NEW DELHI: India and Turkey
have decided to work together to
strengthen cooperation, both bilaterally
and multilaterally, to effectively counter
terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra
Modi said on Monday after a meeting
with Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan.
The two leaders agreed on the need
to act and stand against those who cre-
ate and conceive, support and sustain,
shelter and spread these instruments
and ideologies of violence.
Addressing a joint press event with
Erdogan, PM Modi said, "We live in
times where our societies face new
threats and challenges every day. The
context and contours of some of the
exiting and emerging security chal-
lenges globally are our common con-
cern."
"In particular, the constantly evolv-
ing threat from terrorism is our shared
worry. I held an extensive conversion
with the Turkish president on this sub-
ject. We agreed that no intent or goal or
reason or rationale can validate terror-
ism," he said.
PM Modi said the nations of the
world need to work as one to disrupt the
terrorist networks, their financing and
cross border movement of terrorists.
The Turkish president said that his
country will always be by the side of
India in full solidarity while battling
terrorism. "Terrorist organisations want
to launch their propaganda over suffer-
ing of people, willing to create future
for themselves out of victims' pain,"
Erdogan said. The two leaders also
agreed on reforms in United Nation
Security Council. "President Erdogan
and I recognize need for the UNSC to
reflect the world of the 21st century
and not of the century gone by," said
PM Modi.PolicyX The Turkish presi-
dent also praised India's role in the
region. "In every international develop-
ment that is unfolding in Asia we see
India playing a important role,"
Erdogan said.
India and Turkey agree to act against those
who 'create, support and shelter' terror
The second official reunion
of Aides-de-camp (AsDC) to
the President of India was
hosted today (April 29, 2017)
at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The
Presidential Service Batch
which has now been instituted
was also presented by the
President to his military staff
in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Addressing the gathering, the
President said that it gave him
immense pleasure to be pres-
ent on the occasion of second
reunion of Aides de Camp dur-
ing the thirteenth Presidency.
He welcomed all of them at
Rashtrapati Bhavan and said
that Aides De Camp to the
President of Republic of India
is a cherished legacy of
Rashtrapati Bhavan, the then
Viceroy House. He said that he
was glad to see the military
staff associated with former
Presidents who were there not
only from within the country
but across the world. He
thanked each one of them for
providing invaluable assis-
tance in day to day activities
and during functions at
Rashtrapati Bhavan. He was
pleased to see that over the
years all the responsibilities
shouldered by the military
staff have been discharged to
perfection. They all are con-
versant with administrative,
personal and protocol require-
ments pertaining to the con-
duct of the President and other
visiting dignitaries. The
President said that numerous
functions take place at
Rashtrapati Bhavan and the
military staff carries out their
duties with professionalism,
swiftness and with a smile on
their faces.
The Vice President of
India, Shri M. Hamid Ansari
has said that terrorism has
become a pandemic and
affects every society. He was
addressing the Media onboard
Air India One Special Aircraft
while returning to India con-
cluding five-day visit to
Armenia and Poland, today.
The Minister of State for
Micro, Small & Medium
Enterprises, Shri Giriraj Singh
and other dignitaries were
present on the occasion.
The Vice President said
that both Armenia and Poland
were very friendly countries
and we were able to regener-
ate interest in mutual coopera-
tion. Though Armenia is a
small country, it has tradition-
ally been very friendly to us,
he added.
Referring to Poland, the
Vice President said that it is
the biggest economy in
Central Europe and we have
an expanding trade with them.
He further said that there are
Indian investments in Poland
and Polish investments in
India and during the course of
discussions, with both the
Polish President and the Prime
Minister, we were able to
identify some specific areas
where cooperation between
these two countries is either
starting or can start very soon.
We were able to focus on three
particular areas of interest;
clean coal mining technology,
agricultural products and tech-
niques and defence coopera-
tion, he added.
The Vice President said
that he had suggested to the
Polish leadership for Poland to
join the Make in India
Programmes and instead of
being a seller only, they could
become an India based seller,
which will give them a much
additional advantages. He fur-
ther said that the Polish side
reacted very positively to the
suggestion and there will be
substantial progress in coming
day when the Polish President
visits India. All in all, the dis-
cussions were very focused
and very positive and in both
countries, the results have
been satisfactory, he added.
Reacting to a question on
exploring potential with
Armenian innovation and
Indian efforts coming together
for mutual benefit, the Vice
President said that Armenian
innovation is good and Indian
effort is right in its place. We
need to see where and what
the innovation is and where it
will fit in to our requirements,
he added.
On a question about the
road ahead in our relationship
with Poland, the Vice
President said that Poland has
done its own homework in
identifying India's rising pro-
file to become a major trading
partner and a major political
entity in its own right. He fur-
ther said that the Poles have
identified a few markets in
Asia as priority markets and
India is one of them. We both
look forward and expect sev-
eral initiatives in furthering
this process, he added.
Answering a question on
adopting Comprehensive
Convention on International
Terrorism (CCIT), the Vice
President said that every coun-
try is facing the problem of
terrorism in a lesser or greater
degree and the problem is
understood by everyone. He
referred to the time when he
was the permanent representa-
tive of India to UN in New
York in 1994, when India had
introduced a proposal on
CCIT and it was struck
because there was a difference
in perception with regard to
defining a terrorist. He further
said that while making an
international agreement, all
kinds of legal problems come
up and those who do not want
this to make progress, come
up with legal technicalities.
Terrorism has become like a pandemic and
affecting every society: Vice President

official reunion of Aides-de-

3. 3 1- 7 May 2017
COLUMN
We recently lost 25 CRPF
jawans in Sukma,
Chhatisgarh. A lot of analyses
are being done in view of the
tragedy. Shortcomings, if any,
are for the security experts to
find out. Armchair analysts
can also keep giving their
unsolicited opinions. It is very
easy to find faults in our
forces’ strategies but do the
constables of the central
armed police forces have any
choice? The Naxals are formi-
dable foes armed with the lat-
est weaponry, and have a def-
inite advantage of fighting a
guerrilla war in their turf. And
they have the support of the
locals, by choice or coercion.
The Naxals or militants have
to be lucky just once to have a
successful strike. After all, it
is very difficult even for a
highly trained soldier to avoid
a clandestine landmine.
Adding to the woes of our
men are the inhospitable ter-
rain and extremely harsh
weather conditions. A consta-
ble remains on duty almost 10
hours a day, is absolutely
incommunicado and has to
survive on bare minimum
facilities. It’s not that the con-
cerned force, be it the CRPF
or the BSF is not doing any-
thing. The leadership of every
force does it best but it is a
grim and difficult battle fight-
ing the forces of nature and an
enemy well entrenched in its
territory.
In Sukma, the CRPF was
providing security cover for a
road construction project. If
there is no infrastructure in
that remote area, how can one
expect logistics and other sup-
port to the soldiers? Every
day, a jawan knows that he is
a potential target for the
Naxals as he stands guard on
the road construction site. He
knows that he has lost his col-
leagues on the same site yet
he risks his life again, and
again. Similar is the situation
for a jawan of the BSF in
Manipur or an Army jawan in
the valley. Yet a jawan keeps
performing his duty noncha-
lantly. Union Home Minister
Rajnath Singh paying tribute
to CRPF jawans killed in the
Sukma attack (PTI Photo)
Even if it is a professional
hazard, it requires a lot of guts
to work in the minefields of
Chhatisgarh or the stone pelt-
ing environs of Srinagar,
knowing that any moment
could be the last one for a sol-
dier. Imagine the anxious wait
of a mother for her son’s
phone every night and that
ominous call which breaks the
dreadful news of a soldier’s
death to her. Or when children
see their mother wailing in the
corners of their half built
house, which their father had
promised to complete on his
return from the border.
But can we do something
for our jawans, as common
citizens? We can log on to
Bharatkeveer.gov.in and con-
tribute financially to the fami-
lies of the martyrs. It is indeed
very heartening that thou-
sands of Indian citizens have
already contributed to this
very noble cause. The
Ministry of Home Affairs has
worked with great sincerity
and launched the website
recently. Of course, there is
room for improving the web-
site. But I can assure you that
things are being monitored at
the highest level. For starters,
you will have an option to
click at multiple names at one
go. The donations will be
made tax exempt. The NIC
team, SBI, officials of MHA
and other paramilitary forces
are on the job. Certain steps
have been taken to keep the
website relevant and continu-
ously updated. Firstly, in case
of any unfortunate event, all
news channels will play the
details of the website in a
scroll below the main news.
All local and national radio
channels, particularly the ones
on FM will air some details of
the incident and exhort people
to donate on the website. A
video featuring celebrities
having impeccable credentials
will be made and played in
movie halls, TV channels and
on YouTube. Think Abhinav
Bindra, Saina Nehwal, Deepa
Malik, they are true torch
bearers of our sporting legacy
and will be ideal to motivate
our public. A separate
Facebook page will also be
opened. One could post mes-
sages, videos for our jawans,
ask FAQS, interact with
jawans and officers. We will
also organize visits of school
and college students to the
different posts of our forces so
that they can have a first-hand
experience of our men’s lives.
A tie up is in the offing with
illustrious media houses like
the Times of India to have
panel discussions and interac-
tions, particularly in colleges.
It is imperative to involve the
youth in this mission. They
are the present and the future
of our nation; they must be
made aware of the sacrifices
of our jawans. It is really
encouraging news that the
youngsters have wholeheart-
edly supported the concept of
this website. Actor Akshay
Kumar has continuously been
talking about this cause and
appealed to the countrymen to
support our men in uniform.
He has also volunteered to
host special premiere shows
of his films for people who
donate handsomely.
Interestingly this idea was
sent by a young college stu-
dent to the MHA! Hats off to
cricketer Gautam Gambhir
who has taken up the educa-
tion of the children of the
Sukma martyrs. It’s wonder-
ful that all of you are so con-
cerned about our hitherto
unsung heroes, our jawans. A
martyr’s family can definitely
not get its bread winner back
but your contribution in this
hour of grief will provide
some solace to the family that
the entire nation is with them.
Finally, some beautiful news
in the wake of the Sukma
tragedy. Puja Bhandari, a
young housewife from Indore
saved some money every day
during her nine months of
pregnancy to offer to a temple
if she had a daughter. Guess
what, she contributed the
entire amount to
bharatkeveer.gov.in. This is
the kind of news which makes
your day, which reaffirms
your faith in humanity. I am
sure our jawans must be smil-
ing in heaven and showering
their blessings on the little
angel! So, log in and join us in
this fantastic mission.

Male dancer and Myths that surround him
Being a male dancer and choosing
dance as a career by him was not con-
sidered a big deal in the Indian society
a few years back. Though now the
times are changing and people are
looking at dance more seriously. A
salute to Kelucharan Mahapatra,
Lacchu Maharaj and Pandit Birju
Maharaj who did take this step inspite
of the stigma that male dancers attract.
Biggest stigma is that a male dancer is
effeminate and many people relate
dance to be feminine. But keeping this
myth aside, there are many more
myths that surround a male dancer.
Male dancers personal and espe-
cially sex life is always questioned
more than his dance by many people.
From rumours about feet size to sex
life to even sexual preferences, there is
a lot of cultural misinformation circu-
lating about men and their physiques.
And men dancers themselves offer pre-
cious little clarification what with their
tendencies towards joshing around and
playing things close to the chest. So for
the record, here are five classic
assumptions about male dancer that are
totally false, a dancer is a dancer and
remember every man is different and
all men be it a dancer or non dancer
cannot be put in the same basket. I
would often hear people talk about
these myths, so I finally decide to take
it up and talk to my friends, doctors
and some researchers, who have
helped me put this piece together. I
would like to expose some sex myths
about men and male dancers
That is as many times as we breathe
everyday. Nobody has that type of
mental stamina, in one of the most
comprehensive surveys about sexual
habits in India. Forty three per cent of
men reported thinking about sex not
even once a day, but rather somewhere
between a couple of times a week to a
couple of times a month. And a male
dancer is a creative person he might
have sensual moves on his mind for his
choreography but sex on the mind all
the time is not true.
Male dancers have better sex
lives than a non dancer:
Conventional wisdom says married
men get nothing but slumber in their
bedrooms, while single studs are “clos-
ing the deal”. But it is actually those
with the vows that are getting it on and
it is not a ho-hum roll in the matrimo-
nial bed; not only are married women
more likely to be orgasmic, married
men also give and get more oral sex.
So it is more about the person rather
than a single or a married dancer, if a
male dancer uses his sexuality to his
best he can get great sex each time he
wants it. Doctors say that seminal fluid
is made up of water and nutrients such
as vitamin C, calcium and magnesium.
It also contains the sugar fructose but
only 5 to 7 calories worth per serving.
It is unlikely to create a diet issue, but
this should not be used in an argument
for whatever. A creative male dancer
might have sex in a creative manner
and give a new feel each time, but it
has still got nothing to do with his
semen and added calories of his juice.

N Korea missile fears in Japan:
'Whatever will be, will be'Vivek Sharma
FUSSA : Residents living
near US military bases in Japan
are facing a fresh reality: Their
neighborhoods are on the front-
line of North Korea's dis-
pute with America and if
Pyongyang were to attack,
they would have just min-
utes to shelter from
incoming missiles. "It's
impossible. There is no
way we can run away
from it," said Seijiro
Kurosawa, a 58-year-old
taxi driver in Fussa, near
Yokota Air Base. "We
don't have bunkers, shel-
ters or anything like that."
His company recently
instructed drivers to park their
cabs and take immediate refuge
in the event of an attack, but he
isn't sure where he could go.
"All we can do is run into a
department store perhaps," he
said.
A possible missile strike and
what to do about it have domi-
nated TV talk shows and other
media in Japan in recent weeks
as regional tension has spiked,
with the North Korean regime
continuing to test-fire rockets
and President Donald Trump
sending an aircraft carrier to
nearby waters in a show of force.
North Korea has yet to reach its
goal of developing a nuclear-
tipped missile that can reach the
US mainland, but its current
arsenal is capable of striking the
50,000 US troops stationed
across Japan. The government
raised caution levels in March
after Pyongyang said four ballis-
tic missiles that landed a few
hundred kilometers (miles) off
Japan's coast were meant to sim-
ulate a nuclear strike on U.S.
bases there. While Japanese
tabloids and television programs
have reported on nuclear shelters
ordered by a handful of rich peo-
ple or touted gas masks as a
more affordable option, it's
largely business as usual in
Fussa, a town of 58,000 people
in Tokyo's western suburbs.
"Whatever will be, will be," said
34-year-old Jumpei Takemiya,
who runs a shoe repair shop
across from Yokota Air Base.
"Just think calmly about it. Is
Yokota really going to be the
first one to be hit? I doubt it, and
frankly I'm not so nervous," he
said. Looking out his shop win-
dow, he added: "As you can see,
there is no heightened security
or any other unusual develop-
ment around here."
For 75-year-old Yoshio
Takagi, the talk of North Korean
missiles brings back memories
of World War II, when he had to
temporarily relocate to a rural
village to avoid American bombs
falling in and around Tokyo that
killed his two older brothers. He
remains opposed to the use of
weapons, but is also realistic
about current circum-
stances. "Tension has esca-
lated and the situation has
become more unpredictable
under Trump," he said. "But
Japan relies on the US mil-
itary and there is a base
here. I think we just have to
accept the consequences."
Visits to a government cri-
sis management website
surged to the millions in
April from a previous
record of tens of thousands
in March, as the govern-
ment tweeted and put out fresh
instructions for what to do in the
event of a missile attack. The
instructions are simple: If you
are outdoors, take refuge in
strong buildings or underground
shopping arcades and if no such
facilities are nearby, drop to the
ground and cover your head. A
chemical weapon is possible, so
the instructions advise covering
your nose and mouth with a
cloth and shutting doors and
windows. A first-ever missile
attack drill was held in March in
Akita prefecture in northern
Japan, and the government
recently instructed all 47 prefec-
tures to draw up plans quickly
for similar drills. So far, only
two others _ Yamagata in the
north and Nagasaki, home to
Sasebo naval base, in the south
— have started to make concrete
plans for drills in the coming
months.
LONDON: Former British
Prime Minister Tony Blair
said today he was plunging
back into domestic politics in
order to fight against Brexit.
Blair, who led the Labour
Party from 1994 to 2007, will
not be standing in the June 8
general election. But he said
he wanted to build a political
movement to shape the policy
debate as Britain starts its
negotiations to leave the
European Union.
Blair, 63, who was prime
minister for a decade from
1997 and whose legacy has
been defined by the Iraq war,
said he knew he would face
intense criticism for doing so.
But the ardent Europhile, who
has largely been working on
Middle East and African
issues since leaving office,
still wanted to get his "hands
dirty" and re-enter the fray,
saying voters should have the
chance to change their mind
once the final EU exit deal
becomes clear.
"This Brexit thing has
given me a direct motivation
to get more involved in the
politics," he told the Daily
Mirror newspaper. "You need
to get your hands dirty and I
will. "I know the moment I
stick my head out the door I'll
get a bucket of wotsit poured
all over me, but I really do
feel passionate about this. "I
don't want to be in the situa-
tion where we pass through
this moment of history and I
hadn't said anything because
that would mean I didn't care
about this country. I do. "I am
not sure I can turn something
into a political movement but
I think there is a body of ideas
out there people would sup-
port." He said his push was
not about defying the vote to
leave the European Union.

India’s apex association of
the events and experiential
marketing industry announced

of the world’s most popular
destinations for MICE projects
and India is the perfect partner
to work with to build sustain-
able tourism that will help both
the business of Antalya and
Turkey overall. On behalf of
the government and the people
of Turkey I welcome India’s
event industry to our country.”
On the occasion, the Event

gural EEMA Global

Turkey Opens DoorsTo India’s Event Management Industry
The growing Asia-
Pacific region is a key pri-
ority for Canada. The
Government of Canada
committed to expanding
trade with emerging mar-
kets in Asia through our
engagement in the Trance-
Pacific partnership and
active negotiations with
Japan, South Korea, and
India. Canada places great
value on our relationships
with Pacific and Asian
countries: we increased our presence on the ground
with 10 new offices in China and India since 2006,
committed new resources to the
ASEAN(Association of Southeast Asian Nations
and appointed Canada’s first-ever resident ambassa-
dor to Burma in March 2013. Canada’s engagement
in Asia-Pacific has never been stronger. We are com-
mitted to playing an even bigger role in the region
now and in the long term. Specifically, Canada is
working with global, regional and local partners
toward three goals: 1) Building Partnership, 2)
Development Assistance and 3) Economic
Engagement. Building Partnership: Asia’s economic
rise is a defining feature of the early 21st century,
and the wider Asia-Pacific region is playing an ever
more important role in the global economy and pol-
itics. Canada seeks to strengthen its deep and broad
relationships across Asia and the Pacific at every
level. Events in Asia-Pacific are of critical impor-
tance to a broad range of Canadian interests, includ-
ing prosperity and freedom, regional stability and
international security. It is in the interest of all
Canadians to continue to develop connections—
closer educational, cultural and people-to-people
links—to Asia and the Pacific so that Canada can
contribute to and learn from the region, while
advancing Canadian values and interests there.
Development Assistance: Recent economic per-
formance in Asia has resulted in considerable pover-
ty reduction, but the region still contains two thirds
of the world’s poor. More than 800 million people in
Asia live on less than $1.25 per day and remain par-
ticularly vulnerable to economic shock and the
region’s frequent natural disasters. Developing
countries in Asia face a number of challenges
including large numbers of unskilled and under-
employed members of the workforce, inadequate
infrastructure, and weak institutions for supporting
market economies, attracting foreign investment and
combating corruption.
Canada’s development assistance program in
Asia began in the 1950s and remains an important
component of our engagement in many developing
Asia-Pacific countries. From our early support to
help countries to meet basic human needs, Canadian
assistance has evolved to provide targeted technical
assistance to support institutional reforms necessary
for sustainable economic growth. Today, Global
Affairs Canada programs help Asian nations devel-
op their capacity to address the continent’s most
pressing challenges: reducing poverty; consolidat-
ing economic gains; and strengthening governance,
political inclusion, social development and environ-
mental protection. Global Affairs Canada maintains
an active development assistance presence in India,
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mongolia,
Pakistan,Philipines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, as well
as across southeast Asia. Canada also supports mul-
tilateral and global programs in Asia, as well as
Partnerships with Canadians Programs. In fiscal
year 2011-12, Canada provided approximately $1
billion in official development assistance to coun-
tries in Asia. Economic and Commercial
Engagement: Canada’s commercial presence in the
Asia-Pacific region dates back to 1895, when our
first trade commissioner was posted to Australia.
Canada, as a Pacific country, has intensified its
engagement with Asia Pacific, one of the world’s
most dynamic regions. Asia-Pacific accounts for
half of the world’s population. The Government of
Canada has prioritized key trade initiatives in its
effort to increase market access and strengthen part-
nerships in Asia.
Fast facts
Over 750 Canadian companies already do busi-
ness in India.
Japan is Canada’s largest foreign direct invest-
ment partner in Asia in 2012. More than 330
Japanese subsidiaries in Canada employ tens of
thousands of Canadians, particularly in the automo-
tive sector. Asia-Pacific countries hold four of the
top ten positions as the largest sources of interna-
tional students in Canada: China (first), India (sec-
ond), Korea (third) and Japan (seventh). China is
Canada’s second-largest trading partner, after the
United States. More Canadian direct investment
goes to ASEAN members than to either China or
India.
Australia is the fifth-largest global destination
for Canadian direct investment abroad.
Accomplishments
Since 2006, the Government of Canada has part-
nered with the four western provinces, municipali-
ties and the private sector to announce Asia-Pacific
Gateway infrastructure projects worth $3.3 billion,
including federal contributions exceeding $1.4 bil-
lion.
In August 2012, Canada announced the creation
of the Canada-ASEAN Business Council, which
focuses on advancing private-sector cooperation
between Canadian and southeast Asian businesses.
Canada and China signed a foreign investment
promotion and protection agreement (FIPA) in
September 2012. Both countries are moving forward
with their respective domestic ratification processes
to bring this agreement into force. Once implement-
ed, the FIPA will provide stronger protection to
Canadians investing in China, and facilitate the cre-
ation of jobs and economic growth in Canada.
In September 2013, Canada and India complet-
ed the exchange of diplomatic notes, which is the
final step in bringing into force the 2010 Canada-
India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement.

Special
Pramesh Kumar
The Baiyappanahalli police
have arrested a 48-year-old
woman for allegedly
employing contract killers to
murder her husband. On April
6, G. Kumar, a financier who
resided in Jogupalya was
hacked to death by three men
while he was on his way to pay
money to one of his customers
near Kalpalli graveyard.
The police said that they
have evidence including call
record details that pointed to
his wife Doreen Kumar’s
involvement.The last phone
call made to the deceased
helped the police crack the
murder case and led to the
arrest of five persons including
the wife Doreen, said a police
officer. The police have also
arrested the people who
carried out the murder: Prime
accused Sridhar and his
associates Prabhu, Patrick and
Dinesh for the murder. One
man identified as Avinash is
still on the run, two women
one of whom had called
Kumar to the spot before he
was murdered are under
surveillance and are yet to be
cleared of their involvement in
the crime, the officer added.
According to police,
Doreen was fed up with her
husband's philandering and
alcoholism. “In her confession,
she said that her husband
loaned money to women and
would often exploit them when
they failed to repay him, and
that this had been going on for
many years.” Sridhar was
known to Doreen as he had
also taken a loan of Rs 5 lakh
from Kumar. Doreen allegedly
promised to write-off the loan
if he killed her husband and
offered him Rs 30 lakh as
payment. “She gave him an
advance of Rs 2 lakh, and we
have recovered Rs. 1,40,000
from the accused,” said the
police. During the course of
investigation, the police
obtained the victim's call
records and interrogated the
last caller, a woman named
Clara. She, along with another
woman, introduced themselves
to Kumar under aliases
claiming that they needed to
borrow money from him for
their children’s school fees.
The police also found out that
Clara was given this task by
Dinesh,one of the
accused.When we interrogated
him, he confessed to crime and
said that he had received Rs 2
lakh from Sridhar to murder
Kumar. “ Investigating officer
said, “The last phone call made
to the deceased helped us
crack the case and arrest five
persons, including Doreen.”
The four other contract killers
of carrying out the attack are
Sridhar, Prabhu, Patrick and
Dinesh. One accused, Avinash,
is on the run.Two women are
under surveillance. One of
them had called Kumar to the
spot where he was murdered.
Based on this information,
Sridhar was picked up the
police which ultimately led
them to Doreen.
Commissioner of police
Praveen Sood, said that the
interesting thing is about a
murder which took place on
6th of April in a limit of
Pulakeshinagar you may
remember that one kumar of
Jogupalya was murdered
brutally in the daylight and the
complainant happened to his
wife Doreen,interesting part is
that after the whole
investigation with the arrest of
five people Doreen happens to
be one of those 5 people.This
kumar the deceased kumar was
a financier who used to give
loans to many people and
many of his clients were
women and whenever he
found that a borrower is not
able to meet the interest
commitment or even not able
to return he used to utilise
them .Doreen obviously was
aware of it and I am sure she
was not very happy about but
in a way she was a part of it
she knew it very well.During
this time one of the client
shridhar who took 5 lakh
rupees loan from kumar the
deceased and kumar,Sridhar
and Doreen all became good
friends especially Doreen and
sridhar became good
friends.We don't know what
exactly what is the extent of
friendship but Doreen
approached Shridhar that I
would not only write off your
five lakh rupees loan but also
provide you 30 lakh rupees as
a Supari if you could get rid off
kumar,and this Shridhar
therefore contacted one of the
old criminal called Prabhu,
Prabhu is already involved in
an attempt to murder case in J
C Nagar police station.Prabhu
contacted one Dinesh who is
also one of involved in a
attempt to murder in K R
Puram and Robbery case in
Indiranagar incidentally dinesh
was arrested in another
Robbery case very recently
which pertained robbery of 19
lakh rupees from Indiranagar
very very recently about one
month back.Dinesh brings two
more friends Avinash and
Patrick and all of them take
help of two other ladies Clara
and Revathi,through them
through the both ladies a trap is
led through a phone call kumar
the deceased is called to a
particular place and he is
murdered brutally.With this
detection we have actually
arrested five
people,Dinesh,Patrick,Prabhu,
Shridhar and Doreen,Doreen is
the person who has given
Supari of 30 lakh rupees our
DCP,Ajay Hillori his ACP
,Sajjad khan and especially
one constable vinod has done
wonderful work in detecting
this case because it was very
sensational murder case.
Especially vinod is been
sanctioned a constable has
been sanctioned 20,000 rupees
reward in addition to the
genreal reward to the whole
team,so I appreciate the good
work done and solving this
mystery which looks like a
film story in a short period of
time .

Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE:
6724, "Epson") announces that
cumulative global sales of Epson’s
high-capacity InkTank inkjet printers
have reached 20 million units. In India
alone, Epson says it has sold in excess
of 1.7 Million InkTank printers since
its launch in 2011. Epson first launched
high-capacity ink tank printers in
October 2010 in Indonesia. This was
followed almost immediately by their
launch in India in 2011. Since then, the
printers have continued to be
introduced in about 150 countries and
regions. Sales have grown steadily in
every region where these printers are
sold. In June 2016, cumulative sales
reached 15 million globally, with
growth especially pronounced in
emerging markets. By March 2017 this
number has grown to 20 Million units.
According to Epson research, Epson’s
series of high-capacity ink tank inkjet
printers make up about 10% of the
combined laser printer/inkjet printer
market in those countries (which
totaled about 45 million units in the
fiscal year ended March 2016).
Epson believes that the strong
support from customers is the result of
the merits of the series, including the
elimination of the need to change ink
cartridges, lower printing costs, and a
smaller volume of resource waste from
the use of consumables. The extremely
low cost per print of 7 paise for Black
and 18 paise for Composite Colour has
struck a chord with consumers and
Epson has seen its sale in India go up
exponentially over the years. As per the
IDC Asia Pacific Hardcopy Peripheral
Tracker (2016Q4 release) Epson is
currently the No. 1 Inkjet printer brand
in India by Value with a Market Share
of 54.8% for the period Jan-Dec 2016.

ODI series, against New
Zealand, won the five-match
series 3-2 © Getty
South Africa have main-
tained the numero uno spot in
the ICC ODI rankings follow-
ing the annual update on
Monday (May 1). Australia,
meanwhile, continue to trail
in the second spot whereas
India and New Zealand have
swapped position to claim the
third and the fourth spot
respectively.
Defending champions at
the upcoming ICC
Champions Trophy in
England, India gained five
points to climb to the third
spot while New Zealand, who
earned only two points,
dropped to fourth.
However, it is the tussle
between eight-ranked
Pakistan and ninth-placed
West Indies that gets interest-
ing in the months leading up
to the September 30, 2017
deadline to qualify automati-
cally for the 2019 ICC
Cricket World Cup. Both
Pakistan and West Indies lost
points following the update -
Pakistan slipping from 90
points to 88 while West Indies
sliding from 83 points to 79.
But Pakistan, as per the latest
update, boast of a nine-point
advantage over West Indies
which can prove decisive as
to which team gains the last
available automatic qualifica-
tion spot for the mega-event
in 2019 in England. Hosts
England, currently at the fifth
spot, and the next seven best-
ranked teams make it to the
cricket's premier quadrennial
competition. Sri Lanka (sixth)
and Bangladesh (seventh)
occupy the next two spots in
the 12-team table, despite los-
ing points. Even though
Bangladesh have dropped a
point, their lead over Pakistan
has increased to three points.
Sri Lanka, despite losing five
points, can be all but assured
of a top-eight finish as its lead
over West Indies is now 14
points. Afghanistan (10th),
Zimbabwe (11th) and Ireland
(12th) continue to hold on to
their spots. The annual update
is carried out by the ICC to
ensure the points table
reflects the recent forms of
the teams. Consequently, the
current rankings are based on
the performances from May
1, 2014, with matches played
from May 1, 2016 carrying
100 per cent weightage.

MUMBAI: National
football coach Stephen
Constantine on Friday said
that more Indian players
should play overseas as they
have the ability to match the
foreign footballers.
"I think more Indian
players should try to go
abroad. They definitely
have the ability. I have
coached in a number of
places around the world and
we don't have anything to be
afraid of in terms of ability,"
said the Englishman at the
press conference here ahead
of Saturday's international
friendly against Puerto
Rico.

"We need to start a little
bit younger. There's a need
to be a development process
and that needs to happen at a
very young age. If I was an
Indian player in this current
national team, I would have
liked to play outside for my
own development," he
added. Constantine said he
was amazed at the sudden
transformation of the
ground in the suburban
Andheri Sports Complex in
less than 10 days since he
came here and termed it
"lastminute.com". "About
10-12 days ago I came down
to see the pitch and how the
work was going on because
you can't have an interna-
tional game if the pitch is
not how it's supposed to be.
So I flew down and met Mr
(Aditya) Thackeray (Yuva
Sena chief) and his staff. I
must say, I shouldn't say this
but in India we can do any-
thing we want, whenever we
want, at "lastminute.com".
"In the space of eight-to-
nine days, from when I was
here to now, the improve-
ment has been unbelievable.
Am I surprised? I wish we
would do this a lot more and
a lot sooner so that I would-
n't have to lose what little
hair I have on top of my
head. They have done a fan-
tastic job and all credit goes
to them."
The model considerably

eral body meeting. BCCI has

NEW DELHI: The Indian
cricket board (BCCI) will
meet on Sunday to consider
an additional revenue offer
from the game's world gov-
erning body but regardless of
what decision they come to, a
Champions Trophy pullout by
the holders looks unlikely.
Unaccustomed to being
snubbed at the International
Cricket Council (ICC) meet-
ings, the BCCI was outvoted
13-1 last week in its bid to
stall a new revenue model
which considerably slashes
India's share from global
events in the 2015-2023
cycle.
Unimpressed by the $293
million forecast, down from
the $570 million it would
have received under the 2014
arrangement, the BCCI
responded by refusing to
name the squad for next
month's Champions Trophy
before the April 25 deadline.
ICC president Shashank
Manohar, a former BCCI
chief, has tabled an additional
$100 million and the India
board will discuss the offer at
Sunday's special general body
meeting.
The operations of the
BCCI are currently being
supervised by four court-
appointed administrators and
the head of the committee,
Vinod Rai, told Reuters last
week that it was "too early" to
comment on a possible pull-
out Champions Trophy.

to the table. Strowman pun-
ished Reigns further with
repeated knee strikes but
Reigns got enough space and
movement to deliver a super-
man punch but Strowman had
it well scouted and caught
Reigns, but Reigns escaped
and picked Strowman up for a
Samoan Drop. Strowman still
wasn't down but a cactus
clothesline had both men
down.

13. A healthy sleep is a shortcut to a
healthy life. But owing to stress,
topsy turvy routines, bad dietary
habits and other lifestyle factors,
many of us have trouble falling
asleep, while others have trouble
staying asleep. A new study from the
University of Pennsylvania says that
the key nutrients like carbohydrates,
calcium and magnesium play an
important role in regulating sleep.
Eating the correct foods just before
you hit the bed may help you fall
asleep faster and deeper. Here is a list
of foods which can act as ‘sleep pro-
moters’ if you have them before bed-
time.
Bananas are high in potassium and
magnesium. Potassium helps to calm
restless legs and avoid leg cramps,
whereas magnesium helps relax
nerves and muscles. Bananas also
promote healthy digestion and
improve blood circulation
The natural sugar in honey slight-
ly raises insulin and helps tryptophan
in entering the brain more easily.
Tryptophan makes serotonin and
melatonin which are our body clock
hormones and, as mentioned above,
manage our sleep-awake cycle. So, a
spoonful of honey before bedtime or
some mixed with chamomile tea
could give you a more restful sleep.
Lettuce contains lactucarium
which has sedative properties and
affects the brain in a similar way as
opium does. A salad with lettuce at
dinner or a concoction of brewed let-
tuce in water and mint can make you
sleep faster.
Your sleep-awake cycle is regulat-
ed by ‘serotonin and melatonin’
which are your body clock hormones.
Walnuts are a good source of trypto-
phan, which is a sleep enhancing
amino acid and helps to make sero-
tonin and melatonin. So, if you can’t
have a peaceful sleep, it’s a good
option to have 1-2 walnuts before you
go to bed.
Almonds are rich in magnesium, a
mineral needed for good quality
sleep. A study published in Journal of
Orthomolecular Medicine found that
when the body’s magnesium levels
are low, it becomes harder to sleep.
Not just this, almonds are also a rem-
edy for headache.
Cherries, particularly tart cherries,
boost levels of melatonin and help
you sleep faster. According to
researchers from the Universities of
Pennsylvania and Rochester, cherry
juice can make you fall asleep faster.
A study was performed to assess this
theory. For this, a group of people
who had insomnia consumed cherry
juice before bedtime. They saw an
improvement in their insomnia symp-
toms.
Eggs contain vitamin D which is
said to have a good impact on your
sleep. Vitamin D targets the neurons
in the part of brain that helps you to
sleep. A study suggests that people
who are deficient in vitamin D have a
hard time catching forty winks.
Any dairy product can help you
sleep better because of their high cal-
cium content. Calcium helps the
brain use tryptophan to manufacture
sleep triggering melatonin.
According to National Sleep
Foundation, a bowl of your favorite
flakes can help you get better sleep as
they combine two components - car-
bohydrate (from cereal) and calcium
(from milk), both of which help you
sleep better.
Chamomile tea helps to relieve
stress and thus, helps you in falling
asleep faster. It contains glycine, a
chemical that helps relax muscles and
nerves and acts as a mild sedative.
We all know eating too much
sugar is bad for our health. Now if
you are watching your weight and
your diet diligently, you surely know
how big an evil it can be. Yet a lot of
times without realising we end up
eating foods that have high sugar
content. Let's take a look at these
'not-so-healthy' foods.

New Delhi : Lungs in Delhi
seem to be in dire straits. In the
midst of ever thickening air
pollution and life style gone
astray, lung power is ebbing
fast. We are so engrossed in
our choice of modern living
that we have lost sight of the
very organ that pumps life into
our body day in and day out.
Lung is the ‘heart’ of the mat-
ter for long and healthy living
but its capacity is at its lowest
ebb. Lest your life collapses,
thanks to ever weakening lung,
it is high time to know your
lung number and try to restore
its capacity. Pirometry test,
which measures lung’s capaci-
ty, is the need of the hour.
Breathfree movement under-
lines the dire straits lung has
got into and prescribes ways to
get out of it. According to the
WHO estimates, India has the
largest number of deaths due
to chronic respiratory diseases
in the world. Most number of
asthma deaths in the world
occurs in India, and in deaths
due to Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
India ranks number two after
China. Chronic exposures to
indoor and outdoor air pollu-
tants have been a major risk
factor for the growing burden
of chronic respiratory diseases
in India. 235 million people
suffer from asthma. It is the
most common chronic disease
among children. Asthma is not
just a public health problem
for high income countries: it
occurs in all countries regard-
less of level of development.
Asthma is under-diagnosed
and under-treated, creating a
substantial burden to individu-
als and families and possibly
restricting individuals ‘activi-
ties for a lifetime. For most, it
can be the triggering cause of
asthma and one of the first
steps to identify your lung
health is to ‘know your lung
number’. Lung function means
how well your lungs work.
When you have asthma, your
lungs can't move as much air
in and out as they should. And
the more serious your asthma
is, the less air your lungs are
able to move. In the same man-
ner, an asthmatic patient or
people who feel breathless
should make a point to get
their lung function checked.
The check-up will help you
‘know your lung number’. The
number is obtained through
simple and inexpensive pul-
monary function tests like
spirometry test. Stretching on
the importance of lung check-
up, Dr. Karan Madan,
Assistant Professor,
Department of Pulmonary
Medicine and Sleep Disorders,
AIIMS highlighted that, “We
should remember that asthma
is a long-term disease that has

Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer
Hospital & Research Centre
reveals, "We get almost 100-
150 patients with this cancer
every month. Bladder cancer
starts inside the lining of the
bladder. When this cancer
spreads to some other part of
the body, it is called advanced
bladder cancer. This cancer is
believed to have a high rate of
recurrence. Most commonly
when bladder cancer spreads,
it happens close to the blad-
der like in ureters, urethra,
vagina or prostate. However,
in some cases it can have a
distant spread to the lymph
nodes, lungs, liver and even
bones." There are an estimat-
ed 383,000 number of
patients suffering from blad-
der cancer across the world.
The cancer mostly occurs in
older people but recently has
been diagnosed in younger
age groups as well. However,
the average age of diagnosis
remains 60.
