Rupee bounces back, firms up 10 paise

against dollarAgency | Mumbai, Jun 17

Recovering from a 21-month low, the rupee strengthened 10 paise to 64.16 against the US dol-lar in early trade today at the Interbank Foreign Exchange on selling of the American currency by exporters and banks. Forex dealers said a high-er opening in the domes-tic equity markets and dollar’s weakness against other currencies overseas supported the rupee. The rupee had lost 10 paise to close at 21-month low of 64.26 against the green-back in yesterday’s trade on sustained demand for the American currency from banks and export-ers amid foreign capital outflows. Meanwhile, the benchmark BSE Sensex rose 170.86 points, or 0.64 per cent, to 26,857.37 in early trade today.

Hungarian pianist mulls Indian, West-ern classical fusion

Agency | New Delhi, Jun 17

On a recent trip to India, where he has performed thrice earlier, Hungari-an pianist Balazs Fulei mulled composing a mix of Western and classical Indian music. String and wind instruments used in Indian classical music are likely to go well with the western classical music, says the musician who began playing the piano at the age of eight. “The problem I think is in the tuning because Indian instruments are tuned us-ing a different system. So putting them in one stage, is a question for me, but I always think about that,” he says.Trains movement hit due to fire at Itarsi

ISRO has said it will pro-vide navigational support to the country’s Rail-ways through ‘GAGAN’ (GPS-aided geo-augment-ed navigation) system. “ISRO will provide satel-lite-generated information to the railways through space technology-based tools that will provide safety at unmanned level crossings,” ISRO Chair-man A S Kiran Kumar told reporters here yester-day in reply to a question on how will ISRO help the Railways in using the navigational support system. “There are host of requirements for us-ing GAGAN in railways. We are providing some solutions,” Kumar said. GAGAN is an indigenous navigational guide system developed by ISRO on the lines of GPS system of the US. Elaborating on it, Kumar said that at some places the railway

If water accumulation happens, then based on digital elevation model data, other host of infor-mation which they gener-ate, can be given. “There is specific information provided for aligning the railway tracks, particu-larly in mountainous re-gions, and also identify-ing tracks which are most stable when you are go-ing through tunnels. In all these things, space tech-nology is useful,” he said. “We are trying to provide space technology-based tools for enabling them to deal with unmanned level crossings,” he said.

GAGAN was jointly de-veloped by the ISRO and Airports Authority of In-dia (AAI) with a view to assist aircraft in accurate landing. The GAGAN signal is being broadcast through two Geostation-ary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites – GSAT8 and GSAT10. With the use of GAGAN software sys-tem, a tr ain would know the location of any un-manned level crossing and soon a a warning sig-nal can be given. As soon as the warning signal will be given, the train’s hoot-er will automatically start when it comes near an unmanned crossing.

Then came news reports that the tiger, which had been hiding in a warehouse, had killed a man near the city’s central square. The Interior Ministry initially said the victim had been killed by a lion, Agence France-Presse reported, and mobilized special forces to find the animal.

Study in contrast: BJP leadership defend Sushma, silent on Vasundhara in Lalit Modi row

its first major political crisis since it stormed to power last year. While most senior BJP leaders insist the party has no reason to disbelieve Raje, who has disputed the charge, they say the allega-tions against her are more serious than those faced by Swaraj. The foreign min-

ister is accused of helping Modi get permission from UK authorities to travel to Portugal when his passport was revoked because of money laundering charges against him. Swaraj says she helped Modi on hu-manitarian grounds so he could visit his ailing wife

in Portugal. No senior BJP member at the central lev-el came out in Raje’s de-fence on Wednesday, a sharp contrast from the past three days when top party leaders -- including Home Minister Rajnath Singh, BJP chief Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jait-ley -- threw their weight behind the foreign minister. “Swaraj is a union minis-ter, so central leaders of the party spoke in her defence. In Raje’s case, leaders of the Rajasthan unit of the BJP would be the right peo-ple to defend her. There is no need for central leaders to jump the gun,” a senior BJP functionary said, ex-plaining the party’s silence on the issue. Another par-ty office bearer said Raje spoke to BJP chief Amit Shah on Tuesday night and explained her position to him. “Should we ask Raje to step down just because some fugitive has lev-elled unverified allegations against her?” he asked.

These speeches are for the poor farmers, labourers, safai karam-charis and all those weak and oppressed of the en-tire country.” Vowing to fight for the rights of weaker sections, which the party is keen to woo back, Rahul said, “I am standing with you, whereever you want.

QUOTE OF THE

DAY

Editors’ Picks

The rise and fall of ex-IPL czar Lalit ModiThough tough to imagine, back in the day, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) lived in a cluttered two BHK apartment. Its South Mumbai ad-dress might have impressed those who correspond-ed with it, but not the postman who climbed those dark, dingy stairs leading to the file-filled rooms with peeling walls. Typical of those wily kinds with old money, they were low-key and conserva-tive. And then Lalit Modi came along. He got the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well as the Interna-tional Management Group and subsequently, more worrying acronyms — ED, CBI — would follow. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves in this story of how cricket couldn’t handle money and fame. Those were interesting times, the early days of Modi. The old-timers hated him. He was seen as an upstart. His Twenty20 venture bred mistrust. The maidan cricketers-turned-administrators in safari suits were slowly getting replaced by Armani-clad MBAs. The World Cup veterans of 1987 and 1996 — the age-ing administrators who had greased palms, sought countless permissions from governments, worked on shoestring budgets from cubby holes to success-fully host cricket’s biggest tournament — were seen as misfits in Modi’s project, IPL season one. They sulked silently. When they spoke, they bad-mouthed Modi. But the whispers would die soon as the IPL brought money, serious money. Franchise teams got sold for $725 million, and the television deal was worth $1 billion. Not far from its old modest abode, the BCCI was now housed in a sprawling building next to the Wankhede Stadium, called Cricket Cen-tre. When IPL stakeholders would meet Modi at the new headquarters, Bentleys, Mercedes and Rolls Royces sat in the parking area. The team owners had demands, some old, some new. While asking for passes for their celebrity friends and parking tickets for their VIP friends, they would casually inquire if the stadium had a helipad. Many would fly in from SoBo and be air-dropped at the training ground at the D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai to see the Rajas-than Royals win IPL 1. Cricket’s good old political takeover, which seemed unshakeably permanent for eternity and beyond, was now threatened by a corpo-rate coup. Power equations, rules, culture and even the BCCI constitution — nothing was untouched by change. Cricket was in a tearing hurry, thanks to the Twenty20 format. The aesthetics of the game were sacrificed on the field. In the BCCI’s corridors, due diligence and institutional ethics were alien words. There was no time to sit and brood. It was time to make quick millions, virtually everyday. Even Mo-di-baiters were enjoying the new perks. They had plush offices and revised travel allowance/ dearness allowance at the end of business-class travel.

The actor lost 17 kilos to look the part and his character sports many tattoos. The crew drew inspiration from lo-cals all over Bandra for the same. Malhotra re-veals, “It isn’t something that we made out of thin air. Since he is playing

a Catholic in the film, my crew went into small Bandra bylanes and met people. They clicked pic-tures of their tattoos. We have taken inspiration from the locals — how they dress, how they talk, the kind of tattoos they have, etc. In the film, Ak-shay has a Jesus tattoo on his arm and a cross on his wrist. A lot of other things in his tattoo designs are for impact.” Akshay plays a physics teacher with a hidden past. “As

a physics teacher, he looks like an ordinary man. But when he takes his shirt off, his tattoos depict a story of a vio-lent, turbulent and trau-matic past,” Karan adds. Though Akshay has a few personal tattoos, he never interfered while the crew were choosing the designs. His personal tattoos (the names of his two kids and wife Twin-kle) were covered up as they do not go with his character.

India captain Sardar Singh said his team must improve on its conversion rate ahead of their Hockey World League Semifinal opener on Saturday. “Till now, everything is going fine and we have achieved satisfactory results in our training sessions and practice matches. It is unfortunate that we lost to Belgium in our prac-tice match but we have learnt many things about our strategies from that match, which will help us.

It will be a fresh begin-ning for a full-strength In-dia in limited overs crick-et after the World Cup semifinal exit as they face a buoyant Bangladesh, who have more to gain then their famed neigh-bours, in the three-match ODI series starting on 18 June. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is back at the helm, along with six other ODI specialists to take on a side that made the cricket world sit up and take notice by reach-ing the 2015 World Cup quarterfinals, where they were knocked out by an

in-form Indian side. The series is a platform for the hosts to exact revenge for the World Cup defeat, which had turned ugly after the then ICC Pres-ident Mustafa Kamal of Bangladesh accused the umpires of favouring In-dia. As far as the Indian team is concerned, even a 3-0 result against the hosts will not be enough for the second-placed side to claim the number one spot in the ICC rank-ings, while a favourable outcome for the home team will boost its qual-ifying chances for the 2017 Champions Trophy.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) found its back to the wall as its own corporator protested against what he called “bureaucratic rule” and opposition Congress taunted the ruling party over this at a meeting of general board of Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) on Wednesday. As the bimonthly meeting of the general board of RMC began, Rajendrasinh Jha-la, former chairman of

standing committee of the civic body and BJP corpo-rator from Ward number 2, stood up and request-ed mayor Raksha Boliya to take up his questions on priority basis. Jhala wanted to know about the number of outlets selling non-vegetarian food in the city and details of action taken by RMC against il-legal outlets. He had also sought to know about sta-tus of roads and drains in his election ward. He had submitted his ques-

tion but it was assigned serial number six in the draw of lots. However, the mayor turned Jhala’s request down as Oppo-sition members, whose questions were at the top of the list, raised objec-tions. As Jhala said he would not sit down until he was given time to ask his questions, Leader of Opposition Gayatriba Va-ghela demanded the dura-tion of question hour be extended from the routine one hour to two hours.

K K Muhammed, a retired regional director (north) of Archaeological Survey of India, negotiated with the dreaded dacoits of the Chambal Valley and then the mining mafia to restore 200 temples in Morena, Madhya Pradesh. He is also the man re-sponsible for saving the Taj Mahal from the cor-rosive effects of industri-al pollution. Muhammed, who was in the city on Monday, had a word of advice for Gujarat, which is home to many heritage monuments. The sidelines of a seminar in Cept Uni-versity, Muhammed — also known as the ‘Man of Monuments’ — said: “Gujarat lacks a revenue model despite having a plethora of heritage mon-uments. There are a few monuments in state like, Patan, Modhera, Junagarh

and Champaner that have a ticket system. They too charge a meager amount of Rs 5-10. There is a complete absence of a rev-enue model in Gujarat and the state government lacks vision,” he said. He said: “I am highly surprised that a beautiful monument like Adalaj Stepwell, which attracts a large number of foreign and domestic vis-itors every year, doesn’t have a ticket system.” Mu-hammed said: “ASI needs to get cracking. The orga-nization is breaking up. There is hardly anybody who is interested in look-ing after monuments. ASI also needs to imme-diately upgrade its infra-structure.” The archaeol-ogist also criticized the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act (AMASR) (Amendment and Valida-tion), 2010, as a ‘tooth-less tiger’.

at and told him that they were going to Bhagwat Vidy-apeeth to visit the temple. When they were approaching the temple, three men stopped them and started abus-ing Gadhvi. “Ac-cording to his com-plaint, the group accused him of sexual relationship with the girls. They then demanded Rs 10 lakh if he did not want a police case. They later settled at

Rs 5 lakh. Gadhvi had only Rs 10,000 on him. Thus, the group drove him to Gandhinagar and got Rs 1 lakh from one of his friends. He later withdrew Rs 30,000 from an ATM near Sola. The group forced him to give a cheque for Rs 3.6 lakh as security,” said a Sola police official. Realizing that he was duped, Gadhvi approached Sola police and regis-tered a complaint. “There were two starting points - he had given the phone number of one of the ac-cused and had mentioned that one of the men was in police uniform. On the basis of the clues, DCP Zone I squad and Sola police caught Bharat Chaud-hari, a Lok Rakshak Dal (LRD) jawan with Sola police, Khemraj (Bhikha) Goswami, a resident of Gota, and Jitendra Parmar along with two girls in connection with the case,” said an investigator.
