Mumbai police interrogate Chennai-based hotelier, Vikram Aggarwal, who brought Vindoo and Guru together

By Kainaz Choksey

C

hennai based hotelier Vikram Aggarwal was interrogated by the Mumbai police on Friday afternoon over his suspected involvement in the Indian Premier League or IPL betting scam. Aggarwal, referred to as Victor, was asked to surrender before the Tamil Nadu Police on Thursday but he missed the deadline. His plea for anticipatory bail was rejected by the Madras High Court.

The hotelier is reported to have introduced actor Vindoo Dara Singh to Gurunath Meiyappan, the disgraced son-in-law of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, N. Srinivasan.

According to the police, an ICC official had ‘warned’ Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team

owner Gurunath Meiyappan to be ‘careful’ about his association with bookies, weeks before he was arrested in connection with the IPL betting scandal. The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) had also reportedly approached Meiyappan regarding his association with bookies.

According to Himanshu Roy, Jt.Commissioner of Police (crime) “Through phone conversations, it has been found that Gurunath Meiyappan had informed jailed actor Vindoo Dara Singh about the warning issued to him by the International Cricket Council (ICC) who had got in touch with the Board Of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to warn them that Meiyappan has been keeping company with bookies.

We are still in the process of interrogating

Aggarwal. He will be produced face-to-face during an interrogation with Gurunath Meiyappan and Vindoo Dara Singh and then questioned separately.”

Aggarwal heads VVA Hotels Private Limited, which owns two franchise properties in Chennai, the swank 129-room business hotel Fortune Select Palms and the five-star Hotel Radisson Blu. The Fortune property is located along the high-profile IT corridor in suburban Chennai and is a member of the ITC Hotel Group.

Vindoo Dara Singh and Gurunath Meiyappan will remain in custody till June 3. Bookie Ashwin Aggarwal alias Tinku Mandey, who was in contact with Ramesh Vyas and other bookies in Pakistan, will be produced in court tomorrow.

nveiling his concept plan for a Theme Park in place of Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray yesterday urged the government and interested parties not to make it a clash of egos and instead develop a central park in its place. Speaking to newspersons at Sena Bhavan, Dadar, he denied that the Sena was angling to name the proposed theme park after late Sena chief Bal Thackeray.

The Sena president stated that after 99 years, a golden opportunity has presented itself to us and the government should not let it go. Uddhav said that a detailed plan will be submitted by the BMC to the government in a day or two. He added that he himself would call on Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and submit a similar concept plan to the government.

Uddhav disclosed that the

ith declaring the final year results of most of the streams and being stuck with the release of the Third Year Bachelors of Science – Statistics, Chemistry, Life Sciences, Botony, Micro-biology, Bio-Chemistry and Bio-technology ((TYBSc) and Third Year Bachelor of Commerce (TYBCom) of the 60:40 credit system, the Mumbai University (MU) finally declared the results late night out Wednesday.

Though the assessment of the two stream was severely

hit by the agitation of teachers and delay in submission of the internal assessment marks by the teachers, the varsity gave out the results within time.

While the MU had begun the TYBSc and TYBCom final year board examinations, along with that the teachers had staged an agitation demanding the state government to look into the demands of the teachers and solve it out as soon as possible. After the government sidetracked these demands, the teachers stepped ahead to boycott the TYBSc and TY-

Soon after the varsity carried out the exams, the teachers then boycotted the assessment of the papers due to which the MU had to wait for getting the answer-sheets assessed.

Dinesh Mahajan, a peon with MSRTC bagged a flat under the Low Income Group (LIG) category at Kurla. Television serial artist Shantanu Gangane got a flat under the artist quota. Even, Dinkar Jagdale joint chief executive officer with MHADA too bagged a flat under the state government employee quota under the HIG category at Powai.

While, ex-Airforce man Kiran Nikam got a flat allotted under the HIG category.

The long list of beneficiaries also includes three sitting MLAs, a MP and a former MLA who got flats allotted under the public representatives quota at Tunga, Powai.

The MLAs who got the flats

included – Dadarao Keche (BJP), Omprakash Ramrajenimbalkar (Shiv Sena), Sena MP Bhausaheb Wakchaure and former Congress MLA Kisanrao Khopade.

MHADA had received 93,559 applications for the 1,244 flats. Out these 87,647 applications were declared as eligible, while 5,912 applications were rejected. There were 572 flats under the HIG, 96 flats under LIG, 354 flats under MIG and 222 flats under EWS category up for grabs. MHADA sources later disclosed that MHADA will conduct another lottery for 2,450 flats at Virar-Bolinj in Thane and Vengurla in Sindhudurg district during Diwali in November later this year.

Despite examination assessment hit by the teachers agitation, MU declares results on time

teachers to hand over the internal marks, the varsity was able to tally the marks and declare it as soon as possible.

Dr Madhu Nair, Dean of Commerce, MU, said “During the strike, the flow of the assessment of the answersheets was very slow as a large number of teachers were in the agitation and it was not possible to carry out the assessment work without them. But since the varsity had to declare the results in time without making the students suffer, the teachers who were not a part of the strike started the correction of the

papers. Once the strike was called off, other teachers also joined in and finally the results were possibly out in time”.

This year the overall passing percentage of TYBSc has been 50.25 per cent were as for the TYBCom stream its 81.13 per cent.

When the ADC, spoke to Dr Naresh Chandran, Pro ViceChancellor, MU, he said “Finally the results have been declared and as assured to the students, the varsity got the results out in time. It had been a swift work by the administration.”

Should BCCI officials quit, since ICC had warned them about Meiyappan’s links with bookies?

The BCCI president as well as officials are corrupt and they should resign from their respective posts.

Hitesh Patel Digital strategist

Without evidence how can it be proved that any of the BCCI officials are having links with bookies?

Only if it is proved, top officials then have moral responsibility to resign from their respective posts.

Jason Jacob Gym manager

Owning moral responsibility, only if the BCCI chief resigns from his post then others will learn a lesson. There is no need for everyone to resign.

I think the BCCI officials are corrupt and they are having direct or indirect links with bookies and betting syndicates. The whole committee should be scrapped and a new one should be formed.

ur foremost goal should be the revival of our proud traditions in morality, ethics and social conduct. Our nation’s progress should not be hampered by the tarnishing of our national character or a weakening of the moral fibre of our society,” said President Pranab Mukherjee.

Mukherjee was addressing a gathering at a commemorative function to mark the 120th anniversary of the historic voyage of Swami Vivekananda to Chicago from Mumbai port to attend the ‘Parliament of World Religions’, at the Convocation Hall of Mumbai University on Friday.

Governor K Sankaranarayanan, former Dy PM, Mayor Sunil Prabhu and officials of Ramakrishna Mission were present on the occasion.

Mukherjee called upon the youth of the country to draw inspiration from the legendry religious scholar and patriotic leader Swami

President Pranab Mukherjee, Governor K Sankaranarayanan and BJP leader L.K. Advani releasing a book on Swami Vivekananda.

Vivekananda to build strong, prosperous and robust nation. He said our present society seems to be losing sense of right and wrong and good and bad as we pursue our respective short-term objectives. Consequently, the greater public good is being sacrificed.

On the present education system, the President said

there is imperative need to improve the quality of the education as well as expansion of our education system so that no one should be deprived of quality education.

He expressed confidence that Indian universities can reinvent themselves and regain their past glory.

For that education institutes urgently need to update

themselves and make curriculum and methods more relevant to present problems and challenges and they should be result oriented.

This can be achieved through a comprehensive and timebound plan of reform While talking about Swami Vivekananda’s voyage to Chicago 120 years ago, Mukherjee said, “Some journeys in the lives of great men are destined to be transformational, both for themselves and for their people.”

Mukherjee underlined that Maharashtra has borne some of our nation’s greatest social reformers. “I would like to affirm today that although the paths of these leaders of our society may have appeared to be outwardly divergent, their goals were essentially the same.”

He added, “Swamiji’s 150th birth anniversary celebrations should be an occasion for a constructive debate and cooperative action among the various sections striving for social reform.”

Killers of auto driver held

By Zuber Ansari

W

ith the arrest of two drug addicts, the MIDC police claim to have solved the murder of 45-year-old auto rickshaw driver, Harinath Paras Yadav.

Yadav’s body was discovered on Tuesday night by a 30-year-old woman employee of a private firm who went to hire the rickshaw near Gokul Industrial Estate in MIDC, Andheri.

Senior Police Inspector Suresh Hujband of MIDC police station said, “We have arrested two accused including a minor in this connection.

Both the accused are druggists and always carried a weapon with them.”

In their confession, the duo revealed that they had hired the auto rickshaw from Sakinaka and landed in Ganeshpada area in MIDC, but stabbed him in fit of rage when he asked them to pay Rs.30 as auto fare.

“After the murder, we rounded up all the druggists from the locality, who told us about druggists who carry weapons in the area, and had robbed many auto drivers earlier as well, on basis of which we detained Ramankumar Mishra alias Shera (19) and his minor friend, who later they confessed to their crime,” Hujband added. Yadav was survived by his wife and three children.

Second accused in Laila Khan murder case is moving freely in Kashmir because Mumbai police have not sent request to nab him

By Tariq Khan

S

hakir Husain Wani, the second accused in the Laila Khan murder case, who had reportedly helped Parvez Tak in killing the starlet and other five people, and has been on run since June 2012, has been traced to Kashmir.

The Kashmir police are still waiting for Mumbai police’s request so that they can nab him and hand him over, but the Mumbai police, who have already filed a charge-sheet in the matter, are surprisingly still hunting for Wani.

According to the sources in Kashmir police, Wani had earlier escaped to Himachal Pradesh, and then to Nepal. But few days ago, the police had information about him coming back to his home town Dodha in Jammu and then slipping into Kashmir. Instead of arresting Wani, they prefered to let him escape for the simple reason that the Mumbai police are not showing any interest in the case.

The investigating officer from Kishtwar, who had led the investigations, and was instrumental in cracking the murder case and arresting Tak, now says that the police have bigger things to handle than chasing such accused. “We deal with things like terrorism and militancy. We have no time for such petty cases.

It is the Mumbai police who should take interest.

We had cracked the case first and had handed over the main accused to them.

Laila Khan It is their job to contact us and take our help.”

He further says, “More over all the officers who were earlier involved in the case have been transferred.

So the new people over there are showing no interest in closing the rest of the case.”

On the night of January 30, 2011, Laila, accompanied by her mother Shelina, older sister Hashmina, twin siblings Imran and Zara, and cousin Rehshma, drove out of Mumabi towards their Igatpuri bunglow. All the six were killed and buried in the same farmhouse by Tak and Wani.

When contacted Joint CP (Crime) Himanshu Roy, said, “We will be taking the help of J&K police to arrest the second accused.”

CCTVs will monitor flood-prone areas Civic officials are planning to fix seven cameras in various parts of the city and three at crucial junctions of the Mithi River

By A Staff Reporter

T

he Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to fix cameras at major junctions which are classified as chronic flooding spots in various parts of the city. Besides, the civic body has enlisted the traffic police to provide real-

time footage of flooding and traffic snarls in the city. The arrangement will work as an early warning system for the civic body and help for prompt evacuation, in case of flooding.

Earlier, the BMC was dependent on the local people and media footage for the assessment of the damage con-

trol situation in the monsoon season.

The roads and traffic department of the BMC are fixing seven cameras in various parts of the city and three at crucial junctions of the Mithi River.

Storm Water Drains Chief Engineer, Laxman Vhatkar, said, “The Mithi River is the

main cause of concern for us.

It has caused the 2005 deluge and took a huge toll of lives. Three cameras are fixed at Kranti Nagar, BKC Bridge and the Car Shed at Kurla.

Water levels will be observed via camera, and in case they reach danger levels, people will be evacuated to

safer places.

He added, “Seven other cameras have been fixed at Hindmata, Sewree station, Lower Parel Naka, Sakubai Chawl, Maratha Mandir, etc.

Besides, footage will be taken from the traffic police’s system. Real-time footage will help resolve crisis situations in the city.”

S

leuths of the Manekpur police have arrested a 42-year-old man on charges of sodomising a 19-year-old teenager at his residence in Vasant Nagri, Vasai (East).

The incident took place on May 26.

The accused, identified as Deepak Virendrakumar Mandaloi (42), is employed as a motorman with the Western Railway (WR) and the 19-year-old victim is the son of his own colleague, said the police. Following a complaint filed by the boy’s father, Mandaloi was arrested and booked under sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 511 (punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment) of the Indian Penal Code.

In his complaint to the police, the victim’s father, who also is a WR motorman, alleged that they had left their son in the custody of the accused when they recently went to their native place. The accused allegedly attempted to perform unnatural sex on his son, and when the boy resisted his sexual overtures, he was threatened with dire consequences. The victim narrated his ordeal to

The accused motorman, Deepak Mandaloi his father when he returned from the native place, following which a complaint was registered at the Manekpur police station. We have arrested the accused who will be produced before the Sessions Court in Vasai,” confirmed API Vilas Saaste.

Notes: .

1.During the year under review, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors revised the exercise price of the Stock Options outstanding under Employees Stock Option Plan 2005 and Employees Stock Option Plan 2009 Schemes to Rs. 5.80 per share which was the closing price of the share on the Stock Exchanges on the previous day of such revision. Consequently, due to the revision of price with retrospective effect, an amount of Rs. 85 Lacs is shown under Exceptional Items and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year.

The Company has not ascertained the Fair Value of the Options granted to its employees under the Company's Stock Option Schemes.

Consequently, impact of the same on the Proforma Loss, Proforma Basic Earnings per share and Proforma Diluted Earnings per share is not ascertainable. .

2.As per approval of the shareholders of the Company under Section 293 (1) (a) of the

Companies Act, 1956, obtained through postal ballot on 22nd May, 2010, the Company has effective from 1st October, 2009, transferred the businesses of two divisions to two 100% subsidiaries, subject to requisite approvals being obtained from the concerned Statutory Authorities and the Company's lenders and creditors. The Company had applied for approvals of Secured / Unsecured Lenders. However one of the lenders has informed the Company that they are not agreeable to the transfer of the businesses of the two divisions to the two 100% subsidiaries and has declined to give its approval. Besides, the Lead bank of the Consortium for Working Capital has informed the Company not to proceed with hiving-off of assets without the written consent of the Consortium Banks. Consequently, the Company continues to be liable to the lenders for the Term Loans and Unsecured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures transferred to the subsidiary companies. The Company has not provided interest on the above for the year under review. Therefore, the company will continue to be liable to the lenders for the Loans/Unsecured Debentures transferred to the two 100% subsidiaries together with interest thereon, in terms of the above shareholders resolution.

3. In view of the temporary strain on financial resources which has inter alia resulted in delay in repayment of dues, and also with an objective to bring normalcy to the Company's operations, the Company has approached the Banks for One Time Settlement (OTS) of the dues. Pending consideration of such requests, the Company has not yet taken any steps with regard to the non-approval as explained in Note No. 2 above.

4.Due to current mismatch of inflows and outflows, compounded by delayed recoveries of certain stressed assets, as enumerated in Note No. 5 below, the debt servicing by the Company has been adversely affected. As a result, action has been initiated by some of the lenders of the Company. LIC Nomura Mutual Fund and SBI Factors Limited had filed petitions in the Bombay High Court for winding up of the Company for non-payment of their dues. In case of the dues to SBI Factors Limited, the dues were supposed to be paid in the financial year 2012-13, where there is a delay and the company is likely to pay in the coming months. The other lenders are being addressed under One Time Settlement. Upon settlement of the matters amicably with the lenders including LIC Nomura Mutual Fund, the consent terms will be filed. Bank of India has served upon the Company a Notice under Section 13(2) of The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Act, 2002 for repayment of their dues. The notice has been set aside by DRT and is now being challenged in appeal by the bank. Also other Banks have sent Demand Notices to the Company for repayment of their dues. Also some other banks have issued SARFAESA notices.

KEM celebrates Aruna’s 65th b’day Continued from pg 1 « sodomy in the history of the country.

Aruna, along with her family, which comprises of the staff at KEM hospital (nobody has heard of her actual family over all these years) has witnessed several ups and downs.

Right from being the one who raked up the issue of euthanasia, to being a subject of interest for the media, Aruna has experienced it all but nobody knows for sure how she feels about it. But the nurses who have been taking care of her for the past four decades say that she is happy.

“The fact that the Supreme Court has let her be with us and that healthwise she has no issues, tells you that she is happy here and is being well taken care of,” said a nurse from KEM Hospital.

While the 1973 incident is known to every nurse there, nobody wants to talk about it because for them this is the time to forget the horrid past and celebrate the fact that Aruna is alive and healthy too.

While Dr. Sandhya Kamat, Dean of KEM Hospital, simply said, “Aruna’s birthday will be celebrated the way it has been celebrated for the last forty years,” the staff at KEM gave some details about the simple celebration they plan to have on this occasion.

It was being said that there will be a cake cutting ceremony and the nurses plan to brighten up Aruna’s room by changing the boring white hospital curtains to coloured ones for her birthday. They have also brought

“Due to intake of the acid, her lungs have taken a direct hit and are badly damaged. Due to improper functioning of the lungs, Preeti’s body isn’t able to maintain the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide and she requires Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), a technique that uses a pump to circulate purified blood back into the bloodstream. It acts like an artificial lung. Functioning of her kidneys is unpredictable ands they need medication at times. Her platelet levels are okay right now but we can never say how they will be tomorrow.

(ii) a.Interest amounting to Rs. 40.03 Lacs approximately has not been provided on Public Deposits for the year including on deposits which have matured and are claimed but not paid as on 31st March 2013 amounting to Rs. 258.62 Lacs b.Loans aggregating to Rs 22,406.50 Lacs have been re-called by the banks, due to default in repayment of the principal and interest amounts. Interest amounting to Rs. 2,835.95 Lacs approximately has not been provided for the year on these loans. Also no interest has been provided on account of delays in payment of various statutory dues like Tax Deducted at Source, Service Tax, ESIC, Custom Duty, etc, amount whereof is not ascertainable.

Non or delayed recoverability of the above Stressed Assets and inadequacy of accruals have adversely affected the debt servicing by the Company and also led to operating losses and erosion of liquidity. The management is of the view that the above stressed assets of various classes may need provision in due course the extent of which cannot be determined at present. Consequently they have been shown as considered good and no provision has been made for the same.

The management is of the view that the future viability of the company and its 'going concern' assumption would depend on the timely approval of the Company's OTS proposal.

6.Unsecured interest free loans aggregating to Rs 131.50 Lacs received from various parties and outstanding in the books of account as on 31st March 2013, are subject to reconciliation and confirmation.

7.Sales invoices along with the relevant corresponding documents are not in the possession of the Company as the same are in the custody of the government authorities.

8.Regarding impairment the Management is of the opinion that impairment arising out of changes in business model, discontinuation of some products and services and similar reasons should be recognized and are proposed to be transferred to the respective divisions for recovery and an estimate should be made as a block of assets comprising of Fixed Assets, Current Assets and Investments. In the absence of full implementation of the plan, the impairment has not been ascertained and debited to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Cyber dunces P

T would be downright funny if it were not so scarifying. In February alone, in eight cases adjudicated by the state IT secretary, the Mumbai police have been hauled up for shoddy investigation. He also pointed out that they seemed not to understand the nature of cyber crime. These are the same people who swiftly arrested two young women for a Facebook comment on the way the city came to a halt post the death of Balasaheb Thackeray, all because Shiv Sena mobs decided they were offended by the remarks.

That they got their faces really rubbed in their own stupidity later, both by the courts and the public, misses the point. This is the age of the cyber crime. Their numbers are rising steadily. In 2000, the IT Act was formulated. In 2005, there were around 142 crimes registered, according to the National Crimes Record Bureau (NCRB). By 2009, the year the IT Act amendments came into force, these had gone up to 420. In 2010, the figure stood at 966 cases, rising to 1,791 cases the following year. You get the picture.

The IT secretary is stated to have come down heavily on the way basic tools in cyber crime investigations have been misused, and demanded that the state DGP organize special training. The thing is – even with training, given the caliber of those entering the forces at lower levels, are they going to perform any better?

Transpose this story to the way constables are selected for the police force. They run to establish certain basic levels of endurance, then a physical examination is done. Hundreds of thousands apply, a few among them are chosen for training.

At the beginning of their training, if the specimens exercising on the police grounds in Thane are any indication, they have to be taught even how to stand, with ‘savdhan’ and ‘vishram’ seeming to confuse many. Yet, in a year, they are considered ‘battle ready’ and put to the arduous task of policing.

The officers chosen to man the cyber crime cell may indeed know the difference between Attention and At Ease. But do they have the intellectual capacity to make good cyber sleuths? In which case, train them as much as one will, they will still be third rate investigators when it comes to cyber offences. As indeed are many of our policemen when it comes to investigating crime. A solution?

Scrap present recruiting methods. Get down to choosing quality. The rest will follow.

RIME Minister Manmohan Singh’s just concluded Japan visit continues to rile China, with a state-run daily warning that India could get close to Tokyo ‘at its own peril’ and ties with it ‘can only bring trouble’ to New Delhi.

After attacking Japan on Thursday, accusing it of attempting forge alliances with India and other neighbours to ‘encircle China,’ the ruling Communist Party-run Global Times today came out with an article titled ‘India gets close to Japan at its own peril.’

Written by a scholar from an official think-tank, the Centre for Strategic and International Affairs of the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, the article with aggressive overtones outlines China’s concerns over the close relations between India and Japan.

“Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh concluded his visit to Japan on Wednesday. The visit, coming after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s recent trip to India, led to speculation in the Indian media that it was a balancing tactic against China,” it said.

Noting that Singh’s visit, coming immediately after Li’s visit, was a coincidence, it said, “However, adding a day to the visit, initially planned for two days, after the recent China-India border confrontation, prompted speculation about India’s concerns over China in the visit to Japan,” it said.

“Given the long-lasting Diaoyu Islands dispute (Japan calls the islands Sekakus) and China-India border confrontation, there may be some tacit understanding in strategic cooperation between India and Japan,” it said.

“However, India should keep sober over the (Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo) Abe administration’s vicious intentions of denying the World Anti-Fascism War as a just war. East Asian countries that were the victims of the World War II won’t indulge Japan.”

“Overheated strategic cooperation with the Abe administration can only bring trouble to India and threaten its relationships with the relevant East Asian coun-

AS in Spain a few years ago with some friends from India and remember their first visit to the beach: “She’s topless!” breathed my young friend ogling a woman sunning herself, “I’ve never seen anything like this!” He stared at hundreds of women sunbathing, but slowly his eyes left them and started looking at the beautiful Mediterranean Sea! “Isn’t she beautiful!” he said with a longing sigh and this time I knew he was not talking about topless women.

It had taken him just awhile to move from never having seen women topless to seeing other things of beauty. It had taken him a few moments to move from lust to joy!

It’s not women bathing topless we have in Mumbai, what we have are plastic dolls, mannequins looking out of shop windows with expressionless eyes, wearing two piece bikinis.

tries,” it said.

The article said India’s efforts to develop its ties with Japan are part of its “Look East” policy, which has undergone great changes in recent years.

“In addition to Southeast Asia, the targeted region of the policy has expanded to East Asia and Northeast Asia.It has emphasised more cooperation in the fields of strategy and security in addition to economy,” the paper said.

“As an embodiment of the Look East policy, India has strengthened economic, strategic and security cooperation with countries like Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. It has interfered in the South China Sea disputes in a high-profile manner against the backdrop of the US pivot to Asia. Some Indian scholars acknowledge that some parts of the “Look East” policy target China,” it said.

“India and Japan share common ground in developing relations. Both long for the status of permanent member state of the

PERSPECTIVE UN Security Council. Japan and India are theoretically complementary in their economies since India is an emerging economy with a huge potential market but constrained by inadequate capital and backward technology. Both countries have territorial disputes with China and are unhappy with China’s rise,” it said.

Noting that both countries look to develop their ties on democratic values, it said both hold different attitudes to the priorities of the bilateral relationship, a PTI report said.

“The Japanese government also encourages enterprises to invest in India with the purpose of reducing Indian dependence on China. However, so far, the results of economic cooperation between India and Japan are not satisfactory,” it said.

“Indians well understand that the current India is incomparable to China in strength. The economic ties between

‘Startup Dosti’, a business plan to connect India, Pak entrepreneurs

A

CROSS-BORDER business plan competition will be launched to connect entrepreneurs from India, Pakistan and facilitate investment and collaboration.

To be formally launched at the British Parliament on June 3, ‘Startup Dosti’ provides business support and seed funding to high-potential, early stage startups in India and Pakistan.

The initiative is a partnership between SEED Ventures (Karachi-London), the Indian Angel Network (New Delhi), and the Atlantic Council (Washington).

Contestants will have the opportunity to win seed funding, and incubation, mentorship, and access to business resources, if they successfully convince a cross-border panel of seasoned investors to support their enterprises, it said.

“Startup Dosti will interconnect the entrepreneurial communities across India and Pakistan, thus creating a platform for exchange of ideas, mentoring, assistance in access to markets, and perhaps funding,” said Padmaja Ruparel, president, Indian Angel Network.

“Given the similarities in the market stages in India and Pakistan, entrepreneurs from both countries can now look forward to assisted access to a significantly sized market in their neighborhood,” she said.

The Atlantic Council, in its statement, said the ‘Dosti Partnership’ is a timely project seeking to build upon steadily improving relations between India and Pakistan.

Total trade between the two countries has increased from US $750 million to more than US $2.5 billion since 2005. Experts believe a US $50 billion trade market can emerge in case barriers and restrictions continue to fall, it said. nequins madam, and you can bet your last dollar or Swiss Euro they will soon get bored and get on with other things.

Because we excel in such prudery, we are an embarrassment abroad.

Look at our state home minister; watch his furtive eyes, not looking for terrorists but seeing no girls, dance in bars! Quite a few of Mumbai policemen guard bars to see waitresses don’t suddenly gyrate to music. What the honorable minister needs to realize is there would be less crime against women if such activities were legitimately allowed.

But men and women as these continue ruling the roost, and with their silly notions and misguided ideas India is slowly but surely becoming the rape capital of the world as lustful men with frenzied hands and curious eyes tear open the whole nine yards to find what lies therein.

Instead let them look away from mannequin and sigh, “Isn’t she beautiful!” And you know they speak of the Arabian Sea. — bobsbanter@gmail.com

Naxalites need to be handled delicately THIS has reference to your Edit Page article ‘On the spot’ by Tavleen Singh (ADC, May 30).

Singh seems to be labouring to establish that ‘Naxalism’ is just an insurgency popped up due to bad administration or some political manoeuvres at Chhatisgarh. She gives an example of the old Punjab insurgency that Gill has successfully plugged.

Naxals are just not a bunch of criminals or barbarians and if they use laptops or other gadgets it is not surprising, as the Naxals are mostly from the university think-tanks, maybe a frustrated lot eager to find a quick solution to the anarchy and poverty-ridden people whom the greedy politicians loot systematically in the name of rehabilitation!. The group has world concept to beat anarchy and the leaders were diehard and selfless scholars.

Extend Turf Club lease ALL the clubs in Mumbai are on lease basis. They should support Turf Club and the lease should be extended for another 99 years.

There is no big structure on the ground which could affect environment. How many of the politicians who are asking to be make the club a garden would go for a walk there?

There are several buildings in Mumbai owned by rich which are on lease basis. Would they agree if their lease is not renewed. At the most, the govt. can increase the lease rent and give the Turf Club another 99-year lease. I am not a member of the Turf Club but I find such an institution should be preserved as a club as it exists, which has an open ground and its fresh air is a rejuvenator.

BJP must tackle graft THIS refers to M.V. Kamath’s ‘Karnataka has chosen bad over worse’(ADc, May 24).

Record of both BJP and Congress on corruption is almost identical. BJP which was having one southern state in their pocket, missed the opportunity to consolidate their base in south. The way Yeddurappa issue was handled by them literally dug their own grave.

BJP was seen saving the corrupt and were never serious about tackling corruption issue. BJP could have proved itself different from the Congress when it came to take action against their own corrupt party elements but it proved no better than Congress. BJP must learn a lesson from Karnataka debacle and should adopt zero tolerance against the corrupt. People also want transparency and a clean administration—nothing less.

Home Minister. It’s simply callous and highly insensitive of him to have ignored the call of duty. He has no right to be the home minister and must resign immediately. His actions completely smacks of his disregard for basic niceties by a person of his stature.

A minister has reportedly blamed the ‘excesses’ committed during the Salwa Judum for theNaxalite attack in Chhattisgarh. If that is so, then what was responsible for the birth and rapid proliferation of the movement in 1967? That time, the brain-washed cadres were openly killing innocent people in the streets of Calcutta. The real reason lies in the violent teaching of the Communist ideology itself.

urbhe railway station was an example of architectural excellence for CIDCO. The station was constructed and commissioned in the year 2005. It happens to be the most spacious of railway stations on the Harbour Line, but has been losing its glory in absence of proper maintenance.

In just eight years, many parts of the station premises seem to have become ancient, with pan and gutkha stains on peeling walls. The station has the lowest footfalls compared to any other stations on the Harbour Line.

Commuters complain that they often encounter aggressive drunkards who can be seen consuming alcohol and other forms of tobacco inside the station premises, emboldened by the

absence of personnel from the railway police force. Women commuters say they feel insecure even during the day time as the station premise is empty , with only slums dwellers hanging about and creating nuisances. “The station is located near a slum called Turbhe Store which has a population over 5,000 and most slum-dwellers pass their time inside the station premises,” said a daily commuter, Suvarna Nalawade.

Even the station master has accepted that slum children play cricket within the premises.

“In absence of proper fencing and boundary walls, these slum children enter inside the station and play cricket or indulge in consuming drugs,” said a railway official, requesting anonymity. He added that they have reported the matter to their higher authorities on several occasions but no action has been taken so far.

Apart from above, in spite of low footfalls, buying a ticket is a tough task with only one booking window functioning even though there is provision for more than 10 ticket windows on both sides of the station. “With no ATVM machine and nonfunctional CVM, buying ticket from the single window is a challenging job for passengers,” said Aparna, another commuter.

Ready for Monsoon

By Amit Srivastav

W

ith the monsoon almost overhead, Deputy municipal commissioner Jagannath Sinnarkar convened a meeting of officials from Disaster Management cell and various other departments to chalk out a plan to tackle any untoward situations if they arose during the monsoon.

Though Navi Mumbai is not prone to heavy water logging, the civic body doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned to make the monsoon a pleasant season for residents.

At present, the civic body is carrying out desilting work to make nullahs and gutters clean enough and ensure that there will be no clogging due to rain water. Among the officials who attended the meeting were assistant police commissioners, RTO officials, CIDCO officials, railway officials, officers from the Home Guard and Rapid Action Force. Some non-governmental organisations too attended the meeting.

Recently, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) made some changes in the disaster management system with the installation of new rainfall-measuring equipment at emergency control rooms in each ward. Around 200 temporary pump houses will be cre-

ated at places which are prone to water logging, and the pumps will be operated through generators. To make medical facilities available round the clock during emergencies, civic health officials have got a contingency plan ready. According to health officers, a requisite stock of important medicines has already been stocked at all civic hospitals.

They have created special wards of 30 beds at the civic hospital in Vashi.

Open gutters and big drains often create problems during heavy rains especially if they are open. So the civic body is putting lids on open

Although the press tended to make her the optimal hero with blue eyes, dark hair, being tall and beautiful she was in reality an average Indian which makes it hard for the movie to fulfill the expectations of the audience and tell the truth at the same time.

Dal Chawal Love Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

breaking free is chucking those glasses, picking up a bottle of booze At: Cinemax and other cinemas and dancing with abandon. Please Directed by Ayan Mukerji note, the girls wear short shorts and Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika tees, or ethic outfits with tiny, skinPadukone, Kalki Koechlin, Aditya Roy revealing cholis, while the guys are Kapur and others always modestly covered up.

Rating: Find a few teenagers who would say that the life that Bunny (Ranbir S a weekend flick with friends, Kapoor) chooses in the film is not or a date film, Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is fine. It’s a Karan Johar production, so everyone wears trendy clothes, everyone lives in homes with great decor, the locations are luscious looking. It’s light, has excellent songs, witty lines — Ranbir Kapoor uttering those witty lines — what’s not to like?

But a movie about today’s youth it is not, because the version of youth is very Bollywood, and Bollywood of a certain kind, where roDeepa Gahlot mantic melodrama is all there is to being young — after partying, getting drunk, getting laid, and other what they all aspire to, and maybe such significant issues.

FILM REVIEW

The Hangover Part III

At Cinemax and other cinemas Directed by Todd Phillips Cast: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, John Goodman, and Ken Jeong and others Rating:

T

HIS time, they promise it will be ‘The End’. Part 2 of a small and successful film, using the same formula was too much; a Part 3 is definitely scraping the bottom of a very small barrel.

The original Hangover had madcap comedy and energy, a film so eager to please that it was churlish not to acknowledge the effort and its undeniable chutzpah. It was about three friends who lose their buddy who is about to be married, and must go back to find him; what they did on their drunken night out

Is It Over Yet? was outrageous, bawdy but undoubtedly hilarious. In part two, the action — more of the same — shifted to Thailand, but was much less funny. Still, it was a hit, which must have justified a third outing.

Meanwhile Bradley Cooper has grown up and joined the queue of Oscar nominees, he may not even want to part of the Wolfpack and do a Part 4.

The always loony Alan (Zach Galifianakis) kicks off the imminent lunacy by towing a giraffe behind his car — imagine what happens to the poor animal when the car goes below an underpass. In this film there is no hangover, but there is plenty of mayhem anyway, with

POOR

feisty Aditi (Kalki Koechlin) who seems to settle for a marriage of convenience and profess to like it; Naina (Deepika Padukone) a medical student (who presumably passes her exams because there is a passing mention of a clinic) who prefers to be tied down to home and hearth and makes a virtue of it, but for years pines for the man she cannot tie down with herself.

But why look for depth — first half trek to Manali and lots of masti; second half (eight years later) everyone congregates at a wedding in gorgeous Udaipur, and the loose ends are tied up. Mainstream Bollywood is essentially status quo-ist — happy endings mean a clinch and a promise of happily-ever-after.

Bunny, in his Jawaani days, calls it a dal-chawal life of no variety. This is what Ayan Mukerji dishes out in his second (after the really likeable Wake Up Sid) film, with the right amounts of masala and tadka to disguise the blandness.

The film gives Ranbir Kapoor a chance to emote, clown, dance, ad lib and he shows that he has what it takes to make dal chawal look like biryani. When he is on screen, he dominates completely. Deepika Padukone finally finds her acting muscle and gives the role all she’s got. The others in the cast are competent, then Farouque Shaikh gets one great scene and steals the thunder. Youth, as George Bernard Shaw said, is wasted on the young.

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS Rs. 599/Cast: Animated feature Directed by: Peter Ramsey

F you couldn’t watch the movie at the theatres, here is your chance to watch the computer – animated fantasy adventure Rise of the Guardians, based on William Joyce’s book series and film The Guardians of Childhood and The Man in the Moon. Kids are sure to be glued to the screen watching the antics of Guardians — Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman — who help Jack Frost fight against the evil Pitch Black who wants to engulf the world in darkness.

The film features the voices of Chris Pine (Jack Frost), Alec Baldwin (Santa Claus) a muscular, tattooed Santa, Hugh Jackman (the Easter Bunny) a majestic bunny who has loads of tricks up his sleeve, the silent Sandman, who conjures dreams out of golden sands, Isla Fisher (the Tooth Fairy) a hyper half hummingbird-half princess who leads a flock of mini-fairies and Jude Law (Pitch Black) the evil ghost.

The story centres on Boogeyman Pitch Black’s attempts to spread darkness and fear throughout the world and the Guardians of Childhood’s attempt to stop him from destroying the dreams of little children. The guardians Santa, Tooth Fairy, Sandman and Easter Bunny are loved by children everywhere. When the Man on the Moon appoints Jack Frost to be

the newest guardian, Frost rejects the idea and feels he cannot be a guardian to the children. The kids on the other hand, have not heard of him since ages and think he has disappeared. The other guardians also doubt that Jack can be of much help, especially against Pitch Black. But things change when Pitch spreads terror on the kids. The guardians realise they need all the help they can get. They rope in Frost to take on the mighty Pitch Black.

The animation effects are great in this film, the sound effects wondrous and the images razor sharp. The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. A thoroughly enjoyable family entertainer.

John Goodman joining the cast as a gangster called Marshall, who kidnaps their fourth friend, the always hapless Doug (Justin Bartha) and forces them to track down Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), who has decamped with his gold bars worth millions. The buddies Phil (Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan are given three days to hand over Chow to Marshall, or Doug will be killed.

Alan is responsible for the problem again, since he corresponded with Chow when he was in a Thai prison (from where he escaped).

AVERAGE GOOD VERY GOOD EXCELLENT

So this one’s darker and more of a thriller than a boozey-dopey slapstick comedy. The Wolfpack has to give up its juvenile behaviour, grow up and take responsibility for each other, this time seriously.

They were taking Alan to rehab to begin with, when the gangsters attacked.

There is political incorrectness here too, and animals come in for some needless carnage, but the laughs don’t flow and the whole adventure seems contrived. It’s just as well, that it ends when it does.

Easy for flat-owners to form own CHS

EXERCISE CAUTION BEFORE SELLING YOUR HOME IF you’re looking to sell your home and are strapped for cash, it’s always a better idea to sell your existing home before committing on a new one, especially now when the property market is at a lull.

The strict lending standards adopted by Housing Financial Companies (HFCs) in recent times can make it harder for you to find immediate potential buyers.

Moreover, paying off a home loan for two properties at a time could cause unnecessary strain.

Listed below are a few more things you should be aware of if you’re looking to sell your home: • Hiring a good real estate broker is one of the most important steps to getting a good price for your home. Ask your friends and acquaintanc-

es for recommendations and preferably get an agent who knows your neighbourhood well.

• As a seller, you should be aware of the accurate real market value of your home especially if you’re looking to buy a new one. This helps because it also indicates a budget for your new home. You’ll know you’ve made a mistake within the first two weeks after putting up the property on the market. Once you’ve realised that you’ve overpriced it, adjust it accordingly.

• Make a flexible strategy plan. Think about your initial asking price, how long can you stick to it before reduction? How low a price will you accept? Having a plan will help you react quickly and help you sell your home faster.

• Before showing a home to prospective buyers get rid of the clutter and to make it appear open and fresh.

• Don’t look too eager to sell. If prospective buyers think that you are desperate to sell, they will try their best to make you accept a bargain. If you are in a hurry to sell, offer an incentive to your broker such as a higher commission for a speedy sale.

• In these tough times, buyers always have more negotiating power but if you think the price being offered is too low than you expected, either make a counter offer, wait until the next buyer or till the market value increases.

• Don’t jump onto any deal just because you’re desperate for a sale. If you’re running out of time and are unable to sell it for whatever reasons, consider renting it out. The incoming rent will help you stay abridge your existing home loan. Notify the renters that the home will always be accessible for showings to potential buyers.

How can flat purchasers initiate a procedure to form a Cooperative Housing Society? How much is the builder involved in the process?

- Amit Joglekar Very often many flat purchasers don’t receive any cooperation from their respective builders to help them begin the procedures towards the formation of a registered cooperative housing society.

In such situations, flat purchasers should take the initiative and initiate procedures to form a cooperative housing society themselves.

Before submitting a registration proposal without any cooperation from the builder, flat purchasers should first draft a letter to the builder indicating their intention to form a cooperative housing society.

A copy of such a letter should also be addressed to the Deputy or Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies of the Ward where such a building is located.

The copy should include a request to call upon the concerned builder to furbish an explanation regarding his failure to comply with the provisions of the Maharashtra Ownership Flat Act, (MOFA) 1963.

The chief promoter then has to submit a number of documents, statements, undertakings etc., along with the registration proposal. The registration authority should be satisfied: a) The proposed society has complied with the provisions of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960, the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Rules, 1961 and any other laws that are in force for the time being; b) The proposed society has complied with the policy directions issued by the state government under section 4; c) The bye-laws being proposed are not contrary to the Act or Rules.

Once the proposal procedures are complete and the registration authorities are satisfied, the registering officer is under an obligation under section 59(1) of the MOFA to register such proposed societies within two months of the lodging of the application with the registering authority. If the registration is not completed within two months, then within fifteen days from the expiration of the time limit, the registration authority is under an obligation to forward the proposal for registration to the government for further action.

LEGALITY OF OWNERSHIP What is the procedure for clearing out all legal discrepancies in the title of a property before one invests money in it? Is it a lengthy one that needs the involvement of a lawyer? Could they create any problems in the future vis-à-vis the legality of the ownership or possession?

- Shanti Goel There are a few factors need to be fulfilled in order to obtain a clear title to a property. The owner of the property has to firstly produce all the originals of the

LEGAL QUERIES

Flat purchasers should take the initiative and initiate procedures to form a CHS themselves. title deeds in his possessions after which records pertaining to the property have to be searched from the specific offices maintaining them.

Even slight discrepancies in the title of the property can lead to immense problems in the future vis-à-vis rights that arise from ownership and possession.

Like public notices that have to be issued in newspapers inviting claims or objections from anyone affected in respect of the said transaction. Following the public notice, if an objection is lodged, the person should be asked to substantiate it within a stipulated period of time or else, ignored.

For a transaction to be considered valid in a court of law, it must be registered accordingly. The registration of a document serves as a notice of the transaction to those affected by it. The seller has to clearly mention in unequivocal terms that there are no encumbrances or mortgages on the property being sold.

Very often, several months after the deal has been struck, an unassuming buyer realises that the property purchased has been mortgaged to someone else and that he has been duped.

Often, in order to save on a little money, a buyer may ignore the registration aspect of a document. If a document isn’t registered properly, it fails to confer any title to the buyer who could land with several problems.

However, mere registration of the document doesn’t affirm its genuineness.

Both the parties need to have executed the document and shouldn’t be in dis-

pute with regard to the transaction.

The sole registration of a document very often is commonly misunderstood as being evidence of a transaction. This, however, doesn’t provide whole and complete proof of execution which needs to be fulfilled.

Incidentally, for premises purchased in a registered co-operative society, a buyer needs to check a few documents before going in for the deal.

The share certificate issued by the society to the owner has to be checked in order to authenticate the owner’s credentials and standing in the society. Very often, the seller could himself be a subtenant in a society flat with the actual owner oblivious of the transaction. In that case, the seller would be unable to produce the share certificate in his favour.

In case, the deed has been lodged for registration, the seller should be asked to produce certified true copies of such conveyance, sale deeds and other documents along with the original receipt of the sub-registrar where the document has been lodged for registration.

In case, a buyer opts for a flat in a society that hasn’t been registered, he should look for previous chain of agreements with past owners; Original stamped receipts of payments issued to the previous and present owners by the builder/development authority/society and transfer authorisation papers from the respective authority as well as a copy of approved plan and occupancy certificate issued by the civic body.

The object of the game is to place all the tiles in the grid so that the figures on the adjacent edges of each tile match. You can place any tile anywhere in the grid, but you cannot place a tile in the grid if its edges do not match all of its neighbors. Find a digit that occurs only once on a given puzzle. You know that this digit must lie along the outer edge of the grid, since there are no other tiles that can match it. You can simplify solving by cutting out the nine squares and juggling them in the grid.

Polo at the centre of the racecourse.

By Timur

B

alasaheb Thackeray was a close – very close – friend during the early stage of my life. I used to go to his home at Shivaji Park and hold discussions with his father who had a philosophic mindset. Once I wrote how he built up his party – all by himself. The very next day the article in the Afternoon was published in Thackeray’s paper Saamna.

He was a great leader. After his demise, the party is desperately searching for space for erecting a suitable memorial. It did not succeed in its effort to erect a memorial at the place where he was cre-

Visitors to the racecourse relaxing in the lush garden. mated.

The party is now making an effort to build the memorial at the Mahalakshmi’s racecourse. To say the least, it is an unwise move.

Mahalakshmi racecourse has heritage status. It can only conduct heritage activities there. The structures there are over 100 years old, there are many 100-year old trees.

It is a vast green patch. Unlike other clubs, the RWITC is open to the public. For people, it is free entry – for jogging, for walking and riding.

The Amateur Riders Club is there – which teaches riding to children and older persons. At the centre of the side, there is a vast ground where K.N. Dhunjibhoy

They can walk along with their pet dogs too.

various sports activities take place. The municipality should utilize this space for the benefit of school children. There is a possibility for arrangement of various items.

Racing takes place from November to May every year.

This means all public activities can fully go on – except on the tracks, stable, grandstands, administration structures – for the rest of the year.

A covetous eye on the racecourse It is not just this time that a controversy with regard to the lease has arisen. There has always been a covetous eye on the beautiful space, abounding in greenery by the sea. In 1973, for instance, when a 30-year lease expired, an attempt was made to take over the racecourse. A representation was made to shift the racecourse to Bhandup or Mulund.

Mr. M.K. Pudumjee who was the club’s secretary then pointed out that under the BMC Act, the portion of the area under lease to the club – except the periphery along the Clark Road is a scheduled plot to be left open and not built upon so as to provide a lung for the health and wellbeing of the citizens in that area. The open space assured good health for the citizens and also racing. The race course is the best in South East Asia and because of this, it would attract global

tourists to the racecourse.

All sorts of suggestions have been made with regard to the use of the racecourse.

The most mind-boggling suggestion was by the city’s union leader – who later became a minister in the union government: “We must build thousands of small huts for the poor in the city.

It is quite surprising that the municipality has, all of a sudden, wants to make the Mahalakshmi racecourse a garden.

Its decision in this regard is more than meets the eye.

Open spaces often misused The citizens know very well how the gardens are being maintained in the city and suburbs. Very often open spaces, set up for a garden, are being misused: builders finally get it. Open spaces are often used for purposes other

than they are meant to be.

Mr. K.N. Dhunjibhoy, chairman of the RWITC hopes that all controversies will go away and the Mahalakshmi racecourse will continue to remain the most prominent landmark in the city “I am hopeful that we will be able to sort out the problems. Do you notice in the garden we have some of the oldest trees – more than a century old”.

Both Dr. Cyrus S. Poonawalla and Mr. Shyam Ruia expressed the hope that things will work out well and the sport of kings will flourish within a landscape abounding in greenery.

And finally – racing itself – a heritage activity – lasting over 100 years must survive.

And my last observation: Balasaheb Thackeray must have a bigger, better splendid memorial. There have been very few leaders like him in our country.

Close finish... The thrills and chills of racing.

RWITC has done more for city than any other open space licencee – Vivek Jain O

ver the last two years, under my Marketing Group we have striven to make Mahalaxmi a vibrant open space for the city of Mumbai. The initiatives were path breaking and for the first time in the history of the RWITC.

We realised that whereas we ran the sport successfully for decades, we also have a responsibility to manage Mumbai's most prominent green lung and to make it far more inclusive for the city we all love.

What did we do?

Innovate with Tribe@Turfa community to draw non

Mr. Vivek Jain

racing fraternity to our premises Culture: events such as Marathi Banaa to showcase the Marathi heritage The Farmers Market targeted at organic farm produce Charity: Red Cross, Indian Cancer, Sneha, Home for Destitute, Drought Relief, Rotary Club etc. raising crores Open Spaces: an exhibit with Citispaces Sport: Football training for young kids Wellness: Pranic healing, meditation, joggers, walkathons Music: Across all genres and ranging from classical to youth

The list is endless. We have done more for the city than perhaps any other open space licencee in Mumbai.

No signing of lease today The lease agreement between the RWITC and the BMC which ended yesterday will not be renewed today. The BMC and the government take their own time to okay the agreement.

On one occasion the agreement was signed eight years after the licence period had ended.

SERENA STORMS PAST SORANA 24

SPORTS

P

ARIS: Serena Williams stormed past Sorana Cirstea 6-0, 6-2 in the French Open third round today, extending her winning streak to 27 matches and putting down a significant marker of her title potential.

It merely took eight games and 33 minutes before her 26thseeded Romanian opponent made a mark on the scoreboard, a feat that was greeted with sympathetic cheers from the Parisian crowd.

The world number one broke three times in the opening set and although she found the going tougher in the second, losing two early games and facing break points, she had too much power for Cirstea.

Maria Sharapova survived a string of unforced errors to book her place in the third round with a 6-2, 6-4 rain-delayed win against Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard. The defending champion, seeded second at Roland Garros, returned to Court Philippe Chatrier leading 6-2, 4-2 after the match had been interrupted by rain late on Thursday.

Despite Bouchard’s late fight and a total of 28 unforced errors from the Russian, Sharapova wrapped it up in 15 minutes on her first match point.

Defending champion Rafa Nadal stuttered for the second time so far before moving through to the third round with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Slovakia’s Martin Klizan. The Spaniard, looking for his eighth Roland Garros title, looked ill at ease as fellow left hander Klizan

came out swinging and dropped the first set before raising his game enough to claim victory in two hours 44 minutes. Thursday’s heavy rain meant the match was one of several second round ties held over and having not played since Monday, Nadal was clearly not firing on all cylinders.

On Monday he was pushed hard by Daniel Brands and world number 35 Klizan had obviously taken a leaf out of the German’s book with some heavy hitting from the baseline to break the misfiring Spaniard’s serve in the eighth game.Klizan brought up set point with a second serve ace and claimed the opener in 40 minutes.

Third seed Nadal took the second set and then moved a break ahead in the third but wobbled at 3-2 when Klizan earned two break points, only to squander his chance to draw level. Klizan’s challenge then faded and Nadal, without looking totally convincing and carelessly dropping serve late in the fourth set, secured a Saturday clash with Italian Fabio Fognini.

Veteran Tommy Haas taught young Jack Sock a stern lesson in Grand Slam play, outsmarting the American 7-6(2), 6-3, 7-5 to move into the third round.

The powerful Sock was able to stand toe-to-toe with the 35-yearold in the power department, but has nowhere near the German’s variety or court stewardship yet.

No.12 seed Maria Kirilenko was in no mood for pity, thrashing 17year-old Australian Ashleigh Barty 6-3, 6-1.

cently, said as a cricketer he has always learnt to play in the true spirit of the game.

“It has always hurt me when the game of cricket is in the news for the wrong reasons. The developments in the last two weeks have been shocking and disappointing. As cricketers we are always taught to go out, fight hard, give our very best and play in the true spirit of the game,” Tendulkar said in a statement.

The milestone man of Indian cricket said it was important that the authorities get to the root of the problem.

India win inaugural Asian Team Snooker Championship

Developments are shocking and disappointing: Tendulkar EW DELHI, May 31 (PTI) Breaking his silence on the raging spot-fixing scandal, Sachin Tendulkar today said that the developments of the last two weeks were “shocking and disappointing” and the faith reposed by the millions of fans in the game should be justified.

Tendulkar said the authorities must take sincere steps to get to the root of the issue and ensure that credibility of the game is restored.

UMBAI/NEW DELHI: More embarrassing information today tumbled out of police interrogation of Gurunath Meiyappan that he was warned by ICC to keep away from bookies at the start of IPL 6, pushing his fatherin-law and BCCI President N Srinivasan further to the corner as the chorus for his ouster grew.

On the other front, pressure mounted on Srinivasan with three top BCCI officials reportedly asking him to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the current crisis. An early meeting of the BCCI is not ruled out, sources said.

Iconic player Sachin Tendulkar today lent his voice of concern over the “shocking and disappointing” developments that have rocked Indian cricket in the last two weeks and asked the authorities to take sincere steps to get to the root of the issue.

Mumbai Police sources claimed that during interrogation Gurunath, arrested on charges of betting, had told investigators that he was warned by officials of the anti-corruption unit to keep away from suspicious characters.

They said Gurunath did not use the word bookies apparently because it was obvious to him and to the police that he was dealing with a bookie like Vindoo

Dara Singh and allegedly placing bets. “Be careful, I have been warned,” Meiyappan had told actor Vindoo Randhawa who is also under arrest in the case. This is part of Meiyappan’s statement to the crime branch, the source said, adding Vindoo has corroborated it.

The source declined to reveal the name of the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) official and said they were yet to corroborate it with the ICC. “We are yet to corroborate Meiyappan’s statement with ICC and we at the moment don’t even know if any person by that name (given by Meiyappan) exists,” he said.

NEW DELHI: The Indian team, consisting of Manan Chandra, Brijesh Damani and Alok Kumar, clinched the inaugural Asian Team Snooker Championships after blanking Iran 3-0 in the title clash in Doha, Qatar. The Indian cueists were in red-hot form right from the start and topped their group with three wins from as many games. After the group stages, India were the only team to remain undefeated. Pakistan, China and Thailand finished on top of their respective groups but suffered a defeat each. India had little obstruction in clinching gold as they had outplayed Qatar 3-1 in the quarterfinals, beat Afghanistan 3-1 in the semi-finals before registering a clean sweep against Iran scoring 61-49 (Single); 58-16 (Single); and 63-55 (doubles), last night.

GMs Levon, Levan in joint lead after four rounds

MUMBAI: GM Babujian Levon (ELO 2488) of Armenia and GM Pantsulaia Levan (ELO 2563) of Georgia held the joint lead with four points each at the end of the 4th round in the Rs 21.5 lakh prize money 6th Mumbai Mayor International Chess Tournament 2013, hosted by The National Sports Club of India and co- cponsored by LIC of India, being played in the indoor arena of the National Sports Club of India, here, on Friday.

21 foreign Grandmasters in a total of 48 foreign players have confirmed participation in one of the biggest chess tournaments of India. GM Levon upset his countryman and 3rd seed, GM Andriasian Zaven (ELO 2608).

The game of English opening between top seed GM Mchedlishvili Mikheil (ELO 2645) of Georgia and GM Papin Vasily (ELO 2552) of Russia ended in a quick draw after 12 moves.On the 3rd table GM Levan opted for Reti opening against IM Rahul Sangma (ELO 2382) of Railways. On the 20th move Rahul exchanged his Queen and opted for equal endgame. But on the 22nd move Levan forced him to give his Rook for the Knight and won the game in 42 moves.
