treat Indian IT workers in the United States less favourably than their American counterparts. In December, the US Congress doubled the cost of sponsoring H-1B visas to $4,000 each and L-1 visas to $4,500 each as part of a major spend-ing bill. Indian business lobby NASSCOM esti-

mated that would inflate costs for Indian IT export firms by $400 million a year. India is upset that the visa fees were raised without consultation. Its $150 billion outsourcing sector provides about three quarters of the country’s annual revenue from the United States. The outsourcing compa-nies send thousands of staff every year to work at client locations.

the present controversy as the event in question took place on February 9, while he had resigned much before than that. The two incidents should not be put together,” he added. AP Dimri from the School of Environmental Sciences assumed office as the Chief Proctor on March 1. Repeated calls and text messages to Ku-

JNU is caught in a row over an event on campus against the hanging of Parliament at-tack convict Afzal Guru during which “anti-na-tional” slogans were al-legedly raised. Kumar was also member of the disciplinary committee instituted by the univer-sity to probe the Febru-ary 9 event. A day later, broadening the panel, a three-member committee was appointed.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPosters in Delhi: Shoot Kanhaiya Kumar, get a reward of Rs 11 lakh

Posters offering a reward of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who shoots dead JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, who was released on bail two days ago, have surfaced in the national capital. The small posters bear the name of the Purvanchal Sena, an organisation which claims to work for the people of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and its president Adarsh Sharma and were seen at various places in New Delhi. “Whoever shoots JNUSU pres-ident and traitor Kanhaiya Kumar will be rewarded Rs 11 lakh from the Purvanchal Sena,” the posters in Hindi read. Sharma said on Saturday that they do have faith in the judiciary but want to deliver ‘quick’ jus-tice. “We want the traitor dead. He has insulted mother India and raised anti-national slogans. We have faith in the court but it takes a long time for a judgement to come. We want to ensure there is a quick decision and hence, we have announced this prize money of Rs 11 lakh to be given to whosoever kills him,”. Kumar, Jawaharlal Nehru University students’ union president, was arrested on February 12 for allegedly raising an-ti-national slogans inside the campus during an event to mark the third anniversary of Parliament attack con-vict Afzal Guru’s hanging on February 9. Sharma said they have put up posters in the national capital to an-nounce their decision. “He is a traitor and this is what should be done to him,” he added. “We work for the people of UP and Bihar. Kanhaiya’s house is just 10 km away from my home in Bihar. Our land does not produce such anti-nationals. This is why I have decid-ed to do this,” he said. Police officers said they have taken note of it and initiated an inquiry into the matter. “Action will be taken against persons who have put up such posters that incite violence. A case will soon be registered. We are looking into the matter,” a senior po-lice officer said. Delhi Police have also asked universi-ty officials to inform them about Kumar’s movements outside the campus. In a letter to JNU authorities, DCP (south) Prem Nath wrote that the SHO of Vasant Kunj (North) police station should be informed well in time about “the movements and visits of Kumar outside the campus, including nature of visit and travel mode, so that necessary security and preventive measures may be tak-en to prevent any untoward incident”. The move comes in view of a court directive after the attack on Kumar at Patiala House court complex on February 17, which said police must ensure that none of the students arrested in connection with the sedition case suffer even a scratch.

Stakes minimal and virtu-ally nothing to play for, Sri Lanka and Pakistan enter-tained a turnout of over 10,000 at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, striking form with the bat. Batting had been their bugbear, run-ning into this final group league game of the tour-nament. They had already crashed out of the Asia Cup. Pressure gone, en-tertainment became the buzzword. Not that a flat track had been laid out, but the batsmen didn’t have the fear of failure. In the end, Pakistan won

the match by six wickets with four balls to spare. Tillakaratne Dilshan led the entertainment pack af-ter Pakistan won the toss and sent the opposition in. He was the star of the show, carrying the bat and making 75 not out off 56 balls. The 39-year-old was finally in his element, countering the dangerous Mohammad Amir with aplomb. Not that he tried something out of the box against the Pakistan quick. Dilshan mostly stayed on the front foot – even the pull shot he played to the deep square leg fence was

off the front foot – and looked for the scoring opportunities. It put Amir under pressure, which re-sulted in a terrific contest between bat and ball. It was Dilshan’s approach that stood out. He scored 23 runs off the 17 deliv-eries he faced from Amir and always showed posi-tive intent. So far, the bats-men’s treatment – save Vi-rat Kohli – to the left-arm fast bowler had bordered on reverential. Dilshan changed that, just ahead of the World T20, and the Sri Lankan team management would be happy.

The openers of Bangladesh have looked shaky and inconsistent in this tournament throw-ing away their wickets in powerplay and unable to provide a blazing start

Upleta and Dhoraji towns of Rajkot remained shut on Friday to mourn death of a youth who had al-legedly committed suicide in a guest house “in sup-port” of the ongoing Pati-dar quota stir on Thursday. Markets remained partial-ly shut in Dhoraji, the town where Prakash Shaani (36), a Patidar youth had allegedly ended his life by consuming poison the pre-vious day. Shaani, a resi-dent of Moti Paneli village in neighbouring Upleta taluak, had checked in a guest house in Dhoraji in the morning and allegedly committed suicide by con-suming pesticide. He was found dead in his guest house room at 5:30 pm. Upleta town also observed a bandh while its major villages like Bhayavadar and Moti Paneli remained shut as well. While book-ing the room in Dhora-ji, the youth had told the

guesthouse management that he was going to Jun-agadh to take part in the annual Shivratri fair and that he wanted rest for a while before resuming his journey. He had asked the guest house staff to wake him up after 4:30 pm. “We recovered a four-page sui-cide not from his room. His brother has confirmed that the handwriting in the note is that of Shaani’s,” Dhoraji police inspector JK Zala said on Friday. n the suicide note, the youth lamented that Patidars had to launch a stir to seek quota even though “they were the ones who form government” in the state. In the note addressed to Saurashtra PAAS con-venor Lalit Vasoya, the youth writes: “With sal-utation to India, I hereby sacrifice one more life to the government. I hope the government will become wiser after this. I want to convey to this government

Much to the chagrin of smart city enthusiasts in the Gujarat government, the Government of India has officially admitted, with specific reference to Ahmedabad, that it does not have any fixed defini-tion of smart cities, which it wants to set up at 100 different urban locations across India. In reply to a political activist based in Ahmedabad, who wished

to know from the Govern-ment of India why only a particular area located next to the Gandhi Ashram has been included in the smart city project of Ahmedabad, and whether there were any real estate interests be-hind it, the Union Ministry of Urban Development’s Smart Cities division said, it is not prescribing “any particular model to be ad-opted by the smart cities.” Roshan Shah, in his query to the Ministry of Urban

A time when startup eco-system is on fire, TiE Ahmedabad conducted one of the largest net-working conferences in Ahmedabad today. Ad-dressing the audience, Mr. R Chandrashekhar, President, Nasscom at TiECON Ahmedabad 2016 said “The startup model is creating signif-icant growth opportuni-ties for every stakehold-er within the ecosystem. The ecosystem is in mo-mentum with growing interest from corporate and other stake hold-ers. Startups are raising the bars high at global canvas. Funding is esti-mated to grow by 125%,

from $2.2 Bn in 2014 to $4.9 Bn in 2015” Shar-ing more on the policies regarding the startups, Mr. Chandrasekhar said “ States are strengthening the value propositions for startups, by offering incu-bation, state tax exemp-tion, employment linked allowance, training al-lowance. 66% of startups are concentrated in top 3 cities of Bangalore, NCR and Mumbai, we need to take them to other corners also”. Building an eco-system to encourage en-trepreneurship and meth-ods to fortify Gujarat’s importance as a partner to venture capital funds was laid threadbare, as experts gathered at TiECON, the flagship event of The In-

A day after Gujarat labour department “prohibit-ed” the strike by 422-odd workers at the Tata Motors plant at Sanand, workers refused to join work Fri-day as their strike entered day 12. “We will fight the matter in the industrial tribunal court. Till then our strike will continue,” said Hitesh Rabari and Harpal Sinh Jhala, both 25. Workers stayed away from work even as po-lice were called in Friday morning. Later, a meeting was held between Sarkhej DSP PO Bhatt, Deputy Labour Commissioner M S Patel, company offi-

cials and seven-odd repre-sentatives of the workers till 3 pm. A week ago, a similar joint meet had resulted in a stalemate. Rabari said, “The com-pany has not shared with us the chargesheet, clar-ifying the charges based on which 26 workers have been suspended… We have no reason to trust the management.” A statement by Tata Mo-tors said, “The matter is referenced to the Indus-trial Tribunal and we will abide by this process… We hope good coun-sel will prevail amongst workmen and they will restore normalcy.”

that give quota at the ear-liest or many more lives will be laid down. I take this step so that govern-ment takes some note. But it seems the govern-ment is in slumber.” The suicide note also com-plains to Chief Minister Anandiben Patel saying Patidars, who are largely farmers, are reeling un-der debt following four poor monsoons and they have not got crop insur-ance payment. This is second alleged suicide by a Patidar youth in Rajkot district support of their community’s agitation demanding an other backward class (OBC) status and resul-tant reservation benefits

in government jobs and in admission to insti-tutes of higher educa-tion. Umesh Bhalal had allegedly hanged himself to death in Vavdi village near Rajkot city last year. Vasoya, who is a distant relative of Shaani, said the youth was active in the stir. “Panel is the epicentre of quota stir in that part of Saurashtra and Prakash was active in the stir locally. He comes from a better-off family and he was not going through any finan-cial crisis. But his death is very sad. Such acts by our youths cannot be justified because they leave their families in the lurch,” said Vasoya said.

son Azhar Shafiq as new trustees of Chokan Shah Peer-ni-Dargah. The new trustees on June 19, 2013, submitted an application to the Wakf board seeking permission for sale of the property. The Wakf board in 2014 allowed the new trustees to go ahead with the sale on the condition that the buyer would give one flat to the Wakf board after development of the property. But the origi-nal trustee — Amanullah Hafizullah Khateeb — challenged the sale of the property, contending that the amended wakf law of November 2013 did not permit sale of wakf prop-erties.

Development, citing a news item in a prominent English daily, said, “Not entire Ahmedabad is tak-en into consideration for smart city. The Rampir Tekra slum area is low level area which is very difficult to modernize or developed as a smart city project. It is failure from the beginning.” Referring to the area surrounded by Gandhi Ashram, which is to be developed as smart city, Shah said, “I have come to know that only the area around Vadaj will be developed under smart city. There is ab-solutely no logic behind picking this area except to forcefully vacate poor from the place and grab their land.” Referring to a public interest litiga-

tion (PIL) pending in the Gujarat High Court, Shah said, “Even Gandhi Ash-ram land which was en-croached and ordered to be vacated in 14920/2003 PIL in Gujarat High Court is not vacated.” He wished to know whether “due dil-igence” has been done be-fore picking up the Vadaj area only?” Referring to the allegations flying high in the state about Gujarat chief minister Anandiben Patel’s family having real estate interests in the Va-daj area, he wondered, “Is the Ministry of Urban De-velopment convinced that this is the right area and there is no mala fide in-tent of Gujarat CM family here or displaced dwellers will be taken care of very well?”

due to unnatural reasons and number of leopards falling in this category stood at 121. The caus-es of unnatural deaths varied from falling into open wells, being hit by trains or vehicles to elec-trocution, the minister said. Replying to a relat-ed question raised by the

dus Entrepreneurs (TiE) today in Ahmedabad. In this edition of TiECON, diverse perspectives on an early-stage start-up cul-ture was deliberated on, with strategies to connect that one entrepreneurial idea to capital and make it a successful business venture. Mr. Vishal Me-hta, Founder, Infibeam, spoke on moving from a startup idea to an IPO. He said “ When there is a demand you start getting fund. Funding is the end, it’s not the beginning for startups”. In the session ti-tles Unlocking the Invest-ing Mystery: Connecting Ideas to Capital, experts opined that Business is a living entity, it changes with time. Rather to focus on a single framework to approach clients, we should focus on whole-some approach keeping in mind the market demand. Technology is an import-ant tool and it can help in skill development. The session on Healthcare, saw experts discussing the opportunities in the sector saying that it is a segmented industry.
