One year after the announcement of the plan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched projects under the smart cities mission in Pune, officially kick-starting the ambitious project of the National Democratic Alliance government. Projects with a total investment of Rs.2,900 crore were also launched on Saturday in states including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha under the Atal Mission
for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT). These projects include sewerage projects with an investment of Rs.1,275 crore and water supply projects at a cost of Rs.817 crore. “The smart cities concept is a big people’s movement. I am seeing that the implementation has been successful. There is an enthusiasm to make their city come first through the competition. This government is holding competitions to move forward and looking for ways to do
so,” said Modi at the launch. He said that this is an attempt to bring development through a new perspective. Projects launched in Pune include slum rehabilitation, street and pedes-
trian walkway, modern buses with alternative fuels, traffic demand modelling project and city common mobility card. Pune stood second in the selected cities. PM Modi added, “We should not

At least eight CRPF personnel were killed after suspected militants opened fire on a bus carrying the jawans in Pampore, Jammu-Kashmir. Two terrorists were also gunned down in the return fire by the paramilitary force. “Two terrorists were killed, we’ve lost 5 jawans and 20 injured. The injured were admitted in a hospital,” said Rajesh Yadav, CRPF commandant. However, three more jawans succumbed to their injuries at an Army Hospital. The CRPF jawans were
reportedly ambushed by the militants while returning to their base after a practice session at a nearby firing range. The operation is currently underway as two more militants are believed to be hiding in the vicinity of the scene of encounter,
he said. MoS Kiren Rijiju said that the terrorists fled from the spot using a getaway vehicle. “The one’s (terrorists) who were in car fled from the spot, However, jawans were able to kill 2, necessary action being taken,” said Rijiju. Home

The DG of the paramilitary force and other senior officials are expected to reach Pampore tomorrow and take stock of the situation.“Eight of our men have been martyred including a sub-inspector,” CRPF DIG KK Sharma said. According some accounts, two more militants were involved in the attack but there was no official confirmation. The area was sealed and an alert was issued about the possibility of two terrorists having fled the spot in a car towards Srinagar.
Agency | Beijing India has a massive infrastructure programme and will decide on which of the projects under it could be referred to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for funding, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Saturday. Mr. Jaitley made the remarks ahead of the crucial AIIB Board
of Governors meeting which he attended.

PM Cameron tried hard to resolve European Union issues, but failed
The European “experiment” is a phrase often used to describe the European Union. In reality, nobody in Brussels or most European capitals actually thought it was anything other than grounded reality. Until the United Kingdom, the second largest European economy and its third largest in population, voted to leave the EU. The EU was a remarkable idea. It sought to develop a post-modern polity designed to end centuries of nationalist rivalry that had led, among other things, to two World Wars. The radical solution of Jean Monnet and other European leaders was to end sovereignty. Governments would deliberately interfere in each other’s affairs. Decision-making would be wholly transparent and cross-border. With the creation of the euro, the Schengen visa and the slow expansion of the authority of the European Parliament and Commission, the term “experiment” began sounding self-deprecating. But a series of inter-related crises hit the EU: the global financial crisis which exposed the fiscal mismanagement of the southern European states, state collapse in the Middle East and the Russian takeover of eastern Ukraine showed the EU was also a system, as Henry Kissinger noted, that had no means to defend itself. However, there was a much more insidious problem buried within the EU. The mish-mash of national and pan-national structures plus the sheer number of countries involved made it a hard sell publicly. Europe’s elite found it easier to push for union without legitimising it through the ballot box. For example, this Thursday was the first time the UK had ever put its EU relationship to the vote, despite repeated promises to do so going back decades. This lack of legitimacy proved an Achilles heel when the European economy began to stagnate and required major structural surgery. Economic reforms require strong leadership and oodles of political legitimacy. Brussels, almost by design, had none of the above. EU Commissioners were grey, invisible technocrats who were good at process and paperwork but zero in winning over popular opinion. The external shocks to the EU only exposed deeper problems already existing within the European economy, problems Brussels had no means to address and even national governments found difficult to tackle. The net result has been economic stagnation, an erosion of working class incomes, an end to social mobility and, finally, a loss of faith in Europe’s political leadership. Inevitably, insurgent political movements began to gain ground: Nigel Farage in Britain, Gert Wilders in Belgium, Marine Le Pen in France and so on. Outgoing PM David Cameron , swayed perhaps by the belief that stolid British voters would not defy the London establishment, tried to solve the twin problems of legitimacy and insurgency with a referendum. He failed spectacularly. Europe’s political rebels now smell blood. Brussels’ Eurocrats can only smell fear. The big question is: Is this vote merely a local British affliction, or does it portend a more global anger against the governing structures of our time? The EU was an audacious constitutional project that was caught between two incompatible characterisations.

‘Raman Raghav 2.0’ review: Kashyap’s inversion of the Ramayana Agency | New Delhi
Anurag Kashyap returns with Raman Raghav 2.0 after the much maligned, somewhat undeserved unmitigated disaster that was Bombay Velvet. In a lot of ways, the reaction to Bombay Velvet mirrored what happened with Raavan. A social media mob mentality took over and suddenly the movie was watched not for what it was but to simply confirm a few preconceived notions that were birthed in unsuspecting folks thanks to the mob that drove all the traffic. It’s a practice exercised for big films with huge expectations at regular intervals. Maybe that’s what drove Kashyap to go back to a language that he would feel home at. Raman Ra-

ghav is about a serial killer. It has gratuitous violence, a relationship drama at its core, that slow descent into chaos with Kashyapesque mood and filmmaking to go with it. Raman Raghav is inspired by the eponymous serial killer from the 60s. But here, Kashyap gives us the 2.0 version. Either that’s an update on the real killer or it is about two sides of the same coin - Raman played by
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Raghav the cop, played by Vicky Kaushal, even if duty bound, not always on the close heels of Raman. Kashyap, along with writer Vasan Bala, divides them into chapters. There is a Prologue and the rest go by the names of The Locked Man, The Sister, The Hunter, The Son, The Fallen etc. Sometimes a later chapter mirrors the earlier one, which is at the crux of Raman Raghav.
award. For an actor who has been around in the industry only for five years and has done only five or six films, for him to be able to pull off that performance is incredible. I don’t think anyone could have done that better than him,” while interacting with media at the green carpet event. Talking about her experience of working with Hollywood actor Vin Diesel
turn of Xander Cage, the Tamasha actress said, “It was amazing and I think like I have always said, I think it is the experiences that make movies special and he (Vin Diesel) was a huge part of making the experience very special for me.” “It can be very unnerving when you move into foreign land and work with new people in new environment, but Diesel was there with me on every step making sure that I was comfortable and making sure everything went up smoothly not just for me but for the entire team and he is one of the most generous human being’s I have ever met” she added. Deepika also revealed that her next movie will go on floors in September, but refused to reveal the details about it.
Actor Sonu Sood has come out in defence of his Dabangg co-star Salman Khan, who has courted controversy for his rape comments, saying mistakes happen. Several Bollywood and television celebrities have publicly condemned Salman, who recently compared himself to a raped woman during the gruelling shoot of his upcoming film Sultan. “Salman is a great guy... I think sometimes people say something... mistakes happen,” Sonu told reporters at the IIFA Rocks green carpet. When asked since Salman is such a huge idol, he should have been more careful, the actor said, “I think everyone should be careful.” Salman also
walked the green carpet last night alongside manys stars but he chose to avoid the media. Sonu is sharing screen with Jackie Chan in Kung Fu Yoga and the Happy New Year actor says the Chinese superstar is the most humble and grounded person he has ever met in showbiz. “I had a great time working with him. He is the most humble and ground-
ed person I have ever met. He is a true legend.” Kung Fu Yoga is a multi-lingual action-adventure comedy film directed by Stanley Tong. The film is a Chinese-Indian co-production and also stars Amyra Dastur, and Disha Patani. Sonu said his next Hindi movie is Prabudeva’s Two In One which released in October and also stars Tamannah Bhtia.
that she wants to enjoy this phase in her life without bothering about the number game. “It’s true that things are happening fast in my career but I am not scared of it right now. It’s great. I feel very grateful and privileged to be able to work with so many great directors and actors. I want to do as many films and play as
many parts as I can,” Alia said. “I prefer not to see myself at the top, middle or the bottom. I don’t like to think that I am at the top because that will eventually come to you with your work or the way you deal with people. I will refresh and renew myself with each film,” said Alia. Alia played a Bihari migrant in Udta Punjab, which also cast Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh. “I am very happy with the kind of response I have been getting. I am not a method actor. I believe in the moment and I am very spontaneous like that. I couldn’t relate to my character but I could empathise with her and the situation she is in,” said Alia.
‘Sardaar Ji’ held the record of being the highest Punjabi opener in East Punjab with the collections being Rs 2.02 crore. But with ‘Sardaar Ji 2,’ the Punjabi superstar has broken his own record. If experts are
to be believed, Diljit’s Bollywood debut ‘Udta Punjab,’ which released just a week ago, seems to have immensely helped the collections of ‘Sardaar Ji 2’ as ‘Udta Punjab’ has broaden the reach of the superstar.

She’s just 15 and has already won the appreciation of some of the biggest names from Bollywood for her first single! Meet Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Shekhar Kapur’s daughter, Kaveri. While she’s still an adolescent, her single Did You Know, is a glimpse into the talented woman she’ll develop into in the future. However, that’s not a surprise taking her genes into account. While Suchitra has worked as a model, actress, writer, painter and singer, Kaveri’s father, Shekhar Kapur is a
well known film director, actor and producer, with movies like Elizabeth and Bandit Queen to his credit. Kaveri penned, composed and sang the song for the first time when she was just 11, however it’s only now that we got a chance to hear the song. In the video one sees the teenager croon in a stu-
dio while she sits and pens lyrics and doodles hearts in her diary. Her shy smile and innocent demeanour compliment the theme well. Industry biggies like Karan Johar, Shaan, Sonu Nigam, Abhishek Bachchan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to compliment Kaveri.

On World Continence Week, Columbia Asia Hospital, Ahmedabad says, Urinary Incontinence (leakage) is Curable at any Age Agency | Ahmedabad
On the observation of World Continence Week, Columbia Asia Hospital, Ahmedabad, organized sessions and camp to educate women about urinary incontinence. The efforts by the hospital intended to create awareness about the fact that urinary incontinence is common and curable at any age.June 20 to June 26 is observed as World Continence Week. From menstrual disorders and menopause, to urinary tract infection and pelvic organ function disorder, women face multiple health issues during and beyond their reproductive periods. Along with all of these, there is also urinary incontinence, the problem of urine leakage due to the lack of bladder control. A debilitating urological problem, urinary incontinence affects a large number of people in India and can throw life completely off track. Besides the embarrassment it causes, it also makes one unable to undertake journeys, confining people to the indoors. Urinary incontinence can occur to anyone, at any age, however, it is more prevalent in women due to variety of reasons.
RBI to study Blockchain technology to curtail paper currency
Agency | New Delhi Exactly 33 years from today, June the 25th, India defeated the then invincible West Indies team of Clive Lloyd to win their maiden World Cup trophy, then called the Prudential Cup, that changed the way Indian cricket was looked at. The West Indies had already won two World Cups (1975 and 1979) before that and were well on their way to completing a hattrick chasing India’s paltry 183, until the Kapil’s Devil’s turned it around with a stunning catch by the skipper to dismiss Viv Richards, followed by a
clean-up job by Mohinder Amarnath. India lost the toss and were sent in to bat at the jam-packed Lord’s Cricket Ground. The fearsome West Indian pace quartet of Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding were ready to rip through the Indian batting line-up. Roberts claimed three wickets, while Marshall, Holding and Gomes grabbed two wickets apiece to dismantle the Indian innings and bowl them out for 183. Kris Srikkanth was the only batsman able to put up any significant resistance with 38 off 57 balls. The right-handed opener
hit seven boundaries and a six in his knock. The chase seemed easy for West Indies but India had something different on their mind. Minutes after the West Indies started their chase, opener Gordon Greenidge was seen walking back to the pavilion after being castled by medium pacer Balwinder Singh Sandhu. Madan Lal removed Desmond Haynes (13) and Richards (33), while Roger Binny dismissed captain Clive Lloyd (8). Kapil Dev ran almost 20 yards to take a spectacular catch of Richards, when it looked he will take West Indies to an easy win.
Darren Bravo, pacer Gabriel propel West Indies into tri-series final Agency | Bridgetown

So, we need to study… how this Blockchain technology can be used in financial transactions where the entire data systems move to some more levels,” Khan told reporters at an event organised by the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT). “We have a group of officials from RBI, IDRBT and industry people which will look into this. There is a tremendous potential (in Blockchain technology).” On Brexit, Khan said the impact will be short term and systems are in place to tackle the medium-term impact, if any. “We are closely monitoring. Given our macro fundamentals, certainly we will be affected by what is happening globally. But… we are in a much better position to weather the storm. We are not in those earlier days of Fragile Five or Turbulent Tens,” he said. On the rupee volatility, Khan said RBI has $ 363 billion of forex reserves and enough tools to handle volatility crisis.

SPORTS ROUNDUP Euro 2016: Reawakened Ronaldo, Portugal take on bite of ‘sharks’ Croatia
Agency | Lens Cristiano Ronaldo awoke from his Euro 2016 goalscoring drought in time to rescue Portugal from an early exit, but faces a greater challenge against a classy Croatia side that Portugal coach Fernando Santos called “sharks” in a wide open draw. Ronaldo made history as the first player to
score in four European Championships with a double in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Hungary. The result saw Portugal just squeeze through behind Iceland and Hungary in third-place in Group F. The Real Madrid star has more records in his sights as he is just one goal behind French legend Michel Platini’s mark of nine in Europe-
an Championship finals. However, Ronaldo refused to accept Portugal were underdogs against a Croatia side that shocked two-time defending champions Spain to top Group D. “We made it and now we face a very good team, but the odds are 50/50,” said Ronaldo. “Croatia are a tough team, with good players. Not every team manages to beat Spain. “We respect them, but we know our strengths and we’ll look them in the eye when we face them.” Croatia are likely to be even stronger for Saturday’s clash in Lens (1900GMT) than against Spain with the return of Ronaldo’s Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric from injury.
ence on how I’ll go about (the role), in terms of being in the background,” Kumble told the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) website. “When I became a mentor for (the) Mumbai Indians, I brought John in because he understood a lot about Indian culture and then the way coaches work. So I’ll pick his brain,” said Kumble, who was appointed to the high-profile post on Thursday. Kumble also enjoyed a
good rapport with Kirsten (2008-11) during the leg-spinner’s last year of international cricket. He played his final Test in November 2008. “I was involved with Gary Kirsten only for the Test matches, a very short period. He was, again, someone who worked in the background and didn’t make himself visible,” said Kumble. “Exactly how I’d like to work as well. Not in the front, but behind the scenes.”
“It has been a tough year for me and I am so happy that my coach ... and my hard work has paid off. “I would like to thank all the people in India who were praying for me to qualify. Your wishes have paid off.” The daughter of weavers from Odisha, Chand was dropped from India’s contingent for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games in Incheon

Kumble keen to emulate Wright, Kirsten in working ‘behind the scenes’ Agency | New Delhi
India’s newly-appointed head coach Anil Kumble is keen to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, John Wright and Gary Kirsten, and keep a low-profile in the job, he said on Friday. The 45-year-old spin great, who played a lot of his cricket under New Zealand’s Wright and South Africa’s Kirsten, said he wants to emulate the duo’s coaching style during his one-year term. Wright was India’s head coach from 2000 to 2005, and held a similar position at his Indian Premier League side Mumbai Indians in 2013-14, when Kumble served as the team’s mentor. “I played a lot under John Wright, he’s been a great influ-

Sunil Narine ensured there would be no escape for the South Africans after Gabriel’s early blast, the spinner taking three for 28 off ten overs. “I’ve been getting starts in this series without really carrying on,” said Bravo after the match. “I worked
extra hard in the nets yesterday and things just worked out for me today with the support of Polly (Kieron Pollard).” With their second win in three matches against the Proteas in the tournament, the hosts advance to face World Cup-holders Australia in the final on Sunday at the same venue. It is also the first time in ten years that South Africa have failed to reach the final of a tri-nation ODI series.
Dutee Chand qualified for Rio Olympics in the women’s 100m event after meeting the qualification mark at XXVI International Meeting G.Kosanov Memorial in Almaty, Kazakhstan on Saturday.

In view of rising incidents of human-animal conflict, a new draft national forest policy has proposed a host of measures including taking up habitat enrichment, provision of adequate compensation for people affected by wildlife and establishment of rescue centres to treat animals to manage the problem. The draft National Forest Policy 2016, put up by the Environment Ministry, notes that the country’s wildlife is facing a threat and wild species are being altered by increasing anthropogenic pressures, rising human-animal conflicts, illegal trade in wild species and climate
change. The draft document, once ratified, will replace the National Forest Policy, 1988. Even as the debate rages on whether culling of wild animals help mitigate the human-animal conflict, the draft, under its section ‘Strengthening wildlife management’, has stressed that there is an “urgent” need to renew efforts to safeguard wildlife and secure their habitats. “Manage and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts by taking up habitat enrichment. Provide adequate and timely compensation in case of injury or loss of human life, property, crop damage or livestock casualties.
