Delhi Zoo saw a good footfall of visitors during the ‘National Wildlife Week’ with thousands of students, parents, teach-ers, green activists and animal enthusiasts par-ticipating in the recent-ly concluded event. The programme at the Na-tional Zoological park here, which began in the first week of October, witnessed a wide range of activities with an em-phasis on the importance of wildlife and its pres-ervation. “We have been organising the National Wildlife Week annually since Delhi Zoo’s incep-tion in 1957. The motive is to generate an interest among children and the adult alike, regarding the importance of wild-life,” Riyaz Khan, Zoo curator said.

People in Wokha district in Nagaland are preparing for the arrival of a special guest. Nay, it is not just one guest, but a huge flock of birds – Amur falcons – from Siberia, which will make a four to five week stop-over in Wokha en route to South Africa. “The birds have in fact started arriving in small groups, and we expect thousands of them in the next two to three weeks,” said Nagaland principal chief conservator of for-ests (PCCF) M Lokeswara Rao from Kohima.

Violence in Punjab town after ‘desecration’ of holy book, 15 injured

Agency | Indore

MS Dhoni delivered a timely re-minder of his worth as an ODI batsman and Axar Patel led the way for a fresh bowling line-up as In-dia managed to overcome a jittery batting effort by shutting out South Africa to level the series at 1-1 in Indore. With their best bowler in R Ashwin injured and Stuart Binny and Amit Mishra dropped, India opted to bring in Axar, Harbhajan

Singh and Mohit Sharma for the second ODI and each played a role in stifling the South Africans after Dhoni’s unbeaten 92 from 86 balls had set up their 247/9 from the depths of 104/5. Axar had the big-gest impact, prizing out three huge wickets to finish with 3/39, his best figures in ODIs. With a 22-run win, India have maintained their 100% record at the Holkar Stadium in their fourth trip. In Ashwin’s ab-

sence, getting optimum out of the spinners was always going to be critical. Axar and Harbhajan de-livered early blows to lift India’s mood. A wild dash at Axar did for Hashim Amla (17) while Quinton de Kock (34) danced down to Har-bhajan and found long-off. With these blows, South Africa slipped to 52/2. Suddenly, with the ball gripping and turning and two close catchers in for two new batsmen,

Members of several Sikh groups protesting against the alleged desecration of their holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, clashed with police in Farid-kot district of Punjab on Wednesday, leaving at least 15 people in-jured. 12 cops, including Bathinda inspector gener-al of police Jitendra Jain, were among those in-jured. Police used batons and water cannons and fired in the air to disperse members of the Sikh groups who gathered in Kotkapura of Faridkot district early on Wednes-day to protest the act of sacrilege in Bargari vil-lage.

The special cover will be released on November 7, during the Lotha Festival to be held in Kohima, he said.

were among the injured. The clash erupted in the main square of Kotkapura when police tried to arrest the leaders of the protes-tors. The protestors also tried to block highways leading to Moga and Bathinda towns.he situ-ation in Faridkot district is tense but under control, officials said. A strong

police contingent has been deployed in the area to maintain law and or-der. Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and his deputy Sukhbir Singh Badal appealed to the people to maintain calm. The chief minister said those found guilty would not be spared. Kotkapura has been tense since more

than 100 pages of the Guru Granth Sahib were found scattered in a street leading to a gurdwara in Bargari on Monday. The pages were allegedly torn from a ‘bir’ or copy of the Guru Granth Sahib that was stolen from Burj Jawahar Singh Wala vil-lage, located 5 km from Bargari, in June.

the match was buzzing. Harbhajan flighted it, Axar varied his pace ex-cellently while landing the ball in teasing areas. JP Duminy and Faf du Plessis pushed the ball around, sometimes ex-cellently, sometimes for-tuitously. The pair defied India for almost 15 overs, adding 82 in the process, until Duminy, on 36, missed a sweep at Axar whose nagging lines pro-duced the fatal shot. An opening had been created. Twelve deliveries later, du Plessis (51) made room to drive at a flighted delivery from Axar and picked out an alert Kohli at catching cover. Enter David Miller, struggling for form, who nibbled at his first deliv-ery faced and was well

taken by a diving Dhoni. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s strike left South Africa at 142/5. The big wicket of AB de Villiers came soon enough, after the South African captain gave a glimpse of his threat with four and six off Bhuvne-shwar, when a full blood-ed slap was intercepted at extra cover by Kohli. Such reflex work in the field was a highlight of India’s fielding, as further embel-lished by another Kohli beauty to get Dale Steyn first ball of the 37th over bowled by Mohit. This left South Africa to get 62 runs in 13.5 overs with three wickets remaining, but it proved too much. India’s bowlers mount-ed the pressure and, with some help from Vineet

Kulkarni who incorrectly ruled Farhaan Behardien caught down the leg side off Harbhajan, the chase petered out. Bhuvneshwar snuffed out two wickets in the 43rd over to end with 3/41. As good as that effort in the field was, India’s victory was not possible without Dhoni’s innings earlier in the day. Winning the toss on an-other good batting surface was a good opportunity for India to push for their first win in four matches against South Africa, but a slew of rash dismissals to pace and spin left the skipper with plenty to do. He delivered, adding 143 to the total while batting with the bowlers after In-dia lost half their side in 24 overs.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYwhat is the principal agenda driving the Bihar election?

All eyes are on Bihar. The reform agenda of the Narendra Modi government will depend on the out-come of this closely fought election. Since the suc-cess of the JP movement in the 1970s, the political and electoral complexion of Bihar has had national resonance. It is likely that the Bihar poll outcome will have a domino effect in the Hindi heartland, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, where elections are scheduled in 2017. So, what is the principal agenda driving the Bihar election? Some maintain that the political formation led by Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad is raking up caste in the name of Mandal part two. A couple of months earlier, this formation, they say, vitiated the provincial political discourse by insisting that the Union government reveal caste-wise details of the socio-economic census. Prime Minister Modi maintains that Mandal repre-sented the collapse of the state and the lawlessness resulting in “jungle raj”. He argues that Mandal 2 will entail “rojana jungle raj ka darr”. This implies that the development agenda will be replaced by caste-centric lawlessness if the RJD-JD(U)-Con-gress combine wins. What is unsaid is that Mandal in Bihar was co-scripted by Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar, the poster boys of the Mandal Commis-sion and development respectively. When Nitish crafted the “coalition of extremes” with the BJP for the 2005 assembly election and persisted with it in 2010, it was described as a pro-development platform. The coalition was fractured when Nitish broke with the BJP. Later, when Nitish wanted to build a “coalition of the poor and marginalised”, it was referred to as a configuration of chosen castes. With Lalu as a significant part of the coalition, the maha gathbandhan is seen as an “out-and-out caste coalition”. Since the 2014 general election, the BJP has been active in co-opting different marginal and subaltern castes in UP and Bihar. After Kalyan Singh, a powerful backward caste leader, was marginalised in UP, the BJP declined to the fourth position in the state’s electoral map. That led to the BJP crafting its political strategy of co-opting the backward castes in the Hindi heart-land, executed with precision by BJP chief Amit Shah. A historical figure like Mauryan emperor Ashok was identified as hailing from the Kush-waha caste. The BJP government issued a stamp on him and his caste antecedents were highlighted at functions in Patna. Yet, the BJP is absolved of caste-centric mobilisation.

India’s annual wholesale inflation for September firmed up slightly at (-) 4.54 percent from (-)4.95 percent for the previous month, official data re-leased on Wednesday showed. The annual infla-tion rate, based on the official wholesale price index (WPI), was ruling at 2.38 percent in Sep-tember, last year. The slight firmness was attribut-ed to rising prices of onions, pulses, milk, egg, meat and fish, which have continued to hit house-hold budgets. On a month-on-month basis, the annual rate of inflation has been in the negative territory since November last year. The data fur-nished by the Ministry of Commerce and Indus-try, revealed a revised rate of the headline infla-tion for July. The WPI inflation was revised lower to (-) 4.00 percent from (-) 4.05 percent which was reported on August 14, this year. For the last six months, the revised WPI data has been (-)0.95 percent in January, (-)2.06 percent in February to (-)2.33 percent in March to (-)2.43 percent in April, (-)2.20 percent in May, (-)2.13 percent in June and (-)4.00 percent in July.

German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz today said the emission scandal involving compatriot Volkswagen cannot be a reason to question capabil-ities and technical advances of diesel engine tech-nology. The company, which reported 34 per cent increase in sales in January-September this year, also said the scandal has not affected sales of its diesel vehicles in India. “This scandal has nothing to do with the performance (of diesel car sales)... I don’t believe that (scandal) is a reason to question capabilities and technical advances of what you can do with diesel,” Mercedes-Benz India MD and CEO Roland Folger told reporters here. Volkswa-gen had admitted to employing a ‘defeat device’ in over 11 million diesel vehicles sold in the US, Europe and other markets which led to manipula-tion of emission tests. The company is facing fines of up to USD 18 billion in the US. When asked if sales have been affected by the scandal, he said: “We at Mercedes have not seen any impact on our diesel sales at all.”

According to rough esti-mates, more than 3,000 cars and over 7000 two-wheelers were de-livered in the state on the first day of Navratri with Ahmedabad accounting for over 30% of the deliv-eries. “We delivered 250 cars and 500 two-wheel-ers on the first day of Na-varatri across our count-ers in Gujarat - mostly in Ahmedabad,” said Sukh-bir Bagga, director of a dealership group which has showrooms across the state. “We recorded deliv-eries of 527 cars across the state, of which over 150 cars were delivered

in Ahmedabad followed by about 70 in Vadoda-ra,” said Rupen Chhaya, general manager of anoth-er car dealership group. However, auto dealers claimed that there was minimal rise in sales com-pared to last year. After a slowdown in last three years, the dealers registered 20% growth in the sales of cars and two-wheelers in 2014. With the beginning of festive season sales are expected to increase by 5%-10%. “We expect good deliveries during all the nine days of Navratri and better numbers on Dusshera, at least 150 units more than those de-livered on Tuesday,” said an auto dealer. Small cars and scooters accounted for most of the deliveries on Tuesday. “As for cars, hatchbacks dominated the deliveries. Among two-wheelers, scooters and 150cc bikes con-stituted the maximum deliveries,” said a city-based dealer.


The Vishwa Hindu Par-ishad (VHP) has put up banners at many garba venues across Gujarat asking non-Hindus to stay away from the dance programmes. “Navratri is a sacred Hindu fes-tival.People who don’t believe in idol worship should stay away. This festival is for Hindus only,” says the banner put up at over 100 ven-ues. This comes a week after the VHP said it

would take “necessary steps” to stop non-Hin-dus from entering garba venues, including ones at residential colonies. The right-wing Hindu organisation justified the ban saying, “Such steps are necessary to stop in-cidents of love jihad, in which Muslim boys lure and marry Hindu girls”. Garba events which are part of the Navaratri celebrations began in Gujarat on Tuesday and will be held every night till October 21. “We

will cover all venues in the city, which are host-ing garba events,” state VHP media coordinator Jay Shah said. Earlier reports had quoted VHP leaders as saying that if non-Hindus were caught at garba venues during Navratri, they would be purified the “Hin-du way” using Ganga jal, gau mutra and tilak. They also said VHP ac-tivists would “patrol” outside and inside the venues to “identify and remove non-Hindus”.

ment here, Vaghela said that the people in Rajkot, Jamnagar and Junagadh and other areas of Sau-rashtra depended on pri-vate water suppliers and had to pay huge amount every month to them to meet their requirement

while the government looked the other way. Stating that the BJP spe-cialised in making an-nouncements of projects but was weak in their im-plementation, the Con-gress leader said that the state government had al-

located a sum of Rs 2,200 crore to fill up 87 big and small dams of Saurahstra to improve drinking wa-ter supply in the region. But despite spending over Rs 2,260 crore, the water supply situation had remained the same and people were facing severe water crisis. He said that the same was the situation with regard to Sujlam-Suflam water supply scheme in north Gujarat. Despite spend-ing Rs 11,000 crore on the project, the area was facing water shortage.

CM was in the district to unveil Rs 106-crore plan to improve facilities at Pavagadh, a pilgrim-age site. She launched the first phase of the plan to four-lane the existing

road connecting Halol and Pavagadh and widen the route that leads up to the temple situated on the hill-top. The event was held at Pavagadh amidst initial threat from the members

of the Patidar Anamat An-dolan Samiti (PAAS) to disrupt the event, which kept the police on their toes. Police, however, said that the PAAS members had finally agreed to stay away from it. Speaking at the event, Anandiben Pa-tel stressed upon the gov-ernment’s commitment to provide facilities to the youths, including train-ing and scholarship, even waiver fees for medical and engineering colleges for students coming from the economically weaker section of society.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upbraided sacked Gujarat IPS of-ficer Sanjiv Bhatt for giving a “tutored” state-ment to a court-appoint-ed special investigation team probing the 2002 post-Godhra riots and attempting to implicate Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the case. A two-judge bench of Chief Jus-tice HL Dattu and Justice Arun Misra said Bhatt acted in “deliberation and consultation with” the leaders of the opposition political party, NGO ac-tivists and mediapersons to furnish false evidence to prove he was pres-ent at the February 27, 2002, meeting chaired by Modi, who was then Gu-jarat chief minister. “Ex-change of e-mails which are self-explanatory in-dicates that the petitioner was in active touch with leaders of rival political party, NGOs; their law-

yers tried to play media card and he was being tutored by NGOs,” the bench said, without nam-ing any political party. The Congress was in opposition in Gujarat then. Questioning Bhatt for making allegations against the state nine years after the alleged in-cident, the top court chid-ed him for approaching it with “unclean hands”. The bench said evidence placed before the court by the Gujarat govern-ment revealed Bhatt was making attempts to know who were present at the meeting, thereby sug-gesting that the IPS offi-cer didn’t attend it. The

court’s scathing remarks against Bhatt came while it dismissed his petition for a court-monitored SIT probe into the two cases lodged against him by Gujarat police — one for allegedly coercing his junior officer KD Panth to submit an affi-davit against then chief minister Modi before the court’s probe panel into the Godhra riots and the other for allegedly hack-ing the account of the state’s then additional advocate general Tushar Mehta, now an addition-al solicitor general. The court ordered expeditious trial in the two cases.

may become a health risk. Hospital authorities are being kept informed of these,” says a senior AMC health official. As the city continues to grapple with dengue, 10 people — in-cluding a one-year-old boy — were admitted to a private hospital with the deadly disease late on Tuesday night. The boy, a resident of Devam Apart-ments in Motera, had a high-grade fever and cold for the last four days. Se-nior consultant Dr Manoj

Vithlani said: “Children, especially infants and toddlers, are more vulner-able as they lose body flu-ids quickly. Any kid with dengue symptoms should be given plenty of wa-ter.” He said: “Any child who has a fever should be monitored for at least 3 or 4 days. Parents should not give children any medica-tion without consulting a doctor. Paracetamol, as-pirin, brufen-based medi-cines are strongly advised against.”
