Govt to form teams to identify
source of Ganga pollution
NEW DELHI, Nov 2
Expediting Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s pet project of
cleansing the Ganga, the Centre
will constitute 25 special teams
to check the source of pollution
of the holy river so that further
action could be taken
accordingly.
The teams to be drawn
from different wings of the
Ministry of Water Resources
would inspect various drains
of the river during winters as
there is no flow from the glaciers then, which will give
ample scope to them to locate
the source of discharge released by industries and other
polluting factors.
The exercise, which is
expected to be completed before the commencement of
summer, would be subsequently carried out in all the
Ganga-flowing
states,
sources said.
“For instance, the teams
would be inspecting five or
six drains (nullahs) at Kanpur
to prepare the data. This
would help us draw plans on
the requirement of treatment
plants,” an official said.
Moreover, it would also
help in quantifying the volume of effluents discharged
by the industries for initiating
appropriate action in the future.
“Initially, we thought about
employing consultancies for
the purpose. But we then
decided to carry it out on our
own as we will have firsthand information about
pollution,” the official noted.
The exercise is being done
in winter since effluents get
mixed up in the river’s natural flow in summer along
with the water from melting
glaciers, thus reducing the
chances of identifying the
source of pollution.
The Ganga originates as
Bhagirathi from the Gangotri
glacier in the Himalayas at an
elevation of about 7,010-m in
Uttarkashi
district
in
Uttarakhand and flows for a
total length of about 2,525km before its outfall into the
Bay of Bengal through the
former main course of
Bhagirathi-Hooghly.
Over the years, the Ganga
and its tributaries have become the channels of
transport for industrial effluents and drains for the
wastewater of cities.
The problem has arisen
largely due to the discharge
of untreated urban waste and
industrial effluents from the
large and medium cities located along the course of the
Ganga and its tributaries.

Manohar Lal Khattar on

"Law will take its own

by reporters to comment on

Robert Vadra must realize India is no more a 'banana republic': BJP
NEW DELHI, Nov 2
Launching a scathing attack
on Robert Vadra for angrily
pushing away the mic of a
reporter when asked about
his land deals in Haryana, the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
on Sunday said it reflected
sheer frustration on the part
of Congress president Sonia
Gandhi's son-in-law.
BJP spokesperson
Sambit Patra said Vadra
must realize that India is
no more a 'banana republic'
which was ruled by the
first family of Congress.
"It was a sheer frustration of Mr. Vadra which
became manifest as an
inappropriate behaviour on
a journalist. Mr. Vadra was
the one who had called
India as a 'banana republic'
and we Indians as 'mango
people'. But it is time that
we make Mr. Vadra realize
that India is no more a
banana republic which was

SRINAGAR, Nov 2
In a bid to expand its influence
in the valley, BJP general
secretary Ram Madhav has had
a series of meetings with
several Kashmir politicians,
including some separatist
politicos who are believed to be
fed up with separatist politics.
It is learned that Ram
Madhav met Sajjad Lone,
who heads a faction of his
slain father's Abdul Ghani
Lone's party, People's Conference, this week.
BJP and Kashmir politicians are tight-lipped about
the meeting.
BJP is targeting the "Mission 44-plus seats" in Jammu
& Kashmir in the assembly
elections for which it is trying to bring together several
smaller parties. The party is
also trying to get several independent MLAs in the
present assembly on its side.
ruled by the first family of
Congress," Patra told ANI
here.
BJP leader Shahnawaz
Hussain echoing similar
sentiments said the
Congress must apologize
for Vadra's behavior.
Bharatiya Janata Party
leader Subramanian Swamy
said that Vadra should
realize that his mother-inlaw is no longer in power.
"He needs to realize that
his mother-in-law is not in
power any more. He is a
thug, he doesn't need
protection, and society
needs to be protected from
him. There is no law that
says that the press will ask
questions according to his
liking. In fact, his SPG
should also be withdrawn,"
said Swamy.
Nationalist Congress
Party (NCP) spokesperson
Nawab Malik condemned
the act as well, and said
this kind of behavior with
a reporter is not acceptable.
"Behaving like this with
a reporter is not acceptable.
I condemn this incident.
The press plays a major
role in a democracy, and
he should apologize for his
behavior. Many people are
accused everyday, but these
types of incidents should
not take place. He should
have just said no comments," said Malik.
Senior journalist and
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
leader Ashutosh said that
no clarification can justify
Vadra's misbehavior.
"Allegations do not
mean you push the mic
away, press should be
allowed to ask questions.
Clarification doesn't justify
misbehavior," Ashutosh
said.
BJP leader Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi said the
incident was in bad taste,
and added that such things
were not in his (Vadra's),
his party's or his family's
favour.
Communist Party of
India (CPI) leader D. Raja
said, "I condemn this
behavior, we should not
behave like this when in
public life."
Meanwhile, security
outside Robert Vadra's
residence has been increased. The police has
also set up barricades
outside his residence.
On Saturday, Vadra lost
his temper and pushed an
ANI reporter's away, when
asked a question about his
land deals in Haryana.
"Are you serious? Are
you serious? Are you nuts?
What is wrong with you,"
Vadra kept asking repeatedly.
Vadra and his security
guards also threatened the
reporter and asked him to
turn off his camera at a
private event held at the
Ashoka Hotel.

Clean India drive will benefit
poor people : Modi
NEW DELHI, Nov 2: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday
said proper implementation of the Clean India campaign will
benefit poor people.
"The special emphasis on the Clean India Campaign will
benefit the poor. As it is poor people and not the rich ones
who get affected due to the dirty surroundings," Modi said in
his second radio address to the nation titled "Man Ki Baat".
"I am seeing the greatest impact on children too. Parents
are now saying that kids are picking up chocolate wrappers."
Modi made his first "Man Ki Baat" radio address to the
nation October 3.
reporters after his minister,
Bikram Singh Yadav, assumed charge at the Haryana
civil secretariat here.
When asked to comment
on Vadra reportedly losing
his cool and pushing the microphone of a reporter in
Delhi when questioned about
land deals involving his company, Haryana's health
minister Anil Vij told reporters in Ambala that "one only
reacts in such a manner and
shows anger when one has
something to hide".
Vij said that the media was
just doing its job as it is its
responsibility to ask questions and dig out facts.
He said the way Vadra
reportedly behaved showed
that he has "little respect for
the media".
BJP had alleged irregularities in the land deals
involving Vadra and had
raked up the issue during
campaign in the 2014 Lok
Sabha and before last month's
assembly polls to attack Congress.
Replying to questions,
Khattar said that the BJP
government will strive to give
a clean and transparent administration to the people,
besides curbing corruption
with "an iron hand".
BJP stormed to power in
Haryana for the first time in
the history of the state after

Jindal plant land diversion: CBI
likely to quiz Jayanthi
NEW DELHI, Nov 2: CBI is likely to convert into FIRs the preliminary enquiries against Jindal Steel and Power Ltd and JSW
Steel for alleged diversion of forest land for their plant in violation
of norms and may also examine former environment minister
Jayanthi Natarajan.
CBI sources said the agency may also include in the FIRs
several senior environment ministry officials who were part of
the clearance process.
They said the agency may also call Ms. Natarajan for
questioning after registering the FIRs in these cases.
The sources said there were alleged irregularities in the
allocation process as the environment ministry changed its
position a number of times before the land was cleared in
2013.
The inquiry has been initiated against unknown officials of
JSPL and environment ministry for alleged irregularities in the
diversion of Saranda forest land in Jharkhand between 2007
and 13, they said.
Records with the state government and the Centre are being
examined by CBI, the sources said.
They said that 512.43 hectares of ecologically-sensitive
Saranda forest land in West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand
were diverted for the Ghatkuri Iron Ore mining lease project
in favour of JSPL.
The diversion of the land was questioned by several environment activists as well as the MB Shah Commission.
The sources said that diversion of the land is in alleged
violation of the laid-down norms.
The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC), which comes under
environment ministry, allegedly ignored the fact that there was
no wildlife management plan for the forest.
COIMBATORE, Nov 2
A day after dropping hints of
breaking away from Congress
and reviving the erstwhile
Tamil Maanila Congress,
former Union Shipping
Minister G K Vasan today said
the final decision on the future
course of action tomorrow
would reflect aspirations of
leaders and workers. ”The
decision on the future course of
action to be announced
tomorrow afternoon in
Chennai will definitely reflect
the suggestions and aspirations
of workers of various districts
of Tamil Nadu,” he told reporters at the airport.
Vasan said he had already
elicited the opinions and suggestions from grassroot level
workers, cadre and senior
party leaders on the matter.
When pressed about revival of TMC and opinions
of the workers, he said almost all of them were
unanimous in stating the need

”They wanted me to tread
a new path, successful path
and follow the footsteps of
great leaders like Kamaraj and
Moopanar, as most party
leaders had imbibed values
from them,” Vasan, who was
on his way to nearby
Avanashi, said.
“I do not want to say anything half baked now,” was
his reply to persistent questions on revival of TMC and
how he proposed to function
under new TNCC President
E V K S Elangovan. To another question on the reported
invite from union minister
Pon Radhakrishnan to join
BJP, he quipped “It is totally
wrong information.” Vasan
had stated yesterday in
Chennai that in Tamil Nadu,
the movement (Congress)
could be strengthened only by
invoking the legacy of
Kamaraj and Moopanar.
He had said AICC’s deeds
in the past several years had
been against the cadres’
mood, be it party affairs or
on key issues concerning
people of Tamil Nadu.
Though this was communicated to them, their
response was not in tune with
strengthening the party, he
had said. Vasan had also said
that the AICC had ‘ignored’
the Tamil Nadu Congress
Committee, especially after
the Lok Sabha debacle, resulting in the party apparatus

there is need to involve principals, teachers and students
in the educational policy,” she
said.
Irani was speaking at a
valedictory function of the
21st Annual Sahodaya conference of CBSE at nearby
Nedumbassery.
Addressing principals and
teachers from CBSE schools
across the country and
abroad, she said, “The future
of the country lies in your
hands. I say this not only as
HRD minister, but as also a

Pointing out that India is
going through an evolution,
she said the nation’s destiny
has for too long been vested
on those who did politics and
now there was a chance to
transform India for the better.
“I stand here as witness of
the desire of people to seek
transformation and this cannot

at the grassroots and teachers
should be a vehicle to bring
about the change,” she said.
The minister, who also
rolled out ‘Saransh’, a tool
for comprehensive self-review in schools, said it was a
big step.
It should not be used as a
‘pressure tactic’, but as an
enabler, especially for children with learning challenges,
she added.
