Jaipur: In order to
avert any problem faced
by corona patients due
to smoke and for the
overall health of the
general public, Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
has ordered a ban on
firecrackers ahead of
Diwali festival and has
also directed officials to
take action against ve-
hicles emanating
smoke. Gehlot said that
in this challenging time
of Corona pandemic,
saving lives of the peo-
ple of the state is para-
mount for the govern-
ment.
Gehlot was reviewing
the status of Covid-19
infection, ‘No Mask-No
Entry’ and ‘War for Pu-
rity’ campaign at the
Chief Minister’s resi-
dence on Sunday even-
ing. In the meeting, the
Chief Minister also dis-
cussed the guidelines of
Unlock-6 and gave di-
rections.
The Chief Minister
observed that due to the
smoke emanating from
fireworks, heart and
lung patients also have
to face problems along
with Covid patients. In
such a situation, people
should avoid fireworks
on Diwali. He directed
to ban the temporary
license for the sale of
firecrackers. He said
that fireworks should
be stopped at weddings
and other ceremonies.
“The second wave of
Corona has started in
developed countries like
Germany, UK, France,
Italy and Spain. Many
countries have been
forced to reimpose lock-
down. In the event that
such a situation does
not arise in Rajasthan
also, we also have to be
careful,” he said.
Gehlot has appealed
to the drivers to turn
off the engine of the ve-
hicle on a traffic signal
during a red light.
“Also, people should not
burn garbage. By adopt-
ing such small, but im-
portant measures, we
can cooperate in the ef-
forts being made by the
state government to
prevent environmental
pollution and protect
the health of the people.
Strict action should be
taken against drivers
who violate pollution
standards. Turn to P6

Srinagar: Hizbul Muja-
hideen chief Saifullah,
who was involved in
several attacks on the
security forces, was
killed in an encounter
on the outskirts of Sri-
nagar on Sunday, news
agency PTI reported
quoting police officials.
Besides, a suspect
has been taken into cus-
tody and is being ques-
tioned.
“This is a huge suc-
cess for the police and
security forces. This is
not a small achieve-
ment,” Inspector Gen-
eral of Police (IGP),
Kashmir, Vijay Kumar
told reporters at the en-
counter site.
Saifullah, who took
charge of the outfit af-
ter the killing of Riyaz
Naikoo in May this
year, was one of the
most wanted militants
in the Kashmir Valley,
an official said.
Earlier in the day,
militants opened fire on
the forces while they
were conducting search
operations in Rangreth
area near the old air-
field following specific
information about the
presence of militants.
The forces retaliated
the fire which resulted
in a gunbattle.
Addressing reporters
near the encounter site,
IGP Kumar told PTI
that they had received
information that Saiful-
lah had come here from
south Kashmir and was
hiding in a house.
“So the security forc-
es cordoned off the area
and an operation was
launched. In the ex-
change of firing, one
militant was killed. Ac-
cording to our source,
we are 95 per cent sure
he is Dr Saifullah. We
are retrieving the body
and it will be identi-
fied,” Kumar was quot-
ed as saying by PTI.
Incriminating mate-
rial, including arms
and ammunition, was
recovered from the en-
counter site, he added.
Kumar further in-
formed that the net-
work of J-K Police has
become stronger and
police get information
about any militant en-
tering the city.

n a masterstroke
move and part of his
popular social engi-
neering, a towering
chief minister Ashok
Gehlot surprised every-
one by appointing a 1989
batch Rajasthan cadre
IAS officer Niranjan
Arya as the new Chief
Secretary, by supersed-
ing ten IAS officers,
which has become a nor-
mal practice these days
in many of the states to
promote the talent and
sidelining the ‘dead
weight’. Arya is the first
dalit officer in the his-
tory of Rajasthan, who
has been elevated to this
coveted assignment by a
sensitiveChief Minister.
Arya’s appointment has
been welcomed almost
by all sections of society
includingtheopposition
and the bureaucracy.
Being a rural back-
ground officer from Pali
district, Arya enjoys the
goodwill and reputation
of being a ‘son of the
soil’ and an ‘NREGA’
category officer in a
‘creamy layer’ IAS cad-
re. By choosing a meri-
torious and honest Jat
IPS officer ML Lathar
as the next DGP of the
state, a dalit IAS Arya’s
appointment was the
next major step in the
direction of Gehlot’s so-
cial engineering and
‘balancing act’ in the
bureaucracy. In this
way, under the leader-
ship of Gehlot, the state
has a very powerful bu-
reaucratic combination
of Arya and Lathar to
ensuregoodgovernance
in the civil and police
administration. Now in
the secretariat building,
a Niranjan Arya-Kul-
deep Ranka team will be
calling the shots to im-
plement Gehlot’s devel-
opment agenda.

PAK MAKES GILGIT-BALTISTAN
PROVINCE, INDIA PROTESTS
Islamabad: Despite
protests in the country,
Pakistan Prime Minister
Imran Khan on Sunday
officially announced
the provincial status of
Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).
Khan used the occasion
to blame India for the
Shia-Sunni sectarian
violence in the country,
saying “the most racist
government” was in
power there.New Delhi
had strongly protested
Pakistan’s move to
make GB its fifth
province and to hold
legislative elections
there later this month,
asserting that Jammu
and Kashmir and
Ladakh, including Gilgit
and Baltistan, are an in-
tegral part of India, and
Pakistan had “no locus
standi on territories
illegally and forcibly oc-
cupied it.” GB, formerly
Northern Areas, was
earlier governed, with
only limited autonomy,
by the “Gilgit-Baltistan
Empowerment and
Self-Governance Order
of 2009”.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: BJP state presi-
dent Satish Poonia on
Sunday said that despite
the misuse of govern-
ment machinery by the
ruling Congress and de-
limitation of wards,
BJP will form boards in
all six municipal corpo-
rations where elections
have taken place.
Poonia alleged that
the Congress govern-
ment bifurcated munici-
pal corporations in
Jaipur, Jodhpur, and
Kota, and the delimita-
tion of wards was done
in such a manner that
Congress can get politi-
cal advantage.
“However, despite all
such attempts, I believe
that BJP will win elec-
tions and will form
boards in all the six mu-
nicipal corporations,”
he said.
Polling in the Jaipur
heritage, Jaipur greater,
Kota North, Kota south,
Jodhpur north, and
Jodhpur south munici-
pal corporations were
held in two phases on 29
October and 1 Novem-
ber, and counting of
votes will be held on 3
November.
“Congress is in pow-
er. The party has money
power and muscle pow-
er as well as govern-
ment machinery is
there with them. They
will certainly misuse it
but we will compete
with them,” he said.
Meanwhile, exuding
confidence of winning
elections of all six mu-
nicipal corporations,
transport minister
Pratap Singh Khachari-
yawas said that people
have voted for good gov-
ernanceof theCongress
govt and against the lies
and deceits of BJP.
He said that the BJP
had been trying to di-
vide people on the basis
of religion throughout
these elections and the
party made false prom-
ises to the voters.
He saidthatCongwill
form boards in Jaipur
heritage, Jaipur greater,
Kota North, Kota south,
Jodhpur north, and
Jodhpur south munici-
pal corporations.

Jaipur: As the sec-
ond phase of the mu-
nicipal polls got over
on Sunday, the opposi-
tion Bharatiya Janta
Party (BJP) started
shifting its candi-
dates from Jaipur,
Jodhpur, and Kota to
different locations in-
cluding sending some
to Gujarat.
The party leaders
are terming the move
as a training program
for preparing the par-
ty candidates for serv-
ing the public.
“Badebandi in the
name of training is
nothing new and is
natural in political
parties,” BJP state
president Satish Poo-
nia said on Sunday af-
ter voting.
About 100 candi-
dates of JMC Heritage
were sent in three bus-
es and other vehicles
to the Zone Palace, a
resort on Ajmer
Road. BJP state secre-
tary Jitendra Gothwal
and former cabinet
minister Vasudev Dev-
nani are commanding
this “training” camp,
while Harihar Pareek
is looking after the dis-
cipline of the entire
training program. The
BJP has claimed vic-
tory on more than 55
seats in JMC Heritage.
“The party is not in-
dulging in badebandi.
The BJP has taken its
candidates for train-
ing,” said Gothwal.
The candidates of
JMC Greater will be
shifted from 11:00
am on Monday, the
party insiders said.
All the candidates will
gather at
BJP state headquar-
ters from where they
will be shifted to un-
disclosed locations un-
der the watch of
MLA Madan Dilawar
and state spokesper-
son Ramlal Sharma.
Some independent
candidates, who have
chances of victory,
have also been select-
ed for this “training”
program and have
been messaged to be
ready to join it. There
are hints that the
party might take
some of the candi-
dates from Jodhpur
to Gujarat.

Chittorgarh: An al-

Sunday afternoon, kill-
ing one person in the
incident. The godown
was used to store bore-
well equipment, but the
godown was storing
chemical drums in the
name of bio-diesel. The
fire caused by unknown
reasons, increased to
manifolds when the
drums started blasting
one after another re-
sulting into death of
one labourer due to the
fire; while two others
are still missing. Al-

Jodhpur: A truck
parked due to a flat
tyre in the middle of
the road on Netra 4
lane bridge, led to a
serious accident, kill-
ing two persons and
seriously injuring the
same number of peo-
ple late on Saturday
night in Sumerpur.
The accident took
place when 2 speed-
ing trucks collided
with the parked truck
one after another at
1:30 am.
The accident was so
severe that it dam-
aged the chassis of
the trucks which hit
from rear and the bod-
ies of the dead and the
injured could only be
recovered with great
effort lasting 4 hours.
The dead bodies of
the two deceased,
driver, Hanuman Ram
Jat and conductor,
Dhannaram Jat were
sent to the Sumerpur
mortuary and the
families of both were
informed about the
saddening news.
The two injured
were taken to Bhag-
wan Mahavir Hospi-
tal, where one is un-
der treatment, while
the other absconded
from the hospital.
The driver of the
truck parked in the
middle of the road,
due to which the ac-
cident took place, is
cooperating with the
police in the investi-
gation. The major
cause of the accident
was that the indica-
tors of the parked
truck on the four lane
bridge, were not on
and there were no
safety measures tak-
en around the truck
on the national high-
way.

PULWAMA: IT’S
MODI’S TURN TO
ROAST CONG
DOUBLE YUVRAJ
JIBE & ASSURANCE
ON CHHATH
riticisingPrimeMinisterNarendra
Modi on the Pulwama attack has
backfired on the Congress after a
Pakistan minister admitted to his
country’s role in the car-bombing
of a CRPF convoy on February 14, 2019, in
which 40 jawans were killed. While Pakistan-
based Jaish-e-Mohammed took responsibility
for the attack, Pakistan had then condemned
the attack. Pakistan’s bluff was called by none
other than the federal minister for science and
technology, Fawad Chaudhary, who said in the
National Assembly, “Our success in Pulwama
is a success of this nation…Humne Hindustan
ko ghar me ghus ke maaraa hai.” This gave
Prime Minister Modi to roast Rahul Gandhi
whose party found the prime minister’s “mis-
placedpriorities”onthatday“shocking”.Modi
was busy shooting for a film in the Corbett Na-
tionalParktillfourhoursaftertheattack.Con-
gress found other lapses to lash out at Modi.
Now that Fawad Chaudhary has said that Pa-
kistan was responsible for the terror act, Modi
tore into the Congress during his visit to Guja-
rat and Bihar. On Saturday he said in Gujarat
that those who resorted to ugly politics during
a difficult time have been exposed. While cam-
paigning for Bihar’s second phase of elections,
Modi used the Pulwama tragedy in which two

jibe who would take Bihar back to jungle raj,
while the “double engine” government of BJP
and JD-U would ensure the development of the
state. The sole aim of the princes, Modi said, is
to secure their thrones. He described Tejashwi

IN-DEPTH
C
T
record 90 million Americans
have already voted which
makes it 65% of the votes of the
2016 presidential elections. A
clear indicator of deep engage-
ment and interest in the most
consequential elections in re-
cent US history, as defined by
many analysts.
Indian Americans are about
2.6 millions American citizens
thus only 1 percent of the reg-
istered voters. But their politi-
cal involvement this time is
unprecedented. ‘Coming of
age’ as described by many. The
community is gaining increas-
ing importance too.
Some groups may be vigor-
ously campaigning for Biden
but for the first time there is a
strong undercurrent amongst
Desi groups to promote Trump
too. An emphatic statement of
changing Desi mindset.
Organisations like Hindu
Americans for Biden or Indian
Americans for Biden should be
seen as ongoing identity contes-
tations in the US but I interpret
these as growing insecurity of
democrats about the Indian
American votes. The tilt which
has been created by ‘Howdy
Modi’ in Houston and Namaste
Trump in India is evident and
is in favour of Trump.
Actually, the Indian Ameri-
can vote base has gone through
a major shift compared to the
2016 elections as a major pro-
portion of Indian American
voters are now internally sup-
porting Trump. Figures al-
ready indicate that trump’s
popularity has increased by
28% since 2016 in the commu-
nity. A poll by Indiaspora and
API data reveals that Biden is
still supported by 54% of Indi-
an Americans. But it’s interest-
ing to note that around the
same time in 2016 Hillary Clin-
ton was supported by 77% and
Obama had 84% of this support
share. The clear implication of
this trend analysis is increas-
ing vote for Trump from the
Indian American community.
Beyond that, Biden’s cosmet-
ic appreciation of the Indian
community and Harris project-
ing a ‘reluctant’ Indian connec-
tion is not impressive enough,
whereas Trump’s attempt to
connect with the Indian com-
munity looks honest and more
strategic. Sharing a stage with
PM Modi in Howdy Modi was
the strongest message of recog-
nition and affection depicted
by any American President.
PM Modi’s developmental and
anti-terror agenda is shared
and supported by the Trump
administration. Likewise, the
American initiative to curtail
China coincides with Indian
right-wing philosophy and
thus receives the support of
the Hindu groups too. The In-
dian community is naturally
and understandably attracted
to this joint agenda which has
been undoubtedly initiated and
nurtured by Trump. Now, if
this influences the indecisive
voters too support Trump
might even reach beyond deci-
sive 30%.
The Desi mindset is absorb-
ing, analysing, and undergoing
a Paradigm shift. Trump who
is generally painted as being
blatant anti-immigrant is now
being re-evaluated. As prevent-
ing illegal immigrants makes
sense especially in difficult
times like these and so does
stimulating economic activity
against the Cancel Culture of
democrats. Strong economic
recovery and revival has sup-
ported Trump’s claim of deliv-
ery and conventional democrat
supporting Indian American
community is more than con-
vinced that promoting growth
and enterprise has worked in
their favour. Thus Trump could
be a better choice.
Many Indian Americans are
enamoured by PM Modi’s stand
on Kashmir and CAA and are
not happy about democratic
stand on Indian internal mat-
ters. 6 democratic controlled
City councils passing an anti-
India resolution opposing CAA
was a major psychological jolt
for the Indians who migrated
in early 2000 and have seen the
terrorism in Kashmir. They are
also tired of the Global preach-
ing policy of human rights fol-
lowed by democrats.
Trump’s effort to curtail
China and PM Modi is a genu-
ine effort to build an economic
strategic and comprehensive
partnership with the USA has
influenced many analytical
minds in Silicon Valley too.
Modi-Trump combination
looks attractive, reliable, and
result-oriented and extremely
democracy driven too.
Whereas Biden Harris alli-
ance with suspected Chinese
links, with Global preaching at-
titude on human rights appears
dated and suspicious. Indian
spirit of an enterprise doesn’t
connect with an authoritarian
state, the core element of demo-
crat philosophy. Thus the dis-
tance was expected at some
point which now is accelerating
in post covid china resistant
world. Thus though a bit, late
and reluctant the shift towards
Republicans is evident.
Most Hindu Americans are
upset with the democrats.
Biden supposedly wanting to
teach Islamic theology in
schools and Harris appearing
in Durga attire in a poster was
not welcomed by Hindu Ameri-
cans. And latest caste conversa-
tion in media spaces about dis-
crimination based on caste in
India are some incidents that
provoke Hindu Americans to
strongly oppose democrats and
thus choose Trump. The latest
2+2 summit reconfirms
Trump’s faith in India. Again a
psychological signal with per-
fect timing. In this time of un-
certainty, Desi fancy might
work for Trump.

ith the setting
of the sun and
the onset of po-
lar darkness,
the Arctic
Ocean would normally be
crusted with sea ice along
the Siberian coast by now.
But this year, the water is
still open.
I have watched the re-
gion’s transformations
since the 1980s as an Arctic
climate scientist and, since
2008, as director of the Na-
tional Snow and Ice Data
Center. I can tell you, this
is not normal. There is so
much more heat in the
ocean now than there used
to be that the pattern of au-
tumn ice growth has been
completely disrupted.
To understand what is
happening to the sea ice
this year and why it is a
problem, let us look back at
the summer and into the
Arctic Ocean itself.
Siberia’s summer
The summer melt season
in the Arctic started early.
A Siberian heatwave in
June pushed air tempera-
tures over 100 degrees
Fahrenheit (About 38 de-
grees Celsius) at Verkhoy-
ansk, Russia, for the first
time on record, and unu-
sual heat extended over
much of the Arctic for
weeks.
The Arctic as a whole
this past summer was at its
warmest since at least
1979, when satellite meas-
urements started provid-
ing data allowing for full
coverage of the Arctic.
With that heat, large ar-
eas of sea ice melted out
early, and that melting
launched a feedback pro-
cess: The loss of reflective
sea ice exposed dark open
ocean, which readily ab-
sorbs the sun’s heat, pro-
moting even more ice melt.
The Northern Sea Route,
along the Russian coast,
was essentially free of ice
by the middle of July. That
may be a dream for ship-
ping interests, but it is bad
news for the rest of the
planet.
Warmth sneaks in
underwater
The warm summer is only
part of the explanation for
this year’s unusual sea ice
levels.
Streams of warmer wa-
ter from the Atlantic Ocean
flow into the Arctic at the
Barents Sea. This warmer,
saltier Atlantic water is
usually fairly deep under
the more buoyant Arctic
water at the surface. Lately,
however, the Atlantic wa-
ter has been creeping up.
That heat in the Atlantic
water is helping to keep ice
from forming and melting
existing sea ice from below.
It is a process called “At-
lantification”. The ice is
now getting hit both from
the top by a warming at-
mosphere and at the bot-
tom by a warming ocean. It
is a real double whammy.
The warm summer is
only part of the explana-
tion for this year’s unusual
sea ice levels. Streams of
warmer water from the At-
lantic Ocean flow into the
Arctic at the Barents Sea.
This warmer, saltier Atlan-
tic water is usually fairly
deep under the more buoy-
ant Arctic water at the sur-
face. Lately, however, the
Atlantic water has been
creeping up. That heat in
the Atlantic water is help-
ing to keep ice from form-
ing and melting existing
sea ice from below.

‘JUNGLE RAJ LEADERS WILL PUSH BIHAR IN DARK’Motihari : Alleging
that the “leaders of jun-

and “ tukde-tukde
gang”, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Sun-
day urged the people of

that if the Grand Alli-
ance wins, it will again
usher in an “era of vio-
lence”.
“This time for Bihar
elections, leaders of
jungle raj (Rashtriya
Janata Dal or RJD) have
come together with the
supporters of Naxalism
and tukde-tukde gang.
If given a chance, they
will again push the
state of Bihar into the
dark era of violence.
Therefore, people of Bi-
har have to be aware of
them,” PM Modi said at
the rally in Motihari
here. The Grand Alli-
ance in Bihar compris-
es of the RJD and Con-
gress. He added that
sugar mills and other
industries had closed
down during the jungle
raj in the state.
“If those jungle raj
leaders had ever been
worried about you, then
Bihar would not have
lagged behind in the
race of development.
The truth is they nei-
ther cared for you be-
fore nor do they care
about you now. They are
only worried about hid-

‘Will increase
retirement age of govt
if voted to power’
Patna: RJD leader
Tejashwi Yadav once
again attacked Chief
Minister Nitish Ku-
mar on Sunday for
reportedly issuing a
‘’decree’’ for the re-
tirement of govern-
ment employees at
the age of 50 years
and said if he’’s elect-
ed to power, the age
will be increased.
“Nitish Kumar has
issued a decree ask-
ing to give retire-
ment to government
employees at the age
of 50 years. He him-
self has become over
70 years, but this
time the public is go-
ing to retire him. If
our government is
formed, we will in-
crease the retire-
ment age,” Yadav
said.
He also attacked
the Chief Minister
for the poor state of
the higher education
system and asked
why does it take more
than three years to
complete under-
graduation in Bihar.
“Nitish Kumar
should tell why peo-
ple of Bihar cannot
complete their grad-
uation in 3 years,
why does it take them
4-5 years,” the RJD
leader, Tejashwi Ya-
dav stated.

nor any other member
of the sangharsh sami-
ti met him in a village
near Pilupura.
Bainsla said he is
not feeling well and
therefore he cannot
meet. Chandana then
left to meet Bainsla’s
son in Pilupura but po-
lice stopped him mid-
way on the basis of an
intelligence report.
Police officers in-
formed him that the
community people
have blocked roads and
therefore it is not pos-
sible to reach Pilupura.
Later, he returned to
Jaipur and expressed
displeasure over this.
The minister said he
was called by the Gur-
jar leaders but none of
them turned up to
meet him.
Meanwhile, the lead-
er of the second Gur-
jar faction - Himmat
Singh Gurjar - opened
a front against Kirori
Bainsla and his son Vi-
jay Bainsla claiming
that they were work-
ing at the behest of
BJP. “Those who are
talking about agita-
tion are sponsored by
the BJP. Only those
who are BJP members
will talk of agitation.
BJP leader Colonel
Bainsla wants to make
his son a leader at the
cost of the community
which we will never al-
low. The Gurjar com-
munity met with gov-
ernment’s sub-com-
mittee and the commu-
nity is satisfied. When
the issue can be solved
with talks, why then to
opt for agitation,”
Himmat Singh ques-
tioned.
It is noteworthy that
a delegation of Gur-
jars, headed by Him-
mat Singh Gurjar, held
talks with the govern-
ment on Saturday. Af-
ter that both sides had
agreed on 14 points but
Colonel Bainsla was
not part of the meet-
ing.

The Chief Minister
said that the recruit-
ment process of 2000
doctors in the state
should be completed
soon. “In the result of
the examination, the
entire process should
be completed within
10 days and be given
appointment soon.
This will help in the
treatment of other
diseases including co-
rona,” he said.
During the discus-
sion on the guideline
of Unlock-6, Principal
Secretary, Home, Ab-
hay Kumar said that
educational institu-
tions and coaching
centers, including
schools and colleges
in the state, will re-
main closed for regu-
lar educational activi-
ties till 16 November.
After this, a decision
will be taken regard-
ing their review.
Swimming pools, cin-
ema halls, theaters,
multiplexes, enter-
tainment parks etc.
will remain closed till
November 30 as per
the earlier order. The
maximum limit of
guests in the mar-
riage ceremony will
be 100. For the last
rites, the limit of 20
persons will remain
in force. Also, in so-
cial and political cer-
emonies to be held at
open places with the
permission of the Dis-
trict Collector, only
up to 250 people can be
allowed and that too
while maintaining a
distance of 2 yards. In
closed halls only 200
people will be allowed
with 50 percent of the
hall capacity. In these
programs, wearing
masks, keeping social
distancing, etc. will
be necessary.
Reviewing the cam-
paign for ‘war for pu-
rity’, the Chief Minis-
ter said that the law
would be amended to
make adulteration a
cognizable offense.
Under the ‘No Mask-

First India Bureau
Ahmedabad: In yet an-
other confession by
the former Congress
MLA admitting that
he was offered money
from the BJP to resign
from the party.
The Congress party
on Monday released a
sting video of former
Congress MLA of
Soma Patel in which it
was admitted that he
took Rs 10 crore from
the BJP.
The video, allegedly
released by Congress,
has raised serious ques-
tions as it surfaced on
the last day of the cam-
paign ahead of the poll-
ing scheduled on Tues-
day. The Congress de-
manded a judicial in-
quiry in the case of
money laundering and
demanded judicial in-
quiry from the sitting
judge of the high court
or supreme court. Also,
till the time chief minis-
ter Vijay Rupani, BJP
president CR Patil and
home minister Amit
Shah, (whose names
have been heard in the
video, who have alleged-
ly given bribes) should
refrain from the posts.
In this video, Soma
Ganda Patel has un-
dergone a sting opera-
tion. In the sting op-
eration, Som Ganda is
allegedly talking in
Hindi to a stranger
and is said to have
been bought by giving
money to MLAs. After
the video went viral,
Congress president
Amit Chavda and for-
mer president Modh-
wadia made serious
allegations against the
BJP.
Chavda said in the
video that it was clear
Somabhai accepted to
resign for money. “This
is an example of BJP-
inspired corruption in
whichresignationswere
paid for before the Rajya
Sabha elections. The in-
cident should be investi-
gated and those respon-
sible should be prosecut-
ed,” asserted the presi-
dent.
On the issue of the
viral video, Arjun
Modhwadia alleged
that the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party had bought
MLAs for money and
tickets. So, only mon-
ey has been dealt with
Somabhai. If the tick-
et deal has not been
done, then he has not
been given a ticket. He
may have been offered
a position as chairman
of a board corpora-
tion.
After the viral video,
CongresspresidentAmit
ChavdacalledBJPpresi-
dent CR Patil and the
party were accused of
corruption. In this re-
gard, Patil said, “I was
not the president when
Soma Ganda resigned,
sothereisnoquestionof
me being involved. Sec-
ondly, as the party presi-
dent, I clearly believe
that even if this person
is Soma Bhai, Congress
should go viral with a
video showing his face.
Amit Bhai has tried to

Dr Rituraj Sharma
Jaipur: Senior IAS
Niranjan Kumar Arya
took the charge of the
post of Chief Secretary
(CS) of the state on
Sunday at the state sec-
retariat. Arya earlier
has served the state
government in various
capacities like ACS (Fi-
nance), PS -Finance,
Excise and Taxation,
Commissioner (Depart-
mental Enquiry), Sec-
retary to CM, Registrar
(Cooperatives), Com-
missioner (Transport),
Divisional Commis-
sioner - Jaipur and
Bharatpur and District
Collector – Jaisalmer,
Nagaur, Ajmer & Kota.
On Sunday after taking
over the charge Niran-
jan Arya said that his
priority would be to ex-
pedite the implementa-
tion of all public wel-
fare schemes initiated
by CM Ashok Gehlot in
the best possible man-
ner to benefit the poor-
est of the poor. Inter-
acting with the media
Arya said that despite
the administrative nit-
ty-gritties every gov-
ernment department
basically is for the peo-
ple and at the end of
the day they work for
the people, therefore
feedback directly from
the people is of para-
mount importance.
He said that the effec-
tive monitoring by
Chief Minister Gehlot
and the state bureau-
cracy got accolades for
the Covid-19 manage-
ment of the state from
the whole country and
despite the severe fi-
nancial pressure the
state with its financial
management has per-
formed far better than
many other states who
had to resort to over-
draft.
Bringing forth his
specialisation in fi-
nance, Arya said that
the state was in a bal-
anced situation consid-
ering all the three crite-
rions of borrowing
limit, state’s share in
the revenue and other
incomes. A forthcom-
ing Arya said that the
priority of every ad-
ministration is to re-
cover 100% revenue at
the prevailing tax rates
and not impose new
ones but to complete
the existing schemes,
ways and means to in-
crease the revenue
have also to be devised.
Reacting to the law &
order situation due to
Gurjar agitation Arya
sounded positive and
said that the govern-
ment was ready to solve
every problem through
dialogue and to main-
tain the law & order
was its priority. He said
the negotiations so far
have built a consensus
up to a large extent.

should do with a mistake is
LEARN from it !

Jaipur: At a time when
the economy is down in
the doldrums, Ra-
jasthan has repeatedly
showcased that, even in
such times real estate
sector can be revived
and work with new vig-
our. While the financial
aspect is one thing, the
innovative approach
of Rajasthan govern-
ment in the field of
social responsibility
has also garnered
prise and as a result
Rajasthan has been
awarded the re-
nowned Green Cham-
pion Award.
The prestigious ward
has been given by the
Indian Green Building
Council through a vir-
tual award ceremony
held on Sunday where
Principal Secretary, Ur-
ban Development and
Housing Department
(UDH) Bhaskar Sawant
accepted the award.
According to the
council, the state gov-
ernment has promoted
theGreenBuildingcon-
struction through inno-
vative approach as well
as making provisions
in the building bylaws
as well!
The steps taken by
Rajasthan Housing
Board (RHB), like
changes made in Build-
ing by-laws and Town-
shippolicy,RajHousing
Board’s commitment to
come with Green Certi-
fied projects, and train-
ing & orientations of
RHB engineers and
Town planners went a
long way is gaining this
recognition.
With the Housing
Board now focusing
on the culture of
building Energy Ef-
ficient, Water Effi-
cient, well ventilated
and Green campuses
in the state to mini-
mise the carbon foot-
print, one can rest
assured that Ra-
jasthan is bound to
keep figuring in re-
sponsible and GREEN
states.

As Shah Rukh Khan turns 55 today, City First takes a
look at King Khan’s journey in Bollywood so far. The
journey from a commoner to one of the top actors of
India without any so-called godfathers!
Ultimate
King Khan
he man has many
names—call him
SRK, Raju, Sunil,
Raj, Kabir Khan,
Don, Raees… or
just call him Ra-
hul, Naam toh
Suna Hoga? And even de-
spite so many ways to
refer to him, the magnif-
icence of Shah Rukh
Khan stays beyond what
words can describe! Shah
Rukh Khan, who started
as the King of hearts,
slowly extended his
reign to become the un-
disputed Badshah of
Bollywood. From play-
ing the romantic hero
who wins the girl to a
crazy stalker who could
haunt anyone’s dream,
an emperor and a drunk-
ard, to
his touching act like an
autistic man, playing his
own fan and now a
dwarf; there is nobody
this artist hasn’t been
and no life he hasn’t
touched. Besides being
the silver screen’s heart-
throb, actor Shah Rukh
Khan has also endeared
himself to people from
other walks of life.
Any SRK fan would
know of his tryst with
destiny that started
on the sets of a TV
series ‘Fauji’ in
1989 and contin-
ued with shows
like ‘Circus’
and ‘Umeed’.
However, it
was ‘Baazi-
gar’ that
earned him
his first
F i l m f a r e
Award for
Best Actor,
b e -
cause you know, “Agar
Kisi cheez ko dil se
chaaho to puri kayanat
usey tumse milane ki ko-
shish mein lag jaati hai.”
Shah Rukh Khan is
rightly the crowned king
of romance, but it wasn’t
until ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya
Le Jayenge’, that he
earned the title. His
pairing opposite Kajol,
not only made the film
the longest running Hin-
di movie in Bollywood
history, but also earned
the lead stars a perma-
nent place in fans’
hearts. Over the years,
Shah Rukh has started
in several hit romantic
films like, ‘Veer Zara’,
‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Kuch
Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Devdas’
and ‘Mahabbatein’,
among many others.
Every year, thousands
of fans gather outside
his Mannat mansion and
shower him with birth-
day wishes, love and lots
of gifts. However, this
year, because of the cor-
onavirus pandemic, the
actors have requested
them to not gather in
numbers outside his
home, quipping, “Iss
baar ka pyaar....
thoda door se yaar” on
Twitter.

FACEOFTHEDAY
MEHAK GHAI, Blogger
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
A good news is not it’s way
and it will fill your life with
joy. Professionals will need
to broaden their client base
to obtain better opportunities. A
technology upgrade may be required
to improve performance on the
academic front, as old methods may
not deliver.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
Today Lack of
reciprocation in full
measure of your loving
gestures may prove
disappointing, so confront him or her
on the same. You will be able to give
a good account of yourself at work
and you will be praised for the same.
Be understanding enough today.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Get the right attitude, if you
want to fit into the crowd.
Teamwork requires full
focus and good
management skills, so remember
this if you want to reach your goal.
Someone’s unkind remarks may hurt
you, but there is no point in
retaliating.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Today you may need to get
into the groove in a new set
up. Fatigue is likely to
become a thing of the past,
as you adopt a new fitness regime. You
will need to tighten your grip on the
academic front to prevent a situation
from getting out of hand. Financial
skills may be much in demand today.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
You will need to go out of
your way to woo the
golden hen. On the
academic front ,you are
likely to bounce back with full gusto.
An important responsibilty at work
will help in proving your mettle and
will improve your chances for a
promotion.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
Today improved
performance will get you
noticed at work. Networking
will come in handy in
overcoming problems. Experiencing
togetherness with family will prove
most enjoyable. Shopping turns out to
be a memorable outing today. Your
talents are likely to be recognised.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Some progress will be
made in a new direction,
but you may have to put in
much more efforts to make
your dream a success. It will be in
your interest to not succumb to
emotional blackmail. Try and
overcome your shortcomings on the
academic front.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
You make good progress
at work. Something that
you had to discontinue,
shall begin again to your
delight. Making your mark in a totally
different field will be difficult without
adequate preparation. Your
expenditure will be much more than
what you manage to earn.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
Added personal responsi-
bilities may keep you from
doing justice to official
work but you need to try
hard. You may need to catch up on
pending work, putting in extra hours.
Returns from invested money are
likely to make your bank balance
healthy.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
Wrong decisions may
become a bane and get you
on the back foot but you
will rise again. Don’t ignore
sane advice. Trying to earn big time
may remain a dream, if you don’t
work towards achieving it. Those
feeling out of sorts for some time are
likely to make a quick recovery.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Tackling something new on
the academic front is
indicated and will be fun.
You may remain tied up at
work and neglect a social event.
Chance of getting overstrained in
doing something at home is possible
for some. You can be held
accountable for not doing something.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Special treatment is in
store for you. Meeting
people of your generation
will be most enjoyable. You
are likely to make a big money in
coming times though you may have
no inkling as of now. Your expertise
will be much in demand and that will
add up for good.
YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
hen I look around
it breaks my
heart. The sight
of garbage every-
where and cows
and dogs feeding
off it. I wonder
why despite the door-to-
door garbage collection
that so much of it lands up
on our roads, and in ca-
nals. Are people not affect-
ed by the unhygienic con-
ditions around them?
The problem as I see it is
threefold. It exists on the
side of the government,
the public, and the indus-
tries. They have each
played a significant role in
the proliferation of gar-
bage and filth. Pointing
fingers at one wouldn’t be
fair.
The government comes
up with schemes that seem
so great on paper. The im-
plementation however is
extremely haphazard and
inefficient. All they seem
to care about is cost-cut-
ting. They are least con-
cerned about the effective-
ness of the program. They
issue tenders and the low-
est bidder irrespective of
their strategy and objec-
tives wins the project. How
convenient for them. But
not so perfect for us!
The public for the most
part isn’t any different
than the government they
criticize. What happens
outside their home isn’t
their problem. It is almost
as if they have made peace
with their condition. They
will ignore the filth and
even contribute to it as
long as they are not penal-
ized. They do not realize
that this is an alarming
situation and that they
should be concerned.
Medical waste is a huge
problem. The packaging is
too. Because more brands
use plastic then there are
recycling units to repur-
pose them. What then is
the point of those recy-
cling symbols printed on
the packaging?
I want to give each of
these culprits the benefit
of the doubt. They cannot
be held accountable unless
they are given feedback
and ideas.
Government programs
would be more effective if
they partner with the right
candidates. They should
take up the example of In-
dore not just in terms of
the idea but also imple-
mentation. Monitoring
and evaluation are an im-
portant part of this. Let’s
make Swach Bharat work!
There should be rigorous
cleaning drives organized
in collaboration with civil
society organizations.
The public can begin at
home. Segregation of
trash into wet and dry gar-
bage not just in the kitchen
but also in the bathroom
should be done. All items
that can be converted to
compost can be thrown
into the wet bin, and every-
thing else including used
tissues can be thrown into
the dry bin. Sanitary nap-
kins should be disposed of
in a different bag and
marked with a large red
dot. Bulbs, glass, and other
sharp items should be
wrapped and disposed of
properly. Let’s think of the
people who are handling
our trash once it leaves our
home.
Heritage brands like
Maggi must reduce the use
of plastic in their packag-
ing or ensure they recycle
their packaging. It is their
problem with what the
public buys. I once went up
to a drink brand and asked
them to accept the bottle in
which the served milk-
shake and they refused to
take it back. I was con-
fused, wondering what the
end of this bottle would be.
And honestly, I do not buy
Maggi for the packaging; I
enjoy what is inside it. And
how many buyers read the
labels? I feel it is the re-
sponsibilityof everybrand
to ensure its products are
not killing our environ-
ment.
Everyone points fingers
at others. But how many of
us do what counts- educate,
act, and provide solutions?
Call it a marriage of con-
venience, if you may. But
all three segments of soci-
ety must work together if
we are to make India
kachra-free!
