This has been learntthat till now only a caseagainst unknown peoplehas been registered in PSHavelock, despite of the factthat the SHO of Havelock

The video alsoshows that the Dy.S.P of theHavelock was standing rightat the spot where some anti-social elements werethrashing the SHO of FireStation but still the incidentoccurred. Only a handful of

Jawans and public came tothe rescue of the SHO ofHavelock Fire Station.

This forced the menand youths of the village tocome out in open andprotect them. Butsurprisingly no one lodgedany FIR in Police Stationand no eye witness hascome forward. When A & N

EDITORIAL.....Teetotaller's hangover

On the whole my friends, blessthem, are fairly tolerant of myhuman vices like envelopingthem in bone-crushing hugs,shrieking like a steam trainwhen i meet them after longstretches of time or my famousimitation of a rigid stone pillarif i'm deposited on a dancefloor. However, there's onespecific failing which even theyfind hard to forgive —Teetotalitarianism.

They clutch their beerbottles for support as theywhisper in incredulous tones,'No! Still? Surely not!' Andwho can blame them? For theyhave devoted a sizeable chunkof their lives to instill the 'spirit'in me but in vain.

Oh, they always man-aged to find excuses to con-vince themselves it was just apassing phase. During our un-dergraduate days they attrib-uted it to the clinging vestigesof small-town conservatism.'He's shy,' they would nodsagely. 'He'll soon grow out ofit.' During my postgraduatedays, they blamed it on themany academic pressures.'How can any person startdrinking when he's inundatedwith assignments?' they woulddemand.

But it was when evenEmployment had become away of life that they began tohave faint stirrings of doubt. Onoccasional gatherings i wouldbe welcomed with a sly winkby a friend, 'You'll just diewhen you see what i've ar-ranged for you.' I'd follow her,idly hoping to be introduced toan attractive acquaintance onlyto be greet ed by a t all,slim...book. The Drinks Menu,to be precise.

'No, i really don't thinki'm ready for this,' i would fal-ter only to be greeted with firmassertions of how it was thelogical next step in life, rightafter Adolescence and just be-fore Routine. 'Everyone needsa drink,' my friend would say,her eyes glistening. 'Let me helpyou find yours!'Of course imanaged to squirm out of thesetricky situations somehow,

feigning many a bad throat orclaiming important meetings thenext day, but it wasn't easy — ibroke many a waiter's heart.They would be standing, penpoised in hand, with a warmsmile of affection directed to-wards me. At my embarrassedrefusal (No thanks, just a glassof warm water please!) theirsmiles would visibly wilt and theirspurned glances would scorchme, hating me for rejecting theirtempting intoxications.

It was worse when itcame to office get-togethers. Forthere would be throngs of peopleabsorbing liquids as if they werepart sponge and there i would be,clutching a glass of cranberryjuice to my heart as if it were atalisman guaranteed to protectme from evil spirits. And if youthink drinking four pints of alco-hol in an hour is a challenge, trymaking a glass of juice last forfour hours. The effort can leaveyou shattered for days.

Once word gets aroundof my 'condition' people turn aninquisitive eye towards me andthere are indignant whispers of'Isn't there a cure for this type ofthing? We are in the 21st cen-tury, for God's sake!' 'Maybe it'sa religious thing?' hazard some ofthe more tolerant ones.

How i wish i could tellthem that it 's none of thosethings! How i long to tell themthat i have tasted practically allthe major classes which 'TheDemon Drink' has to offer —boring beer, weird whiskey, ven-omous vodka and, i know i'mgoing to be crucified for sayingthis, absolutely anticlimacticchampagne (it tasted like bittersoda water; No, really!).

The reason for my indif-ference to these seductive es-sences is something buried in mypast. An old romance. A continu-ing addiction. A guilty secret. Itwas something which, from thevery first time i had tasted it, laidso strong a hold on me that i wasrendered incapable of loving anyother drink.

Who was this temptress,you ask? The iced tea at a fa-mous burger chain.Anyone wantto drink to this?

Government seeks President's nod forintroducing Telangana Bill in Lok Sabha

NEW DELHI: Contrary toearlier expectations, theTelangana Bill will now be in-troduced in Lok Sabha firstinstead of Rajya Sabha withthe government seeking afresh recommendation fromthe President after the UpperHouse secretariat held it as amoney bill.

Sources said themove comes after questionswere raised over the consti-tutionality of introducing thebill first in the Upper House.

The Rajya Sabhasecretariat is of the viewthat since the proposed actwould involve appropriationof money out of the consoli-dated fund, it is a money billas defined in the Constitu-tion and hence has to be firstintroduced in Lok Sabha.

Under Article 117(1)of the Constitution, a moneybill cannot be introduced inRajya Sabha. The RajyaSabha secretar iat a lsosought clarifications fromthe law ministry overwhether or not it is a money

bill. Home ministry officialssaid the plan to table theAndhra PradeshReorganisation Bill in RajyaSabha has been reviewedand a fresh recommenda-tion of President PranabMukherjee has been soughtfor the legislation's introduc-tion in Lok Sabha.

"It will be intro-duced in Lok Sabha first forwhich President's recom-mendation is being sought,"a senior home ministry offi-cial told PTI. The President

had on Monday gave his nodfor bifurcation of AndhraPradesh by approving thelegislation.

The bill was ap-proved by the Union Cabi-net on Friday, notwithstand-ing rejection by the state as-sembly. Under this,Telangana will comprise 10districts and the rest ofAndhra Pradesh 13 districts.

Hyderabad will re-main the common capital forboth the states for a periodnot exceeding 10 years.
