An abandoned bag sparked a bomb scare on a Pathankot-bound train after which it was halted at Kandrori station in Hi-machal Pradesh and pas-sengers evacuated. Later it turned out to be a hoax as the bag was claimed by a woman hailing from Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. “Around 12 PM, an abandoned bag was spotted by a passenger in the DMU: 74901 Jaland-har-Pathankot train. Two wires were coming out from a packet inside the bag which made the pas-sengers suspicious and they informed the railway authorities. Senior police officials from Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh and Pathankot in Punjab reached the spot,” Ferozpur Divisional Rail Manager Anuj Prakash said.

Delhi’s tryst with desti-ny is back with the odd-even scheme’s return and no matter what happens the scheme will be great for the man behind it— Arvind Kejriwal. The pur-pose of odd-even is iffy, the goalpost seemed to have shifted from curbing pollution to empty roads, and the AAP is still happy about it. Why wouldn’t it be?

Similarly, a li-tre of diesel will cost Rs 48.01 compared to Rs 49.31 at present. The re-duction comes on back of two straight increases in petrol prices - Rs 3.07 a litre on March 17 and Rs 2.19 per litre on April 4, and four straight hikes in diesel prices.

In the day and age of 24/7 media, it has also become about staying in the news, a trick Arvind Kejriw-al has mastered to the T.

Whether it’s abusing the Prime Minister, turning up to show his support for dissenting students (if the area of dissent falls under mainstream media’s pur-view) or retweeting peo-ple who attack the BJP/ RSS/ Centre/ Narendra Modi on social media, Arvind Kejriwal some-how manages to always stay in the news.

The government on Fri-day suspended UB Group chairman Vijay Mallya’s passport on the request of the Enforcement Direc-torate (ED) which is prob-ing money laundering allegations against him. The ED had on Wednes-day sought the revoca-tion of Mallya’s passport. “On the advice of the Enforcement Director-ate, the passport issuing authority in the ministry of external affairs (MEA) has today suspended the validity of Mr Vijay Mal-lya’s diplomatic passport with immediate effect for a period of 4 weeks,

under Section 10A of the Passports Act, 1967,” said MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup. “Mr Mal-lya has been asked to re-spond within one week as to why his passport should not be impounded or revoked under Section 10(3)(c) of the Passports Act, 1967. If he fails to

respond within the stip-ulated time, it will be assumed that he has no response to offer and the MEA will go ahead with the revocation,” he added. The UB Group declined to comment. Last month, the ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act

to trace the suspected di-version of a Rs.950 crore loan granted to Mallya’s Kingfisher Airlines Ltd by IDBI Bank Ltd. The agency issued a third and final summons to Mallya, asking him to appear be-fore it on 9 April. Mallya did not heed the summons and sought time until May for appearing personally before the agency. It is believed that Mallya left the country for the UK on 2 March using a diplo-matic passport issued by the Delhi regional pass-port office to him by vir-tue of him being a sitting Rajya Sabha member of Parliament.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYMercury rising, but most Indian cities still in siesta mode

The rising Mercury has claimed the lives of 130 people in India, according to media reports. Tem-peratures broke records in several places, even as the heatwave continued to torment people. Central and peninsular India have experienced the hottest April yet, this year and temperatures are soaring above acceptable limits. Moreover, weather experts predict further rise in temperatures, particularly in western India, Telangana and Rayalseema. India’s signature long, dry and listless summer months have just begun and people are already dying. Last week, the heat wave claimed 66 people in Telangana and 45 in Andhra Pradesh. The vicious summer of 2015 had killed 2,300-plus people, mostly the poor and homeless. The weather forecast for this year is good and bad: While the first official projection of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) will be on April 20, other weather observers have said the rains will be normal. The bad news: The IMD has announced that temperatures will soar higher than normal between April and June and that the frequen-cy of heat waves will be more than normal in central and north-west India. If last year’s summer was an indicator, this year, too, will see deaths. This may sound alarmist but unless city administrations come out with city-specific Heat Action Plans (HAP), deaths are a certainty. Despite the IMD’s advance warnings, only three Indian cities — Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar and Nagpur — have come up with robust action plans. The benefits of such an action plan were visible last year in Ahmedabad: There were very few deaths in the city though the tem-peratures where consistently high. The highlights of the three heat action plans include simple-but-effec-tive measures: Initiating early warning systems and building public awareness through SMSes, build-ing capacity of health professionals, reducing heat exposure and promoting adaptive measures such as cool shelter zones, avoiding power cuts during heat waves and also long-term mitigating plans such as expanding tree planting and gardens, cool roofs, rainwater harvesting, ensuring availability of drink-ing water and shelter during the hottest times of the day for outdoor labourers and encouraging the use of public transport. None of these are cumbersome and expensive measures but they need advance planning and coordination among different government agen-cies. Other Indian cities should take the cue from the three front-runners and devise their own city-specif-ic plans because high temperatures are not going to be a one-off phenomenon, thanks to climate change, which increases the frequency and severity of heat waves. While 100 people have died in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, 30 people were killed in Odisha.

“We’re looking at inflation. If it continues on a downward path, that would create room. We’re looking for signs of a good monsoon.

Katrina Kaif and her much talked about abs at the re-cently concluded Indian Premiere League opening ceremony is a thing of past. The latest buzz is that the actress at a recent par-ty asked her ex-boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor if they could reconsider the break up. So basically it looked like Katrina wanted to give her relationship with RK Jr another try. It was also reported that Ranbir turned down the actress’ request quite bluntly and asked her to move on. A story in DNA revealed de-tails of Ranbir-Katrina’s conversation at common friend Aarti Shetty’s birth-day party. Katrina appar-ently went up to Ranbir who was chatting with a

group of friends and re-quested if she could have a word with him alone, which he rejected out-right. And to add to the in-sult he also suggested that he had moved on an18d she does so too. Reports also claim that Kat was heartbroken. But hey, I guess RK made sense Ka-trina. The break up and your hot new single status is only going to be good for you. Here’s why…Firstly for any gal includ-ing a superstar there is always your Mr Perfect, may be this one did not work out but there are more fishes in the ocean. So Katrina go out there and may be you will find love again, right guys? Ranbir’s non committal status has been common

with all his ex-lovers. And from the very beginning of their relationship mar-riage talks were strangely only attributed to Katrina. There’s your cue, may be he never would commit. Guess you wanted differ-ent things in life. Marriage certainly doesn’t come on top of the Kapoor lad’s pri-ority list, never has. Bolly-wood believes that single actress is more successful, so even if that is a stereo-type look at the positive side. May be you’ve just become a more sought af-ter lady. Also with no oth-er baggage now you can focus on work. There’s Baar Baar Dekho and Jag-ga Jasoos in hand and pos-sibly you can now better your craft and read more scripts.

WHO says that the prev-alence of the disease has almost quadrupled in the past three decades. In its first global report on dia-betes - a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it pro-duces - the UN health agency warned that cases of diabetes had increased to 422 million in 2014 from 108 million in 1980. The report added that diabe-tes now affects almost one in 11 adults. ”Both the number of cases and the prevalence of diabetes have been steadily increasing over the past few decades,” states the report, released on World Health Day.

Goals from Ken Russell (28th minute) and Nick Wilson (41st) clinched victory for de-fending champions New Zealand, who managed to

weather the hot and hu-mid conditions better than the Indians, whose only goal came from Mandeep Singh in the 36th minute. Wilson’s match-winner resulted from a defensive error committed by the Indians as they failed to clear the ball properly in their own striking circle. New Zealand benefitted from the loose ball in the Indian circle in the 41st minute, when a reverse shot from the goal-line

was padded by the Indian goalkeeper and deflected to the middle. Defend-er Harmanpreet failed to connect in his reflex at-tempt to push the ball out and Wilson had the easiest task of shooting into the goal for what turned out to be the match-winner for the Black Sticks.

Finch and McCullum notched up 85 runs for the opening wicket. Finch made 50 off 36 balls with seven fours and two sixes while McCullum scored a 31-ball 49 with three fours and three sixes.

Headed by Justice (retired) B J Sethna, the commis-sion, which was given four extensions and functioned from a house on Judges Bungalow Road in Boda-kdev area of Ahmedabad, never submitted a report

He was served behind bars in connection with nar-cotics smuggling charges under ‘the NDPS Act’ and also under Section 135A of the Customs Act. In-volvement of Bhavsinh in this case can’t be denied. Ahmedabad Police Crime Branch and Anti Terrorist Squad(ATS) yesterday in a joint operation recov-ered 1300 Kg ephedrine

Tobacco farming in Gujarat is a 150 year old traditional crop and the government encourage us by flag-ging off the Central To-bacco Research Institute in 1947 to bring better

yield through research and we have benefitted from it. We have nev-er been discouraged by the government to stop tobacco farming. But now bidi manufactur-ers have shut operations claiming the increase of pictorial warnings from 40 per cent on one side to 85 per cent across the packet leaves them with just 15 per cent space that is insufficient to mention their brand.This directly affects us our ready crop worth Rs 3000-3500 crores which is lying in farm-er’s homes in Gujarat and may be destroyed as monsoon arrives, if the issue is not resolved by then,” said Gujarat To-bacco Merchant Associ-ation (GTMA) President Bhikhubhai N Patel.
