The Supreme Court will pro-nounce its verdict on

Wednesday on several impor-tant Constitutional issues raisedby the 15 rebel KarnatakaCongress and Janata Dal (S)MLAs as well State ChiefMinister HD Kumaraswamyand Assembly Speaker KRRamesh Kumar.

The issues before the SCare following: a) pleas of therebel MLAs for direction toSpeaker Kumar to accept theirresignation from the Assembly;b) Kumaraswamy contentionthat the SC had no jurisdictionto pass the two interim ordersasking the Speaker to decideand, later, to maintain the sta-tus quo on the resignations anddisqualification of the rebelMLAs; C) Speaker’s plea to thecourt to modify its earlierorder directing him to main-tain status quo in the ongoingpolitical crisis in the State.

A Bench headed by ChiefJustice Ranjan Gogoi onTuesday concluded hearing onthe pleas of the rebel MLAs, theSpeaker and Kumaraswamy.

Appearing for the 15MLAs, senior advocate MukulRohatgi asked the Bench tocontinue with its interim orderdirecting the Speaker to main-tain status quo on the issue ofresignation and disqualificationof the MLAs.

The counsel for the rebelMLAs also asked the Benchthat if the House assembles forbusiness, the 15 rebel MLAs beexempted from appearing on

despite the whip of the rulingcoalition which, he said, hasbeen reduced to minorityGovernment.

Senior advocate RajeevDhavan, appearing forKumaraswamy, told the Benchthat the Speaker cannot becompelled to decide this issuein a time-bound manner.“When resignation process isnot in order, the court cannotdirect Speaker to decide by 6pm,” he told the Bench, alsocomprising Justices DeepakGupta and Aniruddha Bose.

Kumaraswamy also toldthe SC that the rebel MLAswere hunting in a pack todestabilise his Governmentand the court should not haveentertained their petitions.

Senior advocate AMSinghvi, appearing for theSpeaker, told the Bench that nodirection was issued to theKarnataka Speaker by the courtin the midnight hearing whenfloor test was ordered and BSYedurappa was invited to formthe Government last year.

He told the Bench that the

Speaker was yet to decide onthe resignation and disqualifi-cation of rebel MLAs and thecourt had ample power to pun-ish them.

The Speaker urged theapex court to modify its earli-er order directing him to main-tain status quo in the ongoingpolitical crisis in the State evenas the rebel MLAs accusedhim of acting in a partisanmanner by not deciding ontheir resignations.

Singhvi said the Speakerwould decide on both disqual-

ification and resignation of therebel MLAs by Wednesday butthe court should modify its ear-lier order asking him to main-tain status quo.

Rohtagi argued that theSpeaker cannot keep the resig-nation of these MLAs pendingand by doing so he is acting ina partisan manner.

Countering his submis-sions, Singhvi told the Benchthat Speakers cannot be askedto decide the matter in a time-bound manner.

“How can the Speaker bedirected to decide in a partic-ular manner?” Singhvi askedthe court. “Such orders are notpassed even to a trial court.”

He also said a valid resig-nation should be submitted tothe Speaker personally; theMLAs appeared before himonly on July 11, five days afterthey submitted their resigna-tions to his office.

The rebel MLAs told thecourt that the Speaker kepttheir resignation pending justto disqualify them and therewas nothing wrong in resign-ing to escape disqualification.

Rohatgi submitted beforethe Bench that the Speaker canbe directed to decide on theresignation of the MLAs by 2pm and he can take a call ontheir disqualification later.

The Bench asked Rohatgiif there was any Constitutionalobligation on the Speaker todecide on the MLAs’ disqual-ification which was initiatedafter the resignation.

Rohatgi said the rules sayto “decide now” on resignation.

“How can the Speaker keep itpending?”

The rebel MLAs told thecourt that the StateGovernment has been reducedto minority and the Speaker bynot accepting their resignationshas attempted coercing them tovote for the Government in thetrust vote.

Disqualification proceed-ing is a mini-trial under theConstitution’s 10th Schedule,said Rohatgi, adding that res-ignation is different and itsacceptance is based on a singlecriterion alone — whether it isvoluntary or not.

There is nothing to showthe rebel MLAs conspired withthe BJP, the senior advocatesaid. The disqualification pro-ceeding was nothing but toscuttle resignation of MLAs, hesaid. He also told the court thatthe disqualification proceed-ings were initiated for notbeing a disciplined soldier ofthe party and for not attendingmeetings outside the House.

The Bench further asked ifall the disqualification pleas areon same grounds, to whichRohatgi replied “more or lesssame”.

He had also told the courtthat the Speaker has to only seeif the resignations were volun-tary or not. “Resignation has tobe accepted, there is no otherway to deal with it,” Rohatgitold the court.

“It is my fundamental rightto do whatever I want to do andcannot be bound due to non-acceptance of resignation byspeaker,” submitted Rohatgi.

The move will give relief tointernational airlines as well as AirIndia, which suffered a hugefinancial loss of around �491 croreas it had to re-route its variousinternational flights due to the clo-sure of the Pakistan airspace.

Pakistan’s Civil AviationAuthority issued a notice to air-men (NOTAM) around 12.41am Indian Standard Time, stat-ing that “with immediate effectPakistan airspace is open for alltype of civil traffic on publishedATS (air traffic service) routes”.

In a second major rain-relat-ed mishap in Maharashtra in

a little over a fortnight, at least11 persons were killed andeight others injured when a100-year-old dilapidated four-storey building collapsed atthe congested Dongi locality insouth Mumbai.

Indications available late onTuesday suggested that the tollin the mishap might go up asabout 40 persons are fearedtrapped under the debris of theill-fated building. Teams of theNational Disaster ResponseForce (NDRF) and MumbaiFire Brigade continued their

search and rescue operationstill late in the night.

The 80-year-old Kesarbaibuilding — which in July lastyear had been classified instructural audit submitted tothe Brihanmumbai MunicipalCorporation (BMC) as a struc-ture “to be evacuated for demo-lition at the earliest” — cavedin around 11.30 am, trappingthe residents under its debris.

There were in all 15 fami-lies in the building when it col-lapsed like pack of cards.

As per the fatality andinjury figures released by theBMC at 8 pm, at least 11 per-sons were killed and eight oth-ers injured in the mishap. The

deceased included an 18-month-old boy Ibrahim, a 13year-old girl and three women.Eight persons, including achild, were rescued in aninjured condition and wererushed to Habib Hospital.

Among those killed wasone Abdul Sattar Shaikh, saidto be the owner of the building.

Expressing his anguishover the mishap, PrimeMinister Narendra Modi tweet-ed: “Collapse of a building inMumbai’s Dongri is anguish-ing. My condolences to thefamilies of those who lost theirlives. I hope the injured recov-er soon. MaharashtraGovernment, NDRF and local

authorities are working on res-cue operations.”

Maharashtra ChiefMinister Devendra Fadnavisordered a detailed inquiry intothe collapse and fix responsi-bilities.

The Dongri building col-lapse comes 17 days after 15persons - most of whomlabourers and their familymembers from West Bengaland Bihar - were killed when acompound wall of a posh res-idential housing collapsed ontheir hutments near TalabMasjib Pune’s Kondhwa local-ity in the small hours of June29.

Soon after the Kesarbai

building collapse, a blame gamebegan between the BMC andthe State-run MaharashtraHousing and AreaDevelopment Authority(MHADA) over the jurisdic-tion and responsibility for themishap, after it emerged that aportion of the building wascompletely illegal.

Given that the Kesarbaibuilding is located in southMumbai’s most congested area,the operations becameextremely difficult as the res-cuers had to navigate throughlanes and by-lanes before theycould begin the search and res-cue operations.

Matters got complicated

further as political leadersrushed to the site along withtheir supporters after televisionchannels went to town aboutthe mishap.

Such was the chaos at themishap site that JCB machinesor heavy earth movingmachines could not be takenin. Even ambulances had to beparked around 50 meters awayfrom the crash site.

Maharashtra MinisterGirish Mahajan, who wasamong the Ministers thatrushed to the site, said: “Thelanes here are very narrow.That’s why this has become themost difficult rescue operationsever”.

Stating that private partner-ship is needed to speed up

projects in the country asGovernment does not havemoney, Union SurfaceTransport Minister NitinGadkari on Tuesday said peo-ple will have to pay toll if theywant good roads even as hemade it clear that the toll sys-tem would stay to generatemoney so that the publicmoney could be used to imple-ment road network in ruralregions.

Gadkari informed the LokSabha that his ministry isworking on a new greenexpressway from New Delhi toMumbai, which can be coveredin 12 hours. It will pass throughmost backward and tribal areasof Rajasthan, Gujarat andMaharashtra and also save Rs16,000 crore in land acquisi-tion.

Responding to demandsof several MPs, he said he willconsider if school buses orstate transport buses can beexempt from tolls. The coun-try has a shortage of over 25lakh drivers and he told MPsthat he will open a drivingtraining centre in each state.After Minister's reply, NKPremchandran ( RevolutionarySocialist Party) withdrew all ofhis cut-motions.

Replying to a discussion ondemands for grants for theRoad Transport and Highwaysministry in the house , theminister said land acquisitionwas an issue in implementingseveral projects in West Bengal,Bihar ,Kerala and Goa. Heasked MPs from West Bengal tocomplete land acquisitions andencroachments so that he couldgive green signal to the pendingroad projects in the state.

The Minister said theGovernment has built 40,000kilometres of highway in thelast five years.

Amid concerns expressedby some members over collec-tion of toll in different parts ofthe country, Gadkari said, “Tollzindagi bhar band nahi hosakta... Kam zyaada ho saktahai. Toll ka janamdata mainhoon... (Toll system can neverend though the rates may varyfrom time to time. Toll is mybrainchild.”

“If you want good services,you have to pay for it.Government does not havemoney...,” he said adding thetoll tax concept was first gen-erated in Maharashtra when hewas the State Minister.

Noting that more than 400projects worth 3.85 lakh crorewere closed when he assumedcharge of the ministry in 2014,Gadkari said the Modi gov-ernment saved Non-perform-

ing assets worth 3 lakh croreduring the past five years by re-starting work on these projects.

“There were 403 projectspending when Narendra Modicame to power involving a costof 3,85,000 crore. It is a greatachievement of Indian govern-ment that we saved bankers ofRs 3 lakh crore of NPAs andnow 90 per cent of projects aremoving fast,” he said.

Gadkari referred to formerUS President John F Kennedy'squote that “American roads arenot good because America isrich, but America is richbecause American roads aregood” to emphasise on build-ing good quality of highwaysand roads across the country toboost its economy.

Expressing anguish overdeaths caused by road acci-dents, he said his ministry hadidentified 786 black spots andadded that poor engineering isone of the main reasons forthem.

Gadkari said his ministry isworking to make Delhi pollu-tion-free and cited pollutionhas come down by 32 per centdue to various efforts, includ-ing building peripheral roads toprevent trucks bound for otherstates from entering the nation-al capital. All new vehiclesfrom April 1, 2020 will complywith Euro 6 emission norms, hesaid.

New Delhi: Aimed at prevent-ing sewer deaths in the coun-try, the Centre has asked allStates to set up an emergencyresponse sanitation unit(ERSU) on the lines of fire ser-vices.

Union Housing and UrbanAffairs (HUA) Secretary DurgaShanker Mishra has written tothe chief secretaries of statesand Union territories, sayingthat ERSU will be responsibleto attend any sanitation emer-gency request. The ERSU willbe responsible to meet sanita-tion emergency requests fromall smaller towns within a clus-ter of, say, 75 km radius.

“States/UTs/ ULBs (UrbanLocal Bodies) should set up anEmergency ResponseSanitation Unit (ERSU), onthe lines of the fire service sta-tion, in capital cities of eachstate/UT and also in all majorcities having a MunicipalCorporation and/or Water andSewerage Board (in whatevername it is called) with popula-tion of more than one lakh,”Mishra said in the letter.

Mishra told the states andUTs that the practice of “haz-ardous cleaning” of sewers andseptic tanks is completelybanned under the Preventionof Employment as ManualScavengers and theirRehabilitation Act, (PEMSRA),2013. As per a report, therehave been 1,340 deaths relatedto manual scavenging in thepast 10 years across the coun-try. According to numbers col-

lated by the NationalCommission for SafaiKaramcharis (NCSK), sinceJanuary 2017, one person hasdied every five days whilecleaning sewers and septictanks across the country.

Mishra said the govern-ment was seized of reportsabout incidents of deaths incourse of hazardous cleaning ofsewers and septic tanks.

Sanitation workers, whohave been traditionally engagedin sewer and septic tank clean-ing, should be properly trained,equipped and certified as sewerentry professionals (SEPs), theHUA secretary said.

“States and UTs shouldpromote mechanized cleaningof sewers/septic tanks by estab-lishing such units in each suchcity and keeping their contactnumber readily available forengaging in cleaning sewers/septic tanks at first instance, onpriority,” Mishra also said.

He added that entry of anyperson into a sewer and septictank other than a properlyequipped SEP, duly authorisedby ERSU, should be strictlybanned.

States and UTs should issuedirections to urban local bodiesand other appropriate authori-ties for filing FIR againstemployers if any person isallowed directly or indirectly toenter sewer and septic tankswithout proper protective equip-ments including such individu-als entering into sewer and sep-tic tank, Mishra added.

capacity of 36.77 million tonnesand 92 per cent of the capaci-ty is owned and operated byprivate entities.

In a reply to Lok Sabha,Union Agriculture MinisterNarendra Singh Tomar onTuesday said against totalstocks of 741.41 LMT (as onJune 1, 2019), the total storagecapacity available with FCI,Central WarehousingCorporation (CWC) and stateagencies (both owned andhired capacity), is 862.45 LMT(as on May 31, 2019) compris-ing 739.76 LMT in coveredgodowns and 122.69 LMT inCover and Plinth (CAP) stor-age.

“As per the latest availableinformation received fromStates, there are 8,038 cold

storages with capacity of 36.77million tonnes in the country,”he said during Question Hour.As per a study on All IndiaCold-chain InfrastructureCapacity , there was cold stor-age capacity of 32 milliontonnes in the country againstan approximate requirement of35 million tonnes.

The Minister said the baseline survey conducted duringDecember, 2013 by M/s HansaResearch Group estimated that92 per cent of cold storage areowned and operated by privatesector, three per cent cooper-ative and remaining five percent are under Public Sector.

Tomar said the Ministry ofConsumer Affairs, Food andPublic Distribution deals withstorage of foodgrains post pro-curement by the FoodCorporation of India (FCI)and state agencies.

Replying to another ques-tion, the minister said as suchthere is no harmful effect of fer-tilizers on soil fertility if appliedin a balanced and judiciousmanner.

“The average rate of con-sumption of chemical fertiliz-ers in the country is onlyaround 134 kg per hectare. The

patients have been made forhealth insurance under theAyushman Bharat- PradhanMantri Jan Arogya Yojana(AB-PMJAY) scheme since itwas launched in Septemberlast year.

According to the latestdata tabled in Parliament onTuesday, Gujarat tops the listwith claims worth �915 crorefollowed by Tamil Nadu at�618 crore and Karnataka(�553 crore). The scheme hasbeen most avai led inChhattisgarh where 611,216patients enrolled for the claimfollowed by Kerala (574,448)and Gujarat (523,011).

However, states like Bihar,Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhandand Madhya Pradesh, which

have poor health indicators, arenot the biggest users of thescheme as just 56,139, 130,721and 107,718 patients regis-tered under the scheme respec-tively, contrary to the expec-tations. In fact, in as many asfour States less than hundredpatients used the scheme.Similarly, Northeastern Statesexcept Assam too are yet towarm up to the scheme.

In West Bengal, whichwas initially reluctant toimplement the scheme had17,636 patients registeredunder the scheme with claimof over �17 crore. (See table)

Only Delhi, Odisha andTelangana have not signedthe MoU for implementationof AB-PMJAY.

Replying to a quer y,Ashwini Kumar Choubey,Minister of State for Healthsaid that under the scheme,the States have the flexibilityto choose the mode of imple-mentation.

They can either imple-ment it in insurance mode, orthrough a trust or in a mixedmode ie both the insuranceand trust mode. The Statesimplementing schemethrough Insurance mode

select Insurance Companythrough open tenderingprocess. The private insurancecompanies are allowed to bidin the open tendering processto allow level playing field,said the Minister.

However, he added, thedecision lies with the StateGovernment concerned andthe government has no role inthe selection of Insurancecompany.

Choubey further said thatunder the scheme, 1393 pro-cedures have been laid downfor treatment of beneficia-ries.

AB-PMJAY provides acover of up to �5 lakhs perfamily per year, for secondaryand tertiary care hospitalisa-tion to over 10.74 crore vul-nerable entitled families(approximately 50 crore ben-eficiaries).

Unusual torrential rainfallin catchment areas in

Nepal and subsequent massivedischarge of water in rivers ledto flash floods in Bihar where25 people have lost their livesin the last few days whilemore than one lakh peoplehave been evacuated, ChiefMinister Nitish Kumar told theAssembly on Tuesday.

A total of 25.72 lakh peo-ple have been affected by thenatural calamity so far, hesaid. In a statement, Kumarsaid floods normally strucknorth Bihar in August or,sometimes, in September, butthis time they came a monthearlier primarily because ofunusually heavy rainfall inthe Terai region of the neigh-bouring country.

For the last three-four days,the Terai region of Nepal hasbeen lashed by rainfalls rangingbetween 280-300 mm whichwas many times higher than the50 mm which is considerednormal for the area during thistime of the year. As a result, sev-eral rivers in Bihar like Kosi,Bagmati and Mahananda havebeen in spate, the ChiefMinister said in the House.

Twelve districtsMadhubani, Sitamarhi,Sheohar, East and WestChamparan, Supaul,Darbhanga, MuzaffarpurKatihar, Purnea, Kishanganjand Araria have been affectedby the floods, the CM added.

He cited the example of thecatchment area for Kamala riverin Nepal which received 203.60-

319.80 mm of rainfall on July 12-13. This led to a massive dis-charge of water in the riverwhich passes through Jayanagarin Madhubani district.

Water has inundated aroad bridge in Jayanagar whilein Jhanjharpur water level at arail bridge has reached 54.50metres, which is higher thanthe all-time record of 54.34registered in 1987.

The Kamala Balanembankment has beenbreached at six places, affect-ing several blocks ofMadhubani and Darbhangadistricts. Water level in theBagmati has broken previousrecords at several places affect-ing people in Sheohar,Sitamarhi and Muzaffarpurdistricts. All embankments

along the Bagmati have, how-ever, so far remainedunharmed, he added.

Besides, a dam over Khiroiriver burst in Darbhanga districtaffecting many villages.Excessive water discharge inMahananda has inundated largeparts of Kishanganj district. Allembankments in theMahananda basin are, howev-er, secure till now, Kumar added.Till 10 am Tuesday, 25 peoplehave died in the floods andinstructions have been issued forprompt payment of ex-gratia tothe next of their kin, he said.

The flood-hit area covers555 Panchayats of 78 blocksspread across these districts.Rescue work is being carriedout by 796 personnel equippedwith 125 motor boats.

Besides 26 teams of NDRFand SDRF are engaged in therescue operations and so far1.25 lakh people have beenevacuated from the maroonedareas, the Chief Minister said.

For those displaced byfloods, 199 relief camps havebeen set up which are at pre-sent inhabited by 1.16 lakhpeople. Their food is beingprepared at 676 communitykitchens. Instructions are inplace for setting up more reliefcamps and communitykitchens if such a need arises,he added.

Good quality of food anddrinking water is beingensured and so is availabilityof bleaching powder and chlo-rine tablets, ORS and anti-diarrhea drugs, he said.

With ISRO yet to officiallyannounce the nature of

the technical snag that prompt-ed it to call off launch ofChandrayaan 2, a former spacescientist on Tuesday com-mended the team for haltingthe high-stake Moon mission.

The launch of India’s sec-ond Moon mission aimed atlanding a rover on the unex-plored Lunar South Pole wasaborted early Monday due to a“technical snag” minutes beforethe scheduled lift-off of thecountry’s most powerful rock-et GSLV-MKIII from the space-port of Sriharikota.

Former Indian SpaceResearch Organisation (ISRO)scientist Nambi Narayanan,credited for his contributions inthe development of cryogenictechnology in the country’sspace programme, said callingoff the launch was disappoint-ing not just for the general pub-lic but even for the brainsbehind the Rs 978 crore project.

“It is a pity that countdownwas stopped. They (scientists)might have noticed somethingwrong. I feel the problem might(have been even) small but theymust not have wanted to takea chance”, he told PTI.

Narayanan’s commentscame even as the ISRO was yetto make any formal announce-ment on what went wrongduring the final hour of count-down that prompted the spaceagency to call it off 56 minutesbefore the lift-off.

Though none of the ISROofficials whom PTI contactedresponded, experts have said aglitch might have been noticedwhen the rocket’s liquid propel-lant was being loaded into thecryogenic upper stage engine.

Incidentally, an update byISRO around 1.34 am onMonday had said, “Filling ofLiquid Hydrogen in Cryogenicstage of #GSLVMkIII-M1 com-pleted. #Chandrayaan2 #ISROStay tuned for more updates.”

Narayanan said it was goodISRO halted the launch after

noticing the glitch. “It may be asmall thing, but that is alwaysgood (halting a launch insteadof going ahead). They are nowtrying to understand what wentwrong. What actually happened.So, we need to wait..” he said.

ISRO had earlier scheduledthe launch of the mission,headed by women scientistsRitu Karidhal and MuthayyaVanitha, in the first week ofJanuary but shifted it to July 15after chosing a launch windowbetween July 9 and 16.

Chandrayan-2, compris-ing an orbiter, a lander and arover, was to have been inject-ed into an Earth orbit about 16minutes after lift-off with thelander to touch down on theMoon surface 54 days laterthrough a series of criticalorbit rising manoeuvres.

The Kesarbai building col-lapsed at the congested

Dongi locality in southMumbai, which caved in like aproverbial pack of cards onTuesday morning, had in astructural audit report submit-ted to the Brihan MunicipalCorporation (BMC) had beendeclared as a “dangerous” struc-ture which was “to be evacuat-ed for demolition at the earliest”.

Even two years after theBMC classified as it as a dilap-idated structure that should bedemolished immediately, atleast 15 families were continu-ing to live in the Kesarbaibuilding, which is believed tobe 80 years' old.

Incidentally, the name ofKesarbai building is conspicu-ous by its absence in a list of499 “dangerous” buildings inthe metropolis prepared bythe BMC,

In a statement released inthe evening, the State-runMaharashtra Housing & AreaDevelopment Authority(MHADA) that KesarbaiBuilding — 25/C — had beenevacuated last year. The struc-ture, however, collapsed earli-er on Tuesday, leaving at least10 persons dead and eight oth-ers injured.

The MHADA stated thatthe structure that collapsed onTuesday was the illegal rearportion of the same buildingwhich does not fall within thepurview of either MHADA orMumbai Building Repairs &Reconstruction Board(MBRRB).

Meanwhile, an RTI replygiven by the BMC revealed that

from January 2013 till now,Mumbai has witnessed ashocking 2,704 different typesof crashes including buildings,walls, balconies, slabs, por-tions of homes, etc.

“The crashes have resultedin 234 deaths, including 82women and 152 men, besidesinjuring another 840, compris-ing 302 females and 538 males.Despite these tragedies, no stepshave been taken by the BMC todemolish the buildings declared'dangerous' in the past six years,”RTI activist Shakeel AhmedShaikh Sheikh said.

It may be recalled that in2014, a Bombay High CourtDivision Bench comprisingJustice AV Mohta and JusticeAA Sayed had directed theBMC to identify all dilapidat-ed and dangerous buildings inMumbai and put up their liston its website.

Based on the condition ofthe structures, the classifica-tions are: C2 - buildings whichcan be repaired, and C1 -buildings which cannot berepaired and must be demol-ished at the earliest, he added.

The court had also orderedthe BMC to draw up the listirrespective of its ownership -- whether private, Government,BMC, or any other agency --and send notices to the occu-pants to vacate such buildings.

Slamming the BMC andMHADA for passing the buck

like on the previous occasions,activist Shaikh — who had pro-cured several documents underRTI Act — said, “Since the highcourt’s order in 2014, the BMChas done nothing to evacuateall these 499 dangerous (C1)buildings and demolish them.We cannot rule out the possi-bility of another mishap duringthe current monsoon”.

The BMC’s “B ward” hadreceived a report from thetrust that owned the Kesarbaibuilding had received a struc-tural audit report on July 31,2017 stating that this buildinghad been classified as “C1”building. The “C1” categorisa-tion means that the building isin a dangerous state that “it isto be evacuated for demolitionat the earliest”. However, theresidents of Kesarbai buildinghad not vacated the buildingfor the past two years.

Following a complaint by aresident, the BMC had issueda notice to the KesarbaiBuilding owners, Bai HirabaiRahimbhai Aloo Paroo and BaiKesarbai Dharamsay KhakooCharitable and Religious Trust,ordering them to carry out astructural audit of the structure.

A month later, the BMClearnt that the building wasactually a cessed building ofMaharashtra Housing & AreaDevelopment Authority(MHADA), over which it hadno jurisdiction.

Amid reports that MamataBanerjee has roped in

India’s new age election guruPrashant Kishor to revive herparty Trinamool Congress’electoral fortunes in Bengal, thepoll strategist has kick-starteda grand plan to enroll at least5 lakh youth in his “youth inpolitics” campaign.

These youth, thus draftedin politics will augment abefuddled TMC’s worker force.The Bengal ruling outfit suf-fered stunning reverses at thehands of a surging BJP in therecently concluded Lok Sabhaelections whence the saffronparty romped home with 18out of 42 seats leaving 22 for the

Trinamool and two for theCongress. In its worst defeatsince 2006 the TMC conceded12 seats to the Opposition.

Assembly segment-wisethe Lok Sabha election resultsprojected a whopping gain of127 seats for the BJP in a 294-member House whereas theTMC’s strength hoveredaround 155 and 160, down 55-60 seats from its 2016 tally.

Considering a general per-ception that Bengal ruling partyhad degenerated into a crimi-nalised outfit, Kishor is work-ing on an image-building exer-cise. Recruitment and trainingof clean, well-cultivated anduntested faces is a part of hisprogramme, sources said.

Kishor’s organisation I-PAC

is targeting all classes of youth;but mostly the unemployedones, sources said adding hisrecruitment programme iscalled “Youth in Politics” or YIP.Even those who have voted forthe BJP or admire NarendraModi are welcome in the YIP,sources said adding the grouphas already started enrollingabout 4 thousand youth per day.This rate of enrolment isexpected to rise further until itreaches 10,000 per day sourcessaid adding by the end ofSeptember the number of peo-ple thus recruited would go upto five lakh.

These people will then betrained for a period of 15months or so before they arepushed into the market for

election works, sources said.The team will also analyse ifany particular caste, tribal,Hindi-speaking or industrialbelts in the state had any rolein the vote-share swing.

While similar strategy ofenrolling foot-soldiers workedwell in the case of AndhraPradesh where Kishor workedfor Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSRCongress to trounceChandrababu Naidu, this maynot work in Bengal as here hehas to withstand the anti-incumbency wave against theMamata Banerjee Governmentthat was witnessed in the gen-eral elections.

“We could have won atleast 2-3 more seats likeArambagh and Ghatal had the

Election Commission man-aged to control violenceunleashed by the TMC goons,”said State BJP president DilipGhosh adding, “BJP has a con-nect with the masses andMamata Banerjee has lost thatconnect which is why she hasto purchase an election expert.But she will have to rememberthat Bengal has a politicallyconscious and matured elec-torate unlike in many parts ofIndia. Here professional elec-tioneering will not work.”

Even if the YIP “or what-ever they are called movesdoor-to-door will they be ableto erase the impression of afrightful decade a corruptdecade, a criminalised decadefrom their mind?” another

State BJP leader wondered.Already Kishor has met

Banerjee several times and hasbeen working in close coordi-nation with her nephew andMP Abhishek Banerjee.

Kishor’s endeavour inBengal is part of a multi-crorecontract with the TMC, insidesources said, adding the elec-tion guru — responsible forPrime Minister NarendraModi’s landslide victory in2014 — will also have to watchout for the source of the pay-ment that comes to him as con-tract fee from the TMC, agalaxy of whose leaders are facing a slew of charges fortheir alleged involvement inchit fund and other corruptactivities.

The credibility of graduatesand post graduates passing

out of Kerala University hascome under a shadow followingthe seizure of bundles of unusedanswer papers and the officialseal of the head of the depart-ment from the office of theCPI-M led Students Federationof India at Thiruvananthapuramand the residences of some ofthe SFI leaders.

The Confederation ofUniversity TeachersOrganisation in Kerala hasdemanded that an independentagency should probe the cir-cumstances that led toUniversity answer sheets andoffice seals of the authoritiesreaching the houses of studentleaders and party offices.

The Kerala Police probingthe last week’s stabbing incidentat the University College in theheart of Thiruvananthapuramwas shocked when they sawbundles of examination papers and the office seal stored in a room in the collegewhich was being used by theSFI as its office.

Empty bottle of importedscotch was one of the itemsseized from the office room ofthe SFI. A probe is on to findout whether the bottle wasdumped into the room byforces which are opposed to theSFI, said a police officer in theinvestigating team.

The University College isa fortress under the full controlof the SFI irrespective of theparty in power at the neigh-bouring Kerala Secretariat.

Once known for academ-ic excellence, the UniversityCollege has become a den ofanti-social activities.

“This college is used by theCPI-M to recruit youngsters tobe deployed in the institutionto annihilate students belong-ing to other unions and polit-ical parties,” said a teacher inthe college who did not wanthis name to be quoted.

It was a group rivalry

between the SFI activists whichled to the stabbing incidentresulting in Akhil, himself a SFIleader hot stab wounds.

The College was in the newsrecently when a second yeardegree student tried to commitsuicide in the college itselfbecause of harassment by the SFIleaders. She was saved in the nickof time and the college authori-ties acceded to her request for atransfer to another college.“During the last one year 150students have left the collegecomplaining of harassment andabuse by SFI leaders,” said thisgirl from her residence at aThiruvananthapuram suburb.

The investigators probingthe case seized bundles ofunused university answersheets from the residence ofShivaranjit, the prime accusedin the stabbing case. Shivaranjithas been selected to the KeralaPolice as civil police officer bythe Kerala Public ServiceCommission which is fullyunder the CPI-M control. Howhe got into the rank list of theKPSC is also being investigat-ed by the police. Shivaranjitand Nazeem the secondaccused have been arrestedand remanded to judicial cus-tody.

When former Defence MinisterNirmala Sitharaman — one offour in the Modi 1.0 government

— presented her maiden finance budget,hope and expectation about the defenceallocation had rocketed, especially after sheflagged national security and economicgoals as her government’s priorities. Thereality was different. The grandstanding ofnational security — rich on symbolism andrhetoric, hollow in providing resources forthe jawans to fight another Kargil whose20th anniversary is being commemoratedwith high drama — is delusion. Nothing haschanged, no lessons learnt especially afterArmy Chief Gen Ved Malik said, “We willfight with what we have” when surprisedby Pakistani incursions. Unfortunately AirChief Marshal B S Dhanoa expressed pre-cisely similar resolve after Balakot whenconfronted with a question about a two-front war by a journalist. In the catastroph-ic 1962 war, Lt Col M S Rikh, CommandingOfficer 2 Rajput at Namka Chu, said thesame: “We will fight with what we have”. Theinfection has spread among the higher mil-itary leadership, which has made a fetish offighting under-resourced even as govern-ments have milked the armed forces forelectoral gains. The Modi governmentthinks that its three quarters-baked OneRank One Pay (OROP) is a substitute formodernisation. Sitharaman’s defence allo-cation got the thumbs down when it madea token increase of six per cent over the lastbudget with hardly any change from theinterim budget in February. “Soldiers gota raw deal from Sitharaman,” said veterans.

In her several media interviews, thesolitary question on defence allocation wasstandard: “You were defence minister;why no increase in defence budget”. Herreply was also standard: “There is anincrease customs duty on imports…MoDis ok with the allocation.” At the India TodayTV’s budget conclave with India Inc, shewas asked how difficult it was for her inthe MoD. Smilingly she answered: “TheGenerals are easy to deal with” — a back-handed compliment with a message: “Youwill continue to fight with what you have”.Militaries fight with essentials.

When the suave and articulate ArunJaitley was Defence Minister, his views onthe Defence Budget were revealing. In hissecond budget presentation, when asked onDoordarshan why there was only a nomi-nal hike in defence, he replied: “I can givethem more. But they can’t spend themoney”. In the next budget, to the samequestion by the same person on the samechannel, he said: “I don’t have the money”.Incidentally, Jaitley, not Sitharaman was thefirst Finance Minister to skip mentioningdefence allocation in the budget speech. Justbefore the last election he told an Aaj Taknational security conclave that defence bud-get would increase once the tax net expand-ed and GDP grew. This esoteric method-

ology of defence allocation wasconfirmed by DefenceSecretary Ajay Prasad onDoordarshan. When askedabout inadequacy of funds formodernisation, he replied:“Towards December, I usuallyexpect a call from the FinanceSecretary asking MoD toreturn ��eight-10,000 crore.”

The plea to increase thedefence budget this year wasmade in Parliament byCongress members — soldier-politician Amarinder Singh,Manish Tewari, Shashi Tharoorand Preneet Kaur. Tewari quot-ed from a parliamentary panelreport that defence expenditurehad fallen in 2017-18 to 1.6 percent of GDP and in 2019-20,the interim budget had declinedfurther to 1.52 per cent GDP,the lowest since 1962. DefenceCapital account has alsoreduced from 45.3 per cent in2009-10 to 31 per cent in 2019-20. Returning to Sitharaman’sbudget, she said as defencehad immediate requirement ofmodernisation and upgradationwhich is a national priority, “Iam exempting defence importsfrom customs duty (started in2016).” Besides, the revenuehead of salary accounts anddefence pension is not includ-ed in the defence budget, thecrux of funding as the ministercited, is in modernisation of thearmed forces. When the inter-im budget allotted a meagreincrease in capital account,

defence Minister Sitharamanpromised to take up the issuewith the Finance Ministry.

The capital outlay this fis-cal is �1,08,248 crore, which is30 per cent of the total govern-ment capital expenditure. TheIAF has received 38 per cent ofthe capital account amountingto �39,303 crore. It has a com-mitted liability of �47,400 crorefor Rafale fighter and S 400 ADsystem. It has paid up �40,000crore of the �59,000 crore toDassault. While the Navy’sshare is �23,156 crore, its com-mitted liabilities amount to�25,461 crore. The Army whichused to get the dominant share,around 51 per cent, hasslumped to 35 per cent to�29,461 crore. It has reported ashortfall of �12,000 crore -�6,300 crore in capital and�5,700 crore in revenue (nonsalary account). The cumulativecapital account shortfall is�25,000 crore without factoringany new projects.

The MoD has a way aboutexplaining deficiencies in fund-ing. It says it is bound by bud-getary ceilings laid down byFinance Ministry, adding thatthe reduced allocations werepassed on uniformly to all thethree services. Here’s the rub.Who is prioritising capital allo-cations in the absence of theCDS? Is it the DefenceSecretary? Or the new czar ofthe Defence PlanningCommittee, NSA A K Doval?

This brings us back to thebasics: the lacunae in thedefence planning process.

“Unless the DefenceMinister has issued her opera-tional directive to the armedforces this month (one has notbeen given to them for morethan a decade; in any case, theservices/Integrated DefenceStaff scripts it), the single ser-vices work independentlyalong their own strategic per-spective to evolve roles and mis-sions without any prior strate-gic and technological environ-ment assessment,” said theStrategic Defence and SecurityReview. Is India going to fighta two or two and a half frontwar? Only former Army Chief,Gen Deepak Kapoor knows ashe evolved this scenario in2009. The force levels to matchthe threats and challenges willemerge from the SDSR, notKapoor’s strategic thinking .

Prime Minister Modi haswaxed eloquent on Uri, Balakotand the soldier, but never saida word on his defence budgets.Next week, Kargil will be show-cased with great symbolism.Sitharaman’s pithy remark thatGenerals are easy to deal with,will haunt Service Chiefs whowill fight with what they have.

���������� ��Sir — Apropos to your report“Lok Sabha passes bill to give NIAmore teeth” (TP 16 July). Thoughon the face of it, giving more teethseems to be good but it should notbe allowed to target people froma particular community in thename of fighting terror. Whileparticipating to push the amend-ments, the Home Minister shouldhave shown some maturity whilehandling those people who havesome reservations. As a personholding high office once occupiedby stalwarts like Sardar Patel, LalBahadur Shastri, Gulzari LalNanda, L K Advani, his gestureand body language should notmirror election rallies. He couldhave worked towards passing theBill unitedly instead of forcingdivision and making claims ofanti and pro terrorism whichmake such an important amend-ment a political one. Also, byenlarging its power to more areas,it should not be allowed tobecome another version of CBIwhose reputation has declinedrapidly. However, merely empow-ering NIA or any other agenciescannot prevent terror acts whichneed measures to prevent actssimilar to the one that happened

in Pulwama, a plank later used inthe election battle.

�������������������Sir —It refers to “Fair game?”Not only New Zealand fans butcricket fans and former crick-eters all over the world are

questioning ICC over the waythe World Cup winner wasdecided. Both England and NewZealand teams showed tenacityand perseverance but cruel lucksnatched the coveted trophyfrom the hands of KenWilliamson. Indeed, it is not fairto decide a final winner on thebasis of the number of bound-

aries scored. Agreed that ruleswere set and disclosed wellahead of the tournament butthen this is not the way it shouldhave ended. Why couldn’t theyhave one more super over ordecide on the number of wick-ets taken as was the practicebefore. Needless to mention theoverthrow by which England

scored six instead of five runs asper ICC law no. 19.8. gave theteam a huge edge. Luck desert-ed the Kiwis. Hopefully ICC willlook seriously into this besidesthe umpiring standards whichwere not great throughout thetournament. ICC needs to cre-ate a bigger and better pool ofumpires for any of its futureevent.

�������������������Sir — There has been an alarm-ing rise in air pollution levels. Inthe past, it was rare to spot a per-son wearing a mask on thestreets but now it has becomea common sight due to thehealth risks involved. If it esca-lates at this pace, the future ofour nation will be bleak. Asresponsible citizens, we mustideally adopt alternative mea-sures such as shifting to ElectricVehicles. Small steps like thiswill help us ensure a bettertomorrow.

Arecent Home Ministry report has publi-cised a fact that was known to many butdid not get due visibility in the media and

hence remained confined to a few. It revealed howhardline separatist leaders received funds fromabroad and utilised them for personal gains —from amassing properties to paying for foreigneducation of their kin. This has not only domi-nated the media but also raised a public outcrythat the misdeeds of these leaders should reachevery household in Kashmir, the people theyclaim to represent.

Ever since Amit Shah has occupied the all-important chair of the Union Home Minister, theMinistry has got a new fillip because of his per-ceived image as a doer. During his recent maid-en visit to Kashmir, he minced no words in reit-erating the zero tolerance policy of his govern-ment towards terror and terrorists, enunciatingthe need to crack down on terror funding firstand ensure that the law of the land prevails.

Tightening its noose around those who wereinvolved in terror funding, terror financing,money laundering and hawala operations, theNational Investigation Agency (NIA), for the firsttime, under the directions of the previous Modigovernment, had arrested many separatist lead-ers, businessmen, hawala operators and close rel-atives of the Hurriyat leadership and put themthrough sustained interrogation to track thesources and origin of terror funding in Kashmir.NIA was successful in not only tracking the trailof terror funding but also revealed the benefi-ciaries and how terror was being sustained in theValley apart from allowing the so-called leadersin Kashmir lead a luxurious life. The regional par-ties, who were heading the governments inKashmir, turned a blind eye to this notoriousmalpractice because of their vested interest incontinuation of terrorism in the state. How elsecan they explain cases of money laundering andhawala operations which were lingering on fordecades together despite the registration of thecases?

This, in fact, has been the misfortune ofKashmir because the regional mainstream par-ties owe their political survival to separatist andextremist forces operating in the Valley. Duringtheir interrogation, the separatist leaders con-fessed that Pakistan was the main source of ter-ror funding with the specific purpose of fuellingseparatist sentiments among the people ofKashmir. Cross-LoC trade was one of the majorsources of hawala operations and terror financ-ing. During interrogation, Asiya Andrabi of theDuktaran-e-Milat admitted that she had beenreceiving funds and donations from Pakistan andother foreign sources for organising protests byMuslim girls and women in the valley. She hasused part of this money to finance the educationof her son in Malaysia while a major portion ofexpenses is borne by Zahoor Watali, a business-man arrested for terror funding. Watali is one ofthe main hawala conduits who received fundsfrom Pakistan, ISI, UAE and had floated variousshell companies to disguise foreign remittancesfor further transfer to separatist leaders andstone-pelters in the valley. Masrat Alam, the mas-ter-mind of stone-pelters, has confessed thatfunds were being distributed among variousHurriyat leaders including Syed Ali Shah Geelani.

Shabbir Shah, another separatist leader,confessed that his hotel in Pahalgamand other businesses are financedthrough funds received from Pakistan.Yasin Malik, who brought together thevarious factions of Hurriyat under thebanner of Joint Resistance Leadership(JRL), which became notorious for issu-ing “bandh rosters” in Kashmir, affect-ing the lives of common Kashmiris,confessed before the agencies thatfunds were received from big businesshouses in Kashmir and other “sources.”These sustained the bandh calls, dis-rupting economic activities in Kashmir,which also indirectly affected the trad-ing community of Jammu.

These funds were used to fuelunrest in the Kashmir valley andorganise violent agitations and anti-India activities, which resulted inlarge scale violence, leading to numer-ous injuries and deaths of innocentcivilians and security forces person-nel. The funds were also used to paystone pelters, Friday protesters, thosetasked to torch schools and govern-ment buildings, particularly panchay-at ghars and the over ground workers.Pakistan has also entrusted Hurriyatthe responsibility of financing “home-grown” terror groups from the fundsreceived by them. Thus, apart frompromoting and sustaining terror inKashmir, these leaders were alsoinvolved in the killings of Kashmiris,closure of educational institutionsand encouraging local youth to jointhe terror ranks. Among all this theyalso indulged in a luxurious life oftheir own and financing foreign edu-cation of their wards. According to thelist released by the MHA, 210 relativesof Kashmiri separatist leaders current-ly live abroad. The documents alsomention that 112 children of theseparatists study in foreign countries,

out of which 21 belong to 14 well-known separatists.

The MHA document also revealsas to how they spread hate and vio-lence in Kashmir to further thePakistani agenda of keeping the potboiling and in perpetual turmoil.While they deny Kashmiris the rightto live peacefully and decide theirfuture as per their own wishes, theythemselves lead a lavish lifestyle.While the separatists encourage theyouth of the Valley to pick up stonesand arms against security forces andjoin militancy, they seem to have noqualms in shielding their own familyfrom the strife in the region by settlingthem not only in the metros butabroad as well. The hands of theHurriyat leadership are soaked withthe blood of innocent Kashmiris, whohave the right to know about their mis-deeds. This is the story of the greatbetrayal in Kashmir by their own andthey need to be exposed so that thefalse image they have built in the heartsof the poor Kashmiri folk is shattered.

Sensing defeat in its design ofannexing Kashmir through “religiousmilitancy,” radicalisation and jihaditerror, it has now resorted to destroy-ing the future generations of Kashmirby making them drug addicts. The fre-quency of seizure of drug consignmentsin the near past must have rung thealarm bells among the concernedauthorities by now. Incidentally, drugmenace is not confined to the Valley buthas also engulfed the border districts ofJammu and is slowly penetrating otherareas. It is more alarming in the Valleybecause the youth there is a vulnerabletarget due to the prevailing circum-stances. The environment is such thatthe youth can be easily lured and theexample of post-militancy Punjab isworth noting. Radicalisation and drug-

addiction are the two major chal-lenges staring in the face of the admin-istration.

There is a desperate need to launch“Back to Village 2.0” in the State. While“Back to Village 1.0” was a massive out-reach programme aimed at taking theadministration to the doorstep of thevillagers, its 2.0 version should aim atlaunching an effective informationcampaign and link it to a massive anti-drug and anti-radicalisation drive.

Apart from extensive coverage inthe vernacular press, the campaignshould also aim at educating the peo-ple and making them aware throughaudio-visual means. One is remindedof the good old days when the teams offield publicity division of theGovernment of India used to visit thevillages with 16 mm projectors andscreen documentary films. Now thetechnology has improved manifold.Rather than depending on in-houseresources, the government should con-sider taking the services of profession-als in the field. The films/songs shouldbe in the local dialects to widen theirreach. One should also revive local cul-ture and use “bhands” to promote localfolk art and messaging. Nukkad natak(street plays) can also be staged by pro-fessional groups to give voice to theyouth angst. If terror has to end andlasting peace ensured in Kashmir, theterror support network, both localand Pak-sponsored, will have to becompletely eliminated. Social awarenesswill ensure that such elements areexposed and are unable to mislead thesimple Kashmiris with anti-India pro-paganda and exploit the Kashmiriyouth.

The first session of the 17th LokSabha has begun well withoutmuch disturbance with even

first-timers getting an opportunity tomake their maiden speeches. Whilethe 16th Lok Sabha saw a divided andfractured Opposition, the currentone has so far seen only feeble voic-es with no effort to speak unitedly.This could be because the Oppositionis yet to recover from the blow it hasreceived in the elections.

While any democracy needs astable government, it also needs acredible and strong Opposition. Itsmain role is to question the govern-ment of the day and hold it account-able to the public. It is the Oppositionthat puts rein on the power of the gov-

ernment of the day and checks it. Itis indeed a well-established fact thatpolitical parties with massive majori-ties and weak opposition haveadversely impacted crucial issues.

However, when Rajiv Gandhicame to power after the assassinationof Indira Gandhi in 1984 with a brutemajority of 415 seats, the Oppositionwas weak in numbers but not silent.A half a dozen leaders from variousOpposition parties, including MadhuDandavate, Somnath Chatterjee,Inderjit Gupta, Unnikrishnan andJaipal Reddy, had effectively exposedthe Bofors gun deal scam, which real-ly cost Rajiv Gandhi his government.Prior to that, when Indira Gandhi lostthe elections in 1977, she had field-ed vocal leaders like C M Stephan.Unfortunately, the current Oppositiondoes not have many such leaders whocould hold forth in Parliament andoutside. This is indeed the real con-cern. In a blog post titled, The fright-ening and scary scenario of India’sOpposition, BJP leader Arun Jaitley,calling the Opposition camp “frac-tured,” pointed out that they have noagreement on either a leader or pro-

gramme and the common pointbetween them is just to “get rid of oneperson (Modi).” By failing to unite, theOpposition had gifted a whopping352 seats to the BJP in 2019.

The muted voice of theOpposition is also linked to the phe-nomenal growth of the BJP emergingas a pan-national party in the pastdecade or so. That is primarilybecause of the Congress’ inability tofunction as an effective opposition.The grand old party is still living inits past glory without realising that thevoter profile has changed and the

party has lost its connect with the newvoters. Rahul Gandhi, thoughyounger than Prime Minister Modi,is unable to attract his youthful peers.The Congress is yet to introspect whatwent wrong in the 2019 polls or makeefforts to reinvent itself. On the con-trary, Rahul Gandhi’s resignation hasplunged the party into a leadershipcrisis from which it is yet to come out.The Congress is yet to build up theparty at the grassroot level to matchthe BJP. Only boycotting Parliamentand hitting the streets are not enough.Congressmen need to connect with

the masses and educate them onissues that could set the agenda for thenext round of Lok Sabha elections.Above all, even after the defeat in thepolls, the Opposition remains divid-ed as is evident from the way theBahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leaderMayawati broke her alliance with theSamajwadi Party (SP) recently. TheCongress –JD (S) coalition is crum-bling in Karnataka. Also manyOpposition leaders are vulnerable,facing several court cases and are socaught up in their survival that theycan hardly prepare an alternative blue-print of governance to go the peoplewith.

The second reason for the currentstate of affairs is the gradual demiseof the Left parties. From ruling inthree States earlier, the Left partieshave been practically decimated in itsstrongholds of Kerala, West Bengaland Tripura. The comrades have longbeen split between a highly intellec-tual circle and a rural movement withthe result they are gradually losingtheir hold on both. They also havefailed to re-orient themselves to thecurrent day requirements of the vot-

ers without realising that chanting sec-ularism and class struggle no moreattract them.

As for the rest of the parties likethe SP, BSP, RJD, Trinamool Congress,NCP, DMK, JD (S), Shiv Sena, TRS,TDP and most Northeastern region-al parties, they are led by regionalsatraps, who believe in family rule andhave no worldview. The lack of oppo-sition is indeed a great tragedy inIndia today and a worrisome factorin a democracy. The Congress had itgoing for six decades dealing with aweak Opposition. A complete deci-mation of Opposition parties is notgood for the country. Constructivecriticism and not blind agitation is therole of an effective Opposition in aparliamentary democracy.

It is quite clear that politicalpower equations have shifted heavi-ly towards the BJP. Right now PrimeMinister Modi is enjoying a largerthan life image like Nehru once didor Indira Gandhi. Time has come nowfor the Opposition to rise.

Brazil has sought establish-ment of a dispute panel

under the aegis of the WorldTrade Organization (WTO) ina case against India's sugar sub-sidies to farmers.

In February, Brazil andseveral other countries includ-ing Australia and Guatemalahave dragged India into theWTO's dispute settlementmechanism alleging that NewDelhi's sugar subsidies to farm-ers are inconsistent with glob-al trade rules.

Brazil is the largest pro-ducer and exporter of sugar inthe world.

"Brazil respectfully requeststhat the dispute settlement bodyestablish a panel," according toa communication submitted bythe South American country tothe Geneva-based WTO.

Brazil has alleged that inrecent years, India has mas-sively increased the level ofdomestic support under itssupport regime for sugarcaneand sugar.

For example, India hasalmost doubled the fair andremunerative price for sugar-cane from Rs 1,391.2 per tonne

in 2010-11 to Rs 2,750 pertonne in 2018-19, it has stated.

That fair and remunerativeprice is the minimum pricethat, under Indian law, domes-tic sugar mills must pay sugar-cane producers. It constitutesone of India's most importantsupport measures for sugarcaneproducers.

In addition, Brazil saidsome of India's states providefor higher minimum pricesfor sugarcane that local sugarmills must pay local sugarcaneproducers.

Seeking consultation is thefirst step of dispute settlementprocess. If the two nations arenot able to reach a mutuallyagreed solution through con-sultation, complainant requestsfor a WTO dispute settlementpanel to review the matter.

They had filed disputeunder certain articles of WTO'sAgreement on Agriculture,Agreement on Subsidies andCountervailing Measures andthe General Agreement onTariffs and Trade 1994.

If the panel rules againstIndia's sugar subsidies, Indiacan approach the appellatebody of the WTO's dispute set-tlement mechanism.

The airline's meager assetsinclude 14 aircraft including 10Boeing planes--down from 124before the grounding--and 49percent stake in Jet Privilegeand a few buildings, while itsliabilities are over Rs 36,000crore, including more than Rs10,000 crore of vendor dues, Rs8,500 crore along with interestto the lenders, over Rs 3,000crore in salary dues and morethan Rs 13,500 crore in accu-mulated losses of the past threeyears.

Chief Economic Advisor K V Subramanian Tuesday said thereis a need to tap foreign capital to accelerate growth from the

current level of 7 per cent to 8 per cent."Apart from sovereign bond issue, we also need to be tap-

ping into foreign capital to trigger the virtuous cycle. Once thisvirtuous cycle is triggered then other parts start moving," he saidat the book launch of HDFC Bank 2.0-From Dawn to Digital.

Achieving USD 5-trillion economy by 2024-25 is possiblealthough the goal is slightly stretched, he said.

"When we get investment that enhances productivity,exports, jobs which leads to demand and thereby again createsinvestment triggering that is actually important. Of course, weare growing to close to 7 per cent. In order to grow at 8 per cent,we do need to trigger this and, therefore, foreign capital is some-thing that has to be encouraged," he said.

Indian economy reached to the level of USD 1 trillion in 55years and added USD 1 million in the past 5 years to USD 2.75trillion by March 2019, he said.

On the merger in the public sector banks, Subramanian saidthey are being done based on synergies, and policy is to exploiteconomies of scale.

"Rather than any top-down strategy or mandate which sayswe need to have four banks, this should be based on looking atbanks that might combine well because of synergies," he said.

Alivid Democratic Party hasintroduced a resolution in

the US House ofRepresentatives, condemningthe “racist” tweets of PresidentDonald Trump against fournon-white women lawmakersfrom the Opposition party.

Trump sparked a furore onSunday when he said thewomen lawmakers “originallycame from countries whosegovernments are a completeand total catastrophe” and theyshould go home.

Though Trump did notexplicitly name DemocratCongresswomen AlexandriaOcasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar,Rashida Tlaib and AyannaPressley in his initial Twittertirade on Sunday, the contextmade a clear link to the fourDemocrat women, who areknown as The Squad.

Three of the women wereborn in the US and one, Omar,was born in Somalia but cameto the US as a child.

The Democratic Partyintroduced a resolution in the

House of Representatives con-demning the alleged racisttweets. The resolution byCongressman Tom Malinowskicould be voted on as early asTuesday.

House Speaker NancyPelosi on Monday said thatRepublican lawmakers “mustjoin” Democrats in “condemn-ing the President’s xenophobictweets” and urged Democratsto support a resolution put for-ward by House Democraticlawmakers.

“The House cannot allowthe President’s characterisa-tion of immigrants to ourcountry to stand. OurRepublican colleagues mustjoin us in condemning thePresident’s xenophobic tweets,”Pelosi wrote in a DearColleague letter to HouseDemocrats.

But Trump, a Republican,was in no mood to relent.

“The Dems were trying todistance themselves from thefour “progressives,” but nowthey are forced to embracethem. That means they areendorsing Socialism, hate of

Israel and the USA! Not goodfor the Democrats” Trump saidas he unleashed a series oftweets against four DemocraticCongresswomen.

The four women lawmak-ers held a news conference atthe Capitol on Monday todenounce a tweet by the pres-ident in which he apparentlysuggested that they leave thecountry.

“This is a president whohas overseen the most corruptadministration in our history,”Omar said.

“To distract from that, he’slaunching a blatantly racistattack on four duly electedmembers of the United StatesHouse of Representatives, all ofwhom are women of colour,”she said.

“This is the agenda ofwhite nationalists, whether it ishappening in chat rooms or it’shappening on national TV.And now it’s reached the WhiteHouse garden,” she said.

“This is simply a disruptionand a distraction from the cal-lous chaos and corrupt cultureof this administration, all the

way down,” Pressley said.Both Omar and Tlaib

repeated their calls for Trumpto be impeached.

Trump had in a tweet,which was widely considered asagainst the four Democraticprogressive lawmakers, saidthey should “go back and helpfix the totally broken and crimeinfested places from whichthey came” before speakingout about how the UnitedStates government should berun. PTI

Wellington: New ZealandPrime Minister Jacinda Ardernon Tuesday said she “com-pletely and utterly” disagreedwith US President DonaldTrump’s racist tweets againstfour non-white DemocraticCongresswomen.

In an interview with statebroadcaster Radio NewZealand, Ardern said she wasproud that in her country,Parliament was meant to rep-resent “a range of different cul-

tures and ethnicities”, addingthat “never should a judg-ment be made about the ori-gin of anyone, and their righttherefore to be in parliamentas a representative”, Efe newsreported.

“We should celebrate ourdiversity, we do in NewZealand, I’m proud of that andso I obviously take a very dif-ferent view to PresidentTrump,” the Prime Ministeradded.

Ardern joined a flurry ofcriticism within the US and bysome international leadersdirected Donald Trump, whohad tweeted on Sunday thatthe four Congresswomen --Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib,Ayanna Pressley -- should “goback” to the countries theycame from and falsely imply-ing that they were not natur-al-born American citizens.

London: The two candidatesvying to become Britain’s nextPrime Minister both con-demned on Monday USPresident Donald Trump’sxenophobic tweets about pro-gressive Democrat congress-women as “totally offensive”and “totally unacceptable”.

But front-runner BorisJohnson and Foreign SecretaryJeremy Hunt refused to callthe tweets racist when pressedto do so during their lastdebate before next week’sannouncement of who willsucceed Prime Minister

Theresa May.May’s spokesman had ear-

lier said that the outgoingleader’s view was that Trump’scomments were “completelyunacceptable”.

On Monday, Trump dou-bled down on a series of histweets from the day beforeurging the four congress-women of colour to “go back”to the countries they camefrom.

“If you’re not happy here,you can leave,” Trump toldreporters at the White House.

Johnson said the original

tweets expressed sentiments“that went out decades anddecades ago”.

“I think the relationsbetween the UK and US areincredibly important,” saidJohnson.

“But if you are the leaderof a great multiracial, multi-cultural society, you simplycannot use that kind of lan-guage about sending peopleback where they came from,”Johnson said.

“It’s totally unacceptableand I agree with the PrimeMinister.”

Trump has developedgood relations with Johnsonand backs both his leadershipbid and determination to takeBritain out of EU.

Pressed by the moderatorto call Trump’s tweets racist,Johnson said: “I’ve said whatI said.”

Hunt recalled that he hadthree half-ethnically Chinesechildren who are British citizens.

“If anyone said to them, goback to China, I would beutterly appalled,” Hunt said.

Dubai: China has called the Iran nuclear deal “irreplaceable” andthe sole way to resolve the concerns over Tehran’s nuclear pro-gramme.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said on Tuesdaythat “the complete and effective implementation of the agree-ment is the only viable and effective way to settle the Iraniannuclear issue and ease tensions.”

He said that Iran’s commitment to the agreement should bedealt with by the joint commission that oversees it.

He is a Han and she aTibetan and, in the best

tradition of true love over-coming the biggest odds andthe deepest hostilities, theyrewrote the rules to becomerole models for ethnic unity ina restive land and also be offi-cially recognised as “achievers”.

Long Shi Zhong and BaSang Que Ba fell in love likemany do but theirs was aromance with the hurdles builtin. Fearing hostilities betweenthe Han and Tibetan ethniccommunities they belongedto, the couple had to wait forseveral years to get married,officials said.

In 2015, they finally did.And now Long and Ba, both intheir early 50s, are symbols ofethnic unity in this prefecture-level city of the TibetAutonomous Region (TAR) ofChina.

Their marriage has encour-aged hundreds of young peo-ple to go for inter-communitymarriages, prompting the localgovernment to confer the cou-ple with the “national rolemodel” award for ethnic unity.

A photo of Long and Bafinds place among achievers ofShigatse at a major communi-ty centre, which acts as a plat-form for governance at grass-roots level.

“Our central government ispursuing a conscious policy ofinter-community marriages topromote unity among variousethnic groups in Tibet andelsewhere,” Ci Dan Yangji, alocal government official, tolda small group Indian journal-ists during a rare visit to Tibetat the invitation of China.

Another official added thatLong and Ba set an example formany people in the society.

“Both of them waited forseveral years to get married.

They were apprehensive of thebacklash between the two com-munities. However, there hasbeen a surge in marriagesbetween people from the com-munities after Long and Ba setan example,” he said on thecondition of anonymity.

Ci Dan said around 500families were registered withthe community centre inShigatse, which comprised 40“mixed marriage” couples.

Relations between theTibetan people and Chineseauthorities came under severestrain after the Chinese armyentered various parts of theplateau in 1950.

Tibet’s spiritual leader, the14th Dalai Lama, fled Tibet fol-lowing a Chinese crackdownon a popular uprising in 1959.India granted him politicalasylum and the Tibetan gov-ernment-in exile has sincebeen based on Dharamsala inHimachal Pradesh.

Paris: HIV-related deaths lastyear fell to around 770,000 —some 33 per cent lower than in2010 — the United Nations saidTuesday, but warned that glob-al efforts to eradicate the diseasewere stalling as funding dries up.

An estimated 37.9 millionpeople now live with HIV -- anda record 23.3 million of thosehave access to some antiretrovi-

ral therapy (ART), UNAIDSsaid in its annual report.

Highlighting the enor-mous progress made since theheight of the AIDS epidemicin the mid-1990s, the reportshowed that the number peo-ple dying from the disease fellfrom 800,000 in 2017 to770,000 last year.

The figure was down by

more than a third from 2010,when there were 1.2 millionAIDS-related deaths.

But it also exposed weak-nesses in the world’s fight againstAIDS. While AIDS-relateddeaths in Africa, the continentmost affected by the epidemic,have plummeted this decade,Eastern Europe has seen thedeath toll rise 5 per cent. AFP

Seoul: North Korea on Tuesdaysaid looming US-South Koreamilitary drills could impactthe proposed resumption ofnuclear talks betweenPyongyang and Washington,and hinted that it could recon-sider its moratorium on nucleartesting.

It was the first statementfrom Pyongyang on the talkssince US President DonaldTrump and North Koreanleader Kim Jong Un agreed totheir resumption at animpromptu meeting in theDemilitarized Zone in June, fol-lowing months of deadlockbetween the two sides.

The joint drills have been

held for years but were scaleddown to facilitate dialogue withthe North after Trump’s historicfirst summit with Kim inSingapore last year.

“If the military exercisereally goes ahead, it wouldaffect the DPRK-US working-level talks,” an unnamed foreignministry spokesperson said incomments carried by state newsagency KCNA, using the officialacronym for North Korea.

The official described nextmonth’s drills as “clearly abreach” of a joint statementsigned by the leaders inSingapore and hinted thatPyongyang may resumeweapons tests in response. AFP

Karachi: Pakistani journalistsare holding nationwide proteststo denounce rampant censor-ship by the country’s powerfulsecurity services, massive lay-offs due to budget cuts andmonths-long delays in pay-ments of their wages.

Afzal Butt, president of theunion, says the rallies are onlythe “beginning of a protestmovement.”

Journalists and press free-dom advocates say the coun-try’s military is pressuringmedia outlets to quash criticalcoverage while the newly elect-ed government is slashing itsadvertising budget, squeezinga key source of revenue for pri-vate newspapers and TV sta-tions. AP

Indigenously designed and built bystudents of the SRM Institute of

Science and Technology in collabora-tion with the Indian Space ResearchOrganisation (ISRO), the nano-satel-lite SRMSAT-1 has completed 40,000orbits since it was launched on October12, 2011 from Sriharikota.

Speaking about the significantmilestone, Dr S R S Prabaharan, JointDirector (Research) at SRMIST, saidthat the satellite has outlived its origi-nal life span of two years and contin-ues to send data to the ground controlcentre in the campus at Kattankulathurin Kancheepuram district. Indeed, thesatellite will complete nine years inspace on October 11th this year.

An ambitious project conceived bySRMIST President Dr PSatyanarayanan, the satellite is taskedto monitor and estimate carbon diox-

ide and water vapor in tropical atmos-phere globally. “We are proud of ourstudents who built and launched thesatellite with the help of ISRO,” ProfPrabaharan said complimenting allbranches of engineering students andfaculty mentors at SRMIST who cametogether to create the satellite. ISROprovided solar cells and batteries for thesatellite apart from making available itsfacility at the Satish Dhawan SpaceCentre at Sriharikota for the launch.

On upcoming initiatives of theSRM students who have formed a TeamSRMSAT, he said one of the projectsbeing proposed to ISRO was on howto neutralise and/or prevent spacedebris.

Industry practices have been nur-tured over the period of years by

pseudo Agilest and the so-called spon-sors of the transformation game fromtraditional project management toagile way of doing the job. Have weachieved success? Do expending mil-lions of dollars justify? How do organ-isations measure Return on Investment(ROI) in their balance sheets? Nobodyhas a clue; the consulting organisationsare making merry and laughing all theway to the bank.

One of the failure points could bethe Scrum Master. Especially on howwe appoint the Scrum Master, whoselects them and what characteristicsand traits should one look for whenselecting a Scrum Master?

Let’s explore how it is done todayin our industry as compared to howshould this happen?

Most of the times (9 out of 10), itwould be the management who wouldappoint a person, whom they feel qual-ified for the job. However, the irony isthat the Management would have lit-tle or no idea what that role entails.Experience has suggested that we findthe job for the person rather than findthe right person for the job.

At times, the selection process ofappointing the Scrum Master hasbeen dictated by the person who is onthe bench and we are trying to find aproject to make the person billable or

the other approach as seen is to nom-inate a person close to the manage-ment.

In fact, according to Scrum co-founder Dr Jeff Sutherland, greatScrum Masters can come from virtu-ally any background or discipline (i.e.,engineering, design, testing, productmanagement, journalism, academia,social work), and their role is relative-ly simple:

�Remove impediments�Guide the team in Scrum prac-

tices�Protect against outside interfer-

enceAll that a Scrum Master can do is

to inspire you through effective coach-ing, enablement and guidance, but theimplementation of the same is in yourhands.

Who should be or become theScrum Master for your new team? Isit your current project manager, TechLead, or the functional manager? Iwould have to argue against the cur-rent industry practices and say, anyonebut one of these above-mentionedroles. Although, understandably, themanagement usually wants a standardanswer for who they should select tobe the Scrum Master in this new workapproach called Agile it is not a one-size-fits-all answer. And the reason isbecause it depends on the person, theteam and the environment. There are

multiple factors that would impact theselection of the person for the role. Itcannot be a cookie cutter approach,which is much standardised, even inthe same organisation across twoteams, the selections could vary (andthey should vary, if the circumstancesvary).

Now, the question is who decidesthe Scrum Master? We often see thatit is the management who decides, butthey make the decision without know-ing what Scrum is and more impor-tantly, how it works.

We commonly see ProjectManagers being given the role ofScrum Master. What makes a greatProject Manager may not make a greatScrum Master. Often, the managementwants Project Managers who can get

things done. They drive performanceand push the team. They may evenmicro-manage for results and visibil-ity by tracking every task, status, risk,change and deviation from the plan.Management loves this (or, moretruthfully, love the results). On theother hand, I’ve also seen ProjectManagers who provide managementwhat they want (helping get more pro-ductivity and more visibility toprogress, issues and options) by serv-ing, empowering and trusting theteam.

To simplify the decision making,one should look for these ideas whenselecting a of Scrum Master:

�A person who understands andcan practice servant leadership andfacilitation

�Always in pursuit of continuousimprovement

�Can create a degree of influencewith team members and other stake-holders

You need a person who is humble,ego-less, collaborative in nature, knowl-edgeable on Scrum. Getting all of thetraits in a single person could be a nearto impossible task, in case we do seethat happening, find from above items,which are your critical success factorsfor the Scrum Master role in yourorganisation.

�Why did you come up with theSimulation lab?

The reason behind introduc-ing the first if its kind simulationlab was to provide our studentswith in-depth knowledge of thefield. The students will be able togain practical knowledge by train-ing through MRI and CT scan.The lab also has ICU beds anddialysis technology machineswhich will provide the studentswith much needed exposure. It isoften seen that students are madeto learn everything theoriticallywhich is not of much help. Whenthe students step in to the indus-try they are left to manage thingson their own. In such an industry,where there is no room for errors,students need hands-on learningpractices which will help them inthe long run. Here, with the helpof this lab, the students can makemistakes and learn from it so theyare future ready.�How is the collaboration withYuva Healthcare?

Yuva Healthcare has beeninto these simulator labs fromquite some time. We have part-nered with them because theybring in technology and equip-ments from abroad. We believe inindustry integration and thereforewe decided to do this collabora-tion which will be of immense

benefit for our students.�What changes would you liketo see in the medical field?

I would want that we shouldbe open to exploring more andaccepting the newer technology.This would not only help doctorto cue more patients but also thestudents to be able to know thisworld inside out. It is an erawhere we have to adapt to thenewest technology and apply it inthe daily basis that is what makespeople stand out in the crowd.�What role does technical

advancement play?Technical advancement means

new, better and simple ways tocure patients and make studentslearn in the best way possible.Technology is evolving and eventhe doctors are learning newthings every day. Learning processfor both professionals and aspir-ers is continuous. With technol-ogy, medical education is alsoadvancing.�What advice would you like togive out to aspiring medical stu-dents?

Hunger to learn and exploreis always the first step. Secondcomes the feeling to serve people.Those who are looking to make acareer in the field should be ableto take responsibility. Studentsshould remain calm and focuses.A lot of patience is the key.Medical students should be active,quick and should be able to reactto different situations at the snapof a finger. They should be ener-getic and enthusiastic and shouldhave a keen interest in learningthings. They have to run at a fastpace and be prepared to followstrict working hours because fordoctors there is nothing moreimportant than a patient’s life.Those who have these qualities inthem are ready to go out and makea career in the field.

It is our choices that show, what we truly are,far more than our abilities

— JK Rowling

The above aphorism stands true in mostof the circumstances we encounter inour lives. Similar is the case with female

presence and growth in corporates. There isa tightrope walk between work and life forthem and being able to manage their personaland professional aspirations is a big timeachievement. And in today’s world, “Be your-self” isn’t sufficient. We need to acquire knowl-edge daily, familiarise ourselves with it andbecome proficient in no time.

According to McKinsey study on womenin workplace, women are less likely to be hiredinto entry-level jobs than men and as we climbup the corporate ladder, the disparity increas-es. The ratio stands to be 79:100 when it comesto promotion to management level.

If we pick a red ball from the jar containing79 red and 100 green balls, probability of redball being picked up would definitely be less.Second, Pyramid narrows as we becomesenior and competition becomes fierce.Therefore, it becomes more important forfemale workforce to perform and acquire someextra ordinary skills which stands them apartand if not apart, equivalent to men at that level.

Sync between skills in demand andskills women possess: Problem solving, timemanagement, communication skills, teamworkability, good work ethics are the skills whichare considered at first place to promote a per-son to managerial level. Employers expecthybrid skills from employees which are com-bination of technical and soft skills. Hence, itis very much necessary for women to brushup the technological skills. Also, social mediaskills, knowledge related to ContentManagement Systems, and specific data entrytools are considered an added advantage andwill distinguish you from others.

Networking: The second critical asset forprogress is networking. Build a strong pro-fessional network since organisations are allabout people. Enroll in seminars and work-shops. They would give you better visibilityin the professional world and help with bet-ter networking opportunities. Nurturing rela-tionships is mutually beneficial.

Women can broaden their access toopportunities by raising their professional pro-files. Being in the network of stakeholders, whowould be in right roles to make decision orinfluence decision, helps a lot. They can guidethrough all the career transitions and some-

times on personal front as well.Adaptability: Mid-career drop-offs for

women are common and this can be justifiedas well. This is the time when relationships andlife related decisions are to be made. On theother hand, provision of right opportunitiesat the organisation level goes a long way inhelping women stay focused on their careergoals. Hence, it is all about a woman’s con-scious career management and balancing lifechoices and transitions.She should not let herdreams fade away.

Smart work-life balance also means focus-ing on health, fitness and being happy frominside. This would lead a woman to achievesmart multi-tasking goals and consequentlyincrease her productivity at workplace.

Able to raise the hand: Sometimesopportunities are not visible. They do not pre-sent themselves. Woman needs to boldenough to ask for them. And for it, she should:

�Explore strengths by understandingthe workplace

�Build credibility �Understand future work options�Develop herself financially strong�Be confidentRaising hand will also strengthen her emo-

tionally and remind her that she should neverforget her aspirations. They can face morechallenges than men. They can excel morethan men. They can climb the corporate lad-der faster than men. They just need to take careof certain skills.

Indian men’s team, led byskipper A Sharath Kamal, will

start as favourites when the 21stCommonwealth Table TennisChampionships begins at theJawaharlal Nehru IndoorStadium here on Wednesday.

India are clubbed withSingapore and Scotland in

group B, while England, thetop-ranked team here andplaced in group A, have SriLanka and Cyprus for compa-ny.

With the format allowingtwo teams from each group toqualify for the second stage,Sharath and Co are confident ofsweeping the Gold medals.

Sharath’s calculations are

based on the weakest England,Nigeria and Singapore teamsthat have come here.

“Indeed, we are in thetoughest group but sinceEngland, Nigeria and Singaporehave not fielded their best play-ers, Indian men should win theteam and open events,” said thewinner of 10 medals, includingthe 2004 singles and teamchampionship Gold medals.

Sharath said the way GSathiyan, ranked No 24 in theworld, has been playing, of

late, India would always fancytheir chance against even thetoughest. “He is in the form ofhis life. Besides, two seasonedcampaigners in Liam Pitchfordand Paul Drinkhall (England)and Aruna Quadri and SegunToriola (Nigeria) are not here.Singapore, too, have fielded ayoung side while other teamsare not that strong. It makes ourjob easier,” he said.

In comparison, the womenteam draw looks far easier thanone would have expected.

Again, on the basis of teamranking, Singapore is the top-seeded squad but India, at No2, form a part of group B withSouth Africa and Sri Lanka,while group A has Singapore,Wales and Scotland.

The other groups have less-er teams in terms of ranking.

The Indian women, on itsstrength, should be able tocross the first-stage hurdle with-out dropping a sweat.

However, they could facesome stiff competition fromSingapore as the hosts approachthe final. Manika Batra, on

whose shoulder the burden isplaced, may not be in the kindof form she had in 2018 CWGand Asian Games, but she iscapable of pulling it off in ateam event like this, particular-ly when the home crowd wouldbe rooting for her and TeamIndia.

In their first group match,Indian women take onScotland, followed bySingapore.

The championships openwith group matches in womensection for the team champi-onships.

Defender Matthijs de Ligt hasagreed to join Juventus, Dutch

and Italian media reported onMonday, but it was not clearwhether the Turin club had yetagreed a fee with Ajax.

Reports said that the 19-year-old Dutch international, who cap-

tained Ajax to the semifinals of theChampions League, had agreedpersonal terms with Juventus andwould arrive in Turin on Tuesdayand undergo a medical onWednesday.

Media in Italy said Juventuswould pay Ajax of Amsterdam 75million euros ($85 million).

De Ligt has been linked with

many of Europe's leading clubsafter his impressive play for resur-gent Ajax and Netherland teams lastseason.

He has played 117 games for Ajaxin all competitions, scoring 13 goals,including three as the club reachedthe last four of the ChampionsLeague last season, only to lose in thefinal seconds to Tottenham. De Ligt

scored the winner in Turin as Ajaxeliminated Juventus in the quarter-finals.

He has played 17 times for theNetherlands.

Earlier on Monday, Juventusunveiled Aaron Ramsey, the Welshmidfielder who had agreed inFebruary to join as a free agent oncehis contract with Arsenal expired.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said onTuesday he is optimistic that

goalkeeper David De Gea wouldsign a new deal to remain at OldTrafford as Manchester Unitedprepared to face old rivals Leedsin Perth.

United’s pre-season tour ofAustralia has been overshadowedspeculation over the futures of

several stars, including De Geawho is in the last year of his con-tract and has been linked withFrench champions Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spaniard is reportedlyclose to signing a new five-yeardeal with United worth in excessof £350,000 a week that wouldmake him the highest paid goal-keeper in the world.

De Gea was rested fromUnited’s pre-season openeragainst Perth Glory on Saturdaybut will line up against Leeds onWednesday to wrap up the RedDevils’ 10-day visit to the WesternAustralia city.

“He’ll play and hopefully wecan agree (on a new deal) withDavid, as I’ve said a few times,”Solskjaer told reporters.

“That’ll be up to David toannounce when that happens, ifand when.”

The United boss refused to bedrawn on whether Leicester Cityand England centreback HarryMaguire was on his way to OldTrafford.

“There’s been loads of spec-ulation but I can’t really say any-thing,” Solskjaer said.

“There’s a limit of players andwhoever performs will be part ofthe team and whoever doesn’tthey will have to fight to get backin.”

After an unconvincing 2-0victory over a depleted Perth,United will be hoping for a bet-ter performance against one-timebitter enemy Leeds.

The rivalry has simmeredsince Leeds’ relegation from theEnglish Premier League in 2004but hostilities between the pas-sionate fan bases are still evidentwith extra security measuresbeing put in place by organisersat Perth Stadium.

Solskjaer said United wereexcited to renew the rivalry. “Ofcourse you want to have gamesagainst the biggest clubs,” he said.“It’s a great occasion for both setsof supporters and the playersbecause there were great games(in the past).”

Romelu Lukaku, who isreportedly looking to secure amove to Inter Milan, is set to playhis first pre-season match againstLeeds after recovering from a“niggle”. However, Luke Shaw islikely to miss out after sufferinga hamstring injury in the matchagainst Perth.

United will have further pre-season games against Inter Milanin Singapore on July 20 andTottenham in Shanghai on July25, while Leeds will head toSydney to face Western SydneyWanderers.

India opener and numberone ODI batswoman Smriti

Mandhana is in no mood totake it easy after a memorableseason and is busy tweakingher all-round game in the leadup to the Women’s T20 WorldCup early next year.

The season that went bysaw the 22-year-old reach thetop of the ODI rankings.Mandhana is not just knownfor her stylish strokeplay any-more, she has added muchneeded power to her game tomeet the demands of themodern game.

After a fruitful fitnesscamp at the NCA inBengaluru, Mandhana saidshe remains a work inprogress.

“It was a good fitnesscamp. Finally after an year or

two, we got a month off. Itwas good for us to comeback and do a fitness camp. Itwas much needed because weare going to have a hecticeight months, so we have toget our body prepared for thegrind,” Mandhana said after

receiving the Arjuna Awardhere on Tuesday.

On her own batting, shesaid: “I and coach Raman sirhave been discussing quite abit about my game. How I canbecome more consistent inT20 cricket, how I can add

more power to my game. Istill feel I need to improve onthat front.

“You have to improvebecause other teams are alsokeeping an eye on you.Adding new shots is notsomething which I am look-ing for, I am looking to con-sistently hit the same lengthof balls in different places,”said Mandhana, who is con-fident of another stellar sea-son in the Kia Super League to

be held in the UK nextmonth.

While Mandhana wasIndia’s stand-out performer inODIs and T20s, the team’sperformance in the shortestformat has left a lot to bedesired as it lost six games ina row. The team did not haveenough f ire-power andthough the issues facing theside were discussed at lengthin the camp, Mandhana feelsthere is still a long way to go.

“Fitness was a majorpoint of discussion after theseason ended. Raman sir andwe collectively discussed thatfitness needs to be better to bea potent T20 side. That thingis being worked out and girlsare looking in better shape.”

With the likes ofMandhana, JemimahRodrigues and HarmanpreetKaur playing their part, the

team needs more aggressivebatters, especially in the mid-dle order.

“Our batting depth has toimprove and Raman sir hasbeen speaking to all the bat-ters on the aspect of powerhitting. Improved fitness willnot only help our power-hit-ting but will also help ourfielding.

“It is more mental thananything else. That is whatRaman sir has been stressingon. He has given the freedomto the batters to express them-selves in the middle ratherthan holding back,” sheadded.

India, who have notplayed international cricketsince March, host SouthAfrica in September. The T20World Cup will be held inAustralia from February 21 toMarch 8.

Sachin Tendulkar on Tuesdayendorsed a second super

over to decide the winnerinstead of considering theboundary count if such anextraordinary situation ariseslike it did in the World Cup final.

In a gut-wrenching final atLord’s on Sunday, England wereadjudged the World Cup win-ners on the basis of their supe-rior boundary count — 22 foursand two sixes to New Zealand’s16 — after both the regulationmatch and the ensuing SuperOver ended in a tie.

“I feel there should beanother super over to decide thewinner, instead of consideringthe number of boundariesscored by both teams. Not justin a World Cup final. Everygame is important. Like in foot-ball, when teams go into extratime, nothing else matters,”Tendulkar told 100mb.

Current and former crick-eters including Rohit Sharma,Gautam Gambhir and YuvrajSingh, have questioned ICC’s“ridiculous” rule on boundarycount that decided the World

Cup title.After table toppers India

were knocked out of the WorldCup after losing the semi-finalto New Zealand, skipper ViratKohli had suggested IPL-likeplayoffs instead of knockouts inthe World Cup going forward.

Asked if the World Cup for-mat needs to be changed in theknock out stages, Tendulkarsaid: “I think the two teams thatfinish at the top should definite-ly have something going forthem for having played consis-tently through the tournament.”

During India’s semifinal,former skipper Mahendra SinghDhoni was sent at numberseven with Hardik Pandya andDinesh Karthik being promot-ed in the batting order.

Asked what batting orderhe would have gone with for thechase, Tendulkar said: “Withouta doubt, I would’ve sent MSDhoni at his usual position, No5.“With the kind of situationthat India was in and the expe-rience that he has, the need ofthe hour was for him to buildthe innings. Hardik could’vebatted at 6 and Karthik would’vefollowed at 7.”

Chelsea legend Frank Lampardsaid Tuesday he won’t be

looking backwards as he takes onpossibly the biggest challenge ofhis career: managing his formerteam.

Speaking in Japan where theBlues are playing two friendlies,Lampard said he was “veryhappy” with his squad but expectsto work the team hard during thepre-season.

“For me the story is not tolook backwards,” said Lampard,whose return to his former clubas head coach was confirmed ear-lier this month.

“I know the club very well, Iknow the players very well. I havemy own way that I want to workwith the players,” he told reportersin Yokohama, where Chelsea willface Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale onJuly 19.

Lampard acknowledged tak-ing on leadership of the Blues willbe a major undertaking, withChelsea having lost their bestplayer of recent times, EdenHazard, to Real Madrid lastmonth, and serving a two-win-dow transfer ban that preventshim from making new signings.

But he said there was no rea-son to dwell on the ban.

“I think I inherited very goodplayers. We cannot bring in any

players we know that... But I’mvery happy with the squad.

“My job now is to work hardin pre-season with them. I like myteams to play with a lot of ener-gy and speed, with and withoutthe ball, so I want to win it backas quickly as we can,” he said.

Chelsea’s new $72 millionsigning, Christian Pulisic, is list-ed as one of the team membersvisiting Japan, but it was not yearclear when he will arrive.

Lampard declined to revealthe line-up for the two friendlieson Chelsea’s calender, whichinclude a much-anticipated face-off against Barcelona on July 23.

American internationalPulisic signed a five-and-a-halfyear contract with Chelsea inJanuary but was immediatelyloaned back to Germany to fin-ish the season at BorussiaDortmund.

Lampard won 13 trophies in13 years and became Chelsea’s all-time leading marksmen with 211goals from midfield during adecorated playing career atStamford Bridge.

But he has a lot to prove in hisnew role. The former Englandmidfielder has just one season ofmanagerial experience havingled Derby County to theChampionship play-off final inMay, when they were beaten byAston Villa.

Top Indian weightlifter MirabaiChanu on Tuesday said she lives in

fear of injuring herself ahead of nextyear's Tokyo Olympics despite recover-ing from an unspecified back problem,which marred her progress in 2018.

After the Gold-winning perfor-mance in the Gold CoastCommonwealth Games last year,Mirabai had complained of lower backpain.

The injury puzzled doctors acrossthe country, who were unable to diag-nose the cause, forcing the 24-year-oldto miss the Asian Games and theWorld Championships in the sameyear.

"A lot has changed after the injury.There is a always a fear as to what willhappen if I get injured again. I have tothink twice before every lift, every train-ing session," Mirabai said.

About nine months later, the backpain has subsided allowing Mirabai tomake a successful comeback to thearena. She notched up a Gold medal atthe EGAT Cup in Thailand in her first

outing after the setback.The injury has led Mirabai and

coach Vijay Sharma to tweak their train-ing regimen.

"My approach has changed becausewe don't know why the pain occurredin the first place. Was it because of someexercise or was it because of my tech-nique, we still don't know that," she said.

"She is taking things a bit slowly,"added Sharma, only slightly elaboratingon what has changed for the star.

Mirabai has enjoyed a good runsince her comeback. In the AsianChampionships in April, she missed outon a medal by a whisker.

The 24-year-old had lifted 199kg(86kg+113kg), her personal best, butlost out to China's Zhang Rong, owingto a lower clean and jerk result.

She then got back to winning waysby notching up the gold at the recent-ly concluded CommonwealthChampionships.

"My progress since the injury hasbeen good. I have won Gold EGAT andthen again in CommonwealthChampionships. I am satisfied with theperformance."

The diminutive Manipuri has nowset her sights on the WorldChampionship, scheduled to be held inSeptember. She has fond memories ofthe tournament, where she was crownedchampion in 2017.

With those memories, come theexpectations and with that a lot of pres-sure as the World Championship willalso double up as an Olympic qualify-ing event.

"Compared to 2017 the expectationsare much more because I am returningfor the first time and this is the mainevent for the Olympics. But I try not tothink about it. I just keep in mind whatthe coach tells me," she said.

In order to win at the WorldChampionship, Mirabai will have to upthe ante. She heaved 194kg on way toGold at the 2017 Worlds in Las Vegas.

However, the 2018 world champi-on in the 49kg category lifted a worldrecord weight of 209kgs. While theSilver and Bronze went to 208kg and206kg, respectively.

"I am targeting 202kg-plus in thisevent. Thailand, China Japan, Korea weare all together.

"Because Asia is the powerhouse thesame players will be in the Worlds aswell, and I almost won a medal in theAsian Championship so I'm confidentI'll do well. I have lifted 203kg in train-ing. My aim is 210 but it has to be doneslowly hopefully till Tokyo I will be ableto achieve it," she explained.

After the rejig of weight categories,Mirabai had to move from 48kg to 49kgalongside a lot of lifters participating inthe 53kg.

Asked if that's added pressure con-sidering the 53kg lifters have an advan-tage over her, Mirabai said: "I am notthinking about others. I have to focuson my performance."

"Yes, I am at a disadvantage becausethose who have moved from 53kg canlift one or two kilogram more than usbut I have to focus on my own perfor-mance," she said.

Ben Stokes has already startedturning his attention to theAshes just a day after starring

for England in their dramatic ICCWorld Cup final win against NewZealand.

The al l-rounder made anunbeaten 84 as the host nation tiedthe scores in regulation play atLord’s on Sunday and batted again ina Super Over shootout that alsoended all-square.

The hosts won what Stokesdescribed as the “best-ever” final onsuperior boundary count.

Monday saw a bleary-eyedStokes on the other side of London’sRiver Thames, where he was attend-ing a team celebration event at the

Oval, with Eoin Morgan’s side parad-ing the trophy in front of hundredsof young fans.

“I’ve woken up in better condi-tions, but it’s an incredible feeling,”Stokes, who was man of the matchsaid.

“We would have been devastat-ed if we hadn’t managed to lift thattrophy but looking back over thatgame I think it will go down in thehistory books as the best ever, withall the drama of a World Cup final.

“It’s an amazing thing to be partof.”

The World Cup could be the firsthalf of remarkable double withEngland, for the first time since theinaugural 1975 edition, staging aWorld Cup and Ashes in the sameseason.

First comes a one-off Test againstIreland at Lord’s next week beforeEngland begin their quest to regainthe urn against an Australia sideseeking a first away Ashes series winsince 2001 at Edgbaston on August1.

“We may be world championsbut also want to be Ashes winners aswell,” said the 28-year-old Stokes.

“Everyone here deserves to feellike a champion because we’ve justwon it but when it comes to theAshes it’s going to be heads onagain because it has to be.

“Whether you’re winning or los-ing games, you’ve just got to wipe theslate clean.”

Stokes also revealed how he hadcoped with the highs and lows ofnearly winning the World Cup final

in regulation play before going outto bat again for the Super Over.

“Needing two runs off one ball,all I was thinking was ‘just don’t hitit in the air and get caught’. It was just‘don't try to be a hero and do it witha six’,” he explained.

“I wish it had gone for twobecause I wasn’t best pleased withmyself walking off and back to thechanging rooms for that 10-minuteturnaround.

“I actually had to go and havefive minutes to myself in the show-er area of the changing room. I waspretty annoyed, angry. I had to getmy head switched back on becauseI knew there was a job out there todo.

“I was full of adrenaline so Ineeded to make sure my head was inthe right place.”

�..+�.�� �.�,��Basking in the glory of their

maiden World Cup triumph,England Test captain Joe Root feelsthe team are on the cusp of reachingthe cricket “pinnacle” if they alsomanage to win the Ashes.

“It’s what we set out to do two orthree years ago and we’re halfwaythere,” Root was quoted as saying bythe BBC on Monday.

“We couldn’t be in a better placereally, having achieved what we’veachieved here,” said Root. “This willgive the guys confidence and we’vetalked about taking that forward intoa series like that.

“The way we played againstAustralia in that semi-final atEdgbaston... the guys who wereinvolved relished it and will want abit more: the feeling of euphoria wefelt at that ground...

“To potentially be able to expe-rience all that again is very exciting.Ashes cricket always has a differentedge to it so that in itself will geteveryone going.”

“It’s always so special,” added the28-year old.

“The atmosphere, the way itbuilds up and the way the guys getexcited about it, it’s like no otherseries in Test cricket.

“It’s something I’m really look-ing forward to and it’ll be massive,especially on the back of this. It’llmake it even bigger.”

England’s World Cup heroBen Stokes is likely to be

bestowed with knighthoodfor his sensational perfor-mance in the summit clashagainst New Zealand whichhelped the hosts claim theirmaiden title in the ICC’s 50-over showpiece event.

Stokes smashed anunbeaten 84 off 98 balls tohelp England tie the finalmatch at the Lord's on Sunday.He then scored eight in theSuper Over which also endedin a tie.

Stokes’ World Cup heroicsimpressed Boris Johnson andJeremy Hunt, the two con-tenders to be the next primeminister of the UK.

“I will give dukedoms,whatever — I will go to themaximum, to, what, theGarter King of Arms,” saidJohnson, the frontrunner toreplace Theresa May asBritain’s PM, during a series ofrapid-fire ‘yes or no’ questionsat the end of leadership debatehosted by The Sun andtalkRADIO.

Asked if Stokes deservesknighthood, Johnson said,“Yes is the answer, absolutely.”

When Hunt was askedthe same question, he repliedsuccinctly: “Of course”.

Eleven English cricketershave been knighted for ser-vices to cricket till now withformer Test and ODI skipperAlastair Cook being the last tobe conferred with the honour.

The 28-year-old Stokeshad missed the 2017-18 Ashesdue to a pending investigationinto his role in a fight inBristol that had left a man inhospital with facial injuries.

Stokes went on to redeemhimself with a superlativeperformance at the WorldCup, amassing 465 runs andclaiming seven wickets forEngland.

His performance waslauded by England captainEoin Morgan, who describedhim as “extraordinary” and“superhuman”.

New Zealand coach GaryStead has called for the

Cricket World Cup’s rules to beoverhauled, labelling the show-piece final “hollow” afterEngland defeated the Black Capson a technicality.

The teams could not be sep-arated at the end of both regu-lar play and a Super Overshootout, so England werehanded victory because they hada superior boundary count.

“It’s a very, very hollow feel-ing that you can play 100 oversand score the same amount ofruns and still lose the game, butthat’s the technicalities of sport,”Stead told reporters in remarksreleased by New Zealand Cricketon Tuesday.

He said such a thrillingmatch, which has been hailed bymany experts as the greatestone-day game in history,deserved a better way to deter-mine the result.

“There’s going to be manythings they look at over thewhole tournament — I’m surewhen they were writing therules they never expected aWorld Cup final to happen likethat,” he said.

“I’m sure it’ll be reviewed(and) there’s many differentways that they’ll probablyexplore.”

Stead shrugged off sugges-tions England had been mistak-enly handed an extra run aftera throw from a fielder hit the batof a diving Ben Stokes’ anddeflected to the boundary in the

final over of regular play.England were awarded six

runs but former umpire SimonTaufel said they should only havegot five as the batsmen had notcrossed for their second runwhen the throw was made.

“I didn’t actually know that,”Stead said. “But at the end of theday the umpires are there to rule.

“They’re human as well,like players, and sometimesthere’s a mistake but that’s justthe human aspect of sport.”

Cricketers, current and for-mer, shared New Zealand’s painon losing the title on boundarycount with many of them ask-ing for a “serious look” into therule, slammed as “absurd”.

“At the end of the day noth-ing separated us, no one lost thefinal, but there was a crownedwinner and there it is,”Williamson told Newstalk ZB.

Widely praised for the gracewith which he and his sideaccepted the defeat, Williamsonsaid they had signed up to therules that governed the tourna-ment.

“I suppose you neverthought you would have to askthat question and I neverthought I would have toanswer it (smiling),” wasWilliamson’s first reactionwhen asked about the rule.

“While the emotions areraw, it is pretty hard to swallowwhen two teams have workedreally, really hard to get to thismoment in time.

“When sort of twoattempts to separate them witha winner and a loser it stilldoesn’t perhaps sort of shinewith one side coming through,you know,” Williamson, one ofthe finest gentleman playingthe sport, said.
