Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: It has not
been long since the re-
bellion in Rajasthan,
when an attempt was
made to destabilise the
Gehlotgovernment,and
nowyetanotherattempt
hasbeenmadetothwart
the credibility of Gehlot
government by hatch-
ing a criminal conspira-
cy and linking the Hath-
ras gangrape and mur-
der to Rajasthan.
The ‘relevant’ politi-
cal circles in the desert
state are abuzz with the
word that few BJP lead-
ers in Jaipur and New
Delhi and also one or
two renowned Congress
rebels as well as a sec-
tion of powerful media
in Jaipur and New Del-
hi, are also behind this
attempt to malign the
government. It is said
that these individuals
have a knack for creat-
ing such troubles for
the ruling dispensation
and now they are trying
to link Hathras with
rape incidents in Baran
and Sawai Madhopur.
However, apparently,
more than the principal
opposition party - BJP
- a few disgruntled Con-
gress leaders, in close
association with media
are seen to be a part of
this exercise.
Truth be told, there is
not even a remote con-
nection between Baran
and Sawai Madhopur
incidents yet attempts
are being made. In the
horrific Hathras inci-
dent, the dalit girl was
gang raped, her tongue
cut off and later she was
murdered. After this,
the UP Police, at dead of
night, conducted the
cremation of the girl
and not even the family
of the victim was al-
lowed to see her. When
Rahul and Priyanka
were going to meet the
family members, they
were stopped in Greater
Noida and manhandled
by the cops.
However, in a com-
plete departure to the
‘handling’ of the matter
by the UP government,
in Rajasthan, Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
gave an open invitation
to opposition leaders
both from state capital
as well as national capi-
tal to visit Baran and
find the truth for them-
selves. Gehlot went on
to stress that the secu-
rity of any visiting
leader would be the re-
sponsibility of the state
government.

matter, Turn on P6

The visit, involving a

fused to let Gandhi pass,

UP CM YOGI ADITYANATH
RECOMMENDS CBI PROBE
Lucknow: The alleged rape and murder of a 20-year-old
woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras will be investigated
by the CBI, the Yogi Adityanath government said this
evening. “Chief Minister @myogiadityanath Ji has
ordered the CBI to conduct a probe into
the entire Hathras case,” the UP Chief
Minister’s office tweeted. The ruling
BJP, which is under pressure over its
apparent inability to prevent horrific
crimes against women - at least
two more assaults and rapes
have been reported from the
state since the Hathras case -
had earlier dismissed pro-
tests by the opposition
as a “political stunt”.

Jaipur: Targeting the
Ashok Gehlot led Con-
gress government on
law and order, BJP state
president Satish Poonia
on Saturday said that
the state has become a
capital of crimes where
the criminals are roam-
ing free and crime
against women has in-
creased.
He said that the par-
ty will hold a ‘Halla
Bol’ demonstration at
the district headquar-
ters on October 5. “The
rate of crime against
women has increased.
This is not a mere po-
litical allegation but
the data of NCRB,”
Poonia said.
He said that in the last
20 months, during the
rule of Ashok Gehlot,
the graph of crime in-
creased. Gehlot, who
holds the home portfo-
lio, has failed in con-
trolling the crime in
the state, he tweeted.
Poonia said that
during the ‘Halla Bol’
protests, the party will
seek intervention of
the Governor for doing
a review of the poor
law and order in the
state. Deputy leader of
opposition Rajendra
Rathore asked when
the state government
will wake up. “The
state government has
failed in controlling
the crime against
women like rape, ab-
duction and murder,”
he said.

Jaipur: Taking a sar-
castic dig at the State
Government’s claim of
fulfilling 252 electoral
promises in 21 months,
MP, state gen secy, Diya
Kumari said, the state
has been plagued by
Corona for the last 6
months. If you remove
the days of holidays,
festivals and code of
conduct from the re-
maining 15 months,
then only 12 months
are left. Meaning every
one and half-day gov-
ernment fulfilled a
promise. The govt
should stop showing
dreams in daylight to
public.
She added, neither
the loan of farmers
was waived nor any
work of the public was
done. Instead, electric
bills increased, the sub-
sidy of the ‘gaushalas’
was stopped and the
borders were sealed.
Achievement for govt
is that legislators have
learned to make Italian
dishes and crime have
set a record.
Whereas deputy lead-
er of opposition Rajen-
dra Rathore said that
the government has in-
sulted Mahatma Gan-
dhi by releasing a re-
port card full of lies on
the birth anniversary
of Gandhi.
“Congress has pre-
sented an imaginary
claim that 252 of the
total 501 promises of
the election manifesto
have been fulfilled but
the reality is that not
even 5 percent promis-
es have been fulfilled
so far,” he said in a
statement.
He also targeted the
government over the
claim of waiving farm-
ers’ loan saying the
false claim will only
pain farmers.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: The National
Commission for Wom-
en (NCW) members
Shyamla S Kunder
and Raju Desai have
reached Jaipur to
look into 16 cases of
rapes in the state.
Kunder said that
NCW had discussed
the cases with state
DGP through VC and
had asked for an ‘ac-
tion taken’ report. She
said the team had
come to the state after
it didn’t receive the
report from the DGP,
which is worrisome.
NCW members said
that there are some
cases not registered
by the state police,
which are not on re-
cord. They said people
hesitate in getting
their cases registered
due to fear of blow
back from the power-
ful perpetrators of
crime against women.
Rajul Desai raised
questions on the atti-
tude of state govt, that
stops them from talk-
ing to media giving
section 144 as the rea-
son. Desai counter
questioned the state
ministers participat-
ing in various public
functions despite sec-
tion 144. She said the
mere arrests of the
accused was of no sig-
nificance in rape cas-
es and the fast-tracked
justice is of ultimate
importance. She de-
clared that the daugh-
ters of the state were
unsafe.
The NCW members
met DGP Bhupendra
Singh and raised
questions on the
working of the police
in the rape cases.
They also expressed
dissatisfaction on
pending appoint-
ments to the State
Women Commission.
Members told the
DGP that after UP, Ra-
jasthan was next in
crime against women.
Later, the NCW mem-
bers also met PS

News “town
h a l l ” - s t y l e
event, US Presi-
dent Donald Trump told
host George Stephanopou-
los that without a vaccine,
COVID-19 would still “go
away.” Over time, Trump
said, “You’ll develop herd
– like a herd mentality. It’s
going to be – it’s going to be
herd-developed, and that’s
going to happen.”
What Trump was refer-
ring to, and misnamed, is
herd immunity, which a
population develops when
so many of its members are
infected by or vaccinated
against a given contagion
that a bulwark of resist-
ance counters the conta-
gion’s spread. But to base a
pandemic-response strate-
gy on the assumption that
herd immunity is inevita-
ble – vaccine or no vaccine
– is to afford a virus a path
of least resistance. That
was the case in Sweden,
where policymakers decid-
ed to forego lockdowns and
business closures in favor
of more lenient advisories
on mask-wearing and so-
cial distancing.
Unsurprisingly, Swe-
den’s subsequent COVID-19
infection and fatality rates
were among the world’s
highest. Moreover, the
Swedish economy contract-
ed by 8.6% in the second
quarter of 2020 compared
to the previous three
months – an important out-
come to note given the em-
phasis that many propo-
nents of herd immunity
place on reviving economic
growth. One such support-
er is Scott Atlas, a recently
appointed pandemic advis-
er to Trump who has advo-
catedfortheso-calledSwed-
ish model on Fox News.
“We like the fact that
there’s a lot of cases,” At-
las said in one interview.
“That’s exactly how we’re
going to get herd immuni-
ty, population immunity.”
Although Atlas has no epi-
demiological credentials
or experience, he does
seem to have the ear of the
president – as evidenced by
the latter’s remarks on
“herd mentality.” On Au-
gust 31, Trump made simi-
larly pointed – yet evasive
– comments to Fox News’s
Laura Ingraham. “Once
you get to a certain num-
ber, we use the word herd,
right?” he said. “Once you
get to a certain number, it’s
going to go away.”
With SARS-CoV and
MERS-CoV, the culprits of
the last two lethal corona-
virus epidemics, long-term
research was too sparse
and underfunded to verify
their capacity for reinfec-
tion. But two scientific
case studies – one on a pa-
tient in Hong Kong, and
another (still undergoing
peer review) on a patient
in Nevada – have already
confirmed that the SARS-
CoV-2 virus that causes
COVID-19 can reinfect an
individual.
These studies show that
our immunity to coronavi-
ruses is alarmingly short-
lived and quick to fade – a
disappearing act that
makes building protection
to SARS-CoV-2 difficult
enough for an individual,
much less an entire popula-
tion.
“The White House is no
longer even recommend-
ing that states do things to
stop the spread of this vi-
rus – things that just weeks
ago they were telling the
states they needed to do,”
Maddow said. “When it’s
not just what [Trump] is
saying, but what he’s do-
ing, we have to recognize
this as a huge deal.”

IN COVID-19 VACCINE
LIES PEOPLE’S HOPE
ith POTUS Donald Trump in the hospi-
tal with fever and breathing trouble af-
ter testing positive for Covid, efforts for
an early vaccine against the virus have
been intensified. President Trump had
repeatedly said that a vaccine will be ready for ap-
proval before the November 3 US elections. It
seems that the American pharma company Pfizer
could be in the final stages of data analysis, al-
though an apprehensive group of 60 American
scientists and health experts have urged Pfizer to
first meet safety standards before applying for
regulatory clearance.
Of the six vaccine candidates, including Pfiz-
er’s, Oxford University’s vaccine is also among the
front-runners. Its trial was briefly put on hold af-
ter a participant in the trial fell ill. Having over-
come the hurdle the vaccine, it was reported, could
be ready in the next three months with regulators
approving it by early next year. The European
Medicines Agency (EMA) has already started a
real-time review of data of the Oxford vaccine
trial. The vaccine is being co-produced by Astra-
Zeneca. The EMA real-time monitoring of data
means that the Oxford vaccine could be the first to
enter the European market.
After the setback in Britain Oxford vaccine trials
were halted in India as well, although they had been
running smoothly. Trials are now being done for the
vaccine’s safety and efficacy on about 30,000 partici-
pants from the UK, South Africa, Brazil, and India.
With Covid cases being reported from several
countries of the world and the fear of a second
phase of the virus, people’s hopes rest on the avail-
ability of a vaccine.

IN-DEPTH
CONGRESS SCORES
OVER YOGI GOVT
he ham-handed manner in which dis-
trict officials of Hathras handled the
alleged suicide and murder of a teen-
aged Dalit girl has left the Yogi Adity-
anath government has been left with egg
on its face. The embarrassment is more than when
infants died in the BRD Medical College due to lack
of oxygen supply in 2017 or when a Hindu outfit’s
workers led by Yogesh Raj and others shot dead
Inspector Subodh Kumar Singh in Bulandshahr in
2018. Yogi was then concerned more about the
cows, which were rumoured to have been slaugh-
tered, than the killing of a senior police officer. In
Gorakhpur Yogi made a scapegoat out of a Good
Samaritan and in the case of Bulandshahr the po-
lice officer’s widow couldn’t protest beyond a
point. Hathras’ case, however, is different.
Yogi may have been adjudged the best chief min-
ister in the country by a magazine but incidents
like Hathras show him as insensitive towards cul-
tural, religious, and emotional sensibilities. Had
this not been the case he would have suspended the
DM and SP of Hathras when they forcibly cremat-
ed the girl’s body at night and treated the hapless
family as terrorists.
The Congress has exploited the issue to its advan-
tage while the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Sama-
jwadi Party were conspicuous by their absence.
Even if it is short-lived, Priyanka Gandhi and Ra-
hulGandhiwonabigpoliticalvictoryastheyforced
the UP government to allow them to proceed to
Hathrasandmeetthebereavedfamilywhichinsists
that they were being forced to toe the official line.
T
first met the mat-
inee idol, Dev
Anand, in 1962 in
the United Na-
tions Delegates
Lounge. I recog-
nized him. I was having coffee
with some of my friends. I was
the only Indian in the group.
Dev Anand came up to me, “I
am Dev Anand, I am looking
for Mr Natwar Singh”. “You
are talking to him. How did
you trace me”, I asked. “ I
called our Consulate. They
said I would be at the UN”
“What can I do for you Mr
Anand”. He said he wanted a
favour from you. I was natu-
rally surprised. “Go ahead”, I
said. “I would be most obliged
if you could give me a letter of
introduction to R.K Narayan. I
was told he is a friend of
yours.” I confessed that RK
Narayan and I were close
friends. “I will certainly do so.
Why do you wish to meet him.”
“ I want to get his permission
to make a film of his novel
“The Guide”. They met in Ban-
galore. A deal was struck. The
film was a big hit. Waheeda
Rehman was the heroine. Dev
the hero.
We now come to 1969. I was
then working in Indira Gan-
dhi’s Secretariat. It was late
summer. My office telephone
rang, “Natwarji, this is Dev
speaking. I am in Delhi, I want
to meet Indiraji. I need your
help.” He and I had met only
once. “she is extremely busy”.
“I only will take a few minutes.
I want to invite her to see my
new film “Prem Pujari” I will
arrange a special hall for her”.
“Devji this is a tall order, but I
will try.”
I spoke to Prime Minister.
She had met him during her
father’s time. “I will see him on
Saturday before lunch here in
South block. Not more than ten
minutes.” On the appointed
time on Saturday, I received
Dev Anand at gate number one
of South Block. I do vaguely
remember his attire. It was
non-filmy. The Prime Minister
was her charming self. About
watching the film, she said she
would think about it. Natwar
will let you know”
When the Prime Minister
and Dev Anand came out of her
office the corridors were full
with the staff and officers to
watch the Prime Minister
walking with Dev Anand. Obvi-
ously, word had got round
about the meeting.
As she was entering her car
she said to me, “Natwar you see
the film and let me know what
you think of it.”
Dev was naturally disap-
pointed when the Prime Minis-
ter’s schedule prevented her to
watch “Prem Pujari”. I told the
Prime Minister I liked the film
“but you will not”.
In 1975 London, Dev met me
at a well-known restaurant and
let me have it. He was in a foul
mood, “How can Jawaharlal
Nehru’s daughter do this to our
country. How can you defend
the Emergency? When I get
back to Bombay I shall start an
agitation against Indira Gan-
dhi. “Have you finished”, I
asked. He kept quiet. “I am not
enjoying what is happening. I
wrote to the Prime Minister. I
know what to say to our critics.
I do not know what to say to our
friends. It was impossible to
sell the emergency in England.
I got no reply.” The meeting
ended on a sour note.

‘Ready to waive interest ‘on
interest’ during moratorium’
New Delhi: Compound
interest accrued during
the six-month morato-
rium on repayment of
loans up to Rs two crore
taken by individuals
and MSME will be
waived, the Centre told
the Supreme Court in
an affidavit on Friday.
The moratorium was
announced as part of
measures to mitigate
economic hardships
caused by the Covid-19
pandemic and the lock-
down imposed to check
its spread in March.
The government made
the announcement in
the affidavit as a bunch
of petitions seeking a
waiver of accrual of in-
terest for the moratori-
um period are pending
before the court.
The affidavit, however,
said the waiver on con-
tractual interest on
loans cannot be waived
as it will lead to a huge
financial burden on
banks estimated to be
more than Rs 6 lakh
crore. “Union of India
has decided to continue
the tradition of hand-
holding the small bor-
rowers. The Govern-
ment has decided that
the relief on waiver of
compound interest dur-
ing the six-month mora-
torium period (March
1-August 31) shall be
limited to the most vul-
nerable category of bor-
rowers.”
The waiver will apply to
MSME/entity or indi-
viduals, who have taken
below Rs 2 crore educa-
tion loans, housing
loans, consumer dura-
ble loans, auto loans,
personal loans, profes-
sional, etc.

cision was taken in the
interest of borrowers
and the banks, which

try, Mr Satyarthi said
he implores the Prime
Minister to lead the war
on rape.
“What is happening
to our daughters across
India is a matter of na-
tional shame. It is my
humble appeal to our
Hon’ble Prime Minister
- the nation looks to you
- to end this crisis of jus-
tice for our women and
children. I implore you
to lead the war on rape.
Our daughters need
you, and we are all with
you,” he told news agen-
cy Press Trust of India.
Calling for a people’s
movement to break
“this mindset” of vio-
lence, Satyarthi said we
need both compassion-
ate political will and
people’s action to bring
an end to the culture of
rape. —PTI

URGES PM MODI TO END ‘CRISIS OF
JUSTICE’ FOR WOMEN, CHILDREN
‘OUR DAUGHTERS
NEED YOU’

INDIAJAIPUR | SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2020
CM Gehlot...
few individuals from his
own party are bent to
malign the government,
even when both the girls
have said in their state-
ment before the magis-
trate that they have not
been raped. However, as
soon as this develop-
ment came to be, the
‘destabilizing game 2.0’
being played by the saf-
fron party and also a ‘se-
lect few’ of the grand old
party was exposed and
as a result, failed.
No force...
A similarly dramatic
face-off seemed in store
on Saturday as Gandhi
set off from Delhi at
around 2.30 pm in a sil-
ver Toyota Innova that
Priyanka was driving.
Their convoy consisted
of around 30 Congress
MPs, including Shashi
Tharoor. Hathras is
around 200 km from
Delhi.
“Nothing in the world
can stop me from going
to Hathras to meet this
unhappy family to share
their pain,” he said be-
fore leaving, while she
told news agency ANI:
“If not this time, then
we will try again”.
Victim’s family...
“Moreover, when we re-
quested for the post
mortem report, they
said you will not under-
stand it as you cannot
read English,” the
brother told ANI.
As per a source from
the family, though the
SIT investigation was
going on the team did
not visit their house or
talk to them yesterday.
They had talked to them
earlier.
The SIT team spoke
with other people of the
village yesterday.
The family com-
plained that they have
not been allowed to go
out of the house for the
last two days and there
isaconstantpresenceof
police personnel in the
house all the time.
“We were not allowed
to go outside our house
for the last two days. We
are still scared,” the
brother informed.
“We requested the po-
licemen to let us have
some privacy. They were
in the house all the time.
The administrative of-
ficers used to come in
and ask us to show our
phone. This was the
only communication we
hadwiththeouterworld
inthelasttwodays,”vic-
tim’s brother added.
Day after...

retaryAwanishAwasthi
repeatedly folded his
hands before the vic-
tim’s family with a large
number of reporters
around them; media
persons were allowed to
enter the village this
morning, 48 hours after
borders were sealed.
ACS Awanish Kumar
Awasthi said, “We have
spoken to the family
members and assured
them that we will inves-
tigate the case properly.
The Chief Minister has
already formed a special
investigation team and
a woman officer is also a
part of the team. The
first report will be out
on Sunday at 4 pm.”
The visit also comes a
day after an angry Alla-

Tejashwi to lead grand
alliance for Bihar pollsPatna: The opposition
Mahagathbandhan on
Saturday announced its
seat-sharing for Bihar
elections with RJD
leader Tejashwi Yadav
as its leader but differ-
ences cropped up as Vi-
kassheel Insaan Party
leader Mukesh Sahani
expressed dissatisfac-
tion with the seat allo-
cation and walked out
of the joint press con-
ference.
Congress leader Avi-
nash Pandey made the
announcement about
Tejashwi Yadav being
the face of the alliance
which is seeking to oust
the ruling NDA from
power in the state. “The
alliance is led by RJD
and its leader Tejashwi
Yadav will lead us. We
want Bihar to prosper
under the leadership of
Tejashwi Yadav,” he
said.
Apart from Pandey
and Tejashwi Yadav, the
press conference was
attended by RJD lead-
ers Tejpal Yadav and
Manoj Jha and leaders
from other parties in
the alliance.
Yadav announced the
seat allocation and said
Congress will contest 70
seats, Communist Party
of India (Marxist-Len-
inist) 19, Communist
Party of India-Marxist
(CPI-M) four and Com-
munist Party of India

left with RJD, we are in
talks with Jharkhand
Mukti Morcha(JMM)
and Vikassheel Insaan
Party (VIP), and what-
ever is finalised, we will
let you know in two to
three days,” Yadav said.
Sahani expressed dis-
appointment with the
arrangement and said
injustice has been done
to the most backward
classes in the state.
“This is like stabbing us
in the back,” he said
and walked out of the
press conference.
Tejashwi Yadav said
Congress will also con-
test the lone Lok Sabha
by-poll in the state from
Balmiki Nagar.
Bihar will go to the
polls on October 28, No-

deaths per million pop-
ulation, India is report-

the disease surged to
54,27,706, with 75,628 re-
covering in a span of 24
hours, pushing the na-

‘ Atal Tunnel to become
new lifeline for Ladakh’
Lahaul: The Atal Tun-
nel is part of the cen-
tral government’s
commitment to make
development reach
every corner and eve-
ry citizen of the coun-
try, said Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi
here on Saturday.
“Atal Tunnel is part
of the Centre’s commit-
ment to make develop-
ment reach every cor-
ner of the country. Ear-
lier, there were many
regions of the country,
which were left to fend
for themselves, it was
because of the simple
reason that these re-
gions did not fulfill the
political ambitions of
some people,” Modi
said speaking at a pub-
lic rally in Sissu, La-
haul Valley. The Prime
Minister was speaking
after inaugurating the
Atal Tunnel, earlier to-
day, in Rohtang.

DOWN-TO-EARTH PERSONA OF THE CM
When Prem Singh Tamang, Chief Minister of Sikkim saw Pawan
Chamling Ex-Chief Minister of Sikkim attending the session of
Sikkim Legislative Assembly, he went to greet and wish him. This
reflects the mannerism, culture, humility, egoless, and down-to-
earth persona of the CM.

PCC’S ‘CHAI PE
CHARCHA’!
The term ‘chai pe charcha’ was
first coined during the 2014
general election for BJP’s Prime
Ministerial candidate Narendra
Modi to symbolise not just Modi’s
humble beginnings, but also the
fact that tea is one of the most
preferred drink shared over talks
and gossips between two or more
individuals. While sipping tea and
talking about politics may be the
favourite past time of Indians, the
same tea takes on the different
‘color and flavor’ when it comes to
the political quarters and this could
be further explained by one incident
that recently occurred in PCC. A
small function had been organized
at the PCC recently here all senior
party members had assembled
to pay respects to departed past
leaders. After the function ended, a
handful of leaders including former
PCC Chief Sachin Pilot made way
to the current PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasara’s office. Being
his office and extending courtesy,
Dotasara asked Pilot if he would
like to have some tea as the men
hold a discussion. Pilot, known for
his rebellious nature, immediately
quipped, “You are never asked
about tea in PCC.” with this one line,
Pilot not only said that providing
tea to all without their asking for
it has been PCC way of extending
warmth to all and that by asking
for it Dotasara was breaking away
from the tradition. Second Pilot
also successfully made it clear that
he has been on the chair on which
Dotasara now sits and thus is fully
aware of the workings of the PCC.
Meanwhile, chief whip Dr Mahesh
Joshi who was also present in the
office immediately supported Pilot
on his comment and the three men
broke into a smile as a tray laden
with tea cups entered the room.”

PHED vigilance team raises
red flag over water tankNaresh Sharma
Jaipur: The controver-
sial case of an overhead
water tank in doctor’s
colony at DCM Ajmer
road is hitting the head-
lines once again. Soon
after the overhead tank
was constructed and
filled with water it was
leaking. The PHED vig-
ilance team on investi-
gation found four major
problems in the tank.
Firsly, there was leak-
age in the bottom, coni-
cal valve and vertical
wall of the tank. Sec-
ondly, the accused con-
tractor Kashmiri Lal
had not used the ap-
proved pump, soft seat-
ed valve, butterfly valve,
flow metre and water
level indicator. Thirdly,
the pipeline to the tank
was fitted without sec-
tional testing and was
found at much less than
the approved depth.
Fourthly, The work
was to be completed
within one year of the
work order released on
2nd July 2013 but was
unfinished until the in-
vestigation was done.
In the normal course
there had to be an action
against the guilty offic-
ers after the investiga-
tion report but since the
contractor was a rela-
tive of a, then in power,
BJP leader from Ganga-
nagar the matter was
dumped. The leakage
was stopped by using
chemicals and the pipe-
line was also declared to
be in perfect condition.

Jaipur. The
festive season
will officially
begin from 17th
October,the first day of
the Navratri although
the colour of the fes-
tivities might be faded
due to the ongoing co-
rona epidemic. For
starters the people will
have to miss out on
playing Garba and Dan-
diya during the
Navratri and this is be-
ing clearly reflected on
the air travel as well.
A large number of
people from Jaipur
travel to Kolkata
during Navratri for
Durga Puja and then
they come back to
Jaipur on Dussehra.
The current booking
data of the passen-
gers, to and fro Kol-
kata. is not at all en-
couraging.
According to airlines
there is only 25-30%
booking until now.
Normally, the people
travelling to Kolkata by
air for Durga Ashtami
book their tickets a
month prior to their
date of travel. The good
news for passengers is
that due to low booking
the airlines have also
kept the fares low and
there is hardly any pos-
sibility of the fares be-
ing increased in com-
ing days as well. The
bad news is that all the
airlines have pooled to-
gether and kept the
same air for similar
destinations. This will
not allow the passen-
gers to take the advan-
tage of competitive air-
fares.
But the solace is
that the fare is al-
ready low not only for
for Kolkata but other
cities as well. Since
the Dusshera is fall-
ing on a weekend the
airlines expect that
the Rajasthani people
living in Bengaluru,
Mumbai, Ahmedabad
and Pune might come
to Jaipur to celebrate
the festival due to low
fare. In all probabili-
ty the low fare situa-
tion will only last till
Dussehra as post
Dussehra all the air-
lines will increase
their fares for the Di-
wali rush.

Jaipur: Urban Development
and Housing Minister Shanti
Dhariwal on Saturday flagged
off the mask distribution van
of Rajasthan Housing Board to
the melodious sounds of tradi-
tional instruments of Ra-
jasthan from his official resi-
dence. Dhariwal appreciated
the efforts of this social con-
cern of the Housing Board and
called for other municipal bod-
ies to distribute masks on the
lines of Housing Board.
On this occasion, Dhariwal
said that vaccine has not yet
been introduced to prevent co-
rona infection, in which case
mask is the only protection.
“One crore masks will be dis-
tributed by the state govern-
ment under the mass move-
ment. In this work, the Hous-
ing Board will cooperate with
the State Government, besides,
1 lakh masks will be distribut-
ed free to the needy people,” he
said.
The UDH minister was all
praises for RHB Commissioner
Pawan Arora and while lauding
his efforts in corona times,he
said, “Work related to such so-
cial concern is being done for
the first time by the Board un-
der the leadership of Commis-
sioner Pawan Arora.”
Meanwhile, RHB Commis-
sioner Pawan Arora said that as
part of the state government’s
‘wear mask, make others
wear’campaign, it was an-
nounced in a meeting with the
Chief Minister that Board will
distribute one lakh masks to
protect against corona infec-
tion. “In keeping with its com-
mitment, Board will carry out
free mask distribution through
van. The van will deliver free
masks outside the city’s major
points and kachchi basti areas.
Vans have been specially de-
signed for dissemination of in-
formation related to corona and
mask distribution,” Arora said.
Moreover, free mask distribu-
tion kiosks will be set up in the
Deputy Housing Commissioner
Offices / Block Offices of Ra-
jasthan Housing Board located
at Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer,

Dr Anita
Jaipur: There is a
good news for the econ-
omy and particularly
for states. The past
month of September
2020 has registered
the highest Goods
and Service Tax
(GST) collection in
the current financial
year topping at ru-
pees 95,480 crores.
But what is more in-
teresting to note is
the fact that Ra-
jasthan is at the fore-
front of Goods and
Service Tax inflows
in the country
amounting to 17% in-
flows, followed by Ta-
mil Nadu at 15% when
compared for the same
time period of last
year, i.e September
2019.
The stellar perfor-
mance by ‘Team Ra-
jasthan’ in GST col-
lection means that
ACS (Finance) Niran-
jan Arya, Secretary
Finance (Revenue)
Prithvi Raj and
Chief commissioner
commercial taxes
(GST) Abhishek
Bhagotia is upbeat
with state’s out-
standing perfor-
mance and is confi-
dent to perform even
better during the
current financial
year, inspite of an
ongoing corona rev-
enue collection
‘roadblock’.
The increase in rev-
enue collection from
GST indicates that the
economic activity is
picking up as lock-
down restrictions have
been eased. In fact in
September 2020, the
indirect tax collec-
tion is over 10%
higher than that of
August.
Furthermore, it is
4% more than the
collections for Sep-
tember 2019, when
the Corona induced
lockdown was no
where in picture. Inter-
estingly, this year Sep-
tember collection
marks only the second
time when revenue has
surged over Rs 90,000
crore mark, previous
best being collection
done in January 2020
when almost Rs 1.11
lakh crore were col-
lected, and it was after
January that the grad-
ual decline started oc-
curring.
It was in the
months of April and
May that the collec-
tions hit their worst
with only 32000 and
62,000 rupees col-
lected respectively.
We all face failure sometime or
the other but if we learn and use
that experience wisely then it is a
small victory of sorts.

SIGNS OF BETTER TOMORROW
YOGI’S U.P IS
BOILING BUT
KESHAV IS COOL
Whatabizarrecoun-
try of ours is
where settlements are
burnt down for one cow,
curfews are imposed,
but when an innocent
girl falls victim to a
crime, no one speaks
about it, not even your
conscience. The ruling
party is afraid that the
fire from Hathras and
Balrampur may spoil
the saffron hopes in the
Biharpolls,soBJP’scen-
tral leadership has be-
gun to curb the unbri-
dleddesiresof itssiphal-
sar, ie Yogi. Before these
uncomfortableincidents
tookplace,apublicopin-
ion poll was conducted
by BJP in the state itself.
Results of this survey
were shocking as the
Brahminsandbackward
castes of the
state were
d i s e n -
chanted
w i t h
p o w e r
while Yo-
gi’s popu-
laritywas
also on a
tremendousdeclinein.It
has been claimed that
this decline has been re-
duced to 29%, and now
the party and govern-
ment may have to face
the resentment of Dalits
too. It is said that resent-
ment had started when
onlyYogi’spictureswere
seen in the full page
newspaper advertise-
ments and even PM’s
picture was missing.
BJP’s ‘number two’ had
asked Yogi to make one
of histrustedconfidants
the chairman of a com-
mission, but when no
decision was taken,
Amit Shah directly sum-
moned Sunil Bansal and
sent him to meet Yogi.
Since the CM was busy
withsomeimportantad-
ministrative tasks,
Bansal had to wait for
hours. Recently, when
Yogi reshuffled his cabi-
net, many of Shah’s
close men were either
given less important
portfolios or were
shown the way out.
Shrikant Sharma,
who is considered to
be very close to Shah,
would have also been
given a new ministry
but it was
stalled at
the last
moment. The events of
Hathras and Balrampur
had also put tension
linesonPMthattheinci-
dents do not make a so-
cial agitation like Rohit
Vemula’s death, so the
language and actions of
all the news channels
changed. It is heard that
Keshav Prasad Maurya
is preparing himself as
the new CM of the state,
theworkof construction
of Ram temple has start-
ed in Ayodhya, i.e., Yogi
has already discharged
one of his important re-
sponsibilities.
RAM MADHAV’S
CHANGING
ATTITUDE
Once considered the
most powerful gen-
eral secretary in BJP
organization, Ram
Madhav’s departure
from JP Nadda’s new
team is surprising,
however Madhav sup-
porters argue that the
PM is going to include
him in his cabinet.
There are people from
the other stream, say-
ing that these days PM
is angry with Madhav,
for many reasons. A
Gulf country ambassa-
dor met PM and com-
plained about Madhav.
When he was in Assam,
he announced CM Sar-
bananda Sonowal as
the CM face in the up-
coming election, due to
which Hemant
Biswa Sarma
got so an-
noyed that
he refused
to contest
next elec-
tion. To
c o nvinc e
him the
PM
himself had to take ini-
tiative, and proposed to
include him in his cabi-
net. The PM is also be-
lieved to have disliked
the move by Madhav
when he met a busi-
nessman close to Mad-
hu Koda to topple He-
mant Soren’s govern-
ment in Jharkhand and
there were talks of
some transactions. Is
this the only reason
that Madhav is rebel-
ling. In his article pub-
lished in Indian Ex-
press newspaper on
Gandhi Jayanti,
he openly ex-
pressed his
views, and
wrote- ‘ Gan-
dhi respect-
ed his critics
while the dic-
tator did not
tolerate op-
p o -
sition. They live in their
cocoons, surrounded by
men and henchmen, the
same story was repeat-
ed from Hitler to Stalin.
These signs are bigger
and Madhav’s inten-
tions are even greater.
NADDA’S NEW
TEAM
The removal of four
general secretaries
i.e. Ram Madhav, Mu-
ralidhar Rao, Anil Jain
and Saroj Pandey from
new team of BJP presi-
dent JP Nadda is not a
normal occurrence.
Muralidhar Rao, it is be-
ing said, has been re-
movedonthebasisof his
non performance in car-
rying out the responsi-
bility of Tamil Nadu
where BJP has no pros-
pects. It was more or less
the same in Rao’s home
state of Andhra. Anil
Jain used to be close to
Ramlal, is said to have
received the patronage
of Krishna Gopal, a
prominentSanghleader,
but is said that his com-
plaint about some cases
in Haryana had reached
the PM, due to which he
suffered.SarojPandeyis
said to have received the
patronage of Saudan
Singh,andeversincethe
demand of Saudan Sin-
gh has decreased in the
Sangh, the stars of Saroj
Pandey have also faded
a bit. There was a dis-
cussion of appoint-
ments on four vacant
seats in the party’s par-
liamentary board,
which were vacant after
death of Sushma
Swaraj, Arun Jaitley
and Anant Kumar and
Venkaiah Naidu’s vice-
presidency. Nirmala Si-
tharaman may be
brought to the seat of
Swaraj on women’s
quota. The par-
ty’s general
secretary BL
Santosh was
instrumental
in formation
of new team
who got CT

state
minister in Karnataka
govt, and made him na-
tional general secretary,

Comparing Hathras case
with Baran wrong: Raghu
Nigam bids Glorious adieu to I-T Dept
after exemplary service to nation
Naveen Joshi
Bhilwara: Rajasthan
health minister Raghu
Sharma condemned the
comparison of Uttar
Pradesh’s Hathras inci-
dent with Baran inci-
dent saying anyone can
go and know the ground
reality in Baran.
“BJP is comparing
Hathras incident with
Baran incident which is
condemnable. If a crime
has taken place then
anyone can go there and
know the ground reality.
We have not restricted
anyone’s movement and
have not stopped anyone
from visiting Baran,”
Sharma told reporters
during his Bhilwara
visit on Saturday.
He said that rape and
death of a girl in Hath-
ras was unfortunate and
conduct of officials was
condemnable.
“The police cremated
the body at night. What
the government wants
to hide?” He asked.
It was Sharma’s first
visit after becoming the
in-charge of Bhilwara
during which he
launched a mass aware-
ness movement against
corona. The minister
was welcomed by the
party workers and office
bearers at circuit house
and garlanded him. He
laterlaunchedthemove-
ment at Sharma Poly-
technic college.
“People have become
fearless and not follow-
ing the covid-related
guidelinesandprotocols
seriously. If people use
the mask for one month,
the corona spread will
be reduced significant-
ly,” he said.
Sharma said that the
government has fixed
corona investigation
rates in private labs and
hospitals as well and ac-
tion will be taken if any
hospital takes more
than fixed charges. Be-
fore reaching Bhilwara,
Sharma halted at Nasir-
abad and conducted a
surprise visit to the gov-
ernment hospital there.
Vaishali
Jaipur: Nina Nigam su-
perannuated on
30/9/2020 as Principal
Chief Commissioner of
Income tax, Rajasthan
after 37 years of distin-
guished and meritori-
ous service. She was one
of the most honest and
efficient officer of the
department, who was
always on toes for work
andwasavailablefortax
payersandcolleaguesof
the department. Wher-
ever she was posted
across the country, her
persistent hard work
not only fetched target-
ed revenue but also dig-
nified the image of de-
partment.
She in her career evi-
denced the entire era of
transformation of the
department and played
various important roles
at all stations wherever
she was placed. She has
worked in various ca-
pacities in the Income-
tax Department in Nag-
pur, Kanpur, Kolkata,
Delhi, Hyderabad and
Jaipur. She was tax ad-
visor to the Govt of Bot-
swana for three years,
where she is remem-
bered for having
strengthened their tax
administration. She
served as Director Gen-
eral of Income tax (In-
vestigation)inthestates
of AP, Telangana and
Orissa for 2 years from
2016- 2018 before joining
as PCCIT Rajasthan on
30/8/2018. Under her dy-
namic leadership, she
supervised several
high- profile search ac-
tions in AP, Telangana
and Orissa.
As PCCIT Rajasthan,
she has made signifi-
cant contributions in
the field of infrastruc-
ture, tax payer services,
technical spheres and
employee welfare. Un-
der her leadership, Ra-
jasthan has added the
maximum number of
new assesses in India in
percentage terms as a
result of providing
good tax- payer services
and reaching out to po-
tential tax-payers
through outreach pro-
grammes. Rajasthan
region has seemlessly
adopted the new ad-
vances in technology
being made in the In-
come-tax Department
in the areas of e-assess-
ments now followed up
by faceless assess-
ments. She gave special
emphasis on resolving
tax payer grievances in
the shortest possible
time. Contended Nigam
will probably now relax
with the thought, “Du-
ties well performed, a
journey well-travelled
and a new phase of life
well begun!!
Nina Nigam
OFFERING CONDOLENCES
Eminent people from all over the country are visiting Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla to
condole the death of his father Krishna Birla. On Saturday, Rajasthan Patrika group editor

and his family. Moreover, Bihar MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Delhi (South) MP Ramesh Vidhuri,
Dahod MP Jaswant Singh, Bharatpur MP Ranjita Koli, Khajuraho MP and Madhya Pradesh
BJP chief VD Sharma, MLA Kalicharan Saraf, Chomu MLA Ram Lal Sharma, Chittorgarh
MLA Chandrbhan Akya and Pali MLA Pushpendra Singh also expressed their condolences.

KEEP IT OFF
City First gives all the off-shoulder fans a few
hacks to keep their tops/dress in place, and how
they can slay the outfit in style!
here are various trends that
come and go like they never oc-
curred; but there are a few that
stick your mind and become and
absolute favourite. One such
trend was of the ‘off-shoulders’.
As much as the girls were ob-
sessed with this trend at a point
in time, there are only a few of
them who are still obsessed with
it in 2020.
May it be an off-shoulder top
or a dress, it is always the best
outfit to flaunt the beautiful long
earrings or the pretty choker
necklace that has been lying in
your wardrobe for the longest
time. There are often times when
you don’t know what to pair
them with, but with off-shoul-
ders, it becomes a lot easier.
Off-shoulders are usually sup-
ported by an internal corset or
brassiere, with the tightness of
the bodice preventing the dress
from slipping out of position.
Not just western outfits, but
there was a time (and there still
is) when the brides chose to wear
off-shoulder outfits on their wed-
ding functions. Apparently, it
made them look appealing, and
well, that’s what every bride
wants on their wedding, right?
There are times when
girls think that they won’t
be able to carry an off-shoulder
top/dress, or that it is too uncom-
fortable, considering the fact
that it keeps slipping away from
its place. City First gives you a
few hacks for the same, so you
will not have to worry about any-
thing, anymore!
GO STRAPLESS:
Wearing a strapless bra will
solve most of your issues with
your off-shoulder top/dress. The
transparent strap or the nude
strap isn’t going to help you in
any way.
ADD A RUBBER BAND:
The best hack to make the
off-shoulder stay in place is by
fixing a rubber band with
two clips (one at each
side), at both ends of
the top near the
shoulders, in the in-
side of the top, of
course. These will
help them stay in
place, no matter
what movement
you do.
SEE THE SIZE:
Make sure to not
go for a bigger size,
because so many
how much you al-
ter it, it just won’t
give you the
perfect fit.
