Twin terror attacks: Jammu observes complete shutdown

Militants dressed in Indian Army uniforms killed nine people, including five policemen, three Army soldiers and a civilian. The shutdown call was given by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and supported by the Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industries. All shops, business establishments remained shut. "The entire Jammu will remain closed today. No shops will open and we will do no business. I am seeing that the entire Jammu is closed. No one has opened their shops and I don't think there is a need to open the shops," said Ashok Mehra, a resident of the district. Television footage showed police officials taking positions and firing from just outside the camp's walls and closing the main gate. Wounded policemen were being lifted out. Police officials said that after attacking the police station, the militants hijacked a truck. The group of about three militants killed six people in the attack on the police station in the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir, then hijacked a truck and drove to the Army camp, where they were hiding in a building, security forces said.

EC TO IMPLEMENT SC'S DIRECTION ON RIGHT TO REJECT

NEW DELHI, SEP 27; The Election Commission on Friday said it would straight away implement the Supreme Court judgment directing it to provide a "None of the Above" button on electronic voting machines (EVMs). The button can be pressed by a voter to reject all the candidates in a poll in case he finds them unsuitable. "The EC welcomes the Supreme Court order, which has upheld its long-pending proposal in this regard. It will help maintain the secrecy of ballot for those who want to record a negative/neutral vote on the EVM," a senior EC functionary told TOI. The functionary added that the 'None of the Above' (NOTA) option will be displayed on EVMs in all future elections, the first being the assembly polls to five states due in November. "In accordance with the order of the Supreme Court, 'NOTA' shall be printed in a separate panel on the ballot paper below the name of the last contesting candidate. This ballot paper shall be affixed on the ballot unit of the EVM. If the voter presses the button next to NOTA, his desire not to vote for any of the candidates in the fray will get recorded in the EVM in secrecy," the EC said in a press release on Friday. "Commission shall also make appropriate changes in Part-2 of Form 17C used during counting and the result sheet in Form 20 to separately compile the number of persons who used the option not to vote for any of the candidates in the fray," the EC said, adding that it would issue detailed instructions to ensure compliance with the order of the court as expeditiously as possible.

More than 50 Indians dead Sex scandal: Five accused BJP HOLDS PROTEST, BURNS in Nairobi mall terror attack acquitted by CBI court EFFIGIES OF PAKISTAN, UPA
AHMEDABAD, SEP 27: Gujarati community leaders, working closely with the rescue and relief operations at the Nairobi mall which came under terror attack last Saturday, have put the death toll of Indians in the massacre at over 50, out of a total death toll of 130. Gujaratis accounted for at least 35 of these deaths, reliable sources told over telephone even as the process of removal of rubble of the partially collapsed mall, under which more victims may be buried, continued on Thursday. Many Gujaratis own shops in the mall where a cooking contest was on for the Indian community when the attackers started firing indiscriminately. Authenticating these figures, Manoj Shah, chairman of MP Shah Hospital in Nairobi, said 70 injured persons, many of them Indians, were admitted to his hospital and some of them are in a critical condition. The mall is a favourite haunt of the affluent in the Indian community, apart from Western expats. Karsan Raghavani of Lakhsmanbhai and Co, which built the Westgate Mall, said, "With the debris still being cleared, the toll is certain to go higher," he said. Chinubhai Shah of Visha Oswal Samaj said a number of children are still missing and complaints were being registered with the police. The Red Cross said 71 persons, who may have been in the mall when the assault began, remain unaccounted for. Kenyan officials put the death toll at 72, including 61 civilians, six security agents and five terrorists. They indicated the toll could rise as there might be bodies trapped inside the collapsed building.

CBI Judge Vimal Kumar yesterday acquitted Absar Ahmad, Hilal Ahmad, Aijaz Ahmad, Sabeena and her husband Abdul Hamid Bullah in a case under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act. "The statements recorded by Sessions Judge and Judicial Magistrate in Srinagar under the purview of Section 164 of the CrPC are not admissible as evidence against the accused until and unless the witnesses support the case of the prosecution. Here, in the trial court the witnesses did not support the cases," defence counsel Rabindra Pandit said here today.

WHY RAHULS NONSENSE ORDINANCE WAS MEANT FOR RASHTRIPATI BHAWAN?

HINDSIGHT
ROHIT SINGH RANA
It was nothing but a doctored drama on Ordinance for convicted law makers and Rahul Gandhi was given the central part in it. Reason, to counter the ever sagging popularity of Congress led UPA government. Interesting unfolding of events, Rahul Gandhi emerges as a storm trooper blasting his way into a press conference. He issues his statement on the Ordinance for convicted law makers. Calls it nonsense and walks away. He would have torn the nonsense ordinance if he had that in his hand. Soon after he leaves satisfied that he did his part well and effectively. Read his words, "Now, I will tell you what my opinion on the ordinance is. It is complete nonsense; it should be torn up and thrown away. It is my personal opinion." Watching closely the Congress Yuvraj, a pattern in his antics is clearly visible. He is prone to tearing documents. Remember, during heat of UP elections in a speech, how he tore
apart the election manifesto of Samajwadi Party. He would have done the same to the Ordinance on convicted law makers now in the court of the President. Wonder why the nonsense ordinance was meant only for Rashtripati Bhawan. There was more to it than meets the eye. Congress has mastered the art of the dubious to a subtle finesse. It is hard to believe what will come out of its Banumati ka Pitara. If faced with a difficult situation and with back to the wall, it will contrive the unimaginable and give impression that it came natural and no doctoring took place. It is stinking to see the PM candidate of UPA, not coming up to the expectations of the people. Then suddenly he is catapulted through a carefully crafted course to announce his arrival. In fact what the nation saw on the television with Rahul rubbishing the ordinance was nothing but a stage managed show with Dighvijay touch in order to give him some sense of credibility, when the stock of UPA is low and Modi is tearing into it with rabid abandon. There was no need to hurry through the ordinance but UPA somehow wants to
stick to the power come what may. Whether it is the support of Lalu or Rashid Masood no qualms about it, only future has to be secured. Curiously, when the ordinance was sent to President he held his pen and paused. In the meantime, Manmohan Singh spread his wings and flew to his perhaps last state tour of USA with wife and other entourage in tow. New York this time is pleasant, the sound of Samba gunfire or Presidents holding back on the ordinance do not matter. Suddenly, he is startled in the afternoon of 27th September when Rahul makes his nonsense comment on the ordinance. Back in New Delhi, the high point of Rahuls press conference was Ajay Maken who accompanied him said that what Rahul expressed was in conformity with the party line. Funny people and funny loyalty, forked tongues and double speak at its best. If it was the line of Rahul Gandhi that the Ordinance was not good move of the government then why was it passed by the cabinet without his approval. Now Rahul having rubbished it and admitting that the government had done wrong there is a stir in the UPA.
Reports from New York suggest that the PM had taken note of Rahuls criticism. Post Yuvrajs criticism all are falling in line right from New York to New Delhi. This is the Rahul power or the power that Indias first ruling family commands from 10 Janpath. Hearts miss a beat about the snobbery and Chamcha giri of all Congress men especially that of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He has brought discredit to his image by saying that he is willing to work under Rahul. In which capacity is a riddle. But as things turn out post nonsense statement it is clear that he will not mind sounding a bugle in front of Rahuls entourage. One wonders what has afflicted the Grand Old Party of India. Its unwillingness to see the mood of the people and inability to break loose from the shackles of dynasty politics will eventually cost it dearly. In this murky scene why the Rashtripati Bhawan was sent an Ordinance which after long deliberations was declared nonsense by Rahul Gandhi is for them to answer. The common man is distraught and disconsolate at this brazen politicking.
TIME TO PRESS NOTA BUTTON!

Friday the 27th September may prove one land mark day in the democratic history of the country. With very less things good happening and scam esters, looters and convicted law makers finding protection from the government it is yet again the judiciary that delivers. This time it has given the voter a choice to reject all the candidates. With EVMs and ballot papers soon have a NOTA (None of the Above) button, it is high time for electorates to use their discretion in rejecting the candidates chosen by the political parties. Could it be construed that the NOTA button will force the political parties to choose a better and clean candidate? Time will tell but as the winds of change are beginning to be blowing left right and centre, it is the electorate who has to deliver on the D Day. Sadly the electorate has been parceled out into compartments of Dalits, upper castes, backward castes, minorities, and further sub divided into smaller parts by the political system of the country it is important that the people of India break these shackles and signal its arrival with pressing the NOTA button. Early to say whether NOTA button will become a reality because with ordinance route available it is not a big deal for government to bypass the land mark Supreme Court order. RANASAHIB

the US where he is to hold a bilateral summit meeting with President Barack Obama, said that Rahul Gandhi had written to him on the issue and also made a statement earlier. "The Ordinance cleared by the Cabinet pertaining to the Representation of the People Act has been a matter of much public debate. The Congress vice president has also written to me on the issue and also made a statement. The government is seized of all these developments. The issues raised will be considered on my return to India after due deliberations in the cabinet," the statement said. ordinance sent to the President. He also said that Rahul Gandhi must apologize to the Prime Minister. Baru had tweeted that Rahul Gandhi's comments that the ordinance that seeks to protect convicted lawmakers should be "torn up and thrown away" were tantamount to insubordination of the prime minister and undermined his position and authority. "I think he should quit," said Baru to a television channel. "Having differences of opinion is different; there is nothing wrong it if a member of the party wants to criticize it. But the manner in which it was done, the language that has been used and the context in which it has happened - when the BJP went to meet the president over it yesterday and the president is holding back on the ordinance...," said Baru. "This is not an individual personal fantasy of the Prime Minister. He sent the ordinance for signature to the President on behalf of the government, which is essentially a Congress government..." "But to say this (ordinance) is nonsense, and should be torn up and thrown away...?" "I don't think why he (prime minister) should continue; he should call off his meetings (in the US) and return... The manner in which this has been done is insulting," said Baru. "I think he (Prime Minister Manmohan Singh) will be a man in great distress, he is a very sentimental man, very emotional man..." "The least that Rahul Gandhi can do is to call up and apologise," he said. realisation of what constitutes nonsense and if the Congress party genuinely believes that this is nonsense, then the heads which have produced this nonsense twice in a month before this country... this is the question of governance... then will those heads remain or will those heads roll?," Jaitley said. He was reacting to the Congress vice-president's statement that the ordinance should be "torn up and thrown away". Taking a dig at the Nehru-Gandhi family on the matter, he said, "If the heads don't roll, then this is only a grandstanding, a charade... intended to only establish... well the government makes mistakes, rest of the world makes mistakes, but the first family of the Congress doesn't make mistakes." Jaitley termed as "a desperate damagecontrol exercise" Gandhi's opposition to the ordinance. "In the last few days, there has been a national revulsion against this ordinance. Let us not forget that the subject matter of allowing the convicted politician to be a part of the legislative bodies has been approved by the UPA Cabinet twice - first as a bill and now as an ordinance," he said. On both occasions, the Congress party has supported it, he said. "They have not opposed it. So it is not that till today the Congress was unaware of this. And in fact, the Parliament session was extended by a day to enable this to be passed," Jaitley said. It was only because of the opposition and Parliament that the bill was referred to the standing committee and not approved, he said. Nawaz Sharif were due to meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting. They were expected to discuss the violence in the disputed Kashmir region. Meanwhile, members of the BJP youth wing also held a protest against the attacks and said that the security lapses by the government led to the occurrence. The protesters said India will have to talk tough with Pakistan. "We want to warn the federal government that if they want to make India proud, they will have to avenge the killings by Pakistani militants. The government will have to talk tough with Pakistan instead of trying to initiate peace talks. The rules and regulations of dialogue will have to be changed. Otherwise the day isn't far when the people of this country will topple the federal government," said Sethi, a protester. India has faced an insurgency in its part of Muslim-majority Kashmir since 1989 and has long accused Pakistan of supporting the militants fighting Indian rule. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah told reporters he believed the group had entered from Pakistan within the last 24 hours. Pakistan denies arming or training the militants, who cross the border from the Pakistani side of Kashmir into the Indian side, but says it offers moral support to the Muslim people of Kashmir who Pakistan says face rights abuses by Indian forces. According to South Asia Terrorism Portal, which tracks violence in Kashmir, 128 people, including 44 security personnel were killed in the region this year, up to the latest attack. That compares with 117 people killed last year. per cent of the electorate chose to cast negative/neutral votes. As former CEC N Gopalaswami explained to TOI, "Even if 90 voters in an electorate of 100 persons press the NOTA button, the poll will be decided in favour of the candidate who gets the maximum of the remaining 10 votes". The proposal for negative/neutral voting was first made by the commission in December 2001, during the tenure of JM Lyngdoh, and then reiterated and pushed by the then chief election commissioner TS Krishnamurthy in July 2004. As per the EC's proposal, though the facility of registering a negative/neutral vote was already provided under Section 49-O of the conduct of election rules, secrecy was maintainable only in a ballot system. The system in the EVMs, which has now become the mainstay of elections, however was different and tended to compromise the secrecy of vote in as much as the polling officials and polling agents got to know about the decision of the voter not to cast this vote. It was to ensure secrecy of neutral/negative votes in the age of EVMs that the EC made this proposal first to the law ministry, former CEC N Gopalaswami told TOI. He said the government, however, sat on the proposal, which then became the matter of a PIL filed by PUCL. The government, however, submitted in the apex court that the writ was not maintainable as 'right to vote' was neither a fundamental nor a constitutional right, but only a statutory right. "The government had probably sensed the potential of the proposal being upgraded to a 'right to reject' all candidates in the future, which would invalidate any election where the negative voting option has been exercised in over 50% cases," a former bureaucrat pointed out. The EC, on its part, backed the PUCL prayer to the apex court. This was in line with the view taken by its proposal submitted in 2004, recommending that the law be amended to specifically provide for negative/neutral voting. "For this purpose, Rules 22 and 49B of the conduct of election rules, 1961, may be suitably amended, adding a proviso that in the ballot paper and the particulars on the ballot unit, in the column relating to names of candidates, after the entry relating to the last candidate, there shall be a column 'none of the above' to enable a voter to reject all the candidates," the EC proposed. However, Gopalaswami said the "right not to vote" was different from "right to reject" as the neutral votes cast would be set aside while deciding the result of an election. "At most, neutral voting is a step closer to 'right to reject', which may necessitate a re-election if a majority of candidates choose to reject all the candidates," he noted spy agencies of Israel and Germany. Kenyan police are looking into the possibility that some of the attackers, belonging to the Somani alShabaab group linked to al-Qaida, may have rented space inside the mall in preparation for the terrorist strike. of Ranbir Penal Code (RPC), Immoral Trafficking Act and the Information Technology Act were registered. Nine accused were named in one case, while three each were named in the remaining eight cases. The names of Sabina and her husband Bullah had figured in all the cases. The other accused included former Jammu and Kashmir minister Raman Mattoo, former DSP Mohammad Ashraf Mir, bureaucrat Iqbal Khandey, former DSP Mohammad Yusuf Mir and former Additional Advocate General Anil Sethi. In October, 2012, two witnesses, including a woman special police officer, had turned hostile in the trial. And, in the same year, the court had acquitted two others - former J&K minister and a senior bureaucrat, who were allegedly in-charge of "procuring, inducing or taking a person for the sake of prostitution". traders, educational and social organizations for extending their full support to make Jammu bandh successful, said that the unity displayed by Jammuites on the issue of security and safety has sent very clear message to the UPA as well as NC-Congress coalition that the people that a tough and clear stand against Pakistan can only bring down the anger of masses. He said that it is indeed unfortunate that the Prime Minister has failed to understand his constitutional duty to ensure security of the citizens of India and it seems that he is under some external pressure for continuation of peace talks with Pakistan. He said that Pakistan has been violating all the norms and agreements, and indulging in cross border firing, infiltration, killings of Indian soldiers and making all efforts to internationalize Kashmir issue. The only issue between India and Pakistan is to get back PoK which is illegally occupied by Pakistan. He said that the UPA should only focus on getting these areas back and using International pressure to get Pakistan declared a terrorist country. Ashok Khajuria said that the Pakistan was always defeated in direct wars by the brave Indian soldiers. As it could not succeed in its nefarious designs, it changed its strategy and waged a proxy war against India. Every time whenever it indulged in firing, killings, only one line statement of condemnation from the Indian government sent a signal that Pakistan had not to face any resistance or effective from India viz-a-viz its proxy war. He also held the Omar Abdullah led State government responsible for it. Criticizing the soft approach of centre on terrorism, Ajay Vaid District BJP President said that rather then going for talks in New York, the PM should have hard policy against Pakistan. He also said that our PM has gained nothing by having talks with his Pakistani counterpart so far and no what will come out of the talks going to be held US.

Crowds have collected near the rubble of the flattened building, reportedly owned by the city's municipal authority. "My son is inside. I'm waiting for them to get him out," Mithi Solanki, 62, told the AFP news agency. "Approximately 80 to 90 people are believed to be left behind in the building and trapped,'' Alok Awasthi of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) told the AFP news agency. Officials said 22 families lived in the building and the municipality had asked the residents to leave it earlier this year. "The building was around 30 years old. We had issued a notice to them in April to vacate the building, but they did not act," municipality spokesman Vijay Khabale Patil said. He did not explain why the families had been asked to leave. Property prices and rent in Mumbai are among the highest in Asia. Many citizens are forced to live in old, dilapidated properties in a land-scarce city. Over 100 people have been killed in five building collapses in Mumbai between April and June alone. And between 2008 and 2012, there were 100 building collapses in the city in which 53 people died and 103 others were injured, authorities say Bhata Dhurian in the same district, they said, adding that Mohammad Rashid was also arrested from Surankote area of the district. Acting on a specific information, police arrested Sham Lal, who was evading arrest for the past seven years, from Kanachak area of Jammu, they said.

"The Amritsar Improvement Trust had Rs 160 crore funds, but no development work was carried in the past six years. Instead Rs 60 crore were diverted to others districts of Punjab with the aim to scuttle my projects," he said. "I was unable to convince the authority for development of Amritsar," he said, adding "the decision to go on fast is my own." Sidhu said he would not point fingers at anyone for the delay in carrying out development projects and added he had requested Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal to order a judicial probe to ascertain on whose order Rs 60 crore of Amritsar Improvement Trust was diverted.

Maken sidestepped questions on whether Gandhi's remarks meant a "rebellion" against the government or a public snub to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his government. "Rahul Gandhi is our leader. His views are views of the Congress party. The situation with any issue evolves with time and it has evolved and no one should have any objection to it," he merely said in reply to such questions. "What Rahul Gandhi said is the most important thing ... that this Ordinance will not help us fight corruption. He is our leader and I think this is our official political stand. Rahul ji's opinion is the opinion and the line of Congress ... Now Congress party is opposed to this ordinance," he said. Before Rahul intervened during the press meet, Maken had dismissed opposition criticism of the ordinance and downplayed the remarks of some Congress leaders including Digvijaya Singh, Sandip Dikshit and Milind Deora, who opposed the measure. He slammed the BJP for opposing the ordinance saying that it "should not try and make it a political blame game and take advantage of both the situations", noting that the opposition party does not have moral right to change its stand after backing all proposals at an allparty meeting in August. Maken even credited the "collective wisdom" of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, vice-president Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for UPA's actions. He, however, later justified the U-turn saying "the situation with any issue evolves with time and it has evolved. Rahul has given an opinion on the issue and now it is the Congress view." When asked whether the Prime Minister will now withdraw the ordinance that seeks to negate a Supreme Court verdict that struck down the provision in the Representation of the People Act deferring disqualification of convicted lawmakers, Maken refused to answer. "I do not think I have an answer to a hypothetical question," he said, adding "Rahul Gandhi has aired the views of the common man. Rahul Gandhi is our leader and he had put across his views before you without any ambiguity". He added that the Congress vice-president has spoken out his mind on a moral plane. "Times have changed and people do not want to see any convicted person to be their representative. Rahul ji has aired the views of the common man. He does not want a convicted person to become a public representative," Maken said. To a specific question on whether Gandhi's remarks has reinforced that there are two power centres in Congress, He said, "Rahul has taken this stand on a high moral ground. He has not spoken just any technical thing. Gandhi has expressed his views on moral and ethical ground." Asked whether the Congress vice-president was not consulted

before the decision and whether the flip-flop points to lack of communication between Rahul and the government, Maken said, "After Rahul Gandhi's views, the party has given its opinion. Let us see what action is taken after this." He also said that "... I am the communication department chief of Congress. There are others who look after the communication between Rahul Gandhi and the central government". Maken also said that Union minister Manish Tewari, V Narayanasamy or he himself were earlier placing the views of the government, when asked that whether Congress should also be now criticized for opposing the ordinance like BJP. "I had placed the view of Chidambaram. I also placed the view of the government. Rahul put forth the views of the party," he said. Without mincing words, Rahul had hit out at the ordinance, saying, "It is complete nonsense, it should be torn up and thrown away. It is my personal opinion." Rahul said that the arguments given in "my organization" is that "we need to do this because of political considerations. Everybody is doing this. The Congress does this, the BJP does this, the Samajwadi Party, and the JD (U) does this. It is time to stop this nonsense, political parties, mine and all others ..." Maken denied suggestions that Rahul came out with a changed response of Congress on the ordinance issue as President Pranab Mukherjee could be having reservations on the issue and his utterances today are a "political stunt". "I don't think so. Rahul ji is an independent person. He has his strong views ... Rahul has a thinking of his own and he puts forth his views strongly. He has expressed his very own opinion strongly," Maken said. He also expressed annoyance at journalists for giving their opinions on the issue telling them "you can ask questions but you cannot give opinion ... You are also giving opinions while you are asking questions." At the outset, Maken had attacked the BJP, saying, "On August 13, when an all-party meeting took place, the exact formulation of the ordinance was discussed and all parties agreed. "The formulation is not something on which anyone should disagree. The principal opposition party had agreed to the formulation of the ordinance." He also said BJP has "no moral right" to raise such issues, when they have "convicted" Babu Bokhiria in the cabinet of Narendra Modi in Gujarat and reminded it of the corruption scandal involving former BJP president Bangaru Laxman. "I do not think, BJP has a local standi or moral authority to oppose the ordinance as they had accepted all the formulation of ordinance earlier." He also downplayed played by some Congress leaders to the ordinance saying "we are a big political party" and added that "different opinions in the party" reflect internal democracy. Maken had at the same time asserted that "the decision taken by the government is perfect" and that "such ordinance are not decided keeping in mind one or two persons. Senior people from the government must have taken the decision after due consideration." He made the remarks while replying to question on whether the government took the ordinance route on this matter to help RJD chief Lalu Prasad, whose fate is to be decided by a special CBI court in the fodder scam on September 30 or help some Congress leaders facing similar problems. Maintaining that "ordinance is also a form of legislation", Maken had also assured that if the parliamentary standing committee before which the bill is pending in this regard "decides something else", then a separate bill will be brought before Parliament. said a statement issued by the prime minister after Rahul Gandhi said the ordinance that seeks to protect convicted lawmakers was "nonsense" and, in his personal opinion, "should be torn up and thrown away".

PM, Obama to meet amid U.S. concerns over liability law

the nuclear liability law, the signing of a pre-early-works agreement between nuclear supplier companies in the U.S. and Indias nuclear operator, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), appeared imminent on the eve of Mr. Singhs visit. However, there does not appear to be any official planned timeframe within which an actual deal could be inked between U.S. nuclear suppliers and the NPCIL, which could lead to the production of safe nuclear energy within the terms of Indian law. The administration official this week said that in a complex relationship such as the one that existed between New Delhi and Washington, there would always be areas where room for more progress, existed, and in this case those areas include concerns that the U.S. government and corporations have
7 HOW WILL SYRIA'S CHEMICAL WEAPONS BE DESTROYED?

that third parties such as the US, France and the UK will provide the OPCW with intelligence-derived information to assist with its investigations. Indeed, Syria has been the subject of intense scrutiny by external intelligence agencies in recent months because of concerns over both chemical use and the security of the weapons themselves. The extent to which Syrias declaration matches up with what the OPCW subsequently finds on the ground will provide an important signal of the regimes intent to live up to its commitment to chemically disarm. Any major discrepancies between the declaration and what the OPCW finds will create a lack of confidence in the regimes CWC undertaking. Comparisons would be made with Iraqs Full Final and Complete Declarations of the 1990s which were repeatedly proven incorrect by the UN weapons inspection process.
WASHINGTON, SEP 27: Hours before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh landed in the U.S. to hold what is likely to be his final official meeting with President Barack Obama, a senior administration official said the White House continued to have specific concerns regarding Indias nuclear liability law. In a background call with the media, the official however firmly pushed back on any notion that the bilateral rela-
tionship had plateaued, arguing that Fridays Oval Office meeting between the two heads of government would be a short working visit that would address a wide range of bilateral issues and set out a roadmap for the path ahead into the 21st century, that would also consider the post-2014-elections scenario in India. While progress with the landmark civilian nuclear energy agreement slowed after India adopted
regarding certain Indian economic policies. While the Obama administration has pointed out that contentious issues of the past, including nuclear energy, defence, and clean energy cooperation, were now centre-pieces of the relationship today, India is also likely to use the occasion of Mr. Singhs visit to flag its concerns. Specifically, New Delhi has continued to worry about the potential adverse impact that the comprehensive immigration reform bill currently working its way through the U.S. Congress could have on businesses employing skilled Indian workers. In this regard, the White House pushed back this week saying that Indian nationals were the largest recipients of H-1B and L1 visas by a wide margin and, contrarily, the legislation under consideration brings significant benefits to Indian nationals.
SYRIA, SEP 27: Bashar Assads decision to sign up Syria to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) earlier this month committed his country to verifiably give up the possession of chemical weapons and their production capabilities. Other countries with chemical weapons Albania, India, Iraq, Libya, Russia, South Korea and the US have previously signed up to the CWC and similarly committed themselves to destroying the weapons and associated manufacturing facilities, and to do so within a set timescale. That the US and Russia have yet to complete the destruction of their chemical weapons, and have overrun their deadlines for doing so, places into context the significant challenges likely to be associated with such a process in Syria. The delay in the US and Russia is primarily explained by safety concerns, and the associated costs of destroying chemical agents
and related munitions in a safe and secure manner in specialised facilities. It will be the responsibility of the Hague-based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) the international organisation set up to verify signatory states compliance with the Convention to verify the process of disarmament in Syria. This process will involve a series of steps, similar to that performed by UN inspectors in Iraq in the 1990s when the Saddam Hussein regime was ordered by the UN Security Council to dis-
mantle all WMD and related production capability following the 1990-91 Gulf War. HOW THE PROCESS WORKS First of all Syria has to provide a declaration of its current chemical weapons holdings and production facilities. This declaration will provide the OPCW with the basis upon which to begin verifying and accounting for Syrias chemical weapons capability. The declaration will then be subject to investigation by the OPCW. This will primarily involve onsite inspections, although it can be expected
TEPCO seeks 2 more restarts of nuke reactors

TOKYO: Tokyo Electric Power Co. requested on Friday that safety inspections be carried out to allow it to restart two nuclear reactors, despite concerns over how it has handled the catastrophe at the Fukushima plant. All of Japans 50 nuclear reactors are offline while regulators consider restarts under safety rules revised after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami caused meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. Restarts will require approvals from the Nuclear Regulation Authority and local governments. The request to restart two reactors at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, in Niigata Prefecture on the Japan Sea coast, brings to 14 the number of reactors that utilities want assessed. The plant is the worlds largest atomic power plant, whose seven reactors have a combined output capacity of 8.2 million kilowatts.
Pakistan could explore free trade agreement with India

KARACHI, SEP 27: First Indo-Pak joint venture takes off Pakistan has indicated that it could explore the possibility of having an free trade agreement (FTA) with India on the lines of the one it signed with Indonesia recently, but both sides have to grab the golden opportunity of ensuring peace and friendship sentiment and not let it slip away under pressure from non-state actors. Pakistans Minister of State for Commerce and Privatisation, Engineer Dastgir Khurram Khan told a group of visiting Indian journalists that the democratically elected Nawaz Sharif government has been strongly pitching for peace with India and it is probably for the first time that general elections in Pakistan were not fought on anti-India sentiment or propaganda. We should not let this golden opportunity slip away. Both sides should work to promote economic and trade activity and we could, after a period of consolidation, explore the possibility of having an FTA with India. We recently signed a preferential trade agreement with Indonesia and I see no reason why the same cannot be concluded with our neighbor India. We should not allow third countries to tap the huge trade potential that both India and Pakistan have and move forward politically and economically for the benefit of people of both nations, he remarked. Mr. Khan said investors from both India and Pakistan would not make any big investment commitments till they are assured of backing and stability from the political establishment of their respective countries. We are happy to note that visas are being given in a more liberal way to businessmen and on long term. But we would need to fast-track this process and also show progress on issuing visas to senior citizens of Pakistan as was decided under the new visa regime. This will give fillip to people to people exchange and thereby increased economic engagement, he said. Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Muhammad Haroon Agar said, India needs to work on the timelines taken for customs clearances and also setting up laboratories for testing facilities on the border as such bottlenecks hindered exports and imports. We have issues on duty on textiles exported from Pakistan to India and stakeholders are already in talks to resolve this, he added.
17 killed, several injured in Pakistan bus bombing

PESHAWAR, SEP 27: zA bomb exploded in the back of a bus carrying government employees in northern Pakistan on Friday, killing 17 people and wounding dozens, officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility but militants battling the government in northwestern Pakistan often target troops, officials and symbols of the state. The bomb went off as the bus was traveling through the outskirts of the city of Peshawar, the provincial capital. It was carrying employees at the end of the work week back to their home city of Charsadda. The explosion also wounded 42 people, said police officer Arif Khan. Pakistani television showed images of the bus with its tail end completely mangled.
Nawaz Sharif admits challenge of terrorism along Pak-Afghan border

WASHINGTON, SEP 27: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, acknowledged that the issue of crossborder terrorism poses a challenge to his country as well as Afghanistan. Mr. Sharifs acknowledgement on this issue came during his meeting with Mr. Kerry in New York on Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, wherein the two leaders discussed bilateral relationship, the peace process in Afghanistan and Mr. Sharifs upcoming Washington trip to meet President Barack Obama. We expressed our concern about the existence of effective safe havens on both sides was a threat to both societies. They are in a process at this point of seeking negotiations with the leading militant group that is targeting Pakistan, but they also are looking at alternatives, including more vigorous police and military action, should those negotiations fail, the official said. And those actions wouldnt necessarily be limited exclusively to TTP (Pakistani Taliban), particularly since the TTP operates in the same areas as many of these militant groups that target externally, the official said. The weekend meeting between Mr. Sharif and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New York did not crop up during the talks.
of the border and stressed that this, as I said, was a mutual problem. The Prime Minister acknowledged that this was a problem, a challenge, and a threat to Pakistani security, a senior State Department official told reporters after the meeting. Responding to questions, the official said Mr. Sharif acknowledged the problem of cross-border militancy

India ready to address US Govt clears 15 FDI proposals concerns over trade, investment worth Rs 2,000.5 crore
WASHINGTON, SEP 27: India on Friday expressed keenness in addressing concerns of the US with regard to investments and economic reforms in a "candid, open and transparent" manner but wants Washington to take care of visa issues which have implications for its IT sector. Indian Ambassador Nirupma Rao said the country will take care of the US concerns in "a candid manner, open and transparent manner. We would like US to understand the development challenges that India faces, the situation in which we live in terms of the environment around us". The US side, she added, "has some issues that it has raised from time to time, related to investments and economic reforms process in India". Among the major pending issues, the US has been pressing for further opening progress made in the relationship but also set the pace and scope of the ties between the two largest democracies of the world and help accelerate the momentum of the cooperation, Rao said at a media briefing. With regard to the proposed changes in the non-immigrant visa rules that would affect H1B visas, she said though the issue is "still work in progress", the Indian side has voiced concern with US lawmakers. She said if these restrictions become a reality, then the Indian IT professionals will be affected considering the kind of business module Indian companies have. "We have been candid. Our concern is understood by our interlocutors but don't know what will happen... We don't know what the final shape will be," she added. NEW DELHI, SEP 27: The Finance Ministry on Friday said it has approved 15 foreign investment proposals totalling Rs 2,000.5 crore and recommended two FDI applications, including that of US drug major Mylan, for final Cabinet clearance. The 15 proposals were cleared following recommendations by Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) on August 27. "In addition, two proposals viz., M/s IDFC Trustee Company Ltd, as proposed Trustee for India Infrastructure Fund II, Mumbai and M/s Mylan Inc. USA amounting to Rs 10,668 crore, have been recommended for consideration of Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs," the Finance Ministry said. Proposals which have been cleared include that of Jubilant Pharma Pte, Singapore (Rs 1145.10
of the insurance sector. A bill to increase the FDI cap in insurance from 26 percent to 49 percent has been pending in Parliament since 2008. India, according to Rao, would take up the visa issue with the US administration which has a direct bearing on the IT sector in India. "Trade grew rapidly in the recent years, touching USD 100 billion. Services is the engine of growth. This is why
the ongoing discussion Comprehensive Immigration Reforms Bill and that aspect of the reforms that touches the skilled IT professionals from India have been receiving our close attention. So, this will be flagged," she said, referring to the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and US President Barack Obama. The Obama-Singh meeting would not only review the
crore), Lotus Surgical Specialities (Rs 150 crore), Symbiotec Pharmalab (Rs 306.19 crore) and Advanced Enzyme Technologies (Rs 200 crore). The Ministry further said it has deferred decisions on 10 FDI proposals, including that of Hindustan Coca-Cola Holdings Pvt Ltd, HBO India Pvt Ltd, P5 Asia
Holding Investments (Mauritius) Ltd, Australia Asia Resources LLP (USA) and Dhanlaxmi Infrastructure Pvt Ltd. US-based Mylan Inc proposes to acquire Agila Specialties Pvt Ltd -- a subsidiary of pharma firm Strides Arcolab. It involves FDI worth Rs 5,168 crore. According to a 'Share
Purchase Agreement', Mylan would acquire entire issued and outstanding share capital of Agila Specialities Pvt Ltd. IDFC Trustee Company Ltd has sought government approval to set up an Alternate Investment Fund (AIF) category I and for receiving contributions from international investors.

also which are driving inflation," the RBI Governor said. The RBI in the last monteary policy review had unexpectedly hiked repo rate by 25 basis point to 7.50 percent to arrest rising inflation. In 30-share Sensex, 24 stocks declined led by SBI, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, HDFC Ltd., Larsen and Toubro, NTPC, BHEL, Bharti Airtel, Maruti, Dr Reddy, Hindalco, Tata Motors and Tata Power. Sectorally, the BSE Banking sector index suffered the most by losing 1.83 percent, followed by Metal index (1.61 percent), Realty index (1.48 percent) and Capital goods index (1.42 percent). Brokers said buying activity slowed also down as investors turned cautious ahead of the current account deficit data on Monday and a weak trend in the global stock markets.
Govt likely to announce steps to revive export units

NEW DELHI, SEP 27: The government is likely to soon announce measures to revive investor interest in Export Oriented Units (EOUs), a move that will help boost shipments overseas and contain current account deficit. Officials from the Commerce and Revenue department have already held several rounds of meetings on the recommendations of a committee to revamp the 30-year old EOU scheme. "We are considering several steps including simplification of procedures for EOUs. The steps will help in making EOUs more investors friendly as investments in these units have declined over the period," a senior official in the commerce ministry told the agency. Besides, revival of these units would help boost India's exports and reduce CAD, the difference between the inflows and outgo of foreign exchange. CAD touched a record high of 4.8 percent of GDP in 2012-13. During AprilAugust, India's exports grew by 3.89 percent to USD 124.4 billion. After expiry of tax benefits for the EOUs, the government in 2011 had set up a committee under the chairmanship of S C Panda, D e v e l o p m e n t Commissioner, Noida SEZ, to revamp the scheme in sync with the changing business environment and gel with the Special Economic Zones. The committee had recommended 32 measures which included host of tax incentives like exemption from customs duty, central excise and service tax. "However, the government is unlikely to provide any kind tax incentives to EOUs. The government is mulling to provide investment-linked incentives to these units ," ting up their units for export purpose. The objective was to encourage additional production capacity in manufacturing sector by attracting foreign investment and create employment in the country.

4 WI A sitting pretty after spinners wreak havoc on India A Yuvraj shines again as India Blue win by 11 runs
SPORTS
MYSORE: Opener Kieran Powell's half century along with spinners Veerasammy Permaul and Nikita Miller's magical spell, tightened the West Indies A grip over India A on the third day of the first unofficial Test at Gangothri Glades Cricket Grounds on Friday. At stumps, the visitors were 130 for three in reply to the hosts' first innings total of 245 all out, a huge lead of 314 runs. Captain Kirk Edwards and Chadwick Walton were unbeaten on nine and zero respectively at the draw of stumps. Riding high on extraordinary bowling performance by their spin duo, West Indies openers began their second innings with supreme confidence. Both Kraigg Brathwaite and Powell put on 112 runs partnership for the first wicket. While Brathwaite was cautious in his approach, Powell, who has been out of form in the series so far, came out
with a positive frame of mind. Unlike in his earlier knocks, Powell adopted an aggressive approach and belted wayward Indian attack by scoring 68 in 88 balls with nine boundaries and a six, before he was caught and bowled by spinner Rajat Paliwal. On the same score of 112, first innings hero Parvez Rasool packed off Brathwaite for 34 off 88 balls with five boundaries to his name. Rasool celebrated his seventh wicket of the match
when he disturbed Narsing Deonarine's furniture after he had made nine off 12 balls. Earlier in the day, Indian batsmen did not have any answer to the magical spell of Miller and Permaul, who wreaked havoc despite overnight batsmen - Manpreet Juneja and Harshad Khadiwale - gave some resistence. Permaul grabbed five wickets for 85 while Miller claimed four for 61 as they saw the later Indian batsmen fall like a pack of
cards. Juneja was the top-scorer with 84 off 151 balls. His innings was laced with eleven boundaries. However, the other batsmen could not hold on and fell like a pack of cards. Resuming their overnight first innings score of 124 for three, India added forty more runs before Permaul trapped Juneja leg before. Soon India lost two more wickets in the form of Paliwal (1) and Khadiwale (27), leaving India at 186 for six and a recovery from this stage looked a far cry. Permaul, unlike the Indian bowlers, rattled the Indian tailenders - Mohammad Shami, Ishwar Pandey and Ashoke Dinda - by packing them off to the hut in quick succession. It would be interesting to know whether Edwards would look to push for a win as he had not declared the West Indies innings at close of play.

Iyer's ton helps India colts enter final of quadrangular series

V I S A K H A PAT N A M : Shreyas Iyer smashed a quick-fire century to help Indian colts beat Australia by 18 runs in a rain-curtailed encounter and enter the finals of the Under-19 Quadrangular tournament on Friday. With this victory, India U-19 rounded off their league engagements unbeaten, winning all three of their matches. They had earlier beaten South Africa and Zimbabwe. Iyer sizzled with the bat as he hit 109 off just 67 balls, studded with 10 fours and six sixes to steer the hosts to a massive 321 for five. He also stitched a valuable 170-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Ricky Bhui (66 67b, 6X4, 2X6) to take the team past the 300-run mark. Even opener Akhil Herwadkar chipped in with a half-century to contribute to the team's success. In reply, the Australians had reached 156 for three in 30 overs before rain stopped play and the Indians won via the Duckworth-Lewis method. Opting to bat, the Indians got off to a decent start with openers Ankush Bains (20) and Herwadkar (56) giving the team a platform to build on. After Bains' dismissal, Vijay Zol (38) continued in the able company of Herwadkar. Iyer, started to dominate from the start and did not show any mercy to the Australian bowlers during his innings. Iyer and Bhui sent the Aussie bowlers on a leather hunt with some fine batting. It was Ben Ashkenazi who claimed the prized wicket of Iyer, while Matthew Fotia saw off Bhui but by that time the damage was done and the hosts were in control on 300 for five.
INDORE: Yuvraj Singh bludgeoned his way to a 56ball 84 and gave the national selectors another timely reminder of his worth even asAbhishek Nayar slammed a 39-ball 75 to take India Blue to the final with a 11run win over India Red in the NKP Salve Challenger Series on Friday. Sent into bat, India Blue posted an imposing 345 for four before bowling out the opposition for 334 in 49.5 overs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium. The match was as good as over for India Red with the Yusuf Pathan-led side needing 38 in the last two overs. However, Umesh Yadav and Shabhaz Nadeem hit a flurry of boundaries to nearly lead their side to what would have been an improbable win. They collected 15 runs off Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bring the equation down to 23 of six balls. R Vinay Kumar was smashed for a six and a four before Umesh Yadav lost the steam. Earlier, both Yuvraj and opener P Akshat Reddy scored 84 runs each, but the left-handed skipper enjoyed a strike rate of over 150 as he

Nayar then tormented the rival bowlers with his fiery unbeaten knock that came off a mere 39 balls, and had a strike rate that was close to 200. Yuvraj and Nayar plundered 151 runs in just 13 overs in their fourth wicket partnership, which ended with the former's run out in the last over of the innings. Yuvraj now has one century and three half-centuries in his last five matches. He was handed a lifeline by the BCCI by including him in the
Blues to bat seemed all right as they had kept the rival batsmen under a tight leash and had also scalped Naman Ojha cheaply at the start. However, their joy was shortlived as Reddy found a good partner in Manish Pandey, who contributed 70 off 86 balls with the help of seven fours and two sixes. The duo put the side batting first in the driver's seat with a mix of determined and fearless batting. They raised a 143-run stand for the second wicket, setting the stage for Yuvraj and Nayar to rip apart the bowlers in the slog overs.
The two batsmen hammered the bowlers all around the park as India Blue scored 162 runs in the last 15 overs. Nayar hit six fours and four sixes in his knock. None of the Red bowlers could make an impact and pacer Suraj Yadav was the most expensive as he bled 84 runs in his 10 overs. Chasing a formidable total, India Red gave a good account of themselves but fell short after a fighting effort. Abhinav Mukund topscored with 83 off 86 balls, hitting nine fours and a six. Smit Patel made 67 but retired hurt after facing 83 balls while striking six fours. Kedar Jadhav smashed 49 off 40 balls with the help of five fours and a six. The chase only got difficult when Yusuf Pathan made a hasty exit, falling to Yuvraj for 1. Ishank Jaggi (34) led a spirited lower-order resistance but the target proved to be a little too much for them. For India Blue, Vinay Kumar picked up four wickets, but conceded 76 runs in 10.5 overs, while Iresh Saxena and Piyush Chawla took two wickets apiece.

KUALA LUMPUR: Indian women at least has something to cheer about after missing out on a berth in next year's World Cup as they defeated China via penalty shootout to clinch the bronze medal in the eighth women's Asia Cup hockey tournament on Friday. India, who needed to win the tournament to qualify for next year's World Cup to be held at The Hague, Netherlands, edged past China 3-2 in the shootout after both the teams were locked 2-2 at the regulation time.

China pulled one back in the 51st minute through Yan Yan's field goal to liven up the match. The Indians had themselves to blame as some sloppy defending towards the end allowed China to draw parity when Wu Mengrong scored the equaliser in the 64th minute. Thereafter, both the teams played cautiously in the last six minutes to take the encounter into shootout. In the shootout, the Indians came out on top, converting three of their chances as against two by the Chinese girls.

Recession boosts investment in management education

NEW DELHI, SEPT 27: At the times of economic gloom, it is boom time for B-schools. And India is the driving force in the increase in number of application in 24% of the 683 management programmes across 42 countries. In the US 52% of the full-time management programmes have seen increased interest, while in the Asia-Pacific region it is 53%. The biggest draw however is Europe with 73% of the programme receiving more applications than in 2012. Back home, CAT 2013 has so far received 1,93,596 registrations till Wednesday. Registration ends on Thursday midnight. As per Graduate Management Admission Council's 2013 Applications Trends Survey more full-time MBA programmes worldwide saw increases in the number of applications this year compared with that of last year. According to GMAC, which administers Graduate Management Admission Test ( GMAT), full-time, two-year MBA programmes in the US show an upswing, as 52% of programmes report application increases over 2012- the first time since 2009. This year's survey included 683 graduate-level programmes in business and management at 328 B-schools in 42 different countries. In Europe, Master in Management programmes continue to show strength, as 73% of programmes report application increases from 2012. Meanwhile, 38% of Europe's full-time one-year MBA programmes showed application gains this year, comparable to the 37% in last year's survey. India drove the greatest increase in source of talent 24% of the 683 programmes received higher number of applications from the subcontinent. According to Bibek Banerjee, director, Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad, this is a common phenomenon and the reason for increased number of application from India is due to limited number of quality Bschools in the country. "It is basically economics of opportunity. It is a worldwide phenomenon, where demand, especially for management education, goes up during recession. Whenever the market is drying up it is good to invest in education. In the context of India, after 60 years of independence, we still have no good management university with the exception of a few IIMs, ISB and the likes of IMT which can recruit just around 8,000 candidates annually. In India the gap between the top tier and middle rung institutions is enormous. So what is the alternative, but to explore opportunities abroad," said Banerjee. Recession spells boom for management education said GMAC vice president, research and development, Lawrence Rudner. "In 2008 and 2009, early in the Great Recession, there wasimpressive growth in the proportion of full-time MBA programmes showing increase in applications. In 2010 and 2011, there was a subsequent decline, but full-time programmes began to rebound in 2012 and look even sturdier today," said Rudner.

No more medical colleges in Bangalore

BANGALORE, SEPT 27: The government has decided to change the norms for setting up medical colleges in the state and will entertain no new medical college in Bangalore. "We are framing a new policy to do away with old rules of establishing medical colleges across the state,'' law minister TB Jayachandra said after the cabinet meeting on Thursday. The cabinet sub-committee which met to clear four new applications decided to frame new rules after they found serious irregularities in the application forms of four proposals for new medical colleges. "The applications processed by Rajiv Gandhi University of Medical Sciences did not have essential information on trust members involved in setting up the colleges. One college has no building and land but still they wanted permission. This is ridiculous. If necessary, we will initiate action against them,'' he added.
Konkani Wikipedia from Goa University in 6 months

PANAJI, SEPT 27: Piles of the thick four volumes of Konkani vishwakosh or encyclopedia waiting to be picked up by users at the Goa University (GU) will now attain a modern avatar. The volumes, work on which was first started by renowned Goan writer and academician late Manoharrai Sardessaiat GU, will not only be available in digitized format, but will form the base for a Konkani Wikipedia. Goa University has become the first varsity in the country to enter into a creative commons licence that will allow data produced and copyrighted by an Indian university available to internet users and open to modification, making GU a champion of sorts of free knowledge. The Konkani Wikipedia is expected to be ready for use within six months, officials said. The university has signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with the Centre for Internet and Society's Access to Knowledge Programme, which represents Wikipedia in India, for the Konkani Wikipedia project. "Professors, students and anyone with expertise or love for Konkani can come forward to help with the project for which training will be provided. Information in the Konkani vishwakosh will also be updated as per the current developments," Vishnu Vardhan of the centre said. The Wikipedia is the fourth most used property on the internet after Google, Facebook and Yahoo, which acts as an internet based encyclopedia where any of the users can upload new information or update or modify an existing chapter. The Konkani Wikipedia too will offer similar privileges to users and GU's Konkani department and the centre will oversee the process from the university campus. "The Konkani vishwakosh covers all realms of knowledge like any other encyclopedia. The Konkani Wikipedia will act as a digitized repository of knowledge for future generations and Konkani speakers across the world. I look forward to the pleasure of going to the internet and clicking away to access a Konkani Wikipedia," GU vice-chancellor Satish Shetye said. Shetye said that GU is glad to associate with Wikipedia which has become a global phenomenon and broken the monopoly of publishers and converted distribution of knowledge into a democratic process. "At present, it takes time for a page with information in a regional language to download because they are usually found in the form of scanned pages, which are accessible as images and not text. The Konkani Wikipedia will make the text accessible as is the case of any English text on the internet," GU registrar Vijayendra Kamat said. tnn The Konkani vishwakosh was created over a period of 14 years. Edited by late Manoharrai Sardessai and later Tanaji Halarnkar. GU staffers Ranjan Naik, Kalpana Naik, Kanchan Mordekar, Surekha Naik, Mukesh Thali and Shailendra Mehta contributed to the compilation process. Contains four large volumes of 3,632 of total pages. Konkani vishwakosh or encyclopedia encompasses world information in a nutshell with special emphasis on Goa, Konkani, Goan culture, folklore, history, geography etc. Wikipedia is available in 20 Indian languages including Telugu, Assamese, Marathi, but not in Konkani so far. Students, professors and anyone interested in contributing to the project can do so by enrolling online at bit.ly/konkanivishwakosh before October 5.

LUCKNOW, SEPT 27: The Uttar Pradesh government has cleared setting up of three private medical colleges in the state, an official said on Friday. A decision to allow these medical colleges at Mathura, Lucknow and Mainpuri was taken at the steering committee meeting presided over by the chief secretary Jawed Usmani. Officials said initial objections were made on naming the Mathura medical college as SN medical college but the differences between officials were ironed out. The objection was that SN medical college is the name of
the government medical college, operating in Agra for many decades. All formalities of opening a medical college in Mainpuri - the parliamentary constituency of the Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, were also completed. A proposal to open the MC Saxena medical college in Lucknow also got the approval of the committee. Owing to the ban on opening up of dental colleges, the proposal to increase the seats of BDS was kept in abeyance and would be taken up at the next meeting of the steering committee.
