Warner banking on ‘great balance’ in Sunrisers’ squad
In a major blow to PM Modi’s Pakistan outreach, the neighbouring country has significantly hardened its stance. Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit has said that at present peace process is suspended between the two countries. It is a clean break from the atmosphere of talks between the two countries which was promoted in the last few months and got a flip when Modi made a surprise stop-over to Pakistan while travelling from Afghanistan to India. Abdul Basit said, “ As far as I know there is no meeting scheduled between two foreign secretaries (India-Pak) yet”. Speaking at a press conference, Abdul
Basit said that, “ There shouldn’t be any doubt that Pak wants to have a normal & peaceful relationship with India”. In a veiled jibe towards India, Basit said, “ We all are aware of those who seek to create unrest in Pakistan and destabilise it. They are bound to fail as the people of Pakistan are united to effectively
counter anti-Pakistan subversive activities on basis of sovereign equality and mutual interest. There is national consensus on this in Pakistan”.Reiterating the old line of Kashmir issue being the bone of contention between the two countries, Basit said that, It is the Jammu and Kashmir dispute that is the root
cause of mutual distrust (Indo-Pak) and other bilateral issues. Therefore, it’s fair and just resolution, as per aspirations of people of Jammu & Kashmir, is imperative. Therefore, a fair and just resolution is a must and attempts to put it on backburner from our perspective will be counterproductive”.Referring to the arrest of ‘RAW Spy’, Basit said that, “The recent arrest of Kulbhushan Yadav in Pakistan irrefutably corroborates what Pakistan has been saying all along. We all are aware of those who seek to create unrest in Pakistan and destabilise the country.

Water crisis: In the lead up to a summer of disputes
On March 13, NTPC’s 2,100 MW Farakka Super Thermal Power Station in West Bengal had to stop generation, given a declining availability of cooling water from the Farakka feeder canal. This hit power supply in five states, affecting 38,000 households, while leaving the town of Farakka without potable water. On the Ganga, ferries were suspended, while 13 barges carrying coal were left stranded. The Ganga, it seems, is running shallow. With Haryana’s fields increasingly running dry, the Jat agitation obscures an agrarian crisis. The passage of the Punjab Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal Bill (2016) by the Punjab assembly on a non-partisan basis has unilaterally sparked a crisis in riparian management. Water availability in India’s 91 reservoirs has now reached its lowest level in a decade, touching 29% of storage capacity. Eighty-five per cent of the country’s water needs are now supplied by rapidly declining aquifers. With increasing tanker dependence, water conflicts are arising — prohibitory orders have been imposed in villages in Latur, Maharashtra, while water supply to local swimming pools has been cut off. Short-sighted political tactics, combined with irrigation inefficiency, have served to make water disputes intractable. Water is a commodity that resists commodification — a recipe for market failure. States have often cited the Harmon Doctrine, ignoring externalities and past investments, to support the idea of absolute sovereignty over water flowing through its territories. More successfully, the social contract approach has focused on deciding on an initial allocation of property rights and creating a mechanism to trade such rights. The Inter-States Water Disputes Act (1956) was enacted to deal with conflicts, creating adjudication tribunals where direct negotiations failed. However, such tribunal decisions have often not been accepted by disputing parties, leaving arbitration as a non-binding mechanism. Interventions by the Centre, as in the Ravi-Beas dispute, have also been unsuccessful. India’s water settlement dispute mechanisms remain opaque and ambiguous. As rivers generally cross state boundaries, the construction of equitable mechanisms for allocating river flows has been a constitutional legacy. With a plethora of stakeholders — state governments, Parliament, courts, water tribunals, central ministries and civil society — water disputes have remained a persistent phenomenon. With growing consensus that many such disputes are increasingly intractable, existing institutional arrangements have clearly failed to generate outcomes that focus on growth and the national interest. The Cauvery dispute, led to 26 meetings between 1968 and 1990 at the ministerial level, between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with no consensus reached.

Bharadwaj makes his acting debut in Tiger Shroff starrer “Baaghi”, slated to release on April 29. “Tiger is like my family now. What inspires me about him the most is his honesty and the dignity. Among the young generation, he is biggest thing that has happened to our country,” Bharadwaj said. “He is the youngest star to inspire people. Tiger has maintained the purity and humility of ‘Kalaripayattu’ (a martial art form) in the film,” he said.It was easy for Bharadwaj to train Tiger. “We (Tiger and I) share same values on and off screen. It is not about being easy or tough, it is about being what you are,” he added.

Just flying in the air with the help of action doesn’t mean it’s action.

him different from other south stars? Why is he the true Power Star? Many people compare Pawan Kalyan’s popularity to that of late NT Rama Rao and feel he could follow in his footsteps. But unlike the great NTR, he hasn’t done too many films. In fact, in his 20-year career he has acted in just 23 films. Nevertheless, the audience looks forward to every film of his. This Tollywood star has a cult following, especially among the youth. So much so, his dialogues and ideology are termed ‘Pawanisms’. The actor is also seen as someone who connects with the ordinary man and this is evident from the support he has for his Jana Sena Party.

IPL water wastage row: No stay on first match in Mumbai, says Bombay HC
Agency | Washington The number of people living with diabetes has nearly quadrupled to 422 million over 35 years, with most living in developing countries, the WHO warned today, adding the world is facing an “unrelenting march” of the disease which now affects nearly one in 11 adults. Factors driving this dramatic rise include overweight and obesity, according to a major new report by World Health Organisation (WHO) released ahead of the World Health Day. The report warned that the diabetes cases have risen to 422 million in 2014 from 108 million in 1980, 314 million more. “If we are to make any headway in halting the rise in diabetes, we need to rethink our daily lives: to eat healthily, be physically active, and avoid excessive weight gain,” said Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General.

Haren Pandya murder: Gujarat HC reduces convict’s 4-year term, imposes Rs 21 lakh fine
Agency | Geneva The World Trade Organization on Thursday revised its 2016 global trade forecast downward by more than one percentage point, warning that a slowdown in China and broad market volatility continued to threaten growth. In September, the WTO estimated that global trade would rise by 3.9% this year, but lowered that projection to 2.8%, in an updated forecast. “Trade is still registering positive growth, albeit at a disappointing rate,” WTO director general Robert Azevedo said in a statement. Various factors were continuing to apply downward pressure on global commerce, the Geneva-based body said. The rout on commodities prices has shown few signs of reversing, while the full extent of the slowdown in China -- the world’s top commodities consumer -- remains uncertain. The WTO listed “a sharper-than-expected slowing in China (and) worsening financial market volatility” as factors that could further suppress global trade this year. But, the 2.8% growth forecast could prove to be an underestimate if efforts by the European Central Bank to stimulate eurozone growth are successful, the WTO said
