Nestle moves U’khand HC over Maggi banAgency | Nainital

Worried by the three-month ban imposed by the Uttrakhand gov-ernment on Maggi, the product’s manufacturer, Nestle, has moved the Uttarakhand high court seeking withdrawal of the government order imposing the ban. The high court has asked the state government to present the laboratory test report of samples in court. “After listening to the state government and Nestle India Limited, the honourable high court has scheduled hearing of the case for June 15,” ad-

vocate general UK Uni-yal said. The FSSAI on Friday ordered Maggi to withdraw and recall nine approved variants of its Maggi Instant Noodles from the market, “hav-ing been found unsafe and hazardous for hu-man consumption, and

stop further production, processing, import, dis-tribution and sale of the said product with imme-diate effect.” The FSSAI CEO YS Malik, in orders issued to the company on June 5, also noted that Nestle’s Maggi oats was brought into the market

Army launches massive hunt operation in Manipur against militants after deadliest attack in 33 years

The Leimakhong (Ma-nipur)-based 57 Moun-tain Division of the Army launched one of the biggest combing op-erations in the hilly ter-rain of the state which shares a 353km porous border with Myanmar on the east after militants ambushed a convoy of 6 Dogra infantry regiment on Thursday morning in which 18 soldiers died and 15 others were in-jured.

With no hope of find-ing survivors in the sub-merged hull of a Yang-tze River cruise ship that capsized this week with 456 people aboard, offi-cials turned their atten-tion on Friday to recover-ing the dead, employing two huge cranes to right the vessel. Four days af-ter the ship, the Orien-tal Star, flipped over in a ferocious storm, leav-ing 442 dead or missing, Chinese state television showed its three top decks emerging from the muddy waters of the river, lifted by the 500-ton cranes. A portion of its blue roof was crumpled, though it was unclear whether the damage occurred when it capsized or during ef-forts to turn it right side up. Relatives of the miss-ing passengers and crew members who gathered in Jianli, the city closest to the shipwreck, continued to express frustration with the authorities, saying they were being kept in the dark about rescue and

made a similar claim that the ambush was carried out from instructions from NSCN (K) supremo SS Khaplang, who is also the chairman of Unit-ed Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (UNLFW), a newly-float-ed conglomerate of four outfits, NSCN (K), Ulfa (I), NDFB (S) and KLO. The NSCN (K)-KYKL-KCP statement said that the “combined team of ‘elite strike unit’ of Naga army, KYKL and KCP assaulted five vehicle convoy of 6th Dogra reg-iment on June 4 at Teng-

noupal-New Somtal road under Chandel district of Manipur” and this was “in sync with each cor-responding assertion for self-determination and sovereignty.” According to the statement the am-bush started at 6am and lasted till around 10am. Intelligence inputs had earlier suggested the ambush was carried out by a 15-member group of KYKL with weapon-ry support from NSCN (Khaplang). Soon after the deadly attack military in-telligence received inputs about a heavily-armed

KYKL group spotted moving away from the site of the incident. The group was led by self-styled “lieutenant” Tamba and was heading Thantap-in village. The group is believed to have moved eastwards and crossed the international border from somewhere south of T Minou village in Manipur, which is south of the In-dia-Myanmar border town of Tamu in Myanmar.The inputs stated that the group was equipped with RPGs and other sophis-ticated weapons. The ve-hicles in which the Army jawans were travelling were hit by RPGs and the “KYKL does not poses the sophisticated weapons and in all probability these were provided by NSCN (K). Moreover, the village where the ambush took place is a Naga village,” the source said.

During a news conference orga-nized by government of-ficials, several distraught family members burst into the room and demanded to speak to reporters be-fore being ushered out by officials. A number of victims’ relatives have de-scribed being trailed by government minders and instructed not to speak to journalists. State news media reported that 97 bodies had been recovered by Friday morning. Offi-cials have not given for-eign journalists access to any of the 14 people who survived, but the state-run Xinhua news agency released interviews with

several of those who es-caped when the ship over-turned Monday night, including its captain and chief engineer. At least four of the survivors were crew members, and a fifth has been described as a tour guide. Many of the passengers were elderly. In an interview published late on Thursday, the cap-tain, Zhang Shunwen, 52, said he tried to steer the ship through the violent storm but lost control of it as he headed north with the prevailing winds. As the wheelhouse filled with water, Mr. Zhang felt his way out and then made his way to the upturned hull, Xinhua said.

‘Modi taking revenge for losing Delhi’Kejriwal takes on PM after tussle with LG JungAgency | New Delhi

Locked in a bitter stand-off with the Centre, Del-hi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, accusing him of being “revengeful” towards his government and the people of Del-hi after BJP’s stagger-ing defeat in Delhi polls. Kejriwal was even more strident in attacking Del-hi’s lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung, calling him as BJP’s “polling agent” who had turned his offi-cial residence into “BJP headquarters”.“Delhi people have voted for us and the rest of the coun-try supported Modi. So please let us run Delhi and you (Modi) run the country. Don’t create trouble for us everyday through the LG. This is not being a good Prime Minister. Taking re-

venge for losing Delhi from people and AAP is not right,” he said. Slamming Jung, Kejriw-al said he does not give time even to deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia or other Delhi ministers for a meeting or take his calls. “But if the ‘chowk-idar’ (watchman) of (BJP president) Amit Shah calls him (LG), he will

crawl and go.” Alleg-ing that the “LG house has become another BJP headquarter”, Kejriwal said, “He (LG) is acting like a poll agent of BJP.” Kejriwal, who led his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to an unprecedented poll victory in Delhi last year, has been locked in a tussle with the LG over transfer and posting of officials.

This is illegal and a serious violation of the FSS Act, Rules and Regula-tions thereunder. In the absence of safety/risk assessment and grant of Product Approval of a food product covered

under Section 22 of the FSS Act, the Company has acted in violation of law. As such, the product cannot be allowed to be intended for human con-sumption and has to be withdrawn from the mar-ket forthwith,” the FS-SAI order noted. Of the 13 samples tested in Del-hi, one sample of Maggi

oats was tested, where lead higher than the per-missible 2.50 PPM was found. Nestle has also served a show cause notice that has to be re-plied within a period of 15 days to show why product approvals grant-ed for “Instant Noodles with Tastemaker – (9 variants)” in August

2013 be not withdrawn. In the product approval application submitted by Maggi in October 2012, granted in July 2013, Maggi had claimed to FSSAI it contained 0.0153 ppm, when tests in UP, Delhi, Gujarat and Kolkata have found lead levels ranging from 3-17.2 ppm lead.

After Gujarat ban, 820 kgs of Maggi noodles seized in AhmedabadSunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Following imposition of one-month ban on Maggi by the Gujarat govern-ment, Ahmedabad Mu-nicipal Corporation on Friday raided 1,296 shops in the city and seized more than 820 kgs of the instant noodles of the company. “Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Friday

raided over 1,269 units in the city and seized 820.6 kg stock of Maggi noo-dles,” an official state-ment said. Aday after Del-hi banned Maggi noodles, the Gujarat government on Thursday cracked the whip on the sale of the popular brand along with other noodle brands. Thir-ty seven samples of vari-ous brands were collected

from the state, of which results of 27 were known on Thursday. Of these, 14 samples failed. Among these were 12 samples of Maggi and one each of SK Foods’ Hakka noodles and Sunfeast Noodles. The Gujarat government on Thursday banned sale, procurement and distribu-tion of Maggi noodles af-ter the tests results showed

presence of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and higher-than-prescribed lead levels in samples. A sample each of instant noodles of Sunfeast and S K Foods too were test-ed. Following which, S K Foods noodles were also banned for one month as a high lead content beyond 4 part per million (ppm) was found in the sample. The AMC health department has also issued notice to around 403 shops and im-posed a fine of Rs 36,100 in total for improper stor-age, lack of hygiene, etc.

QUOTE OF THE

DAY

No short cuts to safetyThe rapid response of the Centre and the States to concerns about the safety of mass-marketed brand-ed noodles is a welcome departure from the culture of governmental indifference to matters of public safety. Several States have initiated testing of sam-ples of Nestle’s ‘Maggi’ noodles to assess levels of lead, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and other chemicals. The first tests commissioned by Uttar Pradesh last year, which were repeated in an apex laboratory in Kolkata for confirmation, indicated that the levels of lead in the snack were much high-er than legally permissible; MSG, a flavouring salt normally added to preserved foods, was also found, although on the label there was no indication of its presence. This is plainly unacceptable. Food safety, particularly in the case of aggressively promoted packaged snacks aimed at children, is critically im-portant. The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, which requires the States to deploy an effective en-forcement mechanism, seeks to achieve that with a regime of stiff penalties ranging from fines to a life term in prison. Data presented to Parliament last month show that over 10,200 prosecutions were launched under the law in 2013-14, but they re-sulted in only 913 convictions; in some States and Union territories, none was secured.In the ‘Maggi’ noodles case, a fuller picture will emerge when the results of tests ordered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India are known. It is important to trace the origin of the problem, and its possible linkages to other food ar-ticles. This requires State governments to maintain vigilance and undertake sincere, transparent efforts to identify unsafe foods. For its part, the food in-dustry, which deploys enormous resources for lob-bying and advertising, would help its own cause by cooperating with the investigation. What stands out as overreach in the entire episode, however, is the targeting of celebrities for their endorsement of ‘Maggi’ products in the past. As actor Preity Zin-ta tweeted, it is puzzling that she received a court notice for an endorsement made a dozen years ago. Celebrities must choose with great care the prod-ucts and causes they endorse, but there is little doubt that their support has advanced many cam-paigns for public health, women and child rights, and so on. It is also relevant to point out here that food safety cannot exist in a vacuum, where the government neglects social determinants of health such as clean water, pollution control, elimination of adulteration, access to energy and freedom from corruption. In contrast to big corporations that have easy access to resources, India’s food business also has small, informal-sector participants who depend on it for livelihood. Without a supportive state, even well-meaning food laws cannot be compre-hensively enforced.

When a camera does an almost a single-take waltz, around a bril-liantly choreographed song with an infectious rhythm, and Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar and Anil Kapoor groov-ing with hardcore filmi desi gusto, it’s both a treat and a feat. In Dil Dhadakne Do, this is achieved by one of Bol-lywood’s best directors, Zoya Akhtar. There are few directors who add meaning to feelgood

cinema. Akhtar and Raj Kumar Hirani are the top contenders in that arena. Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Mi-legi Dobara remains the finest in several aspects of filmmaking. There’s unusual casting; a screenplay as smooth as a BMW ride; grand visu-al imagery and above all, Farhan Akhtar’s witty one-liners, which leave you guffawing along with pranksters who add ‘bwoys’ to the dictionary. Dil Dhadakne Do is the story of a family cele-

brating the parents’ 25th wedding anniversary on a luxury cruise around Europe, and it is an am-bitious and well-intend-ed attempt to sail around unspoken territories. It’s a sincere attempt to go deep, which in the en-tire first half ends up dragging under its seri-ous tone and humour-less weight. The film just about stays afloat with the help of three winsome actors: Farhan Akhtar, Anushka Sharma and Shefali Shah.

The Reserve Bank of In-dia won’t cut its key in-terest rate again until the final quarter of the year as it waits to see how the monsoon season af-fects food prices, a Re-uters poll found. To try to put growth on a firm-er footing, RBI Gover-nor Raghuram Rajan has chopped 25 basis points from the repo rate three times this year, with the latest cut on Tuesday leaving it at 7.25 percent. The RBI made it clear on Tuesday that more rate cuts would depend on the outcome of India’s annual rainy season and government moves to ease the pressure on food prices, which make up almost half the basket of goods used to measure inflation. The consensus from the poll of over 30 economists suggests the RBI won’t cut at its next policy meeting in August but will in the final quar-ter of the year, unchanged from a poll taken prior to the meeting. “The scope

to put on 97 for the final wicket, matching a record for an Australian team in the West Indies. “We sort of started by me taking most of the balls but by the end there I was quite happy giving him the strike. I thought he batted beautifully,” Voges said of Hazlewood, who made 39. Voges paid tribute to Bishoo, saying his goal was to survive the spin-

ner and then take advan-tage of the other bowlers. “He bowled beautifully this morning and I just tried to find a way to get through him, keep ticking the scoring over,” he said. “Obviously, when the ball went soft scoring became a bit harder so I was look-ing forward to the second new ball and fortunately cashed in when it came,” he concluded.

dentally, Kashyap’s last victory against Long came in this very tour-nament in 2012. In what was a classic David vs Goliath battle, Kashyap used all his resources to overcome his rival. One of the fastest mov-ers and hardest hitters in the world, Long failed to counter Kashyap’s odd, precise smashes and started committing unforced errors. In the opening game, Kashy-ap was hardly a match to Long, who not just

opened up a 6-2 lead but consistently moved ahead. Although Kashy-ap caught up with him on a couple of occasions but once the Chinese broke away from a tied 11-11 position to 16-11, there was no looking back for him. Long com-fortably sealed the first game 21-14. The second game went neck-and-neck till 7-7 before the Indian managed to take a slight lead and hold on to the advantage always keeping his nose ahead.

for another rate cut of 25 bps still remains but its timing will remain con-tingent on how incom-ing data pans out and how global triggers - the normalization of mon-etary policy in the U.S. in particular - unfold,” wrote analysts at HDFC Bank. A below-normal monsoon and stabilising crude prices, which have fallen sharply over the past year, may push infla-tion higher, particularly through rising food pric-es. The U.S. Federal Re-serve Bank is expected to hike interest rates in the world’s biggest economy in September, according to the latest consensus from economists, but there is still consider-able uncertainty over the timing. Any signs of de-laying by the Fed would give the RBI more room to manoeuvre at its next policy meeting in Au-gust. Some analysts say if the rains are favourable it may press ahead with more monetary easing then.

Who needs a coach? India should let Ravi Shastri unleash Kohli like a guided missile

Agency | New Delhi

In order to understand who needs a coach and who doesn’t one needs to look at what a coach does. For starters, I think we can all agree that a coach does different things for different people at differ-ent stages of the life cycle. And here please do permit me the luxury of sharing a personal story to illustrate what I mean. I’m a coach. No, not a cricket coach; I’m a creative writing coach. I coach people to write and think differently. While doing so, I also end up having to coach peo-ple who don’t think they need to think differently. And that’s when I learn about the kind of coach

(and coaching) different people need. Or, in some cases, don’t. Sure, trying to coach people creative writing is not the same as coaching a cricket team. That said, I do believe it’s not all that different. Why so, you ask? Put very simply, a coach’s job is to advise people. In my

experience, grown-ups don’t think they need to be advised. In fact, I am inclined to think most grown-ups dislike being advised. Oh, and if these grown-ups happen to be superstars, they tend to be positively resistant to the idea of taking advice from others.
