Suspected Islamists carried out another deadly attack in Bangladesh Thursday at the country’s biggest prayer service for the start of Eid, days after a mass murder of hostages in the capital Dhaka. Authorities said four people, including two policemen, had been killed after several explosions and gunfire near a prayer ground in Kishoreganj district as at least 250,000 people joined a post-Ramadan gathering. “Two policemen, an attacker and a woman who was shot during the gunfight were killed,” national police spokesman AKM Shahidur Rahman said. “Nine policemen were also in-
jured. They are in a critical condition and have been shifted to a military hospital in Dhaka.” However, Reuters said two attackers were killed, quoting district council administrator Zillur Rahman. Another senior officer said that a group of at least three attackers had hurled hand bombs at police manning a checkpoint just outside the main prayer ground, which is around 150 kilometers (90 miles) north
of Dhaka. Nearly 1,000 police were on duty in Kishoreganj at the time of the attack. “We responded with gunfire. A gunfight ensued and they fired back and threw more hand bombs,” Tofazzal Hosain, the northern district’s deputy police chief, said. Two attackers were arrested, including one who had been shot and injured, while a pistol and machete were recovered from the scene. The gathering in
Modi govt buried under carpet massive telecom scam of Rs 45,000 crore: Congress Agency | New Delhi
The Congress on Thursday accused the Modi government of burying “under the carpet a massive telecom scam of Rs 45,000 crore.” At a press conference in the national capital, Congress leader RS Surjewala said the scam aims to help Modi Govt’s industrialists friends. “A massive telecom scam of Rs 45,000 crore is being buried under the carpet by the Modi Govt, who talk of transparency,” said Surjewala. “PM Modi who used to say ‘na khaoon-
ga, na khaane doonga’ yet again proved to be another false promise. This telecom scam is worth Rs. 45,000 crore and aims to help Modi Govt’s industrialists friends,” said the Congress leader. He also added that the gov-
ernment has helped six telecom companies by not levying them with a fine. “Six telecom companies have been helped by Modi Govt by not levying them with a fine but trying to save them,” said Surjewala.
Kishoreganj is known as the Sholakia Eid prayers and officials put the number of people at the service on Thursday at between 250-300,000. It is by far the biggest such congregation in Bangladesh, a mainly Muslim country that is home to around 160 million people. While there was no immediate

Bangladesh has been reeling from a growing wave of attacks since the turn of the year, many of which have been claimed by the self-styled Islamic State group or an offshoot of the Al-Qaeda network. However Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has consistently denied international jihadist networks have gained a foothold and have said the weekend attack in Dhaka was carried out by a local Islamist group.

The Budget for 2016-17 announced a four-month compliance window, allowing domestic black money holders to declare their unaccounted wealth, pay a tax and penalty of 45 per cent and escape prosecution and harsher punishment. The window under the Income Declaration Scheme (IDS) 2016 opened on June 1 and will close on September 30. Tax and penalty on income declared, as per the original scheme, is to be paid by November.

Sultan is a hit: Sound and fury over Salman comment signifies nothing It has just been a day but Salman Khan is back to setting the box office on fire . His Eid blockbuster Sultan has set cash registers ringing across India. Thousand-seater multiplexes are packed, distributors are beaming and trade analysts are feverishly speculating on how many records the film will break. Chants of Bhai, Bhai are back outside cinemas. It is difficult to imagine that same time last week, the popular actor was under siege with waves of condemnation attempting to bury his larger-than-life image in the wake of controversial comments comparing his post-shoot fatigue to a rape victim. Khan’s comments were dissected threadbare at 9pm television debates, anchors cried themselves hoarse invoking women’s rights and safety and the National Commission for Women summoned the actor. Social media was flooded with comments of people disgusted with Khan, vowing to never watch his films. Think pieces on his toxic masculinity gathered thousands of ‘likes’ and commentators speculated on the end of his wild popular and often inexplicable popularity. But like any other episode of Facebook-fuelled outrage, many people seem to have lost their fire for women’s rights and are back at the theatres cheering the same man they professed to hate a week ago. The film earned Rs 36.54 crore on its first day. Even at skyrocketing ticket prices, this means thousands of people watched Sultan notwithstanding the hand-wringing around rape culture a week ago. The apparent collective memory loss suggests two things. One, our responses to issues of social justice are often performances for the galleries instead of genuine introspection. In Salman’s case, thousands of us rushed to condemn him on social media but didn’t question the presence of the same patriarchy in our lives--we didn’t think of when we make casual sexist jokes, when we inadvertently make workplaces unsafe for women, when we reduce women to their looks in engineering and scientific institutes and when we make it impossible for women to step out and enjoy public spaces. We bandied the word ‘rape culture’ about and berated Salman for furthering it, but didn’t think about the WhatsApp forwards in our phones that are as offensive as Salman’s comments. We didn’t wonder if watching movies with the same violent language and actions will bolster a culture where sexual violence is seen as a legitimate tool to silence women. But the second and more important take-away is that it never helps to put all the blame on individuals for prejudices in our society’s structures. Salman Khan was a prominent target and it is important to condemn his words but such critique will do little to smash patriarchy if the words don’t shape our actions. So the next time we condemn a celebrity bad boy, maybe we will spare some time to question the insidious everyday misogyny and patriarchy that so many of us benefit from. Maybe we will think about making our public spaces safer, calling out colleagues who leer or are sexist or complain against teachers who abuse or harass students. But more importantly, maybe we will start thinking of patriarchy as a structure that oppresses a vast section of women and non-binary, LGBT folks instead of individual acts.

Why `Dabanng 3` will not have Sonakshi?
‘Thappad se darr nahi lagta Sahab, Pyaar se lagta hai’ – the iconic dialogue from Dabangg garnered stardom for Sonakshi Sinha. Salman was the man backing her as she rose to become the famed lady of Bollywood. H.S. Agency | Mumbai Salman Khan re-established his stature as the superstar with Dabangg in 2012. And Sonakshi Sinha, who played his love interest, was part of the two installments we have seen so far. Reports now claim that Dabanng 3 may not feature Sonakshi at all. The actor has been dropped from the movie over an alleged friction with Salman Khan, SpotBoye reported on Thursday. As per the report, it all started when Sonakshi turned down Arbaaz Khan’s production Dolly Ki Doli which was offered to her by the Kick actor. Reportedly, the two also had a showdown at Salman’s sister Arpita’s wedding in November 2014, and since then, they are not on talking terms. “Salman is not keen on working with Sonakshi. So, the producers are looking out for another actress. Nobody has been finalised yet,” the entertainment website quoted a source as saying. Sonakshi made her Bollywood debut with Dabangg, which not only earned her public recognition but also a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.

also has a strong message in it. I want people to see it and take that message back home.” The film’s first look was revealed on Thursday, which shows Shroff wearing a turban and a mask. Beneath him, we see the expanse of a city. Asked why Indians cannot look beyond Shaktimaan or Krissh when it comes to Indian superheroes, D’Souza said, “I want to create that.

Nine persons were arrested in ‘Great Grand Masti’ movie leak the after Crime branch conducted raids. Six cases were registered against them under the Copyright Act. The Riteish Deshmukh-Aftab Shivdasani-Vivek Oberoi starrer was supposed to hit screens on July 22, almost 17 days from now. But like Udta Pun-
jab, the prints of the film were leaked online ahead of its release. The complete film, at 2 hours 14 minutes, has been leaked online and the prints can be found on many piracy sites from Monday. Previously, Shahid Kapoor’s Udta Punjab also faced a similar fate. Less than a month after Udta Punjab’s leak this phenomenon struck Bollywood again. This time the damages are far greater. The
prints of Udta Punjab leaked two days before it hit screens whereas for Great Grand Masti the prints are out almost three weeks ahead of its release and it would definitely prove detrimental to the film. But now, following the leak, the team has decided to release the sex comedy ahead of time and will not hit theatres on July 15, one week before its original date.

MS Dhoni’s 224 vs Australia: The day Australia were smashed to pulp
H.S. Agency| New Delhi
Agency | New Delhi Ringing Bells, the Noida-based firm that ran into controversy after announcing a Rs 251 phone five months back, today claimed it will start shipping the cheapest smartphone ever, from tomorrow. In February, the company announced the Freedom 251 phone which saw a mad rush of over 70 million people jostling to register but when the prototype was presented to media it turned out to be produced by another manufacturer with its logo covered. This led to protests from buyers and consequent inquiries by police and tax officials, forcing the company to stop sale of the product and offer refunds to those who had booked the phone. The Freedom 251 prototype touts a quad-core processor, a 4-inch screen and front and back cameras, priced at an astonishingly low rate of Rs 251. Ringing Bells Director Mohit Goel, who had last week stated that his company will soon start shipping 200,000 smartphones to buyers picked by lottery, today said deliveries will start as early as tomorrow
Shock Wave Therapy May Quickly Repair Injured Muscles: Study
February 24, 2013, a historic day when swaggering MS Dhoni reduced the mighty Australians to nothingness, as he plundered 224 runs and took India out of the woods. Before this Test, in a span of 2 years, a whitewash in England and Australia despite boasting of an experienced line-up had put Captain Cool’s captaincy on the line. Gradually, he lost his Midas touch after a 1-2 drubbing, on home soil, against England. But isn’t it always dark just before the dawn? Kaustubh S. Mayekar takes us down memory lane and relives Dhoni’s best knock in the longest format. Australia won the toss, and unhesitatingly chose to bat first on a belter of a track. Captain Michael Clarke’s 130 put them in a commanding position,
but were eventually skittled out for 380, courtesy Ravichandran Ashwin’s stunning seven-for. Against the might of the famed Indian batting order, 380 was certainly not enough. However, the young James Pattinson knocked over the top three batsmen, comprising Virender Sehwag, Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara, and reduced India to 105 for 3.

Agency | London Acoustic shock waves could speed up a muscle’s healing process, and help injured athletes return to training and competitions more quickly than with traditional treatments, a new study in rats suggests. Applying low-frequency shock waves in a therapy called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is already a promising technique for injuries like ligament and tendon damage. “To our knowledge, there are no experiments exploring the benefits of ESWT in muscle damage, one of the most common causes of injury in competitive sports,” said Angela Zissler, from the University of Salzburg in Austria. “By accelerating the muscle healing process, ESWT could get athletes back in the game faster after injury,” Zissler said. ESWT works by mechanically stimulating the tissue, which recruits stem cells to kick-start repairs. ”The detailed cellular and molecular processes activated by ESWT have been unclear,” said Zissler.

This is always a plus, when you know you have the game,” said Williams, who owns seven Grand Slam titles, including five at the All England Club, but none since 2008. “So you just have to keep working until things fall into place.”

In Gyarah Murti, the characters, except Gandhi, depict common Indians belonging to different religions, castes and economic background. A brainchild of the Godhra Municipality, the statue in the Gujarat town has not been inaugurated yet. The sculpture was made by Kolkata-based artists who worked on it for over a month, and finished it in June-end.
Do clean public statues daily: new Municipal Commissioner of Vadodara
H.S. Agency | Vadodara
New Municipal Commissioner of Vadodara Mr. Rao has directed Vadodara Municipal Corporation(VMC) staff to clean statues at public place across the city on daily basis. So far the statues are cleaned only when some major event of festival is closer. Vadodara is perhaps the richest city in terms of quality and number of public statues and sculptures. That’s due to Gaekwads who always encouraged such activity and also due to MS University’s related departments that
have offered some of best artists. New Commissioner Rao is aggressive when it comes to implementation of Swachch Bharat Abhiyan. He recently had launched quick response teams for cleaning drive. Citizens can give a phone
call when they spot garbage, and have cleaning teams at their place in two hours time. Rao was district collector when Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had contested Vadodara Lok Sabha seat in year 2014.

Sample Registration Survey (SRS) data, recently released by the Census of India, have shown Gujarat in poor light with regard to health facilities, especially in the state’s rural areas. The data show that as many as 12 major states of India out of 20 have a higher proportion of primary health centres (PHCs) than Gujarat in rural areas. Gujarat’s just 19.5 per cent of “sample rural units” are found to have (PHCs), as against the national average of 29.7 per cent. Kerala tops the list with 67.9 per cent of rural areas having PHCs, followed by Telangana 62.0 per cent, Haryana 49.3 per cent, Andhra
Pradesh 46.6 per cent, and Tamil Nadu 45.5 per cent. Even Bihar (22 per cent), Rajasthan (31.4 per cent) and Assam (41.1 per cent) have a higher proportion of PHCs than Gujarat. PHCs are essentially single-physician clinics, usually with facilities for minor sur-
geries. They are part of the government-funded public health system in India and are the most basic units of this system. Presently there are 23,109 PHCs in India. Each PHC has five or six sub-centres, staffed by health workers for outreach services such as
immunization, basic curative care services, and maternal and child health services and preventive services. Gujarat’s 41.1 per cent rural areas are covered with sub-centres, but this is again lower than the all-India average of 47.8 per cent. As for Community Health Centres (CHCs), which constitute the secondary level of health care designed to provide referral as well as specialist health care to the rural population, Gujarat’s just about 8.7 per cent of rural areas have them, as against the national average of 13.4 per cent.
