Parcel priority for India Post

We are developing our own warehousing capabilities that will take time. We are also looking at inter-circle movement of parcel mail by road transport," said Gautam Bhattacharya, the chief postmaster general of the Bengal circle.At a session of the Merchants Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Bhattacharya said from November, the department has introduced road transport from Calcutta to three locations with plans to add Ranchi as the volume grows. "For the railways now there are other priorities. Earlier, we used to have a full parcel van, whereas today it has come down to half or a quarter sometimes with the railways not in a position to spare that much space. For the airways, perishable goods get a higher preference. As a result, there is accumulation at our end. So, it has been decided to develop our own system to tackle the increased volume of parcel mail," Bhattacharya said.The Bengal circle has identified Calcutta, Siliguri and Durgapur as three major parcel hubs with spokes located at different cities to facilitate the movement of parcels.The department earned a revenue of Rs 98.45 crore in 2018-19 (up to February 2019) from business and express parcels. The market for parcels in the country is growing at a compounded rate of 15 per cent and is estimated to reach Rs 60,000 crore by 2026 from Rs 18,000 crore. India Post holds a market share of around 4 per cent by volume and around 5 per cent by revenues. The department is eyeing a 15 per cent market share by 2026.

Shami-mantra: Stay in line & let things fall into place

My thought process is to bowl lines that are as tight as possible. That makes the job easier."I've been using the width of the crease for the last two years. Things are falling into place doing so," he stressed.Led by Shami, India's quicks shared seven wickets among themselves in the first innings with the hosts firmly in the driving seat."When you take a wicket for India, you feel so well. When our unit, be it bowlers or batsmen, does well, we all enjoy and savour each other's success," Shami said.

Roaring sector that serves India like no other

For example, every rupee spent on the Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve in Telangana realises `7,488. Which other sector has such an investment multiplier potential! In fact, the total monetary value of benefits provided by all 10 tiger reserves is estimated to range from `5,094 crore to `16,202 crore. In the current economic scenario, when manufacturing and industry drive the economic growth and sustainability narrative, talking about the stellar role that tiger reserves play in serving India and its population may sound silly to some. But the truth is ecosystem services provided by the tiger reserves are invaluable. Employment generation, water conservation, sedimentation control, natural flood management and climate resilience are intangible benefits that must be valued and not just in economic terms. The study shows that the collective human health benefit offered by the reserves is estimated to be in the range of `11,014 crore to `34,593 crore a year. They offer protection from disease, predators and parasites, which when valued could go up to `24.15 crore. Most of India's major cities would struggle for water but for these tiger reserves. Union environment minister Prakash Javadekar rightly termed the reserves as engines of economic growth. Nonetheless, the environment versus development debate continues in India. Perhaps it's time the investment multiplier theory of tiger reserves finds a place in management classes.

Israel, Islamic Jihad cease fire after heavy Gaza fighting which claimed 32 lives

Al-Berim said the cease-fire was based on a list of demands presented by his group late Wednesday, including a halt to Israeli targeted killings of the group's leaders. Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee did not confirm any such deal, listing only Israeli accomplishments in the fighting while Israel's foreign minister said targeted killings of militants would continue. The fighting broke out early on Tuesday after Israel killed a senior commander of the Iranian-backed militant group who was said to be behind a string of rocket attacks and who Israel said was believed to be planning a cross-border infiltration. The rare targeted killing by Israel sparked the heaviest fighting with Gaza militants since May. Islamic Jihad fired some 400 rockets toward Israel, while Israel responded with scores of airstrikes. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said the policy of targeted killings had 'proved itself' and that it would continue, despite word of the cease-fire. 'Everyone who was a top military official, who was set to carry out and was involved in terror or rocket firing against Israel was eliminated,' he told Israeli Army Radio. 'And we intend to continue with this.' Gaza's ruling Hamas militant group, which is much larger and more powerful than Islamic Jihad, stayed out of the latest escalation — an indication that it would be brief. Palestinian officials reported 34 deaths, including a 7-year-old boy and six members of a single-family. At least 18 of the dead were militants. The rocket fire crippled life across southern Israel and on Tuesday, also in the country's heartland in and around Tel Aviv, as nonstop air-raid sirens canceled schools and forced people to remain indoors. At least three people were lightly wounded from shrapnel or shattered glass. Most rockets landed in open areas or were shot down by Israel's Iron Dome military defense system. Much of Gaza resembled a ghost-town, with almost no vehicles on the roads except for ambulances evacuating the wounded. Shortly after al-Berim's announcement, at least two rockets were fired out of Gaza, setting off sirens in southern Israel. It was not immediately clear who fired the rockets or whether the launches were intentional or misfires caused by electronic timers. But the Islamic Jihad said it was committed to ending the fighting, saying the fire was likely because word hadn't spread to all members about the halt to violence. Israel doesn't usually acknowledge deals with militant groups. But UN and Islamic Jihad officials were in touch Wednesday with Egyptian mediators, who typically broker agreements to end fighting in Gaza, and Israel did not respond to the rocket launch. , the Israeli military's Home Front command tweeted that it was lifting restrictions in certain areas but leaving them in place in the areas surrounding Gaza. In Gaza, cars could be heard back on the streets as the territory appeared to be springing back to life. Israeli military drones could still be heard buzzing overhead. Late Wednesday, Islamic Jihad's leader, Ziad al-Nakhalah, announced three conditions for an end to the fighting: an end to targeted killings, a halt in Israeli shootings of protesters at weekly demonstrations along the Israeli border and easing a 12-year-old Israeli blockade that has devastated Gaza's economy. Israel imposed the blockade after Hamas violently seized control of Gaza in 2007 from the internationally-backed Palestinian Authority. Israel considers Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which both seek its destruction, to be terrorist groups. The killing of Bahaa Abu el-Atta on Tuesday coincided with a strike in the Syrian capital of Damascus that targeted another Islamic Jihad commander. Israel hasn't claimed responsibility for that attack and the commander was not killed, but the strikes stepped up Israel's regional conflict with Iran and its proxies. Israel often strikes Iranian interests in Syria and the fresh fighting looked to awaken Israel's increasingly open conflict with Iran and its proxies in the region. Iran supplies Islamic Jihad with training, expertise and money. Although its base is Gaza, Islamic Jihad also has some of its leadership in Beirut and in Damascus, where it maintains close ties with Iranian officials. As Iran's proxy in Gaza, the group is key to Tehran's strategy of keeping the pressure on Israel on all fronts. Iran has forces based in Syria, Israel's northern neighbor, and supports Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. Israel has also claimed that Iran is using Iraq and far-off Yemen, where Tehran backs Shiite rebels fighting government forces and a Saudi-led coalition, to plan attacks against Israel. Hamas also receives some support from Iran. The violence came at a touchy time in Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads a caretaker government after two elections ended inconclusively and after he failed twice to form a governing coalition. Triggered by the targetted killing of a top militant in Gaza, the two sides had been exchanging fire since November 12, and Israel's military said it has recorded more than 350 incoming rockets. The Israeli military has been targeting what it said were Islamic Jihad militant sites and rocket-launching squads in the coastal Palestinian enclave of Gaza. ...

Tom Felton doesn't think Harry Potter cast will go for reunion

I think they'll take it further on in their own direction, but we're all still immensely proud to be part of it,' the actor told Red Carpet News TV. A spin-off prequel series started with 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, penned by Rowling, marking the beginning of the Wizarding World shared media franchise. Felton, 32, said he was happy to see the fandom grow. 'It's great to see it's been past down from generation to generation,' he said. 'But I can speak for the cast when I say we're very grateful for all of the support that's come our way over the last decade,' the actor added.

India ride on Mayank Agarwal's 243 to bully Bangladesh on Day 2

Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli were dismissed early on Day 2, but Ajinkya Rahane gave Agarwal able company throughout the day, as the two added 190 runs for the fourth wicket, taking the score beyond 300. But it was Agarwal who managed to overshadow a batting line-up that has Rohit Sharma (6), Cheteshwar Pujara (54 off 72 balls), skipper Virat Kohli (0) and Ajinkya Rahane (86 off 172 balls) in its ranks. 150 up for @mayankcricket. He&dhapos;s in top form at the moment.#TeamIndia 282/3 pic.twitter.com/GvdgLbYmof — BCCI (@BCCI) November 15, 2019 India stepped on the gas in the third session. Agarwal (243) and Wriddhiman Saha (12) perished in attempts to go for big shots. Umesh Yadav was promoted up the order for the cause and he delivered by hitting three sixes in his short stay. A whirlwind partnership of 123 in 23.5 overs with Ravindra Jadeja (60 batting) for the fifth wicket only added insult to injury for Bangladesh. On a pitch, where someone with express pace and variation was needed, the visitors fielded two specialist spinners in left-arm orthodox Taijul Islam (0/120 in 28 overs) and off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraj (1/115 in 27 overs). The spin duo was like lambs for slaughter as Agarwal went after them with all his might. All the eight sixes that he hit came off the two spinners. This apart, he also hit 28 boundaries during his career-best international score. Abu Jayed (4/108 in 25 overs) was the only bowler, who showed some heart getting the wickets of Pujara, Kohli and Rahane but his new ball Ebadot Hossain (1/115 in 31 overs) neither had pace nor the variation to trouble the Indian batsmen.
