President Pranab Mukher-jee expressed concern on Friday over Parliament being turned into an “are-na of combat rather than debate” as he called upon political leaders and par-ties for “serious thinking” on corrective measures.

The Gujarat government has decided to offer ti-tle ownership of forest land to forest dwellers to whom the land is al-lotted under the Forest Rights Act, 2006, so that they could enjoy benefits of various government

schemes meant for reg-ular farmers and could avail bank loans on the basis of the land proper-ty. CM Anandiben Pa-tel announced this while distributing the order let-ter of land ownership to nearly 800 tribals farmers at a programme held in

Santrampur in the new-ly-carved Mahisagar dis-trict on Friday. The new change will be made pos-sible by converting vil-lages falling under forest areas as revenue villages, which makes it possible for the government to recognise the ownership

Narendra Modi indicated that threat emanates from Pakistan based terrorist groups and their Indian affiliates like the Indian Mujahideen and mem-bers of ex-SIMI to pos-sible targets like Lotus Temple, Malls in Noida, Metro Stations, Red Fort and Political Personali-ties. In a communication to all the forces and state police the Ministry has

cited an April 16 input suggesting that Al Qaeda in the Indian Sub-Conti-nent (AQIS) was active-ly engaged in planning attack against India at Indian Naval facilities and other unsecured wa-terfronts as potential tar-get. “In this regard the Southern Naval Com-mand in Kochi (INS Ven-duruthy), Western Naval Command in Mumbai

and the Naval base in Karwar (INS Kadam-ba) could be targeted,” it said adding that Guja-rat may also be targeted. The communication said an input received in Sep-tember last year claims that AQIS has been plan-ning to target BJP offic-es, commercial, tourist, religious, aviation and railway infrastructure in various states. “To count-er threat from remote pi-lotless vehicles, remote controlled aircraft, para gliders and hang gliders, open grounds and spac-es, abandoned air strips etc allowing lift off or launching pads for these flying objects need to be identified and suitably secured by patrolling and deploying of security forces.

The correctives

of land to the title holder. This marks a shift from the practice being fol-lowed by the government under which it remained the owner of the forest land. In the absence of actual title ownership of forest land, the tribals were bereft of benefits of government schemes and bank loans against land, among other things. “When I learnt from the officials that the land that is being given to the tribal farmers under the Forest Rights Act did not actually belong to them and they did not enjoy the ownership of the land as farmers do, we decided to make changes. If the for-est land is not given in the name of the tribals, it will make it difficult for him to avail bank loans and other benefits by using land as guarantee,” said Patel at a huge gathering of peo-ple at a pre-independence programme held in Ma-

hisagar district. Patel will unfurl the national flag in Lunawada, the head-quarters of Mahisagar district. “Taking a lead in the country, the Gujarat government has decid-ed to issue forest land in the name of the tribals so that they could enjoy government scheme ben-efits that are enjoyed by farmers. We have recti-

fied the process further so that the land is issued in the name of both the husband and wife so that when something happens to the man, his wife’s rights over the land is not snatched away, and she could avail all benefits of government schemes and take bank loans,” she added. “From today onwards, the government

will start giving you all the benefits that are en-joyed by the farmers of non-tribal regions. Each tribal village will be giv-en the status of a revenue village,” she said. Under the Forest Rights Act, forest dwellers are giv-en ownership of the land they have been living on or depend on for their livelihood.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYTalking won’t fix the problem, Dialogue is a process, not an outcome

Two were killed in the first ambush: their bodies tied with ropes, they were dragged more than a mile to the Pakistani side of the border. Four more sol-diers were killed nearby, just a day later; three were shot dead soon after. To the south, Pakistani troops and irregulars raided villages, leaving in their wake burned homes, destroyed fields and refugees, each with stories that threatened to ignite communal car-nage. It was June 1951, and the gods of war had be-gun to gather over the bloodstained line separating Pakistan from India in Kashmir. From October 1950 to March 1951, Parliament was told, Pakistan’s po-lice and armed forces participated in 63 raids and clashes. Even as Pakistan pushed forward an in-fantry division positioned to cut into Kashmir, In-dia responded by positioning armoured forces for a counter-offensive into Pakistan’s Punjab heartland. Inside the Pakistan army, and on the streets, hawks pushed for a jihad. “I am not without fear that wild men may take charge,” the diplomat Girija Shankar Bajpai wrote in a 1951 letter to Vijayalakshmi Pan-dit, “and lead into dangerous adventures”. Later this month, when the National Security Advisors of the countries meet, both will be seeking to avoid just those “dangerous adventures”. The long-forgotten 1951 crisis holds out two depressing lessons. First, little has changed. Then, as now, what we today call the Line of Control is seeing escalating violence and growing talk of war. Second, national toolkits haven’t changed either. Pakistan’s principal instru-ment of pressure remains covert warfare. India, in turn, has little to draw on other than threats of war. Talking won’t fix the problem. Dialogue is a process, not an outcome — and the on-again, off-again dia-logue that has become establishment theology has had precisely the wrong kind of outcome, entrench-ing a grim stalemate. It isn’t hard to understand why the dialogue process has led to a cul-de-sac. Paki-stan’s military establishment has learned that covert war against India can be pursued with impunity, as their crisis-averse neighbour will, sooner or later, re-turn to the negotiating table. Pakistani politicians, in turn, have come to believe India is just stalling to avoid negotiating a thoroughgoing peace. In India, the successive crises have engendered growing cyni-cism about the prospect of peace. Long before Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ministers held out threats to Pakistan, former NSA M.K. Narayanan had reached this conclusion: “Talk-talk is better than fight-fight, but it hasn’t worked so far.” Fighting, though, is also a process, not an outcome. In 1951, a CIA estimate concluded that, in every scenario it considered, India would be victorious. However, it noted, “its success would not be quick or easy”.

“It has been going on. The definition of OROP has been accepted earlier. The point is whether whatever was defined will be implemented. I will not go into more details. Let us see if the Prime Minister says something tomorrow (in his Independence Day speech).”

- General (retd) VP Malik, India’s army chief during the Kargil victory, revealed on Friday that he acted as mediator between military veterans and the government on OROP issue but gave up “within 48 hours”

An overblown, ultra-vio-lent melodrama, Brothers spills a lot of blood and breaks plenty of bones on the way to establish-ing the primacy of frater-nal love. The collateral damage that the film in-flicts isn’t confined to the screen alone. Its excesses could drive the more sen-sitive and discerning of Bollywood pulp lovers off such fare for a spell, if not for good. Broth-

ers is an official remake of the 2011 Hollywood actioner Warrior. With the predilections of In-dian audiences in mind, it tweaks the source sto-ryline in significant ways in a bid to whip up high-pitched emotions and over-the-top drama.The film has loads of both – emotion and drama. Yet, it is strangely torpid be-cause ring hollow. In any case, how edifying and exhilarating can the sight of beefy men pummel-

ing each other be when it is stretched beyond two and a half hours? The tale revolves around two Mumbai half-broth-ers, part of a family that once was. Fate brings the two streetfighters head to head in a bloody mixed martial arts contest. One of them is in the arena for the money that could save his ailing daughter; the other is in the game to redeem his alcoholic father, the man at the root of all their troubles.

Earlier it was reported that film, that is a sex-comedy, was awaiting certification from the board because of

its bold content and hence the movie was not cleared for release in May. Later, the film was sent to the Revising Committee for a change in the decision but again the commit-tee found the content too bold for viewing. It was also reported that follow-ing this, the makers of the film decided to approach the Film Certification Ap-pellate Tribunal.

began her singing career at a tender age of four. After completing her academic qualifications in Delhi she shifted to Mumbai, where,

a TV host spotted her tal-ent and expressed to her parents after which she participated in many com-petitions and shows.

Manu Returns is now awaiting the release of her next film ‘Katti Batti’. The ‘Queen’ actress says she is glad that the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has suggested her name for Katti Batti. It was Salman Khan who called up Kangana and asked her to hear the script once. On hearing it, she immediately agreed to do the film. Kangana was present at a radio station in Mumbai to pro-mote the film along with her ‘Katti Batti’ co-star Imran Khan. Kangana really worked hard and has come a long way in her career today. The Tanu Weds Manu actress said, “After Queen, I was flooded with women-centric scripts and naturally my interest would have been in movies wherein my role has importance. I

wouldn’t have given a thought to Katti Batti. I trust Salman and his instincts so when he called

up and insisted me on at least hearing the story, I had to give it a try. When I did hear the story, I

didn’t take even a second to say yes. It’s an amaz-ing script.” Kangana said that her character Payal in Katti Batti is different to that in Tanu Weds Manu franchise. She said, “Nobody is like Tanuja Trivedi in this whole world. Payal’s is a different charac-

ter, her life is not that exciting as Tanuja’s. But yes, she is one of those people who I identify

with.” Katti Batti is helmed by Nikhil Advani and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur under the banner of UTV Motion Pictures. Katti Batti is an anti-love story starring Imran Khan as Madhav Kabra (Mad-dy) & Kangana Ranaut as Payal. The film is all set to hit the silver screens on September 28.

With the annual rate of inflation, as gauged by the wholesale price index (WPI), contracting to a de-cade low of -4.05 per cent in July, the clamour for a reduction in key interest rate by the central bank has gained further momentum. The WPI declined sharply on the back of lower fuel and food prices during the month– with food prices which comprise 14.33 per cent of the WPI basket declining 1.16 per cent and fuel and power with a weight of 14.91 per cent registering a steep contraction of 12.81 per cent during the month. This is the steepest fall in data since 2005. The data is in line with the move-ment in commodity prices across the globe. Oil, industrial and precious metal prices have been hit hard amid apprehensions that the downward slide in commodity prices is likely to reach a 13-year low, exceeding the low reached during the finan-cial melt down of 2008.

The Gear 2 would feature a circu-lar dial, as seen in the Moto 360, the LG Watch and many others – something which seems to be a change in trend over the past couple of months.

Indian hockey team end-ed their European tour on a high as they com-fortably beat Spain 4-2 in the final encounter to win the three-Test series by 2-1 margin, here on Thursday. For-ward Ramandeep Singh turned out to be the hero with double strikes within a minute’s gap (50th and 51st min) to clinch the match for Sardar Singh’s boys.

The announce-ment comes a day after the Leuva Patels’ Shree

Khodaldham Trust toned down its anti-reservation stance and offered to me-diate. “Patidars must get reservation. We declare our support to the agita-tion,” said Dayabhai Pa-tel, president of the Sidsar outfit said in a statement. The climb-down was ex-pected as, much like Leu-vas, the Kadva leaders too fear becoming magi-nalised in the community at a time when the pro-tests for reservations are spreading like wildfire across the state.

Every year, several roads are washed away in the northeastern states due to heavy rains and land-slides damage properties worth crores besides kill-ing people. To contain this, city-based Ahmed-abad Textile Industry’s Research Association (Atira) will help north-east state governments develop safe, durable, low-cost and effective infrastructure in fragile geological conditions in the region using geotech-nical textiles. The minis-try of textiles in March this year had launched ‘Scheme for promoting usage of geotechnical textiles in north eastern region’. While the office of textile commissioner has been appointed nodal

agency for the scheme, the Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Geotextiles at Atira is one of the ma-jor technical authorities involved in the imple-mentation of the scheme. Besides building roads, geotechnical textiles will also be used to construct hill slope protection and reservoir linings. “Tradi-tional civil engineering solutions for construc-tion of hill roads in these landslide prone and sink-ing terrains have not been very successful in retain-ing the infrastructure for a longer duration,” said R M Sankar, principal scientific officer, Atira. Geotextiles or geotechni-cal textiles are permeable fabrics which, when used with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, rein-force, protect and drain.

Many of his col-leagues and the Bar did not attend the high tea hosted by him at his res-idence. When contact-ed, Justice Sahai. “You think anyone would have come?

habad late at night.

lic place and when the workers asked them to in-form them about the law under which they were fined, the policemen had asked them to enter their van,” he said. “When I intervened, they took me to Vejalpur police station where we met inspector Valand. I asked him the same questions which my colleagues who were fined for smoking had

asked the policemen who fined them. Valand became furious started abusing us,” Barot said. “Later, Valand asked his subordinates to kick me out of the police station, but when I told him that he could not do so being a public servant, he abused me and started beating me until I was thrown out of the police station. He also tried to break the cellphone of my friend who was video recording the entire episode,” Bar-ot said. Barot also wrote to Joint Commissioner of Police Rajiv Ranjan Bhagat of Zone 1 to take action in the case. Barot said that Bhagat assured him that action would be taken against Valand within a week.

The ZSL and the forest department had signed a memoran-dum of understanding for protecting the Asiatic lion and its habitat. In 2014, the ZSL had launched ‘Lions400’ campaign to raise funds for saving the Asiatic lion. Y V Jha-la, head of WII’s animal ecology and conservation biology division, said that earlier a Gir lion was giv-

en as gift to the ZSL for its zoo. In return, the ZSL raised funds and decided to support the move to install GPS-aided camera traps in Gir. Jhala said the advantage of these traps is that they can record ac-curate data and help the forest department keep watch on poaching and illegal activities, besides ensuring that forest beat guards visit their desig-nated zones. These cam-eras will be camouflaged and will not disturb even birds. He said the battery in each camera will have to be replaced every 15 days.

Days after the written test, Rajkot district panchayat re-ceived anonymous letter alleging paper was leaked in Rajkot also. In turn, Rajkot district panchayat officials sent the letter to city police commission-er on July 23 requesting suitable action. The mat-ter was handed over to Crime Branch which con-

ducted a primary inqui-ry and registered a com-plaint on August 13. The FIR names Vikram Mak-wana, a teacher at gov-ernment primary school in Meghpar village of Maliya taluka of Morbi district, Hardas Dangar, a talati mantri of Haripar Pal village in Rajkot dis-trict and Dangar’s brother Dinesh, a resident of Moti Baral village in Maliya taluka.
