News BriefRupee inches up 8 paise against

dollar

Agency | Mumbai

The rupee edged high-er by 8 paise to 67.13 against the US dollar in early trade today at the Inter-bank Foreign Exchange market on increased selling of the US currency by export-ers and banks. Besides, sustained foreign capital inflows gave the rupee some muscle, dealers said. A subdued trend in domestic equities and dollar’s strength against other currencies over-seas, however, restrict-ed the gains.

Appellate Tribunals will now be re-quired to adjudicate cas-es in 60 days as against the earlier provision of 90 days and Regulato-ry Authorities to dispose of complaints in 60 days while no time frame was indicated in earlier Bill, he said. “It brings in only a regulation and not stran-gulation.

In this way, it will help in achieving the target of ‘Housing For All’,” he said. “Govern-ment has done its best to

It is our col-lective responsibility to protect the consumer, en-courage the developer and ensure orderly growth of the sector,” Naidu said as he sought support of all sections for passage of the bill in the Upper House. He said the objective of ‘housing for all’ can only be achieved if construction sector is supported to grow orderly in an atmosphere of mutual trust and con-fidence, credibility, effi-ciency, accountability and transparency and timely execution of projects.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYSri Sri should be thanked for drawing national attention to river Yamuna

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar should be thanked for inviting the nation’s attention to river Yamuna and its pollu-tion, discussions on which have rarely come up. The spiritual guru should also be complimented for making Arvind Kejriwal forget his differences with Narendra Modi government at the centre, or vice-versa, and for making them work in close coordination. That’s a wel-come development, even if the truce is temporary. At least a new beginning has been made. The spiritual gu-ru’s decision to hold a three-day long ‘World Culture Festival’ between 11-13 March and make the venue on the Yamuna river bank (officially part of Mayur Vihar Phase-I) seem fit for staging the Olympic Games hasn’t gone down well with environmentalists, media, ordi-nary denizens or the National Green Tribunal. Sri Sri is an international celebrity. After all, it’s not within the competence of an ordinary mortal to organise an event of this scale — a dais spread over acres, a makeshift stadium bigger than the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, six pontoon bridges over Yamuna (for which he got help from the army) so that VVIPs including the Prime Minister may reach the venue, half a dozen clearances from various government agencies. His arrangements include provision for an estimated 35 lakh people who will be at the festival and participants from 155 coun-tries. An event of this scale organised by someone who is perceived to be close to Modi and the ruling BJP would obviously make big news. Critics are well with-in their rights to criticise the use of army for building one pontoon bridge and erecting temporary structures beyond the permitted area. But the obsessive focus on the environmental aspect, degradation of Yamuna ecol-ogy and its bio-diversity is a bit rich. It is not as if Sri Sri’s event has destroyed the pristine precincts of Ya-muna. It’s not as if hordes of tourists frequent the river banks for its flora and fauna. Truth is, these are among the most polluted sites of the country and until the Art of Living foundation decided to organise the event, no one gave even the slightest attention to it. Consider the current state of Yamuna — the air conditioning sys-tems of Delhi Metro coaches which cross the Yamuna every day and those that are parked at the banks suf-fer severe damage due to toxic gases produced by a heavily polluted Yamuna. The entire Commonwealth Games village was built over the river bed. No hue and cry was made about it; at least no one remembers whether it made non-stop live TV coverage or newspa-per banner headlines. Taking on Ravi Shankar and the proposed World Cultural Festival is the easiest route to big publicity. Taking on a Suresh Kalmadhi or a MS Gill (for constructing Commonwealth games villages) obviously didn’t make much political sense.

Actress Hema Malini said that there is a dearth of opportunities for older actresses in Hindi films unlike Hollywood, where quality roles are written for female stars of all ages. Hema Malini, who has starred in more than 150 films during her glo-rious career, said that she can still play a variety of characters onscreen but feels quality roles are hard to come by. “Internation-ally, such beautiful films are made with elderly actresses but that doesn’t happen here. They don’t want to invest money because filmmaking is

too expensive, so why would they risk it with me? That’s the problem. No one comes to me with good roles,” Hema Mali-ni said. “Meryl Streep is doing fantastic work. She is of my age. I can also do so many things but I need opportunities for that,” she added. The actress, who is the BJP MP from Mathura, was last seen in a guest appearance in Amitabh Bachchan’s 2011 film Aarakshan. She will now be seen in Ramesh Sippy’s upcom-ing film Shimla Mirchi, which also stars Rajkum-mar Rao and Rakul Preet Singh.

Hardening its stance, Pa-kistan on Wednesday de-ferred the departure of its cricket team to India demanding “explicit” se-curity assurances. “Paki-stan is still waiting for an explicit assurance from the Government of India about security of its team and Pakistan spectators.

Meditation and classical ballet may make you wis-er, say scientists who, for the first time, found that physical practices may lead to increased wisdom. The researchers included ballet in the study, “not ex-pecting to find that it was associated with wisdom, but rather for comparison purposes,” said lead au-thor Patrick B Williams, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Chicago’s Department of Psy-chology in US. “The link between ballet and wis-dom is mysterious to us and something that we’re already investigating further,” Williams said. The research was groundbreaking because science has overlooked somatic practices as a possible path to wisdom, Williams said. “No studies have examined whether physical practices are linked to the culti-vation of personal wisdom, nor have they theorised that this association might exist,” the study stated. ”As we learn more about the kinds of experiences that are related to wisdom, we can gain insight into ways of studying the mechanisms that mediate wis-

Aiming to create a “sport-ing environment” in Guja-rat with special focus on Olympics sports, the state government Wednesday announced its first Sports Policy. The policy intro-duced a special quota for meritorious sportspersons in the Group C recruit-ment in the state. Also, it promised Class I jobs in the state government for those winning a med-al at the Olypmics or a gold medal in the Asian Games. Announcing the

policy, Sports, Youth and Cultural activities Minis-ter Nanubhai Vanani said he was not not satisfied with the sporting scenar-io in the state. “Ten years ago, the scenario was very bad. Then, we started Khel Mahakumbh and we have improved. But, we are still not satisfied and therefore, we have come out with this Sports Policy,” Vanani said. Secretary of Sports, Youth and Cultural Activ-ities Department Manish Bhardwaj said the Pol-icy was a step towards improving the sporting

environment in Gujarat. The policy document said, “The biggest worry for the parents and the sportspersons pursuing a career in sports is job security. The government will ensure that high per-formance athletes are giv-en jobs so that they can concentrate on sports.” Accordingly, Class I jobs will be offered to Olym-pic medal winners and Asian Games Gold med-alists. Whereas, Class II jobs will be offered to the silver and bronze medal-ists in Asian Games.

Ishrat Jahan encounter case: Vanzara writes to CBI for early hearing in Ishrat case

CBI argued that Solanki had a strong motive behind hatching conspiracy to murder Jethva since “the deceased (Jethva) started a crusade against

personal and commercial activities of Solanki and his nephew

claimed that inclusion of his name in the case was “politically motivated”. Solanki was arrested on November 5, 2013, and was chargesheeted under Section 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and Section 320 (murder) of the IPC. He is currently on regu-lar bail. CBI counsel R

C Kodekar opposed the discharge petition, saying that there was enough ev-idence proving Solanki’s involvement. Kodekar read out the contents of the chargesheet which has stated, “.Solanki hatched a criminal conspiracy with accused Bahadursinh Dhiruba Vadher and Prat-

apbhai alias Shivabhai Solanki (nephew of So-lanki) at his farmhouse in Harmadiya village two-three months prior to the murder of Amit Jethva. It was revealed that accused Bahadursinh Vadher was very close to accused Dinu Solanki.” The CBI investi-gation has established that call data record revealed Solanki and Vadher were in constant touch before and after the murder. Ac-cording to the chargesheet, on July 20, 2010, when Jethva was shot dead, four SMSes originated from a cellphone reportedly used by Solanki and were sent to Vadher barely minutes before the murder took place.

The PIL, filed by RTI activist Rajakbhai Baloch, alleged that “the high value public proper-ty was sold away secretly without giving public ad-vertisements and that too at a very lower price”. It stated that the land, lo-cated near the Gir forests and spread over 9,94,824 sq m, was sold to Wild-woods Resorts and Real-ties Pvt Ltd for a paltry amount which caused

loss to exchequer. The reply stated that since the valuation of the land was above Rs 1 crore, the matter was put up before the then revenue minister Anandiben Patel. “It was put up before the finance department and finance minster before getting the final nod from the chief minister to put up the file before the cabi-net for its approval for the allotment of land to Wildwoods by charging Rs 1,67,13,043,” it said.

Earlier on Tuesday three persons including two teenagers identified as Natuji Tha-kor (14), Vipul Thakor (17) died during the treat-ment.
