Agency | KathmanduAll 23 people on board a small plane were killed when it crashed into a for-est in central Nepal on Wednesday, the country’s second air disaster in as many years. The Twin Otter aircraft operated by the private Tara Air was reported missing at 8.10 am, 20 min-utes after it took off from Pokhara, 200 km northwest of the capital Kathmandu. The plane, bound for Jomsom in Mus-tang district border-ing China, crashed into a hill in Myagdi district. The dead in-cluded a Chinese and

vice-chancellor of University of Hyder-abad and inclusion of a Dalit member in the judicial committee probing the suicide. Mayawati said Ve-mula’s suicide was a matter of grave con-cern. “Since the time BJP came to power at the Centre, nefarious means are being used to impose RSS ideol-ogy,” she said. “Since

the time, BJP came to power at the Centre, nefarious means are being used to impose RSS ideology,” said the BSP chief Though the government said it was ready for an immediate discussion followed by a reply by the concerned minis-ter, the BSP members remained unsatisfied and shouted slogans after trooping into the

Well of the House, forcing Deputy Chairman P J Kurien to first adjourn the House for 10 minutes and then till noon. When the House re-assembled at 2 PM, BSP members again trooped into the Well and continued slo-gan shouting, even as Mayawati insist-ed that the govern-ment should reply on whether a Dalit member would be included in the ju-dicial panel probing Rohit Vemula’s sui-cide case and sought a separate debate on both issues.

a Kuwaiti national, two infants and three crew members. Au-thorities launched an operation to bring the bodies from the crash site at Tirkhe Dhunga to Pokhara. It takes four hours to trek to the crash site from the nearest vil-lage. “It appears the aircraft broke into several pieces and burst into flames im-mediately after the

crash. All the bod-ies are burnt beyond recognition,” Bishwa Raj Khadka, police chief of Myagdi, told the media. The pilots last contacted Pokha-ra airport at 8.10 am, when there was no indication of any-thing wrong with the aircraft. According to a Tara Air statement, the weather at Pokha-ra and Jomsom was “favourable’.

The status report said that the unedited video footage of the incident was “not the footage which is being debated as

‘doctored’ in various sections including petitioner as alleged by the media”

in JNU and they had covered their faces to hide their identity. “During the course of the investigation, statements of various eye-witnesses, who were found present on the spot, were re-corded. It has come during the course of

investigation that ac-cused Kanhaiya, the petitioner herein (for bail), not only par-ticipated in the said event but actually or-ganised the same in connivance with oth-er accused persons,” the police said in its status report.

ing freight rate and passenger fares will affect the Railways adversely,” sources in railways said, add-ing “fare hike can be effected anytime after budget also, if required and it is not necessary that it has to be done only in the budget.” Besides, Pra-bhu will also have to take a call on wheth-er to impose safety cess for strengthening safety measures to prevent accidents.

applications are al-ready pending before the sessions court. The bench then add-ed that it had decided to look into the larg-er issue of damage to public properties during agitations and posted the matter for hearing on Thursday. The apex court had

on 14 January asked the AG to assist it in dealing with cases where public proper-ty has been damaged on a large scale. Ear-lier, the court had allowed the Gujarat Police to file a charge sheet in the case in which it was alleged that Hardik Patel had instigated the com-munity members to kill policemen and adopted violent ways to “wage war against Gujarat gov-ernment”. Besides the present case, the apex court will also hear another plea filed by Hardik challenging the High Court’s decision de-clining to quash the sedition charge in-voked against him and others for al-legedly attacking police stations in the state. In his plea, Hardik has claimed that the charges have

wrongly been in-voked against him as there was no con-spiracy to wage war against the govern-ment and, at best, it is the case of using “intemperate lan-guage” which can be tried under some oth-er penal provisions. The state police

had lodged the case in October against 22-year-old Hardik and five of his close aides on the charge of sedition and waging war against the gov-ernment – all were arrested and are cur-rently behind bars. The High Court had ordered the removal

of three IPC sections in the FIR – sections 121 (waging war against government), 153-A (promoting enmity between dif-ferent communities) and 153-B (asser-tions prejudicial to national integrity) against Hardik and five of his aides.

Hoisting the national flag in Central universities is a great idea...?

In any case, once the proposal to hoist our flag in all campuses is put into effect, the surge of patriotism that will manifest itself in students, faculty and staff will surely propel our desi universities into the front row of even the most motivated foreign rankings. I was also pleased with the proposal to place the flag in a prominent central place, to have it hoisted at a high level, and for it to be illuminated at night. For it is important for students to be re-minded at all times of their primary commit-ment to Mother India, and surely the best way to achieve that would be to make the tiranga visible to them as they walk to and from class, to and from the library or laboratory, and, not least, at night, which (as so much scientific re-search has demonstrated) is precisely the time when dark, dangerous, in sum anti-patriotic, thoughts enter the minds of the insufficiently enlightened young. I was therefore delighted when I heard of the HRD ministry’s proposal — delighted as a former student of a Central university, as a former teacher at a Central university, and, above all, as a proudly patri-otic Indian increasingly nervous about the de-clining desh bhakti of first- and second-time voters. But there was one aspect of the pro-posal that disturbed me. Why had the ministry specified that the flag should be hoisted on a pole 207-feet high? That the tiranga had to be high was self-evident. Students had to watch it all the time; and the flag needed to watch them all the time, too. But why 207 feet? Why not 200? To hoist the flag at precisely 200 feet would, in fact, further deepen their sense of patriotism. For it is well known that we Indi-ans invented the number zero, and in effect the decimal system itself. (Notably, the official flag code of the government of India, where it offers specification, of sizes for example, does it all in patriotic zeroes). The number 200 has another, and scarcely less patriotic, meaning. For it is the number of Test match-es that Sachin Tendulkar played. Cricket, as Ashis Nandy once reminded us, is an Indian game accidentally invented in the West. And Tendulkar is the one Indian whose patriotism is widely and unreservedly admired across the political spectrum. If the flag is hoisted at 200 rather than 207 feet, the students would be reminded of our great scientific invention, the zero, and of the stirring patriotic deeds of Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar, MP, the boy who proudly placed the tricolour on his helmet before anyone else had done so, the young man who, off his own bat, was winning Tests and tournaments against Pakistan at an age when students of Central universities are coping so uncertainly with their personal and their national identity.

“I specially want to ask Congress and its workers whether those raising slogans like ‘Afzal Guru tere hatrayre zinda hain’ and ‘Bharat ke tukde honge’ were traitors or not,”

First, it was Ajay Devgn op-posite Shruti Haas-an and Lisa Haydon but then they were replaced with Ka-reena Kapoor and the script underwent a massive change. Then, we heard that Milan is looking for another hero to play parallel lead to Ajay and Kareena. Pulkit

Samrat’s name was in the loop but it can now be confirmed that he won’t be do-ing the film. Instead, Vidyut Jamwal will be stepping into his shoes. Vidyut con-firms the news, “My next film is Baad-shaho with Ajay and Kareena. We start shooting for the film in April.” Now all other speculations can be straight away thrown out of the window! And we are sure Vidyut’s a better choice than Pulkit for sure.

Agency | MumbaiSwedish researchers have developed a new magnetic imaging technique that utilises sugar to assess the malignancy of tumours in cancer patients. The new imaging tech-nique has been combined with the testing of natural sugar as a replacement for metal in contrast agents. The results showed that malignant tumours (cancerous cells) show higher sugar consumption than surrounding tissue. “If sugar replaces metal as a contrast agent in the body, it can also have a posi-tive psychological effect and make patients calmer,” said Linda Knutsson, lecturer at the Lund University in Sweden. Further, sug-ar-based contrast agents are cheaper than metal-based agents, leading to a reduction in medical care costs. However, sugar-based contrast agents cannot be used in examina-tions of diabetic patients who may have cancer, the researchers explained in the study published in the journal Tomography. The tests were carried out on three people with a brain tumour and four healthy peo-ple. The more sugar the tumour consumes, the more malignant it is, they noticed.

The violent Jat stir seems to have set the alarm bells ringing in Gujarat government. On Tuesday they sent an emissary to meet the jailed Patel quota agitation leader Har-dik Patel to explore a compromise on the vexed issue. Promi-nent Patel leader and BJP MP Vitthal Ra-dadia, who met Har-dik in Lajpore jail, claimed that if a deal is struck, the govern-ment may consider withdrawal of cas-es registered against Patel leaders, includ-ing that of sedition against Hardik and the others. The cases were registered in the wake of large scale violence last year during the Patel quota

agitation in the state. “Vitthalbhai Radadia is the respected leader of our community. I had a detailed discus-sion with him on the (Patel quota) issue. I will accept the com-promise formula if it is for the benefit of my community,” said Hardik, who was tak-en out of the jail for production in a court in Visnagar. Radadia and Hardik held a de-tailed discussion re-lated to issues raised

by the ‘Patidar Ana-mat Andolan Sami-ti’ (PAAS) which is leading the agitation for reservation for Patels under OBC category. “Anandi-ben Patel (Gujarat chief minister) had asked me to meet Hardik on behalf of the state government to find out a possi-ble solution to the ongoing Patel quota agitation,” Radadia said. He met Hardik inside the jail for over

an hour. “I had a very detailed discussion with Hardik on all the issues raised by his Patidar Anamat An-dolan Samiti. I will carry his message to the chief minister and I hope a solution to the problem will be soon arrived at,” Ra-dadia said. He added that his community is hopeful that the gov-ernment will find out some way to provide the reservation bene-fits to Patels. “If Hary-ana Government can fulfill the demands of Jat community for reservation after five days of agitation, Central government and state (Gujarat) governments should also do something for the Patel community,” he said.

The Gujarat gov-ernment on Tuesday presented its annual Budget for the fi-nancial year 2016-17 with the overall size of Rs 1,51,852 crore. With an an-nual plan outlay of Rs 85,557.78 crore, the proposed Bud-get has a clear focus on two disgruntled sections of the BJP’s political vote bank — youth and farm-ers. The Budget’s priorities seem to be defined looking at the 2017 Assembly elections as it em-phasises on wooing these two sections. The proposed Budget enlarges the scope of Mukhyamantri Yuva

Swavalamban Yoja-na (MYSY), which was announced fol-lowing Patidar res-ervation stir, allocat-ing Rs 2,500 crore for roads mainly in rural areas. It also proposes opening up 66,000 government jobs in the current year, which Finance

Minister Saurabh Patel said, was being done “for the first time since the foun-dation of the state (in 1960)”. In the recent-ly-concluded local body elections, Gu-jarat BJP faced a se-vere setback mainly in district panchayats and taluka pancha-

yats, which is seen as a fallout of the Patidar quota stir. To calm the community, seen as wealthy and progressive in Guja-rat, the state govern-ment had announced MYSY, offering fi-nancial assistance to the economically weaker sections of the society. The annu-al family income cap to avail the scheme has been increased from Rs 4.5 lakh to Rs 6 lakh. Also, the qualification percen-tile to avail the bene-fit of the scheme has been decreased from 90 to 80.

in Bhaktinagar. The alleged theft was no-ticed this morning when the museum employees went to the go-down for the annual stock count-ing exercise.

Nepal Prime Minis-ter K P Sharma Oli, who is in India as his first foreign vis-it, today arrived here to see this district bordering Pakistan which has seen ex-cellent rehabilitation work after a devas-tating earthquake in 2001 quite similar to the one that hit his country last year. The Nepal Prime Minister accompanied by his wife Radhika Sakya, Deputy Prime Min-ister Kamal Thapa, Finance Minister Vishnuprasad Pau-del, Home Minister Shakti Bahadur Bas-

net and several top bureaucrats and of-ficials of the Nepal Government, was briefed about the re-habilitation efforts undertaken by the Gujarat government. The rehab work in Bhuj and other areas of the Kutch district following the mass destruction by the January 26, 2001 earthquake was also explained to the vis-iting team through an audio-visual presen-tation by officials of the Gujarat State Di-saster Management Authority and Bhuj Area Development Authority.

100X insurance cov-er will be provided to him up to a max-imum of Rs 50,000. For customers avail-ing this offer, there is no separate docu-mentation required. Industry estimates show that currently less than 4% of In-dia’s population has an insurance cov-er of any type. The primary reasons for the low penetration are issues like lack of awareness, cum-bersome enrolment process, cost of in-surance and lack of trust. Lack of dis-tribution network

has also restricted insurance products becoming popular and pervasive. Rit-uraj Kalita, Circle Business Head – Gu-jarat, Telenor India said, “We have sim-plified the enroll-ment process and also smoothened the process of set-tling claims in less than seven days.” A cheque of Rs 14,100 was handed over to Mr Hitesh Tarsari-ya. His father, Lalji Bhai Tarsariya from Surat, was insured under Telenor Surak-sha and passed away recently.

er M S Patel said to-day. Striking workers are protesting at the plant site in Sanand. When contacted, a company spokesper-son said there has been no significant impact on production due to the strike. Ex-plaining the issue, Pa-tel said the company had two months ago suspended two work-ers for indiscipline.

“As the company had not taken any deci-sion on revoking their suspension for two months, other work-ers on Monday went on a flash strike. They also scratched some new vehicles inside the plant,” Patel said. “The company on Monday suspended another 26 workers after the flash strike,” he added.
