News Brief
To provide real time traffic
updates to commuters, govern-
ment will start highway radio
services on various national
highways spread across 13
states.
Road Transport and High-
ways Minister Nitin Gadkari
said in Lok Sabha on Thursday
that highway radio services has
been started on the Delhi-
Jaipur highway. Phase I of the
pilot project on Highway Ad-
visory Services to provide real
time traffic updates was imple-
mented on Delhi-Jaipur NH-8
and the pilot project was imple-
mented under the World Bank
Technical Assistance
programme, he added.
During Question Hour,

Through Radio On NH Soon'
Gadkari said highway radio
services would be started on
various national highways
spread across 13 states.

Rapists should be tortured
"till their skin comes off",
Union minister Uma Bharti has
said and accused the
Samajwadi Party
government of fail-
ing to provide jus-
tice to the victims of
the Bulandshahr
gangrape case.
Addressing an
election rally here
yesterday, she
claimed that during
her tenure as chief
minister when a
rape incident happened, "I also
told the woman to watch the
rapist being tortured".
"The persons who commit
such crimes must be hung up-
side down in front of the vic-
tims and must be thrashed till
their skin comes off. Salt and
chilly must be rubbed on their
wounds to make them suffer
till they beg for their lives.
"In my tenure as chief min-
ister, when a rape like this had
happened, I got this done. Po-
lice officials told me that do-
ing this was a violation of hu-
man rights. I replied that these
'danavs' (demons) do not have
human rights. I also told the
woman to watch the rapist be-

Union Minister Uma Bharti One-way traffic on the stra-
tegic Jammu-Srinagar highway
was allowed on Friday after
many parts of the
road remained
closed due to
snowfall and land-
slides, officials
said.
"No vehicle
will be allowed to
move in the oppo-
site direction," said
traffic department officials.
"This will also apply to
convoys of the army and the
paramilitary forces," the offi-
cials added.
A stretch of the highway
was washed away by a land-
slide in Mehar area of Ramban
district.
One-way Traffic Allowed On
Jammu-Srinagar Highway
funded under the World Bank
Technical Assistance
programme, wherein the pilot
will be implemented on more
stretches, has been approved,"
he noted.
The project's Phase I was
implemented from March 10 to
October 10 last year.
"Through All India Radio
stations in Delhi, Alwar and
Jaipur, real time traffic updates
of duration five minutes each,
was provided in 18 bulletins
every day.
"The information was pro-
vided on traffic congestion,
accidents, toll plaza waiting
times, weather conditions, road
diversions and road safety edu-
cation," Gadkari said.
The Nashri-Chenani tunnel
on the highway that connects
the Ramban district with
Udhampur is likely to be open
in March, which will reduce
the distance of the highway by
38 km. The 9.2 km long state-
of-the-art tunnel has been built
at a cost of Rs 2,514 crore.
The tunnel will also by-pass
the Batote-Patnitop stretch of
the highway.

window so that she could get
some peace after listening to
his screams and
cries for help," the
BJP leader said.
In July last year,
when a Noida fam-
ily was travelling to
Shahjahanpur by
car a group of ban-
dits waylaid them,
dragged the
women, including a
13-year-old girl, out
of their car to a
nearby field and raped them
while the men were tied with
ropes. The attackers also looted
cash, jewellery and mobile
phones from them.
In a first, Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation has installed six
monopole towers at Noida with
the help of Uttar Pradesh
Power Transmission Corpora-
tion (UPPTCL), for the under
construction corridor from
Noida Sector 34 to Electricity
City.
The monopole towers mea-
sure 61.2 m in height, the high-
est for any monopole tower in
DMRC Installs Tallest Monopole Towers In Country
India. "Monopole tower is a
new type of electricity and Wi-
Fi transmission
tower, which takes
up less space as
compared to the
conventional tower
[also called lattice
tower]," said a
DMRC spokesper-
son.
The electricity transmission
lines of UPPTCL were inter-
fering with the alignment of the
corridor in Sector 34.
As a result, DMRC
decided to raise the
height of these trans-
mission lines. The
area is heavily popu-
lated and also wit-
nesses a large vol-
ume of traffic on a
daily basis.
Taking the mission of
Digital India forward and in
order to modernise the medi-
cal department, New Delhi

has implemented e-hospital

hospital information. E-hos-
pital would include patient

ment.

Modiji should talk more about BJP’s merits
Ahead of UP elections
where Rahul Gandhi and
Akhilesh Yadav is hell bent on
maligning Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and his BJP,
Modi took a dig at Congress Jr.
Gandhi saying, “If you google
his name, then you will find the
largest number of jokes on his
name”, which is actually a fact.
However, the same thing is
applicable on Modi too, he is
listed as most wanted criminal
and there was huge social me-
dia war on this issue. Finally,
Google had to publish the dis-
claimer stating this appears
with search engine optimiza-
tion. Political leaders should
talk on merits and demerits of
each other rather than restor-
ing to such unwanted taunts.
Modi did not stop here and
went on criticising Akhilesh
Yadav’s decision to form alli-
ance with the Congress. The
PM was very much humorous
while attacking the two but the
ground reality is that, the duos
are having strong chances of
making it to power. Right now,
BJP has only one strong oppo-
nent and that too these two
political parties. BSP too is
warlord of UP power game.
Nothing is certain but one can
predict no future for BJP in the
state. I hope one day PM
speeches will have more mer-
its to talk about his government
and less about slamming oppo-
sition. Despite winning with
splendid majority our PM is
unable to breathe even today
without attacking Congress
and that is the irony of the time.
Meanwhile, to solace Jat
anger against the BJP, Modi
invoked Chaudhry Charan
Singh, comparing his govern-
ment with the latter. Modi
promised to provide funds to
farmers on Charan Singh’s
name in every district if the
BJP comes to power in the
State. From playing communal
card to pleasing Jats and prom-
ising long pending assurance
about building Ram Mandir,
BJP is trying anything to ev-
erything but still voters of UP
are not ready to buy jumlas.
Demonetization, might lead
to BJP’s downfall, Congress
took on ruling party by calling
it an anti-people’s move. On
the other hand, even after com-
ing to power for three years,
Modiji is still in attacking
mode. Till today, he failed to
prove his corruption claims
against Congress. Now, they
are in power for about 32
months and there is no progress
on any front. Those who made
such money are not gullible
like the bhakts to keep them in
cash form. It is less than 15
lakh crore currency in circula-
tion and they want people to
believe that 12 lakh crores is
with Congress men. Setting the
tone for the Winter Session of
Parliament, Shah claimed that
Congress was unhappy with
the withdrawal of the high-
value currency notes as its “for-
tune” was reduced to “paper
scrap” by PM Modi’s move.
Shah also mocked the Rahul
Gandhi “going to a bank in a
Rs. 4 crore car to exchange Rs.
4,000”, but he forgot to mock
PM’s own mother Heeraben
Modi visiting bank and for ex-
changing currency a news
which made headlines for two
days. Actually that was the PR
stunt, as many people died
while standing in queue, but
she being PM’s mother could
withdraw money in no time.
BJP has always alleged that
during UPA’s 10-year rule, the
Sonia-Manmohan government
indulged in one scam every
month, be it 2G, CWG, coal
allocation,Adarsh Society, air-
craft purchase and many oth-
ers. With such large-scale cor-
ruption, Congress leaders ac-
cumulated Rs. 12 lakh crore
which is equal to the size of
three Union budgets. They
parked this huge amount of
money in their houses,
godowns and at their friends’
places thinking that it was safe.
But Modi turned it into paper
scrap by announcing
demonetisation on November
8. This has taken away all the
charm from the faces of the
Congressmen. Now the ques-
tion here is, what was BJP do-
ing after coming to power?
When Amit Shah shouts,
India knows who are the real
thieves…but corrupt BJP pos-
sessed 200,000 cr black money
which was converted into white
money through new telecom
company, overnight huge
money was deposited in their
bank accounts. Still BJPhas no
guts or honesty to disclose their
party funds and its sources. Sur-
prisingly, BJP as party is unaf-
fected, and its leaders are pre-
tending to be clean. Well, they
might have fought elections
with crores of white money?
Modi ruling India, his party
is in power and his government
departments can be sent to ar-
rest Rahul Gandhi and Sonia
Gandhi. When Shah knows the
location, amount and many
things about Congress, what is
stopping him to act against
them? Why only verbal accu-
sations? Modiji expanding his
lungs, screamed from roof top
against Sonia Gandhi’s son in-
law and his corruption, but so
far no action has been taken
against him. BJP and its lead-
ers failed to act or prove their
claims against Gandhi family.
Even after coming to power the
blame game continued but no
action has been taken, because
those are false allegations.
I am not a Congress sup-
porter but, we cannot ignore
that the UPA has achieved
more than what Modi could.A
9.5 per cent average growth
rate compared to Modi’s trun-
cated 7 per cent no job growth
during BJP raj, export and
manufacturing has fallen dras-
tically. Prices of essentials
commodities have gone up, so
is farmer’s death. There is so
much unrest and hahakar
among common man. By the
way look around, all the tech-
nology, scientific achieve-
ments like Nuclear submarine,
ISRO’s successful journey to
Mars; Cryogenic Engine,
MGNREGA, 123 Nuclear
Agreement… Cellular Tech-
nology spread is UPA’s
achievement. Today, India is
the 5th largest economy, 6th
Nuclear Power, Third Space
Power, 2nd largest Defence
Force. If Modi was anywhere
in the picture, he opposed all
the major agreements includ-
ing 123 Nuclear Agreement,
MNREGA. All the allegations
of corruption against Congress,
in spite of best attempts by
Modi, have been discarded by
the court including Coal scan-
dal, National Herald, 2G scam.
Everyday a new corruption
charge is surfacing against BJP
either in MP or Rajasthan. BJP
is the biggest spender in the
elections which spent three
times than Congress in Lok
Sabha. Would it explain the
source of that money? Is their
stash been converted into new
currency or deposited in banks
before demonetization?
Why BJP does not under-
stand that the voters are not in
a mood to buy their allegations
and fake assurances, they want
some action to be taken. Black
money issue still remains un-
solved and back to where it
was. How long this party is
going to fool people?Anyway,
if such attacks and loose talks
continue, in coming future BJP
is going to lose its battle for
another ten long years.
They said he wouldn’t or
couldn’t do it. He did it and is
doing it with a vengeance, roil-
ing foes and friends alike at
home and abroad.
And in the midst of all the
turbulence created by his ex-
ecutive pen, Donald Trump al-
ways finds the time to tweet —
to trumpet “he did it” as also
to change the conversation.
In the two weeks since he
took over, the new President
has signed over a score of or-
ders from one to slash regula-
tions to another pausing intake
of refugees and travel from
seven terror-prone nations.
As protests against what
“the dishonest media”, as the
Donald views it, called “a
travel ban from seven Muslim-
majority nations” caused con-
fusion and chaos at airports
across America, Trump was
unruffled.
“Call it what you want, it is
about keeping bad people (with
bad intentions) out of coun-
try!” he tweeted.
Trumptimes:Badhombres,dumbdeals&hairraisingtales!
He even made fun of oppo-
sition Democratic House and
Senate leaders, Nancy Pelosi
and “head clown” Chuck
Schumer, for shedding “fake
tears” for the poor Syrian refu-
gees. “Pelosi and Fake Tears
Chuck Schumer held a rally at
the steps of The Supreme Court
and the mic did not work (a
mess)-just like the Dem party!”
he tweeted.
Trump also fired a defiant
acting Attorney General Sally
Yates, a holdover from the
Obama administration, for “be-
trayal” for refusing to defend
his order in court. Then as the
Democrats boycotted a few
Senate panels to block the con-
firmation of some of his cabi-
net nominees over “ethical
concerns”, Senate Majority
leader Mitch McConnell
changed the rules to do it any-
way without them.
“If you can, Mitch, go
nuclear,” Trump egged the Re-
publican leader to similarly
advance his new Supreme
Court nominee Neil Gorsuch’s
confirmation by stripping the
required 60-vote threshold if
Democrats try to put hurdles in
his path. Ever the showman,
Trump rolled out the “terrific”
conservative judge’s nomina-
tion in the Roosevelt Room of
the White House at prime time
keeping his final choice secret
until the last minute.
And before former
ExxonMobil CEO Rex
Tillerson was confirmed as his
Secretary of State, he took di-
plomacy in his own hands to
do some “tough talking” with
Mexican and Australian lead-
ers. As media reports citing
leaks would have it, he told
Mexican President that his
“bad hombres” needed to “be
knocked out” and abruptly
ended a call with Australian
Prime Minister over an
Obama-era “dumb deal.”
“Do you believe it? The
Obama Administration agreed
to take thousands of illegal
immigrants from Australia.
Why? I will study this dumb
deal!” “Dumb or not,” the US
would honour the deal, the
White House said later while
downplaying Trump’s
“hombre” comments as “light-
hearted”.
And in what pundits saw as
a sign of return to normalcy,
Trump told Israel that new
settlements in the occupied
West Bank “may not be help-
ful” in achieving Middle East
peace without sounding ad-
monishing. His “desi” ambas-
sador to the United Nations,
Nikki Haley, also “strongly
condemned” Moscow for “ag-
gressive actions” in eastern
Ukraine even as she voiced
Trump’s desire “to better our
relations with Russia”.
Trump also seemed in no
hurry to lift fresh sanctions
imposed by Obama in the wan-
ing days of his regime over
Moscow’s alleged meddling in
the presidential election to help
the Manhattan mogul.
In response to an Iranian
missile test, his administration
imposed new sanctions aimed
at Tehran’s ballistic missile
programme. But he again made
no move to tear up the Iran
nuclear deal that candidate
Trump had dismissed as a “di-
saster”.
But at a solemn National
Prayer Breakfast in Washing-
ton, Trump toldAmericans that
“We have to be tough” before
he inexplicably mockedArnold
Schwarzenegger, who has re-
placed him as “The Celebrity
Apprentice” host, for its poor
ratings.
“Pray forArnold,” he asked
the audience only to have the
Hollywood star hit back with a
suggestion, “Why don’t we
switch jobs?”
Meanwhile, Trump’s long
time doctor revealed to the
New York Times that the mo-
gul, who has often let people
ruffle his golden top to prove
it’s real, takes a prostate-related
drug to stimulate hair growth.

After Congress Vice Presi-
dent Rahul Gandhi's attack on
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
for his 'raincoat' barb on former
Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, veteran actor Anupam
Kher reminded him of how he
insulted Singh.
"Sorry but nobody has in-
sulted the Prime Minister more
than you. Remember tearing
the ordinance in a press con-
ference. Unless you think you
are royalty," Anupam, whose
wife Kirron Kher is a BJP MP
from Chandigarh, tweeted on
Thursday.
The actor, who has himself
been a supporter of the BJP and
Modi, reacted to Gandhi's
tweet that Modi demeaned his
No One Has Insulted A PM More
Than Rahul Gandhi: Anupam Kher
position and himself more than
anyone else by launching a sur-
prise attack on Manmohan
Singh.
Gandhi's tweet read: "When
a Prime Minister reduces him-
self to ridiculing his predeces-
sor -- years his senior, he hurts
the dignity of the parliament
and the nation."
This came in response to
Modi's Wednesday jibe at
Singh, saying: "Only Doctor
Sahab (Manmohan Singh)
knows the art of bathing wear-
ing a raincoat."
"For around 35 years, he
(Manmohan) has had a say or
a role in India's economic
policy and decisions. In these
35 years, we heard of many a
scam, but he has remained free
of any blemish." "There is a lot
for us politicians to learn... so
much happened he did not get
even a taint. Only Doctor
Sahab (Manmohan Singh)
knows the art of bathing wear-
ing a rain coat," Modi said, re-
sulting in a huge uproar and
walkout in the Rajya Sabha
from Congress members.
If you are a woman rider
and not wearing a helmet in the
national capital, chances are
that if you get a challan (ticket)
you could get beauty tips along
with it.
In an attempt to make
Delhi’s women riders and pil-
lion riders wear helmets, Delhi
Traffic Police personnel are
extolling the beauty benefits of
wearing helmets to women
violators. Just the other day,
when 28-year-old Aditi
Mehrotra was caught riding
pillion without a helmet at the
Janpath traffic signal, she had
little idea of how this could be
harmful for her hair. “The traf-
fic police personnel first gave
me a challan and then started
telling me how not wearing a
helmet would allow the wind
to blow pollutants into my hair
Traffic police in Delhi give
beauty tips to women riders
and as a result my hair would
become dry and brittle,” Ms.
Mehrotra recalled. The official
then went on to tell Ms.
Mehrotra, “Madam, if not for
safety wear a helmet next time
for beauty’s sake.”
Many traffic districts are
trying this tack to increase hel-
met compliance among
women. Some officials are also
telling women how they can
accessorise their helmets with
their clothes.
“I do not know much about
the latest style but I try to tell
young girls who do not wear
helmets how there are
colourful helmets available in
the market which will make
them look good and also save
them in an accident,” explained
Sukhbir Singh Channa, a head
constable deployed near the
Udyog Bhawan traffic signal.
In 2016, though the traffic
challans issued for helmet vio-
lations increased to 3.5 lakh
from 2.23 lakh in 2015, the
share of women violaters of the
helmet rule has remained only
4,321.
“We hear all kinds of ex-
cuses from women who ride
pillion without helmets. Our
attempt is towards implement-
ing the rule so that people can
be safe in case of accidents. So
along with challaning violators
we also educate them,” rea-
soned Garima Bhatnagar, Joint
CP (traffic).
A UN study showed that
15,000 lives across the world
can be saved each year if two-
wheeler riders start wearing
helmets. The study also
projects that between 2008
and 2020, 34 lakh people
might die.
Delhi LG Anil Baijal has
cleared the AAP government's
ambitious proposal of setting
up around 300 mohalla clinics
in government-run schools, but
asked it to take NOC from civic
agencies in a bid to ensure that
no laid-down rules of Educa-
tion Act are flouted.
The LG has asked for hir-
LGBaijalOkaysMohallaClinicsInGovtSchools
ing well-qualified doctors and
said that no laid-down rules of
Education Act should be
flouted while
setting up
mohalla clin-
ics on school
premises.
According
to an official,
as the pro-
posal has
been okayed
by the LG,
work on setting up mohalla
clinics will begin soon.
In November, Baijal's pre-
decessor Najeeb Jung had sent
back the file relating to the pro-
posal, citing certain clauses of
the Delhi School Education
Act under which school pre-
mises can be used only for aca-
demic purposes. Chief Minis-
ter Arvind Kejriwal had then
urged Jung to invite him and
Power Minister Satyendar Jain
for a discussion to resolve the
issue. The aim of opening
mohalla clinics on school pre-
mises is to provide free pri-
mary healthcare to students as
well as general public. "Lieu-
tenant Governor Anil Baijal
has cleared the proposal to
open around 300 mohalla
clincs on premises of Delhi
government's schools. Health
Department will now start
working on setting up such
clinics," said a senior govern-
ment official.
The Delhi High Court on
Thursday reserved its order on
pleas challenging the AAP
government's order to private
unaided schools to accept nurs-
ery admission forms based
only on the neighbourhood or
distance criteria. "It is an un-
precedented hearing," was how
Justice Manmohan put it while
referring to the deadline before
which he has to pass the order
on the petitions. The court,
which has reserved its decision
after hearing the parties for al-
most a month, said that it will
pass the order before the last
date for submission of the
forms, which is February 14.
"I do not want that kids' rights
are affected adversely. As the
parents will need sometime to
decide after my judgement, I
do not want to derail the pro-
cess. I do not want anyone to
be harmed," the judge said.
"This was an unprecedented
hearing as I started hearing the
issue without calling for the
counter affidavits from the par-
ties against whose decision
these petitions were filed" the
judge added.

National
India onThursday hit
out at China for its re-
marks that there was no
consensus over the US'
proposal to ban
Pathankot attack master-
mind and JeM chief
Masood Azhar at the
UN, saying if there is a
change in the Chinese
position, there will be a
consensus as well.
ExternalAffairsMin-
istry Spokesperson
Vikas Swarup also said
thematterhasbeentaken
up with the Chinese
Ambassador here and a
similar demarche is be-
ing made in Beijing.
Observing that the
proposal was not moved
by India but by three per-
manent members of the
UN Security Council the
US, the UK and France,
ChangeYourStanceOnAzhar:IndiaToChina
External Affairs Minis-
try Spokesperson Vikas
Swarup described it as a
"classic counter-terror-
ism proposal" and hoped
that China will also
come around to accept
this view.
"It is our understand-
ing that this was a clas-
sic counter- terrorism
proposal meant to pro-
scribe a dreaded terror-
ist leader MasoodAzhar
whose organisation the
Jaish-e-Mohammad has
already been proscribed
by the UN 1267 Com-
mittee.
"We don't view this
as a bilateral matter be-
tweenIndiaandPakistan
but as an issue of global
counter terrorism. We
hope that eventually
China will also come
around to accepting this
view. Obviously, if there
is a change in the Chi-
nese position, there will
be consensus also," he
said.
India's sharp reaction
came a day after China
defended its decision to
block the US-initiated
proposal in the UN for
designating Azhar as a
global terrorist, saying
the "conditions" have
not yet been met for
Beijing to back the
move.
Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesman Lu
Kang had also told a
mediabriefinginBeijing
that his government re-
sorted to this move to
allow the "relevant par-
ties" to reach a consen-
sus.
"We put out technical
hold after we had several
rounds of consultations
with India. We hope rel-
evant parties have
enough time to consult
with each other to make
sure that the decision
made by the Committee
will be based on consen-
sus representing the
broad international com-
munity,"hesaid.Swarup
also said the proposal
was submitted on Janu-
ary 19 after induction of
four new members to the
UN Security Council.
China has put a
"hold" on the US-initi-
ated proposal, which
comes barely weeks af-
ter India's bid to get
Azhar banned by the
UN was scuttled by
Beijing last December.
This has prompted India
to take up the matter
with the Chinese gov-
ernment.
After cooking gas LPG, the
government on Thursday made
Aadhaarmandatoryforavailing
subsidised foodgrains from the
ration shops with a view to bet-
ter target 1.4 lakh crore subsidy
under the food security law.
The government has given
time to those not having the
biometric-based unique identi-
fication number to apply for
Aadhaar by June 30.
The government issued a
notification to this effect, but
did stop short of saying that
subsidised foodgrains will not
be sold to anyone not having
Aadhaar after June 30.
Under the National Food
Security Law (NFSA), which
has been completely rolled out
across the country in Novem-
ber last year, the government
provides 5 kg of foodgrains per
person every month at ?1-3/kg
to over 80 crore people.
“...the Department of Food
and Consumer Affairs has is-
sued a Notification under
Aadhaar Act on February 8
which requires individual ben-
eficiaries having ration cards
under NFSA to furnish proof
Aadhaarmandatoryforavailing
subsidisedfoodgrainsfromPDS
of possession ofAadhaar num-
ber or undergo Aadhaar au-
thentication to receive subsi-
dies under NFSA (i.e.
subsidised food grains or cash
Transfer of Food Subsidy un-
der NFSA),” an official state-
ment said.
The notification would
come into effect from Febru-
ary 8 in all States and Union
Territories (UTs) except
Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu
and Kashmir. This will also be
applicable to all the new ben-
eficiaries.
“Beneficiaries under NFSA
who do not possess theAadhaar
number or are not yet enrolled
forAadhaar, but are desirous of
availing subsidies under NFSA
arerequiredtomakeapplication
for Aadhaar enrolment by June
30, 2017 and may visit any
Aadhaarenrolmentcentretoget
enrolled forAadhaar,” the state-
ment said. The notification has
been issued since subsidised
foodgrains under PDS and cash
transfer of food subsidy under
NFSA involves recurring ex-
penditure from the Consoli-
dated Fund of India, it added.
In the first high-level con-
tact between the defence de-
partments of India and the
U.S. since President Donald
Trump took charge, Defence
Minister Manohar Parrikar
and his U.S. counterpart,
James Mattis, on Wednesday
agreed to expand cooperation.
Officials said that during
the telephone conversation,
the two discussed cooperation
under the Defence Technology
Trade Initiative (DTTI) and
the Major Defence Partner
status, and agreed to take for-
ward the joint development of
defence platforms. However,
there is no meeting on the
agenda anytime soon, they
stated.
“In their first conversation,
Secretary Mattis committed to
build upon the tremendous
progress in bilateral defence
Parrikar, Mattis agree to
boost defence partnership
cooperation made in recent
years, underscoring the strate-
gic importance of the U.S.-In-
dia relationship and India’s
role in advancing global peace
and security,” Pentagon
spokesman Jeff Davis said.
The Defence Ministry said
Mr. Parrikar and Gen. Mattis
emphasised the high priority
placed by both countries on
the relationship, and resolved
to work together to expand
this partnership.
Earlier Mr. Parrikar had
written a letter congratulating
Gen. Mattis after his appoint-
ment. On the course of the de-
fence cooperation, sources
said, “It is early in the new
administration. But the fun-
damentals are good for it to
continue.” Key appointments
in the Pentagon are yet to be
made. There will be some
clarity after that on the de-
fence front, sources said. For
instance, the portfolio of
Frank Kendall, Under Secre-
tary for Acquisition, Technol-
ogy and Logistics, is likely to
be bifurcated, officials said.
He heads the DTTI from the
U.S. side.
India is looking to have
more than six times the num-
ber of earthquake sensors in
Uttarakhand to better under-
stand the geology of the region
and the evolution of Hima-
layan earthquakes.
On Monday, Rudraprayag
district of Uttarakhand regis-
tered a 5.8 magnitude earth-
quake. Though it didn’t cause
damage, seismologists say its
magnitude was “significant,”
and residents in several parts
of north India felt the tremors.
“We’ve just got approval
for a project to install 100-150
seismometers in the Garhwal-
Kumaon region [the key region
in the Himalayas and known to
be seismically active] because
Centretoinstall150quakesensorsinUttarakhand
there are some ideas that we
need to test,” V.K. Gahlaut, Di-
rector of the National Centre
for Seismology. Currently,
there are only about 20 sta-
tions, maintained by differ-
ent research agencies, that
track earthquake activity.
Though funds were still not
available, the entire project
would unlikely exceed ?10
crore, he said. This is a re-
gion known to be
seismically active because it
lies at the junction of two
tectonic plates — the Hima-
layan and the Eurasian Plate —
pushing against each other.
Major quakes in the region in-
clude the 1991 Uttarkashi
quake of magnitude 6.8 that
killed 700. It was followed by
a quake of similar intensity that
hit Chamoli in 1991 and killed
100. Experts have long warned
that a major quake in the Hi-
malayan region is imminent
because of the strain that has
been building up over the cen-
turies.
Attorney General Mukul
Rohatgi on Tuesday said there
was no legal problem to
AIADMK general secretary
Sasikala Natarajan's appoint-
ment as chief minister of Tamil
Nadu. Mr. Rohatgi also denied
reports that Tamil Nadu Gov-
ernor C. Vidyasagar Rao had
sought his opinion on whether
there were any legal hurdles to
her taking over as chief minis-
ter. Ms. Natarajan was acquit-
ted by the Karnataka High
Court on May 11, 2015 in the
disproportionate assets case,
along with former Chief Min-
ister Jayalalithaa, J. Elavarasi
and V.N. Sudhakaran. The
Karnataka government had ap-
pealed to the apex court against
the acquittal. A Bench of Jus-
tices P.C. Ghose and Amitava
Roy had reserved the judgment.

Health
Pasta lovers, rejoice! Eat-
ing the traditional Italian cui-
sine may improve your over-
all diet quality as compared
to those who do not consume
pasta, a new study has
claimed.
The study which analysed
the diets of people who eat
pasta found that they con-
sume greater amounts of
shortfall nutrients, including
foliate, iron, magnesium and
dietary fibre. Shortfall nutri-
ents are the nutrients most
people lack in their diets.
The research, presented at
The Obesity Society's annual
meeting in New Orleans, US,
also found that pasta con-
sumers are eating more es-
sential nutrients, less satu-
rated fat and less added sugar
compared to those who don't
eat pasta.
The study examined asso-
ciations between pasta con-
sumption, shortfall nutrient
Here'sWhyYouShouldEatMorePasta
intakes as defined by the 2015
Dietary Guidelines (2015 DG)
and diet quality in comparison
to non-pasta consumption in
US adults.
The data
review did
not look at
any health
o u t c o m e s
associated
with pasta
consump-
tion. Re-
s e a r c h e r s
analysed the
US National Health and Nutri-
tion Examination Survey
(NHANES) 2001-2012 data on
US adults (above 19 years of
age). Dietqualitywasmeasured
using the US Department of
Agriculture's (USDA) Healthy
EatingIndex-2010-whichmea-
sures one's diet against the
USDA Dietary Guidelines –
and pasta consumption was de-
fined as all dry domestic and
imported pasta/noodle varieties
made with only wheat and no
egg. From the analysis, re-
searchersidentifiedanumberof
key positive nutritional dietary
patterns associated with those
who eat pasta as part of their
diet compared to those who
don't eat pasta.
They found higher diet
quality scores and greater in-
take of shortfall nutrients like
folate, iron, magnesium and
dietary fibre among pasta eat-
ers. They also found lower
daily intakes of saturated fat
and added sugar along with
greater vitamin and mineral
intake overall.
"The new 2015-2020 Di-
etary Guidelines encourage
the consumption of all types
of grains for the many nutri-
ents they provide. Pasta can
be
an effective building
block for good nutrition, as
it serves as a perfect delivery
system for fruits, vegetables,
lean meats, fish and le-
gumes," said Diane Welland,
Nutrition Communications
Manager for the National
Pasta Association.
"This analysis under-
scores the nutritional impor-
tance of grains, such as pasta,
as consistent with a healthy
diet. It shows that pasta eat-
ers have better quality diets
than those who don't eat
pasta," said Welland. In ad-
dition to the nutrients men-
tioned in this new research,
pasta also provides important
carbohydrates, which the
body uses for energy. Pasta
is a low-sodium and choles-
terol-free food with a low
glycemic index. Low glyce-
mic index foods keep blood
sugar levels regular.
Practicing yoga may have
health benefits for people with
chronic lower back pain, ac-
cording to a latest review of
research conducted in India,
the UK and the US.
Lower back pain is a com-
mon health problem, and is
usually treated with self-care
and over-the-counter medica-
tion. For some people it may
last for three months or more,
and at this point it is consid-
ered "chronic".
Back pain is sometimes as-
sociated with a disease or con-
dition, but the vast majority of
lower back pain cases have an
unknown cause, and as a result
are described as non-specific.
Current guidelines state that
exercise therapy may be ben-
eficial, and in particular yoga
is sometimes used as a treat-
ment.
"Our findings suggest that
yoga exercise may lead to re-
ducing the symptoms of lower
back pain by a small amount,"
said Susan Wieland from the
University of Maryland in the
US.
Yoga has gained global
popularity as a form of mind-
body exercise, with general
YogaMayHelpTreatChronicLowerBackPain
life-style benefits, and recent
studies have investigated the
potential of yoga to relieve the
symptoms of lower back re-
lated problems. The new re-
view summarises the results of
12 randomised trials from
1,080 men and women with an
average age between 34 and 48
years old. The tri-
als were con-
ducted in India,
the UK and the
US. All par-
ticipants had
chronic non-
specific lower
back pain.
The re-
searchers in-
cluded stud-
ies that
compared
practising
yoga in a
class to
not doing
a n y
back-focused exercise, or to
other forms of exercise. Seven
studies compared yoga with no
exercise, three studies com-
pared yoga with back-focused
exercise, or added yoga for a
back-focused exercise
programme.
Two studies compared yoga
with two other forms of con-
trol group: no exercise or a
self-care book.All yoga in-
terventions used were spe-
cifically designed for
treatment of lower back
pain, and were provided by
experienced and qualified
teachers.
Researchers found that
compared to no exercise,
practising yoga might im-
prove back-related function
and may also reduce symp-
toms of lower back
pain by a small amount in the
first six to twelve months, al-
though the effect was consis-
tently less than that judged to
be clinically important.
However, larger and more
robust studies with longer fol-
low up
are
needed to draw any firm con-
clusions about the long-term
health effects of yoga. How-
ever, yoga may cause an in-
crease in back pain in some
people. About five per cent
more yoga participants experi-
enced increased back pain,
although this may be simi-
lar to the risk of having
side effects from other
back-focused exercise.
"At the moment we
only have low to moder-
ate quality evidence for
the effects of yoga before
six months as a type of ex-
ercise for helping people
with chronic lower back
pain," said Wieland. The
research was published in
the journal Cochrane Li-
brary.
Exposure to the sticky resi-
due of tobacco smoke – or
third-hand smoke – left behind
on the furniture and walls of
your home may significantly
affect your baby's growth and
immunity system, researchers
have found.
The findings showed that
the residue of the smoke puts
babies and toddlers at much
greater risk because they come
into contact with contaminated
surfaces while crawling or
teething during their critical
period of immune system de-
velopment.
"We suspected the young
are most vulnerable because of
their immature immune sys-
tems, but we didn't have a lot
of hard evidence to show that
before," said lead author Bo
Hang, scientist at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory
Third-hand Smoke May
Affect Growth Of Baby
in California, US.
Further, the dangers associ-
ated with smoking continues
for a long time, even after the
cigarette is
snuffed out,
the re-
searchers
said. The
team stud-
ied the
changes to
body weight
and the he-
matopoietic
system after
three weeks
of exposure
for two age groups of mice:
birth to 3 weeks and 12-15
weeks.
They were compared to a
control group of mice that were
not exposed to smoke.
The results revealed new-
born mice exposed to smoke
weighed significantly less than
mice born in a control group.
In addition, newborn and adult
mice exposed to third-hand
smoke showed persistent
changes in blood cell counts.
There were lower levels of
platelets and specific types of
white blood cells – associated
with inflammation and allergic
reactions – in the smoke-ex-
posed mice.

Business
Online retailers
Flipkart, Snapdeal and
Amazon on Thursday
came together to raise
concerns about the tax
collection at source
(TCS) clause under
draft model GST law,
saying it could result in
a capital lock-down for
sellers and discourage
them from selling
online.
This is the first time
that the three companies
–locked in intense com-
petition for leadership
of the booming Indian e-
commerce market –have
come together to voice
their concerns on an in-
dustry issue. In the past,
they have even taken
potshots at one another
through social media
platforms like Twitter
and also offline.
Stressing that GST is
one of the most forward-
Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal Flag
Worries Over TCS Clause In GST
looking tax initiatives,
the players exuded con-
fidence that it will have
a transformative impact
on the sector.
However, the TCS
clause would lead to a
capital lock-down of
about Rs 400 crore per
annum and also discour-
age merchants from sell-
ing online.
Under TCS clause,
e-commerce market-
places will have to de-
duct a portion of the
amount payable to sell-
ers on their platform and
remit it to the govern-
ment. The draft model
GST law is due to be
finalised at the end of
this month.
"We believe we have
made a significant dif-
ference to the whole
ecosystem... There are
hundreds and thousands
of sellers online and a
lot of them are entrepre-
neurs, some of them are
offline retailers... we
have come a long way
in creating this ecosys-
tem," Flipkart co-
founder Sachin Bansal
told reporters here at a
FICCI event.
"This is apart from
the TCS issue. Our esti-
mate is that at current
scale, Rs 400 crore per
annum of capital will be
locked into the system
that will not be acces-
sible to sellers and will
eat into the working
capital of the sellers and
will deter them from
coming online and list-
ing with us," he said.
Amazon India Head
AmitAgarwal said, "All
of us are investing ahead
of scale and a lot of the
investment is going into
building the right infra-
structure and ecosys-
tem, in training/educat-
ing sellers and bringing
them online and that at-
tracts consumers to
come to our market-
places... This flywheel
has been spinning for
the last few years...
when the ecosystem
gets excited, a lot of
other industries ben-
efit."
He added that the
TCS would be a "damp-
ener".
Snapdeal co-founder
and CEO Kunal Bahl
said "e-commerce is vo-
ciferously for GST".
"To enable the suc-
cess of these small busi-
nesses, we must do.
TCS goes completely
against that spirit. E-
commerce is at an inter-
esting confluence of
Digital India, Make in
India and Start Up In-
dia... The government
should seriously look at
TCS as this will be seri-
ous impediment for our
industry," he said.
The wages under the Ma-
hatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Act
are likely to increase as the
Rural Development Ministry is
considering "updating" the
baseline, based on which work-
ers are paid, to insulate the
poor in rural areas from the ris-
ing cost of living.
The baseline for annual re-
vision of wages paid under
MNREGA "can be changed"
from Consumer Price Index-
Agriculture Labour (CPI-AL)
to Consumer Price Index for
Rural (CPI-Rural).
"We are looking into the
suggestion of the S Mahendra
Dev Committee to change the
baseline for revision of wages
paid under MNREGA to CPI-
Rural from CPI-AL, but the fi-
nal call will be taken after con-
sultation with all state govern-
ments," Rural Development
SecretaryAmarjeet Sinha said.

Likely To Increase
up by the Centre under econo-
mist S Mahendra Dev had sug-
gested that the wages under
MNREGA should be equal to
or higher than the minimum
wage in states.
The panel had also sug-
gested that MGNREGA wage
rates be revised every year on
the basis of CPI-Rural as it
takes into consideration more
variables for rural areas as
compared to CPI-AL.
According to sources, the
Rural Ministry has already
moved the proposal to the Fi-
nance Ministry, which has
asked for more deliberations
on the issue. At present, the
wages under MNREGA varies
from Rs 167 in Jharkhand,
Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh
and Bihar to Rs 259 in Hayana.
The budget provision of Rs
38,500 crore under the rural
employment scheme in 2016-
17 has been increased to Rs
48,000 crore in 2017-18.
The Monetary Policy Com-
mittee (MPC) has been more
concerned about global factors
than domestic ones, former
Chief Economic Advisor
Arvind Virmani said on Thurs-
day, adding the country needs
faster rate cuts from the Re-
serve Bank of India (RBI).
"There are two factors --
global and domestic.The MPC
was much concerned about
global factors, which is exactly
what has happened, and much
less about domestic factors,"
Virmani told BTVi in an inter-
view. The RBI left the key in-
terest rates unchanged in its
policy review on Wednesday.
"I have been recommending
faster rate cuts. They should
cut rates but they will not,
given my understanding of the
things that drive them. There
should have been a rate cut
now," he added. "The RBI is
behind the curve. There is 70
per cent probability of con-
sumer price index (CPI) infla-
tion between 4-5 per cent and
there is 15 per cent chance of
it being less than 4 per cent. On
the basis of that, they should
cut rates," Virmani said.

Faster Rate Cuts
From RBI: Official
Over a month after the end
of 50-day demonetisation pe-
riod, the RBI on Wednesday
said it is reconciling data on
junked 500 and 1,000 rupee
notes with physical cash and
the "final numbers" will be di-
vulged after June 30, the day
Junked Notes Deposit Data To
Be Revealed After June: RBI
when all windows for deposit-
ing old notes will be closed.
Following the shock
demonetisation announcement
on November 8, the govern-
ment had asked people to de-
posit old notes in banks by
December 30. Indians who
were abroad during November
9 to December 30 have been
given a 3-month grace period
till March 31 to deposit the
junked notes, while for the
NRIs, it is 6 months till June
30. RBI Deputy Governor S
S Mundra said the final num-
bers can only be revealed af-
ter counting the notes depos-
ited in cooperative banks, re-
ceipt of information from
Nepal and Bhutan and close
of the window for deposit of
notes by NRIs. "After adding
all these, we will give out the
number (of notes deposited).
But the final numbers and
piece to piece verification of
the huge volume of currency
that has come in will take
time. That we will come out
in due course," he told report-
ers here.
Tata Steel on Thursday
said it has signed a definitive
agreement to sell Speciality
Steel business in the UK to
Liberty House Group for 100
million pounds (about Rs 840
crore).
The UK-based Liberty

origin executive chairman
Sanjeev Gupta, said the deal
secures the future of around
1,700 jobs directly, and thou-
sands more in the supply chain
and regional economy.
UK business secretary
Greg Clark said: "Acquiring

ness in South Yorkshire and

"I look forward to hearing
more about their expansion
plans which secures skilled
jobs at the business into the fu-
ture."
"We want to work with the
steel industry on proposals to
transform and upgrade their
sector as part of the modern
Industrial Strategy so we can
build on our strengths and ex-
tend excellence into the fu-
ture," he said.

'Excited For My
New Innings
As An Author'Actor Divya Dutta is all set for the
launch of her book 'MeAnd Maa', a mem-
oir about her mother, and is looking for-
ward to start her "new innings" as an au-
thor.
The book will be launched by superstar
Amitabh Bachchan.
"It's a memoir about my mother. It is a great
thing to be starting as my new role of an au-
thor. There are two professions I consider
the best where you can really express your-
self: writing and acting. It's great to be a part
of both." Divya said.
The actor lost her mother last year after a
post-surgery complication.
The Badlapur actor says she will continue
writing post 'Me and Maa' and will come up with
something new. "This is my new innings as an
author. I know for sure I'll be writing continu-
ously. It's not a one off thing. I'll give myself a
little break before I start again."
On the film front, the 39-year-old actor will be seen
as a politician in the upcoming Irada. TheAparna Singh
directed film also features Arshad Warsi and
Naseeruddin Shah.
"When Aparna narrated the role to me, I knew it
was something I had to do. She has written the role
very well.We sat together, gave her the little Punjabi
touch."
When the first image was out, comparisons were
drawn between Divya's look and Pakistani politician
Hina Rabbani Khar but the actor insists she did not
model the character on her.
"The look has been compared to Hina but that was
not on my mind. When you take reference points you
limit yourself as an actor. I knew the setting was Punjab
and I let myself be. I think I modelled it to somebody
who I would be if I was a politician." The film is sched-
uled to release on February 17.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan
has donated Rs 51 lakh as part
of funds to be used to build
an auditorium in Delhi's
Kirori Mal College from
where he graduated.
At an event here on
Wednesday, the vet-
eran actor spoke
fondly of his college
days in the Delhi Uni-
versity campus. At an
alumni meet of the college
BigBGivesRs51LakhForDelhi'sKiroriMalCollege
and fundraising for the
auditorium, Big B said:
"Whatever we acquire in
our college or school days,
those memories stay with us
for the rest of life. "I don't
know whether you will agree
to that or not but we keep re-
calling those memories most
of the time. It's like a mirror
in front of us. We can't for-
get those memories." The
event was attended by many
others includingVijay Krishna
Acharya,AliAbbas Zafar and
Kabir Khan.
Gossip mills have been in overdrive with
rumours of his relationship with actress and
Padmavati co-star Deepika Padukone, but
Ranveer Singh has always chosen not to
speak about it. The actor says he prefers to
be protective about his personal life.
"The thing is I find that there is too much
scrutiny anyway, and I don't want to encour-
age it or add to it. So, I am very protective
about my personal life. I would like to pro-
tect a few aspects in my life," Ranveer said.
"I am mostly open and honest, but there
are some aspects that I choose to protect and
I hope people respect my decision," the actor
added.
The 31-year-old star has been a part of
the industry for over six years and has worked
in hit films like Band Baaja Baaraat , Goliyon
Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela , Dil Dhadakne Do
and Bajirao Mastani. He describes his expe-
rience in the Hindi film industry as "magi-
cal".
"I genuinely believe that I am living a
dream. Every day when I wake up, I can
hardly believe that I am a mainstream actor
who works in Hindi
films. Working in mainstream Hindi films
has been my dream ever since I was a little
'I'm Very Protective About My Personal Life'
kid," he added.
The actor, who was
also lauded for his role in
Lootera, says he has
learnt so much by col-
laborating with many
gifted people who have
enriched his life and cre-
ativity.
"My work has been
appreciated and I have
learnt from the highs
and, more so, from the
lows. I have become
more of a well-
rounded person
thanks to my expe-
rience," he added.
R a n v e e r ' s
next film is
Padmavati,
directed by
ace filmmaker
Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film also features
Shahid Kapoor and Deepika.
This is not the first time that Ranveer is work-
ing with Bhansali. They last worked together for
Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani.
With a career spanning over
25 years and and a 100-plus
filmography, Akshay
Kumar has highlighted
the concept of "good
over evil" through
many of his movies.
However, the actor
says he has never in-
tended to preach any-
thing to the audience or
to change anybody's mindset
with his work.
"I don't do films to bring
changes in people's minds. I do
films which I believe in. So I
present the films which I be-
lieve in. If anybody likes the
film or not, that depends on
people," Akshay told IANS
ahead of the release of his new
courtroom drama "Jolly LLB
2".
With a smile reflecting
fulfilment on his face, the 49-
year-old "Khiladi" of Hindi
I Don't Make Films To Change
People's Mindsets: Akshay Kumar
cinema added: "I did a film
called 'OMG - Oh My God!'
because I don't believe in
idol worship. I believe
god is within us. I feel
why are we wasting
milk by pouring it
over god's idols...
Rather than that, we
should give it to some
poor person.
"A lot of people tell me
that they liked that film and
now don't follow the same
(don't believe in idol wor-
ship)."
But Akshay said it has
never been a deliberate attempt
by him to make "films to
teach".
"I do films which I like to
think about personally," he
said.
While one can witness the
emphasis on comedy as a genre
and patriotism as a theme in

To provide real time traffic
updates to commuters, govern-
ment will start highway radio
services on various national
highways spread across 13
states.
Road Transport and High-
ways Minister Nitin Gadkari
said in Lok Sabha on Thursday
that highway radio services has
been started on the Delhi-
Jaipur highway. Phase I of the
pilot project on Highway Ad-
visory Services to provide real
time traffic updates was imple-
mented on Delhi-Jaipur NH-8
and the pilot project was imple-
mented under the World Bank
Technical Assistance
programme, he added.

Gadkari said highway radio
services would be started on
various national highways
spread across 13 states.

Rapists should be tortured
"till their skin comes off",
Union minister Uma Bharti has
said and accused the
Samajwadi Party
government of fail-
ing to provide jus-
tice to the victims of
the Bulandshahr
gangrape case.
Addressing an
election rally here
yesterday, she
claimed that during
her tenure as chief
minister when a
rape incident happened, "I also
told the woman to watch the
rapist being tortured".
"The persons who commit
such crimes must be hung up-
side down in front of the vic-
tims and must be thrashed till
their skin comes off. Salt and
chilly must be rubbed on their
wounds to make them suffer
till they beg for their lives.
"In my tenure as chief min-
ister, when a rape like this had
happened, I got this done. Po-
lice officials told me that do-
ing this was a violation of hu-
man rights. I replied that these
'danavs' (demons) do not have
human rights. I also told the
woman to watch the rapist be-

was allowed on Friday after
many parts of the
road remained
closed due to
snowfall and land-

said.
"No vehicle
will be allowed to
move in the oppo-
site direction," said
traffic department officials.
"This will also apply to
convoys of the army and the
paramilitary forces," the offi-
cials added.
A stretch of the highway
was washed away by a land-
slide in Mehar area of Ramban
district.

funded under the World Bank
Technical Assistance
programme, wherein the pilot
will be implemented on more
stretches, has been approved,"
he noted.
The project's Phase I was
implemented from March 10 to
October 10 last year.
"Through All India Radio
stations in Delhi, Alwar and
Jaipur, real time traffic updates
of duration five minutes each,
was provided in 18 bulletins
every day.
"The information was pro-
vided on traffic congestion,
accidents, toll plaza waiting
times, weather conditions, road
diversions and road safety edu-
cation," Gadkari said.
The Nashri-Chenani tunnel
on the highway that connects
the Ramban district with
Udhampur is likely to be open
in March, which will reduce
the distance of the highway by
38 km. The 9.2 km long state-
of-the-art tunnel has been built
at a cost of Rs 2,514 crore.
The tunnel will also by-pass

BJP leader said.
In July last year,
when a Noida fam-
ily was travelling to
Shahjahanpur by
car a group of ban-
dits waylaid them,
dragged the
women, including a
13-year-old girl, out
of their car to a
nearby field and raped them
while the men were tied with
ropes. The attackers also looted
cash, jewellery and mobile
phones from them.
In a first, Delhi Metro Rail
Corporation has installed six
monopole towers at Noida with
the help of Uttar Pradesh
Power Transmission Corpora-

construction corridor from
Noida Sector 34 to Electricity

The monopole towers mea-
sure 61.2 m in height, the high-

new type of electricity and Wi-
Fi transmission
tower, which takes
up less space as
compared to the
conventional tower
[also called lattice
tower]," said a
DMRC spokesper-
son.
The electricity transmission
lines of UPPTCL were inter-
fering with the alignment of the
corridor in Sector 34.
As a result, DMRC
decided to raise the
height of these trans-
mission lines. The
area is heavily popu-
lated and also wit-
nesses a large vol-
ume of traffic on a
daily basis.
Taking the mission of
