CSK, RR franchises suspended for two yearsIPL Spot Fixing Verdict: The RM Lodha-led committee, which also includes former judges Ashok Bhan and RV Raveendran, declared the ‘quantum of punishment’ on Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra as well as

“IPL Spot Fixing Verdict”

Greek Reforms Would Face Political, Legal Backlash in Germany

Agency | New Delhi

The Indian Premier League had turned into a rich, pompous and spoilt brat, much like the board that mothers it. It was a bubble waiting to burst. And unsurprisingly, it was laid bare on Tues-day by the Justice Lodha committee constituted by the Supreme Court. Offi-cials with vested motives and conflict of interests made merry while the cricket circus was in its pomp. They threw the IPL’s then-chief Lalit Modi out in 2010 on the pretext misconduct, in-discipline and financial irregularities. But matters only worsened in the next couple of years. Three Rajasthan Royals players were arrested in the 2012 edition, charges of bet-ting and corruption were levied against Raj Kun-dra, the then-co-owner of the Royals, and Gurunath Meiyappan, the then-offi-cial of the Chennai Super Kings. The misdoings of

Kundra and Meiyappan were thought to have brought the game to dis-repute by the SC commit-tee. The two teams were suspended for two years and the officials banned for life. But what were we expecting when N Srini-vasan, at one point, head-ed the BCCI and the In-dia Cements - that owns the Chennai Super Kings - at the same time. Lit-tle wonder then that his son-in-law, Meiyappan, took the leeway to bet on games, pass on team in-formation to bookies, etc. On the face of it, the sus-pension of the two teams does look ominous. But the genuine cricket sup-porter out there need not worry. For it will not be a six-team IPL. There is too much money involved for the BCCI to go ahead with reduced teams, even the sponsors and the broadcasters would not agree. But the BCCI should not fight odds to reinstate the guilty teams.

If Greece implements the measures agreed with its creditors early Monday, the embattled country could end up a more flexible economy than Germany—at least on paper. Many of the overhauls on Athens’ to-do list are inspired by the labor market, welfare state and fiscal policy reforms that Germany, then a struggling, unem-ployment-riddled econ-omy, enacted in 2003

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Thus goes the famous Murphy’s Law. Every-thing indeed went wrong at the Pushkar ghat-1 in Rajahmundry when a stampede at the ritual Pushkaram bath site, on Tuesday morning, left at least 27 persons dead at last count, and thrice that number injured. This should be a strong indictment of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s self-trumpeted manage-ment skills. The grandiose arrangements — spec-tacular laser show and the extravagant publici-ty blitzkrieg — have all

and 2004. But others go much further and would face a political and legal backlash if implemented here. While most econo-mists agree that Germa-ny’s purring economic engine is in no urgent need of fixing, political-ly, the fact that Berlin has balked at some of the measures it is prescribing others could add to the populist narrative gain-ing ground across the continent—that a Ger-man-led Europe is bent

not on repairing but on punishing weaker neigh-bors for their past sins. “The attitude in Germa-ny…is that we have the lowest unemployment so ‘what do you have to tell us?’,” said Christian Odendahl, chief econ-omist at the Centre for European Reform, a nonpartisan think tank in London. Germany has the European Union’s lowest jobless rate at un-der 5%, compared with nearly 26% in Greece,

the highest in the bloc. It boasts a sizable bud-get surplus, strong ex-ports and a well-financed welfare state. But econo-mists have also slammed it for its rigid labor laws, antiquated rules that en-courage rent-seeking in many professions, and a recent rollback of past overhauls. In the deal struck by eurozone lead-ers on Monday, Greece could get up to €86 bil-lion ($96 billion) in fresh loans, provided it enacts several bills in a matter of days. Creditors want pension reform, higher taxes, and promises to cut spending this week, followed by judicial re-form and rules on wind-ing down broken banks. Many go further than what even a struggling Germany could stomach a decade ago.

The Andhra stampede is a loss of face for Chandrababu Naidu, here’s why

gone for a toss with the stampede at the very main entrance, the threshold for the holy bath on the first day of the Godavari Pushakaram. The basics of handling large crowds was found missing when devotees suddenly gushed towards a wall to climb it and gain entry into the

Pushkar ghat for the bath. All hell broke lose result-ing in a stampede. The chief minister may not be responsible for the di-saster directly, but he has been personally oversee-ing the arrangements for the ‘Maha Pushkarams’, as claimed by a section of the press.

The message should be clear - corrupt teams have no business of being a part of the IPL. It is a step in the right direction, let us embrace it leaving our emotional connects locked away. So in such a case, while it will be dif-

ficult for CSK and RR to challenge the verdict of a SC appointed committee, the IPL next year will in all likelihood see eight teams. The BCCI could either call in for new teams, ask for a complete change in ownership of the suspended sides or bring in the old franchis-es - Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kera-la. There have even been

reports of the latter’s desire to return to the fold. One question that remains is whether the punishment could have been harsher. When the committee was constitut-ed in January, there were talks of the teams being banned from the IPL. Would that set a better example and debar offi-cials of any other teams from indulging in such wrongdoings, we will not know. While the delayed verdict on IPL COO Sun-dar Raman is concerning, what is equally worrying is that there was no word on the names of the play-ers mentioned in a sealed envelope submitted to the SC earlier.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYgreat anxiety about the future of higher education in India

A combination of half-baked schemes, anti-intellectu-alism, institutional rot and privileging ideology over pedagogy is putting universities at risk. Now Ama-rtya Sen has made his own experience at Nalanda into an occasion to turn the international spotlight on the growing political assault on higher education, publish-ing on this subject in the venerable New York Review of Books, which has always acted as if there were no intellectual life if not mediated by the eastern seaboard of the US. In India, the response to Sen’s warnings about education have been distasteful in the extreme, exemplifying the pathologies of our intellectual life. We should take his warnings seriously. But there is also a danger that Sen’s luminosity can blind us to the deeper forces that have brought us to this pass. Confin-ing our gaze on one or two individuals, or the present moment, will lead to a misleading diagnosis. Academ-ics are good at deconstructing everyone’s privileges but their own. Contrary to arguments being made in India at the moment, there is nothing unprecedented in the interference of this government, even in scope and scale. Every single political transformation in India has led to more interference in universities. The first waves of linguistic politics in the 1960s licensed interference and destroyed the regional universities, making them dens of parochial politics. The big movements of the 1970s made many universities ungovernable. The Left Front government in West Bengal probably produced the single-most systematic assault on an established system of higher education, creating an unimaginable degree of party control. The destruction of Calcutta University was a far more watershed event for high-er education than the travails of Nalanda; West Bengal now has a gross enrolment ratio in higher education lower than that of UP. But our muted protests then have cast a long shadow over our credibility now. There is almost no chief minister in India who has a half-decent record on higher education; even as Nitish Kumar was building Nalanda, he was ensuring that the rest of Bi-har’s universities remained basket cases. Even at the Centre the rot set in a long time ago. There is conve-nient historical amnesia about Arjun Singh appointing a clutch of vice chancellors in the middle of the night. Kapil Sibal acted as if everything from course structure to the mode of exams to the de-recognition of dozens of universities was the minister’s personal prerogative. All the institutional contrivances that are now leading to the destruction of Delhi University were perfected under the previous regime. It is always distasteful to pick on individual offices, but one needs to look only at the appointment of the chairman of the University Grants Commission, and the condition of that organ-isation under the UPA. When the bulk of the public higher education system was laid to waste, we hid be-hind the convenient garb of progressivism. The result was not public consternation at the political class, but an utter lack of faith in the intellectual class.

Young Kedar Jadhav struck his maiden inter-national century as India thrashed Zimbabwe by 83 runs in the third and final cricket ODI to com-plete a 3-0 series white-wash, in Harare on Tues-day. Jadhav smashed a career-best 105 not out off just 87 balls to en-able India recover from a top-order collapse and post a competitive 276 for five after being asked to bat at the Harare Sports Club. Jadhav, in the able company of Man-ish Pandey (71), put on a crucial 144-run stand for the fifth wicket to re-

vive India after a sloppy start. Chasing the target, Chamu Chibhabha kept Zimbabwe in the hunt with an 82-run knock but the hosts kept on losing wickets from the oth-er end to be eventually bowled out for 193 in 42.4 overs. Chibhabha, the most successful batsman for the hosts in the series with two con-secutive half centuries, played a gritty knock that came off 109 balls with the help of seven boundaries. Zimbabwe’s chase never got going after the early dismissal of Hamilton Masakad-za (7), who fell LBW to Mohit Sharma (2/33) in

the sixth over. Chibhabha and Regis Chakabva (27) then put on a 70-run sec-ond wicket stand to keep Zimbabwe afloat before Indian bowlers picked up two wickets in quick succession to derail the hosts’ chase. Chakabva was cleaned up by left-arm spinner Axar Patel (2/39) in the 23rd over before skipper Elton Chigumbura (10) fell LBW to part-time spin-ner Murali Vijay (1/19).

Sources in the state-run Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GU-VNL) believe that if the state remains rain less for the next 10-15 days, the peak power demand may well cross 15,000 MW.

Officials of the State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC), the nodal agency to track real-time power genera-tion and distribution, the demand from the industri-al sector has remained the samebut there has been a significant increase in power for farming. “The main reason for power demand peaking is the additional two hours of electricity being supplied to farmers for irrigation,” said an SLDC officer. Electricity consumption in households has also shot up because of de-layed rains.

who has a real estate business. The relatives of Rahul’s family hugged his father to console him as he broke down before entering the courtroom and also after the judg-ment. Premshaknar Dave, father of the second victim Shivam Dave, said: “We are satisfied with the judg-ment. We cannot comment whether the quantum of punishment was less, be-cause we don’t want to

question the judiciary. My family has struggled all this while to see this judgment and now we are at peace.” Shivam sister, who could not stop cry-ing in the court, said: “My brother died a horrible death. There is not a single festival or occasion where we do not miss him. Ev-ery time we feel there will be a miracle and he will come back.” Mitesh Shah, one of the key witnesses

in the case, said: “I was the only one who stuck to the statement given to the police and stood by to support the youths’ fami-lies, even as their friends, who were key witnesses, turned hostile. Till today, I didn’t repair my Hyund-ai Accent car that Vismay had first rammed into be-fore hitting the two boys. I am happy that their families have got justice today.”

grims during the Kumbh Mela that gets under way in Nashik Tuesday. At a specially designed police control room, 12 other policemen and wom-en have been trained to make announcements to be played over 250 speakers at vantage points in Nashik. They get their instructions on what to announce from personnel monitoring the feed from 348 CCTV cameras at various lo-cations across the city. Seated in the state-of-the-art control room at the Nashik police head-

quarters, those monitor-ing the CCTV feeds also give policemen deployed on the ground directions based on the traffic situa-tion at specific locations. For instance, says Prami-la, “If the footfall at Ram-kund is more than 1/10th of the area’s capacity, we have to instruct the pilgrims not to enter it until further instructions. We have to, however, greet the visitors first, saying ‘Nashik Kumbh Mela main sabhi bhaviko ka swagat hai (We wel-come all pilgrims to the Nashik Kumbh Mela)’,

and follow it up with the directives.” “The same instructions must be given in three languag-es — English, Hindi and Marathi,” she adds. The entire exercise is moni-tored by a senior police officer. The 2003 Nashik Kumbh was marred by a stampede. To avoid a re-peat of such an incident, the state government has constructed seven new ghats to accommodate the lakhs of pilgrims who have already started de-scending on the city from all over the country and abroad.

wild animals including 10 Asiatic lions had also lost their life. Apart from Amreli and Rajkot, sev-eral villages of adjoining Bhavnagar district were also affected. Strong winds and incessant rain caused considerable damage in some parts of South and central Guja-rat, including Vadodara, Bharuch and Valsad. Ac-cording to Patel, around 300 villages in Guja-rat were affected due to heavy rains and floods, which washed away around 50,000 hectares of agriculture land and caused heavy losses to more than one lakh farm-ers. “Floods in Shetrunji and Bhadar river caused maximum damage to farmlands in Amreli and Rajkot district. Under this relief package, we have decided to give a compensation of Rs 25,000 per hectare to the farmers.
