Nestle moves U’khand HC over Maggi ban Agency | Nainital
Maggi Noodles has been banned in several states including Kerala, UP, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh
Worried by the threemonth ban imposed by the Uttrakhand government on Maggi, the product’s manufacturer, Nestle, has moved the Uttarakhand high court seeking withdrawal of the government order imposing the ban. The high court has asked the state government to present the laboratory test report of samples in court. “After listening to the state government and Nestle India Limited, the honourable high court has scheduled hearing of the case for June 15,” ad-
vocate general UK Uniyal said. The FSSAI on Friday ordered Maggi to withdraw and recall nine approved variants of its Maggi Instant Noodles from the market, “having been found unsafe and hazardous for human consumption, and
stop further production, processing, import, distribution and sale of the said product with immediate effect.” The FSSAI CEO YS Malik, in orders issued to the company on June 5, also noted that Nestle’s Maggi oats was brought into the market
raided over 1,269 units in the city and seized 820.6 kg stock of Maggi noodles,” an official statement said. Aday after Delhi banned Maggi noodles, the Gujarat government on Thursday cracked the whip on the sale of the popular brand along with other noodle brands. Thirty seven samples of various brands were collected
from the state, of which results of 27 were known on Thursday. Of these, 14 samples failed. Among these were 12 samples of Maggi and one each of SK Foods’ Hakka noodles and Sunfeast Noodles. The Gujarat government on Thursday banned sale, procurement and distribution of Maggi noodles after the tests results showed
without the product approval necessary under Section 22 of the FSS Act. “What is disturbing to note is that the Company had already released the said product(Maggie Oats Masala Noodles with Tastemaker) in the market without completing the process of risk assessment and has been promoting its sales. This is illegal and a serious violation of the FSS Act, Rules and Regulations thereunder. In the absence of safety/risk assessment and grant of Product Approval of a food product covered

Survivor Accounts Raise Questions About Yangtze Ship’s Final Moments Agency | Beijing
With no hope of finding survivors in the submerged hull of a Yangtze River cruise ship that capsized this week with 456 people aboard, officials turned their attention on Friday to recovering the dead, employing two huge cranes to right the vessel. Four days after the ship, the Oriental Star, flipped over in a ferocious storm, leaving 442 dead or missing, Chinese state television showed its three top decks emerging from the muddy waters of the river, lifted by the 500-ton cranes. A portion of its blue roof was crumpled, though it was unclear whether the damage occurred when it capsized or during efforts to turn it right side up. Relatives of the missing passengers and crew members who gathered in Jianli, the city closest to the shipwreck, continued to express frustration with the authorities, saying they were being kept in the dark about rescue and
presence of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and higher-than-prescribed lead levels in samples. A sample each of instant noodles of Sunfeast and S K Foods too were tested. Following which, S K Foods noodles were also banned for one month as a high lead content beyond 4 part per million (ppm) was found in the sample. The AMC health department has also issued notice to around 403 shops and imposed a fine of Rs 36,100 in total for improper storage, lack of hygiene, etc.
under Section 22 of the FSS Act, the Company has acted in violation of law. As such, the product cannot be allowed to be intended for human consumption and has to be withdrawn from the market forthwith,” the FSSAI order noted. Of the 13 samples tested in Delhi, one sample of Maggi
oats was tested, where lead higher than the permissible 2.50 PPM was found. Nestle has also served a show cause notice that has to be replied within a period of 15 days to show why product approvals granted for “Instant Noodles with Tastemaker – (9 variants)” in August
2013 be not withdrawn. In the product approval application submitted by Maggi in October 2012, granted in July 2013, Maggi had claimed to FSSAI it contained 0.0153 ppm, when tests in UP, Delhi, Gujarat and Kolkata have found lead levels ranging from 3-17.2 ppm lead.

Intelligence inputs had earlier suggested the ambush was carried out by a 15-member group of KYKL with weaponry support from NSCN (Khaplang). Soon after the deadly attack military intelligence received inputs about a heavily-armed
KYKL group spotted moving away from the site of the incident. The group was led by selfstyled “lieutenant” Tamba and was heading Thantapin village. The group is believed to have moved eastwards and crossed the international border from somewhere south of T Minou village in Manipur, which is south of the India-Myanmar border town of Tamu in Myanmar. The inputs stated that the group was equipped with RPGs and other sophisticated weapons. The vehicles in which the Army jawans were travelling were hit by RPGs and the “KYKL does not poses the sophisticated weapons and in all probability these were provided by NSCN (K). Moreover, the village where the ambush took place is a Naga village,” the source said.

Locked in a bitter standoff with the Centre, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, accusing him of being “revengeful” towards his government and the people of Delhi after BJP’s staggering defeat in Delhi polls. Kejriwal was even more strident in attacking Delhi’s lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung, calling him as BJP’s “polling agent” who had turned his official residence into “BJP headquarters”.“Delhi people have voted for us and the rest of the country supported Modi.

During a news conference organized by government officials, several distraught family members burst into the room and demanded to speak to reporters before being ushered out by officials. A number of victims’ relatives have described being trailed by government minders and instructed not to speak to journalists. State news media reported that 97 bodies had been recovered by Friday morning. Officials have not given foreign journalists access to any of the 14 people who survived, but the staterun Xinhua news agency released interviews with
several of those who escaped when the ship overturned Monday night, including its captain and chief engineer. At least four of the survivors were crew members, and a fifth has been described as a tour guide. Many of the passengers were elderly. In an interview published late on Thursday, the captain, Zhang Shunwen, 52, said he tried to steer the ship through the violent storm but lost control of it as he headed north with the prevailing winds. As the wheelhouse filled with water, Mr. Zhang felt his way out and then made his way to the upturned hull, Xinhua said.
The Leimakhong (Manipur)-based 57 Mountain Division of the Army launched one of the biggest combing operations in the hilly terrain of the state which shares a 353km porous border with Myanmar on the east after militants ambushed a convoy of 6 Dogra infantry regiment on Thursday morning in which 18 soldiers died and 15 others were injured. Army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag arrived in Imphal on Friday morning to review the situation even as NSCN (K) and to Meitei outfits Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) and Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) has claimed responsibility for the ambush in a joint statement issued. Ulfa (I) leader Paresh Baruah on Thursday had

No short cuts to safety The rapid response of the Centre and the States to concerns about the safety of mass-marketed branded noodles is a welcome departure from the culture of governmental indifference to matters of public safety. Several States have initiated testing of samples of Nestle’s ‘Maggi’ noodles to assess levels of lead, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and other chemicals. The first tests commissioned by Uttar Pradesh last year, which were repeated in an apex laboratory in Kolkata for confirmation, indicated that the levels of lead in the snack were much higher than legally permissible; MSG, a flavouring salt normally added to preserved foods, was also found, although on the label there was no indication of its presence. This is plainly unacceptable. Food safety, particularly in the case of aggressively promoted packaged snacks aimed at children, is critically important. The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, which requires the States to deploy an effective enforcement mechanism, seeks to achieve that with a regime of stiff penalties ranging from fines to a life term in prison. Data presented to Parliament last month show that over 10,200 prosecutions were launched under the law in 2013-14, but they resulted in only 913 convictions; in some States and Union territories, none was secured. In the ‘Maggi’ noodles case, a fuller picture will emerge when the results of tests ordered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India are known. It is important to trace the origin of the problem, and its possible linkages to other food articles. This requires State governments to maintain vigilance and undertake sincere, transparent efforts to identify unsafe foods. For its part, the food industry, which deploys enormous resources for lobbying and advertising, would help its own cause by cooperating with the investigation. What stands out as overreach in the entire episode, however, is the targeting of celebrities for their endorsement of ‘Maggi’ products in the past. As actor Preity Zinta tweeted, it is puzzling that she received a court notice for an endorsement made a dozen years ago. Celebrities must choose with great care the products and causes they endorse, but there is little doubt that their support has advanced many campaigns for public health, women and child rights, and so on. It is also relevant to point out here that food safety cannot exist in a vacuum, where the government neglects social determinants of health such as clean water, pollution control, elimination of adulteration, access to energy and freedom from corruption. In contrast to big corporations that have easy access to resources, India’s food business also has small, informal-sector participants who depend on it for livelihood. Without a supportive state, even well-meaning food laws cannot be comprehensively enforced.

Her mother recently went on record to dismiss rumours of Sidharth Malhotra staying over at their family home and now Alia Bhatt has officially bought a place of her own. While she ensured that her new apartment is still very close to the family home she grew up in, the 22-year-old actress feels it is time she had her own place. peaking to DNA India, Bhatt said, “It’s all very new and unexplored for me. All my life, I’ve lived with my parents. Now I need my own place. I made sure I got
a place very
close to my parents’ home… My nanaji and mom took care of all the details of my new home… There’s still a lot of work to be done in the new place… honestly, I am not looking forward to leaving behind the home where I grew up.” The actress’ sister, Shaheen, will also be moving into the apartment. On the work front, Bhatt is currently juggling a number of projects, including
‘Shaandaar’, ‘Udta Punjab’ and ‘Kapoor &Sons’.
Hrithik Roshan trolled yet again on Twitter, this time for a serious issue
Agency | New Delhi Just a few days after being trolled mercilessly on Twitter for tweeting about ‘The Dress’, Hrithik Roshan is again at the receiving end of the Twitterati’s wrath, this time for a more serious issue.
Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter last night (June 4) to condemn the Manipur attack, but a little less on knowledge as he was, he chose the wrong words to convey his message. Even after Hrithik made the correction, the Twitterati showed no mercy and
kept on trolling. The actor was meted out a similar treatment when on May 21, he tweeted about ‘The Dress’ that broke the internet three months back. A little late in informing his fans and followers about this, Hrithik was attacked on Twitter for his ignorance.
of Bollywood’s finest, but this film is shallow
Agency | Mumbai When a camera does an almost a single-take waltz, around a brilliantly choreographed song with an infectious rhythm, and Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar and Anil Kapoor grooving with hardcore filmi desi gusto, it’s both a treat and a feat. In Dil Dhadakne Do, this is achieved by one of Bollywood’s best directors, Zoya Akhtar. There are few directors who add meaning to feelgood
cinema. Akhtar and Raj Kumar Hirani are the top contenders in that arena. Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara remains the finest in several aspects of filmmaking. There’s unusual casting; a screenplay as smooth as a BMW ride; grand visual imagery and above all, Farhan Akhtar’s witty one-liners, which leave you guffawing along with pranksters who add ‘bwoys’ to the dictionary. Dil Dhadakne Do is the story of a family cele-
Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher on Friday revealed that his now renowned acting school in India, ‘The Actor Prepares’, was a result of bankruptcy he faced 11 years back. While stressing on the importance of an acting institute, the ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ star called upon the Malaysian government to build such a school in the country. “I failed in all other aspects of filmmaking and was completely bankrupt because my dreams were higher than realities. So, I started my acting school in a small room with 12 students to prepare future actors and actresses. I will request Malaysian government
also to build an acting school here,” Kher said while addressing IIFA 2015’s inaugural session “Business Forum”. The 60-year-old actor, who has completed 31 years in the Hindi film industry, said he is happy that Bollywood movies have made a mark in the international diaspora. “Our cinema has evolved in last 60 years because we have made people happy through our films. The main purpose of our storyline is to spread happiness. Our cinema has an emotional connect,” he said. The actor credited the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making Indian cinema popular. “India is a young country and entertainment was the last

lywood. “I hate to use Bollywood. We have coined a word similar to Hollywood. Our industry is Hindi film industry and it has the potential to take over any industry in next 10 years because of the infrastructure and corporates pitching in,” he said.
The actress who made her big debut in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Heropanti last year was born and brought up in a middle class family in Delhi and is managing on her own in Bombay now. While Kriti’s parents planned her first trip abroad and made it special, the actress wanted to do the same for her younger sister as she is the only one in her family who has not taken an international trip yet. She has personally looked into all the details right from booking the tickets, her stay, list of places to visit in Thailand. Kriti shares a very close bond with her sister and
brating the parents’ 25th wedding anniversary on a luxury cruise around Europe, and it is an ambitious and well-intended attempt to sail around unspoken territories. It’s a sincere attempt to go deep, which in the entire first half ends up dragging under its serious tone and humourless weight. The film just about stays afloat with the help of three winsome actors: Farhan Akhtar, Anushka Sharma and Shefali Shah.

P Kashyap shocks World No 1 Chen Long to storm into Indonesian Open semis Agency | Jakarta
Ace Indian shuttler Parupalli Kashyap rallied to shock World No. 1 Chen Long, continuing his giant-killing spree to enter the men’s singles semifinals of the Indonesian Open Super Series badminton tournament. Kashyap, ranked 12th in the world, came from behind to beat the top seed Chinese 14-21 21-17 21-14 in a contest that lasted an hour and three minutes. The Commonwealth gold-medallist was consistent with his smashes and impeccable with his net play against his more fancied opponent. Coming into this match, Long had a 7-1 head-to-head record against Kashyap. The numero uno shuttler over the last two years has emerged as China’s successor to the incomparable Lin Dan. Inci-
dentally, Kashyap’s last victory against Long came in this very tournament in 2012. In what was a classic David vs Goliath battle, Kashyap used all his resources to overcome his rival. One of the fastest movers and hardest hitters in the world, Long failed to counter Kashyap’s odd, precise smashes and started committing unforced errors. In the opening game, Kashyap was hardly a match to Long, who not just
opened up a 6-2 lead but consistently moved ahead. Although Kashyap caught up with him on a couple of occasions but once the Chinese broke away from a tied 11-11 position to 16-11, there was no looking back for him. Long comfortably sealed the first game 21-14. The second game went neck-andneck till 7-7 before the Indian managed to take a slight lead and hold on to the advantage always keeping his nose ahead.

RBI to cut interest rate by another 25 bps in fourth quarter - Reuters poll Agency | Mumbai
The Reserve Bank of India won’t cut its key interest rate again until the final quarter of the year as it waits to see how the monsoon season affects food prices, a Reuters poll found. To try to put growth on a firmer footing, RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has chopped 25 basis points from the repo rate three times this year, with the latest cut on Tuesday leaving it at 7.25 percent. The RBI made it clear on Tuesday that more rate cuts would depend on the outcome of India’s annual rainy season and government moves to ease the pressure on food prices, which make up almost half the basket of goods used to measure inflation. The consensus from the poll of over 30 economists suggests the RBI won’t cut at its next policy meeting in August but will in the final quarter of the year, unchanged from a poll taken prior to the meeting. “The scope
for another rate cut of 25 bps still remains but its timing will remain contingent on how incoming data pans out and how global triggers - the normalization of monetary policy in the U.S. in particular - unfold,” wrote analysts at HDFC Bank. A below-normal monsoon and stabilising crude prices, which have fallen sharply over the past year, may push inflation higher, particularly through rising food prices. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank is expected to hike interest rates in the world’s biggest economy in September, according to the latest consensus from economists, but there is still considerable uncertainty over the timing. Any signs of delaying by the Fed would give the RBI more room to manoeuvre at its next policy meeting in August. Some analysts say if the rains are favourable it may press ahead with more monetary easing then.
Agency | Bengaluru Bengaluru FC’s player of the season Eugeneson Lyngdoh believes there should be a referee review system in the I-League to scrutinise supervision howlers and take necessary action. Bengaluru became the runners-up in the I-League after drawing their final league match 1-1 against eventu-

Leading 1-0, they had a strong shout for a penalty turned down by referee Santosh Kumar in the second half when striker Robin Singh was brought down by goalkeeper Shilton Paul. They conceded a goal three minutes from regulation time to witness
their title ambitions slip away. “Some decisions didn’t go our way; you can’t step away from that. I hope officials make the calls for the right reasons. If anybody disagrees that was not a penalty then I don’t know, anywhere in the world it was a penalty. It was a harsh decision,” Lyngdoh was quoted as saying by goal.com on Friday.
