QUOTE OF THE

DAYAt Pathankot, lessons unlearnt from 26/11 and mistakes repeated

At the best of times, the security of our air bases leaves much to be desired. A barbed-wire fence and/ or a 10-foot wall with towers along the outer perimeter se-cures the domestic area, which has offices, barracks and messes. A second-tier security fence protects the technical area, where hangars, aircraft pens, control tower and runway are located. An air base is guarded by five to six platoons (60 men each) of the Defence Security Corps (DSC) comprised of 40 to 55-year-old retired armed forces personnel. DSC soldiers are, at best, suited for static guard duties. In addition to the DSC, an air base has two to three sections (10 men each) of IAF police to assist in manning the gates, and a platoon (30 men) of Garuds, the special forces of the IAF, but with training standards well below par. Over all, an air base has 1,500-2,000 airmen armed with ba-sic weapons and little or no combat training. Of these, non-technical personnel also do guard duty inside the perimeter and, when required, man the perimeter, too. There are no electronic sensors or CCTV cameras along the security fences, or night-vision devices. The outer perimeter has poorly maintained lighting, which was “non-functional” in sections at the Pathankot air base. Intelligence and warning came in, in the early hours of January 1, under unusual circumstances. An off-duty SP of Gurdaspur, accompanied by two others, was carjacked by four terrorists close to the Interna-tional Border (IB). The occupants were beaten, bound and dumped at two different places close to the air base. The SP reported the matter to the police, which disbelieved him initially but then investigated the case. A slain taxi driver and his damaged car were also re-covered close to the area of the carjacking. The SP’s role is being investigated. Circumstances indicate that the ISI exploited drug smugglers and trapped the taxi driver and the SP, who were probably complicit in the drug trade. The terrorists may have planned to use the SP’s blue-beacon SUV for easy movement. The com-plicity of other rogue BSF and Punjab Police personnel involved in drug smuggling cannot be ruled out. By the afternoon of January 1, security measures were in full swing at the air base, assessed as the most likely target, and Mamoon Cantt, another prospective target, where the 29 Infantry Division is located. The macro — and even micro — planning was done by NSA Ajit Doval, who chaired a conference attended by the chiefs of army and air staff and director, Intelligence Bureau. It was de-cided that the air base’s protection would be beefed up by the army and that a team of the NSG would be locat-ed there. The police had started general combing of the area but the public was not taken into confidence.

Rising for the 14th straight month, car sales in the country surged by 12.87 per cent in December as customers were induced by the auto industry into buying new vehicles by offering record discounts. According to the data released by Society of In-dian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), domes-tic car sales in December stood at 1,72,671 units compared with 1,52,986 units in December 2014. Overall passenger vehicle sales during the month grew by 10.46 per cent to 2,30,960 units as against 2,09,086 units in the year-ago period. “December is always a difficult month for us. But this time, I think the inducement from the car manufacturers in terms of discounts to a large extent has helped in sales growth during the month,” SIAM Depu-ty Director General Sugato Sen said. It has turned out to be the best December month ever in terms of passenger car sales, he added. For the calender year (January to December), car sales grew 9.8 per cent at 20,34,015 units.

Nevertheless this ‘specific matter’ is an integral and important part of the Net Neutrality debate. Unfortunately, the specific consultation process initiated by the Trai was hijacked by the Free Ba-sics debate involving Facebook.

Coupled with the humidity here, it appears the effort left him a bit depleted. He did not turn it up on Sun-day. Perhaps he was a bit stifled as it was his first fi-nal. Or perhaps it was just the sheer dominance of the man on the other side that made it difficult for him to crank up the volume. After all, you hit the ball that has been dictated by the guy across the net. And Waw-rinka does spell them out into the far reaches of the court. The only time he lost his cool on Sunday was when his freshly strung racquet string broke and he went on one long rant to vent his ire.

Marsh has been omit-ted from the Australian lineup for the first match of the five-match series. Captain Steve Smith said Paris was selected be-cause Australia wants a left-armer in Perth “who can use the breeze and move the ball.” Bo-land was a member of the Australia test squad

Magsaysay award win-ner and RTI activist Aruna Roy said that at its core the country’s Constitution is based on the ideals of tolerance and compassion. “One should reflect on the preamble of our Consti-tution and understand the ideals enshrined in it. We need to imbibe those val-ues,” Roy told a gathering at Gujarat Vidyapith on Sunday. She was in the city to attend the release of a music album by activ-ists Charul Bharwad and Vinay Mahajan of Lok-naad. Roy even played her own recorded composi-tion--a fusion of Karnatic and western classical--that she had composed long ago. “ A country like ours is so diverse, and so is its

music. Expres sing one-self through music is also a fundamental right in this country . Music forms an essen tial part of recording history of a community’s struggle.” Roy was accom-panied by activist Shankar Singh. Indian Ocean lead guitarist Susmit Sen, who did the sound design for Vinay and Charul’s album also attended the function along with sound engineer K J Singh.This was Sen’s first venture into what he explained as `one of his most challenging ven-tures’.”I have done activ-ist songs earlier, but have never dealt with minimal instruments. The chal-lenge was to ensure that the lyrics be heard clear-ly, and to ensure singing styles of both singers do not get lost.”

DIPP Secretary Amitabh Kant said this year the de-partment would rank the states on about 340 points. Last year, the World Bank ranked the states on about 100 parameters.

mat Samarthan Samiti during a function held in Gita Mandir area. A pamphlet for the func-tion stated that though the observations made by Justice J B Pardiwa-la have been expunged, it caused damage to the society which could not be compensated. Such observations, it added, could make the future

of those getting reserva-tion benefits bleak and strengthen the campaign to remove reservation. Justice Pardiwala, in one of his judgments deliv-ered in December last year, had made alleged anti-reservation obser-vations, while deciding a petition moved by Pati-dar quota stir leader Har-dik Patel. Following the

judgment, 58 MPs from Rajya Sabha had moved a petition before the House chairman, seeking to initiate impeachment motion against Justice Pardiwala. The contro-versial observations were later expunged by the High Court bench pre-sided over by Justice Pardiwala, while acting on a Speaking to Minutes application moved by the Gujarat Government. The court expunged the observations and termed those as not “necessary” or “relevant” to decide Hardik’s petition.

a major setback as it has once again derailed the process of breeding at the Lion Safari, a dream proj-ect of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Ya-dav. Tapasya, along with another lioness Jessica and a lion Pataudi, were brought from Gujarat on December 28, director of the Lion Safari Sanjay

Srivastava said. Tapasya was taken ill soon after her arrival and was being treated by a local veteri-narian as well as doctors from Bareilly, he said. It died on Saturday around 4 am, after which CM Akh-ilesh Yadav was informed. The post-mortem was per-formed by a team of doc-tors from Bareilly, Srivas-

tava added. Taking note of the incident, Akhilesh directed immediately re-moval of Upadhyay from the post of PCF (Wildlife), an official spokesperson of the state government said. The spokesperson said Upadhyay has been removed as Tapasya’s “illness was not taken se-riously”. He informed that several water reservoirs in bird sanctuaries at Nawab-ganj in Unnao, Sandi in Hardoi and Lakh Bahosi at Kannauj have dried up, affecting the arrival of mi-gratory birds. Besides this, there were complaints of poor upkeep of forest ar-eas, the spokesperson said.

Partnership Summit here. Kant also said if India has to grow in the long-run at 8-10 per cent, Andhra Pradesh will be one of the main drivers of that growth. “… because this is a one state where land is available in adequate amount, it has well devel-oped ports, it has skilled manpower and there is an entrepreneurship and a dynamic political leader-ship,” he said.
