Gen V K Singh be summoned by J & K Pakistan behind Keran infiltration: Army chief Legislative Council: Devender Rana
SRINAGAR: Former Army Chief VK Singh should be summoned by the J&K Legislative Council to explain his remarks on alleged army pay-offs to political leader, the ruling National Conference demanded on Tuesday. Speaking on a discussion motion in the Upper House of J&K, NC MLC Devender Singh Rana said the allegations levelled by the former army chief "have not only brought disrepute to the Army and the country, but have also cast aspersions on the democratic process in the state". "Time has come that VK Singh be called to the House. Let him stand here so that we ask questions. You (Chairman Amrit Malhotra) be the judge and let the truth come before the people of Jammu and Kashmir," Rana said. The NC legislator also demanded that the House pass a resolution asking the Centre to probe the allegations. The state Assembly yesterday passed a unanimous resolution asking the Centre to conduct a thorough and timebound probe into the charges levelled by the former Army Chief, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah saying he allegations cannot be dismissed. The allegations are a threat to the democratic polity of the state. Democracy has been challenged. The temple of democracy, that this Legislative Council is, has been cast aspersions upon. The entire democratic process in Jammu and Kashmir has been challenged," MLC Rana said today. He stressed that summoning Singh to the House for questioning is not similar to calling the Army or Army Chief, but an individual who happens to be a former army chief. Rana said there should be a thorough 8Contd p2 HINDON: Army chief Gen Bikram Singh on Tuesday sought to reject the perception that the Keran incident was on the pattern of Kargil intrusion of 1999, saying it was just an infiltration bid by terrorists but suggested the complicity of Pakistan Army in the episode. He insisted that terrorists were not occupying any higher ground but sitting in a "nallah" (rivulet) near the LoC in Kashmir valley. "It was a desperate infiltration bid, which has been foiled," Gen Singh told reporters here on the sidelines of the Air Force Day parade. He was asked about the incident in Keran in Kashmir where the Army was engaged for the last 15 days with a group of 35-40 militants about 300-400 metres inside Indian territory having a supply-line to Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir, an incident which reminded about the Kargil intrusion of 1999 when Indian posts were occupied.

placed before the world the theory of how particles acquire mass, physicists Francois Englert and Peter Higgs were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics 2013. On Tuesday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced what was 8Contd p2

Higgs, Englert win ...
already highly anticipated - Englert (University of Brussels) and Higgs (University of Edinburgh) joined an elite league of scientists - Marie Curie and Albert Einstein to win the Nobel for Physics. In 2012, their ideas were confirmed by the discovery of a so called Higgs particle at the CERN laboratory outside Geneva in Switzerland. Professor Staffan Normark who is the permanent secretary of the RSAS said "the prize is being given for something very small but which makes all the difference." Interestingly the theory of the God Particle was placed before the world by Englert together with his now deceased colleague Robert Brout in 1964, weeks before Higgs spoke of the Higgs Particle. But the scientists had never met till July 4, 2012 when CERN confirmed their discovery. Speaking after winning the Nobel, professor Englert said "Higgs and I never met before July 2012. When I meet him, I will congratulate him for this brilliant and important work." According to professor Englert, the most important puzzle still needs to be answered - explanation of the dark matter and the dark energy and the quantanisation of gravity. On being asked how he felt about winning the Nobel, professor Englert "I am very happy. I had low festivity earlier because it wasn't announced as yet." He then joked "It is not very unpleasant of course to win a Nobel." The citation read "The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded jointly to Francois Englert and Peter W. Higgs for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider". The RSAS said the awarded theory is a central part of the Standard Model of particle physics that describes how the world is constructed. According to the Standard Model, everything, from flowers and people to stars and planets, consists of just a few building blocks: matter particles. These particles are governed by forces mediated by force particles that make sure everything works as it should. The entire Standard Model also rests on the existence of a special kind of particle: the Higgs particle. This particle originates from an invisible field that fills up all space. Even when the universe seems empty this field is there. Without it, we would not exist, because it is from contact with the field that particles acquire mass. The theory proposed by Englert and Higgs describes this process. On 4 July 2012, at the CERN laboratory for particle physics, the theory was confirmed by the discovery of a Higgs particle. CERN's particle collider, LHC (Large Hadron Collider), is probably the largest and the most complex machine ever constructed by humans. the Hindu leaders but only are extra cautious to defend the boys who were actually responsible for the ruckus. The BJP leaders were agitated also on the issue that even after five days of the incident the government has not taken any action against the culprits but are framing false charges against the innocent youth against whom the warrants are issued and they warned the authorities to control the situation to bring peace otherwise the BJP will take course of action at wider scale. The prominent protestors were Sat Sharma (C.A), Munish Sharma, Chander Mohan Gupta, Rajinder Sharma, Ravinder Raina, N.D. Rajwal, Dinesh Gupta, Balwan Singh, Ayodhya Gupta, Praduman Singh, Surinder Choudhary, Arvind Gupta, Vivek Gupta, Dalip Kumar, Balbir Singh, Dinesh Sharma, Bal Khajuria, Vijay Sharma, Karan Sharma, Sat Pal Karlupia, Ajay Vaid, Jeet Angral, Rakesh Mishra, Bawa Sharma, Prem Gupta, Manhori Gupta, Sangeeta Gupta, Sunita Arora, Nirmal Gupta, Rakesh Jandial, Raj Kumar, Rajeev Dubey, Ashwani Khosla, Rinku Chauhan, Dheeraj Chadha, Puran Sharma, Satpal Khajuria, Rakesh Verma, Naresh Sharma, Rajeshwar Singh, Chetan Mehra, and other took part in the protest demonstration.

As the chief minister has invited the striking employees for talks, the meeting is scheduled at 12.30 pm on Wednesday at his secretariat office. The senior government officials exuded confidence that the strike would be called off after the meeting. However, leaders of the AP Non-Gezetted Officers ( APNGO), an employees' union which is at the forefront of the strike, said they would not call off the strike unless they get a clear assurance on keeping the state united. "We have launched the struggle knowing the consequences very well. We are not deterred by the troubles. There is no question of calling off the strike without a clear commitment from the Centre to drop the proposal to divide the state," said P Ashok Babu, president of APNGO. However, he said the representatives of the striking employees would go to the talks with the chief minister with an open mind and further course of action would depend on the outcome of the meeting. He said the APNGO had written to all MPs and MLAs from the state demanding them to give their commitment to the cause of the united-AP. He said the APNGO members would lay siege to the residences of those MPs and MLAs who failed to respond the letter. Replying to a query, Ashok Babu said the APNGO would not allow the political parties to take over the stir. He said a delegation would leave for Delhi to meet the national leaders and seek their support following which the APNGO would stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar. Meanwhile, expressing his concern over the plight of the employees, finance minister Anam Ramanrayana Reddy called upon them to call off the strike. As he is the member of the cabinet sub-committee on employees' affairs, Anam said he would request the government to convert the strike period into leave and he would try to release festival advance for the employees if they agreed to end the strike.

discussion on the conduct of Technical Services Division (TSD) of Army set by General Singh as it was not a part of the regular security grid. Referring to reports alleging snooping on the Chief Minister, Rana asked "what business does an Army chief have to tap the phones of a Chief Minister?" He said the politicians of the state were "already facing credibility crisis" and Singh's allegations have further raised eyebrows. "The former general would have been tried for treason if he was in some other country. He has brought a stigma to the democratic process in the state," he said. He claimed that no one has refuted what the news report said adding, "not even the minister named in the report has denied taking money. He just says he is innocent." Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) legislator Naeem Akhtar said his party will support any resolution on the issue just like it did in the Legislative Assembly. In a democratic system, no accusation is bigger than the accusation of toppling a democratically elected government, he said, adding, "Why has there been no action against the former Army general. "Why did not the Union Home Ministry or Defence Ministry take any action? There are double standards when it comes to Kashmir. We are keeping Jammu and Kashmir isolated from the good, best and proud system of Indian Republic. If you probe the fake encounters in Gujarat, why not here." Few other legislators also spoke on the discussion, which will continue in the House tomorrow.
tion, nobody is coming or nobody is occupying anything. Be rest assured. The Army jawans are well trained and have adequate fire power," he replied. "Because of the terrain and the situation there we do not want to expose our boys. The good part is that we have not lost any of our boys," Browne said. Asked why the Army troops have not been able to recapture the positions held by the Pakistanis, he said, "Let us not hype the situation. There is a word called 'savlanuth' in Hebrew. The meaning of that word is patience." In response to a question, the Army commander said infiltrating militants have always received the tacit support of the Pakistan Army establishment. "We are almost on eyeball-to-eyeball and we can see each other. At such a point, when a large group of terrorists infiltrate....you mean to say that that is happening without the complicity of the Pakistan Army? This is ridiculous," he said. Lt Gen Chachra said most of the arms recovered from the area of the operation have Pakistan marking. The senior officer said he visited the five soldiers injured in the gunbattle and also interacted with the officers and jawans on the ground. "Their morale is high. The injured boys are recovering and there is no need to worry about them," he added.
23 AK rifles...
said. "Five AK rifles, two pistols and 17 UBGLs were recovered during search operations in Keran sector today," a defence spokesman said. General Officer Commanding in Chief of Army's Northern Command Lt General Sanjiv Chachra earlier in the day said that 59 weapons, including 18 AK 47 rifles, had been recovered. Besides, 14 pistols, one sniper rifle, 20 UBGL grenades, seven radio-sets and other war-like stores were also recovered along with some medicines and food items during the operation. The Army launched a massive anti-infiltration operation in Shalbhatti village in Keran Sector on September 24 after noticing a group of 30 to 40 militants trying to sneak into the Valley.

Says stay orders against illegal structures issued by different courts, Spl Tribunal, not by High Court
SRINAGAR, OCT 08: Minister for Urban Development and Urban Local Bodies, Mr. Nawang Rigzin Jora has refuted the news item appeared in today's local English newspaper "Kashmir Monitor" which has attributed to him that 1500 stay orders are pending in the High Court against demolition of unauthorized structures. He has said that there are 1400 stay orders from various Courts including J&K Special Tribunal. He said the newspaper has misquoted him that "the stay orders have been given by the High Court".

"They mean a lot to me. I would also like to send my best to all the fans involved in the accident and hope that everyone is all right." An IndyCar official and 13 spectators were also hurt by flying debris from the three-vehicle smash but none seriously.

The three-car smash happened in turn five of the track`s 10 turns and also BEIJING: The wildcard team of Roger Federer and Zhang Ze needed just 48 minutes to beat Kevin Anderson of South Africa and Russian Dmitry Tursunov 6-2, 6-1 in the opening round of the Shanghai Rolex Masters men`s doubles event Monday.The Swiss/Chinese pairing saved the only break point they faced, and won 91 percent of first serve points. Federer, the 17-time Grand Slam champion, said his partnership with Zhang was good for tennis in China. "That`s kind of the ultimate goal, to partner up with a Chinese upcoming player and promote the game at the same time." "I`m just so happy for Zhang Ze. He played really well. I really am, because he couldn`t have played any better." The Swiss No. 1 said he hoped to see more players from the Asian continent break through."We had Paradorn Srichaphan, we have Kei Nishikori from Japan. Hopefully we`ll have more and more players coming up," said Federer. "By having such a great tournament and all the top players coming here to Shanghai, I think that`s only going to help it. I think we all really want something to happen in a big way in the next 10, 20 years here."Federer and Zhang face off against fifth seeds Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo in the second round.

Race officials were forced to postpone Friday`s qualifying because of problems with the 2.57 kilometre (1.6 mile) temporary circuit which included a troublesome bump in turn one. Qualifying finally got underway Saturday morning, but not before track crews worked overnight and into the morning grinding the area in turn one to try to make it safe for the drivers.

an allegorical tale about a dispute between two villagers, one a woman, which was essentially about settling disputes without involving third parties (which means she was present). The matter might have fizzled out, had not Mr Narendra Modi set the cat among the pigeons with a thundering denunciation just hours before Mr Singh and Mr Sharif met on the sidelines of the UN General Gandhi ne unke saath kal jo kiya hai, uske baad Manmohan Singh saab ki credibility India may kaafi kharab ho gayi hai. Wo ab position mein nahin hai ki Pakistan ke saath koi bada breakthrough kare (He is of the view that Manmohan Singh is weak and after what Rahul Gandhi did yesterday his credibility in India has been hurt. He is not in a position to make a big breakthrough with Pakistan). When the balloon burst, someone (possibly to save the summit) nudged Mr Mir to state that Mr Sharif did not say anything derogatory about the Indian Prime Minister. He obliged, but contradicted himself saying the dehati aurat comment was a joke and that the Indian journalist was not there all the time. Since Mr Mir had clearly reported that Mr Sharif had looked at Ms Dutt before making the impugned remark, he left enough scope for readers to understand that his initial report was true. PM Nawaz never said anything derogatory against Manmohan, he tweeted. PM Nawaz Sharif shared a joke with us on breakfast table about Manmohanji. Its very long I cannot mention. That left Ms Dutt holding the can. She finally said Mr Sharif merely expressed unhappiness that Pakistan had been so central to the meeting between Mr Singh and Mr Obama. The village allegory was an illustrative example of dispute resolutions between India, Pakistan and the United States. She claimed satisfaction from Mr Mirs retraction, but that, like the subsequent retraction by Mr Sharif, it was a mere diplomatic nicety. The controversy, and the media handling of it, raise fundamental questions about the Indian medias perception of itself and its role in national affairs. Is the media the traditional fourth estate, a pillar of the establishment (Nation, not Government), or is it a free radical, floating in the biosphere, ready to travel with the Prime Minister as part of the official Indian contingent but ethically free to bat with the other side? As the nation undergoes intense political and ideological churning in the coming days, these and related questions will demand an answer.
EDITORIAL
FARCE IN REFORMS NAME
Coming only three days after juvenile offenders escaped from a reform centre in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, the violent home-break at a similar institution in Delhi on Sunday, has put the spotlight on to two disturbing trends: First, the inadequacy of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000, to respond to the changing demographics of young criminals from a legal point of view, and second, the colossal mismanagement of juvenile homes from an administrative point of view. In both the cases, the trouble-makers were in the 15 to 17 years age group; many of them were repeat offenders who had been in and out of such homes much of their lives; and some of them have committed serious crimes such as murder, dacoity and theft. While in the Delhi home-break incident, the inmates went on an eight-hour-long rampage, vandalising, looting and setting a part of the building on fire, in Rewa, they attacked the lone security guard and overpowered three constables. In fact, the Delhi boys had reportedly carried out a similar stunt at another correctional facility only months ago, while the teenagers in Rewa were supposedly inspired by a major jail-break engineered by hardened Islamists in Khandwa only two days ago. When viewed together, these delinquents are more than just mischievous children or wayward youngsters who need a stern warning from the authorities to get back on track. They are criminals who have had no qualms in breaking the law of the land, and they must be punished to the fullest extent for their crime. The Delhi home's superintendent's suggestions to lower the juvenile age, segregate repeat offenders and treat them as adults, is telling. Giving juvenile offenders an easy pass on account of their age does nothing to mend their ways; it only serves to embolden them as well as others who then believe that they too can get away easily. Take the December 16 Delhi gang rape case. Not only was the almost-18-yearold juvenile offender an equal partner in the crime, but he allegedly was the most vicious. Yet, he has, for all practical purposes, gone scot-free, while the other convicts have been given the death penalty. And that is not all. Taking a cue from the Delhi case, the juvenile accused in the Mumbai gang rape case in August this year is now confident that he too will get off with a light sentence hardly commensurate with the gravity of his crime. The lesson: The miscarriage of justice in one case leads to the mockery of the law as a whole. Clearly, there is a strong case to be made for amending the juvenile justice Act. Simultaneously, it is imperative to focus on reinforcing the juvenile reform system, which has all but collapsed. The correctional facilities in both Delhi and Rewa to cite two of many such instances were ill-prepared to handle such an outbreak despite the fact that similar incidents have happened with increasing frequency in the recent past. This is just one symptom of a larger systemic failure. Juvenile homes across India are overburdened, have poor infrastructure and are managed by callous officials who are incapable of doing their job. Instead of being reformed in these homes, even smalltime offenders risk becoming hardened criminals. We are seeing that happening.
Is the media a pillar of the establishment (Nation, not Government), or is it a free radical ready to travel with the Prime Minister as part of the official Indian contingent but ethically free to stand with the other side?
As the hullabaloo grew, Mr Hamid Mir, the Pakistani journalist who broke the news in real time on a television programme anchored by Mr Najam Sethi (still available on YouTube), tried to back track. But his spontaneous account of the meeting from Mr Sharif looking mockingly at Ms Barkha Dutt, to Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi publicly trashing a controversial ordinance to protect convicted lawmakers while the Prime Minister was abroad and thus making the latters position invidious was too emphatic and reasoned to be disowned as a misunderstanding. More pertinently, the impugned journalist changed her story too often. Using the Twitter platform, she first claimed that Mr Mirs version was a distortion entirely and that Mr Sharif had said nothing of this kind. Then she claimed there were bits in the interaction that were off the record and that such bits did not include any pejorative word about Mr Singh. She clarified in a series of tweets that Mr Sharif had told Assembly, How dare you (Sharif) address my nations Prime Minister as a village woman? There cannot be a bigger insult of the Indian Prime Minister. The BJPs prime ministerial aspirant made things worse for the ruling party by accusing Rahul Gandhi of humiliating the Prime Minister (pagdi uchaal di) with his antics at the Press Club of India, and left zero wiggle room for the sole Indian journalist at the breakfast. The Broadcast Editors Association, an apex body of editors of news channels, took umbrage at this and rushed to defend its own, lambasting Mr Modi for suggesting that the journalist(s) should have walked out: This tone and tenor is not acceptable and highly objectionable The media team was doing their duty. Were they? Mr Mir gave a cogent account of what transpired at the breakfast meeting, including an analysis of the political dynamics in Delhi which had rendered Mr Singh ineffective: Unka ye khayal hai ki Manmohan Singh kamzor hain aur Rahul
A job is a job, and the CBI has done it remarkably well over the years, though it has come under political pressure in several instances. The fodder scam case is a good example of the probe agency's efficiency
victed. This only goes to underline the all-pervasive nature of the scam, in which politicians of different hues collaborated with bureaucrats to siphon off public money. In the case at hand, the money had been earmarked for the Animal Husbandry Department to be spent on fodder and medicines for livestock. Only two fodder scam cases are being tried in Bihar. The other 53 cases are in the jurisdiction of Jharkhand. Of these, 46 have been disposed and nine are pending. There are a total of about 600 accused, out of which 550 have been convicted. It will be worthwhile to recall the landmarks of this case and how it was delayed.

Dear Editor,
Bhagirath Palace (Chandni Chowk) in Old Delhi has emerged as Asias biggest wholesalemarket for electrical, electronics, medicines, surgical and many other commodities and services. Till about four decades ago, it was the only properly-developed residential colony of Delhi6. But with change of time, it has completely converted into a haphazardly developed commercial complex with roads fully encroached by unauthorised pavement-dealers with police and municipal authorities having a close eye on all such illegal activities. There are complaints of pick-pocketing and thefts of copper-material by groups of miscreants including some Bangladeshi girls as reported by area-traders in a meeting called by Delhi Electricity Traders Association (DETA). Encroachments on roads leaving very narrow walkways prevented fire-tenders in reaching the site of a major fire in Bhagirath Palace on December 13,2012. But surprisingly and shockingly even then Delhi Police and municipal authorities did not take any action to remove encroachments from wide roads of this big commercial complex. While in yesteryears there was smooth traffic and parking allowed, now encroachers have chained entry of this market to prevent vehicular traffic for their own commercial interests. Yours faithfully, Subhash Chandra Agrawal, via email
Yours faithfully,
embezzling funds. March 1996: Patna High Court directs the CBI to investiagte the scam. The CBI registers an FIR in the Chaibasa treasury case. The Bihar Government appeals to the Supreme Court to let the case remain with Bihar Police. The appeal is rejected. June 1997: CBI completes its investigation and files a charge-sheet naming Lalu Prasad as an accused. July 1997: Lalu Prasad surrenders before the CBI court and is sent to judicial custody. October 2001: Supreme Court transfers fodder scam cases to Jharkhand, after the creation of the new State. February 2002: Trial begins in the special CBI court in Ranchi. August 2013: Supreme Court rejects Lalu Prasads plea to transfer the case from the trial court judge on the ground that the presiding officer is related to a Minister who is inimical to him, September 30: Lalu Prasad, Misra and 43 others are convicted by the CBI trial court. I have been pursuing this case for long and have been lampooned and criticised for my zeal, not to mention that I have come under pressure from the highest levels of the Government. But I have just ignored it all. An investigation is a painstaking job. But the CBI has to do it. And it is not left to a Sub-Inspector, Assistant Sub-Inspector or Head Constable. Under the law, CBI investigators have to be of the rank of either an Inspector or a Deputy Superintendent of Police. In my entire career, I have never told any investigator to work with a vengeance to prove or disprove a case. The conviction rate in the fodder cases has been over 90 per cent. This is a rare occurrence and should be an eye-opener that the Indian law enforcement system is capable of handling complicated tasks, provided it is allowed function effectively. Apart from some black sheep and some of them are senior officers in the CBI who stonewalled my investigative efforts, I also had to deal with the political class and its Oust Joginder campaign. In April 1997, Prime Minister IK Gujral took me to task for carrying out a witch-hunt, and lashed out at me for indulging in publicity-oriented probes. He said that some people were being prosecuted even before their cases had reached the courts. I think the publicity-oriented investigation
is something we have to prevent, he explained. He went on to add, And publicity sometimes gives me the impression that there is really some sort of exhibitionist trend in the personalities who think that it is more important for the public to know what they are doing. And the Prime Minister said this while he was criticising corruption in public life at a Chief Ministers conference. While he did not mention me by name, the indirect reference to the fodder scam, which was in the news at that time, was unmistakeable. He took up the matter with me, and for talking to the Press, in a one-on-one meeting. I told him that I would tell the media what had been done and cannot be undone, but never what CBI would be doing. He laughed and agreed with me. Irrespective of the official stand and his being occasionally annoyed with me, there was a certain amount of cordiality and respect that we had for each other. I appreciated his political compulsions and he understood my legal and also personal compulsions. Without my having to say much, it is worthwhile for the discerning readers to judge where I went wrong. I claim no personal credit for the conviction of any accused in fodder scam. After all, every action has a cause, and what we are seeing today is the result of what we did yesterday. It is the team-work of everybody, right from the constable to the Director, and those that were determined to bring the case to its logical conclusion. Hardships, obstacles and difficulties are natural in any worthwhile task, though any police job is unpleasant. The CBI has played a tremendous role in sending messages to the dishonest bureaucrats and the corrupt politicians; Beware. Big Brother is watching you. It is, therefore, no wonder, that several people are upset over the functioning of the CBI when the probe agency does its job well. A job is a job, and the CBI has done it remarkably well over the years, though it has trodden on many a corn. My transfer for taking the decision to charge-sheet the high and mighty involved in the fodder scam was a small price that I paid. A Press reporter asked me on my transfer to a nondescript post at an airport on my return from Interpol. I smiled and said with a mischievous smile, Wonderful, same salary and no work! I paid the price as a humble public servant in the interest of probity and ethics, in the interest of the country. The conviction and sentencing of Lalu Prasad and Rajya Sabha member Rasheed Masood, effectively leading to their disqualification from the House, is a good beginning.

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 8: Accusing BSP chief Mayawati of not allowing any Dalit leader to rise in Uttar Pradesh, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said there is a big opportunity for the Congress to create leadership space in the community, and it should ensure that Dalit leadership is created in all fields.
Noting that Dalit empowerment in India has taken place in stages, Mr. Gandhi said the first stage involved Dalit icon B.R. Ambedkar, who along with the Congress contributed in writing the Constitution and ensuring reservations for them. The second stage was of Kanshi Ram (late BSP chief), who used

Pallam Raju skips Union Cabinet meeting Paternity suit: Tiwari fails to
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 8: Union HRD Minister M.M. Pallam Raju, who has tendered his resignation over the Telangana issue, on Tuesday skipped the Union Cabinet meeting. Mr. Raju along with three other Union Ministers from the Seemandhra region had on Monday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, requesting him to accept their resignations, but got no assurance from the latter. The Minister has stayed away from his office ever since he stepped down last week. He had also skipped official engagements including a meet with the principals of autonomous colleges on Monday. His close aides were unsure as to whether he would attend a programme at Rashtrapati Bhawan on Wednesday, where the President would confer awards on Tamil scholars. The presence of Mr. Raju at the crucial Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) meeting in New Delhi on October 10 is also mired in uncertainty. CABE, the highest decision making body on education in the country, is chaired by the HRD Minister, with state education ministers, academicians and other experts as members. The meeting is expected to deliberate on a crucial report on the National Mission on Teachers and Teaching (NIMTT) and an update on the Mid-Day Meal programme. Sources said Mr. Rajus absence could hamper the meeting from arriving at any concrete proposals on these issues. Officials in the Ministry, however, did not rule out the possibility of one of the ministers of state Jitin Prasada and Shashi Tharoor chairing the meeting.

7 Chemical arms watchdog to send second team to Syria Higgs, Englert get Physics Nobel for God particle research
STUDENT AGE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 09, 2013
THE HAGUE, OCTOBER 8: The chief of the global chemical weapons watchdog said on Tuesday the organisation is sending a second team of inspectors to Syria to expand its high-stakes, high-risk mission to rid Syria of its poison gas stockpile. Ahmet Uzumcu, director-general of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, spoke to the groups 41-nation Executive Council at the start of a four-day meeting in The Hague. The organisations inspectors are in Syria to verify and destroy the countrys estimated 1,000 tons of chemical weapons, in the midst of a two-year civil war. Mr. Uzumcu called initial Syrian cooperation with the team last week providing more detail of the countrys chemical weapons and beginning to destroy them and facilities to produce them a constructive beginning for what will nonetheless be a long and difficult process, according to an OPCW statement. An advance team of 35 OPCW and U.N. staff originally travelled to Damascus last week. Some OPCW staff have already returned to the organisations headquarters to report on their talks with officials from President Bashar Assads regime in Damascus. Mr. Uzumcu said he will soon sign an
agreement between the OPCW and the United Nations to provide security and logistics to the inspection teams. In Damascus, ruling Baath party lawmaker Walid al-Zoubi said the chemical weapons have become a heavy burden on the state and are not a strategic defensive stock anymore and the country is ready to dispose of them. Our defensive strategic reserve is much stronger than the chemicals, Mr. al-Zoubi
told The Associated Press. For this reason, Syria now has to get rid of this chemical inventory. Mr. Uzumcu did not specify how many people would be in the second team, but in a letter to the U.N. Security Council obtained by The Associated Press, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recommended on Monday that approximately 100 UN and OPCW staff eventually make up the mission.
OCTOBER 8: The Nobel Prize for physics in 2013 has been awarded to Peter Higgs and Francois Englert, a Briton and a Belgian, "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider". Almost 50 years ago in 1964, Englert and Robert Brout, who died in 2011, and Peter Higgs independently published their work in the span of a few days. They had described a mechanism making use of what was known about particle physics at that time to try to answer a perplexing problem: How do particles acquire mass? Higgs and Englert hypothesised a quantum field, which is a distribution of some energy, throughout the universe. When the field is disturbed, waves travel through it. The dimmest possible wave is called a particle. In this field, since called a Higgs field, the associated particle is called the Higgs boson. For physicists, finding the Higgs boson meant that the Higgs field exists. And because of the Higgs field and its proper-
ties, any fundamental particles that wade through it cause Higgs bosons to clump around the particles. This clumping causes the particle to acquire energy and, therefore, mass. The existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider, near
Geneva, Switzerland, over the last year. On July 4, 2012, first hints of the boson's existence were spotted at the collider. Ever since, a series of tests on the particle have yielded confirmation, establishing Higgs's and Englert's work as a cornerstone of modern particle physics.
Kayani made interim chief of India pressuring China on Brahmaputra, says Chinese scholar Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee
ISLAMABAD, OCTOBER 8,: Pakistan Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Tuesday assumed additional charge as the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee until a replacement is made for the top post. Minister for Information and Broadcasting Pervaiz Rashid said appointments to the posts of Chief of Army Staff and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee will be made in accordance with the Constitutional framework. Responding to queries, Mr. Rashid said currently Chief of the Army Staff is holding the acting charge of the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) and this position will be filled within 30 days as per Constitutional requirement. Being the senior-most in Pakistan military, Gen. Kayani, 61, took the charge after Gen. Khalid Shameem Wynne retired on Monday. Hours before Gen. Wynne retired on Monday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the new CJCSC and Army chief would be chosen together after comprehensive considerations. Gen. Kayani has already announced that he would step down at the end of his term on November 29, 2013. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister had said on Monday, While expectation regarding announcement of the successor to the outgoing CJCSC before October 8 is reasonable, the issue needs a comprehensive consideration due to the fact that office of the COAS is also falling vacant soon. He did not elaborate. The Prime Minister has, therefore, decided to announce the names for both the appointments at the same time, he said. Mr. Sharif said his government is fully cognisant of its constitutional obligations and every decision will be made keeping the countrys interests supreme.
BEIJING, OCTOBER 8: Even as China goes ahead with the construction of four hydropower dams on the Brahmaputra, a Chinese scholar at an influential State-run think-tank has accused the Indian government of attempting to pressure China on the issue by seeking sympathy from the international community. Li Zhifei, a scholar at the National Institute of International Strategy of the influential Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, wrote in a commentary on Tuesday in the Global Times, a tabloid published by the Peoples Daily known for its hawkish views, that India was looking to put more pressure on China by exaggerating the facts and drawing attention from the international community, with the intention of preventing China from developing Tibetan water resources. He called on China to continue developing the upper and middle reaches of the Brahmaputra, or Yarlung Zangbo as it is known in Tibet. China, he said, should firmly resist such remarks and actions, and actively seek to address disputes through following the principles of peaceful negotiation and cooperation. He said Indias concerns on the matter voiced by senior officials at a number of recent toplevel dialogues were hypocritical because India was itself developing the river by building dams in Arunachal Pradesh. New Delhi has been critical of China in the upper stream by protesting against this imaginary enemy and trying to gain sympathy and support from the international community, but it has totally disregarded the interests of Bangladesh in the lower reaches through its own exploitative usage, he said. India plans to build reservoirs and canal systems on the Brahmaputra River with an intention to transfer surplus water to regions with water shortages. Furthermore, India has already set up dozens of hydropower stations in the socalled Arunachal Pradesh, attempting to reinforce its actual control and occupation of the disputed area, he added, referring to Chinas territorial
claims on Arunachal. While Mr. Li appeared to urge Beijing to carry on with its plans to develop the river regardless of any pressure from the international community, the Chinese government has, in any case, recently signalled that it intends to do so. Earlier this year, China gave the go-ahead for three new hydropower dams on the middle reaches, ending a twoyear halt in approving new projects. The projects were listed in an energy plan released in January, as first reported by The Hindu. China has already begun construction on one 510 MW dam in Zangmu, in Tibet. The issue of managing transboundary rivers is expected to
figure during Prime Minister Manmohan Singhs visit to China later this month. Both sides currently have in place an agreement on sharing hydrological data, which, officials say, allows India to monitor flows. The agreement was renewed during Chinese Premier Li Keqiangs visit to New Delhi in May. India is seeking a more robust joint mechanism for more transparency on Chinese plans on proposed projects, with hydropower groups here lobbying the government for dams on at least 28 sites, with only four projects, so far, given the green light. a draft budget presented in parliament showed on Monday.

Sensex gains 88.5 points after RBI eases liquidity Gold, silver surge on seasonal demand, firm global trend
MUMBAI, OCTOBER 8,: The Sensex on Tuesday jumped by 88.51 points to end at a nearly three-week high on good buying in rate-sensitive sectors like realty, banking and consumer durables after the RBI eased the cash availability situation ahead of the festive season.
