Hindu woman to go with her Muslim husband

An IIT Kharagpur B Tech student who topped across all departments in the institute, has reject-ed a lucrative job offer from an MNC to remain in academics. Computer science and engineering student Sikhar Patrana-bis has scored 9.87 and passed out as the high-est-ranked graduate this year. He is tipped to get the President of India Gold Medal. The lure of a high-paying pre-place-ment job offer from Mi-crosoft, however, could not distract this talent away from his passion for research. Patranabis has now decided to stay back at the IIT campus and do a PhD on hardware securi-ty for embedded systems. “I never wanted to get into a corporate job after B Tech.

Rotten eggs, ink thrown at AAP’s Tomar as he leaves Bihar university after fake degree probe

15 killed, 48 injured as bus rams into tree in Behram

Agency | Bhagalpur

Former Delhi law minis-ter Jitendra Singh Tomar was greeted with rotten eggs, tomatoes and ink by members of differ-ent student organisations on his arrival at the TM Bhagalpur Universi-ty (TMBU) on Friday. Tomar, who is on police remand on the charge of possessing a fake law degree, was brought to TMBU headquarters by a Delhi police team as part of its ongoing in-vestigation into the case. As Tomar was escorted inside the administrative

building of the universi-ty, activists of the AISA, Chhatra Yuva Shakti, Ch-hatra LJP and other stu-dent organisations raised slogan against him and tried to throw eggs at him. The Delhi ex-law minister has claimed he had been a student of the Vishwanath Singh Institute of Legal Studies (VSILS), Mung-er, an affiliated unit of the TMBU, and possessed a valid law degree from the university. The univer-sity administration had informed the Delhi high court through an affidavit it had never issued any law

degree to Tomar. Sourc-es at the TMBU campus said Tomar was quizzed on issues concerning his admission at VSILS, Munger, his registration in the university as a law student and also about his provisional law degree that the university has already stated was fake. A Delhi police team that reached Bhagalpur ahead of Tomar on Friday morn-ing held discussions with university officials who had carried out the veri-fication of the provisional law degree of Tomar and pronounced it as fake.

habeas corpus petition filed by the parents of the woman Damini Cha-vda (19) who married Saiyed Irfan Riyazul Husain (21). In March, Damini had gone miss-ing from the protection home, to which she was sent by a court order, for about three months, about which a complaint was filed in Ellis Bridge

police station of the city. On Wednesday, during the scheduled hearing of the case, the High Court directed Irfan to produce the woman be-fore it, following which, Damini appeared today before the High Court and reiterated that she wanted to go with Ir-fan, which was allowed today. Damini had in February pleaded before

the court to allow her to stay with Irfan but it was refused, after which she had tried to commit suicide by strangulating herself with ‘dupatta’ inside the court room, said the High Court or-der. Damini, who fell in love with Irfan one year back, had tied the knot with him in December last year. However, as her family did not ac-

cept their marriage, her father Babu Chav-da had filed a habeas corpus plea before the High Court in January to get her custody. But during the trial, she had appeared before the di-vision bench headed by justice Ravi Tripathi and requested him to allow her to stay with her hus-band as they had signed a marriage agreement under Special Marriage Act. However, the High

Court bench in January sent her to Women Pro-tection Home and also

directed the police offi-cials to not allow her to meet Irfan as their mar-

riage certificate men-tioned husband’s name as Akbarali. “This court is of the opinion Damini Babubhai Chavada, who is under the influence of Irfan is required to be kept out of that for some time and therefore re-quired to be sent to Nari Sarakshan Gruh or Nari Vikas Gruh (protection home for women) till the next date of hearing on January 28,” the or-der said.

QUOTE OF THE

Army’s Myanmar strike: Governments don’t sing about covert operations

First there is the operation; then there are the optics. Based on available reports, the cross-border opera-tion in Myanmar seems to have been professionally executed. The army’s statement was appropriately terse. The operation was not without precedent. But the government deserves credit for putting in place all the diplomatic, intelligence and other ingredients that made it possible in quick time. But the messag-ing around the operation seems to have muddied the waters. Some of the muddying is on familiar themes. The chest-thumping of some ministers seems quite out of proportion and potentially dangerous. In-dia has a more complicated history with effective cross-border operations than is usually acknowl-edged. The political narrative around the operations, not the facts, is what seems to be changing. But let us look at the politics of messaging in different frames. Any political establishment is understandably tempt-ed to take credit for a successful operation. This is particularly true for a government whose self-image is so muscular and whose core constituency gets energised by such events. But aggressive domestic political messaging runs two risks. First, it probably makes cross-border operations subject to more overt scrutiny of the wrong kind. Operational details put out to make its impact more vivid can potentially damage the integrity of covert operations. If there is spin, one has to be careful that it does not dam-age the credibility of the government. Exactly how “cross-border” was this cross-border operation? But more seriously, aggressive domestic messag-ing creates a new sense of habituation and expec-tation, which can in turn reduce the government’s room for political manoeuvre later. Such operations have to be mounted when conditions are right and the risks manageable. But if you have a political culture that expects these operations routinely, where after every incident the government is com-pelled to explain why it isn’t going after targets, the risk of misjudgement becomes higher. Covert ops and cross-border raids are kept covert not just for operational reasons, but because you want to be careful about the culture of expectation they set up. You also risk embarrassing friendly governments that support you. Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Ra-thore claimed that this operation sends a message to countries like Pakistan. It is a bit of nonsense to suggest this. Pakistan and India both know that the nature of their military, political and nuclear rela-tionship is different. But there are two elements to the message that this government has been trying to send to Pakistan and other neighbours. First, that India’s security red lines are clear and there will be less waffling. There is no incompatibility between asserting these lines clearly and extending a hand for cooperation in other areas.

An inexperienced Indian football side gave a good fight before going down 1-2 against Oman in the home leg match of the 2018 World Cup Prelim-inary Qualification round here today. Oman, ranked 40 places above India in the FIFA chart at 101, scored through Qasim Said (first minute) and Imad Al Hosani (40th, penalty) while Sunil Ch-hetri was on target for India with a superb goal in the 26th minute. The 19,000-odd crowd at the Kanteerava Stadium thought that India had equalised in the 69th min-ute but to their dismay, the linesman ruled that Robin was offside. CK Vineeth essayed a cross from the right towards Oman goal and defender Sallam Amur flicked the ball into his own net but the linesman thought that

Robin was in off-side position before that. In-dia coach Stephen Con-stantine gave debut to four players, including three in the back four, and the inexperience showed as the home side were in the back-foot from the beginning by conceding a goal in the first minute. Then, a debutant Dhanachandra Singh went for a reckless challenge on an Oman attacker to concede the decisive penalty. In fact, the most experienced

The Indian backline were un-der severe pressure trying to fend incessant Oman attackers and the home side were lucky not to have lost the match by a bigger margin largely due to poor finishing by visit-ing team.

The pace leg-end is the fourth cricket-er this year to be induct-ed into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame after Betty Wilson, Anil Kumble and Martin Crowe, who were inducted earlier this year during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. “I feel privileged and indeed honoured to be given this tremendous award. I have noted the list and it has some tremendous cricketers – heroes who have made the game what it is today. So, I am humbled to be included among these many greats of the game,” Hall said. “Anytime you get these kind of encomiums, it is memorable. It is fantas-tic to receive the award in the West Indies and

Following several in-cidents of mango theft from orchards in Valsad district, many fruit grow-ers in the region, famous for its Alphonso and Ke-sar mangoes, have in-stalled CCTV cameras to pre-empt such attempts. Due to unseasonal rain this year in the region, the fruit growers have suf-fered loss in mango pro-duction, and so they have taken a few extra mea-sures to preserve and sell whatever stock remains with them. The summer is the peak season for mango consumption, and the fruit is also heavi-ly exported to countries like the UK, the US and the Gulf nations. How-ever, recently around 10 complaints of mango theft have been reported with different police sta-tions in Valsad district. In some cases, police have

A UK-based Gujara-ti businessman recently gave the highway a miss and hired a chopper to fly to Dholera, Radhanpur and Khavda in border dis-tricts of the state to sur-vey land for a project he wishes to set up in Guja-rat. In the last 12 months, a good 200 chartered ser-vices were hired by in-dustrialists to fly within India for business as well as leisure trips. About 50 chartered flights hired by Gujarati businessmen flew to various foreign destinations.Until 2012-13, the number of char-tered flights for interna-tional destinations could be counted on fingertips. “The number increased in 2013-14 with 10 such flights heading towards African nations. In last one year, this number has gone up to 50,” says

Captain Kaushal Soha-gia, director Aniket Air Services Pvt Ltd. Success of Vibrant Gujarat sum-mit and large investments flowing into Gujarat has pushed the demand for chartered flights in the state, says industry sourc-es. “Many companies hire choppers for foreign executives who come for a short visits,” says Soha-gia. Growing preference for charters prompted an online travel portal to launch chartered flight services between Ahmed-abad and Bhutan in April this year. Beginning May, they have operated six flights. The company now plans similar service to Turkey from Ahmed-abad. Officials in Ahmed-abad based aviation com-panies say chartered jets are also rented from Del-hi and Mumbai to meet client requirements.

Large number of industri-al units in Dahej special economic zone (SEZ) and Vilayat Industrial Estate are staring at production losses after the main 12.5 km pipeline discharging effluents into the high sea was damaged on Wednes-day morning. Officials said that the suction sys-tem at one of the four pumps at the main pump-ing station in Dahej broke, resulting in large quantity of effluents gushing out. The pumping station was submerged and all indus-tries were immediately told to stop discharging their effluents. The pipe-line, managed by Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), dis-

charges nearly 23 million litres effluents per day four km into the sea. “After in-timation, it took sometime for the units to stop the dis-charge. In the meantime, some effluents also flowed into a storm water drain-age pipeline and eventu-ally into the Narmada es-tuary,” A A Dolti, regional officer, Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB), told TOI. It is estimated that nearly 70,000 litres of effluents have flowed into the estuary and if more is discharged, there is a threat to the marine environment. M A Hania, president of Dahej Industries Associ-ation, said, “The situation is very bad as repairs will take at least two to three days.

A Buddha tourist circuit in Gujarat was among the high points of the meet-ing between Chinese president Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in September 2014 in Ahmedabad. But re-cent construction around the 4th century AD Bud-dhist cave in Khambal-ida, in Jetpur taluka of Rajkot, is an eyesore for heritage conservation-ists. The facade of the ancient Buddhist cave has been hidden behind a fibreglass shield. In-

side, the floor has been plastered with fresh-ly-laid stone tiles. These are the interventions of the Gujarat archaeolo-gy department which doesn’t seem to have understood the basics of conservation. The reason given for constructing the grotesque canopy is constant seepage from cracks during monsoon, which was dissolving the facade of the limestone cave. However, conser-vationists say there were better ways of protecting the monument — which

had braved the vagaries of nature for over 1,600 years — than covering it with artificial material. Ajanta caves had faced a similar problem and were reinforced with compat-ible material. Khambha-lida has three caves. The entrance of the central cave, ‘chaitya’, is flanked by two large sculptures of Avalokiteshvara Pad-mapani and Avalokitesh-vara Vajrapani — both forms of Buddha. This is the only depiction of the Avalokiteshvara in a Gu-jarat cave.

menting a Coke gasifica-tion facility at Jamnagar, which is also one of the largest clean coal initia-tives in the world. This gasification project is based on contemporary technology and is the largest of its kind built in the world. It will convert low value petroleum coke to a clean energy source for our refinery complex, thus rendering Jamna-gar energy self-sufficient as well as enhancing the profitability significantly. We expect the gasifica-tion project to be ready for start-up in phases starting from early 2016. Upon completion, the project is expected to save nearly 1.5 billion dollars annually by substituting

imported LNG with the gas produced by it. The hydrocarbon rich refinery off-gases freed as a result of this project will be uti-lized as feedstock for pet-rochemical plants, thus generating significant ad-ditional value. Gasifica-tion shall further enhance the uniqueness of Jamna-gar refineries path-break-ing configuration as one of the iconic refineries in the world, and sustain our global leadership in the refining and marketing business. In our plastics business, we are building a world scale 1.5 million tons ethylene cracker at Jamnagar. This will be ready for start-up in the third quarter of the next financial year.

To prevent theft of mangoes, Valsad fruit growers install CCTV cameras

arrested the accused and also managed to recover the stolen mangoes. In the wake of the recent mango thefts, the orchard owners are trying ways to prevent such incidents. And the trend of install-ing CCTV cameras in the orchards is gaining popu-larity. Rakesh Kachhadia, a farmer who grows man-goes, teak and chikhoos at his orchard in Kooperli village, around 10 kilo-meters from Vapi, had deployed security guards to stop such thefts. The move, however, did not bring desired results. A month ago, Kachhadia

installed CCTV cameras in his 4.3-acre orchard. The farmer claims there was no incident of man-goes being stolen from his orchard since he in-stalled the CCTV cam-eras. He said, “This year, we have installed CCTV cameras at dif-ferent locations to over-come theft incidents. It cost me Rs 75,000. We have also erected a watchtower for constant watch on the fields. The CCTV cameras are of good quality with night vision. It is a one-time investment with minor maintenance.”
