Short News More bodies found as water recedes in Kerala, outbreak of diseases feared Thiruvananthapuram: Floodwaters receded in Kerala on Monday, leaving rescuers the grim task of retrieving bodies as the death toll from the worst monsoon rains in a century rose above 400. With nearly threequarters of a million people packed into relief camps in the southern state, known for its tourist beaches and hill resorts, authorities also fear outbreaks of disease.After more than a week of fierce downpours, rainfall eased on Monday and flood levels fell in some districts. Army helicopters and boats kept up missions to find trapped survivors and drop food and water in isolated villages. Officials said 22,000 people were rescued on Sunday. At least 30 bodies were also found taking the death toll above 200 since the torrential rain started falling on August 8 and more than 400 since the monsoon started in June.
Linking of rivers cuts flood risk, says Nitin Gadkari Hyderabad: The Telangana state government on Monday opposed the Centre’s ambitious programme of inter-linking Godavari and Cauvery rivers. The Centre held a high-level meeting in Delhi, chaired by the Union water resources minister Mr. Nitin Gadkari, to take the Godavari-Cauvery inter-linking proposal forward. TS irrigation minister T. Harish Rao, his counterparts from AP, Karnataka and Uttarakhand, Devineni Uma Maheshwar Rao, D.K. Shiv Kumar and Satpal Maharaj, respectively, were invited for the meet. However, Mr Harish Rao demanded that the Centre allocate the justified water share in the Godavari to TS first before proceeding with the interlinking proposal. Mr Rao also strongly opposed the preparation of a detailed project report for interlinking the rivers without holding consultations with the states to achieve consensus and without giving hydrology clearance for Telagnana irrigation projects. Mr Rao said TS needed 954 tmcft in the Godavari to meet its present and future requirements and the Telangana government would support the inter-linking only if surplus water was available after this quota had been allotted.

Pakistan Seeks India Talks
New Delhi : Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said he will seek talks with India and Afghanistan as part of a regional peace initiative and claimed that foreign policy would be determined by the civilian government, setting up a potential clash with the powerful military. Qureshi, of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf that formed government this month, called for an “uninterrupted dialogue” with India and said he would visit the Afghan capital Kabul to bridge trust in a tense bilateral relationship. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had sent a letter to Khan that also stated a desire to restart talks between the two nuclear-armed rivals. A government official in New Delhi said PM Modi had sent a general congratulatory letter and declined to comment further. Pakistan and India “have no other option but to engage,” Qureshi told reporters in Islamabad on Monday.
No talks offer to Pakistan, says India
New Delhi: In his second outreach to Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Imran Khan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written to his newlyelected counterpart to express “India’s commitment to build good neighbourly relations” and “pursue meaningful and constructive engagement”. Mr Modi also re-emphasised the need to work for a terror-free South Asia. Mr Modi’s letter sparked a controversy after some media reports pointed to a claim by Pakistan that the Indian Prime Minister had “made an offer of a dialogue”, a claim denied by the Pakistani foreign office in Islamabad. In his letter written to Mr Khan on August 18, the day he was sworn in as Pakistan’s 22nd Prime Minister, PM Modi recalled his telephonic call made to Mr Khan three weeks ago
— after the former cricketer’s electoral victory — during which the two leaders “spoke of their shared vision to bring peace, security and prosperity in the Indian subcontinent, in order to make it free of terror and violence, and to focus on development”. Ties between India and Pakistan nosedived following a spate of terror attacks on Indian military bases by Pakistan-based terror groups since January 2016. Following the strikes, India announced it will not engage in talks with Pakistan, saying terror and talks cannot go hand-in-hand. Sources in New Delhi said that Mr Modi, in his letter, expressed the belief that the smooth transition of Government in Pakistan would strengthen and cement people’s faith in democracy.
Will give strong reply when needed: Sidhu on row over Pak Army chief hug Chandigarh: After drawing flak from Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and the opposition for embracing the Pakistan Army chief, cricketerturned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu said on Monday that he was prepared to give a strong reply to all when needed. “Whenever the reply has to be given, I will give and I will give it to all... It will be a strong reply,” Navjot Singh Sidhu, the only Indian to attend Imran Khan’s swearing-in ceremony as Pakistan’s prime minister, said in Chandigarh. His comments come after Amarinder had on Sunday ticked off his cabinet colleague for hugging Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. “I think it was wrong for him (Sidhu) to have shown the affection he did for the Pakistan Army chief, I am
not in its favour... The fact is that the man (Sidhu) should understand that our soldiers are being killed everyday. My own regiment lost one major and two jawans a few months ago,” Amarinder Singh had said. On his return from Pakistan on Sunday, Sidhu had defended his action, asking what was he supposed to do when someone tells him that “we belong to the same culture” and talks of
opening the route to the historic Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib. Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA and ousted Leader of Opposition Sukhpal Singh Khaira on Monday defended Sidhu, saying the minister had done nothing wrong. “@ sherryontopp has done nothing wrong by hugging Pak army chief, its d way Pbi’s meet! I demand opening of corridor to Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib.
PresidentapprovestheSC/STamendment law, if they are harassed, arrests New Delhi : On the torture of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC ST), the case will be registered immediately and arrest will be done. There is no need to take permission before preliminary investigation and arrest before lodging the case. The President has approved the SC ST Amendment Act 2018 which has failed the Supreme Court’s decision. After getting President’s approval, SC ST Law is equipped with strict provisions like in the
past. In the judgment given on March 20, the Supreme Court had issued guidelines while expressing concern over misuse of SC ST law. The Supreme Court had said that the SC ST will not register the case immediately after getting the complaint in the Prevention of Atrocities Act. The DSP will first investigate the complaint and find out whether the case is false or not motivated by malice. Apart from this, the accused will not be arrested immediately after the FIR is lodged
in this law. Before the arrest of a government servant, approval of SSP will be taken before the arrest of the competent authority and the general person. Not only this, the court also opened the way for the anticipatory bail of the accused. After the Supreme Court’s decision, there was a nationwide protest. After which the government had introduced the SCST amendment bill to bring the legislation back to the Constitution and after the bill was passed from both the Houses.
New Delhi : Vinesh Phogat on Monday created history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to win a gold medal at the Asian Games, brushing aside her rivals with rather ease in the 50kg freestyle category. She was a medal-favourite in her category and was likely to face stiff competition from Japan’s Yuki Irie whom she outplayed 6-2 in the final. The gold medal is a groundbreaking achievement for the 23-year-old from Haryana, who is connected to Dangalfamed Phogat family. Phogat’s run to the final had been a confident and dominating one. In the semifinal
round, Phogat defeated Uzbekistan’s Ya k h s h i m u r a t o v a Dauletbike 10-0 in just 75 seconds, rolling off her opponent thrice in a leg-lock. The Indian wrestler started her quarterfinals match against Kim Hyung-joo of Korea by taking six points. Phogat ended

Why Yogi Adityanath should not be prosecuted for ‘hate speech’: SC notice to UP govt New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh government seeking its response as to why Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, should not be prosecuted for his alleged hate speech made at Gorakhpur in 2007. A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud issued notice returnable in four weeks on a special leave petition against Allahabad High Court order rejecting the plea for action for hate speech. The high court had upheld a decision by the Uttar Pradesh government to deny sanction to prosecute Yogi Adityanath in the case. The apex court has now sought a response to the notice within four weeks. In 2008, Asad Hyat and Pervez had filed a petition in Allahabad High Court seeking an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). It was alleged that the riots in Gorakhpur in 2007 were triggered by the speech of Yogi Adityanath. Adityanath, who then represented Gorakhpur in Lok Sabha, was arrested and also remanded to police custody for 11 days. The petition had sought an
investigation against Adityanath under sections 302, 307, 153A, 395 and 295 of the Indian Penal Code. The case was then transferred to the CB-CID, which found in the course of an investigation that the BJP leader’s voice in an audio recording was authentic. The high court, however, said it did not find any procedural irregularity in the order of refusal to grant sanction to prosecute the accused in the case. The petitioners in their appeal said, “We have videotapes of CM’s speeches and sufficient material for initiation of action against the CM for allegedly instigating the riots by his hate speech” and prayed for setting aside the high court order and a direction to the UP government to initiate action against the chief minister.

The Indian aviation sector’s many problems
The Indian aviation sector is a conundrum. Its brief summer, starting with the civil aviation policy in 2003 and lasting until the financial crisis, has the patina of another era. The periodic rough weather since speaks of fundamental problems that have persisted since the postcrisis bloodbath. Jet Airways’ current troubles are no outlier in this respect. The kicker is that the aviation market has seen a long spell of unprecedented growth. How can the two go together? According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, India’s air passenger traffic has grown by at least 16% annually over the past decade. In 2000-01, it stood at a paltry 14 million passengers. In 2017, Indian airlines flew nearly 140 million passengers, most of them domestic. It is now the third largest aviation market in the world with growth rates that leave the US and China in the dust. There is no slowdown in sight. Airbus forecasts that domestic traffic will grow five and a half times over the next two decades. Yet, that growth has been largely profitless. 2016 was the first year in a decade that Indian airlines collectively came into the black. That didn’t last long. The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation predicts consolidated industry losses of between $430-460 million in FY19. Jet Airways has never truly looked healthy after its troubles during the dog days at the end of the last decade. SpiceJet nearly went under in 2013 before government intervention and erstwhile promoter Ajay Singh stepping in again rescued it. Profits at market leader IndiGo are down 97% year-on-year for the quarter ended in June, its worst ever quarterly performance. Air India, of course, is a perennial sink for taxpayer money. Granted, the airline business is a risky one around the world with high capex and low profit margins. But India is a special case even so. There are a few reasons for this that have been common to the various crises Indian airlines have gone through. Some of them are linked to international factors. First, the rupee’s depreciation is hitting carriers hard as it did a few years ago. About 25-30% of their costs, excluding fuel, are dollar denominated— from aircraft lease rents and maintenance costs to ground handling and parking charges abroad. Second, and crucially, aviation turbine fuel (ATF) costs remain as big a pain in Indian carriers’ necks now as they were when the financial crisis hit. The Centre charges 14% excise duty on ATF. The states pile on their own sales tax that can go as high as 29%. The 2014-16 oil price plunge briefly masked the full effects of this.

India vs England: Jonny Bairstow fractures left middle finger
SPORTS ROUNDUP
Asian Games 2018: India’s two-fold path to salvation
Nottingham: England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow has been sent for an X-ray after suffering a painful blow on his left hand during the first session of the third day at Trent Bridge. Bairstow, 28, got one right on the end of the middle finger on the left hand while collecting a delivery by James Anderson before heading off for the dressing room. He was subsequently replaced by fellow gloveman Jos Buttler. While England have another option in young Ollie Pope they will be concerned about Bairstow’s ability to bat. Earlier, England were bowled out for 161 on day two of the third Test giving India a significant lead of 168. In their second innings, India capitalized on the situation and fifties
by Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara took the lead past 350 runs. Stand inwicketkeeper Jos Buttler was critical of his team’s shoddy batting display and said, “Very disappointing, but we’ll dust ourselves down and come back hard. It’s important we can recognise why it’s happened and improve. When we’ve got that momentum, when we’ve been bowling, it felt like we were going to take a wicket every ball.” “It comes down to how can you wrestle back the initiative – maybe with a counterattacking style or someone trying to sit in and be a bit of a limpet for an hour and ride that session out. But obviously, we weren’t good enough to do that today,” he added.
Mumbai: Lakshay Sheoran was encouraged by father Somvir, a dangal wrestler, to pick up a gun and was often paraded in front of relatives to show off how he could smash soft drink cans aiming at them from a distance. “Pehle woh hi kehte the — yaha maar, waha maar. Phir jab main sabke liye pareshaani ban gaya, toh bole isse achha isko game mein hi daal do,” the teenaged silver medallist in Trap recalls. Around the time Lakshay was still running around with toy guns in Jind, Haryana, Deepak Kumar of Jagatpur on the outskirts of Delhi, had graduated from a Gurukul system of learning in Poundha, Uttarakhand — completing a BA in Sanskrit — to become the first recruit in air rifle for the Indian Air Force
under the 2008 sports quota. On Monday, the 30-year-old would shoot a fearless Final of the 10m air rifle at Palembang. He’d follow a 10.9 with a 10.8 in the next series with such nonchalance that a wave of rollicking rustic revolution seemed to be sweeping over Indian shooting which rained silver. Starting as No. 5 in the eight-man final, Deepak would slip to 7th and then clamber up to 2nd with a calm simplicity, drawing from his years of practising meditation and yoga at the traditional schooling facility. When the turning point of the 10.9 arrived, he would say: “Haan, bas 10.9 aa gaya, koi dikkat nai. Accept karo, enjoy karo, and tell yourself I can shoot more like that, so I must try,” he’d say.
India vs England: Virat Kohli hits 23rd Test ton as visitors set daunting target for England
Nottingham: Skipper Virat Kohli scored his 23rd Test century as a dominant India took giant strides towards victory in the third cricket Test against England, on Monday. Courtesy Kohli’s 103, his second ton of the series, India declared their second innings at 352 for seven, leaving the hosts an improbable victory target of 521 runs. Kohli’s runs came off 197 balls and was studded with 10 boundaries. He shared 113 runs for the third wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara (72), who also returned to form after a dismal outing in the second Test. Hardik Pandya also made an useful contribution after his maiden fivewicket haul, smashing a run-a-ball 52 with the help of seven boundaries and
hit over the fence. Kohli seemed in no mood to drag the innings any further and decided to declare the innings, handing his bowlers nine overs to go full throttle. But Alastair Cook (9 not out) and Keaton Jennings (13 not out) played cautiously to fend off the nine overs with England still needing another 498 runs for win with two full days play remaining. Earlier coming onto bat after tea, Kohli got a life on 93 when Jennings missed a catch at gully off James Anderson (1/55) in the 91st over. Soon after, the Indian skipper celebrated his hundred off 191 balls. But Kohli failed to capitalise on the chance as he was trapped lbw by Chris Woakes (1/49) soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Mohamed Salah on UEFA best player award shortlist Nyon : The UEFA award for the best Europe-based player last season won’t be won by a World Cup champion from France. Instead, three-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo was joined Monday by former Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modric and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah on a shortlist selected by Champions League coaches and invited journalists across Europe. Three France players were in the top 10: Antoine Griezmann of Atletico Madrid was fourth, Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain was sixth and
Raphael Varane of Real Madrid was eighth. The award typically rewards Champions League performances with all three on the shortlist having played in the final in May but voters can take the World Cup into account. Coaches could not vote for players on their own team. “Players are judged on their performances in all competitions domestic, continental and international,” UEFA said in a statement. The winner will be announced on August 30 in Monaco at the draw for the group stage of the Champions League. At
Business
the World Cup in Russia, Griezmann won the Bronze Ball as the third-best player at the tournament, selected by a FIFA expert panel, plus the Silver Boot for second place in the scoring table. Mbappe was named best young player in Russia. Modric won the Golden Ball for captaining Croatia to the final, where his team lost to France. Ronaldo, now with Juventus, has won the UEFA award each time Madrid has been European champion since the vote was introduced in 2011.
