In the context of the UN Sustainable De-velopment Summit for formal adoption of post-2015 new sustainable development agenda, he said, “Coming from a culture that regards har-mony as central to its ethos, I am glad to have an opportunity to address this forum. The new goals are closely aligned with

India’s vision for sustain-able development and our flagship programs for the same.” With regard to the Summit on peacekeeping, the Prime Minister noted that India has historical-ly been one of the largest contributors to the UN peacekeeping forces with 1,80,000 Indian troops having participated in UN peacekeeping missions – more than from any other country.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYThe post-dengue prognosisIn any free society where terrible wrongs exist, some are guilty; all are responsible.” While these words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel ring true for many social and political ills that appall us, they are also a timely reminder of our collective respon-sibility to correct the pathetic state of public health in our country. Accepting the failures of a dysfunc-tional health system with passivity or being paci-fied by reflexive responses to any crisis, while ig-noring the crying need for systemic reforms, makes us all responsible for the poor health indicators that place India behind our South Asian neighbours, other BRICS nations and, for some indicators like child immunisation, sub-Saharan Africa. There is justified outrage at the tragic deaths of children from dengue under deplorable conditions of apathy and neglect in the capital of India. As often hap-pens, there is an immediate search for individuals and institutions to whom the guilt could be readily apportioned. There are many who will be blamed, and will in turn point the finger at others — the state and Central governments, municipal corpo-rations, private hospitals, public health functionar-ies, negligent householders and careless construc-tion workers who let water stagnate for mosquitos to breed. Alas, all this sound and fury will abate when the virus takes a holiday in a few months, and the underlying cause — the long neglect of people’s health as a policy priority — will remain unaddressed. The Delhi-centric national television channels have rightly vented anguish and anger over these terrible tragedies. Their gaze does not, however, extend to other tragedies that regularly visit people across India due to a health system that fails them. Buried inside a national newspaper on April 12 this year was the heartrending story of a tribal in Odisha who allegedly felt forced to sell his two-month-old son for Rs 700 to buy medicines for his sick wife. Which channel picked up that story? Each death, disability or disrupted life that could have been avoided by effective prevention or early and appropriate healthcare should be a blow against our conscience. But, alas, they do not afford us the voyeuristic excitement of a high society murder. Back to dengue. This virus is no stranger to Del-hi, or many parts of India, which are endemic (fa-voured residence) to it. Yet, each monsoon season, we react as though it is a stealth bomber catching us by surprise. We are familiar with all four strains. Often, viruses tend to transmit rapidly as the hu-man host population increases in size and density. This can portend future danger for big cities.

“The impressive intensity, scale and level of achievements in our bilateral engagement since last year, is a testimony to the leadership, direct supervision and the tremendous importance attached to the bilateral relationship by our leaders, Prime Minister Modi and President Obama” - external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj highlighted the priority areas

in bilateral ties as they inaugurated the India-US Strategic and Commercial Dialogue

Hollywood actor George Clooney changes his schedule to suit his wife Amal Clooney as her work is less flexible than his. “When he proposed, the deal was struck on very clear terms. This is a marriage of equals, and Amal takes her work far too seriously to make compromises, so the only way it can work is if George fits his schedule around her,” a source told Grazia magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk. “It may

Debutant Adhik Ravi-chandran’s Trisha Illana Nayanthara, an A-certi-fied adult comedy, was promoted as the boldest Tamil film of this gen-eration, and as strictly intended for adults. It’s bold to an extent, but not quite enough and that’s disappointing, consid-ering it was Tamil cine-ma’s first attempt at the

genre and I wish they had gone all the way. I mean, with an A certif-icate the makers were so proud about, why not give us an unadulterated sex comedy? Why dilute it with family sentiment? GV Prakash plays Jeeva, a jilted lover stuck be-tween Ramya (Anandi) and Aditi (Manisha Ya-dav). Their mothers give birth to them around the

same time in the hospi-tal. When they’re put in the cradles, Jeeva mys-teriously ends up in the middle with Ramya and Aditi on either side. Je-eva’s uncle jokes about it and from an early age, they like each other. The childhood sequences are fun to watch, especially the scene where the trio uses a cussword substi-tute to get back at a bully.

Notwithstanding praise for her ‘Katti Batti’ act, Kangana Ranaut’s dream run at the box-office suf-fered a blow with her lat-est outing collecting only Rs 16 crore in its open-ing weekend. Although the Nikhil Advani film starring Imran Khan with Kangs released on just 1200 screens, the not-too-flattering re-

views and poor word of mouth buzz made a dent in its business. “The first day business picked up only during the eve-ning and night shows, but it wasn’t enough. The jump in figures was clearly missing during the weekend,” says trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Trade pundits had an-ticipated that Kangana’s presence in ‘Katti Bat-ti’ would ensure a good

opening for the film, but it failed to take off (Rs 5.28 crore). “The col-lections hardly picked up on Saturday and Sun-day. It seems unlikely that the numbers will go up now. ‘Meeruthiya Gangsters’, which also released last week, also failed miserably.” The sequel to ‘MSG: Mes-senger of God’ starring a self-styled godman also tanked at the box office.

German auto giant Volkswagen revealed Tuesday that 11 million diesel cars worldwide are equipped with devices that can cheat pollution tests, a dra-matic expansion of a scandal that immediately sent its shares plummeting by another 20 per cent. Au-thorities from France to South Korea to the Unit-ed States announced investigations and threatened legal action, prompting Volkswagen to announce that it was setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 bil-lion) in provisions for the third quarter to cover the potential costs of the scandal. VW shares, which dived 17 per cent on Monday, plunged by another 23 per cent to a low of 101.30 euros during trade on the Frankfurt stock exchange as the automak-er’s new revelations, including a warning that it will have to lower its profit outlook, sent inves-tors fleeing. “Further internal investigations have shown that the software concerned is also installed in other diesel vehicles,” VW said in a statement.

The sudden demise of veteran administrator Jagmohan Dalmiya has turned the BCCI into a divided house with the East Zone units decid-ing to prop up their own candidate, giving a new twist to the intense suc-cession battle. The East Zone units, in all likeli-hood, are going to field joint secretary Amitabh Chaudhary of Jharkhand as their candidate for the

There is every possibility at this point of time that if Shukla or

As for Pawar, the former ICC and BCCI supremo is testing waters current-ly and would only offer his candidature if he is sure of atleast 16 votes for which he would need government support. In any case, a veteran of electoral politics, Pawar is known to take deci-sions after long and hard deliberation.

When the Indian limit-ed-overs squads for the home-series were an-nounced, one thing that immediately struck the mind was Ravindra Jade-ja being left out. The In-dian selectors, with the snub of Jadeja, have sent out a strong message that their focus will be based on merit ahead of senior-ity and international ex-perience. Rishad D’Sou-za feels the move will discourage senior team members from feeling overtly secure of their places and slacking off as a result. Ravindra Jadeja was a regular feature in the Indian set up for a long time. His performances in First-Class and the Indi-an Premier League (IPL)

allowed him to make it to the Indian team con-sistently across formats. However, the consistency with which he was select-ed did not mirror in that of his performances. While he kept chipping in with decent performances from time to time, the consis-tency required to make a sustained impact in de-velopment of the side was absent. Yet, by India’s soft standards it could be ex-pected that Jadeja would

continue to make it to the squad regularly, even if he did not feature in the playing XI. However, the selectors have painted a different picture with the ousting of Jadeja. It is not a matter of much debate that MS Dhoni has a lot of faith in Jadeja’s style of play and since the cap-tain’s preferences often impact the selection pro-cess, one could have ex-pected Jadeja to make it to the limited overs squad.

Gujarat high court on Monday directed the state government to fence wa-ter bodies to prevent them from becoming dump-ing grounds and, subse-quently, natural breeding grounds for mosquitoes causing dengue. The di-rection comes at a time when the vector-borne disease has claimed four lives in the city and more than 700 cases have been reported. Citing an earlier order passed by the high court, a bench of acting chief justice Jayant Patel and justice NV Anjaria said that all government land must be protected, especially water bod-ies like lakes and ponds. They should be prevented from turning into dump-ing grounds and being en-croached upon. The court said that the government should start doing this at least by fencing ponds in the city so that peo-

ple don’t dump waste in it and water bodies don’t become a breeding ground for mosquitoes at a time when people are dying of dengue. The au-thorities allow encroach-ment and if construction takes place, the situation becomes irreversible. The government must protect ponds, the court said. The high court made these ob-servations while hearing a PIL filed by an Aam Aad-mi Party (AAP) mem-ber Rituraj Mehta, who brought to the court’s no-tice the dumping of waste by Ahmedabad Munici-pal Corporation and local builders on a water body in Thaltej locality. The HC ordered the munici-pal commissioner to de-pute an inspector to get the waste removed from the pond in a week’s time and intimate the district collector, who has been asked to fence the pond in the next four weeks.

Patel and others were allegedly accused of accepting bribe to the tune of Rs13 crore after Sai was accused of rape along with his father Asaram by two Surat-based sisters. Investigating authorities had sought a trial court’s consent to conduct voice spectrography of Patel for

further investigation and accordingly obtained an order from a trial court on September 4 to collect the suspended police offi-cer’s voice samples. Cit-ing various orders by high courts and the Supreme Court, Patel, however, questioned this order be-fore the high court on the ground that he cannot be compelled to give voice sample against his will. Justice J B Pardiwala is-sued a notice to the state government seeking their reply by October 8, but he observed that the issue was pending before the apex court’s larger bench after two benches passed contradictory orders.

The Mumbai Police, probing what seems a case of hostile action by a Pakistani vessel last week, are contacting in-telligence agencies and seeking, through dipo-matic channels, informa-tion from the Pakistan government regarding the incident. An Indian fishing boat was attacked allegedly by a vessel bearing a Pakistani flag killing one of the eight fishermen on board the fishing boat. According to police sources, eight

fishermen from Gujarat were fishing in the sea near Okha in Gujarat, when the incident hap-pened around 9.30 am on September 18. “We will get in touch with central intelligence agencies to obtain more informa-tion about the incident, and will approach them for Letters Rogatory (LR) through the Cen-tral Bureau of Investi-gation (CBI) seeking cooperation of the Paki-stani government,” Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) De-ven Bharti.

To counter Hardik Patel’s “anti-reservation move-ment”, Bharatiya Jana-ta Party (BJP) MP and Dalit leader Udit Raj on Monday gave a call for a pro-reservation Maha Rally in Delhi on De-cember 7. “Hardik Patel says either give reserva-tion to the Patels or take it away entirely, know-ing that the first case will not happen. Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh 1.5 lakh Karamcharis have been demoted because of which many of our peo-ple have been forced to leave work. Reservation is under threat every-where, but especially by the movement in Gujarat. “Ye bachav ka nahi, pra-har ka samay hai (this is not the time to be defen-

The Patidar reservation imbroglio which has caused much embarrass-ment to the BJP-ruled Gu-jarat Government forcing it to impose curfew for the first time in the state after the 2002 communal riots, and to suspend mobile internet services twice in less than a month, seems to be back to square one. After two and a half months, the controversy is no nearer resolution than it was in July when it began in earnest. The agitation spearheaded by Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PASS) convener Hardik Patel had initially

demanded OBC status for the community to secure reservation in education and government jobs. The agitation, started on July 6, witnessed around 150 public rallies by the Patidars that culminat-ed in August 25 Ahmed-abad rally. Following the Ahmedabad rally and Hardik Patel’s detention, widespread riots had bro-ken out across the state and government had to impose curfew at a num-ber of places including Ahmedabad, Surat, and Mehsana. Ten persons were killed in the riots; eight of whom were Pa-tidars. It also resulted in serious criminal cas-


The Supreme Court had effectively stayed the elections to the munici-pal bodies on a petition challenging the system.Six municipal corpora-tions in Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, are likely to come under administra-tor’s rule. The state gov-ernment, so far, has not filed its reply to a no-tice from the Supreme Court on the “one ward, multi-member” system, missing the September 20 deadline and further delaying the legal proce-dure. The Supreme Court had effectively stayed the elections to the munici-pal bodies on a petition

challenging the system. The court order came as a blessing in disguise for the BJP-led government, which has been at the re-ceiving end to the Patidar agitation for OBC status and reservation benefits. The government neither filed a reply, nor moved a review plea in the apex court. This delayed the le-gal procedure and in turn the possibility of holding elections in next month when the five-year term of the exiting municipal bodies would end. “There are strong chances that six municipal corporations might come under admin-istrator’s rule,” remarked a senior official from the state election commission.

The government might now choose to argue ver-bally in the court during the next hearing on Sep-tember 28, sources said. “The case now will come up for hearing on Septem-ber 28. All eyes are on it, when the Gujarat govern-ment will be giving its reply to the court,” said an official from the Ur-ban Development depart-ment. The senior officials, however, from concerned departments, including panchayat and rural de-velopment, urban devel-opment and state election commission, opined that the government’s slow and dull response in-creased the chances on the election getting delayed.


Dead fish floating in Mato-da village panchayat lake triggered panic among lo-cals. The panchayat had awarded the lake on con-tract for fish farming ac-tivity. In an application of complaint submitted with Changodar police station of Ahmedabad district, Kanu Chunara, the fish farm contractor has al-leged that toxic discharge from Intas Pharma Pvt Ltd located at Matoda village has resulted in the death of fish. Head constable of Changodar police station Arvind Bhagora said they have received the com-

plaint and are probing the matter. “The complainant had hired the lake for 1.5 lakh fish seeds for pisci-culture, which involves raising fish commercial-ly in tanks or enclosures. However, it was alleged that toxic waste spilling into the pond from the manhole of the pharma company led to the death of fish,” added Bhagora. When contacted, an offi-cial of Intas Pharmaceu-ticals Ltd maintained that there was no discharge from the plant, which follows stringent compli-ance norms. “The Matoda plant supplies product to

regulated markets like US and it is approved by US Food and Drug Adminis-tration. USFDA approval is accorded after rigorous process including com-pliance to environment norms,” said the compa-ny’s plant spokesperson. Police officials said they have informed Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) officials and also taken samples from the pond and sent them for forensic examination. “GPCB team visited the company’s manufactur-ing facility at Matoda on Monday and collected samples of untreated and treated water.

With the President giv-ing nod to the new Gu-jarat labour bill, soon 1.20 crore labourers in Gujarat would see their wages by cheques di-rectly transferred into bank accounts created under the Jan Dhan Yo-jana. The Bill also allows the state government to prohibit labour strikes in the public utility. Be-sides reforms on wages, the Gujarat Labour Laws (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 2015, bill for which was passed by a majority vote in the Assembly in February, gave the gov-ernment greater control over running of industries while trying to minimise disputes between labour-ers and employers in out-of-court settlement by

a new compromise for-mula — “compounding the offence”. As certain clauses in the bill needed nod from the central gov-ernment, Governor O P Kohil had sent it to Delhi. In the act, certain basic definitions in the Mini-mum Wages Act, 1948, and clauses in the Indus-trial Disputes Act, 1947, allowing more policing of the state over industries, have been changed. It has reforms like payment of wages by cheques in es-tablishments having more than 20 labourers to give impetus to the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yoja-na. Among the other 14 critical amendments, one introduced a “compro-mise” formula — “com-pounding of offences” — between industry and

It had 25 to 30 men in civilian clothes on board, and shots were fired from the vessel. Seven rounds were fired, and two hit one of the fishermen, identified as Iqbal Bhat-ti (43), killing him. The fishermen sped away and approached Okha police in Gujarat. The complaint was transferred to Yel-lowgate police station, as it has the jurisdiction…” Police officials said post mortem examination confirmed that Bhatti died of gunshot wounds, and ballistic analysis re-ports are awaited to know the calibre of the bullets.

While presenting the bill in the Assembly, labour and employment minister Vijay Rupani had stated: “For this, the government will charge up to Rs 21,000 as pen-alty from the employer and give 75 per cent of that penalty money to the affected employee or em-ployees.

And subsequent-ly, many BJP legislators and leaders were forced to leave public events by Patidar women clanking rolling pins on steel plates in protest. Throughout these developments, the state government had maintained its stand that under the constitution-al provisions and prece-dents set by the Supreme Court of India, the Pati-dar community could not be given OBC status. The Chief Minister person-ally made appeals to the Patidar leaders, formed a seven-member commit-tee consisting of senior ministers of her govern-ment and invited them to talk. The government has offered a financial pack-age for the poor Patidars in Gujarat to aide them in education, employment and business.
