Incessant rain - caused by a depression in the Bay of Bengal near the Tamil Nadu coast - inun-dated Chennai city and threw normal life out of gear in Chittoor, Kadapa and Nellore districts of Andhra Pradesh on Mon-day. Chennai city woke up to overflowing canals,

overcast skies and roads that resembled Venice’s well-contoured waterways on Monday. Perhaps, the only good news was that the low pressure system was moving towards the southern coast of Andhra Pradesh. In Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu, 72,000 flood-hit people were shifted to shelters.

Atleast 71 people have died due to rain related incidents in the state. The death toll in Cuddalore district rose to 43 on Mon-day.

Justice A K Mathur. The Commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014 to revise remuneration of about 48 lakh central government employees and 55 lakh pensioners. The pay pan-el was asked to submit its report within 18 months of its formation. Howev-er, the Union Cabinet had

extended the term of the panel in August by four months to December. Its recommendations will also have a bearing on the salaries of the state gov-ernment staff. Govern-ment constitutes the pay commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and often these are adopted by

states after some modi-fications. As part of the exercise, the commission holds discussions with various stakeholders, in-cluding organisations, federations, groups repre-senting civil employees as well as Defence services. The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are scheduled to take ef-fect from January 1, 2016.

QUOTE OF THE

DAY13/11 & 26/11 were strikingly different, But India has learnt since

Terror struck Paris once again with chilling horror on 13/11, when alleged Islamic State (IS) terrorists struck at six spots simultaneously, shooting innocent citizens and blowing themselves up. Over 120 per-sons have been killed and many more injured. This attack comes after the one on the offices of Char-lie Hebdo a few months ago and has raised several questions on the way the threat from the IS should be countered the world over. Paris is a symbol of Europe. It is a city that inspires and is the cultur-al capital of the world. Tourists fall in love with its architecture, museums, fashion, art and the general ambience. An attack on such an important interna-tional city has more shock potential than a strike on any other. Comments on foreign news channels have brought out two important points: First, Ger-many, which has far more immigrants than any other country in Europe, has not been attacked and, so, immigrants have nothing to do with the terror strike. Many of the residents of these countries are return-ing after having visited Syria and Iraq and, perhaps, having fought there. Many others are being influ-enced by IS propaganda on the internet and getting radicalised. Second, it is virtually impossible to pro-tect society against such attacks. Parallels have been drawn to the 26/11 attack on Mumbai in 2008. At-tacks on multiple targets by different teams, and the use of the AK series of rifles and explosives remind us of that barbaric attack on Mumbai. It is being said that what distinguishes 13/11 from 26/11 is the re-sponse of the forces and police. But the forces and police in India, too, are much better prepared now to face such a strike. Many Indian states have raised counter-terror forces to respond to such situations. National Security Guard hubs have been created in several cities to reach the scene of a possible terror attack faster. However, we still lack a well-thought-out counter-terrorist doctrine and strategy. A count-er-terrorism strategy consists of four strains: Pre-vent, pursue, protect, and prepare. The first strain, or “prevent”, is the one that needs to be focused on. The IS has, as a matter of strategy, flooded the inter-net with carefully crafted publicity material meant to attract and appeal to young minds. The advice from the IS is: You needn’t come to the theatre of war; you can indulge in spectacular attacks wherever you are. Australian security forces are learned to have neutralised a module that was set up in accordance with this directive. The module was hoping to seize and behead foreign tourists in public places.

“we’re going to look for them everywhere wherever they are hiding. we will find them in any place on Earth and punish them.”

- All 224 people on board, most of them Russian tourists, were killed in the October 31 crash. President Putin vowed to hunt down those responsible for the attack.

Last week, Facebook started allowing Google to “crawl and index its mobile app” in its mobile search results to show publicly available infor-mation. This means Facebook for Android users would now be able to directly jump to the relevant page inside the app from Google mobile search results. “When people search for public Facebook content on the mobile web, those who use Face-book for Android can now click through and go straight to the Facebook app,” said a Facebook spokeswoman to The Wall Street Journal, news that was also confirmed by an Alphabet spokesper-son to the publication. Google had introduced App Indexing earlier this year for Android apps, then later this year for iOS apps. This allowed users to access information from search results and ‘deep links’ within apps that had been indexed by Goo-gle. While the service initially began with only a few app partners, it was soon opened out to all de-

The union territory of Diu will be hosting the first ever 75-day internation-al festival `Festa Di Diu’ (in Portugese), which is likely to go on till Feb-ruary 2016, while Kutch is expected to play host to over two lakh tourists during the three-month long `Rann Utsav` be-ginning by the end of

this month. This is for the first time that two large scale tourism fes-tivals are being held in the same region simulta-neously. Tour operators and travel agents believe that instead of eating into each other’s share, these two festivals will bring in more tourists. In fact, tour operators have re-worked their tour pack-ages covering both the destinations - Diu and Kutch. Though Diu is a union territory, it gets a major share of tourists from Gujarat. “Both the festivals have brought a boom time for tourism industry. Although there will be competition be-tween the two, it will benefit the tourism in the state at the end of the day,” said Manish Shar-ma, chairman, Tourism Development Society.


The lure of puffing a for-eign brand cigarette is now not only limited to metros but also in small cities people want to have it leading to high demand. This demand is being fuelled by cig-arettes brought illegally in the country. These for-eign-made cigarettes are in high demand among youngsters, especially girls in the metros. These cigarettes are sold to the wholesalers on the profit margin of around 45% on the import value. Ciga-rette of different brands like Malimbo Supers-lims, Marso Superslims, Mond Superslims, Rich-man Superslims, Gudan Garam, Luvin Fresh and Djarum Black are in huge demand in the country and are also the most smuggled. Huge margin, increasing demand in local markets and high customs duty has led to exponential increase in cigarette smuggling in last few months. Gujarat is fast becoming a transit point for smugglers to il-

legally bring in cigarettes in the state. Since March 2015, around 4.96 crore cigarette sticks worth Rs 37.29 crore have been seized by DRI and Cus-toms in Gujarat with over 90% of the hauls coming from Mundra port. In last fortnight, in two different seizures, around 86 lakh cigarette sticks worth Rs 6 crore has been seized by the Ahmedabad zon-al unit of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). Last month Feder-ation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Indus-try’s (FICCI) Committee Against Smuggling and Counterfeiting Activities Destroying the Econo-my (CASCADE) had claimed that the illicit trade of tobacco is rap-idly growing in Gujarat. “Gujarat is one of the fastest growing markets for illegal cigarettes and auto components in the country. The supply of le-gal cigarettes shows a de-cline, the illegal players have taken over this mar-ket and is growing at a higher rate,” said PC Jha.


The NASA-ISRO Syn-thetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission will be the biggest collaboration between the two space agencies yet, said a senior scientist from NASA on Monday. The mission in-volves building a 2,600 kg satellite that will “ef-fectively make a time-lapse movie of the earth” while keeping a close eye on disturbances in the ecosystem, ice-sheet collapses and natural haz-ards. “In 2011 we started talking to ISRO and prior to that NASA was think-ing of doing it (the mis-sion) all by itself or in col-laboration with Germany or Canada. It is a much bigger collaborative effort


“Gujarat’s first woman chief minister…” pro-claim the opening lines on most election banners across constituencies in cities, towns and talukas due to elect their local governments on the com-ing Sundays (November 22 and 29). To kick off her campaign Chief Minister Anandiben Patel chose Bapunagar – the neigh-bourhood worst hit by the Patidar riot in Ahmed-abad — on Dhanteras last week, marking the begin-ning of the Diwali festival in Gujarat. Her tone was cautious as she invoked the Gods and said, “they are with us”, to instill confidence in her party workers. She also con-fessed that the elections

would be a tough test, given that the elections to the municipal corpora-tions and panchayats were being held together. (The BJP has always preferred that municipal corpora-tion elections precede rural elections, given its hold over urban voters). Signs that the BJP is ner-vous had become appar-ent weeks earlier when the state government had issued an ordinance to postpone the local elec-

tions and had told the Gujarat high court that a “caste war” like situation prevailed which would not allow the free conduct of elections. The election notification had also kept the None of the Above (NOTA) option out. But with the HC coming down heavily on the ordinance not only would votes of all the elections be count-ed on one day, the voters would get back the NOTA choice. Although the law

has taken care of leader of the Patidar movement Hardik Patel and his key associates, keeping them safely out of the BJP’s way in jail under sedi-tion charges, the anger in the community remains. Which is why in Unjha town, of Mehsana district home to the current BJP top brass, the party has not given tickets to any candidate to contest on its symbol for the municipal-ity elections. Instead, it has fielded independents who can be later co-opted in the local body.

Avirbhav society at Pan-desara for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. “Late Sun-day night, when all the Congress workers left, three unknown motor-bike-borne youths poured some inflammable liq-uid at different places in the tent and set it on fire. They also burnt three parked bikes,” the com-plaint said. The incident

came to light late in the night, and Mishra imme-diately called fire brigade officials and police. Sev-eral people tried to douse the fire before the fire bri-gade’s arrival. The fire officials doused the fire in half hour, Mishra said. The Surat city Congress president Hasmukh Desai said, “The fire erupted in ward no. 27 Congress of-fice. At present it is diffi-

cult to say anything. Let the police carry out in-vestigations. We suspect that this might be aimed to threaten the Congress candidates given the huge support the party is getting.” Pandesara po-lice inspector N R Gohil said, “We suspect that some notorious elements are behind the incident. The CCTV cameras fixed outside a general store behind the Congress of-fice were also burnt and damaged. The accused might have done that in-tentionally. We have start-ed taking statements of the Congress leaders and workers who were taking care of the office, to find out clues.”

than that ever undertak-en by the two agencies,” said Alok K Chatterjee, Mission Interface Man-ager and Launch System Engineer of NISAR proj-ect, Jet Propulsion Lab-oratory (JPL), NASA. Chatterjee pointed out that ISRO will be provid-ing the “spacecraft bus”, S-band SAR payload and the launch vehicle, while NASA will be providing the L-band SAR and the

engineering payload for the mission that will cost over USD one billion. It is expected to be launched in 2020. Chatterjee was in Gujarat Science City for an “outreach event” with other US-based sci-entists associated with the project — including NISAR project scientist Paul A Rosen, Mark Si-mons, Ian Joughin, Scott Hensley, Paul Siqueira and Piyush Agram.

NOTA on electronic vot-ing machine. On Sunday the vacation court direct-ed the commission to file an affidavit. The com-mission in the affidavit has strongly objected the petition by saying, “the applicant is in habit of asking relief after relief as an after thought.” “The court has asked the SEC to further promote the use of NOTA and create pub-lic awareness among the voters,” Koshti said add-ing that the matter will be heard on November 24. Koshti has filed a series of petitions, including against the state legisla-

tion which made the vot-ing compulsory. Follow-ing his petition, the High Court stayed the law and the matter is pend-ing. Koshti also sought court’s intervention to keep NOTA as an option for the voters which the SEC was not implement-ing in the upcoming polls for six municipal corpo-rations – Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Jamnagar and Bhavnagar slated to be held on No-vember 22 and polls for 31 district panchayats, 230 taluka panchayats and 56 municipalities to be held on November 29.

area of the town by bike-borne masked assailants. Almost a week later, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested sev-en accused and revealed that the murders were the result of contract killing perpetrated allegedly by fugitive gangster Javed Chikna and his younger brother Abid.

Sakura I dedicated double stack rail service is oper-ated by NYK, exclusively for containers being im-ported by Maruti Suzuki India Ltd,” it said. The inaugural service was flagged off from Pipavav Port by Keld Pedersen, Managing Director of APM Terminals Pipavav, and Yasuhiro Ishi, GM, NYK Line, along with other senior officials of APM Terminals Pipavav and GatewayRail. Ped-ersen said, “We are very pleased with this partner-ship with NYK Line, and Gateway Rail, providing fast, consistent just-in-time cargo delivery while reducing transportation

costs, pollution and road-way congestion through dedicated double stack rail service.” The compa-ny said the double stack rail movement was pio-neered in India by APM Terminals and the Indian Railways in 2006, with the service rolled out from Pipavav to Jaipur.
