Thursday. Lakhs of Muslims offered Eid prayers at Eidgahs or open grounds and mosques in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad and in other towns of Telangana and neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Attired in their best and wearing skull caps, men and children thronged Eidgahs and mosques since morning for the ‘Namaz-eEid’, marking the culmination of the holy month of Ramadan. The streets in the Muslimmajority old city of Hyderabad were abuzz with activity since early morning as people headed for ‘namaz’ reciting ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great).

Ramadan for success in this life and Hereafter. They also exhorted Muslims to introspect and lead their lives in accordance with the Koran and Sunnah, the holy life of Prophet Mohammed. They underlined the need to have empathy towards the poor. The imams, in their sermons, condemned the terror attack near the holy mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia. They made ‘dua’ (supplica-

text of which was released to the media here, Jayalalithaa said: “As you are aware, Palar is an interstate river and this unilateral action of the authorities in Andhra Pradesh has caused great alarm and apprehension in Tamil Nadu.” She said the Andhra Pradesh government’s irrigation department is increasing the height of the check dam from the current five feet to 12 feet across Palar river in Chittoor, but as Palar is an inter-state river, the upstream state should not, without the prior consent of the downstream state build any any structure obstructing/diverting/storing of the river water. Jayalalithaa also said the Tamil Nadu government has filed a suit in the Supreme Court seeking to restrain Andhra Pradesh from constructing any structure/works across the Palar or at any other place through which the river and its tributaries flow.
SPECIAL REPORT
Centre approves port in Tamil Nadu IANS, NEW DELHI
T
he Union Cabinet on July 4 gave its ‘in-principle’ approval to set up a major port at Enayam near Colachel in Tamil Nadu. The cabinet meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As per the decision, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will be formed for developing the new port. The initial equity contribution will be from three major port trusts in Tamil Nadu — V.O. Chidambaram Port Trust, Chennai Port Trust and Kamarajar Port Ltd. The SPV will develop the port infrastructure, including dredging and reclamation, construction of breakwater and ensuring connectivity links etc. According to the central government, there are only a few ports in India that have sufficient draft and can match global cargo handling efficiencies. Currently, all of India’s transshipment traffic gets handled in Colombo, Singapore and other international ports. The Indian

PERUMBAVOOR (KERALA): Ameerul Islam, a migrant worker from Assam and the main accused in the Jisha murder case, has been sent to judicial custody till July 13 by a court here. His police custody ended on Thursday. According to the prosecution lawyer, Kerala Police’s request for his remand was accepted by the court that sent Islam to the Ernakulam district jail. “Islam’s lawyer presented a petition saying that he should be permitted to speak with
his client in the jail. The court will pronounce its order on this on Friday,” the prosecution lawyer said. Islam was presented before the court on July 7 without his face being covered. However, police requested the media not to publish his photograph. Jisha, a Dalit law student, was found dead in her house by her mother Rajeshwari on April 28. The young woman was raped and then murdered allegedly by Islam, who had earlier worked in the house.
MODI INDUCTS 19 NEW FACES
port industry loses up to Rs 1,500 crore in revenue each year as a result. Establishing this major port at Enayam will not only act as a major gateway container port for Indian cargo that is presently transshipped outside the country, but also become a trans-shipment hub for the global East-West trade route, the government said. Enayam will also reduce the logistics cost for exporters and
importers in South India who currently depend on trans-shipment in Colombo or other ports, thus incurring additional port handling charges. In an interaction with IANS earlier, Minister of State for Road Transport, Highways and Shipping Pon Radhakrishnan said the proposed port will provide direct employment to 10,000 people and change the economic face of the region.
