News Brief Copper gains on lackluster trade, global cues
Agency | Mumbai, Jun 10
Select copper prices gained in an otherwise lackluster non-ferrous metal market here today on buying by stockists amid moderate demand from industrial users. While, tin and nickel slipped due to selling as well as subdued offtake from alloy industries. In overseas markets, the industrial metal copper moved up in listless early trade as the dollar weakened, but expectations of slowing demand in summer capped demand.

kistan for Myanmar and our army is fully capable of responding to any adventurism,” Pakistan Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said. There are several camps inside Pakistan which are used by terror groups for training, recruitment and launching
attacks on India. Meanwhile, Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said, “The government would defend the nation and that if India spoke about teaching Pakistan a lesson, then Pakistan was capable of teaching India a lesson as well.” “If India tried to do so, Pakistan would provide a befitting reply. Pakistan does not want to ruin regional peace,” he added. Sending out a strong message that terror groups based outside the Indian borders are no longer safe, the Indian Army Special Forces early on Tuesday morning launched a surgical strike at two bases of Northeast insurgent
groups inside Myanmar and killed several ultras. Units of Army’s 21 Para Special Forces in collaboration with the Indian Air Force undertook the operation inside Myanmar following the June 4 Manipur ambush in with Northeast terrorists killed 18 soldier of 6 Dogra Regiment. Over 20 insurgents were killed and 11 were seriously injured in the operation. Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) were used in the action that was carried out by the 21 Para. The crackdown on the terrorists took place between 1AM to 4AM on Tuesday and the surgical strike was completed within 30 minutes.

Singh said Lipika has been living in Dwarka separately for last three years and Bharti used to visit her. On her part, Lipika said she has been going through difficult time since 2010. “It would be difficult
for me to summarise all these. It’s going on for a long time. It has been going on since 2010. I want separation, I want to be out from this marriage. I want to live with dignity with my children. It has been a continuous process through which I was going through,” said his wife. Asked to comment, an AAP spokesperson called it a personal issue. Somath Bharti is the AAP MLA from the Malviya Nagar constituency in the capital. He was law minister in Kejriwal’s first government in Delhi which was in power for only 49 days. Bharti’s midnight raid in south Delhi’s Khirki Extension targeting African women raked up a controversy last year.
Cabinet clears Rs6,000 crore interest-free loans to sugar mills
Agency | New Delhi Providing relief to sugarcane farmers, the Union cabinet on Wednesday approved Rs.6,000 crore in interest-free loans to sugar mills that will enable them to settle pending dues to farmers. Sugar mills in India owe over Rs.21,000 crore to farmers. Having procured cane, sugar stocks have remained unsold because of falling prices of raw sugar in domestic and international markets. “This is a pro-farmer decision. All payments will be directly made to the accounts of farmers under the (Pradhan Mantri) Jan
Dhan Yojana,” transport minister Nitin Gadkari said at a briefing. “Sugar prices have fallen due to over production and interest-free loans will allow mills to settle some dues; the rest will be paid through sale of sugar,” he added. However, the Cabinet did not discuss creating a buffer stock for sugar (as demanded by the industry), Gadkari said. The Cabinet discussed the issue of rising prices of pulses, Gadkari said, adding the government is set to import pulses on a large scale to handle the shortage. In another decision, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) allowed three
naptha-based fertilizer companies to continue to manufacture urea till the time they are supplied with gas. The companies are Madras Fertilizers Ltd, Mangalore Chemical and Fertilizers Ltd and Southern Petrochemicals Industries Corporation. “This will ensure supply of 1.5 million tonnes of urea to farmers in south Indian states,” fertilizers minister Ananth Kumar said.
The country is likely to produce 28.5 million tonnes of sugar in the current marketing year ending on Sept. 30, nearly 4.5 million tonnes higher than local requirement. Exports could be just 700,000800,000 tonnes.

Agency | Mumbai, Jun 10
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez says her “Kick” co-star Salman Khan has helped her a lot professionally. Jacqueline, 29, who is reportedly no more a part of the 2014 hit film’s sequel, said she would be fine if she does not get to share screen space again with the superstar. When asked about the sequel, Jacqueline said, “I am not aware about it. I am okay with it if that is the case (not being part of ‘Kick’ sequel).“’Kick’ has been one of the best experiences I have had in my life. Salman has already done a lot for me. If I am not getting to work with Salman in ‘Kick 2’, then some other film.”

Domestic violence complaint against Somnath Bharti Agency | New Delhi
Former Delhi law minister and AAP MLA Somnath Bharti is in the news again - this time in a domestic violence complaint case. Bharti’s wife has levelled domestic violence and mental torture charges against the AAP leader. His wife approached the Delhi Commission for Women and filed a complaint alleging assault and domestic violence. Somnath Bharti was on Wednesday served notices by Delhi Commission for Women. DCW chief Barkha Singh said Bharti has been asked to reply to the notices by June 26. “Me and my children are subject to harassment and torture -mental, physical
and oral - by my husband Somnath Bharti... There is a persistent threat from my husband and his supporters,” Lipika Bharti’s complaint said. Bharti’s wife alleged that she’had been facing domestic violence since 2010. “She approached us this afternoon and lodged a complaint alleging assault and domestic violence by her husband Somnath Bhar-
2 / Dt. 11-06-2015, Thursday Editors’ Picks THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 Big Modi Vs Lalu, Nitish bhai bhai... Their coming together to take on the BJP could mark the emergence of a new polity. With Lalu Prasad offering to consume poison, can the amrit of power be far behind? We shall have to wait for a few months to see if that, indeed, is the case. Politics and arithmetic are not the same. The three parties, the Congress, JD(U) and RJD, together polled over 46 per cent in the last Lok Sabha elections in Bihar. By coming together, they are unlikely to reach that figure when assembly elections take place later this year. Hence, the shaky coalition in Bihar may or may not make an impact. In the present context of Bihar, the coalition of these three players, just as it is necessary for them, is also certain to hit quite a few roadblocks, beginning with the current haggling and game of impatience. And yet, the battle for Bihar is going to be a crucial one, not just for the state, but also for the direction of political equations and competition elsewhere in the country. This, despite the fact that neither the RJD nor the JD(U) has much of a presence elsewhere in the country. In the story of a nearly two-decade-long comradeship and of rivalry spanning an almost equal amount of time, there are uniquely Bihari layers — the rise of the Yadavs and Kurmis as claimants of the OBC platform; the utter neglect of routine governance; Bihar’s continued backwardness on most parameters; the irrepressible power of the upper castes. But the Nitish-Lalu story will be keenly watched also for its resonance outside Bihar. In the mid-’90s, many state-level players realised that a new phase of political equations had begun, and seizing the opportunity, aligned with the BJP — Nitish was only one among them. Of all those state-level players, he was the last to snap ties with the BJP in 2013. Partly, this development can be explained in terms of a federalised game of power: state parties versus the so-called national parties. In most states where such alliances were forged in the Nineties, the BJP was a junior (but all-India) player, initially seeking only a foothold. But in due course, it began to expand its base, bringing it into conflict with the state-level partner. This has happened practically everywhere, including in Maharashtra. Punjab is the only exception. The lesson from that novel experiment of coalition-building was that once the “all-India” party gains a foothold, equations are bound to change. Interestingly, now the Congress may play the same game to bring itself back into the reckoning — in Bihar and UP, it would have no problem in aligning with the stronger state-level players. Whether it can similarly find allies in other states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu or Maharashtra remains to be seen. It also remains to be seen whether such coalitions would be durable or remain contingent. The central lesson, however, is that in the initial stages at least, such coalitions have to be equally beneficial to both the state-level and the national-level players.

He is an actor who’s always ready to experiment whether it’s his films or initiatives on social media. This time, he brings in his own uniqueness to the social media platform by introducing the ‘Randeep Film Festival’ on Facebook and Twitter. He is arguably the first Bollywood actor to start his own film festival where he will share short clips from his movies along with interesting trivia on a weekly basis. This film festival will display around 6-8 movies of Randeep between May to July 2015. Throughout the festival, the actor will relive the journey of each of his films and share his favourite memo-
ries associated with them in the form of movie glimpses, dialogues, posters and fan-made art. Randeep will also interact with his fans through his Facebook and Twitter pages.

Being a C-lister can be fatal: Aarthi Agarwal’s death highlights the result of failure in films
- Kapilkumar M. Hirpara Editor

Aging gracefully means something completely different if you’re in the film industry. Grace, if you’re aware of how the film industry works, is usually inversely proportional to the number of wrinkles on your face and the kilos you rake up on the weighing machine. The Indian film industry is no stranger to hypocrisy. Older female actors are routinely sidelined from glamorous roles, while male actors keep romancing actresses half their age. For example, while Madhuri Dix-
it is selling detergents, toothpastes and judging reality shows, her co-stars Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir are playing larger-than-life heroes in big banner films. Then there’s also the issue of unequal remuneration. Priyanka Chopra had spoken about how the disparity in pay between men and women is just unfair. She also says the change will come once the numbers start crunching, and women are solely responsible for profitable return on big budget films. So now we have Tanu Weds Manu Returns and Piku, the only two films
this year to have crossed the 100 crore mark. Both films have female actors at the forefront, who are arguably the reason behind the popularity of the films. But those films are rare exceptions. On the other end of the Kangana-Deepika spectrum is Aarthi Aggarwal. Firstpost had earlier reported that the Telugu-actress, originally from New Jersey, passed away on Saturday reportedly due a cardiac arrest and respiratory problems. But she also had a liposuction a month before her death, and was under immense pressure financially and mentally because she wasn’t getting any work. She had approached a doctor earlier in Hyderabad for a liposuction surgery and he refused stating she had no fat to be removed. One can only imagine the insecurity and trauma that Aggarwal would have gone through, being a 30-something actress in an industry that is looking for excuses to replace you with a younger face. The fact that Aggarwal was desperate to remove fat - when clearly there wasn’t much of it - shows how exacting the beauty standards of the film industry is.

FSSAI rejected items still sold in Starbucks outlet Agency | New Delhi
Global coffee chain Starbucks, which operates its cafes in India in partnership with Tatas, continues to sell products rejected by central food safety regulator FSSAI after risk assessment. The company on its part said it is “diligently working with FSSAI” to provide information regarding pending applications. The Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had rejected applications submitted by Tata Starbucks for a total of 32 products in April. These rejected products include coffee frappucino, vanilla syrup and ha-
zelnut flavoured syrups, which are still sold at the cafe chain’s outlet in the heart of the Capital. When asked for comments, Tata Starbucks CEO Avani Davda said: “We are diligently working with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to provide the technical information relating to our pending applications that they have requested.” She said the company imported globally standardised product ingredients, with all applicable authorisations and these are identical to the products that are served to customers in over 60 countries where Starbucks operates.

Buttler’s contribution was key, in a record seventh-wicket stand with Adil Rashid, after England had suffered a mid-innings wobble - including the departure of Root. And when asked afterwards whether he models his game on De Villiers’, England’s vice-captain said: “I’m
not sure I’m quite at those guys’ level yet. “AB de Villiers is someone who has been a role model for me for a long period of time - someone who has changed batting, I think, over the past few years and everyone is trying to emulate him. “That’s the role I want to play in English cricket. I want to be that guy who can go out like I did and play those kind of innings and try to do that consistently.” England’s trouncing of the Kiwis was a remarkable reversal in fortune
after their eight-wicket defeat against the subsequent World Cup finalists in their last meeting in Wellington in February. Eoin Morgan’s team have since resolved to play more aggressive cricket, following their embarrassing early exit from last winter’s global tournament. Buttler insists England were off the pace back then not just because their tactics were wrong but also as a result of being collectively out of form and low on confidence.

Former Indian Test cricketer Hemant Kanitkar passes away
Agency | Harare Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has confirmed that the Indian team will tour the country to play three ODIs and two Twenty20s in July. The Indian team will arrive in the Zimbabwean capital on July 7. ZC managing director Alistair Campbell said on Tuesday that the respective boards had already agreed on the schedule for the tour which should be released this week. “I can confirm that it’s now a done deal. India are arriving on July 7 and will leave on the 20th after
playing three ODIs and two T20s,” Campbell told ‘NewsDay Sport’. The former captain added: “The schedule for the matches is almost done and should be released later this week. However, I can confirm that all the India matches will be played in Harare.” India last toured Zimbabwe in July 2013 and comfortably won the five-match ODI series 5-0. India’s visit to Zimbabwe follows the ongoing tour of Bangladesh. Their arrival next month is expected to set into motion a hectic winter sched-
ule for the national cricket side with impending visits by New Zealand, Pakistan and West Indies expected to follow until September. Campbell said New Zealand would arrive a week after India’s departure for three ODIs and a lone T20 before the reciprocal tour by Pakistan after Zimbabwe’s historic visit to the subcontinent nation recently. “We are very pleased that India are coming and the fact that New Zealand are coming just a week after India’s departure,” Campbell said.
he told Firstpost. The only time he looked at somebody with disbelief was when football coach John Burridge (who also spotted Gurpreet Sandhu, the Indian goalkeeper who currently plays in Norway) told him that he ‘saw in Al-Habsi’s face’ that he will play in England one day: “Imagine. Just imagine. I was 16, from Oman, and here he was telling me I would play in England. I took it as a joke. From the next day I started training with him and within two years I was told Big Sam (Al-
lardyce) wanted me at Bolton.” Al-Habsi was working as a fireman at the Seeb International Airport while also playing for Oman’s age-group sides. “Yes it was different working as a fireman. But see it this way — as a fireman you need strength and more importantly concentration for any emergency. That’s what you need as a goalkeeper too — strength and concentration for any emergency any time,” he said. “I am still in touch with my friends at the fire station. I never forget my friends. Never.

Ali Al-Habsi has two distinct marks, close to each other, on the left side of his head. He was wounded while trying to knock down mangoes from a tree with stones. He says he either fell or got hit by a stone during the adventure with his brothers. He didn’t even remember that the marks were there until someone pointed it out. They are the only visible scars of a life which has taken him from a small village in Oman where temperatures could rise to 50 degrees Celsius to Norway - where it was ‘usually minus 16 degrees Celsius’ – and finally to Wigan Athletic, where he won the FA Cup in 2013.

Rajasthan has toppled Gujarat in solar power generation. The home state of the Prime Minister lost the top spot at a time when the Narendra Modi-led central government has embarked on the ambitious target of achieving 100,000MW of solar power by 2022. With a commissioned capacity of 1,047MW, the neighbouring state has now become the largest solar energy producer in the country. Gujarat lost the spot for the first time since solar power generation gained momentum
ago. As per data released by the Union ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE), the capacity of commissioned solar power projects in Rajasthan reached 1,047.1MW till May 29, while in Gujarat it was 1,000 MW. The total solar power generation in the country touched 3,883.51MW. “Apart from solar radiation, the land price and land policy of Rajasthan is better. Under the central government’s solar policy, the developers perceived Rajasthan as a better place to invest.
gy drink and sold it Rs 100 per bottle. Recently, we came to know that it contained a considerable amount of alcohol, which is not permissible,” Gujarat FDCA Commissioner H G Koshia said. “The drink was sold mainly at paan shops. Our teams raided several parts of Saurashtra and Northern Gujarat region, such as Morbi as well as Mehsana, to seize several bottles of the drink. “One can easily smell alcohol in the drink. To verify the contents of the drink, we sent its samples for laboratory
tests,” Koshia said. Since a primary investigation established that the drink contained alcohol, FDCA officials also raided the manufacturing facility of ‘U-Star’ at Gandhidham in Kutch. “It is a small company with a plant in Gandhidham.When we raided the premises, we learnt that the owner had already shut the plant a few days ago and gone underground. We will approach the Home Department and the police to book the culprits under relevant sections of the law,” Koshia said.

The Gujarat government has increased the prices of textbooks for primary schools from 100 to 200 per cent from this academic session. These books are meant for all government schools including municipal school boards where majority of children come from economically-deprived families. The move has sparked off protests by parents. “Compared to last year this time we have had to shell out double the cost
for buying books for our children... not to mention the tuition fee increase,” said an agitated mother, Trusha Patel. For standard one, the price of a set of textbooks has gone up from Rs. 61 last year, to Rs. 158 this year. Standard two students will have to pay Rs. 131 instead of Rs. 61, books for third standard are priced at Rs. 185 compared to Rs. 78 last year. The price for fourth standard books are pegged at Rs. 199 which was Rs. 111 last year, and for fifth
standard, the cost of books have gone up from Rs. 71 last year to Rs. 170 this year. The opposition is crying foul. “On the one hand the quality of content and production of the textbooks is on a downhill and on the other hand they are just interested in increasing the costs. This is not justified for poor students,” fumed state Congress spokesperson, Manish Doshi. But the chief of the state textbook board Nitin Khetani, claims that the hike had become inevitable.
In an effort to prevent lion deaths in rail accidents, the state forest department has decided to fence both sides of the 70km railway tracks connecting Pipavav to Bhamar in Amreli district. Since 2013, at least 12 lion deaths have been recorded. In most of these, the big cats were killed after they were run over by goods trains plying on the broad gauge tracks that connect Surendranagar with Pipavav port. The Lion Census-2015 held recently had revealed that 168 of the 523 lions counted now live outside the Gir sanctuary and had moved to new territories. Hence, the forest department has decided to fence the tracks till the place where
the last footprints of lions had been found. The forest department has issued work order for chainlinked fencing along 28 km of the railway track from Pipavav to Rajula. Work on this project is expected to begin this month. S C Pant, state chief wildlife warden, said the survey for fencing of the railway track connecting Rajula with Bhamar and Zinzka had been completed. “The entire project will be funded by the state government and no financial assistance will be taken from the railways,” he said.
