A 22-year-old villager was today injured in an attack by a leopard in Marmat forest belt of Doda district in Jammu and Kashmir, the police said. Imtiaz Ahmed was attacked by the leopard near his house at Rachoo Goha village in Marmat area, 31 km from Doda town. “When Ahmed came out of his house to answer nature’s call, the feline pounced on him. He raised an alarm and his family members and neighbours ran out to help,” DSP Headquarters Doda Iftkhar Ahmed said. He was rushed to Goha primary health centre for treatment. The police officer said.
before Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar also named the others including Tyagi’s cousin Sanjeev alias Julie and advocate Gautam Khaitan in the Rs 450 crore chopper deal bribery case. CBI had alleged that Khaitan was the “brain” behind how the bribe money reached India and several firms, through which the money
travelled, came into existence and that Sanjeev was known to alleged European middleman Carlo Gerosa. 71-year old S P Tyagi was arrested by CBI on December 9 last year along with Sanjeev Tyagi and Khaitan in the case relating to alleged irregularities in the procurement of 12 VVIP choppers from UK-based Agust-
aWestland during the UPA-2 regime. He was later granted bail by the trial court on December 26. Tyagi had retired as IAF chief in 2007. S P Tyagi is the first Chief of the Indian Air Force to be named in a corruption or a criminal case by the CBI. Others named in the chargesheet include alleged European middlemen in the deal, Carlo Gerosa and Guido Haschke. The FIR also names former AgustaWestland CEO Bruno Spagnolini, former Finmeccanica Chairman Giuseppe Orsi and the Anglo-Italian company, AgustaWestland, as accused in the case. CBI has alleged that during his tenure as Air Chief, Tyagi and,
with his approval the Air Force, conceded to reduce the service ceiling for VVIP helicopters from 6000 metres to 4500 metres as mandatory, which it had been earlier vehemently opposing on the grounds of security constraints and other reasons. CBI has claimed that the reduction of the service ceiling, or the maximum height at which a helicopter can perform normally, allowed AgustaWestland to come into the fray as, otherwise, its helicopters were not qualified for submission of the bids. It also alleged that AgustaWestland had managed to introduce a comparative flight trial with non-functional engines.

She also scored 196.75 out of 200 for medical and 199.76 out of 200 for engineering seat. Her outstanding scores in class 12 in all likelihood could have helped her in cracking the medical entrance exam. Unfortunately, she could not make it to the NEET. She had

The verdict came after the Centre refused to endorse Tamil Nadu’s draft ordinance seeking exemption from NEET for one year.

Former-Congress MLA Raghavji Patel joins BJP; seventh in last ten days
SS News | Jamnagar
Former Gujarat Congress MLA Raghavji Patel, who voted against senior leader Ahmed Patel in the Rajya Sabha elections held last month, on Friday became the latest entrant to the BJP in the pollbound state. Ahead of him, six MLAs of the opposition party crossed over to the ruling party during the last ten days. Three MLAs of the Congress had joined the saffron party
ahead of the August 8 RS polls. Joining the BJP in presence of Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and state unit BJP president Jitubhai Vaghani at a function in Jamnagar, Patel alleged that some leaders of the Congress were involved in the Patel quota agitation in 2015. He represented Jamnagar (Rural) seat before resigning from the party. The former MLA claimed that leaders of the Congress were involved in the quota stir that had sparked a largescale violence across Gujarat, claiming ten
lives. “I want to tell my Patidar friends that we (Congress leaders) were also involved in the Patel quota stir. I was also actively involved in it. I had not only participated in it, but also helped the agitators. I hereby openly admit that I even incited them,” Patel said. He expressed hope that the ruling party would resolve the reservation issue. “The key issue of the stir was employment and education (of Patels). I realised that BJP leaders are equally concerned about it.

2 / Dt. 02-09-2017, Saturday Editors’ Picks Saturday, 02 september, 2017 India’s GDP growth rate had started to drop even before demonetisation
Is there a limit to how much reform an economy can take? The June quarter GDP figures have surprised many by registering 5.7%, the lowest growth rate since Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected. The continuing fall in industrial production, down to just over 1% growth, was largely to blame. Critics have been quick to blame demonetisation and the introduction of the goods and service tax. The new bankruptcy code and the cleaning up of the real estate sector are also darkening the horizon. There can be no doubt all that of these have had a role to play, but it is also true India’s GDP growth rate had started to droop even before demonetisation. As is normally the case, there are multiple reasons for what afflicts the economy. But slowing down on reforms is not the solution. It should not be forgotten that one of the key drivers of growth before 2008-09, exports is now a shadow of what it once was. The banking sector crisis and corporate debt problem were legacies of the past government. The Modi government’s decision to go ahead with major structural reforms despite these conditions was commendable. It is important to get a sense of what the combination of these reforms will do the economy. Demonetisation, GST and real estate reforms will massively reduce the cash based informal sector of the Indian economy — as much as half the country’s GDP. The end result of this will be a greater formalisation of the economy which will mean better productivity, better quality jobs and higher tax revenue — all of which in time will serve the Indian economy for decades to come. But the disruption of the informal sector as well as the teething problems regarding GST will inevitably bring about short-term pain to the economy in the form of job losses, fall in demand and contraction of industrial activity. The real danger for India is that the Modi government, with a number of state elections looming and a national election that must be held by early 2019, may decide to slide back into populism. As it is, the ruling party’s political narrative of being untainted by corruption and the nemesis of crony capitalism has made it reluctant to use government funding to resolve the bad loan problem among the banks — one reason this continues to fester and a contributor to the country’s industrial recession.

Hollywood-Bollywood Did Bipasha Basu go under the knife? Actress hides face from paparazzi Agency | Mumbai
Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu is not doing any films but has been in news most of the time. The recent buzz is that the diva has gone under the knife and was hiding her face from paparazzi. She was spotted with husband Karan Singh Grover and was seen hiding her face with her palm and then with her phone. Speculations are rife that the actress has got a nose job and was avoiding cameras, Deccan Chronicle

reported. Some reports even suggested that the diva was not in a mood to be clicked and that is the only reason why she was shying away from the shutterbugs. However, a recent photo of Bipasha by India Today at Mumbai airport proves that she has not gone under the knife. She was spotted inside a car wearing black shades. It didn’t look like the actress underwent any nose job. A few days ago, Bipasha was in news for the actual reason behind her break-up with John Abraham. Though it has been several years since they parted ways and they are happi-
ly married with Karan and Priya Runchal, the reports of their break-up became the talk of the town. “John Abraham was not ready to take their relationship to the next level. Ten years is not a short time. Other couples would have settled down ages ago, but they obviously wanted to focus on their careers and make money. But over the last two years, Bipasha was getting increasingly frustrated with his attitude towards their relationship. He had started taking her for granted and it really hurt her,” Catch News had quoted a portal as saying.
