and Shipping, Anil Baichoo, has made it clear that bus companies will not survive if nothing is done to increase the tariffs. Many of these companies already have to face major financial difficulties and are bound to review the ticket prices. Although the National Transport Authority, in collaboration with the Management Audit Bureau, has already worked on it, the exact extent of the rise has not been made public yet. The cabinet has to first give its agreement. According to the minister, only a few people will suffer from this rise as most people either get a transport allowance – like civil servants – or a company transport service – as in the EPZ sector.
