Bhaichung Bhutia congratulates Sunil Chhetri on becoming India's most capped player
Big congratulations to you Sunil,' Bhutia said. 'He has been a great leader and a great player for India. I hope he continues to perform in the manner he has been doing. You could always see the kind of commitment he had since we first met in Kolkata. His hunger to succeed always made him special.' Bhutia believes Chhetri's exemplary fitness level will help him to prolong his international career. 'There's no reason why he can't continue for long. He is a thorough professional. He is the most hardworking senior player in the circuit. In fact, even if you compare him to younger players, Sunil stands out,' Bhutia said. 'He is always at the gym doing that extra bit. The manner he has maintained his fitness is exemplary. He is a very sincere soul.'

At RIMS, an ailing Lalu battles erratic water, power supply too
Following this, a delegation of the party demanded the RIMS administration to refer the party chief to some super-specialty hospital for better treatment. The delegation pointed out that there was mismanagement in water and electricity supply in hospital's paying ward. On Thursday, Kailash Yadav, state general secretary of RJD, said that despite assurances, hospital authorities had failed to provide basic amenities in the paying ward. ' If conditions are abysmal in the paying ward, then how can poor patients expect good facilities in the general ward? When one among the country's most popular leader is meted out such treatment, we can well imagine what happens with normal patients,' Yadav said. He said RIMS director Dr DK Singh, when apprised of the situation, had said the hospital faced shortage of water and power due to erratic supply from the state government agencies. RJD state president, Gautam Singh Rana, said Prasad's health could deteriorate if authorities continued to behave irresponsibly. Prasad is suffering from a multiple ailments and had also undergone heart valve replacement surgery in 2018. A private security guard at the hospital said Prasad's ward did not have water supply for the last four days. However, RIMS medical superintendent Dr Vivek Kashyap said water supply was disrupted for some time in Prasad's ward because of some glitch in the pipeline and tap. A plumber had rectified the problem on Wednesday, and water supply was restored in Prasad's ward, he said.

RBI lowers FY20 growth estimate to 7 per cent
'Weak global demand due to escalation in trade wars may further impact India's exports and investment activity. Further, private consumption, especially in rural areas, has weakened in recent months,' the Monetary Policy Committee of the RBI said. However, on the positive side, political stability, high capacity utilisation, the uptick in business expectations in Q2, buoyant stock market conditions and higher financial flows to the commercial sector augur well for investment activity, it said. Why RBI has cut lending rates for the third consecutive time 'Taking into consideration various factors and the impact of recent policy rate cuts, GDP growth for 2019-20 is revised downwards from 7.2 per cent in the April policy to 7.0 per cent — in the range of 6.4-6.7 per cent for H1:2019-20 and 7.2-7.5 per cent for H2 — with risks evenly balanced,' it said. 'The MPC noted that growth impulses have significantly weakened as reflected in a further widening of the output gap,' it said. On May 31, 2019, the National Statistical Office (NSO) released quarterly estimates of GDP for Q4 of 2018-19 and provisional estimates of national income for 2018-19. GDP growth for 2018-19 has been estimated at 6.8 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y), down by 20 basis points from the second advance estimates released on February 28, pulled down by a downward revision in private final consumption expenditure (PFCE) and moderation in exports. Quarterly data show that domestic economic activity decelerated sharply to 5.8 per cent in Q4:2018-19 from 6.6 per cent in Q3 and 8.1 per cent in Q4 of 2017-18. Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) growth declined sharply to 3.6 per cent, after remaining in double digits in the previous five quarters. Private consumption growth also moderated, the RBI said. 'The drag on aggregate demand from net exports increased in Q4 due to a sharper deceleration in exports relative to imports. However, the overall slowdown in growth was cushioned by a large increase in government final consumption expenditure (GFCE),' it said. On the supply side, agriculture and allied activities contracted, albeit marginally, in Q4 of 2018-19 due to a decline in rabi production. According to the third advance estimates, foodgrains production at 283.4 million tonnes for 2018-19 was lower by 0.6 per cent compared with the previous year mainly due to lower production of rabi rice, pulses and coarse cereals. However, there has been a catch-up in foodgrains production relative to earlier estimates.

'Relationships are overrated'
'The story is intriguing and nice, and genuine too because she herself is a transgender,' informs the actress. Describing the film, she adds, 'It's a love story set in the monsoon season. And while society has many pre-conceived notions about who has the right to fall in love, love is universal. Falling in love has no convenient time, it can happen anytime and anywhere. That's what I liked in the script.' Further, she says, 'We are all human beings at the end of the day. And as human beings, we need to evolve.' Konkona has nearly 50 films to her credit, across languages like Bengali, Hindi etc. However, she candidly admits, 'Some of them are good while some are rubbish! But I am grateful for all my films.' On her directorial debut Konkona chose an offbeat subject for her directorial debut, and perhaps deliberately so. 'I directed Death in the Gunj which released in 2017. It got very good reviews and a few awards but did not do well at the box-office. But I'm not bothered. I made the film that I wanted to make. It was not a film for everyone. It was a meaningful film, and made on a small budget. And a few people appreciated it,' she says. As for working with her mother Aparna Sen, she adds, 'I would love to cast her, I am actually greedy to work with her. I'm hoping to do a film with her next year, perhaps in Bengali.' Being a single mom After being raised single-handedly by her mom, Konkona finds herself in the same situation with son Haroon Shorey, whom she describes as being 'not so little' anymore! 'He is a dramebaaz and a romantic,' says the doting mom, who says she's unsure of his plans later in life. 'I don't pretend to have control over things. I don't even know if he would listen to me after he grows up!' she shares. Konkona adds, 'My mom single-handedly brought up two girls, although my father was also a large part of my life. But that became my template. I felt it to be normal.' On relationships and marriage While her own marriage with actor Ranvir Shorey ended in a divorce, the two reportedly share a cordial relationship. But Konkona admits, 'Relationships are overrated. It would be nice to distribute work between partners. Also, your emotional reservoir does not have to be only your husband or wife. Eventually, it becomes very boring and repetitive.' The actress adds, 'It's nice to have different people in your life, be it your mother, your husband or friend. But sometimes, relationships are meant to last only for some time. It's better to live separately rather than not live happily together. Domesticity really kills romance! Being financially independent as well as having a house of your own is of utmost importance for a woman.' Her feminist outlook is on full display as she adds, 'We should stop changing our surnames after marriage. Just because we have always done it, we don't have to accept it forever. If we are taking our husband's name, we are taking it as our last name. Our maiden last name is becoming our middle name. Why go through the hassle of changing our names, passports... And who takes the middle name seriously? And what names are the children getting?' ...

New report sets out action plan to make Pune carbon neutral by 2030
We live in a tropical area, are dependent on the monsoon and have a large coastline so we will feel a lot of the impact,' said Prof Amitav Mallik, lead author of the 'Pathway to taking Pune to Carbon Neutrality by 2030', which released as part of the World Environment Day event organised by Pune International Centre (PIC) on Thursday. The report was released by Professor (Dr) Nitin Karmalkar, Vice-Chancellor, Savitribai Phule Pune University and Dr Raghunath Mashelkar, President, PIC. Eminent experts, a project team of PIC and Climate Collective Pune, among others, have worked towards creating this action plan. 'The report deals with the different challenges and scopes in various areas regarding carbon neutrality. We tried to put our understanding of working towards carbon neutrality into a coherent and official report,' said Mallik. He added that reduction in energy demand and low carbon lifestyle were the challenges when it came to achieving carbon reduction. 'We are aware that every human activity leaves a carbon footprint, so, if we decide to reduce our carbon footprint at the individual, household and institutional levels, we will make a substantial difference. Everything, from sustainability to preserving our future, depends on our consuming less. Unfortunately, we are going towards a Western culture that is oriented towards consumption rather than saving,' he added. Pune's per capita carbon dioxide emission was 1.42 tonnes in 2012 and increased to 1.64 tonnes per person in 2017. 'If everybody decides that they will not use diesel generators any more, lots of diesel generators can be phased out as people switch to solar power,' he said. Waste management, planting trees and creating gardens are among the other recommendations of the report. Mallik added that in a few years, more than 60 per cent of the global population will be living in cities. 'They will be responsible for more than 75 per cent of energy consumption and carbon emission. It is, therefore, the cities that must be proactive and Pune must take a leadership role,' he said.

Calcutta resident found with throat slit in his bedroom
She then called up her elder sister, who is married and lives at Batanagar. "According to Bijaeeta's statement, her elder sister Jayeeta told her to alert the police. She called the police and officers of Karaya police station went to the spot," said an officer at Lalbazar.The police found the main door bolted from inside. The old wooden door, however, yielded to a hard push. Basu was found sitting on his chair, bleeding profusely from his throat. A blood-soaked vegetable knife was found in the room.The elder daughter arrived soon after with her husband."The family members knew that the wooden door would give way if someone pushed it hard. It's surprising that the victim's younger daughter did not try to open the door when she found her father's phone switched off," an officer at Lalbazar said."She called up her elder sister and then the police but did not alert her neighbours, which is unusual, too.According to the family, the only thing that was missing from the house was the victim's mobile phone.Bijaeeta said in her statement to the police that she later called the number again and the call was answered by a man who said he had got the phone in Park Circus. Officers said they were yet to recover the phone.Basu's elder sister lives next door but the two families apparently are not in touch with each other."The Basus mostly keep to themselves. I last saw Biswajit Basu on Tuesday, when he was hiring a man to pluck jackfruits from a tree in his compound," said a woman who lives behind Basu's house.Next to the Basus' home is a small club where youths from the neighbourhood often gather."Kaku would not talk to anyone. He was a passionate Mohun Bagan supporter," said one of the youths in the club.Apparently, no one heard anything that could have made them suspicious.An officer said they were trying to find out whether the family was in touch with any promoter to develop the two-and-a-half-cottah property.Neighbours said a five-storey building had come up on a plot behind the Basu's house a couple of years ago.
