CBSE Class X exams
Dehradun, June 1 Kanika Pasricha, who wants to become an engineer, said: “Appearing in the board examinations was just like giving any mid-term exams with no pressure to score the highest percentage. The grading system has also helped those who cannot bear pressure.” Ayushi Garg, who has also secured A1 grade, said: “The guidance of my teachers helped me a lot while preparing for the board exams. The grading system is the best method to help students to come up with an effective examination strategy.” Another topper in the school, Anmol Singh, says: “Though the grading system has given a respite to average students, it has not gone down well with brighter students, as one who has secured 95 per cent is considered under the same grade where a student with 91 per cent falls.” Divya Shukla, another topper in the school, said the board should come up with an optional system, wherein candidates could opt for either the percentage pattern or the grade pattern. “I just paid concentration in classes and took no tuitions. Thorough revision helped me to come on top today,” said Rishika Luhach. Dinesh Barthwal, Vice-Principal of Doon International School, said: “I am happy with the results of my school. My students have done exceptionally well and have brought laurels to the school and their families. I wish them as well as my teachers a very good luck in the future.” Results of other schools (A1 grade) DAV Public School Ashish Choubey, Himani Chauhan, Monika Bisht and Swati Dhar Doon International School Ayushi Garg, Anmol Singh, Divya Shukla, Shreya Singh and Kanika Pasricha Kendriya Vidyalaya (ONGC) Niharika Singh, Shreya Sharma, Ekta Rawat, Arshi Sashi, Akshita, C Prashant, Kanika Rawat, Ravindra Bhatt and Shubham Gupta Kendriya Vidyalaya (FRI) Ankit Gupta, Shailja Pal and Shrishti Prashar Kendriya Vidyalaya (IMA) Ruby and Saurab

Tiger died due to snare injuries, says report
Dehradun, June 1 A joint team of veterinarians, comprising Rajeev Singh, RK Pathak and Dinesh Arya, who conducted the post-mortem examination, confirmed the injury marks on the neck of the tiger were caused by a snare. The team has also sent the viscera of the dead tiger to a higher centre. Ramanagar Divisional Forest Officer Ravindra Juyal admitted that the tiger could have died after getting stuck in a snare. He, however, said the snare could have been put up by some villagers to trap a deer and not necessarily meant to target a tiger. Meanwhile, a committee has been constituted to probe the reasons behind the death of the tiger. The Uttarakhand Conservator of Forests, Western Circle, had directed the committee to carry out a detailed investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of the tiger. The committee has two Sub Divisional Forest-level officers. Meanwhile, concerned over frequent tiger deaths in the Corbett Landscape, Uttarakhand coordinator of the Wildlife Protection Society of India Rajendra Agarwal has sought formation of two committees, one comprising scientists of the Wildlife Institute of India and other those of the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, to ascertain exact reasons behind the death of 10 tigers and five cubs in the Corbett Landscape. He pointed out a total of six tiger deaths had taken place in the Corbett Landscape last year (2010). Five cubs carried in the womb of a tigress were found dead in Kalagarh. Significantly, five of these tiger deaths had taken place in the Ramnagar forest division alone.
