HAFLONG, June 7: The
12-hour Dima Hasao bandh
called by the Hills Tribe
Students’ Association
(HTSA) passed off
peacefully here on

US backs India’s
bid to join NSG
WASHINGTON, June 7: Backing India’s bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers
Group (NSG), the US has said that by
becoming the member of the elite grouping the country would be in a stronger
position to be a “good citizen” on proliferation- related issues.
“Having gone down the path of the civil
nuclear agreement with India, and having invested a significant amount of time in building up our cooperation with India as it relates to nuclear security,” Deputy National
Security Advisor Benjamin Rhodes told a
Washington audience.
Rhodes remarks on India came in response
to a question about why some countries like
China are opposing India’s membership in
the 48-member NSG.
“..I think the bottom line for us is that we
believe that through engagement with India
and through engagement with groups like
the NSG, we are in a better position to support India as a good citizen on these issues,”
Rhodes said.
He said that the US believed that engaging India and trying to bring it into international processes will be more effective in
promoting the country’s security protocols.
“And frankly, it takes place against continued conversations that we have with India
about their approach to nuclear weapons; and
of course, the support that we’ve always expressed for diplomatic efforts between India
and Pakistan,” Rhodes said in response to a
question at an event organised by the Arms
Control Association.

WASHINGTON, June 7:
The US today returned to India
over 200 stolen cultural artefacts,
some dating back 2,000 years,
estimated at USD 100 million,
with Prime Minister Narendra
Modi describing the cultural
heritage as a great binding force
in bilateral relationships. – PTI

DEBASISH BARUAH
NEW DELHI, June 7: The wait for appointment of chairman-cum-managing director (CMD) of the country’s second biggest State-owned oil and gas explorer, Oil India Limited (OIL), is likely to be over soon, as the Centre has shortlisted three applicants for the post.
According to sources, the choice for appointment of CMD
of OIL, pending for a long time, is down to three candidates,
including two from private sector and one from petroleum
sector giant, the ONGC.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) was forwarded a list of
10 shortlisted candidates, which was pruned to three, said sources, adding that a final decision is likely to be taken shortly.
Sunil K Bharti, who previously worked with Cairn India,
was called for the interview from the private sector, while
PK Rao, Director (Operations) of ONGC Videsh Ltd, and
Ashutosh Karnatak, Director (Project) of GAIL India Ltd,
were also among the shortlisted candidates.
At least 10 candidates were shortlisted from nearly 60
(See page 4)
KOHORA, June 7: The
State Environment and Forest Minister, Pramila Rani
Brahma, said here today that
she would adopt all possible
measures to stop poaching of
rhinos in the Kaziranga National Park and other wildlife
parks and sanctuaries in the
State.
Addressing a gathering of
locals during her visit to Kaziranga, she urged the people
to protect the pride of Assam,
claiming that she accepted the
portfolio of Environment and
Forest Minister with an aim
to stop rhino poaching across
the State. The arms and am-
munition of Forest Guards
would also be upgraded so
that the personnel can fight
back the poachers armed with
sophisticated weapons, she
added.
According to Brahma, one
of her main priorities is to understand various problems
faced by the Forest Guards
and Forest battalion staying
in the jungle camps of Kaziranga. She said that she
would interact with the frontline Forest staff without the
presence of any senior Forest officials so that they could
freely express their views
and grievances before the
Minister.
She also said that she would
start a process of recruiting
local people of Kaziranga in
the Forest Department.
Water Resources, Science
and Technology and IT Minister Keshab Mahanta, Dibrugarh MLA Prasanta Phukan
and Agriculture Minister Atul
Bora were also present in the
meeting.
While addressing the gathering, Mahanta said that a
special recruitment process
should be adopted to select
youngsters from Kaziranga
area in the Forest Department.
Dibrugarh MLA suggested
that a ropeway system should
be introduced in Kaziranga
forest so that it would facilitate the Forest Guards to patrol the area at night. Agriculture Minister Atul Bora assured that the interest of the
people of Kaziranga would always be preferred.
CBI nabs top
ONGC official
for graft
SPL CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI, June 7: The
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday arrested a DGM (Civil) and I/C Maintenance of the Oil and Natural
Gas Corporation (ONGC),
Assam Asset, Sivasagar, for
allegedly accepting a bribe of
Rs 50,000, a CBI spokesman
said here.
A case was registered
against the DGM (Civil) and
Maintenance, ONGC, Assam
Asset, Sivasagar, on the charges that the accused demanded
a bribe from the complainant
for releasing the security deposits that was refundable after completion of work. The
CBI laid a trap and caught the
accused while allegedly accepting the bribe amount from
the complainant.
Searches were conducted at
the office and residence of the
accused which led to recovery
of cash of Rs 5 lakh from the
drawer of his office table, the
CBI official said.
The arrested accused will
be produced before a court in
Guwahati, official sources said.
People must understand
that poll promises should
not be taken seriously!

DMs to be hauled up for poor
‘Beti Bachao’ report card
THE ASSAM TRIBUNE, GUWAHATI 3
NEW DELHI, June 7: District magistrates of the respective areas will be held responsible for poor progress under
the Centre’s ‘Beti Bachao,
Beti Padhao’ campaign aimed
at protecting and empowering
the girl child, Union minister
Maneka Gandhi today said.
“Wherever we have not
done well, I will be talking to
them (DMs) through video
conferencing every day. Eve-
ry DM will have to give me a
report and anybody who has
failed, it will go into his annual
confidential report (ACR) because I will be discussing it
with the Chief Minister concerned,” she said.
The Women and Child Development Minister was responding to a query at the All
Women Journalists’ workshop
here on decline in the child sexratio at Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.
“District authorities need
to tell all the village sarpanches about Pre-Conception and
Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act and
provide them counselling to
ensure protection of women
from violence,” a senior ministry official said.
“They have to put the fear
of the PCPNDT Act as Haryana has done. It is the key to it.
They need to map and regis-
ter all the ultrasound machines tives to change the attitude
in the districts and establish a of the people on the issue of
the girl child. – PTI
web portal,” he said.
The official said that 49 out
of 100 districts selected under
the programme had recorded
a significant improvement in
the child sex-ratio.
The scheme puts the onus
on deputy commissioners
and district magistrates for
adopting a proactive approach
by launching creative initia-
Police asked to produce prime witness
MUZAFFARNAGAR, June
7: A local court today directed the Gujarat Police to produce before it Kartik Haldar,
the alleged henchmen of
Asaram, in connection with
the murder of Akhil Gupta,
the prime witness in the Surat rape case against the selfstyled godman.
Acting Chief Judicial Mag-
istrate Arun Kumar ordered
the Gujarat Police to produce
Haldaf before the court on
July 2, the
prosecution
said. Haldar
was arrested
from Raipur in
Chhattisgarh
by the Anti-Terrorism Squad
of Gujarat in March and is
suspected to have shot dead
three key witnesses in rape
cases against Asaram.
Haldar had
allegedly killed
Asaram’s personal doctor
Amrut Prajapati in June
2014, his assistant-cumcook Akhil Gupta in January
Surat rape
case against
Asaram
last year and another key
witness, Kripal Singh, in July
last year.
During his interrogation,
Haldar had told officials he
had met the followers of
Asaram in 2014, who instructed him to kill witnesses in a bid to weaken cases
against the controversial
preacher, ATS said. – PTI
Rahul pitches for release of Udta Punjab
NEW DELHI, June 7: Amid a
raging controversy, Congress vice
president Rahul Gandhi today made
a strong pitch for the release of Udta
Punjab, noting that the State has a
“crippling drug problem” and censoring the movie would not fix it.
“Punjab has a crippling drug problem. Censoring #UdtaPunjab will
not fix it. The government must
accept the reality and find solutions,”
the Congress vice president said on
Twitter.
Anurag Kashyap, one of the producers of Udta Punjab, has compared the ongoing censorship regarding his forthcoming film to the
Call to probe
animal
entertainment
venues
KOCHI, June 7: After carcasses of several tiger cubs and
hundreds of other tiger parts
were unearthed at a popular
tourist destination in
Thailand, a global NGO on
animal rights today urged the
Centre to investigate all animal entertainment venues to
ensure such practices are not
being followed in the country.
The World Animal Protection said in a release that the
Tiger Temple, a tourist attraction in Thailand, has been
closed to the public since last
Monday when the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation
(DNP) raided it following allegations of illegal smuggling of
animal body parts. – PTI

A pre-release poster of Udta Punjab
dictatorship in North Korea.
The Bombay Velvet director said
there is no sense of freedom here.
“I always wondered what it felt like
to live in North Korea... Ab to plane
pakadney ki bhi zaroorat nahin...,”
he posted on Twitter.
The 43-year-old filmmaker’s
tweet came after the Censor Board
had purportedly raised certain objections regarding references to Punjab
following which the movie may have
to go through some changes.
Udta Punjab, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia
Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh in pivotal
roles, deals with the substance abuse
in the State and its effect on the youth.
“There is no film more honest than
Udta Punjab... and any person or party opposing it is actually guilty of promoting drugs,” Kashyap said. Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, the film is
slated for release
on June 17. – PTI

ISLAMABAD, June 7: Pakistan today said “hostile” intelligence agencies and their facilitators will not be allowed to
“foment trouble” inside its
territory as a high-level meeting voiced concern that the US
drone strike, which killed Taliban chief Mullah Mansour, “affected mutual trust”.
A meeting of senior civil and
military officials was held at
General Headquarters (GHQ)
in Rawalpindi to discuss issues
related to national security, the
Inter-Services Public Relations
(ISPR) said.
“Reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to enduring regional
peace, it was underlined that
hostile intelligence agencies and
their facilitators will not be allowed to foment trouble inside
Pakistan,” it said in a statement.
This comes amid Pakistan’s
allegations that an Indian spy
was involved in “subversive
activities” and was arrested.
Yesterday, Interior Minister
Nisar Ali Khan said Pakistan has
rejected India’s request for
consular access to the alleged
spy Kulbushan Jadhav.
Today’s was the first meeting in the absence of Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is
recovering in London after an
open-heart surgery.
The meeting also expressed
its concern on the May 21 US
drone strike, which killed Mansour in Balochistan, saying “it
was a clear violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty affecting
mutual trust and undermined
the spirit” of Afghan Peace
Process under mutually agreed
Quadrilateral framework.
The leadership resolved to
protect the core national interests and effectively countering
“any negative outside influence”, the statement added.
The meeting also took cognisance of ongoing regional developments and “inimical designs against our stability and
prosperity”, it said.
At the meeting, the officials
held detailed discussion on various issues related to external
and internal security situation
of the country including the
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Among those who attended
the meeting were Defence
Minister Khawaja Asif, Finance
Minister Ishaq Dar, National
Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz,
Advisor to Prime Minister on
Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi,
Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, Chief of the
Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif
and Director-General InterServices Intelligence Maj Gen
Rizwan Akhtar. – PTI
‘25 Indian
students asked to
leave US varsity’
US backs ...
NEW YORK, June 7: Atleast 25 of a total 60 Indian
graduate students at Western
Kentucky University have
been asked to leave their computer science programme after the first semester as they
do not meet its admission
standards, a media report said
today.
The move will force the
students to return to India or
find placement in another university or programme in the
US, less than six months since
their enrollment in January
after an agressive recruitment
campaign in India last summer
and fall lured them with tuition discounts and “spot admission”.
James Gary, the chairman of
the university’s computer science programme, said yesterday
that “almost 40” of the students
did not meet the requirements
of their admissions, even though
they were offered remedial help
by the university. – PTI

Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha on
April 25.
Sources said that senior IAS
officers Anil Kumar Jain and
Ravi Kapoor were among the
10 candidates in the fray for
the top job at the OIL.
Of the 10 shortlisted candidates, four were bureaucrats.
While Jain is a 1986-batch IAS

Adviser in NITI Aayog,
Kapoor is 1986-batch IAS officer from Assam-Meghalaya

them have previously served

A 1988-batch Assam-Meghalaya cadre IAS officer, Jishnu Barua, who is currently the
Joint Secretary in the Department of Personnel and Training, was also called for the interview, sources said.
From within the Oil India,
Director (Operations) PK Sharma was also called for the interview. The OIL Director (Finance), Rupshikha Saikia Borah,
who was previously selected
for the top job by Government
head hunter, the Public Enterprises Selection Board
(PESB), but rejected by the

though she had applied again.
The PESB, in its first round
of interview in November
2014, found Borah and five others unsuitable to replace SK
Srivastava, who retired on
June 30, 2015.
However, it selected Borah,
when it conducted a second

2015. Later, the Board scrapped
its decision and fresh applications were called. None of the
12 candidates, including Borah,
were found suitable in the third
round of interview done by the

Streamlining city bus service
A
lthough Guwahati as a city has
been growing fast, it does not have
a smooth city bus service. While
several areas of the city are yet to be
covered by public transport, in
majority of the city bus routes the
service is poor and haphazard. Moreover, no city bus can be seen on the road
after 8 pm despite there being a ‘night
city bus service’ as announced by the
government. Many of the city bus
stoppages also do not have sheds
where passengers can wait or sit. It’s
time the new government took
initiative to streamline the city bus
service in Guwahati.

GUWAHATI, June 7: Investigators probing the mysterious death of Kanak Choudhury,
a former Assam government
official, at his residence on
Sunday night, said that they
have not ruled out foul play
behind the entire episode and
have already started questioning a number of suspects to find
out the truth.
Although Choudhury was
found dead in his room in Simon House after a massive fire
broke out in his house located
in Paltan Bazar area, police said
that there are indications towards a foul play and that the
fire could have been caused intentionally.
Railwaymen’s
strike from
July 11
Police reasoned by saying,
“Had he died due to the fire,
he should have tried to make
his way out in a desperate situation. In this case, however,
his body was found lying on
the bed and there are apparently no signs of any moves of
desperation. Secondly, why
would a room be locked from
outside and no attempts were
made to unlock the door when
there were first signs of a crisis situation.”
“People are coming with different versions. His body was
totally gutted in the fire. We
are trying to find out whether
he died due to fire or was dead
even before the fire took
place,” sources said, adding
that property dispute is not
ruled out.
The forensic team has already collected evidences and
is examining them.
Sources at the State Fire
Service Organisation too expressed suspicion on the nature of the incident and said
that there is enough ground
to probe a murder angle and
that is why the matter has
been reported to the local
police station.
“As first responders, we
were initially told that there
was no person in the room
from where the body was
eventually recovered. It was a
massive fire and the reason
behind the incident is yet to
be ascertained,” a senior official said.

White Paper on finance
The Finance Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma,
who was also a member of the Congress Cabinet in the
erstwhile Tarun Gogoi dispensation, came out with a White
Paper on the State’s finances on June 3 last, as committed
by the new BJP-led Sonowal Government. The White Paper sheds light on the financial liability handed down by
the previous Government to the extent of Rs 10,000 crore,
which is now to be borne by the Sonowal Government. The
amount includes committed liability of more than Rs 1,359
crore of Chief Minister’s special packages and Rs 1,039
crore pertaining to the State’s Public Works Department.
The sorry state of financial health reaching the current
level and inherited by the new BJP-led Government has,
of course, come about through a long legacy of widespread
inefficiency, procrastinate policy initiatives, misuse, redundant and unproductive public expenditure on the one hand
and all-pervading corrupt practices on the other. What is,
perhaps, the most astonishing fact among those presented
in the White Paper is that there has been a continuous
contraction of resources on almost all heads of State’s own
revenue sources. Thus, internal resource generation
growth rate which was 24 per cent in 2005-06, dwindled to
a mere 1.4 per cent in 2014-15, the lowest-ever quantum
in the history of Assam’s revenue collection.
It is known to every one that in the past decade, apart
from infamous stories of large financial scandals, slippages
of funds to anti-social elements through corrupt officials,
public funds flowing out to finance luxury consumption of
dishonest public servants and a wide-ranging bribe culture
entering into almost every aspect of public life – all of which
together earned a few years back to Assam the infamous
distinction of being India’s most corrupt State. The CAG in
his audit report on fiscal slippages at the points of State’s
revenue collection every year did remind the State about
the need to contain revenue leakages and desist from misusing tax-payers’ hard-earned money. The CAG on April
2015 slammed the Govt of Assam for failing to submit nearly
20,000 utilisation certificates pending in 54 departments
relating to an amount of Rs 12,000 crore for the period 2001–
2014. This is just one of several instances of the State
Government resorting to financial irregularities. The White
Paper has rightly pointed out that the State’s revenue growth
has come down from 26 per cent in 2011-12 to 3.4 per cent
in 2014-15. Poor revenue collection from the State’s own
sources has naturally led to an ever increasing dependence
on Central funds. The situation has come to such a pass, as
the White Paper reveals, that the State has in the last five
years been completely dependent on the Centre. Due to
inefficiency, the State Government hardly spent 50 per cent
of the total budgetary outlay in 2015-16 fiscal. The outstanding liability of Rs 10,000 crore is a challenge before the new
Government, which has not only to boldly face it, but also has
to learn positive lessons from the earlier Government’s negative examples relating to financial management, honesty,
discipline, sincerity and devotion to duty.
Symbolic sacking
For quite sometime now, the dices were increasingly becoming stacked against Maharashtra political strongman
Eknath Khadse. Thus, the sacking of this senior BJP leader from the Maharashtra ministry has come as no surprise.
The only surprise has been the timing of the decision –
elections to the Maharashtra Legislative Council are due
on June 10 and it was expected that the party would delay
taking the step till those were over. Khadse, an important
leader belonging to the OBC, a segment of the BJP, has of
late been desperately trying to woo, and could perhaps
make things uncomfortable for Chief Minister Devendra
Fadnavis in these elections if rubbed the wrong way. However, the party decided to grip the bull prematurely by the
horn for a number of reasons. The most important of these
is that the regional strongman, once even considered as a
chief ministerial candidate after the BJP-Shiv Sena combine had come to power in Maharashtra, has not been seeing eye to eye with the party president Amit Shah and, in
extension, Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Central
leadership had been awaiting an opportunity to take action
against Khadse – this came in the shape of corruption
charges, especially against his wife, who was accused of
land-grabbing, among other things. Khadse’s aide too had
been arrested for demanding bribe from a businessman in
exchange for securing land allotment.
The extent of the forces ranged against Khadse could
be gauged from the fact that a charge brought against him
has been the somewhat far-fetched one of having links
with Mumbai underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, something
which the Mumbai Police itself has debunked. But the most
significant prod on the BJP’s conscience had been from
the Shiv Sena, which reminded the BJP leadership of their
pledge to root out corruption, and urged them to embark on
a symbolic sacking by removing Khadse. Thus, the party
has been at pains to project to the world that it was its
“moral” obligation to eradicate corruption and it would brook
no exception, no matter how powerful a person might be. If
such an action has been taken with real motivation to clean
up the political scenario not only in Maharashtra, but the
entire nation by setting an example, it is all to the good.
However, Khadse has a sizeable following and is in a position to put pressure upon the regional BJP leadership. His
confidence in being able to overcome what he apparently
deems to be a temporary setback was his assertion that he
would “stay away” till his “name is cleared” so that the
Opposition would not be able to attack the party. If Khadse’s
sacking proves to be temporary and the Maharashtra Government does not probe into the corruption cases against
him, the connotations would be somewhat different!

Majuli’s bid for World Heritage Site tag

knowledge that Majuli is the largest inhabited riverine island in the

Vaishnavite Bhakti tradition, rich
ethnic diversity and ecological diversity.
For quite sometime, NGOs, civil

disenchantment regarding the

EDITOR
Sir, – It is heartening to note
that Chief Minister Sarbananda
Sonowal has announced some
austerity measures and advised his
colleagues to follow the same
accordingly. The people of the
State wanted a change of guard
after witnessing and suffering from
rampant corruption for the last 15
years, resulting in the pathetic
economic condition of the masses,
especially in the rural areas.
The CM’s desire to reduce the
number of cars in his convoy is
very praiseworthy. Similarly, his
desire to remove the red lights in
the vehicles of all the ministers,
including his, and to obey traffic
rules like the general public
deserves admiration.
The CM’s order for closure of
illegal checkgates is most welcome
as these are nothing but moneymaking ventures for a large
number of thugs and middlemen,
whose illegal collection of money
results in price rise of essential
commodities. Follow-up action
with regard to closure of such
illegal checkgates remains to be
seen, with resultant price control
value (OUV) assessed on the basis
of certain operational guidelines of
UNESCO. The potential sites must
fulfil one or more out of a set of
prescribed criteria. The case of
Majuli as a World Heritage Site is
quite strong, if weighed against
such given criteria. The case for
Majuli is quite strong in the following criteria for OUV provided by
UNESCO itself:
Majuli is the most prominent
site of Neo-Vaishnavite Bhakti renaissance witnessed in the NorthEastern part of India. It shows linkages and popular responses of India’s North East to waves of Bhakti movement emerging in the 15th
and 16th centuries. Sankardeva,
the pioneer of neo-Vaishnavite renaissance preached monotheistic
Vaishnavism and established Satras or monasteries for the same.
The Satras and naamghars later
became the incubators for Satriya
dance, drama, music, art and spirituality. In fact, Sankardeva met his
famous disciple Madhavdeva
(known as Mani-Kanchan Sanyog)
in this islet itself. The meeting is
symbolic because it heralded an era
of more egalitarian, inclusive and
non-violent Vaishnavite Bhakti tradition of Sankardeva in Assam with
a marked departure from hyper-
ritualistic Shakta tradition of Madhavdeva. This unique cultural tradition is still alive on the soil of Majuli. Besides, there are certain civilisational aspects which raise curiosity. For example, pottery made
from beaten clay and burnt in fired
kilns bear strange similarity with
pottery made by people of the ancient Harrappan Civilisation.
Creativity is the essence of human existence. The rich cultural life
of Majuli embodies creativity at its
best in its dramatic tradition (eg.
Raasleela in Garamur Satra and
Kamalabari Satra), mask traditions
(eg. Mukha Shilpa of Samaguri Satra), Songs (eg.Borgeet written by
Sankardeva and Madhavdeva), festivals and everyday life. Human values of love, forgiveness and non-violence are integral to its cultural life.
There is healthy interaction between castes and ethnic groups (like
Mising, Deuri, etc), between localites and foreign tourists with rare
instances of conflict. Syncreticism,
peaceful co-existence and egalitarianism are integral to Majuli’s sociocultural life.
In an era of intense consumerism and materialism, families inhabiting the Hatis (area of habitation for followers in Satras) live a
decent, peaceful life on land owned
by the Satras. It is surprising to
see people living peacefully in con-
crete houses with private gardens
in front without campus walls or
separate entry gates and sharing
common access roads. Such sustainable lifestyle adheres well to
Mahatma Gandhi’s words
“...enough for everyone’s need, but
not for everyone’s greed.” On the
other hand, the Chang-ghars
(mounted houses) of Misings and
other ethnic communities inhabiting flood-prone areas of Majuli represent traditional human settlement with indigenous disaster-resistant technology, organic lifestyle
and efficient material use.
Majuli has a unique location,
within the bosom of the Brahmaputra. The riverine topography, the
Chars (sandbars) and the flora and
fauna add to its magnificence. Sunsets along the Brahmaputra, spells
of rain in the green fields and evenings spent in Mising Chang-ghars
offer a visual treat. The surreal
nights spread across swamps,
marshes and open fields around
Dariya-Dubi define coordinates of
magical realism. The full-moon
nights of Raas Purnima with soothing music from distant Raasleela
drama performances have a magnetic appeal for connoisseurs.
It is a well-known geographical
fact that the Brahmaputra changes
direction and causes frequent floods
in its floodplains due to heavy silta-
tion and deposition. Chars are
formed in and around Majuli due to
the ever-changing Brahmaputra,
which are of transient nature. Not
only the Brahmaputra, but also seismic activities have affected the geological, ecological and biological coordinates of Majuli. Not only is its
area shrinking, but many of its biological species are either shifting or
dying due to the ongoing ecological
changes.
Majuli has become a feeble narrative of pain in recent times. Frequent floods and massive soil erosion have reduced Majuli’s area
from 1,250 sq km to 352 sq km in
2014. Inclusion of Majuli in the
World Heritage Site list will increase general awareness among
citizens, civil society groups and
governments for better heritage
preservation and protection. It will
open up channels for greater financial assistance, effective cooperation and expert advice from the
World Heritage Site Committee
for preservation of its unique heritage. It requires strong political
will both at the State and the Central level. The State Government
too should pursue this cherished
goal with utmost urgency and honest commitment. The global community on its part should cooperate in preserving this dream called
Majuli.
On the Govt’s austerity measures
of essential commodities.
The decision of the outgoing CM
Tarun Gogoi to retain all the
benefits/amenities that he had
enjoyed as CM even if he is
dethroned (which is the case now)
deserves condemnation. It simply
proves his greediness only. Since he
has ceased to be the CM, the
benefits/amenities in question
should be withdrawn forthwith as
another austerity measure. In this
connection, it may be pointed out
that the former West Bengal CM,
Late Siddhartha Sankar Roy, also
wanted to enjoy all these benefits
even after losing power, but these
were withdrawn immediately after
Jyoti Basu came to power. It will be
in the fitness of things that the new
Assam CM also does the same in
the case of Tarun Gogoi. Yours etc.,

Irreparable loss
Sir, – The sad demise of iconic
and legendary boxing heavyweight
champion that the world ever
produced, Muhammad Ali alias
Cassius Clay is a great loss for the
world of sports. I am not going to
repeat his achievements, but I
would like to project him as a
social activist who unlike other
sportspersons did protest against
racism. Boxers like him enjoy
their years in the ring and they are
forgotten. Their influence is also
largely confined to the world of
sports only. The solitary exception
was Muhammad Ali, who was born
to a Christian family. Within the
ring, Ali used his gloved fists with
devastating effect on all his
opponents, but outside the ring he
used his status as a Black sports
person to fight racism, apartheid,
to promote the cause of Black
Muslims and to support the antiVietnam war protests. He thus
became a larger than life figure
who symbolised for many the
politics of anti-establishment that
captured the imagination of an
entire generation of youth who
grew up in the 1960s and 1970s.
He symbolised an age which is
time and again seen as an epoch of
ideas that set intellectual inclinations. But Ali was a boxer who
came to stand for certain views. “I
am the greatest” became a chant
within and outside the ring. He
was not only a heavyweight world
boxing champion, but also fashioned himself as an icon of the
second half of the 20th century. In
the coming years, we may have
better boxers than Muhammad Ali,
but it can be easily predicted that
there will never be anyone in
boxing history quite like him.
Yours etc., ASHIM KUMAR
CHAKRABORTY, Pandu.
Suggestions to CM
Sir, – I would like to suggest
the new Chief Minister to act on
the following: Registered office
of the Tea Board should be
shifted from Kolkata to either
Guwahati or Dibrugarh. It is
really ridiculous to have the Tea
Board head office in a State that
produces much lesser tea, rather
than the highest tea- producing
State of the country. Not only do
we have a GIS marking for
Assam Tea, but also have a
community and culture related
to tea. This is the best of times
to achieve this goal.
Effective steps should be taken
to popularise the life and works of
Dr Bhupen Hazarika at the global
level. This will lend Assam the
long deserving respect in the
international arena. Yours etc.,
PRANAB KUMAR DEKA,
Panjabari, Guwahati.
Expulsion of students
Sir, – The expulsion of three
students by Gauhati University
is uncalled for. Corruption is
rife in Gauhati University,
especially in the Administrative
Wing.
Many years ago, I had a
personal experience wherein
even after the intervention of
the then Vice Chancellor, a
paper/file did not move from one
table to the other within the
same room. The students are
helpless because they cannot
agitate for fear of inviting
trouble. The Vice Chancellor
should see the muck in his office
before taking any action against
the students.
Secondly, the Vice Chancellor
should enquire into the system
of doctoral and MPhil degrees
and how students are held to
ransom by a section of
Professors.
I may be branded as a leftist or
a communist, but at my age I am
just upright. I therefore feel that
the students should carry this
agitation to its logical conclusion.
Yours etc., ANJAN BARUA,
Guwahati.

GUWAHATI, June 7: A meeting was
held at the Circuit House here today to
discuss preparations for the forthcoming
Ambubachi Mela.
The meeting was chaired by Dr M
Angamuthu, Deputy Commissioner of
Karmup Metro, said an official statement.
The annual Ambubachi Mela at the
Kamakhya Temple will be held from June
22 to 26.
At the meeting, the DC directed all
departments to coordinate their efforts
for successfully holding the event, which
is expected to witness convergence of
lakhs of devotees from both within and
outside the country.
Officials from various departments including PWD, Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC), Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA),
Public Health, Electricity Board, NDRF
and SDRF, ASTC, police and others participated in the meeting.
Dr Angamuthu said that this time the
Mela is sought to be turned into a “na-
tional event” where around 15 lakh devotees are expected to congregate and
proper arrangements will have to be
made for their accommodation, transport
and other needs.
The city will be divided into seven
zones during the period of the event, each
headed by an Additional Deputy Com-
missioner, who will be in charge of the
managing committee of the particular
zone. Each zone will have officials from
all departments concerned.
A total of five camps will be set up for
accommodation of devotees, including at
Sonaram High School playground and Kamakhya Railway Station.
The DC ordered all officials to complete their arrangements by June 19.
The APDCL has been asked to ensure uninterrupted power supply for
the duration of the Mela at the Kamakhya Temple, camps of pilgrims and other places.
The PWD was directed to upgrade the
streetlights on the Neelachal Hills and
nearby areas. The transport department
has been asked to keep 100 buses for
transportation of pilgrims and devotees.
Besides police, around 1,000 volunteers will be deployed for duty during
the event.
Party to link CM with grassroots: Bharali
R DUTTA CHOUDHURY
Assam State Committee of the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
will send feedbacks from the
grassroots level to the Chief
Minister so that the BJP-led
alliance Government can fulfil
the aspirations of all sections
of people of the State. This
was disclosed by Santanu
Bharali, who took over as the
acting president of the State
unit of the BJP today.
Talking to The Assam Tribune after taking over charge
today, Bharali said that the main
priority would be to give constructive support to the Government. The people of Assam, who were fed up with the
Congress rule, elected the
BJP-led alliance Government
with high hopes and it is up to
the Government to deliver to
expectations of all sections of
people, he pointed out.
Bharali said that his main
priority would be to give constructive support to the Government and to strengthen
the party’s organizational
strength in the State so that
“we can serve the people of
the State at least for the next
50 years.” He said that the
BJP has booth level committees and the members those
would be asked to send their
feedback on the performance
of the Government. The feedback received from the grassroots level would be shared
with the Government so that
it can formulate its policies
and plans accordingly to the
expectations of the people, he
added. He also said that at the
personal level also, he would
maintain regular contact with
Chief Minister Sarbananda
Sonowal and inform him of the
feedback received from the
ground level.
The BJP acting president
asserted that there would not
be two power centres – one at
Dispur and the other in the
party office. “We will work
hand in hand and give all the
support that the Government
requires to fulfil the expectations of the people,” he asserted. He also said that the BJP
now has around 28 lakh mem-
bers and efforts to increase the
number of members would
continue in the days to come.
Bharali said that maintaining
a cordial relation with the alliance partners is vital for the
smooth functioning of the Government. He revealed that the
BJP would hold regular interaction with the alliance partners Asom Gana Parishad
(AGP) and Bodoland People’s
Front (BPF) and their suggestions to ensure smooth functioning of the Government
would be shared with the Chief
Minister. “There is no problem which cannot be solved
through discussions and the
BJP would follow that policy
for the solution of the problems of the State,” he added.

STATE
Farmers urged to avail benefits of Government schemes
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI, June 7: A farmers’
fair-cum-awareness programme on
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
(PMFBY) was organised at the Kahikuchi campus of Assam Agricultural
University on the city outskirts recently to create awareness among the
farming community of Kamrup district regarding the recently-launched
PMFBY programme.
Organised under the aegis of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Kamrup
in collaboration with Horticultural
Research Station, Kahikuchi, the
programme was attended by over
700 farmers from different locations
of the district. The inaugural meeting of the programme was chaired
by the Vice-Chancellor of Assam
Agricultural University Dr KM Bujarbaruah and was attended by
Member of Parliament from Guwahati Lok Sabha constituency Bijoya
Chakraborty as the chief guest.
In his welcome address, Dr DN
Kalita, Programme Coordinator of
KVK Kamrup, highlighted the
risks and uncertainties faced by the
farming sector and underlined the
importance of the PMFBY in meeting the same.
Dr BC Deka, Director of ATARI
located at the ICAR station in Meghalaya, mentioned that the PMFBY
has overcome the deficiencies and
weaknesses of the previous crop insurance schemes and urged the farmers to go for a more cost-effective
mechanism of crop insurance through
community-based approaches.
Addressing the farmers, Dr Apurba Chakraborty, Director of Veterinary Research of the Assam Agricultural University, said that the
PMFBY is a highly simplified
scheme which would make it easier for acceptance even by the small
and marginal farmers.
Earlier, delivering her inaugural
speech, Bijoya Chakraborty emphasised on soil health analysis for increasing farm-level productivity. She
said that the PMFBY is an excellent
scheme for the farmers to make up
for the losses incurred by them on
account of the vagaries of nature. She
urged the farmers to avail the advantages of all the government schemes
for their own benefit.
Dr KM Bujarbaruah said that it was
time the State had a special agricul-
tural cabinet for the inclusive growth
of the agricultural sector. He also underscored the need for establishment
of a farmers’ commission in the State
to look into the needs and aspirations
of the farming sector and adopt pragmatic policy measures for its holistic
development.
Pulak Mahanta, ADC of South
Kamrup underlined the need for convergence of the agriculture, animal
husbandry and irrigation departments
for inclusive development of the
farming community.
During the inaugural meeting,
soil health cards were also distributed to farmers from Satpokholi village of Kamrup district, which is an
adopted village of KVK Kamrup under the ‘Mera Gaon Mera Gaurav’
programme.
Another highlight of the event was
an interactive session with the farmers to enlighten them on the provisions of the PMFBY and address
their queries. The session was facilitated by the Joint Director (Crop Insurance) of the State agriculture department, the District Agricultural
Officer and the District Veterinary
Officer of Kamrup district as well as
functionaries from the Reliance Insurance Company.
Scientists from Horticultural Research Station, Kahikuchi, also participated in the interactive session.
An exhibition of agricultural products and technologies was also organised on the sidelines of the programme, which saw participation of
several State and Central Government organisations, NGOs and SHGs.

Level crossing
awareness week
GUWAHATI, June 7: Indian
Railways is observing ‘Level
Crossing Awareness Week’
from June 6 to 10 and the ‘International Level Crossing
Awareness Day’ on June 10, to
promote safety awareness
among its staff and public at
large. The Lumding Division of
the Northeast Frontier Railway
is making an all-out effort to
make its 260 level crossing
gates (manned and unmanned)
safer and less prone to accidents by undertaking safety
drives regularly, a press release
received here stated.
Approximately 40 per cent
of the train accidents and 66
per cent of the fatalities occur
at the level crossing gates,
across the country. To combat
these manmade and avoidable
accidents, the Indian Railway
has come up with a concept of
‘3Es’ (Education, Engineering
and Enforcement).
Accordingly, the Lumding
Division is sparing no effort in
ensuring a smooth road surface
and proper maintenance of level crossing apparatus including
interlocking and signalling
gears along with round the
clock staffing by deputing
trained and disciplined gatemen at the manned level crossing and proper warning and indication board at the unmanned
level crossings. ‘Gate Mitras’
are being engaged to act as
friendly guides to the road users at the unmanned level
crossings. The Lumding Division has stepped up its enforcement drive against violators of
safety norms at the level crossing gates as provided by Railway Act 1989. Public awareness and education has been
accorded a primary focus. Pamphlets, hand bills, safety awareness campaigns, road shows,
street dramas etc., are being
organised with the assistance
of the Bharat Scouts & Guides,
NGO’s, school students, police
and district administration.
Regulation Act, 2010, complete
violation of the requirements of the
Assam Urban Affordable Housing
and Habitat Policy.
Moreover, he said that existing
residential and agricultural areas on
myadi patta land have been shown
as government land and reserve
forests, and even as water bodies,
where no such water bodies or
forests exist; fully developed areas
as eco-sensitive zones/ no development zones, as also villages as
rivers, and reserve forest areas as
patta land.
The private educational institution claimed that their findings
were based on existing cadastral
maps, but on scrutiny, admitted that
290 revenue maps were missing,
and forest areas marked were not
based on measurements or field
verification.
He said that AREIDA wonders
as to how a particular individual
professor, who is out of the CEPT
since April, 2014, has become the
sole authority on Guwahati
Master Plan, till today, as declared by GMDA. This is despite
the fact that this particular
person has been out of CEPT,
since April 2014.
This particular person is also the
professional consultant for a
number of private parties operating
in the real estate sector in Guwahati. As such can he be the consultant
for the Master Plan, Sarma questioned.
He also dared the GMDA to
justify as to how the current dean of
the CEPT has been kept quite in
the dark, despite the fact that the
current dean is an architect of
international repute.
The above technical committee
duly documented and certified
that the Building Construction
Regulation Bye Laws, 2014, of
Guwahati has been in force with
numerous errors, most of which
are in the nature of mistakes,
clerical or otherwise. This was
officially intimated to the Government immediately upon
notification in February 2014. Yet
almost two and a half years since
then, the Government has
preferred to keep the defective
Bye Laws in force on one or the
other pretext.
In the meantime, developmental activities continue to be
virtually at a standstill for almost
over four years, since June 11,
2012, when permissions were
stopped, other than those already
applied for earlier, said the
AREIDA president.

Expressing concerns on the
plight of the farmers, PWD
Minister Parimal Suklabaidya
said that this scheme has the
solution to problems the farmers face. He urged the banks
to step up to extend assistance
to the farmers.
Taking a dig at the corrupt
practices in the irrigation and
agricultural sectors in the past,
Parimal said that efforts must
be made to create a corruption-free environment which
facilitates farmers to produce
more and get better returns.
“Farmer suicide in India is a
major cause of concern. We
must combat the crisis by extending cooperation towards
the farmers who toil hard to
give us food,” Suklabaidya said.
He also gave away the Soil
health Cards to ten farmers in
the meeting.
Sonai MLA Aminul Haque

the financial institutions must
encourage the farmers to be a
part of the scheme.
Earlier, Silchar MP Susmita Dev said that there are apprehensions about double cropping in the district but she
hoped that the new government in the State will lay thrust
on the agriculture sector. She
also expressed concern over
the rise of farmer suicide cases in the country and said, “I

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
DIBRUGARH, June 7: The
Dehing Welfare Society, a non
profit voluntary organisation
has opened an information centre for cancer patients at Brahmaputra Lodge Building, Paltan Bazaar here.
The organisation seeks to
provide free information to the

Institute, Guwahati or Tata
Cancer Hospital, Mumbai and
others. According to the NGO
workers, there are several
cancer hospitals offering very
quality services at cheap prices but people are unaware of
them. “The major cause for
cancer deaths in India is the
high treatment cost and inferior quality of facilities in about
40% of cancer centres in India,” said NGO official Ammamuddin Ahmed.
The NGO will provide information relating to paper
works, journey, accommodation, treatment, procuring free
Chemotherapy and arranging
financial assistance from the
State government and Central
schemes.
“At present we are sharing
information relating to cancer
diseases but in the future we
will be able to provide necessary details to help patients
suffering from liver, kidney
and other diseases. Moreover,
we are in touch with the various generic medicine company to purchase cancer medicine directly so that we can
provide the medicines at low
rates,” Ahmed said.

the death of nine young protesters last
September in Churachandpur district of
the State. Last month, four legislators
of the Naga People’s Front met the
Home Minister and asked him not to
take any action for ensuring the presidential nod to the three Bills.
The Joint Committee on Inner Line
Permit System (JCILPS), which is
spearheading the movement for the
legislation to protect the indigenous
population from migrants, threatened
of a shutdown against the delay in enactment of the three Bills.
The Bills are: The Protection of Manipur People Bill, 2015, The Manipur
Land Revenue and Land Reforms (Seventh Amendment) Bill, 2015 and The Manipur Shops and Establishments (Second
Amendment) Bill, 2015.
Our Imphal Correspondent adds:
Meanwhile, the JCILPS has called a 13hour ‘cease-work strike’ from 5 am tomorrow.
In another development, the Joint
Action Committee Against Anti Tribal Bills has decided to imposed a 10day economic blockade on all Highways passing through Manipur as well
as ban on all ongoing national projects
in the tribal areas from June 9 midnight till June 19 midnight, according
to another press release.

Inner Line Permit system-related Bills
NEW DELHI, June 7: Amidst growing tension, an all-party delegation from
Manipur, led by Chief Minister Okram
Ibobi Singh, called on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and apprised him
about the need for the Presidential Assent to convert three Inner Line Permit
system-related Bills into Acts.
The development came even as the
Manipur Tribal’s Forum staged a demonstration against the all-party delegation in front of the Manipur Bhavan here.
The Chief Minister, who was joined by
representatives of BJP, LJD, JD(U),
CPI(M), among others, conveyed to the
Home Minister the necessity of getting
the Presidential Assent to the three Bills,
which were opposed by tribal groups of
the State. Singh gave a patient hearing to
the delegation, official sources said.
The three Bills were passed last year
in August after months of mass movement to protect the indigenous populace from the illegal immigrants in the
State, including those from neighbouring Myanmar.
The delegation sought Presidential
Assent to have the three Bills converted
into Acts. The Bills have been strongly
opposed by the various tribal groups, including the Nagas and Kukis, who mainly
inhabit the hill districts of Manipur.
The Manipur Tribal’s Forum (MTF)
has for many months been protesting in
He said no Government wants to take
the plunge to solve the issue due to politicking.
Sangma said, if the Government takes
a decision, there would always be some
from Opposition who would jump and
paint the settlement as a sell-off. “We
cannot decide on the issue due to political ramifications,” he added.
The Chief Minister said he has spoken to Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and both have decided in
principle to put the issue at rest once
and for all. “We need political parties
from both the States coming together
and finding a solution to this sensitive
issue. There is no room for politicking,”
Sangma said.
Meghalaya and Assam have 12 areas
of differences. Moreover, there are two
areas, Block I and Block II, which Meghalaya wants to be “transferred” to
Meghalaya. Currently, a Chief-Secretary
level meeting is on between the two
States, but these parleys have not made
much headway.
Tripura Cong faces fresh
crisis as 6 MLAs quit party
AGARTALA, June 7: The
Congress today faced another crisis in the Northeast with
six dissident MLAs in Tripura quitting the party and joining the Trinamool Congress,
which will now become the
main opposition party in the
Left-ruled State.
Tripura is the fourth northeastern State after Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya where Congress has been
hit by dissidence.
The six rebel Congress
MLAs, led by former Leader
of the Opposition Sudip Roy
Burman, submitted a letter to
Tripura Assembly Speaker Ramendra Debnath saying they
are quitting the party and joining the Trinamool Congress.
Of the six dissident MLAs,
Burman, Biswabandhu Sen,
Diba Chandra Hrankhawl and
Asish Saha were present
when the letter signed by the
MLAs was handed over to the
Speaker.
Two other MLAs – Dilip
Sarkar and Pranajit Sinha Roy
– were not present on the
ground that they were unwell
but spoke to the Speaker over
phone, official sources said.
Confirming that he has received the letter, Tripura Assembly Speaker Ramendra
Chandra Debnath said, “It was
signed by six Congress MLAs
informing me that they have
joined the Trinamool Congress.” The Speaker added that
he would review their plea.
Burman has been elected
leader of the TMC legislature
group in Tripura and is expected to stake claim to the
post of the Leader of the Opposition.
This brings the Congress’
tally in the 60-member Tripura Assembly to three from 10.
State Congress president Birajit Sinha and two other
MLAs remain with Congress.
In the 60-member House, the
Left Front has 50 seats.
Elections to the State Assembly will be held in 2018.
Another dissident Congress
MLA, Jiten Sarkar, who has
resigned from the Assembly,
has expressed willingness to
join ruling CPI(M), according
to CPI(M) State secretary Bijan Dhar.
Dhar said that Sarkar is a
former member of CPI(M),
who had won Assembly elections five times on CPI(M)
ticket and was Speaker of the
Assembly for nine years. He
would be taken back in the
CPI(M) fold, he said.
The Congress rebels said
they have resigned over the
party’s decision to partner with
the Left in the West Bengal
elections that saw Chief Minis-
ter Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress defeat the alliance with a big decisive win.
A combative Burman, who
was the Congress’ chief ministerial candidate in the last
elections, said, “Our objective
in joining the Trinamool is to
defeat this corrupt, anti-people government of the Left.”
Burman had earlier resigned from the post of the
Leader of the Opposition in
protest against the CongressLeft tie-up before the West
Bengal Assembly elections.
Still reeling from the loss
of Assam, a State it had ruled
for 15 years under the stewardship of Tarun Gogoi, to the
BJP last month, Congress
faced rebellion in its ranks in
Meghalaya, where it rules
with a razor thin majority and
the help of allies.
In Arunachal, Kalikho Pul
became the Chief Minister with
the support of BJP in February
this year after quitting the Congress along with 19 rebel party
MLAs in the 60-member
House. BJP, with 11 MLAs and
two independents, backed him.
Pradyot Deb Barma,
former Tripura Congress
chief, termed the resignations
as “politics of opportunism”
and is confident that the Trinamool will not benefit from
his party’s loss. – PTI
NGO seeks Tura as ‘Winter Capital’
CORRESPONDENT
TURA, Jun 7: Raising the pitch for Tura to
be declared the ‘Winter Capital’ of the State,
the Achik Youth Council (AYC) today sent a
memorandum to Chief Minister Dr Mukul
Sangma seeking his consideration on the
move.
“We face much inconvenience in visiting
State capital Shillong as we have to travel
over 300 km, spending a reasonable amount
of money on travel, stay and fooding. Moreover, the expenses increase if we have to stay
long,” said Dimseng Marak, president of AYC.
The NGO added that many people cannot afford to spend a huge amount of money if a
certain requires multiple visits.
“Tura is the second largest urban town in
the state and headquarters of the Garo Hills
region, but no there is no directorate-level
office of the State Government, except the
MBOSE,” said AYC general secretary Soshan
Sangma.
“We are all aware that residents of Khasi/
Jaintia Hills don’t even have to come to Tura
for MBOSE-related work as there is a section of the department there as well. The fullfledged establishment of the MBOSE Cell in
Shillong is indeed laudable initiative. We also
want the same kind of facility and benefits to
save us the trouble of unnecessary visits to
Shillong for every purpose,” added the NGO.
The NGO said that the move would boost
the economy of Garo Hills if directorates of
more departments were set up in Garo Hills.
“We, on behalf of the people of Garo Hills
earnestly request your kind attention into the
matter and to understand the problems of the
people of Garo Hills region. We believe that
the state government will initiate the necessary steps and solve the perennial problems
at the earliest,” added Dimseng.
TURA, June 7: Chased by
the police while they were in
the general camp of the Garo
National Liberation Army
(GNLA), two more members
of the outfit today surrendered to the police in Williamnagar in East Garo Hills
(EGH).
The two GNLA militants,
who hail from Dimogre village in Rongsak, East Garo
Hills and identified as Mithun
Ch Marak (Sildoreng) and
Roberth Ch Marak (Alda), surrendered in front of EGH Superintendent of Police (SP)
Davis Nestel R Marak.
The duo had joined the
GNLA as recruits of the 6th
batch and had undergone
training in firing of pistols and
rifles and use of hand grenades
and bombs.
The cadres were staying together with other GNLA militants in the general camp of
GNLA when Meghalaya Police laid a siege on them, firing from all directions.
The two managed to escape
and were on the run before
contacting Joint Secretary of
UDP, Arun N Marak and their
relatives who helped them to
surrender at 11 am. They said
that they have been leading a
very difficult life in the jungle
amidst constant fear of attack
and expressed happiness to
come over ground.
1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 25.
The ruling Congress tops the chart with 11
seats (4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 19, 20, 22 and 24) thus
emerging as the largest party. Interestingly, Independent candidates have sprung a major surprise, winning five of the wards: 10, 12, 21, 23
and 26. The CPI got just one seat (27). – Correspondent

RBI leaves key rates unchanged
MUMBAI, June 7: Citing rising
inflationary pressure, RBI Governor
Raghuram Rajan today kept interest
rates intact but said his monetary
policy remains “accommodative”
and hinted at a cut later this year if
good monsoon helps ease inflation.
He also exhorted banks to pass on
the benefits of earlier rate cuts and
emphasised that a better transmission of policy easing remains critical
to support growth.
He left unchanged the key policy
rate, repo, at 6.50 per cent and the
cash reserve ratio at 4 per cent, citing the uncertainties on account of
the surge in inflationary pressure
and reversal in commodity prices.
“What we are saying is that we
have not shifted stance to either a
neutral stance or tightening stance.
We are still accommodative, that
means we are looking for room to
RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan at a press conference in Mumbai on Tuesday. – UNI
ease. If that room opens up we will
be able to ease. But now, I can’t tell
you because there are lots of uncertainties around this. But broadly we
are still in easing mode,” Rajan told
reporters at the customary post-policy briefing.
Explaining the rationale for his caution, Rajan said, “All we are saying is
that relative to our April stance, the
data prints that came in surprised on
the upside. The inflation reading in
April was higher than anybody in the
markets or we expected.
He, however, hoped that expectations of a normal monsoon and
improved supplies would check any
food inflation flare-up.
While Rajan kept the suspense
alive saying a decision is taken in such
cases after consultation between the
government and the incumbent, he
spelt out an ‘unfinished agenda’ in
areas like financial inclusion, containing inflation and bad loans. This was
seen by some as a hint that he may
continue.
Retail inflation accelerated to an
unexpected 5.39 per cent in April
and RBI said part of the spike was
fuel driven.
Rajan said the April surprise
makes the future trajectory of inflation somewhat more uncertain but
retained the March 2017 inflation
target at 5 per cent with an upside
bias. – PTI
Rajan worried over govt’s bad bank proposal
MUMBAI, June 7: With the government going
ahead with the idea of creating a bad bank, Reserve Bank today made its concern clear on the
ownership of such a vehicle to tide over the bad
loan menace, saying the lenders should hold a
minority stake in any stressed assets fund.
“In our view, majority ownership by banks is
probably not wise or warranted. Perhaps, some
form of minority ownership with a number of other players coming in, in addition to the government, to provide capacity, especially in management of stressed assets would be appropriate,”
RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan told reporters.
The comments came amid a confirmation from
the government that it was serious on setting up
a stressed asset fund, which in the common parlance is called a bad bank, to take care of the bad
assets. A bad bank, as is present in China for instance, buys up all bad loans from other banks.
Steel
import falls
NEW DELHI, June 7: Steel
imports fell for the second
month in May this fiscal declining by 41 per cent to 0.546
million tonnes (MT) compared
to the same month of last year.
The imports were down 17
per cent compared to that in
April 2016, the data by Steel
Ministry’s Joint Plant Committee (JPC) showed.
In April too, steel imports
were down by 15.5 per cent
year-on-year at 0.654 MT.
Steel imports are on a decline following a number of
steps by the government to
check cheap shipments of the
commodity from countries
like China amid demand slowdown. The government in
February imposed minimum
import price restrictions on
steel products to check inward
shipments.
According to the data, export of total finished steel was
up by 6 per cent to 0.38 MT
over May 2015 and was higher by 23 per cent over April
2016. – PTI
Rajan has been critical of such an entity saying
when banks themselves or government own such
an entity it creates a moral hazard, enabling banks
to continue with their reckless lending practices
as they know that they will be bailed out one day
by the system. Unconfirmed reports said SBI will
be leading to the USD 3-billion fund, which
will also have investments from private
equity funds and sovereign wealth funds,
most probably from West Asia apart from
the National Investment Fund.
Rajan today said the key issue for such a
fund will be the issue of pricing, where both
the bank selling a stressed asset and the
fund buying into it find a common ground.
This is not the first time Rajan has expressed concerns over such an arrangement. In a previous episode when there
were reports over the formation of a bad
bank this February, he had raised question marks
if a quasi-public entity will be able to solve the
problems.
It can be noted that bad loans crossed 13 per
cent as of March with reported NPAs alone being
over Rs 5.9 lakh crore.
Rajan today explained there are a variety of
stressed assets funds, which can include one giving debt support to stressed borrowers and also
buying bad assets from banks. He said bulk of the
work in this regard is being done by the government and RBI is only consulted on issues like its
structure, ownership, etc. – PTI
RBI retains retail
inflation target at 5%
Mumbai, June 7: RBI today retained January
2017 retail inflation target at 5 per cent, though
with an upward bias, amid a sharper-than-anticipated upsurge in inflationary pressures due to
food items and firming oil prices.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) based retail inflation excluding food and fuel edged up in April.
Services inflation also remained elevated on account of house rents, water charges, tuition fees
and taxi/auto fares.
However, since growth in rural wages and corporate staff costs have been modest, cost-push
factors may be subdued for the time being, RBI
Governor Raghuram Rajan said in the second bimonthly Monetary Policy Statement, 2016-17.
“The inflation surprise in the April reading
makes the future trajectory of inflation somewhat
more uncertain,” the statement said as RBI retained the inflation projections given in the April
policy statement “though with an upside bias”.
In April, RBI had projected retail inflation to be
around 5 per cent.
Rajan further said the expectations of a normal
monsoon and a reasonable spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall, along with various supply management measures and introduction of the electronic national agriculture market (e-NAM) trading
portal, “should moderate unanticipated flares of food
inflation”. “A strong monsoon, continued astute food
management, as well as steady expansion in supply capacity, especially in services, could help offset these upward pressures,” the RBI said. – PTI

MUMBAI, June 7: India’s real economy, as measured by the
Gross Value Added (GVA), is likely to expand by 7.6 per cent in
2016-17 due to improvement in farm and industry sectors, said
an RBI-sponsored survey of professional forecasters.
“Output growth, measured using GVA at basic prices, is
likely to improve gradually in 2016-17 and further in 2017-18.
Quarterly growth projections for the next five quarters indicate that growth is likely to improve,” RBI said while releasing
the survey on macro-economic indicators.
In the 40th round of survey, the forecasters expect real GVA
to increase by 7.6 per cent in 2016-17.
The survey further said ‘agriculture and allied activities’ and
services are expected to grow by 2.9 per cent and 8.8 per cent,
respectively. Industry growth forecast has been placed at 7.6
per cent.
Regarding 2017-18, the forecasters said real GVA is expected to increase by 7.8 per cent, led by growth in services by 9.2
per cent. Agriculture and allied activities and industry are expected to grow by 2.7 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively.
The long-term real GVA growth expectations remained unchanged at 8.3 per cent in the current round compared to the
previous round. The medium-term growth forecast for the
next five years increased to 8 per cent over 7.8 per cent in
previous round.
Private final consumption expenditure at current prices is
expected to increase by 10.7 per cent in 2016-17 and further by

issues that will be discussed at
the meeting (on June 10). It will
include call drop, investments,

technology allegedly used by
mobile operators, along with
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
The latest test drive conducted in Delhi by the TRAI

be using RLT beyond the levels their peers follow. RLT is
one of the parameters which
decides for how long the call
should be sustained if the signal quality drops below a certain threshold.
As per an official source,
some telecom operators are
using it for masking call drops,
resulting in higher bills for
subscribers. Besides this, telecom sector is gearing up for
one of biggest spectrum auctions of all time in which airwaves worth at least Rs 5.66

Rijiju criticises UP Govt
over law and order
SAMBHAL (UP), June 7:
The Centre today hit out at the
ruling Samajwadi Party, accusing it of not being serious
about law and order in Uttar
Pradesh, days after the Mathura clashes left 29 people dead.
“The UP Government is not
serious about law and order. It
has to be strict, but its intentions were not right. The Min-
istry of Home Affairs cooperates with the State Government and does not discriminate,” Union Minister of State
for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju
told reporters here.
He said the UP Government
should recommend a CBI
probe into the violence in Jawahar Bagh in Mathura so that
the truth comes out.
Rijiju said the Centre could
order a CBI inquiry only on the
recommendation of the State
Government, order of the court
or on the recommendation of
the NIA in a special case.
To a query on terrorist acts
in Uttar Pradesh and the connection of Al-Qaeda and ISIS
with Sambhal and other districts, he said several terror-

MATHURA, June 7: Doctors
today conducted the post-mortem of Ram Vriksha Yadav, who
had led the encroachers of Jawahar Bag and was among the 29
killed in the clash with the police,
before he was cremated here.
The police did not hand over
the body of Ram Vriksha to
one of his council members,
Tarni Kumar Gautam, who
had come to claim it after the
post-mortem was conducted
along with 18 others, including two women, police said.
The post-mortems were conducted by a team of five doctors
led by Assistant CMO Brajesh
Khanna, including Dr Bhudeo, Dr
Anup Chaudhari, Dr Mahipal
Singh and Dr Amit Agrawal.
Earlier, some saints in Vrindaban opposed the district administration’s decision to cremate
the bodies in Vrindaban, saying
they were “terrorists” and had
killed good police officers.
“We shall not allow the pious land of Vrindaban to become impious,” saints led by
Mahant Fuldol Maharaj and
Mahamandaleshwar Naval
Giri Maharaj told the police
after which the last rites were
performed in Mathura. Meanwhile, the bodies of two people have been identified by
their family members.
“One of them has been identified as Finku Chauhan, a resident
of Ambapur in Azamgarh, the
other as 40-year-old Mahesh
Jaiswal of Gay Ghat in Siddhartha
Nagar district,” they said.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Aligarh, who is heading the administrative probe,
Chandra Kant, said he would
resume his inquiry on Jawahar
Bag next week. “We shall hold
the next phase of inquiry next
week. The exact date and timings will be communicated later,” Kant added. – PTI
LUCKNOW, June 7: Bowing to the Opposition demand,
the Uttar Pradesh Government today ordered a judicial
probe into last week’s Mathura violence in which 29 people, including two police officers, were killed.
The probe will be conducted by a retired judge of the
Allahabad High Court and the
inquiry committee has been
asked to submit its report
within two months.
“A judicial probe has been
ordered into the Mathura violence. Retired Allahabad High
Court judge Imtiyaz Murtaza
will conduct the inquiry,” an official spokesman said here.
The spokesman said the inquiry panel would go into the
circumstances that led to the
incident. It has been asked to
make suggestions that would

Twenty-nine people, including two police officers, were
killed during clashes between
encroachers and the police in
Mathura last week. The violence had claimed the lives of
Superintendent of Police (City)
Mukul Dwivedi and SHO Santosh Kumar.
Political parties had been
demanding a judicial inquiry
into the violence. BJP MP from
Mathura Hema Malini had demanded a CBI inquiry into the
incident. – PTI
BJP MP demands
eligibility test for
DU admissions
NEW DELHI, June 7: BJP
MP Vijay Goel today demanded that the Delhi University
conduct a common eligibility
test for admission to undergraduate courses, besides the
cut-off criteria, to ensure only
meritorious students are given a chance.
Goel also demanded that
students from the national
capital be given some relaxation in cut-off and 85 per cent
seats be reserved for them in
18 DU colleges run by the
Delhi Government.
“Different States have their
own education boards, different courses and separate examination system. These
boards cannot be equated with
the CBSE. In some boards,
liberal marking is adopted,
whereas in others strict marking is done.
“For that purpose, the cutoff list in the DU does not ensure justice to all students.
Hence, there should be a common eligibility test to ensure
only meritorious students get
the chance,” Goel told a press
conference.
The BJP MP, who had also
met DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi yesterday over the
issue, said, “It is the right
time for the university to take
strict action against students
who resort to false practices
such as corruption, cheating,
represent false marksheets
and other malpractices for
gaining admissions.”
“It is very painful for the citizens of Delhi that their children are not able to get admission in colleges and courses of their own choice in their
home State despite getting
more than 60 per cent marks.
“We demand that at least 85
per cent seats in 18 government colleges are reserved for
them. Also, they should be
given some relaxation in cutoff for admission to non-government DU colleges,” he said.
The process for admission
to more than 60,000 seats in
various undergraduate courses is under way. The last date
for submitting applications is
June 19 and the varsity will
announce the first cut-off on
June 27. – PTI
Jogi’s exit good
riddance: Cong
NEW DELHI, June 7: The
Congress today termed the
exit of Ajit Jogi from the party
as “good riddance,” saying that
he has saved it the trouble of
expelling him and that he will
not be able to harm it.
“Jogi ceases to be a Congress Working Committee
member and chairman of the
AICC’s tribal cell after his
announcement of floating a
new party. He has saved us
the trouble of expelling
him,” party general secretary BK Hariprasad told reporters here. – PTI

Mamata upbeat over GST
KOLKATA, June 7: West
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today expressed
confidence and optimism on
rolling out of the Goods and
Services Tax (GST), even as
she raised concern over the
Smart City project, another
flagship project of the BJP-led
NDA Government.
“We are fighting for the
GST as it will help the industry with a single point tax instead of multiple layers of taxation. Our Finance Minister,
Amit Mitra, is leading the committee on the GST and I think
in the next one or two meetings, it will be resolved,” Banerjee told a gathering of business and industry chambers at
a felicitation programme here.
“I am politically opposed to
the BJP Government, but we
support programmes which
are pro-people and industry,”
she said elaborating her Government’s stand on the GST.
The GST Bill – which creates a single national sales tax to
replace several State and Central levies – has already been
approved by the Lok Sabha and
is pending in the Rajya Sabha
where the NDA Government
does not have a majority.
On the Centre according
Smart City status to Rajarhat,
she said, “The theory (of Centre’s Smart City) is wrong as
we will have to give Rs 500
crore to get Rs 500 crore.”
“The project aims to make
a building with all smart facili-
ties. We can do a lot with that
money for the benefit of the
masses,” Banerjee said.
The State Government has
handed over a concept plan to
develop Rajarhat New Town as
a ‘smart green city’ to the Union Urban Development Ministry. The plan has been prepared by the National Institute
of Smart Governance (NISG).
“Rajarhat is an oversmart
city,” she commented. “We
(Bengal Government) already
has six smart (theme) city
projects. What is Bengal
Credai (real estate body) doing?” she said and asked the
chambers of industry to iron
out any issue with the State
Finance Minister and begin the
projects. – PTI
PM greets Muslim
community on
Ramzan
NEW DELHI, June 7:
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi today greeted the Muslim community on the beginning of Ramzan and hoped the
holy month deepens the bond
of brotherhood and the spirit
of harmony in the society.
“As the holy month of Ramzan commences, I convey my
greetings to the Muslim community,” he said in an official
statement.
“May Ramzan deepen the
bond of brotherhood and the
spirit of harmony in our society,” he said.
The Prime Minister is currently in the US as part of his

Shah hits back at Rahul Gandhi
ETAH, June 7: Hitting
back at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for questioning what his party has
done in the past two years,
BJP chief Amit Shah today
said it has given the country
a Prime Minister who
speaks.
“Recently Rahul baba
asked what the BJP has done
in two years...At least we
gave a Prime Minister who
speaks, otherwise in the 10
years’ regime of the UPA,
except Soniaji and Rahul
baba, no other person heard
the voice of the PM,” he
said.
Claiming that the BJP will
get two-third majority in the
2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Shah also hit out at
the ruling Samajwadi Party,
questioning what it had done
for the people of the State in
the last four years.
“We are presenting a report card of two years of the
NDA Government, but
Akhilesh babu (Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav), you
should also tell people what
your government did in four
WATER PURIFIERS
years,” Shah told booth-level
workers in Kasganj.
Asking the people if they
get power for 24-hour power in the State, he said,
“There is no shortage of
power, the shortcoming is in
intentions. In two years, we
(NDA Government) gave
power to 9,000 villages.”
Shah alleged that in the 10
years of the UPA regime,
which was supported by the
SP and the BSP, scams worth
Rs 12 lakh crore took place.
“They left no place – whether it is sky, earth and under-
neath – where corruption did
not take place,” Shah said.
“There is not a single allegation of corruption against
the present regime,” the
BJP chief said. “People ask
as to how we will get a majority government in Uttar
Pradesh. It will become possible due to your (workers)
efforts,” he said.
He said Prime Minister
Narendra Modi has brought
a number of schemes for the
welfare of people, including
free LPG connection for BPL
families. – PTI

ilmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has
helmed hard-hitting films like Black
Friday and Gangs of Wasseypur, feels
that the Hindi film industry needs to
pull up its socks as regional cinema is “threatening” the industry and even Hollywood may
“take over” the national market with its dubbed
versions of films.
“The more regional cinema will threaten us,
Bollywood will work harder. We are threatened
from everywhere because we are more mediocre
as compared to everybody else. We have to get rid
of our mediocrity and pull up our socks and make
better films,” Kashyap told IANS in Mumbai.
“Apart from regional films, Hollywood will
definitely take over because they have started
dubbing everything. We have to start making
better content,” he added.
Regional cinema, which has always been high
on content, has also now started to be a money
spinner at the box office. With films like Sairat
(Marathi), Thithi (Kannada) and Kammatti Paadam (Malayalam) among others, it is coming into
spotlight in a big way.
Kashyap also believes that unlike Hollywood,
Bollywood is a star-driven market.
“Sometimes you need stars in the West...
(But) when the idea is bigger, you go for a newcomer. In Hollywood, they will go for a newcomer because they believe in the idea. Here,
when the idea is bigger, they go for the star
because they don’t believe in the idea... It’s a
star-driven market,” he said.
The filmmaker also doesn’t “enjoy” con-
LEISURE & LIFESTYLE
troversy.
“In this country, people can’t deal with honesty... I talk straight... I am not a person who looks
for controversy. I don’t enjoy controversy so much.
Today, everybody has an opinion, and in a sea of
opinions, it doesn’t matter,” the 43-year-old said.
Of late, Kashyap said, he has become “very
selfish”.
“I want to live my life and my focus is on
work and my family. I am 43 now and I have
seen a lot in life. My entire focus is on my own
happiness,” added the filmmaker, whose last
directorial Bombay Velvet failed to elicit the response he had expected.
Kashyap said his journey in the industry has
been “quite a roller-coaster ride”.
“It feels good and I would not like to change
anything about my journey. It’s quite satisfying
if I get to do what I want to, I am happy. I am my
own boss,” he added.
He is currently busy promoting his film Raman
Raghav 2.0, which narrates the story of serial killer Raman Raghav, who went on a murder spree in
Mumbai in the 1960s. It features Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the notorious serial-killer alongside Vicky
Kaushal, who plays a police officer.
Kashyap also admitted his fascination with the
crime genre.
“I enjoy making crime films. I, as a director,
never left that space. I am fascinated by crime,”
he said.
The psychological-thriller, presented by Reliance Entertainment and a product of Phantom
Films, is set to hit theatres on June 24. – IANS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 8, 2016
This year your vibrant personality and interesting look attract
many admirers. Your wit and kindness make you even more
desirable. You don’t need to work hard to impress anyone. When
you walk into a room, people will sense your presence even
before they actually see you. If you are single, you will be overwhelmed by the possibilities. You are likely to meet someone
special after summer, should you choose to commit. If you are
attached, the two of you express an interest in making a major
change that could involve a new home or a major trip. Half the
fun will be in the planning. LEO knows how to charm you into
doing what he or she wants.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
++++You are fired up and ready to take off at a moment’s notice.
You might be surprised by how independent you can be. Although
the planets can influence you, you are very much your own person today.
Decide what you want, then go for it. Tonight: Relaxed enough to let loose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
++++You might not always share your priorities, yet you are well
aware of them. Others don’t know the level of commitment that you
have toward your family and circle of friends. You might decide to reveal more
of your essence, if you feel it is appropriate. Tonight: Make a fun dinner.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
++++Your energy remains high. You’ll demonstrate a willingness
to adjust to others’ needs. Express your sunny disposition and
caring. Others will be delighted to share and open up. A greater sense of
belonging emerges between you and them. Tonight: Teamwork pays off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
++++You might feel more valued than you normally do. You have
struggled to develop a better sense of self, and you are starting
to feel the effect of your personal work. Others also see a difference in how
you respond. You seem transformed. Tonight: Be willing to express yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
+++++You’ll wake up feeling different and far more aware of your
surroundings. You seem to have hit your personal power days. You
make nearly everything much more doable. Clear out a project or two, but be
sure to use this period for your benefit as well. Tonight: Feel empowered.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
++++Loosen up. You might notice a tendency to take everything
personally. Slow down if you start questioning yourself or keep
hitting obstacles. Realize that you have pushed too hard and maybe need
a break. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. You will need the extra rest soon.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
++++A friendship plays a major role in what is about to happen.You
naturally gravitate toward this person. Be more open to the potential
possibilities that exist between you. Your sense of humor emerges once more
when having an important discussion. Tonight: Where the crowds are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
+++Understand that you are part of an important project in which
everyone looks up to you. You might not hear words of praise from
others, but know that they are there in some people’s minds. In any case,
recognize that others are observing. Tonight: A must appearance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
++++At this point, you could take the opportunity to move forward.
You willingly break past preconceived notions and early beliefs. As
you reassess your thinking and choices, you’ll revitalize your perspective.
Show off your new sense of well-being. Tonight: Follow the music.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
+++++Reach out to someone at a distance whom you enjoy
enormously and who provides unusual insights. A close loved one
might display some jealousy. Share your feelings more often in order to keep
the peace. This person needs your approval. Tonight: Togetherness works.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
++++Dedicate some extra time to a loved one. You’ll find the
interaction to be quite important, as it is likely to revitalize your
energy and well-being. This association is critical to your thinking and your
choices. Feel indulged, and indulge him or her in return. Tonight: Say “yes.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
+++Dive into your work, and concentrate on your priorities one at
a time. The results will give you a sense of satisfaction. You finally
might feel as if you have done more of what you have wanted to do. This
allows you to flow more easily. Tonight: Be open to a change of scenery.

Bomb attack
on police kills
11 in Istanbul
ISTANBUL, June 7: A car
bomb ripped through a police
bus near Istanbul’s historic
centre today, killing seven officers and four civilians in the
latest attack in Turkey’s biggest
city. The blast targeted a shuttle service carrying anti-riot police as it passed through Beyazit
district, close to many of the
city’s top tourist sites.
Thirty-six people were
wounded, three of them seriously, Istanbul governor Vasip
Sahin said on Turkish television.
There was no early claim of responsibility, but President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan hinted the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party
(PKK) was behind the attack.
For the PKK to target major
cities such as Istanbul “is nothing new,” he said after visiting
the injured at an Istanbul hospital. “We will fight against terrorists relentlessly to the end.”
In a statement from his office later, Erdogan also vowed
the culprits would “pay in kind
the price for the bloodshed.”
Kurdish militants have repeatedly targeted Turkey’s security forces, but Islamic State
(IS) jihadists have also staged
several attacks in Turkish cities in the past year.
Reports said the explosion
took place close to Vezneciler
metro station, within walking

Mexico
WASHINGTON, June 7: A
strong 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern
Pacific coast of Mexico today,
the US Geological Survey that
monitors quakes worldwide
reported.
The quake struck at 1051
GMT in the ocean 105 kilometres southwest of the coastal
city of Manzanillo, and 641 kilometres west of Mexico City,
the USGS reported.
There were no immediate
reports of damage. – AFP
Obama to
make his last
trip to Europe
WASHINGTON, June 7: US
President Barack Obama will
visit Poland and Spain in July in
what will likely be his final presidential trip to Europe, a continent that has often presented
more problems than opportunities during his term.
The White House said
Obama would travel to Warsaw
on July 7-9 for “his fifth and final
summit with NATO leaders,”
before making his first trip to
Spain. During his nearly eight
years in office, Obama has at
times had difficult relationships
with America’s oldest allies.
For most of his first term,
Europe was frustratingly slow
to contain sovereign debt crises that were fed by and prolonged the Great Recession.
Ties with Europe were further tested by Obama’s “pivot
to Asia” – which was widely
seen as capping a decades-long
strategic shift from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. – AFP
distance of some of the city’s
main tourist sites including the
famed Suleymaniye Mosque.
The metro station was
closed as a security precaution.
The blast reduced the police
vehicle to mangled wreckage and
windows in nearby shops were
shattered. Reports said that shots
were heard afterwards.
The attack occurred opposite
an upscale hotel favoured by
foreign tourists, the Celal Aga
Konagi Hotel, a converted Ottoman mansion.
The 16th-century Sehzade
Mosque – considered one of the
greatest masterpieces of Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan –
was also damaged by the force
of the explosion.
Television footage showed its
windows blown out and debris
littering the floor.
Loudspeakers on mosques
warned people to vacate the
area, after which a controlled
explosion was carried out on a
suspect vehicle.
French President Francois
Hollande condemned the attack
as “intolerable act of violence”
that should strengthen common
resolve to fight terrorism.
US Ambassador to Ankara
John Bass said in a Twitter message: “Such senseless violence
could never be rationalised by
any cause.” – AFP
China’s state TV links LeT to 26/11
BEIJING, June 7: In a rare rebuke to its “all

The exercises come a
month ahead of a NATO summit in Warsaw set to seal its
largest revamp since the Cold
War by deploying more troop
rotations to eastern European
members spooked by Russia’s
2014 annexation of Crimea
from Ukraine.
Moscow fiercely opposes the
NATO moves, billed by the USled alliance as part of its “deterrence and dialogue” strategy.
Anaconda, the latest in a
string of NATO manoeuvres in
the region, involves 31,000 soldiers from 24 states, including
14,000 from the US, 12,000
Poles and 1,000 from Britain,
as well from former Soviet
“Partnership for Peace” states
like Ukraine.
Polish Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz said yesterday that NATO was “checking
the alliance’s ability to defend
its eastern flank”.
The exercises are NATO’S
biggest since the Trident drills
last year involving 36,000 troops
in Italy, Spain and Portugal.
NATO has nevertheless
sought to reassure Moscow,
with Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg insisting last week:
“the Cold War is history and we
want it to stay that way.” – AFP
Researchers listen to
‘songs’ from old stars
LONDON, June 7: Scientists have captured
the sounds of some of the oldest stars in the
Milky Way that will help to determine their the
mass and age and may unveil the very early history of our galaxy.
The researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK reported the detection of
resonant acoustic oscillations of stars in ‘M4’,
one of the oldest known clusters of stars in the
galaxy, some 13 billion years old.
Using data from the NASA Kepler mission,
the team has studied the resonant oscillations of
stars using a technique called asteroseismology.
These oscillations lead to miniscule changes
or pulses in brightness, and are caused by sound
trapped inside the stars. By measuring the tones
in this ‘stellar music’, it is possible to determine
the mass and age of individual stars.
The discovery opens the door to using asteroseismology to study the very early history of
our galaxy.
“We were thrilled to be able to listen to some
of the stellar relics of the early universe,” said
Andrea Miglio, from the University of Birmingham, who led the study.
“The stars we have studied really are living
fossils from the time of the formation of our galaxy, and we now hope be able to unlock the secrets of how spiral galaxies, like our own, formed
and evolved,” said Miglio.
“The age scale of stars has so far been restricted to relatively young stars, limiting our
ability to probe the early history of our galaxy,”
said Guy Davies, from the University of Birmingham.
“In this research we have been able to prove
that asteroseismology can give precise and accurate ages for the oldest stars in the galaxy,”
Davies said.
“Just as archaeologists can reveal the past by
excavating the Earth, so we can use sound inside
the stars to perform galactic archaeology,” said
Bill Chaplin, professor at the University of Birmingham. – PTI
Indian-origin
UK minister
in sexism row
LONDON, June 7: Britain’s
senior-most Indian-origin minister, Priti Patel, was today at
the centre of a sexism row in
relation to her stand in favour
of the country’s exit from the
European Union (EU).
The UK’s employment
minister and British Prime
Minister David Cameron’s Indian Diaspora Champion has
been a very vocal supporter
of Brexit in the June 23 referendum, leading to a disparaging remark about her name
by a trade union chief in favour of remaining within the
economic bloc.
“Priti Patel, surely a contradiction in her name,” said Tim
Roache, head of the GMB union, implying that Patel’s stand
was not “pretty”.
Reacting to criticism of being
sexist by MPs, members of the
public on social media and the
official “Britain Stronger in Europe” camp distancing itself
from his remarks as having “no
place in this campaign”, he added: “Not sexist in the slightest.
Listen to the context. What she
says and thinks of workers and
rights is not pretty.”
With just 15 days to go for
the crucial vote, both camps are
on overdrive to win over those
sitting on the fence over which
way to vote.
Cameron today called an
emergency press conference
in London to counter myths he
said have been put about by the
Vote Leave campaign.
The Prime Minister said he
was concerned at seeing the
misleading statements on the
news the night before. – PTI
Scientists unlock DNA replication mystery
LONDON, June 7: Scientists have
unlocked a crucial part of the mystery
as to how our DNA can replicate and
repair itself, something which is essential for all life forms.
The new research, conducted by leading scientists at the University of Sheffield in the UK, has revealed how
branched DNA molecules are removed
from the iconic double-helical structure,
a process which scientists have been
looking to unlock for over 20 years.
“Branched DNA features in several
episodes of the X-Files as Agent Scully
suspects aliens inserted it in her blood,”
Jon Sayers, Professor of Functional
Genomics at the University of Sheffield
and lead author of the study said.
“In reality, far from being of alien origin, branched DNA is formed every day
in our bodies. It happens every time our
cells divide. These branches are essential
intermediates formed during the process of copying our DNA,” Sayers said.
Pranab Mukherjee’s visit last month and was subsequently shown by another state-run Chinese
television channel as well, officials here said.
The documentary containing vivid details of
planning and execution of the Mumbai attacks
by LeT militants caught Indian officials here by
surprise as Chinese state media shows extreme
care and caution in airing negative news about
the all-weather ally Pakistan. – PTI

NATO launches massive
war games in Poland
TORUN (Poland), June 7:
Thousands of NATO troops hit
the ground in Poland in a massive show of force today as the
alliance launched its biggest war
games in eastern Europe since
the Cold War.
The 10-day ‘Anaconda’ manoeuvres are intended to shore
up regional security in the face of
the West’s standoff with an increasingly assertive Russia. But
the Kremlin reacted angrily.
“The exercises... do not contribute to an atmosphere of
trust and security,” said President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“Unfortunately we are still wit-
The interdisciplinary team from the
University’s Departments of Infection,
Immunity and Cardiovascular Disease,
and Molecular Biology and Biotechnology captured never-before-seen snapshots of the molecular events in incredible detail.
They show
how Flap EndoNuclease enzymes (FENs)
trim branched
DNA molecules after cells
have divided.
The scientists found the
FEN threads
the free end of the branch through a
hole in the enzyme before sliding along
to the trunk where it acts like a pair of
molecular secateurs, trimming the
branch and restoring the iconic double-helix.
The team made the discovery using
the Diamond Light Source – the UK’s
synchrotron which works like a giant
microscope harnessing the power of
electrons to produce bright X-ray light
which scientists can use to study anything from fossils and jet engines to viruses
and vaccines.
Professor
Sayers said,
“The FENs analysed in the
study are very
similar to those
used in diagnostic tests for genetic diseases, bacteria and viruses.
Understanding how they work will help
to engineer better and more reliable
tests and tools for laboratory research
and hospital diagnostics labs”.
“Because DNA replication is essen-
tial for all life forms, understanding how
it works at a molecular level provides
insight into one of the most basic cellular
processes common to all life. The enzymes that carry out this process are
sometimes involved in cancer. They
have been linked to tumour progression
and mutation, so this discovery could
pave the way for better diagnostics or
new drugs.
Results of the pioneering study were
published yesterday in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology.
“We can now see the details of how
cells have evolved to tidy up after themselves as they copy their DNA, which
reduces their risk of harmful mutations.
This sort of information is fundamental
in helping us understand and maybe treat
those cells where occasionally things
do go wrong,” John Rafferty of the University of Sheffield’s Department of
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
and author on the study said. – PTI

Argentina sans Messi down Chile Panama win on Copa
SANTA CLARA (United
States), June 7: Argentina
shrugged off the injury absence of Lionel Messi to launch
their Copa America Centenario campaign with a 2-1 defeat
of defending champions Chile
here on Monday.
Goals from Angel Di Maria
and Ever Banega secured a
deserved three points for Argentina, who exacted sweet
revenge for their defeat to the
Chileans in last year’s Copa
America final.
Chile substitute Jose Fuenzalida scored an injury time consolation for the holders. The Argentines will now be firm favorites to progress to the quarterfinals as Group D winners
with games against Panama and
Bolivia to come.
Injured Argentina captain
Messi watched from the substitutes’ bench at Levi’s Stadium after failing to recover in
time from a sore back suffered
in a friendly win over Honduras last month.
But the Barcelona superstar’s
absence was barely noticeable,
with Nicolas Gaitan slotting into
Argentina’s attack and making an
instant impression, hitting the

That missed chance set the
tone for the early exchanges

which saw Argentina create
the lion’s share of opportunities without managing to find
a breakthrough goal.

America football debut
ORLANDO (Florida), June 7:
Panama striker Blas Perez scored
twice in their 2-1 win against Bolivia in a Group D match of the
Copa America Centenario football tournament.
It was Panama’s first-ever
Copa America match, played
here on Monday.
Panama looked to secure the
three points after leading 1-0 into
the second half, but Bolivia tied
the game in the 54th minute.
Juan Carlos Arce drove in a
low shot to score for Bolivia. It
was Arce’s third goal in his last
four games for his country.
Just when it seemed a draw
was certain, Perez took a cross
from Abdiel Arroyo and slotted
home the game-winner in the
87th minute.
Panama had more chances to
score than Bolivia. Panama’s Luis
Tejada missed a chance to give
his team the lead when his shot
from close range went over the
goal in the 85th minute. Panama

Perez put in a sliding kick off a

Quintero in the 11th minute.

America’s history to win on debut at the tournament and first

Messi could return
for second game,
says Martino
SANTA CLARA, (USA),
June 7: Argentina coach Gerardo Martino expects Lionel
Messi to be fit for his team’s
second Copa America Centenario fixture this week – even
if he is satisfied that the twotime world champions are adjusting to life without their injured superstar.
Martino was a happy man
after watching the Argentines
open their Group D campaign
with a convincing 2-1 win on
Monday over reigning Copa
America champions Chile, a
result that should ease their
passage into the quarterfinals.
Goals from man-of-the-match
Angel Di Maria and Ever
Banega secured the points for
Argentina, who left the injured
Messi on the substitutes bench
at Levi’s Stadium as he recuperates from an injured back.
Martino revealed the 28year-old FIFA World Player of
the Year could be fit to return
for Argentina’s second group
game against Panama at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Friday.
“He has continued working
here, he’s kicking the ball better now,” Martino said.
“We expect in four days he’ll
be in a condition to play. So
we’re thinking we will be in a
better position by then.”
Although Messi’s replacement, Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan,
performed well on the right side
of Argentina’s front three, Martino is not discounting the importance of their absent talisman.
“We’re always a better team
when Messi is in the team,”
Martino said.
“Our chances of winning the
Copa are always going to be
higher when he’s playing.”

unleashing a dipping shot from
20 yards which the Barcelona
stopper comfortably saved in the
17th minute.
In midfield meanwhile a fascinating battle for supremacy
was unfolding between Argentina’s rugged enforcer Javier
Mascherano and Chile’s combative Bayern Munich star Arturo Vidal.
Vidal did not wait long to make
22 minutes after a lightning fast
counter-attack.
Di Maria and Banega combined delightfully down the
left flank before the ball was
transferred to Napoli’s
Gonzalo Higuain whose attempt on goal was deflected
wide for a corner.
From the ensuing setpiece
Rojo directed a header just
wide of Bravo’s post as another chance went begging. Chile
came closest to breaking the
deadlock in the 30th minute,
when Alexis Sanchez burst
onto a layoff from Vidal to go
in on goal.
The Arsenal forward picked
his spot and shot low but Argentine keeper Sergio Romero was equal to the challenge,
saving brilliantly to deny Chile
an opener. The second of two
Chilean first half bookings arrived in the 44th minute,

NEW DELHI, June 7: In an
effort to scout players for the
U-16 national team presently
preparing for the 2017 FIFA
U-17 World Cup, the All India
Football Federation in collaboration with Sports Authority
of India has launched a global
scouting programme.
The programme, named the
SAI–AIFF Overseas Scouting
Project (OSP), will kick off
with on-field trials in Dubai on
June 10-11 for 2000 & 2001
born boys residing in the UAE
and nearby states/countries.
The programme, which targets boys currently holding
solely Indian passports has
been conceived by ex-India
captain and AIFF Director of
Scouting Abhishek Yadav and
will move to other countries
in the coming months.
The U-17 World Cup is
scheduled to be held in India
during September-October
2017.
An online video management platform will be launched
after the Dubai trials for eligible players residing outside
India to submit their playing
videos. The scouting team will
watch these videos and shortlisted players would be invited for a round of on-field trials
in their country of residence
or to a country in that region.
Yadav will conduct these trials along with his scouting
team with Indian U-17 head
coach Nicolai Adam having another close look at the selected players before drafting them
into the final World Cup squad.
Hailing the concept, AIFF
president Praful Patel said it’s
“essential that everyone gets
a fair chance”. – PTI
LOS ANGELES, June 7: Two
days after her stunning loss to
Garbine Muguruza in the
French Open final, Serena Williams scored a different win on
Monday, when Forbes Magazine
reported she has overtaken
Maria Sharapova as the world’s
highest-paid sportswoman.
Williams earned USD 28.9
million over the past 12 months,
the financial magazine reported
in an article posted on its website. Russian tennis star Sharapova had held the title for the
past 11 years.
Williams, 34, has dominated
her sport for more than a decade. She won her second Grand

Pele memorabilia auction kicks off
LONDON, June 7: The three-day sale of more
than 2,000 items from world football icon Pele’s
personal memorabilia kicked off on Tuesday, with
shirts, souvenirs and medals all going under the
hammer. The Brazil legend’s collection of items
from his extraordinary career, being sold in London by Los Angeles-based Julien’s Auctions, is
expected to fetch some £3 million ($4.4 million,
3.8 million euros).
The 75-year-old is the only player to have
won the World Cup three times and the standout item is a replica awarded to him of the
Jules Rimet winners’ trophy, which is estimated to fetch up to £410,000. His World Cup
winners’ medals from 1958, 1962 and 1970
are expected to net up to £140,000 each.
The sale began Tuesday with a yellow
2015 Brazil national football team jersey presented to Pele, bearing his name and the
number 10 on the back. It sold for £725, surpassing its estimate of £280 to £420.
Other early items sold included a “Pele 2015
best in the world wood plaque” (£1,225), a “Pele
2014 Brazilian Football Confederation 100th anniversary medal” (£425) and a “50 years of the
first Intercontinental Cup title plaque” (£225).
One of the highlights coming up is the ball with
which Pele scored the 1,000th goal of his career,
which auctioneers say could sell for up to £42,000.
A host of more offbeat items are also up for
grabs, including the boots the star wore in the
1981 film “Escape To Victory”, his old passports
and a lurid sombrero hat.
Those with less deep pockets can even snap
up his credential for entry to the 2012 London
Olympics for up to £490, or a ceramic beer mug
bearing his name for up to £560. A portion of the
proceeds from the sale will go to help Pequeno
Principe, the largest children’s hospital in Brazil,
which Pele said was close to his heart.
Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele is
held by many as being the greatest footballer in
history. He scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 matches,
appeared 91 times for Brazil between 1957 and
1971 and played his club football for Brazil’s FC
Santos as well as the New York Cosmos. – AFP

duced a state of emergency in the
wake of last year’s jihadist attacks in
Paris, allowing police to raid homes
and place people under house arrest
with minimal oversight.
But the challenge of monitoring
those who have returned from Syria
and Iraq, or who have
snuck into Europe using
false passports or with
the influx of refugees, has
overwhelmed the continent’s security services.
“What really worries us
above all is the guys who
are already here in Europe – guys that are already in Germany for example, that we haven’t
seen arrive, that the Germans haven’t found, who have stayed
quiet and waited,” said the official.
“We have re-established some borders, but we shouldn’t dream – borders cannot be controlled.”
A recent incident thousands of kilometres away has further darkened the
mood. On May 13, in a town north of
Baghdad, militants attacked a cafe
where Real Madrid supporters regularly meet, killing 16 people with automatic weapons and grenades.
“It’s like a postcard sent to Euro
2016 – a direct message,” said the
counter-terrorism official. “It was
maybe to scare us, in which case it
was successful.”
And tensions were raised further
on Monday, when Ukraine’s security
services said they had arrested a suspected far-right extremist French-
man with an arsenal of weapons and
explosives who was allegedly planning “15 terrorist strikes” before and
during the tournament.
“We know that Daesh is planning
new attacks and France is clearly targeted,” said the head of France’s
DGSI domestic intelligence agency, Patrick
Calvar, during a recent
parliamentary session,
using an Arabic acronym
for the Islamic State
group (IS).
Last week, the US
State Department laid
out its own concerns in
black and white.
“Euro Cup stadiums,
fan zones, and unaffiliated
entertainment venues broadcasting the
tournaments in France and across Europe represent potential targets for
terrorists,” it said in a statement.
France has mobilised a huge security detail of 90,000 police and security
guards to protect the 10 venues host-

The transfer deal was originally valued at 57.1 million euros ($64.9 million) by Barca, 40
million of which was paid to the
N&N company owned by the
player’s father.
Santos – where Neymar
started his career – received
17.1 million, 6.8 million euros
of which went to DIS.
However, Spanish judicial
authorities have estimated
the number of simultaneous
deals in the transfer amounted to at least 83.3 million euros – with the difference allegedly going to Neymar and
his family, and Santos.

his father have in the past defended themselves in the media. – AFP
Ali’s family didn’t consider
donating brain
LOUISVILLE, June 7: Muhammad Ali and his family never seriously considered donating the boxing great’s brain for
research, according to the doctor who treated him.
“Not really,” was Dr Abe
Lieberman’s answer when
he was asked Monday if submitting the brain for research
was discussed.
Lieberman said he didn’t
think boxing contributed to
Ali’s contraction of Parkinson’s
disease but he couldn’t be “a

The doctor spoke at a news
conference at the Muhammad

Barrow Neurological Institute
in Phoenix.
Lieberman was among
those who diagnosed Ali in

France fearful of ‘soft target’ Euro 2016 attack
PARIS, June 7: Despite putting unprecedented security measures in
place for Euro 2016, France remains
deeply concerned over the jihadists’
ability to strike a soft target.
Millions of foreign visitors and the
world’s press are set to descend on
the country for a month of sporting
action from Friday – creating endless nightmares for its overstretched
security services.
“From the point of view of preparation, we have done as much as possible. Everyone has been mobilised: police, paramilitaries, many soldiers,” a
senior counter-terrorism official told
AFP, on condition of anonymity.
But, he said, “to be totally honest,
I’m worried.”
President Francois Hollande acknowledged the threat on Sunday,
though he tried to put a brave face on it.
“This threat will last for a long time,
unfortunately, so we must do everything to ensure that the Euro 2016 is a
success,” he told France Inter radio.

MADRID, June 7: Spanish
prosecutors want Brazilian star
Neymar tried over fraud allegedly committed during his 2013
transfer to FC Barcelona, a judicial source said today.
Prosecutors from Spain’s
top criminal court accuse the
striker, his father, Barca’s expresident Sandro Rosell and
the club itself of concealing the
cost of the multi-million-euro
transfer from Brazilian investment fund DIS.
DIS held 40 percent of the
24-year-old’s sporting rights
when he played at Brazil’s
Santos club and has claimed it
was cheated of its real share
of the transfer due to parallel
contracts that Barcelona and
Santos allegedly used to hide
the total cost.
The case first came to light
after fans and members of Bar-
ing matches around the country. Some
of the 10,000 soldiers deployed around
France since last year’s deadly jihadist
attacks in Paris will also be used to secure the matches.
“Our objective is for the Euro
to be a big festive gathering, but
we owe the French the truth. One
hundred percent precaution does
not mean a zero percent risk,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said recently.
While fan zones and stadiums will
be under heavy guard and surveillance, a bigger risk may exist in adjoining areas.
The attacks on November 13 in Paris that killed 130 people demonstrated
that hitting random “soft targets” such
as bars and restaurants was just as effective in generating fear.
“Nothing is simpler than organising
an attack. You protect 1,000 targets, so
it’s the 1,001st target that will be hit,”
said Pascal Boniface, head of the Institute for International and Strategic Relations in Paris. – AFP
lieves Ali had the disease earlier, when he fought Larry
Holmes in 1980. Ali thought
the Holmes fight did serious
damage.
In an interview, Ali said that
if he had known “Holmes was
going to whip me and damage
my brain, I would not have
fought him. But losing to Holmes and being sick are not
important in God’s world.”
Asked Monday if Ali blamed
boxing for the disease, Lieberman said the fighter didn’t
think that way. He said Ali never regretted his boxing career
and, as a devout Muslim, believed it was God’s will that
he experience the illness and
help others to combat it.
The day before his star-studded funeral, members of Muhammad Ali’s Islamic faith will
get their chance to say a traditional goodbye to the Champ.
Bob Gunnell, a spokesman
for Ali’s family, announced
Monday that a Jenazah, a traditional Muslim funeral service, will be held at Freedom
Hall at noon Thursday. It will
be open to all.
They chose the venue both
because it seats 18,000 and because it holds historical significance for the hometown hero.
Ali fought, and won, his first
professional fight there in 1960.
Gunnell said Ali, who converted to the Islamic faith in
the 1960s, started planning his
own funeral nearly a decade
ago. Gunnell said he wanted
his services “to reflect his life
and how he lived” with a heart
open to people of all colors and
creeds. – AP

India annihilate Laos in AFC Asian Cup Play-off
SPORTS REPORTER
GUWAHATI, June 7: A spirited Indian team came from behind to snatch
a 6-1 victory against Laos at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Sarusajai here today to ensure their
progress into the next qualifying
round of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.
Having already won 1-0 in their away
leg at Vientiane, the home side was ruthless after having conceded an early goal.
It didn’t take much long for the visitors
to take the lead as Khonesavanh Sihavong
found the back of the net with ease in the
16th minute. Sitthideth Khantavong making his way through the left flank opted
for a pass to skipper Khampheng Sayavutthi whose flick found Sihavong who
ensured that his side secures the all important 1-1 aggregate.
India desperately in search of an equaliser appealed for a penalty but was turned
down in the 21st minute by referee Jansen
Foo. Sunil Chhetri was tackled to the
ground by Thenthong Phonsettha just inside the box.
Khampeng Sayavutthi decided to have
a go on the target from around 25 yards
but could only manage to the find safe
hands of Indian custodian Gurpreet Singh
Sandhu in the 27th minute.
India finally drew parity in the 43rd
minute with Jeje Lalpekhlua making
absolutely no mistake in slotting it into
the bottom corner of the net. Having
found the ball off a Jackichand Singh’s
cross, Jeje did what he is known for
doing the best.
Riding high on confidence after the
equaliser, it was Sumeet Passi who
put his side up in front for the first
time in the match with a goal in the
additional minutes of the first half. Jackichand Singh changing his position
before providing a cross in across the
face of goal was well utilised by Passi
who was left unmarked.
Coming into the second half, India dominated the proceedings right from the start.
To make things even worse for the visitors it was defender Sandesh Jhingan who
ensured the third goal in the 48th minute.
Jeje made no mistake in securing
his brace by finding the right corner
of the net with a grounded shot in the
74th minute.
It was Mohammed Rafique who went
on to score on debut through a deflection
after Sunil Chhetri lobbed one over the
marker in the 83rd minute.

important to keep things simple and stick to the
basics. I will go out there and perform to my
strengths, play cricketing shots.
“Wherever we play, the batsmen have bigger
responsibility in ODI and T20 formats, to set up
big targets and give that cushion to bowlers. We
have been in good form off late in the IPL and in the
last couple of years in Ranji Trophy and first class
cricket. We are looking out to express ourselves.
We are looking out to go out there and have fun,”
he added. – PTI
