MahaRERA relief for homebuyer waiting for 9 years
Satish Nandgaonkar
Mumbai: The Maha-
rashtraRealEstateRegu-
latory Authority (Maha-
RERA) has directed Sun-
teck Realty Group’s
Skystar Buildcon Pvt.
Ltd to refund Rs1.23
crore to a homebuyer
with interest from De-
cember 2013. The hous-
ing regulator held that
the developer had vio-
lated the provisions of
the Maharashtra Owner-
ship of Flats Act and the
Real Estate Regulation
and Development Act.
The 14-page order, is-
sued by MahaRERA
member Vijay Satbir
Singh on April 20, also
warned that a penalty of
Rs5,000 per day will be
imposed if the developer
fails to comply with the
orderwithintwomonths.
“Thereafter, the penalty
shalldoubleeverymonth
of default till actual com-
pliance,” it adds.
Homebuyer Prashant
Puthran had approached
the regulator seeking a
refund of his investment
under Section 18 of
RERA. He alleged that
despitepayingmorethan
80% of the consideration
for the flat in Sunteck
City Avenue-2 project in
Goregaon, the developer
had not provided a regis-
tered agreement for sale.
“It is the case of the
complainant that he had
bookedFlatNo.303inB-3
wing of Tower 1 of Sun-
teck City Avenue-2 on
December 5, 2013, by
signing an application
form. However, the appli-
cation form did not state
the date of possession.
Of the total considera-
tion of Rs1.50 crore, he
paid Rs1.23 crore till
June 2020. Despite re-
peatedly demanding a
registered agreement for
sale, the developer alleg-
edly did not provide even
a draft agreement until
2019. From April 2020,
the developer informed
him via emails that pos-
session will be given on
or before October 30,
2021, the date declared on
MahaRERA website,”
the order said.
Advocate Tanuj Lod-
ha, appearing for
Puthran, argued that as
per Section 46 of the
Contract Act, even if no
time for possession is
stated, the possession
must be given within a
reasonable time, citing
previous Supreme Court
judgements.
Homebuyers cannot
be made to wait for an
unreasonable amount of
time, and more than sev-
en years is beyond rea-
sonable, he said. He also
contended that the devel-
oper had intentionally
kept his client in the
dark and deprived him
of rental income for over
seven years by adopting
unfair practices.

tions, advocate Preet

RAM NAAM IS KEYWORD FOR MAHA POLITICS!
Renni Abraham
Mumbai: Amravati dis-
trict’s Member of Parlia-
ment Navneet Rana and
MLA husband Ravi
Rana, who spent 12 days
in prison, can take heart
after challenging the
might of Maharashtra
Chief Minister Uddhav
Thackeray and threaten-
ing to recite the Hanu-
man Chalisa before
Thackeray’s private resi-
dence in Bandra.
While the couple suf-
fered the indignity of
arrest and incarcera-
tion following their pub-
lic spat with the Chief
Minister, their political
stock appears to have
experienced an uptick.
Well-placed sources in
the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) confirmed
to First India that the
Rana couple were most
likely to be accepted
into the party fold.
“The political couple
was given undue promi-
nence by the ruling dis-
pensation in Maharash-
tra after they threatened
to recite the Hanuman
Chalisa before ‘Ma-
toshree’, the private resi-
dence of the Thackeray
family in Mumbai’s Ban-
dra suburb. Had the Shiv
Sena ignored the couple,
they would not have
achievedtheprominence
they had sought. In poli-
tics,anypublicityisgood
publicity
. The BJP, in
turn, will increase its
tally of MPs in the Lok
Sabha by one and in the
Maharashtra state legis-
lature by one more MLA.
Afinaldecisionisexpect-
ed soon,” a BJP leader
told First India, asking
not to be named.
As if bolstered by the
political booster dose
and an imminent entry
into the BJP, Navneet
Rana reverted to her ag-
gressive stance and
dared Maharashtra CM
Uddhav Thackeray to
contest from any con-
stituency against her in
an apparent political af-
frontery
. The Maharash-
tra state government is
likely to move the ses-
sions court citing a vio-
lation of the strict bail
conditions that were im-
posed upon the Rana
couple when they were
enlarged with express
orders not to speak to
the news media—some-
thing Navneet Rana has
clearly violated.
Meanwhile, a saffron
embrace has become the
new political trend ema-
nating out of Maharash-
tra in the wake of the
controversy over loud-
speakers on Turn to P8

ple, they would not have achieved the prominence they had sought. In politics,

Maha likely
to challenge
Rana couple’s
bail for flouting
release terms
Mumbai: The Maha-
rashtra government is
likely to file a Con-
tempt of Court plea
against MP Navneet
Rana and MLA Ravi
Rana, who were re-
cently granted bail in
a sedition case, for vio-
lation of the bail order
conditions.
The Public Prosecu-
tor is likely to file a
Contempt of Court
plea against the Rana
couple citing violation
of one bail condition.
The court had said,
“Accused shall not ad-
dress the press on any
subjects related to the
Hanuman Chalisa re-
cital case.”
Despite this condi-
tion in the bail order,
MP Navneet Rana
spoke to the media after
stepping out of the Lila-
wati Hospital. She said,
“I challenge Uddhav
Thackeray to contest
elections from any con-
stituency and I will con-
test against you and
show you what woman

Value of vote of MPs may go down
to 700 from 708 in President’s poll,
courtesy no JK legislative assembly
New Delhi (PTI): The
value of the vote of a
Member of Parliament
is likely to go down to
700 from 708 in the pres-
idential polls scheduled
in July due to the ab-
sence of a legislative as-
sembly in Jammu and
Kashmir, officials said
on Saturday. The value
of the vote of an MP in
a presidential election
is based on the number
of elected members in
legislative assemblies
of states and union ter-
ritories, including Del-
hi, Puducherry and
Jammu and Kashmir.
The Electoral College
for the presidential elec-
tion comprises the
members of Lok Sabha,
Rajya Sabha and those
of the legislative assem-
blies of states and union
territories including
Delhi, Puducherry and
Jammu and Kashmir.
Before it was bifurcated
into two union territo-
ries of Ladakh, and JK
in August 2019, the erst-
while state of JK had
83 assembly seats.
According to the
Jammu and Kashmir
Reorganisation Act, the
Union Territory of JK
will have a legislative
assembly, while Ladakh
will be governed direct-
ly by the Centre.

JAHANGIRPURI VIOLENCE: COURT BLASTS DELHI POLICE
‘COPS ACCOMPANIED
ILLEGAL PROCESSION’
...THEIR COMPLICITY NEEDS TO BE PROBED: DELHI COURT
Noting there was an “utter failure” on part of the Delhi Police in stopping a Hanuman Jayanti
procession held without permission at Jahangirpuri in northwest Delhi last month, a Rohini court
has said that the issue “seems to have been simply brushed aside” by the senior police officers
New Delhi: The bail of
eight people allegedly
involved in the recent
communal clashes at
Delhi’s Jahangirpuri
has been rejected by a
local court, which said
the accused are well-
known local criminals
and their release may
intimidate witnesses.
The judge also repri-
manded the Delhi Po-
lice for not stopping the
illegal procession and
demanded that the po-
lice chief investigate
the matter and fix ac-
countability among the
officers involved.
Twenty people were
arrested over the vio-
lence in the northwest
Delhi locality that took
place during a Ram Na-
vami procession last
month, in which eight
policemen and a civil-
ian were injured. It was
found later that the pro-
cession took place
without police permis-
sion and the alterca-
tion with members of
the minority commu-
nity took place in pres-
ence of the police.
Instead of stopping
the illegal procession
and dispersing the
crowd, the police offic-
ers were seen accompa-
nying it on the route,
the court said.
“It prima facie re-
flects the utter failure
on the part of local po-
lice in stopping the said
procession having no
permission,” he said,
adding that the matter
seems to have been
brushed aside by sen-
ior officers.
Dependra Pathak, a
senior officer of the
Delhi police, had ex-
plained the presence of
the force during the
procession, saying, “It
is the responsibility of
Police to maintain law
and order”.
Security deployment remained heavy days after the clashes at Jahangirpuri.
The contents of the FIR itself show that the
local staff of police station Jahangirpuri,
led by Inspector Rajiv Ranjan as well
as other officials... were accompanying the said
illegal procession —Rohini Court Judge

their water problem
would be solved. “I have
come to see your situa-
tion. A system is being
installed to bring water
to the house. I will be
back in a month to re-
view the work,” he said.
After the women of
Biwalwadi told them
about the seriousness
of water scarcity, he as-
sured them of an imme-
diate supply of water
through solar energy
.
Thackeray said that,
“Rain water is carried in
Shahapur, Palghar and
Thane areas. Therefore,
waterscarcityisfacedby
people living in remote
areas’’, adding that “till
thecompletionof Bhavli

be brought by tankers
through forest lakes and
wells and then it would
be pumped to the wells
by solar pumps.”
Thackerey was wel-
comed by the women of
the village as a tradi-
tional folk song.
Saying that he did not
want a reception pro-
gram, Thackeray sat
directly on the ground
and started interacting
with the women. Due to
the large number of
families with the sur-
name Thackeray in this
village, the senior wom-
en of the village started
giving information
about water scarcity
.
Thackeray also said
that infrastructural fa-
cilities are being pro-
vided in some parts of
the district which are in
remote areas. Roads
and bridges are re-
quired in these areas,
which will be made
available to the people.
“Due to the remote-
ness of most parts of
Palghar district, the
mainsourceof transpor-
tation was not available
on roads and bridges,
such remote areas will
be connected by main
roads. This will provide
new employment oppor-
tunities to the farmers
and locals in the area,”
Thackeray said.
MP Rana dares Uddhav to contest polls against her
First India Bureau
Mumbai: Independent
MP Navneet Rana, who
recently got bail after
being arrested by
Mumbai police last
month over ‘Hanuman
Chalisa’ recitation row,
on Sunday challenged
Maharashtra Chief
Minister Uddhav
Thackeray to contest
an election against her.
She also claimed that
people of Mumbai and
Lord Ram will teach
the Shiv Sena a lesson
in civic polls.
Shiv Sena President
Thackeray, who be-
came the CM in No-
vember 2019 after forg-
ing an alliance with the
Nationalist Congress
Party (NCP) and Con-
gress, took oath as
member of the Maha-
rashtra Legislative
Council in May 2020.
Prior to that, he was
not a member of the
state legislature.
Talking to media
persons on Sunday, af-
ter being discharged
from the hospital, Rana
said, “I challenge Ud-
dhav Thackeray ji to
choose a constituency
and get elected directly
by people. I will fight
against him.”
“I will work hard
with honesty and win
the election, and he
(the CM) will know the
people’s power,” she
said.
“What crime did I
commit that I was
jailed for 14 days? You
can put me in jail for 14
years, but I will not
stop chanting the
names of Lord Ram
and Hanuman. Mum-
baikars and Lord Ram
will teach the Shiv
Sena a lesson in the
civic polls,” the parlia-
mentarian said.
Navneet Rana, the
MP from Amravati in
Maharashtra, and her
MLA-husband Ravi
Rana were arrested on
April 23 by the Mumbai
police after the couple
announced that they
would recite the Hanu-
man Chalisa outside
CM Thackeray’s pri-
vate residence ‘Ma-
toshree’ in Mumbai,
which angered workers
of the Shiv Sena,
Thackeray’s party,
leading to tension.
The couple was
granted bail on May 04
by a special Mumbai
court. They walked out
of jail on May 05 fol-
lowing which Navneet
Rana was admitted to
a private hospital. Her
lawyer then said she
had complaints of
high blood pressure,
bodyache and spondy-
litis.

argued that his client
had obtained the Occu-
pation Certificate for
the flat on August 18,
2021, and Puthran was
no longer an allottee in
the project after his
booking was terminat-
ed for failing to pay dues
and completing the sale.
The lawyer contended
that Section 18 of RERA
comes into the picture
only when the promoter
fails to give possession
of the apartment and
that, in this case, there
was no document with
the complainant show-
ing the agreed date of
possession.
After hearing argu-
ments and written sub-
missions from both par-
ties, MahaRERA mem-
ber Vijay Satbir Singh
said, prima facie, the
developer had violated
Section 4 of MOFA and
Section 13 of RERA for
accepting more than
20% of the flat consid-
eration without first
registering an agree-
ment for sale. He ob-
served that despite pay-
ing a substantial part of
the flat cost, the home-
buyer had to wait for
his home even after
nine years.
“Normally a project
should be complete in
three to five years as
held by the hon’ble
Apex Court in its vari-
ous judgements. Such
an inordinate delay is
neither permissible nor
justifiable by any
stretch of the imagina-
tion,” he said, adding
that Puthran was enti-
tled to relief under Sec-
tion 18 of RERA.
Singh said the devel-
oper had registered
April 13, 2021, as the
proposed date of com-
pletion while register-
ing the project but, even
on that date, the project
was incomplete as the
OC was obtained only
on August 18, 2021.

Srinagar: From taking
colours and sketch
books inside madrasas,
encouraging children to
channelizetheircreativ-
ity
,tomotivatingwomen
to take up self-employ-
ment, Mumbai-based
artist Rouble Nagi has
started a programme
‘Misaal Kashmir’, call-
ing the Valley a “land of
infinite possibilities”.
Born into an Army
family in Jammu and a
graduate from the Slade
School of Fine Art, Lon-
don, Nagi is a firm be-
liever that colours can
do wonders, especially
for children. “We
should brush away the
dull for brighter morn-
ings and wider smiles,”
said the artist.
She along with her
team has been travelling
to remote places such as
Watlab,Sangrama,Hand-
wara, Langate and the
rural belt of Pulwama
educating children with
arts and the language of
paints while advocating
women to generate em-
ployment for themselves.
With 800 murals to
her credit and having
organized over 150 exhi-
bitions, Nagi has also
been focusing on the
youth of Kashmir and
believes that they need
to navigate their lives
with the vision of
growth and positivity,
stop following peers and
politicians “if you feel
they are leading you to-
wards a negative path”.
“Happiness is creat-
ed by facing fears and
overcoming doubt. Pro-
gress is hard earned
and can only come from
a purpose that is pure ,”
she said.
Palghar (PTI): Six Ni-
gerian nationals were
arrested in a joint op-
eration by police in Pal-
ghar in Maharashtra
and Meghalaya for al-
legedly killing a com-
patriot in Valiv here
some days ago, an offi-
cial said on Sunday.
The naked body of a
50-year-old Nigerian
was found in a closed
flat in Naigaon area on
May 4, and a probe by
Mira Bhayander Vasai
Virar (MBVV) police
had found that some
people from his coun-
try residing here had
dragged him out of his
house a day earlier, ab-
ducted him in a car and
brutally assaulted him,
he said.
“We found that three
Nigerians who were
living in this flat had
left, which raised
doubts. The men had
taken him to the flat in
Naigaon, hit him and
left his corpse there in
a naked condition. We
first got a tip-off that
the accused had fled to
Bengaluru and then
found they had taken a
flight to Guwahati in
Assam,” the Valiv po-
lice station official
said.
In order to stop them
from escaping the
country via the Megha-
laya border, police from
the north-eastern state
were alerted, who de-
tained and handed
them over to MBVV po-
lice on Saturday, he
said.
The accused are be-
ing brought to Palghar
on a transit remand, he
added.

First India Bureau
Mumbai: Body of a
20-year-old woman was
found inside the wash-
room of Swaraj Express
at Dahanu Road railway
station in Palghar dis-
trict on Sunday after-
noon. Suspected to be a
suicide case, the body
was found with a cloth

On the basis of an
Aadhaar card found on

sengers later pointed
out the same to the au-
thorities, he said.
“Passengers of the S4
coach said the woman
went to the washroom
anddidnotreturntoher
seat for a long time.
They knocked on the
door without any re-
sponse from inside. Lat-
er, the ticket checker
and passengers tried to
open the door of the
washroom, but were un-
able to do so as it was
locked from inside,” the
official said.
After that, the train
was given a special halt
at the Dahanu Road rail-
way station around 1.10
pm, following which the
train staff opened the
latch of the toilet door
and found the woman ly-
ing motionless on the
floor. Her post-mortem
report is awaited, which
will specify the exact
reason behind her
death, the official said.

TOP TWEETS
NEED FOR EXTRA
VIGIL IN VIEW OF
PRO-KHALISTAN
ACTIVITY IN HP
ro-Khalistan ele-
ments are beginning
to raise their heads
in Punjab and also in
Himachal Pradesh
must be the reason for central
agencies to go on the alert. In the
latest incident the Himachal
Pradesh Assembly was draped
in the Khalistani flag. A Khal-
istani flag was also hoisted at the
gate of the Assembly complex at
Dharamshala. The Assembly’s
walls were painted with pro-
Khalistangraffiti.TheHimachal
police suspect the involvement
of tourists from Punjab.
Over a week ago members of
Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray)
clashed with a group which pro-
tested against Sena taking out
an anti-Khalistan rally in Pun-
jab’s Patiala district. Patiala has
seen a mushrooming of right
wing Hindu groups after Opera-
tion Blue Star in 1984.
The Himachal Pradesh inci-
dent happened despite an intel-
ligence alert following a letter
from the Sikhs for Justice or-
ganisation which said that it
will hoist the flag on March 29.
Heavy security foiled SFJ’s
plans that day. The state now
needs to be extra vigilant.
P
he fifth National
Family Health
Survey 2019-21
found that the to-
tal fertility rate
(Total Fertility Rate) among
Muslims has sharply de-
clined from 2.62 to 2.36 be-
tween the latest survey and
NFHS 4 (2015-16). This should
silence those who ratcheted
fear of Hindus getting out-
numbered by Muslims in the
near future. The claims were
without substance but the
propaganda from rooftops
convinced many a gullible
Hindu. The propagandists,
mainly seers and some BJP
leaders, have raised the spec-
tre of rising Muslim popula-
tion to carry forward their
religious agenda although
official data did not corrobo-
rate those claims. Using so-
cial media platforms to
spread the message of hate
and genocide, as was done in
Haridwar and later in Delhi,
prepares the ground for tar-
geting the minority commu-
nity. One BJP MLA saw a
conspiracy by Muslims to
one day occupy “the chair of
President, prime minister
and chief ministers”. That
the fear of Muslim popula-
tion rising is fallacious is
proved by NFHS 5.
The 2011 census showed
that Muslims constituted
14.22 percent of the popula-
tion after a gain of 0.8 per-
cent over the 2001 Census. In
comparison, the share of
Hindus in the country’s pop-
ulation fell by 0.7 percent. It
is this data that was respon-
sible for the debate on Mus-
lim population in the coun-
try. The NFHS 5 shows that
the decline in Muslim TFR by
46.5 percent was higher than
the Hindus whose TFR fell by
41.2 percent.
The good news is that as
India’s population growth is
slowing down with women
across all religions produc-
ing fewer children, the coun-
try’s population is set to fall.

T
n organization is a set of peo-
ple that work for specific ob-
jectives, it is the employee
that run it. The future of any
organization depends on the
type of people who work
there. Proper and well
planned men’s groups for
work is called Talent Manage-
ment. The fate of the organi-
zation depends on the skill set
of the people working in the
organization. If a person
with a correct skill set takes
the organization in the right
direction, then the organiza-
tion and employees are opti-
mally developed. Sometimes
it happens that the turnover
of the company increases,
but the system and talent
management practice in the
company is negligible and
there is a time when the com-
pany is likely to fall from its
employees’ salaries and other
expenses. The companies
who can organize their hu-
man resource in proper way
have a strong foundation.
Recently, the world’s lead-
ing company E Y surveyed
on the company’s Talent
Management and how they
can grow by organizing it in
correct way. In this survey,
the world’s top 600 officials
took part. These officials
came out with beautiful
things in the discussion. The
organization which will give
more freedom to the employ-
ees to work will grow more
than others. The officials fur-
ther stated that every organi-
zation should develop meth-
od or systems so that each
employee can work with
their own responsibility
. Eve-
ry employee must know ex-
actly what type of work they
are doing and how they want
to contribute to the company
at the end of the year. Also
the organization which does
not give freedom to its em-
ployees for decision making
does not grow very quickly
.
The second thing in this
survey that came out was
that a very few companies
are involved in talent man-
agement related programs or
investments and due to this
reason the company’s growth
in manufacturing is less. As
a result, there are lot of peo-
ple in the organization but
the lack of proper planning
does not benefit the organiza-
tion very much. Only 10% of
the companies have a scheme
to give opportunities to its
present employees rather
than appointing new people.
Doing this gives new oppor-
tunities to the employees
working from a long time
who have contributed more
in the development of the or-
ganization.
More than 54% of the offi-
cials said in this survey that
just 43% of companies have a
strong pipeline to create fu-
ture leadership talent and
38% of the companies have
the eligibility metrics for se-
lecting their organization’s
leadership candidates. Few
companies focus on skill ori-
ented leaders. Only 26% of
companies have met the crite-
ria to select effective leaders
for their organization. Due to
these stats we now come to
know that how much a com-
pany is serious in talent man-
agement and acquisition.
Studying in depth knowl-
edge of talent management,
we get an indication that em-
ployees can give a very im-
portant contribution in the
growth of a company
. Taking
from the workforce planning,
making right choice in em-
ployees and till the employee
come on board the company
has to properly induct them
about the organization, their
role-based responsibility has
to be decided and efforts need
to be made continuously to
make them contribute to the
company. If this whole sys-
tem is not done with a good
work plan then a person will
only be recruited in the com-
pany but will not make any
special contribution. It the
company wants to develop
than the company has to un-
derstand the flow and follow
it accordingly
.
Talent Management is an
important factor playing in
the organization’s growth. If
you want to develop an or-
ganization, then you have to
develop employees.
TIPS FOR TALENT
MANAGEMENT....

z If the employees consider
themselves as partners to the
company, and that kind of
environment is developed than
the company is certainly going
to develop, grow and make
more profits. The company’s
management has to make
certain efforts to create such
an environment.

z Every employee working in
the company has to contribute
in the development of their
organization. You and your
company will grow in partner-
ship if you contribute well in
the company’s growth.

z Organizations must have vari-
ous programs related to Talent
Management. These programs
should be more dependent on
employee’s contribution to the
organization.

z Changing the mental attitude
of employees has become
very important in today’s
environment. Regular training
programs should be organized
periodically.

z The leaders working in the or-
ganization has great responsi-
bilities. It’s the leader who has
to make sure that he and his
team give maximum contribu-
tion to the organization.

Reacting to the inci-
dent, Chief Minister
Jai Ram Thakur said it
was very unfortunate
that Khalistan flags
were tied outside Vid-
han Sabha complex at
Dharamsala. He said a
case has been regis-
tered and police au-
thorities have been di-
rected to nab the cul-
prits as soon as possi-
ble. The Chief Minister
said the miscreants
would be exposed
soon,” said the CM.
“After police investi-
gation it would be clear
who were behind this
mischief. The offend-
ers would be dealt
strictly,” he added.
Kangra SP Khushal
Sharma said the inci-
dent might have hap-
pened in the late night
or early morning on
Sunday. “We have re-
moved the Khalistani
flags from Vidhan Sab-
ha gate. We are invest-
ing and have registered
a case,” he added.
As the issue gathered
steam and invited po-
litical reactions, an SIT
was directed to probe
the incident.

husband. Kumar is in
the custody of ED for
five days.

deposits — to the tune
of Rs 1.43 crore — over
and above her salary in
their accounts, during
the period she faced
charges of irregulari-
ties while being posted
as the DM of various
districts in the state,
the ED has said.

legedly transferred Rs
16.57 lakh from her
“personal account” to
those controlled or
owned by her CA Su-
man Kumar.

“honest man”, Con-
gress leader Navjot
Singh Sidhu on Sun-

MLA Basanagouda Pa-
til Yatnal’s claims that
he was approached by
some people, offering
the state Chief Minis-
ter’s position, in ex-
change for ₹ 2,500 crore.
The Congress Legis-
lature Party (CLP)

that Mr Bommai is
only following RSS’ in-
structions, as they
have made him the
Chief Minister.
“Basavaraj Bommai
is not an elected Chief
Minister, he is an ap-
pointed Chief Minis-
ter, so he is not doing
anything. He has given
money and become
Chief Minister, why
will he work? RSS has
made him Chief Minis-
ter, following their in-
structions is enough
for him,” Siddaramai-
ah alleged.

Kolkata/Bhubane-
swar: Cyclone Asani,
which has formed over
the southeast Bay of
Bengal, further intensi-
fied into a severe cy-
clonic storm on Sunday
evening as it moved
northwestwards in the
direction of north
Andhra Pradesh-Odis-
ha coasts, the Met de-
partment said.
The severe cyclone,
on reaching west-cen-
tral and adjoining
northwest Bay of Ben-
gal off north Andhra
Pradesh-Odisha coasts
on Tuesday, is very like-
ly to recurve north-
northeast wards and
move towards north-
west Bay of Bengal off
Odisha coast, it said.
The severe cyclonic
storm is very likely to
lose some steam there-
after and turn into a
cyclonic storm on
Wednesday and further
into a deep depression
on Thursday, the Met
department said in its
forecast of Asani’s
track and intensity
.
Stating that the sys-
tem will not make land-
fall either in Odisha or
Andhra Pradesh, India
Meteorological Depart-
ment (IMD) Director-
General Mrutunjay Mo-
haptra said the cyclone
will move parallel to the
east coast and cause
rainfall from Tuesday
evening.Odisha’s Spe-
cial Relief Commission-
er (SRC) PK Jena said
the state government
has made adequate ar-
rangement for rescue
operations.
“We do not see any
big danger in the state
as the system will pass
around 100 kilometer
off the coast near Puri,”
he said. However, res-
cue teams of NDRF,
ODRAF and Fire Ser-
vices are on standby for
any eventuality
, he said.

Das, senior
scientist
New Delhi (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi is now the
template for what it
means and takes to be a
“national leader”, Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah has said, as-
serting that the label
was earlier handed out
to even politicians of no
proven merit and only
capable of winning
election from one or two
safe Lok Sabha seats.
While national lead-
ers were identified in
the immediate after-
math of the independ-
ence movement by their
“name recall” across
regions because of
their participation in
the freedom struggle, in
the latter decades, nota-
bly at the height of the
coalition era, the ex-
pression came to be
much abused, he said,
adding that Delhi media
generously distributed
the status to its “friends
and favourites”.
Writing in the book
“Modi@20 Dreams
MeetDelivery”,brought
out by Rupa Publica-
tions and to be launched
on May 11, Shah said
such “facile and insin-
cere manufacturing of
national leaders” was
shown up for what it
was after Modi led the
BJP to its biggest Lok
Sabha win in 2014 be-
fore repeating the feat
with a bigger margin in
2019.
A confidant of the
Prime Minister for over
three decades, Shah
wrote that the best
teacher for a leader is
“travelling to ordinary
places, meeting ordi-
nary families, sharing
ordinary experiences,
and doing all this by or-
dinary means.”
“Narendra Modi has
done so with greater
frequency and perse-
verance than any poli-
tician in the past 75
years,” he said, adding
that before the 2014 and
the 2019 polls, there
had been “no mandate
for hope; and no man-
date that was simply a
reward for tested per-
formance”.
Amit Shah said par-
ties and Prime Minis-
ters won majorities be-
tween 1952 and 1984 on
the basis of the good-
will of the freedom
movement, family lega-
cy, anger against the
incumbent (1977), a mix
of fear and sympathy
(1984) with appease-
ment, sectional preju-
dice, vote bank mobili-
sation and empty slo-
ganeering like ‘Garibi
Hatao’ of 1971.
Everybody now rec-
ognises that the 2014
polls marked the most
decisive shift in the his-
tory of Indian politics,
Amit Shah wrote.

commercial vehicle in-

grow in double-digits
this fiscal, driven by
favourable demand
conditions amid accel-
erated economic activi-
ties, although high fuel
prices and increase in
interest rates on vehi-
cle loans are head-
winds, according to
Tata Motors Executive
Director Girish Wagh.
The commercial ve-
hicles segment, which
saw its peak in 2018-19,
with industry volumes
of over 10 lakh units,
went into a downturn
in the following two fis-
cal years, has begun to
pick up momentum
from the last financial
year. While it may take
longer to reach the
highest volumes again,
in terms of payload,
the industry could
reach the previous
peak sooner amid ris-
ing demand for com-
mercial vehicles (CVs)
with higher payloads.
“I think last year, the
economy started doing
well again and we saw
growth in the commer-
cial vehicle market by
around 26 per cent. We
(Tata Motors) have
grown by 33 per cent.
We have done better
than the industry,”
Wagh told PTI. In the
context of the last three
years, he said, “FY19,
was our previous peak,
when the commercial
vehicle industry vol-
umes crossed 1 million
(units). After that, we
have had two years of
downtime. FY20, which
was the year of prepar-
ing for BS-VI transition
and FY21, which was
the year of COVID, if I
may say so. In both
these years, the market
dropped and FY21 vol-
umes were almost 52
per cent of FY19 vol-
umes.”

Elon Musk to invest in
India to manufacture
Tesla electric cars, say-
ing it will be the best
investment he would
have ever made.
Musk in the past had
asked India to reduce
import duties to sell Te-
sla electric cars but the
government has insist-
ed on local manufactur-
ing. In a post on
Twitter, tag-
ging Musk,
Poonawalla
said, “...
Just in case
you don’t
end up buying @Twit-
ter, do look at investing
some of that capital in
INDIA for high-quality
large-scale manufactur-
ing of @Tesla cars.” He
further said, “I assure
you this will be the best
investment you’ll ever
make.” Last month, Un-
ion Minister Nitin Gad-
kari had said if Tesla
was ready to manufac-
ture its elec-
tric
vehicles in India then
there was ‘no problem’
but the company must
not import cars from
China. In August last
year, Musk had said
that American electric
vehicle maker Tesla
may set up manufactur-
ing unit in India if it
first succeeds with im-
ported vehicles in the
country
.
He had said Tesla
wanted to launch
its vehicles in In-
dia “but im-
port duties
are the high-
est in the

of any large

crore from selling its
stake in the insurance
business to pare debt,
which may save the

cent stake of the Gen-
eral insurance busi-
ness for another `1,250
crores to another en-
tity,” a source said.
Mumbai (PTI): Fi-
nance Minister Nirma-
la Sitharaman has said
the recent interest rate
hike by the Reserve
Bank was not surpris-
ing for her but the tim-
ing was, asserting that
the rising cost of funds
will not impact the gov-
ernment’s planned in-
frastructure invest-
ments.
“The timing of RBI’s
rate hike came as a sur-
prise but not the action
itself as people thought
it should have been
done anyway….It came
as a surprise because
it’s between the two
MPCs (monetary policy
committee) meetings.
But the US Fed had been
saying it all the while,”
Sitharaman said in her
first reaction to the rate
hike while addressing
an award function or-
ganised by the Econom-
ic Times on Saturday
evening here.
She said that in the
last MPC meeting, the
RBI gave indications
that it’s time for them to
also act, and the hike
was part of a synchro-
nised action by major
central banks across
the globe.

New Delhi (PTI):
Foreign investors

eign Portfolio Inves-

sellers for seven
months to April 2022,
withdrawing a mas-
sive amount of over
`1.65 lakh crore from

largely on the back
of anticipation of a

Global factors, macro data, earnings
to drive market trends this week
New Delhi (PTI): Glob-
al markets trends, infla-
tion, release of indus-
trial output data and
quarterly earnings will
dictate movement of
the equity benchmarks
this week, analysts
said, adding that vola-
tility might continue
amid slew of announce-
ments of macroeco-
nomic data at the global
level too.
Moreover, foreign
fund movement, crude
oil prices and trend in
rupee would also act as
major drivers for the
equity market, they
added. “The direction
of global equity mar-
kets along with move-
ment in dollar index
and crude oil prices will
continue to dominate
while inflation num-
bers of the USA on May
11 and inflation and IIP
numbers of India on
May 12 will also cause
volatility in the mar-
ket,” said Santosh Mee-
na. He said the last
batch of fourth quarter
earnings will have a
stock-specific move-
ment with SBI among
the key results slated to

Lower taxes on hybrid cars can help
faster adoption of EVs in India: Honda
New Delhi (PTI):
Lowering taxes on hy-
brid vehicles can lead
to faster adoption of
electric vehicles in the
country, according to a
senior official of Hon-
da Cars India Ltd
(HCIL). The automak-
er noted that hybrid
technology is current-
ly best suited for Indi-
an conditions as it is
not dependent on ex-
ternal charging infra-
structure. The total tax
incidence on hybrid
vehicles in the country
is 43 per cent, which is
inclusive of GST, while
battery electric vehi-
cles attract a tax of
about 5 per cent.
“There is a big gap (in
taxes). So, yes it would
be a welcome step if
the government could
support us (by reduc-
ing tax on hybrid vehi-
cles as well) ...We re-
quest the government
if they could consider
it,” Honda Cars India
Ltd Vice-President
(Marketing and Sales)
Kunal Behl told PTI.
He further said: “We
believe if they (govern-
ment) can reduce it,
the adoption of the
electric vehicles would
be very fast.”

Nagpur: President
Ram Nath Kovind on
Sunday said the foray of
unicorns and start-ups
into sectors like educa-
tion and health can be a
game-changer for the
country
.
He was addressing a
gathering, after inaugu-
rating the permanent
campus of the Indian
Institute of Manage-
ment (IIM), Nagpur. The
premier institute was
established in 2015.
“An educational insti-
tute is not just a place of
learning, but which pol-
ishes the inner and
sometimes even hidden
talents in each one of
us. The curriculum
gives us the occasion to
introspect within our-
selves the purpose, the
ambition and hence, ful-
fil our dreams,” he said.
Lauding new start-
ups in the country
, Pres-
ident Kovind stated,
“We are living in an era
where innovation and
entrepreneurship are
appreciated and encour-
aged. The stories of
various unicorns or
start-ups which have
been slated to be worth
more than one billion
have scripted new his-
tory. It has opened new
avenues as new sectors
are coming under the
loop of business enter-
prises.”
From food delivery to
picking up odd things,
all such services are
provided by start-ups
and app-based plat-
forms, he noted.
“The unexplored ter-
ritories like education,
and health have also be-
come part of these new
enterprises. Such forays
can be a game-changer
for our country
. It can be
a combination of job
provider and revenue
earner for our people,”
said the president.
Kovind also said that
both innovation and en-
trepreneurship have the
ability to not just ease
people’s lives through
technology
, but can also
provide employment op-
portunities to many
..
Addressing the stu-
dents, the president told
them that they live in an
interconnected world
and will soon be globe-
trottersasprofessionals.
“However, in this pur-
suit, never forget the
spirit and ethics of our
country
. You would be
the emissaries of Indian
culture and wisdom
around the world and
your performance
would be the standard
set for the entire coun-
try
,” said Kovind.
He also appreciated
the IIM Nagpur’s Foun-
dationforEntrepreneur-
ship Development pro-
gramme, which has suc-
cessfullyenabledwomen
entrepreneurs to gradu-
ate, and six of them have
even launched their en-
terprises.
“Such programmes
provideaneffectiveplat-
form for women empow-
erment. I strongly be-
lieve that our daughters,
whenever provided an
adequate platform, al-
ways shine to the opti-
mum. It is a true tribute
to the land of Savitribai
PhuleandDrAnandibai
Joshi, who were the first
few stalwarts in the field
of education and medi-
cine,” he said.

Committee President
Nana Patole said that
the real culprit behind
the phone tapping
should be revealed.
Speaking to the me-
dia, Patole said, “Dur-
ing the Devendra Fad-
navis government,
phone tapping of politi-
cal leaders was done.
The phone was illegally
tapped by the then intel-
ligence commissioner
Rashmi Shukla. This
was done only out of po-
litical hatred.”
“My reply was re-
corded today by a sen-
ior police officer in the
phone tapping case.
They listened to my
phone recording, it was
my voice. My role in
this recording was
about the peasant move-
ment. This was in oppo-
sition to the wrong pol-
icy of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. This
will be recorded in the
charge sheet in court.
While tapping this
phone, the reason given
was that he was doing
drug business under
the name of Amjad
Khan,” he said.
“I have only one
phone number and I
have not done anything
wrong in my political
and social life, so there
is no reason to be
afraid. Twice phone
tapping was allowed for
the wrong reason. I am
confident that the real
culprit behind this
should be revealed and
I believe it will come
out of the inquiry,”
added Patole.

DIET TO BEAT
THE HEAT
he summer season
has arrived, and
the scorching sun
rays have started
affecting our
health. With the
mercury reaching
an all-time high, we need to
make changes in our diet to
cope with the high temper-
atures. The food and drink
that we consume during
the summer play an impor-
tant role to help us protect
ourselves from heat-related
health issues like dehydra-
tion, indigestion, food poi-
soning and heat stroke.
While certain foods help to
keep the summer heat in
check, others can worsen
the condition. Therefore, a
need arises to exclude foods
that may adversely affect
our health during summer.
VYOMA
AGARWAL
Food and Nutrition expert
T
Curd and Butter
Milk– Both these foods
have a cooling effect and
are packed with calcium,
and protein and contain
probiotics which are
good bacteria in our gut
that keep the body cool
and aid indigestion.
Curd can be consumed
as such with main meals
or as a snack by adding
fresh vegetables or fruits
to it. The addition of
fresh mint leaves, cumin
powder and black salt to
the buttermilk enhances
the beneficial effects and
taste as well.
Fresh Summer Fruits–
There are a variety of
fruits available in sum-
mers like watermelon,
musk melon, papaya,
plums, apricots, cher-
ries, mango, and orang-
es. Fruits have an abun-
dance of water content
and are a powerhouse of
vitamins, minerals and
fibre. These fruits can be
consumed whole as such
or as juices. They can be
a healthy alternative to
desserts as well. Milk-
shakes prepared using
fruits are everyone’s fa-
vourite.
Fresh Summer Veg-
etables– Summer vege-
tables like bottle gourd,
cucumber, snake gourd,
pumpkin, tomato etc.
have a hydrating effect
on the body. They are a
rich source of antioxi-
dants which prevent cel-
lular damage due to the
intense heat of the sun.
Vegetables also contain
minerals, vitamins and
fibrewhichhelpimprove
heart health, and gut
health and add satiety.
Tomatoes offer extra
protection from the sun
as they contain lycopene
which prevents sun-
burn. The best way to
include these vegetables
is by preparing the veg-
etable dish, salads or
vegetable juices. Cooling
herbs like mint and cori-
ander can also be con-
sumed as chutneys.
Lemon water– It is the
most common summer
drink. The natural anti-
oxidants and antibacte-
rial properties of lemon
help fight infections, es-
pecially viral fevers and
common colds that are
common during the sum-
mer. Drinking lemon wa-
ter can also help prevent
skin damage caused by
sunrays.Addthejuiceof
one or two lemons to a
glass of water and add a
pinch of roasted cumin
powder, mint leaves and
black salt to it for a salty
taste. Sugar can be added
for sweetness.
Coconut Water– Co-
conut water is the best
summer drink provided
by nature. It is packed
with nutrients like cal-
cium, potassium, and
magnesium and replen-
ishes the body with the
nutrients lost due to
sweating and dehydra-
tion. It also helps to neu-
tralize the acid levels in
the stomach due to its
alkaline nature.
Sprouts– A variety of
sprouts can be prepared
at home like green gram,
chana, moth, fenugreek
seeds etc. Sprouts are
easy to digest and con-
tain high amounts of
water and nutrients.
They help prevent dam-
age to skin and hair dur-
ing summer. They can be
eaten alone or in the
form of salad with other
vegetables. They are a
tasty way of beating the
summer blues.
Amla is the richest
source of vitamin C
which is a collagen
booster, especially bene-
fits the heart and hair,
and reverses the ageing
effects caused by strong
sun rays. They can be
consumed raw, cooked or
as amla juice. They are a
healthy and tasty hydra-
tion option.
FOODS TO BE
AVOIDED
Tea and coffee- Avoid
or minimize the con-
sumption of hot bever-
ages like tea or coffee as
they tend to increase the
overall temperature of
the body and can have a
dehydrating effect on the
body
.
Fried and junk food-
Fried and junk foods can
dehydrate the body and
are difficult to digest in
the summer.

Hot and Spicy Foods-
Spices like chilli, nut-
meg, pepper, ginger and
cinnamon should be
used sparingly in sum-
mer as they boost the
rate of metabolism and
have a thermogenic ef-
fect on the body and may
cause an upset stomach
in summer.
Sugary cold drinks
and packaged juic-
es-Most packaged juices
and cold drinks contain
excessive amounts of
sugar, which may in-
crease your energy tem-
porarily but dehydrate
your body and affect the
kidneys.
Hence, fresh, seasonal
and easily digestible
food is the key to the se-
lection of foods for the
seasonof summer.Small
and frequent meals
should be consumed in-
stead of large heavy
meals as they are diffi-
cult to digest and lead to
laziness and bloating.
The fluid intake needs to
be increased to stay hy-
drated. It is also advisa-
ble to drink water
frequently
.
