News Brief MP CM to perform ‘asanas’ on Yoga Day
Modi announces $2-billion line of credit to Bangladesh PM expresses confidence to reach a fair solution on Teesta water sharing “with support of State governments in India”.
Agency | Bhopal, Jun 6
Agency | Dhaka
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will lead the International Yoga Day observance in the state by performing a few ‘asanas’ at Lal Parade Ground here on June 21. The state government has made elaborate arrangements for making the event a grand success by ensuring presence of a large number of students, an official release said today. Apart from class VII to XII pupils of government and private schools and students pursuing a range of studies including Ayurvedic, Unani, Homoeopathy, Allopathy, nursing and engineering colleges will participate in the event.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has come up with a clever and unexpected move of extending a new $2 billion line of credit to Bangladesh. It will make China sit up and ponder deeper over its chequebook diplomacy. It will also send a message to smaller neighbours like Maldives which is playing a teasing game with India and refusing to free former president Mohammed Nasheed. It is unexpected because the first line of credit of $1 billion extended by India to Bangladesh in 2010 is still not fully exhausted, though Dhaka had been clamouring for it for some time. The small remainder of the previous $1 billion line of credit should be exhausted in a few weeks. Moreover, the Bangladeshis were expecting

Rahul Gandhi reaches out to home buyers, discusses real estate bill Agency | Kolkata
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday reached out to home buyers here to discuss concerns about the Real Estate Regulation Authority Bill which he says has “loopholes”. Gandhi, who has been aggressively attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over the land ordinance and farmers’ issues, likened the problems of the middle class buyers to what the farmers would face if the ordinance was passed by parliament. “This issue is very similar to the issue that I have been raising with regard to the land acquisition issue. It is just a different section of society,” Gandhi told the media here after the meeting. “They have been committed certain things and they have not got it. And as citizens when they

Though Modi may be criticized for his munificence by the opposition and even allies like Shiv Sena, but the fact remains that he would bowl over Bangladeshis completely with his chequebook coup. Internationally, the move is all set to make India’s immediate neighbours sit back and mull over their strategic options vis-a-vis China. From Maldives to Myanmar, from Afghanistan to Nepal the Indian neighbours would now be looking at India with much more respect – and expectations. Even countries like Vietnam, which was

Bangladesh on Saturday saw power play by leading Indian business houses on the sidelines of PM Narendra Modi’s visit, with Anil Ambani’s Reliance Power and Adani Power committing an estimated combined investment of $4.5 billion for setting up power stations in that country. Reliance Power said it has signed a deal with Bangladesh Power Development Board for setting up a 3,000MW liquid gasfired plant and a floating terminal for importing gas in ships to power the unit at a total investment of $3 billion. This would be the sin-
gle-largest foreign investment for Bangladesh. The floating terminal would be set up near the coastal city of Cox’s Bazar in Maheshkhali district, over 300km from capital Dhaka. BPDB is to provide land at appropriate site. Bangladesh produces about 7,000 mw and faces a daily shortfall
of around 1,500MW. A major chunk of power is produced by burning diesel and costs 15-16 cents per unit. Industry analysts said given the current economics of LNG (liquefied natural gas) price, Reliance Power would be able to supply electricity at sub-10 cents price.

Sadly, they used the lift after the fire broke out, although we have always maintained not to do so and died even before we could reach the spot.

Those who listened to the fire brigade and remained inside, we were able to rescue.

Political battle at Amul
The Kaira milk union, the original Amul cooperative built by Tribhuvandas Patel and Verghese Kurien, is in the midst of an ugly political tussle, that many fear could threaten its credibility and brand image, apart from harming the interests of farmer-members caught in the crossfire. Kaira is the only one among 17 district unions affiliated to the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), whose board is not controlled by the ruling BJP in the state. Both its chairman Ramsinh Parmar and vice-chairman Rajendrasinh Parmar are Congress MLAs from Thasra and Borsad assembly constituencies, respectively In the latest election to the Kaira union’s managing committee held on May 12, too, 10 out of the 13 members who won were from the existing Congress-led board. The remaining three elected members were BJP functionaries. But on May 22, the Registrar of Cooperatives (RCS) nominated three members to the union’s committee by invoking Section 80(2) of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act (GSCA), giving the state government the power to nominate three representatives on the board of any cooperative while citing “public interest”. The Kaira union’s bylaws provide for 17 members in its board of directors. That includes 13 elected members, one nominee of the RCS, two representatives of financial institutions (in this case, the Kaira District Central Cooperative Bank and the National Dairy Development Board), and one from the GCMMF. Under the GSCA, the total board strength can go up to 21 members. “By appointing three additional nominees through invoking the so-called public interest clause and hoping to enlist support from the other non-elected members, the whole intention was to convert minority into majority in order to capture the union and have a BJP chairman”, alleged Ramsinh Parmar. Besides, the RCS, on May 27, issued an order for conducting a “special audit” of the Kaira union. “This kind of harassment and political interference never happened when Narendra Modi was the chief minister. His government may not have supported our union in any way, but it at least showcased the Amul dairy as an example of an organisation helping poor farmers earn their bread”, Parmar added. The Kaira union, in 2014-15, procured an average 17.65 lakh litres per day of milk from 8.8 lakh farmer-members, who received payments of Rs 3,317 crore from an annual turnover of Rs 4,145 crore. The average Rs 578 per kg paid by the union to producers worked out to Rs 35.72 for a litre of full-cream milk that consumers buy at Rs 48. The ultimate sufferers of the ongoing political standoff are the farmers of Kheda and Anand districts, who provide milk to the Kaira union’s 1,205 primary cooperative societies. “Since there is no functioning board, important decisions, including approval of last year’s annual accounts or the budget for 2015-16, are pending.

Agency | Mumbai The Mehra family of Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do has become the talk of town, ever since they embarked on publicity duty. Lead by Kamal Mehra (Anil Kapoor), his son Kabir (Ranveer Singh), daughter Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) and wife Neelam (Shefali Shah), the Mehras are winning hearts across India. But this story is about the fifth Mehra, who hasn’t accompanied the family on these outings. His
name is Pluto Mehra and the reason he’s been excluded from the publicity blitz that the cast and crew have manfully sustained is because he’s not, technically speaking, human. All this, in addition to the latest buzz, leads us to conclude that Pluto Mehra has an important part to play in Dil Dhadakne Do. Ranveer Singh has said that Pluto’s ‘dialogues’ have been written by Javed Akhtar and superstar Aamir Khan is believed to have pro-
vided the voice of Pluto. Also, Pluto is reportedly the sutradhaar of this dysfunctional family’s story. He is the only voice of reason among the Mehras. He knows their foibles and follies and is privy to their deepest secrets and yet, loves them unconditionally. (Note: Is that why he looks so melancholic?)While Pluto prepares to introduce us to the Mehras, we take a look at Bollywood’s relationship with man’s best friend.

Adani Power Limited and Reliance Power Limited signed separate memorandums of understanding (MoU) with state-run Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) on Saturday, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi began a two-day state visit. “Reliance Power and BPDB today signed a MOU to develop four units of power plants to produce 3,000 MW of electricity with a cost of $3 billion (Rs 19,122 crore at 1 dollar = 63.74 rupees),” the company said in a statement.

Delimitation norms not followed: Congress leaders Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
The State Election Commission is looking into the claims of Congress leaders that there are several wards in the city where the continuity of the wards has not been maintained. There are wards that pass through canals, highways and even railways lines.On Friday, Congress leaders, led by city president Chetan Shah and leader of opposition in the AMC Badruddin Shaikh, made a representation to the State Election Commission in Gandhinagar and threatened to move the high court if the delimitation process was not relooked at. Of-
ficials of the election commission claimed that they want to get into the minute details as to why the collectorate had to keep aside these rules. The city had 64 wards and now the number of wards has been 48, so there was a possibility that at some point there would be no continuity in the ward. The Congress leaders claimed that according to the guidelines of the delimitation, there cannot be any ward which either crosses ring roads, highways or canals or railway lines. But in the recent delimitation of the Ahmedabad city, there are 16 wards
which are divided by the 200-feet SP Ring Road, while there are five wards which cross SG highway. The officials said that the four wards in the eastern part of the city cross the Narol-Naroda highway. The Congress leaders claimed that five wards are also divided by a canal. The leaders claimed even the railway line cannot pass through a ward. But there are 12 wards through which the railway line passes.

Sunvilla News | Gandhinagar
Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today expressed her resolve to make Gujarat as the model state in Revenue Reforms, with a call to make the Revenue rules and the process of appeals against disputes simple, fast and transparent. Addressing the district revenue officers and assistant pleaders at a Joint Council Meeting of the Office of Principal Secretary of Revenue Disputes Appeal and Government Pleaders Office here through videoconferencing, she said the State Revenue
Department has already settled several cases, mostly of inheritance, pending for years. Sharing her vast experience with variety of cases in the Revenue Department, she cited several instances as to how to settle complicated disputes amicably, whether they belong to the owners of farmland or to individuals. The Chief Minister asked the revenue department officials, as servants of the society, to dig out the pending files in their respective districts and settle the disputes early, within the framework of the
revenue rules. She pointed out that exemption to women in registration fees has cost the government Rs.616-crore, but it is worth it for empowering 15-lakh women. She said the promulgation and decisions to charge premium on jantri rates as significant moves. She wished the Joint Council Meeting of the Revenue Department becomes an annual affair. Minister of State for Law Pradeepsinh Jadeja also called for adopting a humane approach instead of casual handling for delivering justice to farmers, poor and the have-nots.

people on board to nurture the health of urban trees. Initiated as a crucial activity during the Gujarat Environment Festival 2015 to take care of the city’s green cover, WAY and its volunteers have, so far, succeeded in freeing 300 trees from 150 bill boards with about 10 kilogram of nails, screws and wires extracted. The campaign has expanded its horizon and stepped beyond Ahmedabad with similar drives across Rajkot, Porbandar, Junagadh, Anand-Vidhyanagar, Surendranagar and Gondal as well with active participation of more than 300 volunteers. “It has been a successful drive so far but more
needs to be done. Our long term target will be to take policy makers on board to create a composite Urban Tree Protection Policy round this issue. The nails damage the tissues responsible for carrying water and nutrients through the tree. The trees may take longer to heal from the initial prick and therefore be under more stress. This makes them more vulnerable to pests and diseases,” said Wricha Johari, programme director, WAY. Burning of waste under the trees, improper trimming, old tree-guards and irrational cementing of the ground around tree bases are other critical issues.
