BJP’s enforcer Amit Shah to
visit Mumbai, aid cabinet

Mumbai: TheBJP’sen-
forcer, Union Home
Minister Amit Shah’s
proposed Mumbai visit
on September 05 is ex-
pected to provide the
impetus to resolve any
lingering discord with-
in the Chief Minister
Eknath Shinde led alli-
ance government with
Deputy Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis’
party
.
While Shah’s official
schedule seeks to limit
the visit to seeking di-
vine blessings, Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’spoliticaltrouble-
shooter will likely re-
solve any residual has-
sles remaining in the
second phase expan-
sion for cabinet induc-
tions of MLAs into the
Maharashtra Council
of Ministers.
During the first ex-
pansion (of 18 new min-
isters on August 08), the
BJPhighcommandhad
given in to compulsions
of coalition politics,
conceding to not only
CM Shinde’s pick of
nine new cabinet col-
leagues but also allow-
ing Dy CM Fadnavis of
the BJP a free hand to
leverage his political
authority over the par-
tyinMaharashtra.This
was notwithstanding a
high command’s initial
directive (of limiting
new inductions to 13 on
August 03) of a lean
cabinet in the first go.
A person familiar
with the development
hadthensaid,“TheBJP
top leadership had
sought a lean team
whichalongwithanem-
phasisonyouth,women
and untainted MLAs. It
had also advised due
representation to SC/
ST, other backward
castes (OBC) along with
urban Gujarati and
Marathi candidates,
which did not take pace
in toto. The backdrop of
thepoliticalsetbacksuf-
fered in Bihar also
played a role in the
BJP’s decision to con-
cedetoregionalimpera-
tives in Maharashtra.”
With discontent
brewing, predominant-
lyamongtheremaining
41 MLAs (both rebel
Shiv Sena and inde-
pendents) in CM Shin-
de’s political formation
still to crystalise into a
single political entity,
meeting expectations
of all ministerial aspir-
ants had scuttled the
BJP high command’s
plans.
“On the other hand,
ninenewBJPministers
also missed out on di-
rectives by the party
leadership, especially
onaspectsof urbanrep-
resentation keeping in
mind the forthcoming
civic elections across 23
municipalities in Ma-
harashtra. Another big
cabinet expansion (tak-
ingittothefullstrength
of 44-odd ministers)
may follow during 10
days of the Ganesh
Chhaturti festival that
begins August 31 .
Shah’s visit will help
iron out wrinkles re-
maining over the cabi-
net expansion plan if, it
is not accomplished be-
fore his Mumbai visit,”
a senior BJP leader
said.
According to the
leader, “All eyes are fo-
cused on the Supreme
Court hearing before a
constitution bench,
which is scheduled for
Monday, and how the
judiciary views the le-
gitimacy of the Eknath
Shinde faction that is
ruling Maharashtra.
On the cabinet front the
remaining deficiencies
(read: urban, youth and
women’s representa-
tion) will be resolved.
Anyexistingdissidence
of not being accommo-
datedinthecabinetwill
be neutralized through
appointments to state
body’s with minister of
state rank for the rebel
Sena MLAs.”

ter Eknath Shinde on
Sunday directed the
state administration to
create a separate lane
at the toll plazas on the
Mumbai-Pune Ex-
pressway for the vehi-
cles heading to the 10-

A statement from
the chief minister’s of-
fice said the decision

visit by Shinde to the
Khalapur toll plaza. He
took the decision after
meeting officials there,
it added.
CM Shinde has also
asked for increased
manpower to prevent
traffic congestion and
rush at toll plazas dur-
ing the festivals and
holidays, and directed
the authorities to
strengthen the CCTV
system to prevent ac-
cidents and ensure se-
curity on the express-
way

ways as well as toll pla-
zas of other Public
Works Department

gust 27 to September
11 in view of Ganesh
festival.
The move was aimed
at providing a relief to
Ganpati devotees trav-
elling from different
parts of the state to the
coastal Konkan belt of
the state.

an assessment of Bharat24,
fastest growing Hindi news
channel. In both states, govts
will repeat on face of PM
Narendra Modi and strategy
of HM Amit

Sunday, a huge
crowd reached
events of Modi
Shah in
Gujarat. In Guj,
BJP is expected to get 109
seats, Cong 68, remaining
5 may go to independents
and other parties. This means
there is no chance for AAP in
Guj. However, commenting
on these possible results in
Guj, a political observer said,
“Guj has a general perception
of clean sweep of BJP with
130 to 135 seats.” Now, it
will only be clear on counting
day that which assessment
proves to be correct. In HP,
BJP is likely to get 45 seats,
Cong 21 seats, Independents
and other parties may get 3
seats. Assembly polls may be

Mumbai: The Shiv
Sena on Sunday ques-
tioned the silence of
Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi and
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on the re-
lease of 11 convicts in
the Bilkis Bano case
and also asked if fe-
licitation of rapists
was “Hindu culture”.
The comments were
made in Rokhthok col-
umn of the Sena
mouthpiece ‘Saamana’,
which carried the ‘Ka-
daknath Mumbaikar’
byline and not of the
Marathi daily’s execu-
tive editor Sanjay Raut,
who is currently in jail
on money laundering
charges.
Why are Modi and
Shah quiet on this is-
sue? Just because
Bilkis Bano is a Mus-
lim, the crime against
her cannot be forgiven,
it said.
“It is not a Hin-
du-Muslim issue, but a
matter of the soul of
Hindutva and prestige
of our great culture,”
the Sena said.
“When the PM visits
Gujarat, he should visit
her (Bilkis Bano) and
extended his support,”
it said.
Bilkis Bano was five
months pregnant when
she was gang-raped
while fleeing the riots
which broke out after
the Godhra train burn-
ing in 2002. Her three-
year-old daughter was
among the seven killed.
The 11 men convict-
ed in the case walked
out of the Godhra sub-
jail on August 15 after
the Gujarat govern-
ment allowed their re-
lease under its remis-
sion policy. They had
completed more than
15 years in jail. Some
reports had claimed
that they were felicitat-
ed by local leaders
upon release.
Several organiza-
tions across the coun-
try have protested
against the release of
the convicts by the Gu-
jarat government in
the Bilkis Bano case.
The column in
‘Saamana’ stated that
Nationalist Congress
Party (NCP) president
Sharad Pawar says PM
Modi does not practice
what he preaches. “The
Bilkis case has proven
him right,” it said.
It is surprising that
the convicts were re-
leased when PM Modi
spoke of women em-
powerment in his Inde-
pendence Day speech,
the Marathi publica-
tion said.

work, at an estimat-
ed cost of Rs15 lakh,

the Ghrishneshwar
temple at Ellora once

ra, deputy superin-
tending archaeologi-
cal chemist of sci-

The exterior of the

(special shrine dedicat-
ed to Lord Shiva), is
built using red basalt
rock,whilethe“shikha-
ra“(spire)of thetemple

ra said. The “shikhara“
rises as a single tower
withspiresof diminish-
ing sizes, and the lower-
most band has sculp-

carved on it.
“The work will com-
mence after the mon-

carried out over a peri-
od of two months. The
upper portion of the
temple has blackened a
little and plaster con-
solidation of this layer
will be done along with
restoration of sculp-
tures,” Misra said, add-
ing that the ASI re-
stored the interiors of
the temple last year.
The temple was de-
stroyed and rebuilt
several times during
the Mughal-Maratha
conflict. According to
the ASI, the temple
was restored by Malo-
jiraje Bhosale, an an-
cestor of Chhatrapati

17th century and was
again restored by
Ahilyabai Holkar in

Congress will not survive a
‘puppet’ president: Chavan
By Anwarul Haque
New Delhi: Former
Maharashtra chief
minister Prithviraj
Chavan on Sunday
cautioned that the
Congress will not sur-
vive if someone is
made a “puppet presi-
dent“ as the party an-
nounced the schedule
to elect its new chief.
Stating that elections
should be held for all
posts, including the
Congress Working
Committee (CWC),
Chavan who is a mem-
ber of the G-23 dissi-
dent group said the ur-
gent steps are needed to
save the party and the
“backseat driving“ will
not work.
On Ghulam Nabi
Azad’s resignation, he
said, “His resignation
is unfortunate... Elec-
tions are due in Jammu
and Kashmir and
Himachal Pradesh. In
JK a very junior and
outsider (Tariq Ha-
meed Karra) was made
the head of the Politi-
cal Affairs Committee
(PAC) and Azad Saheb
was made a member.
What was the reason
for this? Was this dis-
cussed?,” Chavan
asked.
“There was no need
to humiliate Azad sa-
hib. There was no need
to say that he has no
value,” Chavan said in
an interview.
“On one hand Sonia
Gandhi tried to include
leaders like Ghulam
Nabi Azad and Anand
Sharma in the election
campaign. He was also
given some responsibil-
ity. The people at the
bottom, whom Azad sa-
hib called “coterie”,
did not even listen to
Sonia ji.”
On the issues raised
by Azad in his resigna-
tion letter, he said,
“There are some per-
sonal allegations in
Azad’s resignation let-
ter, I will not say any-
thing on them. The is-
sues raised in the earli-
er letter (of August,
2020) are valid. We stand
by that even today
.”
Azad had on Friday
resigned from the par-
ty’s primary member-
ship and all posts, al-
leging that the Con-
gress leadership was
cheating in the name
of internal elections.
He had also accused
Rahul Gandhi of “im-
mature and childish”
behaviour.
The Congress had
hit back at Azad, accus-
ing him of betraying
the party and said that
“his DNA has been
Modi-fied”.
The Congress Work-
ing Committee on Sun-
day decided to hold the
election for the party’s
full-time president on
October 17.

An important
issue is that if
Rahul Gan-
dhi has said that nei-
ther he, nor anyone
from his family will
be Congress presi-
dent, then why
shouldn’t he be be-
lieved? If they are not
made then another
alternative arrange-
ment will have to be
made. Elections
should be held and
then someone will be-
come the president.
You decide the
date of the
election, who-
ever has to fill the
form will come. Why
are you causing the re-
verse process? You will
confirm the name in
advance and then con-
duct elections, does
this ever happen?
Hold elections, whoev-
er has to fight, will
fight…. If backseat
driving continues, the
party will not be able
to survive.

Aadhaar centre helps 14
peoplereunitewithfamily
Charles Salve
Nagpur: A simple ap-
plication for Aadhaar
card in Maharashtra
changed the lives of
14 people, who were
reported missing by
their families in vari-
ous parts of the coun-
try years ago.
The Aadhaar Seva
Kendra (ASK) in
Mankapur has been in-
strumental in reuniting
persons with disabili-
ties, women, and oth-
ers, with their families
scattered across the
country in the past year.
The centre’s manager
Honorary Captain Anil
Marathe identified cas-
es in which applica-
tions would get rejected
because of issues with
biometrics during the
registration process.
It all started last year
with the application
of an 18-year-old men-
tally challenged man,
whose school needed
his Aadhaar card de-
tails. However, his ap-
plication would get re-
jected each time due to
issues with biometrics,
Marathe said.
Marathe has been
making a special effort,
with the help of the
UIDAI technical centre
in Bengaluru and the
regional office in Mum-
bai, to get Aadhaar de-
tails of persons report-
ed missing based on
their biometric data.
The boy was found at
a railway station when
he was eight years old
and was looked after by
an orphanage and later
by one Samarth Damle,
who got him admitted
to a school, he said.
When the boy’s appli-
cation got rejected re-
peatedly, Damle ap-
proached the centre in
Mankapur and found
that his Aadhaar regis-
trationhadalreadybeen
done in 2011, before he
was reported missing.
“Investigations re-
vealed that the boy, Mo-
hammed Aamir, had
gone missing from his
home in Jabalpur. Us-
ing his Aadhaar details,
we were able to reunite
him with his family,”

Pune: When Dat-
tatray Ware, a nation-
al award-winning
teacher, was trans-
ferred to the govern-
ment school in the
remote hamlet of
Jalindernagar in
Pune district, it had
only 13 students on its
rolls. The dilapidated
primary school did
not even have a prop-
er approach road.
Today, not only is en-
rolment at an all-time
high, it also has a well-
equipped laboratory, a
library, laptops and
even Virtual Reality
(VR) goggles among
other educational aids.
“When I joined this
school, I decided to turn
it around,” he said.
Ware consulted head-
master Sandip Mhas-
udge—hiterto the only
teacher at the “ZP (Zilla
Parishad) school”—
about his plans.
“We then spoke to the
locals and sought their
participation in re-
vamping the school,
both in terms of infra-
structure and a qualita-
tive change in stu-
dents,” Ware said.
The leaking roof was
replaced by polythene
sheets, the floor was
spruced up with marble
tiles and the construc-
tion of a compound
wall also started with
the help of government
funds.
Setting a target of 100
days for the physical re-
vamp, they utilized the
summer vacation to the
fullest.
“By the time we
opened the school for
the new academic year
in June, more than 150
students were seeking
admission,” Ware said,
“We had to reject half
the applications as the
schools where they were
already enrolled would
have been closed down
due to the exodus.”
Mhasudge, his col-
league, said the
school was on the verge
of shutting down in
2018 for want of stu-
dents. —PTI

KEJRIWAL’S OWN
AMBITIONS ARE
PROMPTING HIM
TO TAKE ON BJP
he Aam Aadmi Party
is not holding its
punches against the
BJP. At a special as-
semblysessioncalled
a few days back to prove his
strength Delhi Chief Minister
Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the
BJP wants to topple his govern-
ment by buying out his AAP leg-
islators. He alleged that the BJP
had set aside Rs 800 crore to buy
his 40 MLAs, offering them Rs 20
crore each. Calling BJP a “serial
killer” , Kejriwal cited the exam-
ples of Maharashtra and Goa
where elected governments
were brought down by the BJP
and said that the same pattern
was being followed in Delhi
when CBI raided Deputy Chief
Minister Manish Sisodia’s
premises.
Kejriwal also put his national
ambition on the table when he
directlyattackedPrimeMinister
Narendra Modi. He said that the
raid on Sisodia was not part of
the fight against corruption but
was “to satisfy one man’s lust for
power”. Can Arvind Kejriwal
hide his own lust for power?

tion of building construction

anceof someNOIDAofficials.
The gap between the two tow-
ers was only 16 metres.
It took nine years for the
Residents’ Welfare Associa-
tion (RWA) to win the legal
battle against the developers
after they filed a case in the
AllahabadHighCourtin2012.
After the high court ordered
demolition of the twin towers
in 2014, the developer sought
relief from the Supreme
Court which upheld the dem-
olition order in 2021 and also
ordered for buyers’ money to
be refunded with interest.
The demolition of the tall
structures, India’s first, was
a sight to watch. Carried out
with complete technical effi-
ciency, it met all safety pa-
rameters. Even the dust
clouds that arose from the
site did not disturb the air
quality level. Nor did the im-
plosion cause much collater-
al damage.
At the root of the problem,
however, was corruption
along with the alleged com-
plicity of NOIDA officials.
Theconnivancebetweenoffic-
ers and engineers of various
development authorities has
allowed scores of illegal con-
structions to come up in state
after state. To avoid such oc-
currences in future, stricter
monitoring of the staff at de-
velopment authorities is re-
quired and as punishment to
them and the developers all
illegal constructions should
be demolished. Strict preven-
tive measures are needed as

Why commodity prices are
likely to fall further?
ambridge – Big movements in
the prices of oil, minerals,
and agricultural commodi-
ties have been among the
most salient economic devel-
opments of the past couple of
years. The sharp rise in com-
modity prices for much of
this period was virtually im-
possible to miss. A barrel of
Brent crude that sold for $20
in April 2020, during the first
wave of the COVID-19 pan-
demic, fetched a peak of $122
in March 2022, just after Rus-
sia invaded Ukraine.
Oil was not the only com-
modity to experience a price
surge. The price of copper
doubled; wheat more than
doubled; and global indices of
commodity prices almost tri-
pled from April 2020 to March
2022. And these increases are
in dollar terms; prices in eu-
ros,yen,won,orothercurren-
cies rose even more.
Lesswidelynoted,however,
is that the prices of many
commodities fell this sum-
mer. The price of oil de-
creasedbyabout30%between
early June and mid-August.
The politically sensitive price
of gasoline in the United
States fell by 20% over the
same period, from $5 per gal-
lon to $4 per gallon. The over-
all index fell 12%.
Is this dip in commodity
prices just temporary? Or is it
a sign that prices have peaked
and can be expected to decline
further?
Commodity prices are
highly correlated. One reason
is direct microeconomic link-
ages. When the price of oil
rises, wheat producers’ costs
increase (because harvesting
equipment runs on diesel and
fertilizer is made from natu-
ral gas), which puts upward
pressure on grain prices.
Moreover, as the US Feder-
al Reserve and other central
banks tighten monetary poli-
cy
, real interest rates are like-
ly to rise. This will probably
pushdowncommodityprices,
and not just because high real
interest rates make a reces-
sion more likely
. The level of
realinterestratesaffectscom-
modity prices independently
of GDP, both in theory and
empirically
.
The theory of the relation-
ship between real interest
ratesandcommoditypricesis
long-established. The sim-
plest intuition behind the re-
lationship is that the interest
rate is a “cost of carrying”
inventories. An increase in
the interest rate reduces
firms’ demand for holding in-
ventories and therefore low-
ers the commodity price.
Three other mechanisms
operate, in addition to inven-
tories. First, for an exhausti-
ble resource, a rise in the in-
terest rate increases the in-
centive to extract today and
thus expand the available
supply
. Second, for “financial-
ized” commodities, an in-
crease in the interest rate en-
courages institutional inves-
tors to shift out of the com-
modities asset class and into
Treasury bills. Lastly, for a
commodity that is interna-
tionally traded, an increase in
the domestic real interest rate
causes a real appreciation of
the domestic currency
, which
works to lower the domestic-
currency price of the com-
modity
.
Econometric analyses have
demonstrated the statistical
relationship between real in-
terest rates and commodity
prices. These include simple
correlations; regressions that
control for other important
determinants, such as GDP
and inventories in a “carry
trade” model; and high-fre-
quency event studies that are
much less sensitive to the
econometric problems of the
regressions.
Two episodes illustrate
that the effect of real interest
rates on commodity prices
operates independently of
the GDP effect. Neither the
spike in dollar commodity
prices in the first half of 2008
nor the decline in 2014-15 can
be explained by fluctuations
in economic activity. They
can instead be interpreted as
the result, respectively, of
loose US monetary policy
(quantitative easing) and a
tightening of US monetary
policy with the end of QE.

challenge for Congress
with the reluctance of
Rahul Gandhi to contest
the polls. According to
sources, the Central
Election Authority has
made preparations to
complete the election
process on time.

cess seems to remain
stuck since Rahul Gan-
dhi is not willing to con-
test the election for the
post of Congress prez,
although all the efforts
to convince him are still
going on. Meanwhile,

bark on ‘Bharat Jodo

Global market trends, macro data to guide domestic stocks
New Delhi (PTI): Trading
in the domestic stock mar-
ket would be influenced by
trends in the global equi-
ties, macroeconomic data
and foreign fund move-
ment in a holiday-short-
ened week, analysts said.
Markets may face vola-
tile trends on Monday after
Federal Reserve Chair Je-
rome Powell’s speech at the
Fed’s annual economic
symposium in Jackson
Hole on Friday
.
“Powell sounded ultra
hawkishinhisbrief speech
at Jackson Hole. Markets
will be concerned about the
tight monetary conditions
persisting longer than ex-
pected. The near-term im-
pact on equity markets will
be negative,” V K Vijayaku-
mar, Chief Investment
Strategist at Geojit Finan-
cial Services, said.
“The direction of global
markets will be the domi-
nant factor for this week
while on the domestic
front, India’s GDP num-
ber and August auto sales
numbers will be impor-
tant factors. Apart from
this, the market will also
have an eye on the move-
ment of crude oil prices,
the dollar index, and the
US bond yields,” Santosh
Meena, Head of Research,
Swastika Investmart
Ltd, said.
The Purchasing Manag-
ers’ Index (PMI) data
for the manufacturing
sector, scheduled to be an-
nounced on Thursday,
would also influence trad-
ing, analysts said.
“This week is a holiday-
shortened one and it marks
the beginning of the new
month also so, participants
will be eyeing important
data like auto sales num-
bers. Amid all, the perfor-
mance of the global indices
especially the US would
remain on the radar for
cues,” Ajit Mishra, VP - Re-
search, Religare Broking
Ltd, said.
The investment pattern
of Foreign Institutional In-
vestors (FIIs) and the ru-
pee-dollar trends would
also continue to drive mar-
kets. Last week, the Sensex
tumbled 812.28 points or
1.36%, while the Nifty lost
199.55 points or 1.12%.

Financial inclusion big step
towards growth: Nirmala
FINANCE MINISTER SAYS
New Delhi (PTI): Finan-
cial inclusion is a major
step towards inclusive
growth which ensures the
overall economic develop-
ment of the marginalised
sections of the society, Fi-
nance Min Nirmala Sithar-
aman said on Sunday
.
The success of the Prad-
han Mantri Jan Dhan Yo-
jana (PMJDY) since August
28, 2014 is reflected in terms
of opening of over 46 crore
bank accounts with deposit
balance of `1.74 lakh crore
with its expanded coverage
to 67% rural or semi-urban
areas as well as 56% of
women Jan Dhan account
holders, she said on the
eighth anniversary of the
flagship financial inclu-
sion scheme.
Continuation of PM-
JDY beyond 2018 saw a
marked shift in approach
to meet challenges and re-
quirements of the emerg-
ing FI (financial inclusion)
landscape in the country
.
There has been a shift
in focus from 'every house-
hold' to 'every adult', with
added emphasis on usage
of accounts by enhancing
Direct Benefit Transfer
(DBT) flows through these
accounts, promoting digi-
tal payments through the
use of RuPay cards, etc, an
official statement quoted.
The underlying pillars
of PMJDY -- namely, bank-
ing the unbanked, securing
the unsecured and funding
the unfunded -- has made it
possible to adopt multi-
stakeholders' collaborative
approach while leveraging
technology for serving the
unserved and underserved
areas as well, she observed.
She also said the JAM
(Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mo-
bile) pipeline created
through account holders'
consent-based linking of
bank accounts with Aad-
har and mobile numbers of
the account holders, which
is one of the important pil-
lars of the financial inclu-
sion ecosystem, has ena-
bled instant DBT under
various government wel-
fare schemes to the eligible
beneficiaries.

New Delhi (PTI): India's
diesel exports fell by 11%
in July and overseas ship-
ment of petrol dropped by
4.5% after the government
slapped a windfall profit
tax on such sales, official
data showed.
Diesel exports dropped
to 2.18 million tonnes in
July from 2.45 million
tonnes a month back, data
from the Oil Ministry's Pe-
troleum Planning and
Analysis Cell (PPAC)
showed. Similarly, petrol
exports fell to 1.1 million
tonnes from 1.16 million
tonnes in June.
India first imposed
windfall profit taxes on
July 1, joining a growing
number of nations that
taxes super normal profits
of energy companies. Ex-
port duties of `6 per litre
were levied on petrol and
aviation turbine fuel and
`13 a litre on diesel.
The duties were partial-
ly adjusted in three rounds
on July 20, August 2 and
August 19, and have now
been removed for petrol,
with `7 per litre and `2 per
litre remaining for diesel
and ATF, respectively
.
In July, India exported
4.68 million tonnes of pe-
troleum products, 82% of
which was petrol, diesel
and ATF. ATF exports
were marginally down to
583,000 tonnes in July
from 591,000 tonnes in the
previous month, the PPAC
data showed.
Diesel exports in March
touched the second highest
level of 3.36 million tonnes,
before tapering to 2.7 mil-
lion tonnes in the following
month. They rose to 3.05
million tonnes in May and
fell to 2.45 million tonnes in
June. The highest ever
amount of diesel was ex-
ported in April 2020 when
3.4 million tonnes of the
fuel was shipped. Petrol ex-
ports peaked at 1.6 million
tonnes in March.

construction, the
state-run planning
authority City and In-
dustrial Development
Corporation (CIDCO)
on Sunday said it cast
500 slabs in just 489
days at its mass hous-
ing scheme project
under the Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojana
(PMAY) at Taloja.
The apartments un-
der this scheme will be
made available to peo-
ple from the Economi-
cally Weaker Sections
and Low Income Group
categories. CIDCO has
emphasized completing
construction of these
apartments quickly
without compromising
the quality to fulfil the
dream of a home for
common people, an of-
ficial said.
Earlier, CIDCO had
completed the construc-
tion of a 12-storey build-
ing comprising 96 apart-
ments—also under
PMAY—in just 96 days.
The complex in Baman-
dongri in Navi Mumbai
was built in between
April 04 and July 09 this
year due to the use of
modern pre-cast tech-
nology, a system in
whichconcreteiscastin
a reusable mould, treat-
ed and transported to
the construction site,
the agency had stated at
the time.
“CIDCO has set an
objective of complet-
ing the construction of
apartments under the
scheme in less time,
with the use of ad-
vanced technology.
The casting of 500
slabs in 489 days is a
next stage after ‘Mis-
sion 96’ under this ob-
jective,” Dr Sanjay
Mukherjee, vice chair-
man and managing di-
rector, CIDCO, told re-
porters.
“CIDCO on Sunday
completed the 500 slab
feat at the PMAY project
in Sector-28, 29, 31 and 37
in Taloja node. That is a
record speed of 1.02

‘MVA took good decision to
sell wine in supermarkets,
but it wasn’t implemented’
First India Bureau
Pune: Nationalist
Congress Party
(NCP) chief Sharad
Pawar on Sunday
said the Maha Vikas
Aghadi (MVA) gov-
ernment had taken
a good decision to
sell wine in super-
markets in a bid to
boost fruit-based
wineries, but for
some reasons it was
not implemented.
Pawar was speaking
ataconferencehereon
grapes organized by
the Maharashtra Ra-
jya Draksha Bagaitdar
Sangh (MRDBS), an
umbrella body of
grape farmers.
He also said he will
hold talks with the
state and central gov-
ernments on how to
promote the grapes
market.
In January of this
year, the previous
MVA government, of
which the NCP was a
constituent, allowed
the sale of wine in su-
permarkets and walk-
in stores across Ma-
harashtra. A minis-
ter had then said the
decision was taken to
boost fruit-based win-
eries, which provide
additional income to
farmers.
Later, a social work-
er filed a public inter-
est litigation (PIL) in
the Bombay High
Court to challenge the
decision, claiming
that it would under-
mine the goal of de-
glamorizing alcohol
consumption and al-
low people to buy alco-
hol on their own with-
out supervision.
Pawar also raised
concern over farmer
suicides in the state
and said people need
to come together to
think and prevent it.
“It is utterly heart-
wrenching. If the
economy is not in or-
der, farmers opt for
ending their life. We
should think togeth-
er to prevent such a
situation,” he said.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar also said he
will hold talks with the state and
central governments on how to
promote the grapes market

Mumbai: BJP leader
Mohit Kamboj on
Sunday once again
targeted NCP MLA
Rohit Pawar through
a series of tweets, al-
leging links between
him and Rakesh Wad-
hwan, who is accused
in the PMC Bank
scam case.
Pawar, the MLA from
Karjat-Jamkhed assem-
bly constituency and a
grand nephew of NCP
chief Sharad Pawar,
has rubbished the
claims.
“When I do get such
queries (notices or
calls) from the ED (En-
forcement Directorate),
I will provide them with
the necessary informa-
tion,” he said.
“In 2006, BJP leaders
forced Shri Rohit Pawar

Wadhawan.From2006to
2012. Crores of transac-
tions done in start up

sorts which do business

garments to real estate.

,” Kamboj had tweet-
ed on Sunday morning.
In subsequent tweets
in Hindi, Kamboj, with-
out naming anyone,
said a 21-year-old entre-
preneur had launched a
startup in 2006 that
deals in import and ex-
port of 200 products
ranging including plas-
tics, diamonds and gold,
through the platform of
Green Acres Resorts.
“Request Guiness Book
of World Records to
please include his
name,” Kamboj said.
He tweeted that from
2007 to 2012, the Maha-
rashtra State Co-opera-
tive Bank had lost
Rs1000 crore, but the
same bank gave a loan
worth crores of rupees
to a sugar mill. “When
the sugar mill could not
pay up in 2012, the mill
was auctioned, and Bar-
amati Agro made a car-
tel to purchase it for
just Rs50 crore,” he al-
leged. Rohit Pawar is
the CEO of Baramati
Agro Ltd.
Earlier, on August 16,
Kamboj had threatened
to expose a “big NCP
leader” and demanded
a reinvestigation into
the irrigation scam. On
August 22, he tweeted
that he was studying
the business model of
Baramati Agro Ltd as a
case study
.
Persons in the ED,
who are familiar with
the issue, confirmed
that the agency had had
launched a preliminary
enquiry based on a com-
plaint involving some
transactions of Green
Acres Resorts and Real-
tors Pvt. Ltd.
The complaint al-
leged links between Ro-
hit Pawar and Rakesh
and Sarang Wadhwan.
Pawar was a director of
the company from 2006
to 2012. Three other di-
rectors of the company
were close associates of
Wadhwan.

about the film in-

The actress went on
to say that art of
every kind is simply
a reflection of the
society we live in, “I
think we live
in a male-dominated
society
. I don’t think
it’s fair to single out
cinema as cinema is
a reflection of tell-

it becomes a

FROM BATHROOMS
FROM BATHROOMS
TO GLAMOUR ROOMS
TO GLAMOUR ROOMS
n the last few
years, we have
seen a great
change in the
design and
conceptualisa-
tion of The
Bathrooms.
From being just a
functional space to
one that is central to a
home, in terms of
style and well-being.
Two decades ago the
bath was an after-
thought tucked into a
part of the house that
could not be used to
put to better use and
had no distinction. At
that time, it was the
plumber who ‘de-
signed’ the space and
helped to make choic-
es out of a well-
thumbed catalogue.
Often the space was
shared, and small and
the objective was to
get in and out quickly.
Today the story is
very different. While
the rest of the home
has become open-plan
to suit modern socia-
ble lifestyles, the
bathroom has become
an even more private
space, offering an es-
cape from the habitat
of life. It is now more
focused on personal
wellness. Everything
in our lives has be-
come so busy that we
are always looking for
a place to do some-
thing for ourselves,
and the bathrooms.
To enhance the
comfort, luxury and
design of the toilets
many brands have
tied up with renowned
designers to design an
exclusive range of
sanitaryware and
bathroom fittings to
give that plush feel.
While luxury is of-
ten associated with
large bathrooms,
there Is a growing fo-
cus on creating small
bathrooms that feel
equally escapist. In
small spaces, it’s the
materials and fixtures
that give you a chance
to ramp up the sophis-
tication. Large format
stone and marble
slabs with few joints
are the designer’s
choice along with a
material palette of
metals, paintings,
mirrors, lighting pen-
dants and other hand-
crafted articles to en-
hance the overall am-
bience of the space.
Finishes can com-
pletely change the
character of a prod-
uct, from polished
brass and copper
which work beauti-
fully with marble for
a super luxe look to
the use of terracotta
or metallic tiles to
give it a rustic and
raw appeal.
The architects and
designers create these
state-of-the-art luxury
bathrooms keeping in
mind the client brief,
requirements and
budget transforming
the bathrooms into
glamour rooms.
