The last year ended on a dramatic note for Indian aviation with a passenger air-
craft taking off without air traffic control (ATC) clearance. This incident happened
when a SpiceJet flight took off from Rajkot for Delhi without the mandatory nod
on the penultimate day of 2021 — December 30. The directorate general of civil
aviation (DGCA) is probing this serious lapse.
The technical committee appointed by Supreme Court to investigate use of
Pegasus spyware to snoop on phones of politicians, activists and journalists,
has sought information from people who suspect their phones were targeted.
In a public notice, the committee has asked such people to contact them by
January 7. The committee has also said that it is ready to examine the phones.

Aditi Nagar
Meerut: Hitting out at
the previous govern-
ment in Uttar Pradesh,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on Sunday
said earlier criminals
and the mafia used to
play their games, but
now the Yogi Adity-
anath government is
playing “jail-jail” with
them.
Addressing a public
meeting after laying the
foundation stone for
the Major Dhyan Chand
Sports University in
Meerut, the Prime Min-
ister Modi said, “Dur-
ing the previous gov-
ernment, criminals
used to play their
games, the mafia used
to play its games. Ear-
lier, there were tourna-
ments of illegal
grabbing (of land).
People making bad re-
marks (‘phabtiyaan’)
on daughters used to
roam openly
.”
People living in
Meerut and adjoining
areas can never forget
how houses used to be
set ablaze, and the ear-
lier government used to
indulge in games of
criminals and the ma-
fia, he said.
The result of these
games played by earlier
governments was that
people were forced to
leave their ancestral
homes and there was
“exodus”, the Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi added.
“Now, the govern-
ment of Yogi (Adity-
anath) ji is playing ‘jail-
jail’ with such crimi-
nals. Five years ago, the
daughters of Meerut
used to fear leaving
their homes after even-
ing. Today, the daugh-
ters of Meerut are
bringing laurels to the
entire country,” PM
Modi further added.

ALL 52K BOOTHS IN STATE IMP FOR POLL WIN: POONIA
BJP State Prez Dr Satish Poonia while addressing the Mandal Meet at Rampura Dabri in Amber, gave lessons on booth management
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: Gearing up for
2023-assembly elections,
BJP in Rajasthan on
Sunday, held meetings
of Mandal Working
Committees at 1,100
mandals simultaneous-
ly across the state.
BJP State President
Dr Satish Poonia took
the meeting at Rampura
Dabri in his assembly
constituency, Amber,
wherein, he taught the
lessons of management
of votes at the booth
level. Asserting that all
the 52,000 booths in the
state are “very impor-
tant” for victory in the
elections, Poonia said
that sometimes the
workers do not under-
stand this.
“Had the BJP got
three extra votes per
booth in 2018- elections,
the previous BJP gov-
ernment would not have
gone,” he said while cit-
ing the example of last
assembly elections in
which Congress came to
power by winning an
average of 1.56 per cent
more votes.
“The party would
have retained power.
This is why booth man-
agement is important,”
he said. For Mandal
meetings, wherein, 4
sessions were held, the
party engaged senior
leaders including LoP
GulabChand Kataria,
Deputy Leader of Oppo-
sition Rajendra
Rathore, General Secre-
tary (organisation)
Chandrashekhar, Na-
tional Secretary Alka
Gurjar and others.
Various issues cor-
nering the Congress
government were dis-
cussed in the meeting.

Adding further, the

“Vasundhara Raje has

Sports goods are exported to more

CHILE SHOWS THE
WAY, TO REWRITE

s climate change con-
tinuestothreatenour
survival, countries
party to the confer-
ence on climate
change keep protecting their
own political and national inter-
ests rather than taking substan-
tial steps to stop behaving as en-
vironment marauders. Of all the
countries it is Chile which has
decided to take a decisive step
towards protection of the envi-
ronment by asking Chileans to
rewrite the country’s 1980 consti-
tution written under the regime
of Augusto Pinochet to tackle a
“climate and ecological emer-
gency”. A committee of 155 Chil-
eans will look at issues like na-
ture having rights, how to regu-
late mines and if local communi-
ties should have a say in mining.
The interesting point before
the committee is whether nature
has rights. The Uttarakhand
High Court had in 2017 ordered
India’s lifeline, the Ganga and
Yamuna to be treated as living
entities. The order was later
stayed by the Supreme Court but
the time has come for us to give
nature some special rights.
TOP TWEETS
A
ear 2022 has start-
ed on a positive
note with Goods
and Services Tax
(GST) collections
recording a 13 percent in-
crease in December over the
corresponding period in 2020.
The gross revenue collections
remained above `1 lakh crore
for the sixth month in a row
amid signs that the economy
was on the path of recovery
.
Though a healthy indica-
tor, GST collections do not
give the complete picture.
Former chief economic ad-
viser Arvind Subramanian
pointed to other parameters
to strike a note of caution.
The former CEA has said that
the economy was emerging
out of last year’s blues so let’s
not raise a toast just yet.
“The GDP is barely back at
the pre-pandemic level and
IIP (Index of Industrial Pro-
duction) is still below pre-
pandemic level…It is far too
early to celebrate the num-
bers. They are still fairly
weak compared to the pre-
pandemic level,” he is re-
ported to have said.
Subramanian, who differs
from the government’s view
on economic growth, re-
opened the debate on GDP
growth between 2013-14 and
2018-19 which, he said, was 4
percent and not 7 percent
and called for its factual re-
assessment.
No one in the government
will be interested in giving
the previous GDP numbers a
second look as they can’t be
expected to revise the num-
ber downward.
Another aspect which the
Congress has taken up is the
high unemployment rate
which stood at 7.9 percent of
which urban youth com-
prised 9.3 percent and rural
7.2 percent. Improvement in
these numbers will reflect
only when there is buoyancy
in the key sectors of the
economy
.
GST COLLECTIONS KEEP
REVIVAL HOPES HIGH
Though a healthy
indicator, GST
collections do not give the
complete picture. Former

Y
Importance of Value
ave you noticed that the word
“value” has become such a
buzzword of the 21st century!
Anytime you go on Google,
you witness some marketing
maven, company, blog post or
an industry guru, whipping
out this word and emphasiz-
ing how important it is to
“create value.”
We are indeed overusing
the word and it’s confusing
people, especially the young
generation. They use “Value”
in their banter with such
ubiquity that it hardly has
any meaning left.
In my 20+ years of experi-
ence, I have seen many Lead-
ers and marketing/sales pro-
fessionals attend hyped webi-
nars or a conference to only
realize that they have NO
clue of what it is, why they
are supposed to offer it, and
how to measure it!
I often see baffled, foiled,
inept people scratching their
heads and saying; “Hey,
where do I find VALUE?” As
if it is a treasure hunt! Let’s
start making more effort in
talking about what it is and
how to provide it.
In my opinion, VALUE as a
word doesn’t mean anything.
It is a placeholder, a catch-
phrase for something that is
dynamic, contextual and re-
quires an acknowledgment
from others. So when we
bring up this word in our con-
versations, we’re not offering
much insight. VALUE for one
person is different for anoth-
er and changes from a prod-
uct to a service to an idea and
an offer.
Please understand, VAL-
UE isn’t a thing; it’s an
AGREEMENT.
Identifying value starts
with looking outward. It be-
gins with a comprehensive
understanding of the other
person, group, or company
you’re looking to collaborate
with. Creating VALUE re-
quires empathy and has a
deep connotation with con-
sidering other person’s goals
and objectives. Being able to
solve, minimize and eradi-
cate the pain points of your
team and your customer is
critical to defining your VAL-
UE. Mostly the choice is be-
tween whether you can posi-
tion yourself as an asset or as
a tool in someone’s efforts to
improve their world.
Creating value is easy
when it is intrinsic. For ex-
ample, materialistic acquisi-
tions such as money, gold,
stocks, etc. have an intrinsic
value and therefore it’s easi-
er for the market to put a
price on it. However, in the
world of sales, it is not so
easy…Puzzling questions
like, What is the value of 60
minutes of someone’s time?
How do you measure the val-
ue of content writers? Why
should we pay a certain
amount to some trainers
when there are others avail-
able for much less? Deter-
mining the value of these
things makes the task even
more difficult.
In simple terms, value is
being seen as worth some-
thing; time, money, commit-
ment, support, etc. When you
expect to achieve something
in return, you’re headed in
the right direction. The more
someone will give you for
what you are offering, the
more VALUE you are provid-
ing, but it can only be estab-
lished by your power of con-
viction.
VALUES are significant in
our lives because they help
us grow and develop. They
create a road map for the fu-
ture we want to experience.
Through hundreds of deci-
sions that we make every day
,
we direct ourselves towards
a specific purpose.
Let me share a high-level
overview of the four kinds of
values that we all imbibe:
INDIVIDUAL VALUES
They are reflected in how you
show up in your life and the
principles you live by! Out-
lining the importance of
what you consider important
for your self-interest and dis-
play enthusiasm, creativity,
and humility
.
RELATIONSHIP VALUES
These are reflected in how
you relate to other people in
your life! Be it friends, family
,
or colleagues in your organi-
zation, they include open-
ness, trust, generosity, and
caring.
ORGANISATIONAL
VALUES
These are reflected in how
the organisation operates in
the world. They include fi-
nancial growth, strategic al-
liances, human resources
and social capital.
SOCIETAL VALUES
Societal values include fu-
ture generations, environ-
mental awareness, ecology,
sustainability, and how you
relate to your socio–econom-
ic status.
When the above values are
shared, they build a strong
backbone that provides im-
mense opportunities to inter-
nal as well as external stake-
holders. The true WIN is ac-
tually in knowing more about
what it is and how to create it
rather than negotiating un-
der false pretexts.
Let’s glide into the holiday
season with a profound un-
derstanding and considera-
tion. Thank you for reading
this and hope it provided
VALUE on your time.

ing that unidentified

No arrests have been

DCP (south-east dis-

are looking into it and
appropriate legal action
will be taken,” she said.
Sources in the cyber
cell claimed they had
identifiedsomeaccounts
in connection with the
objectional posts, which
were deactivated follow-
ingthepolicecomplaint.
Police are trying to get
further details.
The complainant
states, “I was shocked to
find out this morning
that a website… had a
doctored picture of me
inanimproper,unaccep-
table and clearly lewd
context. I am often the
target of online trolls
and this seems to be the
next step in such harass-
ment. This needs imme-
diate action as the same
is clearly designed to
harass me and other
similarly situated inde-
pendent women and
journalists.”
She further wrote:
“The term bulli-bai it-
self seems disrespectful
and the content of this
website is clearly aimed
at insulting Muslim
women as the derogato-
ry term buli is used ex-
clusively for Muslim
women and the entire
website seems to have
been designed with the
intent of insulting Mus-
lim women. The term
bulli of the day further
objectifies and dehu-
manises women.” —PTI

5-member SIT to probe Haridwar
Dharma Sansad hate speech
New Delhi: A five-

probe the extremely
provocative hate
speeches delivered at
the Dharma Sansad in
Haridwar, Uttara-
khand, in mid-Decem-
ber.
The SIT will be head-
ed by an officer of the
superintendent of po-

tion will be taken
against those found
guilty, said the Garhwal
deputy inspector gen-
eral, Karan Singh
Nagnyal, on Sunday

On Saturday, officials
said two more names --

were allegedly deliv-
ered.
New Delhi: After fury
over Muslim women be-

ter Ashwini Vaishnaw
tweeted a terse two lines
late Saturday to say the
GitHub user behind the
‘Bulli Bai’ app had been
blocked and “further
action” was being coor-
dinated. The brief mes-
sage was in response to
a plea by Shiv Sena MP
Priyanka Chaturvedi,
who yesterday tagged
Mr Vaishnaw asking
him to act against
“rampant misogyny and
communal targeting
of women”. “GitHub
(the Microsoft-owned
software-sharing plat-
form used to build and
run the ‘Bulli Bai’ app)
confirmed blocking
the user this morning
itself. CERT (Computer
Emergency Response
Team, an office within
the Ministry of Electron-
ics and Information
Technology, or MEITY)
and police authori-
ties are coordinating
further action. GitHub
confirmed blocking
the user this morning
itself. CERT and Police
authorities are coordi-
nating further action,”
Vaishnaw tweeted.
AMuslim group has approached the SC seek-
ing action against hate speeches against the
community, saying state authorities had failed to
act despite complaints. The plea by Jamiat Ula-
ma-i-Hind, through its president Maulana Syed
Mahmood Asad Madani, said “such speeches go
beyond the limits of a permitted critical denial of
another’s beliefs, and are certainly likely to incite
religious intolerance…”.

pilot unintentionally
hits a surface.
CIFT means the heli-
copter was airworthy
and the pilot was not at
fault, sources said. In
this case, reduced vis-
ibility because of bad
weather in the Coonoor
area, where the crash
occurred, could be one
of the causes, they
said. CIFT is one of the
main causes of air-
craft crashes globally.
Air Force officials
said the final report
will shed light on the
details of the accident.
The tri-services
court of inquiry is
headed by Air Marshal
Manvendra Singh, who
is the country’s top
helicopter pilot in the
armed forces.
New Delhi: The Air
Force’s inquiry into
the chopper crash that
killed CDS General Bipin
Rawat, his wife and 11
armed forces personnel
is almost complete and
will be submitted soon,
sources. Neither the Air
Force nor the govt has
made any statement
yet on the probe or its
report, but sources indi-
cate that reduced visibil-
ity due to bad weather
may have contributed
to the crash. There has
also been no statement
or explanation so far on
whether pilot-error was
the underlying cause of
the accident or whether
rules for operating
within clouds in hilly
areas were disregarded.
Sources also said the
inquiry ruled out any
possibility of technical
errors or mechanical
defects.

New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court will sing
Auld Lang Syne for
eight judges this year
including the Chief Jus-
tice of India NV Rama-
na even before 2022 runs
its course. And yet, it’s
not clear how the Su-
preme Court Collegium
and the government
plan to fill the vacancies
to arise during the
course of 2022.
While CJI Ramana is
scheduled to step down
on August 27, 2022, his
likely successor in
terms of seniority Jus-
tice UU Lalit may have
just a little over two
months before he too re-
tires on November 8. If
the next senior judge DY
Chandrachud is ap-
pointed the Chief Jus-
tice of India after Jus-
tice Lalit, he will have a
good two-year term till
November 10, 2024.
According to the re-
tirement schedule, Jus-
tice Lalit will be the last
one to retire and his de-
parturewill bepreceded
by seven judges includ-
ing the CJI.
The first on the list of
retirement is Justice R
Subhash Reddy who
will step down tomor-
row i.e. 04.01.2022.
Justice Vineet Saran
will follow him as he
will retire on May 10
whereas Justice L
Nageshwar Rao will re-
tire on June 7. Justice
AM Khanwilkar will re-
tire on July 29 to be fol-
lowed by Justice Indira
Banerjee on September
23 and Justice Hemant
Gupta on October 16.
It may be underlined
that out of 34, the total
sanctioned posts of
judges, one post is al-
ready vacant.
It is stressed that to
maintain the dignity
and efficiency of the Su-
preme Court, it’s vital
that the scheduled va-
cancies are filled as
soon as they arise.
About 70,000 cases are
said to have been pend-
ing in the SC. This is
despite the fact that a
record 1.5 lakh cases
were heard via video
conferencing in 2021 af-
ter the virtual hearing
started post-March 2020.
Already, the dignity
of the judicial system
has suffered a huge
blow because of the
backlog of cases run-
ning into crores.
About 37% vacancies
of judgesinHighCourts
and over 20% in district
courts has considerably
slowed down the admin-
istered justice system
that is seen to be already
mired down by too
many deficiencies.
It is reported that
about 56 lakh cases are
pending in High Courts.
The rising pendency of
cases has touched the 5.7
croresmarkwithdistrict

bulk of these cases. The
latter can’t be entirely
pinned down for the de-

New Delhi: Mamta Ba-

remarks about Rahul
Gandhi during her
Mumbai tour and re-
marked as to what poli-
tics can be done with a
leader who stays abroad
all the time. Thereafter
Congress leaders be-
came extremely furious
while several leaders
stressed on how much
time Rahul is now de-
voting in domestic poli-
tics. But Rahul has gone
abroad again, and at a
crucial juncture too,
since elections of five
statescanbeannounced
anytime. At this time
BJP leaders are holding
rallies after rallies. PM
Narendra Modi and Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah have thrown
themselves into the poll
campaign. Even leaders
of regional parties are
engaged but the Gandhi
scion chose to go on a
foreign tour.
He had returned from
a long foreign tour just
before the winter ses-
sion of Parliament.
Now by going abroad
again, he has made peo-
ple realize his serious-
ness. These days, prepa-
rations are on for elec-
tions and the third wave
of Corona is about to
come, therefore, how
can a serious and sensi-
tive politician go on a
foreign tour at such a
time?
The Prime Minister
has cancelled his visit
to the UAE, which was
scheduled for January
6, to mark 50 years of
India-UAE ties but Ra-
hul has gone abroad for
a holiday. There is cur-
rently a fifth wave of
corona in Europe and
international flights
are being stopped in
view of the third wave
in India. What if there
is a complete lockdown?
Will Rahul Gandhi be
taken out of a ship and
brought to India under
Vande Bharat Mission?
The number of ques-
tions raised by the BJP
leaders on his move will
be further picked up by
the leaders of the oppo-
sition parties.

time to speak up against
the menace.
His comments on
Twitter came amid out-
rage by netizens and

over the dodgy ‘Bulli
Bai’ app that has listed
Muslim women for
“auction”. Hundreds of
Muslim women, with
photographs, were list-
ed for “auction” on the
app. It has happened for
the second time in less
than a year. The app ap-
peared to be a clone of
Sulli Deals which trig-
gered a row last year.
“The insult of wom-
en and communal ha-
tred will stop only when
we stand against it in
one voice. The year has
changed, the situation
should also change. It is
time to speak up,” Gan-
dhi tweeted using the
hashtag ‘no fear’.

at least 100 influential

LODHA ON CURFEW
During the meeting, Sany-
am Lodha, Advisor to CM
Gehlot questioned on the
effectiveness of curfew
from 11 pm while making
a demand for 150 days of
MNREGA work instead of
100 days and demanded
to start famine relief work.
“What is the rationale for
curfew from 11 pm to 5
am? Does the virus only
infect for 6 hours? The
virus spreads irrespec-
tive of time. The general
public is also surprised by
night curfew.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Saturday night
brought with it a scene
that went on to stamp
the ‘sensitive persona’
of CM Ashok Gehlot.
On perhaps one of the
coldest nights of the
season, CM Gehlot left
the comfort of CMR and
travelled on Jaipur’s
roads to interact with
traffic policemen doing
duty for 12 to 14 hours.
COPS NARRATED
THEIR PAIN TO CM
In the chilly night, the
policemen narrated
their ‘pain’ to the CM
who was informed that
some policemen were
on duty from 6 am to 12
noon and usually the
duty of traffic police-
men is from 8 in the
morning to 8 in the
night but if there is a
VIP movement, they are
then not allowed to go
home. Due to such long
duty hours, the police-
men are unable to give
time to the family and
only go home to sleep.
CM LAUDS COPS FOR
LONG DUTY HOURS
CM was also apprised
that during festivals,
cops have to engage in
duty for 12-14 hours.
Hearing their ordeal,
CM became disheart-
ened and instructed
senior officials to find a
way to solve this major
issue. Gehlot then went
on to interact with cops
and asked about their
other problems, if any
.
BLANKETS FOR
NEEDY PEOPLE
Meanwhile, Gehlot also
distributed blankets on
Saturday evening to the
needy people in the tem-
porary night shelter of
Municipal Corp behind
Ram Niwas Bagh on the
occasion of New Year.
Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot talked to
the people present in
the night shelter very
intimately and in-
quired about their
well-being. He inter-
acted with patients
and their families from
other states including
UP, Maharashtra liv-
ing in night shelters.
Patients and their fam-
ilies told that medical
facilities are better in
Rajasthan and stressed
that they are satisfied
with the treatment
they got here.
WILLWIN OVER CORONAWITH
EVERYONE’S COOPERATION: CM
From Pg 1...
Rajasthan“Peoplehad
to deal with shortage
of oxygen, beds and
life saving medicines.
Even in this adverse
time, Rajasthan saved
the lives of people by
doing better manage-
ment. Medicines were
ordered from charter
plane. The Group of
Ministers was sent to
Delhi for the manage-
ment of oxygen. High
level monitoring of
each situation was
done. As a result of
this we were able to
save lives of people,”
Gehlot said. He added,
“In the last few days,
infection of Omicron
variant has spread in
more than 125 coun-
tries of the world. Ex-
perts say that due to
the high R value of
this variant, it spreads
rapidly and it cannot
be said when it chang-
es its mood and be-
comes fatal. So, we
have to be very careful
andcautiousaboutthe
Omicron variant.”
Gehlot said that it is
ourendeavorthatalong
with saving our lives,
our livelihood contin-
ues smoothly
. “For this
it is necessary that all
of us should ensure
that social distancing,
wearing of masks, and
other covid discipline
are compulsorily fol-
lowed. Also, all eligible
people must get vacci-
nated. Social distanc-
ing has to be main-
tained. Political rallies
are going on. It is the
seasonof weddingstoo.
When we hold rallies,
people ask questions
andsaythatyoucando
political programmes
and you bar us. We
don’t have any answer
tothis.Politicalparties
have to think,” he said.
“No decision will be
imposed. Whether it
is a matter of school
or temple-mosque.
Everything will be
done with your sug-
gestion. While releas-
ing the Guidelines
(SOP) on Sunday
night, we will take de-
cisions based on the
suggestions of the
people. I respect eve-
ryone’s suggestions.
This time the mood of
Corona is different as
compared to earlier.
We have saved Ra-
jasthan in the dire
condition of the sec-
ond wave as well,” Ge-
hlot said, adding,
“Everyone worked to-
gether to combat both
the waves of Corona. I
am only a mere cause.
The real warriors
were our doctors and
frontline workers.
The police did a great
job too. We sent mon-
ey directly to 35 lakh
people. How can we
forget the work of gov-
ernment machinery,
common people dur-
ing both the waves.”

Maiden visit to
SWM: Maken
Speaking to First
India, Maken said, I
wish everyone a happy
new year. I have come
to Sawai Madhopur
for the first time. The
state govt has done
good work in the past
three years as a result
of which people have
expressed their trust in
Congress in local body
elections, panchayat
polls and bypolls. Peo-
ple coming from many
states to get treatment
in Rajasthan, what
could be better than
this? Meetings that CM
takes, remain open to
all. People can watch
it live through Social
Media, he said.

TARUNA THAPA, 22 IS A WOMAN OF MULTIPLE PASSIONS WHO
HAILS FROM CHANDIGARH. THAPA PARTICIPATED IN FIRST
MISS INDIA HELD IN GOA ON OCTOBER 30, 2021 CHARMED
THE AUDIENCES WITH HER TALENTS AND KNACK FOR FASHION!
assion and will
are two igniting
powers that are
required in any
field of profes-
sion, especially
showbiz. The
world of modelling,
though filled with glitz
and glamour is also a
tough industry to make a
mark in. But, Taruna
Thapa, an ace teen
model hailing from
Chandigarh has
made her mark,
early on.
Taruna, a
nurse by profes-
sion, finalist of
First Miss India
Teen 2021 got
candid with City
First about her
journey as a
model and her
plans for the fu-
ture in the mod-
elling industry.
Talking about
her journey,
Taruna said, “At
the time of my
2nd year in Bsc
nursing there
was a pageant
named, “Miss North India
Princess 2018’. My sister
and mother got me regis-
tered for the show and for-
tunately I was among the
top 12 contestants. From
that day I started model-
ling, and it gave me the
sense of contentment, hap-
piness and the realisation
that one should only make
a career in the field which
makes them happy from
the inside.”
Discussing her inspira-
tion and motivation man-
tra, she said, “My mother
is a true warrior. She has
raised me into a strong
woman and I can’t be
more grateful to her. I
also believe that one
should live in the pre-
sent as life is so un-
predictable. Do what
your heart says. One
shouldn’t fear life
and unfold every
chapter as a chal-
lenge.”
Being a part of a
massive beauty
pageant like First
Miss India Teen
2021, Taruna
shared her ex-
perience. She
said, “My fami-
ly is my biggest
support and their
faith in me and my
passion made me
confident enough to
be a part of this huge
pageant. First
India made
full efforts to
provide us with the best
mentors, accomodation,
facilities, stage, prizes.
The journey went like a
dream, all of the partici-
pants took back something
precious home, be it priz-
es, confidence, friends, or
strength.”
