Asserting that a diversi-fied commercial engage-ment between India and Thailand would greatly benefit both the econo-mies, Prime Minister Na-rendra Modi on Friday said ample avenues for manufacturing and in-vestment exist between both nations, which can pave way for regional economic prosperity. Ad-dressing a joint statement with his Thai counter-part Prayuth Chan-ocha, Prime Minister Modi said trade and commerce

HTT-40 was launched in August 2013 with HAL’s internal funding and was completed in May 2015. From then, it has taken 12 months to fly the first pro-totype. While the HTT-40 programme was almost junked during the UPA rule, Mr Parrikar pushed both IAF and HAL to ensure development of the trainer. Compliment-ing the HTT-40 team for the accomplishment, he said, “when I came here in March 2015 the con-

fidence they had infect-ed me also. They had promised me within one year they will fly the air-craft. I’m happy that they have kept the assurance.” According to HAL, the team behind HTT-40 pro-gramme is “young” with an average age of 29 when it started. The programme aims to achieve its opera-tional clearance by 2018, and towards this the com-pany will be manufactur-ing three prototypes and two static-test specimens.

this situation,” Mr. Yadav said. Shamli District Mag-istrate Sujit Kumar said prohibitory orders have been enforced across the district, including Kairana town, and any march or yatra with political lead-ers would not be allowed without permission. Mr. Som said he postponed his ‘Nirbhay’ rally after prohibitory orders were enforced. “We’ve given a 15 days ultimatum. Either the government gets back the people who’ve migrat-ed, or we’ll have to take to the streets,” he said.

One of the defence counsel Abhay Bhardwaj said that the court has completely rejected the allegtions of prosecution. Meanwhile Mrs Jakia Ja-fri, widow of Ehsan Jafri, expressed dissatisfaction over the verdict and said that she would again start her legal battle against it. ‘Every convict should have been punished. They left half of them and now only 11 have got lifer. Its not fair. I would fight it,’ She said. Mr. Kodekar during course of argu-ment had sought capital punishment or at least life term for the 11 convicts held guilty of murder

terming it a rarest of rare incident. The defense on the other hand had sought leniency from the court on two main grounds; the incident being alleged-ly provoked by firing by Late Mr. Jafri in which one person died and 15 injured and the convicts not being professional criminals. The court had

held 24 of the total 66 accused guilty on June 2 while acquitted the re-maining 36. Six had died during the trial. The court conducted a separate hearing on the quantum of punishment from June 6. Of the 24 convicts 11 are held guilty under various charges includ-ing that of murder while one is guilty of attempt to murder and remaining 12 including VHP lead-er Atul Vaidya are guilty under lesser charges like rioting and unlawful as-sembling.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYAviation policy will help industry regain lost altitude..?

Eighty-four years after JRD Tata heralded the birth of civil aviation in India by operating the maiden flight to Mumbai from Karachi via Ahmedabad; 63 years after government assumed ownership of Air India and Indian Airlines; and 25 years after private airlines were allowed to operate in Indian skies, the country finally has a national civil aviation policy (NCAP) — approved by the Narendra Modi government on June 15. Intriguingly, in a country that operated its first in-ternational flight on June 8, 1948, when most airlines now dominating the Indian skies did not even exist, the delay is inexplicable. It is difficult to surmise as to why the country functioned all these years without a defined national aviation policy. Was it lack of vision? Or, was it driven by the socialist philosophy that avia-tion, deemed as an elitist industry till not long ago, de-served no attention? The political masters overlooked the fact that by not creating an environment condu-cive for the aviation industry’s growth through clear-cut policies they had put India to a great disadvan-tage even though global experiences had shown that the aviation industry acted as a catalyst for economic development. The early-starter advantage that JRD Tata had provided India had been frittered away by our political masters. Whatever be the cause, in ret-rospect, one can only assess and rue the humongous harm the procrastination has caused because even af-ter the need for a national policy was realised in the early 1990s, the policy had remained in the works for 25 long years. The biggest setback has been in the global standing of India in the industry because the only reason why India receives attention from foreign carriers is for exploitation of its burgeoning market and not for any significant contribution. It wouldn’t also be incorrect to say that our market has to a large extent been responsible for fuelling the growth of several carriers in the Gulf and South East Asia. In a marked reversal of mindset, the NCAP now seeks to make air travel affordable by aiming to have 300 mil-lion domestic passengers by 2022 from the present 80 million to become the third-largest civil aviation mar-ket in the world. The NCAP, as an indirect bonanza, will also achieve a larger objective of ending the ad hocism that has existed in the sector. The contentious 5/20 rule (five years of domestic operations and a fleet of 20 aircraft to become eligible for international op-erations) which delayed the NCAP announcement has been one example of ad hoc policy-making to bene-fit a particular airline. As a compromise, the NCAP has replaced it with 0/20, doing away with the need for the five-year stipulation to be eligible because all older private airlines were aggressively campaigning against its total abolition. Even if some aviation an-alysts may fault the NCAP by identifying areas left unaddressed, it is a praiseworthy effort because it en-compasses all major operational facets, particularly the concept of regional connectivity and development of Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO). Both these areas have enormous potential waiting to be exploited. Considering India’s geographical spread and fast-growing economy the huge potential for business and leisure travel in tier two and three cities has remained unharnessed because most airlines have largely concentrated on main cities because of high traffic density and higher fares.

“I am not satisfied with the order as all the convicts should have gotten life imprisonment. The battle is still on and we will fight till we get justice, I am the person who had seen the heinous killing of innocent people, not the court….They (the mob) came well-prepared and attacked innocent people,” - Zakia Jafri, widow of former Congress MP Ahsan Jafri, said she was not happy with

the quantum of sentencing announced by the special designated court in the 2002 Gulbarg Society massacre.

Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab is littered with standout scenes, but none matches the sledge-hammer impact of the climax. Sudden, quick on the draw and stunning-ly to the point, it brings the curtains down on a profane, dystopic vision of a state that was once India’s bread basket but is today burdened with a whole slew of problems, not the least of which are the horrific repercussions of narco-terror. Chaubey

tells his powerful, sinewy story with great dramatic flair, but he never ven-tures too far away from the harsh reality of the nexus between the drug kingpins and the state’s politicians. In one scene, a lawman mockingly de-scribes the current situa-tion as Green Revolution Part Two, drawing atten-tion to the link between the drug menace and Pun-jab’s worsening agrarian crisis. If the film’s keen sense of the times that we live in is impressive,

the way it etches out and develops the key char-acters in the drama is no less commendable. Three of the film’s four principal characters are utterly imperfect, but they are, pretty much like Punjab itself, not be-yond redemption. When self-realization kicks in, they are all ready to give redemption a shot. It is their journey from gloom to hope that Udta Punjab tracks without the slight-est concession to overt sentimentality.

But still, this is a real boy, and the interactions between the children lend the film real charm. The other prob-lem, and this is the big-ger one, is exotic Rajas-than being peddled in the name of naturalism — the ‘leheriya safas’ are too pristine, the clothes are too ‘costumey’, the huts the children live in are too constructed, they look like sets.

Rafael Nadal is on track to make the Olympics and plans to return from a wrist injury at the Toronto Masters at the end of July, days before the Games be-gin, his coach said Thurs-day. “The plan is to play in Toronto because that’s what suits us,” Toni Na-dal, who is also Nadal’s uncle, told a press confer-ence in Mallorca, adding the 14-time Grand Slam title winner could start training on court again in two weeks. “It’s follow-

It will give him time to pre-pare.” Nadal, 30, will miss Wimbledon after failing to recover from the wrist injury which also forced his early withdrawal from the French Open last month. He pulled out of the French Open, where he has been champion on nine occasions, after in-juring a tendon in his left

wrist after just two rounds. Nadal, the world number five, is keen to play at the Rio Olympics after being unable to defend his gold medal at the 2012 Lon-don Games because of a knee injury.

The tournament is being held merely 50 days before the Olympics and most of the teams have rested some of their key players. Even India have given break to a few important mem-bers of the team, includ-ing captain Sardar Singh, striker Ramandeep Singh and drag-flicker Rupin-derpal Singh.

Forestry officials in Ahmedabad have or-dered an inquiry after cricketer Ravindra Jade-ja posted several photos on social media of him and his wife posing with endangered Asiatic lions. Officials from Gujarat state’s Gir wildlife sanc-tuary ordered the probe late Thursday after pho-tos showing the couple in front of a pride of lions during a safari earlier this week went viral on social media. “The Gir Nation-al Park and Sanctuary is a protected area and people are not supposed to get down (from) their

vehicle during safari,” a chief forest conservator A.P. Singh said. “Since it is against the rule to get down (from) the ve-hicle in jungle, we have ordered a probe into the matter,” he said, adding that the penalty would be determined after in-vestigation. In one of the photos on Instagram, the

left-arm spinner is seen smiling and pointing at a pride of big cats resting behind him with a cap-tion “family photo, hav-ing good time in Sasan (Gir)”. The photos were taken just days after the Gujarat forestry depart-ment advised tourists and locals against taking self-ies with lions.

“It is not that pink-ball will save Test cricket but it will be a catalyst,” he added. Jones said the first ever day-night Test which was held at Adelaide last November between Aus-tralia and New Zealand witnessed huge footfall and believes the new in-novation will be a suc-cess. “The Test was bril-liant. On an average there are 1.8 million follow-ers of an Australian Test match. But during the day-nighter there were 3.7 million followers,” Jones said. Jones further said that he wanted to see an even contest between the bat and ball with the pink ball swinging and spinning more.

The gang had given a call to the contrac-tor regarding arrival of a parcel from UK contain-ing 25000 British Pound on May 30.

While issuing the notice, the di-vision bench of the high court led by Chief Justice R Subhash Reddy tagged the case along with an identical petition moved by another e-commerce company Flipkart. The bench will hear the cases together on June 20. Both the firms have challenged the Gujarat Tax on Entry of Specified Goods into Local Areas (Amend-ment) Bill, 2016 passed on March 31. The peti-tioners have claimed that the tax is discriminato-ry as no such tax is im-

posed on goods brought into Gujarat through oth-er modes of sale. They have said that they only provide an online sale platform to manufactur-ers, traders and buyers but the firms themselves are involved in selling any product. From April 1, any goods being pur-chased online are being subject to 6 to 21 per cent entry tax. specified goods are subject to up to 21.6 per cent tax, with majority of goods being levied around 12 per cent tax. The government had amended a 2001 Act, with the aim to cover e-com-merce transactions in its ambit, as the government felt this was adversely af-fecting local traders.
