which is defined as the
estimated time period
builders likely to take to

SDMCpropertytaxcollectionat
anall-timehighofover`1,000cr
New Delhi (PTI): The
South Delhi Municipal
Corporation (SDMC)’s
property tax collection
hit an all-time high as
it collected Rs 1,075
crore during the finan-
cial year 2021-22, said
an official.
Joint assessor and
collector Radha Kris-
han, who heads the
property tax depart-
ment, said that it was
possible as the corpo-
ration collected the
tax from the 4.60 lakh
properties under its
jurisdiction.
Krishan said it was
made possible as the
department, through
constant survey,
brought more proper-
ties under the tax net
resulting in an in-
creased amount col-
lected. The depart-
ment conducted an in-
spection of commer-
cial properties to eval-
uate the exact amount
of tax and served no-
tices to big defaulters
for the payment of out-
standing dues of prop-
erty tax, he added.
The department
also pursued the mat-
ter of outstanding
dues of government
properties and build-
ings and followed them
with the officials con-
cerned to get the due
amount.
The SDMC had col-
lected 823.61 crore
against the target of
Rs 1,100 crore in the
financial year 2019-20.
Subsequently, it had
collected Rs 943.14
crore in the financial
year 2020-21. SDMC
c o m m i s s i o n e r
Gyanesh Bharti said
that to increase the
number of taxpayers
and to ensure payment
of outstanding dues,
the property tax de-
partment along with
local RWAs organised
camps in all four
zones.
“Through these
camps, people were
motivated to pay their
property tax on time
and avail benefits of
the amnesty scheme
(if applicable).
Through the camp,
taxpayers were facili-
tated so they could file
PTR without any has-
sle,” said Bharti.

First India Bureau
New Delhi: For the last
eight years, there has
been a major discussion
in India that all the elec-
tions in the country
should be held simulta-
neously
. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and his
party leaders have reit-
erated this point hun-
dreds of times, but in
reality no effort has
beenmadetoimplement
this idea. The example
of this is the assembly
elections of Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat.
Both elections are held
at an interval of one
month. The Election
Commissionalsodidnot
conduct the elections of
these two states simulta-
neously
. Similarly
, elec-
tions in Haryana, Maha-
rashtra and Jharkhand
are also held at an inter-
val of one month each.
Therefore, the ques-
tion is whether this time
the elections of
Himachal Pradesh and
Gujarat will be held to-
gether? Last time i.e. in
2017, all 68 seats of

HYDERABAD PUB RAID: ACTOR,
SINGER AMONG 144 DETAINED
Banjara Hills SHO suspended; singer detained was part of ‘drug-free Hyd’ drive
Hyderabad (Agen-
cies): Tollywood actor
Naga Babu’s daughter
and actor Niharika Ko-
nidela and singer Ra-
hul Sipligunj were
among 144 people de-
tained by police for par-
tying at a pub in Hy-
derabad beyond the
stipulated hours.
The pub at Radisson
Blu Hotel in posh Ban-
jara Hills was raided
around 3 am by Task
Force personnel of Hy-
derabad City Police,
who also found cocaine
and other banned sub-
stances from the prem-
ises.
Those found party-
ing also include daugh-
ter of a former Direc-
tor General of Andhra
Pradesh Police and a
son of a MP belonging
to TDP and children of
some other VIPs.
As the police found
some packets of co-
caine and after the
place was raided, some
of those partying threw
away the packets, po-
lice whisked away
those present in the
pub to the nearby Ban-
jara Hills police station
and questioned them.
Ironically, singer
and winner of Big Boss
Telugu reality show
Rahul Sipligunj, who
was among those de-
tained, was part of
“drug-free Hyderabad”
campaign launched by
the police. He sang a
song as part of the
campaign.
Those detained in-
clude 33 women and
some staff members of
the pub, which was
found violating the
rules by allowing the
party beyond permit-
ted hours.
Taking a serious
note of these viola-
tions and the police sta-
tion concerned failing
to act, Hyderabad Po-
lice Commissioner CV
Anand suspended SHO
of Banjara Hills Police
Station and issued a
charge memo to Assis-
tant Commissioner of
Police, Banjara Hills,
M Sudarshan.
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): The Delimita-
tion Commission will
visit Srinagar and
Jammu on April 4 and
5 to hear members of
the public and civil so-
ciety groups who have
submitted sugges-
tions and objections
on its draft delimita-
tion proposal for the
Union territory
.
Around 300 repre-
sentations were re-
ceived by the panel
between March 14,
when it placed its de-
limitation proposal in
the public domain,
and March 21, the last
date for people to sub-
mit objections and
suggestions.
The public hear-
ings will give a chance
to the people and
groups that have filed
objections and sug-
gestions on the pro-
posed reconfiguration
of assembly and par-
liamentary constitu-
encies in JK, to pre-
sent their arguments
before the delimita-
tion panel.
Sources said most
of the representa-
tions received by the
delimitation commis-
sion are from Jammu
(around 60), Anant-
nag (40) and Kupwara
(40). The ones from
Anantnag mostly re-
late to objections re-
garding the proposal
to redraw the Anant-
nag parliamentary
constituency to in-
clude areas from both
Jammu and Kashmir
region and rechris-
ten it as Anantnag-
Rajouri.
Not a single repre-
sentation has been
received from the two
districts of Pulwama
and Shopian, sources
told media.

Played ‘Hanuman Chalisa’, MNS leader held
Mumbai (Agencies):
A Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena
(MNS) leader was tak-
en into police custody
for allegedly playing
‘Hanuman Chalisa’ on
loudspeakers without
permission at the par-
ty office in Mumbai’s
Ghatkopar on Sunday.
“They’ve taken
away my amplifier.
But I’d like to say, in
the coming times, ‘Jai
Shree Ram’ will be
played on loudspeak-
ers,” said Mahendra
Bhanushali while ad-
dressing the media.
Addressing the party
workers on Saturday,
Thackeray had asked
the state government to
remove the loudspeak-
ers from mosques and
warned of putting loud-
speakers in front of the
mosques and playing
‘Hanuman Chalisa’.
Ministry of Home Af-
fairs (MHA) has written
to states with sizable
numbers of tribal popu-
lation, to set up a sepa-
rate training module to
handle crimes in tribal
areas, sources in the
government said.
The states have been
asked to set up special-
ised training centres
and at-least six to eight
week training must be
given to the cops before
posting them in police
stations in tribal areas.
The police officials
who have been posted
long in these areas
should share their expe-
riences in the training
centres about the ap-
proaches to handle
crimes in tribal areas
and training manual of
the States may also be
amended so that the po-
lice officers are made
aware of local tradi-
tions, the officials said.

Sharat K Verma
Lucknow: There is no
doubt that the cam-
paign of Modi-Yogi has
been ‘aired’ more in Ut-
tar Pradesh, in place of
the usual Modi-Shah,
both during the election
campaign and after the
results. In the wake of
the BJP’s thumping vic-
tory, it was told, in
many ways, that Amit
Shah played a big role
in the victory of Uttar
Pradesh. The risk that
Amit Shah took by tak-
ing charge of western
Uttar Pradesh and the
Braj region, amid the
anger of the Jats and
the farmers, was cer-
tainly going to turn the
tide of the UP elections.
In fact, that is exactly
from where the victory
path of BJP started. So
Shah has his place and
his role. But Yogi’s stat-
ure has increased and
he is being described as
a contender for the posi-
tion of number two in
the national politics.
But is it really so?
Has Yogi really become
the number two leader
after becoming the
Chief Minister of Uttar
Pradesh for the second
time, a feat not accom-
plished in at least the
last three decades?
Well, truth be told, it is
not so now, since he is
not even a member of
the parliamentary
board of the BJP. There
is only one Chief Minis-
ter in the Parliamenta-
ry Board, the highest
decision making body
in BJP and that is
Shivraj Singh Chou-
han. If Yogi Adityanath
is included in the Par-
liamentary Board, then
it will be a big develop-
ment, which is surely
going to increase his
stature. Notably, new
members are to be nom-
inated in the Parlia-
mentary Board in the
next few days.
At present, the BJP
Parliamentary Board
has only seven members
and except one, the rest
are ex-officio members.
The Party president, the
Prime Minister, the for-
mer Speaker, the Leader
of both the Houses and
the Organisation Gen-
eral Secretary are the
ex-officio members of
the Parliamentary
Board. In this regard,
President JP Nadda,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi, former Presi-
dent- Rajnath Singh,
Nitin Gadkari and Amit
Shah and Organisation
General Secretary BL
Santosh are ex-officio
members. Apart from
these, only Shivraj Sin-
gh Chauhan is the only
member who is not ex-
officio. The Parliamen-
tary Board has previ-
ously had 12 members.
In this context, the posts
of five members are va-
cant. Three members -
Arun Jaitley, Sushma
Swaraj and Ananth Ku-
mar - passed away
, while
VenkaiahNaidubecame
the Vice President and
Thaawarchand Gehlot
became the Governor.
By law, as the leader
of the party in the Rajya
Sabha, Piyush Goyal
should be its member,
but the decision on this
aspect will be taken lat-
er. One woman and one
Dalit or tribal member
will get a place on the
board. Among the wom-
en leaders, the names of
Nirmala Sitharaman
and Smriti Irani are do-
ing the rounds, while
the name of Babulal
Marandi is discussed
from the tribal quota.
Keep in mind that out
of the seven members
of the BJP’s parliamen-
tary board, five are
from the upper castes
and two from the back-
ward castes. So, the
party has to increase
the representation of
the backward castes,
bring in Dalit and Adi-
vasi members and com-
pulsorily have a woman
on the board. If Parlia-
mentary Board mem-
bers are appointed on
this scale then it will be
difficult for Yogi to go to
this apex body. If the
Prime Minister makes
him a member regard-
less of the equation,
then the way for him to
become number two
will be cleared.
Will Yogi be included in BJP Parliamentary Board?
Officials of the Task Force raided the pub around 2:30 am on April
3 and found over 150 persons partying.

Mumbai: NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday took jibes
at Raj Thackeray, remarking there was
no consistency in his political disposi-

allegations of the NCP being a “casteist

conclusively that the MNS chief was
BJP’s “dummy”. “His speeches are only

DELHI VISIT MADE
FOR A GOOD PHOTO
OPPORTUNITY
amil Nadu Chief
Minister MK Stalin
used his Delhi visit to
bring opposition par-
tiestogethertoputup
a united fight against the BJP
. He
took the initiative as the Con-
gress, which is DMK’s ally in Ta-
mil Nadu, is unable to put its
house in order. Sonia Gandhi’s
presence at the event may not
mean much as also present were
Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Ya-
dav, representatives of Trina-
mool Congress, Telugu Desam
Party and Sitaram Yechury (CPI-
M) --- who are averse to sharing a
political front with the Congress.
The gradual downslide in the
Congress has fuelled the ambi-
tions of regional satraps like
Mamata Banerjee who thinks
that her party can edge out the
Congress. Having burnt its fin-
gers by allying with the Con-
gress in UP Assembly elections,
even the Samajwadi Party is not
comfortable in the company of
Congress. None of the opposi-
tion parties want to see the Con-
gress in the leadership role.
TOP TWEETS
T
akistan plunged
into a constitu-
tional crisis after
Prime Minister
Imran Khan
ducked a floor test with the
help of National Assembly’s
deputy speaker who dis-
missed the no-trust motion
on the ground that it was part
of a “foreign conspiracy”
against the government. He
immediately prorogued the
House. Imran Khan, who did
not attend the Assembly, im-
mediately recommended dis-
solution of the Assemblies
and President Arif Alvi
wasted no time to order fresh
elections within 90 days. The
move by Imran Khan
stumped the opposition par-
ties who had stacked num-
bers to vote out the Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaaf party,
something which has never
happened in Pakistan’s cheq-
uered history
.
The twist in Pakistan’s po-
litical tale did not end there.
As opposition members be-
gan a dharna inside the
House, outside the Pakistan
Supreme Court took suo
motu cognizance of the dis-
solution. A special bench has
been formed and the hearing
will begin from Monday to
decide if the dissolution of
the Assembly without even a
discussion on the no-trust
motion violated the constitu-
tion. That implies that Imran
Khan is not off the hook yet.
Pakistani army establish-
ment has decided not to step
in to sort things out just yet.
There is apprehension, how-
ever, that if there is too much
of violence it could move in.
Imran has cited US inter-
ference in Pakistan’s affairs.
He alleged that the no-trust
motion was introduced a day
after a meeting in which
American officials and a Pa-
kistani senator were present.
Not many in Pakistan are
willing to buy that argument.
IMRAN DUCKS, BUT
HAS TO FACE THE SC
A special bench has

P
KASHMIR VALLEY
WINDS OF CHANGE
ashmir, if literally translated,
means land desiccated from
water: “Ka” (the water) and
shimeera(todesiccate).Tradi-
tion says that Kashmir was
originally a lake that was
drained by the great saint of
ancient India Kashyap. It was
included in the empire of
Ashoka Maurya who is cred-
itedwiththefoundationof the
city of Srinagar around the
year 250 BC. During this peri-
od Buddhism spread in Kash-
mir and flourished under the
Kushans, but Hinduism held
itsswayintheregion.Thelast
Hindu ruler of Kashmir was
Udyan Dev but Queen Kota
Rani was the de-facto ruler of
the kingdom. The Hindu rule
in Kashmir came to an end in
1339 with her death and Mus-
lim rule was established un-
derSultanShamas-ud-dinand
his dynasty ruled the valley
for 222 years.
In 1819, Kashmir was an-
nexed by Ranjit Singh and
made a part of his Sikh em-
pire. Later Kashmir transit-
ed from British to DOGRAS
and Maharaja Hari Singh
ruled the state from 1925 to
1952. Maharaja Hari Singh
placed Kashmir under the
dominion of India by execut-
ing an Instrument of Acces-
sion on October 27, 1947. In
1956 Kashmir was integrated
into the Indian Union under
a new Constitution. However,
PoK Kashmir continued to be
under illegal occupation of
Pakistan. Kashmir was a
tourist’s paradise during the
1970’s and early 1980’s. How-
ever, tourism in Kashmir de-
clined during the late 1980’s
and 1990’s, due to terrorism
and disturbances. For years
Article 370 and Article 35A
held the erstwhile state from
achieving its true potential.
However, the Modi- Shah
plan of annulment of Article
370 and the formation of two
new union territories in 2019
has triggered the change and
stabilising with time. The
concerted effort by team Chi-
nar Corps, other security
forces and local people under
the guidance of LG has defi-
nitely stimulated the change.
The government’s recon-
struction plan for Kashmir
with an outlay of approxi-
mately Rs 24,000 crore, in the
fields of infrastructure, edu-
cation, health, civil ameni-
ties, industrial promotion,
employment and income gen-
eration seems to be working
for good. If over six lac tour-
ists pouring into valley since
2021is an indication, then
definitely the valley is wit-
nessing winds of change.
A seamless integration of
security forces and special
Indian Army initiate, the
voices unheard for decades
are finding expression in the
conversations and platforms
being provided to them at
various levels. Discussions
on future of violence-free
Kashmir with integrated
growth paradigms are re-
peated rejection of terrorism
and violence are underlining
themes of these platforms.
The incidents of glorifying a
terrorist killed by SF have
diminished. In a recent case
a lady publically applauding
Army and wishing her son to
be an Army officer only au-
thenticates the change.
Operation Sadbhavana, a
unique humane initiative un-
dertaken by Indian Army in
Kashmir to address aspira-
tions of people affected by
scrooge of terrorism, has pro-
vided succour local popula-
tion of the State and fast be-
coming a landmark scheme
for good of common people.
Be it guarding Dharohar of
Ashokas time, relentless ser-
vice during floods in 2014 or
reaching out to far flung are-
as for basic needs of water
and electricity
, access to qual-
ity education and basic
health and hygiene the work
by Indian army has been ex-
emplary. Indian Army has
established 46 Army Good-
will Schools and there is a
growing clamour from local
population for opening
schools in almost all corners
of the State. Approximately
14,000 students are currently
enrolled and close to one lakh
children have obtained pri-
mary/higher secondary lev-
els quality education in last
one and half decades of in-
surgency. Many success sto-
ries like of Shamima khatun
of Baramullah, Ifra Sheikh
of Badgam etc, now profes-
sors in the history depart-
ment of Kashmir University,
is a testimony to the positive
change, a society can experi-
ence through the window of
education. Because of these
positive changes the radical
space is shrinking and bigot-
ed ideology is beginning to
take a thorough beating.
The Kashmir valley is now
open for tourism and tourists
are absolutely safe in Kash-
mir. While interacting with
locals in Srigufwara, Shikara
operators in Dal Lake, Shop-
keepers in Badgam, Guides in
Gulmarg or students in Aru

Congress in UP facing
existential crisis
Gyanendra Kumar Shukla
Lucknow: In the re-
cently concluded assem-
bly elections in UP, the
Congress party suffered
the worst loss. The
country’s oldest party
ranked first in the mat-
ter of forfeiture of elec-
toral bail. In ten seats,
party candidates got
less votes than NOTA.
After such humiliat-
ing defeat, the displea-
sure of the party work-
ers against the team
handling the election
management of the par-
ty has increased mani-
fold, while at the same
time, the voices of re-
bellion have also start-
ed picking up. While the
process of discussion
within the party is not
being started regarding
the reasons for the de-
feat, at the same time,
the campaign to reorga-
nize the state unit of
the party is also hang-
ing in the balance.
Notably, the Priyan-
ka-led Congress focused
primarily on the ‘wom-
en card’ in the elections.
Avoiding alliance with
any party, Congress
fielded 399 candidates,
out of which 387 forfeit-
ed their deposits.
In the worst-ever per-
formance, the Congress
won just two seats,
Virendra Chaudhary
won from Farenda seat
of Maharajganj district
and Aradhana Mishra
Mona got victory from
Rampur Khas seat of
Pratapgarh in the re-
cently concluded polls.
Congress candidates
came second in just
four seats Mathura,
Kidwai Nagar, Jagdish-
pur and Khairagarh.
Even though Congress
was second in Mathura,
difference of votes be-
tween its candidate
Pradeep Mathur and
BJP’s candidate Shri-
kant Sharma was more
than one lakh.
STF nabs 4 drug peddlers,
opium worth `13.5 cr
Lucknow(PTI): The
Special Task Force
(STF) of Uttar Pradesh
Police on Sunday bust-
ed an inter-state drug
smuggling gang, ac-
cording to an official
statement.
The STF arrested
four members of the
gang and recovered opi-
um worth about `13 cr.
The accused smug-
gled the contraband
from Jharkhand and
were planning to take it
to Uttrakhand via Shah-
jahanpur, according to
a press statement is-
sued by the STF.
“Acting on this infor-
mation, the STF team
intercepted the accused
in Shahjahanpur. The
team recovered 13.2 kg
of opium from their
possession which is
worth `13 crore in the
international market.
`53,990 in cash was also
recovered from the ac-
cused,” the statement
read. The arrested
smugglers have told the
STF during interroga-
tion that they brought
opium from a
Jharkhand resident,
Rocky Raj, near Chopan
in Sonbhadra district,
STF sources said.
The accused were in-
volved in smuggling
drugs for the last two-
three years.

President Ram Nath
Kovind has said, em-
phasising that the cur-

here, President Kovind
said that India is deeply
concerned about the

BJP opens not just doors,but heart
as well for turncoats,Cong leaders!
Moni Sharma
New Delhi: Untilrecent-
ly
, the Bharatiya Janata
Party was considered a
party
, where no outsider
could enter easily
. Ideo-
logically
, commitment
and training for the
RashtriyaSwayamsevak
Sanghwasconsideredes-
sential. But now it is not
so. Now the doors of the
BJP are open for leaders
of all the parties and the
BJP is giving the mes-
sage that whoever leaves
hisorherpartyandjoins
the BJP
, they will be giv-
enimportantposition.In
the Northeast, this mes-
sage was given by the
BJPlongback,asaresult
of which many stalwart
leaders left the Congress
and joined the BJP and
one is now the CM of the
State.
Himanta Biswa Sar-
ma,PemaKhanduandN
Biren Singh have previ-
ously been in the Con-
gress, who are now CM.
In the Assembly elec-
tions of five states, the
way the BJP has given
tickets to the leaders of
Congress and other par-
ties and the number of
posts BJP has accorded
is astonishing. Jitin
Prasada, who joined the
BJP just before the UP
Assembly elections, has
beengivenahugeportfo-
lio like road construc-
tion, which was with
Keshav Prasad Maurya,
the deputy CM in the
previous government.
More than half of the
State’s Cabinet Minis-
ters are outsiders or be-
long to an ally party
.
There are only seven
Cabinet Ministers who
have already been asso-
ciatedwiththeBJP
. Sim-
ilarly
,inGoa,theteamof
eight Ministers along
with the CM has only
two Ministers, who were
earlierintheBJP
. Of the
remaining six, four are
leaders from the Con-
gress and two others are
allies.
In this way
, BJP has
opened up not only its
doors, but its heart too
for Congress leaders in
other states as well.

BJP headquarter in Delhi
Rakesh Ranjan
New Delhi: The De-
partment of Revenue’s
new roster for members
of the Central Board of
Indirect Taxes Cus-
toms (CBIC) has caused
a bit of surprise.
The surprise is
caused by the appoint-
ment of Sanjay Kumar
Agarwal (IRS
CCE:1988) as the mem-
ber in charge of compli-
ance management as
well as the supervising
authority of DG of DRI
and DG of GST Intelli-
gence - two critical posi-
tions. Previously, DRI
was under Balesh Ku-
mar.
Earlier, even though
Agarwal was appointed
as a Member of CBIC,
he was put on wait for
an assignment. Howev-
er, a month later on
31/03/2022, the govt al-
located him critical
portfolios.
Agarwal’s new port-
folios caused a change
in the assignments of
three members retiring
within the next six
months. DP Nagendra
and Balesh Kumar and
Sandeep Kumar will re-
tire in July, August
October respectively.
The remaining 4-6
months of their residu-
al service would be con-
sumed in familiarizing
themselves with new
subjects.
It is said that by ap-
pointing Agarwal as the
boss of all revenue in-
telligence operations,
the administration has
shown its preference
for an officer with the
maximum residual ser-
vice. This preference of
the administration in
favor of officers with
the maximum residual
service was earlier re-
flected in the appoint-
ment of Rajeev Talwar
as a member.
CBIC’S NEW ROSTER TWISTS ASSIGNMENTS
Morena (PTI): Videos showing several nursing course
students purportedly copying during the examination
at Morena district hospital in Madhya Pradesh have

for a practical examination held
at the state-run district hospital
in Morena. Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO)
Dr Rakesh Sharma said a five-member panel has been
constituted to probe the holding of exams.
Nashik (ANI): Eleven coaches of Lokmanya Tilak
Terminus (Kurla) — Jayanagar Express on Sunday de-
railed between Lahavit and Devlali railway station, near
Nashik Road railway station.
Two persons were injured in
the incident that took place at
around 3.10pm, claimed the
Central Railway. Several trains
from Mumbai towards Bhu-
sawal have been diverted or
even cancelled even as the route towards Mumbai was
open. The sub-divisional magistrate of Nashik, Nilesh
Shringi who is on the spot said that they have received
one dead body and two injured cases.

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Assembly
elections are going to be
held in Karnataka in
May next year, but be-
fore that the discussion
has intensified that As-
sembly elections can be
held later this year.
Keep in mind that As-
sembly elections are go-
ing to be held in two
states Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat at
the end of the year.
That’s why many state
Congress leaders are
saying that elections
can be held with them
in Karnataka too. Kar-
nataka Congress Presi-
dent DK Shivakumar
has claimed that elec-
tion will be announced
on November 27. Keep
in mind that communal
politics in State is at its
peak. The row over hi-
jab is still going on. This
matter has been chal-
lenged in the SC after
the High Court’s ban on
wearing hijab in school-
college. Meanwhile, the
govt has started imple-
menting the decision of
the HC. Because of this,
the girl students had to
remove hijab during the
exams or had to skip it.
A BJP MLA has raised
another issue. He ap-
pealed to Hindus not to
eat Halal meat. The row
overhijabandhalalmeat
has increased. Only the
Congress suspect that to
take advantage of this
politics of polarisation,
polls may be pushed
ahead of time.

CBI is no more a “caged
parrot” but is truly per-
forming its duty as In-
dia’s top criminal inves-
tigating agency, Law
Minister Kiren Rijiju
asserted, saying there
was a time when people
sitting in the govern-
ment sometimes used to
become a problem in
investigations.
In a tweet on Sunday,
Rijiju said, “CBI is no
more “Caged Parrot”
but truly performing its
duty as India’s top crim-
inal investigating agen-
cy”. He also shared a

With surging exports, India to push
its businesses abroad more boldly
New Delhi (ANI):
Buoyed by the recent
surge in Indian goods
exports which touched
USD 400 billion this
year, India will give
further push to eco-
nomic diplomacy and
will market its business
more boldly and openly
across the globe, a sen-
ior functionary of the
government told ANI.
India has recently
inked crucial trade
agreements with United
Arab Emirates (UAE)
and Australia. Talks
with Israel, European
Union and Britain are

India on the cusp of major
economic recovery: Niti
Aayog VC Rajiv Kumar
New Delhi (PTI): In-
dia is on the cusp of a
major economic recov-
ery and talks of possi-
ble stagflation are
“overhyped” as a
strong economic foun-
dation is being laid
with the reforms car-
ried out by the govern-
ment over the last sev-
en years, Niti Aayog
Vice Chairman Rajiv
Kumar said on Sunday
.
Notwithstanding
economic uncertain-
ties triggered by the
Russia-Ukraine war
that is also impacting
global supply chains,
Kumar asserted that it
was quite clear from
all accounts that India
will remain the fastest
growing economy in
the world.
“Given all the re-
forms that we have
done in the last seven
years, and given that
we are seeing the end
of the COVID-19 pan-
demic hopefully, and
the 7.8 per cent rate
of growth that we
will get this year
(2022-23), a very
strong foundation is
now being laid for
further rapid in-
crease in economic
growth in the coming
years,” Kumar told
PTI in an interview.
Asia’s third-largest
economy is projected
to grow 8.9 per cent in
2021-22, according to
recent government
data. The Reserve
Bank of India (RBI)
has pegged the eco-
nomic growth rate for
2022-23 at 7.8 per cent.
“So, I think India is
on the cusp of a ma-
jor economic recov-
ery and economic
growth,” Kumar said
even as he acknowl-
edged that because of
the Russia-Ukraine
war, India’s GDP
growth projection
could be revised.
“But even then, In-
dia will remain the
fastest growing econo-
my and all the other
economic parameters
are actually quite
within the range,” he
said.
Russia started its
military offensive
against Ukraine on
February 24. Western
nations, including the
US, have imposed ma-
jor economic and vari-
ous other sanctions on
Russia following the
offensive.
On rising inflation,
the Niti Aayog Vice
Chairman said that
RBI is keeping a close
watch as per its man-
date.

ONGC to see $3 bn rise in earnings,
Reliance $1.5 bn from gas price hike
New Delhi (PTI): State-

tries may get USD 1.5

Maruti Suzuki aims to sell 6L CNG units in FY22
country’s largest car-
maker Maruti Suzuki
India (MSI) aims to sell
4-6 lakh CNG units in
the current fiscal year
depending upon supply
situation of essential
components, as per a
senior company offi-
cial. The company sold
about 2.3 lakh CNG
units in 2021-22. MSI
currently sells nine of
its 15 models with CNG
powertrain and is look-
ing to drive in more
models with such tech-
nology in the coming
days. “It depends on
availability (of essen-
tial components). But
we are looking at any
number between 4 lakh
and 6 lakh units in the
current fiscal,” MSI
Senior Executive Di-
rector (Sales and Mar-
keting) Shashank Sriv-
astava told PTI in an
interaction.
He was replying to a
query regarding the
company’s sales projec-
tions for the CNG seg-
ment in current fiscal
year. Srivastava noted
that the share of CNG
cars in its overall sales
is bound to increase
over the years as it
plans to bring in more
models with the alter-
native fuel technology.
“CNG volumes are now
about 17 per cent of our
overall sales. We have
CNG in nine models
and in those models
their contribution is
about 32-33 per cent,”
he stated. Srivastava
noted that there is a lot
of interest among the
consumers for CNG
cars because of low
running cost and con-
tinuous increase in fuel
cost. Over the last few
years, MSI has wit-
nessed growth in CNG
car sales.
It sold 74,000 units
in 2016-17; around 1
lakh units in 2018-19;
1.05 lakh units in 2019-
20; and 1.62 lakh units
in 2020-21. The auto
major has stated in
the past that the
launch of its S-CNG
vehicle range is
aligned to and comple-
ments the govern-
ment’s vision of re-
ducing oil import and
enhancing the share
of natural gas in the
country’s primary en-
ergy mix from 6.2 per
cent now to 15 per cent
by 2030.

New Delhi (PTI):
Continuing their

sixth consecutive
month, foreign in-
vestors pulled out a
massive `41,000
crore from the In-
dian equity market
in March on antici-
pation of rate hikes
by the US Federal
Reserve and the de-
teriorating geopo-
litical environment
amid the Russia-
Ukraine war.
Further, flows
from foreign portfo-

main volatile in the
near term given the

The RBI Governor-

“Nevertheless, the

India's jobless rate falls to 7.6%
in Mar from 8.1% in Feb: CMIE
Kolkata (PTI): Unem-
ployment rate in the
country is decreasing
with the economy slowly
returning to normal, ac-
cording to CMIE data.
The Centre for Monitor-
ing Indian Economy’s
monthly time series data
revealed that the over-
all unemployment rate in
India was 8.10 per cent
in February 2022, which
fell to 7.6 per cent in
March.
On April 2, the ratio
further dropped to 7.5
per cent, with urban un-
employment rate at 8.5
per cent and rural at 7.1
per cent.
Retired professor of
economics at Indian Sta-
tistical Institute Abhirup
Sarkar said that though
the overall unemploy-
ment rate is falling, it
is still high for a “poor”
country like India.
The decrease in the
ratio shows that
the economy is
getting back on
track after being
hit by COVID-19 for
two years, he said.
“But still, this unem-
ployment rate is
high for India
which is a poor
country,” Sarkar
said.

RS played crucial role in strengthening Parliamentary democracy: Naidu
New Delhi (PTI): Ex-
tending greetings on
Rajya Sabha Day on
Sunday, Vice President
M Venkaiah Naidu said
the upper house has
played a crucial role in
strengthening parlia-
mentary democracy
.
Naidu, who is also
Chairman of the Rajya
Sabha, appealed to its
members to engage in
informed and construc-
tive debates by keeping
the welfare of the peo-
ple in mind.
“Greetings on Rajya
Sabha Day! Ever since
its inception, Rajya
Sabha has played a cru-
cial role in strengthen-
ing parliamentary de-
mocracy,” the Vice
President Secretariat
tweeted, quoting Naidu.
“I would like to ap-
peal to the members of
Rajya Sabha to engage
in informed con-
structive debates by
keeping the welfare of
the people in mind,” he
said.
The Constituent As-
sembly, which first met
on December 9, 1946,
also acted as the Cen-
tral Legislature till
1950, when it was con-
verted as ‘Provisional
Parliament’. During
this period, the Central
Legislature, which was
known as Constituent
Assembly and later Pro-
visional Parliament,
was unicameral till the
first elections were
held in 1952.
Extensive debate
took place in the Con-
stituent Assembly re-
garding the utility or
otherwise of a second
chamber in independ-
ent India and ultimate-
ly, it was decided to
have a bicameral legis-
lature for independent
India mainly because a
federal system was
considered to be most
feasible form of gov-
ernment for such a
vast country with im-
mense diversities.
A second chamber
known as the ‘Council
of States’, therefore,
was created with alto-
gether different com-
position and method of
election from that of
the directly elected
House of the People.
Apart from the
elected members, pro-
vision was also made
for the nomination of
12 members to the
House by the Presi-
dent. The nomencla-
ture “Rajya Sabha”
was announced by the
Chair in the House on
August 23, 1954.

TOSTRENGTHENANTI-DOPINGTESTING
First India Bureau
Jammu: In a break-
through achievement,
the National Dope Test-
ing Laboratory (NDTL)
has indigenously devel-
oped six new and rare
Reference Materials
(RMs), which is the pur-
est form of chemical
required for anti-doping
analysis in all WADA-
accredited Laboratories
across the world. The
six RMs have been de-
veloped in less than a
year by NDTL in asso-
ciation with the Nation-
al Institute of Pharma-
ceutical Education and
Research (NIPER)-
Guwahati and the CSIR-
Indian Institute of Inte-
grative Medicine (IIIM),
Jammu.
The RMs were
launched by Union Min-
ister of Youth Affairs
and Sports Anurag Sin-
gh Thakur during the
15th Governing Body
Meeting of NDTL, in
the presence of Sports
Secretary Sujata
Chaturvedi and other
senior officials of the
Sports Ministry
.
With the creation of
these RMs NDTL has
earned itself the recog-
nition of being one of
the few labs in the world
where such RMs have
been developed.
Speaking about the
achievement, Thakur
said, “I applaud the sci-
entists of the three in-
stitutions who have
worked tirelessly to cre-
ate these reference ma-
terials. These RMs are
not readily available
across the world but are
needed by every WADA-
accredited laboratory
for their anti-doping
analysis. India itself
has been importing
RMs from Canada and
Australia, however,
with this scientific de-
velopment India has in-
deed taken a step to-
wards Atmanirbhar
Bharat.
AAP creates atmosphere
via media, has nothing
on ground, says Thakur
Chandigarh (ANI):
Union Minister Anurag
Thakur took a jibe at
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
national convenor
Arvind Kejriwal on the
day the latter urged the
people of poll-bound
Gujarat to give his
party a chance in the
forthcoming Assembly
elections, and said that
they “create an atmos-
phere via the media”
but have “nothing on
the ground”.
Speaking to media,
Thakur said, “Arvind
Kejriwal has contested
against Prime Minister
Narendra Modi before,
you’ve seen his condi-
tion. He couldn’t win a
seat in Uttar Pradesh,
did you see his condi-
tion in Uttarakhand,
Goa? Sometimes they
create an atmosphere
via media but have
nothing on the ground.”
Lauding PM’s leader-
ship, the minister called
him the “world’s most
loved leader” and said
that the BJP gets votes
“unilaterally” in his
name wherever there
are elections in the
country.
“At the end of the
year, BJP will come
again in Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat as
well. Whenever there
are elections in the
country, BJP gets votes
in the name of PM Modi
unilaterally,” he said.

both West Asian states
to significantly boost

STRATEGIC MOVE
4 LeT
associates

B a n d i p o r a
( A g e n c i e s ) : F o u r
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
associates were arrest-
ed on Sunday in Jammu
and Kashmir’s Bandip-
ora district where the
security forces busted a
terror module. Jammu
Police said “we have ar-
rested four terrorist as-
sociates of LeT who
were providing logis-
tics and transportation
to the active terrorists
of the district.”
The police said, “On a
specific input, security
force recovered two
Chinese grenades in
Bandipora from arrest-
ed associates identified
as Irfan Ahmad Bhat
and Sajad Ahmad Mir,
Shariq Ahmad Mir and
Irfan Ahmad Jan all
residents of Bandipora,
who were providing

Gujarat BJP Chief’s Delhi sojourn
sparks early election debate
First India Bureau
Surat/ Gandhinagar:
After making last-min-
ute changes to his
schedule, Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party (BJP) Guja-
rat unit President CR
Patil flew to Delhi on
Sunday morning. This
has surprised many
and also sparked specu-
lations whether Guja-
rat will hold state as-
sembly polls early
.
Patil was to attend a
community event in Ra-
jkot on Sunday
, when he
informed organisers
that he will only be able
to address the event vir-
tually. He cited his im-
pending visit to Delhi
as the reason for the
change in plan.
Sources say that he is
going to meet Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi. Patil will be dis-
cussing election strate-
gy and may even make
firm plans of bringing
in Congress MLAs into
the party fold. They
may even discuss cam-
paign plans and star
campaigners, they add-
ed.
However, Patil had
told local media per-
sons, “The State Elec-
tion Commission (SEC)
makes the decisions re-
garding elections and
no party can influence
or pressure it. The BJP
is not preparing for ear-
ly elections and they
will be held when the
commission says so.”
Koli community leaders of the Vir Mandhata Group
met with Khodaldham Trust’s managing trustee Na-
resh Patel on Sunday, and promised to extend their
support to his political journey. Addressing media
persons, the group’s leader Raju Solanki said,
“Naresh Patel will have our full support and cooper-
ation no matter which political party he joins. Good
people are required in politics and if a person like
him joins politics, it can change the whole path and
bring about development for the people.”

Khattar condemns Punjab’s
resolution on Chandigarh
First India Bureau
Chandigarh: Con-
demning a resolution
moved in the Assembly
seeking the transfer of
Chandigarh to Punjab,
Haryana Chief Minis-
ter Manohar Lal Khat-
tar has demanded an
apology from Aam Aad-
mi Party (AAP) nation-
al convener Arvind Ke-
jriwal and Chief Minis-
ter Bhagwant Mann.
“Arvind Kejriwal
should condemn it, or
they should apologise to
the people of Haryana.
Punjab Chief Minister
should also apologise to
the people of Haryana.
What they have done is
condemnable,” he said.
The Haryana Chief
Minister further said
that the Rajiv-Longowal
Accord was signed 35-36
years ago and as per the
Accord, Chandigarh is
the capital of both Har-
yana and Punjab.
Khattar also asked
Kejriwal to clarify his
stand on the matter of
the Sutlej-Yamuna link
issue. “Arvind Kejriwal
demands water on one
side and does not want
to give water on the oth-
er. So he should clarify
his stand in the matter
of SYN,” he added.
—With ANI inputs
AAP benefits from agitations, even opposition parties agree to it!
First India Bureau
New Delhi: Experi-
enced political strate-
gists and observers have
now come to pass that if
the general public of the
country agitate over an
issue, it is the Aam Aad-
mi Party (AAP) that
benefits from it. It will
sound strange but it is
evident from the results
of Delhi and Punjab and
now the leaders of the
party are also accepting
it. Keep in mind that in
2011, Anna Hazare’s
movement against cor-
ruption took place in
Delhi, after which the
AAP was formed and in
the very first elections it
became the number two
party of Delhi. After
that, it did wonders in
the next two elections.
Congress remained at
zero in two consecutive
electionsandAAPgot67
and62seatsrespectively
.
A similar feat has been
achieved in Punjab.
Last year, there was a
farmers’ movement. Al-
though farmers from all
over the country were
involved in the move-
ment, but mainly the
farmers of Punjab and
Haryana were agitat-
ing. The Central Govt
and the BJP’s IT cell
also targeted the farm-
ers of Punjab and
termed them Khal-
istani, Terrorist, Mawa-
li, etc. When elections
were held in Punjab just
after that movement,
AAP benefited hugely
as it won on 93 of the 117
assembly seats. The
Haryana assembly elec-
tions are still some time
away, otherwise AAP
would have benefited
there too. So, it’s be-
lieved that if there’s
any movement across
the country regarding
inflation, unemploy-
ment etc., then instead
of Congress, AAP will
get the benefit of it.

She has earned a
huge name in the

When asked to
talk about herself,
the beauty with

the person who
never settles for
less than I deserve.
Even when things
seem impossible, I
always try to give
my best.”
She further add-

passion for model-

helped me carve a
niche for myself. I
strongly believe
that one who al-

Talking about

learned skills from

when in Alwar I
bagged two titles in

my family indeed

Paying grati-
