DP’s party under NCB lens, may get summons!
Mumbai: The mysteri-
ous death case of Bol-
lywood actor Sushant
Singh Rajput has taken
a new turn after the
Narcotics Control Bu-
reau (NCB) investiga-
tion in the drugs angle
found some high-profile
celebs connected with
it. NCB, probing the al-
leged Bollywood-drug
nexus, might summon
actress Deepika Padu-
kone if needed, an offi-
cial said on Tuesday.
NCB sources said
some WhatsApp con-
versations purportedly
discussing drugs are on
the radar of the agency.
Some of these chats
were purportedly be-
tween Padukone’s man-
ager Karishma Prakash
and one “D”, they said.
The official said the
NCB might also sum-
mon actors Rakul Preet
Singh and Sara Ali
Khan, and designer Si-
mone Khambatta this
week, whereas Shrad-
dha Kapoor’s prospec-
tive summoning is a
new development.
Deepika has come on
the NCB’s radar after
an explosive WhatsApp
conversation dating Oc-
tober 2018 between the
actress and her manag-
er surfaced on social
media. In the conversa-
tion, she is purportedly
asking for hash and
wants her manager to
bring it to posh Mumbai
club called Koko, where
she was partying.
According to sources,
that party at club Koko
has come under the lens
of the investigative
agencies and the NCB is
expected to examine the
footage from the party.
Thefederalanti-drugs
agencyhasalreadysum-
moned Karishma
Prakash and KWAN tal-
ent management agen-
cy’s CEO Dhurv Chitgo-
pekar in connection
with its probe. Both of
them will be questioned
by the NCB this after-
noon, he said.
“The NCB will first
question Karishma
Prakash and might
summon actor Deepika
Padukone if needed,”
the official said.

Jaipur: The agricul-
ture bills passed by the
parliament despite
Congress opposition
while all important vil-
lage and farmer cen-
tric Panchayat elec-
tions on every politi-
cian’s priority, spell
out the political sce-
nario in the near fu-
ture in the state.
AICC has decided to
oppose the agri-bills at
the national level. In
compliance CM Ashok
Gehlot, state incharge
Ajay Maken and PCC
chief Dotasra will
themselves shape the
campaign ahead. There
will be a press confer-
ence at PCC in Jaipur
on September 24 by
Ajay Maken and Do-
tasara on the same is-
sue and in all probabil-
ity,therewillbeamarch

Gandhi’s birthday on 2

up as ‘Kisan-Majdoor
Diwas’ at the constitu-
ency level demonstra-
tions against the anti-
farmer bills passed by
the parliament. A Kisan
Samellan could also be
organised in Jaipur
along with district HQs
on 10 October. Congress
is urging its party work-
ers to strictly observe
social distancing dur-
ing all protests.
It is clear that apart
from AICC instruc-
tions, rural & farmer
votes in Panchayat
elections are also an
important reason for
Congress to take up the
fortnight long protests
so earnestly.

Indira Gandhi Matratv
Yojna is among one of
the budget announce-
ments of CM Gehlot
which initially will be
run as a pilot project in
Udaipur, Dungarpur,
Banswara and Pratap-
garh districts. In all
probability the state

execute the scheme as
the district commit-
tees don’t have the re-
quired funds for the
project. ACS Subodh
Agrawal will apprise
the CS and PS (WCD)
of his inference after
his study. There has to
be a provision of Rs 40
crore to be made for
the execution of the

central govt has not
only increased the MSP
but also increased the
quantity of crops pur-
chased on MSP. He
called new bills, the
harbinger of new tech-

marginal farmers. The
minister also informed
that the new bill bans
sale, lease and mort-
gage of any agricultur-
al land with the corpo-
rates. The agreements
would be for the pro-
duce from the land and
not for the land itself.

tradition of India is so
rich that it could not be
finished even by burn-

hether Donald
Trump will
serve four more
years as presi-
dent of the Unit-
ed States will be decided on
November3.America’spart-
ners should nonetheless al-
ready be thinking about
what Trump will leave be-
hind — namely the conse-
quences of his policies — if
he loses the election and
agreestohandoverpowerto
his challenger, Joe Biden.
Every US president sets
priorities for domestic de-
velopments as well as for
the country’s positions in
foreign and security policy.
Given the international
weight of the United States
— still by far the most pow-
erful nation in the world in
terms of absolute power,
even when compared to
China — American presi-
dents will always shape the
international order, too.
Incoming presidents of
anypartyhavetraditionally
accepted many of the lega-
cies of their predecessors,
while simultaneously set-
tingnewaccents.Thisisnot
surprising; it is a character-
istic of a functioning state.
The foreign policy, security,
economic and ecological
challenges that a new presi-
dent faces the first day in
office are not, after all, fun-
damentally different from
those challenges that were
on the table the day before.
Only Trump has con-
sciously departed from this
pragmatic and statesman-
like tradition. Fighting
against the legacy left be-
hind by his predecessor, Ba-
rack Obama, has been a
central part of his agenda.
Consequently, Trump re-
scinded financial market
rules and environmental
lawsof theObamaadminis-
tration, withdrew the US
fromthenuclearagreement
with Iran, and also pulled
out of the Trans-Pacific
Partnership, the Paris Cli-
mate Accord, and other in-
ternational agreements.
Should Trump be re-
placed by Biden, the new
president will certainly re-
verse some of the most bla-
tant measures of his prede-
cessor — if only to regain
trust and strengthen the in-
ternational reputation of
the United States again.
Thisapplies,inparticular,to
the Iran nuclear agreement
and the climate accord.
Bidenwillnotbeabletoturn
the wheel of history back to
the end of the Obama era,
however.Hewillhavetodeal
with — and his presidency
will partly be shaped by — a
Trump legacy that cannot
simply be undone by resign-
ingsomeimportantinterna-
tional agreements.
FOUR ELEMENTS
STAND OUT FROM
THIS LEGACY
First, there is the political
polarization in the US,
which is as intense as it
was during the Vietnam
War. A new president may
attempt to reunite the
country politically and to
mitigate the growing so-
cial inequalities through
social and tax policies.
However, neither the po-
litical nor social divisions
in America will simply dis-
appear with a change of
political direction.
Second,thetenserelation-
ship with China will test the
Biden administration from
the beginning. Trump cer-
tainly did not cause the rise
of China. Even Obama had
tried to redirect the focus of
American policy toward
Asia — he saw China’s rise
asagame-changerbut,over-
all, still regarded Beijing as
a partner. In the meantime,
China’s policy has become
more challenging.

IPL A SAVIOUR FROM
SHOUTING TV ANCHORS
or days on end, electronic media has con-
ducted a 24X7 trial of its own to pro-
nounce Rhea Chakraborty guilty of get-
ting Sushant Rajput hooked to marijua-
na and of having been privy to the con-
spiracy to “murder” SSR by influential people as
he knew too much about what led to his manager
Disha Salian to commit suicide. The media inves-
tigation reported that she was gang-raped even
before either the Mumbai Police or CBI could come
to that conclusion. Even the findings of SSR’s au-
topsy report, under scrutiny at AIIMS, Delhi, are
not yet out. At least the report has not been given
to the CBI yet. But some anchors have pronounced
the guilty verdict at the top of their voices. The
megalomania prompted the Press Council of India
to warn TV channels to follow norms of journalis-
tic conduct. They were also told not to “vigorously
report a crime on a day to day basis”.
Mercifully, the India Premier League came to the
rescue of millions of viewers who were dead bored
watching anchors yell like crazy against Kangana’s
opponents. The cricket bonanza has come as a re-
lief as the Dhoni, debutant Devdutt Padikkal, Sam
Curran, Chahal, and AB de Villiers pushed the SSR
case out of everyday conversations and social me-
dia platforms. Twists and turns of the IPL matches
are better topics for discussion than Bollywood’s
addiction to drugs.
Notwithstanding the Press Council’s advice, the
TV channels aren’t stopping their dirty job. If
there’s news of NCB summoning Deepika Padu-
kone, the media goes sniffing out all the dirt they
can find against her.

IN-DEPTH
FASTING WON’T AFFECT
MPS CONDUCT IN HOUSE
different kind of politics was on display
In Delhi and Maharashtra after the BJP
pushed through bills on agriculture
amidst protests from the Opposition
who wanted division of votes. Deputy
Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, who was in
the Chair, in his wisdom went by voice vote verdict
to pronounce that the bills have been passed by the
Rajya Sabha. The Opposition called it a murder of
democracy and created a ruckus following which
eight MPs were suspended for their unruly behav-
ior in the Rajya Sabha. Once again the Opposition
demanded a division of votes on the order of their
suspension which was ignored by the Chairman.
The eight MPs went on indefinite fast near the
Gandhi statue on parliament’s premises.
Harivansh said he was so disturbed by the vio-
lent behaviour of MPs and the “disrobing of de-
mocracy” that he could not sleep the whole night
the day chaos broke out. To make the opposition
MPs “repent” their conduct, Harivansh said he will
observe a day’s fast. Are our MPs so conscientious?
Not to be left behind, the NCP president Sharad
Pawar announced in Mumbai that he will also ob-
serve a day’s fast against the government “bulldoz-
ing” the Opposition.
In the midst of all the fasting, Harivansh Singh
reached out to the fasting MPs with tea and snacks
early on Tuesday. The parliamentarians said they
refused to partake of the tea and snacks and told
Singh that he was in the wrong.
Sit-ins won’t resolve the issue. Nor will the Presi-
dentreturnthebills.Thegovernmenthashaditsway.
A
he India-China-Pakistan stra-
tegic triangle in South Asia is
the most unstable region in the
world. This triangle of three
neighbors, houses half the
world’s population and has the
largest warring militaries,
armed with nuclear weapons
disputed ambiguous borders
resulting in periodic confronta-
tions and conflicts. All this un-
derlines the strategic instabil-
ity and inherent fragility of
this region.
DIVERSITIES IN THOUGHT
There is so much of diversity in
the political foundation of the
three countries. In the first - Pa-
kistan, the military calls the
shot over elected Govt, while in
the second-India, democratic
Govt and close core group led
leadershipcontrolsthemilitary,
andinthethirdcountry-China,
the central communist party
leadership is all-powerful and
controls the Army (PLA). Thus,
it has led to mistrust, collusions
and interplay of relations be-
tween a revisionist Islamic re-
public struggling for survival, a
stable democracy aspiring for
high growth trajectory and an
expansionist communist state
challenging status quo at own
terms. India stands distinct
from the conflicting revisionist
ideology and expansionist cul-
ture of its two neighbours, who,
unfortunately, can’t be changed
but have to be managed for
peaceful co-existence essential
for prosperity and growth.
INTERPLAY DYNAMICS
INDO-CHINA In the Indo-Chi-
na context, China presents a
multifaceted primary chal-
lenge to India. China sees India
as not only a regional competi-
tor but a major geostrategic
player meant to contain its rise.
Thus, dealing with China’s co-
ercion and expansionism has
always remained one of India’s
biggest foreign policy challeng-
es with comparative asymme-
try in economic and military
capabilities. India is the only
one that cannot easily be bul-
lied, therefore, underlying Chi-
nese strategic imperative is to
weaken India.
INDO-PAK In the context of
Indo-Pak relations, clash of cul-
tures, turbulent disputed bor-
ders, and Kashmir obsession
with Pakistan fuels its proxy
war under the solace of a nu-
clear umbrella. Kashmir re-
mains a central agenda to Paki-
stan’s narrative and survival of
the politicians and military.
Chinaisveryshrewdincashing
on this mutual distrust and Pa-
kistan’s anti – India obsession.
They have almost outsourced
the Indian problem to Pakistan.
They provide all support to Pa-
kistan and in return expect Pa-
kistan to keep India embroiled
with it in proxy war because the
peaceful growth of India will be
detrimental to the superpower
aspirations of China.
CHINA-PAK The only stabil-
ity in this triangle is the Paki-
stan – China relationship. Paki-
stan-China bonhomie is here to
stay and likely to be strength-
ened with Pakistan becoming
more and more dependent on
China, after being shunned by
the rest of the world, for pro-
moting terrorism. The relation-
ship is more vital for China for
its strategic interests while it’s
essential for Pakistan to sur-
vive. The common agenda is
always to work in unison and
check the growth of India.
WAY AHEAD FOR INDIA
India is unfortunately saddled
with a troubled neighbourhood
with no solutions in sight. Eve-
ry nation has to fight it’s one
battle and India has no choice
but to counter the two unstable
neighbours and yet continue
its peaceful growth and rise.
India has to build up Strategic
autonomy and deterrence ca-
pabilities based on comprehen-
sive national power.
For dealing with Pakistan,
India needs to do periodic as-
sured kinetic retribution, as
part of punitive deterrence, to
ensure the cost of waging a
proxy war for Pakistan is made
prohibitive. The asymmetric
conventional edge is a punitive
deterrence.
Dealing with China is more
complex. China is ahead of In-
dia in Economic Development,
MilitaryMight,andWorldDom-
inance. India needs to take on
China on all these three fronts.
Let’s focus on these as under:-
z Economic. India should up its
economic growth by slashing red
tape, improving its infrastruc-
ture, wooing foreign investment
and embracing multilateralism.
Economic strength is the key to
counter China.
z Military. Parity with China in
defence forces is essential India
needs to develop a modern, swift
and agile defence capability on
the ground, air and water to deter
any evil designs by China alone
or in a cohort with Pakistan. A
synergized modernization drive is
needed on urgent basis.
z Diplomatic. India is reposition-
ing itself, as it discards its old
non-aligned movement-image,
pursues a hard-headed national
interests based policy. It’s also
very important to form a quad
alliance of neighbouring coun-
tries like Japan, Australia, South
Korea, and Singapore under the
stewardship of the USA to jointly
challenge the bullying of China.
The neutrality of Russia needs to
be assured.
z Perception Management.
India should also play the Tibet,
Hong Kong, and Corona card to
tarnish the image of PRC because
it hurts China the most.
CONCLUSION
There is a need to pragmati-
cally envision future threats
and challenges emanating
from the instability of this
strategic triangle. However, po-
tential confrontations must be
solved through a formula of
optimistic realism based on
mutual trust, peace, and tran-
quility for growth.
“This is a time for us to en-
gage America, manage China,
cultivate Europe, reassure Rus-
sia, bring Japan into play, draw
neighbours in, extend the
neighbourhood and expand
traditional constituencies of
support,” opines Mr S Jais-
hankar, in his book ‘The India
Way’, released recently. Well
said, Foreign Minister!! The
path ahead is arduous and chal-
lenging but good wishes of 130
crore Indians are with you.

MONEY LAUNDERING
EDattaches`203-cr

ofMirchi’sfamily
New Delhi: The En-
forcement Directorate
said it has attached
Dubai-based assets
worth over Rs 203 crore
of late gangster Iqbal
Mirchi’s family in con-
nection with a money
laundering case. The at-
tached assets include 15
commercial and resi-
dential properties be-
longing to the “family
members” of Mirchi.
They include a hotel
called Midwest Hotel
Apartment, the ED said.
They are valued at Rs
203.27 crore and have
been provisionally at-
tached under the Pre-
vention of Money Laun-
dering Act (PMLA), the
central probe agency
said in a statement. Of-
ficials said these assets
were transferred to the
Mirchi family by a
Dubai-based company
owned by the Wadha-
wan brothers, Kapil
Wadhawan and Dheeraj
Wadhawan.
The Wadhawan’s are
the promoters of the
DHFL. They were ar-
rested by the ED in an-
other money launder-
ing case linked to alleg-
edly dubious loans giv-
en by Yes Bank. Kapil
Wadhawan was also ar-
rested by the agency in
connection with the
Mirchi PMLA case but
he later obtained bail.
With this action, the
total attachment in this
case by the ED stands at
Rs 776 crore. Two simi-
lar attachment orders
were issued by the ED
in December last year.
Mirchi, who died in
2013 in London, was al-
leged to be the right-
hand man of global ter-
rorist Dawood Ibrahim
in drug trafficking and
extortion crimes.
“He (Mirchi) was an
international drugs
dealer and smuggler
who had amassed huge
wealth and acquired
various immovable
properties and busi-
nesses across the

earlier. —PTI

RAGA ON MINIMUM SUPPORT PRICE HIKE
New Delhi: Giving the
example of how the
Prime Minister’s stance
on implementation of
the minimum support
price (MSP) has
changed since his first
election in 2014, Con-
gress leader Rahul Gan-
dhi took a dig at PM
Narendra Modi, saying
his intention to support
farmers was “clear” -
meant to wipe them out,
and benefit corporates.
“Modi ji’s intention is
‘clear’. New efforts are
anti-agriculture(isto)up-
root farmers and benefit
capitalist ‘friends’,” Gan-
dhi tweeted on the row
over farm sector bills.
Rahul Gandhi’s at-
tack on PM Modi comes
a day after the central
government increased
the minimum support
price for key winter
crops amid row over
farm bills, cleared by
voice vote amid din in
the Rajya Sabha.
While PM Modi
called the hike “another
historic decision”, BJP
ally Akali Dal and Pun-
jab Chief Minister Am-
arinder Singh rejected
the hike of 50 per quin-
tal in the minimum sup-
port price of wheat and
called it a “cruel joke”.
The hike -- a month
ahead of last year’s
schedule -- came after
days of farmers’ pro-
tests and assurances by
PM Modi and his minis-
ters that the MSP will
not be scrapped.The
Congress on Monday

We also protest against
farm bills which are
against the agrarian

said.
Before Congress and
other opposition par-

proceedings, Chowd-

al of agriculture bills.
He said the government
can withdraw the bills
as they have not been
signed yet by President
Ram Nath Kovind.
The opposition mem-
bers sought to raise
their concerns over
farm bills soon after
the House met for the
day. As opposition
members resorted to
sloganeering, Birla ad-
journed the House for
an hour to prevent so-

from being violated.
When the House recon-

again raised the issue
of agriculture bills and
referred to the proceed-

but the Speaker said
that no such reference
will go on record.

protesting are not farm-

PM Modi hoped that

“Our youth will learn

PILOT ‘CRASHES’ ON
SOCIAL MEDIA?
HaIt is said that to an extent, social
media does show the standing
and popularity of politicians among
the masses. If that is any measure,
it would be safe to say that Sachin
Pilot, after his return to the party
fold post the rebellion, has been
‘un-impactful’ on the social media
platform twitter since his tweets
are generating a lesser impact and
therefore not trending. There was a
time nearly two months back, when
his tweets would be retweeted,
commented and liked hundreds of
times making them go viral and this
can be gauged from the tweets on
14th July. Compared to the response
he gets nowadays, it would be
easy to find that the ‘interest’ has
considerably dropped. This would
also mean that his rebellious image
was more preferred by his followers,
primarily the youth, but as the news
of his ‘peace’ with the Congress
floated leading to his ‘Ghar Wapsi’,
his popularity also dropped. In
hindsight, Ashok Gehlot’s popularity
has been increasing at a steady pace
and more so after the political crisis.
Political observers claim that there is
a wave of sympathy with Gehlot on
social media! —Shishir Awasthi
ATTENDING FUNCTIONS
MORE IMPORTANT
FOR BAIRWA THAN
OBSERVING CORONA
PROTOCOL!
ThWhile Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot has been repeatedly
appealing to people not to
congregate and hold functions in
limited numbers only, necessary
to avoid Corona infection from
spreading, it appears that his own
MLAs have forgotten that even
they also have to abide by the
government’s rules and directions.
The recent case revolves around
legislator Prashant Bairwa who
took part in a program on Tuesday
wherein a huge crowd had been
amassed. Due to the sheer
number of people at the program,
the social distancing norm of the
state government was sent for a
toss. Moreover, Bairwa shared
the dais with more than two
dozen individuals! Had it been a
program organized by a common
person, the authorities would have
taken stern action against such
a person and levied penalties on
them, however, since an MLA
was involved, it appears that even
authorities looked the other way!

IS DOP LOSING ITS FUNCTIONAL CONTROL
OVER CRUCIAL PROMOTIONAL MATTERS?
Rajendra Chhabra
T
he Department
of Personnel
(DOP) has an im-
portant place in the
state’s bureaucracy, pri-
marily since the depart-
ment is responsible for
selecting RAS and other
state services officers
forpromotionandtrans-
fer postings.
At present, there
are three matters
which are in DOP’s
pipeline and are
awaiting execution.
These being RAS to
IAS promotion, Other
servicestoIASpromo-
tion and third being
holdinginterviewsfor
candidates of RAS
and other state ser-
vices who passed in
the examination.
In 2020, 15 RAS offic-
ers have to be promoted
to IAS and the list of eli-
giblenameswassubmit-
ted to UPSC by the DOP
in December last year.
The UPSC had to se-
lect fifteen individuals
from this list and call
them for an interview
meetingwhichisheldin
Delhi or Jaipur and this
board meeting was due
inJanuary,butitkepton
getting delayed first due
toUPSC’sbusyschedule
and then due to Corona
crisis.
Now after a delay
and long wait of nine
months, this impor-
tant meeting will be
held on September 25
wherein the names of
15RASofficerswillbe
finalised and these
names will be sent to
central DOP after
which the Union Per-
sonnel Ministry will
issue a notification of
these promotee IAS.
Although the state
DOP has sent three
times the number of
candidates that will be
selected i.e. total 45
names have been sent to
UPSC, but the fifteen in-
dividuals whose names
have been sent in order
of meritandwhoseACR
is also better are - Ma-
hendraParakh,Hridesh
Kumar Sharma, Lax-
man Singh Kudi, Nalini
Kathotia, Rajendra Sin-
gh Shekhawat, Sohan
Lal Sharma, Meghraj
Singh Ratnu, Kajor Mal
Dudia, Anuprerna Kun-
tal, Rajendra Vijay,
Prakash Chandra Shar-
ma, Shakti Singh
Rathore, Pragya Kewal-
ramani, Tarachand and
Harimohan. It is be-
lieved that after the
meeting on September
25, these fifteen individ-
uals would be made IAS
in October, after a delay
of ten months.
The second matter
pertains to the promo-
tion to IAS from other
services. This matter
has jumbled up beyond
comprehension and is
pending for the past
three years. The former
BJP government, in
2018, had made a list of
ten candidates for a va-
cancy on four spots, but
no action was taken on
this list.
Later, in January
2019,Gehlotgovernment
made a list of twenty in-
dividuals, but this list
wasmarredwithcontro-
versies and due to the
objection from RAS as-
sociation,themattergot
stalled.
Now in 2020, the DOP
re-invited names from
all departments and by
the last date, in August,
seventy names had
reached the DOP and
therefore, a new selec-
tion meeting will be
called to select 15-20
namesfromthelistof 70
and these selected
names have to be sent to
the DOP in any condi-
tionbyDecember2020to
the UPSC. Meanwhile,
the third matter per-
tains to holding inter-
views for 2010 candi-
dates that passed the
RAS mains examina-
tion- 2018. after much
hassle, the RPSC con-
ducted these examina-
tionsinJuneandinJuly
the result of 2010 candi-
dates was taken out by
RPSC.
Now an interview of
these candidates is to be
held which is a major
andimportanttask.The
RPSC had announced
that the interview will
be started from October
5 and the process would
have been completed in
a fortnight but now the
RPSC has cancelled
the October 5 date
since there are not ade-
quate members in the
RPSC. The current
RPSC Chairman
Deepak Upreti is go-
ing to retire on Octo-
ber 15 which means
the RPSC will have
only three members
instead of the full
strength of eight.
Holdinginterviewsof
2010 candidates with
such a small strength is
definitely a difficult task
whichclearlymeansthat
theDOPwillnotgetnew
RAS officers as of now.

Jaipur: After encour-
aging results of a pilot
project in Rajsamand,
Rajasthan government
has decided to use high
tech equipment and
technologies including
satellite imagery and
drones to curb illegal
mining across the state.
Dr Subodh Agarwal,
principal secretary of
mines department,
who held a high-level
review meeting with of-
ficials said that the re-
sults of the pilot pro-
ject which was intro-
duced in Rajsamand
have been encouraging
and now drones, satel-
lite imaginary and oth-
er high tech technolo-
gies will be used to
check illegal mining
activities in the state.
He informed that the
state government will
soon introduce M-sand
policy to promote
m-sand as an alterna-
tive to sand. M-sand is
being successfully
used in Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu
and Telangana.
The officer informed
that due to coordinated
and well-planned ef-
forts, the revenue of the
department has in-
creased considerably.
He said that the de-
partment collected
more revenue in the
months of June, July
and August this year as
compared to the corre-
sponding period last
year.
In September 2020 it-
self, 33 percent more
revenue has been
earned as compared to
September 2019, he
said, while hoping that
the current fiscal year
would see a significant
increase in revenue
earning.
On the issue of min-
ing in Bansi Paharpur,
the officer said that Pa-
harpur falls under for-
est area and a proposal
is being prepared to fa-
cilitate mining in the
area.
Agarwal informed
that the process of e-
auction for 110 con-
tracts has been started.

Jaipur: Most indus-
tries may be struggling
to resume their opera-
tions in the unlock
phase but the land ma-
fia is onto its time-test-
ed games from the word
go. Zones 8,10 & 12 of
the JDA are open play-
fields for the builders
and colonizers these
days with the enforce-
ment wing of the JDA
in cahoots. The enforce-
ment wing is not only
not acting upon the
complaints received but
in fact, turning a blind
eye on them.
Blessings from the
enforcement wing have
eaten up the facility ar-
eas as well. Zone 10 & 12
are witnessing a spike
in setting up illegal col-
onies with sector roads
becoming victim to il-
legal profiteering. The
case facility area near
Olio Homes in zone 8 is
a perfect case of en-
croachment in the
name of the integrated
township which has
made the villas of Oilo
Homes dilapidated.
JDA issued as many as
40 notices to the builder
but the influence of the
builder ‘closed’ all ways
to an action against
him. Such is the state of
the villa owners that
they are running from
pillar to post for justice
even after investing
their hard-earned mon-
ey (Rs 65 lakh for a villa)
in a JDA approved pro-
ject. It seems that the
‘lethargy’ of the en-
forcement wing has vir-
tually propped up a par-
allel development au-
thority for the land
mafia. A super confi-
dent builder Ranu Jin-
dal didn’t even bat an
eyelid and said that he
had no objection to any
action by JDA as he has
already sold the project.
It is surprising that
someone can be at peace
even after selling con-
structed set back areas,
constructing club, gym
& hospital in the resi-
dential part, endanger-
ing public lives by con-
structing STP in High
Tension security area,
blocking common road
area by building a wall
and selling constructed
structures without due
sub division of the
plots.
Govardhan Dham in
Khori Ropada village
of zone 10 is another
case where the enforce-
ment wing staged a
mock action to send out
a message of firm ac-
tion but the fact is that
the builder is not only
selling villas and du-
plexes but is developing
unapproved roads as
well. Enforcement can’t
see the colony being de-
veloped in a prohibited
ecological zone.
Kedia group is dis-
tributing lease in the
name of Ganpati Gruh
Nirman Samiti for its
duplexes and villas be-
ing sold at Rs 50-60 lakh
on the Niwaru-Govind-
pura link road in zone
12. When questioned
the contractor Kishan
Kumawat expressed
confidence in the influ-
ence of Kedia group
very much like the Bal-
aji Vihar. Similarly,
Kishorepura on Hathoj-
Bindayaka road has an-
other illegal colony
coming up on 20 bigha
land by the name of Ra-
dhika vihar-III by issu-
ing lease letters of Ra-
jhans Gruh Nirman
Samiti. All these pro-
jects are coming up on
agricultural lands. Ga-
janad vihar and Divya
enclave are other exam-
ples of enforcement
wings and builder/colo-
nizer nexus in this part
of the city.
With JDA wing in cahoots, land
mafia have an open playing field

Jaipur: Contrary to
BJP allegations, union
mines minister Prahl-
ad Joshi has said that
the state government
of Rajasthan is taking
strict action to curb il-
legal sand mining in
the state.
In a written reply to
a question in Parlia-
ment, Joshi stated that
on November 16, 2017,
the Supreme Court had
banned sand mining
due to lack of environ-
mental clearance.
After this, incidents
of illegal mining were
witnessed in Ra-
jasthan but the state
government is taking
strict action against
those involved in it in
order to stop illegal
mining.
Joshi informed the
Parliament that 31, 542
cases have been regis-
tered against illegal
sand mining from No-
vember 16, 2017 to Au-
gust 31, 2020 and a pen-
alty of Rs 191.52 crore
has been recovered
from those involved in
illegal mining.

It’s a comeback for
RETRO TRENDS‘Retro Look’ is something that is going to stay evergreen.
Keeping up with the new trends can be a bit difficult to
manage, but going retro and vintage is always a good
option; well, as they say- ‘Old is Gold’
t is true for a fact
that fashion runs in
a cycle. As the gen-
eration changes,
the taste of the new-
er ones keeps
changing- some
fashiontrendsareextremely
new and inspired by aesthet-
ic lookbooks, while some are
just inspired by the trends
from the past. Here, it clearly
proves that no matter where
the fashion industry goes,
the retro looks are
always going to
take a U-turn
and back into
the ward-
robes of the
fashionistas.
If there’s
anything styl-
ish that your
mom or grand-
mom ever
owned, make sure you dig it
outandkeepitsafe.Well,you
never know when it would
come back into fashion!
There were a few fashion
trends that were on a boom
once upon a time but fell out
for fashion for some time.
These trends then made a
comeback and the fashion
industry over the globe went
ga-ga over them. A few of
these trends are mentioned
below,thatareretro,vintage,
and of course, evergreen.
DUNGAREES: These
have been an all-time fa-
vourite since the time they
were invented. Dungarees
were and are worn with ei-
ther plain or printed t-
shirts, and not to forget the
cute head-band for an abso-
lute vintage look.
POLKAS: The moment
you look at polka dots,
you think about the vin-
tage fashion- don’t
you? Well, this
print is never go-
ing out of style any-
time soon, for sure.
CROP TOPS: Yes, you
read that right. This is not
somethingthat‘modern’and
‘open-minded’ women start-
ed wearing recently; it is
something that was in trend
back in the 1930s and 40s.
BELL SLEEVES: Fitted
on the shoulder and flaring
out wide towards the wrist,
this is the one that was
missing for a long time in
the middle, but is now
back with a bang!
Among these, there are
so many other trends that
have made a comeback.
Why don’t you sit with
your mom or grand-
mom and ask them
what was in fashion
when they were
young? You sure
would get a lot of
insight on the
same, and you
might just start anoth-
er trend in vintage
fashion- you never
know!

ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Some relationships are
very important and you
have to maintain the terms

life and like to enjoy wherever you
can. Love those who deserve to be
loved and discard the ones who are
not true to you. You shouldn’t waste
your time in convincing people.
SAGITTARIUS

scared of life and you are a high risk
taker. Do not take your studies lightly

You love your spouse more
than you can express so

how much you love him/her. Always
be prepared in advance specially
during the time of exams. You are
very attached to your homeland.
latinum is a rare
Silver-white met-
al, called the No-
ble Metal because
it is resistant to
tarnishing and is
stable, malleable
and flexible. Because it is
an anti-pollution Catalyst.
We will be weighed
against this Noble Metal
on the 75th Day of our
freedom from the
British yoke.
Not on a scale, but
scrutinized to see if
our nation measures
up to the Character-
istics of this Noble
Metal that will be
plumed to the crest of
our Great Nation.
Let’s start with its silver-
white Colour. In humans,
this colour in the hair sig-
nifies maturity and experi-
ence.
Can we, as a Nation, be
called mature when our po-
litical parties fight like
Gamecocks in the midst of
the biggest simultaneous
challenges in our History.
Can we be called experi-
enced when we let the Hy-
dra-headed Monster of Dis-
ease, Foreign Invaders,
Crashed Economy, Deepen-
ing internal Strife roam
free??
Like Platinum, are we
resistant to tarnish ??
How can that be true
when every man on the
street knows that Billions
of Dollars sitting in foreign
banks were snatched from
the toil of millions?
Like this Noble Metal,
are we stable, malleable &
flexible?
The biggest anchor
for Stability is Economic
well being. We have only
promised to disappoint
again and again. “Garibi
Hatao” slogan in the early
1970’s attracted millions of
hopeful and aspiring vot-
ers. Today, 50 years lat-
er, we have the world’s
highest numbers living in
abject poverty.
Are we Malleable &
Flexible like this rarest of
rare Metals??
FAR FROM IT FOLKS !!
Are we not set in stone as
far as our biases of caste,
religion, language and re-
gion are concerned. ??
Aren’t all States falling
over each other to enact
laws banning workers from
otherStates,asif theywere
from theEnemyterritory??
Lastly, Platinum is the
best Catalyst for control-
ling pollution !!
In spite of the Govt’s re-
lentlessSwachBharatcam-
paign, you will rarely find
a single immaculate street.
In spite of strict guide-
lines on wearing helmets
and masks, you will find
lakhs defying death.
In spite of the multitude
of food inspectors across
the country, you hear of
thousands of novel ways to
contaminate milk, sweet-
meats, ghee, alcohol, soft
drinks, what have you !!
We have almost a year
ahead of us to emulate
some of these character-
istics.
With 276 crore
hands, we could pick
up every shred of rub-
bish from our streets
by barely a week’s ef-
fort.
Makethisalitmustest
of true Nationalism. Writ-
ing lofty words on social
media is not even worth the
Bytes they consume!!
Stop lurching from be-
ing Geopolitical Experts
to Biotechnologists, to So-
cial Engineers, to Arms
experts.
Just move out of those
armchairs and pick up
those pieces of rubbish you
step over each day!!
That will be a game-
changing beginning to-
wards our Platinum
Hour!!
This transformed envi-
ronment will surely be-
come an inspiration for us
Indians to work together
to overcome the other
challenges looming large!!
PLATINUM HOURIn less than a year our Country
faces its PLATINUM HOUR!
