After five nations pulled out of the 19th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Summit that was scheduled to take place in Islamabad in November, Pakistan on Friday announced that it was postponing the summit and fresh dates would be issued soon.

Supreme Court gives last chance to Karnataka to release Cauvery water (H.S.) | New Delhi
The Supreme Court on Friday gave Karnataka a last chance to release 6000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu between October 1, 2016 and October 6, 2016 before the “wrath of law falls on the State”. The apex court simultaneous asked the Centre to set up the Cauvery Water Management Board by October 4 so that the Board can visit the Cauvery sites to check the ground realities. The apex court called for a report on October 6, the next date of hearing. The court slammed Karnataka for “flouting its orders and creating a situation by which the majesty of law is dented”. Invoking its limitless powers under Article 144 of the Indian Constitu-
tion to enforce its orders, a Bench of Justices Dipak Misra and U.U. Lalit warned Karnataka in its order that it was “bound to obey the orders of the Supreme Court”. “On a plain perusal of Article 144, it is clear as crystal that all authorities in the territory of India are bound to obey the orders of the Supreme Court and render assistance and aid for the implementation of the orders of this court,” the Supreme Court noted in the order. The hearing
comes a day after talks hosted by the Union Water Ministry between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to find a common ground and resolve the Cauvery water dispute failed. The hearing saw Karnataka counsel and senior advocate Fali Nariman refusing to espouse the cause of his own client. Mr. Nariman said he was also an officer of the court and did not want to press further Karnataka’s case in defiance of the repeated orders of the Supreme Court to re-

He read out a letter to him by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramiah on September 29, saying that Karnataka stands by its September 23 resolution to not share Cauvery water as it was the “will of its people”. Mr. Nariman also read out his reply to Mr. Siddaramiah, saying that in that case he would confine to reading out the letter of the Chief Minister and not argue the matter further in court. Tamil Nadu counsel and senior advocate Shekhar Naphade bluntly told the court that there was “no point arguing the case before this court”.

der terror attacks, saying “the current regional environment is not conducive to the successful holding of the summit.” India has upped the ante in recent days to internationally isolate Pakistan post the Uri terror attack, which claimed that lives of 20 army jawans. External Affairs Sushma Swaraj, speaking at the United Nations General Assembly last week, called upon the international community to isolate those who scut-
tle the global strategy in the fight against terrorism. Pakistan’s Foreign Office late on Wednesday conceded the postponement of the summit, but ruled out shifting the venue or to give up hosting the summit in the near future. Adviser to the Pakistan Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz said in Islamabad that the Saarc secretariat has not yet informed them officially about the postponement of the conference. He
however said that chances were that the Saarc conference would be postponed. He added that whenever the conference took place, it would be held in Pakistan. Meanwhile in New Delhi, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup also said a formal announcement to this effect would be made by Nepal. The rule is that if any one head of State or Government decides not to participate in the Saarc Summit

A month into the job, the new central bank governor will on Monday and Tuesday chair his maiden policy review, which for the first time will see a committee set interest rates, though views are divided on whether there will be any change this time round. If the six-member monetary policy committee (MPC) is split over whether to hold or cut, Reserve Bank of India Governor Urjit Patel could end up exercising his casting vote. Regardless of the outcome, market players will closely scrutinise how the newly-formed MPC votes, trying to spot the
two expect an aggressive 50 bps cut. Leaving rates on hold would make it almost certain that the RBI would cut in December, analysts say. Some analysts urged the RBI to act now as inflation has fallen back within the RBI’s 2-6 percent target range. “We expect a 25 basis point rate cut at the October policy largely because inflation is at 5 percent and is expected to remain around 5 percent for most part of the rest of the fiscal year,” said Anjali Verma, chief economist at PhillipCapital. “Also, growth is largely tepid and therefore a rate cut is warranted now.”

What has India achieved by this surgical strike?
India — under Prime Minister Narendra Modi — crossed the line of control in more ways than one on September 29, 2016. Posterity will be a better and truer judge, but Thursday’s surgical strike by our Special Forces is a game-changer both in terms of how we view ourselves and how the world sees India. So, what has India achieved by this surgical strike? First, as a nation we have regained our self-respect and self-esteem. Whether it was the attack on the Indian parliament, 26/11, the Mumbai train explosions, Pathankot or Uri, each time we were gripped by a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. We would wring our hands, make preparations for war, amass troops on the border, raise the issue at international fora, summon Pakistan’s High Commissioner in Delhi, talk of breaking diplomatic relations… talk, talk and more talk. That’s all we always did. This made us look weak, cowardly and helpless in our own eyes. The surgical strikes have rid us of that strange, almost embarrassed feeling of being emasculated as a nation. Second, the same message has been sent to the world. There was a predictable monotony to India’s reaction these past 20 years — ever since India and Pakistan went public with their nuclear prowess. World leaders did help us hide our embarrassment by constantly advising us to practise restrain. But somewhere, there must be building a feeling of contempt towards us: That India is a soft (a softer world for cowardly) state that does not have the courage to avenge its dead. How can we expect others to give us respect and take us seriously if our response to a hostile and aggressive neighbour is seen as timid and meek? Not once or twice but always. One cannot always be mature, pragmatic and practical. And yes, our economic might and potential has got us a seat at the high table — but if we want to stay there and become a global power one day, we have to be seen as a country which is able to defend itself militarily. Forget becoming a super power, this is the least one would expect from a self-respecting sovereign state. Third, finally we have crossed the Rubicon vis-a-vis Pakistan and have called their nuclear bluff. It was sick the manner in which the Pakistani establishment used to threaten us day in and out with nuclear reprisal if we ever tried to answer them in their language. Islamabad and its band of non-state actors had figured us out very well and every action and reaction of India was taken under the shadow of this nuclear blackmail by Pakistan.By crossing the Line of Control, India has shown it is prepared to walk the tough talk. From here on it can never be business as usual and Islamabad will have to rethink its policies. Because in one strike Delhi has junked its 20-year policy of passive, diplomatic aggression. Till now Pakistan-based terrorists and their handlers could be sure of India’s response to any terror attack: There will be lot of hue and cry, upping of the ante, war talk and threats of punitive, fitting response, opinion mobilisation across the world et al, nothing will actually happen on the ground. The surgical strikes have blown to bits this policy. Now Rawalpindi knows there will be a price to pay for its actions. So, it will be forced to rethink its strategy because Delhi’s past passive approach is now off the table.

QUOTE ”They are artistes not terrorists. It’s the government who OF THE gives them permits and visas.” - Bollywood superstar Salman Khan seems to be backing Pakistani actors who have been facing severe criticism and a possible ban after DAY the Uri attack on an army camp in Jammu and Kashmir leading to the death of 19 security forces... Mehra searches for today’s Mirza-Sahiban MS Dhoni The Untold Story movie review: through his adaptation of Punjab’s love story Film gets stumped when MSD is getting started (H.S.) | Chandigarh
(H.S.) | New Delhi
EVER since he saw a theatrical presentation of the legendary love story of Punjab, Mirza-Sahiban, at a cultural festival in Delhi 35 years ago, filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has been haunted by one question – why did Sahiban break Mirza’s arrows? Sahiban’s sudden move in the story, which was penned by 17th century poet Peelu, has intrigued generations, including Mehra. The filmmaker said the seed of his story was germinated that very day 35 years ago and he got the chance to ‘water’ it now. Mehra was in Panchkula on Thursday to promote his upcoming film, Mirzya, along with lead actors Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher, both of whom are making their debut with the movie. The film re-
To create a true, full-blooded biopic, filmmakers need a free-hand: MS Dhoni The Untold Story, which claims to give us Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Uncut, is much more generous with details from his childhood and his days of struggle than from his blazing tenure as star wicketkeeper-batsman-captain of the Indian cricket team. The result, with the exception of a few interesting bits and pieces, is bland and predictable. The overlong film cherry-picks the details it wants to serve us, skirting all grey areas and controversies: there are no smart nosedigs, only ingratiating bouquets; only hurrahs (the critique is so muted that we can barely hear it), and loud background music which is used to drum up emotion and drama. It begins with
leases on October 7. Set in two different eras, in a screenplay that runs back and forth in time, with “music that binds it like a spine”, Mehra’s Mirzya is not a reincarnation. According to him it is a modern day adaptation of the love story, a search for today’s Mirza-Sahiban. As he takes the centerstage along with Kher and Kapoor at a hotel, Mehra shared how he began work on Mirzya before Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, researched extensively into history,
philosophy, psychology of love, and above all, made the call to Gulzar to write the story for him. “I called him (Gulzar) up to ask why Sahiban breaks the arrows, and he said, let’s find her and ask her,” Mehra said. For Mehra, working with Gulzar who is writing for a film after 17 years, was being reborn as a director. On the other hand, picking a story from Punjab was natural, for the land is an ‘umbilical chord’ for Mehra. “Everyone knows about Mirza-Sahiban here.
After surgical strikes, film body bans Pakistani actors ‘forever’
(H.S.) | Mumbai As India revealed that it had launched surgical strikes across the Line of Control, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association on Friday passed a resolution to ban Pakistani actors from the industry in the wake of the Uri attack. “IMPPA in their 87th annual general meeting passed (a resolution that) no Pakistani
will be hired by their producer members forever,” producer TP Aggarwal, the president of IMPPA, said. The resolution came on a day the Indian Army announced that seven terror launch pads were targeted across the LoC by special forces during a ‘surgical strike’ overnight in which heliborne and ground forces were used. Producer Ashoke Pandit, a member of the IMP-
PA, said, “IMPPA paid homage to the martyrs who were killed in Uri. It therefore felt its responsibility towards the nation and passed a resolution banning Pakistani Actors & technicians in India till normalcy returns. For IMPPA, nation comes first.” Eighteen Army personnel were killed in the Uri attack. The decision came amid demands by various political outfits to ban Pakistani artistes from Indian films and performing here. Last week, Raj Thackeray-led MNS issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Pakistani artistes and actors including Fawad Khan and Ali Zafar, to leave India by September 25 or else they would be “pushed out”.

Actor-producer John Abraham says he loves action as a genre but doesn’t want to do a destructive role. “I am trying to do something different after Force 2. However, I love doing action movies. It is like second nature to me, but I don’t want to do a destructive role. I like comedy as well, especially slapstick comedy,” John said at the trailer launch of his forthcoming film Force 2 on Thursday.

The entire ‘bachpan’-adolescence section, featuring the father (Anupam Kher) who thinks a job will take his son much further than sports, the mother who believes in her son, the sister (Bhumika Chawla) who is a solid support to him, his bunch of loyal friends who just know he can do it, has been crafted with heart and feels authentic. We see Mahi (Sushant Singh Rajput)

at major runway shows. By now we all know how Kareena Kapoor Khan is a pro at maternity dressing and this time too the actress did not disappoint us. The mom-to-be opted for comfort without compromising on style in a one-shouldered Deme kaftan which she paired with a geometric clutch and lace-up sandals. With hair worn part up, she accessorised her look with a Bvlgari serpenti watch and an emerald necklace. At the party, sister Karis-
ma Kapoor was spotted in a lace Self-Portrait jumpsuit which she paired with Louboutin pumps and a box clutch. The jumpsuit was a beauty in itself and Karisma did full justice to it by keeping the rest of the look simple. We think tied up hair and a bright red lipshade was the right choice. She looked lovely. Athiya Shetty kept things really simple in an all-black look. The actress picked up a mesh Self-Portrait dress and beautiful, sleek footwear for the event. With hair in natural waves, she chose tones of pink for her lips and cheeks and we are glad she did. The au naturale look actually worked here. Having said that, we wish she would have chosen a different clutch to accessorise. A pop of colour would have helped.
Army camp in Uri by Pakistani terrorists, there have been calls from all over India for a ban on Pakistani artistes working here. Mumbai-based Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) on Friday had even passed a resolution to ban Pakistani actors

The “Rocky Handsome” actor, who is seen doing daring stunts in the trailer, spoke about the difficulties he faced while filming the action sequences. “I damaged my knee while doing a rooftop shot. After that in
Hungary, I had to do two knee surgeries. Whenever I had to sit in a car, someone had to hold and put my leg in the car. I couldn’t even move it. When I came to Mumbai, I did one more surgery,” the 43-year-old said. “But at the end of the day, the outcome was good. Doing action is really difficult, but it is fun for me,” he added.

An embattled BCCI on Friday missed the first deadline to implement Lodha Committee recommendations on sweeping administrative reforms after it had to adjourn its Special General Meeting on technical grounds. Faced with the possibility of losing its entire top brass, including President Anurag Thakur, the BCCI was to discuss the road ahead at the SGM after the Supreme Court warned the cricket board on Wednesday to either “fall in line” or face the music. The Board had been given until Friday to implement the first set of reforms, requiring the adoption of a new Memorandum of Association and Rules. However, the meeting to discuss the matter had to be put off until Saturday after some of the BCCI’s member units turned up without the requisite letters of authorisation. “They have been told to get proper letter of authorisation from their respective units,” a source present in the meeting said.

BCCI, which has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court challenging Lodha panel’s recommendations, is not left with many options. The Board drew the apex court’s ire after Lodha committee submitted its status report before the Supreme Court listing violations committed by the BCCI vis-a-vis the panel’s recommendations at its Annual General Meeting. The BCCI has time till October 6 to respond to the status report. The present BCCI officials have openly voiced their objections to the suggested reforms especially the three-year cooling off period and the policy of one state one vote. Earlier, in complete defiance of specific instructions issued by the Lodha panel, the Board, at its AGM, ap-
pointed the working committee, standing committees, selection panels and Ajay Shirke as secretary. The Lodha panel had specifically told the Board to carry out only routine business at the AGM and “that any business or matters relating to the next year (2016-2017) be dealt with only after the adoption of the MoA and Rules as per the recommendations of the Committee in accordance with the same.” Stating the violations by BCCI, the Lodha committee sought directions from the apex court to supersede the present BCCI office-Bearers with immediate effect and appoint in their place a Panel of Administrators to ensure the smooth transition from the old to the new system recommended by the committee.
England job. The Football Association is looking for a new England manager after the shock end to Sam Allardyce’s 67-day stint following a newspaper investigation. Wenger, whose contract with Arsenal runs out at the end of the season, said his managerial style has evolved through the years in his “love affair” with Arsenal. “I have a passion for the game but I have the desire to be better tomorrow and yesterday,”
Arsenal’s longest serving manager said. “The way I manage today is not the same today as five years ago. How long can I do, I don’t know,” he said, “I rule nothing out because I want to work and do well. I accept as well that it can finish tomorrow. You expect a love story to last forever.” Wenger also thanked the club for backing him in crisis. “My resilience and passion has helped the most, but also the board to stick by me and I believe this club is brave… That’s the quality that came out at good and bad moments and fought together,” he added. Arsenal have picked up the pace after a slow start to the campaign and are on an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions, including six victories.
Materazzi keeps telling players how good they are: Chennaiyin assistant coach (H.S.) | Kolkata
Agency | Tokyo One of the biggest dinosaur footprints ever recorded has been unearthed in the Gobi Desert, researchers said today, offering a fresh clue about the giant creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago. A joint Mongolian-Japanese expedition found the giant print, which measures 106 centimetres long and 77 centimetres wide. One of several footprints discovered in the vast Mongolian desert, the huge fossil was discovered last month in a geologic layer formed between 70 million and 90 million years ago, researchers said. It was naturally cast, as sand flowed into dents that had been left by the creature stomping on the once muddy ground. The footprint is believed to have belonged to Titanosaur, a long-necked dinosaur, and could have been more than 30 metres long and 20 metres tall, according to researchers.

From bowling mainstay to national coach now, it has been a roller-coaster ride for Anil Kumble in Indian cricket and the celebrated leg-spinner picked the 2002 win over England in the Headgingley Test as the “defining moment” of his career. Kumble said he rates that win as the defining moment in his career as he went on to lead the team which became number one under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. “It’s difficult to pick the best moment but yes the Headingley Test was a defining moment for me and the Indian cricket. It continued from that,” the former India captain recalled about India’s innings and 46-run victory during a talk show hosted by the Cricket Association of Bengal on the sidelines of India’s 250th Test on home soil. “I got the captaincy towards the end of my career, probably by
default when Ganguly had finished his term, Viru was not in the team, Rahul did not want it and probably MS was too young. I was the only person to put my hands up. I knew it would be a short term.” He had missed the epic 2001 Kolkata Test against Australia where India scripted a 171-run victory following-on but he felt that the triumph changed mindsets. “Our generation became a lot more resilient after going through different challenges. The Kolkata Test changed our mindset, and the Headingley Test probably when we thought we
could win abroad. Perth Test victory was remarkable and then we never looked back.” Showering praise on Virender Sehwag, Kumble also said the Delhi batsman had changed the face of Indian batting with his aggression at the top. “For more than 10 years, the middle order was set, Viru came in and destroyed the bowling attack. It was a champion batting line up with Viru the icing on the cake.” Sitting besides Sehwag, Kumble in a lighter vein also blamed the former opener for robbing him off a second Test century.

It is no secret that the union home minister’s choice of words were an indirect reference to the successful covert operation undertaken by the Army yesterday night. Until now we have seen the country’s No.2 talk tough on various issues, but India would love to see more of Singh’s “pun” side.

Indian players, Pasha, whose goal in the final of the 1995 SAF Games in Chennai gave India the gold, said the ISL can be a massive learning experience for Indian coaches. “You get to work with not only great coaches but also some very experienced foreign players. As an aspiring coach, you
can try and learn as much as you can while doing the courses but there is no replacement for the experience you get on the job. And learning from someone like Materazzi is not something everyone is lucky enough to get,” said the former Indian Bank and Tamil Nadu striker from Chennai.

advising them to make lifestyle changes, like giving up smoking, giving up excessive use of alcohol, and losing weight, we felt that patients change their lifestyle out of fear of the disease, whereas practice of Universal Healing Program empowers them to change their lifestyle without a sense of deprivation and reduces the fear of disease” Dr. Ramesh l. Kapadia Founder of the UHP “Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a global phenomenon. In India, increasingly more people in the prime of life are victims of this disease.

The way of living and the way of feeling appear to be quite important factors in its increasing incidence. Hostility, lack of social support, job and family stress are major causes of heart attack amongst the young. By far UHP Centre has healed many people across the country”
(H.S.) | New Delhi The Centre on Friday issued a country-wide alert asking the states to heighten vigil to foil any attempt by Pakistan-based terror groups to carry out attacks amid apprehensions of backlash by terrorists after the surgical strike on their launch pads in PoK. In an advisory, the Home Ministry conveyed to the states that additional forces should be deployed in all sensitive places, strategic installations, markets, religious places and other key places to ensure security, an official source said. Metro cities were particularly asked to be extra vigilant. States touching the border with Pakistan
— Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat — were also directed to remain vigilant, sources said. The advisory has been sent in the wake of Wednesday night’s surgical strike by Indian army in terror launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). Sources said there is high probability that Pakistani agencies may try to use the terror groups to carry out strike in Indian soil to avenge yesterday’s attack. India carried out ‘surgical strikes’ on terror launch pads across LoC on the intervening night of September 28 and 29, inflicting “significant casualties” on terrorists and those who are trying to support them.
between India and Pakistan was an area of sensitivity. The Indian Coast Guard Regional Headquarters (North West), at Gandhinagar has launched special operation in coordination with the stakeholders, including Marine Police and the State Administration. Considering the incidents of recent past wherein the Indian forces conducted surgical strike on terrorist elements by attacking their training camps across in PoK area, the
overall security for the shore establishments and fishermen have been duly enhanced, he said. It is advised that the fishing community in particular and all the stakeholders at large must maintain enhanced vigil and report any abnormal activity either at sea or in areas close to the coast, to the Indian Coast Guard promptly. For safety purpose, use of Channel-16 (for communication through VHF sets) by fishermen is also duly emphasized, he said.
Monpara in his bail plea alleged that the person on whose complaint police lodged the FIR “is in fact guilty of killing the cow and there is a presumption against it… the profession of removing carcass and/or dead skin is a disguise under
which these illegal activities are being undertaken.” Claiming innocence Monpara argued that the complainant in the case — Vashram Sarvaiya — was guilty of cow slaughter, a crime which not been investigated by the CID (crime). On July 11, Vashram and three other Dalit youths were beaten up by a group of 40 “gau rakshaks” and others for skinning a dead cow. The Dalits were paraded in Una town and the incident was filmed by the accused who later circulated the video on the social media.

with cancellation of Atif Aslam concert in Gurgaon
The Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Kranti Dal, a “non-political organisation” that aims to “combat evils in society”, on Wednesday, added the cancellation of Pakistani singer Atif Aslam’s concert to its list of “achievements”. The concert was to be held in Gurgaon’s Leisure Valley Park on October 15. Hours after members of the Dal held a meeting with Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner TL Satyaprakash, the district
administration sent out a message requesting the organisers of the event to “defer” the concert, “considering the sentiments of armed forces/ soldiers at the frontier”. The organiser of the event, however, claimed the concert had been cancelled last week in view of the tense relations between India and Pakistan in the wake of the Uri attack. The Akhil Bhartiya Hindu Kranti Dal, which says it has over 32,000 workers across 14 states, including Haryana, Odisha, Bihar, Uttarakhand, and Gujarat, prides itself on advocating the cause of the “Hindu nation” by taking up such issues.
Patel said, “Following the surgical strikes, high alert has been sounded across Gujarat, specially in the three districts — Banaskantha, Patan and Kutch — that share border with Pakistan. Coastal police stations have also been alerted to increase the vigil.” “No evacuation (of villages along the Pakistan border) has been ordered as of now,”
said defence spokesperson Wing Commander Abhishek Matiman. Deputy CM Patel said the Home Ministry had instructed all border states to evacuate villages within 10 km of international border. However, we do not have any village within that range. All Gujarat villages are beyond 25 km range of the border,” Patel added. He said that the additional chief secretary (home) was in constant touch with various central security agencies to preempt any untoward incident. Chief Minister Vijay Rupani hailed India’s surgical attack across the LoC as a “consolation” to the martyred soldiers.
