Transgender ban blocked Second US judge blocks Trump’s military transgender ban, says the decision was “capricious, arbitrary, and unqualified” IANS, WASHINGTON
A
second federal judge has blocked the US administrations proposed ban on transgender troops, saying President Donald Trump’s announcement of the ban earlier this year was “capricious, arbitrary, and unqualified”. In a preliminary injunction, Judge Marvin J. Garbis of Maryland halted a policy that would have discharged all current transgender troops and barred prospective ones from enlisting, saying it likely violated equal protection provisions of the Constitution, the New York Times reported. Judge Garbis’s order went further than a similar ruling in October by Judge Colleen KollarKotelly of Columbia, which also said the ban likely violated the Constitution. “There is absolutely no support for the claim that the ongoing service of transgender people would have any negative effective on the military at all,” the ruling said. But while Judge Kollar-Kotelly did not specifically block a Trump administration policy prohibiting gender-reassignment surgery for

service members at the government’s expense, Judge Garbis’s order does. The ruling leaves in place an Obama-era policy, announced in 2016, that allows transgender troops to serve openly and receive the required medical care for their
gender transition through the military. Shortly after the ruling the Trump administration appealed last month’s decision, signalling it would continue to press for the removal of transgender troops. In July, Trump said on Twitter
that the military could not afford the “tremendous medical costs and disruption” of transgender troops and that the government “will not accept or allow them to serve in any capacity in the US military”. A presidential memorandum released in August said all transgender service troops would be discharged. A number of service members immediately filed suit, arguing the new policies were discriminatory. There are an estimated 2,000 to 11,000 active duty transgender service members, according to a 2016 RAND Corporation study commissioned by the Pentagon. The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the suit on behalf of six service members, said the ruling was a victory over what it called in a statement “uninformed speculation, myths and stereotypes”. “Today is a victory for transgender service members across the country,” said Joshua Block, who represented the service members. “We’re pleased that the courts have stepped in to ensure that trans service members are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve,” he said.
US asks SC to allow entire travel ban WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow the latest version of its controversial travel ban to go fully into effect, pending appeal, the media reported. The third version of the travel ban places varying levels of restrictions on foreign nationals from eight countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Yemen, reports CNN. A district court in Hawaii blocked this iteration of the travel ban from going into effect last month. But a three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals partially lifted that order on November 13, allowing the ban to go into effect except for foreign nationals who have “bona fide” relationships with people or entities in the US. In the latest filing this week night, Solicitor General Noel Francisco sought to differentiate the President’s latest ban from prior iterations, reports CNN. “It is the product of a review process undertaken by multiple Cabinet officers and government officials... And it is based on express findings of inadequacies in the information sharing practices, identity-management protocols, and risk factors of certain countries.” —IANS
Trump discusses North Korea with Vladimir Putin IANS, WASHINGTON
U
S President Donald Trump spoke with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin over phone for more than an hour about the conflict in Syria, the anti-terrorism fight in Central Asia and the Middle East as well as the nuclear threat posed by North Korea. In a statement, the White House said that the two leaders reaffirmed their support for the joint declaration they both adopted during the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Danang, Vietnam, in which they committed to work together defeating the Islamic State terror group in Syria. Trump and Putin stressed the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2254 to “peacefully resolve the Syrian civil war, end the humanitarian crisis, allow displaced Syrians to return home and ensure the stabil-
Trump doesn’t rule out backing Moore WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump did not rule out backing the Senate candidacy of Republican Roy Moore, saying any option is better than the presence of another “liberal” in the upper house. Moore has in recent days been accused of sexual harassment by eight women. “I can tell you one thing for sure, we don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat, (Doug) Jones,” Trump told reporters this week while referring to Moore’s Democratic rival for the vacant Alabama Senate seat, Efe news reported. “I’ve looked at his record - it’s

terrible on crime. It’s terrible at the borders. I can tell you, we do not need somebody that’s going to be bad on crime, bad on borders, bad with the military, bad with the Second Amendment.” The US President’s remarks came days after eight women accused Moore, a former judge, of having sexually abused them during the 1970s when some of them were between 14 and 18 years of age. Moore “totally denies” the allegations, Trump said although he did not share whether or not he believes those denials. —IANS

Upon leaving the White House for his Palm Beach, Florida, residence for the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump briefly told reporters about his talk with Putin, whom he said spoke very seriously about bringing peace to Syria. Trump and Putin also discussed
the “importance of fighting terrorism together throughout the Middle East and Central Asia and agreed to explore ways to further cooperate in the fight against IS, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and other terrorist organizations,” the White House said. Both leaders spoke about “implementing a lasting peace in Ukraine as well as the need to continue international pressure on North Korea to halt its nuclear weapon and missile programs”, the statement added.

Rahul’s elevation set in order It would be clear on December 11 whether there would be a contest for the top party post IANS, NEW DELHI
T
he Congress Working Committee has approved the road map for what looks like an unopposed elevation of its Vice President, Rahul Gandhi, as party President, barring an unexpected contest, enabling the passing of the mantle from his mother, who was at the helm for 19 years. It would be clear on December 11 whether there would be a contest for the top party post. The last date for filing nominations has been set as December 4, and scrutiny will be done on December 5, Mullapally Ramachandran, Chairman of the Central Election Authority said after a CWC meeting that cleared the schedule. The last date for withdrawing nominations is December 11 and the date of poll, “if necessary”,
Bankruptcy code ordinance approved NEW DELHI: An ordinance that bars willful and habitual defaulters from bidding for stressed assets was promulgated on November 23 with tough provisions to prevent any attempts by them to regain control of companies in difficulty. President Ram Nath Kovind on November 23 signed the ordinance that amends the Insolvency and Banking Code (IBC) 2016 which was sent to him by the Union Cabinet on November 23. Breaking the news at a meeting of select editors, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said: “The ordinance disentitles the big defaulters and makes it difficult for them to bid for distressed assets which was of their own making.” He said the ordinance does not ban them from bidding for the stressed assets but would make it difficult for them and disentitles them from doing it. Giving an example he said: “You can’t say my account is NPA (non performing asset) but I have to bid. This is ethically completely unacceptable to the Indian political system. “I also have a political cost to pay. You can’t be a stressed asset and you want to join the process for bidding.” He said one solution could be that the NPA holder at least comes forward and services the interest by Rs 10 to Rs 15 -thousand crore in an asset of, say, Rs one lakh crore. The Ordinance aims at putting in place safeguards to prevent unscrupulous, undesirable persons from misusing or vitiating the provisions of the Code. — IANS

would be December 16. Counting of votes will be done on December 19. In finalising the poll schedule, the top policy making body of the Congress has kept the option open for Rahul Gandhi’s elevation--
either before or after the outcome of the Assembly polls in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh that will be out on December 18. Asked about whether Sonia has appealed to party leaders to actively participate in the poll process
because on earlier occasions whoever had chosen to contest had his career finished, chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said the Congress has had a history of contests. “Congress is the only party which protects democracy in the country and within the party. This has been going on since Mahatma Gandhi’s time. Even Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had fought against a candidate fielded by Gandhiji. But their affection for each other had never come down.” Party sources pointed out that two senior leaders Jitendra Prasada and Rajesh Pilot had contested against Sonia Gandhi and Sitaram Kesri respectively. But the party still gave them respect and positions, he said adding their sons were ministers in Manmohan Singh’s government. Rahul Gandhi’s elevation will come more than three years after
Congress was battered in the 2014 elections when it sunk to an all time low of 44 seats in the Lok Sabha. Ever since it has been struggling to revive itself and by and large it has tasted defeat in the successive Assembly barring in Punjab earlier this year and along with JD(U) and RJD in Bihar in 2015. The JDU-RJD-Congress alliance has since come apart after JD(U) broke ranks and tied up with BJP once again to continue in power. Sonia, who is all set to hand over the baton to her son, has been keeping indifferent health in the last few years and has not been actively participating in party affairs as well as in the current round of election campaign. The longest-serving President, Sonia became President in 1998. She had taken the primary membership in 1997.
Congress seals deal with Hardik Patel IANS, AHMEDABAD
P
atidar leader Hardik Patel has announced his support to the Congress in the Gujarat Assembly election after it reached an understanding with him by promising job quotas to the agitating Patel community if it comes to power. Hardik Patel made the muchawaited announcement on behalf of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) at a crowded press conference here this week, saying the PAAS was formally accepting
the “workable formula” advanced by the Congress. “The Congress has accepted our demand for reservations with a formula that provides for benefits equivalent to OBCs constitutionally, without disturbing the present 49 per cent quota for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs,” Patel said. “We are accepting the formula given to us by the Congress party.” Neither Patil nor Congress gave out details of the understanding reached on the reservation formula. Senior Congress leader and former union minister Kapil Sibal, who
Patidar leader Hardik Patel.
had held discussions with Patel and other PAAS leades, said Hardik Patel would reveal the details of the formula at an appropriate time. Sibal merely said that his party’s suggestions on providing quotas to
Patidars in poll-bound Gujarat was “as per the Constitution”. But Finance Minister and BJP leader Arun Jaitley mocked the agreement calling it an exercise at “deception of each other”.
Dasmunsi’s body cremated with state honors IANS, KOLKATA/KALIAGANJ
T
housands of people, including leaders cutting across political lines, paid tearyeyed farewell to veteran Congress leader Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi, whose mortal remains were consigned to flames with state honors this week. Emotional scenes were witnessed through the day, particularly at Kaliaganj, where Dasmunsi’s ancestral home is situated in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district, as legions of mourners wept and shouted “Priya Dasmunsi amar rahe” and “Vandemataram”, before

the cremation at the Kaliaganj Bondor Crematorium. As early as 1971, Dasmunsi was
elected president of All India Youth Congress, a position he held till 1975, when Sanjay Gandhi removed
him to anoint his (Gandhi’s) favorite, Ambika Soni, to the post. Dasmunsi did not take the snub kindly, and left the Congress in 1979, when the party split after it lost power at the Centre in 1977 at the height of the anti-Emergency wave. Dasmunsi joined the Congress (Socialist), became its West Bengal president. But he returned to the Congress fold after the party rode back to power in 1980. In 1985, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi appointed him as Minister of State for Commerce. In 1999, Dasmunsi successfully fought the Lok Sabha elections from Raiganj and repeated his success in 2004.

Modi’s silence doesn’t augur well for India’s democracy
As the left-wing fringe elements threaten ‘Padmavati’s leading actor Deepika Padukone, Modi and his government’s silence ultimately amounts to indirect approval of such elements SAKET SUMAN, NEW DELHI
E
ven as camera-friendly and Internet-savvy Prime Minister Narendra Modi waxes eloquent on his “Beti Padhao Beti Bachao” campaign, the right-wing fringe elements openly threaten a leading actor under his government’s nose. Modi and his government have done nothing but maintain silence, ultimately amounting to indirect approval and further encouraging these elements. The volunteers of Shri Rajput Karni Sena had earlier physically assaulted “Padmavati” director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of the movie. It’s deja vu as they are out on the streets again, mocking the “law and order” that Modi claims to have improved. While the controversy around the movie may be looked at from different lenses — that of creative freedom and sentiments of a large community — Mahipal Singh Makrana, president of the Rajasthan unit of the outfit, shamed his community as well as the country when he stated

that they would not hesitate to chop Deepika Padukone’s nose like Shurpanakha, a character in the “Ramayana” whose nose was chopped off by Lakshmana. His comments show the deeply rooted patriarchal views at the core of his outfit’s thinking. It’s more
than just the controversy over the movie and many would argue that the boiling “Rajput blood” of Makrana couldn’t resist a woman openly asserting her creative freedom. It’s that sick feeling when a man from the Stone Age has no heart to listen to a woman.
Makrana is not the only one — our proud country is testimony to open barbs of many like him. The Prime Minister’s grooming too has been under an organization with similar views — the RSS. What is sad is the Prime Minister has not to put aside the motivations
of his ideological parent and placed “India first” in his actions, as he does in his words. And it is not an isolated instance, but the new order of the day. It seems just yesterday when Paresh Rawal, a BJP parliamentarian, had openly threatened Booker-winning author Arundhati Roy. Rawal had kicked up a storm by his tweet that urged violence against the much-acclaimed author of “The God of Small Things”. That was in sharp contrast to the otherwise comic personality he was thought to adorn. In 2015, when leading writers returned their Sahitya Akademi awards to protest growing intolerance, many from the ruling dispensation, including Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma, had spewed venom against them. The Modi government, as it is today, remained a mute spectator to all of these instances.
Can Haryana’s women achievers help wash off ‘girl killer’ tag? Till last year, the sex ratio in Haryana was 850 girls for every 1,000 men. The government now claims it has improved to around 930 JAIDEEP SARIN, CHANDIGARH
W
omen achievers from Haryana — which has lived with the tag of being a “girl killer” with the worst sex-ratio among Indian states — are re-writing the script of the state’s infamy. The crowning of Manushi Chhillar, 21, who was born in Rohtak town and whose family hails from the dominant and conservative Jat community, as Miss World 2017, has again brought the focus back on women from the state making it big at the international level. Till last year, Haryana had the dubious distinction of being the worst among all states in terms of sex ratio — a dismal 850 girls for every 1,000 men. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state, led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, now claims to have arrested the rot with the
sex ratio improving to around 930. Manushi’s achievement lies not only in winning the Miss World, or earlier this year the Femina Miss India, title. She is pursuing her MBBS degree from a government medical college in a rural part of

She is a poet, painter and a dancer. Besides her keen interest in fashion and beauty, she has joined a long list of women achievers from Haryana. The story and struggles of wrestler sisters Geeta and Babita Phogat, who bagged medals for the country at the international level, was well depicted in Aamir Khan’s superhit movie “Dangal”. The film
Mountaineer Santosh Yadav became the first Indian woman to scale the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest, twice. Women belonging to the state also include ace international player Saniya Nehwal, bollywood actors Juhi Chawla, Parineeti Chopra and Mallika Sherawat and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, among others. The achievements inspire others to break the conservative barriers.

Dalveer Bhandari re-elected to ICJ In a big diplomatic win for India, Justice Dalveer Bhandari wins second term at ICJ after the UK pulls out of the race ARUL LOUIS, UNITED NATIONS
I
n a major diplomatic victory for India, Justice Dalveer Bhandari has been re-elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) after the General Assembly rallied behind him in a show of strength that made Britain bow to the majority and withdraw its candidate Christopher Greenwood. “I am grateful to all the nations who have supported me,” Bhandari told IANS in the Assembly chamber after the election on November 20. “It was a big election as you know.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this week congratulated Bhandari “on being re-elected to the International Court of Justice. His re-election is a proud moment for us”. Following Bhandari’s election, Sushma Swaraj tweeted: “Vande Mataram - India wins election.” She added: “Huge efforts by Team MEA.” She specifically complimented India’s Permanent Representative in the UN, Syed Akbaruddin. Bhandari will start his term from February 2018. The withdrawal of its candidate
Modi lauds ministry for Bhandari’s ICJ re-election NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi this week congratulated External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and her department for Justice Dalveer Bhandari’s re-election to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). “Congratulations to Sushma Swaraj and her entire team at MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) and diplomatic missions for their untiring efforts that have led to India’s reelection to ICJ,” the Prime Minister tweeted.

He also thanked the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). “Our deep gratitude to all the members of UNGA as well as UNSC for their support and trust in India,” he wrote on Twitter.

bers have traditionally had a judge in the ICJ, assuming it to be a matter of right. This time the 193member Assembly asserted itself, forcing the Council to back down and put at risk the continuation of the ICJ perk of the permanent members. In letters written to the Presidents Miroslav Lajcak of the Assembly and Sebastiano Cardi of the Council, Britain’s Permanent Representative Matthew Rycroft said his country was withdrawing Greenwood’s candidature keeping “in mind the close relationship that the UK and India always enjoyed
and will continue to enjoy”. Bhandari’s election was a dramatic face-saving turn of fortunes for India as he lost the Asian seat on the ICJ to Lebanese lawyerturned-diplomat Nawaf Salam, who had been campaigning for two years and had the backing of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation with 55 UN members. Bhandari got a second chance only because an unpopular Britain could not get an Assembly majority for a remaining judgeship requiring a runoff where the two chambers of the UN split in their voting.
Great to be an Indian in the ‘Following up on Jassar’s death in US’ US right now: Vidya Vox IANS, NEW DELHI
NEW DELHI: US-based YouTube star Vidya Vox says that, while growing up, she tried to shun her Indian heritage as she was often bullied in school. But she is now “100 per cent” proud of her roots and feels it is great to be an Indian in the US right now. Vidya Iyer, better known by her stage name Vidya Vox, was born in the Indian city Madras (now Chennai), grew up in Virginia, and is based in Los Angeles. Asked how she feels being an Indian in the US under Donald Trump’s administration, Vidya told IANS: “It’s great. There are many people like Priyanka Chopra of South Asian descent in the media who are in the forefront right now. That’s really great. While growing up, I didn’t see examples like that.” “I was bullied when I was in middle school in DC, especially for being an Indian, because there weren’t many Indian kids in school. And because of that, I tended to hide my Indian culture, but that

changed by the end of high school. Now, I am 100 per cent proud of it. I am not going to hide it any more,” she said. “Growing up, I had a bit of an identity crisis. I spoke in Tamil at home and ate dosa and idli. At school, I would listen to Beyonce (Knowles) and eat pizza and fries,” she added. The singer, who has learnt Carnatic music, felt like she was living in two separate worlds. —IANS
xternal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has said the government is following up on the killing of an Indian student in the US, in which a person of Indian origin has been arrested. Sushma Swaraj tweeted that she had received a detailed report on the “unfortunate death” of student Dharampreet Singh Jassar in California. “It was a case of armed robbery at a gas station in which robbers shot at Dharampreet who was working there. The police have arrested a suspect of Indian origin,” she said. “We are following up further police investigation and will extend all help to his family.” On the night of November 13, Jassar, 20, was on duty at the Tackle Box store next to a gas station in Madera city when the robbers barged in to loot the store. One of them fired several shots at Jassar, who tried to hide behind the cash counter, The Fresno Bee reported. The culprits later fled with cash and a few big boxes of cigarettes, the police said. The incident was

reported to the police by a customer who found Jassar’s body on the floor on November 14, the report said. Jassar hailed from Punjab and was a student of accounting. He had gone to the US around three years ago on a student visa. Police arrested 21-year-old Armitraj Singh Athwal, believed to be one of the two robbers who fired multiple shots at Jasser. During a search of Athwal’s vehicle, the police allegedly found an unregistered .38-calibre
revolver, a reported stolen .22-calibre assault pistol, drugs, and a blue bandana caught on surveillance footage of the robbery. Athwal’s vehicle was also registered in another name. “Dharampreet was a completely innocent victim, just doing his job, when he was senselessly killed,” Madera Sheriff Jay Varney said. Athwal faces robbery and murder charges. He does not appear to have a lengthy criminal history, Varney said. His bail is set at $1 million.

imbabwe’s incoming President Emmerson Mnangagwa has thanked Zimbabweans and the military for their support. In his first public address to supporters upon his return to Zimbabwe from exile this week, Mnangagwa said he was humbled by the outpouring of support after he was sacked by former president Robert Mugabe two weeks ago, Xinhua news agency reported. He immediately pledged to serve the people, saying all Zimbabweans need to unite and grow the economy for employment creation. “We want peace in our country, we want jobs for our people,” he said.

Serb commander Mladic convicted
THE HAGUE: Ratko Mladic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity by a UN tribunal here. Known as the “Butcher of Bosnia”, Mladic led forces during the massacre of Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) in Srebrenica and the siege of Sarajevo. The UN tribunal convicted him on 10 of the 11 charges. The tribunal found that Mladic “significantly contributed” to the genocide in Srebrenica in 1995 where more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys were murdered, the Guardian reported this week.

Hariri vows to remain in Beirut, defend Lebanon IANS, BEIRUT
L
ebanon’s President Michel Aoun on Wednesday criticized Saudi Arabia on the background of Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation, saying that Riyadh has carried out an “act of aggression” against Lebanon. “We consider Prime Minister Saad Hariri as being detained in Saudi Arabia and this is an act of aggression against Lebanon,” Aoun said during a meeting with the
National Audio&Visual Council, Xinhua reported. Aoun said that nothing justified Hariri’s continued stay in Saudi Arabia, now into day 12. “This contradicts the Vienna Treaty and human rights,” said Aoun, according to the President’s Twitter account. He stressed “we cannot keep waiting and lose time, because state affairs cannot be put on hold”. Reiterating his previous comments regarding Hariri’s resignation,

Aoun said that it was not possible to complete the resignation formality as Hariri had announced it from abroad.
Mnangagwa told hundreds of cheering supporters at the ZANUPF headquarters in the capital. He also thanked the Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda for resisting pressure from some quarters that wanted to derail the process of ousting Mugabe from power. Aoun added “he needs to return to Lebanon to submit his resignation or withdraw it, or discuss the reasons for it and the solutions.” The controversy was raised following Hariri’s sudden resignation on Nov. 4 through a statement he read on al-Arabia TV from the Saudi capital Riyadh. He accused Iran, a major foe of Saudi Arabia, of interfering in Lebanese internal affairs through the militant group Hezbollah, and said his life was in danger. A few days later, he said during a television appearance that he would return to Beirut “within the coming few days.” Lebanon President Michel Aoun had refused the resignation, calling on Hariri to return home to formally submit it.

house arrest since January under the Anti-Terrorism Act. A source in the Punjab government, however, told the Nation that the author-
ities were planning to keep the JuD chief under house arrest in another case pending against him. He has been declared a global
terrorist by the UN and the US for his role in the Mumbai attack that killed 166 Indians and foreigners and has a $10 million bounty on his head. The move came just days after the US Defense Department persuaded Congress to drop a provision that had linked reimbursements to Pakistan with demonstrable action against LeT. “It astounds me that we keep giving Pakistan money — military and foreign aid — and they're a haven for terror groups from the Taliban to LeT. The military folks over the years have not made the case to me that we should continue military support to Pakistan,” Republican Congressman Ted Poe said last week.

U
S President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump’s visit to India next week will not be just a trip to attend the business conclave as she will also be exploring the historic city of pearls. Ivanka Trump, who is also the advisor to the US President, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) on November 28 at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), located in Hitec City, the information technology hub housing many US tech giants. A business owner herself, she will also speak at a session with the theme ‘Women first, prosperity for all’. About 1,500 delegates, over half of them women, from 150 countries will participate in the three-day summit. On evening of November 28, she will make a trip to Falaknuma Palace located on a hillock in the Muslimmajority old city of Hyderabad. She will not only attend the dinner being hosted by Modi but will also get an opportunity to see the
Karti Chidambaram allowed to go abroad NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has permitted Karti Chidambaram, son of former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, to visit the United K. Chidambaram Kingdom for the admission of his daughter to Cambridge University. Karti Chidambaram had sought the court’s permission to visit Cambridge on December 1, assuring that he will come back on December 10. The apex court directed Karti Chidambaram to file an undertaking within three days on his flight details and that he will come back by December 10. “Needless to say, if the undertaking is not complied with, the first respondent (Karti Chidambram) shall face such consequences as may be deemed fit and proper,” a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, and Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said. The court also said that upon his return to India, “he shall file an affidavit with regard to grant or nongrant of admission” before the apex court.

opulent palace, a symbol of a long Muslim rule and culture. Trump, along with Modi and top US and Indian officials, will dine at 101-seater dining table, one of the longest in the world and a key attraction of the palace, which served as the residence of Nizam, the ruler of erstwhile Hyderabad State. Built in 1893, the scorpionshaped, all marble palace with its opulent interiors and breathtaking views was converted into a hotel by the Taj Group about a decade ago.
Her visit to the old city might also include a sight-seeing trip to Charminar, the iconic symbol of Hyderabad and globally recognized monument, located about three km from Falaknuma and surrounded by densely populated neighborhoods and dingy lanes. An epitome of architectural marvel, Charminar with four distinct minarets, was built in 1591 by then ruler Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah to commemorate the founding of the city.
HYDERABAD: With less than a week left for Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), the Information Technology hub was getting decked up for the delegates from 150 countries, especially US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump. The roads, many of them battered in rains, are being recarpetted with municipal workers filling up potholes and covering the open manholes. Over 200 beggars were shifted to shelter homes in two jails. The officials, however, said they were already working for beggar-free city and the drive is not related to Trump’s visit.

The Bill was tabled in the lower house earlier this week after the state government modified some of its

India narrowly miss win vs SL
Riding Virat Kohli’s superlative 50th ton, India came tantalisingly close to a victory in first Test DEBAYAN MUKHERJEE, KOLKATA
R
iding skipper Virat Kohli’s superlative 50th international hundred, India came tantalizingly close to a victory but lack of time forced them to finish three wickets short and share the spoils with Sri Lanka on final day of the first Test at the Eden Gardens this week. Replying to India’s second innings score of 352/8 declared, the visitors were reeling at 75/7 chasing 231, when umpires Nigel Llong and Joel Wilson decided there was not enough light to continue the game. There were still 5.3 overs to be bowled before the mandatory overs could begin. Kohli led from the front on the final day with an unbeaten 104 off 119 balls that included 12 fours and two sixes to help India take a 230 run lead after initial jitters. It was the talsiamnic batsman’s 50th international hundred — 18th in Tests, 11th as skipper, and the first at the hallowed ground. Following up, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (4/8) and Mohammed Shami (2/34) bowled superbly to drag the islanders to the cusp of
Kohli jumps to 5th spot in Test rankings for batsmen DUBAI: India captain Virat Kohli replaced Australian opener David Warner to grab the fifth spot in the rankings for Test batsmen, while Ravindra Jadeja has slipped to the third position in the bowlers’ chart, it was announced this week. Virat Kohli completed his 50th international century in the first match of a three-Test series against Sri Lanka in Kolkata, which ended in
a draw on November 21. Kohli, who is top-ranked in both ODIs and T20Is, knocked up a fine 104 not out on the last day of the match. His compatriot Shikhar Dhawan has gained two places to reach the 28th position, while Cheteshwar Pujara, who scored a fine half-century on a green-top wicket at the Eden Gardens, occupies the fourth spot.
defeat. Coming to the crease at a time the hosts were struggling in the first session courtesy Suranga Lakmal’s devastating spell of swing bowling, Kohli held fort at one end milking all the bowlers around the park with equal severity. For Sri Lanka, Lakmal (3/93) and Dasun Shanaka (3/76) were the pick of the bowlers. Kohli was circumspect with Lakmal, who took his wicket in the first innings, initially before hitting the same bowler for a six to
bring up his ton, and equal Gavaskar’s feat of 11 Test centuries as skipper. The right-hander was given out lbw when he was batting on 72 off a Lakmal delivery but he asked for a review which showed bat first. At the other end, Ravichandran Ashwin (7), Wriddhiman Saha (5) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (8) could not add much to the total. Shanaka accounted for Ashwin and Saha while Lahiru Gamage (1/97) packed Bhuvneshwar back to the hut.

ndia assured themselves of five bronze medals in the AIBA womens World Youth Boxing Championships with local star Ankushita Boro, Shashi Chopra, Sakshi, Nitu and Jyoti cruising into the semi-finals this week. The other Indian on show in the morning session, Niharika Gonella, however missed out on her medal opportunity, bowing to the more accomplished and technically stronger Georgia O’Connor of England. America’s Heaven Garcia was the shock defeat of the day, losing to Kazakhstan’s Zhansaya Abdraimova in the flyweight category. Local favourite Ankushita was declared the winner over Rebecca Nicolli in the light-welter weight category. The win was especially sweet as she had lost to the Italian 0-5 in
The tourists started off disastrously, losing their top four batsmen for just 22 runs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed opener Sadeera Samarawickrama for a duck with Dimuth Karunaratne (1) following suit soon after, dragging a Mohammed Shami ball onto his stumps. First innings half centurion Lahiru Thirimanne (7) was taken at gully by Ajinkya Rahane off Bhuvneshwar's delivery. Angelo Mathews (12), who also batted well in the first innings scoring 52, did not survive a review after umpire Llong initially put his finger up to a lbw decision. Umesh Yadav was the bowler. Visiting captain Dinesh Chandimal (20 off 33; 3x4) and wicketkeeper-batsman Niroshan Dickwella (27) tried to stem the rot by stitching together a 47-run stand for the fifth wicket before Chandimal was castled by a 144 kmph Shami ripper.
Sofia, Bulgaria just a couple of months ago. Ankushita seemed disappointed with a split-decision victory but was delighted that she not only advanced but also got her revenge. “I never expected the bout to be tough. I was confident that I would win,” Ankushita said proudly, even as the packed stadium roared in appreciation. Jyoti began India’s march into the semi-finals beating Marchese Giovanna of Italy in the Flyweight category quarters.
ngland and Australia are all set to renew their traditional cricket rivalry when the two sides face off in the first of the five-match Ashes contest at the Gabba on November 23. Led by new captains in Joe Root and Steven Smith, both sides present largely youthful and uncertain batting orders but potent bowling line-ups. While Australia can boast of the pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins along side the skilful and durable off-spinner Nathan Lyon, England have their two greatest ever wicket-takers in James Anderson and Stuart Broad, but for now at least there is no Ben Stokes, the best performer in an otherwise horrid 2013-14 series. England, meanwhile will be aware that history is very much against them in their quest to
retain the famous urn following their 3-2 win in 2015. England have won just 23 of the 98 Tests they have played in Australia with the home side winning more than twice as many with 50 victories in all.
Two of the last three Ashes series Down Under have resulted in England being whitewashed 50 and the tourists have not won at the Gabba since 1986. Four Australian players — Smith, David Warner, Lyon, Hazlewood, Shaun Marsh and Starc — remain from the team that lost to England in the previous series in 2015 while England have six in former skipper Alastair Cook, Root, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Broad and Anderson. A large part of the outcome of the series will depend on the batting from both sides. England can look up to Cook's experience at the top of the order along with the skipper. On his fourth Ashes tour, Cook was dominant in 2010-11 but struggled against higher class bowling on his other two visits and started this one with a firstball duck in a Perth tour match.

Uber suffered huge data breach in 2016 Two individuals outside the firm inappropriately accessed data of nearly 57 million customers and drivers, admits CEO IANS, SAN FRANCISCO
I
n a startling revelation, ridehailing platform Uber has disclosed that two hackers “inappropriately accessed” names, email addresses and phone numbers of 57 million customers and drivers and the license numbers of around 600,000 drivers. In a blog post this week, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi revealed that the company in late 2016 became aware that two individuals outside the company had inappropriately accessed user data stored on a third-party cloud-based service that it uses. “The incident did not breach our corporate systems or infrastructure. However, the individuals were able to download files containing a significant amount of other information,” he posted.

‘Flowing’ water on Mars may be sand and dust: Study WASHINGTON: Dark features earlier proposed as evidence of liquid water flowing on Mars may actually be granular flows, where sand and dust move rather than liquid water, says a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience. It indicates that the water-restricted conditions that exist on Mars would make it difficult for Earth-like life to exist near the surface of the planet. The study is based on observations made with the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The researchers analyzed narrow, down-slope trending surface features on Mars that are darker than their surroundings, called Recurring Slope
Lineae, or RSL. These features have evoked fascination and controversy since their 2011 discovery, as possible markers for unexpected liquid water or brine on an otherwise dry planet. These RSL features grow incrementally, fade when inactive and recur annually during the warmest time of the year on Mars. RSL are mostly found on steep rocky slopes in the dark regions of Mars, such as the southern mid-latitudes, Valles Marineris near the equator and in Acidalia Planitia on the northern plains. The appearance and growth of these features resemble seeping liquid water, but how they form remains unclear, and this research demonstrated that the RSL flows seen are likely sand and dust.

One in four of those polled said they or a member of their household has had personal information stolen by hackers in the past 12 months, while 16 per cent said they or a family member has had their identity stolen in that same time bracket. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), an average 280,000 complaints each year were made against cyber crimes between 2000 and 2016.

Our outside forensics experts have not seen any indication that trip location history, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, Social Security numbers or dates of birth were downloaded,” Khosrowshahi posted. At the time of the incident, Uber took immediate steps to secure the data and shut down further unau-
thorized access by the individuals. “We subsequently identified the individuals and obtained assurances that the downloaded data had been destroyed. We also implemented security measures to restrict access to and strengthen controls on our cloud-based storage accounts,” the Uber CEO said. According to Forbes, Uber reportedly paid a high fee to secure its data.

ontinuing with its precedent of introducing a “T” variant — OnePlus 5 that came five months ago became the bestseller — 5T with a few hardware changes and no change in pricing makes OnePlus 5 almost obsolete. With 5T, the Chinese smartphone maker joins the bandwagon of bezelless smartphones with an 18:9 aspect ratio for immersive viewing and a taller-than-wider frame. Unlike OnePlus 3T that featured a faster
processor than OnePlus 3, OnePlus 5T uses the same Snapdragon 835 chipset as its predecessor. The device also comes with the same set of configurations and price
— 6GB RAM with 64GB onboard storage and 8GB RAM with 128GB internal storage for Rs 32,999 and Rs 37,999, respectively. The six-inch, full HD+ Samsungmade AMOLED display with slim bezels takes up most of the smartphone’s face. The slimmer bezels and soft navigation keys, in a footprint similar to OnePlus 5, are worth mentioning. At 401 pixels per inch (ppi), the device may not have the highest pixel density but that does not make the screen score any less than other flagships out there thanks to the AMOLED screen.

New smartphone app offers non-invasive test for diabetics IANS, LONDON
NEW YORK: A drug already in use to treat malaria and certain autoimmune diseases in pregnant women has shown promise in reducing transmission of Zika virus from mothers to their foetuses, according to a new study led by an Indian-origin researcher. The drug, Hydroxychloroquine, works by inhibiting autophagy, a process by which cells remove toxins and recycle damaged components to generate energy. Researchers showed that Zika virus may manipulate this process in the placenta to infect the developing foetus. In a study published online in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, the researchers, led by Indira Mysorekar from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, showed how the drug appeared to reduce transmission of Zika virus from pregnant mice to their foetuses. “Zika virus infection during pregnancy can lead to a devastating array of birth defects, including microcephaly, abnormal reflexes, epilepsy, and problems with vision, hearing and digestion,” said Catherine Spong, Deputy director of US National Institutes of Health’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), which funded the work. —IANS

ritish scientists have developed a new smartphone app that can help measure and monitor blood glucose levels without using a drop of blood, a finding that can transform lives of millions of people with diabetes. The app — called as Epic Health — replaces the need for diabetics to prick their fingers several times a day. The app, suitable for both Type 1 and 2 diabetics, works by placing a fingertip over the camera lens of a smartphone and capturing a series of close-up images that con-
vey information about the user’s heart rate, temperature and blood pressure to respiration rate and blood oxygen saturation, the researchers said. “The app uses a simple protocol which prompts the user to take a noninvasive test and
this allows us to capture the vital information in a systematic way which produces the most consistent results,” Dominic Wood, founder of the app, was quoted as saying to the express.co.uk. “This is a massive driver of prevention,” and even targets, “everyone yet to be diagnosed with or in the general risk of diabetes when it’s still preventable”, Wood added. Importantly, the Epic app can measure insulin resistance levels — a key way of determining whether someone is pre-diabetic. It does this by measuring the variation in the patient’s pulse which is related to blood glucose concentration.
harm to patients, the authors caution, “unfulfilled promises may bring regenerative medicine research and development into disrepute”. Their report calls for controls on advertising and international standards for the manufacture and testing of cell- and tissue-based therapies, similar to global drug quality standards set by the World Health Organization. “I am against advertisement of stem cell therapies,” S.G. Ananda Rao, a pioneer in stem cell research and founder trustee of Society of Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering in Mumbai, told this correspondent. “We have been combating this menace from 2004 onwards.” The group has also called for tighter regulation of stem cell tourism.

Fly to Britain to see ‘Padmavati’ Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much controversial movie ‘Padmavati’ will be released ‘uncut’ in the UK on December 1 IANS, NEW DELHI
E
ven as the British censors cleared the controversial film Padmavati for release on December 1, India's apex court said it will hear on November 28 a fresh plea seeking to block the release of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie outside India. A source close to the film's makers said Padmavati won't release anywhere on December 1 — its original release date which was deferred after the Indian censor board returned their application on grounds that it was incomplete. "We are not releasing the film anywhere on December 1," the source told IANS. A petitioner told the Supreme Court in New Delhi that "grave damage would be done to social harmony if the movie was allowed to be released abroad". According to the official website of the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC), Padmavati will be released "uncut" in the UK. But its

Assam’s actor Biju Phukan passes away GUWAHATI: Assam’s prominent film actor Biju Phukan passed away at a private hospital on November 22. Phukan, who was suffering from cardiac ailments for last few days, was admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Guwahati around 4.30 p.m on November 22. The doctors said he breathed his last around 6.15 p.m. “Phukan was suffering from breathing problems for last few days,” family sources said. —IANS
Too late for PM to stay silent: Shatrughan MUMBAI: Never one to mince words, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha feels it is “too late” for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to maintain silence on the blazing row over Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bollywood film Padmavati. “On some level, I can understand the silence of my colleagues in the BJP. After all what can they say when the miscreants and fringe elements
are given a free hand? Still I’d like to say it’s too late for our dynamic Prime Minister and the other high command to stay silent. “Padmavati is a raging issue. And the fringe elements are openly issuing threats. How can the high command keep quiet when goons are threatening to behead Bhansali and Deepika Padukone?” Shatrughan asked.
The makers are yet to secure a censor certificate in India, where CMs of at least four states have taken a stand against the release of the historical drama.
in key roles, the magnum opus tells the tale of Rani Padmavati, the legendary Mewar queen known for her beauty and intelligence as well as
courage, her husband Maharawal Ratan Singh, a Rajput warrior king who fought to defend his kingdom and wife's honor, and Sultan Alauddin Khilji. The movie, Bhansali says, is a tribute to the valour of legendary queen Padmavati. It is mired in controversy in India as Hindu groups backed by the BJP are up in arms against alleged "distortion of historical facts". Bhansali has repeatedly rebuffed the charges but has been receiving brickbats.
clear judicial direction. “Unfortunately, we are discussing about the controversy and waiting for the film to be screened.
It is so frustrating,” Deshpande said. The makers of the film have claimed that both IFFI director Sunit Tandon, as well as the Union Ministry for Information and Broadcasting have been dodging them over the issue of screening the film at the festival despite orders from the Kerala High Court. S Durga and Nude were controversially dropped by the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry from the screening schedule at the Indian Panorama section, despite the jury’s approval.
‘Modi must’ve played role in ‘Padmavati’ deferral’ NEW DELHI: The Shree Rajput Karni Sena this week said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, even though silent on the Padmavati row, must have had a role to play in the deferral of its release date from December 1.

Panda’s cameraperson Ramanuj Dutta captures the dry wasteland of a civilisation on the brink of extinction. There is a feeling of parched dread in the way the landscape is captured. And the skilfully selfeffacing Sanjay Mishra blends into the arid milieu as though born into it. Mishra’s performance, as well as the milieu captured on
camera, strike not a single false note. For all that Mishra cares, the camera may not be trained on him at all. He doesn’t act for the camera. Come to think of it, he doesn’t act for anybody. The same level of commitment is evident in Ranvir Shorey’s performance. He is a loan collector, the laconic family man from Orissa who is given the dirty job of recouping loan money from impoverished farmers. The bond that grows between Mishra and Shorey is based on inequality.

Richa Chadha almost lost Bholi Punjaban role
What Parineeti always wanted
A
ctress Parineeti Chopra says she always wanted to be a part of a mass entertainer and with her latest release Golmaal Again, she feels she has been able to entertain the audiences. Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again, distributed by Reliance Entertainment, minted over Rs 200 crore in India in 24 days since its release. “I do feel blessed to have been a part of this film. I have always wanted to be part of a mass entertainer and with Golmaal Again, I feel I have been able to entertain audiences which is the best feeling ever,” she told IANS. Parineeti, 29, says she is thrilled with the film’s response.
A
ctress Richa Chadha, who played Bholi Punjaban in Fukrey, says she had almost lost the role due to some miscommunication. Initially, Richa was misguided and misinformed about the character by someone, till she spoke to the casting director of the film Honey Trehan and
resolved the misunderstanding, read a statement. “I am glad Honey came to the rescue and connected me with Mrighdeep Singh Lamba (director) and Excel Entertainment (producers). Excel and I have a long association now and I love working with them. To think that this almost didn’t happen is scary in retrospect,” said Richa.
Style is about the way you feel: Alia Bhatt
A
ctress Alia Bhatt, known for making fashion statements at red carpet galas and for setting style trends through her movies, says it makes a difference to have a stylist, but a person’s look depends on how he or she feels. Alia has invested in the fashion-tech startup StyleCracker, a platform that connects users to leading stylists. “Style and fashion is not just about the way you look, it’s about the way you feel. What I liked about the platform is that it’s bridging the gap between the individual and the expert. You may have an inherent sense of style but may need some help to put it together,” Alia said in a statement.

We have this like unfailing protocol that exists between us,” Karan said. “The moment I see a film of his and I have not liked it and he has done the same,” he added.

Harjindar Singh beat to death
BY A STAFF WRITER ILWAUKEE, WI -- A shoplifter who beat to death an Indian American gas station attendant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with a baseball bat, has been sentenced to life in prison. A jury in September found 33-year-old Derrick Williams guilty of first-degree homicide in the January death of 34-year-old Harjinder Singh. Milwaukee County District Judge Jeffrey Wagner made Williams eligible to seek supervised release after 33 years in prison. The assailant had been charged with one count of first-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon, and habitual criminality repetition. Court documents indicate that on January 5 morning, Williams came into the BP gas station and mini-mart where Singh worked. He stole something from the shop and then fled on foot. Singh chased him on foot, wielding the baseball bat. At some point, the victim threw the bat at Williams and yelled, “don’t come back,” according to court documents. Singh then started walking back to the store. Williams picked up the bat, and ran after Singh. He admitted during his trial that he struck Singh four times with the bat. An autopsy revealed Singh suffered blunt force injuries to the head. His death was ruled a homicide.

Indian gubernatorial candidate in dock
Shri Thanedar
BY A STAFF WRITER ETROIT, MI -- Avomeen Holdings has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court in Detroit, Michigan, against Indian American gubernatorial candidate Shri Thanedar. Avomeen claimed Thanedar made fraudulent and misleading claims to inflate the value of a company he sold in 2016 that banked the candidate about $20 million. The parent company of Avomeen Holdings, High Street Capital, purchased a controlling stake in the Avomeen chemical testing business. The complaint alleges the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Democrat and entrepreneur misrepresented his company’s monthly income streams and personally directed employees to smooth over volatile revenue growth in the months leading up to the sale. Thanedar is also accused of instructing bookkeeping staff to back-date invoices so revenue could be recognized in prior months to suggest a more stable income stream. Attorneys allege he violated the federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Michigan Uniform Securities Act, the Delaware Securities Act, common law fraud and breach of contract.

According to an affidavit issued by the Richardson, Texas, Police Department, on October 6–the night before Sherin went missing–Sini and her husband Wesley, along with their biological child, went out to dinner at a restaurant about five miles away from their home, leaving the little special needs toddler at home alone for over an
R
Sini Mathew hour and a half. This placed “Sherin Mathews in imminent danger of death, bodily injury, or
physical or mental impairment,” wrote Det. J. Farmer, in Sini Mathews’ arrest warrant. Sini is being held on $250,000 bail. Using cell phone records, the police confirmed that the couple went out to dinner that evening and an itemized receipt showed they had purchased only one child’s meal. Even a restaurant waiter said only one child had been present. Sherin was left alone in the kitchen of the Mathews home. The little girl was adopted 17 months ago from an orphanage in Nalanda, Bihar. She was laid to rest at a private funeral in Texas. Wesley and his biological daughter did not attend the service.
BY A STAFF WRITER OCKY HILL, CT -An Indian American resident of Rocky Hill, Connecticut, was arrested last week and charged with felony injury to a minor, for driving with his unresponsive infant, for whom he neither sought nor provided medical attention. Divya Bharat Patel, 34, is being held at the Hartford, Connecticut Correctional Center, on bail of $1 million. The police said that the active investigation into the death of onemonth-old Aayan will attempt to establish whether his father had any role in his death. In such case, Divya Patel may face a murder charge. The Medical Examiner’s office had not released a cause of death for Aayan, as of November 20. On November 18 evening, Patel’s wife frantically called 911 to say Aayan was not breathing. She stated that the infant was with his father in a car parked outside the Residence Inn in Rocky Hill. The police arriving at the Residence Inn found the wife but not the father or his son. The mother told police Patel had taken off, with Aayan in his car. Rocky Hill police officers reached Patel by cell phone, but said in the arrest warrant that Patel was uncooperative and refused to tell officers where he was. Cellphone GPS information was used, which showed that Patel was driving around in Glastonbury, about 15 miles away, and in the Rocky Hill area. After 30 minutes, Patel returned to the Residence Inn and turned an unresponsive Ayaan over to Rocky Hill police officers, according to his arrest warrant. Officers provided first aid and emergency services transported Ayaan to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased. The Rocky Hill Police Department then turned the case over to the Connecticut State Police’s Major Crimes unit, for further investigation. CSP determined that Patel was aware that Ayaan had died and did not render first aid or seek emergency care, according to the arrest warrant. In addition, Patel was uncooperative and elusive when Rocky Hill officers tried to determine his location and render aid to Ayaan.

Vin Gopal’s electoral victory celebrated BY A STAFF WRITER n evening to celebrate Monmouth County small-business owner and newly-elected youngest state senator Vin Gopal was held on November 17 after the senator-elect won by more than 4,000 votes defeating long-time incumbent politician Jennifer Beck.

Rep. Maloney’s Bills to protect students BY A STAFF WRITER EW YORK, NY -- US Rep. Sean Maloney from New York has introduced a pair of Bills that promise to protect students while studying abroad. Maloney said that after working alongside Ros Thackurdeen, the mother of Indian American Ravi Thackurdeen who died while studying abroad in Costa Rica, he introduced the Bills. The American Students Abroad Act and Ravi Thackurdeen Safe Students Study Abroad Act would update reporting requirements on universities and the State Department to help families make better decisions about where their students study abroad. The younger Thackurdeen traveled to Costa Rica in 2012 for a study- abroad trip. While swimming as part of the program, he was placed at a beach, known by locals to be dangerous, pulled into the current and drowned. Since then Ros Thackurdeen, a resident of Newburgh, has worked alongside Elizabeth

‘India key market for robotic surgery’ With over 50 surgical robots present, about 700 surgeries a month are conducted currently in the country RACHEL V. THOMAS, PANAJI
W
US-based Vattikuti Foundation aims to install 100 robots for robotic-assisted surgeries across India by 2018. (Photo: IANS)
ith the aim of installing 200 more robots and reach over 20,000 roboticassisted surgeries per year by 2020, US-based Vattikuti Foundation is set to make India the second largest market for robotic surgery in the world after the US, said the nonprofit’s top executive this week. “India today has tremendous potential and much talent, across all domains specially in the medical field,” Raj Vattikuti, Founder and President of Vattikuti Foundation — a not-for-profit promoting robotic surgeries across the world, including in India — told IANS. He was speaking at the two-day bi-annual “Robotic Surgeons Council”, organized by the foundation.
New global effort to end TB by 2030 IANS, GENEVA
D
elegates from 114 countries have agreed to take urgent action to end tuberculosis (TB) by 2030, the WHO said. The announcement this week came as the delegates gathered in Moscow for the first WHO global ministerial conference on ending tuberculosis, Xinhua news agency reported. The delegates promised to achieve strengthen health systems and improve access to the people regarding TB prevention and care so that no one is left behind.
They also agreed to mobilize sufficient and sustainable financing through increased domestic and international investments to
close gaps in implementation and research. Resources are expected to advance research and development of new tools to diagnose, treat and prevent TB, and to build accountability through a framework to track and review progress on ending TB. “Today marks a critical landmark in the fight to end TB,” said World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “It signals a long overdue global commitment to stop the death and suffering caused by this ancient killer,” he added.

One-fifth of cancer survivors suffer from PTSD: Study KUALA LUMPUR: Nearly one-fifth of patients with cancer experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), finds a study published in the journal Cancer highlighting the need for early identification, careful monitoring and treatment of PTSD in cancer survivors. Although PTSD is primarily known to develop in individuals following a traumatic event such as a serious accident or natural disaster, it can also occur in patients who are diagnosed with cancer.
“Many cancer patients believe they need to adopt a ‘warrior mentality’, and remain positive and optimistic from diagnosis through treatment to stand a better chance of beating cancer. To these patients, seeking help for the emotional issues they face is akin to admitting weakness,” said Caryn Mei Hsien Chan, from the National University of Malaysia.
Antibiotic resistance: ‘Bad bugs, no drugs’ turn real GOKUL BHAGABATI, NEW DELHI
W
ith the growth of antibiotic resistance already complicating treatments for several diseases in India, including common urinary tract infections, the country appears to be in an advanced position to immerse itself in the ignominy of the fastarriving post-antibiotic world in which even common infections would once again become incurable. Antibiotic resistance, a global threat to health and well-being of people, is part of a bigger problem called antimicrobial resistance
(AMR). It refers to the ability of a microorganism (like bacteria, viruses, and some parasites) to stop an antimicrobial (such as antibiotics and antivirals) from working against it. As a result, standard treatments become ineffective, infections persist and may spread to others, according to WHO. Each year, drug-resistant infections kill around 700,000 people worldwide, and by 2050, the figure could increase to 10 million, according to an estimate. In India, the problem of antibiotic resistance is even more as the country bears a huge burden of infectious diseases.
“The tropical wet and dry climate of India provides suitable conditions for proliferation of bacterial diseases,” Rajeshwari Sinha from Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) said. “This, along with largely unsanitary conditions, limited infection prevention and control, poor environmental regulations and practice, and inadequate health systems allows more diseases,” Sinha added. With easy availability of cheaply priced antibiotics overthe-counter (without prescription), there is growing antibiotic use and consumption to quickly tackle
these infections leading to antibiotic resistance. “‘Bad bugs, no drugs’ is turning into reality. There is a surge in patients with multidrug resistant bacteria both on outpatient and inpatient basis,” said Monica Mahajan, Associate Director, Internal Medicine, Max Healthcare.
