Commission, the topmost recruitment body in the state.
"Today's cabinet meet is in a way first business meeting. As all of you know that this
cabinet has arrived in a perspective which is marked by an outrage at the national
level and within the state on various issues especially lack of probity, lack of
accountability in administration," ruling PDP's spokesperson Naeem Akhtar told
reporters here.
"We thought that the new government's first major challenge is to try and give a major
face-lift to the administration so that credibility is restored," he said, adding that
"sincere effort has been made to make the best use of available human resources" so
that the staff is ultilised in the "best possible way".
The meeting also saw a concern being raised over the lack of a state public services
commission.

BJP-PDP
Govt yet to...
Government is yet to spell out its plan on rehabilitating and resettling those displaced
families that were ready to return to Kashmir. The coalition Government is yet to make its
stand clear whether these displaced people are to be settled in clusters at some indemnified
places or long pending demand for creation of a homeland within the valley was going to
be conceded ?These are the questions that Pandits wish to find an answer from the
Government.
Another issue, It pertains to the job opportunities for the youth in the displaced
families.During the previous congress led UPA Government former Prime Minister,
Manmohan Singh, had cleared a job package for the displaced youth under which 6,000
posts were created in the valet. Out of these 6,000 posts the centre had announced to pay
the wage bill for 3,000 posts and the state Government was supposed to pay the wage bill
for the remaining 3,000 posts. But the state Government had conveyed to the central
Government its inability to foot the wage bill because of financial crunch. And till date out
of 6,000, posts not more than 2,000 boys and girls have been given jobs.
Both the Modi led Central Government and the BJP-PDP coalition Government in
Jammu and Kashmir have not announced whether it would continue with the previous

is greater activity," he said.
The BSF commander said the force, in view of the latest developments, is keeping a
tight vigil in the area and maintaining effective domination of the border areas.
"It (exploration and similar activities) is an ongoing process for last two years... But
we are fully prepared and have geared up ourselves accordingly and we are very
confident and we have been doing it...Our borders are 100 per cent secure," he said.
Asked if similar industrial explorations are being made on the Indian side also, Mehra
said, "it is going on. Lot of industrialists have come...Lot of industries have already
come up. You would have heard of the Mundra Port, Adani Port and a lot of other
chemical companies coming up."
He said the area, characterised by arid environment, marshes and shallow waters is
attracting an increased commercial interest from industrialists and business houses.
"So, exploitation of natural resources on the Indian side has also gone up in a big way.
And apart from this, as we know with 'Make In India' policy of central government and
the Vibrant Gujarat meet held recently... Subsequently we have received a lot of requests
for No Objection Certificates (NOCs)...So a lot of economic activity is going to be
happening in this area," Mehra said.
He said the Rann area could be potentially exploited for renewable energy sources
through wind and solar power projects.
"This is an enormously untapped area. There is a lot of scope for exploiting solar
power as well as wind power. A lot of companies have expressed interest," he said.
Talking about BSF's role in the extensive region, he said, "We come in the picture with
a specific task of border guarding. But, wherever and whatever capacity we are asked,
we are trying to be facilitators."

Amendment in Article 370 is only solution to NABARD organises training for SHGs
strengthen State-Centre relationship: Bhim
NL Correspondent
Jaipur | Mar. | 15
Prof. Bhim Singh Chief Patron
JKNPP while addressing a historic
enclave in Jaipur,Rajasthan organized
by Rajasthan Patrika Group of
Publications warned the power hungry
politicians, political parties and so
called intellectuals to stop misleading
the nation on the real face of article
370.He wondered that leading jurists
namely M/s Ram Jethmalani, Kuldeep
Nayar,Justice Sachar and others have
been arguing through to protect the
article 370 calling it as a bridge between
the centre and the state.Prof.Singh
questioned all such intellectuals
whether Parliament of India has any
power to amend any article or provision
in the constitution of India? Whether
article 368 empowers the Parliament to
amend any provision in the State
constitution? He cited that the role of
Janta Government in the centre led by
Morarji Desai removed a strong
provision ie Right to Property from the
chapter of Fundamental rights by
amending article 31 and the Supreme
Court of India held Golak Nath case
that the Parliament has every authority
to amend any part of the constitution.
He reminded the blind supporters of
article 370 that it is the only a
temporary provision in the constitution
of India.
Prof. Bhim Singh reminded that
article 370 was inserted in the
constitution in 1950 only to control the
ruler of Jammu & Kashmir, Maharaja
Hari Singh. He said Maharaja continued
to be a Monarch till August 1952.After
the end of Monarchy article 370 became
infructuous and redundant.Article 370
is a mother of all discrimination,
anarchy ,chaos and terrorism in the
state.Prof. Singh apprised the country
and the politicians that presently India
is having only 27000 sq. miles of J&K
territory when Maharaja had acceded all
84000 sq. miles of entire State's
territory in 1947.The country's
leadership is responsible for the loss of
57000 sq. miles to Pakistan and
China.Prof. Singh said that there are
two aspects of the J&K problem.One is
external and needs to be settled with
Pakistan and China with full dignity and
honour of the entire nation.Secondly,the
internal aspect refers to the regional
disparity,conflict
and
political
discrimination which have arisen
because of the draconian temporary
provision in the article 370.To the
august gathering,he suggested on behalf
the people of Jammu & Kashmir that
the solution lies in the 'Reorganization'
of the state by carving Jammu Pradesh,
Kashmir Valley state and Ladakh-

minimize domestic violence. He
said that though the Act is
comprehensive, yet the

Prof. Bhim Singh wanted to know the
reason of keeping silent when Pakistan

maintained that the so called 'Azad

semi-urban areas had increased
many fold after nationalization,
even then many of the rural
households are still dependent
on the money lenders, shop

their petty credit needs. The
needs of these rural poor are
small but often arise at
unpredictable times and are
usually of a marginal nature.
Against this background an
alternate mechanism for

BJP holds protest
against Congress
KATHUA, MAR. 15: was Choudhary Lal Singh,
Castigating Congress of giving
hype to the incidence of
shouting at a doctor in the
Psychiatric Department at
Government Medical College,
the activists of BJP staged
protest at Mahanpur, on
Sunday. The protesters in the
leadership of BJP Vice
President Suriender Gupta
raising slogans against
Congress and Doctor's
Association of Jammu burnt
the effigy of Congress party.
The protesters said that
everyone
knows
that
Choudhary Lal Singh is leader
of poor mass and he always
initiates works in favor the
common-man.
Alleging
Congress party for framing a
conspiracy against Lal Singh
the protesters said that
Congress leaders are spreading
rumors that Lal Singh is
infamous for misbehaving with
doctors and medicos since he
took over as the Minister for
Health and Medical Education
for the first time in 2002.
Moreover, this time also
sooner he became Health
Minister he started harassing
Doctor's fraternity.Suriender
Gupta said that everyone
knows that poor people do not
get better treatment in the
government hospitals due to
the easygoing attitude of
Hospital managements. This
who made special efforts
during his first tenure made the
poor people feel that
government hospitals are for
them and they could a better
treatment. Previously the
patients find it hard to
recognize between medical
staff and common people. He
carried out strict orders for
medical staff to wear aprons
with their nameplates. Not
only this, Lal Singh made a
soothing and outstanding
improvement in hospitals by
providing adequate staff,
medicines and improving
overall management. "Dr
Gurmeet Kaur, the Registrar of
the Department of Psychiatry,
Government Medical College,
Jammu, who is blaming Lal
Singh of misbehaving with her
should make her prove that she
was and Lal Singh was
wrong", He added. Advocating
Lal Singh's favor Suriender
Gupta said, "Choudhary Lal
Singh has asked her of her
apron, what wrong he had said.
It is not Lal Singh who is
anarchist but it is the medical
staff who misbehaves with the
patients and act like
revolutionaries". This is
neither
insulting
nor
demeaning; if the doctors does
not behave properly and do not
obey the rules, they will have
to pay for.

Towards a new India
P
RIME Minister Modi has often mentioned that
India enjoys the 3D advantage of democracy,
demography and demand. Translating the
demographic advantage into a real growth relates to
empowerment of our people through employment.
Budget 2015-16 provides a good chance to boost these two
critical livelihood instruments.
According to the economic survey, almost 60 million jobs
were created in 1999-2000 to 2004-2005. This then slowed to
1.1 million in the period up to 2009-2010, but touched 13.9
million in the two years afterwards. As per various estimates,
about 10-12 million new jobs would have to be generated each
year for the next 10-20 years in order to employ new workers.
This appears to be a huge challenge but is doable provided
right policies are put in place to encourage firms to employ
more workers. At the same time, it is critical to build capacities
through education, skill development and healthcare so that
everyone is empowered.
The government has already made a good beginning in
prioritising ease of doing business indicators and addressing
bottlenecks. Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum and
industrial licensing systems are online 24x7, while labour
inspections and self-certifications have been eased for medium
and small enterprises. Legislation on land acquisition, mining,
arbitration and other areas has been fast-tracked. The finance
minister has also reiterated his intention of providing a friendly
tax regime.
The Budget can take this forward in several areas such as
financing and tax administration. Financing aspects would
require attention to further strengthening the corporate bond
market to make it more efficient. More retail investors can
enter the market if capital gains tax on debt investment was on
par with tax on equity instruments. Indian companies should
also be allowed to issue rupee-linked bonds overseas.
The Budget needs to address tax dispute mechanisms,
retrospective taxation and deferment of General AntiAvoidance Rule (GAAR) for two more years. The “Make in
India” campaign is an excellent initiative to create jobs in the
manufacturing sector, which currently contributes about 18
per cent to the GDP. Initiatives to set up national investment
and manufacturing zones and industrial corridors should be
speeded up with clear timelines so that they can emerge as
engines of growth.
Specific measures that could promote investments include
extension of investment allowance to the infrastructure sector,
cold storage operations, generation and transmission of power,
and so on. In particular, SEZs should be exempted from
minimum alternate tax and dividend tax. The micro, small
and medium enterprise (MSME) sector can be encouraged
by revisiting the definitions for micro, small and medium
enterprises which were laid out in 2006.
Since then, inflation and rupee appreciation have raised the
cost of plant and machinery, thereby limiting the scope of
MSME benefits. Apart from the definition, MSMEs face issues
in public procurement policies and despite the mandated
proportions to be sourced from MSME, more PSUs must buy
their requirements from the MSME sector. Delayed payments
are a big challenge for MSME and needs to be resolved.
MSMEs should also enjoy easy access to finance. Cost of finance
must be maintained at the same rate as for large enterprises.
Dedicated SME equity funds with tax breaks can be made
available to finance their growth. The Budget should consider
a separate tax slab for registered SME in the manufacturing
sector. MSME also need a Central climate-friendly technology
fund to enable them to access such technologies.
While these steps would encourage entrepreneurship, there
is need to focus on skill development as well. The newlyestablished ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship
is a big positive for the skill mission, and we hope that
strong measures would be taken to address the issue. The
amendments in the Apprentices Act were welcome and would
encourage the practice of apprenticeship. On its part, industry
has been collaborating in Sector Skills Council that develops
curriculum and assessments for specific sectors. These efforts
would be boosted by exemption from service tax to institutions
providing such services.
However, innovative means are the need of the hour to
develop an extensive, strong and functioning institutional
infrastructure for skill development. The government would
need to consider skill training in schools as well as largescale centres through a mix of financing options, earmarking
funds under projects such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Gurantee Act, and industry interventions.
At a time when an aspirational India is on the rise, all
stakeholders including government, industry and civil society
need to come together to drive the forces of growth. Budget
2015-16 would be much anticipated in order to strengthen and
fast track this process.

Massive response to army
recruitment rally in Kashmir
Mufti should not miss the woods for the trees
Ranjan Chauhan
W
HILE the
national
media,
especially
the
electronic
segment,
was going overboard in
squeezing as much of
sensationalism as possible
from release of a Kashmiri
separatist, Masarat Alam,
from prison, a separate event
of far greater significance
went relatively uncovered.
On March, 11, a few days
after the release of Masarat
Alam, the Indian army
advertised for 55 vacancies
in the Jammu and Kashmir
Light Infantry Territorial
Army (Home and Hearth)
[TA (H&H)]. The selection
was for candidates from
Ganderbal,
Budgam,
Pulwama and Srinagar
only. In an unprecedented
development about 20,000
youth from across the
Kashmir valley came for the
selection.
This is not the first time
that a massive response
has been witnessed in a
recruitment rally by the
Army. Such a response
goes back to 2007 when
more than 3000 candidates
converged for recruitment
at Rangreth in Srinagar on
May, 25, 2007. Later in 2009,
yet another recruitment
drive in Rangreth witnessed
a gathering of more than
8000 candidates. Less than
a year back, in August 2014,
4000 candidates reported for
an Army recruitment rally
in remote Tangdhar, near
the line of control. There are
many more similar examples
from across the state.
Similar huge responses have
been seen in recruitment
rallies of the Police and the
paramilitary services as well.
While commenting on
this phenomenon, General
officer Commanding of the
Chinar Corps, Lt General
Saha said, “Last year, from
July to December, 767
Kashmiri youth enrolled in
the Army. We understand
that Kashmiri youth are
coming for recruitment in
large numbers.”
Overwhelmed by the
response over the years,
the Army has increased
the intake in service from
Kashmir and has also
increased the number of
rallies being held. To meet
the burgeoning demand the
Indian army has raised about
seven TA (H&H) battalions
comprising exclusively of
youth from the state. These
battalions comprise of
troops enrolled from the
area where they operate.
Minimum education level is
eight standard and age limit
is 25 years and below. Exservicemen, Ex-STF/SPO
and surrendered militants
are also enrolled in these
battalions.
Recruitment
for TA (H&H) has been
done from terrorist infested
regions also. This provides a
wide range for a large crosssection of people to avail the
opportunity.
The basic task of the units
is to assist security forces
in the conduct of counterterrorist operations. The
brave soldiers of TA units
help eliminate terrorism
from their own area. This
apart, they provide valuable
inputs on the civic amenities
that the region requires for
its development. They not
only recommend projects
for the welfare initiatives of
the Indian Army under its
flagship project, Operation
Sadbhavna, but also work
whole heartedly towards
their implementation.
The response, as seen
by the recent rally, is an
indicator of the desire of the
Kashmir youth to opt for
peace and progress. Those
who came for recruitment
included many graduates
and even post graduates.
Those who opt for joining
the service are aware that
their families may be
targeted by the terrorists;
yet, they are prepared to
risk their lives to earn their
livelihood and in the bargain
also serve the country.
The output of TA (H&H)
units has been much beyond
the expectations of the
Army.
The loyalty and
dedication of the TA soldier
is fast becoming a role model
for the youth of the region.
The Army is sensitive to
the aspiration of the youth to
join its rank for which reason
it has started recruitment
training in many places
across the Kashmir valley
and other parts of the
state. Training is being
given not for recruitment
in the ranks but also for
selection in the officer cadre.
Detailed information about
education
qualification,
physical standards and
procedure, medical check
up, location of recruiting
offices in the state and their
duties, facilities and welfare
measures provided in the
Army after enrolment are
explained in these training
capsules.
Preparation
assistance
provided to the prospective
candidates
includes
provision of schedule for
the
exams/employment,
assistance in procuring the
form from the relevant place/
institute, guidance in filling
up the forms and ensuring
their
timely
dispatch.
After the forms have been
dispatched, the intervening
period is utilised for regular
coaching and preparation
for the exams. As part of
the preparatory effort,
the members are made to
undergo mock tests so as to
assess their readiness. Such
training sessions are also
oversubscribed and have
led to a lot of successful
recruitment.
The huge response to an
army recruitment rally in the
same week when Masarat
Alam was released from jail
is an indicator of the actual
priority of the people of the
Kashmir valley. Why could
Masarat Alam not stop the
youth from coming out for
recruitment in such large
numbers? Is it not evident
that the youth are no
longer inclined towards his
disruptive, regressive and
separatist agenda and are
more interested in joining
the national mainstream
with honourable jobs and
livelihood?
Masarat Alam and his ilk
are now insignificant and
their being in or out of jail
a non-event. The focus of
the people is only on peace,
progress and development
for which they voted in large
numbers. It is now up to the
leadership to understand
which side the wind is
blowing.
It is also quite evident
that the Indian army is well
liked and respected in the
valley, otherwise its call for
recruitment would not elicit
such a huge response.
Chief Minister Mufti
Mohammad Sayeed should
read the writing on the wall
and adjust his priorities with
the aspirations of the people
who have elected him at the
earliest. His inability to do so
may well lead to his political
marginalisation. His actions
in the last few weeks are
indicative of being off track
at the moment - he is missing
the woods for the trees. Only
a timely course correction
can save his political career.
AAP same as other political packs
Swapan Dasgupta
H
AVING
thought over
the
matter
carefully,
I have so
far refused. The reason
is not very complicated.
Relationships
with
politicians and other public
figures are built over decades
and are based on absolute
trust. A person in position
of importance or with access
to information will not
speak his/her mind openly
unless there is implicit faith
that confidentiality will
be maintained. The kissand-tell variant of political
coverage (more accurately,
spit-and-run) is, to my
mind, an act of betrayal.
This is not to suggest that
these inside stories should
never come into the public
gaze. They can, but only
after contemporary events
have become history-which
basically means there should
be a generous time lag
between the culling of ‘off
the record’ information and
its dissemination.
What is true for the
media is also applicable to
political activists across the
board. This is the principal
reason why I am a little
uneasy about the sudden
arrival of the AAP tapes
in public domain. These
tapes are, of course, a great
eye-opener for anyone who
actually believed that the
holier-than-thou approach
adopted by AAP leaders also
implied there was no dirty
linen to be washed in public.
But for those who don’t have
an absolutist belief in ends
justifying the means, there is
a need for caution.
Going beyond the gory
details, what message have
the AAP tapes conveyed?
First, it is absolutely clear
that when it comes to innerparty feuding, the AAP’s
culture is not very different
from the rest of the political
pack. There may be an ideal
called ‘alternative politics’
but it clearly does not extend
to fraternal feelings with the
like-minded. It is now clear
that the quest for an AAP
victory in Delhi resonated
far more with the voters
than with those who were
proclaimed the leaders of the
movement.
Second, the belief that
AAP is a movement
that went far beyond the
personal ambitions of its
leaders seems to have been
needlessly hyped. It is now
clear that a considerable
part of the energies of the
top AAP leadership was
devoted to self-promotion
at the cost of someone else.
Whether it is the group
identified with Arvind
Kejriwal or the uber-holy
brigade around Prashant
Bhushan, the knives were
being sharpened almost
immediately after the 2013
Delhi election where AAP
made a spectacular debut.
What other explanation can
there be for phone calls with
journalists being recorded
and then gleefully filed away
for use at an opportune
moment? Takeover battles,
it would seem, were inherent
in the DNA of the AAP.
Ideology and lofty concerns,
while no doubt important in
the selling of the party to the
wider public, were secondary
to the AAP apparatchiks.
Finally, the tapes and the
subsequent washing of dirty
linen before the cameras
clearly show that there is a
natural rhythm to electoral
politics that cannot be broken
by revolutionary poseurs. I,
for example, found nothing
particularly abnormal in the
voice that seems very much
like Kejriwal’s, hoping for a
Congress breakaway to give
him a legislative majority.
Almost every party in such
a predicament would have
been keen on enticing
the small group that held
the balance of power in a
fractured legislature. Nor was
there anything particularly
strange-and
however
ethically repugnant-about
AAP facilitating some dodgy
donations of unknown
provenance. In the heat of
election campaigns, almost
every party does it. And it
happens in nearly all the
democracies.
The problem begins when
AAP is approached as if it
was God’s gift to a morally
and ethically devastated
India. This wasn’t a realistic
approach but it was the
perception of a significant
section of the chattering
classes, not least the wideeyed reporters in the
media who constituted the
unofficial campaigners for
AAP during both the general
election of 2014 and the
Delhi elections earlier this
year. To this was added the
arrogance of a disoriented
intellectual brigade that
needed an alternative home
after the victory of the BJP
and the decimation of the
Congress. Together, they
made the AAP’s battles seem
like a dharam yudh, jehad
and crusade all rolled into
one.
The real disappointment
with AAP isn’t going to be
found in the jhuggi clusters
and minority ghettos. The
poorer section saw AAP
as a new party that they
could identify with after
the Congress shot itself in
the foot. Their expectations
from AAP are different from
the hallucinatory dreams of
the middle class ‘volunteers’
that found excitement in
being
anti-establishment.
For them, the gods now have
feet of clay.
For the moment, it
would appear that AAP
is imploding. I disagree.
Kejriwal has five years to
show his worth and it is
unlikely that his political
fate is going to be affected
by the lamentations of either
Bhushan or Yadav. Yet, the
slugfest of the topi brigade
does serve a useful purpose.
AAP has finally come to
terms with the grim realities
of Indian politics and Indian
character. Amid the tears,
despair and shill accusations,
we are seeing the evolution
of AAP as another left-ofcentre political party with
a regional base-a normal
political party made up of
humans, not gods.

top decision and policy making
body, today adopted a resolution
to that effect.
"A student educated in a

The resolution said while RSS
was "fully supportive" of study of
various languages including
foreign languages, it was its
considered opinion that for natural
learning and to enrich cultural
moorings, education, particularly
elementary educa-tion, should be
in mother tongue or state

Swamy's comment as his

Bird flu alert Mosques not religious place, can be destroyed any time : Swamy
sounded in Amethi
Agencies
New Delhi, Mar 15
Agencies
Amethi, Mar 15
The threat of a bird flu outbreak
looms large on Amethi as birds
have been dying mysteriously in
the district for almost two weeks
now. A team of the district
veterinary department was
dispatched to the village after a
frantic call from a villager who
collected samples from various
villages which were then sent to
Bhopal. The samples tested
positive for bird flu.
However, District Veterinary
Officer, Doctor Vinod Kumar,
refused to come clean on the
findings of the reports.
"We received a call informing
us that birds were dying in a
village after which a team was
rushed to the spot which found
out that birds were actually dying,
said Kumar, while adding "this
matter is somewhat confidential"
when asked about inquiry report.
Kumar added so far only a
limited area search has been
conducted in which two villages
have been found to be infected
and surveys were on to take a
stock of number of birds in each
village. Nine rapid response
teams are currently culling birds
and burying them in order to
contain the spread of avian flu
which can also spread to humans.
These operations are being
conducted over night to minimise
exposure to people. A resident,
Inaamullah, said the villagers got
suspicious when their hens
started dying and animals and
other birds which consumed their
corpses too died.
"15 days back, in the
neighbouring village all hens
died. Crows and dogs, which
consumed the dead birds, also
died. Even today two crows died
and this team of officials has been
conducting checks for the last 15
days," he said. Poultry farms in
the district are also being
surveyed. Reportedly, an alert has
been sounded in the state with
chief secretary Alok Ranjan
issuing an advisory to all
divisional commissioners and
district magistrates to take all
precautions for prevention of the
flu. According to reports, the
government also plans to set up a
24 hours helpline to help resolve
people's queries with regard to
the flu while rapid response
teams will be kept on standby to
ensure speedy culling and
disinfection of affected areas.

BJP leader Subramanian
Swamy has sparked off a massive
controversy by saying that
mosque is not a religious place
but is merely a building that can
be demolished any time.
Swamy
made
these
controversial statements in a
programme at Guwahati.
Swamy's comments have
attracted condemnation from all
political parties. Even Assam BJP
has disassociated themselves
from Swamy's remark.
According to media, Swamy
gave the “example” of mosques
demolished for construction of
roads in Saudi Arabia. The
controversial leader said, “A
mosque is not a religious place. It
is just a building. It can be
demolished any time. If anyone
disagrees with me on this, I am
ready to have a debate on the
issue. I got this information from
people of Saudi Arabia". He
stoked another controversy by
claiming all Indian Muslims were
Hindus. He repeated the
controversial comments again on
Saturday. Police have now
registered a case registered an
FIR under IPC sections 120 (B)
[criminal conspiracy] and 153
(A) [promoting enmity between
different groups on grounds of
religion] against Swamy
following a formal complaint by
Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti
(KMSS).
KMSS has urged Chief
Minister Tarun Gogoi to ban
sation and Transparency in Land
Acquisition, Rehabilitation and
Resettlement Act, 2013 Act,
which are against the interest of
farmers. The government has
brought a bill to replace the
Ordinance, which is being
opposed by almost all opposition
parties on the ground it issimilar
to the one passed by the British
regime, Yadav added.
"In view of the above, it has been
decided that opposition parties
which include Congress,
Samajwadi, TMC, CPI, CPI(M),
JD(U), RJD and JD(S) will
assemble to protest against the
above mentioned Bill on March
17 at 5.00 PM at Gandhi Statue in
the Parliament House Complex,
and thereafter will march towards
the President House to meet the
President," he said. These parties
would also submit a representation to the President on the
issue. The Lok Sabha had passed
the contoversial bill with a total
of nine amendments last week.

Government cuts import
tariff on gold, silver
JAMMU | MONDAY | MARCH 16 | 2015
NEW DELHI, MAR 15:
The government has slashed
import tariff value on gold to
USD 375 per 10 grams and
silver to USD 512 per kg
following weak global price
trends.
During the first fortnight of
the month, the tariff value on
imported gold was fixed at
USD 393 per 10 grams and on
silver at USD 549 per kg.
The import tariff value is the
base price at which customs
duty is determined to prevent
under-invoicing. It is revised
on a fortnightly basis taking
into account global prices.
The decrease in tariff value
on imported gold has been
notified by the Central Board
of Excise and Customs,
according to an official
statement released late Friday
night.
Gold in New York, which
normally sets price trend on the
domestic front, declined from a
high of USD 1,162 per ounce
and is currently ruling at USD
1,158.60 per ounce.
Silver too has dropped to
USD 15.64 per ounce.
In February, gold imports
had jumped by 49 percent to
USD 1.98 billion as compared
to the year-ago period, while
silver shipments contracted by
60.47 percent to USD 121.42
million in the same period.
Gold is the second-largest
import item for India after
petroleum. Higher gold import
bill adversely affects the
country's current account
deficit (CAD).
The government has been
repeatedly asking people to
desist from buying gold and
instead invest in other saving
instruments.

India needs to build own leather brands: Industry official
KOLKATA, MAR 15 :
Notwithstanding
Indian
finished leather exports
surging by over ten percent
during
April-November
2014, an industry official
says the domestic makers
need to build their own
brands rather than selling
finished leather abroad or
going for contractual
manufacturing.
Personally,
I
wish
contractual manufacturing
decreases and Indian
companies come up with
their own brands rather than
produce the goods for a third
party", Adhar Sahani,
chairman of trade show
committee of Indian Leather
Products Association said.
The leather exports
industry overall grew by
18.5 per cent at Rs. 26,940
crore
during
AprilNovember 2014 against the
previous year's performance
of Rs. 22,729 crore.
According to the veteran
leather industry official, the
Europe-bound
export
scenario is not conducive as
the Euro is falling against
the Rupee leading to
decreased margins.
The trade embargo on
Russia is also hitting the
supply."Russia is a brandconscious market and
prefers European brands.
Now, with the embargo on
Russia in place, the demand
for finished leather (from
India) is falling, Sahani said.
Asked if Indians can
directly export to brandconscious Russia, he said
"India first needs to build its
world-class export brands to
take on the established
global players".
Indians are becoming
brand-conscious now a days.
Companies are focusing on
offering the best quality to
meet global standards which
is "encouraging" for the
leather industry, he added.
Sahani affirmed Indian
leather goods makers need to
build their "own brands"
now as Indian leather holds a
coveted place in the
international
market.
However, he cited finance
would be the biggest
challenge for the industry.
"What the industry needs
are angel investors willing
to put money in ventures
aiming to become global
brands", he added. When
asked about the possibility
of the recent beef ban in

The Budget proposed 100

Ton-up Sarfraz Ahmed steers Pakistan Bowlers shine as West Indies
to World Cup quarter-finals, Ireland out beat UAE by six wickets
Agencies
Adelaide | Mar. | 15
Sarfraz Ahmed struck his
maiden ODI hundred as
Pakistan advanced to the cricket
World Cup quarterfinals,
knocking Ireland out with a
seven-wicket triumph over the
European giant-slayers in their
final pool B match here on
Sunday.
Set a target of 238 by the
Irish, Pakistan never looked in
trouble and romped home with
3.5 overs to spare, putting up a
rare clinical show in what has
otherwise been a topsy-turvy
campaign for them in the
marquee event.
Sarfraz became the first

on March 20 here after finishing
third in their group with four
wins out of six matches.
It was a thoroughly polished
performance by a more-oftenthan-not mercurial team with
Sarfraz proving his worth yet
again. The 27-year-old
wicketkeeper-batsman shone
bright with 124-ball knock,
which was studded with six
fours.
Opener Ahmed Shehzad was
another notable contributor to
the team's cause with a 71-ball
63, which included seven hits to
the fence.
Man-of-the-match Sarfraz
and Shehzad put together 120
runs for the opening wicket,
laying the solid foundation for a
smooth chase.
For the bitterly disappointed
Irish, who impressed one and all
with lion-hearted performances
all through, Alex Cusack was
the most successful bowler with
figures of 1/43 from his 10
overs.
Earlier, Irish captain William
Porterfield made a composed
century before Pakistan seamers
staged a fightback to bowl out
Ireland for 237 in the must-win
game.
The 30-year-old opening
batsman Porterfield made 107,
but the Pakistanis came back to
snare five wickets conceding
only 49 runs in the last 10 overs.
Wahab Riaz was the most
successful bowler for Pakistan,
returning figures of 3/54, while
there were two wickets apiece
for Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali.

and Niall O'Brien failed to throwing away their wickets at
regular intervals.
That he had only two stands
of 48 runs each, with Andy
Balbirnie (18) and Gary
Wilson (29) for the fourth and
fifth wicket respectively,
indicate that Porterfield badly
lacked support from the other
end.
Having won three out of
their last five matches in the
ongoing tournament, Ireland
came into this final game with
high hopes of making a
maiden
quarterfinal
appearance in the quadrennial
extravaganza.
Porterfield showed the right
intent, mixing caution with
aggression en route to his
seventh ODI hundred, but the
others left a lot to be desired.
He found the fence 11 times
and cleared it once during his
131-ball knock.
The Irish captain, though,
was lucky to have survived a
scare when he was batting on
99, as Rahat Ali failed to hold
onto a catch off his own
bowling. Porterfield played an
uppish drive but the ball burst
through Rahat's hands,
allowing the batsman to come
back for two runs and reach
the three-figure mark. For the
record, there was another
return catch dropped later in
the innings, by Riaz when he
was up against John Mooney.

Skipper Jason Holder led from the front with a
four-wicket haul as West Indies defeated UAE by
six wickets in their crucial final round-robin Pool
B match to keep their hopes alive in the ICC
cricket World Cup, here on Sunday.
Opting to field after winning the toss, Holder
(4/27) got useful support from fellow fast
medium bowler Jerome Taylor, who returned
figures of 3/36, to help West Indies bundle out
their opponents for a paltry 175 in 47.4 overs at
the McLean Park.
Lower-order batsmen Nasir Aziz (60) and
Amjad Javed (56) emerged as the main
contributors for the side batting first after the top
and middle-order failed miserably.
In reply, the West Indies chased down the
target in 30.3 overs.
West Indies, who now have three victories and
as many defeats from six games, needed to win
this match to stay alive in the competition. Their
prospects also hinges on the outcome of the day's
another contest between Pakistan and Ireland. It
is likely to boil down to net run rate to decide the
third and fourth places from the group.
UAE are already out of the tournament, having
lost all their six matches. After being bowled out
so cheaply, it was always going to be a difficult
task for the UAE bowlers, even in the absence of
the big-hitting opener Chris Gayle in the
opposition line-up.
Johnson Charles made a brisk 55 off 40 balls
with the help of nine fours and two sixes, getting
the chase off to a quick start. West Indies, though,
lost Dwayne Smith and Marlon Samuels cheaply.
After Charles' dismissal, Jonathan Carter (50
not out) guided the team home in the company of
Denesh Ramdin, who contributed an unbeaten 33
off 50 balls with the help of two fours.
During his 58-ball knock, Carter found the
fence five times.
Earlier, Holder led the way with his inspired
bowling and Taylor was also impressive. UAE
would have been out for much less then what
they eventually managed, had it not been for the
seventh-wicket century partnership between Aziz
and Javed.
Reeling at 26 for five, the duo got together
when UAE lost their sixth wicket in the form of
Swapnil Patil, making it 46 for six in the 14th
over. Mixing caution with aggression, the two
added 107 runs for the seventh wicket to not only
steady the ship but also give their innings a
semblance of respectability.
For the West Indies, their bowlers needed to
bowl out the opposition to as low a total as
possible, and they did just that. Their dominance
was evident from the fact that none of the UAE
batsmen, barring Aziz and Javed, could get going
after being invited to bat.
Mohammad Naveed (14) was the only other
player to get to double digit, as the top-order
batting put up a pathetic show in the face of some
disciplined bowling form the West Indies pacers.
Andre Russell picked up 2/20, while there was
one wicket for Marlon Sameuls, who bowled
economically to concede 25 runs from his 10
overs.

Washington | Mar. | 15
Saturn's icy moon Enceladus exhibits signs of
life-supporting hydrothermal activity which may
resemble that seen in the deep oceans on Earth,
scientists say. Hydrothermal activity occurs when
seawater infiltrates and reacts with a rocky crust
and emerges as a heated, mineral-laden solution,
a natural occurrence in Earth's oceans.
"These findings add to the possibility that
Enceladus, which contains a subsurface ocean
and displays remarkable geologic activity, could
contain environments suitable for living
organisms," said John Grunsfeld, astronaut and
associate administrator of NASA's Science
Mission Directorate in Washington.
A research paper, published in the journal
Nature, describes microscopic grains of rock
detected by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in the
Saturn system.
An extensive, four-year analysis of data from
the spacecraft, computer simulations and
laboratory experiments led researchers to the
conclusion the tiny grains most likely form when
hot water containing dissolved minerals from the
moon's rocky interior travels upward, coming
into contact with cooler water.
"It's very exciting that we can use these tiny
grains of rock, spewed into space by geysers, to
tell us about conditions on - and beneath - the
ocean floor of an icy moon," said the paper's lead
author Sean Hsu, a postdoctoral researcher at the
University of Colorado at Boulder.
