Union Railways minister Piyush Goyal and Health minister Harsh Vardhan were also present on the oc- casion. Earlier, Ms Badal had raised the need for starting a train service be- tween New Delhi and Sultanpur Lod- hi to facilitate pilgrims on the occa- sion of 550th celebrations of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji.

Thanking Prime Minister Naren- dra Modi and Railways minister Piyush Goyal for starting ‘Sarbat da Bhala’ train to spread the message of peace and communal harmony across the country, the Union minis- ter said this was a historic day as this train would connect the pilgrims of Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab with Sul- tanpur Lodhi. Terming Sultanpur Lodhi as the birthplace of Gurbani, she said it was here that Guru Sahab gave the mes- sage of ‘God is one’ and ‘no one is Hindu, no one is Muslim’ to human- ity. Speaking about the other initia- tives taken by the Railways ministry to mark the 550th Parkash Purb cele- brations of Guru Sahib, Ms Badal said apart from spending Rs 22 crore for upgradation of railway station at Sultanpur Lodhi and constructing a museum there, 14 special trains would be run between Hazur Sahib Nanded to Ferozepur.

The VB SSP told mediapersons that Himmat Kumar, resident of Makhdoompura, had com- plained to the Bureau that a sen- ior assistant working in the reha- bilitation wing of the Revenue department at the Deputy Com- missioner Administrative Com- plex had been demanding Rs 20,000 to enter the mutation of a plot measuring 10 marla, which was purchased jointly by his fa- ther Ashok Kumar and uncle Madam Lal in January, 1987. AGENCY MUMBAI, OCT 4 The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday cut repo rate for the fifth con- secutive time this calendar year to 5.15 per cent from the current 5.4 per cent in a bid to support government measures for boosting economic ac- tivity amid benign inflation. Consequently, the reverse repo rate under liquidity adjustment facili- ty stands reduced to 4.9 per cent, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the bank rate to 5.4 per cent. The six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) headed by Gover- nor Shaktikanta Das also decided to maintain the accommodative stance of monetary policy. "These decisions are in conso- nance with the objective of achieving the medium-term target for consumer price index (CPI) inflation of 4 per cent within a band of plus or minus 2 per cent while supporting growth," said Das after the three-day MPC meeting. Repo rate is the rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. A repo rate cut allows banks to reduce interest rates for consumers and lowers equal monthly instalments on home loans, car loans and personal loans. More significantly, the central bank lowered the GDP growth fore- cast for current financial year 2019-20 to 6.1 per cent from 6.9 per cent earli- er. It said the GDP growth could be in the range of 5.3 per cent in the second quarter (July to September) and be- tween 6.6 to 7.2 per cent in second half (H2 FY20) with risks evenly bal- anced. However, the GDP growth for first quarter of next fiscal (Q1 2020- 21) is projected at 7.2 per cent. India's economy grew by only 6.8 per cent in 2018-19, according to government data. AGENCY NEW DELHI, OCT 4 India on Friday strongly con- demned Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's "provocative" speech at the latest session of the UN General Assembly and stat- ed that it indicated Khan's inabil- ity to conduct international rela- tions. During a press briefing on Friday, Ministry of External Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar also dismissed Khan's call for a march to the Line of Control (LOC). "This is not the first time Pakistan has said such a thing. Pakistan's Prime Minister occu- pies a high constitution office. He has previously made such statements as well. You've heard his address at the UNGA as well, and he actually used very provocative and irresponsible language. We strongly con- demned such sort of statements. I feel like Khan doesn't know how to conduct international re- lations and probably that's why he can say such things," the Min- istry of External Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said during a briefing here. "He (Khan) had also given an open call for Jihad against In- dia. This is not normal behav- ior...As far as his call to violate the sovereignty and territorial in- tegrity of another country is con- cerned, I think this is not worthy of the office he occupies," Ku- mar added.

According to the ministry, the Home Minister stressed on govern- ment's policy of 'Zero Tolerance' towards terrorism, insurgency, cor- ruption as well as smuggling of weapons, narcotics and cattle. "He directed the senior officers to take stringent measures against these practices. The Home Minister also di- rected the DGs to identify all issues affecting border security and submit a detailed action plan to the ministry in this regard," a govern- ment press statement said.

In its fourth bi-monthly policy review, the central bank also reduced its benchmark lending rate by 0.25 per cent to revive growth that has hit a six- year low. After opening nearly 300 points higher, the 30-share index gave up all the gains to turn negative after the policy announcement by the Re- serve Bank of India (RBI). After gyrat- ing 770 points during the day, the 30- share Sensex ended 433.56 points, or 1.14 per cent, lower at 37,673.31. It hit an intra-day low of 37,633.36 and a high of 38,403.54. AGENCY NEW DELHI, OCT 4 Air Chief Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria on Friday described as a "big mistake" the IAF shooting down its helicopter in Kashmir on February 27, when Indian and Pakistani forces were engaged in a dogfight, and said disciplinary action is being taken against officers held responsible for the inci- dent. A surface-to-air missile of the Indian Air Force brought down the Mi-17 air- craft in Budgam in the Kashmir Valley, killing six IAF personnel on board the chopper and a civilian on the ground. The court of inquiry (CoI) ordered into the inci- dent has completed its probe and it has been established that the helicopter was hit by IAF's own missile, Bhadau- ria, who over as chief of the Air Force on Monday, said while addressing his first press conference. "It has been established that the helicopter was hit by our own missile. We have al- ready taken administrative action. Disciplinary action is being taken against two offi- cers. We admit that it was a big mistake and necessary steps have been taken so that such incident does not re- cur," he said ahead of Air Force Day on October 8. Before the press confer- ence, the IAF showed repre- sentational video clips of the Balakot strike. Administrative action has already been taken against four officers held re- sponsible for the helicopter crash by the CoI. Separately, disciplinary action like court martial procedures are being initiated against two senior officers, IAF officials said. The probe found there were "vital gaps" in commu- nication and coordination between the ground staff and the crew of the chopper. It also found violations of standard operating proce- dures. Earlier, military sources said the probe found that the 'Identification of Friend or Foe' (IFF) system on-board the helicopter was switched off and there were "vital gaps" in communica- tion and coordination be- tween the ground staff and the crew of the chopper. It also found violations of standard operating proce- dures. The IFF helps air de- fence radars identify whether an aircraft or heli- copter is friendly or hostile. The helicopter crashed in Budgam around 10 am on February 27 when Indian and Pakistani fighter jets were engaged in fierce aeri- al combat in Nowshera, a day after India's air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror- ist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan. The helicopter went down around 10 minutes af- ter taking off. Official sources said the helicopter was asked to return because of the dogfight 100 km away from Srinagar. AGENCY NEW DELHI, OCT 4 The Supreme Court Friday extended till October 15 the interim protection from arrest granted by the Bombay High Court to civil rights activist Gautam Navlakha in the Koregaon Bhima violence case. The apex court directed the Maharash- tra government to place before it the mate- rial collected during the ongoing investi- gation against Navlakha in connection with the case. While agreeing to hear Navlakha's plea challenging the Bombay high court order refusing to quash the FIR lodged against him, a bench of justices Arun Mishra and Deepak Gupta said that it would hear the arguments on October 15. The Maharashtra government had ear- lier filed a caveat in the matter seeking to be heard before any orders are passed. On September 13, the high court had refused to quash the FIR lodged against him in the 2017 Koregaon-Bhima case and for hav- ing alleged Maoist links, noting that there was prima facie substance in the case. "Considering the magnitude of the case, we feel a thorough investigation is re- quired," it had said. The high court had, however, extended the protection from ar- rest to Navlakha for three weeks to enable him to approach the Supreme Court to file an appeal against its order. The FIR was lodged against Navlakha and others by the Pune Police in January 2018 after the El- gar Parishad held on December 31, 2017 that had allegedly triggered violence at Koregaon Bhima in Pune district. NEW DELHI, OCTOBER 4 The Bharatiya Janata Party released its list of star cam- paigners for Haryana as- sembly elections and Punjab by-elections on Friday.

MOIN QAZI
Ablution is a term used torefer to ritual or sacredwashing for the pur-
pose of ritual purification inconjunction with prayer withinvarious religious traditions.They mark transitions fromprofane to sacred states, etcand are often associated withrites of passage. In Islam,achieving physical hygiene issymbolic of more than asqueaky clean body. It is thecleansing of the body, mindand soul.
The obligatory Islamic actof washing parts of the bodyusing water is called wudu or(less often) ghusl. Muslims are
required top e r f o r mwudu inpreparationfor ritualprayers andfor handlingand readingthe Quran.
Wudu is often translated as“partial ablution,” as opposedto ghusl, or “full ablution”. TheArabic term for the system ofritual purity in Islam is taharah.
Ghusl involves completewashing of the body in purewater and is prescribed when amajor ritual impurity (for ex-ample, sexual intercourse,
menstruation, childbirth) is in-curred. For the dead, ghuslmust be carried out before bur-ial. Wudu, minor ablution, isrequired to remove minor im-purities (urination, defecation,flatulence, deep sleep and lightbleeding). The need for purifi-cation is emphasised in boththe Quran and Hadith(Prophetic traditions), and ithas become an essential aspectof the worship ritual. TheQuran establishes the princi-ple: “O ye who believe! Drawnot near to prayer… till yehave bathed” (Q4:43). Mus-lims have a contractual rela-tionship to God that is manifestthrough the body. Looking af-ter the body is a prayer, a com-munion, an expression of a
commitment to God .The ham-mam or Turkish communalbath was a dark, womblikespace where Ottoman Muslimspurified themselves spirituallybefore entering a mosque orreciting from the Quran. Out-side most mosques and near tothe entrance, one can see awashing area, a shallow poolof water, where the worshippermay perform the requiredablution. If the worshippers areat home or at work, they mayuse whatever facilities as avail-able for cleansing. The stagesof the ablution are as follows:intention to perform the wudu;washing the hands to the wristthrice; rinsing the mouth andsnuffing water into the nostrilsthree times.
YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2019
Startled by the pace at which charges are piling up in the im-peachment inquiry, the US President, Donald Trump, ex-ploded in public in the presence of the President of Finland
on Wednesday. His bluster and anger in taking on his Democ-ratic accusers, chastising them in profane terms, and hisstonewalling of the impeachment process do not hide the seri-ousness of the situation in which the president of the world'soldest and most prosperous democracy finds himself. There ap-pears to be little doubt vis-a-vis the episode of his July 25 tele-phone call with the Ukranian President that Mr Trump had act-ed dishonourably. He had sought the help of the leader of a for-eign power in putting down his political opponent Joe Bidenthrough his son who had had business dealings in Ukraine. A se-ries of events, beginning with the speculation over Russia in-terfering in the US presidential elections of 2016 to tilt it in MrTrump’s favour through social media manipulation, had beenleading to this point.
Given the complex equations of the political scenario in ademocracy, these events may not lead to the impeachment mo-tion reaching the Senate, which is in the control of the Republi-cans. History reveals that in the modern age when Presidentscame close enough to being impeached, a guilty Richard Nixonresigned and Bill Clinton wriggled out. The fact that the processhas been begun by the Democrats just a year and a month be-fore the 2020 election is indictment enough of a cavalier per-sonality more accustomed to the wheeler-dealer ways of a real-ty tycoon. Mr Trump’s cynical use of a US payment of $400million to Ukraine as a quid pro quo in a telephone call, to whichthe then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was privy, makes theepisode actionable. And that may well have impelled House ofRepresentatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, thus far holding backthe Democrats’ impeachment move, to get down to it.
Trump may be taking the defiant route, perhaps secure inthe knowledge that his party’s Senate majority would inhibit hisopponents from taking this all the way to a vote that would needa two-thirds majority to pass. Also, there may be enough peopleof his constituency who are mainly white and of the evangeli-cal community for him to be a serious candidate for re-election,regardless of what the opinion polls may say a year to the polls.Also, the economy is doing well enough for people to thinktwice before they choose to condemn their President in whatthey will see right now only as a political move to discredit him.Of course, the impeachment inquiry could seriously expose MrTrump’s dalliance with impropriety in many things he may havedone as President with regard to dealings with foreign powersand their leaders. He may indeed have shamed the traditions ofoffice of the man widely seen as the leader of the free world. Butthat is Donald Trump in a nutshell, a misfit for the office so faras heading a liberal democracy goes, and yet he beat the Amer-ican electoral system to be in the White House.
EditorialFor now, Trump beingput through wringer
Despite a surfeit of rec-ollections, essays andinterpretations on Ma-
hatma Gandhi to mark his150th birth anniversary, thelast word can never be saidand there remains space formore. This is especially trueas the real challenge to adhereto Gandhi and Gandhism be-gins now, after rituals havebeen observed, statementsmade and his political legacysought to be co-opted. But, aswe begin marking this land-mark through the year, themoot point is if this year canbe different.
Gandhi was not unidi-mensional. As a politicalleader and communicator parexcellence, he was an astutepractitioner of his craft; as ne-gotiator and team-person, hebordered on being doggedand as a social and economicvisionary, he certainly heldarchaic and often impracticalideas.
Much before Indians getto understand the true politi-cal value of Gandhi, they areexposed to his “experiments”with truth and become theprogenitor of a legacy that theyouth wish to have to no partof. Much of Gandhi’s person-al choices, his sexual absti-nence contrasted by the con-stant companionship ofyoung women, his culinarypractices and his non-accom-modative ways have for longbeen ridiculed. Despite ro-manticising idyllic rural life,
and it becoming a draw in re-cent years among the well-heeled in the autumn of theirlives, migration from villagesto urban settlements is theeasiest way to personalprogress and growth. In thisbackdrop, Gandhi’s villagerootedness and assertions inthe 1930s when he was quiet-ly awaiting the appropriateopportunity to launch the “fi-nal” assault on British colo-nialism, stands out as odd. Itis elements from this phase ofGandhi’s life, many of whichsurely retain value, that havebeen the emphasised by thisgovernment.
The complete identifica-tion of Gandhi with theSwachchh Bharat campaign,essential and not one whichcan be doubted in its intent,may have done wonders forthe campaign but has reduced
the Mahatma to being abroom-wielding loin-clothclad oddity that people willpay lip service to every nowand then but whose philoso-phy they will miss out on.
In April, the governmenttook lead in marking the cen-tenary of the JallianwalaBagh massacre. The empha-sis was either on issuingstandard remembrances oron whether the British wouldissue a formal apology ornot. Prime Minister NarendraModi led the political leader-ship in paying tributes bysaying that the “valour andsacrifices” of the martyrs “onthat fateful day” can never beforgotten: “Their memory in-spires us to work even hard-er to build an India theywould be proud of,” he wroteon his Twitter handle. Presi-dent Ram Nath Kovind
termed the incident as a “hor-rific massacre, a stain oncivilisation, (a) day of sacri-fice (that) can never be for-gotten by India”. RahulGandhi, who was still offi-cially the Congress presi-dent, wrote on the visitors’book: “The cost of freedommust never ever be forgotten.We salute the people of Indiawho gave everything theyhad for it.”
None of the leaders men-tioned above or others intheir respective flanks re-called what led to thetragedy, after all it was notjust a ritualistic BaisakhiDay congregation. GeneralReginald Dyer's panic reac-tion had a political backdrop- the first indication of the la-tent power of Gandhi’sSatyagraha, and the possibil-ity of an anti-colonial strug-gle metamorphosing frombeing an annual or periodicjamboree into acquiring amass character.
It cannot be ignored thatinnocent people were gunneddown because British offi-cials feared the gathering na-tionwide campaign againstthe Rowlatt Act. There cer-tainly was political purposein people violating prohibito-ry orders in Punjab. Peoplein large parts of the countrywere angered at restrictionson personal freedom beingimposed by the draconianRowlatt Act, formally calledthe Anarchical & Revolu-
tionary Crimes Act, a war-time legislation which theBritish administration at-tempted to reintroduce withthe objective of restrainingnascent nationalistic senti-ment.
Leaders paying tributes,especially those from the Op-position ranks, would havedone better service to theirpolitical cause by recallingGandhi’s role in givingcourage to the people tostand up against the might ofthe British Empire. After all,the Jallianwala Bagh mas-sacre must be recalled notjust for the brutalities of thearmy but for the bravery ofthe people and the causewhich they believed in. It hasto kept in mind that the pro-posed law spawned one ofthe most memorable newspa-per headlines, used by a La-hore daily, “No Vakil, NoDaleel, No Appeal.” Mahat-ma Gandhi took the lead andsuccessfully called for thefirst all-India upsurge againstBritish colonialism at a timewhen such call to action wasunheard of. It required thepolitical vision of Gandhi torealise that politicisation ofthe people was not dependenton literacy levels and that thepoor and powerless could beencouraged to stand up fortheir rights.
The Gandhian initiativeagainst the Rowlatt legisla-tion has particular value incontemporary India given
the ease with which the gov-ernment introduced amend-ments to the Unlawful Activ-ities Prevention Act in thelast Parliament session andthe current political dis-course, fanned with officialpatronage, which equates op-position to government withanti-nationalism. The call forSatyagraha, the JallianwalaBagh massacre and protestsagainst it are not the only ini-tiatives of Gandhi that re-quire recollection. The cente-nary of each of these have tobe clubbed together and cel-ebrated with as much gustoas his 150th birth anniver-sary.
Events in 1919 also ledGandhi to include the Khi-lafat movement in the nation-alistic agenda, merge it withthe non-cooperation move-ment and lead the first massprotests against the British. Itwas Gandhi’s insistence onexplaining to people that it is“the right recognised fromtime immemorial of the sub-ject to refuse to assist a rulerwho misrules” which gavecourage to people. Gandhialso declared it was the dutyof Hindus to “associatethemselves with their Mo-hammedan brethren” on a re-ligious matter.
Indeed, in the 150th birthanniversary year, it is moreimportant than ever to recallGandhi’s messages on inter-faith harmony and the politi-cal rights of people.

Sabarimala is a riddle andits key is politics. Theby-poll season in Kerala
this month bears this out. TheSabarimala verdict of theSupreme Court on September28, 2018, removing age re-strictions on women worship-ping the celibate Lord Ayyap-pa at the hill shrine, continuesto be a poll refrain in Kerala.It helped the Congress-ledUnited Democratic Front(UDF) win all but one of the20 Lok Sabha seats in theMay general elections, leav-ing one to the ruling LDF andthe NDA none.
But the NDA, for the firsttime, garnered almost 29 percent of the Hindu vote, show-ing the “Sabarimala contro-versy as a repeatable emotiveinvestment like the RamMandir issue”.
By-elections to five As-sembly seats are slated forOctober 21. Between nowand November 17, whenChief Justice Ranjan Gogoiretires, his five-judge bench isexpected to deliver the crucialverdict on Sabarimala peti-tions seeking a review of theSC order of September 28. InFebruary, the court asked pe-titioners to submit their con-tentions in writing. There areroughly 64 review petitions,both for and against.
Other judges on the benchare Justices R.F. Nariman,A.M. Khanwilkar, D.Y.Chandrachud and Indu Mal-hotra. It is generally expectedthat the verdict would eitherbe to uphold the previous de-cision or refer it to a largerbench. The annual pilgrimageto Sabarimala for the 41-day
“mandala puja” starts on No-vember 16. The verdict is ex-pected by then or else a newbench will have to rehear thepetitions. Petitioners havepointed out the post-verdictchurning in the state, espe-cially thousands of womenmassing on the roads albeitagainst a progressive decisionthat removed the centuries-old shackles on equal rights toworship. But a large sectionof society feels the reformcannot be implemented by amere order: Women who donot visit temples during themonthly cycle, as a matter ofbelief, are not yet ready to ac-cept the change.
Already, state Congresspresident Mullappally Ra-machandran has announcedSabarimala would be a maincampaign point in the by-elections, especially in Konniin Pathanamthitta, where thehill shrine is located, and Vat-
tiyoorkavu in Thiruvanantha-puram, with a sizeable sectionof the state’s upper caste Naircommunity. The Nair ServiceSociety (NSS) has been at theforefront, fighting the “brazenmanner” in which the govern-ment implemented the topcourt’s verdict. The NSS wasangry with the “governmentfor being soft on the SC di-rective on the Jacobite-Ortho-dox church row while at thesame time being overzealouson the Sabarimala verdict”.
The Sabarimala agitation2.0 will see the OppositionUDF and the ruling LDF tak-ing the NDA to task for its“grandstanding” on Sabari-mala. At the state conventionof the Bharatiya Janata YuvaMorcha in Thrissur on Janu-ary 27, Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi said, in reference tothe Sabarimala temple, “Thepeople of India are seeing theCommunist government of
Kerala disrespecting all as-pects of Kerala’s culture... Letme tell you, neither the Con-gress nor Communists haveany concern for women’s em-powerment. If they did, theywould not be opposing theNDA’s efforts to end triple ta-laq. India has had manywomen chief ministers, buthas even one of them been aCommunist leader?”
Modi was sore with thePinarayi Vijayan governmentfor the way in which it imple-mented the Supreme Court’sverdict. However, Mr Modi’sCommunist-Congress bash-ing exposes the BJP’s owndouble talk: While the partysaw the law on triple talaq asa blow for women’s empow-erment, the party state unitpilloried the LDF governmentfor trying to enforce the pro-woman Sabarimala verdict.The BJP has since taken a U-turn. Union law and justice
minister Ravishankar Prasadsaid in reply to a question byShashi Tharoor in Parliamentthat the Centre would notbring any ordinance againstthe SC verdict on Sabarimala.
On June 21, BJP generalsecretary Ram Madhav told anews channel in Thiruvanan-thapuram that the Centrecould not bypass the SupremeCourt. “What is possiblelegally will be explored. TheSupreme Court is also in-volved in the matter, so wecannot completely bypass theApex Court and take deci-sions,” he told a regionalnews channel. The top brassare confused and there is re-sultant ambivalence abouthow to reap electoral divi-dends. The BJP had smelled“a golden opportunity” inSabarimala ahead of the LokSabha polls and succeeded inincreasing Hindutva backingfor its campaign. The RSS onits part prefers to see Sabari-mala as an assertion of genderjustice just as it would the im-plementation of a UniformCivil Code, a highlight of thedirective principles of thestate policy. That is perhapswhy leaders like Subraman-ian Swamy had wanted Cen-tral forces to be sent toSabarimala to enforce the SCverdict. But the RSS also re-sents the government “ridingroughshod” over women whomay not yet appreciate thelogic in the pro-gender ver-dict. “We do not approve ofthe way the LDF governmentsought to hector women to thehilltop”, said BharatheeyaVichara Kendra deputy direc-tor R. Sanjayan.

PAK NEEDS TO SEE TALIBAN AS ACHALLENGE, NOT AN ASSET
Eighteen years ago, theUnited States invadedAfghanistan to drive out
the Afghan Taliban, but is nowseeking their help to get out ofthe country itself.
The US-Taliban talks mayhave been suspended but arebound to resume as there is noalternative to a negotiated endto the war. Nevertheless, theend of the war will do little tobring peace to Afghanistan. Itwill solve America’s problem;but Afghanistan and Pakistanwill have to solve theirs.
Afghanistan and Pakistanhave had a tortuous shared his-tory that has left a complicatedlegacy of divided ethnicityacross a disputed border. Each
has responded by becomingfriendly with the other’s ene-mies. They will face muchgreater challenges as intra-Afghan talks start, which theymust sooner or later. The Tal-iban and Kabul will not only betalking but also fighting, hencepresenting a challenge to bothcountries that cannot be re-solved through strategies defin-ing their past interaction.
We have made mistakes inAfghanistan and paid for them.I hope we are not going to makeanother one by persisting withour traditional support for theTaliban in this new conflict thatwill be so different. On the onehand, the US and Afghanistanwill be more dependent on Pak-
istan to manage the Talibanthreat. On the other, Pakistanwill have less leverage with theTaliban as the latter, with theUS drawdown, would feelstronger and be less amenableto Pakistan’s influence. Pak-istan’s biggest challenge will beto prevent the Taliban from call-ing upon their old and new al-lies like the foreign and Pak-istani jihadists to join the battlein a replay of the conflict of the1990s. This conflict will loomlarge over Pakistan’s tentativestruggle against militant organ-isations and its efforts to sta-bilise the economy andstrengthen democracy amidcontinued pressures from an as-sertive and dominant India.

The Kharar MLA, Kan-warSandhu has suggestedcreation of a new lake on thepattern of Sukhna Lake inNew Chandigarh area tosave the upcoming townshipfrom being swept away dur-ing heavy rains.
In a letter to the PunjabChief Minister, CaptainAmarinder Singh today,Sandhu has drawn his atten-tion to the notice taken re-cently by the National GreenTribunal (NGT) to a builderhaving blocked the naturalflow of Siswan River toraise a series of multiplexesin New Chandigarh. Thisfollowed a petition by twobrothers of Bharonjian Vil-lage, Manjinder Singh andHarjinder Singh. The PunjabGovernment has been askedto give its reply within a
month. The two had citedimages taken from Googleearth to show the naturaldrains in the area over whichconstruction is being under-taken. The Kharar MLA haswritten that all seasonalrivulets north of the newtownship, including SiswanRiver should be earmarkedas per revenue records andsatellite images. All en-croachments on them shouldbe removed and heavy em-bankments should be con-structed on both sides of
these rivulets. Besides theseasonal river of Siswan, thearea has about one dozen“choes” (smaller rivulets)falling between Siswan andJayantiMajri habitations.For example, in certainplaces, Siswan River needsto have a width of between50 to 100 metres for the rain-water to flow uninterrupted.This must be taken up on awar footing before en-croachments block the age-old rainwater streams, whichcould spell an environmen-tal disaster in the comingyears. He has suggested re-construction of some of thebridges on the two majorhighways in the area. Duringrecent rains, two majorbridges on Boothgarh-To-gan Highway and one onMullanpur-Siswan Highwayproved to be ineffective dueto their faulty design. Be-sides, within the upcoming
Omaxe Township inBharonjian, the villagersbroke the blockades con-structed on internal roads bythe builder at two places toallow rainwater to passthrough and not inundatetheir houses and fields in thevillage. The State Govern-ment needs to ensure that theprivate builders take the nec-essary steps for passage ofrainwater in areas under de-velopment, Sandhu added.
He has written that orderto checkmate the free flowof Siswan River towardsNew Chandigarh, theKharar MLA has suggesteda new Lake north of theMullanpur-Siswan Highwayof about 1 Sq Km should beconstructed. He has evensuggested a possible site forthe proposed Lake - the areaaround the Old Bridge onthe Siswan River down-stream of Parol Village and
near Hoshiarpur village. Theproposed Lake would act asa barrier to the free flow ofSiswan River during rains.Besides, water from thenearby “choes” and over-flowing check dams couldbe diverted to the proposedLake. In the likelihood ofpotable water scarcity, theproposed Lake could alsoprovide drinking water tothe upcoming New Chandi-garh Township. Needless tosay, the proposed Lakewould help recharge groundwater and also contributemajorly towards recreation-al activities for people ofthat area, the MLA said.
Sandhu stated that theNew Chandigarh Townshipwas expected to be a count-er-magnet to the burgeoningUnion Territory of Chandi-garh. It is also going tohouse an international-levelCricket Stadium, he added.

DOHA: India's Asian Games gold medallist duo of shot putter Tejinder Pal Singh Toor and 1500m runner Jinson Johnson crashed out of the World Athletics Championships after failing to qualify for the finals of their respective events. The 24-year-old Toor produced a season's best effort of 20.43m to finish eighth in the Group B qualification round and 18th overall out of 34 competitors while Jinson ran a below par 3 minutes 39.86 seconds to end 10th in his first round heats on Thursday. He finished 34th overall out of 43 runners. Toor was the first to take the field but with eight shot putters from Group A having already touched the automatic final round qualifying mark of 20.90m, it was a difficult task for Toor to make the cut. The Punjab athlete has a personal best of 20.75m, which is also a national record, He opened with a 20.43m, bettering his earlier season's best of 20.36m but fouled his next attempt. Pressure mounted on him as three competitors from Group B touched the automatic qualifying mark in their first attempt while another shot putter did the same in the second round. That meant Toor had to touch 20.90m and rewrite his own national record in his third and final attempt if he has to qualify for the finals.

DOHA: Katarina Johnson-Thompson deposed her great rival Nafissatou Thiam as heptathlon world champion on a night when two other 2017 titleholders also surrendered their crowns. Johnson-Thompson's victory could not be described as a shock but Salwa Eid Naser's victory in the 400 metres caused shockwaves on Thursday. The 21-year-old Bahraini -- who left 2017 champion Phyllis Francis trailing in her wake -- recorded the third fastest time in history of 48.14 seconds. Only East Germany's world record holder Marita Koch and Jarmila Kratochvilova of the former Czechoslovakia have run faster and both were over 30 years ago. In doing so she became the first athlete to beat hot favourite Shaunae Miller-Uibo in over two years over both 200m and 400m.

NEW DELHI: Fifteen-year-old Shafali Verma had to trim her and fight for a chance to play cricket, now after making her debut she has questioned the discrimination against girls and batted for an equal chance for females in all fields. "I had to cut my hair to play a cricket match with boys as they did not want me to play with them because I am a girl and they used to say that I may get injured," she explained. Stating that she was disappointed over such incidents, Shafali further said, "Then my father said cut your hair shorter otherwise they will not let you play. So, I cut my hair and they didn't come to know that I am girl." "This happened when I was in process to start my cricketing career. They now came to know that the boy who they played with was actually a girl," quipped the batter. "These days women are doing much better than boys then why discrimination is there, we should be given equal chance in every field in my opinion," she asserted. Verma failed to leave a mark during her debut as she was dismissed on a duck. However, in the fourth T20I against South Africa, she hammered 46 runs off 33 deliveries to help her side register a 51-run victory. The 15-year-old said her father used to take her for practice along with her brother. "My family likes cricket so much.

Andy Murray went down fighting in the China Open quarter-finals on Friday as the former world number one lost 6-2, 7-6 (7/3) to top seed Dominic Thiem. The 32-year-old Briton, battling to get back to a semblance of his best following career-saving hip surgery in January, was defeated in just under two hours after threatening an unlikely, late comeback. A third match in four days in the Chinese capital proved a step too far for Murray, who looked exhausted after a three-set victory on Wednesday against Cameron Norrie. Murray, a three-time Grand Slam winner, had the Beijing crowd firmly behind him against the Austrian Thiem, ranked fifth in the world to his opponent's 503rd. But Murray lost his first service game to go behind from the outset, putting himself under pressure immediately.
