New Delhi (IANS): The Congress on Thursday came out in solidarity with former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who has been summoned by a Delhi court in a case relating to the allocation of coal blocks, describing him as a man of "integrity" who enjoys the party's "unstinting support".

Congress president Sonia Gandhi personally led a march from the party headquarters here to Manmohan Singh's residence to express solidarity.

"We are outraged at the news of summons being served on former prime minister Manmohan Singh...

He is known for his integrity and probity not only in the country but across the world. We are here to offer our unstinting support to Manmohan ji," she told reporters.

A special court conducting the coal block allocation case here on Wednesday summoned Manmohan S i n g h , i n d u s t r i a l i s t Ku m a r Mangalam Birla and former coal secretary P.C. Parakh, terming the case a "criminal conspiracy" with the objective to "do an illegal act".

Manmohan Singh, on his part, said he was "more than pleased and grateful" by the show of support.

"The Congress party, Sonia-ji and all members of the working committee and senior leaders have

come to my residence, expressed solidarity with me and that we will fight this case to the best of our ability," he said.

Senior Congress leader and former union minister Anand Sharma said nobody could question Manmohan Singh's transparency and honesty and that truth shall prevail.

"The Congress party is with Manmohan Singh-ji and the party is not going to bow to any situation...

We have full faith that in this case too the truth will prevail," Sharma said.

Congress leader and former defence minister A.K. Antony, who was part of the march, said they

were sure that Singh Manmohan will come out clean.

Jyotiraditya Scindia, a Congress MP from Madhya Pradesh, said: "We express our solidarity with the exprime minister. We are very confident that he will emerge clean, something that he remained during his public life."

Former union finance minister P. Chidambaram said: "The CBI is an investigative arm of the government.

The CBI has twice said that there is no charge and no ground to take criminal action and now the government should come and say that they stand by the CBI report.

Why is the government reluctant to

say that?" Another former union minister, Kapil Sibal said: "Will defend former prime minister Manmohan Singh with all our might.

Personally, I am saddened by the move, but we respect court orders."

Meanwhile, the BJP said not just an individual but the entire Congress party should take responsibility for the coal block allocation case in which Manmohan Singh has been summoned by a special court here.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said: "It is not the question of questioning the integrity of Manmohan Singh ji. It is the question of responsibility and failure of not taking action."

"Manmohan Singh... will give his version but at the same time the Congress needs to explain to the country how these things have happened. It should take the responsibility (of the coal block allocation case) and not just an individual alone," he said.

Minister of State for the Development of the North Eastern Region Minister Jitendra Singh said: "I would simply say... all of us should have the courage to accept the verdict in course of law. The world knows that India has one of the best c o n s t i t u t i o n s a n d a ny t h i n g contradicting it would amount to disrespect to the legal system."

Insurance bill secures parliamentary approval

New Delhi (IANS): Marking a major milestone in the government's reform programme -- and despite opposition protests, parliamentary approval was on Thursday accorded to the insurance law amendment bill, with the Rajya Sabha adopting the measure seeking a hike in the foreign equity cap on domestic companies from 26 percent to 49 percent.

Formally called the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, the measure -- which seeks to replace an ordinance that was promulgated during the inter-session period -has been passed by the Lok Sabha on March 4.

While the bill had secured easy approval in the Lok Sabha, its passage in the upper house, where the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) does not enjoy majority, was the crucial test.

The legislation seeks to raise foreign investment cap to 49 percent in the sector. While up to 26 percent foreign capital will be under the automatic route, the balance 23 percent has to secure approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).

The Left parties questioned the need for a hike in the FDI limit. Members opposing the bill also pointed to the minuscule claims rejection rate of the

Earlier on Thursday, the Rajya Sabha took up discussion on the bill after initial reservations from the opposition benches about an identical bill remaining pending with the house.

As the bill was tabled, Communist Party of IndiaMarxist's P. Rajeeve said a select committee of the upper house has already given a report on an older version of the bill and the new bill that has been brought was identical in nature.

"If we take up the bill, what happens to the select committee report? Are we ready to dilute the powers of the council of states," he asked.

Deputy Chairman P.J. Kurien, however, ruled that there was nothing in the rule book or the constitution that could prevent the government from bringing the bill but added that the situation was "unprecedented".

The issue was, however, sorted later after the house was adjourned for half an hour for discussions, after which the bill was taken up.

The salient features of the bill are: * Public sector general insurance companies would be allowed to raise

SAARC Yatra marks incremental movement with Pakistan: Experts New Delhi (IANS): Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar's fournation SAARC Yatra has given a fillip to India's outreach to neighbours, more so with Pakistan, say experts.

Starting March 1, Jaishankar visited Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, spending a day in each country, in the first phase of his journey to the eight-nation South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations.

Former diplomat Sheel Kant Sharma, who served as secretary general of SAARC, says the trip was a "very good move", especially as the last SAARC summit took place in November in Nepal with the general understanding that members would work to strengthen the South Asian bloc.

"And India has taken the initia-

tive to again meet and talk to people and activate the whole SAARC paradigm. In that sense it is good," Sharma told IANS. He said that with Pakistan being the next chair of SAARC, "it is incumbent on Pakistan to also be constructive so that their summit will be successful next year".

"When Pakistan was the chair in 2004, we managed to sign the SAFTA (South Asian Free Trade Area), sign the SAARC social charter, lots of big steps were taken at the Islamabad summit.

"I feel that the initiative (to send Jaishankar) is very good and it will activate people to think about next year and prepare for it so that some big steps are taken."

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is chair of the parliamentary standing committee on external

affairs, said the SAARC yatra "is a very good initiative".

"It is very important that we develop and maintain close relations with our immediate neighbours, and to do this early in the tenure is a very valuable indication of the priorities the foreign secretary attaches to our relations with neighbours," Tharoor told IANS. "Second, to also speak to Pakistan where our dialogue process has been stalled for some time could indeed be valuable, provided indeed that the results of the visit, I don't know what the results are, but my gut instinct is that this was a trip in which there may or may not have been talks about talks," he said.

Former Indian envoy to Pakistan G. Parthasarathy told

IANS that the shots in Pakistan were called by the army, and thus the movement forward in SAARC and bilateral ties can only be incremental.

"Let's be real. Pakistan has a government which cannot deliver, the policies are run by the army...

"Even diplomacy and world leaders from China, to the British, to the Americans, do business with (army chief) Raheel Sharif as though he is the National Security Adviser and the foreign minister of Pakistan," he said.

"What we can do is look for incremental movement forward," he said, adding Jaishankar was likely to have suggested to his Pakistani counterpart Aizaz Chowdhury a meeting between the directors general of military operations

(DGMOs) and the border security force commanders of the two countries.

"Now Pakistan has to make a choice - does it want it or doesn't it?"

Parthasarathy recalled then Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's pledge that territory with Pakistan would not be used for terrorism against India.

"I don't think (Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif is prepared to reiterate that commitment nor is Raheel Sharif. So, incremental movement forward, yes."

The SAARC Yatra was a "good thing because right now everybody, led by the Americans, are blaming us for not engaging (with Pakistan)", he said.

"So we're telling the world we are engaging the whole region, not just Pakistan."

Britain opens deputy high commission in Chandigarh Chandigarh (IANS): Given the presence of a strong Punjabi community in Britain, a new deputy high commission (DHC) was opened in Chandigarh on Wednesday.

The DHC was inaugurated by British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond.

"We're determined to invest in our strategic partnerships around the world to boost cultural

and commercial links and promote shared security interests," Hammond said in his address at the inaugural event.

Britain has its high commission in Delhi and deputy high commissions in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai. It also has a trade office in Pune and a tourist information office in Goa.

Hammond said that Britain and India had great scope to further strengthen ties on the trade and other fronts.

"The fact that we are opening a new deputy high commission in Chandigarh speaks of our belief in India's future.

And it speaks of our desire to play a prominent partnership role with India's states, where so much of India's story is written," he said.

Pakistan has more nukes than India, shows new infographic Washington (IANS): Pakistan had about 120 atomic weapons, 10 more than India, in its nuclear arsenal last year, according to a new interactive infographic unveiled by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Designed by the Bulletin, founded in 1945

by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, the infographic tracks the

number and history of nuclear weapons in the nine nuclear weapon states.

The Nuclear Notebook Interactive Infographic provides a visual representation of the Bulletin's famed Nuclear Notebook, which since 1987 has tracked the number and type of the world's nuclear arsenals.

Having reached a peak of over 65,000 in the late 1980s, the number of nuclear warheads has

dropped significantly to a little over 10,000, but more countries now possess them, it shows.

According to the infographic, the United States and Russia both have about 5,000 weapons each.

France has 300, China 250, the United Kingdom 225 and Israel 80. North Korea has only conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.

Reliance Industries is top Indian company on asset base New Delhi (IANS): Mumbai-based conglomerate Reliance Industries Ltd. heads the list of India's top 10 companies ranked in terms of their asset base as on March 31, 2014, parliament was informed on Tuesday.

In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Corporate Affairs Minister Arun Jaitley said Reliance Industries with an asset base of Rs.3,67,583 crore was ranked No.1 in the country.

The other companies in the top 10 in their ranking order are: Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (Rs.2,52,413.78 crore), Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (Rs.2,25,757.39 crore), Power Finance Corporation Ltd.

(Rs.1,94,164.10 crore), NTPC Ltd. (Rs.1,79,554.18 crore), Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd. (Rs.1,52,852.90 crore), Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (Rs.1,39,589.07 crore), LIC Housing Finance Ltd. (Rs.95,777.02 crore), Steel Authority of India Ltd. (Rs.91,961.89 crore) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (Rs.89,333.44 crore).

The total reported value of the assets of the 4,15,886 companies that filed their balance sheets for March 31, 2014 till November 30, 2014 was Rs.117.08 lakh crore, and the share of the top 10 companies in the total value of assets was 15.3 percent on March 31, 2014.

many of these weapons there are in the world," said Rachel Bronson, executive director of the Bulletin.

"The Interactive is a way to see, immediately, who has nuclear weapons and when they got them, and how those numbers relate to each other. It is a startling experience, looking at those comparisons."

The authors of the Nuclear Notebook are Hans M. Kristensen and

Robert S. Norris, both with the Federation of American Scientists.

In the most recent edition of the Nuclear Notebook, the authors discuss the Notebook's 28 year history and describe how sometimes host countries learned of foreign nuclear weapons on their soil from the Nuclear Notebook.

Over 28 years of weapons analysis, the Nuclear Notebook column has revealed sur-

prise nuclear activity and spot-on arsenal estimates while becoming a daily resource for scholars, activists and journalists.

"We wanted a way to communicate those numbers visually, because the world we live may be data-driven, it's also visual," said John Mecklin, editor of the Bulletin.

"The new infographic makes this vital information even more accessible."

30 years on, Chandigarh's car bazaar doesn't have permanent home

Chandigarh (IANS): Thousands of people may have driven out of Chandigarh's Sunday car bazaar with their newlyacquired possessions in the past three decades, but the well-known used car market of the region is still looking to park itself in a permanent space to carry out its business.

Car dealers operating from the parking space of the Sector 7 market on Madhya Marg (central street), the city's busiest of roads, are opposing a move by local authorities to auction sites for the Sunday car market.

The car dealers have made it clear that they will neither allow the auction of parking space nor will participate in it till the Chandigarh Administration provides them a suitable and permanent site to ply their trade.

From the basic Maruti 800s to the flashy BMWs, Mercedes, Audis and Pajeros, the Sunday car bazaar has nearly 1,000 vehicles on sale.

Every week, over 100 used cars are sold by the 43 dealers operating from there.

The Sunday car bazaar, touted to be among the biggest in northern India, attracts hundreds of cars and buyers from the region comprising Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and

Chandigarh. Held only on Sundays, it sees a lot of business happening.

On week days, the area is used for parking vehicles whose owners either visit the market or have their offices there.

"Many car dealers have been running their business from the same site for the past nearly 30 years. The authorities should either allot us a permanent site or we will continue our business from here itself," Gulshan Kumar, president of the Car Bazaar Dealer Association, told IANS. "The traders have worked hard to establish the car bazaar, which has now become the biggest bazaar of north India.

Now the MC (municipal corporation) wants to throw out the traders, some of whom are 60 or 70 years old. This is unjustified and cruel," Gulshan Kumar contended.

The second hand car dealers are opposing the move by the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation to auction the parking sites for the Sunday car bazaar.

Nearly 60 sites are proposed to be auctioned.

But the corporation thinks differently.

Bus passes for students now in Punjab schools, colleges Chandigarh (IANS): Students in schools and colleges in Punjab now need not stand in long queues at bus stands to get their monthly bus passes made or renewed.

The Punjab transport department on Monday announced its decision to make bus passes of school and college students in their own institutions.

"The new scheme would be operational from the commencement of the new academic session starting

from April 1," Punjab Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) managing director Manjit Singh Narang said on Monday.

He said teams of PRTC officials would visit schools and colleges and issue the passes to students.

He said orders have already been given to the general managers of Patiala, Sangrur, Kapurthala, Bathinda, Budhladha, Ludhiana, Faridkot and Chandigarh divisions to implement the new scheme.

"Since the auction amount will eat into the profit margins of the car dealers, they are making all this noise.

They were using the public parking space free of cost for so many years. Only a few years back, they were levied a charge for doing commercial activity from the area.

They should now buy the sites in the auction," a senior municipal corporation officer, requesting anonymity, told IANS. The car dealers were levied a fee by the local authorities over a decade back for using public parking space for commercial purposes. The Sunday car bazaar dealers now pay over Rs.60 lakh to the corporation

annually for their commercial activity.

Owners of showrooms in the market had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking that the car bazaar be shifted elsewhere

In 2009, the Chandigarh Administration had identified a five-acre plot of land in Chandigarh's Hallomajra

area for shifting the car bazaar. However, most dealers had refused to move from the Sector 7 site, which is in the heart of the city, to the new site saying that it would affect their business.

Punjab Police crack Rs.1.34 crore bank cash van heist Chandigarh (IANS): Claiming that they had cracked the daring broad-daylight bank cash van heist of Rs.1.34 crore near Mohali town, Punjab Police on Wednesday said all eight people accused in the sensational crime, including an engineering graduate, were arrested.

Police also claimed that over Rs 1.28 crore was recovered from the gang that com-

mitted the crime on Monday.

"Punjab Police today (Wednesday) cracked one of the biggest robberies of the region within 36 hours by arresting all the eight accused and recovering almost total amount (Rs.1,28,70,000) robbed by them," Inspector General of Police-Patiala zonal Paramjit Singh Gill told media persons at Mohali, 10 km from here.

The cash van of Axis Bank was waylaid by the gang, which was following it in a stolen Fortuner SUV, between villages Mauli and Saneta on March 9 while the van was going to deliver cash to various branches of the bank in Mohali district.

Gill said the gang was traced after police received information that some suspected elements, equipped

with firearms and other weapons, were planning some big loot.

The search parties cornered them in village Rurki Kalan and nabbed four criminals.

These included Ranpreet Singh Rana, a B.Tech graduate, Joginder Singh, Talwinder Singh and Lakhwinder Singh with weapons and ammunition. A Hyundai I-20 car was

also recovered from them.

Four other accomplices of these criminals, however, managed to escape from there in another car. Police chased them and nabbed them near the Sector 38-west grain market in Chandigarh.

Investigations by police revealed that Rana was the mastermind of the cash van looting. The gang had snatched the Fortuner SUV

from a person in Sohana area of Mohali district on March 4 to carry out the heist.

"After committing the loot, the gang abandoned the Fortuner in Banur area and split up to dodge the police.

They again assembled in Chandigarh and divided the looted amount," Gill said.

Police officials said all gang members had a criminal past.

Ludhiana gang rape: Second of three accused arrested Ludhiana (IANS): Police here on Tuesday said the second of the three accused in the gang rape of a 21-year-old woman has been arrested.

Sunny was among the three accused in the gang rape of the woman. Police had arrested the first

accused, Badal, on Monday.

Police said a hunt was on to nab the third accused, Monu.

The woman was abducted by the accused in their car late on Saturday night from Rajguru Nagar as she was walking back home.

The woman, who hails from

Punjab lists martial art Gatka as sport

Himachal Pradesh, works as a house-keeping staff at a five-star hotel here.

Two of the accused, according to the woman, took turns to rape her while the third, who drove the car when the crime was being committed, had bitten her.

The woman told police that the accused had threatened her into submission to rape by saying she would meet the same fate as the December 16, 2012, Delhi gang rape victim if she resisted.

While Badal belongs to Ludhiana in Punjab, Sunny and Monu hail

from neighbouring Haryana.

Police investigation has revealed that all three had a criminal past in petty crimes like looting and snatching.

Police identified the accused from the description given by the woman.

NOW SERVING YOU FROM OUR NEW, BIGGER & BETTER LOCATION IN SURREY Chandigarh (IANS): To promote the traditional martial art of Gatka, Punjab has accorded recognition to it as a game, a government spokesman said on Monday.

Gatka has been enlisted as a game in the gradation list of recognised sports enlisted in the state sports policy.

The move to include Gatka as a game was welcomed by parliamentarian and World Gatka Federation president Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and Asian Gatka Federation president S.P. Singh Oberoi.

Gatka promoters said it was a long pending demand of Gatka players to enlist this age-old sport in the gradation list of recognised games so that the players could avail all facilities being provided to other games and players, including reservation of three percent quota in all posts and admissions.

Dhindsa said the Gatka federations were managing, standardising, promoting and reviving Gatka, a martial art for combat and self defence, as a game in the country.

Severest punishment to acid attack offenders: Punjab CM Chandigarh (IANS): While claiming that the Punjab government would come down heavily on those involved in acid attacks in the state, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday said the severest punishment would be sought for offenders involved in a recent such attack on a class 12 student in

Gurdaspur district.

Condemning the acid attack on the schoolgoing girl in Gurdaspur on Wednesday, Badal announced monetary compensation of Rs.3 lakh for her.

He said the entire expenses on the victim's treatment would be borne by the state govern-

ment.

The student, Rajinder Kaur, got burn injuries when acid was thrown at her while she was returning home after appearing for her class 12 board examination.

The assailants, who had covered their faces, are yet to be arrested.

"The state government would initiate every step to ensure that exemplary punishment is awarded to the accused involved in such dastardly act.

"Such offenders does not deserve leniency and they would be dealt with as per the law of land by meting out the severest of the severe punish-

ment to them so that it could act as a deterrent for others too," Badal said in a statement here.

The Punjab government has already decided to give a special chance to the girl to appear in class 12 examinations to ensure that her result also declared with the rest of the class.

most popular Bollywood blockbusters, starring actors such as Saif in films like "Cocktail" and "Love Aaj Kal".

"My family and I have a deep connection with Britain that spans everything from cricket to culture and education. A number of family holidays across Britain, watching my father and grandfather play cricket at famous cricketing grounds like the Lords, and of course studying there, has created a bond for me with the place that is unlike my relationship with any other country.

"I think there is so much that Britain has to offer a visitor - from breathtaking countryside, to shared history; the finest in cul-

ture that’s so interwoven with our own in many ways, food to thrill any gourmet, theatre, museums, music, festivals and more.

This is why Bollywood has so favoured Britain as a destination and the itinerary that takes visitors on a route of Bollywood’s location favorites is sure to delight,� Saif said in a statement.

According to Sumathi R a m a n a t h a n , VisitBritain’s regional manager for Asia Pacific and Middle East, Britain welcomed over 375,000 visitors from India in 2013 -- a 10 percent increase from the previous year -making India the biggest source market for visitor numbers from the BRIC

markets.

Therefore, the need to create bespoke campaigns that appeal to the Indian visitors is a priority for VisitBritain.

The 'Bollywood Britain' campaign, showcasing romance, enables Indian visitors to discover and explore more of Britain including the cities and countryside locations. “At VisitBritain, we are delighted to have Saif as our spokesperson for the campaign. His films set in Britain, particularly in the romantic genre, have inspired many Bollywood fans and as a frequent visitor to Britain, Saif is a genuine and passionate advocate of the destination,� said Ramanathan.

Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $22,495 the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 is a sedan that customers will be proud to own, at a value they will appreciate.

The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler.” The grille and headlamps are integrated for the first time and the updated Chrysler badge has an emphasis on the wing, which is more defined. The signature light pipe or available full-LED daytime running lamps (DRL), LED fog lamps and standard LED tail lamps give the all-new Chrysler 200 a distinctive, recognizable look coming and going.

The interior of the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan provides the “wow” factor.

Exquisitely crafted with highquality materials and attention to detail, the 2015 200 sedan’s interior is inviting and comfortable and rewards drivers and passengers on commutes as well as longer journeys.

The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan features interior trim and materials that are well-crafted, pleasing to the eye, soft to the touch and comprised of high-quality materials. Attention to detail is paramount and attractive components offer world-class levels of fit and finish.

A segment-first standard nine-speed automatic transmission and world-class engines, including the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine with a best-in-class 295 horsepower, add up to an enjoyable, spirited driving experience in the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200. An available, innovative, state-ofthe-art all-wheel-drive system

includes a “sport” driving mode and delivers excellent performance in all driving conditions. With a world-class architecture and leading-edge technology, the new Chrysler 200 is engineered to exceed customer expectations in every category.

Two world-class engine choices power the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan. The proven, award-winning 3.6litre Pentastar V6 generates a best-in-class 295 horsepower as well as 262 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 offers an available best-inclass all-wheel-drive system, which features a segment-first fully disconnecting rear axle that improves fuel economy by operating in front-wheeldrive when all-wheel-drive is not needed. The all-wheeldrive system features a onespeed power transfer unit (PTU) and uniquely disconnects and reconnects the rear axle – automatically and seamlessly – as needed and at any speed. The disconnecting rear axle disconnects at both the PTU and rear drive module, which improves fuel economy by reducing parasitic loss when all-wheel drive is not needed.

Owners of the new Chrysler 200 will appreciate an innovative rotary e-shift dial that replaces the traditional con-

sole shifter. The rotary e-shift enables intuitive operation with a direct and confident feel. The convenient, centremounted, easy-to-operate system provides total control of the sophisticated nine-speed transmission. This new design allows easy shifting and also yields space for more functional and usable storage in the centre console.

The 2015 Chrysler 200’s chassis was engineered to deliver sporty European handling dynamics and steering precision with ride and comfort characteristics tuned for North American roads, resulting in excellent handling for the driver with maximum comfort for both the driver and passengers.

The exceptional balance of fun-to-drive dynamics, ride comfort and emergency handling is accomplished through the suspension bushing tuning and the exceptional body structure, including the front aluminum cradle; rear upper/under body structure reinforcement and superior suspension attachment stiffness.

The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 is the most aerodynamic vehicle in its class, aiding improved fuel economy, onroad dynamics, and reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

Sushant on how Dibakar framed him in kissing scene ACTOR Sushant Singh Rajput, who shares a kissing scene with his co-star Swastika Mukherjee in the period drama "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!", says director Dibakar Banerjee played a "game" with him for the scene.

"Dibakar (Banerjee) played a good game with me which eventually turned bad for me. He instructed me about a scene and I got ready for it, but I didn't know that Angoori Devi (the character) was going to kiss me in that scene," Sushant, who had earlier kissed actresses Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Kapoor on screen, said here.

He says that usually he tells his girlfriend Ankita Lokhande about a film's script "so that she is mentally prepared" for whatever he needs to do.

But in the case of "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!", the director kept the kissing scene a secret.

"I was also not prepared for it. But the interesting thing is that even Byomkesh Bakshy (the character) in the film didn't know about it. So, the first take happened and I reacted the way I was sup-

posed to react as the character, and Dibakar got his take. He didn't tell me and pretended as if he also didn't know about it," added the actor.

He even said that despite getting his

perfect shot, Banerjee made him give six more takes.

"He asked for a few more takes. I did six more takes and then called Ankita to tell her that she does not need to worry as nothing of that sort has happened," Sushant revealed here on Monday at the second trailer launch of the film.

But it was upon seeing the film's trailer that he "saw the kiss".

"I looked at Dibakar and was like 'What is this?' So this is how he played such a game with me," he added.

Based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's well-known and successful fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshy, "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!" is a contemporary interpretation of Calcutta (now Kolkata) during the 1940s. It is an adventure thriller mired in deep political intrigue. It is slated to release April 3. (IANS)

Always Bollywood over Hollywood for Big B

MEGASTAR Amitabh Bachchan, who unveiled the trailer for "Broken Horses" along with Aamir Khan here on Tuesday, says that if given an opportunity to choose between an Indian and a Hollywood film, he would pick the former.

"If I get an opportunity to choose a film between Hollywood and and an Indian film, then I will choose our country's film," Amitabh, who featured in Hollywood film "The Great Gatsby", told reporters during the trailer launch of "Broken Horses".

Aamir echoed the same sentiment.

Adding to this, Aamir said: "My relation with my country is very deep and that will never fade away. I will not leave my country. If at all I like a Hollywood subject film, I will do it. But emotionally I am very rooted."

For Aamir, language is not an issue.

"For me, the language is not important, but the creative material has to excite me. Yes, I should know the language and the story has to be exciting."

He says offers have come along from the West, but "of whatever scripts I have got from abroad, nothing excited me".

Both Amitabh and Aamir looked happy and cheerful during the launch of the trailer of "Broken Horses", produced, directed and written by filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

The film features Maria Valverde, Thomas Jane, Anton Yelchin, Vincent D'Onofrio among others.

Set in the shadows of the USMexico border gang wars, "Broken Horses" is an epic thriller about the bonds of brotherhood, laws of loyalty, and the futility of violence.

The film, to release on April 10, has been co-written by Chopra and Abhijat Joshi. (IANS)

Wild Tales (PG)****

Chaotic situations make for strange bedfellows in Wild Tales.

Strange behaviour is not just confined to the animal kingdom as this Academy award nominated effort from Mongrel Media and Sony Pictures Classics so ably demonstrates.

Lapses in judgment and human frailties provides

plenty of ammunition in this smart tale of transgressions now delivering a one two creative punch at select Cineplex Odeon arenas across B.C. Saucy fun of a fiendish kind unravels in this

drama that is actually a blend of 5 carefully crafted scenarios. Among the mix are encounters with road rage involving two lead-footed speeders, a wicked last meal rites, parking woes, a car accident, a wedding gone

movie. Without question the opening montage of mixed up / messed up flyers will have folks rolling in the aisles.

Unfortunately the other glimpses into people on the edge never lives up to the inspiring opening.

wrong and a bumpy plane ride.

Anyone who has ever encountered trouble with the law, figures of authority or misplaced /misguided love (rs) will feel right at home with this

Being able to live vicariously through the lives of others gives Wild Tales its soul and gravitas. Told in Spanish with English subtitles good acting makes this film highly watchable.

"If your vitamin D level is below 50 or over 100 nanomol per litre, there is a greater connection to deaths," said Peter Schwarz, professor at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

"We have looked at what caused the death of patients, and when numbers are above 100, it appears that there is an increased risk of dying from a stroke or a coronary," Schwarz added.

It is thought that one criminal group alone is responsible for sales in the millions over the past four years. The tickets are very authentic looking and are often sold through sites like Craigslist. The sellers have plausible stories, like they are selling on behalf of their moms. They give contact numbers; unfortunately, they use pay as you go phones that are tossed once the event wraps up.

Police have a number of suspects in these cases. Unfortunately, it is rare that victims come forward in these cases, making prosecutions almost impossible. If you recognize these individuals, or have information on suspected ticket fraudsters, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Both films were led by female stars and I think those kind of films are changing trends,” she added.

The actress was in the capital to promote her film “NH 10”, releasing March 13.

Directed by Navdeep Singh, the film is co-produced by Phantom Films and Eros International.

This is Anushka's debut production venture and it also stars Neil Bhoopalam and Darshan Kumar.

Anushka feels that it's time that films should be remembered for stories and not for stars.

“I don't think a film should be known as male or female centric, but for the story. That would be really nice and viable too.

I think this film ('NH10') could have been done equally well by anybody else and it's not female or male centric film. It's the story that will appeal to the audience,” she said.

"NH10" is based on a young couple, Anushka and Neil, whose road trip

goes awry after an encounter with a group of violent criminals. (IANS)

Hrithik to endorse instant fairness face wash for men

ACTOR Hrithik Roshan will soon be seen in TV commercials promoting an instant fairness face wash for men by one of India's leading FMCG companies, a statement said on Monday.

Emami Limited has roped in superstar Hrithik Roshan as one of the brand ambassadors for the 'Fair and Handsome' line of products, a Rs.235 crore power brand and a category creator, a statement from the company said.

The popular actor will be endorsing the 'Instant

Fairness Face Wash' which was launched in February.

"With this, Hrithik becomes the second celebrity to join the Fair and Handsome portfolio after

eight long years since Shah Rukh Khan first started endorsing the brand," the release said.

"In the Indian summer, however tough men may be, it is but natural for men's skin to be overexposed to sunlight, sweat, oil and dirt due to the strenuous demands of the present day environment," Hrithik said in the statement.

"I experience them regularly as my shoots take me outdoors, ruthlessly exposing my skin to these elements," he said.

Sunny Leone to guest star in 'Aahat'

The actor said the face wash gives him a "refreshed feel and an instantly brighter look and I am glad the brand is putting

emphasis on this aspect."

Hrithik's association with the brand would be supported by a 360 degree integrated communication.

A television commercial featuring the actor, developed by Vox Parables and directed by Vishal Vij will go live on air soon. (IANS)

Rape charges dropped for Bangladesh cricket hero Rubel Dhaka (IANS): Bangladesh cricket star Rubel Hossain got good news along with his match-winning heroics on Monday at the World Cup as a Bangladeshi actress who filed a rape case against him said on Tuesday she was withdrawing the charges against the medium

pacer.

Naznin Akter Happy, 19, made the rape allegation earlier this year after claiming that Rubel had reneged on a promise of marriage that he made while they were having an "intimate affair", reports Xinhua.

The allegation had threatened

to scupper Rubel's chances of appearing in the World Cup after he was remanded in custody by a court in Dhaka.

But he was later granted bail until the end of the World Cup in view of "national interest" as he was a key member of Bangladesh's team.

Happy said she had decided to forgive her former boyfriend who starred in a dramatic victory over England to reach World Cup quarterfinals on Monday.

"I've forgiven him. I am not going to continue the case against him," Happy said on Tuesday.

Our bowlers have really stepped up: Dhoni Hamilton (IANS): Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said on Tuesday that it has been a remarkable difference how the Indian bowlers have stepped on the gas in the cricket World Cup as they bowled out a team for the fifth consecutive time in as many matches in the ongoing tournament.

After a disastrous Test and tri-series against Australia and England, the bowlers faced a lot of criticism as they failed to pick up wickets regularly. But they turned the tide in the quadrennial event. On Tuesday in a Pool B match, Ireland were bowled out for 259 in 49 overs.

"One of the coaches was telling me (about India taking 50 wickets in last five matches). It's a good stat to have. It means the bowlers are really doing the job for us. It's a remarkable differ-

ence, they've really stepped up," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

"Not just the three fast bowlers, the spinners as well, and whenever we've had to use part-timers they've done a good job."

India had no problems in chasing down the score courtesy knocks from openers Shikhar Dhawan (100) and Rohit Sharma (64). They eased past the total with eight wickets and 79 balls to spare.

The skipper said they lacked intensity in the Triseries and the Tests. He added that the team is a happy outfit now especially after winning nine World Cup games on the trot, and hopes to carry forward this momentum to the other games.

“We have been here for over four months. We had to sacrifice somewhere,

and that was the intensity in the ODI series, especially after the effort we had put in during the Test series. I knew it would be back when the World Cup started," he said.

“Even this game was a challenge, a lot of them are jetlagged and sleepdeprived. I'm glad all of us have stepped up. It feels good. Everyone is happy we have been able to win nine consecutive games.

We just have to take the momentum forward,” said the 33-year-old.

England need a world-class T20 tournament: Atherton Adelaide (IANS): Former England captain Michael Atherton on Tuesday felt that his country's cricket needs a "world-class Twenty20 tournament", to make them a strong contender in the limitedovers format.

England on Monday slumped to fourth loss in five matches in Pool A of the ongoing World Cup. They lost to Bangladesh by 15 runs in a crucial clash. They earlier had suffered taming defeats against Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

He said part of the development of the next generation is a willingness to promote young players to international cricket faster than England have in the past.

"Twenty20 is the key to developing the next batch of 50-over cricketers because most countries are playing at that tempo now, albeit stretched over a longer period of time.

Picking the right kind of players is like picking a good dividend-paying stock," Atherton wrote in a column as reported by cricket.com.au.

"Choose right and stay faithful and they will provide compound interest for years to come. Moeen Ali, (Alex) Hales, (Jos) Buttler, Sam Billings, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Chris Jordan, among others, provide a nucleus of a one-day squad to move

forward with."

Atherton felt England's mindset when it comes to limited overs cricket is years behind the rest of the world which resulted in the failure to make the semifinals of the past six World Cups.

"For too long, England have refused to accept that the game has changed and other teams are playing a more dynamic, more aggressive, more flexible form of the game," Atherton wrote.

"They almost tiptoed to Champions Trophy success two summers ago in England, using that nearsuccess to defend an outdated template. (Coach Peter) Moores suggested England missed Jonathan Trott at No 3. Trott is not the type of player England should be trying to promote in one-day cricket as they move to the future."

Atherton also said that appointing Alastair Cook as the One-Day International (ODI) side

captain was a wrong step.

He also felt that they persisted with the left-hander batsman too long.

"It was a denial that prompted them to appoint Alastair Cook as one-day captain in the first place, a decision made through the prism of Test cricket and to which they committed for far too long in the run-up to this tournament."

While several pundits notably Geoffrey Boycott and Bob Willis - have called for heads to roll, Atherton has instead urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to be more selective.

He advised the board to assign important positions to those who subscribe to the modern way of thinking in limited-overs cricket.

He says former England ODI captain Paul Collingwood would be a good addition to both the selection panel and the coaching staff. The 46year-old suggested that the current backroom team - besides Mark Ramprakash - lack credibility due to their inexperience as players at the international level.

"It is a problem of perception - people need to have confidence in those making the decisions - but also of substance," Atherton, who represented England in 115 Tests

GET CAPTURED

BY CHANDRA

and 54 ODIs, wrote.

"The game is moving on rapidly. Someone such as Collingwood would be a great addition to the panel, with a specific remit for one-day cricket and identifying the right players."

Lastly, Atherton warns

against subscribing to "lazy theories" and expecting a quick fix to a problem that is deepseeded in the English game. He says time and patience are among the key elements that must be adopted by coaches, players, selectors and fans.

Pakistan endorses green plans for Sikh shrines Washington (IANS): Pakistan officials have endorsed a plan to explore green projects at Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur, the most sacred Sikh shrines in the country.

This will be a part of the celebrations of 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in 2019. He was born in Nankana Sahib and lived in Kartarpur for the last 17 years of his life, as told by EcoSikh, a

Washington-based Sikh organisation.

EcoSikh president Rajwant Singh visited Nankana Sahib, Kartarpur Sahib, and Narowal to explore what actions would be needed by com-

munities and the administration to preserve the ecology of these sacred sites.

He was invited by Ramesh Singh Arora, first Sikh member of the Punjab assembly in Pakistan.

He also met Ahsan Iqbal, federal minister of planning development and reform, and Shuja Kharzada, environment and home minister of Pakistan's Punjab province, among other officials.

"These sacred sites are revered by Sikhs all over the world. We have proposed the idea of dedicating between 25 and 50 acres of land in Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur as 'sa-

cred forest' in order to conserve the bio-diversity and sanctity around this place for generations to come," Rajwant Singh said.

Plans include solar panels, creating organic farmland for langar, dedicating sacred forest areas, and creating an ethos of care for environment among local faith leaders, communities, and thousands of pilgrims visiting Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur every year.

In addition, around five or ten acres would be devoted for organic farming to supply food for langar at Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur gurdwaras.

Pakistani officials have asked EcoSikh to send

proposals for a master plan as the anniversary of Guru Nanak will come in four years.

Ramesh Singh Arora said: "The aim of all sides is for these celebrations in Pakistan to be as appropriate, and wonderful, as possible and for them to have positive repercussions down the generations in Punjab and elsewhere."

EcoSikh South Asia project manager Ravneet Singh said: "We will make all possible efforts to make prime Sikh pilgrimage sites in Pakistan truer to the Guru's teaching about protecting and respecting and loving the land."

Musharraf faces arrest over Lal Masjid murders Islamabad (IANS): A Pakistan court on Tuesday issued a bailable arrest warrant against former president Pervez Musharraf regarding the murders of Lal Masjid cleric Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and his wife.

Islamabad's Additional Sessions Judge Wajid Ali Khan presided over the hearing and rejected four requests by Musharraf's counsel and adjourned the hearing till April 2, Dawn online reported.

In 2013, police registered a case against Musharraf over the alleged murder of cleric Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and his wife during the Lal Masjid military operation.

Musharraf faces a string of court cases dating back to his 1999-2008 rule, including the death of Ghazi, one of more than 100 people killed after Pakistani troops stormed the Lal Masjid in Islamabad on July 10, 2007.

The mosque was the scene of a week-long military siege against radicals that unleashed a wave of militant attacks across Pakistan.

Musharraf also faces treason charges over his imposition of emergency rule in 2007.

He further faces murder accusations over the 2006 death of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti and the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
