Star batsman Rohit Sharma was retained despite his indifferent form but all-rounder Stuart Binny was axed as the selectors announced a largely unchanged 15-member Indian Test squad for the three-match home series against New Zealand, here today. Besides Binny, pacer Shardul Thakur was also overlooked from the squad which was truncated to 15 from the 17 that beat West Indies 2-0 last month.

Kanpur. “We have stuck to the combination which has done very well. We were of the opinion that this was the best possible combination for New Zealand,” chief selector Sandeep Patil told reporters after chairing the final meeting of the current selection committee.
Rohit’s form was expected to be a major talking point today given that in the series against West Indies, he mustered only 9 and 41 from two innings in the third Test at Gros Islet, the only time he got a chance to play in the series. Rohit also did not do well in the first innings of

The Cauvery water dispute continued to raise tensions in both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with sporadic incidents of attacks on a hotel, pelting of stones, ruckus at a bank and attacks on vehicles reported in both the States. Section 144 was imposed across Bengaluru as violence intensified. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday slammed the Karnataka government for citing public unrest and turmoil as reasons for seeking a modification of its September 5 order to release 15,000 cusecs from its

Dalits protesting against the Una flogging incident have decided to launch a postcard campaign called ‘Badbu Gujarat Ki’ (stink of Gujarat), in response to the tourism department’s ‘Khushbu Gujarat Ki’ (scent of Gujarat) initiative spearheaded by Amitabh Bachchan.

After chaos at Surat meet, organisers of CM Vijay Rupani’s event tie chairs together Correspondent | Rajkot
Days after protesters belonging to Hardik Patel-led Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) disrupted an event in Surat by throwing plastic chairs, organisers of a function in Jasdan, which was attended by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, Sunday tied chairs for the audience together to prevent repeat of any such incident. The foundation stone laying ceremony of a multi-speciality hospital at Aatkot village in Jasdan taluka — a Patidar-dominated area of Rajkot — was attended by around 25,000 people amid tight security.

they pledged against it following the Una atrocity incident,” Una Dalit Atyachar Ladat Samiti convener Jignesh Mevani said on Sunday. Mevani alleged that Bachchan created a fake image of Gujarat to propagate Modi’s agenda. “Amitabh Bachchan came to Gujarat upon invitation
from then Chief Minister Narendra Modi, and talked only about Gujarat having good things like greenery, scent, progressive culture,” he said. “We have given up disposing carcasses. Hundreds of cows are lying dead and stinking all over the place. Dalits continue to die in gutter, caste division and untouchability have made them suffer,” he rued. “Now that we have given up disposing dead cows, we will invite Bachchan and Modi to come to Gujarat, spend some time and enjoy ‘badbu Gujarat ki’,” Mevani said.
food prices showing a softening trend, prices of pulses and sugar jumped 22 per cent and 24.75 per cent respectively year on year. The drop in inflation has stoked hopes of a rate cut from Reserve Bank in coming months, if softening food prices bring down inflation further, say economists. The
RBI has a March 2017 inflation target of 5 per cent. Economists polled by NDTV Profit had expected consumer inflation at 5.2 per cent in August. The next RBI monetary policy review is on October 4, the first under the helm of Urjit Patel, who took charge on September 4. Meanwhile, in separate data released today, industrial output contracted 2.4 per cent in July, from 2.1 per cent growth in June, mainly dragged down by lower production of capital goods and consumer non-durables. The de-growth in factory output may put further pressure on Dr Patel to cut rates.

On September 8, protesting Patidars had stormed the venue of a programme organised in Surat by the businessmen-led Patidar Abhivadan Samiti (PAS) to felicitate prominent Patidar BJP leaders and party president Amit Shah as
part of the party’s run-up to the state elections next year. Shouting “Hardik, Hardik” and “Jai Sardar, Jai Patidar,” they disrupted proceedings and also threw chairs out of the venue.

Cauvery water row: What is the dispute?
Though the apex court modified the verdict on Monday asking the Siddaramiah government in Karnataka to release 12000 cusecs and not 15000 cusecs, as ordered earlier, the violence continued. Security was tightened across Bengaluru on Monday following violence by pro-Kannada activists over the Cauvery river water controversy. The activists set ablaze many vehicles and attacked govt offices protesting the recent Supreme Court order directing Karnataka government to release 15000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu. Though the apex court modified the verdict on Monday asking the Siddaramiah government in Karnataka to release 12000 cusecs and not 15000 cusecs, as ordered earlier, the violence continued. What is the dispute?: The Cauvery basin covers a large expanse of land including major chunks in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and also smaller areas in Kerala and Puducherry. Initially, the dispute was between Karnataka and TN but later Kerala and Puducherry also entered the fray. The issue dates back to 1892 when an agreement was filed between Madras Presidency and Mysore for arbitration but led to a fresh set of disputes. Later, attempts were renewed to arbitrate between the two states under the supervision of Government of India and the second agreement was signed in 1924. Post-Independence efforts:- As Kerala and Puducherry also laid claim on the share of Cauvery water after India attained Independence, a Fact Finding Committee was set-up in 1970 to figure out the situation on ground. The committee submitted its report in 1972 and further studies were done by expert committee and the states reached an agreement in 1976. However, after a new government came to power in Tamil Nadu, it refused to give a consent to terms of the agreement paving way for further dispute. Later in 1986, Tamil Nadu government appealed the Central government to constitute a tribunal for solving the issue under Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956. However, the tribunal was not set-up until Supreme Court took cognizance of the matter and ordered the Central government to do so in 1990. The Cauvery Waters Tribunal was constituted on June, 2, 1990. After 16 years of hearing and an interim order, the Tribunal announced its final order in 2007 allocating 419 tmc ft water to Tamil Nadu and 270 tmc ft to Karnataka. Kerala was given 30 tmc ft and Puducherry got 7 tmc ft. The Tribunal had come to a conclusion that total availability of water in Cauvery basin stood at 740 tmc ft. However, both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka filed a review petition before the Tribunal. In 2012, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, as chairman of Cauvery River Authority, directed the Karnataka government to release 9,000 cusecs of water daily. The Supreme Court slammed state government as it failed to comply with the order. The government offered an unconditional apology and started the release of water leading to widespread violent protests. However, the issue kept troubling the region as Karnataka stopped the release of water again and Tamil Nadu government led by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa decided to sue the Karnataka government for contempt of court.

Sunny Leone, Priyanka Chopra share a good time together during New York Fashion Week
(H.S.) | New Delhi New York Fashion Week has got its Indian touch with the presence of Bollywood star Sunny Leone and India’s global icon Priyanka Chopra. As Sunny became the first Indian actress to walk the ramp for Indian designer Archana Kochchar, at the fashion event. Quantico star Priyanka Chopra also attended the show. Well, the duo seems to have shared some happy time together in New York City. And this was evident from a post Sunny shared on her
Twitter account. The picture has Sunny and Priyanka posing together as the caption reads, “Such a nice afternoon with @priyankachopra good times in NYC!! LOVE ;) you are such a doll!”. Yes! The industry’s Baby doll finds a doll in PeeCee. Sunny certainly seems to be in awe of Priyanka and her global fame. Earlier, when Priyanka’s Hollywood debut film Baywatch was announced, Sunny was among the first celebs who congratulate her and express excitement of watching
the actress in the film. Sunny had then posted, “Congrats @priyankachopra on ‘Baywatch’, so amazing! Love love love The Rock! I literally still jump off my couch like he would in ‘WWE’ big fan!” Priyanka, who is in New York shooting for Quantico season two, took time off to attend the New York Fashion Week. The Bajirao Mastani actress showed up for American-Thai designer Thakoon Panichgul’s show and from her post it looks like she really had her share of fun. Meanwhile, Priyanka also put up a post on her Instagram letting her fans know whom she was out with during the New York Fashion Week. She wrote, “Hanging with the lovely @tayjschilling and my fav @cristinaehrlich #nycfashionweek”.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil: Karan Johar confirms Shah Rukh Khan cameo in film (H.S.) | New Delhi
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil cast is getting glitzier by the minute. If Ranbir Singh, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma coming together in a Karan Johar film were not good enough already, there was Fawad Khan added into the mix. And now, Karan has dropped another bombshell that Shah Rukh Khan will be making a guest appearance in the film. At the Toronto International Film Festival, Karan Johar confirmed the news. “Shah Rukh and I have an amazing working rapport. I haven’t directed a film with him in the last seven years, but he did a scene for me recently in a film that is going to release in Diwali and
Ahmedabad
after seven years when I directed him, I realised nothing had changed. He knew exactly what I was expecting of him and I knew exactly what he was going to do,” he said at the event. Now that SRK’s cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is confirmed, here is the bizz regarding the role he will probably be playing — that of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s husband. Aishwarya plays a poet in the film and sources
say her husband is likely to die early in the film. This is the character SRK is likely to play. What Ae Dil Hai Mushkil may not have is a cameo by Kajol, Karan’s good friend and lucky charm. Kajol is there in almost all of Karan’s films but this time, stakes are much higher. Ajay Devgn, Kajol’s husband, is also releasing his Shivaay on Diwali as well and both the films will go head-to-head.
player, he has never been his fan as such. Speaking to indianexpress.com, Neeraj said, “I am not a fan of Dhoni. I like AB De Villers and Sachin Tendulkar. But I am not a fan of these players as well. Dhoni also knows that I am not his fan.” Explaining his reasons for not being a fan, Neeraj said, “To put things in
perspective, had I been a fan of Dhoni, I wouldn’t have been able to direct the movie in an unbiased fashion. Because I am not a fan, I could remain objective.” The director who chose Sushant Singh Rajput to play Dhoni was all praise for the actor. “Sushant was always my first choice. He comes from the same place as that of Dhoni. So he understands the dialect well. He is a keen observer of the game of cricket and above all, he is a brilliant actor.” For Neeraj directing a biopic was no different from all the other genres he has successfully tried his hand at till now.
Bigg Boss 10: Salman Khan just revealed this season’s biggest twist
(H.S.) | New Delhi On Bigg Boss 10, Salman Khan wants you to be ready for the bizarre and the strange. And it won’t be celebs who will be giving us weird, but common people like you and me. Salman Khan’s new Bigg Boss 10 promo has answered many of our questions and raised some new ones. We all know that Bigg Boss, the big daddy of all reality shows, will be landing mid-October
with a twist to stagger its huge fanbase. Everything will go topsy-turvy and Bigg Boss, the way we knew it, will cease to exist. And the big shift is the entry of the common people, with their not-socommon foibles, inside the Bigg Boss house. Celebs who have been part of the show all along are known faces. However, regular people will be completely new currency. As the video begins, we see the security guard of
Salman’s building telling him something spicy. His neighbour wants to be a part of Bigg Boss 10 and has even applied. There is just one problem, the man walks in his sleep with his sandal in his hands. Salman, the man who always has the last word, says, “Usne Bigg Boss ka ghar handle nahi kiya to yahi sandal usse padega.” He then gives us the big news, “Vichitra aam public will be coming too. Invite to har baar nahi karunga yaar, aap hi ka to ghar hai yaar.” While we had known all along that common people will be a part of the show but Salman’s reveal showed what to expect: ‘Vichitra’ or strange or bizarre. This seems to be the one criteria by which regular people seems to be chosen.

Manish also Instagrammed a picture with the 35-year-old actress and wrote alongside, “A day with my #favourite and the very #beautiful #Glowy # #kareenakapoorkhan #FriendsForEver #always a Favourite #FunTimes #Happiness #funDay @vogueindia” The snaps show the actress effortlessly boasting her maternity fashion
and proving the fact that pregnancy style can be anything but predictable. Mom-to-be Kareena Kapoor Khan reigned the ramp recently at the grand finale of the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/ Festive 2016, when she walked the ramp for designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Kareena looked lovely in complete Begum of Pataudi mode, dressed in a grey exquisitely embroidered lehenga and blouse.
next morning my scene with him was luckily very simple. I had to lie on the couch sleeping while he spoke to someone behind me. I fidgeted so much, my eyes kept blinking… the easiest shot became the most difficult shot in the film,” she said. What made it even more challenging was the fact that Tapsee had to play the traumatised sexually violated girl without hysteria
and my director Annirudh Roychoudhary were clear that my character would not shed a single tear no matter how much violation and humiliation she suffered. That she would keep it all pent up inside her right till the end. Even In the climactic courtroom scene when the Judge announces his verdict I was not allowed the comfort of tears,” she said. Holding back the emotions, says Tapsee, worked out for the best. “The impact of showing minimal emotions is chilling. We in Indian cinema don’t like to hold back emotions. We like to show all of it coming out in a flow.

Her official Twitter handle shared some glimpses of the photoshoot and wrote alongside, “ Looks like Kareena had a blast shooting for Vogue India with @ManishMalhotra, @Anaita_Adajania and @pompyhans!” Her makeup and hairstylist Pompy Hans too Instagrammed some picture of

Membership in Big Four not of huge interest for Stan Wawrinka
(H.S.) | New York Following Stan Wawrinka’s win at the U.S. Open on Sunday, it may finally be time to officially expand the ‘Big Four’ in men’s tennis to the ‘Big Five’. Since 2005, when Rafa Nadal won his first French Open crown, the Spaniard, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray have formed their own elite club, sweeping all but five of the grand slam titles. The 2009 U.S. Open winner Juan Martin del Potro and 2014 champion Marin Cilic both interrupted the Big Four’s dominance
but only Wawrinka has repeatedly defied them. With his 6-7(1) 6-4 7-5 6-3 victory over Djokovic on Sunday, Wawrinka captured his third major title, matching the haul of long-standing Big Four member Murray. The Swiss is only a Wimbledon title shy of a career slam. Certainly Wawrinka gets Djokovic’s vote for inclusion, having taken two of his three titles at the Serb’s expense. “He deserves to be in the mix, no doubt about it,” said Djokovic, who lost to the Swiss in the 2015 Roland Garros final. “Stan won three grand slams now
and three different ones; (an) Olympic medal. “(He has) been around for so many years, and he plays best in the big matches.” Wawrinka, who won his first major at the 2014 Australian Open, may be the ultimate big-game player in men’s tennis. When he gets to championship match, the Swiss is money in the bank, winning his last 11 finals. While coming out top at a grand slam is never easy, each of Wawrinka’s three titles have come against the world number one on the day. Despite his latest victory and a growing resume, Wawrinka insisted he was not in the same class as the Big Four and would not expect to join the club any time soon. “The Big Four, I’m really far from them,” offered a humble Wawrinka. “Just look at the tournaments they won, how many years they have been there.

SPORTS ROUNDUP India Test squad for New Zealand series announced, Rohit Sharma retains place
(H.S.) | New Delhi India announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match Test series against New Zealand. KL Rahul retained his place after an impressive showing against the West Indies. Rohit Sharma has made into the squad after much speculation surrounding the Mumbai batsman’s fate in the lead up to the
selectors’ meet. Although Sharma’s exploits in limited overs cricket is well documented, Test cricket has always seemed to be an Achilles heel for the batsman. In the recent series against West Indies he got a chance to play in two out of four games, one of which was washed out, and he mustered 9 and 41 in the two innings in the third Test at Gros Islet. Sharma’s Test
career has been limping ever since he made an explosive start in 2013 scoring back to back centuries. But he has captain Virat Kohli’s confidence. With quite a few talented youngsters like Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey and Karun Nair waiting in the wings, the selectors were expected to take a call on Sharma’s participation and have now decided to give him another chance. Although Cheteshwar Pujara was dropped from the playing eleven for the final Test of the West Indies series, he has since answered any doubts that may have been in the selector’s mind with his 256-run-stand for India Blue in the Duleep Trophy final.
It is sad that you end up losing friends Rio Olympics: Only 1.66% of government’s as a selector, says Sandeep Patil funds scheme translated into medals
(H.S.) | Mumbai
Agency | New Delhi Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are now official, and for Cupertino these phones come at a time when their star product is on the wane. Apple’s Q3 results saw a drop in iPhone sales (down to 40.3 million compared to 51 million sold in Q2) and for the first time in 13 years, the company’s revenue dipped. For Apple, the challenge has been in getting people to upgrade from their older iPhones to the 6s series, which was the latest until recently. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook admitted in his comments the upgrade cycle for 6s was not as strong as the one they had seen when iPhone 6 launched. iPhone 6 had represented a significant upgrade for the company, with Apple introducing the bigger 4.7inch and 5.5-inch screens over its 4-inch displays. In his Q3 call, Cook said: “Maybe that was a predictable thing, although we didn’t predict it in the beginning. It took us a little time to realise that.”

“The only sad thing about being a selector is that you end up losing some of your friends,” said Sandeep Patil after the selection panel, headed by him, picked the last Indian cricket squad of its tenure . Patil, who was appointed the chairman of selectors following the sacking of Mohinder Amarnath in September 2012, said he ends his term as a happy man. “We have taken some bold and tough decisions looking at the future of Indian cricket. We are very happy at the end of our term that the team is doing well in all three formats and I wish the next committee all the best. “Also, a big thank you to the BCCI for providing the opportunity. The Board has taken some great decisions during my time. We are happy with the
(H.S.) | New Delhi
roadmap the BCCI has drawn with Rahul Dravid taking over as coach of the juniors and Anil Kumble the seniors,” said Patil at the press conference after picking a 15-member India squad for the upcoming threeTest home series against New Zealand. Patil also said that he was very happy to state that no outside interference was there in selection matters during his tenure. “In our four-year term not a single BCCI official of any zone approached the selection committee for any recommendation,” he remarked. “We
also leave at a time when there is big pool of players to choose from, in all formats,” he said. Patil picked up the squad for home series in the presence of fellow selectors Saba Karim and Vikram Rathour, while Gagan Khoda and MSK Prasad joined in from Australia via video conference. The former India batsman further said the team would do well against the touring New Zealand side. “We have always done well at home and I am sure we will do well against New Zealand. Hope we also do well outside India,” he said.
now apply for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) ‘C’ licence programme in three months, were nominated from the eight Indian Super League (ISL) clubs and a few non-government organisations. The AIFF and ISL had collaborated with Premier Skills for the week-long training programme that aimed at training coaches at the
grassroots level. The session in Mumbai was led by Premier Skills head coach Jeremy Weeks, who was supported by West Ham United’s women and girls’ development officer Katie Bottom and Robert Perrett, development manager at Crystal Palace. The trio were also helped by three Premier Skills coach educators — Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar, Shekhar Kerkar and Shafeeq Hasan — who are part of the programme since 2013. Over the last week, Premier Skills conducted a number of theory and practical workshops in which finer details of the game was explained to the batch of coaches.
Of the Rs 36.85 crore spent by the government on the 117 Rio-bound Olympians, under the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) launched last year, only 1.66 per cent went into preparations of the two eventual medal winners — P V Sindhu and Sakshi Malik, according to the latest Sports Ministry data. The data, compiled on August 22 and accessed by agency, shows that some of the Olympians, for whom a sizeable chunk of the money was spent, turned out to be among the prominent under-performers. For instance, Rs 2.94 crore was spent on the women’s relay squad, which ended up finishing seventh in their heats and failing to qualify for the semi-finals. Nearly half of the amount was spent
on shooting, which has been India’s most successful Olympic sport in the last three Games but failed to make a mark this time. And overall, athletics — where India did not have any realistic chance of a medal — got the second-highest funding, with the ministry releasing Rs 7.80 crore to 30 out of the 36 athletes who qualified for the Games. TOPS, the flagship top-up funding scheme launched in March 2015, aims to meet the direct requirements of Olympians, which includes fees of personal
coaches and other support staff, cost of travel and stay during competition and training stints, as well as purchase of equipment. It is over and above the central budget, which previous sports minister Sarbananda Sonowal told Lok Sabha on March 15, was Rs 750 crore (roughly $111 million) from the beginning of 2012 to December 31, 2015. Apart from the expenditure on athletes, that figure also includes the administrative costs incurred by 67 sports federations eligible for government grants.

It appears it is more due to accident than design. As the monsoon was delayed in the north and east India with the region not receiving enough
sunshine, the challenging conditions are testing curators and are waiting for teams also. “Test matches in September and Novembers are going to be a challenge for everybody,” Daljeet Singh, chairman of BCCI’s ground and pitches committee told HT. “You are not going to get the kind of pitches you have in mind. If you want to play at home and are looking for home advantage, it’s very difficult to expect that in September. It is challenging for everyone.” The 15-member New Zealand team arrive in India on Tuesday and play a three-day warm up tie in New Delhi from Friday.

Agency | London Children aged between four and 10 are consuming more than double the recommended level of sugar, according to a new study by researchers including one of Indian origin. Fewer than one in 10 teenagers and only around one in three adults achieve the recommended fruit and vegetable intake, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey by Public Health England found. The survey also showed that people consume too much sugar and fat, with men eating too much processed and red meat. “The results of this survey are extremely worrying. It shows that sugar makes up about three times the recommended daily calorie intake,” said Neena Modi, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. “At a time when one in three ten year old children are overweight or obese, and one in three five-year olds has tooth decay, the health risks posed by failure to tackle sugar intake are serious,” said Modi.

Stating that India’s diversity was a matter of “celebration” and not a “problem” as outsiders consider it to be, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday urged the people to celebrate the festivals of all the religions to “strengthen” the unity of the country. He said people with “petty minds” divide the world on the basis of colour, language etc. and hence, Indians should strive to spread the message of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family).

Railways plans to invest this additional revenue to provide better passenger amenities. Mohd Jamshed also rubbished the notion that the move is ‘anti-consumer’, stating that only a small percentage of people will be affected. “This is not surge pricing, which is about charging during the peak times, this is a flexible fare system. It is internationally followed. In Europe, rail fares are very flexible; they change on
an hourly basis,” he said by way of explanation. Most importantly, Indian Railways put out a series of charts, comparing the travel cost, short-distance and long-distance, via air and trains. “Earlier, Railways was compared with roadways. We are now being compared with aviation sector; that in itself is a big achievement for us. But, train fares are not expensive. Let us not look at one or two cases. Consider the average, and once you do that, air travel cost is on an average Rs 7,000, which is way higher than air travel,” Jamshed said. On the Delhi-Mumbai sector, the Rajdhani fare is between Rs 2870 and Rs 4104 on II AC, while airfare is ranging between Rs 2813 and Rs 13,746 for September 12, the presentation compared.

Anandiben, as there was no official communication about it to the party. Anandiben was in Delhi yesterday to inaugurate a crafts exhibition. It was a private visit,” he said.
