Conflict pitch for elite panel

t was assumed that the Supreme Court would give clarifications on the conflict clause but the matter didn't come up for hearing on Wednesday. The apex court has now deferred the hearing to December 4.The apex council of the Board will meet in Mumbai on Saturday, the eve of the AGM, and that meeting is expected to throw some light on the issue.Sourav Ganguly, the Board president, had himself been a part of the CAC along with Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman. After the trio refused to be part of the process for selecting the women's coach last year, they were replaced by Kapil Dev, Anshuman Gaekwad and Shantha Rangaswamy.All three resigned once conflict of interest complaints surfaced against them.However, there's a move to reinstate Sachin and Laxman without disturbing their current commitments."The CAC is an elite panel and has to include stalwarts. Sachin and Laxman haven't been approached yet but they obviously wouldn't wish to get embroiled in fresh controversies. Only once they get the 'all clear' from the Board will they give their consent," said someone in the know of things.This could even mean bringing about certain changes to the conflict of interest clause."This is a very delicate issue. As it is, the CAC consists honorary members. You cannot expect them to sacrifice their livelihood for an honorary post," said a Board member."Even the Committee of Administrators had recommended changes to the conflict of interest clause in the constitution. We have to go back to the Supreme Court on the practical difficulties faced."A section in the Board is also of the view that the members could authorise Sourav to choose the selectors."We've never had a former captain as Board president in the past several decades. He is the best man to handle such things when there's a problem. The AGM can authorise him to form the selection committee," a member said.There's another school of thought that with no team selection due immediately, the Board could wait for the Supreme Court hearing on December 4 and then decide on the formation of the CAC and the subsequent naming of the selectors.

Flipkart will launch Nokia branded Smart TVs on December 5

Flipkart also has smart TVs under its own MarQ TV brand. The invite does not reveal much about the products, the company will be launching at the event. It only reveals the date and the venue. Flipkart has already announced that the Nokia branded smart TVs will be made in India by them and will sell exclusively on the eCommerce platform. Apart from this we already know that the aforementioned Nokia branded smart TVs will come with JBL powered audio systems. Other than this details are scarce and will be revealed at the time of the launch. Nokia smartphones are about experience, less about specs: HMD Global India head This is a similar arrangement as to the one Nokia has entered in with HMD Global for its smartphones. Nokia will be licensing its name to Flipkart for manufacturing and selling its TVs for a fee. This will be a comeback for Nokia in the television market, to recall, the company did foray into the line of widescreen TVs back in the mid-90s, however, its efforts did not manage to go mainstream. Nokia is not the only brand from the mobile world, which is jumping into the smart TV business. OnePlus introduced its OnePlus TV Q1 Pro and TV Q1 back in September. Motorola also partnered with Flipkart to allow the use of its brand name for Smart TVs. One smartphone player which has done exceedingly well in the Smart TV space in India is Xiaomi, which has managed to capture a big chunk of the market in India thanks to its aggressive prices and back-to-back launches. With regard to Nokia TVs, Flipkart could introduce a number of Smart TVs at different prices and screen sizes, similar to how it did with Motorola.

Trump visits Afghanistan, says he reopened talks with Taliban

he scope and prospects of any renewed negotiations remained unclear, and White House officials gave few details beyond Trump's sudden revelation. On the flight to Afghanistan, Stephanie Grisham, the White House press secretary, had insisted that the secret trip was "truly about Thanksgiving and supporting the troops" and "nothing about the peace process" with the Taliban.The Taliban made no official comment immediately after the late-night visit and Ghani said little afterward about any peace talks.But while the Afghan government has long demanded that the Taliban agree to a cease-fire, no evidence has emerged that the group was willing to grant one. Instead, it has said it would discuss the possibility in negotiations with Afghanistan's political leaders over the future of the country once the Americans agree to leave.Trump carried out the traditional role of feeding turkey and mashed potatoes to troops in fatigues, then dined, mingled and posed for photographs before delivering remarks celebrating the US military before about 1,500 troops in an aircraft hangar.But his visit also had an important political dimension. Trump, who angrily called off talks with the Taliban in September just as the sides appeared close to an accord, is searching for foreign policy achievements he can celebrate on the campaign trail over the next year.

Karvy ban review

arvy had moved the SAT on Thursday challenging the curbs on using PoAs, and Friday's order by the two-members SAT bench is seen as an interim relief for Karvy. At the hearing on Friday, Karvy said not being able to use PoAs was creating problems in settling trades with the clearing houses and, hence, it became necessary to seek clarifications from the regulator. "As clients of Karvy are trading online, they are unable to transfer the securities from the clients' demat accounts to the pool account for the purpose of clearing the trades," the SAT noted. However, the counsel appearing for Sebi said they had serious apprehension in allowing the plea of the brokerage as it might lead to further misuse of the power of attorney given to them by their clients.SAT also directed Sebi to consider Karvy's requests made in three letters to the regulator since the order was passed.

Newborn deaths in UP trigger blame game

This suggests a neonatal mortality rate of 492 per 1,000 births, against a state average of 49 per 1,000 and a national average of 25 per 1,000, health department officials said.Senior officials have been quick to blame the Asha (Accredited Social Health Activist) workers of the Dhaurahra, Bijua, Mohammadi, Ramiyabehar and Bankeganj blocks of Lakhimpur Kheri, about 130km north of Lucknow."It's the responsibility of Asha workers (under the central government's Home-Based Newborn Care programme) to regularly visit newborns' homes every alternate day for four weeks in case of institutional delivery and six weeks in case of home-based delivery," a health directorate official said on the condition of anonymity."It seems they didn't make the visits. We'll soon act against them for dereliction of duty."Asha workers --- trained community health workers aged 25 to 45 and educated at least up to Class X --- are appointed under the National Rural Health Mission. Apart from providing basic medical help, they are tasked with imparting health awareness and guidance. They are expected to advise institutional delivery but help with home-based delivery if a family chooses that option.Arvind Singh, chief development officer of Lakhimpur Kheri, said health department officials who are supposed to monitor Asha workers' functioning were to blame too."The implementation of the Home-Based Newborn Care programme has been very poor in the district. Asha workers and health department officials have been insensitive towards the care of the newborn, resulting in the death of many babies," he said."We have convened a meeting of the department on December 4 to fix responsibility," he said.An Asha worker from Lakhimpur Kheri told The Telegraph the government denied them the required supplies, burdened them with errands that prevented them carrying out their assigned duties --- and then blamed them when a health programme failed."If even a government clerk visits a local health department office or anganwadi centre, we are expected to be there to serve them tea, breakfast or lunch," she said, asking not to be named."We are also expected to support NGO officials whenever they visit our area, apart from training the auxiliary midwives. And then we have to visit the home of every newborn every alternate day. And we are punished for any lapse in any of these tasks."She said the government's chronic failure to equip the Asha workers with medical supplies made their home visits almost meaningless and exposed them to villagers' anger."We become the target of the families, who hold us responsible for any tragedy at their homes. They don't question the government, which rarely provides us the medicines and other stuff that the newborns and their mothers need. The villagers accuse us of selling these supplies in the market," she said.The health directorate official, however, said: "Some systemic problems certainly exist but that doesn't mean the Asha workers are honest and the department is corrupt. As recently as September, 30 Asha workers of Lakhimpur Kheri were suspended when they were found working at private nursing homes."He added: "Most Asha workers are appointed on the recommendation of politicians."In Uttar Pradesh, Asha workers receive a monthly pay of Rs 2,000 apart from Rs 200 for vaccinating a mother and her baby and Rs 150 for attending a block-level meeting. They are paid Rs 150 for each meeting of pregnant women they hold in their village.In Kerala, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Asha workers receive a monthly salary of Rs 10,000 besides other benefits for participating in vaccination programmes and maintaining records. Kerala also gives retired Asha workers a pension.The September-November survey was conducted across five districts of Uttar Pradesh but apart from five of Lakhimpur Kheri's 15 blocks, the rest of these areas reflected normal neonatal mortality rates, officials said.

Digital media under government scanner

nder the extant law, only print newspapers are required to follow this code."The publishers of news on digital media shall register themselves with the Registrar of Newspapers of India in such manner and giving such particulars as may be prescribed," reads part VIII of the proposed bill.The bill proposes cancellation of such registration, if, among other reasons, the "publisher" is found to be convicted of any "terrorist act" or "unlawful activity", or for doing anything against the "security of the state".The bill doesn't spell out how grave an offence must be to come under the ambit of "unlawful activity" or jeopardising the "security of the state".While the bill seeks to control the web space, it fails to address the problems of hate speech, fake news, and incendiary content which proliferate on digital media.Siddharth Varadarajan of The Wire was fairly sure that there would be repercussions to these measures. "There's no reason to add to the layer of requirements to the registration for digital news given there are literally hundreds of thousands of digital platforms. And the way that the draft will define the digital news, this would include your mother's Facebook page, your uncle's blog, websites in different languages, a tweet trend on twitter, anything that is news oriented and conveyed digitally," he told Telegraph Online.Varadarajan said that the government was trying to create some kind of an obstacle. "This is a way of controlling and regulating... No democratic country in the world insists on this kind of registration of digital news platforms. The entire move is mala fide," he said.A media law expert The Telegraph Online spoke to expressed concern at the motive behind the provision, prophesying that such a measure would only render digital media "toothless"."Here everything is being done in the name of national interest or nationalism or something like that. Elsewhere, it would be for things to protect privacy or individual rights."The focus is altogether wrong. If it is about regulating the digital media, it should be talked about in terms of curbing the hate speech and propaganda and things like that, for which digital media is used more, instead of for the kind of things it is now being proposed. It is bound to serve more for other interests than public interest," said the central university professor requesting anonymity.The academic cited instances of arresting of people on the basis of their cyber activities as a form of harassment. "It will be people of certain stripes, human rights champions largely, who will face the most heat if the provision comes into force."The professor termed the provision regressive and as running counter to prevailing sentiments across the western democracies, where the call for liberalizing digital media is only increasing.Significantly, a day before the draft was revealed in the public domain for suggestions, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the internet, launched an initiative to emancipate the web and give more power to the people. "Contract for Web", endorsed by 80 corporations, proposed nine principles to that end, at least three of which are meant to require governments' support.One such principle, "keep all of the internet available, all of the time" already stands violated by the government of India, which has snapped internet connections in Kashmir for close to four months now.Similarly, the credentials of India as a democracy with robust digital privacy norms was somewhat undermined when it was accused of spying on its citizens by some of the members of Parliaments on Thursday.Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Congress MP Digvijaya Singh levelled a charge of spying on people, including politicians and judges, against the current government.The charge came in the wake of a covert snooping exercise, unearthed when Whatsapp informed the Indian government that Israeli-made spyware Pegasus was used against 121 Indians between April and May to breach their private communication on phone.The spyware is made by NSO, an Israeli cyber surveillance firm, which claims to sells it only to governments. The Indian government has not spelled out whether it bought the spyware from NSO.

Rijiju congratulated the winners and lauded the spirit of the participants. He said that we are moving forward with new thinking for sports and for their promotion, the Government of India has started the "Khelo India programme" in 2016-17. Under the programme, the government is planning to organise four types of games next year, namely university games, youth games, school games and indigenous games, the Minister said. Rijiju said the government is vociferous in improving the conditions of sports and the economic status of the sportsperson in the country. The Guest of Honour, Anoop Kumar, Dronacharya Awardee in Boxing, said boxing is a wonderful science of self-defence. Day by day the government is promoting sports and providing a platform for sports. Technique or tactics, fitness and fighting spirit are essential to excel in any sport. For the year 2019-20, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, District Karnal, Haryana was selected as a venue for the organisation of 65th SGFI National Boxing Championship, under category-U14(boys).

Terror returns to London Bridge in 'Black Friday' attack

Khan said members of the public risked their own safety to try to disarm the suspect. "They are the best of us," he told reporters. The events came less than two weeks before an election at which Prime Minister Boris Johnson hopes to win a majority to enable him to take Britain out of the European Union. The prime minister cut short a visit to his constituency in northwest London to return to his Downing Street office for a briefing by the police. Both Johnson's Conservatives and the main opposition Labour party have both pledged to put at least 20,000 more officers on the streets. But Britain's impending Brexit has raised questions about the extent of continued cooperation with Europe on security and intelligence matters. New European Council President Charles Michel said he had been "very saddened to hear the dramatic reports" from London, adding: "The fight against terrorism is a common fight." Johnson praised the emergency services for their response, adding: "This country will never be cowed or divided or intimidated by this sort of attack. "Our values, our British values will prevail." Motive unknown The attack happened on so-called "Black Friday", one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the run-up to Christmas, bringing more shoppers onto the streets. The Metropolitan Police said it was called at 1:58 pm (1358 GMT) to a stabbing at premises near the bridge, which links The City financial district to the south bank of the River Thames. "A male suspect was shot by specialist armed officers," Neil Basu, the head of UK counter-terrorism policing, told reporters outside New Scotland Yard police headquarters. "This suspect died at the scene. It has been declared a terrorist incident. We retain an open mind as to any motive. "We believe a device that was strapped to the body of the suspect was a hoax explosive device." Several people were seen in video footage apparently surrounding the man on the ground. One man, wearing a suit and tie, was seen retreating from the scene, with what appeared to be a large knife in his right hand. Three armed officers then appeared on the scene and surrounded the scrum. One officer pulled a man away before two shots appeared to be fired. An eyewitness told reporters: "He was on the ground with a knife near him, and a bag near him and then they surrounded him and armed police shot him." Another told the BBC she and other people in the area rushed into a nearby restaurant and were told by staff to take cover under tables. The bridge was closed off, with evacuated buses at a standstill, and a white truck straddling the carriageways. Forensics officers were at the scene. Johnson thanked the police and all emergency services "for their immediate response". A White House spokesman said US President Donald Trump had been briefed on the attack and was monitoring the situation. Trump, who has previously criticised Mayor Khan and stabbings in the British capital, is due to visit next week for a NATO summit. Threat level downgraded Britain downgraded its terrorism threat level from "severe", the second-highest of five levels, to "substantial" on November 4, its lowest rating in more than five years. British officials consider a terrorist attack "likely" when the threat level is substantial, and "highly likely" when it is severe. The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, an organisation made up of government departments and other public bodies makes the decision after weighing up intelligence and information on known terror groups. The 2017 attack involved Islamist extremists in a van who ploughed into pedestrians on London Bridge before attacking people at random with knives in nearby Borough Market. Eight people were killed and 48 others injured. The three attackers, who were wearing fake suicide devices, were shot dead by police.

Pico Iyer offers an honest, anecdotal and arguably basic cultural kaleidoscope view of Japan

He had immersed himself in the life of the people. Seward, I recall, wrote in one of his books, that he wanted to call it, 'How to Learn Japanese in 30 Years'. To emphasise the difficulties and slow process of learning about another culture. I suppose Pico Iyer, who has spent over 30 years in Japan, alludes to that feeling of not really ever having a sense that you know a country. Iyer comes from a very different background, thinking and style. He seems to spend part of the year in Japan — autumn, in fact — with his family in Nara, and he divides the rest of the time between his home in the US, and work that takes him around the world. He has also chosen the life of a foreigner, not making any effort to learn the language, which he underlines he speaks a smattering of, like a little girl. Alluding to the fact that he has picked up a few phrases from his wife. The book is a collection of aphoristic paragraphs arranged, apparently, in a fan-shaped design. The pretty cover seems to play with this idea, to take the reader on a journey from the outer to the inner, from arrival to the end and a new beginning. Some 50 pages into the book, there is an 'Advanced Guide to Japan', where he discovers that Oscar Wilde provides the key to understanding Japan. Wilde understood the power of performance, and wrote, 'The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.' Iyer finds confirmation of this everywhere. A yakuza gangster tells him that you have to think of yourself as being on-stage all the time, 'It's a performance. If you're bad at playing the role of a yakuza, then you are a bad yakuza'. It reminded me of that wonderful account by an Ivy League PhD scholar trying to become a bodybuilder, Muscle, The Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder. Samuel Fussel wrote that he had to not just train his body, but learn to walk like a bodybuilder to project his power. This is the fulcrum around which the book turns, or should I say it is the catch which binds the leaves of the fan from where, with a flick of the wrist you can spread the fan and display the delicate painting, and use it. It takes a little practice, but it is something so Japanese, East Asian — even more so, I think, than bowing while speaking on the phone. The book combines observations on Japanese life and culture, koan-like statements that may lead some readers to satori, and random facts. So, some random samples: 'Girls in Japan are trained to put the right earring on with the left hand, because it looks more attractive'. 'When you are all in your robes', the Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki told his students in San Francisco, 'I can see you individually.' And, 'More people live within 30 or so miles of Tokyo than in the rest of Japan.' The last reminded me of Michael Caine who, in an interview, explained how he just naturally, without any special effort, remembered random facts. He quoted some examples. One, that there is no place in England further than 70 miles from the coast. There are many books on trying to understand Japan and its culture, ever since the Portuguese began going there in the 16th century. Some of these describe the exotic people who do everything topsy-turvy, the wrong way around, are full of contradictions, but are intriguing. This book, for all it's circling, really fits into this pattern. There are limits to understanding a place when you don't have the language. And who are the explanations for? I much prefer reading the effect a place has on a person. The dynamics of the interaction place all on an equal footing. Sometimes, even without language or any deep knowledge of the place, writing emerges that continues to speak to us. Take the case of Jonathan Swift. He sends Gulliver to Japan, where he meets real 'natives', not the imagined ones of Brobdingnag or Lilliput. Captured by a Japanese pirate, he has an audience with the emperor. Swift uses Japan's refusal to trade as a way to look at the limits of European power. He is neither interested in idealising a civilisation, nor in trying to understand the 'heathen'. A more recent book, Ian Buruma's Tokyo Romance, is a thought-provoking recollection of time spent in seriously engaging with Japan, and how this transformed and shaped him. Again, it offers ways of thinking both about Buruma and Japan. Iyer remains a remote figure and his Japan flat.

The principle of caring should be predicated on empathy and knowledge

Evidently, the primates have picked up a vice or two from their human cousins.The moral degeneration of monkeys is not on Ms Malini's mind. She is more concerned about the health of the simians. This in itself is startling, given that monkeys, their prowess nothwithstanding, are yet to be given the right to vote in a nation that venerates them. What has exercised Ms Malini is that much like Homo supine couch potatoes, simians have started to smack their lips at samosas and other kinds of popular, but unhealthy, snacks. Worse, they have turned down all offers of a healthy diet, said the parliamentarian. The stubborn politician, who refuses to honour the good of the people, could well be the model for monkeys here. The solution - at least the way Ms Malini sees it - is simple: a 'monkey safari' must be built. The details of the proposal remain hazy; is Ms Malini certain that the primates would agree to be shepherded into such a refuge? There is, of course, the Bharatiya Janata Party's claim of cows mooing in delight at the thought of gaushalas built for them but monkeys, given their temperament, could turn out to be a different kind of fish. Ms Malini, like her peers, could think of invoking the BJP's favourite divine figure; he would certainly make the simians fall in line. But then, there is another - serious - problem. Ms Malini's voters have not taken kindly to her prioritizing monkey over man. Mathura and Vrindavan - they fall under Ms Malini's watch - are beset with several problems. Thousands of widows who throng to the cities are denied dignity and basic amenities; the closure of textile factories has led to growing unemployment. Ironically, the blame for the monkey menace, a serious problem, lies squarely on the shoulders of man. Loss of habitat coupled with the apathy of civic bodies has contributed to this singular man-animal conflict. The management of strays is shorn of a modern outlook. Sterilization is the key to controlling stray populations but civic bodies in India often resort to capturing and killing animals. Public veneration of animals - monkeys and cows - is not enough. The principle of caring should be predicated on empathy and knowledge. 1694391 1672178 DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

42% Indians will cancel honeymoon for cricket final

Cricket fans are the most optimistic, followed by football fans when asked when they felt their team or player would win a major international tournament. Moreover, 88 per cent cricket fans believed that they will see their team or player win a major international tournament in the next four years, while 79 per cent football fans shared the sentiment. 'With major international cricket and athletics tournaments coming up in Asia in 2020 and the excitement of the UEFA EURO 2020, next year will definitely be an unforgettable year for sports,' said Ritu Mehrotra, Country Manager, India, Sri Lanka and Maldives at Booking.com. 'With a mission to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, we want to ensure that one gets the most out of their trip by helping them find their perfect accommodation, no matter what the occasion,' Mehrotra said. 'With this partnership with UEFA, we're excited to help bring fans the best experience with booking their ideal accommodation as well as great things to do in each host city,' Mehrotra added. The survey added that 41 per cent Indians would rather lose their jobs than not be able to attend a historic sporting final. According to the study, 42 per cent of Indian sports fans (highest globally) would cancel their honeymoon if it clashed with their team or athlete playing a big game, as against the global average of 19 per cent Travelling to see their team live in action is a clear priority for many Indian sports fans, the research found. The survey showed 82 per cent Indians have completed between one to five trips in the last year alone - with six in ten declaring they plan to travel both domestically and internationally to watch their team or player in the future. Despite affordability being important for the Indian sports fans, 37 per cent Indian sports fans happily admit that they would be willing to pay more for sports travel than their family vacation. The research also found Indian sports fans travel for Cricket (86 per cent), Football/Soccer (51 per cent), Tennis (31 per cent), Hockey (23 per cent) and Motorsports (18 per cent). The research was conducted among a sample size of 22,603 sports fans aged 18 or over in 29 international markets.

Who we are, what we have

There are five sense organs of perception through which we understand various objects that get registered in our mind as thoughts. They are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin. The sense organs that express themselves in work are mouth for speaking, hands for grasping, legs for measuring the ground and locomotion, the organ of reproduction and excretion. When it comes to the inner and subtle instruments, they are four in number. They are called the Antah Karana or inner tools. They are the mind for knowing everything without and within, the intellect for deciding, the 'I'-maker called the ahamkara. Its job is to add the idea of I to everything we think, speak, do or experience. The fourth is the chitta or memory bank that keeps constantly ruminating on one's own objects of interest. If you badly want to have ice cream, know that the idea has come from the chitta, which has stored the memory that eating ice cream makes you happy. The ahamkara or I thought adds fuel to that thought and makes you think, "I want to eat ice cream". The manas shows you the possible ice cream shops nearby that you can get from and the buddhi, or intellect, dragged by the rest of the three decides and says, "Yes, you can go for ice cream." One aspect of the subtle body is the Pranamayakosha. It contains mainly prana, but with five different functions. The prana is the vital energy that holds together the gross physical body and the mind. When this layer weakens, the individual feels depleted of energy. When through the process of aging, the prana's power ebbs away, which causes the difficulty for the eyes and other sense organs to function. It basically functions through the sense organs of perception. The Apana functions through the sense organs of action and it does an excretory function. Samana helps to digest and assimilate. Vyana circulates nutrients and Udana lifts up things in the body. Udana is the cause for our thoughts which have a rising motion and also the final departure of this sheath on death is caused by Udana. The differences in these five functions are like the differences in a bangle, chain, ring or earring-all made of gold or the difference in water-ice, steam, liquid, foam, and froth.

180 Bangladeshis arrested while fleeing India, NRC listed among reasons

All the arrested people were handed over to Mohespur police station in Jhenaidah district of Bangladesh, across West Bengal's Nadia district. 'They said they went to work in India and returned because of unfavourable circumstances. In India, most of these people lived in Bengaluru,' said Rashedul Alam, officer-in-charge of Moheshpur police station. Bengaluru police arrested 60 Bangladeshis in a recent crackdown and sent them to the border on Saturday to be repatriated. A senior West Bengal Police officer, who follows illegal immigration, said, along with the Bengaluru crackdown, Indian government's decision to identify illegal residents through the NRC (National Register of Citizens) exercise, may have also influenced the retreat. 'The fear of pan-India NRC possibly stopped them from moving to any other Indian state,' said the officer who did not want to be identified. Sabyasachi Basu Ray Chaudhury, a professor of political science and migration expert, also listed NRC as a possible cause. 'The arrest of 180 persons in 20 days from just one police station area is unusual. I think that the fear of citizenship screening exercise and India's economic slowdown have both played a role in this,' Ray Chaudhury said. The West Bengal BJP welcomed the news and said the 'fear of NRC' had started to work and the illegal immigrants knew that they can't be 'protected by anyone'. 'Those in Bengal are still banking on Mamata Banerjee's promise of stalling the NRC. They too will start returning to Bangladesh once they realise that Banerjee can do nothing,' said state unit president Dilip Ghosh. 'Half of the task of sending back infiltrators will be finished even before the actual process of NRC starts,' Ghosh added.

Parties go hi-tech, launch virtual campaigns in Karnataka

This also informs people to assemble at a particular point. Since the election commission will be watching campaigns, making them viral will help parties reach out to more people. Shivajinagar's Congress candidate Rizwan Arshad, who posted a video on Twitter, appealed to people to vote for him. "I am not new here. Although I was lost in the previous Lok Sabha election, I'm indebted to the people in Shivajinagar. Congress has chosen me to listen to you,'' he says his video. Nataraj Gowda, Social Media co-ordinator, KPCC has put up posters of all 15 candidates as his WhatsApp status message. "We have instructed our party workers to do the same on WhatsApp and on Facebook. They were also instructed to forward these posters to the concerned people through WhatsApp,'' he said. He claims they have reached over 5 lakh people through this campaign. BJP has been posting a quick brief of their campaigns in all 15 constituencies with just a one-minute video, every day. State media co-ordinator AH Anand said that he has appointed a social media coordinator in all 15 constituencies. "We have started a missed call campaign and have people's data. We also have a network of booth-level workers, who will take messages from party leaders and commoners in their constituency,'' he said. Anand said that they were also doing press meets live. They have been releasing video messages of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel and other senior ministers, which will again be shared on social media. "We are the first party to use social media on such a big scale,'' he added. Meanwhile, JDS has taken up broadcasting their campaigns live. The JDS Fan club page is doing live coverage of Former PM Devegowda, HD Kumaraswamy and others. "Anyone from any corner can watch these live. JDS started using this media later than other parties, but we will use it better in the future,'' said a JDS leader on anonymity.

Kerala students protest over death of 10-yr-old girl due to snakebite

Shehal Sherin, a fifth standard student, died after being bitten by a snake inside her classroom on Wednesday. "We want justice for Shehala. Stern action should be taken against the Parents Teachers Association (PTA), the teachers who refused to rush the student to hospital and the doctors who refused to treat her," a student said. A boy student, with a plastic snake wrapped around his neck, said there is not even a first aid box in the school where there are snakes slithering everywhere on the playground and in classrooms. There are snake pits in many places in the school compound, he said. Basic facilities like clean toilets are not available at the vocational higher secondary school, some others said. Meanwhile, Wayanad District Sessions Judge A Harris visited the school this morning and saw the sorry state of the school and its premises and said it was unfortunate. "We are taking the situation seriously," he told reporters. District Child Welfare Committee (CWC) President K Aravindakshan said based on newspaper reports on the death of the student, CWC had on their own registered a case. A detailed report has been sought from the Deputy Director of the Education department and District Medical Officer on the lapses on the part of school and hospitals, where the child was taken. Meanwhile, the government has suspended a casualty medical officer of the Bathery taluk hospital for not administering anti-venom to the child. Shehala Sherin, a fifth standard student, was taken to hospital over an hour after the incident at around 3 pm on Wednesday, her fellow students had alleged. Though her parents rushed her to four hospitals where no anti-venom was administered and they were told to take the child to the Kozhikode Medical College hospital, which is about 90 km from Sulthan Bathery. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the incident was unfortunate and assured strong action against those responsible for the lapse in saving the child's life. "The teachers are supposed to educate the children on how to react in such situations. But in this case, the teachers, despite repeated requests from students failed to take the child to hospital," the chief minister said. Strong action will be taken against those responsible for any lapses in their duty, Vijayan added. Congress leader and Wayanad MP, Rahul Gandhi wrote to Vijayan, saying the school's "crumbling infrastructure" needed urgent attention of the state government. After a preliminary probe, a teacher, Shijil, was suspended for alleged lapse. Kerala Human Rights Commission and Child Rights Protection Commission have registered separate cases. ...

Voting underway in 13 seats in 1st phase of Jharkhand assembly election

Of these, Chatra, Gumla, Lohardaga, Latehar and Garhwa are designated by the ministry of home affairs as affected by left wing extremism (LWE). Campaigning for these seats ended on Thursday. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government of Ragubar Das will seek a second term in the five phase election for the state's 81 seats, when the results are declared on December 23. Voting will take place across 3,906 polling stations, out of which 989 will have webcasting facilities, an Election Commission release said. Polling personnel, deputed in remote areas, were being airlifted, EC officials said. A total of 1,097 booths have been declared hyper LWE sensitive, while 461 polling stations are LWE sensitive. 'We have made adequate security arrangements both for electors and polling personnel. A large number of security personnel have been deployed at all polling stations, besides heli-dropping and cluster arrangements have also been ensured,' said Vinay Kumar Choubey, chief electoral officer (CEO), Jharkhand. Monitoring exercise is being carried out by flying squads to prevent violation of the Model Code of Conduct, such as distribution of cash, liquor and other inducements, the officials said. The BJP is contesting in 12 seats in the first phase, while it is supporting Independent Vinod Singh from Hussainabad. The opposition alliance of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal is contesting in four, six and three constituencies, respectively. Prominent candidates in the fray are BJP nominee and Jharkhand Health Minister Ramchandra Chandravanshi and Jharkhand PCC president and ex-IPS officer Rameshwar Oraon. Oraon is taking on ex-PCC chief and sitting legislator Sukhdeo Bhagat, after the latter joined the BJP recently. Former BJP chief whip Radhakrishna Kishore, who was denied ticket from Chhatarpur, is contesting on All Jharkhand Students Union party ticket from the same seat. Polling will begin at 7 am and conclude at 3 pm, the release said. The BJP won six seats out of the 13 in the 2014 assembly polls, with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Congress taking one each and the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik), or JVM (P), two seats. The first phase follows recent attacks in Latehar and Palamu districts last week, in which security personnel and two persons were killed. Security agencies suspect the attacks were carried out by Maoists. Four policemen, including a sub- inspector, were killed in the Latehar attack late on Friday evening when rebels targeted a police patrol vehicle. 'The first phase will set the trend of polling for next four phases and also define which way the elections would go. Political scenario in all 13 seats is different from 2014 elections after formation of the opposition alliance. BJP might face a tough contest from the opposition parties this time,' said Ranchi University associate professor LK Kundan.

Haryana starts plans to develop Gurugram 2.0

The master plan of the new city was being worked out, officials said, with an eye on the year 2040. AECOM had also conducted a kick off and inception meeting of the project in May 2019 which was chaired by Rajesh Khullar, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister. 'The new city adjoining Gurugram is a major step towards planned urbanization along the KMP expressway and alleviating pressures on the existing urban centres in the region,'' said an official. Outgoing Additional Chief Secretary, Industries and Commerce, Devender Singh said that the government plans a comprehensive review of the project soon. 'The suggestions of the core group members will be incorporated before the next round of deliberations,'' Singh said. He said the proposed new city adjoining Gurugram was a part of state government's larger plan to set up five cities along the alignment of KMP expressway in the national capital region (NCR). A Panchgram Development Authority will be set up to fast track the projects. The new cities will act as new urban centres and also open opportunities for trade and commerce. 'A draft Bill was presented to the Council of Ministers earlier this year. Following suggestions from the ministers, it is being reshaped and will be put up before the cabinet again,'' Singh said. As per the AECOM report, the planning of the 'Dream City' presented several opportunities that can be leveraged to make it an emerging economic growth centre. 'The new city will be strategically located with direct access from multiple roads and railway network. To make the city livable, adequate land would be earmarked for public facilities and amenities like universities, colleges, schools, institutional areas, public officers, open spaces, forests, stadiums and parks,'' said a Haryana official. Issues like seismic vulnerability, water scarcity, transportation would be kept in mind during the planning stages. Besides, the development and planning strategy would consider the existing villages and towns to ensure a reciprocal relationship between urban and rural areas. The consultant's report said that in the first stage of planning, an extensive process of analyzing baseline data including the physical site survey was carried out. 'The consultants have identified development and no development zones, done land suitability analysis, assessment of potential development and growth directions and prepared three feasible spatial alternatives,'' said an official.

Indiabulls Housing Finance loans to DLF, Anil Ambani firms repaid: MCA

A PIL moved by Citizen Whistle Blowers Forum alleges that the group companies of Indiabulls had, through its promoters, 'been advancing dubious loans to companies owned by large corporate groups which in turn have been routing the money back to the accounts of companies owned by the promoters of Indiabulls, so as to increase their personal wealth'. The PIL also alleged that while Anil Ambani-led ADAG had received as much as Rs 1,580 crore in loans and invested Rs 570 crore back in the company and its group firms, DLF had received Rs 1,705.54 crore as loan and invested Rs 66 crore back. Gautam Bhalla-owned Vatika group was loaned as much as Rs 4,600 crore by Indiabulls Housing Finance, the PIL further alleged. The MCA received reports for two investigations ordered against Indiabulls Ventures and Indiabulls Housing Finance on November 15 and 19, respectively, while another report probing alleged irregularities in Indiabulls Real Estate is yet to be submitted, the affidavit to the HC said. The government had in July last ordered an investigation into the dealings of Indiabulls group. In September this year, the HC had agreed to hear the case, and issued notices to Indiabulls, its promoters, as well as the MCA. Indiabulls has maintained that the PIL was a part of a motivated attack on the firm, aimed at causing loss to the company and hampering its day-to-day operations. The PIL, the company had then told the Delhi HC, was 'malicious' and 'mala fide' and that the 'averments made in the petition are a pack of lies motivated by vested interest and has been filed without any research even on publicly available records of the company'.

Davis Cup: Russia beat reigning champions Croatia in opener

The 18 nations have been split into six groups of three at the Caja Magica, with the pool winners and two best runners-up to play in the last eight of the first edition of the revamped tournament. The teams face off in two best-of-three-set singles matches and one doubles rubber in each tie. Khachanov and Rublev completed the clean sweep later on Monday with a 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 doubles win over Ivan Dodig and Nikola Mektic. Canada claimed a 2-1 victory over well-fancied Italy to strike first in Group F. World number 12 Fabio Fognini slumped to a 7-6 (7/5), 7-5 defeat by Vasek Pospisil, ranked 150th, before rising star Denis Shapovalov edged out Matteo Berrettini 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (3/7), 7-6 (7/5). 'I'm really happy to get the win against a player like Matteo who has had such a good season,' said Shapovalov. 'I always love representing my country... It's not often you get to play as a team, so it's amazing.' Italy, who won their only Davis Cup title in 1976, were the favourites in Group F with Fognini and Berrettini both having enjoyed excellent seasons. The 20-year-old Shapovalov saved three set points before snatching the first set in a tie-break, only for Berrettini to level the match in a second-set breaker. A clash without a single break of serve, was decided by another tie-break, with Shapovalov reeling off the last three points to win after two hours and 52 minutes on court. Berrettini and Fognini boosted Italy's hopes of making the quarters with a hard-fought doubles success over Shapovalov and Pospisil, winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Canada take on the United States on Tuesday, with Italy facing the Americans the following day. Belgium made a victorious start in Group D with back-to-back singles wins against Colombia. The South Americans are playing at the top level of Davis Cup tennis for the first time, having never played in the old World Group. Steve Darcis saw off Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-2, before world number 11 David Goffin had to battle back from a set down to avoid a shock against 194th-ranked Daniel Elahi Galan Riveros, winning 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. But the world number one doubles pairing of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah grabbed a historic win for Colombia by battling past Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

KPL scam: ICC says will extend help to CCB probe

Mr Rao alleged that the sudden wealth of some of the cricketers had raised many eyebrows. 'These players would go around in fancy, expensive cars and spend carelessly. Many people were wondering where they got the money from. Here is the answer to that question... Their wealth came from match-fixing,' he said. The players, those arrested and under the scanner, will be investigated thoroughly. Their spending at resorts and their source of money will be probed too, he said.

David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne smack centuries in day-night Pakistan Test

Their Adelaide partnership was the highest ever in a day-night Test. "It's a bit surreal at the moment. It was just amazing to be out there with Davey and to just put on a really big partnership," said Labuschagne. "Really happy. We were running hard, I love the intensity of the crease." Warner paid tribute to the maturity of his partner, who is playing in only his 11th Test. "Credit to Marnus for the way he came out and took the bowlers on again, he picked up where he left off at the Gabba," he said. "We're just thrilled to get through that tonight and want to come out tomorrow and put some more runs on the board." Pakistan need to win to square the two-match series. The odds were heavily stacked against them before the game began, having lost 13 consecutive Tests in Australia, and their chances are even slimmer now. Over the years, taking wickets in Australia has been a challenge for Pakistan and they shuffled their bowling attack for the pink-ball Test in a bid to make the most of the conditions. Veteran seamer Mohammad Abbas, who tormented Australia when he took 17 wickets in two Tests in the UAE last October, returned in place of Imran Khan while 16-year-old pace sensation Naseem Shah was rested. That handed a debut to 19-year-old medium-fast right-armer Muhammad Musa, but, like in the first Test at Brisbane, none of them could tame Warner and Labuschagne, with the ball hardly doing anything under the lights to trouble them. After Australian skipper Tim Paine won the toss and chose to bat, Pakistan had a flicker of hope when Joe Burns was out for four, but a stubborn Warner and Labuschagne dug in and they went to tea at 70 for one. - Solid form - The players were forced to remain in the dressing room for an extra two hours from the scheduled resumption due to persistent light drizzle, but when they returned Warner quickly brought up his 31st half-century. The opener got an inside edge for two runs, with his 50 coming courtesy of four careless overthrows -- the first time in five day-night Tests he has passed the mark. He continued to pick off runs, reaching his 23rd Test century with a single off spinner Yasir Shah in a near faultless innings that included 12 fours. It has been a big turnaround for the former Australian vice-captain, who managed just 95 runs in 10 innings during this year's Ashes series in England. At the other end, the impressive Labuschagne quietly went about his business, notching his sixth 50 in his 11th Test with a boundary off Musa. The South African-born right-hander showed solid form during the Ashes, benefitting from a stint with English county side Glamorgan, but he has really come of age against Pakistan. The 25-year-old bagged his second Test ton with a two off Yasir, punching the air in joy after reaching three figures from 169 balls with 14 fours. Earlier, on an overcast afternoon and with the floodlights on from the first ball, Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan's standout bowler, bagged the wicket of Burns. With the ball moving off the seam, he got an edge to Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps and was out for four, with that breakthrough proving to be the only ray of sunshine for the visitors. ...

Running for their lives

'I started running with a motive to shed extra kilos. But because of my then work profile, I didn't have time to exercise. So I thought of running as I could do it anytime, anywhere. This was how my tryst with running started,' says Wadhwa, who now works as a recovery agent for banks. 'Soon I started enjoying running and gradually it became a very important part of my life. Today, wherever I travel, running shoes is the first in my carry-on list.' Wadhwa has now over 15 official (and many unofficial) half-marathons (21km) as well as three marathons (42km) to his credit. 'I make it a point to do all my local office related commute on a bicycle,' he says. 'Exercise, especially running, has become an integral part of my life and I can't think even a day without it.' Taking a cue from the growing runners' community in the metros, Wadhwa and his friends formed Chandigarh's first running club—Chandigarh Runners Club—in July 2014. It started with a handful of enthusiasts but today has over 4,000 members from all walks of life. In the last five years, the city has seen more running groups and clubs mushrooming with some regularly organising Sunday runs with over 200 runners. 'Around five years ago the city used to see one or two runs a year but now the scenario has totally changed. There is a vertical growth in running events being organised in and around Chandigarh,' says Ashok Giri, who is one of the founder members of the Chandigarh Distance Runners—a club with over 500 active members. Giri too took to running with the sole aim of shedding extra kilos. Running marathons was never a target but gradually the 43-year-old switched over to long distance running. And now, his half-marathon count is 20 and marathon is 11, including two overseas. 'I started with a small stretch of daily run and then moved to 5-10km and later to half-marathon and marathons,' says Giri, who is a lawyer. 'When we started the club, most members were not from sports backgrounds so we didn't have much idea how to train for long distances,' Giri says. 'Gradually, with experience and inputs from fellow runners we designed our training schedule and kept on adding new things to it. But Sunday group runs are the key behind our success and a great motivation for new members to target marathons—half and full.' The Sunday sessions of the Chandigarh Distance Runners starts with a 'hill' run of 21km on the first Sunday of the month. On the second, there is a 21km run in the tri-city (Chandigarh-Mohali-Panchkula) and on the third, the club has a High Intensity Interval Training—a circuit training session. 'On the last Sunday, we wrap up the month with a little relaxed schedule with a birthday run. After 21km, we cut a cake for all runners, whose birthday falls in that particular month. It adds some enjoyment and helps in bonding,' says Giri. 'For the new members, we have 10-15km runs with the same schedule. Later on, they graduate to 21km.' In between the Sunday runs, the group follows a five-day-a-week schedule. 'After a long run on Sunday, Monday is an off-day for recovery. We start weekly training with stairs on Tuesday which helps in building strength. Wednesdays we do cycling between 25-50km and on Thursdays we do interval strides. Friday is for strength (gym) and the sessions are for 35-50 minutes. We keep Saturdays off or do very light training,' says Giri. Before getting introduced to running, Jaspreet Kaur had two worries—being overweight and starting the day with a pill to control her thyroid. A mother of two, Jaspreet took to running in July 2017 and in a year she lost 18kg—from 74kg to 56kg—and for the last 10 months she has been able to go off thyroid medications as well. 'The results of running are unbelievable,' says the 39-year-old. 'I try to motivate people that running or exercising is not only limited to losing weight or to be in shape. If you don't have extra kilos that does not mean you need not exercise. You exercise to remain fit.' Now a core member of Chandigarh Distance Runners, Jaspreet is regularly running half-marathons and ran her first marathon in Delhi last year. To keep their members upbeat and break the daily running monotony, clubs keep on adding new challenges. For example, a Navratri run—nine days of running 9km every day. 'On June 4, we started with the Independence Day run for 73 days—to celebrate the 73rd Independence Day—and we finished on August 15. Over 200 members completed the schedule,' says Jaspreet, who ran 1,400km in the 100-day challenge last year.

Amid talks of face-off with BJP, Nitish says won't campaign in Jharkhand for assembly election

The JD(U) has decided to contest majority of the 81 seats in Jharkhand. On Tuesday, Kumar's senior party colleague and Munger MP Lallan Singh had announced in Ranchi that, if needed, the Bihar CM might campaign for Saryu Roy, who quit days ago as Jharkhand's food and supply minister, if the latter requested for the same. 'We will extend all possible support to Roy. Each one of us will camp in Jamshedpur, if need be. He has always been raising his voice against corruption. As a gesture and support to him, we have already withdrawn our candidate from there,' Singh has said at a press conference, triggering talks of a face-off between allies JD(U) and the BJP. On Wednesday, senior JD (U) and BJP leaders were cautious. JD (U)'s national general secretary, K C Tyagi said that since he was unaware of the statement made by Lallan Singh, he would not comment. 'I would suggest you better speak to him,' he said. Another JD (U) spokesperson Sanjay Singh also preferred not to speak anything on the issue when contacted. BJP Spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan too declined comment. On his part, Saryu Roy himself said he had not made any request to Nitish Kumar to campaign for him. 'I am yet to speak to him on the issue,' he said, much to relief of the Bihar CM. JD (U) leaders had made it clear in the past that their primary objective was to attain the national party status for which they needed at least six per cent of vote share from a minimum of four states. Hence, the party decided to make a foray into Jharkhand and Delhi polls in a big way. The JD (U) has the requisite share from two states, Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh, but it narrowly missed the target in Nagaland. JD (U) is a recognised party in Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh. According to the criteria set by the Election Commission of India (ECI), a national party needs to get at least 6% of the votes from a minimum of four states, or 2% of the total seats in the Lok Sabha from at least three states, or it should be recognised as a state party in at least four states. At present, there are six recognized national parties in India. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

UK PM gets replaced by melting ice sculpture as he skips climate change debate on TV

"Denying the Conservative Party any opportunity to contribute to this cross-party event is unfair and breaches the requirements to 'preserve' impartiality," Lee Cain said in a letter to Ofcom on behalf of the Conservatives. "There is clear precedent for such cross-party debates to take place without party leaders necessarily contributing." Cain called the ice statue a "provocative partisan stunt". Leaders from the main opposition Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru and the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) took part. Presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, thanking them afterwards, added: "Thank-you also to Michael Gove from the Conservative Party who did come here but sadly, as we made clear from the start, this debate was for leaders only and our leaders were only prepared to debate other leaders. "Our offer to Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to come here and discuss the climate emergency remains open." In the debate, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said: "This election is our last chance to tackle the climate and environment emergency." SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's first minister, described tackling the situation as a "moral obligation." Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, meanwhile, called the climate issue "more important than Brexit", adding however that Brexit was a "climate crime". "It is morally wrong to leave our seat at the table and give up our influence to create the change we need right across the world." Johnson has said he only wants to debate with Corbyn, seeing him as theoretically the only alternative prime minister. The Brexit Party said it did not take part because it had "no faith that the broadcaster will conduct this debate in a fair and objective way". The snap general election takes place on December 12.

Sensex tumbles 336 points ahead of GDP data

nvestors turned cautious ahead of Q2 gross domestic product (GDP) growth numbers, scheduled to be released later in the day, traders said.Experts are of the view that GDP growth for Q2 is expected to be lower than the 5 per cent in Q1.Weak cues from global markets also weighed on market mood, they added.Bourses in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kospi and Seoul ended in the red as US law supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong put a dampener on hopes of an early trade truce over tariffs.Stocks in Europe were trading on a positive note.On the currency front, the rupee depreciated 17 paise (intra-day) against the US dollar to 71.79.Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.79 per cent to USD 62.77 per barrel in futures trade.

Prequel to A Woman of Substance

he author has said: "I write about mostly ordinary women who go on to achieve the extraordinary."In May 2003, Barbara and her husband flew to Calcutta after being alerted by a fan about Sahara TV's plan to produce a 262-episode series, Karisma: A Miracle of Destiny,which was built round the idea of a street sweeper, Karisma, rising to become boss of an international corporation.The Indian series, which Barbara felt had been lifted wholesale from her novel, starred Karishma Kapoor in the title role.By the time Barbara sued the Mumbai-based Sahara Media Entertainment, 70 episodes were already in the can. An appeal court in Calcutta ruled against Barbara and ordered her to pay Rs 150,000 in damages.When The Telegraph met Barbara a few years ago in London, when she was the chief guest at a gathering of the Romantic Novelists' Association, she said she had distinctly unromantic memories of India: "I want to put all that behind me."Much has changed in her life. She is now 86 and written 35 novels which have been translated into 40 languages and sold more than 92 million copies in 90 countries. Ten of her books have been adapted for television. A Woman of Substance was part of a trilogy, which was adapted for TV in 1985 with a cast that included Jenny Seagrove, Liam Neeson, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Deborah Kerr.It was the death of her husband earlier this year after 55 years of marriage that made Barbara think of a prequel. He had told her: "Keep writing if anything happens to me, it's your solace as well as your career.""Bob was by my side at the beginning when I wrote A Woman of Substance," Barbara said, "and I felt compelled to tell Blackie's story.. I rather like the idea of visiting Blackie again and inventing a life we never saw, and seeing Emma again".The prequel will set Emma Harte and her close friend, Blackie O'Neill, five years before their initial encounter in A Woman of Substance. It will tell the tale of Blackie, 13, who faces an uncertain future in rural Co Kerry, Ireland.Orphaned and alone, he has just buried his sister Bronagh and must leave home to set sail for England in search of a better life with his mother's brother in Leeds. Before long, the youth roaming the Yorkshire Moors will meet Emma.HarperCollins said that it would reveal the "true" Blackie O'Neill - "his tumultuous life, the obstacles facing him, the desire he has to throw off the impotence of poverty and move up in the world. Like his friend Emma, he is ambitious, driven, disciplined, and determined to make it to the top".

ONGC may pare HPCL stake

ources said the buyout of HPCL had not resulted in the integration of the two companies, which had different lines of business and corporate cultures. It only helped the Modi government to meet the disinvestment target set for the last fiscal, they said.HPCL, in fact, had refused to recognise ONGC its majority shareholder for 15 months. In regulatory filings for five consecutive quarters, HPCL listed "President of India" as its promoter with "zero" per cent shareholding. ONGC was listed as a "public shareholder" owning "77.88 crores" shares, or "51.11 per cent", in the company. It was only in August that HPCL recognised ONGC as its promoter in its public filings, almost 20 months after the buyout.Data showed ONGC's expenditure on exploratory wells had almost halved to Rs 6,016 crore in the last fiscal from Rs 11,687 crore for the year ended March 31, 2014. This coincided with a steady decline in domestic crude oil production, which dropped to 35.68 million tonnes (mt) in 2017-18 from 38.09 mt in 2011-12.ONGC's buyout of HPCL and Gujarat-based GSPC have severely dented ONGC's cash reserves. The buyout of HPCL in January 2018 had turned ONGC, a zero-debt company, into one with a debt of Rs 21,593 crore by the end of 2018-19. Interest payments zoomed to Rs 2,492 crore in 2018-19 from Rs 2.79 crore in 2014-2015.Both HPCL, which was earlier part of the US-based Esso conglomerate, and BPCL, which was earlier Burmah-Shell, a British oil retailer, were nationalised in the 1970s.HPCL recorded gross sales of Rs 2,95,713 crore in 2018-19 and net profit of Rs 6,029 crore. HPCL, which runs three major refineries in the country, is modernising its Visakhapatnam refinery at an estimated cost of Rs 20,928 crore. Once completed, this project will increase its refining capacity to 15mt from 8mt.

Uddhav Thackeray puts off Ayodhya visit plan

'Nothing has been decided on the visit yet,' said Sena MP and secretary Vinayak Raut. Deferring the visit is being viewed as the Sena's attempt not to rock the boat. The Sena's Hindutva agenda could be a stumbling block in the coming together of the three parties, political observers feel. Another functionary said Thackeray never announced a travel date, but had merely expressed a 'wish' to visit if the 'law and order scenario permits'. 'Hindutva is not being downplayed in any way. It is an incorrect assumption of the media. The government in the state, if the three parties come together, will be run on a common agenda. Hindutva is a national issue and will remain at the core of the party,' a Sena functionary said. Political observers said the Sena chief is playing his cards right on the Hindutva agenda. Surendra Jondhale, a political analyst, said, 'His primary concern seems to be government formation. Visiting Ayodhya will not serve any purpose, as people would take it in a wrong way. Secondly, the [SC] judgment has stated a temple would come up there, so it is not of relevance now. Thirdly, the issue will not be beneficial for the political future of his son, Aaditya.' Republican Party of India (RPI-A) chief and union minister Ramdas Athawale on Monday suggested a power-sharing agreement between the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to end the deadlock over government formation in Maharashtra. Athawale, whose party is part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, said the 'compromise' formula was discussed with senior Sena leader Sanjay Raut. The proposed agreement will allow both parties to occupy the chief minister's post. 'I spoke to Sanjay Raut ji about a compromise. I suggested him a formula of three years (BJP CM) and two years (Shiv Sena CM) to which he said that if the BJP agrees, the Shiv Sena can think about it. I will discuss this with the BJP,' news agency ANI quoted the Union minister on Monday in New Delhi.Despite attempts, Raut could not be reached for a comment. A party functionary said, 'I am not aware if the two have had any discussion . No such power-sharing agreement has come to Uddhav ji.' htc DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Boris Johnson vows to table 'Get Brexit Done' deal before Christmas

The manifesto promises, if the Conservatives win, to put the Brexit deal before the House of Commons ahead of parliament being shut down for Christmas and New Year recess. That will then pave the way for Britain's departure from the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020. He described it as an "oven-ready" deal, already supported by Brussels and backed by every Conservative politician fighting in the election. Johnson said it would see a tidal wave of investment into Britain. Johnson said Britain had been held back by three-and-a-half years by a broken parliament. "We will get Brexit done and end the acrimony and despair," he said in a speech that made constant references to Britain's EU membership impasse. The manifesto said that there would be a five-year freeze on levels of income tax, Value Added Tax (VAT, which adds up to 20 per cent on the prices of goods and services), and National Insurance contributions, which funds the country's health service. Describing the manifesto as moderate, compared to the main opposition Labour Party plans for a massive spending spree, Johnson further stressed that 50,000 new nurses and 20,000 more police will be hired. There would also be more spending on infrastructure, science, and education, while at the same time controlling debt. The manifesto continued to give the governing Conservatives a double-digit lead over Labour. Pollsters say if the results are mirrored in the December election, Johnson would return to 10 Downing Street as head of a majority government.

The tiger and the nightingale

His company had bought the music rights of Radha Ka Sangam and Anuradha felt that her younger voice suited heroine Juhi Chawla better than Lata's did. Before its release, this Govinda film was considered hot property and everything connected with it was labelled prestigious. It was a prestige issue therefore to release the music with Anuradha leading the team. In Gulshan Kumar's mind, there was no question of putting out the music of Radha Ka Sangam in anybody's voice but Anuradha's. However, the partners had not reckoned with a force called Balasaheb Thackeray. When news of what was brewing in the recording rooms of the music company reached Balasaheb's ears, he sat up incensed. Lata Mangeshkar was the pride of Maharashtra. How could anybody commit the sacrilege of erasing her voice and replacing it with another? It was said in the 90s that when Thackeray (the original, not the current paper tiger) roared, the whole of Mumbai trembled. So when he roared, "How dare you?" Gulshan Kumar quaked. The music of Radha Ka Sangam was thus one of the rare films of those times that was released without Anuradha dubbing all the songs. If you go on the Net, you'll find Lata Mangeshkar's originals of Radha Ka Sangam and Anuradha's version of all the numbers. Gulshan Kumar did ultimately do justice by his partner - she did get to dub the songs. But only after the music was officially released in Lata Mangeshkar's voice. Politics, power and passion, thus, played their parts in Maharashtra in the naughty 90s too."I am here because of her, feeling helpless and restless," said Nitin Mukesh, who was on a concert tour of the US when Lata Mangeshkar was hospitalised for a lung infection last fortnight. It was because she was so prone to infection that the 90-year-old never stepped out of her Prabhu Kunj apartment to meet anybody. "I've been in love with her since I was a child," enthused Nitin over the mobile phone. "There's a picture of Lataji with my parents and me in my mother's stomach. That's how close our families have been and for so long. I can't imagine a life without her, I don't even want to think about it," he said when Lata was in hospital. It was Lata who was by Nitin's side when his father, legendary singer Mukesh, had collapsed and died in Detroit in 1976, when they were on a concert tour. Lata and Mukesh had a rakhi relationship. "Lataji was with me at the worst point of my life," remembered Nitin as he pointed out, "I inherited my father's name but it was Lataji who held my little finger and gave me platforms across the world. She has shown me the world, taken me to countries one wouldn't even have heard of. She'd introduce me to audiences as Mukeshbhaiya's son who's so talented. That's how I am in the US today on a concert tour. I owe my existence to her. I spoke to her at length before I came on this tour. She was all there, alert and lively."And, say her relatives, she's been throwing a tantrum that she wants to go home. Tathastu! Bharathi S.
