India, China agree toease tension in LadakhBoth sides okay disengagement of troops AGENCYNEW DELHI, SEP 11

Noting that the current situationat their border is not in the inter-est of either side, India and Chinahave agreed on a five-pointroadmap including quick disen-gagement of troops and avoidingany action that could escalate ten-sions for resolving the four-month-long face-off in easternLadakh.

As the two countries reachedthe agreement during the talks be-tween External Affairs Minister SJaishankar and his Chinese coun-terpart Wang Yi on Thursdayevening, government sources saidthe Indian side strongly raised thedeployment of large number oftroops and military equipment byChina along the Line of ActualControl (LAC) in eastern Ladakhand conveyed its concern. TheChinese side could not provide acredible explanation for thetroops buildup, the sources saidon Friday.

Jaishankar and Wang met inMoscow on the sidelines of themeeting of the Shanghai Cooper-ation Organisation(SCO). Thetalks--the second highest politicalcontact between the two countriesin a week--lasted two-and-a-half-hours. Defence Minister RajnathSingh and his Chinese counter-part Gen. Wei Fenghe had also

met in Moscow on Friday on thesidelines of a SCO meet.

Government sources said thefive-point agreement will guidethe approach of the two countriesto the current border situation.

The Indian Army and theChinese People's LiberationArmy(PLA) have been locked ina tense standoff in multiple areasalong the LAC in eastern Ladakhsince early May. Shots were firedacross the LAC on Monday forthe first time in 45 years with thetwo sides accusing each other offiring in the air.

Besides striving for quickdisengagement of troops, the twocountries agreed that their sol-diers should maintain proper dis-

tance from each other and abideby all existing agreements andprotocol on management of thede-facto border.

The Ministry of External Af-fairs(MEA) issued a joint pressstatement early on Friday featur-ing five points which were agreedby both the sides at the "frank andconstructive" discussions by thetwo ministers.

"The two foreign ministersagreed that the current situationin the border areas is not in the in-terest of either side. They agreed,therefore, that the border troopsof both sides should continuetheir dialogue, quickly disengage,maintain proper distance and easetensions," it said.

The joint statement said Jais-hankar and Wang agreed that bothsides should take guidance fromthe series of consensus reachedbetween leaders of the two countries on developing India-China relations, including not al-lowing differences to become dis-putes.

This assessment was a clearreference to decisions taken byPrime Minister Narendra Modiand Chinese President Xi Jinpingat their two informal summits in2018 and 2019.

AGENCYMUMBAI, SEPT 11

A special court in Mumbai on Fridayrejected the bail plea of actor RheaChakraborty, her brother Showik andothers in connection with a drug caserelated to the death of Sushant SinghRajput.

The Special NDPS court also re-jected the bail plea of Abdul Basit,Zaid Vilatra, Dipesh Sawant andSamuel Miranda, who were arrestedby the Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) in the case.

During the hearing before thecourt yesterday, the NCB had op-posed the bail application filed by theaccused. It had said that ShowikChakraborty is an active member ofa drug syndicate connected with drugsupplies.

While opposing the bail toShowik, NCB said that if released onbail he may tamper with the evidenceand also will try to win the witnessby using her (Rhea) position in thesociety and money power.

"Accused Rhea Chakraborty hasacknowledged their statements andher role explained. During statementpresent accused Rhea Chakrabortyrevealed about her involvement inthe procurement of drug and finan-cial transaction and also her instruc-tions to Samuel Miranda, DipeshSawant and applicant ShowikChakraborty in this regard. Thereforeit is clear from the statement that theapplicant is an active member ofdrug syndicate connected with drugsupplies," the NCB had said in its re-sponse to the bail application of theaccused.

Rhea's bail application said no

drugs or psychotropic substanceshave been seized from her and the al-legations, if any, would pertain strict-ly to smaller quantities. It said thereis nothing on record to suggest thatshe was in any way involved with thefinancing of illicit traffic and/or har-bouring the offenders in relation toany drugs.

The Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) had launched an investigationafter it received official communica-tion from Enforcement Directorate(ED), in which there were variouschats related to drug consumption,procurement, usage and transporta-tion in connection with the SushantSingh Rajput death case.

The ED had on July 31 registeredan Enforcement Case InformationReport in the late actor's death caseafter a First Information Report wasfiled by Rajput's father KK Singhagainst Rhea Chakraborty in Biharon July 28.

Rajput was found dead at hisMumbai residence on June 14.

Dr Krishan Bir SinghChaudhary, President, Bharat KrishakSamaj said that Prime Minister NarendraModi has repeatedly emphasized theneed for doubling farmer's income, andcalled for the reduction in the moneyspent by the farmers, but the PMB 2020does not reflect these efforts. Indianfarmers work hard, putting in their blood,sweat, and tears to ensure that the citi-zens of India are well-fed, yet their de-mands for fairer agricultural practicesaren't met. The demands presented bythe Dr. Ashok Dalwai Committee, consti-tuted in 2018, to promote domestic andindigenous industries and agricultural ex-ports from India are missing from thePMB 2020. In fact the Committee hadrecommended for reduction in importand reduce dependence on imported for-mulations, but the present PMB will in-crease the import of formulations and willdamage the Export of Agro Chemicals.

By calling young criminals, gang rapistsindulging in sexual exploitation who havecompleted the age of 16 years as juvenilesand serving them non veg-etable items, paneer etc iswrong. These juveniles haveindulged in crimes and mustbe treated like normal crimi-nals not child. DaughtersShakti Foundation has writ-ten a letter to the Presidentand the Prime Minister seek-ing to amend the JuvenileJustice Act 2015.

Sridhar Ade, founder ofthe Daughters Shakti Foun-dation said that 200 to 250 per cent of cas-es of heinous crimes like rape, gang rapewere done by juveniles aged 16 to 18 inthe last 10 to 15 years in India, according

to media and other sources report.There are several reasons for the in-

crease in these heinous crimes, mainly inwhich child criminals over the age of 16are not punished according to the IndianPenal Code. He said that the Government

made changes in the JuvenileJustice Act-2000. The amend-ment was passed in the new Actin 2015, but it does not containany provision for prevention ofheinous crime that has beencommitted by child abusers, byamending the Juvenile JusticeAct-2015 again, consideringchild abusers who have com-pleted 16 years of age as crimi-nals must be made. DaughtersShakti Foundation has demand-

ed that young criminals must be prosecut-ed as adult criminals, instead of keepingthem in child custody, in juvenile barracksbuilt in prison.

Tarlochan condemnslathi charge

SHIV KUMAR SHARMAKARNAL, SEPT 11

Congress district convenor Tarlochan Singh has said that thebrutal lathi charge made by the police on farmers, jobbers, ac-countants and mandi employees goingto Pipli in the state has also left behindthe repression of Jallianwala Bagh. Theoppressive actions of the BJP and theJJP government also left behind brutal-ly repressive rulers. This has exposedhis real face. He said that the govern-ment has to bear the brunt of what thegovernment has done by barbaricallylathi-charging the farmers and sup-pressing their voice.

By applying various decrees, theBJP government at the centre and in thestate is causing problems for farmers,laborers and jobbers. The economic condition of farmers is alsodeteriorating due to new decrees and policies, so that the gov-ernment has nothing to do. At the time of elections, BJP and JJPwere calling farmers as annadata for taking their votes. Todaythe government is thrashing them with sticks on the same peo-ple. Taking moral responsibility for this act from Chief Minis-ter Manohar Lal, he should publicly apologize to the people ofthe state. He has demanded a severe punishment for the culpritswhile conducting a high-level investigation.

He said that the state governmenthas come down on dictatorship and he strongly con-demns the lathicharge on farmers.He held a pressconference at therest house in Sha-habad. He said thatthe three ordi-nances brought by the Centre are black laws for farm-ers and if these ordinances are implemented, the farm-ers will become bonded laborers in their own land.

Therefore these black laws will not be allowed tobe implemented. Anil said that everyone has everyright to speak his words but this government has triedto suppress the voice of the farmers under the con-spiracy. Anil Dhantoudi said that if the police regis-tered a case against a single farmer for this rally, theCongress would oppose it completely and also take tothe streets for the farmers. He said that if the govern-ment does not withdraw this ordinance, then the Con-gress will join a much larger movement with the farm-ers but will not let the farmers go to waste.

Prime Minister Imran Khan recently claimed thatthere is no crackdown on the press in the country.However, the arrest of editors and threats of vio-

lence against journalists clearly show the stark reality ofthe situation in Pakistan. "I don't mind criticism but thereis blatant propaganda against the government. Unfortu-nately, it is the government who feels unprotected, not themedia," Khan told Al Jazeera.There are many who disagree.As per an article by Brad Adams, director of the HumanRights Watch in Asia, Mur Shakilur Rehman, the editorin chief of the Jang group, has been in pretrial detentionsince March 12 after being arrested in Lahore by the Na-tional Accountability Bureau (NAB) pertaining to a 34-year-old property transaction.Rehman had requested bail on account of ill-health butwas denied by the Lahore High Court. However, theSupreme Court Bar Association and the Pakistan BarCouncil termed the ruling as "disappointing and painful"."The NAB has been widely criticised as being used forpolitical purposes and it's evident that the charges againstRehman were politically motivated. Rehman's ordealepitomizes the fast-shrinking space for dissent and criti-cism in Pakistan," wrote Adams.The article further cited the Jang Groups' allegations of itsreporters, editors, and producers receiving dozens of let-ters of "critical reporting of the NAB. GEO TV, a privatechannel of the group was forced "off the air" and audienceaccess restricted "as punishment for editorials criticisingthe government". "Pakistani authorities frequently useprolonged pretrial detention as a form of punishment andintimidation. The United Nations Human Rights Com-mittee, which monitors state compliance with the Inter-national Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, has stat-ed that 'pretrial detention should be an exception and asshort as possible'," the Asia director for Human RightsWatch wrote further."In Pakistan, arbitrary arrest, detention, and baselesscriminal prosecutions are used as instruments of presscensorship. So long as Rehman and others in the mediaare punished for practicing journalism, Prime MinisterKhan's statement that "I don't mind criticism" is not worththe paper it won't be printed on," Adams wrote.The United Nations Human Rights Office on Tuesday ex-pressed its concern over the increasing instances ofthreats of violence against journalists and human rightsactivists in Pakistan.

Emotion vocabulary may helpreflect state of well-being

Vocabulary that oneuses to describe theiremotions can help in

indicating the mental, physi-cal, and overall well-being,according to new research.Led by a scientist at the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh Schoolof Medicine, the results of thestudy were published in Na-ture Communications.

A larger negative emotionvocabulary -- or differentways to describe similar feel-ings--correlates with morepsychological distress andpoorer physical health, whilea larger positive emotion vo-cabulary correlates with bet-ter well-being and physicalhealth. "Our language seems

to indicate our expertise withstates of emotion we are morecomfortable with. It lookslike there's a congruency be-tween how many differentways we can name a feelingand how often and likely weare to experience that feel-ing," said lead author VeraVine, Ph.D., a postdoctoralfellow in the Department ofPsychiatry at Pitt.

To examine how emotionvocabulary depth corre-sponds broadly with lived ex-perience, Vine and her teamanalyzed public blogs writtenby more than 35,000 individ-uals and stream-of-conscious-ness essays by 1,567 collegestudents. The students also

self-reported their moods pe-riodically during the experi-ment.

Overall, people who useda wider variety of negativeemotion words tended to dis-play linguistic markers asso-ciated with lower well-being--such as references to illnessand being alone--and reportedgreater depression and neu-roticism, as well as poorerphysical health.

Conversely, those whoused a variety of positiveemotion words tended to dis-play linguistic markers ofwell-being--such as refer-ences to leisure activities,achievements, and being partof a group.

The universe's funhousemirrors are revealing adifference between how

dark matter behaves in theoryand how it appears to act inreality. Dark matter is the in-visible glue that keeps starsbound together inside agalaxy. It makes up most of agalaxy's mass and creates aninvisible scaffold that tethersgalaxies to form clusters. Itdoes not emit, absorb, or re-flect light. It does not interactwith any known particles. Itspresence is known onlythrough its gravitational pullon the visible matter in space.

Although dark matter islightly smeared throughoutthe universe, it is heaped inregions of space called galaxyclusters. Each of these mas-sive clusters, held together bygravity, is made up of about1,000 individual galaxies --each of which carries its owndollop of dark matter. In anew study in the journal Sci-ence, Yale astrophysicistPriyamvada Natarajan and a

team of international re-searchers analysed HubbleSpace Telescope images fromseveral massive galaxy clus-ters and found that the small-er dollops of dark matter as-sociated with cluster galaxieswere significantly more con-centrated than predicted by

theorists. The finding impliesthere may be a missing ingre-dient in scientists' under-standing of dark matter."There's a feature of the realuniverse that we are simplynot capturing in our currenttheoretical models," saidNatarajan, a senior author of

the study and a professor ofastronomy and physics atYale. "This could signal a gapin our current understandingof the nature of dark matterand its properties, as this ex-quisite data has permitted usto probe the detailed distribu-tion of dark matter on the

smallest scales." Astronomersare able to "map" the distribu-tion of dark matter withingalaxy clusters via the bend-ing of light the galaxies pro-duce -- a concept called grav-itational lensing. Like a fun-house mirror, gravitationallensing distorts the shapes ofbackground galaxies that ap-pear in telescope images ofcluster galaxies. The higherthe concentration of dark mat-ter in a cluster, the more dra-matic the observed lensing ef-fects. The researchers usedimages from NASA's HubbleSpace Telescope, coupledwith spectroscopy from theEuropean Southern Observa-tory's Very Large Telescope,to produce high-fidelity dark-matter maps. Hubble SpaceTelescope image of the lens-ing cluster MACSJ1206. Theinset shows the derived de-tailed spatial distribution ofdark matter -- the heapedmountain range dotted withsmall peaks. The Hubble im-age reveals lensing features

on large, distorted arcs (pro-duced by dark matter) and theevent produced by smaller-scaled dark matter clumps(shown in the thumbnail im-ages). HST Image Credit:NASA, ESA, G. Caminha(University of Groningen),M. Meneghetti (Observatoryof Astrophysics and SpaceScience of Bologna), P.Natarajan (Yale University),and the CLASH team. A 3Dview of the data showed thepresence of dark matter hills,mounds, and valleys. Fromthis perspective, the mappeddark matter looks like amountain range, with peakedregions. The peaks are thedollops of dark matter associ-ated with individual clustergalaxies. The especially highquality of the study's data al-lowed the researchers to testwhether these dark matterlandscapes matched theory-based computer simulationsof galaxy clusters with similarmasses, located at roughly thesame distances.

Since the launch of very first over the top platform by Re-liance Entertainment, OTT has become an essential fac-tor in every individual's life and it has no looking back.

Audiences depend upon digital media for information, enter-tainment as well as communication needs and OTT has nar-rowed it to a single device.

OTT & Your WorldWith the advent of OTT, the use of traditional cable and

satellite television service has di-minished. OTT - through highspeed internet connection, consti-tute app based services like Netflix,Service Providers' Apps, News Ori-ented, Trade related Apps and muchmore. These evolutionary technolo-gies have oriented your world in asmartphone, PC or a Tablet.

ESSENCE OF OTTThere are about 450 million

smartphone users in the country.Half of the population of the country has access to internet.According to the analyzed data, it is seen that India is gainingpotential of a big internet market. In 2019, India was rankedas the second largest online market worldwide.The digital me-dia has thrived its presence by providing digital content whichis quick to consume. Another reason for OTT to gain impor-tance is overtly engagement of users into social media. OTThas come forward not only as a recreational tool but also sup-plemented the daily chores of users through e-services.

OTT LENDS POWER TO DIGITIZATION From past 5 years, The Prime Minister of India has also

provided facilities through OTT by initiating Digital India -Power to Empower. It enables individuals to share verified elec-tronic documents wherever and whenever required as well asaids them to undertake e-commerce, e-health, e-education serv-ices. This not only updates the users but also helps entrepre-neurs by providing them a big market platform. The revolu-tionized Over The Top Facility is governing all spheres of an in-dividual and is supposed to dispense more in the coming times.

Our Moris RadioBIRINDER SINGH

The year was 1965 and the monthSeptember. The mood in thecountry was sombre. The nation

was at war with Pakistan. I was 8 yearsold then. Too young to comprehend thegravity of the situation. At that timepeople were not allowed to switch ontheir lights and complete blackout wasbeing enforced. It meant total darknessafter dusk. I now understand that inthose days the fighter aircrafts were notequipped with night vision equipmentsto assist them in identifying the targetbefore dropping bombs.

Anything illuminated during thenight was taken as a sign of humanhabitation. As darkness descended, of-ficials from the local municipality as-sisted by civilians and Home Guardvolunteers would come in the streetsand knock at almost every household toenforce the blackout.

This is how the possibility of air at-tacks at night was checked. I vividly re-member that we had pasted thick blacksheets and cardboard over our window-panes. Those were the days when mostof houses did not have electricity con-nections. People used lanterns or diyasto light their houses. No street lightswere there. How different those timeswere from today. An air-raid sirenwould make the people rush to safeplaces already earmarked in the housesonly to come out when all-clear sirenwas sounded. Once the siren blared, weall got ourselves packed up in a smallstoreroom. My father and mother wereinvariably there at our side while we, a

herd of five were made to sit under abig table lying in a corner so that thefalling roof of the kacha room in theevent of bomb shelling may not hit us.This is the character of the parents uni-versally. Parents are umbrellas for theirchildren.

They protect them from the hot sunand the cold rain. Never allow anycalamity to befall them. These aresome of the vignettes from my memo-ry of the war of 1965. There is onemore incident of those days that runsthrough my memory lane with utmostintensity. One fine evening, my fathercame home carrying a large box. Eachone of us was excited to see what thebox contained. My father unwrappedthe box and pulled out a 3-band radio,soft yellow in color and make 'Moris.'The glimpse of this talking toybrought wide smiles on our faces. Hehad bought it for Rs.80/-. A large sumin those days. It was the first radio inthe mohalla. A world in itself. On that

day, the Prime Minister of the countrywas to address the nation. In all thegloom of war surrounding everyone inthe country, his words were to bringhope for them. The big table whichwas used in those war days for pro-tecting us, was brought out and placedat a peculiar place in the kacha court-yard of the house. It was decoratedwith spread of a fine multi-coloredtable cloth. The newly brought radiowas placed over there. The long wireof the instrument was inserted in thesocket on a wooden electric switch-board. A very thin black wire was alsoinserted at the back of it to serve as an-tenna the other end of which wasplaced on the roof-top. This so-calledantenna was to ensure better signaland uninterrupted broadcast of the ad-dress of the then Prime MinisterSh.Lal Bahadur Shastri. As a child, Iknew that he commanded great respectamong the masses. Finally, the mo-ment came. An impromptu audiencegathered to listen to what their PrimeMinister had to say about the war.That evening our courtyard becamethe haunt for who's who of not onlyour mohalla but also of the adjoiningarea. It was dark, humid and hot. Still,the entire audience was keeping cooland was fully attentive to what theirleader was saying. He declared thecessation of war and the blackout too.There were smiles all around. Astrange smile on my face too. For thePrime Minister of our country havingaddressed the people from the ram-parts of our kacha courtyard. Thankyou 'Moris'.

On the Nature of LoveThe night is black andthe forest has no end;a million people threadit in a million ways.We have trysts to keepin the darkness, butwhereor with whom - of thatwe are unaware.But we have this faith - that a lifetime'sblisswill appear any minute, with a smileupon its lips.Scents, touches, sounds, snatches ofsongsbrush us, pass us, give us delightfulshocks.Then peradventure there's a flash oflightning:whomever I see that instant I fall inlove with.I call that person and cry: `This life isblest!for your sake such miles have Itraversed!'All those others who came close andmoved offin the darkness - I don't know if theyexist or not.

While cosmetics can help ingiving a glow and bounceto dull and lifeless skin,

some of the harmful constituentscan rather increase skin irritationand cause problems. One such con-stituent according to recent re-

search is a bacterium Pluralibacter.Since its introduction in 2005,

an increasing number of productsposing a microbiological risk havebeen notified via the European rap-id alert system for consumer prod-ucts "Safety Gate" (formerly

RAPEX).Ten cosmetic products listed in

the RAPEX database were affectedby confirmed contamination withP. gergoviae. If products contami-nated with P. gergoviae are used,the bacterium can enter the body

via open wounds or the mucousmembranes. Severe infections maydevelop in people with pre-exist-ing conditions.

In the opinion of the BfR, ex-ternally applied cosmetic productsshould be free of P. gergoviae in

order to avoid a health risk for hu-mans.

The health risks associatedwith the use of such cosmeticproducts cannot currently be quan-tified due to the lack of reliabledata.

Make sure your cosmetics are free of this constituent!

He said that due to theblack spots inside Bollywood and the front opened byKangana Ranaut regarding the murder of SushantRajput, it has targeted Kangna without any reason whileSanjay Raut when the flame of Sushant Rajput murderreached the top leaders of Shiv Sena. It has hurt thehonour of women by abusing them. The abuse given toKangana has not only insulted Himachal's daughter butalso the daughters of the whole of India, who are lesscondemned. Rajeev Rana said that the MaharashtraGovernment is not deserving of insulting womenbecause of Dhritarashtra's son's attachment. He said thatthe way Kangana's bungalow was demolished is directlya murder of democracy but it is surprising that despitethis shameful development, Uddhav government has noteven taken any action on Sanjay Raut. He said that in thecoming years, Bollywood people who are againstKangana Ranaut will be boycotted and their films willbe strongly opposed, especially in Una district. He saidthat not only the whole of Himachal Pradesh, the wholecountry is standing with Kangana and is also with them.He said that he is with Kangana Ranot and wheneverKangana comes to Himachal she will be given a grandwelcome in Una, he added.

Raina cited 'personal reasons' as he flew back to India. "Personally, I'd put Rayudu in there to take that spot," Scott Styris said on Star Sports show 'Cricket Connected'.

Michael Holding criticises England, Australia for not taking a knee

LONDON: Former West Indies cricketer Michael Holding has criticised England and Australia players after they opted not to take a knee, a gesture to show support for the Back Lives Matter movement. Earlier, when West Indies toured England, players from both teams and officials took a knee to express solidarity to the movement. However, the same was not done during the Tests and T20Is against Pakistan and also, during the series against Australia. "All over the world it was no longer a black versus white thing, it was a matter of humanity coming together and deciding 'listen, we need everyone to be treated equally'," Holding told Sky, reported ESPNcricinfo. "So for Pakistan and England not to then take that signal ... the ECB came out with a lame statement as far as I'm concerned, and I didn't hear anything at all about Pakistan, neither the players, nor the board," he added. Holding also lashed out on Australia skipper Aaron Finch, who ahead of the tour had said that education around it is more important than the protest. "Now Australia come here and I see another lame statement from the Australia captain who is saying that he and the England captain have spoken and they decided not to take a knee," Holding said. "I would hope that anyone who gets involved in something like this [does it] because they want to get involved.
