Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday pollution warn-ings were so scary in the city that something dras-tic was needed, referring to his government’s deci-sion on traffic rationing. He said the decision to let cars with odd and even number plates run only on alternate days would be tried out for a few days and the details needed to be thrashed out. “There is a pollution emergency in Delhi.

President Barack Obama insisted that the United States “will not be terro-rised” in the wake of the deadly attack in California while renewing his call for tighter gun control mea-sures in a weekly address on Saturday. As it became increasingly likely that the San Bernardino shoot-ing spree that left 14 peo-ple dead was inspired by the Islamic State group, Obama vowed that inves-tigators would “get to the bottom” of how and why the rampage occurred. It is entirely possible that these two attackers were radicalised to commit this act of terror,” Obama said in remarks that expanded beyond his initial singu-lar focus on gun control. “We know that ISIL and

something urgent had to be done,” Kejriwal added. “We thought a lot about the decision we made yes-terday (on Friday) on cars with even and odd number plates plying on alternate days… Media picked only odd-even number plate announcement we made, ignored other announce-ments.” he said. Kejriwal also laid out the rationale for his government’s oth-er anti-pollution mea-sures. “Soon, a tender for vacuum cleaning of Public Works Depart-

ment roads in Delhi will be announced,” he said. “People burning garbage will be fined as part of measures to control pollu-tion,” the Delhi CM add-ed. The Delhi government said on Friday that start-ing January 1, the days when a private car would be allowed on the streets would depend on wheth-er its licence plate ended in an even or odd num-ber. The government also said it would shut down a power plant in the capital that burns coal, increase

public transportation and inspect trucks at the bor-der to make sure they comply with emissions regulations. Speaking at the summit, the Delhi CM also hit out at the Naren-dra Modi-led central gov-ernment. “Governance is not rocket science. Day-to-day interference from Centre completely saps you,” he said. Kejeriwal said a hostile government was the only challenge the Aam Aadmi Party govern-ment was facing. He also said Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung was creating hurdles in the function-ing of his government. “The LG is sitting like a headmaster and saying I declare your order null and void.” The Delhi CM also slammed the Delhi Police, saying they don’t cooperate with the AAP government.

other terrorist groups are actively encourag-ing people -- around the world and in our country -- to commit terrible acts of violence, often times as lone wolf actors,” he said using an alternate acronym for the Islamic State group. “All of us -- government, law enforce-ment, communities, faith leaders -- need to work together to prevent peo-ple from falling victim to these hateful ideologies.” The attackers, US-born

Muslim Syed Farook, 28, and his 29-year-old Paki-stani wife Tashfeen Ma-lik, were killed during a police manhunt. The FBI is investigating possible links to groups outside the United States and said the rampage is being probed as “an act of terrorism”.

modation, Shabir tried to escape. However, he was immediately overpow-ered by the police. His name along with that of an army personnel Jogin-er posted in Jammu had emerged during inter-rogation of Kifaitullah Khan, a lab assistant at the Government High-er Secondary School at Manjakote, who had

been running the Paki-stani spy ring in the bor-der state and his source Abdul Rashid, a serv-ing BSF head constable. While the former was arrested at New Delhi Railway Station when he was on way to Bhopal, the latter was arrested from Rajouri town where he was posted in intelli-gence wing of the BSF.

also be provided as per re-quirement. “We have ap-proved a project to setup science city at Rajkot. The state government has al-lotted 10 acres land for the project. The department is planning to spend about Rs 25 crore for the same,” said Govind Patel, minis-ter of state for Energy and Petrochemicals, Science and Technology, Govern-ment Gujarat. Tendering process for Rajkot science city project will begin soon and the state gov-ernment intends to com-plete the project in next two years. “The project

will be completed in next two years. Department

will invite tenders for the project within the current financial year,” said Patel. The Rajkot science city will have theme pavilion, discovery center, innova-tion incubator, e-library, student exploration center, sky observation; science play ground and high-tech scientific exhibition cen-ter and many other infor-

mative and fun elements. “The kind of facilities at the upcoming science city can create new attraction for the Saurashtra region and help students as well,” Patel said. The Govern-ment of Gujarat has estab-lished the Gujarat Council of Science City, a regis-tered society, to achieve the Gujarat Science City mandate. The Gujarat Sci-ence City has been orga-nizing various activities by involving students, teach-ers and visitors as much as possible for making sci-ence simple and interesting at the Ahmedabad.

However, they did not give any specific time-frame about lauching the agitation. “We will wait for the government to see what action it takes in the matter. We will certainly launch a statewide agi-tation if the government fails to withdraw the cases against the Patidar leaders,” Solanki said. “We stand by Patidars,” affirmed Solanki. Stating that the young Patidar leaders were “innocent”, Siddharth Patel said: “The

Congress will protect the Patidar youth from the government atrocities.” One of the reasons for the Congress party’s good performance in rural areas is attributed to split in the Patel community and a section of them voting for the Congress though Patels had generally been voting

for the BJP till 2014 lok sabha elections. The Congress leaders feel that if the present political tempo was continued till December 2017 when the next assembly elections are scheduled to be held, the party can gain much political advantage and come to power in the state.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYDelhi government treats the capital’s air pollution problem with the urgency it meritsDelhi’s government has been under pressure for pre-siding over a building public health crisis due to the deteriorating air quality in the capital. The Delhi High Court has observed that life in the city is akin to “liv-ing in a gas chamber”, and the National Green Tribu-nal criticised the government’s approach to the prob-lem. Yet, the Kejriwal government’s announcements on Friday — with new curbs to be imposed on vehic-ular movement from January 1 as their centrepiece — must be applauded as a brave move in its own right. Having won a large mandate, the AAP is now leverag-ing it to attempt an ambitious break from pollution as usual. This move could have a wider resonance. Delhi may be a small stage, but the constant spotlight on it makes it one of the most important staging grounds for the new project and initiative. The Kejriwal gov-ernment’s package — ranging from the shutdown of a coal-fired plant in Badarpur, to a promise to make an early switch to Euro VI emission norms — could be-come a bold new template for governance in the city. Having taken this step, the government cannot afford to stop there. If the odd-even switcheroo — cars with odd and even licence plates will be allowed on the roads every alternate day — is to be a success, public transport systems, especially last-mile connectivity, must see quick and dramatic improvements. Similar road space rationing has been implemented in sever-al other cities in the world to mitigate air pollution, including Bogota, Mexico City and Beijing. Many of these cities offer reliable, safe and efficient mass transportation options, but even they have seen citi-zens circumvent the restrictions in a variety of ways. In Mexico City, for instance, after residents began buying second cars to get around the ban, carbon monoxide levels rose by 13 per cent. To ensure that there are concrete gains from this licence-plate driv-ing ban, the Delhi government must concentrate on beefing up bus services and devising cheap, clean ways for people to get from metro stations to their homes or places of work. Strict enforcement will also be necessary — the ban will do no good if it is consistently flouted the way other traffic rules are. The experience of other cities also suggests that measures such as the creation of low-emission zones — areas that older, more polluting vehicles cannot enter — and congestion pricing encourage drivers to upgrade to cleaner cars and shift to public transport. At the same time, other sources of pollution must also be looked at. Vehicles belch toxic gases and particles, but so do industrial plants, and garbage disposal remains a problem.

“In principle, a decision has been taken. Many things are yet to be thrashed out… We will experiment with it for some time. May be for 15 days. If there are too many problems, it will be stopped,”

first defeat in the tourna-ment. Australia started strongly and had the bet-ter share of possession and shots at the goal in the first 25 minutes of the game. Australia secured as many as four penalty corners in the opening two quarters but utilised just one. Australia earned their first penalty corner as early as in the second minute but Kieran Govers flick was saved by Neth-

Two minutes later Dw-yer again combined with Mitton to set up another scoring opportunity but the latter pushed the ball wide with only Stock-mann to beat.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is a mighty force in world sports. It is one of the ‘Big Three’ that virtually controls the governance of the Inter-national Cricket Coun-cil. India’s powers come from cricket’s massive following, broadcast deals and interest from corpo-rates. The BCCI’s rich-es have only grown over time. It has received jolts from time to time only to bounce back strongly. The recent pullout of Pepsi as IPL title sponsors was quickly filled by Vivo, a Chinese mobile com-pany. STAR India is one of BCCI’s biggest allies. BCCI’s matters are han-dled by various commit-tees. Apart from getting lucrative allowances and perks, committee mem-bers do a honorary job. The glamour to associate with Indian cricket is good enough to feel powerful and blessed. The IPL bet-

ting and spot-fixing scan-dal 2013 exposed the dark belly of the Indian cricket. Two years of court bat-tles finally exposed how senior functionaries wore many caps and protected their business interests with the help of cricket. The Supreme Court said several persons involved with Indian cricket had conflict of interest. That has led to corruption and highhandedness. The top court has even constitut-ed a panel led by former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha to review BCCI’s

constitution. A report is expected this month. The BCCI is unique. It runs on its own steam and does not need government help unlike other national sports federations which depend on funds from the sports ministry. BCCI has repeatedly refused to come under RTI. But the IPL betting scandal has yorked the Board’s au-dacity to a great extent. Justice Mukul Mudgal, who probed the IPL scan-dal, has exposed the BC-CI’s shortcomings to a large extent.

Cpm General secretary Si-taram Yechury on Friday said Trinamool Congress’ apparent opposition to the BJP in West Bengal was merely superficial. At an event to release the post-er of the party’s Kolkata Plenum, Yechury said: “We do not know where Trinamool stands as far as the BJP is concerned. It is like match-fixing… TMC only appears to be opposed to the BJP to ensure its minority vote. They seem to be co-de-pendent and rely on each

He said that in 1989, af-ter 12 years of service, he had taken a departmental loan of Rs 2 lakh. “At that time, I could only pay the remaining amount of Rs 35,000-Rs 40,000. “The flat was legitimately al-lotted to me. When I had applied for the property, I did not know whose prop-erty I will get. It was a matter of chance that the membership of the man, whose property I was allotted, was dismissed

by the society’s general body,” he said. On allega-tions of undervaluing the property rate while sell-ing the flat to his brother, Bassi said, “No property in Delhi can be regis-tered by undervaluing the property rates. My property rate was above the circle rate when my brother purchased it from me.” Earlier in the day, Bassi had accused the AAP government of in-dulging in a “vicious pro-paganda” and said that he will take the “cheats” to the “graveyard”. The AAP legislators also de-manded action against Bassi for his ‘graveyard’ comment.

Viral said he had informed Bharuch Police about this, but he was

not taken seriously. In-vestigation has revealed that accused of Shirish Bengali murder case Yunus Manzar had taken money from Jaykar Ma-haraj, but he was refus-ing to return the money. Yunus was into operation of gambling den which was closed for last some time. He was therefore in financial trouble. On the other hand Jaykar Maharaj was seeking his money back. It is learnt

that Maharaj had filed case in Pune court in connection with pend-ing payment of over Rs 10 lakh by Yunus.Yunus had to visit Pune repeat-edly for this case.

etc. He however was not clear whether these poli-cies were meant only for Indian investors or for-eign investors also. But, he shared his opinion by saying that if these in-centives were extended to them too; India would prove to be an attrac-tive and favourable in-vestment destination for setting up plants for the Chinese dyestuff manu-facturers. “Additional-ly, India is currently the fastest growing econo-my in the world, which indicates a bright future for the country and also gives investors a posi-tive outlook towards in-vesting in India,” he in-formed.

Trinamool, on the other hand, needs the BJP to ensure that the in-vestigation in its various scams are scuttled,” he added. Yechury claimed that “protection of the democratic process” will be the Left Front’s prima-ry issue in the run up to the state Assembly elec-tions next year. “We have time and time again raised the issue of free and fair elections in Bengal with the Election Commission and will continue to do so,’’ he said, adding that

the party will not discuss any electoral tactics till the end of this year. Hint-ing that a certain amount of revamping and re-structuring of the party was inevitable, the CPM leader said: “The erosion of the party in the state has stopped. Still, a cer-tain number of people will have to be weeded out. But even when CPM was the ruling party in the state, West Bengal saw the high-est number of disciplinary action and expulsion with-in the party.” Speaking on the tea garden workers in North Bengal allegedly dying of starvation recent-ly, Yechury blamed both the Centre and state for situation.

ber 8 and the first ferry would move from Okha to Mandav on December 21. The ferry would run non stop between the two ports. ‘Around 450 km long road route between the two towns is covered in 11 to 12 hours but the distance through sea route will shrink to around 24 nautical miles or around 44 kms and the-state-of-the-art ferry will take around 75 minutes in covering the distance,’ Mr. Joshi said. ‘There are four classes, one non AC and three AC, in the fer-ry. The fare for the non AC class per person is

Rs 500 while that for AC (economy) will be Rs 700 and for AC (cafe) and AC (business) class will be Rs 800 and 900 respec-tively,’ he said. The Fer-ry service being started as a joint initiative of the Union Ministry for Ship-ping, Gujarat Maritime Board and the Tourism Department will facili-tate the tourists visiting the ancient shrine city of Dwarka (around 30 km from Okha) to see Mand-vi, famous for its beach and some other places in Kutchh in a much little period as compared to the road route.
