of Sena, Bal Thackeray had always
said he did not believe in democra-

Mumbai. “In the name of my
grandparents, late Balasaheb

Sena leaders, like former CM
Manohar Joshi, Sanjay Raut and
Sachin Ahir, who recently crossed
over from the Nationalist Con-

Soon after making this an-
nouncement, Aaditya was over-
whelmed by the response he re-
ceived from Shiv Sainiks at the
venue, making him emotional.
Party workers present, screamed
slogans after his name and show-
ered flowers on the dais.
He added over the last three
months, he has received immense
respect and love from the people of
Maharashtra for his “Jan Aashir-
wad Yatra”, which instilled confi-
dence in him to step in the shoes
of a leader.
“The blessings and love of the
people of Maharashtra have been

Mumbai
The Prakash Ambedkar-led
Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi
(VBA), a much-discussed po-
litical outfit after its showing
in the Lok Sabha election, on
Monday announced its can-
didates for 142 assembly
seats in Maharashtra.
The VBA, a coalition of
various social groups, has al-
ready expressed its intension
to contest all the 288 seats in
Maharashtra, which will
vote on October 21.
Speaking to reporters in
Mumbai after announcing
the names of 142 candidates,
Ambedkar said, “The politi-
cal front is for everyone and
does not belong to any partic-
ular family or community.
“We will announce candi-
dates on rest of the seats in
the coming days.”
The Dalit leader also took
potshots at the Congress-
NCP combine.
Commenting on the pre-
poll alliance between the two
main opposition parties,
Ambedkar said, “It seems
they do not have the confi-
dence to win all the seats;
hence they have not forged
an alliance with us. Com-
pared to them, vote share of
the VBA had significantly in-
creased in the Lok Sabha
election.”
The VBA, a recent political
phenomenon, had queered
the pitch for the Congress-
NCP candidates in the 2019
Lok Sabha poll in least 10
seats in the state, thereby
helping BJP-Sena nominees
to emerge victorious in these
constituencies.
At that time, the All India
Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Mus-
limeen (AIMIM) was also
part of the VBA.
However, the Hyderabad-
based party has since parted
ways with the VBA.
FPJ POLITICAL BUREAU / Mumbai
Even though the BJP has an-
nounced to field Gopichand
Padalkar from Baramati, it
will not put up any challenge
to Ajit Pawar, the NCP candi-
date. Although Ajit Pawar re-
signed from the Assembly
last week, he was convinced
to contest again by his uncle
and NCP chief Sharad
Pawar. He will file his nomi-
nation on October 4.
Baramati has always been a
bastion of Sharad Pawar.
The NCP chief has not lost
any election from Baramati.
MNS WILL CONTEST POLL: RAJ RBI must remove limits on withdrawal, stringent rules: Plea in HC
MUMBAI: In a significant political
development, the Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena (MNS) will
contest the October 21 state
assembly poll, party President Raj
Thackeray announced here on
Monday. “We will contest the
Assembly election and shall also
win. The candidates and the
seats on which we shall contest
will be announced in the next
couple of days,” Thackeray said
amidst thunderous applause at a
meeting of the party leaders and
office-bearers.
The cousin of ruling alliance
member Shiv Sena President
After he moved to national
politics, Ajit Pawar started
representing Baramati As-
sembly constituency since
1991 to date. When there was
a BJP wave, Ajit Pawar had
defeated BJP candidate by
more than 90,000 votes in the
Assembly election in 2014.
Even in 2019 the Lok Sabha
election, NCP leader Supriya
Sule got a lead of more than
1.27 lakh votes in the Bara-
mati Assembly segment

BJP candidate Kanchan Kul.
The BJP is banking on the
Dhangar community sup-
Uddhav Thackeray and nephew
of the late Bal Thackeray, Raj,
52, had quit the party in 2006
and formed MNS the same year.
Thackeray also announced
the induction of 35-year old
Narendra Dharma Patil, the son
of the late farmer Dharma Patil
who consumed poison in the
state secretariat and later died
in January 2018. Further, Shiv
Sena corporator Dilip Datir
joined MNS. Narendra will

port to defeat Padalkar. But,
the Dhangar voters don't
make a sizeable vote base, as
their number is not more
than 80,000 in the constituen-
cy. But, most of them vote for
NCP. The Maratha communi-
ty constitutes around 2 lakh.
Therefore, it is almost clear
that Gopichand Padalkar
will fight just a token contest
from BJP. He will be later re-
warded with a seat in the leg-
islative council. Padalkar's
entry into the saffron party
will help the BJP-Shiv Sena
alliance to garner the
Dhangar community votes.

BOMBAY HC SLAMS TMC
Stays cutting of over 3800 trees
for various development works
NARENDRA GUPTA / Thane
The Bombay HC on Monday
slammed the Thane Municipal
Corporation (TMC) for allowing
the cutting of over 3,800 trees for
various private and public de-
velopment projects. The HC has
clearly directed TMC not to
touch a single tree till the next
date of hearing, scheduled to be
held later this week.
Activist Rohit Joshi had moved
the HC challenging the permis-
sions granted by the Tree Au-
thority of the TMC in a meeting
held on May 22, 2019, to cut a to-
tal of 3,800 trees for public and
private developmental projects.
These include nods granted to
cut 1,023 trees for Kasarvadavali-
Ghatkopar-Wadala Metro 4,
which had been already stayed
by HC, last week while hearing
the Metro 4 matter.
In the instant matter, the coun-
sel appearing for Joshi, in-
formed a bench of Chief Justice
Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice
Bharati Dangre that the TMC
did not upload any copy of the
decision taken by its TA to cut
down 3,800 trees in the city to
pave way for the Metro IV line as

challenging the permissions granted
by the Tree Authority of the TMC in

total 3,800 trees for public and

well as other development proj-
ects. Irked over the conduct of
the TMC, CJ Nadarajog stayed
the permissions granted by the
TA to cut down trees.
“Let the authorities file a de-
tailed reply to this petition with-
in a period of three days. Till
then, the authorities will not
touch a single tree,” CJ Nandra-
jog ordered.
After the orders, Joshi said,
“Despite thousands of objec-
tions raised by citizens against
the tree felling decision, a
mandatory public hearing stipu-
lated by the Tree Act was not
conducted by the TA, thus de-
priving citizens of a right to
record their grievances.”
If govt can’t manage economy, Congress & NCP find
another irregularity
how will it balance ecology: HC Govt
NARSI BENWAL
seeks private counsel,
Mumbai
The Bombay High Court was on Mon-
day informed that the city civic
body’s Tree Authority (TA) was in a
haste to permit cutting down over
2600 trees at the Aarey Colony in
western suburbs to pave way for the
car shed of Metro III line. The HC
while noting the ‘impact’ on the envi-
ronment by felling so many trees,
quipped the government over the on-
going economic crisis.
A bench of Chief Justice Pradeep
Nandrajog and Justice Bharati Dan-
gre commenced hearing the final ar-
guments in the petition filed by ac-
tivist Zoru Bhathena challenging the
Tree Authority’s decision to permit
cutting of over 2600 trees in Aarey
Colony.
Senior counsel Janak Dwarkadas,
appearing for Bhathena argued that
the decision was taken in haste and
without any application of mind.
“This decision of the Brihanmum-
bai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is
arbitrary and contrary to the sole re-
sponsibility of the civic body, which
is to preserve and prevent harm to
greenery. We are not against the proj-
ect but we think the city’s greenery is
much important,” Dwarkadas sub-
mitted.
Dwarkadas further said, “The deci-
sion has been taken in a haste in or-
der to ensure that all the permissions
are given before the moral code of
conduct is enforced in the city. They
(civic officials) do not want the code
of conduct to stop the construction
work for the car shed.”
Having heard the submissions, CJ
Nandrajog said that the dispute be-
tween the environment and the de-
velopment was ‘vexed.’
“With all the best resources at their
disposal if the government cannot
manage the national economy then
how can they manage the ecology,”
CJ Nandrajog remarked.
The government have the best econ-
omists working for them but still
something is lacking,” the chief jus-
tice added.
During the course of the hearing,
Bhathena’s counsel Dwarkadas fur-
ther informed the judges about the
resignation of one of the five expert
members of the TA.
“One expert, by an email to the
BMC, said she was distressed to know
that she and other experts of the TA
were being accused of allowing cut-
ting of trees at Aarey, which she
would never allow. Her email further
states that no due process has been
followed for the site visit and decision
was taken in haste,” Dwarkadas said
while reading out the email.
“The expert has said that the site
visits were not proper as only some
parts of it were accessed by them and
not the entire area earmarked for the
car shed. The email further points
out that most of the recommenda-
tions of these experts have not been
accepted by the TA and thus she has
decided to resign,” Dwarkadas said.
The senior counsel further read out
a letter, jointly written by three ex-
perts, which specifically stated that
they did not have adequate time to ex-
amine all trees in detail and thus only
gave their observations and not any
final recommendations.
ignoring law & judiciary dept
FPJ POLITICAL BUREAU / Mumbai
After exposing the scam in the
bidding for the Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharahaj Memorial, Congress
and NCP have exposed yet
another serious irregularity in the
tendering process. Instead of
seeking the opinion of the state
government’s law and judiciary
department to bypass the
tendering, the government has
relied upon the legal advice of the
project management consultant,
alleged the Congress and the NCP
at a press conference.
“On the one hand, Mukul
Rohatgi has given legal opinion in
favour of Larsen &Toubro (L&T),
based on which the govt gave
them the contract. On the other
hand, Rohatgi also represents L&T
in the Supreme Court. It shows the
level of irregularities in the project.
After the SC granted oral stay to
the project on January 11, Mukul
Rohatgi represented the L&T in
this matter before Chief Justice of
India Ranjan Gogoi in July, a clear
case of conflict of interest,” said
the report submitted by the two
legal experts was studied word-
for-word, it was found to be the
same. And prime facie, it looked
like it had been written by the
same person. Point numbers 12-
20 and 13-22 in the report by
Khare and Rohatgi respectively,
are the same,” said Sawant.
Both the reports were tabled in
the meet chaired by the chief secy
on February 22, 2018. Expectedly,
before the reports were okayed,
these were to be sent for scrutiny
to law and judiciary dept. But the
govt was in such a hurry to award
the contract to L&T the report was
verbally okayed by the law and
judiciary dept secretary Rajendra
Bhagwat, when it was compulsory
to obtain his written consent.
Besides, the latter was not
connected with the matter at all.
Despite this, CM Fadnavis
okayed the project on February
28, 2018. The public works dept
sent a letter seeking the L&T’s nod
for the project. All the changes
were studied by L&T in a day and
it approved the project on March

We are more than vote bank: City transgenders

PRATIP ACHARYA
Mumbai
In the Ghatkopar’s Gokul
Colony, a densely-populated
slum cluster with mainly
Dalit population resides Sm-
riti Kumari. Every morning,
Smriti gets ready and leave
for her job, which is collect-
ing alms in the Mumbai’s
suburban railways.
Smriti, a graduate in com-
merce, once worked as a ste-
nographer at a private firm.
But, due to the unwanted
stares and irksome com-
ments that came from the
employers and clients, Smri-
ti chose to walk away and
lead the life, which according
to society, is meant for her,
which is — Begging.
“Transgenders are still not
legally recognised in our
country. People feel we are
not humans as if we come
from a different planet,” says
Smriti.
Smriti informs once she ap-
proached the police to lodge a
complaint when a client in
her previous workplace
teased her and tried to physi-
cally assault her. But in the
police station, the officer re-
fused to file a complaint and
drove her away by handing
her a Rs100 note.
“Even the law is biased, the
only time we garner atten-
tion is when election is
around the corner, that too
only if we possess valid doc-
uments to vote,” she added.
With the assembly election
scheduled for October 21, Sm-
riti says local politicians of
the saffron brigade often in-
vite members of the trans-
gender community to show
their liberal mindset and
also because the Hijras occu-
py a special place in Hin-
duism.
“The politicians use our
presence to expand their vote
bank, no matter whether we
are deprived of every basic
right,” said Radhika, a trans-
gender, who is often ap-
proached by local politician
to accompany them on their
campaign trail in the trans-
gender community.
Living clos to railway tracks
of Mahim station, Radhika’s
needs are met by begging and
sometimes dancing at wed-
ding parties. Radhika was
forced to leave school when
she was 13 as she was “differ-
ent” and the school authori-
ties didn’t accept her. Her
mother died soon after which
she was on streets. Six
months later, she was rescued
by a senior “Didi” of the
transgender community.
Since then, she has being liv-
ing on the tracks at Mahim.
“We are deprived of health
and medical facilities. We
don’t get any reservation in
the employment sector. The
netas give only assurances.
Once the elections are over,
they don’t have the time to
visit us and we don’t get to
see them,” alleged Radhika.
Though the transgender
protection of rights bill was
passed in August, the trans-
genders feel this is mainly a
government gimmick to out-
line its liberal image. “No
matter which bill is passed,
nothing will help unless the
mindset of the people is
changed,” says Pragati Jhun-
jhunwala, a transgender and
social activist fighting for the
LGBT rights.
“Unless a member of our
community is there in Par-
liament, our voices won’t be
heard,” she added.
Earlier, in the Lok Sabha,
two members of the trans-
gender community contested
the election from the Mum-
bai North East and Mumbai
North Central constituen-
cies. Though their candida-
ture was mowed down by the
Sena-BJP’s land sliding vic-
tory, the hopes are still alive
that a fine mornng “our
dreams will come true.”
“The transgenders are the
only liberal species of hu-
mans that is left on earth. We
accept everyone and treat
them equally,” says Pragati,
informing, until there is at
least one member represent-
ing them at either of the
houses of the Lok Sabha they
won’t give up their fight.
“But acceptance is a two-
way process. Our society
needs to consider us as their
own. The netas need to look at
us beyond their vote bank. No
matter how much society pre-
tends to be liberal, they are
still living with an archaic
mindset,” concluded Pragati.
the spokespersons of the Cong-
ress, Sachin Sawant and the NCP’s
Nawab Malik, at a press meet.
Despite such serious irregulari-
ties, the CM has not yet announ-
ced a probe. The government
silence on such serious issues
shows it is aware of the
corruption, the opposition claimed.
At a meeting of the chief
secretary-headed panel, it was
expected legal advice would be
sought from the law and judiciary
dept or from the attorney general
of the state, on if the govt could
negotiate with the bidder. But
surprisingly, Aegis India Pvt Ltd,
the project consultant, said it had
appointed a well-known legal
consultant, whose opinion would
be sought on the tender issue and
the report from the legal
consultant would be submitted at
the next meet. The panel
approved this unsolicited and
uncalled-for proposal, Malik said.
“As per the proposal, Aegis
India obtained legal opinion from
former AG Mukul Rohatgi and
retired judge VN Khare. But when
1. The same day, CM handed over
the letter of allotment to the firm.
From the chain of events, it is clear
that everything was being done to
benefit L&T, the Oppn alleged.
For this legal opinion, Rohatgi
sent a bill of Rs15 lakh to Aegis
India on February 17, 2018. The
PWD wrote to Rohatgi and Khare
on October 12, 2018, asking them
if the opinion indeed had been
given by them and if they had
received the payment for it from
Aegis India. The dept also asked
them to submit a receipt of
payment from Aegis. It has been
over a year since the letter was
written, but neither Rohatgi nor
Khare have reacted. Only a probe
can reveal if the company had
made the payment, said Sawant.
Vinayak Mete, head of the Shiv
Smarak Committee, who is being
asked to defend the project by
the state government, had also
written to the CM as far back as
on September 15, 2015, pointing
out the corruption in the project,
exactly as the Congress and the
NCP are now doing.

Grandma throws toddler Polls may hit MU Trans-harbour

PRIYANKA NAVALKAR
Mumbai
Kurar police have arrested a
50-year-old woman for throw-
ing her step-granddaughter,
Jiya, from the sixth floor of a
Malad high-rise on Septem-
ber 28. Police said the arrest-
ed accused, Rukhsana
Ansari, was fed up with daily
arguments between her
daughter’s son and Jiya. She
has been booked under rele-
vant sections of the Indian
Penal Code for murder.
According to police, rela-
tions between the toddler’s
mother and Rukhsana were
always sour. Rukhsana al-
ways favoured her daugh-
ter’s son over Jiya, which of-
ten led to arguments. Rela-
tions between Jiya and
Rukhsana were so bad that
the grandmother pinched
her badly just to teach the
toddler a lesson, complained
Saniya, Jiya’s mother.
“On September 5, a similar
argument ensued in the fam-
ily, after which my in-laws
and sister-in-law moved out
of the house with her son, to
stay with my brother-in-law
at Mahul. Around 20 days lat-
er, when my husband visited
Mahul, he convinced them to
return and requested them
not to pick fights,” said
Saniya.
After the reconciliation,
Rukhsana, her husband re-
turned along with her daugh-
ter and grandson to stay with
Jiya’s parents on September
26. A day later, Jiya fell sick
and had fever. After Saniya
took her to the doctor,
Rukhsana brought nutmeg
and almond, following which
she prepared a mixture and
rubbed it on her, which wors-
ened her condition. Police
said that Jiya was cranky all
night and slept only after
3.30am on September 28.
Early on September 28,
around 6.30am, a first floor
resident saw Jiya lying in a
pool of blood on the ground
floor. He immediately rushed
over to Jiya’s house and in-
formed them about the inci-
dent. After learning of Jiya
lying in a pool of blood,
everybody rushed to the
ground floor, except
Rukhsana.

Due to the assembly elections
scheduled to be held on Octo-
ber 21, degree college teach-
ers affiliated to the Mumbai
University (MU) have
claimed they will not have
sufficient time to complete
their assessment work.
Teachers have stated they
are loaded with electoral du-
ties and this will delay the
correction of answer papers
by a few days.
Teachers claim they will
have to juggle between the
tasks of setting of question
papers, supervision and
managing exam work. Benny
Shah, a teacher said, “As
soon as we finish invigilation
duty, we will have to run for
electoral work. This will not
give us time to go to the Cen-
tralised Assessment Process
(CAP) centres to correct the
answer scripts.”
Over 68 examinations for
various degree programmes
that were to be held on Octo-
ber 21 and 22 have been post-
poned by the university be-
cause of the clash of dates
with elections. Harshika Ped-
nekar, a teacher said, “We are
glad the university resched-
uled the exams on these two
dates, as this will give us suf-
ficient time to manage the
electoral work.”
Despite this rescheduling
and bunching of duties for
teachers, MU has made it clear
it will brook no delays. Teach-
ers have been instructed by
MU authorities to complete
their assessment on time, to
avoid delay in the declaration
of results. A senior MU official
said, “We cannot afford any
kind of delay in the assessment
work. Teachers need to finish
the paper correction as per
schedule so that we can declare
the winter semester results on
time.”

50% more lepto
cases this year
STAFF REPORTER
Mumbai
There has been a 50 per cent
rise in cases of leptospirosis
in September, compared to
the same time last year. A 61-
year-old and a 41-year-old
succumbed to the
disease on Sep-
tember 7 and Sep-
tember 18 respec-
tively, taking the
death toll to eight
this year, with 55
confirmed cases.
The public health
department of the
Brihanmumbai Municipal
Corporation (BMC) con-
firmed their deaths on Mon-
day.
Senior health officials said
they had requested the pri-
vate practitioners to put all
fever patients on a course of
doxycycline during mon-
soon, as early treatment with
the drug prevents organ in-
volvement and other compli-
cations, thereby preventing
deaths due to leptospirosis.
According to Dr Padmaja
Keskar, executive health offi-
cer, public health depart-
ment, community awareness
with the informa-
tion epidemic cell
(IEC) regarding
the symptoms is
organised across
the wards. Early
diagnosis and
complete treat-
ment of diseases
is provided in all
dispensaries and hospitals.
“Activities like daily disease
surveillance, early diagnosis
and treatment, implementa-
tion of immediate control
measures, IEC activities and
prompt analysis of reports
have contributed towards the
reduction of cases,” said a
health official.

SC verdict on plea seeking

The Supreme Court is sched-

tation of the People (RP) Act
for allegedly failing to fur-

A bench headed by Chief

The provision deals with
the penalty for "filing false af-
fidavit" and says that if a can-
didate or his proposer fails to
furnish or gives false or con-
ceals any information in his
nomination paper on issues
On July 23, the top
court while reserving
the verdict had said
that the alleged

Minister Devendra

like pending criminal cases
then the person would may
be awarded six months jail
term or fine or both.
Senior advocate Mukul Ro-
hatgi, appearing for the chief
minister, had referred to the
provision of the RP Act and
said that the stage of cancel-
lation of nomination papers
for alleged concealment of
information was over and
the question was only
whether the lawmaker can
be prosecuted.
He had said the Bombay
High Court rightly rejected
the plea.
The apex court had said
that the "long and short of
the matter is that you had to
disclose the pending cases
where charges have been
framed. You did it. But you
missed out in giving details
of two cases (where court
has taken cognizance)."
Ukey had contended that the
chief minister filed a false af-
fidavit by not disclosing the
two criminal matters and yet
the trial court and the high
court held that there no pri-
ma facie case was made out
for prosecution of the chief
minister.
He had said that a candi-
date was under mandatory
legal obligation to disclose
the details of all the cases, in
which either charges have
been framed or the trial
court had taken cognizance,
in the nomination papers.
The petitioner had alleged
that Fadnavis, in his election
affidavit filed in 2014, had
failed to disclose the penden-
cy of two criminal cases
against him.
It was contended that the
chief minister did not dis-
close the information as re-
quired of him under the elec-
tion law and the non-disclo-
sure of these two pending
criminal cases was in viola-
tion of Section 125A of the
RP Act and constituted an of-
fence in itself.
The two cases of alleged
cheating and forgery were
filed against Fadnavis in 1996
and 1998 but charges were
not framed.

Mumbai
Having surpassed the 1954
record rainfall total (920mm)
for September, the monsoon
is inching towards breaching
another record from 1958,
even as it is staging a sedate
withdrawal from Mumbai.
However, the lingering rain
has caused an increase in hu-
midity and correspondingly,
discomfort. The India Mete-
orological Department (IMD)
has predicted light to moder-
ate rain with lightning in
Mumbai and its adjoining ar-
eas for the next two to three
days.
“We forecast a short spell of
rain, warm and humid
weather along with light
breeze for Tuesday and from
Wednesday, there will be a
slight increase in the rainfall
intensity and Mumbai and
suburbs may receive moder-
ate spells of rain,” said an of-
ficial on Monday.
Further, said the official,
monsoon withdrawal over
Maharashtra and Mumbai is
expected within the first 15
days of October. “Excess rain
has been recorded across
most parts of central and
south India owing to the re-
curring weather systems

said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra,
director-general, IMD.
“The highest seasonal rain-
fall recorded was 3,759.7mm
in 1958, while the lowest was
1,341.9mm in 1986. In 1954,
the city had received
3,500mm (approximate) rain-
fall. The city has already
breached the September
rainfall record set that year.
It crossed the 1,000mm mark
for the first time this month.
Mumbai has recorded 67 per
cent excess rainfall over four
months, with 3,666.1mm rain
so far, against the average of
2,200.7mm for this period. So
far, Mumbai has received
3,665mm rain” said the IMD
official.

The counsel for deity ‘Ram

not want to participate in the
mediation proceedings to
amicably resolve the Ram-

Senior lawyer CS Vaidyan-
tahan, appearing for deity
‘Ram Lalla Virajman, re-
ferred to some media reports

he did not want to take part
in the mediation any further
and would like a judicial de-
cision from the bench.

tice Ranjan Gogoi, was hear-
ing the decades-old sensitive
case on the 34th day after
commencing the day-to-day
proceedings on August 6 af-

continue with the day-to-day
hearing in the case and in
the meantime, the parties
can still go ahead with the

solve the dispute.

ing that some parties have
written to him for resuming
the mediation process.

PANAJI: Police investigating the circulation of racy posters
canvassing for a ‘nude party’ in a Goa beach village, on Monday
said no such event was on the cards and that the scam was
conceived by a techie dropout who was short of money. According
to Superintendent of Police (Crime) Pankaj Kumar Singh, the accused
Armaan Mehta a resident of Katihar district in Bihar, had planned to
swindle money from people wanting to attend the fictitious event
by charging them a pre-event fee. Mehta was arrested after a multi-

tasked to investigate the origins of the nude party posters, which
went viral on the social media last week.

BHOPAL: The proposed dam on Narmada and Ganjal rivers
under the joint irrigation project may affect as many as 23
villages in three districts of Madhya Pradesh. The
construction of dam, tenders for which have been invited,
will submerge 2,371 hectares forest across Harda,

opposing the Morand-Ganjal joint irrigation project, the
Environment Minister in 2017 had said the project would

PMC & HDIL HONCHOS BOOKED FOR...
Amid reports that the bank reportedly sat over Rs 6,600 crore of its
Non-Performing Assets, which was uncannily equivalent to the
unrecovered loan allotted to HDIL, the official said, "The
assessment of Rs 4388.43 crore loss suffered by the bank is based
on prima facie findings. It is possible more loans could have gone
underreported or were not reported at all," he said.
According to the FIR, the embezzlement and misappropriation of
the bank took place between 2008 and August 2019, wherein
huge volumes of loans were allotted to HDIL and its' subsidiary
firms by opening accounts in the PMC's central branch at Bhandup
(w). Though the loans were defaulted, the outstanding money was
never shown as the bank's Non-Performing Assets during the
audits; neither was the RBI informed about it. Rather, separate fake
accounts were created where lesser volumes of non-refundable

No time for Kashmir with Ayodhya...
It is to be seen whether this Bench would tackle the score of
problems from the lockdown first and pass any interim orders
before hearing the petitions challenging abrogation of Article 370
and the Centre's unilateral move to change the status of J&K into
two territories through an Act of Parliament.
The 3-judge Bench headed by the CJI took on record the Centre's
response that the restrictions clamped in Jammu and Kashmir were
based on formidable reasons and that has helped in stopping
thousands of instances of death, terror and violence that was
going on in the state since 1990.
The affidavits filed by the Centre, including one on September 16,
have been constantly insisting that false allegations are being
made, as the people of Kashmir lack nothing, neither food nor
medicines nor free movement.
The Centre has also insisted that restrictions under Section 144 on
assembly of more than five persons had been removed in 93 out of
105 (88.57%) police stations of Kashmir division; in all 90 police
stations (100%) in Jammu division; and in all 7 (100%) police
stations of Ladakh division.
It has further said three months' stock of essential commodities
such as food grains, LPG cylinders, petrol, diesel, etc. had been
faccilitated. Giving statistics to the court, the government said
8,98,050 LPG refills were home-delivered to consumers in the last
one month and 6.46 lakh quintals of ration were distributed
among consumers in Kashmir.
It said primary, middle and high schools were functioning normally
across Jammu and Ladakh Division (100%) while 97% of all
schools were functioning in the Kashmir Division.
The prolonged lockdown has seen many habeas corpus petitions.
Instead of ordering the authorities to prove the well-being of those
detained or arrested, the Supreme Court allowed the petitioners to
travel to J&K to meet the persons but under certain conditions.

agency to keep an eye on her
clients. The agency had set
up an office in one of the gov-
ernment office in the state
capital.
The revelation has left the
Special Investigation Team
(SIT) dumbstruck as the of-
fice is based on the third
floor of one of the most se-
cure building of the state.
The entry was restricted.
Only a handful of officials,
detective agency’s employees
and the gang member had
access to the office.
Any SIT action in this re-
gard is likely to put the de-
partment concern in the
dock. The SIT is trying to fig-
ure out as to how a private
agency was allowed to use
government office to spy on
other officers without gov-
ernment approval.
The detective agency not
only recorded calls but also
monitored SMSes, What-

Girls arrested in honey trap case on Monday accused Special

remaining two Aarti Dayal and Monika Yadav are already on

Indore police produced the three accused in District and
Sessions court, Bhopal, for transit remand. Defense counsel of
an accused opposed the transit remand terming it a tactics to
stay in Bhopal for another day in the name of investigation.
They were produced in court of JMFC Bharat Kumar Vyas.
Advocate Vijay Chaudhary, who appeared on behalf of Sweta

tactics of Indore police to stay in Bhopal for one more day in

Sena positions Aaditya as CM face
Varun Sardesai, the secretary of Yuva Sena and close confidante of
Aaditya, had tweeted during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that the
BJP and the Sena will have a revolving door for the CM.
The Sena is expected to pursue this goal in the earnest –
Assembly election results are out.
Immediately after the Lok Sabha results, the Sena, especially
Aaditya, have focussed on strengthening their party at the grass-
root level. He has been connecting with people directly, reaching
out to them to ascertain their feedback.
At the time, when CM Devendra Fadnavis was planning to
organise a mass outreach programme, the Sena, too, launched a
similar programme for Aaditya. Aaditya's Jan Aashirwad Yatra was
silently competing with the Mahajanandesh Yatra of Fadnavis.
Aaditya'a yatra too got a huge response, so did that of Fadnavis.
Despite being the first timer in the State assembly, he is being
considered as a leader at par with the CM.
"We are very happy that Aadityaji has agreed to contest. He has
established himself as a promising and trusted leader of the young.
In politics, a leader above 40 years is also dubbed young. But
Aadityaji is indeed young and can understand the issues of the
youth. He has addressed around 80 Aaditya Samwad programmes
where he interacted directly with the youth," said Varun Sardesai.
Critics, however, say, the CM will be determined by the post-poll
maths. Obviously, if the BJP wins 120 to 140 seats, then the
prospect of the Sena getting the CM’s post are slim. But in case the
gap between the two parties is slender, Sena will insist on rotation,
if the BJP wishes to share the political space with it. The Sena
strategy is to ride on popular sentiment and wean away at least
five per cent of these young voters,’’ Varun said, putting the game
plan in perspective.
After several rounds of discussions, the Sena and the BJP have
announced their alliance, but the seat sharing formula is still
Pak invite for Manmohan, not PM?
Qureshi said that a formal invitation will be extended to
Manmohan Singh in this regard. Singh is highly respected in
Pakistan. That is why we are going to invite him, Qureshi added.
While the Congress remained tight-lipped about the issue, sources
said the office of the former prime minister has no information
about the invite so far. The sources said he is unlikely to go as he
had not visited Pakistan even during his tenure as prime minister
for 10 years.
Pakistan is scheduled to open the Kartarpur Corridor for Sikh
pilgrims on November 9, days ahead of the 550th birth anniversary
of Sikhism founder Baba Guru Nanak Dev on November 12.
“The Kartarpur Corridor inauguration is a big programme and
Pakistan is preparing for it in a big way,” Qureshi said, noting that
Prime Minister Imran Khan has a personal interest in it.
Duo held in Palghar with 3 AK-47s
The police are yet to ascertain if the AK-47s were being transported
for terror activities; it is also still to verify if the drug money was
meant to be used for the upcoming elections in Maharashtra.
Farmers halt onion auction
to arrive from the south as well as Pune, Chakan, Ahmednagar and
Nashik in the next three weeks, which in turn would have naturally
reined in the prices.
Farmer leader Rajendra Dhokale warned of an agitation if
cultivators did not get fair price for their onion stocks, hinting that
prices could crash drastically during the festival season that began
with Navratri.
APMC chairperson Suvarna Jagtap spoke of approaching Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra
Fadnavis to press their demand for a rethink.
The auction at the Lasalgaon Agriculture Produce Market

Hemant Sharma made farmers
pose for photo with display
board dangling around their
neck, like criminals, during
survey of damaged crops.
As soon as the news spread,
Vidisha collector Kaushalendra
Vikram Singh ordered inquiry by
sub-divisional magistrate (SDM).
Leader of opposition (LoP) Gopal
Bhargava has also condemned
the government over the incident
and registered his protest.
According to information, survey
of damage to crops due to rain is
underway. Sharma, recently
selected through State
Administrative Service (SAS),
wanted to be more precise in
survey and got farmers pose for
photograph with display board
hanging around their necks. The
display board contained
information about damage to the
crop. The photographs taken
gave impression of photographs
of jail inmates. The display board
flashed information, including
name of farmer and crop, Khasra
number and details about the
land. Bhargava said it was
highly condemnable on the part
of the government to get survey
done with slates tied around the
necks of farmers similar to
offenders. Bhargava claimed
that the government, instead of
giving relief to affected farmers
was insulting them. He alleged
that the government instead of
giving relief to farmers was
treating them as criminals.
On the other hand, collector
reiterated that orders to stop
taking such photographs during
survey have been issued. SDM
has been instructed to investigate
the matter. Collector said action
would be taken if anyone was
found taking such photographs
of farmers forcibly.
release signed by the BJP state president Chandrakant Patil and
Sena leader Subhash Desai. It confirms the formation of a grand
alliance but cryptically adds that the seat-sharing will be
announced later.
Core sectors contract
"This is first contraction in core infrastructure output since April
2019, suggesting the weak demand conditions. All eyes are now
on festival demand to push industrial growth," said Devendra
Kumar Pant, Chief Economist and Senior Director, Public Finance,
India Ratings & Research (Fitch Group).
"The MPC will take note of weak demand, falling growth and low
inflation in its monetary policy review on October 4, 2019. Ind-Ra
expects a rate cut in October monetary policy review, however, the
extent of cut could depend on the assessment of growth impact of
policy measures announced by the government in past few
weeks."The turnaround in refinery products, which is the largest
constituent of the core sector, and a small uptick in the growth of
fertilisers prevented a deeper contraction in the growth of the core
sectors in August 2019.
were soaring. Once the situation is back to normal, the ban will be
lifted. This happens across the world, it is part of economics,’’
Narendra Taneja,BJP National Spokesperson, was quoted as saying
by The Print news portal.
Viju Khote ‘Kalia’: Andaz Apna Apna
Viju and Shubha Khote, along with niece Balsavar, featured in
1993's much loved and popular show "Zabaan Sambhalke" (based
on the "Mind Your Language" series). The actor continued to
appear in commercial Hindi films, reprising his role of Robert in
Santoshi's "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani".
In 2010, he had a special appearance in Rohit Shetty's "Golmaal 3"
as the quintessential Bollywood house-help Shambhu Kaka. Sister
Shubha Khote played Kalindi, the suspicious aunt to Bindya
Goswami in the 1979 original "Gol Maal", directed by Hrishikesh
Mukherjee.
Viju starred in around 300 films in his over five decade-long career
in both Hindi and Marathi cinema, such as National Award-winning
Marathi film "Ventilator" (2016), "Garam Masala", "Pukar", "Mela",
"China Gate", "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak", among others. — PTI

O
nce in a long time, a nation’s whole mood
changes and the unthinkable becomes think-
able. Britain experienced such a moment in 1940
when Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had lost con-
trol of his Conservative party, opening the way for a
deeply distrusted outsider to enter No 10 Downing
Street. That man was Winston Churchill who eventual-
ly became Britain’s national hero. A lesser example oc-
curred in November 1990. Margaret Thatcher had been
invincible for more than a decade. But suddenly, amid
deep social divisions caused by the introduction of her
poll tax, the Iron Lady, broken and humiliated, was
forced to leave Downing Street in tears.
Something similar happened in May this year when
Theresa May, after months of clinging on to office in the
face of disloyalty from fellow Tories, abominable treat-
ment by Brussels and a series of personal humiliations,
announced in an emotional statement that she was step-
ping down as Britain’s prime minister. Mrs May’s fail-
ure was: her Brexit deal failed again and again to im-
press squabbling MPs in parliament. Her exit paved the
way for the election of Boris Johnson, regarded as an ec-
centric, gaffe-prone populist who had earlier quit Mrs
May’s cabinet over her soft Brexit deal, as Britain’s
prime minister in July. Within days of taking office as
prime minister, the hard Brexiter Johnson promised to
take Britain out of the European Union (EU) with or
without a deal on October 31.
However, last month, he suffered two successive major
defeats in parliament to execute his plans. A third defeat
came his way when Johnson’s attempt to call a snap
election failed to get support of two-thirds of lawmak-
ers in the House of Commons, which came right after
monumental uncertainty ahead of the October 31 Brex-
it deadline.
It is no exaggeration to say that the outcome of events
over Brexit will affect the lives of every British citizen.
Forget all the talk of the past 38 months about the 17.4
million who voted to leave EU and the 16.1 million who
said they wanted UK to remain in EU, what happens
over the coming days and weeks will have huge eco-
nomic and social repercussions for Britain’s 66 million
people. At the moment all eyes are on Boris Johnson, the
parliament and the EU as technically Britain is just a
month away from crashing out of EU. A law designed to
stop a no-deal Brexit has been passed. But if a deal does-
n’t come though by October 19, and MPs don’t vote in
favour of leaving with no deal, then the prime minister
will be legally obliged to ask the EU for a Brexit delay.
Johnson has said he is trying to negotiate a new deal
with the EU. If that happens and MPs back it before Oc-
tober 31, there would be no need for an extension. The
existing deal negotiated by Mrs May has been defeated
in the House of Commons several times and is dead
now. The stumbling block between the UK and EU is the
Irish backstop–a protocol in the withdrawal agreement
that would keep the UK in the customs union and the
Northern Ireland, in particular, in the single market till
a solution is found to prevent a hard border between
Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The gov-
ernment wants a deal with the backstop removed,
which is not acceptable to the EU.
There are also talks going on to go for a Northern Ire-
land-only backstop as a possible solution. But this op-
tion will keep the Northern Ireland more closely tied to
EU than the rest of the UK. This could be unacceptable
Boris Johnson has said he remains determined to se-
cure UK’s exit at the end of October, although the law
passed in September obliges him to seek another delay,
unless a deal with the EU is struck or parliament agrees
otherwise. Reports in British media suggest that the
government may look for loopholes to get around the
law, but the problem is that such an attempt would pro-
voke another legal challenge. After the law was passed
to block no-deal Brexit, the prime minister and his team
have stepped up efforts to seek a new withdrawal deal
and the SC’s ruling could well prompt a renewed drive
in this direction. However, what has been interpreted as
a new willingness by UK and the EU, the gap between
both sides still appears to be wide, while time is running
out fast.
Even if Johnson requests an extension, there is no
guarantee that all the EU countries would accede to his
request. Given such a scenario, an early election is wide-
ly expected after October 31. This could happen either
by two-thirds majority vote or through a short new law,
which would require only a simple majority in parlia-
ment. Other possibilities include a vote of no confi-
dence by the prime minister in his government or a call
for vote of no confidence by the opposition. In both cas-
es, the most likely outcome would be a snap poll. There
is also the legal option of cancelling Brexit altogether
by revoking Article 50. But that could be possible only
after a change in government. For now, it appears that
Britain may be headed for its third general election in
four years.

Genetic study shows that ageing hinders cancer
ETCETERA13
LONDON: The human ageing processes may hinder cancer development, according to a study. Normally, the study noted that a healthy cell could
divide in a controlled manner whereas in senescent or ‘sleeping’ cells, they lost their ability to divide. The number of senescent cells in our bodies
increases as we age, driving many age-related processes and diseases, the researchers said. Genetic mutations, the study noted, caused cells to
replicate uncontrollably, leading to cancer. The researchers said that cells often detect these mutations and go to sleep to stop the proliferation.
However, they found that in most of the tissues examined, ageing and cancer gene expression “surprisingly changed in the opposite direction.” -PTI MUMBAI | TUESDAY | OCTOBER 1, 2019

researchers from Augusta
University in the US.
The sleep aid was most ef-
fective in reducing suicidal
thoughts in patients with the
most severe insomnia. There
were no deaths or suicide at-
tempts by participants dur-
ing the course of the study.
Two weeks after the study
concluded both study groups
— including those not taking
the sleep aid — appeared to
have maintained progress
with reduced depression
scores and suicidal thoughts.

f you think smartphones
we use are far more pow-
erful than the personal
computers (PCs), it's time
you give it a second thought.
According to a top executive
from IT major HP Inc, the
use of PCs, especially among
the Gen Z, is on the rise. In
an interview with IANS,
Alex Cho who is President,
Personal Systems, HP Inc,
said that as per the latest
trends, Gen Z is actually us-
ing PCs more than
millennials.
“We are seeing a big shift.
We have been measuring
people using PCs, smart-
phones and also tablets. The
data that we have show that
creasing while on tablets, it
is going down. People are do-
ing a lot of interesting cre-
ations — digital creations —
on their PCs,” he said. Elabo-
rating the different usages of
PCs, Cho said that PC-based
gaming is growing tremen-
dously while video confer-
encing and chatting on PCs
are increasing too.
“What people started on
their phones, they are doing
those on their PCs now. This
category is becoming in-
creasingly relevant, particu-
larly among the younger
generation, which we are ex-
cited about, as that means
we have a lot of room to
innovate.” —IANS

We wanted to see whether a
smart shirt could provide an
accurate and more practical
alternative for measuring
lung function,” said Denise
Mannee, a technical physi-
cian from Radboud Universi-
ty. The researchers can now
test out the smart shirts with
patients who have chronic
obstructive pulmonary dis-
ease (COPD).
COPD is a growing prob-
lem with around 64 million
people suffering with the
condition worldwide. The
smart shirt, called the “Hex-
oskin”, senses how the fabric
stretches when the wearer's
chest expands and contracts
Researchers compared the
measurements recorded us-
ing the two techniques for
each person doing each ac-
tivity on the two occasions.
In general, they found that
the measurements were very
similar. When lying, the dif-
ference between measure-
ments taken by the two
pieces of equipment was just
0.2 per cent on average,
which only represents a few
millilitres of air. “These re-
sults are important because
they indicate that the smart
shirt can be worn by patients
while they go about their
daily lives to accurately
measure their lung func-
tion,” said Mannee. —IANS

W
e can see Navratri is being cele-
brated with a lot of fanfare and
excitement, and on the third day
it is dedicated to Goddess Chandraghan-
ta, who symbolises peace and serenity.
This Maa Durga ‘Shakti’ sitting astride a
tiger, displays a golden hue to her skin,
possesses 10 hands and three eyes. Eight
of her hands display weapons while the
remaining two are respectively in the
mudras of gestures of boon giving and
stopping harm. Chandra + Ghanta,
meaning supreme bliss and knowledge,
showering peace and serenity, like cool
breeze in a moonlit night.
The importance
In Durga Pooja the third day of Navra-
tri is considered to be very important.
This day, the mind of the sadhak enters
Manipura Chakra. At this stage by the
grace of Maa Chandraghanta he be-
comes capable of seeing unearthly and
divine things. He smells the divine fra-
grance and many types of divine sounds
become audible to him. On this day and
in this stage of discipline the sadhak is
required to be most careful. By the grace
of Mother Chandraghanta all sins of the
sadhak (striver) are burnt up and obsta-
cles removed. Her worship is instantly
fruitful. She is always in a gesture as if
ready to proceed for the battlefield and
thus she removes the difficulties of devo-
tees very promptly.
Colour and offerings
Associated with growth, nature, and
energy, the colour of the day is green.
But she wears a grey-colored half-moon
on her forehead that symbolizes her
mood, ever ready to fight to destroy the
foes of her devotees. So primarily, one
should wear shades grey. Devotees on
this day offer milk to the goddess. One
can also cook elaborate dishes like sabu-
dana kheer or makhana kheer (with dry
fruits) for the bhog. It is believed that
praying this form of shakti could cure all
your problems in life.

NAGAL WALKS ALONE ON BOULEVARD

Despite producing breakthrough performances, India’s
new tennis sensation is yet to get the financial help he needs
AMANPREET SINGH
New Delhi
With his fearless approach, Sumit
Nagal impressed iconic Roger Fed-
erer at the US Open and then took
it forward by making two finals on
the Challenger circuit, but the
youngster is flabbergasted that
people are just "walking away"
when he needs support.
The 22-year-old won the Buenos
Aires Challenger on Sunday night
and jumped to a career-best rank of
135. The 26-place jump has consoli-
dated his status as India's number
two singles player behind Prajnesh
Gunneswaran (84).
However, the paucity of funds
meant that neither he had his
coach by his side nor the physio,
who could help him recover from
the gruelling matches on red dirt
in the Argentinian city.
"I was all alone here. No one was
with me to help out. One way, it has
been great that I have been playing
good tennis but it's not easy to do it
and I'm really sad," Nagal told PTI
from Buones Aires.
"The path is lonely despite doing
well at the US Open. I qualified at
22 and led a set against Roger Fed-
erer but it still has not made im-
pact anywhere. It's really sad no-
body is coming up to invest into
tennis," he added.
Nagal figured in the govern-
ment's Target Olympic Podium
Scheme (TOPS), receiving finan-
cial support for some time but was
later dropped.
The scheme offers a monthly fi-
nancial aid of Rs 50,000 to athletes
who are medal prospects at the
Olympics.
As of now, only doubles special-
ists Rohan Bopanna and Divij Sha-
ran is getting support through
TOPS and none of the country's
singles tennis players are a benefi-
ciary.
Multiple Grand Slam title winner
Mahesh Bhupathi, who mentored
Nagal after hand-picking him from
a tennis clinic, said if a player of
the caliber of Nagal can't get
enough support, then it's failure of
the system.
"Sumit is obviously a special tal-
ent and it shows with what he has
done in the last six months. When
you see talent like him who are not
nutured and supported keeping in
mind the coming Olympics or the
next one, I consider it a colossal
failure of the system," Bhupathi
fumed.
"Then no one has the right to ask
later why India doesn't produce
champions," Bhupathi, who won 12
Grand Slam trophies, added.
Nagal gets support from Virat
Kohli Foundation but it does not
cover all expenses that a tennis
player needs.
"They are providing a good
amount but as you can see in ten-
nis you need a team like all the top
100 players have , coach, fitness ,
physio etc which adds up," said
Bhupathi.
The estimated required annual
budget for Nagal is around 220,000
euros (Rs 1.5 crore).
The Jhajjar-born Nagal said he is
surprised that despite zooming up
close to top-100, support has not
swelled enough.
"I still have the exact budget
which I had in 2018 when I was
ranked 350. It's that when I needed
the most which is right now, I see
people turning around and walk-
ing away."
Bhupathi is well-connected and
has been trying hard to get spon-
sors on board. But with corporate
Fenesta Open: Easy day
for Kunal, Dakshineshwar
NEW DELHI: Fourth seed Ku-
nal Anand and Dakshinesh-
war Suresh entered the men's
singles second round of Fen-
esta Open but former champi-
on Mohit Mayur Prakash
bowed out of the National
Hard Courts Tennis Champi-
onship due to a knee injury
here on Monday.
Delhi's fourth seed Kunal
faced some stiff resistance
from UP's Lakshya Gupta,
who impressed with his
ground strokes but eventually
emerged a 6-2 6-4 winner on
the opening day of the 25th
edition of the tournament.
With a stronger built and ex-
perience behind him, Kunal
played the key points better,
even as the young Lakshya
gave his all in the contest.
Dakshinehswar, the tall Chen-
nai player, had an easy day in
office as he thrashed state-
mate Mohammad Fahad 6-2 6-
1 in his opening round.
"This was a kind of warm
support not coming, he had decid-
ed to knock the doors of those who
know something about creating
champions.
"Well only an athlete can under-
stand talent in my opinion. So now
I am trying to route it through Gopi
(Gopichand) and Malav and hope-
fully they can advise the best way
forward," he said.
Nagal said people only make
up. I have worked on my fit-
ness in the last six months and
have become stronger. My new
coach wants me to get some
muscles," said Daskshinesh-
war, who now trains with Ra-
jiv Vijay Kumar in Chennai.
A lot of people gathered to
watch Mayur, who became a
champion way back in 2013, in
action but he retired mid way
into the contest against third
seed Eshaque Iqbal from West
Bengal. Mohit stepped on to
the courts with his left knee
supported by a thin covering.
His deep returns were trou-
bling the Kolkatan and he was
leading 6-4 1-0 when he pulled
out of the contest.
On the women's side, young
Rashmikaa Bhamidipaty from
Telangana knocked out sixth
seed Sai Samhita from Chen-
nai, 7-5 6-3. Sai Samhita's sin-
gle-hand backhand was at
work but Rashmikaa served
much better, setting up free-
flowing forehand winners.
promises but when the time comes,
they look the other side.
"I am still stuck. I have to find a
way to get my coach on tour to help
me. Most of the tournaments I did
in summer was by myself. It's fun-
ny how they say if you need any
help let us know and when you ac-
tually ask them or write an email
they don't even bother replying to
you," he said.

‘NBA is here to take over cricket
as the Number 1 sport in India’
Legendary Ebony Hoffman says the American association
has plans to develop basketball right from the grassroots
ALI ASGAR NALWALA
Mumbai
Women’s National Basketball
Association (WNBA) legend
Ebony Hoffman is confident
that basketball will soon be
able to challenge the status
quo in the Indian sporting
scene and will be a game
every kid will want to play in
the future.
"We are coming here to take
over. We love India and we
know that cricket is the Num-
ber 1 sport here. We want to
grow our game and show In-
dia that they have basketball,
which can also be the Num-
ber 1 sport."
The 37-year-old, who is in
Mumbai this week as a part
of different NBA pro-
grammes being held across
the city, also said that despite
the temptations of starting a
lucrative basketball league
in India on the lines of Indi-
an Premier League and oth-
ers, the NBA is currently fo-
cusing on developing basket-
ball from the grassroot level
and steadily going up the
ranks.
“We are first going to start at
the grassroot level and see
how that goes. We will figure
it out before going up the
ranks but anything is possi-
ble. I think we need to work
with the federations to make
sure that we can coincide
that, and when the federa-
tions work together like we
are doing it now with our
academies, we are all good.”
When asked what objective
NBA wants to achieve with
such grassroots community,
youth basketball and elite de-
velopment events and how
the NBA plans on improving
the coaching facility in India,
Hoffman said, "It is about
what they don’t know. And
that is what we are here to
bring. How could you teach
what you don’t know, right?
So we are here to tell them
that we are going to give you
the skills, we are going to
give the curriculum and we
will just be encouraging.
"Basketball is not mistake-
free, there is no perfect game.
Even if you make 100 per
cent in your shots, you still
get something wrong. So you
need to be more encouraging
to the players and let them
know that they can do it.
“At NBA Academy in New
Delhi, we have got an Indian
player, who is 6’8’’ point
guard. He can fly high and
can shoot the ball from long.
We have another Indian play-
er from Australia, who is
changing the game. I think
India is on the verge of pro-
ducing an NBA player, we
also have Omar, a post player
who is in NBA Academy, and
getting offers from D-1
(NCAA Division I) from
America. So there is going to
be an Indian there in NBA
very soon."
Commenting on the upcom-
ing NBA pre-season matches
to be played in Mumbai, Hoff-
man said the Indian audience
will see a wider range of tal-
ent that they have never seen
live before. "It’s a lot different
when you see in person and
when you see it on your TV
screen. So I am excited for all
of India to see that in person
and raise their game."
While the October 4 game is
reserved for over 3,000 youth
under a Reliance Foundation
Junior Programme, the one
to be played the next day at
NSCI in Worli is open for gen-
eral public. Hoffman on Mon-
day took a session with girls
and taught them the basics of
basketball.
