Short News Narendra Modi Cabinet approves amendment to Dalit atrocities law New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government has decided to bring a constitution amendment bill in Parliament to restore the original provisions of the SC/ST Act, under pressure from alliance partners - including Ram Vilas Paswan’s LJP and Ramdas Athawale’s RPI. The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved an amendment to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The amendment, if passed by Parliament, will in effect nullify the Supreme Court judgment pronounced on March 20. The judgment had diluted the SC/ST Act to state that immediate arrest of an accused under this law would no longer be mandatory. The arrest was to follow a preliminary enquiry by the probing agency or the police.

In a first, MP govt offers to bear athlete’s expenses for Asiad
Bhopal: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) recently took an ‘arbitrary’ decision of not sending female karatekas for the upcoming 18th Asian Games despite them being selected for the quadrennial event following trials in Bhopal. While the IOA decided to remove them including two players from Madhya Pradesh Supriya Jatav and Nidhi Nanhet - from the Indian contingent, the state government took a unique initiative to bear the expenditure of one of the rejected athletes if IOA gives the go ahead. Supriya, a seven-time national champion and gold medallist in the 8th Senior Commonwealth Karate Championship 2015, is in Iran training for the Asian Games. Little did she know when she left the country last month that IOA’s decision will shatter her all dreams. “She is a medal prospect for the Asian Games. She defeated Pegah Zanganeh, Iranian captain and Asian champion, 8-1 in Senior Asian Championship held in Jordon last month,” sports director Dr SL Thaosen said.
City’s IIT grad develops threeplayer chess
Bhopal: When he was a child he used to get irritated when he was unable to take part in a chess game played by his elder brother and cousin as number of players was restricted to only 2. So much so that when he became an IIT- Roorkee graduate, Aditya Nigam, 26, from Bhopal developed India’s first three-player Chess - the Triwizard Chess. “I started playing chess when I was in KG-1. The game fascinated me a lot but I hated that only 2 players can play at one time. So I decided to develop the game for three players and today my dream has come true”, said Aditya Nigam while talking to said.

RBI’s second-consecutive increase in repo rate comes as a bad news for those who have taken loans from banks
Home, car loan EMIs to get costlier as RBI hikes repo rate by 25 basis points
New Delhi : The Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), in its third bi-monthly statement, hiked the key repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.50 per cent. RBI’s second-consecutive increase in repo rate comes as a bad news for those who have taken loans from banks. This is likely to lead to an increase in the interest bank customers pay on loans, be it home loan, car loan or personal loan. Here’s how your EMIs are likely to be affected: Assume you have taken a Rs 20 lakh home loan, which currently carries an interest rate of 8.4 per cent for 20 years tenure. That means that your EMI at present is Rs 17,230. But if your bank hikes its interest rate by 25 bps to
pass on the burden of the repo rate hike, at 8.65 per cent interest rate your EMI will go up by Rs 317 to Rs 17547. For entire tenure the impact would be bigger as the borrower would need to pay Rs 76,012 more as interest of the loan. The current rate hike comes on the back of rising crude oil prices, hike in the MSP for paddy by a record Rs 200 per quintal, rupee depriciation against the
US dollar, impact of HRA revision of inflation and recent farm loan waivers. Repo rate, short for Repurchase Rate, is basically the rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks against the pledge of government securities, whenever the banks are in need of funds to meet their dayto-day obligations. Generally, these loans are for short duration up to 2 weeks. When the RBI increases the repo rate, banks usually pass on the burden to the customers. This is the second hike in eight weeks. Before that, the repo rate was last raised in January 2014, before the Modi-led BJP government came to power.

Mumbai : The National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) told the Bombay High Court Tuesday that it has found an alternate parcel of land that the Godrej Group suggested as “suitable” for acquisition to implement the bullet train project.

Urban Co-op Banks: Violations seen across 621 lenders during note ban, reveals RBI
Mumbai : A scrutiny of urban cooperative banks (UCBs) by the Reserve Bank of India has revealed that violations and discrepancies were seen across 621 UCBs during the demonetisation period post November, 2016. Gujarat, at 142, had the highest number of UCBs where violations were observed by the RBI, followed by 138 UCBs in Maharashtra, 65 in Tamil Nadu and 56 in Karnataka, according to data presented in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday by P Radhakrishnan, Minister of State in the finance ministry, Of the total 1,562 UCBs in the country, four states account for 71 per cent of the urban cooperative banks. As on March 31, 2017, Maharashtra has the highest number of UCBs at 502, followed by Karnataka at 264,
Gujarat at 220 and Tamil Nadu at 129, as per separate RBI data on latest state-wise distribution of UCBs in the country. “Further, as informed by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), a total of 50169 Cash Transaction Reporting (CTR) and 524 Suspicious Transaction (STRs) have been reported to FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit)-
India by 112 DCCBs (District Central Cooperative Banks) during demonetisation period,” Radhakrishnan said. Banks are required to file CTRs with the FIU for cash deposits and withdrawals exceeding a certain limit in bank accounts, while STRs are filed for any suspicious activity observed in the account. In the month of November 2016, when demonetization was announced, the Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank Ltd (in Gujarat) reported the highest number of CTRs at 2,517, followed by Kolhapur District Central Cooperative Bank at 2,257 (Maharashtra), Sabarkantha District Central Cooperative Bank at 2,186 (Gujarat) and Nasik District Central Cooperative Bank (Maharashtra).
Gujarat Minister Ranchhod Faldu on Tuesday said that he suspected “something amiss” and promised to take action if NAFED filed a complaint
Gujarat: As traders reject ‘adulterated’ stock of groundnut, state government, NAFED pass the buck Rajkot : After traders refused to take delivery of groundnut from a godown alleging adulteration in the stock, originally belonging to the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of Indian Limited (NAFED), Agriculture Minister Ranchhod Faldu on Tuesday said that he suspected “something amiss” and promised to take action if NAFED filed a complaint. NAFED, however, said it had no power to file a police complaint and instead blamed the purchasing agency, GUJCOT, for it. The issue came to light after five traders who had placed the winning bids during an auction conducted by NAFED to sell 30,000 bags (each containing 35
by a youth leader here on Wednesday over her alleged provocative remarks on Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) draft. Sudipta Hazarika, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Parishad, filed the complaint over Banerjee’s remarks on Tuesday that the NRC in Assam could lead to a “bloodbath and a civil war in the country”, the police said.
kg) of groundnut-in-shell refused to take delivery of groundnut on Tuesday alleging that the groundnut stock was mixed with soil and pebbles. The five, who had gone to a warehouse in at Pedhla village of Jetpur taluka in Rajkot district on Tuesday morning to take the delivery, claimed that the groundnut stock at the godown was not the same as the samples shown during the auction. NAFED officers said that 10,500 quintal of groundnut stored in the godown of Jayshree International was worth Rs 4.72 crore. It had been auctioned off around a week ago at an average price of Rs 3,700 per quintal. Following the news, Agriculture Minister Faldu held a press conference in
Gandhinagar and said: “We suspect some irregularities have been committed here. The state government is ready to take action if NAFED comes forward with a complaint in this regard.” But NAFED Chairman Vaghji Boda hit out at Faldu and the state government. “Apparently, he (Agriculture Minister) is not aware of what he is talking about. NAFED has no direct jurisdiction to file a police complaint in this incident as the groundnut stock in question was procured by GUJCOT on our behalf. Therefore, primarily it is incumbent upon GUJCOT to report irregularities, if any to police. Our complaint in this matter may not be maintainable.”

Only good days ahead for the India-UK partnership
If Facebook had been around in the 1950s, the relationship status for the UK and India would have been “it’s complicated”. Seventy years on, looking back over my own time in India as I prepare to leave, I’m struck by how much has changed. When I first visited in 1992, India had just embarked on a major programme of economic liberalisation. The generation for whom a major reference point — for good or ill — was the UK, was giving way to a cohort consuming American TV and shaped by the wave of IT emigration to California. Vasant Kunj was just emerging and Gurgaon was still a Bollywood dream. New flyovers appeared on a monthly basis, and my ability to negotiate routes with Punjabi taxi drivers, before the days of Google Maps, Uber and Ola, was eroding fast. When I returned in 2005, Sir Michael Arthur was British High Commissioner — symbolically, the first in his position to be born after 1947. India was experiencing greater consumerism, development, and international policy debate. A tiny number of foreign-funded think tankers were giving way to a Made in India policy community. Everybody wanted in on the India story: one of growth, opportunity and cultural confidence. The UK was a strong (and the first P5) backer of India for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council in 2002. Arriving again in 2015, this time as deputy high commissioner, the relationship had moved a huge distance from its complicated past. Bilateral trade was growing year on year (now over £18bn in goods and services). Our defence and security relationship deepened; Hawk trainer jets became the mainstay of Indian Air Force training, and a commitment to Make in India underpinned industrial co-operation. A growing number of joint research programmes connected top Indian and British scientists, supporting a shared research ecosystem that flourishes to this day. Meanwhile the City of London became an anchor for raising capital to invest in India — with masala (rupee denominated) bonds just the latest example. As our diplomatic presence grew (we now have around 950 staff), so did our network. We opened deputy high commissions in Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Hyderabad and upgraded our representation in Bangalore. Diplomatic appointments demonstrated the success of Indian-origin Britons, with desi deputy high commissioners variously heading our offices in Kolkata, Mumbai, and now Chennai. Today, the scale of exchange between the two countries is astounding: over 1.2 million journeys last year. The latest figures show a 35% increase in visitors from India to the UK. More than half a million British visas were issued last year, and more Tier 2 work visas granted to Indian nationals than the rest of the world combined. Growing numbers of Indian students are studying in the UK once more, a 30% increase since last year.

Fanney Khan actor Anil Kapoor: I don’t believe in numbers and clubs
Mumbai : Anil Kapoor has survived in Bollywood for over three and a half decades. Ask him the secret of his career’s longevity and he is quick to respond, “I feel it’s the choices that I made. I was also lucky as I got good opportunities right from the beginning of my career. My films became successful, and when you get that success, you can make those choices. Of course, money was important, but it wasn’t the only parameter. My appetite to do different films and different kind of roles. Taking risks with my roles in Lamhe, Eeshwar and 1942: A Love Story. Most of these films were successful but even the ones which aren’t, people still remember them after 30 years. All this I feel has helped my longevity as an actor. I did films then that is relevant even today, and families can enjoy them together. The relatable characters in films like Nayak, Eeshwar, Ram Lakhan, No Entry and Welcome, you can watch over and over again. Even the music of my films like Taal, 1942: A Love Story, Ram Lakhan and Mr India, you still listen to them and like them.” He further added, “Then Slumdog Millionaire happened at the right time. Because it gave me the boost I needed.

Hollywood - Bollywood Naragasooran trailer: Karthick Naren gives us an introduction but retains surprise
Chennai : The trailer of Naragasooran was launched on Wednesday in Chennai. It’s interesting that the two minute and 15 seconds trailer reveals very little about the core plot of the film. A beautifully lit and shot trailer, the films talks about a ‘demon child’ and ‘Naragasooran’ being a commonly associated word with the Hamlet. But how does its demon theme tie the characters up together remains a question. Sharing the trailer on Twitter, Naragasooran director Karthick Naren wrote, “Presenting the official trailer of
#Naragasooran – An intense suspense drama. In cinemas from August 31.” There seems to be different chapters or perspectives for which there’s an introduction from each character. The trailer sort of sets up this narrative with similar shots of the characters near a fire. There’s also ‘the fear’ and ‘the myth’
narrative, leaving us in the dark about what the story is. Naragasooran stars Aravind Swamy, Shriya Saran, Sundeep Kishan, Indrajith and Aathmika among others. The film has no songs and is said to be set in the same universe as Karthick Naren’s first film Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. With Gautham Menon’s
exit, the film is now solely backed by Badri Kasthuri’s Shraddha Entertainment. “Want to share my joy & pleasure after seeing the #Naragasooran trailer a couple of days ago. Shows the intent of the storyteller; teases you with the mood, and makes you taste the essence of the narrative . I love this man more @karthicknaren_M . Trailer releasing on Aug 1st,” Arvind Swamy had tweeted earlier. Nagarasooran has been certified U/A, with a run time of one hour 50 minutes. The film will hit screens on August 31.
Kumar, though there are rumours that Aamir has offered Ranbir Kapoor the part. At the IMAX trailer launch of Gold, Akshay was asked whom he thinks is the best alternative for Mogul, to which he replied, “No one besides me.” Gold, directed by Reema Kagti, traces the journey of Tapan Das (played by Akshay) an assistant manager, who dreams to get a gold medal for the then newly-independent India. The film is based on true events about India winning its first Olympic gold medal in hockey as a free nation in 1948.
Kerala’s prominent ghazal singer PA Ibrahim, better known as Umbayee, passed away on Wednesday at a private palliative care facility in Aluva. He was 68. Dr Hyder Ali, who treated him at the hospital, told indianexpress.com that the singer had been brought in two days ago with complaints of breathlessness. He was in the final stage of lung cancer. The cancer had spread all over the body, the doctor said. The family was with him when he died at 4:35 pm today. Singer Umbayee was born in Mattanchery in west Kochi and grew up listening to different strains of music around him. He was known for his reinvention of several old Malayalam film songs in his own natural style.
Taapsee Pannu: In Mulk, we have not criticised any community
Mumbai : Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu, who turned 31 on Wednesday, says her forthcoming film Mulk presents “true patriotism and nationalism” and those who are having problems with it need to have an open mind. “True patriotism and nationalism have been presented in this film, and if anyone has a problem with it, then their idea is probably diluted and they are not open-minded (enough) to see the point from the other side as well. Whoever has a problem with
it… the problem lies within their minds,” Taapsee told Agency in an email interview. “I feel it’s better we have an open mindset to see what exactly we are trying to say. In Mulk, we have not criticised any community, and neither have we said any community is good or bad. We have just shown the true picture and left
it to the audience to make the choice,” she added. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film tells the story of a Muslim family trying to reclaim its lost honour. Releasing on Friday, the film also stars Rishi Kapoor, Prateik Babbar, Rajat Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana and Neena Gupta. Asked how the film could contribute to changing people’s mindsets, Taapsee said her intention was not to preach. “There has been a lot of prejudice around beliefs about communities and religion, (and also) caste, for
that matter. In this film, we deal with those prejudices and how they are wrong and how this conditioning has been done to our minds over all these years and to the benefit of certain people. “Over the years, we have been conditioned that certain communities need to be looked upon in a certain typical way. So I think we need to question the logic behind it. ‘Mulk’ is going to question that logic — and where did it start and why did it start and the need to change it immediately,” said.
Supreme Court paves way for release of Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai film Mumbai: The Supreme Court today paved the way for the release of Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Fanney Khan by refusing to stay its scheduled screening on August 3. A bench of justices R F Nariman and Indu Malhotra refused to stay the release of the movie on a plea filed by its producer Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment and Films Ltd which had alleged that he was cheated in respect of the film’s distribution rights which were “surreptitiously” given to Super Cassettes (T- Series). The petitioner had claimed that the sole distribution rights for Fanney Khan was sold to him for a sum of Rs 10 crore, out of which he had already paid an amount of Rs 8.50 crore. Pooja Entertainment and Films
Ltd has claimed that in November 2017, Kriarj Entertainment Private Ltd had approached them regarding distribution rights and release of the movie. “However, in connivance with Respondent no. 7 (T- Series), Respondent no. 1 (Kriarj Entertainment Private Ltd) herein has parted with its entire co-production and distribution rights in the said film in favour of Respondent no. 7, before and after the arrangement
and receipt of money from the petitioners, thus constituting a grave misdemeanour, which is liable to be remedied in a most equitable and exemplary manner,” the petition had said. Bhagnani’s petition had said that his company had filed a suit in the Bombay High Court against T-Series, KriArj Entertainment Pvt Ltd and others. The petitioner had also said they were oblivious about the case filed by T-Series against Pooja Entertainment and Films Ltd in the Delhi High Court in which T-Series had obtained an ex-parte order restraining Pooja Entertainment and Films Ltd from interfering with distribution and exhibition of Fanney Khan and another movie Batti Gul Meter Chalu. After negotiations, a memorandum of agreement was
executed on December 16 last year whereby distribution rights of “Fanney Khan” in India were given to Pooja Entertainment and Films, the plea had said. “Shockingly, and subsequent thereto, without being in the knowledge of the petitioners, it appears that Respondent no. 1 (Kriarj Entertainment) sold its remaining rights of 25 per cent in the film in question, to Respondent no. 7 (T-Series) through a letter dated April 19, 2018 citing financial and monetary constraints, with the result that Respondent no. 7 was given the entire 50 per cent rights in the film, which had earlier vested with Respondent no. 1 after its agreement with Respondent no. 6 (Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Pictures Pvt Ltd) on May 8, 2017,” the plea claimed.

Revenge, semis spot on India’s mind in quarterfinal clash against Ireland in World Cup
New Delhi : Their erratic campaign back on track, the Indian women’s hockey team would now be aiming to secure its first World Cup semifinal spot in 44 years by extracting revenge from giant-killers Ireland in the last-eight stage in London on Wednesday. India registered their first win of the tournament by sailing past Italy in a quarterfinal play-off last night and if If they manage to beat Ireland, it would ensure them only their second appearance in the World Cup last-four. The only time India had managed to enter the semi-finals of the show-piece event
was back in 1974 in Mandelieu, France where they eventually finished fourth. In the last edition of the tournament in Rosario, Argentina India had finished a disappointing eighth. Having come second best in their last two meetings, it would be quite a task for the Indians to beat Ireland. The Irish have been in ominous form having topped Pool B ahead of higher-ranked USA and India. World No.16 Ireland have already scripted history of sorts by outclassing USA 3-1 and India 1-0 before slumping to a 0-1 defeat against hosts England.

Serena Williams suffers career’s worst loss to Johanna Konta
English FA preparing for potential 2030 World Cup bid
New Delhi: England’s Football Association (FA) is carrying out a study into the feasibility of hosting the 2030 World Cup finals, FA chairman Greg Clarke said in a statement on Wednesday. England, who hosted the World Cup in 1966, failed in their most recent attempt to win the rights for the 2018 tournament, which was held in Russia. “Last month the English FA board agreed to conduct feasibility work into the possibility of putting itself forward to be UEFA’s potential candidate to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup,” Clarke said. “This work will take place during the new season
and no decision will be made until 2019. A South American trination bid involving Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay has already been announced for 2030. South American officials have said they are expecting a bid from England, possibly in alliance with the other parts of the United Kingdom. While the FA has not directly addressed the possibility of a joint bid, it is likely that their study will look into the potential benefits of such an approach — given the World Cup will expand to 48 teams in 2026. FIFA’s congress voted in June for a joint bid from the United States, Canada.
New Delhi : Twenty-three times major champion Serena Williams suffered the worst loss of her storied career on Tuesday, falling 6-1 6-0 to Britain’s Johanna Konta in the first round of the Silicon Valley Classic. After a routine hold to start the match, Williams lost the next 12 games in a one-sided affair that lasted less than an hour, stunning the partisan crowd of 3,000 at San Jose State University. Those expecting to see Williams continue to battle back after a difficult child birth last year were left disappointed as the 36-yearold committed 25 unforced errors to Konta’s nine and managed to put just
41 percent of her first serves into play. “I think she played well in the second set and I think I wasn’t sharp at all in the first set and she got confident and she clearly ran away with it,” the American said after the loss. Williams, who lost the Wimbledon final earlier this month to German Angelique Kerber, had never lost a match before where she did not win at least two games since turning pro in 1995. As poorly as Williams played, the 27-year-old Konta was sharp, firing six aces and smacking 17 winners to Williams’ nine while controlling the tempo of the match.
Kohli & Co. look to replicate class of 1986, 2007
New Delhi: India and England have battled each other on 17 occasions across the United Kingdom but the unfortunately for the visitors, victory has been hard to come by with only three Test series’ wins since their first tour in 1932. It is a nobrainer that the tag of poor travelers has persisted with the Indian team. For Virat Kohli and Co., the first Test at Edgbaston presents itself as the perfect opportunity to underline their credentials no 1 side in the longer format and spoil England’s 1000th Test. However, India’s record at Edgbaston is discouraging, to say the least with five losses in six Tests since 1967. Hence, replicating the feats of the class of 1986 and 2007 will be anything but easy. How the Indian batsmen tackle swing-bowling in English conditions will be key to India’s success in the summer. While the onus of
scoring the bulk of the runs remains with the front four, one must remember every batsman has a flaw. There are chances that even the great Virat Kohli might struggle against the moving ball as witnessed four years ago. So whether the Indian batsmen addresses the challenge by changing their stance or by altering shot selection is still everyone’s guess. But patience, mental fortitude and the ability to adapt to situations is the way forward. Under current weather conditions in the United Kingdom, tackling sideways movement will be equally challenging especially when the ball is pitched in the corridor of uncertainty. In the practice match against Essex, batting order mainstaysShikhar Dhawan and Cheteshwar Pujara struggled to make an impact as they failed to relinquish their reflexes at short notice.
Dhawan’s form is a real worry as he has been dropped in previous overseas Test series (three or more matches) . So along with the skill set, it is the mindset that matters most. During the 2014 tour, India’s slip fielding standards dropped significantly as they grassed six catches in three Tests. The culprits- Virat Kohli (Trent Bridge), Shikhar Dhawan (Southhampton) and the usually reliable Ajinkya Rahane (Lord’s). From standing too far back to simply being unable to catch hold of the chances, shoddy work in the slip cordon cost India dearly. Alastair Cook made merry in the third Test (2014) as Ravindra Jadeja dropped him on 15 and the left-hander ended up scoring 95. With a solid start, England scored 569/7 in the first innings and India eventually lost the Test by 266 runs. Repeated chopping and changing in personnel in the slips

Kurl-on which introduced its private brand of home furniture and retail outlets ‘Home Komfort’ expects this segment to contribute to a significant 10-15% of its total revenues of 2000 crore by the end of 2019. Addressing the announcement and the expansion plans of the company, Mr. Sudhakar Pai, Chairman and Managing Director, Kurl-on emphasizes on “Who better than a market leader and a brand that has remained strong for more than half a century, to pioneer the change and address this gap. Our years of experience and leadership in the mattress category besides our
strong manufacturing capabilities and retail presence will provide the backing that any brand leading a category shift requires and we are confident, we will emerge a leader in this segment too.” Keeping with the brand’s strategy of catering to unmet market and customer demands in the home furniture category, Kurl-on for the first time launched sofas in the semi-premium range. The newly launched range with diverse variants to choose from, will not only combine style and luxury with comfort and functionality but will also be available at price points, that address the large market gap between premium, luxury brands and the vast range provided by unorganized players. Price starting from INR 29,000/- all the way up to INR 1.7 lac, the new sofa collection will be available across Kurl-on’s exclusive brand outlet chain at www.homekomforts.
com. Home furniture category continues to largely remain an unorganized market in India, barring entry of few brands in the last few years. Existing offerings in the market leave a gaping gap in understanding the Indian customer who despite constantly evolving tastes, exposure and preference still looks for conventional factors such as quality, durability, valuefor-money pricing, among others. It is this consumer who continues to dominate the market and unfortunately he has little choice but to decide between premium luxuries at exorbitant pricing or good looking products at low prices, but poor in quality. Kurl-on currently has about 50000 lac sq ft and 31 exclusive outlets under its ‘Home Komfort’ retail chain and the company aims to further expand its exclusive brand outlets alongside the product portfolio expansion.

Highly India plans to produce 3 million AC compressors by FY20
Ahmedabad : Airconditioner compressor maker Highly Electrical Appliances India today said it is planning to increase its production capacity from two million compressors to three million by FY20. The company said it is yet to decide if the expansion will be in its current factory in the state or through a green field development. “From the investment point of view, we have doubled our production capacity from one million units to two million by FY17. We have an expansion plan to increase our
production capacity from two million units to three million by FY20,” said Li Haibin, chairman, Highly Electrical Appliances India. Sameer Bhargava, director and vice-president of the firm, said, “We are in the process of making a decision to expand a factory or build a new one. That will be depend on how the market grows and needs of our customers.”
The company, a joint venture between Japanbased Hitachi and Highly of China, had established its first facility in Sanand town of Ahmedabad district in 2013. “The airconditioner market grew at 12 per cent CAGR in India last year. Surprising thing is that growth in the inverter air-conditioner segment was 40 per cent last year, against our
expectation of 30 per cent,” said Bhargava. “We expect the market to grow at higher rates as the penetration is low,” he said, adding if the government extends some support to the sector, it will have a robust growth. “At present, if we import a finished air-conditioner compressor, the duty is 7.5 per cent, but if Indian manufacturers like us want to import high grade steel as raw material, the import duty is 10 per cent to 12 per cent,” he said adding that the cost of imported compressor is cheaper than that manufactured in the country.

Una Dalit flogging trial begins, first witness a doctor who treated victims
Ahmedabad : After more than two years since four Dalit youths were paraded and flogged by a group of alleged “gau rakshaks” in Una, the trial against 34 accused has begun with the first witness, a doctor who treated the victims first, to be examined by the prosecution on Friday. Last Friday, the trial court framed charges after one of the accused, Vikramsinh Gohil, who had gone absconding after getting interim bail, surrendered. Three months ago, the trial was shifted to Veraval from Una. Special
Public Prosecutor Dipendra Yadav told The Indian Express, “Charges have been framed and case is now listed at the stage of evidence of prosecution”. He said that first witness will be the medical officer who treated the victims at a hospital near Una, followed by officers at Rajkot and Ahmedabad civil hospitals
where the victims were treated. The CID had probed the case and chargesheeted 34 accused, including four policemen. The chargesheet revealed that Dalit youths were flogged for skinning a dead cow actually killed by a lioness. The accused policemen twisted it into a case of “beef being found”. One of the main conspirators, Shantilal Monpara, president of Sanatan Charitable Trust, claiming to be working for protection of cows, was also arrested and was among the first to get bail. On
Naliya rape case: Congress demands probe by sitting Gujarat High Court judge AHMEDABAD: Accusing the BJP government of shielding its party leaders facing rape charges, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Paresh Dhanani, on Tuesday demanded that the probe into the Naliya sex scandal, that came to light in 2017, be conducted under the supervision of a sitting judge of the Gujarat High Court. The probe into the incident is currently being conducted by a commission headed by Justice(retd) A L Dave. Addressing mediapersons in Gandhinagar, the Congress leader alleged that the probe into the rape of a Mumbai-based woman was handed over to a commission with a view to brush the issue under the carpet because the accused involved in the case were powerful politicians of the ruling BJP. Alleging that the BJP government had not taken any concrete step to instill a sense of confidence among the people in the Naliya rape case, Dhanani said that the woman victim would get justice only if the inquiry was conducted under the overall supervision of a sitting judge of the High Court. He
said that it was really very shameful that a total of 35 women, including minor girls, had been victimised in the sex racket but nothing had come out in the case so far. When asked no one had so far submitted any affidavit before the probe commission, not even the Congress workers, Dhanani said that it was the Congress that raised the issue outside and inside the Assembly following which the commission was set up. “But the real truth can come out only if the probe is held under the supervision of a sitting judge, and not by a panel headed by a retired judge,” he reiterated. He said that the government has full information about the incident but was deliberately avoiding to place them before the Assembly “because it would blast many myths about the chaal, charitra and chehra of the BJP”. Referring to the FIR registered against former BJP MLA Jayanti Bhanushali for allegedly raping a 21-year-old woman, Dhanani said the BJP leader was booked only after the issue was taken up by the media. Bhanushali is yet to be arrested by the police.

The company exported 747 units of the Etios series this month thus clocking a total of 14424units.

Under heavy police watch, Chakan situation returns to normal
Mumbai : A day after Maratha reservation agitation turned violent in Chakan, life in the industrial area of Pune started going back to normal on Tuesday, even as the town and its surrounding areas turned into a fortress with heavy police deployment. As a symbolic step towards restoring normalcy, police personnel organised a route march that started from Chakan police station, which had come under heavy stone-pelting on Monday, forcing policemen to hide to keep themselves safe. The march covered the main streets in the area. Senior police officials also held meetings with local leaders and residents and assured them that law and order will be maintained in Chakan. Senior police officials, including Inspector General of Kolhapur range Vishwas Nangre Patil, Superintendent of Police Sandeep Patil
and others remained in Chakan to monitor the situation closely. While shops, offices and eateries in the town opened on Tuesday morning, several burnt vehicles standing desolately on local roads served as a reminder of the very recent violence. “We had kept the shops closed on Monday morning as a bandh had been called. But we didn’t dare come back to our shops even later, when news of violence started coming in. Today, policemen have been posted in all areas. Some of them came to our shop and asked for CCTV footage. We have given them whatever we had, as have other commercial establishments,” said Keshav Sable, who works at a local hardware shop. A group of students from Gujarat, which was on its way to Sangli to participate in a sports competition and whose bus was gutted in the violence, were stranded in Chakan.
while announcing the revised the dates of Navratri vacation for schools — from October 15-October 21 declared last week to October 10-October 17. “The decision has been taken in consultation with Chief Minister Vijay Rupani to give seven days vacation during Navratri (including a Sunday) to ensure that the people of Gujarat, especially youths, can enjoy and celebrate Navratri, the symbol of religious and spiritual tradition,” Chudasma said on Tuesday. He added that the seven-day
vacation would not lead to loss of days in school’s educational activities as the same number of days have been deducted from Diwali vacation that has been curtailed — November 5-November 18. Chudasama also said that the Navratri vacation would not clash with any examinations in schools or colleges, and the decision was taken while noting “thin presence of students in schools and colleges during Navratri” and “people’s sentiments associated with the festival”. “The decision was not taken in a haste. It is a mature decision,” he added, rejecting the Opposition Congress’s charge that the government took the decision for “cheap publicity”.
Gujarat: As traders reject ‘adulterated’ stock of groundnut, state government, NAFED pass the buck
Rajkot : Even as Education Minister of Gujarat, Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, on Tuesday refused to budge on the decision to declare seven-day Navratri vacation for schools, calling it a “mature” decision of the state government, associations of private schools in Saurashtra and Surat said that they would defy the government’s order if they get support from the parents. At least 400 schools in Rajkot and over 800 in Surat have decided to protest against the government’s decision, saying that it would affect studies.

Gujarat: Two men held in sodomy-murder case may have killed 10 in one year, say police Surat : Police investigations have indicated that the two men arrested for allegedly sodomising and killing victims, may have killed 10 persons in the age range of 12 to 40 years in the last one year. Ajay Jadav (21) and Ravi Nayka (18), both residents of Uttarayan in Surat, were arrested on July 24 for kidnapping a 16-year old boy over six months ago. They allegedly sodomised and robbed the boy before dumping him at Mota Varachha on January 14. Looking at the severity of the case, the probe has been transferred to Surat Crime Branch, which took custody of the two men on Tuesday. “They have confessed to murdering 10 persons and sodomising two minors, in the past one-and-half years, but
till now three cases of murder and sodomy have been filed against the duo. In last one year, Surat police recovered nine unclaimed bodies, out of which Ajay and Ravi were involved in the murder of three persons. Six bodies remain unidentified. Our teams are accompanying them to different places where they had committed the murders based on their statements to the police. However, no bodies were recovered from those places,” R R Sarwaiya, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Surat Crime Branch, said. According to Crime Branch sources, Ajay and Ravi have told the interrogators that they used to sodomise their victims at knife point, and if challenged, they killed them by slitting their throats.
They have reportedly confessed to killing a ragpicker in Amroli area and a youth at Uttrayan railway crossing. The third victim was a man who had allegedly eveteased Jadav’s sister in Kapodara area. They have confessed to killing two more youths in Udhna and Dumas area of Surat. While Ajay drove the autorickshaw, his friend Ravu would sit in the auto as a passenger and hunt their victims. Their modus operandi was to sodomise the victim, kill them and mutilate their face beyond recognition. “Ravi and Ajay are a sort of sexual perverts who sodomised their victims at knife point. We are collecting evidence against them and are working on the claims made by them,” Sarwaiya added.
Ahmedabad : The Indian 60+ population is expected to grow from 8% of the population in 2010, to 19 percent by 2050 as per United Nations Population Division estimates. India is expected to have more than 300 million people over the age 60 by 2050.Increasing chronic diseases pose main threat. In such a scenario, it is expected that home health services will play a very critical role in contributing towards a healthy India. Lately, home healthcare has transformed the way India looks at elderly care. Terming the progressively growing Indian Home Healthcare as the main disrupter for the next decade, Healthcare Federation of India (NATHEALTH) has recommended that the government needs to
put in place a transparent policy framework pertaining to regulation and quality. According to NATHEALTH, availability of insurance can be a game changer for this rapidly growing sector. Health insurance penetration in the country is very less and home care is still excluded. To ensure holistic support to the patient, there is a need of convergence of health insurance and home healthcare especially for post-hospitalization needs. This will pave the path for growth of home healthcare. “Home Healthcare will be the most disruptive trend in the next decade. However challenges are many. The major challenge is to find skilled nurses and other allied health professionals to work for this segment. There
is also a need to up skill hospital employees and guide their expansion. Medical professionals need to create a support environment where problems are resolved professionally. Moreover, nonavailability of insurance coverage for home care is a roadblock for a robust ecosystem,” said Mr Anjan Bose, Secretary General, NATHEALTH. “Now the government’s main focus is on health insurance under Ayushman Bharat Mission, hence, it is high time for insurers to capitalize on this opportunity to include home care to quickly grow and increase their scope of coverage. Insurers can provide it as a separate or add-on service to differentiate their product offerings,” he added.
Ahmedabad : Permission to enter private tourist buses in the state of Gujarat from 11 am to 7 pm is given by the Government of Gujarat. In pursuance of the entire Gujarat Tourism Vehicle Administrator M a h a m a n d a l (AGVPSM), the Government of Gujarat has been repeatedly told that, like in other states, even in Gujarat, private tourist buses are allowed to enter during the day. For the last several years, the campaign for this is being done by the AllGujarat Tourism Director General Mahamandal. Metro City with large and densely populated population like Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai, Madras, Bangalore, there is no law for such tourists, which is inadequate in our Gujarat
government policy and Gujarat Tourism policy. Travelers of Gujarat also face the menace for traveling during the day. For this, some questions have been presented to the Gujarat government by the All Gujarat Tourism Director General, Mahamandal, Chairman of the All Gujarat Tourism Vehicle Mahamandal (AGVPSM), Mr. Haribhai Patel, President Mr. Meghjibhai Khetani, Secretary Mr. Rajubhai Thakker, President of GTVOA Mr. Ganeshbhai Joshi, Secretary Mr. Kiran Modi, and Vice President of AC, Mr.
Gajendrabhai Duggad and Joint Secretary Mr. Nandubhai Kabra. The topic of the tourists was introduced. According to Mr Haribhai Patel, chairman of the (AGVPSM), “Private buses have not been allowed during the day, due to which the tourists have to suffer a lot, they can not reach at some point in time, and for that we have been doing the presentation for the past many years but No action has been taken so far. If the private bus operators are on strike for one day then the tourists will be more difficult.
Home Healthcare will be the most disruptive trend in the next decade: NATHEALTH
