RBI Cuts Repo Rate By 25 bps To 6.25% (H.S.) | New Delhi
While most real estate developers have lauded the surprise repo rate cut by 25 basis points as a welcome step that will lead to increased sales this festive season, realty experts caution that it will only lead to marginal improvement in homebuyer sentiment.Implementation of Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, is mandatory to instil confidence among end-users to come forward to buy property. Banks too must pass on the benefit to home loan borrowers, they say. Most experts are, however, positive, that banks will pass on the benefits of the rate cuts to buyers, making home loan EMIs cheaper. After the first
round of rate cut in April this year, the Apex bank has for the second time decided to slash rates after no change in the June and August policies citing falling inflation as the main reason for the move. “Unless RERA and other pro-consumer policies come into play, buyers will continue to be wary. Therefore, we can expect only a marginal improvement in sentiment
on the back of this rate cut. At this point, there is also no ready answer to the question of what benefits of the rate cuts will banks actually pass on to borrowers. Cheaper loans for homebuyers will prompt a renewed interest in residential property purchase from end users and investors,” says Anuj Puri, chairman and country head, JLL India: Shishir Baijal, chairman

tate sector. “We do hope that the transmission of the rate cut is efficient and banks pass on the benefit to the customers in similar magnitude,” he says. Builders are nev-
ertheless upbeat about sales this festive season following the cut in repo rates and say they could not have expected better news. Manoj Gaur, president Credai-NCR and MD, Gaursons India Ltd, says that “at this point of time when the sentiments are positive and people are eager to buy and invest in property, banks will now cut interest rates. This will allow buyers to get their EMIs
reduced. The demand will witness a better rise in the current festive season which will allow the inventory to clear in major metro cities.” Vineet Relia, managing director, SARE Homes, says that this is a welcome step by the government and will infuse confidence in the system, thereby providing a boost to not only the real estate sector, but the overall economy ahead of the festive season as well.
a view whether such strikes did happen. In Goa, the Defence Minister (Manohar Parrikar) is being publicly felicitated. Why were earlier surgical strikes not announced in a press conference? Why
was a press conference done now (by DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh)?. Was there any pressure from the government?” he asked. Army conducted surgical strikes on seven terror launch pads along the LoC on the intervening night of September 28 and 29, inflicting “significant casualties” on terrorists preparing to infiltrate from PoK. The next morning, the DGMO had given this information to the media in a press conference.
Minister Nitin Patel said in a release that government would fill up more than 60,000 vacant posts as per the rules existing prior to the issuance of ordinance for EBC quota on May 1. The High Court struck down the 10 per cent EBC quota on August 8, and when the state filed ppeal, the Supreme Court said the admissions under this quota granted before August 8 would not be cancelled, but the new quota would
not be implemented after that date, till the appeal was pending. The SC also asked the government not to implement EBC quota in recruitments, stated the release. “It is also necessary to see to it that the recruitment process does not get hampered. Therefore the state government has decided to provide jobs to more than 60,000 youths to strengthen the administration. This recruitment will be held as per the rules and regulations in place before the notification on EBC quota was issued,” said Patel. The SC has referred the quota case to a three-judge bench. “If the Supreme Court gives judgement in our favour, we will hold a separate recruitment drive to induct youths from EBC category,” said Patel.

programmes that can be launched in the run-up to the elections and reviewed the political situation in Gujarat, Patel added. Ways of reaching out to the people to highlight the Central and state government’s schemes were also discussed, he said.
Known for making controversial statements, Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam on Tuesday questioned the authenticity of the government’s claim of carrying out surgical strikes against terror launch pads along the line of control in Pakistan. Nirupam said while everyone wants Army to conduct surgical strike, it should not be a fake one. “Every Indian wants #SurgicalStrikesAgainstPak but not a fake one to extract just political benefit by #BJP. Politics over national interest,” tweeted Nirupam along with the posters of BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Later talking to reporters, Nirupam said it is upto the govern-
Assembly in its special session passed the resolution and argued that due to the increase of water in the four reservoirs of the basin from 27.6 tmc to 34.13 tmc, it decided to use water not only for drinking but farming purposes as well. On September 23, the state legislature, citing acute
shortage of water, had unanimously resolved to reserve waters of the Cauvery River for drinking purpose of the people in the state. The apex court had on September 30 directed Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu from October 1 till October 6 and asked the CWMB to visit both states and file a report on the “ground realities” by October 6. The chairman of Central Water Commission will lead a team to survey ground realities and submit a report on October 18, which is the next date of hearing.

2 / Dt. 05-10-2016, Wednesday Editors’ Picks wednesday, october 05, 2016 Revoking the Indus water treaty could mean a loss of credibility for India
Blood and water can’t flow together. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comment on the river Indus, with the dark hint of retribution, sends out a chilling signal to Pakistan. It also disturbingly hyphenates the link between terrorism and water. This is reinforced by the frenzied talk of avenging Uri by revoking the 56-year-old Indus Water Treaty. To what extent has India’s political signaling on the Indus taken into account the possible payoffs? International experience on using water as a weapon to stop terrorism is a sobering one. Turkey used water as a weapon to punish Syria for its alleged role in supporting the terrorist activities of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) directed against it. In 2014, Turkey completely cut off water from the Euphrates leaving seven million downstream Syrians without access to fresh water. By doing so, Turkey reneged on a 1994 international agreement to guarantee a minimum share of the waters of the Euphrates to Syria and Iraq. Earlier this year, Israel stopped water supply to several Palestinian towns and cities for weeks. Each of these instances brought serious collateral damage to civilian populations and proved to be a cure worse than the problem. Advocates of a similar strategy on the Indus would do well to remember that it could only end up worsening future distributional conflicts over water in the sub-region. Given that nearly 65 per cent of its territory is part of the Indus basin, Pakistan’s dependence on its flows cannot be overstated. If downstream communities hold the upper riparian state responsible for their livelihood setbacks, can India’s public diplomacy afford to ignore their sentiments? Article 54 of Protocol I to the Geneva Convention prohibits actions targeting civilian populations that may result in “inadequate food or water as to cause its starvation”. India would also do well to remember that its actions as an upper riparian country run the risk of seriously undermining its position as a lower riparian state vis-à-vis China. On the Brahmaputra, India has stakes in institutionalising norms of first-user rights, joint management and consultative processes. India’s plan to build 168 mega dams in Arunachal Pradesh and the moves to expedite hydroelectric projects on the sub-basins of the Siang, Lohit and Subansiri rivers are part of its attempts to establish user rights. If it chooses to renege on its own international obligations, how realistic are India’s chances of getting China to invest in process-oriented, institutionalised norms in a transboundary basin? How would a planned move to abrogate international obligations be read in Dhaka, Kathmandu or Thimphu? Is it likely to inspire confidence in India’s credentials as a leader with an inclination to design regional norms of benefit-sharing? Or would it further reinforce the perception that India has a strong unilateralist streak? What is worse, contradictory political signalling can result in a high degree of uncertainty. For instance, on the one hand, India provides flood-forecasting data to Pakistan and Bangladesh free of cost but on the other, it has not been averse to occasionally flexing its muscles as an upper riparian country. It will also be in India’s interest that the exercise of its power as an upper riparian state is seen as legitimate and credible. International experience validates this quite clearly.

Both the movies that featured Sonam Kapoor had bombed at the box office. An embarrassed Sonam said, “Harsh, you can’t say that publicly” to which the brother meekly
replies, “You asked the question. Sorry.” With this, both of them were seen going to a hysterical laugh for few seconds until Sonam puts it to rest saying “Let’s not talk about it.” She even added that she was “trying to be more diplomatic.” However, the gorgeous actor shyly put forward, “I love you Abbas Mastan sir.” “I just didn’t enjoy those movies,” said Harshvardhan. “Yaah, me neither but it’s okay they did what they had to do,” chuckled Sonam. Harshvardhan Kapoor is all set to release his upcoming Mirzya. Featuring Saiyami Kher as the female lead, the Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directed flick releases on October 7.
Veteran actor Om Puri lent his support in favour of Pakistani actors saying that the ban on Pakistani artistes will not change the situation. He said Pakistani artistes are not working illegally in India and if they are sent back, Indian producers, who have signed them for their films, will suffer heavy losses. However, during a live debate on a leading channel, the actor spoke something which did not go down well with the audience and even his friends from the industry. Talking insensitively about the Indian martyrs, Puri said, “Who had asked the soldiers to join the army? Who told them to pick the weapons?”. He didn’t stop there. The actor further went on to suggest that India should prepare 15-20 human sui-
cide bombers and send them to Pakistan for the blasts. n air, the internet was flooded with criticism for Om Puri’s harsh words for those serving the country. In fact, the actor was also flaked by his contemporary Anupam Kher. On his official Twitter account, Anupam Kher wrote, “Dear #OmPuri ji. Mai aapki bahut izzat karta hoon. Lekin kal tv per desh ke sainik ke baare mein aapki baat sunkar bahut DUKH hua. #VerySad.” While many supported Om Puri on his statement
about the ban of Pakistani actors, his words for Indian army and comment over the issue of national security has raised quite a lot eyebrows. The actor’s remark came days after superstar Salman Khan opposed the ban too, by saying “they are artistes not terrorists”. The film industry has been divided on the issue of banning Pakistani artistes in the wake of Uri attack. Actor Randeep Hooda, filmmakers Ashoke Pandit and Anupam Kher are among those who have backed the ban.

While his co-star Prabhas recently made news for getting a wax statue at Madame Tussauds in Bangkok, Rana is making news for his look in which he has beefed up his body to give his devil avatar on the screen a new edge altogether. The actor, through his official Twitter account, posted a picture of him flexing his body with his gym trainer and captioned the picture as, “Here goes the new and improved me!! #BiggerMeanerStronger for @BaahubaliMovie with @KunalGir”.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its order on a plea filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy challenging the two-year ban imposed on IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK). A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said that it will pronounce an order on the matter. Swamy, in his plea, has alleged that there were no allegations against either N Srinivasan or against any members of the CSK and hence the ban imposed by the Justice R M Lodha panel was “illegal, arbitrary and unreasonable”. The Lodha panel had banned CSK and Rajasthan Royals after holding that its top officials like Raj Kundra and Gurunath Meiyappan were found involved in betting.

FC Goa are coached by Brazilian legend Zico and though they have some injury concerns, they will still be a strong side.

fit. But I am satisfied with the foreign players and I am also very happy with the Indian boys,” said the Portuguese coach. It is hard to predict what FC Goa will do as they launch their campaign away from home. They had their pre-season in Brazil and played four friendlies with chief coach Zico using different players and trying out different formations. FC Goa did not play any friendlies at home, leaving everyone wondering about the starting eleven. They, however, will not be able to use the services of several players who are nursing injuries.

Agency | London People who suffer from acne may be better protected against the signs of ageing such as wrinkles and skin thinning, a new study has claimed. Scientists at King’s College London have found that people who have previously suffered from acne are likely to have longer telomeres in their white blood cells, meaning their cells could be better protected against ageing. Telomeres are repetitive nucleotide sequences found at the end of chromosomes which protect them from deteriorating during the process of replication. Telomeres gradually break down and shrink as cells age, eventually leading to cell death which is a normal part of human growth and ageing. Previous studies have shown that white blood cell telomere length can be predictive of biological ageing and is linked with telomere length in other cells in the body. The study measured the length of white blood cell telomeres in 1,205 twins from the TwinsUK cohort.

PM Modi, CM Vijay Rupani feature on hoardings for mall that awaits VMC nod Correspondent | Vadodara
A realty group has put up hoardings across the city, purportedly promoting the Swachhata Mission, with photographs of PM Narendra Modi and CM Vijay Rupani, signing off with its mall project brand name Agora 2, for which the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) is yet to give its nod, pending a PIL in the Gujarat High Court. Shree Balaji Group — the construction subsidiary of Manav Infrastru-cture — which is redeveloping the proposed Sanjaynagar slum rehabilitation scheme (SRS) of the VMC, has chosen the Navratri festival to brand a proposed luxurious residential project with a high-end mall. The developer has been given the contract by the VMC under the state government’s Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model. The
Top official suggests pruning and thinning of Gir forest, but minister says no such proposal Correspondent | Sasan
ADDITIONAL CHIEF secretary Punamchand Parmar, who held the charge of forest and environment department in the Gujarat government till recently, on Monday said the department should consider ways of accommodating more wild animals within protected areas to mitigate man-animal conflict, and suggested the idea of pruning and thinning of forests should be looked into. Minister of State for Forest and Environment Shabdasharan Tadvi, however, said no such proposal was under consideration as of now.

Remember that JNU incident? Many politicians rushed to JNU campus to support those students who were under scanner for shouting slogans such as ‘Bharat tere tukde honge’. Those in race to support such disgraceful lot were left, Congress and AAP politicians. They nevertheless got exposed completely in front of entire nation. Now the same brigade is back to get exposed again. Remember that Digvijay Singh who had attended a book launch function way back before few years? The book was about a theory that it was RSS that actually masterminded the 26/11 Mumbai attack! What a great help Diggi and his friends extended to Pakistan? Now Diggi is back and he is seeking evidences for Indian Army’s surgical strike on camps of terrorists in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
tuary area can be pruned and thinned so that the population of herbivores in the forest goes up, their movement becomes free and movement of lions also becomes free. You will have to think of how more animals can live in our captive areas,” said Parmar, ACS for urban development and urban housing department of the Gujarat government. The two-day workshop marked the culmination of year-long celebrations of the golden jubilee of the Gir sanctuary.
ed former union minister Arun Shourie’s tweet to paint Indian Army as liar! Here is the relevant portion of his press release in Gujarati. Now the fact is that Arun Shourie is not on twitter at all. The tweet Vaghela quoting as Arun Shourie’s is from Shourie’s fake account which clearly describes itself in its profile as ‘seriously, a parody account’ of Shourie. So how naive is Shankersinh to treat Shouri’s parody account as real in order to play politics over it and paint Army spokespersons’ announcement as lie?
June 1, the last date being September 30. In the first two months, sources said, not many were forthcoming after which Income Tax officials began an awareness drive, meeting realtors, textile and diamond businessmen and chartered accountants. Suvidha Enterprise, a group of diamond merchants and realtors having construction sites at various places in Surat city like Katargam, Varachha, and Kapodara,
put up banners outside their project site. One such banner in Katargam said, “The Firm Suvidha Enterprise is covered under Income Disclosure Scheme (IDS) 2016.” Proprietor of Suvidha Kishor Patel was unavailable for comment but a senior employee said on condition of anonymity: Yes, we put up banners outside the main gate of our construction site at Ankur School crossroad.

hoarding, bearing prominent photographs of PM Modi, CM Rupani and the logo of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, along with a symbolic face of Goddess Durga, reads, “Navratri is a festival that symbolises power, faith and verve. Come, residents of Vadodara, let us forge an unbreakable bond and pledge to Swachh Bharat.” It signs off as “Shree Balaji Group, Agora 2 (mall) Vadodara” with a silhouette of the design planned for the facade of the mall. According to VMC officials from land, estate and commercial department, the permission for the hoarding was grant-
ed under the “religious hoarding” head. An officer said, “We don’t check the contents of hoardings before approving the permission. We only give permission for hoardings under the head of religious event.” The builder has previously advertised the mall at the site of the slum redevelopment scheme, seeking advance bookings. However, the VMC town planning department is yet to clear the mall that the builder has been branding. VMC Town Development Officer Navendu Parikh said, “We have not yet cleared any proposal for the construction of the Agora 2 Mall.”
THE Government has reason to pat itself on its back when it announced that black money worth Rs 65,250 crore was declared under the Income Tax Disclosure scheme. But some of the declarants are doing that to themselves, too. Apparently unconcerned about the confidentiality clause, Surat businessmen are talking about their disclosures publicly, one even displayed a poster outside his office until the tax department asked him to take it off. At Rs 2,500 crore in disclosures of unaccounted income, Surat topped the list of cities in Gujarat where the statewide corpus was Rs 4,200 crore. The IDS kicked in

headquarters of Gir National Park and Sanctuary, Parmar said it was encouraging that the population of Asiatic lions has gone up to 523 in 2015 from 177 in 1968. But at the same time, he said, it was a matter of concern also since the big cats were moving out of sanctuaries and roaming in areas dominated by humans. “We are also concerned about the safety of people of the villages in which lions are moving.

The rain god seems to be in ‘no mercy’ mood for the Khelaiyas or Garba-participants in Gujarat as downpours across several parts of the state continued on the fourth consecutive day of Narratri disrupting this most colorful festival to a big extent. Even as rain lashed 181 talukas of 32 districts (of the total 33) in the last 24 hours forcing many Garba events to cancellation including the main state event of Vibrant Navratri in Ahmedabad, Many parts of the state including Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Kutch, Surat, Navsari, Banaskantha etc received moderate to heavy rains
again today. In the last 24 hours maximum 95 mm of rain was recorded in Botad. What is more is that the met department has issued fresh warning of heavy rains at many places across the state especially in Saurashtra and South Gujarat in the next two days. Director of Met Center in Ahmedabad, Jayanta Sarkar said that rains are in fact likely to continue for three to
four more days under the effect of upper air circulation over North Konkan and Goa, adjoining Gujarat and parts of South West Madhya Pradesh. Owing to this unusual rain during this period of the year (though it is common for a La Nina year like 2016) water level in many dams across the state has surged while some in Saurashtra were close to overflow.
Roll revision: EC to share list of ‘deleted’ voters with parties in Gujarat
Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
In order to avoid the controversy surrounding deletion of voters from electoral rolls — as was witnessed during the local body polls last year — the Election Commission of India (EC) will be providing all political parties soft copies of the list of voters whose names might get deleted during the ongoing electoral roll revision process currently under way in Gujarat. In preparation for the 2017 Assembly polls in Gujarat, the EC has been revising the electoral rolls in the state. “During the two special campaign dates that were undertaken by the officials on September 18 and 25, a total of 68,062 applica-
tions (Form 7) requesting deletion of names from electoral rolls have already been received. Most of them are voters who have either passed away or have moved to some other state,” said A H Manek, additional chief electoral officer of Gujarat. “We will be providing all political parties a soft copy of the list of voters’ names that get deleted at regular intervals. These soft copies that will be provided by the electoral registration officers will not only intimate the stakeholders, but will also provide greater transparency,” Manek added.
