New Delhi, December 14
The two recent incidents of
alleged attacks on Dalits in
Punjab today reverberated
in Parliament with the Congress and BSP demanding
the dismissal of the SADBJP government.
The heinous incident of
chopping off arms and feet of
a Dalit worker at a farmhouse
of an Akali Dal leader in Abohar and crushing of a young
girl under a SAD leaders
bus at Lambi, led to repeated
adjournments of the House
through the day.
Leader of the Opposition in
the Rajya Sabha Ghulam
Nabi Azad said these incidents showed the prevalence
of jungle raaj in Punjab. He
said what was happening was
worse than terrorism and
there was no law and order in
the state. "The state government should be dismissed...
we are not just demanding
action (against the accused),
we are talking about dismissal
of the government, he said.
BSP chief Mayawati criticised the SAD-BJP coalition
government for its inability to prevent atrocities on
Dalits. The incidents were
both "painful and shameful",
she said blaming the liquor
mafia for the Abohar incident where the limbs of a
Dalit worker were chopped
off as part of a conspiracy.

On a day when External
Affairs Minister Sushma
Swaraj made a strong pitch
for resuming dialogue with
Pakistan, a Hurriyat delegation met Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit here.
The meeting was to primarily discuss the resumption of
dialogue between India and
Pakistan and also to convey
the message to Basit to maintain a consistent policy on
Kashmir. This message was
delivered by the Hurriyat
delegation on behalf of its
chief Syed Ali Geelani.
It cannot be lost on anyone
that this will be a setback to
the goodwill earned just a
few days ago in Islamabad.
India has consistently maintained that the Hurriyat
cannot be treated as a third
party to the talks and that
Kashmir is a bilateral issue
which needs to be sorted out
between India and Pakistan. The Pakistan envoy
by holding this meeting
today and raising the K
card has attempted to bring
the spotlight back on Kashmir in the Indo-Pak dialogue. Swaraj, in her Parliament statement today, tried
doing just the opposite.
Hours after their meeting,
the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) issued a
press statement in Srinagar

which had acceded to India, is now under the illegal
occupation of the Pakistan army, he said
In the broader sense, he said Kashmir would be part
of talks with Pakistan. So when you say what is it that
India is going to discuss, it is the part of that state
which is still under the control of Pakistan, he said PTI

GS Paul
Amritsar, December 14
The management of the
UAE gurdwara, where an
amended ardas was recited recently, today apologised to the Akal Takht.
Surjit Singh, president
of Awir Gurdwara Sahib,
Dubai, emailed the clarification and the apology to
the Akal Takht, adding the
blunder was committed in
his absence.
The matter was discussed
at a meeting of the Takht
heads at the Akal Takht
Secretariat today. Several
intellectuals were also
invited to the meeting to
deliberate over the issue.
Later, the Takht heads
decided to place the matter
under consideration. The
final call will be taken in

The UAE gurdwara had
landed itself in a controversy recently after an

amended ardas was recited there. Priests at the gurdwara reportedly made
some changes in the first
line and the concluding
part of the ardas.
The amended ardas was
performed at a programme
held in November, when former Akal Takht Jathedar
Prof Darshan Singh, who
was ex-communicated for his
alleged utterances against a

Sikh Guru, was there to
preach religious ethics.
Taking cognisance of it, the
Akal Takht jathedar had
called up an emergency meeting of Takht heads and also
invited several intellectuals to
deliberate over the issue.
Meanwhile, in view of the
discrimination
against
Sikhs in the US, the UK and
other Western countries,
the Akal Takht has directed
the constitutionally elected
Sikh representatives in
overseas governments to
spread awareness about the
Sikh religion in schools, colleges and universities.
In another case related to

I realised at least one generation had lost out on good
careers because of abysmally
poor education system. A
majority of them is unemployed. Negligible pass percentage at the class XII level,
particularly in science streams
at government schools, reflects
the sorry state of affairs.
It would be a Herculean task
to redeem the situation in the
state. The Akalis have
destroyed Punjab almost
beyond redemption, he said,
while referring to the debt figures of over Rs 1.25 lakh crore.

Swaraj Lehar: Rallies

a waste of resources
AAP breakaway faction
Swaraj Lehar today condemned the scheduled SAD
and Congress rallies on
Tuesday, calling it politics of
"muscle power".
In a press release, Prof Manjit
Singh, convener of Swaraj
Lehar, said the competition
between different political par-
ties to gather crowds in their rallies was nothing but a show of

muscle power and reminisced
of feudal states. He said it not
only took the attention away
from the real issues of Punjab,
but also amounted to waste of
resources. He said the money
required to organise such massive rallies threw smaller parties out of the race. TNS

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING
Badal govt agrees to Centres

bailout package for discoms
Manish Sirhindi
Patiala, December 14
The Punjab Government
has communicated its inapproval to the Ministry of
Power (MoP) to join Ujwal
Discom Assurance Yojana
(UDAY)
for
financial
restructuring of the state
power corporation. The government had earlier turned
down two bailout packages
offered by the Centre in the
past 13 years to rescue power distributions companies
of the heavy debt burden.
The Centre had recently
cleared a rescue plan for
loss-making state electricity distribution companies
(discoms) under UDAY and
the state had stepped forward to accept the same to
tackle the rising debt of
state power utilities.
Sources said Punjab was
the seventh state to accept
the bailout package.
While remedies suggested
in the package would be difficult for the state government to implement in view
of the Assembly elections
scheduled in 2017 since it
involves increasing power
tariffs, the government still
What it means
Punjab

restructuring of state power corporation under the

The state will have to take over 75% of the debts of the
power crop in the next two years, with 50% by the end
of March 2016
It will have the facility of a concessional interest rate of

9 per cent in servicing the loans, compared to the present 13-14% on outstanding debt

The Punjab and Haryana
High Court has made it clear
that it was imperative for
authorities concerned to consider claims of 1984 anti-Sikh
riot victims in a time-bound
manner, if benefit under the
government policies has not
been granted to them.
This comes on a petition
filed by Sat Pal Singh
against Punjab and other
respondents. In his petition
before the Bench of Justice
Surya Kant and Justice Hari
Pal Verma, Sat Pal Singh had
sought directions to the
respondents for allotment of
a booth site to him on the
plea that he was a riot victim.
Appearing before the Bench,
his counsel added the petitioner was entitled to such
allotment under various government polices.
Taking up the matter, the
Bench referred to High
Court decisions in the case of
Kuljit Singh and others versus Punjab and another; and
The Greater Mohali Area
Development Authority versus Kuljit Singh and others.
Needless to say that firstly
the respondent-authorities
are required to determine
cent in servicing the loans,

compared to the present 1314 per cent interest rate on
outstanding debt. The state
will issue bonds at 0.5 per
cent to generate additional
funds.
Sources said billing efficiency in Punjab was
around 83 per cent, revenue
collection efficiency 99 per
cent and Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C)
losses around 18 per cent.
In case the state is able to
bring down AT&C losses to
10 per cent by 2018-19, the
saving would be around Rs
2,500 crore.
The sources said besides
improving the financial
health of the discoms, the
bailout package also aimed
at streamlining operational
efficiencies and reduce
interest burden along with
cost of power and AT&C
losses to help power companies perk up their finances.
The Union power minister
in his recent statement had
stated all banks with exposure to discoms were fully
participating in the scheme.
He had also congratulated
and welcomed Punjab in
UDAY scheme.
LIQUOR VENDS ON HIGHWAYS
Take time-bound action

If the petitioner is a riot victim and no benefit
under the government policies, referred to by this

court in the decisions, has been granted to him, it is
imperative upon the authorities to consider such
claim in a time-bound manner
An HC Bench
whether the petitioner is a

bona fide riot-affected person and whether any red
card has been issued to him
in recognition of such status?
The second issue that
would arise for determination is whether any such
benefit allotment of residential or commercial site
has been extended to the
petitioner or his family at a
concession in accordance
with the government policies they being the riotaffected person?
Suffice to observe that if
the petitioner is a riot victim
and no benefit under the government policies, referred to
by this court in the decisions,
has been granted to him, it is
imperative upon the authorities to consider such claim in
a time-bound manner, the
Bench added.

WTO: Farmers to Centre
Sarbjit Dhaliwal
What developed nations oppose
With the 10th Ministerial
Conference of WTO scheduled to begin in Nairobi
tomorrow, various farmer
organisations are lobbying
the Modi Government to
protect their interests.
Agriculture is on top of the
agenda at the WTO meet since
many related issues have
been hanging fire for years in
the absence of consensus. The
WTO meeting will continue
till December 18.
The developed countries
such as the US are not prepared to cut subsidies to
farmers, but on the other
hand, it is pressing the developing countries to do away
with even small government
support extended to farmers.
A lobby of developed
countries, led by the US,
has been urging the developing countries to withdraw domestic support
such as minimum support
price on foodgrain. They
also demand that the
developing countries open
their markets for them.
The developed countries
also want that tax concessions, credit, etc., given to
farmers and traders exporting foodgrain be done away

ers entitlement in the light

of the decisions before taking an appropriate decision
in accordance with law and
government policies. For the
purpose, the High Court set
a four-month deadline.
Nearly three decades after
then Prime Minister Indira
Gandhis assassination led
to riots, the High Court had
earlier made divisional
commissioner of each district responsible for deciding claim cases and ordered
the constitution of a committee to decide appeals.
Disposing of a bunch of

the committee would decide
appeals of victims unsatisfied with the Divisional

State, Haryana excise

chiefs summoned
The Punjab and Haryana
High Court today summoned Excise and Taxation
Commissioners of Punjab
and Haryana for the
alleged failure of the
authorities concerned to
stop the functioning of
liquor vends along the
highways in both states.
The two officers have been
asked to appear in person
before the high court on
December 21. They are
expected to explain why
liquor vends continue to
function along the highways
despite court directions.
As the petition filed in public interest by ArriveSafe
Society through its president Harman Singh Sidhu
came up for the resumed
hearing today, the Bench
headed by Justice A K Mittal
passed the orders after going

through media reports on
liquor vends along the highways running in violations of
the directions. The Bench
observed that a welfare
state should not be so
adamant in implementing
the court directions issued
for public cause.
Taking a dig at the Punjab
Government for considerations other than road safety,
the high court, on the previous date of hearing, had
verbally asked it to open
liquor vend in the state secretariat. It had satirically
observed a vend in the secretariat would help the government generate revenue
during the lunch time.
The HC had earlier directed the Punjab Excise and
taxation Commissioner to
file an affidavit that there
were no vends in violation
of its orders.
Dont file pleas

sans merit, HC
tells insurers
In a judgment that will help
change the way insurance
companies contest awards
passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunals, the
high court has asked them to
give a serious thought
before filing petitions.
It asked insurers to settle disputes instead of wasting money and energy on petitions san
merit. The advice by Justice
Surinder Gupta came on a
first appeal against orders
passed by Oriental Insurance
Company Limited against
Suman and other respondents.
It had challenged the compensation of ~4.7 lakh awarded by the claims tribunal in
the death of a minor in an
accident. It is unfortunate
that the insurance firms are
spending their energy in filing appeals in such cases
and thereby, adding to their
expenses instead of settling
disputes, the court said.
Though the right of an
insurance firm to file an
appeal cannot be taken away
in any case, being in the public service and in the interest
of society, the insurers are
required to give a serious
thought while spending public money on such litigation,
Justice Gupta said. He said
the appeal was lacking merit
and was dismissed. TNS
The
procurement of buffer stock
The
special safeguard mechanism, which lets developing countries raise the import duty on foodgrain to prevent a fall in domestic price
with. The burning issues at

the Nairobi meet are likely
to be public stockholding
and the Special Safeguard
Mechanism (SSM) that is
yet to be set up.
Countries like India maintain a huge buffer stock of
foodgrain for the
public distribution
system,
emergencies and
stabilisation of
price level. However, developed countries are not only
opposing the procurement
of such buffer stock
through MSP, but are also
against foodgrain being
stocked by the government.
Developed countries say
holding public stock was
against the spirit of free market and the philosophy of the
WTO. Hence, it should be
done away with because it
creates distortions in international free trade.
Under the peace clause, as
of now, countries like India
are allowed to maintain
public stockholding for
food security. It has been
felt that scrapping minimum support price system

would lead to exploitation
of the farming community.
The US and other developed
counties are also opposing the
SSM favoured by most developing countries. India wants
that the SSM proposal
be given top priority at
the meeting. Under the
SSM, developing countries will get the right to
raise the duties on the import
of foodgrain to prevent a fall in
domestic market price and to
protect the interest of farmers.
The Bharti Kisan Union,
led by Balbir Rajewal, and
another faction, led by
Ajmer Lakhowal, have
urged the Centre to protect
the interests of farmers at
the WTO meet. They have
also sent a four-member
delegation, led by BKU
leader Rakesh Tikait, to the
WTO meet in Nairobi.
Lakhowal said his organisation would watchthe proceedings and alert farmers
in case India compromise
on any of the issues.

The Phagwara police today
detained a youth for
allegedly posting a public
invite on Facebook for a
blood donation camp to
be organised in the memory of gangster Sukha
Kahlwan on January 21.
Kahlwan was allegedly shot
dead by a rival gang at Paddi
Khalsa village near Phagwara on January 21 this year
when he was being taken to a
Nabha jail after the hearing
in a Jalandhar court. He was
reportedly facing more than
40 cases of murder, dacoity
and robbery in Punjab,
Haryana and Rajasthan.
Phagwara DSP Manpreet
Singh Dhillon said they

had detained Preet, a resident of Daddal Mohala,
Phagwara, and investigation was on to identify other supporters of Sukha.
The camp invite was posted on the Facebook account
of Sukha Kahlon Sharp
Shooter on December 12.
It said: We are going to
organise a mela (fair) in the
memory of Sukha Kahlwan.
It is an open invitation for
all to visit at the mela.

Govt eyes high milk-yielding breeds
Yuvraj and Khali are the
names which every state
would love to flaunt. However, these names are proving
headache to the Punjab Government, at least at the animal husbandry front.
These are the names of
those bulls, who have won
prizes amounting several
lakhs in various livestock
fairs held in North in past
several years.
But what is troubling the
state Animal Husbandry
Department is the fact that
several private veterinary
quacks are fleecing small
dairy farmers by selling
semen straws, stating them
to be semen of prize-winning
bulls Yuvraj and Khali.
The
state is aspiring to develop high

milk-yielding breeds of Murrah and
Neeli Raavi buffaloes by using
semen of superior bulls
These
bulls are either reared in

state-run bull farms or by authorised bodies/firms
The Animal Husbandry Department favours that veterinarians

should prescribe semen of such
superior bulls only and artificial
insemination should be conducted on buffalos in compliance of
the state's breeding policy

For the past several

decades, the state is aspiring
to develop high milk-yielding
breeds of Murrah and Neeli
Raavi buffaloes by using
semen of some superior
bulls, who are either reared in
state-run bull farms or by
authorised bodies or firms.

The Animal Husbandry
Department favours that
veterinarians should prescribe semen of such superior bulls only and artificial
insemination (AI) should be
conducted on buffalos in
compliance of the states

breeding policy, which prescribes the particular type
of semen to specific buffalos species.
Dr HS Sandha, director,
Animal Husbandry Department, said, Selling semen
straw using names of popular bulls is prevalent in the

state. But, so far, there is no
law whereby we can ban
this practice. Now, we are
drafting a policy to curb it.
A senior veterinary officer,
requesting anonymity, said,
The prize-winning bulls
may be genetically superior
too. But, there should be
some authority that can
check whether the semen
being sold in Punjab villages
is actually of these bulls.
Admitting gravity of the
problem, the department
had in 2012-13 even constituted teams of veterinary
officers in each district and
directed them to seize the
unauthorised semen being
sold by private players. However, the drive lost its vigour
after the department had
seized semen straws near

Bhawanigarh town of Sangrur district that year.
There is a lacuna in the
Livestock Promotion Act,
1953, which doesnt bar private players from selling
semen of their bulls for AI,
said, Dr Ashok Sharma,
president, State Veterinary
Officers Association.
Karanvir Singh, who owns
popular Yuvraj bull, said, I
know demand of Yuvrajs
semen is high in Punjab. But
it is sad that quacks in Punjab
are selling inferior stuff by
using Yuvrajs name. Straws
carrying Yuvrajs semen bear
his and my name along with
certification by an authorised
laboratory. I advise dairy
farmers to keep empty straws
with them after AI conducted
on their buffalos.

FIR against cops who

booked 3 innocent
men for murder
Sunit Dhawan
Rohtak, December 14
The police have lodged an
FIR against eight police
officials, including a DSP,
an Inspector and a SubInspector, on the orders of
a local court. The Rohtak
police authorities had earlier attached the DSP to
the Police Lines and suspended an Inspector and a
Sub-Inspector for their
alleged role in falsely
booking three innocent
men in a murder case.
DSP Amarjeet Singh had
been attached to the local
Police Lines last month,
while Inspector Manoj Verma and Sub-Inspector
Sandeep Kumar were suspended after an internal
inquiry into the matter.
The persons who had
been found innocent were
released from jail after the
charges against them were
found untrue. However, no
case
was
registered
against the officials found
guilty in the matter, following which the acquitted men who had been
falsely implicated in the
case moved the court.
On courts orders, the
police have lodged an FIR
under Sections 166, 166-A,
193, 194, 195, 196, 211, 219,

Tribune Reporters
In the Nagina block alone,
we have three villages where

there are no eligible
candidates and marriages are
being hastily organised to
import educated girls.
HARYANA
Zakir Hussain, NUH MLA
Geetanjali Gayatri
We dont see any problem
in getting eligible candidates
PANCHAYAT ELECTIONS
While Haryanas villages
seem to struggle with finding eligible educated
women candidates for the
forthcoming
panchayat
elections and lack of toilets
weighs heavy on the minds
of candidates, particularly
in Mewat, the Harayana
Development and Panchayat Department doesnt, so
far, have a back-up plan for
wards and villages that fail
to elect representatives for
want of candidates.
Sources in the department say it is too premature to plan for an eventuality that has not arisen.
Moreover, as per procedures laid down, the State
Election
Commission
(SEC), after the last date of
withdrawal, will inform the
department about the number of vacancies following
which a call will be taken.
We have no intimation
about such villages so far.
Also, we thoroughly studied the impact of introducing minimum educational
qualifications in Rajasthan
and found there were only
two or three wards where
in any village. However, we

will deal with it when such a
situation comes up.
Navraj Sandhu, ADDITIONAL CHIEF

SECRETARY, DEVELOPMENT AND PANCHAYATS
.
such a situation arose. In
this light, we dont see a
problem in getting eligible
candidates in any village.
However, we will deal with
it when such a situation
comes up, said Navraj
Sandhu, Additional Chief
Secretary, Development
and Panchayats.
With the lack of candidates being seen as a
hypothetical situation so
far, a clear picture will
emerge only after the last
date of withdrawal is over
though the SEC says such
intimation will be sent
only after the entire result
is compiled.
As the SEC readies to
announce the election
schedule, State Election
Commissioner Rajiv Sharma said it was difficult to
say, even after the filing of
nominations was over for
the first phase, if such a situation would arise.
We will conduct elections,
declare results and prepare a
result gazette. After this, we

will send a report to the Panchayat Department on the
number of vacancies that
remain. This will go along
with our comments on why
there is a vacancy. Based on
this, the government and the
department concerned will
decide their course of
action, Sharma said.
Meanwhile, Nuh MLA
Zakir Hussain said the problem of eligible women candidates was more pronounced
in Mewat compared to other
districts since the literacy
rate in the district was much
lower. Lack of toilets was
also proving to be a stumbling block for most candidates, Zakir added.
Only 6 per cent of the
population here has abovematric educational qualification and hardly 3 per cent
are linked to villages. In the
Nagina block alone, we have
three villages where there
are no eligible candidates
and marriages are being
hastily
organised
to
import educated girls, he
said. The district had 65 villages in the dark zone where
water was supplied through
tankers and there are hardly
any toilets, he added.
People dont get water
to drink and women have
to fetch it after walking
long distances. In such villages, toilets are unthinkable. We dont know how
many villages will actually
be able to elect representatives, Hussain said.
Faridabad, December 14
As many as 172 persons have
been and 730 injured in 611
road accidents in Faridabad
district till December 11 this
year. This, despite the fact that
the Road Safety Organisation
(RSO), a police-public initiative, has claimed to have initiated measures to address the
issue and provide immediate
help and relief to the victims.
Statistically, the numbers of
deaths in road accidents has
come down this year as compared with the last years figure of 210, though the numbers of accidents has gone up
marginally. The number of
injured last year was 733
against 730 this year. In 2013,
219 persons were killed and
638 injured in 666 accidents.
Most of the accidents
reportedly took place on the
National Highway No. 2 or at
road intersections. Poor traffic control mechanism as
aggravated the problem further. This was mentioned in a
report submitted by special
inspection officials appointed
by the high court recently to
study the problem of traffic
jams in the city.
The traffic police department is not only short-staffed
but also ill-equipped to effectively control the vehicle rush
on the roads that has been rising with the day.
We aim to bring down
the number of accidents to
100 or less in 2016, said
RSO vice-president SK
Sharma.
The
traffic
department has around 216
policemen. Patrolling has

347 this year, while the
number of injured stood at

DSP Traffic Sunil Kumar
said most of the accidents
took place due to negligence in driving, including
over speeding, not wearing
helmet or safety belts while
driving. Around 8,000 new
vehicles were registered in
the district every year. The
drivers need to be self-disciplined in observing traffic
rules, he said.

mishaps, the first 11 months
this year saw 207 deaths in
road mishaps. In 2014, the
number of such deaths was
270, while 625 persons were

Extend juveniles stay: Centre

The Centre on Monday asked
the Delhi HC to extend the
observation home stay of the
juvenile convict in December
16, 2012, gangrape case who is
scheduled to be released on
Sunday, saying several mandatory aspects were missing from
the post-release rehabilitation
plan which needed to be considered before setting him free. PTI

A massive political furore
broke out today over Kerala
Chief
Minister
Oomen
Chandys last minute exclusion from an event Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to attend in Kollam
tomorrow. The Congress has
alleged the PMOs hand in the
matter, while the government
has rubbished the charge.
Dissatisfied with Home Minister Rajnath Singhs assertions in the Lok Sabha that the
PM had nothing to do with the
issue and the event organisers
had
internally
resolved
against inviting Chandy, the
opposition Congress, TMC,
NCP and Left walked out of
the House during Zero Hour.
The walkout followed Rajnaths statement that Sree
Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam (SNDP), a
social outfit of backward Hin-
Congress MPs from Kerala protest at Parliament in New Delhi on Monday over exclusion of Kerala
Chief Minister Oomen Chandy from the PMs function in Kollam. PHOTO: MANAS RANJAN BHUI
du Ezhava community, was
free to invite who it wants.
At the heart of the matter
is an SNDP event tomorrow
where Modi has to unveil a
statue of former Kerala CM
R Sankar, a former president of the state Congress.
Although Minister of State

Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev
Pratap Rudy even placed on
record a December 12 letter by
the Kerala Government to the
PMO informing the latter
about Chandy not attending
the event, the Opposition left
the House in protest. Later,

the Congress alleged that
Chandy had written that letter
to the PM as the last resort.
As per the initial plan,
Chandy was to preside over the
function and Modi was to
unveil the statue. But pressure
was brought upon SNDP to uninvite the CM of the Congress

government in the state. SNDP
general secretary conveyed this
to the CM and the CM recused
himself from the event. It was
after these developments that
Chandy wrote to the PMO saying he would not be attending
the event, senior Congress
leader Anand Sharma said as
the government and the Congress indulged in the blame
game over the issue, which also
saw Congress vice-president
Rahul Gandhi leading a protest
by Congress MPs outside Parliament this morning.
Rahul accused the PM of
insulting the people of Kerala by engineering the exclusion of the Kerala CM from
the event. This is unacceptable to us. They will have to
change the way they work,
Rahul said moments before
his LS colleague from Kerala
KC Venugopal raised the
issue during Zero Hour.

The state government was

Denying SAD role in the
incident, party MP Balwinder Singh Bhunder
alleged politics was being
done on the issue. He said
anti-poor and anti-Dalit incidents were taking place in
many states, including those
ruled by the Congress.
"The state government is

Bhunder said. Outside Parliament, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said in
Punjab, innocent people were

brutally killed in Ferozepur at
the behest of an Akali leader
who ran a liquor mafia in

which several top Akali leaders had stakes. His limbs were
dismembered. He was killed
and then a false charge of rape
was pressed in the matter.
"The Centre should dismiss the Akali-BJP government given the complete
breakdown of law and order
and direct the involvement
of the ruling class in a range
of businesses including
liquor, transport and sand.
Another girl was crushed
under a Deep Roadways bus
owned by an Akali leader in
Bathinda. No arrests have
been made. Instead, the
police lathi-charged protesters in the area, he said.
Speaking to the media, Azad
alleged: "There is a parallel economy and mafia running in Punjab. Liquor barons and drug

All the way to Fazilka

TAPI deal a step towards energy security
FTER much delay, the TAPI (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,

Pakistan and India) gas project got the go-ahead from leaders
of the four countries, including Vice President Hamid Ansari
and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, at a ceremony on Sunday. The project brings together nations that share difficult relations with each
other. The 1,800 km gas pipe is to pass through some of the most risky
and unstable places in Afghanistan and Balochistan before delivering gas at Fazilka. Sabotage threats had held up the project, earlier
scheduled for commissioning in 2016. Also, there was a proposal earlier to rope in a multinational firm with experience of executing such
multi-country projects. Since none was forthcoming on acceptable
terms, the four nations have decided to lay the peace pipeline, as it
is called, on their own.
A steep fall in oil and natural gas prices have forced producer
countries like Turkmenistan, Kazakhastan and Russia to explore new
markets. In India, on the other hand, the ever-rising demand for energy has forced the government to tap all available sources apart from
pushing domestic production. In July Prime Minister Modi visited
the Central Asian nations of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan and Turkmenistan in a bid to beef up Indias energy security. Sundays ground-breaking deal is the result of that effort.
The success of the TAPI project should pave the way for the
revival of the long-pending gas pipeline deal with Iran. Apart from
safety concerns of the pipeline that has to pass through Pakistan,
Western sanctions against Iran had delayed this project. After signing the civil nuclear deal with the US, India too lost interest in the
project. However, in the changed scenario, with the US and Iran burying their differences, the gas deal should be back in the reckoning. It
is in India's interest. After the US, China and Russia, India has
emerged as the world's fourth biggest energy consumer that imports
80 per cent of its crude and 30 per cent of its natural gas requirements.
The sharp decline in energy prices has made it a buyers' market and
strengthened India's negotiating power for energy deals.
Heavy handed, indeed

Punjab Police needs to act professionally
HE manner in which the Punjab Police has handled two recent

incidents has caused widespread resentment among the people of the state. In one case, it was police action that caused the
resentment, while in the other it was the lack of it. When a 14-year-old
schoolgirl died in a bus accident, near Channu village of Muktsar district, some policemen, during the protest that followed, reportedly
dragged her body away from the spot where she was killed. This
resulted in anger from the protesters, further inflaming the situation
in which traffic had been disrupted and the bus in question torched.
The police also allegedly fired in the air using assault rifles.
In the other case, a young man's arms and legs were chopped off
after a clash at a farmhouse near Abohar. The farmhouse belongs to
a liquor baron, and the victim, who died later in the hospital, was his
former employee. Following public pressure, the police has registered
an FIR against him and a few others. However, the lack of arrests in
the case has led to allegations of police sheltering the culprits. Since
both the liquor baron and the owner of the bus service are associated
with the Shiromani Akali Dal, the matter has taken a political turn
too, with the Congress disrupting the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha on this issue.
The credibility of the police force in Punjab has taken a beating
following its inability to solve various instances of sacrilege that
rocked the state in the recent past. After a change of guard at the
top, there was an expectation of change in the approach. However,
the manner in which these two incidents have been handled
reflects a gross misunderstanding of the polices role. A police
force is not the political arm of the ruling party of the day. The Punjab Police leadership needs to make the men and officers conscious
of the distinction between a political role and its professional
duties. The police has only one mandate to serve the public interest and ensure the citizens safety. The police is not the keeper of
the politicians interests.
Thought for the Day

Necessity never made a good bargain. Benjamin Franklin
Sushma Ramachandran
ROSPECTS for a successful

conclusion of the 10th ministerial meeting of the World
Trade
Organisation
in
Nairobi are bleak unless developed
countries show some empathy for
the problems of the rest of the
world. The meeting is likely to mirror the standoff between developed
and developing economies in the
Paris climate summit. Just as in the
case of climate change, rich countries are not prepared to relent but
want major concessions from poor
countries. They will not cut their
own enormous agricultural subsidies by any significant amount and
instead seek to limit assistance
being given to millions of farmers
in developing economies.
To recap developments till now,
the present round of negotiations
were launched in 2001 in Doha,
Qatar. They have therefore been
described as the Doha Development
Agenda. The focus of these multilateral talks was supposed to be on
opening up markets for agriculture,
industry, services and on widening
the scope of intellectual property
regulation. Ultimately, however,
they got bogged down on the core
issue of agriculture and the huge
subsidies being given by rich countries to their farmers. The fact that
14 years have elapsed since the
Doha round began indicates the
wide gulf that exists between rich
and poor countries over this issue.
There was some progress at the
last WTO ministerial meeting in
Bali in 2013, where a Trade Facilitation Agreement was finally concluded to the satisfaction of both developed and developing countries.
This was the first agreement concluded since the WTO was set up in
1994. Trade facilitation primarily
means lowering cross-border tariffs
and revamping customs regulations. However, there has been no
movement on other issues as agriculture continues to remain the
bone of contention between the
developed and the developing
world. The developed countries led
by the US and European Union
seek the opening up of developing
economies markets for their own
farm products. Highlighting the
repercussions of such actions, the
The farmers interests must be protected at all costs.

developing world led by China,
India, South Africa and Brazil have
argued in various ministerial meetings that this is a livelihood and
subsistence issue affecting million
of farmers in their countries.
One of the key areas of controversy is what is known as the special
safeguard mechanism (SSM). In
fact, it was over this issue that the
farmers from such inroads into its

markets. In this context, the experience of countries like the Dominican Republic needs to be kept in
mind. In this case, the European
Union flooded the country with
cheap milk powder, virtually
destroying its dairy industry and
rendering thousands of farmers
unemployed. India may be much
India needs to muster support to ensure that the issues of

subsistence and livelihood for millions of farmers in poor countries
are recognised as being the core issue for agriculture
.
talks collapsed in 2008 during a

WTO ministerial meeting in Geneva. This is a measure designed to
protect poor farmers in developing
countries by allowing them to
impose a special tariff on some agricultural products in case of an
import surge or price fall. On the
eve of the Nairobi summit, India
has taken the firm stance that the
SSM is needed because agriculture
subsidies have not been reduced by
developed countries. It has pointed
out that rich countries are paying
up to 70 to 80 per cent subsidy to
their farmers.
Besides, there is a real threat of
cheap imports of some farm goods
like dairy products, poultry and
apples flooding Indian markets.
The country therefore needs some
mechanism to allow itself to protect
larger but it also faces the dire

prospect of cheap agricultural products being dumped here, to the
detriment of our own farmers.
Another issue that has been raised
by India and other members of the
G-33, the farm coalition of 46 countries led by Indonesia and including
China, is the issue of public stockholding programmes for food security. It has sought exemption of
these programmes from subsidy
reduction commitments made to
the WTO. This is an issue that has
implications for Indias system of
maintaining large wheat and rice
stocks for supply through the public distribution system. Currently,
an indefinite reprieve is in place in
the form of what is known as a
peace clause. It provides that no
country can go to the WTO dispute
settlement body in case another

country breaches the permitted
subsidy level, which is 10 per cent
of the total value of foodgrain production and on stockpiling. Developing countries are seeking a permanent solution to this problem at
the Nairobi meeting while the rich
countries are trying to delay any
decision on it.
In the midst of these complex
issues, the US, the EU and its allies
are actually trying to bring the
Doha round to an end without
reaching any decision. In view of
the 14-year stalemate, they want to
move to other issues of interest to
them such as labour, government
procurement and the global value
chain. In other words, the Doha
round would be abandoned and a
fresh round of talks would be
launched on other issues. India and
other developing countries are naturally opposed to this move, but it
may be difficult to resist the pressure unless there is some forward
movement within the Doha round.
Besides, the trend of going for
regional trade agreements like the
Trans-Pacific
Partnership
has
meant that rich countries are not as
interested in the WTO multilateral
system where every country has to
give its consent to an agreement.
In the regional trade pacts, it is
possible for the US to push through
its agenda without much of a problem, vastly unlike the WTO where
poor countries are able to create
strong coalitions.
It is no doubt in Indias interest to
ensure that the Doha round ends
after reaching some positive agreements in the area of agriculture. For
this purpose, it needs to forge
stronger alliances among developing countries. At present, there is a
situation where even a natural ally
like Brazil has taken an opposing
position on some issues. Trade
diplomacy thus needs to be given as
much, if not more, attention than
diplomacy in strategic and defence
issues. India needs to muster support to ensure that the issues of subsistence and livelihood for millions
of farmers in poor countries are
recognised as being the core issue
for agriculture. Unless it can do so,
the Doha round of talks is doomed
to fail and the Nairobi ministerial
conference will be a non-starter.
The flower in my hair

Amrinder Bajaj
HAVE acquired a new identity

now that of a widow. With a terminally ill husband, it was
inevitable, yet shocking. Preoccupied
as I was with tending to him night and
day, both as a doctor and wife, I had
little time to think about my own
future. After that, there were the
funeral rites, a house full of relatives
who briefly offered their shoulders to
cry upon and went away to lead lives
of their own. Soon I was left with
haunting memories and scalding
tears. When the flood of grief abated
somewhat, it was time to dwell on the
devastation the loss of a single person
had wrought. I found myself beset by
demons of loneliness and fear. Henceforth, I would be living alone in a

sprawling house and as a first step
towards physical security, I installed a
CCTV camera. This aggravated my
help who had a free run of the place
during my husbands dying days and

was given to rampant pilfering. He is
now looking for a new job.
Then there was the icy grip of loneliness to tackle. I was determined to
convert it into a warm solitude which
I would spend contemplating nature,
practising yoga, reading and writing
in whatever leisure time I had at my
disposal. I have done my best for my
husband when he was suffering and
that was all that mattered at that
time. Now is the time to rise out of my
depression, like a lotus from a pond
and view the world from a new perspective. Instead of cribbing that no
one cares, I will be grateful for having
no responsibilities and being my own
master. I have renewed contact with
school and college friends and intend

to explore my country, my world with
them. I will spend freely of the time I
have for myself a wealth I never
possessed before. With my spirits and
sense of humour intact, I will make
the most of my new avatar. As I am
answerable to no one, I will not curb
the juices of life that urge me to do
what my heart tells me to do. To hell
with what people think or say. Sorrow
is a personal matter and I have no
inclination of wearing it on my
sleeve. Not for me the drab colours
and other unsavoury aspects of being
a vidhwa. However, there is one concession I concede to my widowhood
never again will I wear my trademark flower in my hair.
Citys south in dark
the police as a disciplined force. I

question the silence of Harsimrat
Kaur Badal because people expect
her to condemn and pressure the
state government to take action
against culprits in such cases
because she is being projected as a
champion of womens rights and
promoter of Nanhi Chhan. Now,
the question is whether courts will
intervene and take the preventive
measures.

A greener planet in sight
The planet is facing a threat and the
Paris climate deal is the first step
toward fixing the problem. Ice sheets
are melting and coastlines are flooding from rising seas. Hence to save the
earth, 195 nations have reached a
landmark accord. One hopes the
agreement will bind every country to
lower greenhouse gas emissions. For
this purpose, in 15 years, 7 billion people need $90 trillion (per head expenditure comes to Rs 155 per day) to
fight the global warming. Though the
agreement may create difficulties for
some coal-based companies in India,
the pact may change many things for
the greener world.
BIDYUT KUMAR CHATTERJEE, FARIDABAD
...history does rhyme

US President Barack Obama has displayed examplary commitment to the
cause of climate change. Let us not
forget that he is the first President to
visit and review the effects of global
warming in Alaska. His determination
was exemplified by ceasing all industrial activity at the location. By this
action alone, he has walked the talk. A
scientist, Scott Wing, the USA, proved
that global warming had occurred on

the earth 56 million years ago. Mark
Twains words ring with relevance:
History may not repeat itself, but it

No hypocrisy, Mr PM
This is in refrence to the editorial Hope
floats in Paris (Dec 14). The dramatic
change in the Paris pact is similar to
Salman Khan's acquittal in the hit-andrun case. The major contibutor to global warming is the rich nations. They
should help the developing and poor
nations financially to control global
warming. Modi says, "There are no winners or losers, climate justice has won".
It is hypocrisy of the Modi government
to show concerns for climate change
globally, but not supporting the AAP
governments odd-even formula in
Delhi. Politicians must remember that
pollution and natural calamities treat
the rich and the poor alike. To fight pollution, no politics should be involved.
makers, however, we are hardly

involved in any decision-making
process. Projects and taxes are
imposed on us. The bullet train project, for example, will impose a burden
of Rs 98,000 crore on the exchequer.
How our country will manage it
where the infrastructure is in shambles, the train schedule hits rock bottom during the Diwali season with
unmanned railway crossings at many
places and no defogging systems in
place. It was the dedication of Sreedharan that metro rail projects kicked
off in Kolkata and Delhi. Instead of
gifting the whopping amount to
Japan, lets push RCF employees to
design coaches and wagons on a similar technology. The Railways network requires a paradigm change.
The bullet train project may meet the
same fate as that of Indira Gandhi's
AJT project and Mayawati's Noida
dream park. In reality, Modi isn't promoting Make in India, but actually
"Making a fool of India."

Bullet train, a costly deal

The bullet train deal with Japan is
another attempt by the Modi govern-
ment to divert the attention of people

from its failure of bringing the black
money stashed in foreign countries
back. The bullet train will never
lessen the common mans problems.
It will be a happy ride for the well-off

The priority is to improve the moribund health and education sectors,

Much is being said about the smart

the neglected southern sectors be
part of the new scheme? Going by
the step-motherly treatment that

been without streetlights for six
months. A major part of this section
is without electric poles. And the

of Sector 48 can live without the

The excessive rain in Chennai and the floods in Uttarakhand and Jammu and Kashmir are all examples of the consequences of
global warming that is directly linked to the emission of greenhouse gases. PTI
Maj-Gen J.S. Kataria (retd)
The importance
of infrastructure
in the economic
development of
a nation cannot
be disputed. At
the same time
it is vital to
ensure that the
trees and
grasslands
which
constitute the
lungs of a
nation and
keep carbon
emissions in
check are not
swept away by
development
The Earth provides enough to satisfy

every mans needs, but not every
man's greed. Mahatma Gandhi
HE unprecedented rain that
eclipsed the last 100 years
record virtually submerged
Chennai. In the last decade
India has witnessed a host of other
such natural calamities, such as the
floods in Jammu and Kashmir (2014),
Uttarakhand landslide (2015 and
2011) and Kedarnath floods (2013),
floods in Bihar (2008), Assam floods
and earthquakes. The magnitude of
Chennais calamity rightly took
away everyones attention from the
parleys in the Paris Climate Change
Conference. Amidst this, how many
of us took note of the issue raised by
the critically acclaimed Indian writer
Amitav Ghosh who said, We need to
be more worried over the climatic
changes vis--vis the issue of intolerance in India. It makes one wonder,
are we genuinely thinking and working to protect our environment?
Consequent to the first satellite
image of the earth in the early 1960s
the world seriously started thinking
of environmental protection. The first
UN Earth Summit was held at Stockholm in 1972, leading to the formation
of the United Nations Environment
Programme UNEP. Around that
time, the Indian population was
pegged at 400 million. Today, our population has grown to 1.2 billion. We
are the youngest nation with approximately 45 per cent of our population
between the ages of 15 and 29 years. It
is a great demographic advantage.
The youth bulge is expected to make
India's economy grow at a much
faster pace than before.
The flip side of this is that it has
added tremendous pressure on our
natural resources, land, water and
infrastructure. Looking at the world
land mass population statistics of
2014, India has 2045 sq metre per capita land mass, which is one of the lowest in the world. A study undertaken
by an independent body in the 1990s
had revealed that over the last century when our population quadrupled,
on this day... 100 years ago
there was a depletion of 26 million

hectares of forest areas and 20 million
hectares of grasslands/ scrubland. In
contrast, the built-up area increased
five-fold. There has been an unmitigated encroachment of water bodies,
lakes and river flood pans. It is a direct
derivative of our flip-flop policies, lack
of implementation and inherent corruption. The encroachment of Okhla
Bird Sanctuary's protected zone of 10km radius by big builders is one such
example. With the public outcry, these
projects were stalled for some time.
Dramatically, the restriction has now
been reduced to as low as 100 metres.
Is it not a mockery of our system and
a direct failing to protect our ecologically sensitive zones?
The importance of a strong infrastructure for the economic development of a nation is imperative. At the
same time it is vital to ensure that the
trees and grasslands which constitute the lungs of a nation and keep
the carbon emissions in check are not
washed away in the rush of development. Today, while driving along
most of our national highways, one
only sees concrete jungles on either
side. The thick treeline of the 1960s70s is a thing of the past. Who is
responsible for this?
Our cities and towns lack the requisite public transport system and infrastructure to meet the challenges posed
by the exponential growth of population. The pollution testing stations are
more of a farce. The existing transport
system is poorly managed. No attention is paid to their timely running,
proper maintenance and optimal utility during the peak traffic hours. The
bus-stops are ill-designed and the drivers ill-trained. Improper parking and
stopping at an unauthorised place or
red lights often leads to choking of
traffic. Our autorickshaws/ e-rickshaws and even cars or taxis stop at
will, with utter disregard to traffic
rules or public safety. It often leads to
traffic jams and contributes to air pollution. The non-implementation of
norms by the construction industry,
the lack of drinking water supply
(increasing dependence on ROs) and
an inept garbage-disposal system are
other contributing factors in India's

environmental degradation. Construction material and garbage piled on the
roads gets blown into the atmosphere
by prevailing winds.
Many banned polluting industries
continue to flourish in various colonies
of Delhi. A similar situation prevails in
other cities of India. Our administration remains blissfully oblivious of
their existence. There are officials on
the government rolls whose job is to
ensure that garbage and construction
waste are cleared regularly, but no one
questions them and holds them
accountable. Ironically, we continue to
indulge in political gimmickry at the
cost of our environment.
The occurrence of excessive as well
as untimely rain (e.g. Chennai),
floods and global warming is directly
linked to the emission of greenhouse
gases. The constant emission of
these by the developed nations over a
prolonged period in the past has
depleted the ozone layer leading to
global warming and environmental
changes. Today, the leading emitters
of greenhouse gases are China with
28 per cent of the world's overall
emission followed by the USA 16 per
cent, EU 10 per cent, Russian Federations and India with 6 per cent,
respectively. The developing nations
are demanding a major contribution
from the developed nations in cutting carbon footprints owing to their
excessive emission in the past. The
outcome of the Paris Conference
notwithstanding, it will remain a
matter of conflict between developed
and developing nations.
India needs to learn from the developed nations how they have managed
clean air and potable water supply in
their cities. Most of our cities are facing air pollution with more than 200
PM2.5 and even going as high as
beyond 400 PM2.5 that puts the air
quality between "very unhealthy" and
"hazardous". We need to act with speed
and alacrity to prevent this level of
highly polluted air and environmental
degradation before our youth bulge
becomes a victim of respiratory and
other diseases and our advantage
turns into a huge disadvantage.

The King Emperor's Message to Punjab Troops.

THE following telegram from His Excellency the Viceroy to His Honour the Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab dated 13th December is
published for general information:-"In accordance with my promise to
the retired and wounded Indian officers, that I had the pleasure of meeting at Lahore on Saturday last I telegraphed to His Majesty the King
Emperor assuring him of the undiminished loyalty and devotion of the
very large number of Indian officers. I have since received the following telegram from His Majesty the King Emperor dated yesterday, the
12th December:- Please express to the Indian Officers from the Punjab
and Indian States, reviewed by you yesterday, how highly I appreciate
their loyalty and devotion and the fine example they have given both
in assisting recruiting and by their influence in preserving tranquility
in the Province.-George R. and I.'"I shall be obliged if your will kindly
convey the above message to the Ruling Chiefs of those States who sent
officers to meet me at Lahore and instruct the Deputy Commissioners
of your province to communicate this message to every officer."
MR. T.R. Venkatram, Editor of the Indian Engineer, gives some information in the columns of the Hindu (Madras) about this institution.
He says that he has gleaned it form the Hon'ble Sir Francis Spring of
the Madras Port Trust. According to him, Dr. Bourne is paid not Rs.
4,000 per mensem, but only Rs. 2,500 and the tenure of his office is for
two years. The Council "seems" to have secured now the "right sort of
man" for the post of Applied Chemistry. But Mr. Venkatram further
qualifies his statement by saying something not quite clear about the
opinion of the Council as to his "capacity."

OT only does global warming pose

a serious threat, but even the cold
season with heavy fog can prove
threatening and throw our inner clock out
of gear. The result can be seasonal depression, resulting in a sad mood, lethargy, a
desire for more sleep, lack of energy, irritability, and low productivity. But we can
avoid it. Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD) is a type of depression that brings
about changes in our mind and mood as
seasons change. It begins and ends at
about the same time, almost every year. In
India, in the cold regions, and more
specifically in the plains where there is
plenty of fog and mist during winter, people start feeling mood swings, even feeling
less energetic, as if something has sapped
their energy. In some countries, and to certain individuals, SAD causes depression
even during spring or early summer.
It is a complex depressive disorder. In
India it is triggered mostly by the lack of
sunlight during the winter days. It affects
the levels of hormones, particularly melatonin and serotonin in the part of the
brain that controls mood, sleep and
appetite, as also our circadian rhythms. In
certain cases, the symptoms are fairly
mild and last for a short period only. In
that case these are known as winter blues
only, also called sub-syndromal SAD.
Where day-to-day tasks are hindered considerably, the serious symptoms need a
continuous treatment.
The symptoms that indicate SAD are:
The lack of energy while performing dayto-day tasks; concentration problems and
a change in moods, even the habit of
overeating, making one take more carbohydrates. If you start taking tea, coffee or
alcohol more than usual, get more colds,
experience lowered desire for sex, get irritated time and again these are signs
that you are suffering from SAD.
The condition often creates a problem
for so many people in India, especially
from mid-December to the last week of
January, though it is more common in
Scandinavia, Europe, North America,
North Asia, and in the southern parts of
Australia and South America. It is only at
the equator that very few people are
afflicted by SAD, simply because they are
exposed more to daylight hours which are
prolonged and bright throughout the year.
To ignore that yearly feeling during these
foggy winters would not be a wise step.
Spare no time in taking the right steps
and thereby keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.
It would be all the more necessary if you
are a creative writer. SAD affects the creative writers most adversely. The glaring
case is that of poetess Emily Dickinson.
She would write a lot during summers but

would lose interest in writing during winters. If you are a creative writer, you too can
become a victim of such foggy weather.
What is most interesting to note is that her
writings during the summer season would
show her lively, joyful and optimistic
mood, while those written in winters would
not only be poorer in quality but would also
reflect her sad and pessimistic mood!
The American Journal of Psychiatry
reports how she might have been suffering from SAD. This disorder makes 10
million Americans its victims every winter, while 25 million Americans mildly suffer from it.
In India, too, particularly in the areas
with a damp atmosphere, dense mist,
cloudy skies and chilly weather, thousands of people (without being aware of
any such problem) suffer from mood
swings, irritability, a lack of zest to work
and an intense desire to remain in bed for
longer hours. The creative people are
worst hit by SAD during foggy winters.
Intensive research has shown that victims of SAD generate a biological signal
that the season is changing. That's how
certain insects like snakes hibernate during winters. Similarly some human
beings prefer to remain in bed for longer
hours during damp and foggy winters.
Michael Terman, Director of Winterdepression programme at Columbia Medical Centre in New York, says that bright
light therapy can shift our internal circadian clock favourably. Dr Al Levy, psychiatrist at Oregon Health Sciences University
School of Medicine, says that light earlier
in the day shifts the body's clock to a later
hour. Both agree that our biological clock
can be stimulated and awakened during
daylight hours in a favourable manner!
Those entering cold countries may suffer
from SAD. In that case also the inner clock
gets upset, resulting in fatigue, more and
more craving for sleep, lethargy, and lack
of interest in creative activities. In certain
cases, the victim is made to think clearly
when the remedy is provided to the victim.
Many people have suffered on account of
making wrong decisions due to jetlag.
Instead of drinking, smoking and using
tea and coffee in excess, fresh fruit juice
should be taken at frequent intervals. If
proper relaxation is observed, SAD can be
avoided easily. Eat light, breathe deeply,
live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness,
and maintain your calm as well as an interest in life, says William Louden, an eminent health expert. The more carefully you
keep yourself safe from the approaching
foggy days, the better it will be for your
mood, mind, and productivity.

Even though there has
been
an
appreciable
decline of 9,000 in the
number of regular government employees in
Himachal since 2010, the

in Rs 13,000 crore being
spent annually on the

alone.
The latest census of government
employees,
released by the Department of Economics and

number of employees at 2,
26,634, which includes

The number of regular

Omar favours dialogue

between state, Centre
Azhar Qadri
Srinagar, December 14
Former Chief Minister
Omar Abdullah today advocated a dialogue between
the state and the Centre
and warned that Indo-Pak
talks, resumed recently,
needed to be insulated from
attempts to derail it.
The working president
of the National Conference (NC) appealed to
Modi to initiate a dialogue
with the state in the way it
was done with Pakistan.
The Jammu and Kashmir issue has two dimensions. One is internal,
between the state and New
Delhi, and the other is
between India and Pakistan. This issue will be
solved when you talk on
The Jammu and Kashmir issue
has two dimensions. One is

internal, between the state and
New Delhi, and the other is
between India and Pakistan. This
issue will be solved when you talk
on both tracks. So far, the dialogue
is happening on one track.
Omar Abdullah, FORMER CHIEF MINISTER
both tracks. So far, the dialogue is happening on one

track, Omar told mediapersons on the sidelines of a
function in the city.
Omars reference to the
internal dimension of the
Kashmir issue hints at the
regions separatists. He said
there was no progress on the
dialogue between the state
and New Delhi, which he
termed as very important.
I appeal and I hope from
the government of Modi
that the way it started a dialogue process with Pakistan, it will start a dialogue
in a similar way with Jammu and Kashmir, he said.
The former Chief Minister welcomed the resumption of talks between
India and Pakistan, but
warned that the process
needed to be insulated.
What we need to do most
is to insulate this dialogue
because many attempts
will be made to derail it
and many attempts will be

made to make it unsuccessful, Omar said.
He said our attempt
should be to defeat the conspiracies against the dialogue process. He said
Kashmir was a party to dialogue even if India and Pakistan did not include it. We
are already a party. We are a
party to this issue since this
issue is there, he said.
In recent months, Omar
has lashed out at the PDP
for failing to articulate the
need for political engagement with internal and
external stakeholders.
The NC had passed a resolution last month, stating
that the Kashmir issue had
internal as well as external dimensions, which
need to be addressed for
sustained peace.

Mehbooba takes up students admission in LS State to get more luxury hotels

Amir Karim Tantray
Jammu, December 14
There is some good news
for Jammu and Kashmir
students who are struggling to get admission in
various colleges and universities in the country.
The Union Ministry for
Human Resource Development (MHRD) has swung
into action to ensure that eligible students from the state
get admission under the
supernumerary quota.
This has become possible
after Member of Parlia-
ment Mehbooba Mufti

raised the issue many a
time in Parliament and at
various other platforms.
Mehbooba today again
raised the issue in the Lok
Sabha during the Zero
Hour and sought the intervention of HRD Minister
Smriti Irani to effectively
implement
the
UGC
scheme on admission to
J&K students in recognised colleges and universities of the country under
the supernumerary quota.
As per the UGC guidelines,
all recognised universities
Of late, as per reports,
most of the universities

have started refusing
admissions to students
from J&K under this
(supernumerary) quota.
Mehbooba Mufti, MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
have to give admission to two
students in the supernumerary quota. This is in addition
to the migrant quota.
Of late, as per reports,
most of the universities have
started refusing admissions
to students from J&K under
this quota, said Mehbooba.
Earlier, in a written reply

to a question by Mehbooba
in the Lok Sabha on the
issue, the MHRD said:
Following reports that
some colleges and universities were refusing admission to the students, the
UGC issued fresh directive to all universities to
admit the eligible students
from J&K under the
Mehbooba has constantly
been raising the issue
of refusal of admission
to J&K students by colleges and universities
outside the state.

The Union Ministry for

said
in
the
last year, 20 representations
were received from students
of J&K regarding refusal of
admissions by Delhi University colleges under the

Skoda, Renault to hike prices

Skoda Auto India today said it
would hike prices of its entire
model range by up to Rs
50,000 from January in order
to offset the impact of rising
input costs. "The increase will
vary from 2 to 3 per cent
across the entire product portfolio. The new prices effective
from January 1, 2016, are in
line with increasing input cost
and changing market conditions," Skoda Auto India said in
a statement. The price
increase will translate into an
increase of around Rs 14,000
to Rs 50,000 depending on the
model and the variant, it
added. Meanwhile, carmakers
Renault and Nissan have also
decided to hike prices of their
products by up to 3 per cent

Fitch retains India's rating

India will continue to post
good growth despite subdued
prospect for the Asia Pacific
region amid expected rise in
US rates, dollar strength, and
lower commodity prices, Fitch
said while retaining India's rating. "India and Vietnam have
favourable macroeconomic
prospects, partly reflecting
lower exposure to some of the
negative pressures affecting
the region. PTI

It was not pleasant news for
the economy, with retail
inflation hitting a 14-month
high of 5.41 per cent in
November and the rupee at a
more than two-year low of
67.09 to the dollar on the
back of rising uncertainty
over the impact on inflows
through the Fed rate hike
likely in the next two days.
The jump in retail inflation
was on the back of a rise in
food prices, while wholesale
inflation remains in negative,
but steadily rising.
Wholesale Price Inflation
(WPI) in November moved
up to (-)1.99 per cent as food
articles, led by pulses and
onion, turned costlier.
This is the 13th month in a
row when the wholesale
inflation remained in the
negative territory. It has been
in the negative zone since
November last year.
The rupee fell by 21 paise,
or 0.31 per cent, closing at a
27-month low of 67.09. It
breached the 67 to the dollar level first time since
September 3, 2013.

The

closing at a 27-month

The fall of the rupee is

linked to the Fed rate hike in
the US in the next couple of
days and as the US interest
rates rise, emerging markets
and their currencies are likely to see a sell-off.
Devendra Kumar Pant,
Chief Economist, India Ratings & Research, said both
WPI and CPI inflation,
although marginally higher
than expectations, was in
accordance with the trend.
He said the favourable
base effect was waning out
could face headwinds,

going forward, it said in a
note, elaborating that oil
prices, which slid to USD 40
a barrel from USD 110 during the year could not see
such a dramatic correction.
It also said implementing
the proposals of the 7th Pay
Commission might result in a
jump in wage bill. PTI

the Ministry of Telecom, state

governments and the local
bodies in each district, if the
problem of call drops is to be
resolved,
Synergy in the telecom
policy is the need of the hour
as we cannot provide seamless connectivity if we are not
allowed to add more BTS
sites, especially in urban
areas, where the heavy data
usage is leading to call
drops, said COAI director
general Rajan S Mathews.
He said while the growth in
voice usage had plateaued,
the growth in data usage was
high. Mathews said due to
delay in getting clearances
from the Centre and the state
authorities, they could set up

Remittances to developing
nations like India are
expected to increase from
USD 436 billion last year to
USD 440 billion in 2015, a
UNDP report said today.
With USD 70 billion, India
was top recipients of remittances in 2014, said the
Human
Development
Report 2015 of the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Officially recorded remittances to developing countries are expected to
increase from USD 436 bil-
USD/INR EUR/INR EUR/USD GBP/INR
lion in 2014 to USD 440 billion in 2015, it said.

The top recipients in 2014
were India with USD 70 billion or 4 per cent of its GDP,
China ($64 billion, less than
1 per cent of GDP), the
Philippines (USD 28 billion,
10 per cent) and Mexico
(USD 25 billion, 2 per cent).
As per the report, officially
recorded global remittances
totalled USD 583 billion, or
more than four times the
global official development
assistance, in 2014 and are
projected to reach USD 586
billion in 2015. PTI

the last two years against the

requirement of 1 lakh sites.
India has one billion subscribers, and the subscriber
base is growing by 12-15 per
cent each month. But we are
unable to upgrade the infrastructure, he said.
Yesterday, the Union Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar
Prasad had issued a stern
warning to the telecom operators, telling them to resolve
the call drop issue.
The minister had said it was
not his job to find towers
and the companies must
improve their networks, or
face serious action.
Telecom
Regulatory
Authority of India (TRAI) has
come out with a compensation policy, mandating that
telecom companies from January 1 should compensate
users at the rate of Re 1 per
dropped call, with a ceiling of
three such calls per day,
which works out to Rs 3 a day.
The cell phone operators,
however, have challenged the
directive in the court.
The answer to the problem,
says Mathews, lies in increasing indoor coverage, besides
more investments in the net-

Nayar said food prices rose
by a considerable 2.3 per cent
in month-on-month terms in
November on account of factors, such as supply disruptions post heavy rains in the

such as a pickup in demand

Rise in the prices of pulses
can pose a threat to fight

instrumental in pushing

Indias attempt to turn digital seem to be caught in a web
of red-tapism. Inordinate
delays in getting permissions
to lay optic fibres, regulations
regarding sites where Base
Transceiver Station (BTS)
towers can be set up and high
rentals charged for hosting
the sites have led to poor
voice connectivity, even as
seamless data connectivity
looks a distant possibility.
Call drops in mobile telephony is becoming a big challenge for the telecom operators as pressure mounts on
them from the government to
upgrade their infrastructure.
Blaming the delay in getting clearances from local
authorities for installation of
mobile towers and increasing
data usage by subscribers for
the problem, the Cellular
Operators Association of
India (COAI) today said a
more holistic look needed to
be taken at the sector to
improve voice and data connectivity by the government .

'Racist' Oz cartoon shows Indians eating solar panels

MELBOURNE: A cartoon published in a leading Australian daily on Monday depicted Indians as starving

With region in turmoil, West

pushes for peace in Yemen
Islamic State thrives in chaos | UN-mediated talks begin in Geneva today
French teacher
attacked by man
claiming IS link
Dubai, December 14
Alarmed by the rise of
Islamic State, under pressure from the West and with
stalemate on the battlefield,
Yemens civil war foes are
expected to launch their
most serious peace efforts so
far at UN-mediated talks in
Geneva starting on Tuesday.
The nine-month-old conflict between a Saudi-led Arab
alliance and the Iranian-allied
Houthis has outlasted two
earlier UN attempts at peace
making, caused one of the
worlds worst humanitarian
crises and pushed Yemen
towards total chaos.
Fuelling the urgency behind
Tuesdays talks is a perception in the West that the war, in
part a proxy contest between
rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran,
is a dangerous distraction
diverting regional attention
from what should be the preeminent task of fighting IS on
its home turf and ending Syrias larger war.
There is an opportunity
now more than at any of the
previous talks and negotiations to stop this war ... to confront terrorism and challenges, a spokesman for the
Saudis adversary, the Houthi
militia group, Mohammed
Abdul-Salam, said.
According to officials in the
government of President
Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi,
Paris, December 14
A hooded man claiming to
be acting for Islamic State
attacked a nursery school
teacher with a knife-like
weapon as he prepared for
classes in a school north of
Paris, French officials said
on Monday.
The male teacher was taken to hospital after the
attack by a man wielding a
knife or box-cutter who fled
the scene after the attack,
said the official, adding that
anti-terrorism officials were
investigating.
According to one judiciary
official, the assailant slashed
at the teachers neck and
said the act was a signal from
the Islamic State group, also
referred to in France by the
name Daesh.
This is Daesh, its a
warning, the attacker told
his victim, the official said,
adding the victims life was
apparently not in danger.
In a recent French-language
publication, the Islamic State
group, which claimed responsibility for the deadly Paris
attacks of Nov. 13, denounced
Frances state school system
and urged readers to kill its
teachers because they promoted what it called the
evils of secular learning,
music and drawing.

SPORT
Litmus test for struggling MS

IPL draft today will reveal if Dhoni is still the most sought-after player in the league
Sabi Hussain

For the first eight editions
of the IPL, MS Dhoni was
the most sought-after
player in the league.
Every franchise would
have wanted him in its
ranks, but Chennai Super
Kings, owned by N Srinivasan, never loosened
their grip on him.
Things, however, have
changed a lot in the last
one year. Srinivasan is no
longer calling the shots in
Indian cricket, CSK, along
with Rajasthan Royals
(RR), stand suspended for
two years, and, above all,
Dhoni himself is seemingly no longer the player and
the captain he once was.
So when the two new
teams Pune and Rajkot
pick five players each
through draft on Tuesday, it
would be interesting to see
if Dhoni goes off the shelf
first, or the teams opt for
some other players ahead of
him. Whether his new team
gives him the reins of the
side or use him just as
another player in the side?
There are, of course, good
reasons to doubt whether
Dhoni continues to be the
most sought-after player in
the league. One, of late he
has looked a pale shadow of
the big hitter and the finisher he was not too long back;
two, his leadership skills,
too, have come under the
scanner after losing two
consecutive ODI series and
a T20 series; three, his
name cropped up on a few
occasions while CSK was
being probed; four, he has
already given up Test cricket and there are rumours
that the coming World T20
could be his swansong. All
this could push him a little
lower in the wish list of the
new teams.
Punes New Rising will
offer answers to some of
these questions tomorrow
as they will get the first
chance to pick a player by
virtue of being the lowest
bidder.

valiant 125 went in vain as
Punjab eked out a thrilling
one-run win over Assam in
the Vijay Hazare Trophy here
today, and kept alive their
hopes of making the quarterfinals. Abu Nechim Ahmed
played four dot balls in the
final over as Punjab snatched
victory from the jaws of
defeat.
Batting first, Punjab posted a massive 327/4 with
Mandeep Singh (117 no)
and Gurkeerat Singh Mann
(62) being the chief contributors. Mandeeps 97-ball
innings had 12 boundaries
and three sixes. Gurkeerats blazing 36-ball knock
contained seven boundaries
and three sixes. The duo
added 128 runs in 11.5 overs
for the fourth wicket.
Assam, in reply, were cruising along at 246/3 in the 39th
over before finishing just one
run short at 326/8. Sarupam
had two good partnerships
124 runs for the 3rd wicket
with Amit Verma (71), and 107
runs for the 4th wicket with
Gokul Sharma (60).

other big names that would

vie for attention are
Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh
Raina, Ravindra Jadeja,
Ravichandran
Ashwin,
Steve Smith, Dwayne Bravo, Shane Watson and
Brendon McCullum.
Nevertheless, it seems
improbable for Pune to
ignore Dhoni. He may have
been struggling in international cricket, but he managed to score 372 runs from
17 matches in the last IPL
season. He has aggregated
2987 runs at an average of
39.30, and is the most successful IPL captain, having
led his team to five finals,
winning two.
For Rajkot, local star
Ravindra Jadeja will be on
the top in their wish list.
The all-rounders stocks
have risen tremendously
after his success in the
recently-concluded home
series against South Africa.
Suresh Raina is another
player who would evoke
keen interest among the
two franchises. Despite
struggling for form in
international cricket, he
would be in great demand
for he has been brilliant in
the league.
Ajinkya Rahane will be
another top draw. He has
done extremely well for
Rajasthan Royals, and has
already established himself
as one of the more dependable players in the Indian
team in both ODI and Test
cricket.

Purse of Rs 66 crore
Like every other team, the
two new franchises will have a
salary cap of Rs 66 crore to
buy the players. At the draft, if
they pick five players, they
would spend Rs 39 crore. That
means they will be left with a
purse of Rs 27 crore going into
the players auction in Bengaluru on February 6.

A franchise can pick a maximum of four capped Indian
players at the draft, in accordance with the existing retention rule. The BCCI has stuck
to the same contract structure
that was put in place two years
ago when the franchises were

allowed to retain five players.
The first player gets Rs 12.5
crore, the second Rs 9.5 crore,
third Rs 7.5 crore, fourth Rs
5.5 crore and the fifth Rs 4
crore. The remaining 40 players from both teams will go to
the Bengaluru auction.
Rajkot: Himachal Pradesh

produced a clinical allround show to record a
comfortable seven-wicket
win over Saurashtra in
their Vijay Hazare match
here today. Opting to bat
after winning the toss,
Saurashtra were all out for
195 in 48.4 overs.
Cheteshwar Pujara topscored with 73 off 113 balls,
opener Sheldon was the
next best scorer with 32,
but the others struggled to
make any significant contributions. Rishi Dhawan
and Ronit More picked up
three wickets apiece, while
Pankaj Jaiswal had two.
Opener Ankur Bains
top-scored for Himachal
with 76 off 109 balls, while
Robin Bist made 44 off 64

balls to spare.

ISL semis: Goa in do-or-die situation Kiwis fly away with victory
Margao, December 14
FC Goa are keen to avoid
another loss in the semifinals
as they prepare to overturn a
0-1 deficit against Delhi
Dynamos in the second-leg
semifinal clash of the Indian
Super League (ISL) here on
Tuesday.
Last year, FC Goa lost to
eventual champions Atletico
de Kolkata on penalties at the
same stage. But coach Zico
feels his team is better prepared to tackle their semifinal
opponents this time.
Delhi Dynamos did not

have supremacy over us in
the last game. Both teams had
chances but Delhi took theirs
and we didnt, Zico said. Zico
is expected to change his lineup and tweak the team formation as Brazilian striker
Reinaldo and defender Raju
Gaekwad are both unavailable. Another Brazilian striker, Rafael Coelho, may replace
Reinaldo.
Goa beat Delhi Dynamos
2-0 in their opening league
clash at home earlier in the
tournament.
Asked what had changed
between then and now, Zico
said, Nothing much has
changed. Both have the same
players and if I can see any
change, its just that the players are a little bit tired.
Dynamos could have killed
the contest in the first leg but
missed plenty of chances.
Coach Roberto Carlos knows
that his team was superior in
the first leg after losing both
the league clashes and was
confident that they could be
the first team to seal a place in

the final.
My team will always attack.
The formation will always be
attacking. It will be almost the
same. We will shoot on goal,
said Carlos, when asked if he
would try and defend the lead.
Dynamos have been a lowscoring team all through the
league but Carlos said he had
nothing to worry as attacking
players like Gustavo dos Santos and Robin Singh were all
capable of scoring goals in
crucial matches. IANS
Lahiri best in Asia, 4th Indian to achieve the feat

Anirban Lahiri was today

upwards. Hopefully, playing on the PGA Tour, Id
love to get a win in America. Ultimately, I want to
try and win a Major. I
cant put a timeline on

The New Zealand players appeal for an lbw against Dinesh Chandimal on the final day of the first
Test in Dunedin on Monday. AFP
Dunedin, December 14
New Zealand secured a 122run win in the first Test today
as Sri Lankan resistance
ended with the loss of seven
wickets on the final day. New
Zealand had set Sri Lanka a
formidable 405-run target to
win with sufficient time to
get there on a non-threatening wicket.
But Sri Lankas batsmen
failed to show the necessary
patience as they were all out
for 282 midway through the
last day. Sri Lankas two top
batsmen, Dinesh Chandimal
and Angelo Mathews, showed
some resistance at the start of
the day, putting on 56 for the
fourth wicket before both fell
in quick succession.
The comprehensive victory
gave New Zealand their
fourth consecutive win over
Sri Lanka in the past three
years. After a bold secondinnings declaration at 267/3 by

Brendon McCullum, Sri Lanka had more than five sessions to reach 405. When they
resumed on Monday at 109/3,
Sri Lanka were 296 runs
behind. All hopes of a salvage
job were built around the
experienced Chandimal and
Mathews digging in for a long
stay at the crease. It was Wagner, recalled after a year out of
Test cricket, who broke the
partnership when he fired
two short deliveries at Mathews. The Sri Lankan captain
shaped up as if expecting a
third similar delivery, only for
Wagner to bowl full and the
ball speared off the left pad
and on to middle stump.
Chandimal was gone less
than three overs later for 58
when trapped leg before wicket by spinner Santner. The 26-
year-old batsman, in his 24th

Test, decided to push his pad
at the spinner and was hit
plumb in front without playing a shot.
Kithuruwan
Vithanage
decided attack was the best
policy, batting at a run-a-ball
pace to take the target below
200. With six fours and a six to
his name he reached 38 before
Tim Southee had him lbw.
At lunch, Lanka were 224/6
with the final four wickets
falling for the addition of 58
runs in 11 overs. For New
Zealand, Southee took 3/ 52
while Trent Boult, Wagner and
Santner finished with two
wickets each.

Real Madrids La Liga title

solitary goal at Villarreal.
Atletico Madrids 2-1 win

Real were outplayed in the
first half, but reacted after the

Karim Benzema as the defeat
piles the pressure on underfire coach Rafael Benitez.
Real had won five consecutive games since being
thrashed 4-0 at home by Barca last month, but were forced
onto the back foot by a whirlwind start from Villarreal.
I am not happy at all
with the first half and I
think the reaction in the
second half is the route we
have to follow, said Benitez. Unfortunately, today
it has cost us three points.

INDO-US MALABAR NAVAL DRILLS
China fumes over

Japans inclusion
Beijing, December 14
Reacting
sharply
to
Indias move of including
Japan in the Indo-US Malabar naval exercises, China today said, It is hopeful Tokyo will not provoke
confrontation and heighten tensions in the region.
Our position is clear. It
is hoped that the relevant
country will not provoke
confrontation and heighten tensions in the region,
Chinese Foreign Ministry
Spokesman Hong Lei told
a media briefing while
replying to a question on
Japans inclusion in the
Malabar drills.
During Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abes visit to India
last week, it was announced
that Japan would be a partner
in Malabar Naval Exercises,
taking it from a bilateral
naval exercise between India
and the US to a trilateral level on a permanent basis.
Hong reacted mildly to references to the disputed South
China Sea (SCS) in the talks
between Abe and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as
the agreement between the
two countries to further civil
nuclear cooperation.
China respects freedom
of navigation enjoyed by all
countries in the SCS
according to the international law, he said.
He, however, defended Chinas construction of artificial
islands with military facilities.

Hong Lei, CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN
by China in the reefs and

islands of the SCS is within
China sovereignty. There is
no impact on freedom of navigation and over flight, he
said reacting to SCS references in the joint statement
issued after Modi-Abe talks.
We hope that countries outside the region will respect
efforts being made by the
countries in the region to
maintain security and stability of the SCS rather than the
other way around, he said.
Territorial disputes in the
South China Sea involve
both island and maritime
claims among several states
within the region like China, Brunei, Malaysia, the
Philippines and Vietnam.
Participation of Japan in
the Malabar naval exercises
has riled China in the past
as well. PTI

Sushma briefs MPs: Pak told to expedite 26/11 trial

Simran Sodhi

External Affairs Minister
Sushma Swaraj today said
India has raised the issue of
26/11 with Pakistan and asked
it to expedite the probe. The
minister made a statement in
both Houses of Parliament on
her recent visit to Pakistan.
In the Rajya Sabha, her
statement was made amid
ruckus with many opposition members protesting in
the well of the House on various issues. In the Lok Sabha, she was able to make her
statement with ease. She
was also allotted half an hour
for clarifications later.
My visit to Islamabad for
the Heart of Asia Conference
came two days after the constructive talks between
NSAs on issues related to
security, terrorism etc. My
meetings with Pakistan
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
and Sartaj Aziz in Islamabad
Cant prove my role in attacks: Hafiz Saeed

Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed (pic)
has dared India to prove his involvement in
the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. According
to a video posted on his Twitter account,
Saeed is seen saying: "Our government
remained silent, but let me respond to Sushma. It's been seven years but they could not prove who was
behind the Mumbai attacks and they will never be able to
prove it until eternity." PTI
were held in the backdrop of
this positive development.
Both sides condemned terrorism and resolved to coop-
erate to eliminate this menace. We dwelt on the need for

Pakistan to expedite the
Mumbai terrorist attacks tri-
al. The Indian side was

assured of the steps being
taken to expedite its early
conclusion, Swaraj said in
her statement.
The minister, during clarifications, said the decision to
hold the NSA talks in
Bangkok was taken to avoid
media hype. She also
sought to set the record
straight on the government
being accused of having a
flip-flop policy on Pakistan.
She said talks with Pakistan
had actually been on since

the swearing-in ceremony of
Modi when he invited all
SAARC leaders, including
Sharif, for the ceremony. She
said: Whenever we talk, it is
based on trust. The minister was responding to lawmakers who sought to know
if India could trust Pakistan.
"When we have decided
there will be no third party
mediation, we will need to
talk to each other, she said.
