Women’s entry into core shrine area foiled again
Despite HC order, police stop women Agency | Pune
Despite a Bombay High Court order allowing women access to all places of worship, the Devendra Fadnavis government on Saturday failed to ensure the entry of women activists into the inner sanctum of the controversial Shani Shingnapur temple in Ahmednagar district. At exactly 2.55 pm when Trupti Desai and some of the members of Bhumata Brigade landed inside the temple and marched towards the core shrine area, they were prevented by belligerent villagers from climbing the platform where Shani idol has been installed. Further, Desai along with
26 other supporters have been detained by police to avoid any clash with villagers, said Additional SP Pankaj Deshmukh. “We were pushed back by villagers…it is a murder of Indian constitution…the govt has failed in its duty…we will file FIR against the chief minister,” Desai said even as she and her brigade members sat on a dharna inside the temple. Meanwhile, the police remained mute spectators as the whole drama was being enacted. Over two dozen activists of
Bhumata Ranragini Brigade led by Trupti Desai on Saturday left for Shani Shinganapur temple in Ahmednagar district where tradition bans women from entering the shrine’s sacred platform. Describing the HC verdict as a victory for women’s campaign against gender bias, Desai on Friday announced that she and her followers belonging to the citybased women outfit would head to the ancient temple Saturday itself. Around 25 activists proceeded for the temple Saturday morn-
Pune. On being told that if a temple does not allow any person, irrespective of gender, inside the sanctum sanctorum, then this Act (Maharashtra Hindu Place of Worship (Entry Authorisation) Act 1956) and its provisions will not be of any help, Desai said, “In case of Shani Shinganapur, the temple trust used to allow men at ‘chauthara’ and only after our agitation started, they had put restrictions on males. So we should not be restricted.” Desai also urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis to issue directives to the local administration and police to cooperate with them to go inside the temple peacefully and ing in 2-3 small vehicles. vour, we are determined are sure that police will allow them to worship “After the High Court it- to reach the sacred chau- not restrict us en route,” Lord Shani, whose idol is self ruled in womens’ fa- thara of the temple and we Desai said before leaving placed at the ‘chauthara’.

Kolkata flyover collapse: The builder must pay
A flyover has collapsed killing 25 people and injuring more than 80 people and no one is responsible for this. The builder has callously called it an act of God and a political bun fight is in full flood. The collapse of public structures is nothing new in India. During the monsoon they take place with regularity in Mumbai. But the Kolkata tragedy is a chronicle of a disaster foretold. Engineers had cautioned against the rusting framework of the flyover’s superstructure which has been pending completion for a long time. This has been compounded by the humid conditions in the city. The Kolkata flyover was already in a dilapidated condition even though it had not been completed. There are a host of reasons why public structures tend to either collapse or have a short shelf life. The material used is substandard with builders being notorious for cutting corners. In many building collapses, the foundations have been found to be not well laid and the materials used unable to withstand either the vagaries of the weather or the sheer weight of the construction. And invariably, an element of political brinkmanship enters the picture. In the Kolkata case, political grandstanding has been heightened as the state is poll-bound. Even as rescue workers are battling to save those trapped and who might still be alive, the political blame game is afoot. All this is to detract from the task at hand which is succour to the victims in the form of compensation for the dead and injured. Contracts for constructions like flyovers should contain clauses to ensure that builders stick to a timeline. This way there will be fewer cost overruns and minimal chances of wear and tear on the building materials. This is something the political class can ensure rather than engage in verbal fisticuffs after the event. This sad turn of events provides the right opportunity to review public structures in our metros. Many of them are in poor condition and require retrofitting. Instead of rushing to build even more flyovers and overhead passes and buildings, the existing ones should be made safer. The builder in the Kolkata case cannot get away with lofty pronouncements that it is an act of God. It is not. He will have to make restitution for this tragedy. There has to be a concerted effort to enforce more rigorous checks before a project is sanctioned and also ensure that there are fewer delays in completion as well as regular maintenance inspections. This, rather than political mudslinging, would be a practical way of ensuring that such calamities are minimised in future.

Looks like the much talked about interview brought a lot of good luck for Sunny Leone. Reportedly, ‘Delhi Belly’ fame director Abhinay Deo has signed Sunny Leone opposite none other than Aamir Khan for another dark comedy. Aamir Khan, who supported Sunny openly on Twitter, was the one who suggested her name to Deo. A source close to Deo has revealed that both Sunny and Aamir have given their nods and people are going to see Leone in a never seen before avatar. Since her arrival in Bollywood, Sunny Le-
one has been playing bold roles in sex comedies, but this film will see her in a girl-next door role. Aamir will be seen playing an investigative officer. The draft of the film is ready, but rest of the casting is yet to be finalised. Dwelling more upon Leone’s character, the source added that she is not the lead, but has an important part to play. The lead heroine is still to be cast. Sunny Leone is already on cloud 9 after shooting an item song opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’ recently and this new offer just adds another feather on her cap!

Ki & Ka review: Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor in a bumpy ride Agency | New Delhi
R Balki is a man with ingenious ideas. In Cheeni Kum, he whipped up an unlikely romance between a woman and a man older than her father. In Paa, he told us the story of a 12-year-old boy with a rare genetic disorder that makes him age unnaturally. In Shamitabh, he asked us to consider what constitutes the magic of a movie star. And now, in Ki & Ka, he flips gender roles. He gives us a heroine named Kia (Kareena) who is unapologetically ambitious, and a hero named Kabir (Arjun) whose most cherished ambition is to be like his late mother, who was a homemaker. Kabir is a decidedly radical Bollywood hero – when we first meet him, he’s crying but he’s cool with weeping in public. Here is a man who is
utterly sure of himself and his place in the world. Kia isn’t as inherently interesting, but a positively luminous Kareena gives her
some heft. Sadly, however, one of the enduring problems with Balki’s films persists — his crackling concept runs out of steam.

flat and chasing is easy, as the dew factor comes into play. Two instances during the West Indian chase, however, proved to be turning points. Lendl Simmons, who eventually led his side to victory with an unbeaten 80-plus score, was out on two different occasions. However, due to Ravichandran Ashwin and Hardik Pandya bowling no-balls, he was called back. Dhoni attributed Ashwin’s noball as the turning point in the match. A conversation with my dna colleague Rutvick Mehta over this issue resulted in
this question: why are onfield umpires not checking to see if a bowler oversteps? Why are they only referring to the third umpire to check if a noball has been bowled in case of a wicket? True, there was a no-ball call from the square leg umpire when India was batting, but that was because Rohit Sharma, who was on strike, pulled ball above waist height for six. In his books One Day Wonders and Runs In Ruins, former Indian opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar hailed his teammate Kapil Dev and then Pakistan captain Imran Khan as the most disciplined bowlers he knew because they would try and avoid bowling no balls even while they would bowl in the nets. This, Gavaskar said, would reduce the error of bowling extras on match day.

Alam, who was the manager of the team when Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup, also questioned the team selection, mental alertness of the players and lack
of physical fitness during the tournament. “To cap it all, the tournament was being held in India, where the team was under multiple scanners at the same time, pushing the stress and anxiety levels very high,” Alam said. Soon after arriving in India, Afridi made controversy back home by saying he was more loved in India than in Pakistan. Middle-order batsman Umar Akmal went to Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan requesting him that he wanted to bat at No. 3. Alam said Afridi went out of the way in his news conference and should have “stuck to the detailed briefing” given by the team management. the Pakistan-India match in Kolkata and also gave a pep-talk to the team just before the game at Eden Gardens.

The final match of the
tournament is to be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 29. The BJP leader said more water was needed during hot and windy conditions and less during winter conditions. Thus, more than 70 lakh litres of water will be required to maintain the grounds for the 19 matches. The BJP leader further stated the state, from where the BCCI President hails from, is facing one of its worst droughts in the last one century. “Rainfall in last two years in Marathwada and Vidharbha region was the lowest. Successive low rainfall has resulted in falling ground water levels, which has impacted 90 lakh farmers in the state,” he said.

The panel of lawmakers last month called for reducing the size of warnings to 50 per cent to protect the interests of the industry and tobacco farmers.
