he number of asylum seekers in Canada from India, a majority of them Sikhs, has soared by over 300 per cent in the past two years alone, with the Canadian government agencies acknowledging “renewed support for separatism in the Punjab region”. The ‘Refugee Claims Analysis Report’ (RCAR), compiled by the Intelligence and Analysis section of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which IANS has accessed, shows that in the first six months of 2018, the number of refugee claims (asylum seeking applications) shot up to 1,805, surpassing the total figure of 1,487 claims made in the entire 2017. The refugee claims made in the first six months of 2018 are over 310 per cent of the total claims made in 2016, which stood at 582. And there is no end to the claims being made, with Canadian authorities expecting the number of cases to jump up to 4,200 this year (2018) - an increase of nearly 720 per cent over 2016 and nearly 285 per cent compared to figures of 2017.

“While claims were filed in all CBSA regions, most were filed in QUE (Quebec province) region (1,363), specifically at Montreal Immigration (898),” the RCAR pointed out. A total of 1,088 of these were male applicants and 717 females. “With over 1,800 claims, midyear numbers for 2018 have

already surpassed total 2017 numbers. Indian nationals made the majority (63 per cent) of their claims at inland offices (1,145), followed by airport mode (614 claims; 34 per cent). Most claimants were born in Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu,” the report has stated. The RCAR, in a critical tone, pointed out: “A frequent basis of claim cited by Indian nationals is the fear of arbitrary arrest or abuse by the police based on accusations of supporting militant organisations. It should be noted that the vast majority of these claims are

6,166 claims in 2018 till June) among claimants. What is significant about the observations made in the RCAR findings is the fact that the Canadian authorities have officially acknowledged that there was mounting tension between the Indian government and the Sikh population and the renewed support for separatism in Punjab. “Tensions are rising between the Indian government and the country’s Sikh population due to concern over renewed support for separatism in the Punjab region.

of individuals born in Punjab or Haryana. It is anticipated that the total claims entered by nationals of India will continue to increase in 2018 to 4,200 claims. The Indian government, though not openly, has accused the Canadian government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of going soft on separatist elements and groups operating in Canada who are trying to revive the separatist movement in Punjab.

n estimated 17 million Indians were living abroad in 2017, making India the largest source country for international migrants globally, up from seven million in 1990 and a 143 per cent increase, according to an IndiaSpend analysis of data from the United Nations Department of Economic Affairs. Over the same period, India’s per capita income increased by 522 per cent (from $1,134 to $7,055), providing more people the means to travel abroad in search of employment opportunities they were not finding at home. At the same time, the number of unskilled migrants leaving the country has been falling: An estimated 391,000 left India in 2017, almost half the number in 2011 (637,000), according to a new report by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). However, this does not necessarily mean that an increasing proportion of India’s emigrants are likely to be higher skilled or that policymakers should be worried about a

The above figures refer to unskilled migrants travelling on Emigration Check Required (ECR) passports -- passports issued by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs to those leaving for employment in certain countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Changes in the government criteria used to class workers as unskilled, leading to more migrants travelling on non-ECR passports, could be part of the rea-

WASHINGTON: An Indian-origin professor in the US compelled his students to act as his personal servants, a daily said. The Kansas City Ashim Mitra Star daily in a report said that it had found that over professor Ashim Mitra’s 24 years as a leader in the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Pharmacy, his students hauled equipment and bused tables at his social events. The students’ complaints were corroborated by Mitra’s former colleagues, who told the daily that they saw the students performing menial tasks off campus or heard their complaints. According to allegations in pending litigation, the University not only knew about Mitra’s behavior, but administrators overlooked complaints for years because he was among the most successful faculty members in corralling millions in research dollars for the school. Mitra has denied the allegations. —IANS

he US President has termed CIA’s conclusion in the Jamal Khashoggi murder as “not definitive”, prompting a Senate Committee to ask Donald Trump for a fresh probe to determine within four months whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had any role in the killing. Republican and Democratic leaders of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday sent a letter demanding a second investigation after Trump earlier in the day said the CIA had not reached a “definitive” conclusion. Trump defended US ties with Saudi Arabia saying it was clear who ordered the murder, despite press reports saying the agency has deter-

BRIEFS Thanksgiving food for troops WASHINGTON: The Pentagon has sent more than 300,000 pounds of Thanksgiving food to US military troops stationed overseas and at the US southern border, the Defense Logistics Agency has announced. The shipments, which include 9,738 whole turkeys and 67,860 pounds of shrimp, were sent to dining facilities throughout the Middle East, Europe, Africa as well as field kitchens in Texas and Arizona, reports CNN. “Many of America’s military men and women are away from home this Thanksgiving, making sacrifices to secure our freedom and to protect our southern border,” Army Brig. Gen. Mark Simerly said.

Trump answers Mueller questions WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has submitted written answers to questions from Special Counsel Robert Mueller probing into the alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US elections, media quoted the president’s attorneys as saying. “The President today answered written questions submitted by The Special Counsel’s Office. The questions presented dealt with issues regarding the Russia-related topics of the inquiry. The President responded in writing,” Jay Sekulow, Counsel to the President, told ABC News in a statement on Tuesday, Xinhua reported. —IANS

Trump defends Ivanka’s use of personal email IANS, WASHINGTON

S President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump over her use of personal email for official business, while Democrats in the US House of Representatives announced plans to investigate the matter. “You’re talking about a whole different -- you’re talking about all fake news,” the president told reporters outside the White House a day after The Washington Post revealed Ivanka’s use of the private account for

some official business, Efe reported. “There was no deletion, there was no nothing. Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails. She had a server in the basement. That’s the real story,” Trump said, referring to the former secretary of state and his opponent in the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s remarks come after media reports on Tuesday that Democrats in the House of Representatives plan to investigate Ivanka Trump’s case. “We launched a bipartisan investigation last year into White House

prince so as to “determine whether a foreign person is responsible for an extrajudicial killing, torture or other gross violation” of human rights. The senate’s request, issued under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, requires a response within 120 days. Saudi Arabia has blamed Khashoggi’s death on rogue agents but denied claims that the crown prince had knowledge of the operation. The US media have reported that the CIA believes Salman ordered the murder. In an interview on Sunday, Trump told Fox News that he had refused to listen to a recording of Khashoggi’s murder provided by Turkey and called it “a suffering tape”. “We need those documents to ensure that Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner (Ivanka’s husband and also a White House adviser) and other officials are complying with federal records laws and there is a complete record of the activities of this Administration,” Cummings said. The case is similar to that of Clinton, whose use of personal email led to an FBI investigation and harsh criticism by Trump during the election campaign, and the mogul even proposed jail time for his opponent during the race. But on Tuesday the president focused on the differences between the actions of Clinton and his daughter. “They weren’t classified like Hillary Clinton. They weren’t deleted like Hillary Clinton,” Trump said. “She wasn’t doing that to hide her emails.”

White House restores CNN reporter’s press pass IANS, WASHINGTON

NN on Monday ended its lawsuit against US President Donald Trump after the White House returned reporter Jim Acosta’s press pass, media reported. The cable news network on Monday tweeted: “Today the White House fully restored Jim Acosta’s press pass. As a result, our lawsuit is no longer necessary. We look forward to continuing to cover the White House.”, reports Efe. In a statement, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that the government spoke with Acosta on Monday afternoon and told him that his press pass had been fully restored, a

gesture whereby the administration backed off from the threats it had been making prior to that to exclude him from further access to the White House.

However, the return of his pass is conditional on Acosta’s abiding by a set of new rules at presidential news conferences, including asking just one question at a time.

As CNN reported, the White House earlier had warned Acosta that it would suspend his press pass again at the end of this month, when the temporary ruling to restore it issued last week by a judge expires. The magistrate in the case, Timothy Kelly, last Friday ordered the White House to temporarily return Acosta’s accreditation for at least 14 days, a period that will lapse at the end of November if the judge does not decide to extend it. The White House suspended Acosta’s press credentials on November 7 due to his reluctance to immediately hand over the microphone after posing a question to Trump during a press conference, a move that led CNN to sue the president.

Ram Madhav, the BJP’s pointsman for Jammu and Kashmir, alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and National Conference boycotted local body polls last month “because they had instructions from across the border (Pakistan). “Probably they had fresh instructions from across the border to come together and form (a) government.

Governor dissolves J&K Assembly

n a dramatic development, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was dissolved on Wednesday night after three mainstream parties came together to stake claim to form a government that was countered by Peoples Conference leader Sajad Lone with the BJP’s backing. Governor Satya Pal Malik made a terse announcement, saying he was exercising powers conferred on him by the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution and dissolving the House which had two more years to go. The dissolution came shortly after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Conference and the Congress came together and staked claim to form a government in a bid to checkmate moves by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form a government with the support of PDP rebels and Lone. Questioning the timing of the dissolution, PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti said: “Since the past five months, regardless of political affiliations, we shared the view that the state Assembly be dissolved immediately to avert horse trading and defections. “Oddly enough, our pleas fell on deaf ears. But who would have thought that the very idea of a grand

months after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in June withdrew support to the Mehbooba Mufti-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) coalition government. The party also ridiculed the Governor’s decence on Wednesday, when he maintained that “the grand alliance” was an “opportunistic” one.

In response, Ram Madhav sought to justify his remarks. “Just take it in your stride Omar Abdullah. Not questioning your patriotism at all.

Omar Abdullha in his tweet said: “National Conference has been pressing for Assembly dissolution for five months now. It can’t be a coincidence that within minutes of Mehbooba Mufti letter staking claim the order to dissolve the Assembly suddenly appears.” Taking a dig at the Raj Bhawan for not receiving her letter of support via fax, Mehbooba tweeted: “In today’s age of technology, it is very strange that the fax machine at Governor’s residence didn’t receive our fax but swiftly issued one regarding the Assembly dissolution.”

AAP blames BJP for chilli Cabinet approves Kartarpur corridor attack on Arvind Kejriwal IANS, NEW DELHI

IANS, SONIPAT/NEW DELHI

day after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was attacked with chilli powder at the Delhi Secretariat, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday pointed fingers at the BJP alleging there was a “conspiracy” to eliminate the AAP chief. Without taking names, Kejriwal said the repeated attacks on him were “planned” and “they want to kill” him. “It is obvious that the attacks are planned. We are an obstacle in their path. They want to kill me. They are attacking us repeatedly. I feel, in the history of India, there is not even one case where a Chief Minister was attacked four times in two years,” he told the media in Sonipat in Haryana.

He added that the attacks were a result of his party doing a “good job” in Delhi. “They feel if the AAP continues to be in power, people will start questioning them and their credentials,” said Kejriwal in an apparent reference to the Bharatiya Janata Party.

he Union Cabinet on Thursday decided to develop a Kartarpur Corridor from Gurdaspur in Punjab to the international border to facilitate pilgrims’ passage to Kartarpur Sahib gurudwara in Pakistan as part of the 550th birth year celebrations of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev, next year. The government will also develop Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab, the city associated with Guru Nanak’s early life, as a heritage town conforming to all principles of smart cities, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said a press conference after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at which the decisions were taken. It will also run special trains to sacred places and gurudwaras associated with the Sikh Guru’s life, he said. “The government will develop a Kartarpur Corridor from Dera Baba

Nanak in Gurdaspur, Punjab to the international border to facilitate pilgrims from India to visit the holy Gurudwara Darbaar Sahib Kartarpur on the banks of Ravi river in Pakistan where Guru Nanak Devji spent 18 years,” he said. The Minister said since many pilgrims visit the location on the international border from where the gurudwara in Kartarpur is visible, the government decided to set up

the special corridor with all modern facilities at the border terminal including visa and customs facilities for those who are permitted to cross the border. “Pilgrims would then be able to visit the holy shrine throughout the year,” a Home Ministry official said. Meanwhile an External Affairs Ministry official said India has urged Pakistan to complete building the corridor on its side with suitable facilities. “We have approached and urged the Pakistan government to recognize the sentiments of Sikh community and build a corridor with suitable facilities in their territory to facilitate easy and smooth visits of pilgrims from India to Kartarpur Sahib throughout the year,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said. Kartarpur Sahib is the place where the holy gurdwara, built on the site where Guru Nanak died in 1539, is located.

Think before scrapping FTA, China tells Maldives

een as a fresh revival of ties between India and the Maldives, the two countries agreed to work on peace and stability in the Indian Ocean region following a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and new Maldives President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Saturday. “The two leaders, while noting the resilience of the relations between India and the Maldives, expressed confidence in the renewal of the close bonds of cooperation and friendship with the election of Solih as the President of the Maldives,” a joint statement issued following the meeting said. “During their meeting, both leaders agreed on the importance of maintaining peace and security in the Indian Ocean and being mindful of each other’s concerns and aspirations for the stability of the region,” it stated. “The two leaders expressed their unwavering commitment and sup-

UK’s EU exit: May to continue negotiations LONDON: The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister on Sunday confirmed she will travel to Brussels later in the week to continue Brexit negotiations following a tough week in which she published a provisional deal on the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. Theresa May gave an interview on a Sunday morning Sky News politics show in which she defended a draft Brexit plan which, although welcomed by EU officials, prompted a backlash from UK lawmakers, including members of her own Conservative Party, a number of whom have started to collect signatures for a no-confidence motion, reports Efe news.

This is Modi’s first visit to the Maldives and the first prime ministerial visit from India to that country since 2011. Solih, the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party’s candidate, emerged victorious over Yameen. His term is expected to continue until 2023. He is the seventh President of the Maldives and the third to be elected under the country’s new Constitution.

BEIJING: China on Tuesday said it hoped the Maldives will think before scraping the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with it after an influential leader of the island nation said his country will pull out of it as the deal was blindly pro-Beijing. Beijing also sought to put a brave face in the light of the Maldives’ new President Ibrahim Solih’s decision to review the Chinese investments made during the presidency of proChina leader Abdullah Yameen. The Chinese Foreign Ministry evaded a question whether Beijing felt the new Maldivian government was steering the country back towards India after being close to Beijing under Yameen. “China-Maldives FTA is based upon the friendly and equal consultations of the two sides.

implementation of the agreement will deliver benefits to the two sides at an early date. We believe the Maldives government will make the right choice in this regard,” spokesperson Geng Shuang said. Mohamed Nasheed, a top leader of the governing alliance of the country, said that the FTA with China, signed last year under Yameen’s rule, was unfortunate and one-sided and Male would pull out of it. The Maldives, under Yameen who was ousted by Solih in elections this year, had signed the FTA with China, becoming the only second nation to strike such a deal after Pakistan. The deal, opposed by Solih’s party, had raised eyebrows in India and other countries. It was rushed through without any debate in the Maldivian parliament. —IANS

why, despite 140,000 NATO troops plus 250,000 Afghan troops and reportedly $1 trillion spent on war in Afghanistan, the Taliban today are stronger than before,” Imran Khan tweeted in response to Donald Trump’s remarks.

Suicide bomb attack in Kabul kills at least 50 IANS, KABUL

suicide bombing on Tuesday at a hall in Kabul where hundreds of religious scholars had gathered to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday left at least 50 people dead and more than 70 others wounded, officials said. The attack was carried out by a lone insurgent inside the Uranus wedding hall, Kabul police spokesperson Basir Mujahid told Efe. “The explosion took place as hundreds of ulema (Islamic scholars) and people were gathered in the hall to observe Mawlid and recite passages from the Quran,” he said, adding that police had not been advised of a need for security beforehand.

All of the victims were civilian men, health ministry spokesman Wahidullah Majroh told Efe. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani blamed the “unpardonable crime” on the “enemies of Islam.” “Once again, the terrorists have

acted against the teachings of the Prophet,” he said in a statement. While no group claimed responsibility, the Taliban, Afghanistan’s largest insurgency, took the unusual step of denying involvement, reports Efe.

India-Oz need to renew old relations

PM Modi’s visit to Australia in 2014 outlined the vision of a vastly expanded bilateral and strategic engagement AMIT DASGUPTA, NEW DELHI

ndia-Australia relations are a classic example of unrealised potential and a tragic tale of consistently missing opportunities, despite multiple areas of strategic convergence and shared interests. It is almost as if apathy holds back both countries from trying to break new ground in a significant manner. This has been frustrating and disappointing. Understanding this is as much a dilemma as trying to explain it. In the early years, the relationship was at best prickly. Canberra viewed New Delhi with suspicion after India’s embrace of non-alignment and strategic distancing and, thereafter, its nuclear tests. However, this changed, especially after India dramatically recrafted its relationship with Washington. Many argue that the neglect of New Delhi had been so acute that the sudden coziness between the US and India surprised and confused Canberra to such an extent that it was unsure as to how it should reimagine its relationship with New Delhi. The lack of a

strategic policy was such that, at one stage, the prestigious Sydneybased Lowy Institute even argued that if Canberra did not act with utmost urgency in recrafting the manner in which it viewed and engaged with New Delhi, it might not find a place among India’s

spoke of demonstrated how palpably the relationship was lacking in depth and substance but, more importantly, how neither country saw any pressing strategic interest in taking it to the next level. This perception was dramatically disrupted by Prime Minister

As Indian President Ram Nath Kovind makes a state visit to Australia from November 21, it should be remembered that no relationship can be crafted if it does not matter in its own right friends and allies. For India, geography and history became gate-keepers. Foreign and security policymakers recalled history as the great stumbling block and argued that New Delhi could craft its destiny without Australia’s help or support. Business and industry, similarly, repeatedly found excuses not to engage Australia with vigour. Both nations, tragically, blindsighted themselves into believing that a more substantive and engaged relationship would not impact their futures. The cricketcurry-Commonwealth (3Cs) diplomacy that many Australians

Narendra Modi, through his fourcity visit to Australia in November 2014 and the bold joint statement that outlined the vision of a vastly expanded bilateral and strategic engagement. It was India reaching out as never before to a very surprised Canberra. All of a sudden, there was hope that the relationship would reach new frontiers and that the years of neglect would slip away quickly. There was genuine and credible optimism that Modi’s visit would allow the hesitations of history to be overcome. Unfortunately, in the four years

since Modi’s visit, while there have been some positive developments, The elephant in the room that Canberra grapples with is that it sees India through the lens of Washington and China. For decades and even after Modi’s historic visit, Canberra is navigating a difficult terrain by trying to seek a relationship with India to counterbalance Beijing, while simultaneously being mindful of not annoying Beijing. As Indian President Ram Nath

Kovind makes a state visit to Australia from Nov 21, it should be remembered that no relationship can be crafted if it does not matter in its own right. Only time will tell if Canberra is willing to see India as a strategic partner in the rapidly changing global scenario and particularly in the Indo-Pacific. It is also time that New Delhi reaches out to Canberra and carry forward the vision that was enunciated four years ago.

Kumbh: Railways to use tech, video analytics to control crowd IBM Intelligent Video Analytics will be pressed into service for crowd control at stations and its adjoining areas during the Ardh Kumbh Mela ARUN KUMAR DAS , ALLAHABAD

ndian Railways will use technology, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), in a big way to tackle the massive rush of passengers to this holy city during the upcoming Kumbh Mela — for which it will deploy as many as 800 special trains. IBM Intelligent Video Analytics will be pressed into service, a first for the Railways, for crowd control at stations and its adjoining areas during the Ardh Kumbh Mela. Kumbh Rail Seva, a new mobile App, will soon be launched to disseminate information to train users and others travelling to the world’s largest religious event, which is expected to attract over a 100 million people — a number higher than the populations of most countries on earth. “We have finalised the action plan for this Kumbh Mela taking all possible factors into consideration,”

North Central Railway General Manager Rajeev Choudhury told IANS. With the 2013 stampede fresh in mind, the national transporter is not leaving anything to chance and is focusing mainly on crowd

management at the main junction and its adjoining stations. “We will be using the technology in a significant way to facilitate crowd movement in a smooth way,” Choudhury said, adding: “While IBM will provide video

analytics service using Artificial Intelligence for crowd control, there will be large number powerful CCTV cameras to monitor the situation and LED screens for displaying information.” Besides, social media will be extensively used for keeping the pilgrims updated on a real-time basis. More than 5,000 Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel will be deployed to manage the crowd movement at 10 stations in and around the city, including Allahabad, Prayag, Prayag Ghat, Jhunsi, Naini, Cheoki and Allahabad City. The Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mystical Saraswati rivers, will begin from January 15 and conclude March 4, 2019. Considered one of the largest gatherings of people in the world, more than 100 million devotees

and Hindu ascetics are expected to attend the almost two-monthlong Kumbh Mela to wash away their sins in the sacred Ganga river. According to the state government, 12 million pilgrims are expected on January 15 (Makar Sankranti), 5.5 million on Januray 21 (Paush Purnima), 30 million on February 4 (Mauni Amavasya), 20 million on February 10 (Basant Panchami), 16 million on February 19 (Maghi Purnima), and 6 million on March 4 (Mahashivratri). Acknowledging the size and grandeur of the congregration, Choudhury said: “It is no doubt challenging to manage the rush at stations but we are confident of making it a successful and smooth event.” Close coordination with state administration is another step that the Railways is pursuing to make the event a success.

Professor in US used ‘students as servants’ WASHINGTON: An Indian-origin professor in the US compelled his students to act as his personal servants, a daily said. The Kansas City Ashim Mitra Star daily in a report said that it had found that over professor Ashim Mitra’s 24 years as a leader in the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Pharmacy, his students hauled equipment and bused tables at his social events. The students’ complaints were corroborated by Mitra’s former colleagues, who told the daily that they saw the students performing menial tasks off campus or heard their complaints. According to allegations in pending litigation, the University not only knew about Mitra’s behavior, but administrators overlooked complaints for years because he was among the most successful faculty members in corralling millions in research dollars for the school. Mitra has denied the allegations. —IANS

The refugee claims made in the first six months of 2018 are over 310 per cent of the total claims made in 2016, which stood at 582 already surpassed total 2017 numbers. Indian nationals made the majority (63 per cent) of their claims at inland offices (1,145), followed by airport mode (614 claims; 34 per cent). Most claimants were born in Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu,” the report has stated. The RCAR, in a critical tone, pointed out: “A frequent basis of claim cited by Indian nationals is the fear of arbitrary arrest or abuse by the police based on accusations of supporting militant organisations. It should be noted that the vast majority of these claims are

Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, for example, have seen their Indian populations grow by 66, 56 and 42 per cent, respectively, over seven years to 2017. They are cheaper and have better educational opportunities.”For example, Germany has free education and there’s the potential to land a job in the country after university too, so you’re seeing a shift in migration,” Sharma said. However, while these data show the numbers from each state leaving on ECR passports, they do not indicate how many have switched to non-ECR passports. Kerala may still be seeing large numbers of its population emigrate despite a decline in 2016 and 2017 in the ECR category. India received the largest remittances globally in 2017, with close to $70 billion landing in the country’s banks accounts.

Johri set to resume as BCCI CEO The 3-member panel, comprising Justice (Retd) Rakesh Sharma, ex-DCW chair Barkha Singh and lawyer-activist Veena Gowda called the allegations levelled against Johri as ‘fabricated’

ICC dismisses Pakistan Board’s case against BCCI

IANS, NEW DELHI

n independent threemember committee that went into sexual harassment allegations against BCCI CEO Rahul Johri has given him a clean chit on the issue but the Committee of Administrators in the board is divided over the clean chit with CoA Chairman Vinod Rai saying Johri can resume office. The three-member independent panel, comprising retired Justice Rakesh Sharma, former Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Barkha Singh and lawyer-activist Veena Gowda called the allegations levelled against Johri as “baseless and fabricated” in their report. “The allegations of sexual harassment in the office or elsewhere are false, baseless and have been fabricated and manufactured with an ulterior motive to harm Rahul Johri and throw him out of BCCI,” Justice Sharma stated in his findings. “No adverse action need to be taken against Johri, CEO, BCCI, on the basis of these mischievous, false, fabricated, unsubstantiated complaints, e-mails, tweets, etc. on social media,” he added. On receipt of the report on Wednesday, Rai, a former CAG, decided that Johri should be rein-

stated, a proposal Diana Edulji, the other member of the Committee of Administrators, with which she did not agree. “Since there is no consensus between the two members of the Committee of Administrators regarding what action should be taken against Rahul Johri, the Chairman (Vinod Rai) stated that the natural consequence would be that Johri continues as the CEO of BCCI and is entitled resume office,” stated a release from the CoA on Wednesday. “(Diana) Edulji disagreed with this. However, the Chairman reit-

erated that Rahul Johri should continue as the CEO of BCCI and resume his duties, as a natural consequence,” it added. Johri was earlier asked to go on forced leave for the last three weeks owing to sexual harassment allegations made against him levelled by a woman colleague in his previous organisation. Gowda agreed that she has not found him guilty of sexual harassment. She, however, made some serious recommendations in the matter. “Each of the allegations before the committee has been dealt with above and as a conclusion I am

DUBAI: In a setback to the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) demands for monetary compensation from the BCCI for deciding against playing bilateral cricket, the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Dispute Panel on Tuesday dismissed the PCB’s case. The panel was chaired by Michael Beloff QC, an English barrister and a member of Blackstone Chambers, and included Jan Paulsson and Annabelle Bennett. The hearings took place in Dubai from October 1-3. “Following a three-day hearing and having considered detailed oral

and written submissions, the Dispute Panel has dismissed the PCB’s claim against the BCCI,” the ICC said in a release. The PCB had sought compensation to the tune of $70 million from BCCI for not honouring the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two boards in 2014 to play six bilateral series over the course of eight years between 2015 and 2023. The ICC, earlier, had said the decision of the panel will be final and cannot be challenged. —IANS

reiterating some of the consequential observations made therein for recommended action: A) The Conduct of Rahul Johri at Birmingham as a CEO of an institution such as BCCI is unprofessional and inappropriate which would adversely affect its reputation and the same has to be looked at by the concerned authorities. B) In view of his conduct at

Birmingham as well as keeping in mind the allegations made by Ms. X and his conduct before this Committee with respect to the photographs submitted, it is essential that Mr. Johri undergo some form of gender sensitivity counselling/ training,” she wrote. The committee was set up on October 25 and was given 15 days to complete the investigation.

Brief scores:

ll-rounder Marcus Stoinis starred in Australia’s 4-run win over India in the rainaffected first T20 International at the Gabba here. After belting an unbeaten 19ball 33 to propel the hosts to 158/4 in 17 overs, Stoinis picked up two crucial wickets and was equally supported by leggie Adam Zampa (2/22) to deny India, who came agonisingly close to the target and finished their innings on 169/7 after the target was revised to 174 under the Duckworth-Lewis method. India’s chase began on a poor note, losing Rohit Sharma (7) and skipper Virat Kohli (4) cheaply before Shikhar Dhawan’s (76 off 42; 4X10, 6X2) knock resurrected the innings to some extent. Continuing from his brilliant 92 in the final T20I against the West Indies on November 12, Dhawan was at his brutal best, getting to his fifty off a mere 28 balls and eventually outscoring Kohli (641 runs) to become the highest run-getter (646 runs) in T20Is in 2018.

Australia 158/4 (Glenn Maxwell 46, Chris Lynn 37, Marcus Stoinis 33 not out; Kuldeep Yadav 2/24) beat India 169/7 (Shikhar Dhawan 76, Dinesh Karthik 30; Adam Zampa 2/22, Stoinis 2/27) by DL method.

But it was the late blitz from Dinesh Karthik (30 off 13; 4X4, 6X1) and stumper Rishabh Pant (20 off 15; 4X1, 6X1), resulting in a 51-run fifth wicket stand that gave the visitors a real chance before pacer Andrew Tye came back to not only avenge his thrashing but also spoil India’s party. With India losing the trio of KL Rahul (13), Kohli and Dhawan in

quick succession, Karthik and Pant took the attack to the opposition and in the process, the right-left duo mercilessly milked 25 runs from Tye’s previous over, before the bowler bounced back with the wicket of the southpaw. Stoinis soon joined the party by first removing new man Krunal Pandya (2) and then Karthik to end all hopes of an Indian win.

Earlier, Glenn Maxwell (46) and Stoinis combined well, belting 78 runs for the fourth wicket to leave India to chase a revised target of 174 in 17 overs, after almost an hour was lost due to rain during Australia’s innings. Put in to bat, Australia lost opener D Arcy Short (7) cheaply but the arrival of Chris Lynn (37) changed the complexion of the innings, with Lynn and skipper Aaron Finch (27) milking 40 runs for the second wicket. However, Kuldeep Yadav once again came to India’s rescue with the chinaman sending the duo back to the pavilion in quick succession before Maxwell and Stoinis took charge.

SABARIMALA PILGRIM ARRIVALS DIP According to official figures, while five lakh pilgrims visited the temple during the opening week in the last season, this time the figure is just 1.42 lakh

Sabarimala protests part of BJP-RSS game plan: CPI-M NEW DELHI: The agitation against the Supreme Court verdict on Sabarimala is part of an “all-India game plan of the BJP and RSS to stir up communal tensions and create communal polarization” ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, the CPI-M said. “Given the all-round failure of the Modi government and with the Lok Sabha elections just six months away, the BJP and RSS have begun to desperately revive communal and divisive issues,” said an editorial in the CPI-M journal “People’s Democracy”. “Central amongst them is the

Ram temple at Ayodhya,” the Communist Party of India-Marxist said. The editorial said that the aim of the BJP, RSS and allied groups was to provoke violence and create trouble within the Sabarimala temple premises and to put the blame on the Kerala government led by the CPI-M “for destroying the sanctity of the temple”. It quoted Kerala BJP President Sreedharan Pillai as saying that their struggle was against the Communist government and not the entry of women into the temple. —IANS

week after the Sabarimala temple opened for a two-month pilgrimage season, the number of pilgrims has touched a new low due to political protests as well as tightened security. According to official figures, while five lakh pilgrims visited the temple during the opening week in the last season, this time the figure is just 1.42 lakh. The sale of ‘appam’ (local variety

of cake) and ‘aravana’ (jiggery payasem) to pilgrims has also dropped, forcing authorities to slow down production. The main reason for this has been the tightening of the rules for pilgrimage by the police following protests by Hindu groups since September 28 when the Supreme Court allowed women of all ages to enter the temple that hitherto banned girls and women aged 10-50. The apex court on November 13 refused to stay the September verdict. The Left Democratic Front government led by the CPI-M has

been trying to implement the apex court’s verdict even as the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party and several Hindu groups are up in arms against it. On Wednesday, 72 pilgrims who were arrested after they protested at the temple were released from the jail after they secured bail. But the protests have helped the pilgrims in one way -- they are able to pray before the deity in a leisurely manner. During this time in the previous season, the flyover leading to the sanctum santorum of the temple

was packed. This week it looks deserted most of the time. “I am coming for the past 18 years. This time, I could go up the hallowed 18 steps by touching all the steps with both my hands which I could never do all these years because of the rush,” said one pilgrim, beaming with happiness. “I have already had ‘darshan’ of the deity four times and am getting ready for a fifth time.” Minister of Devasoms (temples) K. Surendran told the media on Thursday that the situation was smooth in Sabarimala and there

had been relaxations of the rules. “For the real pilgrims there are no issues and no problem. The restrictions are only for anti-social elements,” he said. After the Kerala High Court’s intervention, the ban on going up to the temple from Pamba has been lifted. Any dip in the number of pilgrims to Sabarimala affects the Travancore Devasom Board - custodian of the temple - as the revenue generated from Sabarimala is used to meet expenses of about 1,200 temples under its jurisdiction.

Modi, Rahul among top names to start Telangana campaign IANS, HYDERABAD

op Congress and BJP leaders are all set to plunge into the electioneering in Telangana for the next month’s Assembly polls even as the ruling TRS has had a head start. With the deadline for withdrawal of nominations coming to an end on Thursday, all major contenders were finalizing their schedules for their star campaigners. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu, several central ministers and top leaders of the two national parties were set to hit the campaign trail. Sonia Gandhi will be addressing an election meeting at Medchal on the outskirts here on November

Telangana polls: Congress moves EC over pink ballots NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday approached the Election Commission (EC) seeking withdrawal of pink ballot papers pasted on EVMs for the Telangana Assembly polls contending that the color was associated with the ruling TRS and voters may get influenced. In its memorandum to the EC, the Congress pleaded for withdrawal of a direction to procure 9 lakh pink ballot papers for the December 7 Assembly elections. “Pink is the official color of the Telangana Rashtra

23. The meet was expected to give a headstart to the party’s campaign as it heads a four-party ‘Mahakutami’ or grand alliance ahead of the single phase December 7 polls.

Samiti (TRS), it is synonymous with the party. The usage of pink colored ballots without doubt, will give the TRS an undue advantage over other contesting parties,” the Congress said in the memorandum. “The EC is tasked with the conduct of free and fair elections under the Constitution. We are certain that it will agree as this is an important issue that needs immediate redressal. Party colors are of great significance for representation and its ideologies,” it added. —IANS

tion of the state, the party leaders were holding it as a thanksgiving event in her honour for carving out the state. Rahul Gandhi will again visit Telangana on November 28 and 29 and later on December 3 to address a series of rallies in different parts of the state. Modi was expected to give boost to the Bharatiya Janata Party campaign by addressing a few rallies on November 27 and December 3. State BJP leaders say Modi may participate in the campaign in four districts, including here, covering the constituencies where the party

is considered strong. BJP chief Amit Shah, who addressed a couple of public meetings during September and October, plans to visit Telangana for three days soon to address 12 rallies. Party’s Telangana unit president K. Laxman said Amit Shah will address the meetings on November 25, 27 and 28. BJP is contesting all 119 seats on its own. Several union ministers are also likely to campaign for the party candidates. Health Minister J.P. Nadda and party general secretary Ram Madhav have already addressed a few meetings.

Where data sits is irrelevant: Jack Dorsey Twitter CEO tells IANS that in the era of Cloud, more important question is whether people own their data and how they control it NISHANT ARORA, NEW DELHI

tressing that data localization is an irrelevant debate in an era of Cloud, the deliberations must be in the direction of how people own and control their data, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has said. In an e-mail interview with IANS, Dorsey, who is in India on his maiden visit, said that in their business, “Internet is trending towards where data sits to be irrelevant”. “The Cloud allows data to be everywhere. I think the more important question is whether people own their data and how they control it,” replied Dorsey when asked about the Indian government’s demand from the tech companies to store data locally so

it remains within the law of the land. According to Dorsey, there must be a conversation on data ownership, not localization.

“That’s the conversation that I think we need to have rather than where exactly the data sits. It’s more about the ownership by the

individual,” Doresy told IANS. Dorsey arrived in India the last weekend and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress President Rahul Gandhi during his Delhi leg of the tour. According to Dorsey, he came to India to find out where the gaps are. “One of the reasons why I’m here in the first place is to understand how to do that and understand where the gaps are,” Dorsey told IANS. “We certainly have heard a lot about language support and that’s something I’ll be looking into. Access, in terms of data speed, is something we’ve been working on,” he added. In his meeting with Rahul Gandhi, Dorsey discussed various steps the social network was taking to curb the spread of fake news and boost a healthy conversation on its platform.

‘Americans more negative on Twitter’ TORONTO: With their choice of words on Twitter, Americans appear to be living up to their national stereotype as negative and assertive, while Canadians tend to be nice and polite on the micro-blogging platform, suggests an analysis of nearly 40 million tweets. Canadians were far more positive on Twitter, using words such as great, thanks, good, amazing, and happy. Americans tended to use more negative words like hate, miss, mad, feel, swear, tired, said the study published online in the journal PLOS ONE. “The Twitter behavior we observe doesn’t actually reflect the real underlying personality profile of an average American or Canadian,” said study co-author Daniel Schmidtke from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada. The findings suggest national stereotypes are grounded - at least partially - in the words we choose. “The most distinctive word choices of Americans and Canadians on Twitter paint a very accurate and familiar picture of the stereotypes we associate with people from these nations,” Schmidtke said. —IANS

I have no plan to step down: Zuckerberg IANS, SAN FRANCISCO

WhatsApp appoints Abhijit Bose as India head IANS, NEW DELHI

nder pressure from the government to build a separate corporate entity in the country, instant messaging service WhatsApp has named Ezetap Co-founder Abhijit Bose as its India head. Bose will join WhatsApp in early 2019, the company said. He will build WhatsApp’s first full country team outside of California and will be based in Gurugram, the Facebook-owned platform said in a statement. Meeting WhatsApp CEO Chris Daniels in the wake of a number of lynching incidents being linked to the rumors spread on the platform, Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in August said that the plat-

form must comply with the law of the land and take “suitable” steps to prevent misuse of the instant messaging platform. Prasad also directed the WhatsApp boss to appoint a grievance officer and establish a separate corporate entity in the country. WhatsApp in September appointed Komal Lahiri as the Grievance Officer for the country. Lahiri is based at WhatsApp’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. Bose joins WhatsApp from Ezetap where he has served as cofounder and CEO. Founded in 2011, Ezetap is an electronic payments company backed by top-tier venture capitalists. In 2018, it was recognized by CNBC as a Top 50 Disruptor for its impact on digital payments in India.

espite mounting pressure from investors to step down as Facebook chairman as the social media firm faces intense scrutiny on data scandals, Mark Zuckerberg has said he has no plans to retire. In an interview with CNN late on Tuesday, he said this was not the time for him to quit as Facebook shares ended at $132.43 -- down 40 per cent from its peak in July. “That’s not the plan. I’m not going to be doing this forever, but I’m not currently thinking that makes sense,” said the Facebook CEO. The interview came after the New York Times reported how Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg “ignored warning signs” of the Cambridge Analytica scandal and hired a Republican-owned political consulting and PR firm to “dig up dirt” on competitors. “I do run the company. I am responsible for everything that happens here. I don’t think this point was about a specific PR firm; it’s about how we act,” Zuckerberg said during the interview. The Times report also suggested that Facebook knew about Russian influence activities on its platform as early as spring 2016. Facebook hired a firm called Definers Public Affairs to retaliate

against or spread inflammatory information about its critics. Elliot Schrage, Facebook’s outgoing Head of Public Policy, has reportedly taken the blame for hiring the Definers. According to a memo with TechCrunch, Schrage admitted having the company push negative narratives about competitors but denies asking or paying Definers to publish fake news. Facebook didn’t confirm the memo.

In the interview, Zuckerberg said there’s no doubt that “we missed something really important” when it came to the Russian interference during the 2016 US election. “It was not something we were expecting. I wish we understood it before 2016, before the Russians tried to do these information operations in the first place,” he added. Last week, Facebook investors increased pressure on Zuckerberg to step down as Chairman.

Alia and Ranbir sort of made their relationship official when both of them walked together hand-inhand at Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s wedding reception earlier this year. They are also going to be seen together for the first time in “Brahmastra”.

Rani Laxmibai was a visionary: Kangana

ctress Kangana Ranaut says she values freedom because of Rani Laxmibai. “I’ve grown up listening to Rani Laxmibai’s legend and folklore like all of us but at the same time I did not know the intensity of her life. Her youth had gone in battling the enemy and preparing the regular people to become warriors,” Kangana told IANS. “What was unknown about her life is that she fought for many things that are acceptable today like adoption and women empowerment. She was against untouchability and she neither believed in caste system,” she added.

Sonu dresses up as cleaner

inger Sonu Nigam, who is currently shooting in Panipat at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, was amused to see a video clip which shows him dressed as a cleaner who is cheerful and in high spirits — something the singer believes holds true in real life as well. Sonu believes that in life, one must have the zeal to succeed and work hard no matter how arduous the situation. Even a cleaner who works so hard has a smile on his face and that’s how one must go through hardships.

Sharing her experience of working in her comeback film, Preity told IANS: “I was pretty nervous to face the camera after a long gap…Iwas so worried that I thought I forgot acting.

To essay the role of a living being is additional responsibility on me as actor and team as the makers of the film.” Richa will be seen playing the role of Shakeela in the biopic, based on the life of the southern actress of the same name, whose popularity soared after the untimely and tragic demise of Silk Smitha. “I’m looking forward now that the film has wrapped up for the release next year,” she added.

Indian American Professor Used Students as Personal Servants

Prof. Ashim Mitra

BY A STAFF WRITER ANSAS CITY, KS — An Indian American professor in Missouri allegedly compelled his students to act as his personal servants. As per report, it had found that over professor Ashim Mitra’s 24 years as a leader in the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy, his students hauled equipment and bused tables at his social events. They were expected to tend to his lawn, look after his dog, and water the house plants, sometimes for weeks at a time when he and his wife were away. The claims were made by nearly a dozen of Mitra’s former students. An Indian former student, Kamesh Kuchimanchi, stated that he considered his life at UMKC as “nothing more than modern slavery.” “Slavery” to Kuchimanchi meant bailing putrid water from Mitra’s basement after a flood and serving food at the professor’s Indian cultural celebrations off campus. The students’ complaints were corroborated by Mitra’s former colleagues, who told the daily that they saw the students performing menial tasks off campus or heard their complaints. A few colleagues repeatedly told the professor his actions were improper, yet nothing changed. A student who earned her doctorate at the UMKC pharmacy school in 2013 said that students feared the repercussions if they refused Mitra. Meanwhile, one of his colleagues, Mridul Mukherji, also from India, has sued Mitra and university officials.

The World Music Foundation Hosts Hindustani Musical Concert BY A STAFF WRITER HICAGO,IL— On November 1 0 t h , T h e Wo r l d Mu s i c Foundation presented Ustad Aashish Khan and Sandip Burman in concert at the Adler Planetarium. Guests were greeted by a pristine view of Chicago’s modern picturesque skyline and all of the futuristic ambiance of the Adler Planetarium, yet the music itself transported the near-capacity audience back to the Classical era of Hindustani court music. Indeed, the first and second-half performances were a beautiful contrast as well. The main stars of the evening, legendary sarod master Aashish Khan and multiinstrumentalist Sandip Burman on tabla, performed for just over an hour, demonstrating great experience and aged knowledge and improvisation. The evening was opened by Chicago-based students of the Sandip Burman School of Music, who demonstrated a very well planned exhibition of technical abilities featuring an impressive cascade of memorized compositions played in seemingly perfect unison. The evening began with introductory words by John Gardner, the Executive Director of The World Music Foundation,

(L-R) Legendary Sandip Burman & Aashish Khan

gave a special welcome to the more than two-dozen veterans in the audience, on this Veterans Day weekend. The hosting nonprofit provides Indian classical music lessons in Chicago, Naperville, and Schaumburg, and visits schools and communities across nine countries and organizes concerts like this one. After the opening remarks, right on cue, the stage curtains were revealed, displaying illuminated stars, which began shining

brightly as the opening performance began. After a short intermission, Aashish Khan and Sandip Burman took stage. The first piece was a beautiful solo sarod, followed by a change of microphone, and then sarod and tabla jugalbandhi, a thrilling tabla solo, virtuosic sawal-jawab (which Khan called ‘fighting between the two instruments’), and finally the performance culminated in a rousing tihai which brought the engrossed audience to their feet.

BY A STAFF WRITER LEASANTON, CA— Indian American Surjit Singh, 72, and his son Rajeshwar Singh were sentenced to 11 years and three months in prison on four counts of mail fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and four counts of false statements on loan and credit applications, according to a Department of justice press release. In addition, Anita Sharma, 56, of Gilroy, California was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison on two counts of mail fraud, two counts of bank fraud, and two counts of false statements on loan and credit applications. Altogether, they are charged with procuring more than $9.3 million in residential mortgage loans. While Surjit was ordered to pay a $2 million fine, $698,787 in restitution, and $847,000 in forfeiture, Rajeshwar was ordered to pay a $1 million fine, $928,287 in restitution, and $838,399 in forfeiture and Sharma was ordered to pay $603,180 in restitution and $30,000 in forfeiture, according to a press release. According to court documents, in 2006 and 2007, Surjit recruited individuals with good credit to act as straw buyers for residential properties owned by his family members and associates. Rajeshwar, being a licensed real estate agent, assisted in the scheme by submitting loan applications for the straw buyers and Sharma, a dental assistant at the time, was one of the straw buyers. Because Sharma and the other straw buyers could not afford the homes based on their true incomes, the Singhs submitted fraudulent loan applications and supporting material to lending institutions that included false statements about the straw buyers’ income, employment, liabilities, and intent to occupy the homes as their primary residences. According to a Department of Justice, at least 14 properties were involved in the scheme, where Sharma herself purchased five homes in San Jose, San Ramon, Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Modesto, while other straw buyers purchased or refinanced properties in Stockton, Modesto, Patterson, Lathrop and Tracy. All of these homes were ultimately either foreclosed upon or sold in a short sale where the bank lets homeowners sell their homes for less than is owed on the mortgage. He also benefited through rental payments made to him and his significant other by the renters of the homes, as the straw buyers were not living in the homes. While Surjit is in custody, Rajeshwar and Sharma are scheduled to self surrender on January 9, 2019.

Air pollution: Indians may lose 4 years’ life on average

A blanket of smog covers New Delhi. (File photo: IANS)

Loss of life expectancy is highest in Asia, exceeding six years in many parts of India and China, says an alarming study IANS, NEW DELHI

ndia is the world’s second most polluted country, slightly trailing only Nepal, the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) said this week. Particulate pollution is so severe that it shortens the average Indian’s life expectancy by more than four years relative to what it would be if World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines were met. This is up from about two years in the late 1990s due to a 69 per cent increase in particulate pollution, it said. Concentrations in Indian states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and the National Capital Territory of Delhi are substantially higher, and the impact on life

India’s first sewer cleaning device IANS, NEW DELHI

I Cancer: ‘New drug halts cell spread’ NEW YORK: Scientists have developed a novel drug that could block glioblastoma -- the deadliest form of brain cancer -- from spreading. The tissues in our bodies are largely made of fluid. It moves around cells and is essential to normal body function. But in some cases, this fluid may be doing more harm than good. In people who have glioblastoma, this fluid has a much higher pressure, causing it to move fast and forcing cancer cells to spread. The AMD3100 drug, which has already been used in clinics, was found effective in stopping the inevitable cancer cell spread, the researchers at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University said. The team explored the flow of interstitial fluid in the spread of glioma cells. The researchers tested the drug and found that it could block the rapid movement of the fluid flow and the spread of cancer cells. —IANS

n order to reduce sewer deaths and put an end to the unsafe practice of manual scavenging, the Sulabh International on Monday introduced India’s first “sewer cleaning machine”. The machine, Sulabh International founder Dr Bindeshwar Pathak said, “will do away with 99 per cent of manual scavenging” in the country, where at least one worker has died while cleaning sewers or septic tanks every five days since the beginning of 2017. “With the machine, a worker won’t have to enter the sewers. But if the need arises and a person has to go, then the machine is fully

equipped with gas checking machine, protective gears and dress to protect the workers from harmful gases,” Pathak told IANS. The machine, which costs Rs 43

lakh, was unveiled on the occasion of World Toilet Day 2018 by the mayors of all the three Municipal Corporations of Delhi (MCD), in the presence of Delhi BJP President Manoj Tiwari and Pathak. While briefing about the vehicle, Dr Pathak said the new machine is ideal for periodic mechanical desilting of manholes and to flush out sewer lines using the powerful jetting pump capable of producing 150 bar operating pressure and a flow of 150 litres per minute. “It is also capable of de-choking sewer lines using specially designed flexible steel rods,” he said, adding that the machine will ensure that no “safai karamchari” (manual cleaner) dies inside the sewer.

Private health sector top choice in India PANAJI: Despite 70 years of investment in the country’s healthcare sector, nearly 70 per cent of India’s population has to look to the private sector, Indu Bhushan, chief executive officer of the Ayushman Bharat, said. Participating in a debate on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship healthcare programme in Panaji, he said, “India has invested in the healthcare sector for the last 70 years, yet the needs of 70% of the population is met by the private sector. Similarly, while there have been significant efforts to reduce poverty, close to six crore people are driven into poverty each year due to healthcare expenses.” —IANS

‘Malaria cases drop 24% in India, Odisha best performer’ IANS, NEW DELHI

ndia has been identified as the top country marking maximum progress in reducing malaria cases among the 11 highest burden countries, registering a 24 per cent decrease in 2017 compared to 2016, according to a World Health Organisation (WHO) report. As per the WHO World Malaria Report 2018, India is the only high-burden country moving in a positive direction, with Odisha emerging as the best performing state in its fight against Malaria.

The report suggests that malaria cases declined from 3,23,800 in 2017 (January-September) to 55,365 in 2018 for the same dura-

tion, along with a drop in deaths to single digits in Odisha. However, the report suggests that 1.25 billion Indians still

remain at the risk of getting diagnosed with malaria. According to the WHO, approximately 70 per cent of the world’s malaria burden is concentrated in 11 countries -- 10 in subSaharan Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania) and India. In 2017, 151 million malaria cases and 2,74,000 death cases were reported in these 11 countries. There were an estimated 219 million cases of malaria in 2017.

Vaibhav Jain, CEO, Deco Window, and Piyush Bhandari, Co-founder at Jumpinggoose, have ideas for giving a makeover to your abode: Wood: The wooden pieces of art are back in store.

Easy ways to fix post-workout soreness IANS, NEW DELHI

S well with floral, hence a theme having hanging flowers in your outdoor can also have a good rustic background. Metallic: There is something about wall arts that add charm to your room. Heavy paintings or frames act as a way of expressing yourself through your decor. Combining copper, gold, silver can prove to be a good idea, provided matte is something that’s kept in mind while looking for the end product. — IANS

PORT LOUIS: The humble kitchen towels used for multi-purpose tasks can put your households at potential risk of bacteria that cause food poisoning, say researchers. The finding showed that the towels used for wiping utensils, drying hands, holding hot utensils, wiping/cleaning surfaces, had a higher bacterial count. Coliforms (Escherichia coli) was found to be higher in humid towels, multipurpose towels and in towels from families having non-vegetarian diets and could lead to food poisoning, the researchers said. “Our study demonstrates that the family composition and hygienic practices in the kitchen affected the microbial load of kitchen towels,” said lead author Susheela D. Biranjia-Hurdoyal, senior lecturer, at the University of Mauritius. — IANS

oreness after an intense workout is part of the package. It cannot be completely overcome. However, it can be managed efficiently with proper care. Eat cherries, take out some time to relax after workout and try to sleep, suggest experts. Badal Upreti, Personal Trainer, Anytime Fitness, has shared how to overcome post-workout soreness: v Cherries help in increasing oxygen flow in the muscles reducing your muscle inflammation. v Immediately after a workout, you must have time to relax. It provides time for your body to use nutrients to rebuild and repair your sore muscles.

Taking a nap may fix post-workout soreness. (Photo: pexels.com)

v After workout, a nap of around one or two hours is necessary as it helps the body enter deep and restorative stage of sleep. v A shower after workout helps to decrease the inflammation of muscles, joints and tendons and also

prevents various muscle injuries. Aashish Chaudhry, Managing Director and Orthopaedic Surgeon, Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital, recommends: v Most people tend to skip the warm up session before intense workout without realizing how much they are risking. By warming up before the workout routine you prepare your muscles for the heavy-lifting and reduce chances of muscle soreness or damage. Similarly, light workout and stretches after the workout will benefit you. v Exercising with sore muscles may seem counterproductive but doing so loosens your tight muscles and may flush out the lactic acid that’s causing soreness. A short jog will do the trick.

Berlin food fest: A piquant expression of Indian culture IANS, BERLIN

he second Indian Food Festival organized in Berlin was appreciated by more than 3,000 people at the Indian Embassy in the German capital, an official said this week. The colorful Indian dishes were tastefully displayed during the fest, at different food stalls representing various regional foods from all parts of India. Minister Personnel of the Indian Embassy T.V. Ravichandran, whose vision made the food fest a great success for the second succes-

sive year, joined hands with 12 Indian Berlin-based associations including Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayali, Oriya, Punjabi,

Tamil and Telugu, in a collaborative venture in order to showcase the authentic cuisines from their particular regions.

“Food is the most piquant expression of any culture. While India as a nation rightly boasts of its rich cultural diversity visible in its multilingualism, multi-religiosity and multi-ethnicity, it is, however, appreciated most visually on a platter,” Indian-origin poet Rajvinder Singh, who has been living in Berlin since January 1981, told IANS. “Shaped by tradition, geography, climate and cultural fusions and supported by its local ingredients, Indian food had attained a myriad of regional and sub-regional cousins,” the three-time German poet laureate added.
