Displaying a picture of unity, JD(U), RJD and Congress on Wednesday announced formation of a grand secular alliance and seat sharing among the three parties for the coming Bihar elections. Chief Minister Nitish Ku-mar announced coming into being of the grand secular alliance and seat sharing among the three parties in presence of RJD President Lalu Prasad and

Congress General Secre-tary and in-charge of Bi-har affairs C P Joshi at a joint press conference. As part of the tie-up, JD(U) and RJD would contest 100 seats each while Con-gress would fight in 40 seats. In the 243-member Bihar Assembly, the alli-ance was yet to announce who would contest in the rest three seats. Nitish Kumar told reporters that the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has been with them in the recent election for Legislative Council 24 seats and they would like it to be with them in the Bihar poll. Kumar indicated the three seats would be given to Sharad Pawar’s NCP if they join the combine. In reply to a question that Samajwadi Party whose leader Mulayam Singh

Yadav is heading Janata Parivar, had not got any seat, Prasad answered “he is my Samdhi (rela-tive) and if need be I will accommodate him.” Ku-mar said the grand secu-lar alliance would have a Common Minimum Programme and all con-stituents would hold joint campaign for the crucial state election in Septem-ber-October. “The first rally of the grand secular

alliance would be held in Patna on August 30,” Kumar and Lalu Prasad said. The RJD President indicated that the deci-sion to fight on 100 seats only was a compromise for a cause. “Inspite of all difference his party has come to the conclusion that to keep the communal and fascist forces away, it has to move ahead by accommodating others,” Prasad told reporters.

41 tigers have died in India so far this year

group TRAFFIC say only seven of the cats died from natural causes, one was killed by authorities and the rest were illegally poached between Janu-

ary and August. In Janu-ary, Indian environment authorities had claimed conservation efforts were working as the number of tigers in the country had

risen to 2,226 in 2014, up from 1,706 counted in 2010. Experts say the par-tial death toll proves India was not doing enough to protect the endangered predators, noting 66 tigers died during all of 2014. Of those which died naturally this year, two were killed in tiger battles, which ex-perts say are becoming more frequent as the big cats vie for territory while their habitats shrink.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYMission impossible: Digital India is not doable by 2019

The defining characteristic of a string of initiatives announced by the government, including Digital In-dia (DI), as noted in a Business Standard editorial, is overweening ambition. DI’s goals are noble. But can they be realised in the announced timeframe? DI is not all new. It is an amalgam of three ongoing programmes: the National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN), the National Knowledge Network and the e-governance initiative. What’s different is the ambi-tion and how quickly it is slated to get done (by 2019). DI seeks to provide broadband access to all and de-liver all manner of services to the citizen’s doorstep. Broadband refers to the high speeds at which users can access the internet. At present, India’s modest definition of broadband is any speed over 512 kbps. In contrast, broadband speeds in other countries cur-rently range from 10 to 50 mbps. broadband delivery requires a national network (pipe) capable of carrying large quantities of bits at very fast speeds; hence the NOFN. However, broadband needs more than just the pipe. An illustrative list of infrastructure require-ments includes adequate access spectrum (the basic ingredient of mobile communication) and backhaul spectrum (to haul communication from the fringe of the network to the main pipe), towers and network connectivity. These individual components have to be in sync. The element with the least capacity de-termines the overall capacity of the system to deliv-er broadband. Laying the network involves right of way (RoW) issues. The charges levied by municipal bodies for RoW are huge and clearances are cum-bersome. In many cities, RoW charges are five to 20 times (if not more) of the cost of the fibre being laid. A good starting point to gauge DI’s ambition is to assess where we are. India ranks 125th in the world for wired broadband penetration, with 1.2 per 100 in-habitants having access; the global average is 9.4. In wireless broadband, India is ranked 113th, with a pen-etration of 3.2 per 100 inhabitants. India is among the 42 classified as least-connected countries. What is the current state of play of DI? The NOFN is well behind schedule. Three years after commencement, less than 3 per cent of the target had been achieved. Targets were scaled down so that 50,000 gram panchayats would be connected by March 31 this year. This has not been done. The availability of spectrum is a ma-jor constraint. On average, access spectrum in India is 40 per cent of that available elsewhere. On backhaul spectrum, the amount actually allotted is not even 40 per cent of the supply already available. Towers have become a big hurdle in most urban settings. Much of this is to do with ill-informed opinion about potential health hazards.

In-dia’s poster boy of cue sports Pankaj Advani on Wednesday clinched his 13th world title after winning the World 6-Red Snooker Championship in a convincing manner. De-fending champion Advani outplayed Chinese Yan Bingtao 6-2, stamping his authority on the green

baize in the final. The fi-nal started off with a bang with the Bangalore cueist racing to a rapid 3-0 lead in the best-of-11 final. But the Chinese found his form and ran away with the next two frames with the aid of a 66 break. In no mood to give any-thing away, Advani did not allow his opponent to score a single point in the next two. He fired in a massive 71 break in the seventh frame to be one frame away from defend-

ing his title which he won in Egypt last year. In the final frame, Bingtao took a healthy 28-5 lead before missing what was going to be his final shot of the tournament as Advani cleared the table with fi-nesse. A 35 break saw the Indian ace adding another feather in his ever-glow-ing crown. Final: Pankaj Advani (India) defeated Yan Bingtao (China) 6-2: 37-21, 57(30)-0, 32-29, 0-66(66), 6-38(37), 48-0, 75(71)-0, 40(35)-28.

In a first, the young Patel leadership under the aegis of Sardar Patel Group has orga-nized an opinion meet on Gujarat University campus on Thursday. On the agenda is to call Patel students to boycott class-es and voluntarily effect a bandh in GU and GTU colleges on August 25.

Patels have given a clar-ion call for biggest ‘ma-harally’ in Ahmedabad for a show of strength. Ironi-cally, brahmins and other higher caste communities announced parallel rallies seeking reservation. An umbrella forum uniting OBCs that come under reservation have also an-nounced rallies against Patel’s demands. Rash-mikant Patel, general sec-retary of SPG-led Sardar Patel Sevadal-Gandhi-nagar, said, “We called a meeting of all Patidar stu-

THE Gujarat High Court witnessed dramatic scenes Tuesday during the hearing of a PIL in-volving the allotment of government plots to 27 of its sitting and retired judges. Acting Chief Justice V M Sahai, who had a heated exchange with lawyers, said there were “several scams” in the court involving other judges. Late in the eve-ning, Justice Sahai con-stituted a larger bench of three judges to hear the plea and listed its first hearing on Wednesday morning, the day he is scheduled to retire. At one stage of the hearing Tuesday, Justice Sahai said that before taking up the PIL he had sought the opinion of all judges of the court. “They didn’t talk to me. They believed that I had no guts. As far as guts are concerned, I am known to Mayawati and Mulayam (Singh Ya-dav),” Justice Sahai said. He did not elaborate.

In an incident that serves as a warning for social media users, a man posed as a woman to befriend the heir of a prominent religious sect and has now resorted to publicly maligning him. Posing as a girl on Facebook and WhatsApp, two youths managed to get ‘indecent’ photographs of Vijendraprasad Pande alias Lalji, 19, the son of Kaushalendraprasad Pan-de who is the acharya of Narnarayan Dev Gadi of Swaminarayan sect. Lat-er, the youths who ac-cessed the half-nude pic-

tures of Vijendraprasad, submitted an application at Ghatlodia police sta-tion on Monday to file an FIR against him for obscenity. The cops initi-ated a primary inquiry to check the authenticity of the application. It is al-leged that Vijendraprasad had posted semi-naked photographs in the chat box he shared with the Whatsapp user. The ap-plication sparked a con-troversy as he is slated to become the acharya of the Narnarayan Dev Gadi of Swaminarayan sect (Kalupur), once Kaushalendraprasad (the current Acharya) retired.

GCMMF sells milk and milk prod-ucts under the “Amul” brand and has seventeen dairy cooperatives in the

state as its members on the board. With sixteen of the seventeen dairy cooperatives in the state under BJP control, the state government’s say in the matter of election of chairman remains strong. “Jetha Patel was unanimously elected as the chairman of the GC-MMF by the board,” said GCMMF MD RS Sodhi, soon after the meeting of

the board that was attend-ed by the heads of seven-teen dairy cooperatives which are members of the GCMMF, along with a cooperative registrar and GCMMF managing director, who have the power to elect the chair-man. Chaudhary, who had served as the board’s chairman before Patel’s election in August last year, was forced to re-sign from the post after a majority board members moved a no-confidence motion against him fol-lowing charges of finan-cial irregularities levied against him, in January last year. The matter was challenged in the High Court, and then the Su-preme Court. Both the courts upheld the deci-sion of the dairy’s board.
