2 die in Jalgaon communal riots
Mumbai, April 23 According to sources in Jalgaon, tension between the two communities had heightened with so-called leaders from both sides issuing provocative statements for the past month. The latest incident was sparked off when a marriage procession passing outside a mosque was attacked by people who had gathered for prayer. With the tension showing no signs of abating, the authorities clamped curfew at the Chopda tehsil. The police had to fire more than 25 rounds to disperse the stone-throwing mob. Several shops were burnt in the violence, the police said. The local administrative officials say teams of paramilitary forces have been rushed to the area to prevent further escalation of violence. The Maharashtra government today ordered a CID inquiry into the riots and subsequent the police firing. Making a statement in the Assembly in response to an adjournment motion notice sought to be tabled by Gulabrao Patil (Shiv Sena) deputy chief minister R.R. Patil said the families of the dead would be given compensation of Rs one lakh each. He defended the police action and said they were forced to open fire as both the communities came face to face and even the policemen were beaten up. However, leader of the Opposition Ramdas Kadam objected and said the policemen were at fault in firing the bullet in the head and stomach. Earlier this month, at the Raver tehsil nearby the police had to fire in the air to disperse rioting mobs when members of a Ram Navami procession threw gulal on a mosque along the way. The situation worsened a few days later when one of the persons injured in the violence died in hospital, according to the police. Even in the earlier incident, the authorities had to clamp a 12-hour curfew in order to bring normalcy in the area. “The riots are a handiwork of politicians and the local officials, who are involved with them,” says a local resident. According to him, the administration allowed the hot-heads from both the communities to carry out their propaganda without any checks on them. “Usually, the authorities form a peace community with members from both the communities and work out a peaceful solution. But this time no one was interested in maintaining peace,” the source from Jalgaon said.

Kolkata, April 23 The BJP, the SUCI, the CPI (M-L), the RJD, the Samajwadi Party and all other anti-CPM forces have agreed to lend their support to the Nandigram people. The RSP, one of the major partners
of the Left Front, would these parties against the CPM. The local leaders of all anti-CPM parties took the decision at a meeting at Nandigram today. The panchayat elections would be held in three phases beginning

Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee today met chief secretary A.K. Deb, home secretary Ashoke Mohan Chakraborty and DGP Anup Bhora at the Writers Buildings and discussed the preparations for the polls. After the meeting, the home secretary said they had demanded one company of paramilitary forces from the Centre for its deployment in the state during the panchayat elections, but the demand was turned down. He said the government was taking extra precautionary measures in the Naxalite-dominated areas of Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum, Midnapore and Burdwan, where several CPM workers and their supporters were killed by Maoists recently. He said superintendents of police were told to identify specific areas where major disturbances were apprehended during the polls and accordingly the forces would be deployed. CPM state secretary Biman Bose alleged today that there was an unholy alliance of communal and reactionary forces against the CPM, but still the party would win the maximum number of seats in the three-tier panchayat polls.

Meghalaya Politics
Guwahati, April 23 The man, who had chosen to leave Indian National Congress, protesting the clout of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty in the party, has now found three of his wards wearing his shoes in Meghalaya politics. While two of his sons, Conrad K Sangma and James K Sangma ensconced themselves in the state politics after getting elected to the Meghalaya assembly in the March election, one of his daughters, Agatha K Sangma has lost no time to follow the footsteps of her elder siblings. A first timer in Meghalaya House, Conrad Sangma, who is armed with an MBA degree, has been entrusted with the responsibilities of the key cabinet portfolios, including finance and power in the MPA government, raising many eyebrows. Whether the senior Sangma admits it or not, the Sangma dynasty is on the roll in Meghalaya politics. Thanks to his ‘clout’ in the hill state, especially in his fiefdom in Garo Hills as well as in the ruling MPA coalition, his brainchild. A lawyer in the Delhi High Court, 28-year-old Agatha, has been chosen by the NCP as its candidate to contest in May the 22 Lok Sabha byelection to Tura parliamentary seat in Garo Hills that fell vacant after her illustrious father resigned on being elected to the Meghalaya Assembly in March Assembly polls. The Tura Lok Sabha seat that was represented by P. A. Sangma for several times. Agatha is expected to file her nomination papers on May 1 and she is sure to be supported by NCP’s allies in the ruling Meghalaya Progressive Alliance (MPA). Former Lok Sabha Speaker Sangma told the media that it was the party and people of Garo Hills, who wanted his daughter Agatha to contest the byelection to Tura Lok Sabha seat. Even as political rivals accused him of encouraging dynastic politics unbecoming of Meghalaya, the NCP stalwart dismissed the allegations saying that he hasn’t groomed any of his five children — three sons and two daughters -to be his successor in politics and that three of them are now in politics on their own, abiding by the wishes of the people in Garo hills.

Wheat procurement to cross 150 lakh tonnes
New Delhi, April 23 Agriculture minister Sharad Pawar on Wednesday said during the past 10 days of procurement, 86.25 lakh tonnes of wheat had been procured by government agencies for the PDS, thereby meeting almost 60 per cent of the estimated goal of 150 lakh tonnes. At the beginning of the current Rabi marketing season, the government had set the procurement target at 1.5 million tonnes. Last year, it was able to procure only 1.1 million tonnes and was forced to import 1.8 million tonnes to augment buffer stock. On Tuesday, the government also claimed that food grain production during 2007-08 had reached a record of 227.32 million tonnes in case of rice, wheat, oil seeds, cotton and coarse grains. While skeptics say that declarations about the bumper crop and adequate procurement are election-driven. But today’s figures as well as yesterday’s estimates of record food grain production during 2007-08 also mean that the country will not have to import wheat this year and prices will be
stabilised. In fact, there is a heavy arrival of wheat in mandis and the agriculture minister had expressed confidence that the target for wheat procurement was likely to be completed within the next five to seven days. From Punjab and Haryana, which fulfills the maximum needs for the PDS, ICDS, school noon meal programme and food security reserves, government has procured about 99 per cent of the total market arrivals of wheat so far. The two states contribute 80 per cent of the total wheat for the central pool. While majority of 86.25 lakh tonnes of wheat has been procured from Punjab and Haryana, the Center has appreciated steps taken by Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra governments to improve wheat procurement. It has asked other wheat growing states to take necessary steps to ensure enough wheat procurement by the government agencies. In India wheat has now become national crop and its consumption is increasing in southern and northeastern states. Internationally there is a shortage of wheat due to variety of factors, including consecutive drought years in Australia and bad weather conditions in other wheat producing countries. In the US wheat is being diversified towards animal feed as corn and maize is used to produce biofuel. States have also been asked to take necessary steps for procurement of rice in the Kharif season. Inaugurating the Conference of State Agriculture and Agricultural Marketing Ministers, Pawar said rice-producing states that did not procure adequate quantities of rice should give special attention to procurement. He appealed to the states to make best use of initiatives taken in recent years to ensure food security. Pawar called upon state ministers to give high priority to better water use efficiency, ensuring availability of quality seed and fertilisers, improving marketing infrastructure, introducing market reforms and disseminating new technology through the extension network. He said conservation farming was required especially in Punjab, Hayana and western UP, where deceleration in productivity growth in food grains had been observed in post green revolution period due to unsustainable use of soil and water resources. Calling upon the states to expedite market reforms, the minister said investments in post-harvest and cold-chain infrastructure were needed for which entry of the private sector was necessary to bring latest technology and expertise in marketing. Therefore, an appropriate regulatory and policy environment was necessary. He said the states had been asked by the ministry of agriculture to amend their Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Acts for de-regulation of the agricultural marketing system. Twenty-two states had amended their APMC Acts, but had not yet notified APMC Rules. A draft of model APMC Rules had been circulated to states. The ministry is also putting forth a proposal to constitute an Empowered Committee of State Agriculture Marketing Ministers to facilitate faster implementation of marketing reforms.

Rural development: Govt doles out promises
New Delhi, April 23 Though it admitted that lack of potable water in villages was a matter of serious concern, the only solution it offered was the statistic of Rs 39,490 crore, which has been earmarked in the 11th Five Year Plan for the cause. Right now, 68 per cent Indian villages don’t have drinking water facility -- a matter that bothered most of the 40 MPs who participated in the six-hour long discussion on demand for grants for rural development ministry in the Lok Sabha today. The government remained non-committal on the issue of raising minimum wages during the discussion. “The interests of farmers have to be protected. We can’t allow anything that will hit the agriculture further,” said union minister for rural development Raghuvansh Prasad Singh. He further said he was “encouraged” by active participation of members. His speech, however, was more about statistics and how the UPA was spending more on rural development than its predecessor. Singh did not give away much in terms of practical solutions to outstanding problems like 74 per cent people in villages still using firewood; per capita consumption expenditure in villages being less than Rs 12 and 45 per cent people being below poverty line (World Bank report). The government figure for BPL families is 26 per cent. About the review of BPL criteria, Singh said the government was awaiting the report of a committee appointed for the purpose. The minister, however, admitted that discrepancies in the implementation of the NREGA was a serious issue. The government is now looking at institutes of excellence in rural development and IIMs to iron out wrinkles in the NREGA implementation. It also plans publicity campaigns in villages to see that actual beneficiaries are benefited. Reacting to concerns on bogus job cards being issued under NREGA, Singh said that all payments would now be made through accounts in banks or post offices.

ISRO to launch 10 satellites at one go
Chennai, April 23 ISRO sources said today that the satellites would be launched by the 12th flight of ISRO’s workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C9. This was for the first time in the history of India’s space programme that 10 satellites would be launched in a mission, after it successfully launched four satellites when PSLV-C7 carried CARTOSAT-2, Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1), Indonesian LAPAN-TUBSAT and Argentina’s PEHUENSAT-1 in January 2007. The bunch of satellites to be launched from the second launch pad of the SHAR Range on April 28 included India’s Cartosat-2A, weighing 690 kg, and Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1), weighing about 83 kg, which would have new technologies, including miniaturisation technology. It would be sent for remote sensing purposes. With a resolution of one metre, Cartosat-2A would be used for mapping purposes. The other eight satellites were nano satellites and they together weigh about 50 kg. The satellites were from Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany. ISRO has fixed the launch time at 0923 hrs and the final countdown would be fixed soon. The satellites will be launched by the core-alone 44-m-tall and 230-tonne PSLV, without the strap-on motors. ISRO officials said it would be an international mission, as the sleek PSLV would be placing 10 satellites in the intended orbit in one mission. “'It will be a tricky mission as the satellites have to be put in the orbit at the right time and in right angle one after another”, they said, adding that the role of the ejection mechanism would be crucial in the mission. Of the eight-nano satellites, six form a cluster called NLS-4. Of the six, one each was from the University of Toronto in Canada, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands, and two were from Japan. The seventh one, named NLS-5, weighed 16 kg and was from the University of Toronto. The eighth, called Rubin-8, was from Germany and it weighed seven kg. These satellites were built to learn the art of fabricating satellites by academicians and to test nano technologies for use in satellites. The launch had more commercial value as Antrix Corporation, the financial arm of ISRO, would be charging money for carrying foreign satellites.

Big B hits out at Shatrughan in blog
Mumbai, April 23 Taking the war of words to cyberspace, Bachchan, in his newly created blog reacted to media reports where “my colleague, friend and neighbour Shatrughan Sinha” is purported to have said “Sab kissika beta hai, ya kissiki bahu, ya kissiki biwi” in regard to the nomination list of the IIFA awards. The Big B, who is IIFA’s brand ambassador, said: “I am surprised at this observation, especially since, during the time of the national award selection for best actress in one of the past years, when the award went to Raveena Tandon. It was alleged that Shatrughan Sinha’s wife, the lovely and graceful Poonam, a great friend of Raveena’s mother had recommended the appointment of MacMohan, brother of Raveena’s mother, on the board of the jury to favour the actress.” He added: “If this alleged story is true then, I do value Shatrughan Sinha’s statement (Sab Kissika) you are so right Shatru !!,” said Big B in the blog. Reacting to Bachchan’s outbursts, Sinha said he failed to understand the reason for him being overcome by anger. Sinha said the superstar’s comments on him were “unnecessary and bad in taste.” — PTI

The ambassadors have evinced interests in assessing the HIV and AIDS scenario in the region and are visiting the worse-affected state of
Manipur. They met the National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) officials here today.

Mohammed Hussain said the family also received a phone call from a person, claiming to be the director of the Dubai-based company, last evening and he said the company was making all efforts to get Naeem released. He said he knew something about the abductors and the company would negotiate and ready to meet any conditions to get them released.

Cheque Bounce Case
Bhopal, April 23 Madhu Gupta, proprietor of M S Photofilms Industries, Juhu, Mumbai, in her petition filed in the apex court has contended that the Bombay High Court has committed a serious error of law by staying the proceedings pending in the Court of Judicial Magistrate for
an offence under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act (NI). Gupta had financed a film of Sridevi and the actress had issued three cheques of Rs 92.5 lakh, 8.41 crore, and 31.62 lakh, all dated March
2, 2007. All three cheques bounced on account of insufficient fund when presented for encashment by Gupta. The Judicial Magistrate had issued summons to Sridevi. Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor and her father-in-law Surinder Kapoor also have
production houses namely Narasimha Enterprises and S K Films Enterprises. In the meantime Boney Kapoor and Surinder Kapoor filed a criminal complaint with the police alleging that the cheques are forged and case of forgery should be registered against Gupta. Sridevi moved the High Court for quashing of the proceedings under section 482 CrPc and learned single judge of the high court stayed the proceedings under section 138 of the NI act, till the investigation in the case of forgery were complete. Gupta in her petition filed in the apex court has also contended that since the trial court was already seize of the matter, police cannot conduct parallel investigation and original cheques were already on the court record and the court will decide whether the cheques were forged. The petition is likely to come up for hearing next week.

Vacate land, SC tells owner of Appu Ghar
New Delhi, April 23 A bench headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat was also informed by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) that it could not allot alternative land in Delhi to “International Amusement Park Private Limited”, owner of Appu Ghar, for setting up of an amusement park. The amusement park at Appu Ghar was set up in the seventies by an NRI with the permission of then Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi. Appu Ghar had already been closed down under the orders of the Supreme Court, which had directed the DDA to hand over the possession of 12 acres of land to the Supreme Court for construction of administrative blocks and an auditorium. With the stand taken by the DDA in the Supreme Court, the last hope of amusement park being shifted to some other place in Delhi has ended.

Neglect old parents, go to jail
Hyderabad, April 23 AP has become the first state in the country to bring into force the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, providing assurance of maintenance and security to senior citizens in the twilight of their lives. The Department of Women Development, Child Welfare Disabled Welfare and Senior Citizens has issued an order to implement the central Act which allows parents, above 60 years of age, to move maintenance tribunals if their children do not take care of their needs. Though the Act was passed by Parliament last year, no state has so far issued notification for its implementation. “We are the first to issue the notification which comes into force from the midnight of April 21,” an official said. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, which is the nodal agency for the Act at the central level, had written to all states last month to issue the notification at the earliest. The Act lays the responsibility of taking care of elderly parents and grandparents on earning sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters. In case there is no scope for the two generations to stay together, it is mandatory for the younger generation to provide sufficient means of maintenance to the senior members. The act provides for imprisonment up to three months in case of neglect or payment of compulsory maintenance of Rs 5,000 per month or both. It also envisages establishment of old age homes in every district. The maintenance tribunals would be set up at the revenue division level for speedy disposal of disputes involving senior citizens. There are an estimated nine crore senior citizens in the country. Increase in average life expectancy has seen percentage of old people in the general population go up from 6.9 per cent in 2001 to 9 per cent now. The collapse of emotional support structures of joint family system, emergence of nuclear families and all-pervading impact of materialistic culture have cast dark shadows on the twilight years of many parents. The new law will serve as a boon to old parents who often suffer in silence the insults by their near and dear ones.
