Reconsider ban on diesel cabs Agency | New Delhi
Stating that the ban on diesel taxis in the NCR will lead to “loss of jobs of thousands” and “serious commuting problems”, Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Monday said his ministry will request the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision which has given rise to an “unprecedented situation”. Gadkari told reporters that the central government has taken several initiatives to mitigate air pollution and these will be placed before the Supreme Court to support the request for reconsideration of the ban on diesel taxis in Delhi and NCR. A study
by IIT Kanpur, he said, has also suggested that vehicular pollution is not the only cause of pollution in Delhi. “In fact, the study shows that vehicular pollution contributes 9 per cent in summer and 19 per cent in winter,” he said. “Many initiatives taken in the last two years need to be properly presented to the Supreme Court in letter and spirit. The government is con-
sidering all necessary steps to reduce pollution in Delhi. We have decided to again put forward all these points to the Supreme Court and request it to reconsider the decision in the background of initiatives taken by the Government of India,” he said. Gadkari made the announcement after discussing the issue with the ministers of heavy industries and environ-
ment, forests and climate change. He said the ban has created an “unprecedented situation” for thousands of taxi drivers who have been ordered off the roads. “The ban has resulted in immediate loss of jobs of thousands of people and also serious commuting problems for working men,
women and youth in the NCR, particularly those employed in the IT and BPO sectors,” he said. He said safety issues were involved since the ban on diesel taxis will impact employees, especially in the IT and BPO sectors, who work late into the night. Non-availability of safe transport facilities
will raise safety concerns. Following the Supreme Court order, several major companies in Delhi-NCR have decided not to provide transport facilities to employees. Citing steps that will be put forth in the plea to reconsider the ban, Gadkari said that in last two years, ministries have been working to address the issue of growing pollution in Delhi. Initiatives include the one taken by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to implement BS-VI norms with effect from April 1, 2020 and successful comple-
tion of a pilot project on retrofitting polluting vehicles. “Oil companies shall invest more than Rs 60,000 crore for BSVI fuel. Standards for biofuel such as ethanol, biodiesel, electric hybrid have been notified,” he said. Other steps taken to improve air quality, Gadkari said, include finalisation of a decongestion plan for Delhi on eight arterial roads along with a concept note on scrapping. E-toll has begun on national highways and the E-rickshaw policy has also helped reduce pollution.

CCTV footage showing the alleged abduction of a 22-year-old northeast woman from in front of her PG accommodation Katriguppe in South Bengaluru on the night of April 23 has gone viral. The woman subsequently escaped from the clutches of her abductor, who took her to a construction site behind the PG accommodation before taking to his heels. It is alleged that officers at CK Achukattu police station were aware of the incident, however they did not act upon. Af-

“That night one of my friends had dropped me near my PG. When I was about to enter the PG, my friend called me. As I was talking on the phone, this man came from behind, grabbed me and walked away,” the woman told the media on Monday.

The unending agony of reservation politics
The Gujarat government’s offer of a 10% quota for the economically backward among the upper castes — the Patidars, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, etc — can be viewed from various angles. This is partially in imitation of the Rajasthan government’s decision to set aside 14% reservation for the ‘extremely backward classes’ among the ‘forward castes’, within the overall 19 percentage point increase in quotas it had announced. In the Gujarat case, the first thing that strikes a viewer is that the government is aiming at mollifying the Patidars (Patels), whose campaign for reservations is being spearheaded by Hardik Patel, now in jail. But the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti has been quick to reject the government offer by calling it a lollipop because it is a restricted form of reservation, meant for those whose family income is Rs 6 lakh per annum and below. Second, it is the third among the BJP-ruled states — after Haryana and Rajasthan — to raise reservations above the 50% level, which militates against a Supreme Court order of 1992. Ironically, the BJP rode to power at the Centre on the plank of good governance, which implies having competent, neutral people in responsible positions. Third, reservations, when they came into force in the early years of independence, were meant to be a temporary expedient intended to correct historical injustices towards marginalised societies. Now they are simply barrelling along to placate restive groups out to armtwist the State. The way the three states have gone about the matter is bound to have consequences. Once the Haryana government put the Jats and five other castes on the reserved list, other communities that are deprived vis-a-vis the Jats are bound the feel the pinch, despite the increase in the quota level. Now the Jats have threatened to renew their agitation if the quota for them is not increased. And any amount of restructuring of the reservation apparatus will not help. For example, in the case of Rajasthan, how can it be anybody’s contention that the deserving candidates among ‘extremely backward classes’ among the ‘forward castes’ must accommodate themselves within the 14%? What happens to the deserving surplus? Do they contest in the open category? And the most deleterious aspect of reservation politics is that it only sharpens caste divisions in society, leading to violence. If reservations are to continue, why not have them solely on economic criteria? That will bring within the fold of quotas religious minorities, many of whom certainly deserving of reservation. After all, a hungry person is a hungry person, whichever caste or religion she or he belongs to.

Cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Rajinikanth’s ‘Kabali’ teaser goes Anushka Sharma are back together? viral: But here’s why it is also a risk Agency | Mumbai
Agency | Chennai
We have more than ample proof that Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are back again. Or atleast we would like to think so. Now, the thing is that Kohli follows only 35 people each on Twitter and Instagram. And one of those he follows happens to be Anushka. And this has happened recently. Not long ago the cricketer stopped following Anushka on both Twitter and Instagram, fuelling rumours of their break up. And now that he is back to following the actor on both social media sites,
The teaser for Rajinikanth’s next film Kabali was released on Sunday, 1 May, which is world labour day. The one minute six seconds teaser just went viral across the globe in merely minutes, and was trending in all countries. The Kabali teaser has shattered all existing You Tube records for Indian films, by a mile. But we can’t say we are completely surprised. “Superstar Rajinikanth is the real king as he shattered all records on You Tube with Kabali teaser. In 22 hours the teaser has crossed 5 million views and 2.25 lakh likes, which is phenomenal by any yardstick,” says the producer of Kabali, Kalaipuli S Dhanu. Rajinikanth’s Kabali teaser
there is probably enough to suggest that the two are back together. The two have of course stayed mum in recent times as far as talking about their relationship status is concerned. Anushka celebrated her birthday on Sunday and will be soon seen in Sultan alongside Salman
Khan. Kohli is busy with the IPL, captaining Royal Challengers Bangalore. There is enough heat in their respective careers and the social media movements may suggest that both are back together. Now, our guess is as good as yours. Go, figure out for yourself.

Ranveer Singh is one of the actors who gives his cent per cent for every movie. And for ‘Beffikre’, which will be directed by Aditya Chopra, he is putting in more than that. The film marks the return of Aditya as a director after ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ (2008), and Ranveer is leaving no stone unturned to ensure Adi is satisfied with the actor’s efforts.

For this film, he is back to training with Lloyd Stevens, the one who helped him achieve that killer body in ‘Ram-Leela’. He has a tight schedule, shooting for very crucial scenes.

Agency | New Delhi Telecom operator Telenor has asked the Department of Telecom (DoT) to retain the option of deferred payment suggested by the regulator Trai, saying it would help reduce the burden on the industry. “The ‘pay as you earn’ payment terms is a win-win situation both for the industry and the government,” the operator, an arm of Norway-based Telenor, has said in a letter to DoT. The communication has come days after Norway-based Telenor’s top management expressed concerns over ‘high-priced’ spectrum in India and indicated an exit from the country if it fails to procure frequencies at reasonable price either through auction or trading route. On the one hand the payment burden on the TSPs (telecom service providers) is eased in the initial years and the resources will be utilised in roll-out of the networks, on the other hand there will be no loss to the exchequer,” Telenor CEO Sharad Mehrotra said in the letter. The letter addressed to Telecom Secretary J S Deepak said that the liberal payment policy can potentially make the frequency band below 1000 Mhz like 900 Mhz band and 700 Mhz band attractive to a lot of telecom companies. Trai has suggested that government should charge only 10 per cent of bids received for spectrum and balance payment should be made over period of 18 years in equal instalments with interest.

The research project is a collaboration between three Universities in UK and three in India. The team, including Prof Rekha Saxena from University of Delhi, along with human rights activist and SC lawyer Dr Sushant Kanungo was on

The Gujarat government Sunday promulgated an ordinance providing 10 per cent quota in government jobs and education for the economically weak among the upper castes. The Gujarat Unreserved Economically Weaker Sections (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) Ordinance, 2016, came into force with immediate effect. Citing the objects to bring the 10 per cent reservation for EWS, the ordinance, brought by
the Social Justice & Empowerment Department, read: “…it is also a fact that Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) of the unreserved categories of the society have expressed their inability to compete with the higher strata who are economically sound and as a result of which, such EWS feel disadvantaged.” It stated
