Scientists have found the first evidence that briny water may flow on the surface of Mars during the planet’s summer months, a paper published on Mon-day showed. Although the source and the chemistry of the water is unknown, the discovery could affect thinking about wheth-er the planet that is most like Earth in the solar sys-tem could support present day microbial life. They found telltale fingerprints of salts that form only in the presence of water in narrow channels cut into cliff walls throughout the planet’s equatorial region. The slopes, first reported in 2011, appear during the warm summer months on Mars, then vanish when the temperatures drop. Scientists developed a new technique to analyze chemical maps of the Martian surface obtained by NASA’s Mars Recon-naissance Orbiter space-craft. Scientists suspect-ed the streaks, known as recurring slope lineae, or RSL, were cut by flowing water, but had previously been unable to make the measurements. “I thought there was no hope,” Lujen-dra Ojha, a graduate stu-dent at Georgia Institute

Umiya Campus wants EBC status, quota for Patidars

Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

The Patidar movement for reservations got a shot in the arm on Sunday when Umiya Mata Sansthan — a key organization of the community — decid-ed to back the movement and adopted a resolution saying it will give the ag-itation financial and legal support. During its exec-utive committee meeting at Umiya Campus and also at the general board meeting, the Sansthan on Sunday passed a res-olution that a legal com-mittee will be formed to decide on the legal course of action. The legal com-mittee will also move the high court as well as the apex court not only for economically backward class (EBC) status and reservations for Patidars but also for justice to eight Patidars who had died in the movement and for those who were in-jured in police atrocities. This is the first time that members of the Sansthan have come out in open support of the movement.

Sources said that after the suicide by a Rajkot youth on Saturday, there was a consensus in the Sans-than that they should now intervene and join the Pa-tidar movement for res-ervations. Hardik Patel, convener of the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS), has welcomed the Sansthan’s decision to support the movement. Narayan Patel, a trustee of the Sansthan and sit-ting BJP MP from Unjha, said they had passed a resolution seeking EBC status for the communi-ty. “We will hold negoti-ations with the state gov-

ernment and demand an over Rs 1000 crore pack-age. We want the gov-ernment to give benefits to all economically poor students who are admit-ted in colleges,” said the Unjha MLA. He, how-ever, said that the Sans-than does not support the demand for OBC status. The Sansthan was forced to adopt the resolution as 280 members of the Umiya Mata Sansthan supported the move-ment. The Umiya Mata Sansthan is one of the biggest organizations of the Patidars along with the Khodal Trust.

Contact-ed, district magistrate Antara Acharya said, “We have received re-ports that that a football match was held in after which a feast was orga-nized where the villagers had spurious liquor,” she said. The DM said 26 villagers have been ad-mitted to the district hos-pital. “The patients are under observation. We have a team of doctors ready for any eventuali-ty and we are monitoring the situation,” the DM added.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWithout police reforms, Gujarat’s proposed counter-terror law will

Pranab Mukherjee has become the third president whose consent has been sought for Gujarat’s new counter-terrorism law — in its latest variant, named the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Bill (GCTOC). His predecessors, A.P.J. Ab-dul Kalam and Pratibha Patil, had rejected earli-er bills. This time, it has the backing of the Union home ministry. The contentious features of the pro-posed law are well-known: It allows for electroni-cally recorded confessional statements, if made to a superintendent of police, to be admitted in evidence; extends police custody to 180 days; and makes bail extremely hard to obtain. Gujarat had complained — not without reason — that the earlier denial of presidential assent had been politically motivat-ed, noting that Congress governments had passed similar legislation in Maharashtra and Karnataka. Yet, three wrongs don’t make a right. The reasons for concern are rooted in the history of the merci-fully repealed mother legislation — the notorious Terrorism and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA). TADA was widely abused: Gujarat, with no terrorism problem, initiated 19,000 of the 67,000-odd cases, using it with equal enthusiasm against bootleggers, small-time criminals, and the completely innocent. Also, 80 per cent of TADA cases were registered against Muslims, suggesting flagrant communal bias. Besides, there was compel-ling evidence of confessions being coerced, often through torture. It achieved little — the late Rajesh Pilot, then internal security minister, admitted that, between 1985 and 1994, just 8,000 of 67,000 TADA cases went to trial, and just 725 people were con-victed. Maharashtra’s Control of Organised Crime Act, too, has engendered exactly this kind of abus-es. A real debate is needed on the criminal justice tools India has to deal with terrorism. India’s laws weren’t designed to deal with situations where civil institutions collapsed in the face of insurgencies — as seen in Punjab, Chhattisgarh and the Northeast. Moreover, nation-states have had to introduce new laws not dissimilar to the GCTOC to deal with the challenges of transnational terrorism, carried out by skilled personnel trained to defeat law-enforcement. Elsewhere, these legal instruments were introduced along with substantial enhancement in police inves-tigative capacity — and, critically, police account-ability. Indian lawmakers have done next to nothing to bring police forces out of the colonial era. In the absence of police capacity-building, brutality re-mains the principal investigative tool.

While Haasan is also a singer and composer, Aksha-ra was active behind the

Haasan, who has acted in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu films, says getting into movies was not part of her initial plan. “I never planned to be an actress in Bollywood as I never felt I could look the part.

The 49-year old actor is pres-ently filming for Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale, slated to hit screens on Decem-ber 18. He has Maneesh Sharma’s Fan and Rahul Dholakia’s Raees releas-ing next year.

Girls are unmistakable. The parallels are a re-minder that Bhandarkar may be lamentable direc-tor and a terrible actor, but the reason he can’t be dismissed is his ability to spot interesting stories in real life. He’s shown this skill ever since Chandni Bar and it’s why actors like Tabu, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have worked with him. It’s also the reason Bhan-darkar has so many Na-tional Awards to his name. Unfortunately, Bhandarkar’s nose for stories isn’t matched ei-

ther by his writing or di-rectorial talent. It doesn’t help that he chooses to collaborate with people like his writing partner on Calendar Girls, Rohit Banawlikar. There are a lot of people who work hard to make Calendar Girls worse than it could have been, like the sound department that not only layers the film with a ter-rible background score, but also makes it pain-fully obvious that the dialogues were dubbed. However, few can match Banawlikar’s contribu-tion to Calendar Girls’ downfall.

Dented by a general slowdown in consumer de-mand and a weak global growth outlook, India Inc expects to get a “booster dosage” of nearly 50 basis points worth of cut in key lending rates in the upcoming monetary policy review of the central bank. “The trouble has been aggravated by a high level of debt in the private sector which makes it onerous for the companies to service the debt,” said D.S. Rawat, secretary general, Associ-ated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham). “Rather, than a small cut, at least a 50 basis points reduction in repo (repurchase rate) with a clear message to the banks to pass on the same, should be pushed.” Assocham asserted that the RBI has remained focused on inflation, while the time has come to give a push to the industrial production, infrastructure and services sectors.

Google turned 17 yesterday. In true Google style, the search engine giant presented itself with a doodle, one that took us back to the ‘90s web and computer world. The doodle shows an old, plastic PC, its CRT monitor display the ‘Google!’ logo, a lava lamp, a Lego-made server, and Li-nux’s affable penguin peeking out from behind the monitor. Google’s celebratory doodle was a throwback to the nascent days of the Internet, that has since connected the entire world into a glit-tering network web. Google has played a pivotal role in making internet access commonplace, and creating a world where ‘googling’ has actually become a crucial action. The doodle is reminis-cent of days of small screens and slow internet connection speeds, taking us back to the days of when it had started. Google celebrated its 17th birthday on September 27. However, the date has been a matter of contention over time. September 27 has been marked as Google’s inception date since 2006. In 2005, the date was September 26.

The first time it underwent change was in 2004, when the doodle was put up on September 7.

It won’t be wrong to say that the coming T20 se-ries between India and South Africa will be the start of a tune-up for the two heavyweights in run-up to the ICC World Twenty20 next year; and considering it will be played in India, it holds more significance for the Proteas. With the Indi-an Premier League (IPL) finding a permanent place in the cricket cal-endar over the last eight years, most of the noted foreign cricketers hold a

good knowledge of the Indian conditions and tracks, which holds true for South Africa captain Faf du Plessis as well. Du Plessis’s experience with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should come good for the tourists, more so for Du Plessis himself as a leader marshalling his troops since he played under MS Dhoni at CSK and will be well aware of the strategies the In-dian skipper employs on the field. But playing in front of packed Indian stadiums can at times put off youngsters, which is

where the experience of Du Plessis and other se-niors in the squad will count. “A few of us are used to those crowds of 50,000 or 60,000 people, but for the younger guys it’s something to get used to. When you get there at the beginning of your ca-reer, the fans can be quite intimidating,” du Plessis was quoted as saying. But that, says the SA T20 captain, is exciting at the same time because those young players have an opportunity to impress for a place in the World T20 squad.

After the Gujarat high court ordered the closure of illegal resorts and hotels around Gir sanctuary, the state tourism department had legalized them under its home stay policy. But the department has now said that such permission to illegal resorts is ‘not within the ambit of its home stay policy’.
