Gold prices edged up at the domestic bullion mar-ket here on mild demand from jewellery stockists and traders amid bull-ish global cues. Silver extended its fall follow-ing speculative selling and lacklustre industrial offtake. Standard gold (99.5 purity) moved-up by Rs 5 to end at Rs 26,705 per 10 grams from Monday’s level of Rs 26,700. Pure gold (99.9 purity) also rose by a similar margin of Rs 5 to close at Rs 26,855 per 10 grams against Rs 26,850 yesterday.

Kerala government as-serted that there was no beef being served at Kerala House here and lodged a complaint with Delhi Police over the un-authorised entry of some activists into the state-run guest house even as buf-falo meat was removed from the menu. Briefing reporters at Kerala House in Delhi, Kerala Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson dismissed claims that beef was served in the canteen there. “No. I to-tally deny it. We have never done it. What they have done is they have given buffalo meat and that is what they term as beef. No cow meat was served,” he said.

He said a complaint has been lodged with Delhi Police over the entry of some activists into Ker-ala House without tak-ing permission from the Resident Commission-er. “Yesterday, we were told that some activists have entered without the permission of the Resi-dent Commissioner. We have taken objection to that. We have lodged a complaint with the DCP (of Delhi Police),” he said. The Chief Secre-tary also said that police should have entered with permission yesterday.

A US Navy guided-mis-sile destroyer sailed close to China’s man-made is-lands in the disputed South China Sea on Tuesday, drawing an angry rebuke from Beijing, which said it warned and followed the American vessel. The patrol by the USS Lassen was the most significant US challenge yet to the 12-nautical-mile territo-rial limits China asserts around the islands in the Spratly archipelago and could ratchet up tension in one of the world’s bus-iest shipping lanes. One US defence official said the USS Lassen sailed within 12 nautical miles of Subi Reef. A second defence official said the mission, which lasted a few hours, included Mis-chief Reef and would be the first in a series of freedom-of-navigation

cording to the officials running the canteen. Meanwhile, A Sampath, a CPI(M) MP represent-ing Attingal Lok Sabha constituency in Kera-la, said that the incident was “humiliating” for the state government. “As a member of Parliament, I feel that it is something humiliating to the state government...This (Ker-ala House) is the proper-

ty of the Government of Kerala, just like a foreign nation having its embas-sy here in India. I am not challenging the powers of the Government of India. But what has happened here is highly deplorable. I suspect there might be some political motive be-hind it,” he said. He also asked Kerala government to bring buffalo meat back on the menu.

Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday relieved film star Salman Khan in the 1998 Arms Act case. While delivering a deci-sion on a petition filed by Khan, Rajasthan High Court ordered for the submission of files relat-ed to the sanction proce-dure for prosecution by district collector to the court. Salman Khan had filed a petition to submit the file in the court but the district court reject-ed the plea. Hearing the matter, Justice Sandeep Mehta ordered for the

exercises aimed at test-ing China’s territorial claims. China’s foreign ministry said the “rele-vant authorities” mon-itored, followed and warned the USS Lassen as it “illegally” entered waters near islands and reefs in the Spratlys without the Chinese gov-ernment’s permission. “China will resolutely respond to any coun-try’s deliberate provoca-tions,” the ministry said in a statement that gave no details on precisely where the US ship sailed. Foreign ministry spokes-man Lu Kang later told a daily briefing that if the

United States continued to “create tensions in the region,” China might conclude it had to “in-crease and strengthen the building up of our rele-vant abilities”. Lu did not elaborate, except to say he hoped it did not come to that, but his comments suggested China could further boost its military presence in the South China Sea. “China hopes to use peaceful means to resolve all the disputes, but if China has to make a response then the timing, method and tempo of the response will be made in accordance with China’s wishes and needs.”

QUOTE OF THE

DAYNational Mission for Clean Ganga, Rebooting Ganga

The Ganga takes in more than 2,000 million litres of discharge a day from factories, apart from the human waste, which accounts for about 80% of the pollutants. The Union government proposes to out-source sewage management in the 118 towns and cities along the Ganges to corporate entities as part of its Namami Gange or National Mission for Clean Ganga. This is a clear break from the approach of successive governments since 1986 under the ear-lier Ganga Action Plans. The change is welcome. Available evidence shows urban local bodies, espe-cially in smaller towns, simply do not have the re-sources or capacity to set up, operate and maintain modern sewerage systems and treatment plants. Ac-cording to the new plan, the government will allow corporates, in both the public and private sectors, to “adopt” towns/ cities of their choice and invest in such projects that would ensure no municipal waste and effluent discharge into the river. The Centre, it seems, has already received proposals from both In-dian and international companies. The firms to be selected through a bidding process would be paid through fixed annuities for a 15-year period. Unlike in the past, when state governments and local bodies were also required to contribute, the entire monies would come from the Centre. Cleaning the Ganga has proved to be a Gordian knot for successive gov-ernments. Repeated doses of monetary infusion by the governments have failed to yield results, primar-ily because the responsibility to make things work on the ground, as far as sewage treatment is concerned, has been stuck in a bureaucratic quagmire — with multiple departments, from urban development, wa-ter resources and irrigation to power and tourism, involved. Not surprisingly, it has been impossible to fix accountability, with fund-starved municipal bodies making matters worse. Cities such as Vara-nasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency, have the capacity to treat hardly a third of the sew-age dumped in the Ganga. The working of even the established sewage treatment plants have often been hampered by the lack of electricity. The latest plan, one hopes, would first and foremost fix the account-ability problem. This can be done by spinning off sewerage and treatment systems into a special pur-pose vehicle independent of the municipal corpora-tion/ state government, although the latter could take equity in these. The second aspect relates to funding.

“we are in the government, but the government is not ours. Several important portfolios that are involved in the decision making process for the state are not with the Sena” - Sena leader Sanjay Raut rued that though his party is in power,

the government is not theirs and they are not part of the decision-making process..

Veteran Subhash Seh-gal’s romcom “Yaara Sil-ly Silly” is releasing next month and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film to its fullest, with the second trailer of the film which begins with some very bold dialogues released on Monday. “I wanted my concept to be interesting, entertaining yet different, which ‘Yaara Silly Silly’

is. It is a mix genre of ro-mance/drama/light-heart-ed comedy. So, I took some time in developing the script. And once I got the script ready, I knew whom to cast,” Sehgal. Regarding such bold trailer, and speaking of the cuss words which are used in the film, Sub-hash clarified that “keep-ing the character and the script in mind I had to maintain that lingo to ex-ecute the story”. “There

is a scene where the main protagonist Mallika says ‘Main R@@# hoon’ and I had to retain these words which helped in dishing out the film nat-urally. Though it’s a very bold content, I have han-dled it very sensitively. The main protagonist of the film is a woman, so I had to maintain that char-acter in such a way that the film shouldn’t fall in a wild or vulgar catego-ry,” he added.

fans of Hrithik Roshan’s superhero look from ‘Krrish’ and ‘Krrish 3’.

I was very scared to work with her initially, but the way she helped me in my very first scene with her made it so easy. She was so helpful and gave me such good insights on how I should say my lines or do the scene. Just watching her perform is

amazing because she is an instinctive actor, she plays out what she feels. It’s all in her eyes, she just acts through them. She is also a lot of fun to work with, we have had emo-tional scenes where we both just cracked up and laughed hysterically.”

Asus, amidst several launches in the ZenFone 2 se-ries, has confirmed that it is already working on the next lineup of ZenFone devices - the ZenFone 3 se-ries. The handsets have also been revealed to feature USB Type-C ports. CEO Jonney Shih, apart from confirming the new line of ZenFone smartphones and inclusion of USB Type-C ports, revealed noth-ing else about the devices. “I think Type-C is the way to go, frankly speaking. You will see the answer when you see the ZenFone 3,” he said to Trusted Re-views website in an interview. However, following the traditional launches of ZenFone and ZenFone 2 series, which arrived in early 2014 and the first-half of 2015 respectively, we can expect the Zenfone 3 devices to launch in H1 2016. Notably, until now only select Android smartphones such as OnePlus 2, Nexus 5X, and Nexus 6P feature USB Type-C ports. The Nokia N1 tablet, as well as the brand new Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, also use the same tech. Apple incorporated USB Type-C standard in its recently launched 12-inch Macbook. It is yet to be known if the Zenfone 3 smartphones even in the lower price segment would house USB Type-C port or not.

IT’S no longer a cap-tain’s headache, it’s now a migraine. Your medi-um-pacers are over-re-liant on swing, lack the pace to push batsmen back. Your fast bowlers have the pace to rush the batsmen, but leak even more runs. You’re at the stage of your career where you want to play a more steadying hand at No.4, but there’s no-body in the lower-order to finish games. You push your No.4 to No.3, where he scores two half-cen-

turies, and then for the next few matches, he has no fixed spot. Your tail is too pronounced with the No.7 and No.11 carrying a nearly identical batting average. You pick the best available seaming all-rounder in the coun-try, but you don’t have the guts to pick him because deep inside you know he’s not going to make a huge difference. You are forced to pick three spin-ners, regardless of wheth-er the pitch demands it or not, because you don’t have a strike seamer who you trust. There are two

bowlers in the country you do trust, but both are injured. And then horror of horrors, you get asked ‘what went wrong’ on a day your bowlers have conceded 438 in 50 overs and your team’s been de-molished by 214 runs in what was billed to be a high-profile series-decid-er.

The Team Director allegedly used some harsh words and Naik also reacted sharp-ly. The curator, who has also been Zaheer Khan’s coach, then reported the matter to the Mum-bai Cricket Association.

In his complaint, Naik said Shastri used un-parliamentary language while telling him what he thought about the ODI pitch midway through match and bowling coach B Arun also fired his as-sistant Mamunkar on the same issue.

City police sources said they had lodged a complaint under the sections for waging war against the state against alleged ter-ror suspects belonging to

Crime branch sources said it had also come to light that Chota Rajan had supplied arms and explo-sives to the suspected terror module to execute

Another case against the gangster was registered in 2005 in Ahmedabad under the Arms Act.

Over 15 Fi-nancial Institutions have been allocated space in GIFT IFSC, MD & Group CEO of GIFT Company Ltd, Mr, Ajay Pandey said today. He claimed that the IFSC at GIFT is attract-ing a lot of interest from the BFSI sector in India, especially from banks,

insurance companies and other financial services players who want to tap the global markets. IFSC Banking Unit (IBU) al-lows an Indian bank to de-liver a complete range of products to its clients with foreign currency funding requirements. IBU can ac-tively offer products such as external commercial borrowings to its custom-ers, an area where it had limited capabilities hither-to. IBU will also be able to meet the funding require-ments of overseas entities which may be joint ven-tures or subsidiaries of its domestic clients or part of the value chain of its ex-isting customers. He said that setting up of IFSC in India has been the vision of Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi, as this would be a major game changer for the financial services sector in India.

THE Central Bureau of Investigation is set to take over the probe into the murder case of Akh-il Kumar Gupta, a key witness in a rape case lodged against self-styled godman Asaram Bapu in Surat district of Gujarat. Gupta (38), who worked as a cook and personal aide of Asaram, was shot dead in Nai Mandi police station area of Muzaffar-nagar on January 11 this year. The Uttar Pradesh government had in July urged the Centre to rec-ommend for a CBI probe into the Gupta murder case following a request by his wife Varsha, who is also a witness in the rape case against Asaram. Sources in CBI said the agency conducted a pre-liminary enquiry into the

The Gujarat government Monday opposed a plea to grant compensation to six men convicted for the 2002 Akshard-ham terror attack but ac-quitted by the Supreme Court last year. Addi-tional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, repre-senting the state, told the SC the plea by the acquitted was not main-tainable. “They cannot file a separate writ peti-tion seeking compensa-tion. Whatever they may want now, it has to be in the same criminal appeal that is now disposed of by this court. There are provisions in the CrPC to seek compensation and also for demanding inquiry against police officers,” Mehta told the court. The bench, agree-ing with Mehta, asked


Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel will be investigated for se-dition, the Gujarat High Court ruled today, reject-ing a petition that chal-lenged a police complaint filed against him in Surat. The 22-year-old lead-er of Patel community’s agitation for reservations was arrested and booked by the police on sedition charges on October 19, for allegedly exhorting youngsters from his com-munity to kill policemen rather than committing suicide. The court said to-day that prima facie, sedi-tion charges hold against him and directed the po-lice to continue further investigation. It however asked for charges that ac-cuse him of creating ani-mosity between two com-munities to be dropped.


When Prime Minister Na-rendra Modi visits the UK next month, he will be closely followed by tour-ists from his home state, Gujarat, thanks to a Di-wali package to London offered by a city-based tour operator. Besides the sights and sounds of London, this group of tourists will be among the audience when Modi addresses the Indian di-aspora at Wembley Sta-dium on November 13. Around 60,000 people are expected to turn up at the grand reception for the Prime Minister. The PM is expected to have a two-day stay in London before travelling to Tur-key to attend the G-20 Summit. This five nights and six days ‘London tour package’ also of-fers a ride on the “Modi

Pronouncing the order, the judge observed to-day: “Advising a person to resort to violence and disturb peace in the soci-ety amounts to sedition.” “It’s open for Patidars (Patels) to demand quota by peaceful means, but what’s not permissible is any act that may jeop-ardise public tranquil-

ity,” he added. On Oc-tober 3, Hardik had met a Surat based man who had announced that he would commit suicide in support of the agitation. “If you have so much courage...then go and kill a couple of policemen. Patels never commit sui-cide,” he allegedly told him. He visited his house

The bus is expected to take visitors to iconic landmarks of central London, making pitstops at Wembley and Trafalgar Square. “There is tremendous interest among Gujaratis in Mo-di’s maiden visit to the UK. Several people from

the state have relatives in London. Tourists will be taken to Wembley Stadi-um in ‘Modi Express’ bus (an idea conceived by Nitin Palan, a Gujarati). The tourists will also vis-it Swaminarayan temple in Neasden near London and participate in a food festival as part of Diwa-li celebrations on No-vember 12. The follow-

ing day, they will attend PM’s Wembley event,” said Manish Sharma, owner of Akshar Travels. The package is priced at Rs 1,60,000 per person and so far, 52 booking have been made, he said. Sharma, who claimed to have met Modi several times when he was Guja-rat chief minister, had of-fered “poll tourism pack-age” to foreigners willing to witness the Lok Sabha elections of 2014. Later, he rolled out a “Modi Tour” in April this year which took tourists to the PM’s hometown Vadnagar and UNESCO World Heritage site Ra-ni-ki-Vav in Patan.

case and has now de-cided to take up the in-vestigation. The agency has sought FIR copy and other documents relat-ed to the case, including the case diary containing day-to-day details of the investigation, from the Muzaffarnagar police, they said. The Muzaffar-nagar police have yet to make any breakthrough in the murder case. Earli-er, In July this year, a girl from Shahjahanpur, who

had lodged a rape case against Asaram, had sent letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav request-ing for a court-moni-tored CBI investigation into the murder and at-tack on witnesses in cas-es against the godman. A witness in the rape case, Kripal Singh, was shot at on July 10 this year in Shahjahanpur and died next day in the hospital.

from taking out the rally for 60 days. According to the petitioner, the addi-tional district magistrate issued a notification under section 37 (3) of the Bom-bay Police Act which pro-hibited “any procession/ march/protest or gathering of persons beyond four in number for a period of 60 days starting from 28-

9-2015 to maintain law and order during festival days.” Meanwhile, leaders of the farmers addressed a press conference in this re-gard here under the aegis of Gujarat Khedut Samaj and Bhal Bachao Samiti. They announced that the farmers’ procession would commence from Bhavali-yari village at Dholera on

October 29 and culminate at Ahmedabad District Collectorate on November 3. During the brief hearing the court asked the govern-ment lawyer why the per-mission has been denied to 100 odd farmers who want to take out the rally. The single bench of Jus-tice J B Pardiwala asked the government lawyer hinting the Patidar reser-vation stir that “You can control 25 lakh people but what is the problem with 100 farmers.” In a lighter note justice Pardiwala re-marked, “These farmers don’t even want reserva-tion,” and issued notices to the state government for its reply on the petition.

Yagnik told the court that there will be 100 farmers from 22 villages in the procession who will walk for six days beginning from Bhavaliyari village at Dholera on October 29. The procession will reach Ahmedabad collector’s office on November 3 and will hand over their ap-plications to redress their demands. He said that the farmers participating in the event have been affect-ed by the decision of land acquisition through which they will loose 50 per cent of their agricultural land without any compensation at all for establishment of Dholera Special Invest-ment Region.
