A nine-year-old Asiatic lion drowned after falling into Jamni river in Amreli district, an official said. “The incident occurred on May 4 (Wednesday) in Dhari forest range area when the nine-year-old male lion slipped into the river from a 35 feet-high hilltop,” Amreli’s acting District Forest Officer C P Ranpariya said. The in-cident came to light when patrolling staff of the For-est Department saw the big cat’s carcass floating in the river and fished it out, he said. Injuries found on the posterior side of the body indicate

that a crocodile fed on it, he said, but ruled out any fight between the two. A post-mortem conducted on the spot confirmed that the lion died of drowning, he said, add-ing, the lion may have fallen into the river about three days ago. Asiatic lions are an endangered species and their only

wild population in the world is surviving in Gir forests and adjoining ar-eas in Saurashtra region of Gujarat, the official said. The Lion Census of 2015 had pegged the number of the top pred-ator at 523, he said, and added that 197 Asiatic lions inhabit the Dhari range.

At the meeting, Modi said the Centre and states have to work together to mitigate the problems faced by the

people due to the drought, a PMO statement said. Yadav apprised Modi of the efforts undertaken for mitigation of problems faced by people because of drought conditions, it said. It was noted that the state has submitted a memorandum two days back for assistance for the Rabi 2015-16 season and the Prime Minister directed that the process be completed, and assis-tance be provided without delay, it said. The state shared the action plan for revival and restoration of 78,000 water-bodies including tanks, ponds, and farm ponds; one lakh new water-bodies and re-charge structures.

He also talked about the ar-rest of alleged Indian spy Kulbushan Yadav, and termed it as proof of “In-dian involvement” in Pa-kistan’s internal affairs. India has acknowledged Yadav is a retired Indian Navy officer but denied the allegation that he was in any way connect-ed to the government.

Parrikar trashed Kejriwal’s outburst that Prime Minister Narendra Modi does

not have “enough courage” to arrest Sonia Gandhi and that the BJP and Congress have

an “alliance in corruption”tion-packed Saturday. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had earlier said Kejriwal was trying to “deflect attention” at a time when the debate over alleged kickbacks in the supply of 12 choppers to the Indian Air Force in the UPA regime has cor-nered the Congress party.

Here are highlights of the day. The Congress and the BJP have an “alliance in corruption”, Kejriwal said at a protest rally in Jantar Mantar. Question-ing the progress of the in-vestigation into the chop-

per deal, the AAP leader alleged that there hasn’t been an “inch” of move-ment. “Modi had said that the corrupt will be sent to jail. It has been two years and not a single person has been sent to jail...the

country has been cheated and hence we had to again gather against their ‘alli-ance’ four years after we had gathered at the same place to protest the corrup-tion of these two parties,” he said. AgustaWestland, a subsidiary of Italian de-fence giant Finmeccanica, allegedly paid more than

Rs 375 crore as bribe in a deal to supply 12 VVIP helicopters to the IAF. The issue rocked the on-going Parliament session after a Milan court con-victed two Italian officials for bribing Indian officials and politicians to secure the Rs 3,727-crore con-tract in 2010. The deal was scrapped in 2014. “The Italian court order also has names of Sonia Gandhi, Ahmed Patel, certain offi-cers and Congressmen, but Modi is not able to gather enough courage to arrest Sonia Gandhi, to ask her even two questions, to in-terrogate her...I want to ask Modiji why are you scared of her?” Kejriwal said.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYEducation, not reservation, will ultimately help the

Patidars in GujaratIt is not clear what the Gujarat government thinks the 10% reservation in government jobs and education that it announced last week for economically weak candidates from the general castes will achieve. If it was done to quell the Hardik-Patel-led protest for OBC reservation for Patidars, it isn’t going to cut much ice given the proposal covers other caste groups such as Bramhins, Kshatriyas, Lohanas, etc—the criterion is that annual household income should be less than R6 lakh. And with 49% already reserved for SCs/STs and OBCs, the new provision violates the 50% ceiling on reservations put by the Supreme Court. With Haryana already setting a precedent with reservation for Jats—who, like the Patidars in Gujarat, can hardly be considered economically-backward—Gujarat perhaps sees in this an easy route out of the political threat of an-gering a large and powerful community. However, the problem is not just the Gujarat government’s half-baked response to the agitation. The reason that drives clearly well-off castes like the Patidars and the Jats to seek reservation is a big concern as well. As per a PRICE’s ICE 360o survey for FY14, an OBC household headed by an illiterate person earned Rs 84,394 and this rose to Rs 325,713 when the OBC household was headed by a graduate—this means, while an upper caste household headed by an illiterate earned more than a similarly uneducat-ed OBC household (generally seen as ‘evidence’ of discrimination), it earned a fourth less than an OBC household headed by someone who had studied for even a few years. The biggest factor for prosperity, therefore, is education. With quotas meaning that admission into a premium government institute get that much harder, the general castes perceive that either a reservation or a dismantling of it can only assure them prosperity. The problem is with the lat-ter option being politically not feasible, the likes of Hardik Patel are increasingly getting convinced that the former is the only way.

“The Italian Court order also has names of Sonia Gandhi, Ahmed Patel, certain officers and Congressmen, but Modi is not able to gather enough courage to arrest Sonia Gandhi, to ask her even two questions, to interrogate her..”

Agency | New Delhi

Veteran actor Gulshan Grover, who came into limelight through his por-trayal of Kesariya Vilayati, also known as ‘Bad Man’ in 1989 blockbuster ‘Ram Lakhan’, says no actor can play the famous char-acter better than him. Ace filmmaker Rohit Shetty is reportedly planning to re-make the Subhash Ghai di-rectorial with actors Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in the lead. Gulshan got a lot of acclamation for his negative portrayal in the film. Though he feels no other actor in the industry has the ability to play the character in the remake.

“That was the best char-acter. Today that character Badman is turned into a web-film, ‘Badman’. How fantastic I must be in that film,” Gulshan said during his visit to the headquar-ters here on Friday. Asked who can play his part in the remake, Gulshan said: “I don’t think so there is anybody who can play my part. Nobody. That char-acter had a lot of looks, a lot of certain kind of deliv-ery.” “It was not tremen-dous acting histrionics in that. I don’t think any actor has that ability to portray that character. Only one person can play ‘Badman’. That is me.”

West Bengal Governor, Keshari Nath Tripathi, who is also the chancellor of the Jadavpur Universi-ty, on Saturday, asked for a report from vice-chancel-lor Suranjan Das regard-ing Friday night’s clashes between the students and ABVP supporters on cam-pus. Tripathi said over the phone, “Jadavpur Univer-sity is a centre of excel-lence, but some people are trying to convert it into a centre of disturbance. The vice chancellor is likely to meet me and will submit a report. I will take appro-

priate action after going through the report.” The vice-chancellor will meet the Governor at 5 pm and submit a report on the inci-dent. Das also highlighted that he would mention all the steps and actions taken by him post-incident in his report. On Friday evening, when Agnihotri entered the campus for the screen-ing, he was shown black flags by the university students and his car was gheraoed. Despite per-mission being denied to hold the screening at Tri-guna Bhawan, Agnihotri decided to screen the film in open air. When Agni-

hotri began the screening, university students started screening another film, Muzaffarnagar Baaqi Hai on the other side. Minutes later, the two groups—several ABVP supporters accompanying Agnihotri and the university stu-dents—got into a scuf-fle, resulting in clashes. Four outsiders were then marked and taken to the Aurobindo Bhawan and kept hostage. Students claimed that the four out-siders had allegedly mo-lested two students amidst the clashes and they could only be handed over to the police.

If you grew up in the 90s in India then you proba-bly had only one super-hero, Shaktimaan. Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri, a mere photojour-nalist for a newspaper, has an alter ego, Shakti-maan. Shaktiman is like

any other human being, but he has achieved su-perhuman strength after a lot of deep meditation and attaining control over the five elements of life. The role was played by veter-an actor Mukesh Khanna and he is still known for the teachings he would impart to the children at the end of each episode.

Mukesh Khanna said that the talks to bring the show back on televi-sion is underway and it will be out soon. Surpris-ingly, the 57-year-old ac-tor will retain the Shakti-maan role for himself. “I was very young when I played the role of Bhish-mapitama in Mahabharat. I feel an actor can’t be re-stricted due to age. I feel age is just a number. It depends on how you look and if you will be able to pull off the character with full conviction,” he told the newspaper.

Planet Mercury will be seen as dot on the solar disc from several parts of India on Monday, a rare astro-nomical phenomenon that occurs only 13 times in a century. The planet will be seen as a small black dot travelling from one limb of the solar disc to the other as the Sun, Mercury and the Earth will be lined up in one plane. The last transit of Mercury had occurred on November 6, 2006 when just the end of the event was visible from the extreme north-eastern parts of India at sunrise. In Delhi, the event can be seen for a duration of about 2 hours 20 minutes as it will start at 4.41 PM and sunset will take place at 7.01 PM. The planet appears as a dot on the disc because its angular size is very small compared to that of the Sun as seen from the Earth. “The phenomenon is a relatively rare one which occurs 13 or 14 times in a century. It occurs in May and November. The in-terval between one November transit and next No-vember transit may be 7, 13 or 33 years whereas the interval between one May transit and the next May transit may be 13 or 33 years,” a statement by the

The team used a free smartphone app that reduces jetlag to gather robust sleep data from thousands of people in 100 nations.Among their findings is that cultural pres-sures can override natural circadian rhythms, with the effects showing up most markedly at bedtime.
