60% of State’s cleared mines below water table HERALD REPORTER PANJIM, MAY 18
As the environmentalists cried foul over state government’s lethargy in curbing mining illegalities, the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) today said that 60 per cent of the State’s mines cleared by them were mining below water table level. “Our ministry has till date cleared 128 mining leases in Goa, of which nearly 60 percent are below ground water table level,” Dr S K Susarla, director, MoEF said However, she clarified that the ministry has suspended their environmental clearance for two years asking them to get back with the Hydro Geological Survey. “Many companies have responded to us and they have submitted the report,” Susarla added. The director said that Goa is one of the four States where mining takes place on large scale in South Zone (India). States like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are other three states in this zone. “South Zone has nearly 600 mines, which are monitored by the regional office in Bangalore,” she said.
Susarla was participating in the Goa level interaction between environmentalists and mining firms on the impact of mining on environment, an initiative by MoEF. The interaction saw environmentalists blaming the State
agencies for turning blind eye towards the illegalities in mining sector, which is the largest economic activity of the State. Environmentalists participating in the discussion highlighted the appalling situation on the illegal mining front. “The mining department and mine owners should tell us what exactly according to them is illegal mining because the department is pushing all faults under carpet stating that the
leases were operational under deemed provisions,” Fr Mavrerick Fernandes, executive secretary of Diocesan Service Centre for Social Action, said. Replying to the query, the representative from mines department explained that as per the MMRT Act all those mines which operate without lease are classified as illegal. “Most of the mining leases are declared under this act. But when we say illegal there is need to specif y what exactly we mean,” he stated. The official also clarified saying that mining activities in the State are not regulated by several legislations. The environmentalists during the discussion brought out various illegalities by the State government departments fostering illegal mining in the state. During the three hour long discussion environmentalists including Claude Alvares, Rajendra Kerkar, Ramesh Gawas, Seby Fernandes and others exposed the callous attitude of the State government in curbing irregularities and illegalities in mining. Alvares said that the mining firms forget to rehabilitate the mines after they are left redundant or unexplored.

Foundation stone for Mapusa fish market soon: MMC chief HERALD CORRESPONDENT PORVORIM, MAY 18
Mapusa Municipal Council Chairperson Roopa Bhakta has stated that the foundation stone for the new fish market will be laid in June. “Necessary fees have been paid to the Planning and Development Authority and the plan for the new fish market, approved by the Town and Country Planning Department, has been forwarded to the Goa State Urban Development Agency who will take up this project,” said Bhakta. Speaking to Herald, she said a meeting of councilors on Monday had deliberated on a number of issues, including the new fish market, vendors/hawkers problem, rent hike and proposed road in the Outline Development Plan 2011. “The MMC did not increase rent for shops in the municipal market for the last 13 years. In fact, as per directives from the Director of Municipal Administration, we were supposed to increase the rent in 1997. Other municipalities in the state have
n Necessary fees have been paid to the Planning and Development Authority and the plan for the new fish market, approved by the Town and Country Planning Department, has been forwarded to the Goa State Urban Development Agency who will take up this project. increased the rents of their shops.” “The failure to increase rents has led the MMC to a loss of over Rs 65 lakh. Mapusa Municipal Council has increased the rent by 10% only and this has
been done as per the rules,” the MMC chairperson added. She informed that the MMC had decided to allot space of 2 sq.mtrs to the vendors in the municipal market. “The vendors will have to operate within the demarcated areas. With this system, overcrowding of vendors in the market will be avoided,” said Bhakta. Commenting on the proposed road in the Outline Development Plan 2011, Bhakta said the MMC has decided to write to the Town and country Planning department to maintain the width of the road to 13 metres only. “The Mapusa Merchant Association has raised their strong objection to the proposed road of 20 metres in the ODP and hence this decision to maintain status quo in regard to internal roads of the market has been taken in the meeting,” Bhakta said. She also informed that desilting of drains and the main nallah in the municipal market will be done before the monsoon.

Madkaikar’s work in constituency commendable, says Kamat HERALD CORRESPONDENT OLD GOA, MAY 18
Cumbharjua MLA Pandurang Madkaikar may not have found a berth in Chief Minister Digambar Kamat’s cabinet, but that has not stopped the chief minister from lavishing praise on Madkaikar’s performace in Cumbharjua constituency. While inaugurating the new hall of the Carambolim panchayat, Kamat claimed that no other MLA has done the works that Madkaikar had done in his constituency. “I can say one thing that is since the time Madkaikar has been MLA of Cumbarjua constituency, he had done so many developmental works and I feel no other MLA could have done such works in Cumbharjua constituency,” said Kamat. In his address, Madkaikar claimed that previous MLAs had ignored development works in Carambolim village. “Since the last seven years as ML A of Cumbarjua constituency, I was able to do lot of developmental works for my constituency. My first priority was the construction of a 3-

Work on the Kusmalli-Kankumbi section of the Belgaum-Goa road via Chorla has resumed after yet another gap. The work had come to a halt since the last one month after it was restarted in March this year. It may be recalled that residents of Kankumbi in March had brought the work on the controversial Kalsa-Bhandura water diversion project to a standstill, forcing authorities to restart work on the dilapidated section between Kusmalli (Jamboti) to Chorla, after which it was restarted. However, though the work was restarted, the contractor had only filled the road with red
Shiv Sena backs Javed-Salim, calls them 'true Muslims' PTI MUMBAI, MAY 18
The Shiv Sena today came out in support of lyricist and Rajya Sabha MP Javed Akhtar, who is facing threat from hardliners after he criticised the fatwa issued by Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband against working Muslim women. In its mouthpiece 'Saamana', the party today showered praise on Akhtar and his one-time partner in script writing Salim, who together wrote a number of commercially successful and critically acclaimed films in the 1970s and 80s. "Here is a true Muslim," reads the headline of the editorial, which says Javed has given an apt reply to the fundamentalists in the community and "respected the sentiments" of Muslim women. "Both Salim and Javed have always raised voice against fanaticism among Muslims...Javed has received threats after he commented on the fatwa and called those issuing it stupid and 'insane', but he is not the one to be scared by such threats," the editorial said. "We wish him well in his mission," it said. The editorial also praises

"What are Muslim women supposed to do if they are not to get education, not to work? Only progressive people like Salim-Javed can lead Muslims from darkness to light, from Jehad to patriotism," it said.
Meanwhile, another controversy regarding the width of the road is making rounds as the contractor has maintained the width of this stretch to 3.75 meters, which may not be sufficient for the smooth commuting of the vehicles. Local MLA Prahlad Remani had said that the width of this road was to be maintained at 5.5 metres. KRDCL authorities have blamed the forest department for limiting the widening of this stretch, but forest authorities have denied the allegations. A senior officials from forest department said that so far KRDCL authorities did not carry out massive felling of trees at some of the areas of thick stretches across the section.

Residents and tourists will have more reasons to visit Bangalore's famous Lalbagh botanical gardens, with a 'rock garden' and 'musical fountain' all set to come up. Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and the State Horticulture Department have joined hands to build the "rock garden" and "musical fountain" Minister for Horticulture and Prisons, Umesh V Katti said the blue-print for the well-designed rock garden with seating arrangements is ready and would be established at a cost of Rs 30 crore. Musical fountain with lighting would come up with an investment of Rs 35 crore. "This musical fountain would be like the one in Singapore", he told reporters here. In 2009-10, Lalbagh botanical gardens collected a revenue of Rs 2.03 crore by way of gate entry fee and flower shows. Bangalore consumes 1000 tonnes of vegetables and fruits every day, while HOPCOMS, a government-driven venture, has the capacity to meet the requirements of 160 tonnes at the most, Katti said.

Mishap hits power supply at Rawanfond HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, MAY 18
A Scorpio jeep rammed against an electric pole near the military centre at Rawanfond, snapping power lines on Tuesday afternoon. The occupants of the jeep, however, escaped with minor injuries, sources said. The incident caused a loss of Rs 10,000 to the power department, but power officials promised to restore power supply in the area by evening. Police said the jeep went off the road and rammed against the electric pole. The impact was so great that the pole came down, snapping the overhead power lines. The services of the 108 Ambulance was sought by the authorities, but the occupants, who reportedly sustained only minor injuries, were taken for medical treatment in a private vehicle, the police said.
said it was the blessing of Lord Damodar and St Francis Xavier that helped Jakati to excel in the tournament. “When Jakati claimed the wicket of Tendulkar, it was the turning point for Chennai Super Kings,” he said. In his reply, Jakati acknowledged the love and affection shown by Goans when he was playing in the IPL and said that the felicitation from his own people was a special moment for him.

Govt to shift prisons from cities to outskirts PTI BANGALORE, MAY 18
Most prisoners in Karnataka may no longer "live" in cities once the government completes a Rs 40 crore project to shift prisons to the outskirts. Minister for Prisons, Umesh V Katti said the Government is embarking on the project to shift eight prisons in district headquarters, including in Shimoga, Hassan and Davanagere, to their outskirts. Bangalore prisons located in the heart of the city, where BJP stalwart L K Advani was incarcerated during Emergency, has already been
shifted to the city outskirts, with the existing premises having been developed as "Freedom Park". Meanwhile, the Government's efforts to hire private security guards for prison duty (not inside jails but for tasks such as frisking outside) have come to nought. He said there was no response from private security firms for government tender in this regard -- Government's clause that the firms need to be accredited and they need to have security personnel in excess 300 on their rolls is a deterrent as such agencies are not many.

Farm Sector Needs Proper Categorization
Vol No CX No: 130 Goa, Wednesday 19 May, 2010
Hidden figures, tall claims
O
nce again, we are reminded that it’s risky to go by the official claims. A report (‘KTC’s liability touches whopping Rs 48 crore’, Herald, May 18) reminds us of the need to both be careful while accepting the official word for it, and also for more stringent efforts by the citizen’s groups and watchdog bodies—which hardly exist—to ensure that tonnes of public money is not just washed down the drain, thanks to inefficiency, corruption and a bloated bureaucracy. While everyone and their dog is well aware that the Kadamba Transport Corporation is hardly an epitome of efficiency, it comes as a surprise indeed to learn that its loan liability is a huge Rs 48 crore, as the news reports have told us. Apparently, the KTC Limited has been taking loans and not paying back the same. There is talk of other money allocated to the KTCL being diverted to the public works department, and also the huge additional burden that the corporation has had to cope with after the Sixth Pay Commission. The KTC itself has an estimated staff of 1900. If KTC has such a huge staff, is the corporation’s results commensurate with its inputs and expenditure? While corporations like the KRC might be a good place to accommodate political supporters, it cannot just keep on expanding while not managing to offer results that Goa badly needs by way of public transport efficiency. Its poor results means that entire Goa suffers from severe inefficiencies when it comes to transport and communication. Another transport-related infrastructural project, the Konkan Railway, recently called itself “a dream come true” and an “art of engineering marvel”. It boasted about bringing down its net losses (from Rs 79 to 10 crore), and hiking its operational surplus (from Rs 224 crore to Rs 741 crore). These figures might seem impressive, but they definitely hide the reality. There were so many tall promises made when the Konkan Railway project was being justified, and also its failure to stick to a build-operate-transfer model. By now, it should have paid back all its loans and have been part of the Indian Railway network. Not only is this not achieved, but it it is still a single-track railway hopelessly inadequate to meet even inter-State transport needs, let alone replace the Goa-Mumbai buses as was once claimed it would! Other government-run corporations too make tall claims, and beat loud drums when they give governments a divident cheque. But such claims need to be measured against the crores invested in such bodies over the years, and also the fact that they have built up assets often based on undervalued public resources which don’t get adequately factored in. Government-run bodies need to deliver far more on accountability and efficiency.
Not by bans alone
A
sign of the time of today’s Goa is the way in which everyone is playing politics over the Margao Narkasura blasts. Chief minister Digambar Kamat is playing it safe, in his usual please-all style, and obviously doesn’t want to risk alienating any voters. Opposition BJP and its leader Manohar Parrikar has long been indulging in double-speak over this, and attempting to hunt with the hare and run with the hound. Since the BJP has some ideological affinity—and possible rivalry too—with the Sanathan Sanstha, this stand is not surprising. Even prominent ruling coalition politicians like Dhavlikar have their own interests at stake. The issue is not whether the Sanatan gets banned or not. The question is a far wider one: how sincere Goa is when it comes to dealing with communalism. It’s time everyone quit playing on words and stop taking refuge behind semantics. Goa needs to give a strong message that it will not tolerate any attempts to wreck the peace between communities. But, given the nature of politics here, and also the fact that sections of the media have long been dabbling in thinly veiled communalism, it would be surprising if this was actually attained.
Gutsy move Dr. Anil Dessai, Margao Recently, the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh transferred 40,000 police personnel from one district to another because of corruption and inefficiency. And now, the UP government sacked 1058 doctors for dereliction of duty. Kudos to Mayawati, the daring chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Can we do this in Goa? In Goa, the doctors, after receiving hefty salary and nonpracticing allowances, are running their private clinics and private practice in private hospitals, including minor and major operations. These doctors do not fear our goody goody Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat. We are, however, fortunate to have daring Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane, but he does not have the support of the chief minister to do anything worthwhile. Similarly, look at how our Health Ministry functions in the secretariat. The Public

Most laws enacted during British rule are still followed writes PRABHAKAR KULKARNI
he farm sector has received national status and entered into national agenda 60years after Independence. It is better late than never. Both the Union and state governments are now carrying out various schemes and activities to develop this vital sector in view of its national and international significance. But this vast sector is not properly categorized. As a result, various schemes and sectoral priorities are not getting as much attention and response as is necessary in national policy decisions. Various constituents and concerned organizations in planning, finance and government administration are therefore almost handicapped as far as introduction of schemes in proper categories like marginal or micro, small, medium and big farmers. There is also an unequal distribution of land. In our vast country, land is plenty and ownership of land is varied in various states. While the number of small land holders is much more than that of big landlords, proper and fool-proof categorization is needed so that help in the form of subsidies or credit with a zero or small interest rate, will be given to those who really need it and there need not be any undue distribution. Big landlords or jagirdars having vast acres of land mostly belong to former rulers of Indian states which were merged later, though their properties are kept safe. Most of them have entered into politics or have formed institutions and Trusts so that they get political shelter to preserve whatever they have gained in the form of ancestral assets. This is the reason why almost all right-wing political parties have Rajas and jagirdars or big landlords as party members and some of them have shared power, having been given the most coveted positions of state or central ministers. Big landlords having political connections have been disclosing their land holding at the time elections when those having hundred or more acres of land can be seen contesting elections on tickets of political parties or even as independents. This is acceptable in a democratic system. But in order to maintain equality and let the less fortunate come up to the normally respectable standards some arrangements have to be made and those having less land should be helped through the provision of facilities and subsides besides other opportunities. A similar scenario exists in industrial sector where big corporate giants have inherited assets
Land Laws from their ancestors and have continued the development process with expertise and managerial skill. They have received better treatment due to the priority given to industrial sector annually since Independence Independence. They are enjoying benefits of tax concessions, export subsidies, ample credit with concurrent credit facilities from different banks with negotiable interest rate. But in order to let all entrepreneurs including new generation get equal opportunities there should be a differentiation made, by categorizing the industrial sector into micro, small, medium and large or big industries. There should also be a clear-cut definition in order to let the concerned entrepreneurs get facilities due to the sector to which they belong. According to the criterion, micro is one having land and machinery worth Rs.25 lakhs, small is having land assets worth Rs.25 lakhs to Rs. 5 crores, medium is having assets from Rs.5 crores to 10 crores and large or big is from Rs. 10 crores and above. It is because of this categorization, that both the Union and state governments as well as banks and financial institutions have been able to provide all the facilities according to the specific categories. And, industrial development has received unprecedented boost to development and creating employment opportunities for new graduates and technical workforce. There must be a proper implementation of

he parrot snorted with contempt. I looked up from the newspaper. “A soccer-playing leopard with......green hair?” she screeched. I was reading the previews for the upcoming World Cup in June. It is not generally known that before South Africa settled on Zakumi, the leopard as its mascot for the 2010 World Cup, other candidates were considered. One of them was my parrot, Cocky the Cockatoo. When the invitation came from FIFA asking if Cocky would like to be the mascot, I told her: “It will be better if you accept, you will be famous in England, France, Spain, Germany, Europe, Africa, South America, etc.” Cocky said: “Sorry, I would prefer to be famous in America like Pele! Who has written the invitation - is it that senile old FIFA sap, Blatter?” “Do not be disrespectful. Sepp Blatter has no time to write letters to potential mascots,” I said, “He has got enough on his hands helping referees and Thierry Henrys cheat the Irish. I suggest you accept quickly, before they make some pig or dove the mascot for the World Cup.”
Health Department in the secretariat is the laziest and slowest in whole of Goa. Every paper, cases, proposals and claims, crawl in this department. People are the ultimate sufferers.

Debate needed Melson Louis, Margao M V River Princess will be completing a decade since it ran aground off Candolim beach in North Goa on June 6, 2000. HCN News and Entertainment channel has organized various mega debates concerning public issues affecting Goans and the State. It would be very interesting if the HCN channel could organize a mega debate on River Princess as this would give the people of Goa an opportunity to listen and know the views of expert government officials in the field of shipping and marine laws. The participating speakers could be from the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), Mercantile Marine Department, Customs, Director of Tourism and one representative of Congress and BJP party with the public as audience. The people of Goa have a right to know why such a prolonged delay still exists in finding a solution to clear the grounded vessel from its place.
Stipend plea Pravin Sardessai, Adpai In Goa, fisherfolk have been maintaining their families by selling fish During summer season, the availability of fish being quite large, they receive reasonable earnings by selling fish, either in the local market or by visiting various households. However, during the monsoons, the situation is quite different. Due to rough weather, no fish is available and this in turn, delivers a severe blow to the fisher folk who do not earn any amount during major part of the monsoons. Inorder to provide some relief to this community during the rainy season, it would be advisable for the State government to
policy decisions. As there is no clear definition of various categories like marginal, small, medium and big in the farming sector, it is high time that this criterion be defined. The definitions being followed at present in revenue administration and other sectors like banking and financial institutions are on an ad-hoc basis and without any proper and fool-proof measurement of land assets and the relevant categories. In view of categorization in the industrial sector, in the farming sector too, four categories may well be formed like micro or marginal, small, medium and big farmers. Farmers having land asset of three hectares Bagait (having water availability) and six hectares Jirait (without water availability) may well be included in the marginal or micro category. In rupee terms this category is up to Rs. 25 lakhs. Farmers having land asset of five hectares Bagait and 10 hectares Jirait can be termed as small while those having asset of 10 hectares of Bagait and 20 hectares will be termed as medium. The large or big farmers are those having above 20 hectares Bagait and 30 hectares of Jirait land. If such or similar categories are fixed, the government’s policy decisions which are beneficial to marginal and small farmers having majority in the farm sector will be duly implemented, and the subsidies and credit facilities as also fair prices of farm products based on cost of production will be properly ascertained.
In order to expedite the process of categorization, agriculture should be included in the Central list or concurrent list instead of in the state list as it is at present. The Union government will then be quite free to provide facilities directly without being solely dependent on states for implementation of projects and programs or states will be held responsible and susceptible for periodical assessment by the Centre to ascertain whether agricultural development projects with adequate financial assistance are properly carried out or not. The system will then be improved and agricultural development will get momentum due to fixed categorization and relevant facilities so that rural areas can create employment opportunities and mobility from rural to urban centers and consequent congestion in cities and metros will be checked. This is exactly what is needed for development of both rural and urban areas with infrastructural facilities and subsidies badly needed for proper development of agriculture which is equally important for addition to national wealth and prosperity as also for socioeconomic equality. Most of the laws enacted during British rule are still followed. The Land Revenue Code is an example. This code is still followed when dealing with land property in rural India. This Code which needs due modification. If agriculture is to be developed, proper legislation with due consideration of reality of the agriculture scenario in various states in the country should be enacted so that there is no legal hurdle and undue control of bureaucracy in farmers’ interests. The right to hold property is a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution, and no government should enforce its rules and procedures to curb this right. The reservation of agricultural lands for industrial purpose without consent of farmers or owners of land is detrimental to this constitutional right and state industrial development Acts should be duly modified to avoid confrontation between forcible land acquisition by government for industrial estates and resistance by farmers who come protest and agitate to obtain their rights. Such scenes are now frequent in various states after the historical agitation against Tatas in West Bengal. It is therefore time to amend the relevant laws in the the general interest of the Nation and that of Indian agriculture in particular.

In any case, I don’t want to be a mascot.” “There is a lot of money in it,” I said. “Everyone will buy your logo. Coca Cola, Pepsi, Kingfisher, United Breweries, Reliance, Air India! By the end of the World Cup, you could be richer than Lion’el Messi.” “Oh so now you are bringing a lion into it!” Cocky snapped coldly. “I think you are pushing because you want the money for yourself.” “You are hurting my feelings,“ I said. “After all I have spent on you!” “So that is how your mind works,” Cocky said. “Well, I will work for it and pay you back, but I am not going to be any stupid soccer mascot.” I said. “Forget money - think of the fame.

A lesson to learn
Dr. G.A. D'Costa, Dabolim
The recent formation of the coalition government in the United Kingdom. between the Conservatives and the Liberals, and the manner it was conducted was extremely interesting. Both leaders stuck to the core issues of their election manifestos; both leaders had to obtain the concurrence of the party and the elected representatives before proceeding; there had to be a written agreement between the party negotiators; and indeed the list goes on. Whether the coalition will last remains to be seen; but the principled maturity of the entire process was admirable. Watching the process of such a coalition unfold, I could not help comparing it to “coalitions” in India; and specially in Goa. The absence of horse trading, exchange of briefcases, and political prostitution was like a breath of fresh air in this garbage polluted state.It is indeed my dream that at least some of our politicians would have followed the developments and are stimulated to reflect on them. One can only hope. pay a certain amount of stipend to this category of people. This step will indeed help them a lot in satisfying their basic needs. Fishermen who have to pay monthly loan installments will receive the benefit to some extent incase this suggestion is brought into practice. A detailed list of fisherfolk must be framed so that the state government gets a clear picture about the total amount required for providing the necessary stipend.
Outplayed Mauro Fernandes, Anjuna Kudos to England for clinching their maiden world title in cricket, the T20 World Cup. Kangaroos till the final looked invincible but were truly outplayed in every department ,by the English, in the final. Paul Colingwood as captain, was brilliant. Kevin Pietersen and Graeme Swan excelled in batting and bowling respectively. It was a complete team effort from a team, sans big superstars, perhaps with the sole exception of Kevin Pietersen. When asked at the presentation ceremony, the secret of their unexpected success , Pietersen made a very strong point. He said that every time they go out in the practice session the boys are hungry for success they want to win all the time. And their body language and positive attitude showed, throughout the tournament. Something the Indian super-
stars cricketers have to learn from them . The Indian team showed no commitment at all. If you compare the Indian team with English, men to men on paper we are a far superior team . Yet we were knocked out quite early in the tournament. The captain, players and the coach should be made accountable and they should give a explanation to the cricket loving public, for such pathetic performance.
Tar balls
Lucas D'Souza, Qatar This is with reference to the above subject which appeared in your esteemed daily dated May 17 This marine pollution is blatantly done by the supertankers which ply on the Japan/Korea - Persian Gulf route. They do their tank washing mostly in the Arabian Sea area prior to loading their next consignment of crude oil as there is no surveillance in these areas. They dare not do it in the South China Sea or Malacca Straits as the laws are very stringent and the captain/owner can be jailed besides being fined heavily. It is high time our authorities increase their surveilance by latest satellite imagery or our Navy or Coast Guard to track these environmental criminals I have been a merchant navy officer for 30 years and one need not be a rocket scientist to know as to who is causing these disasters.
The south-west coast of India comes in the proximity /passage route of these tankers and so is highly prone to get the oil washed ashore due to the currents/swell. I hope better sense prevails and the marine authorities nip this in the bud before we have a major environmental disaster.
Paths of Wisdom
Parents woes
Tony Fernandes, Navelim With reference to the letter ‘Parents Woes’ ( Herald, May 14 ) the author has a valid point that parents of children in small private schools have become innocent victims of the fee hike dispute between management and few parents who found last years fee hike unreasonable and the action of these few has had a detrimental affect on many. Now that the managements view of the fee hike has been accepted by the DOE, parents who were part of the fee hike agitation will fear that these schools should not be vindictive towards their children.
Fleeing squads Soter D'Souza, Socorro The report 'Tottewada's mangrove trees gone?' (Herald, 15/05/10) is really shocking. Herald reporters deserve to be commended for bringing to light the contradiction in the government's claims about protecting Goa's eco-sensitive zones.Shame on these captains and chieftains that descend on Goa to destroy the fragile ecosystems on the pretext of constructing dry docks to create employment for locals. What is even more disturbing is that the government authorities who are paid by the public to enforce the law are claiming that no complaint has been recieved by them to warrant any action. Such officers must be sacked immediately. All that talk about 'flying squads' being put in place is rubbish as it appears that the Digu Government is more interested in cultivating ' fleeing squads' that can help destroy the eco-sensitive zones as soon as possible. The destruction of mangroves along Ribandar Patto is going on right under the nose of the TCP department which is situated just a few metres away. Destruction like that in Naroa at Bicholim is like a slap on the face of Goans from these arrogant outsiders.
Faith During the Second World War, a steamer carrying Indian Sepoys was bombed by the Japanese and sunk. Many lost their lives. Five among them managed to row their lifeboat and hoped to have a chance of surviving in spite of the surging Ocean. They were tossed about for many hours. One of them became desperate and cried: “The sea will swallow me. I will be a meal for the sharks”. In that panic, he got drowned. Another sepoy wept for his family: “Oh, I am dying without arranging for the future of my family.” He too lost faith in his survival and breathed his last. The third sepoy thought: “I have with me the Policy and documents of Insurance. What a pity!” I should have kept them at home. What will my wife do? I am sure to die.” He also died. The other two men reinforced each other’s faith in God. They said: “We shall not yield to fear. We shall prove that however desperate the situation may be, God will certainly protect man if he has faith in Him.” Even as they were talking like this, a helicopter sent from a coastal ship which had received signals for help, caught sight of these two men and hauled them up. When they were safe on land, they said, “It is only five minutes between victory and defeat. Faith earned the victory; lack of it brought about defeat and death.” (Courtesy:Stories and parables “Oka Chinna Katha”)

LTTE is regrouping in BJP backs Chidambaram on Naxal issue, attacks Sonia Tamil, says home ministry PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
BJP today accused UPA chief Sonia Gandhi and other top Congress leaders of supporting a "softline" towards Naxals and warned that giving a "limited mandate" to Home Minister P Chidambaram in the fight against the menace was akin to waging a losing battle. Batting for Chidambaram, who had yesterday said that he was given a limited mandate on the issue of taking tougher action against the Naxals, the BJP hit out at the Congress-led government for waging a "halfbattle" against the Maoists, who blew up a bus yesterday in Dantewada killing 35 people. "Chidambaram appeared to be an injured martyr. He looked disheartened...He claimed he had only a limited mandate from the Cabinet Committee on Security as against the larger mandate that he desired," Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley said at a press conference here. "It is time the Prime Minister stood up and spoke on the issue and told the nation what
are his views on the subject. Is he only in favour of a limited mandate to fight the Maoists?," he said. He asked the government whether the country would see a "half-battle" against Maoists or it will use all national security resources to eradicate naxalism. Referring to Gandhi's recent letter in a Congress journal addressed to her party workers, the BJP leader alleged that it showed that she lent support to the softline on Maoists. This meant Chidambaram had a limited mandate - as he himself stated in an interviewto fight naxalism, he said. He claimed that while the opposition was lending all support to the fight against Maoist violence, Congress and the UPA were involved in demoralising the security apparatus. "It is no longer peripheral leaders who want a soft stand against the Maoists. It is the Centre-stage leadership of the party, which has now supported that stand," he said. This is akin to fighting Maoists with one hand tied, he added. "A half battle against
Maoists can never succeed. A half battle is a losing battle," Jaitley said. Jaitley maintained that there are no two views on the need for a multi-pronged approach to fight the Maoists. The Rajya Sabha MP also rubbished arguments that lack of development was the prime cause of Naxalism. "India cannot accept the logic that Maoists are merely misguided ideologues. They are a violent and brutal organisation who with the use of force want to overthrow India's P a r l i a m e n t a r y democracy....There will be no space for ideological dissent. Elimination of opponents and dissenters will be the rule," Jaitley said. He maintained that if development alone could solve the problem, the entire nation would welcome it. "But in order to ensure development and poverty eradication in the secluded Maoist dominated areas, they must first be entered to establish the rule and governance of the civilian administration," he said.
Forest land transfer to Posco to be stalled? HERALD BUREAU NEW DELHI, MAY 18
The Ministry of Environment and Forests on Tuesday put out an "update" on the integrated steel plant and captive port of POSCO-India Private Limited, with hints to stop the Orissa government from transferring 1253 hectares of forest land to the company for non-compliance of conditions laid down in the final approval of land diversion given on December 29. Sources said the "update" is to nail the lie of the state government that no compensation and rehabilitation of the tribals and other forest dwellers was required as none exist on the land to be given for the project. The conditional approval had stressed that the project can go ahead only after all the 15 conditions are met and that include the consent of tribal people and other traditional forest dwellers as per the provisions of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest
Rights) Act, 2006. The ministry wrote a letter to the Orissa Government on January 8, seeking clarification on the consent clause as it became aware of the tribals and local people refusing to accept the rehabilitation package of the company to vacate their cultivable land. The state government, however, took a stand in its reply on March 16 that there are no tribal people in the proposed POSCO area either cultivating or residing in the forest land and that no other traditional forest dwellers are in possession or cultivating land since last three generations (75 years). The ministry, however, felt a rat as the whole proceedings of settlement of the rights under the 2006 forest right act were in Oriya language and so it wrote back on April 15 to provide an English translation. This appears to have put the state government in difficulty as it did not respond till date. POSCO India had signed an
MoU (memorandum of understanding) with the Navin Patnaik government back in 2007 to invest Rs 51,000 crores in a 12 metric tonne per annum capacity steel plant in Jagatsinghpur district near Paradip port, but its project is held up for over three years for want of land that the state government had promised to provide. In June 2007 the Orissa Government sought permission to convert forest land for the project. The ministry granted "in principle" permission over a year later on September 19, 2008 but with 13 conditions to be fulfilled. On December 3, 2009, the state government submitted a compliance report on these conditions and secured a final approval from the ministry for diversion on December 29, 2009. The ministry, however, piled up 15 conditions to be met before the land can be transferred to the company and it is now trying to make use of these conditions to prevent the project from going ahead.
Sajjan gets time to reply to CBI application on typo errors PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
A Delhi court today allowed a plea of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar to file his reply to CBI's application that has pointed out typographical error in the order on framing of charges against him in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta gave Kumar time till May 19 to respond to CBI's contention that there was a typographical error with regard to a Section of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the order on charges pronounced by the court. In an application, CBI counsel D P Singh requested the court to bring changes to rec-
tify the error saying that in the order on charges, Section 339 (wrongful restraint) has been mentioned instead of section 449 (house trespass). Kumar's counsel I U Khan sought a copy of CBI's application and requested the court to give it to him to file the reply, which was permitted. The ASJ had on May 15 ordered framing of charges against Kumar under various provisions of the IPC including Sections 302 (murder), 395 (dacoity), 427 (mischief to property), 153A (promoting enmity between different communities) after finding prima facie evidence against him. The framing of charges will pave the way for trial in the 26-
year-old case. The Delhi High Court had in February this year issued direction to the lower court to complete the trial of anti-Sikh riots cases within six months. CBI has accused Kumar of provoking people against members of a particular community during the carnage that followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984, leading to the killing of five persons in Delhi Cantonment area. In his defence, Kumar had claimed before the lower court that the accounts of CBI witnesses were not reliable as they had changed their versions a number of times.
Leopards battling for survival, 160 killed this year so far PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
Like tigers, endangered leopards too are battling for survival with as many as 160 already dead so far since this January in the country against 290 last year. The trend is not recent phenomenon. In the last 12 years since 1994, India has lost atleast 3,189 leopards, according to an estimate by an NGO, Wildlife Protection of India (WPSI). A member of the Felidae family and the smallest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera, the other three being the tiger, lion and jaguar, the leopard count is estimated to be between 7,000 to 10,000 in the country. In India, the leopard is protected under Schedule-I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972.
"Also, as it is easy to trap leopards, the wildlife smugglers find them as perfect replacement for tigers to feed the illicit global demand for big cat skins along with the bones for use in traditional medicine in countries like China," says WPSI head Belinda Wright. Leopard coats and trimmings are also used for traditional dances and festivals, and are sold quite openly in Tibet. The frequent seizures have established this link. In March, two leopard skins were seized in Hapur in west Uttar Pradesh by the state's Special Task Force. Two traders were arrested who confessed of their plans to sell them out of the country. In yet another raid conducted by Tamil Nadu Forest Department in Hosur during the year, two leopard skins
were recovered and three persons, including one who reportedly confessed to poaching the animals, were apprehended. The gun used to kill the leopards was recovered too. "This shows that the poachers are active in killing the animal and selling them through wildlife trade," a senior official from Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) said. The Central Bureau of Investigations' wildlife crime cell has estimated that for every tiger skin, there are at least seven leopard skins in the haul. In 2004, a seizure in Tibet of 31 tiger skins yielded 581 leopard skins. Apart from shrinking forests, adaptive migration nature of the predatory felines is bringing them towards human habitats resulting in severe man-animal conflict.
HERALD BUREAU NEW DELHI, MAY 18
India has extended the ban on Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers on the ground that its cadres are regrouping in Tamil Nadu to take revenge against Indian leaders for not preventing its military rout last year. Although the Sri Lankan military has decimated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), its surviving members are "regrouping in Tamil Nadu in pursuance of their avowed objective of establishing separate Tamil Eelam," said the notification issued last week banning it for another two years. India first outlawed the LTTE in 1992 after the Tigers assassinated former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
The notification takes note of the Tamil diaspora in the West through Internet portals spreading "anti-India feeling among Sri Lankan Tamils by holding the top Indian political leaders and bureaucrats responsible for the defeat of the LTTE." "Such propaganda through internet ... (is) likely to impact VVIP security adversely in India," it added. Sri Lankan armed forces crushed the LTTE in May last year, killing its top leader Velupillai Prabhakaran and all his top lieutenants, destroying a once feared insurgent group in one stroke. The defeat ended a quarter century long conflict that claimed about 90,000 lives on all sides of the ethnic divide. Noting that the LTTE has
sympathisers, supporters and agents in India, the notification says the LTTE's objective of a separate homeland for all Tamils "threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India." It said the activities of the LTTE cadres, dropouts and sympathisers who have been traced out in Tamil Nadu "suggest that the cadres sent to Tamil Nadu would ultimately be utilised by the LTTE for unlawful activities." It said the Indian government felt that LTTE activities "continue to pose a threat to India, and are detrimental to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India." Therefore, it said, the LTTE needed to remain a banned organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act of 1967.
Education for Muslim girls important, mandatory: fatwa PTI LUCKNOW, MAY 18
After fatwas by Darul Uloom Deoband that it was un-Islamic for women to work in close proximity to men in offices and for her family to accept her earnings, an Islamic seminary here has said that education for Muslim girls was not only important, but also mandatory. "Education is mandatory for every Muslim, whether male or female," Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali of Darul Uloom Farangi Mahal said in a fatwa while quoting Hadees and Sharia. The fatwa was issued on a query posted by Huma Khawaja seeking clarification on girl's education, Uloom's secretary Naeemurrehman said. The fatwa stated that the man has come in this world for enlightenment and spreading knowledge in society. "Much emphasis is given on education," it said.
"A man who gets his daughters and sisters educated, teaches them etiquette, treats them well and marries them would go to heaven," it added. The fatwa said that Islam not only promoted education for one's own children, but even for servants. "As the mother is close to her children, being educated is very important for her," it said. It said that from the quotes of Hadees it was evident that much importance had been given on women education in Islam. "It is mandatory for every Muslim to ensure proper education to his daughter at any cost," it said. The Darul Uloom said that illiteracy was a major reason behind the downfall of Muslims. "Women education is the first step towards progress and social reform. Any laxity would be considered as a big mistake," it added.
Party tussles have not hit APPOINTMENTS performance: Kerala CM PTI THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, MAY 18
As the CPI(M)-led LDF Government in Kerala entered its fifth year in office, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan today said internal tussles in the state unit of his party had not affected its performance. "Welfare, development and peace" had been the motto of the government and it would go ahead confidently with people's support in its final year, he told a press conference here. Rubbishing the charge that his government did not get the full support of the party controlled by rival faction loyal to state Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, he said "successful implementation" of policies and
Rabri Devi surrenders in court, granted bail PTI CHAPRA (BIHAR), MAY 18
RJD leader and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi today surrender before a Chapra court in connection with a case charging her with making abusive remarks against former state JD(U) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The leader of opposition in the Bihar Assembly surrendered before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Y N Singh who granted her regular bail. The court on May 6 had issued non-bailable warrant of arrest against Rabri Devi for her alleged remarks against Rajiv Rajan Singh alias Lalan and Kumar during electioneering for the 2009 Lok Sabha polls at Garkha for drumming up support for her husband and RJD chief Lalu Prasad from Saran parliamentary constituency. Sanjiv Sekhar, the then Subdivisional officer, had filed the case against Rabri Devi after she had made the alleged uncharitable utterances.
Govt to explore ways to clean river Ganga PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
As part of efforts to clean river Ganga, the government has invited Expression of Interest (EOIs) from global consultants to prepare a river management plan. "The Environment Ministry intends to hire reputed organisations or individuals for exploration of ways of bringing life back to the river. We have already received USD 2.96 million World Bank aid for comprehensive management plan preparation," a senior official said. He said mainstreaming of environmental flows into the Ganga river basin planning is vital for protecting health of the river, conserving its aquatic biodiversity, and supporting the human livelihoods and poverty reduction through sustainable use of water resources. The objective of this consultancy will be to compile the available knowledge on ecological flows for river Ganga, and to organize seminars for consultation with relevant experts and stakeholders for exploring possible ways of implementing ecological flows.
programmes was enough to take the wind out of this propaganda. Asked if there was an immediate chance of his reinstatement to the CPI-M Politbureau, from which he was dropped an year ago at the height of factionalism, the 86-year old veteran said he did not intend to conduct a media debate on party issues. Asserting that the government still enjoyed the support of all sections of people, he said the opposition Congressled UDF was torn by disunity with the recent move of Kerala Congress (Mani) to bring Kerala Congress(Joseph) into its fold to bargain for more seats in the next year's assembly polls. Reeling out a string of welfare schemes initiated in the last four years like debt relief for farmers and fishermen, Rs two a KG rice for 3.6 million families, he said the government had also performed well on development front. On the UDF observing the anniversary as "betrayal day", Achuthanandan said it was actually a "day of liberation" for vast sections of people who had benefited from the government's schemes. On the eviction drive of encroachers from public lands in the hill resort town of Munnar, Achuthanandan said the government was able to retrieve more than 12,000 acres. However, some problems cropped up and the mission could not be continued with the same vigour, he said. The government was still in the
process of evicting illegal occupiers from government land, he said. 'The government is going ahead with the aim of recovering as much land from the encroachers and handing over the same to the landless", he said. Terming as 'unfortunate' the recent police lathicharge on people protesting against government move to acquire land for road widening in Kinaloor in Kozhikode, Achuthanandan said government effort would be to settle the matter very amicably by holding talks with the concerned people. 'This kind of untoward incident should have been avoided', Achuthanandan said adding the reaction of the local people, whose lands would be acquired, was 'quite natural'. On future development plans, he said the second phase development of IT-Infopark in Kochi would be taken up soon. It would generate more than one lakh new jobs. Stating that the LDF Government initiated various steps to boost IT sector, Achuthanandan said value of IT exports had increased from Rs.680 crores in 2006, to Rs.3,000 crores now. The basic infrastructure for IT sector had increased four fold, he added. Another achievement was providing land to landless. More than one lakh people were given title deeds and the scheme to give land to tribals who lost their lands was nearing completion, the Chief Minister said.

UGC notifies tough regulations for affiliation of colleges PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
An aspiring college needs to have at least two acres of land and facilities in metro cities or five acres of area with adequate infrastructure and faculty in non-metros for getting affiliation from a university, according to a new regulation of UGC. The UGC (Affiliation of Colleges by Universities) Regulation 2009, which has already come into force, stipulates
stringent norms for grant of affiliation by universities to aspiring colleges. The regulations say that new institutions will have to get temporary affiliation after which it can be considered for permanent affiliation by a university. "This is the first of its kind regulation for affiliation of colleges. The UGC had issued certain guidelines on affiliation in
2000-01. While the guidelines were more advisory in nature, the recently notified regulations are binding on institutions and the violations are punitive," a senior UGC official told PTI. For temporary affiliation, an institution needs to have administrative, academic and other buildings with sufficient accommodation to meet the immediate academic and other space requirements.

Girl shot dead at Cuncolim guide the Cuncolim police in the investigations. He told Herald that the police are collecting clues as part of the investigations to nab the assailant. Cuncolim MLA and Urban Development Minister, Joaquim Alemao also visited the spot late this evening. The police has constituted teams to nab the assailant, even two police teams were sent to North Goa, including one in Pernem to collect clues. The police also combed the industrial estate area, even as Albuquerque said the police had detained some persons in connection with the incident.
Trailer laden with liquor... Incidentally, officials at the Pernem excise office claimed they were unaware of the raids. PANJIM REPORTER ADDS: Giving details of the raid, Excise Commissioner P S Reddy said the trailer which was passing through the Patradevi check post was intercepted by excise officials, at 4 am. “When the driver was questioned he showed papers that the vehicle was carrying 800 bags of chanagram cattle-feed,” he said adding “however the officials knew that the feed is not normally carried in containers.” Reddy said when the driver was asked to open the container it had barrels inside. Smelling something fishy as feed is normally carried in bags, the officials checked all the barrels 128 in numbers and found 20,000 litres of extra neutral alcohol, which is used for preparing whisky etc, he said. Upon inquiries the driver said the consignment was to be delivered to M/s Hiremath, near Margao railway station, Reddy stated. “We are sending the sample of the alcohol to the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) for testing and depending on that we will take action,” The commissioner who took over recently from Sandip Jacques said. Asked about the worth of the liquor, he replied, “In the market it is worth 20 lakhs but in black market it could worth more than 45 lakhs.” To a query, Reddy said “According to the driver, named Aslam, the vehicle had come from Indore in Madhya Pradesh and was loaded only in Rajapur, Maharashtra.” Opposition leader Manohar Parrikar during the budget session of assembly had alleged a Rs 40 crore excise scam involving top officials. Asked whether he suspects involvement of any excise official in the case, he said “It was too early to comment.” However, Reddy did not rule out possibility of a bigger alcohol import scam in the State. “All I can say is we are tightening the noose now,” he stated.
60% of State’s cleared mines... “There are 10 mines in Netravali wildlife sanctuary which were left without rehabilitation by their owners after Supreme court ordered their closure,” Alvares said. Goa Mineral Foundation (GMF), a non-governmental organization formed by mining firms, defended the allegations of non environment friendly mining in the state. “We are interested in rehabilitating the abandoned mines if land owner gives us No Objection Certificate (NOC),” GMF Chief Executive Officer Swaminathan Sridhar, said. He said that the NGO is ready to give back the land to the land owner or government after it is properly rehabilitated. However, noted lawyer Norma Alvares feels that the process of rehabilitation needs to be done by the State government instead of asking the mining companies to do it on their own. “There are chances that the mining companies might sell out their land after rehabilitation. So if there is enough fund, the government need to take the initiative,” she suggested. She also demanded that mining without environmental clearances must be halted .

India, Pak not destined as adversaries forever: envoy PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
Terming resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue process as a significant development, Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik today said the interaction will help bridge the trust deficit between the two countries which are not destined to live as "adversaries forever". Observing that as developing countries both India and Pakistan share common perspective on a number of issues, he said in the fast changing global environment, there was a need to consult and co-ordinate efforts to achieve the goal of peace and development. "..Towards the achievement of this goal... we held a very fruitful discussion recently in Bhutan in Thimpu. It was agreed to resume the dialogue process and that is a significant development," Malik said. "...The agreed road map in Thimpu will see the Home Minister of India visiting Pakistan along with the Foreign Secretary later next month fol-
13 killed in Pak attack PTI PESHAWAR, MAY 18
A suicide bomber blew himself up near a police vehicle in Pakistan's troubled northwest today, killing 13 people, including a senior police officer, and injuring 15 others. The bomber, who was riding a bicycle, exploded his explosive vest as the police van passed through Kachi Paind Khan neighbourhood on the outskirts of Dera Ismail Khan city in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa province, police said. Deputy Superintendent of Police Iqbal Khan, his bodyguard and driver, three children and a woman were killed in the attack. Khan was driving from his home to work when the suicide attacker struck. Several policemen and passers-by were among the injured. Witnesses said that the police van and an auto-rickshaw were destroyed by the blast. Earlier reports had said the police van was targeted with a bomb hidden in the auto-rickshaw. Law enforcement personnel cordoned off the site of the attack as extra contingents of police were deployed in the area. No group claimed responsibility for the attack but authorities usually blame such strikes on pro-Taliban militants. Militants regularly target security forces and police in their bloody campaign against the government in Pakistan's northwest.
lowed by visit of the Foreign minister of India to Pakistan on July 15," he said at the Indo-Pak business meet, also attended by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. Malik also hoped that the visits and the interaction between the leaders of two countries that will follow will help bridge the trust deficit and generate enabling environment to take the peace process forward. "We can remain convinced that Pakistan and India are not destined to live as adversaries forever," he said. The Pakistani envoy also complimented Mukherjee, saying, "I would like to pay tribute and compliment the efforts put in by the present Finance Minister and formerly the Foreign Minister of India Pranab Mukherjee." Asked how his country was planning to tackle terror, Malik said that both sides have agreed that they must do it together and there has to be cooperation to eliminate the menace.
Political deadlock continues in Nepal NC, Maoists parleys fail PTI KATHMANDU, MAY 18
High level parleys to end political stalemate in Nepal failed today with the Maoists sticking to their demand that Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal should resign to pave the way for a national government. The talks held between Unified CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda and acting Nepali Congress President Shushil Koirala in Kathmandu to end the political deadlock failed to yield any concrete result as the two sides stuck to their stands. NC asked the Maoists to take the peace process to its logical end by integrating and rehabilitating the Maoist combatants before discussing the issue of power sharing. "We have also asked the Maoists to return the seized land and house belonging to different people and to dissolve the paramilitary structure of the Young Communist League of the Maoists so that an atmosphere of trust could be created," the party's president Shushil Koirala told PTI. The Nepali Congress wants to see completion of the peace process and to move ahead the process of drafting the constitution, he said. However, Maoist supremo Prachanda has demanded that Prime Minister Nepal should first quit in order to pave way for forming a national consensus government. This was the first meeting between Nepali Congress and the UCPN-Maoist after the government registered a motion in the Parliament seeking extension of the Constituent Assembly that expires on May 28. The Maoists have been opposing the government's move saying that they would not support such a deceptive move of the government without consulting the main opposition. The two sides, however, agreed to continue their dialogue in order to find a way out from the current political stalemate. Earlier, Maoists had said that they are open to discuss an alternative to party chief Prachanda as their prime ministerial candidate, but within their own ranks. "We are ready to discuss about the alternative to Prachanda as prime ministerial candidate from within the party, but not from outside the party," UCPN-Maoist spokesperson Dinanath Sharma had told PTI. His remarks over the issue came in the wake of media reports that intra-party rift has widened in the Unified CPN-Maoist over the issue of electing a new Prime Minister.
Thai protesters agree to talks to end violence Reuters BANGKOK, MAY 18
Thai anti-government protesters agreed today to talks brokered by a Senate leader to end Thailand's deadliest political crisis in nearly two decades and halt spiraling violence that has killed 38 people in five days. Troops have surrounded thousands of anti-government demonstrators in the fortified camp they have occupied since April 3 in central Bangkok. Pockets of violence have erupted in several other parts of the capital in recent days. ''We have agreed to take a new round of talks proposed by the Senate because if we allow things to go on like this, we don't know how many more lives will be lost,'' Nattawut Saikua, one of the ''red shirt'' leaders, told a news conference. The talks would be led by a group of 64 senators who offered to mediate with the protesters and want a ceasefire on both sides. The government's response to the offer was not immediately known, but Nattawut, speaking inside the protesters' fortified camp, said it was in the interests of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to seek a negotiated end to the unrest. ''There has never been a prime minister that could secure victory by killing people. That could only be achieved through winning the hearts and minds of the people,'' he said. An estimated 5,000 of the red-shirted protesters remain in a camp covering 3 sq km of an upmarket shopping district, set up as part of a movement that began in mid-March with the aim of toppling the government and forcing elections. The authorities had warned them to leave by 3 pm yesterday,
but the deadline passed without action being taken. Hundreds of women and children took refuge in a temple inside the protest area, but some protesters fought with soldiers in areas around the camp. Red shirt leaders have previously proposed a ceasefire and talks moderated by the United Nations, which the government dismissed. On Monday, they said they would accept talks as long
as a neutral arbiter took part and troops withdrew. ''The government cannot entertain demands from the protesters,'' said Korbsak Sabhavasu, a senior aide to the prime minister earlier today. ''The best way forward is to stop talking about negotiation and for the protest leaders to call their people back to the Rachaprasong rally area and stop the violence,'' he added.
Judge rejects libel action brought by Sikh PTI LONDON, MAY 18
A libel action brought by the leader of a Sikh faith from India against a British journalist from the same religion has been rejected by the High Court here. Sant Baba Jeet Singh, head of Nirmal Kutia Johal, attempted to sue Hardeep Singh over an article written by the latter in a British newspaper. A judge yesterday refused to let the case go ahead. Writing in The Sikh Times in 2007, Hardeep said Jeet Singh was an "accused cult leader" whose teachings contradict true Sikh teaching. Jeet was also accused of heading a cult, promoting blasphemy, sexual exploitation of women and disturbing the peace of the British Sikh community by laying claim to three gurdwaras in the UK.
2 German girls held hostage in Yemen freed, says Saudi REUTERS RIYADH, MAY 18
Saudi Arabia's security forces have freed two German girls held hostage in neighbouring Yemen, an interior ministry spokesman said today, but there was no word on the fate of four other hostages seized alongside them. ''Saudi Arabia has retrieved two German children kidnapped in Yemen,'' a Saudi interior ministry spokesman said. ''The two children were in a border area between the two countries among a group previously kidnapped by criminal elements last year.'' A German family of five and a Briton have been m i s s i n g i n Ye m e n s i n c e last June, held by kidnappers who the government believes have links to al Qaeda. There was no immediate word on the fate of the other hostages. The missing Europeans were among a group of nine foreigners kidnapped in the northern region of Saada, of which three women two Germans and a South Korean -- were later found dead. The German embassy in Riyadh said the girls were being taken for medical checks, according to the Saudi state news agency.
Sikh shot dead in Vancouver PTI TORONTO, MAY 18
In a case of targetted killing, a 32-year-old Sikh businessman was gunned down outside his posh home in Vancouver by unidentified persons, Canadian police said. A married father of two, Chhminder Singh Gill, died minutes after he was hit by a flurry of shots midnight Sunday. Court records show Gill was found guilty of a 1999 offence in Maple Ridge of "providing false or misleading information" and sentenced to pay a fine of 3,000 dollars and restitution of 2,660 dollars, the local media reported. Paramedics worked on Gill in the garage for about 40 minutes but were unable to save him, police said. "Investigators are in the process of developing a profile to see what business relationships he had, what personal
dealings he had," RCMP Cpl Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team told the CBC news. The police made no arrests and have not named any suspect so far. Neighbours told the police they heard someone cheering in a vehicle as it left the scene after the shooting. "I lost count at five [shots]," an ear-witness said. "It was not an accident, that's for sure." Gill is listed as director of Sumas Valley Berry Farm Ltd in Abbotsford. He was a partner with Davinder Singh Deol and his wife in the berry farm. Gill and his family had not lived in the house for long. "He hasn't even been there for a year," said another resident on the street. He was a nice guy who kept to himself, cut his own lawn and played with his kids, the neighbour said.
India, Iran discuss Af-Pak situation PTI TEHRAN, MAY 18
India and Iran today discussed the Af-Pak situation, with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad highlighting the need for the two nations to work together on regional issues. External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, who was here representing India at the meeting of G-15 developing nations, called on Ahmadinejad this morning and discussed bilateral and regional issues. "The two leaders talked about situation in the region," Indian spokesperson said after the near 30 minute meeting that was described as "warm and cordial interaction". "It (Af-Pak situation) was briefly mentioned... The two leaders touched upon the situation in the region," he said. The Iranian President wanted the two nations to be in touch on regional issues, the spokesperson said. "Referring to regional situation, the President underlined the desirability (and) need for India and Iran to be in touch (and) to work together. "India has always played an important role in global affairs including NAM and G-15 organisations," the official said. Krishna also conveyed the greetings of President Pratibha Patil and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the President, and to the leadership and people of Iran.
"External Affairs Minister congratulated the President and the Iranian Government for the very successful hosting and conduct of the G-15 Summit and excellent arrangements made," the spokesperson said. Recalling India's civilisational links with Iran, Krishna noted that the two nations were neighbours (before India's partition) and have always been good friends. Ahmadinejad warmly welcomed the External Affairs Minister and echoed his sentiments, saying India and Iran had joint roots. He also expressed satisfaction that Indo-Iran Joint Commission would take place shortly which would "give impetus to cooperative and multi-faceted ties". The last Joint Commission meeting was held about 18 months ago here and the next meeting is planned in New Delhi. Iran, he said, was happy to see India's economic development and progress which was good for the region. The President requested Krishna to convey his greeting to the President and Prime Minister of India. Krishna thanked the President of Iran for receiving him warmly.

India asks Pak for list of negative imports PtI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
In order to improve bilateral trade, India today asked Pakistan to clearly spell out the items it would not like to import from Indian traders. "Most important factors to my mind to improve the economic cooperations between our two nations ... replacement of existing positive list by negative list of goods beyond which it (Pakistan) would permit imports from India," Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said at the Indo-Pak business meet organised by CII, the 'Times of India' and Jang Group. At present, Pakistan has a positive list of items of imports from India. This creates a major problem for bilateral trade since it becomes difficult to identify items in which Indian exports are not allowed. The Pakistan's positive list of
imported items from India has been substantially expanded to 1,934 items in September 2009 from 773 in July 2006. Mukherjee said Pakistan has not implemented the provisions of maintaining the negative list despite ratification of South Asian Free Trade Agree-
ment (SAFTA). The Finance Minister also called for liberalisation of the trade regime in the two countries, improvement in communication and free movement of goods between the two countries for expansion of bilateral trade.

‘Non-financial services net to rise 22%’ PtI MUMBAI, MAY 18
On the back of the global economic and an expected quantum jump in the sales of the shipping, software and hotel industry, non-financial services are likely to clock an around 22 per cent growth in their net profits, an economic think-tank said. Alongside, PAT margins are also expected to surge by 0.50 per cent, it said. "We expect the growth in net profits of the non-financial services sector to accelerate to 21.9 per cent in 2010-11 from the 8.7 per cent estimated in 2009-10," the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) said in its recent forecast on the domestic economy. The growth would be driven by a 16.5% rise in sales, it said, adding the PAT margins too would expand by 0.50%. CMIE said that shipping, software and hotel industries would benefit from the improvement in the global economy and this would lead to these sectors posting a robust growth of 18%, 39.6% and 30.8% in sales, respectively. The aviation sector, which was hit hard by the global meltdown, may also see a rise in sales along with the transport logistics sector due to the improvement in domestic, industrial and trading climate, the CMIE said. "We also expect sales of LNG storage and distribution sector to rise by a handsome 27.8% because of the transmission of additional gas coming from Reliance Industries' KG basin," it said.

Shree Renuka Sugars is renegotiating the price of its proposed Rs 1530 crore acquisition of Brazilian sugar and ethanol maker Equipav. Senior officials of the company could not be immediately reached for comment. Shree Renuka has differences over the amount of debt on Equipav's books and it is seeking significant reduction in the $700 million debt of the Brazilian firm, people close to the development said. "Talks are at an advanced stage and we would not be able to share more details at this point of time. The discussions are likely to end over the next four to five days," a senior official from Shree Renuka Sugar said. If the terms are not acceptable, the Shree Renuka management may choose to call off the transaction with Brazil's seventh largest sugar refiner, the paper said. In February this year, Shree Renuka had announced its intention to acquire a 51% stake in Equipav for $329 million.

Govt nod to UID data collection PtI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
Government today gave inprinciple approval for adoption of standardised approach for
collection of demographic and biometric attributes, including iris scan, of residents by various bodies for UID project. The approval was given at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Unique Identification Authority of India related issues (CC-UIDAI), UIDAI Chairman Nandan Nilekani said here. To provide unique identity numbers to all residents of India, the UIDAI proposes to collect data through various agencies of central and state governments and others who, in normal course of their activities, interact with residents. These entities are described as "Registrars" of the UIDAI. Explaining the significance of the decision, Nilekani said a final approval will make it essential for any data collecting department or organisation in the country to adopt the UIDAI standards.
This includes collection of demographic (name, age, sex, age among others) and biometric attributes of residents namely face, all ten fingerprints and iris scan for the UID project. "It was also decided to include data of the iris for children in the age group of five to 15 years. The same standards and processes would be adhered to by the Registrar General of India for the National Population Register (NPR) exercise and all other Registrars in the UID system," Nilekani said. He said the biggest partner for the UIDAI was the NPR followed by the Rural Development Ministry through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. The first set of the 12-digit unique set of numbers will be issued between August 2010
and February 2011. Thereafter, 600 million UID numbers will be issued in the next five years. Nilekani said talks were also on with the Finance Ministry among others for various projects that could be tied up with UID including issuing of pan cards. Apart from providing identity, the UID will enable better delivery of services and effective governance. The UID project is primarily aimed at ensuring inclusive growth. It especially seeks to provide UID numbers to the marginalised sections of society. CC-UIDAI was formed in October 2009 to look into all issues relating to UIDAI including its organisation, plans, policies, programmes, schemes, funding and methodology to be adopted for achieving the objectives of the Authority.
Mahindra Holidays to launch 4 products in FY11 ReuteRs MUMBAI, MAY 18
Vacation home operator Mahindra Holidays & Resorts Ltd plans to launch four new products in the current fiscal to boost its product offering as the firm adds 600 new units to its existing portfolio. The owner of Club Mahindra had a total room inventory of 1,476 as at March 31. "We are launching four new products during FY11.

proximately 30,000 members. This is aligned to the growth in the eligible member base," he said.
NTPC to float $4.2 b tender
IDFC buys 26% stake in Orbis Cap
MUMBAI: India's top power producer NTPC Ltd, plans to float a $4.2 billion tender for the supply of super critical equipment manufactured in India, the Mint newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Rangoli
Rangolis have attracted the eye of everyone interested in art and to help develop this unique art, the Department of Art and Culture is organising a five-day workshop on Rangoli Design with ace rangoli artist Gunvant Manjrekar. On this note, Herald takes a look at the art of rangoli in Goa BY JANICE RODRIGUES HERALD FEATURES nter any traditional Hindu house and the first sight that captures your attention is the colourful decoration on the floor at the entrance of the house and in the temple area. Rangoli has been a significant aspect in many Hindu houses for as long as one can remember; houses used to be decorated with vibrant colours in some while others would have their doorways decorated with complex white designs. From the rangoli of the Konkan areas to the kolum in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and Alpana in North India, all are forms of the same art which aim at welcoming good wishes into the home. Speaking to some womenfolk about the tradition that is passed down from mother to daughter, the faith with which they practice this art comes forth. “The rangoli is a sign of welcome and it greets anyone who comes home, like guests and the gods,” says one. “Although we do the rangoli everyday, we do it on a grander scale on festivals and any other functions,” adds another woman who has been drawing designs of rangoli ever since she was a kid. The designs vary from simple flowers and the swastika to very intricate designs depicting birds like the peacock or robins, landscapes and even portraits. “The designs have some significance and we prefer to connect the designs to the festival in celebration, like for Ganesh Chaturthi, we draw a design of the
E
Lord Ganesha and for Diwali, we draw Krishna and decorate it with lamps,” says one lady. “Even the simpler designs have certain religious symbols intricately merged in them, like there will be some designs with the swastika and small feet in them,” adds another woman. Rangolis for individual house are done by one person but the ones done on festivals bring together all the womenfolk of the community. “It is a time when all the womenfolk from surrounding houses get together and share in making a bigger, more colourful and vibrant Rangoli,” says another woman. “It is a really good time when all the women come together and work collectively,” adds another woman. The intricacies of the art come afore when it revolves around lifelike portraits and landscapes. “For life-like portraits, we have to keep in mind the shading and shadow effects, which give life to the picture,” says one woman. “One major quality required for the art is a very steady hand as even one wrong stroke will spoil the entire picture,” adds another. Some religious ceremonies also require the presence of the Rangoli, like days such as Bhau Bhis and Raksha Bhandhan. “On the occasion of Satya Narayan Pooja, rangoli is a must, and it is used to decorate the place of worship, actually every auspicious occasion in the hindu religion requires a rangoli around the tulsi vharn,” says one lady. The colours used have evolved over time, from natural dyes from flowers and leaves to the synthetic dyes abundantly available in the market. Some rangoli artists even use pulses and grains to decorate the rangoli and give it a texture. “We use beads or glitter to effect,” says one lady.

ollywood actress Katrina Kaif is said to be becoming a security hazard to herself, and her latest disregard for all rules of self-preservation takes the cake. Recently when Katrina was required to fly to Bangalore for an event with her ‘Raajneeti’ co-star Ranbir Kapoor, she just hopped into a taxi with her hand-luggage and took off. Much to the shock of the cabbie who had no clue about the ‘star’ passenger he was carrying until he looked into his rear view mirror. “But what’s the big deal about hopping into a cab to rush to the airport? Thousands of girls do it all the time. What’s there to get hyper? My driver was late because he got caught in a traffic snarl,” said Katrina, 25. “If I had waited any more, I would’ve missed my flight. So I waved for a cab, hopped in and zipped off.” While Katrina cracks up at the recollection of the moment when the cabbie spotted her in the rear, her ‘Raajneeti’ crew were far from amused when they saw her hop out of a cab unaccompanied. Ranbir and director Prakash Jha were seen soundly ticking her off for her disregard for security rules. In fact, Katrina has always disregarded security threats. The actress has been indulging in such reckless security-adventures much too often these days. According to a close friend, she takes off on her own, usually accompanied by her trusted driver and no other companion just for a spin far away to drive off loneliness. The actress maintains she always wanted to do something unusual in life. She says, ‘I always used to make a world in my head and live in that. I wanted to be and do something unusual. Some of the dreams I remember, they may sound stupid - I wanted to be a fire-fighter, I wanted to be a stunt woman, I wanted to go to NASA. Acting was something to fancy.”Worried about her antics, her youngest sister Isabel may cut short her US acting course to join Katrina in Mumbai. So it seems that Kat’s days of zipping off on her own are nearing an end.

emember the cuddly bear who entertained you through your childhood? Well, here’s some good news for you. Winnie’s comeback film has just got an official release date. It’s July 15, 2011. Earlier predictions put the film at an April or May release, but it’s been pushed back further into the summer. It’ll now be out on the same day as the final Harry Potter film. The release date for Disney Animation Studio’s next film after the new Winnie the Pooh was also revealed – ‘Reboot Ralph’ will see release on March 22, 2013. That leaves an almost two-year gap, so we wonder if they’ll find room for a 2012 project. With two films from Pixar (‘Brave’ and ‘Monsters Inc. 2’), they don’t really need to. Back in September last year, we learned a few tidbits about the new Pooh, including the fact that it will retain the art style of the original shorts, and that it will be based on five of A A Milne’s stories. Burny Mattison, who worked on ‘Winnie the Pooh’ and ‘The Honey Tree’, is lead story artist on the new movie. Apparently the film will feature a sequence in which the cast try to find a replacement for Eeyore’s tail, and Rabbit’s ‘friends and relations’ will make an appearance. They “aren’t as socially aware as the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood” – that line in itself makes them sound hilarious already. All in all, it’s enough for me to be on board. Though we haven’t yet watched ‘The Princess and the Frog’, we’re optimistic about Disney’s future, what with John Lasseter in charge of creativity in the company now (although the less said about Pixar’s sequel-filled line-up, the better).

Celebrating International Museum Day
T
he Goan landscape is one dotted with a number of crosses alongside the milestones, across highways, along the riverbanks and atop hills. All of them, of diverse shapes, have been erected for different reasons, with various meanings. Big Foot Cross Museum, Lotoulim celebrated International Museum Day on May 18, 2010 by exhibiting a new panel of 12 unusual crosses at Goa’s first Cross museum. These crosses are in addition to its already existing worldwide collection of 1182 crosses. The crosses already in existence are classified into 91 categories and each cross carries a specific description. The goal is not simply to display the collection but to highlight the individual characteristics of each cross and to make others aware of the origin and the significance of each. The unusual crosses include a ‘Gallean Priory Cross’ that shows humankind standing on reason restless with unconscious energy; the ‘Penal Cross’ is carved from a solid piece of wood with incised passion symbols which date back to early Christianity; a ‘Celtic Cross of Commitment’ and the ‘Peg Cross’ which has a strong hold on Faith/God. The International Museum Day was inaugurated by Anita Sardessai, an eminent social worker. Sanjeev Sardessai, who was present on the occasion, has photographs of crosses from around Goa. He said, “I photographed a cross in Old Goa without the portion above, thinking it broken. After visiting the museum, I realised it was a ‘Tao Cross’.” Today, the Cross is venerated and respected by practising Christians but unfortunately has also become a decorative trinket used around the neck and as earrings and bellyrings, thus abusing its sacred dimensions.

HERALD FEATURES he Bal Bhavan Movement has completed more than fifty years in India. Commencing in 1956 in New Delhi, it has spread its opportunity to all reaches of the country. As for Goa, January 26, 1986 was the year the movement began at the Lyceum Complex, Altinho, Panjim. Since the time of its initiation, Bal Bhavan has provided Goan youngsters an outlet to their talent and upon the setting up of its official complex at Campal, the talent has grown in number. The most recent programme to display these little talents is Balotsav 2010, the annual children’s festival being held for the fifth time since its commencement. It is organised by three bodies, the Bal Bhavan, the Directorate of Art and Culture and the Kala Aacdemy. Through the summer, the 32 Bal Bhavan kendras all over Goa have organised summer camps attended by around ten thousand children from various parts of the state. Here is where they are taught to hone their talent in the various arts. The festival is the collective product of these talents and will be held on May 20 at the Dinanath Mangueshkar Kala Mandir, Kala Academy, Panjim. It will be held in the presence of dignitaries from Goa and the national Bal Bhavan, New Delhi. The activities will comprise a colourful cultural display of dance and song. There will also be an exhibition of art, craft and clay which will display items learnt by the children at the aforementioned summer camps held by the Bal Bhavan. The exhibition will be held from May 20 to 22 in the foyer area and the Art Gallery of the Kala Academy.

HERALD SPORTS REPORTER MAPUSA, MAY 18
Macasana Welfare club qualified recently for next season’s 1st division Taca Goa U-20 league after winning the Taca Goa 2nd division title. This is the first season that the GFA has had a 2nd division for the U-20 league. Macasana were unbeaten in their five matches, collecting 15 points scoring a total of 39 goals and conceding only 3 goals in the process. Macasana president, Agnelo D' Costa said, “I am very happy with the boys, they have worked hard to accomplish the promotion, I also thank coach, Joaquim Crasto for his hard efforts and not forgetting Razal Carvalho, a former player who sponsored the team."
For coach Joaquim Crasto it was his third success this season. He helped Mundivel SC qualify for the GFA second division and also worked with Margao SC as they attained GFA 1st division status this season. What’s most significant is that; all three clubs were unbeaten in their pursuit for promotion under his tutelage. "I selected the boys from the local Salcete villages, the team was together for six weeks and we worked hard on fitness and team play," stated Joaquim. Macasana played two friendly warm up matches against Corps of Signals. Although they lost both encounters 5-0, Joaquim believes they gained confidence from playing against strong, physical opponents.
Chinchinim in semis cuncolim union trophy HERALD CORRESPONDENT MARGAO, MAY 18
Union of Chinchinim Villagers recorded a 4-1 tie-breaker win over Nerul Sports Club to storm in the semi-finals of 2nd All-Goa Cuncolim Union trophy intervillage football tournament organised by Cuncolim Union at school ground, Cuncolim, on Tuesday. Chinchinim were trailing 0-1 at half time. The match was well contested as the teams went on the offensive from the out set. Nerul finally found the net when Jenifier Clemente pun-
ished the Chinchinim goalkeeper with a rasping shot off Clyde Dias in the 5th minute. Nerul were stopped from doubling the lead when Saresh Dabolkar’s smart header hit the crossbar off a well measured chip from Clyde Dias. Chinchinim were denied a goal when striker Shridhar Dable’s swerving shot beat the Nerul goalkeeper but came off the horizontal bar midway in the opening session. Again Chinchinim nearly found the equalizer but veteran Jeetendra Bhise was the culprit as he muffed an open sitter at the stroke of lemon break. Changing over, Nerul nearly doubled the lead but Abhijit Govekar’s smart header missed the mark narrowly off Clyde. Noel Leitao brought Chinchinim back into the match by unleashing a shot which crashed into the net keeping the Nerul goalkeeper napping off Jeetendra Bhise. With the teams levelled at 11 till the end of the regulation period, the tie-breaker system was enforced to decide the winners. Noel Leitao, Jeetendra Bhise and Domnic Rebello were on target for Chinchinim while Nerul could not covert any penalties.

Ronaldo to be cautioned over socialites Kim, Paris

Penalty-takers banned for feinting REUTERS ZURICH, MAY 18
Penalty-takers at the World Cup will not be able to feint as they are about to kick the ball after a change in rules was announced today, just three weeks before the start of the sport's biggest event. The International Football Association Board (IFAB), soccer's rule-making body, said the decision followed a growing trend in Brazil. In the move known as the Paradinha (Little Stop), players stop as they are about to take the penalty, send the goalkeeper the wrong way with a dummy and cheekily chip the ball into the empty part of the goal. ''We saw some video examples, which make it clear it's very unsporting when the player gets to the end of a run up, feints to kick completely over the ball, the goalkeeper goes in one direction, the player pulls his foot back, and kicks the ball in the other direction,'' IFAB member Patrick Nelson told reporters. ''It's clearly unsporting.'' One IFAB member added that some of the dummies on
the video had the room in fits of laughter. FIFA General Secretar y Jerome Valcke admitted it would be a race to introduce the new rule in time for the World Cup. ''It's something we have to implement in 23 games,'' he said. ''We have to make sure the referees, players and coaches understand what it is about and will use videos as an example for the players to see where we are coming from.'' Players who feint as they are about to take the kick will be shown a yellow card. However, feinting during the run-up will be allowed. The new wording of Law 14 now reads: ''Feinting in the runup to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted, however, feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is now considered an infringement of Law 14 and an act of unsporting behaviour for which the player must be cautioned.'' The practice also came to prominence with an ugly incident during the African Nations Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo will be warned not to let his celebrity love life interfere with Portugal’s bid for glory at next
month’s World Cup. Ronaldo, the 2008 World Footballer of the Year, has been romantically linked with American socialites Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, guaranteeing a series of headlines about his personal life as well as his soccer abilities. However, Portugal head coach Carlos Queiroz is determined to ensure nothing detracts from his team’s World
Cup campaign, especially after reports surfaced that both Hilton and Kardashian are considering traveling to South Africa to watch Ronaldo in action. “Queiroz knows Cristiano is responsible and a great professional who is totally committed to the team,” a source close to the Portugal camp told Yahoo! Sports. “He knows Cristiano is an adult and also appreciates that his life is under the spotlight. But this is the World Cup and it needs to be just about the game. Queiroz is planning to have a quiet word with him to make sure there is no distraction.” Ronaldo has established himself as one of the finest players in the world over the past few years – and also one of the game’s leading pin-ups. He replaced David Beckham as the face of Emporio Armani’s underwear line and last year became the most expensive player in soccer history, when Real Madrid paid Manchester United a $131 million transfer fee to sign him.

Hilton after the pair was spotted out together in Los Angeles last June, attempted to contact the celebrity heiress when she visited Madrid last week on a business trip, according to an E! Online report. British newspaper the Mail last month claimed Ronaldo and Kardashian had begun a ro mance. This summer could be the most important of Ronaldo’s career. Despite his Kim
achievements, critics have regularly suggested he struggles to produce his best form when it mat-
ters most. A t t h e 2 0 0 8 E u ro p e a n Championships, heavily favored Portugal crashed out in the quarterfinal after a campaign that was partly overshadowed by speculation surrounding Ronaldo’s impending move from United to Madrid. With Argentina’s Paris Lionel M e s s i h a v i n g t a ke n h i s crown of the world’s best p l a y e r, a n d w i t h M e s s i ’ s Barcelona having beaten Ronaldo’s Real Madrid to the Spanish league championship, there is much for the 25-year-old to prove in South Africa. “We expect a lot from Cristiano Ronaldo,” Queiroz said recently. “With what we have done, if we have the contribution and added value of a player recognized and considered one of the best in the world, of course the team will benefit.” Portugal has been placed in the World Cup’s Group of Death, alongside Brazil, Ivory Coast and North Korea.

IOA rejects govt regulations PTI NEW DELHI, MAY 18
A defiant Indian Olympic Association today spurned Sports Ministry's tenure limitation guidelines even though there was a voice of dissent against IOA President Suresh Kalmadi's "dictator-like" functioning. IOA's general body and the Executive Council, which met at the Olympic Bhawan here, ruled out amending constitution to
accommodate tenure limitation for its office-bearers as is wished by the Sports Ministry. "The Special General Body unanimously resolved that IOA and NSFs would decline to accept the Government guidelines to protect their autonomy in accordance with IOC Charter and International Federations' Statutes," the IOA said in a statement. "No steps will be initiated by IOA/any NSF to amend their Con-
stitution to incorporate any provisions/ part of these Guidelines as this will be seriously in breach of the Olympic Charter and render the IOA/NSFs vulnerable to suspension and deprive their teams from International participation," it added. The IOA's claim of an "unanimous" rejection of the government regulation notwithstanding, Kalmadi had his moment of embarrassment when Cycling Federation of India
(CFI) President SS Dhindsa rose to address the gathering. "I hope the (IOA) President would not mind. I have been around for long and at times, the President functions like a dictator," he said. Dhindsa, named Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Village Committee, was particularly unhappy with his nominations for committee members being ignored.
IOA plans Asian Beach Games in Goa BY JOVITO LOPES PANJIM, MAY 18
Goa is fast becoming a popular and much-sought sports destination, with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) planning to host the 4th Asian Beach Games in Goa in 2014. Already in the pipeline are the National Games and 3rd Lusofonia Games. The IOA has asked the Goa Olympic Association (GOA) to take up the case of hosting the Games in Goa so as to promote both sports as well as tourism. Subash Shirodkar, GOA presi-
dent and Gurudatta Bhakta, general secretary have already met Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat to pursue the matter since the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has shown keen interest in hosting the event in the State. The IOA is confident that Goa will boast of adequate, world class infrastructure since the Government has already agreed to organise the National Games and Lusofonia Games in near future and that it will be in the fitness of things that it will not turn into a white elephant if events take
place continuosly. It’s IOA’s perception that there is no other better place than Goa to host the Beach Games, given its golden beaches and infrastructure including hospitality. The OCA has 45 Nations under its umbrella with the disciplines being – beach volleyball, beach football, beach handball, sailing, windsurfing, paragliding, beach kabaddi, water skiing, jet skiing, triathlon, sepaktakrow, dragon boat racing, woodball, men and women’s body building, speed boat racing.
The budget for hosting the event in Goa has been estimated at Rs 20 crore, with 10,000 US dollars being the bid money. Once the Games allotment is done, the organisers will have to pay 1,19,000 US dollars and guarantee money of 1,00,000 US dollars to OCA. Meanwhile, Goa will participate in 3rd Asian Beach Games in Oman and an Oman kabaddi team will play three matches at Colva, Mira Mar and Palolem in June in preparation for the Games. The kabaddi team is being coached by India’s E Prasad Rao.

Too costly fire-crackers for Churchill! BY JOVITO LOPES PANJIM, MAY 18
Bursting fire-crackers, which is normally done as an expression of joy, victory, has proved costly in this case to Churchill Brothers as they have been fined US dollars 5,000 by the AFC as a crazy fan of theirs kept on doing it during their AFC Cup group match against Al Hilal of Yemen inside the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda on April 6. Churchill Bros won the match 1-0 and there was this zealous fan of theirs on the Eastern Stand who kept on bursting fire-crackers as the
match wore on. The matter immediately caught the attention of the Match Commissioner, who ordered that the bursting of crackers be stopped immediately. Police Inspector Santosh Desai, on being informed, dispatched a couple of policemen where the lone fan was sitting as the stands were deserted and it was immediately stopped. Churchill Bros explained to AFC that the bursting of crackers was done without their permission and that it was stopped immediately, but the explanation did not cut
much ice with the AFC Disciplinary Committee which slapped a fine of Rs 2 and half lakh for violation of the code of conduct as per the rules. Since Churchill Bros were the organizers of the match, the AFC felt that they had to be held responsible for the violation. The AFC is very particular on the rules of conduct of the match, insisting even that reporters covering the match must display their I-Cards and that photographers must wear uniformly coloured green bibs.
