Singh remained the dominant issue for NC-Congress and PDP legislatures in both the houses during the entire session giving the clear impression that J&K assembly legislators were obsessed by the former Chief of army and therefore no serious business was discussed or decision arrived at so that the public is benefited. Therefore, it was a session to betray the public in a very camouflaged manner and gave priority to self acclaimed esteem.

SIACHIN SNOW MOBILES: WILL THEY ARRIVE ON TIME?

HINDSIGHT
ROHIT SINGH RANA As India is getting poked every now and then by Pakistan and China, it is the same story of grand leisurely attitude ---Sab chalta hai undermining element, in Indians resolve to defend its borders with guts and assertion. Himalayas are as neglected as they were in Nehrus time. Hardly has the political establishment and the Babus in Lutyens New Delhi understood the importance of Himalayas as a natural border and need to keep it as Indianised as possible. It is a hopelessly pathetic situation staring in the face in which the countrys political system, cutting across party lines is yet not finding a common ground to define what actually India is and why it is to be defended. In this haze, overhanging on the minds of the policy makers, it is but natural to remain lax in understanding the needs of the armed forces. This malaise is right there in Indias body politic from the halcyon days of Nehrus Panchsheel and continues till today in the running legacy of Sonia-Rahul 10 Janpath driven UPA. Today the armed forces are in effect short of vital fire power and strategic assets. This situation is worsening on two counts, first the slow pace of indigenising of crucial weaponry systems and secondly a very slow process of weapon acquisition from other countries. In this context the decision to purchase snow mobiles from other countries is a pointer to the lack of perspective planning and emphasis on the need based indigenous production of such crucial equipment. The then Defence Minister George Fernandes, on his visit to Siachin was asked by the army for snow mobiles so that they could move on snow, speedily from one place to another. He understood their importance and in a year the army was seen using them with good effect. George Ferndence made many visits to Siachin in order to understand the needs and challenges of our men manning the most treacherous border often called the Third Pole. Since 1999, no concerted effort was made to manufacture these snow mobiles locally. Their use was proved crucial in manning the snowy out posts in Siachin and had the policy planners exhibited vision they would have been already made in India, thinking that their use was crucial in view of the Chinese intrusions in Ladakh and Arunachal. The failure of government to locally produce Snow mobiles or understand their importance is symbol of a laid back, lackadaisical attitude of the government towards emerging threat perspectives and ways to counter it. Defence procurement has been plagued by scams and kickbacks since the dawn of Independence. Remember, the infamous Jeep scandal of 1948, the nation was yet beginning to open its eyes when the first defence scandal rocked the country. Since then it is a continuous tale of muddy deals, long delays and scams. Today the country is facing two aggressive neighbours , baying for our blood. Their ominous designs have to be met with a determined effort to respond with assertion and full force. Deterrence is the last word in this grimy game plan, let loose by our recalcitrant neighbours. Had we learnt the lessons of 1962 and 1965, we would have this time rest pretty assured regarding the nefarious designs of Islamabad and Beijing. But that is not happening. Imagine for the last thirty years India has failed to equip its Air Force with Medium Combat Aircraft. As now the deal with French has been finalised over the purchase of Rafael jet, still it is years away before e it is inducted. On the submarine front, our boats are depleting fast because of obsolescence. India has only 14 seaworthy submarines to take on the combined strength of 70 Chinese and Pakistani subs. The Scorpene submarine deal clinched a decade ago is yet to see fruition as the first of the six submarines will only be inducted in 2015. Indian army is woefully lacking fire power in the mountains to take on Chinese. The ultra light howitzers being purchased from USA are years away from induction. Unfortunately, with our politicians engaged over secular-communal debate and creation of vote banks along with 30 percent of them convicted, those who have the vision of Indias assertion are not heeded at all. Thus what we get in return, Pakistanis beheading our soldiers, Chinese intruding at will and Pak Navy killing our unarmed fishermen, that too in international waters.

We have to learn about Jammu Pride!

Years ago the tainted God man, Asaram visited Jammu. Science College was the venue of his sermons. Credulous, the people swarmed in thousands to listen and seek his blessings. Traffic came to a screeching halt. His long motorcade was greeted with flags and slogans. Compare this enthusiasm on national festivals. No such intense energy, festivity or high pitched slogans. Only customary flag hoisting ceremonies with a Kuch to Karna hi hai attitude, scant crowd and some politically alive enthusiasts arrive at the scene. After an hour, it is normal as if nothing soul stirring is found on such days. Asaram is different. Politicians made beelines, bureaucrats knelt at the feet. A coterie of politico- bureaucratic nature made and Asaram at the helm ironing out differences and striking deals between them. In the bargain Jammuites loose a vast chunk of land to the God man plus lot of adrenaline due to high decibel sloganeering in his favour. Today his Jammu Ashram is feared to have bodies of children buried in its precincts. Once his choice disciple, Bola Nath is helping Jammu Police to locate those dead bodies. Is it not high time for the Jammuites to focus their energies to better causes than to fall willing victims to fake, saints and conmen. Instead how better it would have been to learn about their traditions and culture. Very few in Jammu know that thousands of priceless manuscripts are lying in Raghunath Temple library. Almost nobody now knows about Bhasoali School of paintings. Sadly their address is Asaram and many other sham saints. With this attitude will they ever close their ranks and fight for the just and genuine rights of Jammus pride. RANASAHIB

CONTD
After the 2006 tragedy, the state government had constructed a bridge over the river but the mishap took place on it allegedly due to poor mismanagement of the crowd that gathered in large numbers from the nearby districts and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. Accusing the state government of "misgoverning" which led to the stampede, opposition Congress demanded that the chief minister step down. In Delhi, party spokesperson Ajay Maken said the tragedy was "man-made" which could have been stopped. Shiller from Yale University. There is no way to predict the price of stocks and bonds over the next few days or weeks. But it is quite possible to foresee the broad course of these prices over longer periods, such as the next three to five years. These findings were made and analyzed by this year's laureates, the Academy said. The behaviour of asset prices is essential for many important decisions, not only for professional investors but also for most people in their daily life. The choice on how to save - in the form of cash, bank deposits or stocks, or perhaps a single-family house - depends on what one thinks of the risks and returns associated with these different forms of saving. Asset prices are also of fundamental importance for the macro economy, as they provide crucial information for key economic decisions regarding consumption and investments in physical capital, such as buildings and machinery. While asset prices often seem to reflect fundamental values quite well, history provides striking examples to the contrary, in events commonly labelled as bubbles and crashes. Mispricing of assets may contribute to financial crises and, as the recent global recession illustrates, such crises can damage the overall economy. Today, the field of empirical asset pricing is one of the largest and most active subfields in economics. Professor Shilling said after getting "it is complete disbelief. Economics is a fascinating and important field. The prize finance is a theory that has many controversial elements and body of knowledge use of which will help improve human welfare." He added "Finance drives modern civilization. Our best activities have to be financed. I want to see finance develop further to serve human kind. That reflected mistakes and imperfections in our financial system that we are working on correction. It will take decades. We have gone through financial crisis many times in history and have generally learnt from them". It was actually Eugene Fama who started looking at asset prices in the 1960s and demonstrated that stock prices are extremely difficult to predict in the short run, and that new information is very quickly incorporated into prices. These findings changed market practice. The emergence of so-called index funds in stock markets all over the world is a prominent example. If prices are nearly impossible to predict over days or weeks, then shouldn't they be even harder to predict over several years? The answer is no, as Robert Shiller discovered in the early 1980s. He found that stock prices fluctuate much more than corporate dividends, and that the ratio of prices to dividends tends to fall when it is high, and to increase when it is low. This pattern holds not only for stocks, but also for bonds and other assets, the Academy said. One approach interprets these findings in terms of the response by rational investors to uncertainty in prices. High future returns are then viewed as compensation for holding risky assets during unusually risky times. Lars Peter Hansen developed a statistical method that is particularly well suited to testing rational theories of asset pricing. Using this method, Hansen found that modifications of these theories go a long way toward explaining asset prices. Another approach focuses on departures from rational investor behaviour. So-called behavioural finance takes into account institutional restrictions, such as borrowing limits, which prevent smart investors from trading against any mispricing in the market. The Laureates have laid the foundation for the current understanding of asset prices. It relies in part on fluctuations in risk and risk attitudes, and in part on behavioural biases and market frictions.

CONTINUATION
Governor, CM...
for expediting all the required measures to facilitate construction of building for Maize Research Sub-Station at Sansoo, in Udhampur district in a time bound manner. While reviewing the headway made towards establishing Krishi Vigyan Kendras in Samba, Udhampur and Ramban districts, the Governor asked the Vice Chancellor to pursue the matter with the concerned authorities for expediting possession of the land for the establishment of the KVKs, describing these as nerve centres for transfer of agricultural technologies to the farmers to progressively enhance agri-productivity and production in the State on a sustained basis. The Chief Minister stressed that the progressive farmers with notable success stories need to be involved in a big way in enlarging awareness among the farmers who have been benefited with the various technological and scientific interventions made by the Agricultural Universities and the extension agencies of the Government which have culminated into these success stories so that other farmers could also benefit from their experiences. Regarding the revision of Statutes of the State Agricultural Universities, the Chief Minister asked both the Vice Chancellors to jointly revisit the Statutes and list out the amendments, wherever, required to be made. The Council approved the establishment of the School of Genomics, Molecular Biology and Microbiology at the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Jammu, on self-sustainable basis.

Chowdhary told the court that Bhola Nath was ready to guide police to the burial site of the children at the ashram near Bhagwati Nagar here. But Chowdhary said the caretaker wanted the authorities to protect him. Asaram Bapu was arrested in Indore in Madhya Pradesh last month. He is now in a Rajasthan prison after a 16-year-old girl accused him of sexually assaulting her at his ashram near Jodhpur.

Yaseer Arafat...
of cancer leading to death in just days. To investigate whether Arafat who led the Palestine Liberation Organization for 35 years and became the first president of the Palestinian Authority in 1996 died of polonium ingestion, the scientists focused their radio-toxicological analyzes on visible body fluid stains from specific belongings - underwear, toothbrush, hospital cap and sportswear. A thorough analysis was carried out on 75 different samples, 38 of them taken from Arafat's belongings. The case report says "The remaining 37 samples were references, which were not artificially contaminated with 21Po (polonium). These included cotton items that had been kept for 10 years and protected from dust and products of radon decay in an attic". The report then said about the findings "Several samples containing body fluid stains (blood and urine) contained higher unexplained 21Po activities than the reference samples. These findings support the possibility of Arafat's poisoning with 21Po. According to biokinetic modelling, the measured activities of 21Po of samples are compatible with a lethal ingestion in 2004. Moreover, his clinical presentation could not rule out 21Po poisoning". Arafat died in Percy Hospital, France on November 11, 2004 at the age of 75. Doctors were unable to specify the cause of death as no autopsy was carried out in line with his widow's request. Arafat's medical records said he had a stroke resulting from a blood disorder. Radio analysis was undertaken by the Institute of Radiation Physics and medical analyses by the University Centre of Legal Medicine team. Professor Gerard Waeber from the department of internal medicine, Lausanne University Hospital investigated the medical records of Arafat. The scientists who published their findings on October 12 said at the time of publication, the remains of Yasser Arafat have been exhumed and are being investigated for cause of death. He presented with a medical history that began in Ramallah on Oct 12, 2004, with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea. Shortly after, his general health deteriorated with continuing gastrointestinal symptoms, thrombocytopenia, apyrexia, but the absence of inflammation. According to the case report available, "On Oct 29, he was admitted to Percy Hospital. He had diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and generalized abdominal pain with mild liver and kidney failure that was associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome. His condition worsened, with acute renal failure, aggravation of a cholestatic jaundice and neurological coma. He was transferred to the intensive care unit, where he died of a cerebral haemorrhage. Despite numerous toxicological and clinical investigations, the cause of his illness remained unknown". "There was no evidence of infectious, vascular, or cancerous disease and the treatment had been symptomatic only. Poisoning was considered but never confirmed by toxicological analyses. After the death of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, 21Polonium poisoning was considered as a possible cause of Arafat's death. Although the absence of myelosuppression and hair loss does not favour acute radiation syndrome, symptoms of nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhoea, and anorexia, followed by hepatic and renal failures, might suggest radioactive poisoning". The report added that from a medico-legal perspective, this hypothesis is justified given the absence of a characterised cause of illness and the absence of toxicological evidence, including radiations, as well as the dearth of scientific literature in this topic.

Recently concluded ...

press conference at party headquarters on Monday. Ashok Khajuria clarified that he himself had moved resolutions to adopt the resolution passed by the Indian Parliament condemning the Pakistani assembly's resolutions and the resolutions on West Pakistan and PoK refugees but those were not entertained. He said that not only this, the adjournment motions and various important questions seeking replies from the concerned ministries were also ignored. It appeared that the ruling government followed some concealed directives to side track the genuine proceedings and so brought in the issue of General V.K. Singh and kept it alive for the whole session as a result of which no proper business was conducted. Jugal Kishore Sharma also alleged that the session was an eyewash and no genuine business concerns were highlighted nor the questions earlier registered were allowed to be raised, so and so that the bills and resolutions also were not taken seriously. Citing his own bill to include Hindi as official language along with Urdu in the state and plight of the reserved categories, were totally rejected. The resolutions on making provision of at least 12 gas cylinders and holding delimitation were also not entertained. Sharma maintained that this session should have been named as "Session on Gen. V.K. Singh" rather than customary session to discuss public issues. Sham Choudhary claimed that he wanted to draw attention on the bills, resolutions and questions regarding the border areas and rural population which also met the same fate.

Army to buy ...

for Proposal (RFP) tender for procurement of 20 snow mobiles for the Army units deployed in Northern Command theatre in J&K. The bids are invited from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of Defence Procurement Manual 2009 or Permanent Registered Authorised Distributors of OEM, a senior officer of Engineers' Branch at Northern Command Headquarter, said. Snow mobiles are used as modes of transportation for men and material in glaciated and snowbound areas (Siachen-Kargil heights of Ladakh region) of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. The latest all-featured snow mobiles are being purchased for their use in border patrolling and for mobility of troops along the Indo-Pak border in Siachen-Kargil sector of Ladakh Region, he said. The specification of the snow mobiles have been put as 4 stroke, 973 cc petrol engine with power backup and 4 ventilated disc brakes. Army had procured 20 snow mobiles in 2008 after 30 snow mobiles, which were inducted into Kargil-Siachen sector soon after Kargil war to give better mobility to the troops patrolling the Indo-Pak border, had almost completed their effective utility period. Army said that snow mobiles should have operational characteristics including snow & high altitude terrain operations, with operationalibility of minimum 4500 metres altitude in operating temperature of Plus 10 degree Celsius to Minus 40 degree Celsius.

targeted forward posts along LoC in Poonch district with mortar shelling and automatic weapons. The Indian troops had strongly retaliated to the firing which lasted for a long time. In 2013, Pakistan army has violated ceasefire almost 130 times along the LoC in Jammu Kashmir which is highest in the past 8 years. Last month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in US to restore peace between the two nations. Repeated ceasefire violation by the Pakistan troops was one of the prominent discussions between the two.

to sabotage their campaign for the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya. Reacting to report in ToI about a meeting convened by the UP government to discuss VHP's push for a central legislation for building the Ram temple, VHP leader Ashok Singhal said that the UP government was planning to foil the Sankalp Diwas, which the outfit had decided to observe Valmiki Jayanti on October 18 to take a fresh vow for the construction of Ram temple. This is part of SP's plan for the "Islamization" of the politics of UP, Singhal alleged, according to a press release issued by the VHP.

We wanted Johnson to intimidate Indian batsmen: Bailey BCCI set to grant Sachin Tendulkar's wish
PUNE: Australia captain George Bailey said that Mitchell Johnson was assigned a specific role to "intimidate" Indian batsmen with raw pace and the leftarm speedster did a "fantastic" job. "Mitch --- we wanted him to go out there and bowl fast, intimidate batsmen and take wickets. I think he did that. He's going to be important for us to have him firing, the energy he brings in. He led us from the front which is good." Bailey was especially pleased that his fast bowlers performed as a unit. "Clint (McKay) and Mitchell (Johnson) started fantastically well and made it really hard for the Indian boys to score. Mitch was fast. Jimmy (James Faulkner) got targeted a bit early but fought back very well. It was a fantastic all-round bowling performance, which we need to have in the series as the Indian batting is so strong," Bailey said. nership for us and probably during what was the most dangerous part for us when the Indians can swing the ball," Bailey explained. "What is good about Finch is that he has been doing it consistently. When someone is having a partnership with him, the game flows along nicely, just because he's always putting pressure back onto the bowlers. Bailey feels that a contribution from most of the players is a good sign as they started the one day series on a good note. "The most important thing is the contribution from so many people. We did not rely on someone getting six wickets or getting a big hundred. A lot of them will feel they had a good game tonight which is great." Asked about Brad Haddin's freak eye injury that required him to leave the field for medical attention, the skipper didn't forget to do a bit of legpulling off his senior glovesman. MUMBAI: Sachin Tendulkar's wish to play his 200th and final Test on his home ground is all set to be granted when the BCCI's Programmes and Fixtures committee meets on Tuesday to chalk out the detailed schedule of next month's West Indies tour. The committee, headed by Rajiv Shukla, will finalise the schedule of the hastilyarranged series comprising two Tests and three one-dayers. While doing so, the committee will also grant Tendulkar's wish to play his last Test at the venue where he made his debut in first class cricket -- the Wankhede Stadium. The Mumbai Cricket Association president Ravi Savant has already stated that the BCCI has agreed to allot Tendulkar's farewell Test to

Shreyas Iyer to lead Mumbai in under-19 Vinoo Mankad trophy
MUMBAI: Mumbai junior selectors on Monday picked up three batsmen, who have done well for the national colts team, in the squad for Vinoo Mankad under-19 trophy (west zone) to be held at Rajkot from October 15-20. Shreyas Iyer was named as the skipper, while Akhil Herwadkar will be his deputy and Sarfaraz Khan, a prolific scorer in Mumbai junior cricket, is also included in the squad, according to Mumbai Cricket Association. Squad: Shreyas Iyer (Capt.), Akhil Herwadkar (viceCapt.), Sarfaraz Khan, Jay Bista, Vaidik Murkar, Adeeb Usmani, Prasad Pawar, Khizar Dafedar, Atul Singh, Tushar Deshpande, Ibrahim Kazi, Dhrumil Matkar, Amit Kadam, Nishant Williams and Ramanpreet Singh.

The Aussie skipper elaborated the individual strengths of McKay and Faulkner. "Clint probably is not going to intimidate batsmen as much but he's pretty accurate, swings the ball, so length is going to be pretty important to him. James is a little bit different does a bit of both. He finds ways to keep himself in the game and also takes wickets." He also praised the batting of opener Aaron Finch who completed his second succes-

sive half century having started off on a blazing note during the one-off T20 game at Rajkot. "I don't think anyone likes facing someone bowling really fast. I think they (Indians) swung the ball nicely up front. Finch batted so well he first got 2 out of 20 balls which is unlike him, but he found a way to get through that (phase) and did not throw it away which is great for us. "That was a nice little part-

The first Test is likely to be played in Kolkata, while the venues for the three subsequent ODIs will be decided on Tuesday. The BCCI is also planning a

grand farewell for Tendulkar. The board had squeezed in the home series against the West Indies to give Tendulkar an opportunity to retire in front of his home fans. Tendulkar last week announced his decision to retire from Test cricket after playing his landmark match, bringing an end to the intense speculation about his future.

Maverick Balotelli tired of being in 'eye of cyclone'

ARMENIA: Mario Balotelli is tired of being in the eye of a hurricane, the president of the Italian soccer federation ( FIGC) said on Monday after the maverick international became embroiled in another row. "It's a demanding period for Mario and we have to understand the media pressure on him is excessive," Giancarlo Abete told RAI radio, a day after the AC Milan forward allegedly pushed away a television camera during a media scrum at Naples railway station. "He can't take one step, or write one word, without it being interpreted in any number of different ways. He's a bit tired of always being in the eye of the cyclone. "He's a 23-year-old lad who needs to grow and improve but the pressure on him is too great." There were chaotic scenes as Italy arrived in Naples by highspeed train on Sunday evening for their World Cup qualifier at home to Armenia on Tuesday. The squad were greeted by a media scramble at the station and Balotelli, who has a habit of getting involved in controversial incidents, appeared to push away a TV camera after it apparently clipped him on the arm as he walked by. The striker, who missed Friday's 2-2 draw in Denmark due to illness, is serving a threematch domestic ban after insulting the referee at the end of the 2-1 home defeat by Napoli. Italy have already qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Walker wins on PGA Tour and gets trip to Masters

Liverpool prepared to sell Suarez in January transfer window

SAN MARTIN: Jimmy Walker finally won on the PGA Tour in his eighth year and 188th tournament, and with a little help from Brooks Koepka. Tied for the lead with four holes to play Sunday, Walker rolled in a 6-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole to take the lead for good in the Frys.com Open. Three closing pars for a 5-under 66 turned out to be more than enough for the 34year-old Texan to take home a trophy and plenty of perks. Walker is going to the Masters for the first time, along with a trip to Maui for the Tournament of Championship. He also cracked the top 50 for the first time in his career. "I think it will sink in after a while," Walker said. "Relief right now. It feels really good. I'm pretty excited." It was a sinking feeling for Koepka, whose journey around the world in a remarkable year nearly ended with a PGA Tour card. Koepka had a four-shot lead

with 11 holes to play, and the 23-year-old Floridian looked as poised and confident as he had all week at CordeValle. There was a tiny crack when he missed a 3-foot par putt on the ninth hole, and it really caught up with him at the end. Koepka missed a 6-foot putt on the 15th that would have matched birdies with Walker, who was playing in the group ahead of him. Koepka then missed his tee shot wildly to the left on the 16th hole and had to scramble for bogey. Down to his last shot, he hit into the water on the 297-yard, par4 17th for another bogey. "Things weren't going my way," Koepka said. "I didn't make the shots I needed to win. Congrats to Jimmy on that. I'll try to learn from the whole experience." Vijay Singh closed with a 68 and wound up with the 27th runner-up finish of his Hall of Fame career, and his best result since he sued the PGA Tour in May over its handling of the investigation into Singh admitting he used deer antler spray.

LONDON: Premier League club Liverpool is ready to sell striker Luis Suarez in January's transfer window, as the Uruguayan has confided in friends that he remains determined to quit the Reds and join a club that will challenge for major honours. According to the Mirror, Suarez, who recently returned from a ten-match ban after biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, is determined to test Liverpool's resolve to keep him when the transfer window re-opens for business in January. Ideally, he wants move to a Champions League club and as well as being one of world football's greatest marksmen

he will also not be cup tied from playing in Europe this season, the report said. Arsenal will almost certainly return to lodge a bid, which could reach the 50 million pound mark, but it's understood that Suarez will reject a move to The Emirates if Spanish giants Real Madridenter the race to sign him, the report added. Liverpool is already looking around for a replacement in the event of Suarez leaving, the report further said. Although their wish is to keep Suarez at Liverpool, they are now facing a losing battle to retain the loyalty of a player desperate to escape, according to the report.

ABU DHABI (UAE): South Africa's Hashim Amla scored a fighting century but Pakistan still restricted the No. 1-ranked Test team to 245-8 on the opening day of the first cricket Test. Amla hit 13 fours in his unbeaten 118 off 250 balls as South Africa's top order collapsed against pace and the lower middle-order fell to spinners. Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar (3-89), making his

debut at the age of 34, bowled 17 wicketless overs before claiming three wickets in the last session. The 7-foot-1-inch left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Irfan (2-42) had struck with the new ball and reduced South Africa to 43-3 after captain Graeme Smith won the toss and elected to bat. Amla rescued the Proteas by adding 95 runs for the fifth wicket with JP Duminy (57) before Babar struck in the last session.

Aussies to keep injuries secret for Ashes: Report

SYDNEY: Australia will protect information about player injuries so as not to cede any competitive advantage to England in the coming Ashes series, a report said on Monday. Officials will not divulge the nature of any injuries suffered unless the player is ruled out of a Test match, according to Cricket Australia's general manager of team performance Pat Howard. With the first Test getting underway at Brisbane's Gabba on November 21, Michael Clarke's side already has players unavailable through injury -- fast bowlers Mitchell Starc,James Pattinson and Jackson Bird, while the skipper has chronic back trouble. But after losing the JulyAugust Ashes series 3-0 in England, Australian officials are changing their approach, starting with the state of the team's injuries. "If a player suffers an injury that rules him out of the match, we'll tell you," Howard told the Sydney Morning Herald. "But if it doesn't rule him out... we've got a chance to get a player up in a day or 36 hours to play. If he can play the Test match, and keep playing but he's got a minor calf injury, really should we be telling you that? "Every sportsman has got a little niggle. In a Test match, a player can play in 24 hours' time. We can turn injuries around in 24 to 48 hours... it's not like some of the other sports." The fact that players' fitness problems can be turned around so quickly in a fiveday match with the help of the team's medical staff has convinced Australian management that the less they say the better, the newspaper said. Howard's stance was endorsed by Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland when it was announced at a briefing with senior CA officials in Sydney, it said. "I don't think we should be giving up competitive advantage in the middle of the game," Sutherland said. After series losses in India and England -- Australia have won only one of their 10 Tests this year and that was in January against Sri Lanka in Sydney -- it appears any edge they can manage over the old enemy is being seized.

PCB to request ICC to allow Aamer resume domestic cricket

KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is all set to push the case of banned pacer Mohammad Aamer to at least allow him to resume domestic cricket when the International Cricket Council (ICC) executive board meets in London from October 17 to 19. A source in the board said on Monday that the PCB was hopeful that it would be able to convince the ICC to allow the young left-armer to resume training at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore under the supervision of the national coaches.

Prime Minister Singh is singing the secular front tune because he sees his party in deep trouble in the days ahead. By extending publicly-funded programmes exclusively (by implication) to only Muslims under the garb of minority justice, he knows that his partys large majority is upset. More important, Mr Singh sees the Muslim community not buying wholesale the painting of the BJP as a threat to it, as is reported by many newspapers in their despatches from various urban and rural centres where BJPs prime ministerial candidate Narendra modi is leading the partys campaign rallies. Never mind what the word secular really means. If for him and Mr Karat, secular is being anti-BJP, for Mr Naidu, the word carries a different meaning, as his talks with Mr Modi, indicate. The same is the standing of AIADMK leader and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. In fact, at the ground level, several non-Congress Chief Ministers, who lead their parties too, find the Congress a greater national disaster than any other. Dictated by rational considerations, they would rather have an antiCongress alliance in a situation where the all-round perception is that the Congress with its peculiar diarchy, has led the country to a disaster both economic and political. The IMF is the latest international body to say that Indias growth rate is worse than that of sub-Saharan African countries. Its even worse than Pakistans. and Pakistans economy is in a terrible mess. The countrys neighbour, whether Pakistan, the Maldives or Sri Lanka, are all taking pot-shots at India, because they are aware that there is a political vacuum in the country as result of a weak Government in New Delhi. Thus, a majority of the opposition parties within the country see Mr Singhs secular song as a ploy to break the growing united national conviction that the first task in India at present is to get the Congress out of power from wherever it exists.

EDITORIAL
FANTASTIC RECOGNITION
Those who had expected Malala Yousafzai to get the Nobel Prize for Peace this year, will be sorely disappointed that she has lost out to the weapons watchdog, Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The school girl from the Swat region in Pakistan, who miraculously survived an attack by the Taliban last year, has come to symbolise the growing aspiration of women to be empowered through education. The Taliban wanted to eliminate her and they are still determined to do so because she had raised her voice in favour of education for girls, which the Taliban found un-Islamic'. Far from being silenced, Malala has since then amplified her demand, which is reverberating across the globe. She has also expressed her commitment to enter politics in her country, and hopes to some day be the Prime Minister. Regardless of the Nobel miss, she will continue to battle for education, and some day perhaps she will get the world's most prestigious award. Meanwhile, all eyes are focussed on the winner. But what is the OPCW going to do to justify the high recognition? It has, to begin with, an awesome task at hand to get rid of chemical weapons in Syria. If it fails to do so, questions will be asked on the purpose served in giving it the Nobel award. It cannot be forgotten that the prize has been timed with its efforts to persuade the Syrian regime to destroy the large arsenal of chemical weapons the latter has accumulated over the years and, according to many observers, used on its civilian population some weeks ago. The international outrage which flowed after reports that nearly 1,400 persons died in the nerve gas attack, pushed the OPCW in the limelight. The Nobel jury has rarely won acclaim for its decisions on the peace award. Last year it gave the prize to the European Union for no justifiable reason. It even failed to recognise the open infighting within the Union and the endangered economies of some of the EU members. Earlier, it had honoured US President Barack Obama for an achievement that many believed did not exist. At best, the Nobel jury had judged the matter prematurely, in the hope that some day Mr Obama will live up its expectation! For the OPCW to maintain credibility, it has to work not just on Syria but on those other countries that possess chemical arsenal. According to an investigation by CNN, both the United States and Russia are sitting pretty on chemical weapon stockpiles. Even the Nobel committee, while announcing the award, noted: Certain states have not observed the deadline for destroying their chemical weapons. This applies especially to the US and Russia. The US estimates that it will take at least 10 years to destroy its remaining 10 per cent of chemical weapons of 3,100 tonnes. The OPCW says Russia has a stockpile of five times that amount yet to be destroyed. By contrast, Syria, according to estimates, has 1,000 tonnes stored all over the country. While both the US and Russia are justified in demanding an end to the chemical weapons regime in Syria, they ought to also look within and take steps that set a credible example. Neither the US nor Russia, CNN has pointed out, has adhered to the earlier deadlines to completely destroy their chemical reserves.

CHASING A MIRAGE AND HOPING THAT ITS REAL

Balbir Punj
There is scheduled for later this month a meeting of Front for Secularism against Communalism, that the Left has sponsored. This happens in the background of Prime Minister Manmohan Singhs call for a coming together of all secular parties. As many of those invited for the Left-sponsored meeting are basically anti-Congress, it is difficult to ascertain whether the secular meetings are two or one. It is not even clear who will be attending which front and who is with the Congress but against the Left, or vice versa. An account given of the Left-sponsored meeting exposes the huge contradictions within all the parties that see themselves as secular. The three political stars given high billing for the Left-sponsored meeting are Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar, and Odisha Chief Minister and BJD chief Naveen Patnaik. Mr Yadav has ambitions to lead the set-inthe-cloud Third Front as a prospective Prime Minister. But Mr Nitish Kumar is said to have a different agenda by supporting the Congress and getting his pound of flesh if that party comes to power post-2014 election. As for Mr Patnaik, he has little to gain from the front as the Left is just a marginal player in his state and he would be awaiting deals that would maximise his share of power in the emerging post-poll scenario. There are other bit players in the Left-sponsored move who could well be jokers rather than king-makers. That all of them are looking for playing the kingmakers role itself exposes their ambition as a fantasy. If all of them do play that role, the so- called Third Front would become a bugbear of

The so-called Third Front is just a chimera in terms of existence. Worse, it is not clear which parties will constitute the front even when it comes into being, and who will lead the combine
confusion. Recall the so-called secular front that was formed in the post- poll 1996 scenario merely to keep the BJP out; the party had emerged as the largest entity but without a majority. Prime Ministers were changed every year in two years. Before that also, there were two similar experiments in 1979 and 1990, with the secular Prime Ministers lasting not even a full year. The secular Third Front has become a big joke of Indian politics. If you still not have not had enough of this joke, look at some of these bit players wranglings even within, on who is secular and who is not enough of it to qualify for CPI(M) leader Prakash Karats plate. A report about this meeting says that the Left is unable to decide whether to call the JD(S) in. The big boss of the JD(S), former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, wants to be counted among the secular bunch. He has blamed his son and former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy for the alliance the party had with the BJP in Karnataka. But Mr Kumaraswamy, who runs the party for all practical purposes, has let it be known that he remains committed to secularism and will attend the convention that Mr Karat has called. The confusion within the secularists gets deeper as we go further along the invitee line. Is the Telugu Desam Party in or out? The TDP seems to be waiting and watching. Mr Chandrababu Naidu is well aware that Mr Karat is playing it both ways. The Left wants to get back on the Congress bandwagon while also sponsoring the Third Front. Mr Naidu, therefore, did some plain talking with Mr Karat, asking him why the Left is also hoping to hang on to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, as it did during 20042008. Of course, Mr Karat wants to keep his options open and, therefore, Mr Naidu is reported to have told Mr Karat as reported in The Economic Times: "If you can keep your options open, why cant I keep my options (of aligning with the BJP to fight my main rival Congress) open? The others have thus seen through Mr Karats game. His party is no longer as powerful as it was in 2004. Both West Bengal and Kerala have voted out theLeft Governments. The 2009 general election reduced the entire Left to a mere 35 seats against the over 60 it had which Mr Karat had used to twist and turn Mr Manmohan Singh.To assure itself of a second coming in politics, the Left Front needs to get back to somewhere close to that number in 2014. The crucial state for it is West Bengal where, to counter the Trinamool Congress, it needs to get close to the Congress and also prevent a CongressTrinamool tie-up. For Mr Naidu, the real enemy is the Congress. For Mr Karat, the looming threat is from the Est Bengal Chief Minister.

EVIL HAS FLOURISHED FOR TOO LONG

Pinky Anand
It is the very last two per cent of Indians that entertain any tolerance for having criminals hold Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and State Legislative Assembly seats in India, according to a national survey by global online campaign network Avaaz.org. But the Congress-led UPA Government seems incapable of sensing these sentiments. As of August 2013, out of a total of 4,807 sitting Members of Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies, 30 per cent had declared criminal cases against themselves and that includes 14 per cent with serious criminal cases according to data with the Election Commission of India since 2004. It was made publicly available by the poll panel recently. Ordinary citizens expect convicts to be behind bars, but convicts are governing the citizens in India. Yet, when the Supreme Court tried to remedy the situation on July 10 by striking down Section 8(4) of the Representation of the People Act as ultra vires, with the effect that conviction will put in motion disqualification of a politician from contesting elections or holding office, the UPA was up in arms. The BJP had deemed as unconstitutional and immoral an amendment Bill which the Government had brought before Parliament. Because of the BJPs objection, the Government had to refer the Bill to the Standing Committee for an open debate. action that compelled the UPA to bring an ordinance. The answer was obvious. The ordinance was being rushed through with great haste to have it in place before the impending conviction of Lalu Prasad and

THE ECONOMY ISNT CRICKET

Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan may or may not be a cricket fan, but he appears to be inspired enough to have drawn an analogy between the game and the country's economy at a think-tank event in Washington recently. It's not clear whether the comparison hit the right chord in a country that does not play cricket, though its people may well have heard of Sachin Tendulkar. Nevertheless, Mr Rajan believes that Indians are mercurial in their opinion on both. Fans shower our cricket players with adulation when the team is doing well and heap abuse when they hit a bad patch. And the same is true of the economy, the Governor points out. He is right about the reactions, but wrong in everything else. Cricket is a game, economy is not. If the best of players fail at times, it's to do with their form, which is temporary. But the economy fails because of mismanagement by the Government, and, unlike players, it rarely bounces back in a month or two. The slump in economic growth that the country is going through did not begin yesterday, nor will it end tomorrow. It is the result of sustained policy paralysis on the part of the Congress-led UPA Government, and of decisions that were either wrong or taken at the wrong time. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Union Minister for Finance is a swashbuckling Virender Sehwag or a dynamic Gautam Gambhir two players Mr Rajan named by way of examples and who are battling for form and to retain their place in the Indian team. Mr Rajan said the people elevate cricketers to the status of god, disregarding the weaknesses that actually exist. That may be so, but what's the point he is making? Hes saying: You, the people, praised the economy sky-high one day, and now you are cribbing. How unfair! Is it? The people have a right to be upset and angry when they are made to pay for the callous indecisiveness of their elected representatives, just as they have a right to be furious when cricketers, whom they have given such love and affection, flounder repeatedly. Mr Rajan must remember that public anger did not flood the media when things began to go wrong; it came about after policymakers in the Government failed, again and again, to stem the damage over the years. As regards glossing over weaknesses when the going is good, surely that is something which the Government, and not the people, must answer for. In his words, the go-go years were between 2002 and 2012 when growth averaged eight per cent. Actually, the period virtually ended in 2011, when the fault lines began to emerge in dangerous proportions. The weaknesses' which he talks about were becoming evident by then. They ought to have been fixed when the going was good and when harsh measures would not have sounded that harsh. But the Congress-led UPA Government did not. Mr Rajan is a distinguished economist and he knows the truth.

A clean election process that bars people with criminal charges against them from contesting, is important to ensure good governance. Elections are not only about who wins and loses, but also about the quality of governance that the people get
Subsequently, the UPA regime crafted an ordinance that allowed a convicted MP or MLA to continue to be a lawmaker but not draw a salary or vote in the process of lawmaking. The ordinance also allowed for the lawmakers disqualification to be deferred until the legal battle was fully exhausted. What was the pressing urgency for the UPA regime to adopt the ordinance route? Procedurally, it is improper to bring an ordinance in a matter which is already pending before a parliamentary Standing Committee. Ipse dixit, there cannot be a pressing urgency or need for immediate Rasheed Masood. The seeds of major change are sometimes laid in historical events. One such event was the use of musclemen to fight elections. Perhaps, as the Congresss complete dominance over elections since 1950 began to erode, the tactics that were brought into use in the late 1970s were to intimidate voters, capture booths, stuff ballot-boxes, and indulge in related activities. There was violence during elections. Money-power entered the domain of elections and politics at that point. The Government did try to curb the misuse of money in elections and it passed a legislation to cap the amount of money a candidate could spend. However the Supreme Courts ruling, declaring an election null and void if the winner was found to have spent more than the prescribed amount on campaigning, was overturned by a new law which provided that money spent on behalf of the candidate by a political party and by friends and well-wishers, would not count towards the expenses the candidate had incurred. Governance has been a matter of great concern lately. The Supreme Court judgement in Lily Thomas, the amendment to the Representation of the People Act and the verdict in bringing about the none of the above option for Indian voters for the first time in the countrys political history, are at the vortex of a whirlpool of change in Indias political landscape. Based on averages analysed from the ECs public data, which former chief Election Commissioner of India, N Gopalaswami and IIM-Bangalore professor Trilochan Sastry, shared on September 12 in Delhi, every candidate contesting the election has more than one in five serious cases against him. Serious charges may be defined as those for which (i) the sentence is two years or more on conviction, (ii) a court issues a non-bailable warrant, (iii) any crime against women is alleged, or (iv) any election-related criminal charge. An analysis of 60,000 records since the UPA came to power in 2004 shows that while only 12 per cent of clean candidates without any taint win, around 23 per cent of tainted candidates are winners. A similar 23 per cent of seriously tainted candidates also

CLEAN THE MESS IN JAMMU

Dear Editor, By posting new municipal commissioner in Jammu city, the government has taken a right step by posting a dedicated officer who actually believes in practical results on the ground. The city of temples has been deplorable condition as everywhere garbage, stray animals ,dogs, areas in darkness, encroachment etc can be seen. In many areas it was difficult during rainy season to walk after 7pm as the areas were seen totally in darkness without street lights or defunct street lights and lot of poisonous snakes and insects roaming freely in darkness. However, the new commissioner Kiran Wattal has mobilised his men and machinery too fast and results are coming out. However, some areas still need urgent attention, for instance Jain Bazar, Jullaka Mohalla, Pacca Danga etc as these areas need urgent attention in all spheres like lighting, cleanliness of lanes and drains, stray dogs etc. Every year lakhs of tourists visit this city of temples enroute to Mata Vaishno Devi cave, Shri Amarnath ji and other places of national heritage. It becomes an urgent necessity to keep city of temples neat and clean so that pilgrims and tourists who visit this place should not say that Jammu is the foot mat of J&K state. Yours faithfully, Kaushal Kotwal,, Jammu.

Expedite artificial lake project

Dear Editor, The Government of Jammu and Kashmir is in the process of constructing an artificial lake on Tawi river at Bhagwati Nagar in Jammu with an object to give a new look to the winter capital, promote tourism and provide water supply to dry areas of the city. The Government has now set December, 2013 as new deadline for the completion of this prestigious project. Minister for PHE, Irrigation & Flood Control Sham Lal Sharma who reviewed the pace of work on the project recently, was informed by the engineering staff that about 85 percent civil and 65 percent mechanical work had been completed till date. The Tawi barrage project is likely to be accomplished within the revised scheduled time. The minister said that this artificial lake is a prestigious project for Jammu city which would further add to the beauty of the City of Temples thus enhancing tourist influx to the region. This artificial lake, when completed in all respects, would definitely be an important asset for the State that could serve multiple beneficial purposes to include fishing, sports and waterside developments. Besides, it will help to boost tourism. It will also attract a lot of birds and the water body will help to bring down the temperature in Jammu city a little bit and recharge the ground water. People here will be at an advantage as it will enhance their business and attract more tourists. Yours faithfully, R L Kaith, Jammu.

win. 1,460 of the 4,807 representatives elected to the Lok Sabha in 2009 and State Assemblies since 2008 have declared criminal cases against them. Therefore, a large percentage of candidates with serious criminal charges actually win the elections. This should cause for concern for all those who are agitating for the countrys politics to be decriminalised. We cannot just sit idle and allow the trend to continue. So the full picture is that, on an average, there were 0.22 IPC Sections for serious crimes against a candidate, while there were 0.55 against winners. In every type of case, the percentage amongst winners is much more. The Cabinet maintains that most cases against their own are trivial, though figures available point out otherwise. In addition, we find that several cases drag on for years. Over 3,450 candidates had contested the elections more than once. Of them, there were 849 with a criminal record the first time they contested, and 631 who had a criminal case the second time they contested. About 474 of them had the same cases pending against them for at least four years. This means that a person with serious cases against him can complete the term of an Assembly or Lok Sabha before the cases are disposed of. The need for barring such candidates becomes even stronger since they have had ample time to get their names cleared from courts. The ordinance was fated for burial since its inception. It was a last-ditch effort by the UPA Government and the Congress to save their potential allies against the mood of the country. When the BJP vehemently objected and the President seemed to appreciate the BJPs objections and summoned three UPA Ministers for clarification, a new strategy was devised. The UPA buried the ordinance in an orchestrated high drama, claiming the U-turn was brought about by Congress scion Rahul Gandhis apparently scathing review of it. I do not think anybody buys this pathetic argument of the UPA that it was the vice president of the Congress and his unparliamentary lashing and humiliation of the Prime Minister and the countrys institutions that led to the regime abandoning its ordinance. On the contrary, the UPA grabbed this opportunity to help the young Gandhis non-existent political fortunes. The scams that have surfaced under the UPA regime are grossly bigger than the budget of any developed country. In the 2G Spectrum scam, in 2008, the public exchequer reportedly lost Rs 1.76 lakh crore; the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam caused a whopping Rs 70,000 crore hole in the exchequers pocket. Then theres the Adarsh scam from 2010, the Rs 3,600 Italian chopper deal and the Rs 1.85 lakh crore Coalgate itself. Governance will suffer, no matter who wins, because everyone has ended up investing huge sums. A clean election process is important to ensure good governance, even if it has no impact on the final outcome. Elections are not only about who wins but also about the quality of governance we get.

NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 14: With cyclone Phailin leaving a trail of destruction in coastal Odisha, the Centre on Monday acted swiftly, announcing flexibility in its various programmes for reconstructing houses and roads there and asked the State government to send proposals as soon as possible. In a letter to Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said there would also be relaxation in provisions of rural job scheme MNREGA in the affected districts. Considering the extensive damage to houses of the poor in villages, the Centre will provide additional assistance to the State under the Indira Awas Yojana, the Minister said. This may well involve reconstruction of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) roads and additional assistance under Indira Awas Yojana, Mr. Ramesh said. Recalling the steps taken by the Ministry to provide assistance to Uttarakhand natural disaster, the Minister said that same flexibility will be extended to Odisha to implement MNREGA more effectively in the affected areas. People in crisis-hit villages of Uttarakhand are getting employ-

ment for 150 days instead of 100 days under the MNREGA scheme in view of the huge losses they have suffered in the recent calamity. The Minister feels that such a relaxation would also help the poor in Phailin affected villages of

Odisha to rebuild their lives. Cyclone Phailin has hit lakhs of people, damaging houses and laying waste paddy crop worth hundreds of crores. Giving details of the devastation caused by the cyclone, Odisha Government has

Woman sexually abused by boss for 7 years Dalits throng Deeksha Bhoomi in Nagpur 18 crew members of drowned
MUMBAI: A Kandivli businessman has been arrested for sexually exploiting his former employee over the last seven years and sending video clips of their sexual acts to her parents and fiance. The survivor claimed that her ordeal began in 2006, when she was 17 years old. On Friday, the survivor, now 24 years old, filed a complaint with the Nalasopara police, who arrested Nitin Nanda (39) from his flat in Kandivli (west) and seized the clips. The complainant claimed that in 2006, Nanda had spiked her drinks and raped her in his factory in Vasai. She alleged that he filmed the act and threatened to upload the clip if she did not have physical relations with him. She told the police that though she quit the job in 2011, he would still call her to his vacant flat in Evershine City, Nalasopara. Recently, when the survivor told Nanda that she was getting married, he sent the clips to her parents and fiance. According to the police, Nanda, who is married and has two children, had filmed several of their sexual acts without her knowledge. The police have booked Nanda under sections 376 (rape), 377 (unnatural sex) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC and also under the Information Technology Act. NAGPUR, OCTOBER 14: Deepak Kurare, 48, a BSNL worker from Jamboli village in Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, did not stop chanting Buddham Saranam Gachchami, Sangham Saranam Gachchami (a Buddhist hymn), despite being completely drenched in the heavy rains that Nagpur witnessed on Sunday. Deepak travelled more than 1,000 km to be at Deeksha Bhoomi on the Dhammachakra Pravartan Din on Sunday, the day of Vijayadashmi Dussehra, for on this day in 1956, millions of Dalits broke the shackles of Hindu religion and converted to Buddhism, according to him. On October 14, 1956, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and lakhs of his followers converted to Buddhism at a place in Nagpur which is now called Deeksha Bhoomi. Just as every year, lakhs of Dalits across India gathered at the place to remember their Babasaheb and to celebrate the Dhammachakra Pravartan Din. Before Babasaheb, we would be treated like animals. He gave us identity, showed us the right path, taught us to fight for our basic rights, said Waman Kamble, 64, of Sheval town in Kolhapur. We were not allowed to drink water from public wells. We had no entry into temples because we were labelled untouchables. But Babasaheb fought for us all his life and today we at least have our basic rights, added Mr. Kamble. For Dalits like Mr. Kamble and Deepak, coming to Deeksha Bhoomi and paying tribute to Dr. Ambedkar is a yearly ritual but for youngsters like Krishna Kamble, Dhammadisksha (Conversion to Buddhism) was a revolution.It was a revolution, said Krishna, who studies in the Industrial Training Institute of this town, adding, Our ancestors lived like animals for ages until Babasaheb awakened us. But Krishna and his friends are also unhappy with the present days Dalit leadership. Babasaheb started a movement. Conversion to Buddhism was a revolutionary step but he died and left a vacuum in the leadership, which has still not been filled, said Bhimdas Naik of Yavatmal. Mr. Naik blamed the Congress for the divisions in the Dalit movement and was all the more angry watching Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde and NCP leader Sharad Pawar as the chief guest of the days function. This is purely a religious ceremony when we celebrate our freedom from the shackles of exploitation. What is the need to invite politicians as chief guests on this day? Last year it was Gadkari, this year it is Sharad Pawar and Shinde, said Mr. Naik. There are disputes among different sections of Dalits over the celebration of Dhammachakra Pravartan Din. A section led by some Dalit writers has launched a campaign to celebrate it on October 14 and not on Vijayadashami Dussehra for it is a Hindu festival.

KOLKATA, OCTOBER 14: A cargo ship is presumed sunk in rough seas caused by cyclone Phailin off West Bengal but its crew of 17 Chinese and an Indonesian was rescued on Monday, the Coast Guard said The crew were spotted in a lifeboat by a Coast Guard Dornier aircraft on Sunday and rescued 28 nautical miles northeast of Balasore in Odisha early Monday, Coast Guard Commandant Rajendra Nath said. The crew had abandoned the ship after it started sinking 24 miles south of Sagar Island. All of them are safe now and they have been sent to a hospital for check-up, he said.

The Panama registered m.v. Bingo carrying 8,000 tonne of iron ore was sailing to China after it left the Sagar anchorage on Friday. It went missing the day after. However, no trace of the ship has been found yet and it is presumed to be sunk, the Coast Guard official said. The ship was said to have sailed south instead of east with the captain deciding to proceed to China before it might have tried to come back to port after damage in rough seas. As per international practice, ships are advised to stay in the open sea instead of the harbour to avoid damage.

Gujarat Police takes Asaram to Ahmedabad for interrogation

the incident happened about 10 years back, the official said.He said right from verification of the scene of crime to collection of evidence, Gujarat Police had a tough challenge and they needed strong evidence to take Mr. Asaram into custody. This was exactly the strategy adopted by the Jodhpur police, which took some time in arresting him and collecting evidence parallelly by sending police teams to Chhindwara, Shajahanpur and Ahmedabad, he said. Mr. Asaram was arrested in August in Indore for allegedly sexually assaulting a 16year-old girl at his ashram in Jodhpur. Of the two Suratbased sisters, the elder sister has accused Mr. Asaram of repeated sexual assaults between 1997 and 2006, when she was living in his ashram on the outskirts of Ahmedabad city, while the younger one has accused Mr. Asarams son Sai of repeated sexual assaults between 2002 and 2005 when she was living in Mr. Asarams Surat ashram.

Madhya Pradesh govt recommends suspension of Datia collector, officials

BHOPAL, OCTOBER 14: Madhya Pradesh government on Monday recommended the State Election Commission to suspend Datias Collector, Superintendent of Police, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Sub Divisional Officer of Police and entire staff of Sevdha police station, over stampede near Ratangarh temple. The decision to suspend Collector, SP and other officials was taken by the State government after Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan visited Datia on Monday to review the situation after the tragedy on Sunday, official sources said. The Chief Minister, who visited Datia earlier in the day, reviewed the situation and prima facie found these officials and policemen guilty of a major lapse that led to the stampede which killed nearly 115 people and left over 100 others injured. The recommendations to suspend Collector Sanket Bhondwe, SP C.S. Solanki, SDM Mahip Tejaswi and

Boy kills kin of father's ex-wife

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police has solved a murder case in which a minor who planned to kill his father's first wife, barged into her house and killed her brother instead by stabbing him several times. The boy held a grudge against Snehlata who had separated from his father 32 years ago. Snehlata had filed a case against his father for harassment and also sought maintenance. His father was still attending hearings and was reportedly suffering from depression. The boy allegedly hired two men, including the son of a Delhi Police officer, for Rs 53,000 to murder the woman and her brother Baljeet (38) at their home in Mazra Dabas village in outer Delhi. On October 8, the assailants arrived at the house of Baljeet on a motorcycle. They climbed over the boundary wall and met Baljeet at the door. Baljeet put up a fight during which they killed him. Later, inspector Brahmjeet Singh received a tip-off that one of the accused would be coming near Narela on Friday, following which the trio was arrested. During questioning, the minor confessed the crime. "His father was depressed due to complaints filed by Snehlata. She even complained against him in DTC where he works as a driver. The accused wanted to put an end to the problem. His relative Monu advised him to murder Snehlata and Baljeet," DCP (special cell) Sanjeev Yadav said. JODHPUR, OCTOBER 14: Three days after a court in Jodhpur permitted Gujarat Police to take custody of selfstyled godman Asaram Bapu, he was taken to Ahmedabad on Monday afternoon for interrogation in connection with sexual assault case lodged by two Surat-based sisters against him and his son. 72-year-old Asaram will be taken to Ahmedabad via Mumbai and questioned about the allegations of rape, sexual assault and illegal confinement between 2001-2006. The District and Sessions Court had given permission to Gujarat Police to take custody of Mr. Asaram on Friday itself, but fearing a backlash by his followers, Gujarat Police had waited for orders from their seniors on taking him to Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad DCP Manoj Ninama arrived in Jodhpur on Sunday, with extra police force and took the decision on Mr. Asaram.A police official said the delay in taking Mr. Asaram to Ahmedabad was a deliberate move. As in the case of Jodhpur, Gujarat Police wanted to gather adequate evidence against Asaram in the fresh case as

SDOP B.N. Basave were made to the Election Commission by the State government. Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in the State next month. Earlier in the day, Mr. Chouhan, after meeting injured persons at a Datia hospital, said that an inquiry would be set up within the next two days to look into the stampede on Sunday at the Ratangarh temple near Bhopal.

He said that the inquiry report would come in about two months and action on it will be taken within 15 days after its submission. Mr. Chouhan wished to visit the stampede site but he could not go there as he did not get permission for it from the Election Commission. He said that action would be taken against those who appear responsible for the stampede, after taking permission from the Election Commission.

Centre seeks report on detained American ship Odisha prepares to face Phailin-triggered floods
NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 14: Taking a serious view of the suspicious movement of an American ship in Indian waters, the Centre on Monday sought a report from the Tamil Nadu government on the vessel which was detained for carrying arms and buying diesel unauthorisedly. The Home Ministry conveyed to the Tamil Nadu government and other agencies involved in probing the case to find out details of the ship, the crew members and its armed guards and also its purpose of cruising in Indian territorial waters. We want a detailed report. It is a serious matter as the ship was carrying arms and bought diesel in India illegally, a Home Ministry official said. The vessel, MV Seaman Guard Ohio, whose crew included eight Indians, was intercepted and detained by the Indian Coast Guard about 15 nautical miles east of Tuticorin on Saturday. An FIR has been registered against 10 crew members and 25 guards of the detained ship by the Tamil Nadu Marine Police for illegally carrying arms and ammunition. Besides, a case under the Essential Commodities Act has also been registered for buying 1,500 litres of diesel illegally with the help of a local GOPALPUR/SRIKAKULAM/BHU BANESWAR, OCTOBER 14: The death toll in calamity-ravaged Odisha on Monday mounted to 25 with four more persons perishing in several areas of the State in the aftermath of cyclone Phailin that triggered heavy rains and floods in some districts. The government described the situation in Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts as critical.Relief and rescue operations have been launched in the affected areas. The situation due to floods caused by cyclone induced rainfall is critical in Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts where major rivers like Budhabalanga and Subarnarekha are in spate following sudden inflow of water, Special Relief Commissioner P.K. Mohapatra said. Though water level in rivers in Bhadrak also rose menacingly following heavy rains, the situation in the district is now under control, he said. Describing the situation grim especially in Balasore, the official said water level in Budhabalanga has risen to 9.24 meters against the red mark of 8.13 at Gobindpur near NH-5. Similarly, Subarnarekha was now flowing at 11.7 meters against the danger level of 10.36 meter at Rajghat near Jaleswar, he said, adding 39 panchayats in four blocks of Balasore were under the grip of flood. Steps have been taken for airdropping of food packets in flood-hit areas of Balasore where NDRF had been deployed, while water level in rivers in Mayurbhanj has started receding, Mr. P.K. Mohapatra said. It is apprehended that river Budhabalanga might further rise in Balasore in view of heavy rains in the catchment areas, officials said. Similarly, the Jalaka was flowing at 6.73 meters against its danger level of 5.50 at Basta. Small rivers like Sona, Gangahar, Kansa and Bausa were also in spate in Balasore district, they said. The flood water of Buddhabalang had entered many low-lying areas of Balasore Sadar and Remuna blocks near Bhubaneswar while several places under Baliapal and Bhograi were affected by the water from river Subarnarekha.

JAIPUR: A man was beaten up by a mob when he was caught red-handed attempting to rape a 5-year-old girl in Kota's Vigyan Nagar area on Sunday. The accused lured the girl who lives in his neighbourhood into coming to an isolated place on the pretext of offering her chocolate and was caught molesting her. The accused, identified as Ranjeet Valmiki, is married. "He took the 5-year-old daughter of a distant relative living in the neighbourhood to an isolated place near ITI premises. The girl was playing outside her house when he showed her a chocolate and told her that he would give her more if she would come with her," said a police officer. Some people who were passing by heard the girl's cries. When they approached the place, they caught Ranjeet molesting the girl. "A crowd gathered there. They beat him up severely. Meanwhile, the girl's grandmother who found the child missing reached the place where he was being beaten up. She found the girl there. People informed the police following which senior police officers rushed to the spot," said the officer. A medical examination was conducted on the girl and the accused. "The girl's parents are currently staying in Jaipur for labour work. The girl was staying with her grandparents," said the officer. The police have registered a case against the accused under sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act.

INTERNATIONAL & ECONOMY

KUALA LUMPUR, OCTOBER 14: A Malaysian appeals court ruled on Monday that only Muslims can use the word Allah to refer to god, upholding a government ban on the word being used in a Catholic publication. The ruling reverses an earlier lower court decision. Our common finding that the use of Allah is not an integral part of the Christian faith, so we find no justification for why they insist on using the name or word in their publication, said Justice Mohamed Apandi who read a summary of the more than 100-page ruling. He said the three-member appellate court panel also noted that allowing nonMuslims to use the word would cause confusion and could jeopardise public safety. The welfare of an individual or group, must yield to the interest of society at large, he said. Annou Xavier, one of the lawyers for the Catholic Church, said he would discuss with his client whether they would appeal in the Federal Court. The controversy started in 2008 when the

Nepal President asks people to vote in November 19 polls

KATHMANDU, OCTOBER 14: President Ram Baran Yadav has asked Nepalese people to help in drafting a new constitution by utilising the opportunity to vote in the November 19 Constituent Assembly elections in a free and fair manner. Nepalese of all religion, class, caste and sex should maintain and build a spirit of goodwill, brotherhood and fraternity and utilise this opportunity to receive the peoples mandate for the same, he said in his message on the occasion of the national festival Vijaya Dashami. Festivals like Vijaya Dashami bring together individuals, families and society, and serve as important medium to express ones social and cultural identity, he said. The November 19 elections is the only option available at present for maintaining peace and prosperity of Nepal and the Nepalese people, chairman of the Council of Ministers Khil Raj Regmi said in a separate message. Making the elections successful is the top priority and goal of the present government, he said. Nepalese people on Monday observed the 10th day of the Hindu festival Vijaya Dashami. On the 10th day, people will on Monday receive tika or red vermilion powder mixed with curd and rice on their forehead

that the church had a constitutional right to use the word in its publication on the ground that religions other than Islam can be practiced in peace and harmony. The High Court decision triggered protests from Muslim groups.

China defends stapled visa move, but expresses regret for athletes US or India cant stop BEIJING, OCTOBER 14: enabling personnel movement little progress, although both China on Monday defended its pending an overall resolution sides have committed them- funds: Hafiz Saeed
issuing of stapled visas to two Arunachal Pradesh youth athletes, describing its policy as showing flexibility to allow travel while the boundary dispute remains unresolved. The Foreign Ministry said its policy was consistent and clear cut, suggesting it would remain in place, even as it expressed regret for the two young archers who were stopped at New Delhi airport as they were set to fly to China to participate in youth world championships. Chinas practice is a flexible move pending resolution of the boundary question. This shows Chinas sincerity and flexibility, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters. Ms. Hua added, The two athletes could not come to China for the relevant event. We express our regret, but with regard to this matter our position on the eastern end of the boundary between China and India is consistent and clear cut. We hope the Indian side can work with the Chinese side and maintain sound momentum of personnel exchanges and cooperation across the board. Issuing stapled visas, Ms. Hua said, was a flexible way of of the boundary question" and showed "the two sides commitment and sincerity to uphold peace and stability in border areas.India, however, has protested the issuing of stapled visas, seeing the moves as violating its sovereignty. The government has made clear that those issued stapled visas will not be allowed to travel to China.Last week, two young archers from Arunachal Pradesh, Maselo Mihu and Sorang Yumi, were set to travel to Wuxi, in southern China, for a youth world championship tournament. The only two members of the delegation from Arunachal Pradesh, they were both issued stapled visas, and consequently could not board their flight from New Delhi. Beijing has been issuing stapled visas to applicants from the State since at least 2010. Before that, the Chinese Embassy did not issue any kind of visa for applicants from Arunachal, citing its territorial claims on the State. China claims around 90,000 square kilometres in the eastern sector of the disputed boundary, while India sees China as occupying at least 38,000 square kilometres in the west. The sixteen rounds of talks over the issue have made selves to maintaining peace and stability in border areas. Last weeks case, officials say, is unlikely to be the last with China suggesting it will continue with its clear cut visa policy for Arunachal residents. Only last year, one student from the State was not allowed to join a 100-member youth delegation to China after she was issued a stapled visa. In 2011, a Karate team was also prevented from boarding a flight in New Delhi. On Monday, Ms. Hua, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said she was not certain if the issue will figure during next weeks visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to China, but added that the boundary question would likely receive significant attention. Dr. Singh is expected to arrive in Beijing on October 22, and is scheduled to hold talks with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang. With regard to the upcoming visit, Ms. Hua said, China attaches great importance to it, and we expect that high-level exchanges between the two countries can help maintain sustainable and steady development, and deepen cooperation across the board.

ISLAMABAD: Jamat ud Dawa (JuD) chief and the man India wants for the November 26, 2008 terror attacks, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed on Monday scoffed at the idea that U.S. and India can get together and stop the funding of groups like JuD. India was creating false propaganda about him and U.S. was being fooled into believing it, he said. They want to get together and stop JuD funds - things dont happen this way, he said, while responding to questions on India and U.S. announcing cooperation to stop fund raising of terror groups. Saeed said India had created a massive propaganda against him but in the whole world, JuD is recognised for its relief and rescue work in floods and earthquakes.As if to buttress that point, he conducted his media conference sitting in the middle of sacks of food, plastic water cans, Star Wars games and clothes meant to be Id gifts for the people of Awaran and other areas affected by the earthquake in Balochistan.

At least 15 killed in car bomb explosion in Syria

BEIRUT, OCTOBER 14: A car bombing in a rebel-held north-western town in Syria killed at least 15 people and wounded dozens on Monday, setting cars on fire and sending people running in panic, two activist groups said. The bomb went off at a market in the town of Darkoush in Idlib province, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Local Coordination Committees. The marketplace was busy with shoppers buying on the eve of Eid al-Adha, one of the most important Muslims holidays. The two groups, which rely on a network of activists on the ground, differed on the death toll, which is often the case in the immediate aftermath of big attacks. The Observatory said 27 people died while the Committees said at least 15 were killed. An amateur video posted on the LCCs Facebook page showed several cars on fire in a street full of debris. People are seen running in panic as smoke billowed from the area, and several shops and apartment buildings appear heavily damaged in the blast. Another video shows men carrying two bodies and placing them in a blanket. The videos appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting on the events depicted. Car bombs are becoming more common in Syrias civil war, now in its third year. The conflict has killed more than 100,000 people. On Sunday, two car bombs exploded near the state TV building in Damascus. The SANA news agency said the TVs headquarters in Umayyad Square was damaged in the blast, but there was no word on casualties. The Damascus attack came just hours after gunmen abducted six Red Cross workers and a Syrian Red Crescent volunteer after stopping their convoy early Sunday in north-western Syria, a spokesman said, in the latest high-profile kidnapping in the countrys civil war. Much of the countryside in Idlib province, as well as the rest of northern Syria, has fallen over the past year into the hands of rebels, many of them Islamic extremists, and kidnappings have become rife, particularly of aid workers and foreign journalists. The intensity of the conflict has not abated in the past two weeks, even as inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons press on with their work to destroy the countrys chemical weapons stockpile. On Friday, the watchdog agency working to eliminate chemical weapons around the world won the Nobel Peace Prize in a powerful endorsement of its Syria mission. The mission stems from a deadly Aug. 21 attack on opposition-held suburbs of Damascus in which the U.N. determined the nerve agent sarin was used. Hundreds of people were killed, including many children in the attack. The U.S. and Western allies say the Syrian government was responsible, while Damascus blames the rebels. Monday also marks the date that Syria formally joins the OPCW, 30 days after submitting its application at the United Nations. In an interview with the Lebanese Al-Akbar daily, Syrian President Bashar Assad was quoted Monday as saying that his country stopped manufacturing chemical agents in 1997 because they became an outdated deterrent weapon and has since concentrated on its missile capabilities. Damascus is believed to have thousands of long-range missiles that can reach targets almost anywhere inside archenemy Israel. In the interview, Mr. Assad said that ridding Syria of its chemical weapons would present neither a moral nor a political loss. Developing Syrias missile deterrent force that can be used from the first moments of war ended the necessity of chemical weapons, Mr. Assad as saying. Asked about the OPCW getting the Nobel prize, Mr. Assad attempted a joke, saying, this prize should have been mine.
