Chennai, Aug 23:
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today
said all universities in the State and
their constituent colleges would be
linked through cloud computing and
various services would be provided
to students, teachers and research
scholars.
Making a statement under Rule 110
in the Assembly, she said the project
will be implemented within three years
at a cost of Rs 160 crore. She also said
100 students from 10 government engineering colleges will be selected and
sent to abroad institutions every year,
to get 15 days industrial training. 'This
scheme will be implemented at a cost
of Rs 1.50 crore,' she said.

crore for the shuttler as well as 1000
sq yards of land and a job offer.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao also announced an
award of Rs one crore for the Pullela
Gopichand Badminton Academy.
Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh government organised a grand function. The
Chandrababu Naidu-led government
had announced a cash reward of Rs
three crore.
Supporters of Chandrababu Naidu
suggest that while the Telangana
government may try to lay claim on
Sindhu’s success, it was their Chief
Minister’s decision to grant three
acres of land to Gopichand to set up a
badminton academy way back in 2003
that helped produced a champion.
When a reporter sought Sindhu’s
views on the bragging rights, Gopichand jumped in to try and put an
end to the regional controversy by
simply stating, ‘Well, I can only say
she (Sindhu) belongs to India.’
Gopichand said it’s great that various
governments are praising and supporting her. ‘We should celebrate the
fact that all of them (States) want to be
part of the celebration and support us.’
But for now the media is going gaga

Hype and hope to spur inaugural TNPL
C SHYAM SUNDAR
Chennai, Aug 23:
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is
a forerunner of sorts. It has spawned
T20 leagues across the country and the
Tamilnadu Premier League (TNPL) is
the latest to join the bandwagon.
The tournament has generated a lot
of hype in the run-up and is expected
to throw up new talent. The eight franchises have prepared in right earnest
after choosing rosters through a players
draft late last month. The cricketers
will be looking forward to showcase
their talent and catch the
attention of the selectors.
Despite possessing a wealth
of talent, Tamilnadu has
been underperfoming in
recent years in national-level
tournaments and the hope
is that the TNPL would help unearth
talent from the rural pockets.
Also, for many players, who have
slipped under the radar, it offers a
chance to make a comeback in the
Stating that various State, national
and international level seminars are
being conducted at Anna University,
she said a mega auditorium with
seating capacity of 5,000 will be
constructed in the varsity premises
at a cost of Rs 50 crore.
She said an international research
development and training centre will
be set up at Anna University. 'The
centre will coordinate all information
and assistance regarding patent
rights. Details about patents, information about new inventions, awareness
on incubation centres and research
for industrial growth will be done
through the centre.This will be set
up at a cost of Rs 50 crore,' she said.
The Chief Minister said an audiovisual centre, which will air lectures
of world renowned scholars, will be
lection again. The eight teams play in
a round-robin league with one match
against the others with the top four
advancing to the semis. The final will
be played at the M A Chidambaram
stadium here on 18 September.
With matches to be played at Natham
near Dindigul and in Tirunelveli, fans in
the southern parts of the State will get
an opportunity to see leading players in
action. Leading players including Dinesh
Karthik, Indian offie R Ashwin, opener
Murali Vijay are set to be the star attractions but it remains to be seen how
many matches they get to play given the
Duleep Trophy commitments.
According to R Prabhu, a die-hard
supporter of CSK, who goes around
the country to watch matches, the
TNPL will bring State’s players closer
to the fans. ‘I have many friends in

Hyderabad, Aug 23:
P V Sindhu may have won the silver
medal at the Rio Olympics and won
our hearts, but she is now stuck in
an ongoing tussle between the governments of Telangana and Andhra
Pradesh to claim her as their own.
When Sindhu and her coach Pullela
Gopichand landed at the Rajiv Gandhi
International airport on Monday, some
Ministers from both Telangana and
Andhra Pradesh were present to welcome her. The Telangana government
felicitated Sindhu and Gopichand at
Gachibowli Stadium yesterday. At the
felicitation event at the stadium, Telangana deputy chief minister Mohd.
Mahamood Ali described Sindhu as
Telangana’s pride, while Home Minister N Narasimha Reddy called her
‘Telangana Ammayi (girl)’.
Because of our Sindhu, Telangana’s
name shone in the entire world, Ali
said. The Telangana government has
ndian Marathon runner O P Jaisha has slammed
Athletics Federation of India’s (AFI) statement where
the federation said that she refused to avail energy
drinks during her marathon race at Rio Olympics 2016.
Jaisha alleged that Indian officials did not arrange for water
and energy drinks during her race in the Rio Olympics run
under scorching heat despite designated stations being
given for the country, a claim denied by Athletics Federation
of India. But since AFI has slammed her charges, Jaisha
asked why would she lie and also demanded an enquiry
for the truth to come out. Jaisha also said that there were
cameras installed everywhere so the footage can show
whether Indian officials were present or not.
Meanwhile, direct talks between India and Pakistan
would be good for them and the region, the US has said
while voicing support for dialogue at any level between
the two countries. We strongly support all efforts between
India and Pakistan that can contribute to a more stable and
prosperous region, and that includes meetings at any level
between Indian and Pakistani officials, State Department
Deputy Spokesperson Mark Toner said.
Our longstanding position has always been that India
and Pakistan stand to benefit from a normalisation of
relations and practical cooperation, and so we would be
encouraged that India and Pakistan continue to engage
in direct dialogue aimed at reducing tensions,’ he said.

What put the brakes
on Inazuma 250?
Get ready for
self-driven electric car
S BEN RAJA
The general engineering fact is
that multi-cylinder engines are more
refined and enable smooth flow of
power when compared to singlecylinder engines. That was the prime
reason why sports bikes and cars
right from yesteryear came with multicylinder engines. But with improvement in technology, manufacturers
slowly started reducing the number
of cylinders by controlling vibrations
with various other methods like introduction of counter-balancers.
But multi-cylinder engines have
their own set of drawbacks. They are
more complicated and incur higher
cost of manufacturing and more
workmanship. Moreover, they are
low on fuel efficiency. When it comes
to quarter litre segment, there were
really great machines in the ‘90s like
the CBR 250RR with a 4-cylinder 250
cc engine which was capable of making 18,000 rotations every
minute. But Honda had
to discontinue it due to
increasing cost of manufacturing and too much
emission. It

Model 3, a luxury sedan that
comes loaded with features
SRICHARAN R
You would have heard of electric
cars. How about electric super cars
or electric sedans? Tesla motors one
of the pioneers in car making are
coming out with electric supercars
and sedans. Despite customers only
seeing the pre-production prototype, a
lot of people have put down a deposit
on the car on their recent production
called the Model 3.
The Model 3 is an all electric fourdoor luxury sedan and was unveiled
earlier this year. They have plans to
deliver these cars by the end of 2017.
Model 3 is smaller than Model S.
It has glass roof that stretches from
the bottom of the windshield into the
hunched rear end. The Model 3 does
not have a hatchback boot, instead a
second storage space lies under the
bonnet. Another major reason why
Tesla makes their customer happy
because it has a full range of customisation options which will be available
when the Model 3’s configurator. Items
with which the driver can interact, beyond the central touchscreen, steering
wheel and pedals, possibly indicate
some sort of self-driving capabilities
are other major features of the cars.
Tesla’s autopilot suite of autonomous driving aids has been one of
the flagship features, on the firm’s
more expensive Model S and Model
X cars. This one allows drivers to use
automatic steering, lane changing and
accident prevention on highways and
motorways, as well as enabling self-
parking capabilities.
The Model 3 will be capable of at
least 215 miles on a single charge. A
super charger is a part of Tesla’s innovation. A single charge from these
super chargers of about 30 minutes
can cover about 170 miles. This is
very high compared the other charging
ways. Tesla is a growing network of
super charger stations placed around
key routes across the US, Europe
and Asia Pacific to allow drivers quick
charges on the go. First deliveries of
the cars are set for late 2017. But
there is a long waiting list means
many customers won’t get their cars
until 2018, especially if they order
now. We are still waiting for official
prices, but Tesla has said the Model 3
will start from around £30,000 (around
Rs 27 lakh), with the customers having to pay extra for the dual motor,
supercharger access and autopilot.
Will it suit India?
So how does these cars suit our
country. India on the whole is a bigger
automobile market and the electric
cars are yet to part of the daily life.
But Tesla has been introducing their
models in many South East Asian
countries and had a huge success.
They are also setting up Superchargers at Asia - Pacific continents.
But the roads and the traffic here
should be taken into consideration.
India is a place where power is a major
crisis. But these cars will surely reduce
air pollution and making the environment green if introduced here.

retailing at a much higher price of

When Honda introduced the CBR
250R with a single-cylinder engine
for the first time in 2011 after a
long gap of more than a decade, it
became a great success as it was
retailing with a price tag of Rs 1.8
lakh, much lower than Ninja’s price.
But enthusiasts missed the refinement and smoothness of the Ninja’s
twin-cylinder engine. Taking note of
customers’ preference for refined
engines, Suzuki developed a twincylinder bike named Inazuma GW
250, benchmarking the Ninja. The
bike was unveiled worldwide in 2013
and Suzuki launched the bike here in
India in January 2014. But just like
the Ninja, the GW 250 was priced
higher than Rs 3 lakh.
Though the bike featured an SOHC
engine, the bike was much ahead of
CBR 250R in refinement and smoothness. In addition, the bike was so

with parts shared from Suzuki’s
highly-successful 150 cc bike, Gixxer
SF. The engine is rumored to be a
single-cylinder 250 cc unit with Suzuki’s refinement technologies and,
most importantly, Suzuki’s flagship
aerodynamic technologies incorporated. Finally, the bike is going to be
wind tunnel tested at the same tunnel where the Hayabusa was tested
and it is going to undercut the Duke
390 by a big margin in price. This is
enough to trigger the adrenaline rush.

price reduction for the existing owners. With this, the Inazuma became
one of the cheapest twin-cylinder
bikes in the whole world retailing at
an on-road price of Rs 2.14 lakh.
But still, the bike didn’t go well with
the buyers and Suzuki incurred
great losses with the accumulated
stock and ultimately discontinued the
bike in December 2014.
So, now comes the question as
to what led to the demise of the
Inazuma 250?

Experts believe the reason for
Inazuma’s failure to be the lack of
awareness about the price reduction. Secondly, the bike had a bland
design. Though Suzuki benchmarked
the B-King while designing the bike,
the overall outcome was just the opposite to that of the beastly looking
B-King, Suzuki’s flagship street bike
sporting the engine of the legendary
Hayabusa. But the most important
reason for Inazuma’s failure is the
Duke 390 which has the biggest engine in the segment with a class leading power of 44 hp. The Inazuma was
not able to light a candle in front of
the Duke in performance. The Duke
not only shifted the focus of people
towards single-cylinder engines but
also created a niche for itself that is
hard to beat.
Finally, the question is has Suzuki
totally left the race to the top?
No, the management at Suzuki
learned great lessons from the
Inazuma story and are gearing up
to launch a new bike which is going

engineering and they fondly used the
tag ‘butter-smooth’ while expressing
the bike’s power delivery. The biggest advantage of the bike was its
fuel efficiency.
Despite sporting a twin-cylinder
engine, the GW 250 was more fuel
efficient than the CBR 250R. In India,
the bike came through the completely
knocked down - CKD - route and was
assembled here. Also, it became the
cheapest bike in India through the CKD
route. It is to be noted that the quality
standards of bikes that come through
CKD and CBU routes will be very high
as they follow strict quality standards.

q Suburban residents get extra security with
more than 100 cameras q Police hail move,
say it will help them check crime
Municipal
Councillor
Suresh said the
location of the
CCTV cameras
and monitors
have been
informed to the
Selaiyur police
station for their
reference
M BALASUBRAMANI
Chennai, Aug 23:
In an effort to put an end to thefts
in Rajakilpakkam, near Tambaram,
various residents welfare associations have pitched in to instal CCTV
cameras in the area.
‘In the recent past, there were
many chain-snatching incidents in
and around Rajakilpakkam which
scared the people, only after which
the resident associations decided to
instal CCTV cameras,’ said executive
member of RASNA Residents Welfare Association, Suresh, who had
also sponsored the CCTV cameras.
‘When the associations decided to
instal CCTV cameras, strategic locations were identified and 33 places
were fixed. Realising the immediate
need for the cameras, I volunteered
to bear the cost which came close to
Rs 10 lakh,’ he added.
The CCTV cameras are placed in
Gurusamy Nagar, Sangothi Amman
Koil, Durga Colony, Nisha Avenue,
Krishna
Avenue,
Radheshyam Avenue, Dallas Avenue
and Arulneri Nagar.
The footages of these cameras are monitored through computers located in eight different places.
An exclusive fibre cable was laid to
connect the cameras.
Municipal Councillor Karpagam
Suresh said the installation of the
CCTV cameras will bring a sense
of security and safety among the
residents, especially women, who are
the prime targets of chain-snatching
incidents.
Suresh said the location of the
CCTV cameras and monitors have
been informed to the Selaiyur police
station for their reference.
In a related development, the
Federation of Rajakilpakkam Resi-
dents Welfare Associations secretary
Seetharaman said there has to be
more awareness created among
the residents regarding the CCTV
cameras.
The federation is in the process of
installing 101 CCTV cameras in
key locations in Rajakilpakkam.
‘In some places, when we
went to instal the CCTV
cameras, the residents objected
to it without
r e alising
its importance. A few
residents even declined to have the monitors in their residence which
is a cause for concern,’ Seetharaman said.
The police welcomed the move of
the residents in pitching in to help
them. It may be recollected that police
identified a miscreant in Rajakilpakkam Alavattamman Koil street with
the aid of a CCTV camera installed
in an apartment complex.

Patel’s plate is full
D
r. Urjit Patel has been appointed as the 24th Governor
of the Reserve Bank of India. His appointment signals
continuity in the overall policy stance of the RBI. Dr. Patel has
been Deputy Governor for three and half years, and in that sense
is an insider. He was head of the monetary policy department,
among other things. He also chaired the committee that laid the
framework for inflation targeting. This became the predominant
mandate of the RBI, when the Government and the RBI signed
an agreement last year. That agreement gives priority to inflation
control over other objectives. As a follow up to that agreement,
this month the government notified and formally adopted the
consumer inflation (CPI) target of 4% plus, or minus 2%, for
the period till March 2021. If RBI misses the inflation target for
three consecutive quarters, then it has to explain to lawmakers as
part of the new statutory process. The CPI inflation has already
inched past the 6% mark, which has surely put RBI on full alert.
Being governor of the central bank of the third largest economy
(in size measured by purchasing power parity) is itself quite a
formidable responsibility. In addition, Dr. Patel is also filling
in the shoes of Dr. Raghuram Rajan whose tenure has been
impressive. There is Rajan’s inflation fighting record. Average
inflation in the five years prior to Rajan was about 10.4%. This
came down to an average of 6.6% in the past three-year period.
Further, the exchange rate stabilized, with the rupee down only
moderately in the past three years, as compared to the panic fall
prior to August 2013. Even the volatility in the exchange rate
movement has become subdued. Also, the benchmark interest
rate, as measured by the yield on ten-year government bond. has
come down sharply, being close to 7% now.
In the coming days the new Governor has major challenges
to tackle. Firstly is the inflation challenge. The CPI based
inflation has already crossed the red line of 6%, which is the
upper band permissible according to the new framework. Of
course, henceforth the rate will be decided by the Monetary
Policy Committee, and not by the Governor alone.The second
challenge is to tide over smoothly the large forex repayment that
is becoming due in a couple of months. The third challenge is to
guide banks to come out of their stressed assets situation. This
is an ongoing battle, and will take several years.
None of these challenges are new, nor is the incoming central
banker new to the task. Beyond these, there are the myriad daily
issues to solve and hurdles to surmount. Patel has his task cut out.

This address was later found to be

When asked about the amendment,

one address of Dawood in the listing

‘of Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi, and
not Dawood Ibrahim’, the sources said.

In evidence to show that Dawood
Ibrahim is holed up in Pakistan, a
dossier prepared by India had listed
nine residences of the underworld

he is known to frequently change his

meanwhile having close ties with

India, the largest democratic country in the world, should not have

The ties between Myanmar and
India are full of peculiarity, complexity, and versatility due to historical

‘But for Myanmar, enhancing ties

also develop its economy by using

N Korea rolls
out on-demand
TV service
SEOUL:
North Korea is rolling out an ondemand TV catch-up service, allowing people with some sort of internet
access to enjoy the highly-propagandised output of its four state-run TV
channels at their leisure.
The system, which goes by the
name ‘Manbang’ (‘Everywhere’),
functions like a sharply pared-down
Netflix with an on-demand service
menu that divides programming by
channel and genre.
Viewers can scroll through the day’s
programmes -- usually aired during
a 3:00 PM-11:00 PM window -- and
select a particular TV show to watch
at their leisure.
A programme introducing the service that aired on Korean Central Television (KCTV) last week said it was
available to any institute, company or
household that subscribes to North
Korea’s state-operated intranet.
The number of intranet subscribers in North Korea is unknown, but
KCTV said ‘hundreds’ of people had
signed up to the Manbang service in
Sinuiju -- one of three cities where the
system is being rolled out.

Chennai, Aug 23:
Turkey has proposed to India
commencement of talks for a ‘Comprehensive Economic Partnership

such a pact will enhance bilateral
economic and commercial ties.
SUPPORT SYSTEM
Observing that India was Turkey’s second largest trading partner
in the Asia-Pacific region after China, Turkish Foreign Minister

a slight decrease in 2015. While
Turkish firms’ investment in India
has risen to $212 million in 2015,
India’s direct investment in Turkey
stands at $110 million.
The Minister noted that a Joint

and it had recommended the
Agreement.

RBI launches Sept round
of inflation survey
Mumbai, Aug 23 (PTI):
The Reserve Bank Monday announced the launch of the September
round of inflation expectations survey
of households covering 18 cities across
the country. Inflation is a key factor
which the central bank factors in monetary policy. RBI announces monetary
policy review every two months and
next is scheduled on 4 October.
Inflation expectations are subjective
assessments of households covered
in the survey and are based on households’ individual consumption baskets. The survey has been launched
in -- Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal,
Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad,
Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai,
Nagpur, Patna, Raipur, Ranchi and
Thiruvananthapuram.
The survey, RBI said, seeks ‘qualitative responses’ from households on
price changes (general prices as well
as prices of specific product groups)
in the next three months as well as in
the next one year and quantitative responses on current, three-month ahead
and one-year ahead inflation rates.

experience in equipment designing
and manufacturing for thermal power
applications puts us in a leading position to enhance efficiency and offer
cleaner power-generation solutions to
customers in India. With this shipment
we embark on our local manufacturing - from procurement to testing and
shipping, for customers in India and
the neighboring countries’.
To cater to the increasing energy
demand, the Government’s Twelfth
Five Year Plan for 2012 to 2017 aims
at boosting generating capacity at an
average annual rate of 17.7 GW, with
80 per cent of the increase in thermal
power generation.
Govt urges
Urjit Patel to ‘rise
to occasion’
New Delhi, Aug 23 (PTI):
The government on Monday hoped
that Governor-designate Urjit Patel
will ‘rise to the occasion’ and use
his experience of handling monetary
policy at RBI to maintain a balance between inflation and
economic growth.
Patel, who is currently Deputy Governor at
the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI), will take
over the top job at the
central bank when incumbent Raghuram Rajan demits
office on 4 September after completing
his term.
‘He (Patel) will hopefully control
inflation rate since he has experience
of monetary policy’, Minister of State
for Finance Arjun Ram Meghwal said.
He further said, ‘Patel’s appointment
is a right decision and in the interest
of the country’.
Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das, who himself was said to
be in fray for the top post at the apex
bank, welcomed the appointment of
Patel as the 24th RBI Governor.

background in other fields, I am sure
he will rise to the occasion and he
will keep in mind the requirements of
monetary policy and the inflation target
that has now been laid out in the
RBI Act’, he said.
The government has set
an inflation target of four
per cent, plus or minus two
per cent, while consumer
price inflation soared to
6.07 per cent in July.
RBI’s next monetary policy
review is due on 4 October.
‘He will also balance the requirement of growth which is in fact the
mandate as per the amended RBI
Act’, Das said.
Stating that the job of the RBI
governor is not just monetary
policy, Das said the central bank
head is also the regulator of banks
and NBFCs.
‘In that role he has to ensure smooth
functioning of financial sector and he
also has to look into flow of credit to
various sectors in particular the requirement of agriculture and MSME
sectors’, he said.
Noting that global economic condition
continues to remain
weak, he said India has
established itself firmly
as the fastest growing
economy with a
growth rate of 7.3 per
cent in 2015
to overcome infrastructure bottlenecks, improve the quality of our
labour force by educating and skilling
them appropriately, and ensure better
health standards of the population’,
he said.
The President also said recent initiatives like ‘Make in India’, improving
the ease of doing business, Invest
India, Skilling India and Start-up India
aim to address some of these issues
and boost our capacity for growth.
Noting that global economic condition continues to remain weak, he
said India has established itself firmly
as the fastest growing economy with
a growth rate of 7.3 per cent in 2015.
‘We can say confidently that our
economy has revived and our prospects are brighter as we are poised
to grow at 7.5 per cent in both 2016
and 2017’, Mukherjee said.
Noting that food prices remained
within comfortable levels in the early
months of this year, the President
warned that ‘we must remain alert as
they have started to rise lately’.
He expressed satisfaction at India’s
foreign exchange reserves which
today stand at $365 billion.
Mukherjee hoped that India’s food
grains production will surpass the
record of 265 million tonnes achieved
2013-14.
He said that India has initiated
the Make in India programme in 25
sectors of the economy, where both
national and multinational companies
have been invited.
THE WORLD & WE
GOING JINGOISTIC
WITH GERMANY
CHINA & ITS
CHANCES
New Delhi, Aug 23 (PTI):
Deepening collaboration on skill development,
India and Germany on Monday signed an agreement
that aims to foster conditions that will help create
and improve workplace-based vocational training
in India’s industrial clusters.
Under the pact, German technical assistance will
be used to enhance industry institute partnerships
between Indian and German organizations, build
capacity of local training institutions and foster
industry linkages which will help adapt elements
of the German dual system into the Indian context.
‘We in India recognize the fact that Germany’s
dual system is widely acclaimed as one of the
best in the world, noted for its close linkages
between industry and training institutions. This
provides a competitive edge to German industry
and businesses. We need to adapt elements of
the German VET system to the Indian context to
ensure that skill training in India is closely aligned
with the requirements of industry’, Union Skill
Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Rajiv
Pratap Rudy said.
The agreement was signed between the Ministry
of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE)
and (German International Cooperation (GIZ) and
will initiate a new project focused on adapting elements of the German dual system in select industrial
clusters in India.
‘In the last couple of months we (India) have
formally adopted the German system of dual
education. For the first time we will have ITIs (industrial training institutes) in this country where
there will be a model of three months of academic
input and after that the trainee will move to the
industry where he will work as an apprentice for
the remaining nine months’, Secretary in the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship
Rohit Nandan said.
The project will run for three years starting August
2016 with a budget of EUR 3,000,000 (Rs 22.6 crore)
- made available by the German Government and
aims to foster conditions which will help create and
improve cooperative workplace-based vocational
training in India’s industrial clusters.
Beijing, Aug 23 (PTI):
India should shed its concerns over pollution and allow Chinese industries to shift
their excess capacity to it which would be
benificial to both countries, state media here
said Monday.
‘India may need to carefully think about whether
it wants to resist or embrace the migration of
China’s production capacity, which allegedly
involves some investment in heavy polluting industries’, an article said.
Referring to reports of China Railway Rolling
Stock Corporation (CRRC) starting operations at
its joint venture plant in Haryana to manufacture
and repair locomotives, it said, ‘the partnership
is hardly surprising seeing as India has one of
the world’s largest railway network, creating
a huge demand for engines and other railway
equipment’.
‘China’s train makers have an advanced production capacity and have been actively looking for
cooperation ties in the world. What is odd is that the
cooperation between the between the two countries
has only just now come about’, it said.
The India plant will repair and manufacture railway
locomotive engines.
An article said, ‘there have been some obstacles restricting Chinese enterprises’ access
into India, where some people worry that
boosting India-China production capacity ties
may also bring heavy polluting production into
the country’.
‘In fact, a considerable part of China’s excess production capacity could be conductive
in boosting the local economy if they can be
transported to India. A large number of Chinese
manufacturers have acquired far more advanced
technology than some local Indian firms despite
those Chinese enterprises suffered problems
of overcapacity domestically’, the article said.
‘India may want to consider offering more opportunities for Chinese manufacturers to invest
in the country as both countries could enjoy
great potential in production capacity cooperation’, it said.

Saha, Ashwin biggest
gains of WI series: Kohli
Port of Spain, Aug 23 (PTI):
India skipper Virat Kohli says the
much improved batting performance by the lower order batsmen,
particularly wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, was the biggest gain of
the West Indies series, which they
won 2-0.
Kohli said the team is satisfied with
the outcome of the series as the
fourth Test ended in a draw after wet
outfield led to abandonment of the
match at the Queen’s Park Oval.
‘It’s been a pretty good tour for us.
We had come here looking to improve
in a few areas and we have done that.
For me, the biggest positive is Wriddhiman Saha getting runs in the lower
order, plus R Ashwin coming good at
no.6,’ Kohli said.
Both Saha and Ashwin had scored
a century each in the third Test to
help India recover from the top-order
collapse in the first innings.
‘I hope we can keep on improving
this aspect of our game because
there are positions, which matter a
lot in Test cricket. Whenever teams
have done consistently well in Test
cricket, their lower order has always
contributed. So, those were the areas
for us to solidify,’ Kohli said.
Only 22 overs were bowled in the
rain-affected Test, but India’s team
selection was once again a surprise.
Both Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar
Pujara were included in the playing
eleven as the visitors went in with
four bowlers for

decision.

Sponsors dump Lochte
after Rio scandal
Washington, Aug 23 (AFP):
Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte lost four sponsorship deals Monday -- a major financial
hit for the embattled gold medalist stemming from his spurious claim of being robbed at
gunpoint in Rio, a story later discredited by Brazilian police.
Global swimwear brand Speedo and US fashion label Ralph Lauren topped the list of
companies that ended their relationships with the 32-year-old Lochte, with the former noting
his actions had not reflected the ‘values’ it wished to promote.
Mattress company Airweave and Syneron Candela, the parent company for a laser hair
removal system that Lochte promoted, quickly followed suit. Lochte claimed he and three of
his teammates -- all of them gold medal winners in Rio -- were mugged by robbers pretending
to be police after a night out, but the story quickly unraveled as new witness testimony and
surveillance video surfaced. Police said the group had been detained over the vandalisation
of a gas station bathroom, apparently led by a drunken Lochte -- a major embarrassment
for Team USA, an Olympic swimming powerhouse.

Greater Noida, Aug 23 (PTI):
India Red captain Yuvraj Singh is ‘very excited’
about the first ever first-class match in India
scheduled to be played with pink ball under floodlights, terming it as an ‘exciting new challenge.’
‘It will be exciting and we expect pink ball to
swing. Unless we are out there in the middle, it
will be difficult to give a feedback. This match will
also serve as a comeback opportunity for me as
well as (Suresh) Raina. We all saw the Australia
versus New Zealand encounter and how much
the ball swung,’ Yuvraj said ahead of the Duleep

Rival captain Raina on his part said that this new

has had the experience of playing a Ranji Trophy
game against Baroda.
Sania takes No.1
doubles ranking
Cincinnati, Aug 23:
India’s Sania Mirza took sole possession of the WTA doubles
number one ranking after teaming up with Barbora Strycova to
beat former partner Martina Hingis and Coco Vandeweghe 7-5,
6-4 in Sunday’s Cincinnati final.
The 29-year-old will move alone to the top of the rankings,
after her and Swiss Hingis ended their highly successful
partnership last month as joint number ones.
The dominant pairing claimed 14 titles, including three
Grand Slams.
Hingis came to Cincinnati off the back of winning
Olympics silver for Switzerland with Timea Bacsinszky in Rio de Janeiro.
In the final on Sunday, Hingis and American
Vandeweghe saw a 5-1 lead in the opening
set evaporate, before Sania and the Czech
Republic’s Strycova hung in during the
second to close out a straight-sets victory.

Flood risk has not receded: Audit
Arappor Iyakkam’s report finds Chennai still unprepared for monsoon
NGO to hold a public hearing on city’s 2015 deluge
S Ben Raja
Chennai, Aug 23:
The audit report released by Arappor Iyakkam, an NGO in the city,
reveals many localities of Chennai
are flood-prone. Villivakkam SIDCO
Nagar, Pallikaranai, Mugalivakkam,
Pallavaram, Chrompet and Mudichur
were one of the worst-affected areas
in the December deluge and the
report signified that the areas, even
after almost a year, are not ready for
the monsoon.
The volunteers of Arappor Iyakkam
say that the lack of preparation for
the northeast monsoon could have
an impact on the locality.
The audit report was carried out by
the organisation in association with
Magasool, a farmers association. It
is learnt that the farmers were the
crucial source of data as they were
the most affected in the floods.
Releasing the audit report on Chennai waterways, titled ‘Is Chennai
ready to face the upcoming monsoon?’ the members highlighted the
background to the flooding of areas
including Mudichur, Pallavaram and
other parts in the city.
Speaking to News Today, secretary
of Arappor Iyakkam, M S Chandra
Mohan, said, ‘Preliminary research on
waterways with GIS mapping of the
waterbodies from 1954 till now has
clearly shown the level of indiscriminate destruction of waterbodies. A lot
of lakes in Villivakkam and Ambattur
have shrunk by more than 80 per cent
over the last 50 years. The elevation

Neyveli, Aug 23:
Behavioural attitude of an individual
alone will reduce accidents rather
than enforcing laws, said Deputy
Director of Mines Safety, Chennai
Region, Shyam Mishra.
Participating in the valedictory function of Mines Safety Week at Lignite
Hall, Neyveli on Monday, he said
cell phone menace has increased
the number of accidents and people
succumbed to injuries when they use
mobile phones at work spot.
NLC executive director (Mines) S A
Fateh Khalid said that most of the accidents are caused only due to human
failures, though a full-fledged safety
management system is in existence.
The company is practising Integrated
Risk Management System approach
and is consistently making efforts to
implement Professor R M Bhattacharya’s recommendations for safety in
mines, he said.
Safety Week-2016 was observed by
NLC India Ltd at Neyveli from
8 to 21 August. Various units of
NLC had put up stalls showcasing the
safety models to be adopted while at
work and innovative steps to improve
the safety management systems.

recommendation of the safety inspection team for adoption of innovative
system in Mine II, Conveyor and Electrical Mines Division was awarded for
its new innovation. Special award was
also given to NLC general hospital for

Chennai, Aug 23:
The Madras High Court today upheld the
lower court order, convicting and sentence
three persons to life imprisonment in the
woman techie Uma Maheswari rape and
murder case of February 2014.
Delivering the verdict, a bench comprising
Justice S Nagamuthu and Justice V Bharathidasan upheld the order of the Chengalpet
Mahila Court convicting Uttam Mandal, Ram
Mandal and Ujjal Mandal, and sentencing them
to the life.
The court also dismissed the appeals filed
by the trio, challenging the lower court order.
The Bench also directed the Kancheepuram
District Superintendent Police to pay of compensation of Rs two lakhs to the family of Uma
Maheswari in four months.
It may be recalled that the mahila court in
Chengalpet had in November 2014, sentenced
all the three accused in the kidnap, rape and
murder of a TCS employee to life imprisonment.
Uma Maheswari, who was working at TCS’s
office at SIPCOT IT Park
in Siruseri on the outskirts of Chennai, went
missing on 13 February, 2014 at Kelambakkam.
She had left the office on that night and never
returned home. She was found raped and
murdered by the three migrant workers and her
decomposed body was recovered from nearby
bushes in the IT Park, nine days later on 22
February.
The investigation
into the case was
shifted from the local police to the
Crime Branch-CID
wing of the State
police, which had
solved this challenging case through scientific investigations.
For the first time in India, the CB-CID police
also used a drone to investigate the case.
With the help of the drone and MIT research
scholars, police personnel traced her body from
bushes inside the IT park.
After recovering various evidences like the
identity card of the deceased, a knife, footwear
and a bag with Sodexo coupons, the CB-CID
police analysed the CCTV footages recorded
in and around the scene of crime and found
that three people, one covering his face with a
kerchief, entering an ATM kiosk on the day Uma
Maheswari went missing. He withdrew money
using Maheswari’s stolen debit card. After
analysing mobile call records, they arrested
Ram and Uttam who confessed to their crime.
They also revealed another accused, Ujjal
Mandal, had left for Kolkata by Howrah Mail. A
police team went to Kolkata and arrested Ujjal
from the running train on 26 February, before
it reached Kolkata. He also confessed to his
involvement in the murder.

New Delhi, Aug 23:
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has put
out a clarification after its
chief Mohan Bhagwat was
reportedly misquoted by
the media for his comment
asking what was stopping
Hindus from having more
children.
In a statement, RSS
leader Manmohan Vaidya
broke it down to three short
pointers:
‘What Mr Bhagwat did not
say
- Hindus should proMohan Bhagwat
duce more children. What
he actually said - which law
stops you from producing
more children? What he
intended to say - there should be a common law about
population growth applicable to all.’
Bhagwat made the comment at a meeting in Agra on
Sunday. Which law says that the population of Hindus
should not rise? What is stopping them when the population of others is rising? The issue is not related to the
system. It is because the social environment is like this,
the RSS chief had said, addressing some 2,000 couples.
He was responding to a question comparing the rates
of growth of Hindus and Muslims in the country.
‘Sports is key

Chennai, Aug 23:
Participation in sports is an key for an healthy life, but it is
neglected, said the Tamilnadu basketball player Vineeth
Revi Mathew, who is also part of the Indian squad.
He was speaking at the 67th year Medial Day celebrations of Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust at the Bala Mandir
German Hall here. He quoted a recent survey and said
that only 40 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women
take part in sports.
‘The scenario has changed tremendously where sportsman are being recognised which is a positive sign,’ he
said.
He also advised that students should balance studies
and sports simultaneously so that they can excel both in
sports and career.
Former national tennis champion and director of Transform Sports Media & Entertainment Pvt Ltd Vikramadithya
Menon said, ‘Education and sports go hand in hand.
Sports helps one maintain his/her health’.
One of the directors of Transform Sports Media & Entertainment Arun Karthik emphasised the need to balance
education and sports. He also said, ‘Through games one
can learn about confidence, team spirit, inspiration and
essential qualities of a good leader’.
The founder of Victory Foundations, Thanigaivelu said,
‘Playing sports keep one’s organ energised, refreshed
and fit. Ageing process gets delayed and health detoriation will be slow when one is actively involved in sports.’

For Chennai, the experienced
skipper Rajagopal Sathish, who has
turned out for Mumbai Indians in
the IPL, has to lead the front as
he is at the helm of a rather callow
squad.
Known for his thrifty bowling and
big-hitting abilities, Sathish has a
huge task at hand to marshal the
resources at his disposal if the
Super Gillies need to make an
impression in the first-ever TNPL.
Known for his fielding prowess
and skill-sets for limited overs
version, Sathish performed
creditably in the previous season and briefly
led the State side too.
The Chennai franchise
includes a bunch of
talented youngsters and
experienced players and
will have to perform as a
unit to pull off wins and
make a mark.
On the other hand, Tuti
Patriots looks the team
to beat as the tournament gets ready to takeoff, with probably the
most balanced side on
paper. If Dinesh Karthik
can score runs consistently, he can inspire the
group that promises a lot.

Tomorrow’s

CHENNAI:
The opening match of the inaugural
Tamilnadu Premier League (TNPL)
will see the local outfit - Chennai
Super Gillies take on a strong Albert
Tuti Patriots, led by former Indian
stumper Dinesh Karthik at the M A
Chidambaram stadium on Wednesday.
The tourney, launched by TNCA in
an effort to unearth new talent from
the districts, is expected to help
identify more players for selection for
the State.
On paper, the Tuticorin franchise
boasts of a formidable side which includes former Indian players Dinesh
Karthik, L Balaji and fast-improving
Washington Sundar, who represented the country in the Under-19 World
Cup recently. Dinesh Karthik, who
has been out of the national side for
a while now despite some impressive performances in the domestic
tournaments and IPL, will be eager
to pull his weight for the team. Along
with Abhinav, he forms a strong
batting unit and the onus would be
on the two along with Washington
Sundar to rack up the runs while
Balaji, who has taken on the role of
player-coach in recent times would
be expected to guide the bowling
line-up that includes the promising
Aswin Crist and Aushik Srinivas.
