Around 50 Congress MLAs were today suspended from the state Assembly and nearly 400 of its workers detained even as the party stepped up its offensive against the BJP government in Gujarat over “atrocities on Dalits”, including the Una flogging incident. While the Assembly witnessed ruckus over the issue, thousands of party workers took out a ‘Janakrosh rally’ against the “oppressive” government. Nearly 400 of them, including senior leaders Shankersinh Vaghela, Bharatsinh So-

lanki, Shaktisinh Gohil, and Rajya Sabha MP Madhusudan Mistry were detained. They were and later let off. Around 50 Congress MLAs were evicted and suspended for a day from the Assembly after they staged a demonstration and disrupted the proceedings
over the Una Dalit thrashing incident of July 11. During a discussion on the issue, Congress members rushed to the well of the House displaying placards dubbing the government as “anti-Dalit” and threw bangles towards ministers. At least 20 of the Opposition
members wore body suit banners and kept up their protest, despite repeated warnings by Speak-
under house arrest at his temporary residence in Udaipur. The Rajasthan government, DGP and Inspector General of Police, Udaipur, have been named respondents in the petition. “Police officials wrongly and deliberately with malafide intention misinterpreted the conditions imposed upon the petitioner in the judgment dated 8.7.2016 by
the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court,” the petition says. “The said police officers told him that he will be put under ‘house arrest’ and threatened him not to go outside the circumscribing limits of his temporary residence otherwise he would have to face the dire consequences,” it adds. Hardik has been living at a Congress leader’s house at Srinath Nagar locality of Udaipur, after being released on bail by the Gujarat High Court last month. On July 20, the Udaipur IG summoned him and ordered him not to leave his temporary residence without obtaining prior permission from the Gujarat High Court.
Minister Narendra Modi, Nitish Kumar said he feels like “crying” over the condition of the River Ganga, which has affected 22 lakh people in Bihar, and killed 22 in the last three days. The Chief Minister of Bihar said that his state has received 14% less rain than is standard for the monsoon; the devastation, he said, is man-made. Bihar is taking a beating partly because of the water pouring into it from upstream states like Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh as also Nepal. More than half of its 39 districts are flooded this year. For the first time, areas like Bhojpur, Vaishali, and Patna

continued, the Speaker ordered marshals to evict the Congress MLAs from the House and named and suspended them for a day. Subsequently, the Congress MLAs were forcibly taken out of the House. The Speaker said the Opposition had come to the House with a pre-planned strategy as more than their concern for Dalits they were trying to garner political mileage out of the issue. Speaker did not
suspend Opposition leader Shankersinh Vaghela and senior legislator Mohansinh Rathwa as they remained seated during the ruckus, but later they too walked out protesting the action against their party colleagues. Later, nearly 400 Congress supporters, along with senior leaders and MLAs, were detained as they took out a march towards the Assembly as part of the party’s ‘Janakrosh rally’.
told the PM. “We need to re-evaluate the need of the barrage.” The Chief Minister and his team of experts say the Farraka Barrage has led to silt or sediment piling up all the way roughly 400 km to Patna, forcing the river bed much higher, making it much easier for the water to spill over? In the natural course of the
river, if the barrage were removed, the silt would flow into the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh, which is also a stake holder in the barrage, built in 1975 to Kolkata port on the River Hoogly. The barrage diverts water from the Ganga to the Hoogly, facilitating the removal of sediment naturally, which means the port does not have to be dredged. The Prime Minister has committed to urgently sending a team of experts to handle desilting in and around Patna.

The overwhelming problem, for this round of flooding the Chief Minister pointed out to the PM, is the Farraka barrage or dam, which is located in Bengal. “The main reason for the floods in (the) Ganga is the excessive deposit of silt in the river due to the construction of the Farakka barrage,” Mr Kumar

Why politicians love Dahi Handis on Janmasthami in Mumbai..?
Both Senas in Maharashtra — Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena and the Uddhav-led Shiv Sena — have declared that the coming Janmashtami festival on Thursday will be celebrated in Mumbai with the usual raucous crowds and trucks ferrying men who will attempt to form taller and taller human pyramids to smash the apocryphal pot of curd. Except that there is no curd. In fact for many years now, contesting teams forming human pyramids do not really smash the pot strung up on high by organising mandals. The kid who clambers up a dozen human backs to scale new heights offers only “salaami”, a salute, before the crush of bodies standing atop one another’s shoulders disintegrates. But that is beside the point. For now, it appears that the Sena, which rules the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and is a coalition partner in the ruling alliance at the state level with the BJP, will thumb its nose at a recent Supreme Court order which upheld a two-year-old Bombay High Court order disallowing pyramids taller than 20 feet and prohibiting those younger than 18 years of age from participating. The Sena mouthpiece Saamna responded to the order saying it was too close to a “Lakshman Rekha”. “Ganeshotsav, Dahi Handi and Navratra festival are all parts of our beliefs. Courts which are now governing us should not cross the Lakshman Rekha at least on these issues,” an editorial in Saamna said, going on to claim that there is “anger” among people because of such court diktats. The Sena was actually responding a day late. The previous day, MNS chief Raj Thackeray complained that only Hindu festivals seem to get the attention of the courts. “Why are similar restrictions not placed on the Moharram procession,” asked MNS chief Raj Thackeray at a press conference. The all-important Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the country’s most powerful municipality with annual budget estimates of over Rs 37,000 crore, goes to polls in less than six months. So some rabble-rousing is only to be expected. But even without the looming presence of elections, the festive season launched by Krishna Janmashtami is annually a mega outreach programme for political parties. For local leaders, organising a Dahi Handi or supporting/sponsoring the ‘Govinda Pathaks’ is a win-win situation: with several thousand people gathering, and local leaders offering mind-boggling cash prizes, it’s an occasion to scout for, locate and test the abilities of party foot-soldiers. It’s also an occasion to meet and greet thousands of prospective voters amid the sugary and cheerful festive mood when they’re not whining about a broken sewer or overflowing nullah. Numerically speaking, the Dahi Handi celebrations are not a patch on the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in the financial capital, which follow soon after. There are an estimated 3,000 Dahi Handi organisers in Mumbai, 800 of them serious players including the 400 or so organised by politicians. Last year, a little less than 100 organisers offered prize money of over Rs 50,000. A slightly smaller number offered more than Rs 1 lakh. For the visibility gained, the investment of Rs 3 lakh to Rs 10 lakh is a trifle. In fact the political gains to be made, along with the commercial interests, are the chief reason for the frenzied growth in size and scale of such annual festivities.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“If wanting better relations with Pakistan is sedition, then the first case should be lodged against the Prime Minister who made an impromptu stopover for festivities with the Pakistan premier,” - Congress party’s chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala told that “The entire country wants a better relationship between India and Pakistan. Certain elements in BJP and RSS are unnecessarily trying to gain cheap publicity by polluting….”
Priyanka Chopra, Jodie Foster recreate Britney Ae Dil Hai Mushkil: With Diwali release Spears’ Toxic and it will make you go lol around the corner, where are the promotions? (H.S.) | New Delhi
(H.S.) | New Delhi
Karan Johar announced that the teaser for his upcoming film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will be released at the end of this month. The announcement is an important one — Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is expected to release on 28 October; it is this year’s big Diwali release, and is going head to head with Ajay Devgn’s long-awaited Shivaay, at the box office. The Shivaay team released their first look and posters in May this year. By the first week of August, their trailer had already been unveiled, to generally rave reviews. In contrast, little promotional material has been released around Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Apart from that one image, there have been few updates about the film. Most of the news around the film has centered around the relative lengths of its actors’ roles: Does Shah Rukh Khan
Is there anything that Priyanka Chopra — the saviour of America (Quantico), the destroyer of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson (Baywatch) and Bollywood’s talent extraordinaire — can’t do? The woman slays at everything, almost everything. And now, she has owned Britney Spears’ Toxic too. Jodie Foster and our very own PeeCee came together for a hilarious reinterpretation of the Britney Spears’ hit. Jodie hoped that they make Britney proud with their video. They did much better. For a new episode of ‘Lyrical Improv with Lynn Hirschberg,’ via W Magazine, Priyanka and Jodie performed Toxic in two very different ways. While Jodie was more reading than singing, Pri-
have a special appearance or an ‘extended cameo’? Does Fawad Khan have an extended cameo or a full-fledged role? Stories about what the film is all about have been somewhat conflicted as well. The popular understanding is that this Karan Johar film is a remake of the Yash Chopra-produced, Ramesh Talwar-directed Doosra Aadmi. Doosra Aadmi followed the love triangle between Nisha (an accomplished advertising professional who is deeply affected by the death of her fiance),
Karan (the owner of an ad agency who offers Nisha a job, and has a more than passing resemblance to her dead finace) and Timsy (Karan’s wife). The roles were played by Rakhee, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, respectively. Reports about Ae Dil Hai Mushkil have pegged the cast into these roles: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan playing Rakhee’s part, Ranbir Kapoor reviving his father’s role as Karan, and Anushka Sharma’s Alizeh being the Timsy in this triangle.
Ali Khan, and has also said that she won’t camouflage her pregnancy on screen for any role. The mom-to-be said that her pregnancy does not affect her hectic work schedule or her career. “Well, I will definitely go on with my normal life. I am a working woman and there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. I love my job and
I’m passionate about my work. I have wanted to become an actress ever since I was in my mother’s womb. So I will continue acting all my life until I am 80,” Kareena said on Monday. The actress will begin shooting for Shashanka Ghosh’s Veere Di Wedding in October. The film also stars Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania. Veere Di Wedding is a romantic comedy about four women who embark on a trip from Delhi to Europe. Meanwhile, there have been reports about Kareena being a part of Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 4, but not as an actress in the film, but for a song cameo. Let’s just say we are loving this version of Kareena Kapoor.

yanka was doing her Kaa reinterpretation of the song. By Kaa, we mean the same seductive, hypnotic quality she brought to the giant snake in The Jungle Book, well, she did it again. So she sings lyrics like, “I’m addicted to you / Don’t you know that you’re toxic” while Jodie, in all seriousness, seems to be telling us, “You are dangerous / I am loving it.” When we are done being hypnotised, it is kind of hilarious, laugh out loud hilarious. Priyanka shared the video on Ins-
tagram and wrote, “Reinventing #Toxic the #FosterChopra way! So much fun! #JodieFoster…I hope we make @britneyspears proud! #lyricalimprov @wmag.” Britney came out with the song in 2003 and ever since then, Toxic has been watched more than 210,281,000 times on YouTube. The Princess of Pop will release her ninth studio album, Glory, on August 26. Till then, we will just be watching Priyanka/ Jodie’s version of Toxic. Yeah, still laughing.
it is fun, flirty and sexy. And for once, Vaani is completely stealing the thunder of Bollywood’s Mr Energetic Ranveer Singh. Befikre’s official handle tweeted the picture, “She’s as #Befikre as it gets & we love her for it! #HappyBirthdayVaani! @Vaaniofficial.” Befikre is supposed to be a rom-com, in the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset style and Ranveer Singh had mentioned earlier, “I’m happy that I’m collaborating with Adi sir
on his freshest story and endeavour. Whatever you expect normally out of an Aditya Chopra film, this is unlike anything that he’s made before.” Filmmaker Aditya Chopra, who is returning to direction after eight years, said about Befikre earlier, “It is different from any of the films I have directed so far. Till now, all the films I have directed or written have been intense, dramatic and emotional. This one is just a light-hearted romance, nothing more.” Ranveer recreated a Befikre pose while during his vacation in Switzerland. The man was seen standing in front of Alps as beauties were seen throwing their undergarments in the air. He captioned that one, “Befikre in Switzerland.”
next.” While a couple of days back, Ranveer was seen at Bhansali’s office, the actor is not yet ready to divulge any information regarding his role in Padmavati. Speaking to Indian Express.com, Ranveer said, “Right now I am not in a position to comment on my upcoming films. But as soon as there is some relevant information regarding my
upcoming slate of films, I will announce it.” Padmavati is a period drama that is baad on the life and times of Sultan Allauddin Khilji and his obsession for Rani Padmavati. While Ranveer and Deepika will reportedly essay the titular roles, it is speculated that Shahid Kapoor will be seen playing Deepika’s onscreen husband in the film.

It was one of the dreamiest filmy concerts hands down. And giving us a perfect dose of both travel and friendship goals, were our Bollywood heartthrobs — Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur. They not just left the audience in awe with their scintillating acts, but they even brought curtains down to the glittering tour in a stylish manner. Well, that’s what the latest pictures suggest! So when the actors went on the Dream Team Tour, stakes
were quite high. After a week of destinations hopping across the US and performing in front of a record-breaking number of fans, these young guns ended the tour on a highly successful note in New Jersey on Monday. Filmmaker Karan Johar and rapper Badshah also travelled with the team.
Karan shared loads of pictures from the various acts too. The gang has been upbeat about the concerts and kept their fans updated through their social media handles. From behind-the-scenes snaps to on flight gigs, tiring rehearsals, shopping sprees and super cute selfies, they did it all.
(H.S.) | New Delhi If you have been following Ranveer Singh and his upcoming film Befikre, you must have learnt one thing — it has a lot of kisses. Every poster of the film that released in the recent past had Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor kissing. But we guess, finally, Befikre and its posters have run out of kisses. On lead actress Vaani Kapoor’s birthday, we were treated to yet another look of Befikre, and
Ranveer Singh dodges question on Padmavati, compliments Sanjay Leela Bhansali on his smile (H.S.) | Mumbai
Ranveer Singh is careful not to spill any beans about his upcoming film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, titled Padmavati. At an event on Monday where Ranveer was seen endorsing a toothpaste brand, we asked the actor about his relationship with mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali. There have been rumours of rift between the two and some even said that Ranveer was no longer doing the film. However putting to rest all such speculations, Ranveer told us, “I think Sanjay sir has a beauty smile. I will gift him a pack of this toothpaste when I meet him

prove in a few areas and we have done that. For me, the biggest positive is Wriddhiman Saha getting runs in the lower order, plus R Ashwin coming good at no.6,” Kohli said. Both Saha and Ashwin had scored a century each in the third Test to help India recover from the top-order collapse in the first innings. “I hope we can keep on improving this aspect of our game because there are positions, which matter a lot in Test cricket. Whenever teams have done
consistently well in Test cricket, their lower order has always contributed. So, those were the areas for us to solidify,” Kohli said. Only 22 overs were bowled in the rain-affected Test, but India’s team selection was once again a surprise. Both Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara were included in the playing eleven as the visitors went in with four bowlers for the first time in the series. Kohli provided the reasoning for the decision. “We lost a Test in Galle (on the Sri Lanka tour last year) when we were a batsman short. Even in the home series against South Africa, we were struggling on quite a few occasions because of lack of a batsman. So we wanted to try this combination out, though the game didn’t happen here.

Our sustained efforts are characterised by speed and scale, which can usher an era of historic growth,” he added. The Prime Minister underlined that the India story is also about resilience. “When the world economy is weakening and slowing down, India is a ray of hope,” he said. Contending that doing business is easier today than it was, Modi said, “Big level corruption and bottle necks are becoming history.” He noted that the
country went through two drought years but agriculture production has not decreased. “Our endeavours to give our farmers an expansive market and more money for their produce continue,” he said. “I am certain that we will continue building on this progress and achieve our aim of transforming India,” he said. Referring to the various subjects discussed at yesterday’s meeting, the Prime Minister talked about new and renewable energy sector and said the cumulative installed capacity has crossed 44 GigaWatts.

Last chikungunya spurt in 2006, doctors suggest precautions
Agency | New Delhi The sudden spike in chikungunya cases in several parts of north India, including Delhi, has come nearly ten years after a big outbreak of the mosquito- borne disease across the country. In 2006, over 13 lakh suspected chikangunya fever cases were reported across the country, according to National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP). This year till July 28, 9,990 suspected cases of the disease have been recorded, with Karnataka reporting 7,591 cases. At the AIIMS laboratories, which get blood samples from Delhi and other parts of the country, 362 samples have tested positive during July to August 20. “Out of 133 samples sent to our labs, 83 were tested positive in July and this month till August 20, out of 502 samples, 279 tested positive for chikungunya,” said Lalit Dar of Department of Microbiology at AIIMS. Health experts have attributed the rise to a possible “evolution” in the virus that carries this disease and change in weather factors like humidity.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Narsingh Yadav ingested drug as a tablet
(H.S.) | New Delhi CAS’s ad-hoc division handed Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav a fouryear ban, the following are key excerpts of the order. The athlete had submitted that the sabotage must have been carried out by Mr Jithesh, who had previously attempted to tamper with the athlete’s food and who was an associate of Mr (Sushil) Kumar, a rival wrestler who had made threats to the Athlete; these threats had been made known to the police; the sabotage must have taken place on 23 or 24 June 2016, at the training facility where the
Athlete, his roomate and Mr Jitesh were all present; it involved Mr Jithesh putting the prohibited substance, in powder form, into the Athelte’s (and also into his roomate’s) amino drink whilst he was training and out of his view; Mr Jithesh mixed it in a sufficent quantity to give the first test results and for the long term metabolite to show an increase in the second test some 10 days later; and that the powder, when mixed with water would appear the same as the amino supplement when mixed with water, so would not appear out of the ordinary to the

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad
DP World, an integral part of the supply chain has envisioned Intermodal services as a key to the infrastructural constraints of the nation. Amplifying its Outside the Gate services, CRRS administers safer movement of containers by avoiding damages or pilferages. The Category 1 licence granted by the Indian Railways enables DP World to run CRRS on all routes in India for a period of 20 years (from any port in India to the Hinterland ICDs).This ensures fastest possible access to hinterland, significantly reducing the transit time for moving cargo to and from ICDs. CRRS in-
creases the weight carrying capacity of 61 MT Gross for rail wagon as compared to 26 - 33 MT for trailers by road. No deferrals are faced in comparison to road transport where the trailers are subjected to costs at various check points en-route. Benefitting the trade, CRRS also minimizes the choke-points which hamper the supply chain. Adding to the advantage, this service enables running of double stack trains and charts out synchronized Ship and Train Schedule. Trucking solutions have also been introduced to enable movement of cargo to and from ICDs to customer’s premises. Through CRRS,
